FOXNEWSW The Daily Briefing With Dana Perino March 14, 2019

Chief Congressional Correspondent mike emanuel is live on capitol hill. Mike, where do we stand . I think the votes happening any time. Reporter thats right. Any time now. Senate Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell will stand with President Trump on this border emergency. Beyond all the partisan rhetoric and denials of reality that we see from our friends across the aisle, just the facts of the matter. And the facts are not at all ambiguous. Theres a clear Border Security and humanitarian crisis on the southern border of the United States of america. Reporter mitt romney is one of at least eight Senate Republicans expected to oppose President Trump saying, quote, i am seriously concerned that overreach by the executive branch is an invitation to further expansion and abuse by future president s and the Senate Democratic leader is trying to put pressure on republicans. All of a sudden again because President Trump simply wants it. They say lets abandon those principles and vote, and vote to change fundamentally the way the balance of power works. Shame. Reporter again, that vote any time now. Well be watching to see how many other republicans may cross over and oppose this president this one time, dana. Dana mike, on the other side of the capitol, the house voted to make the findings of the Mueller Report public. Reporter thats right. 4200 with this pitch coming from the house intelligence chairman. If the special counsel has indeed uncovered evidence of serious wrongdoing on the president s part, that evidence must be furnished to congress and ultimately to the american people. With holding the full report or under lying evidence would only heighten concerns over a coverup or a partisan double standard. Reporter a leading House Republican warned that Mueller Report might not live up to the hype. I have heard a lot of my colleagues across the aisle talk about what they believe should be in this report. Maybe i have a problem and maybe a news flash to give them. What happens when it comes back and says none of this was true . The president did not do anything wrong . Then the meltdown will occur. Reporter supporters say it is about transparency and trying to press william barr to release as much as possible of that Mueller Report, dana. Dana thank you. More on this now with karl rove, former White House Deputy chief of staff and white house contributor. I want to ask you about this vote thats happening about the National Emergency declaration by the president. It is the first time the president will have to exercise his veto. Senators that are making this decision, its not an easy one for them. They dont want to be seen as rebuking the president , but they are trying to protect the legislative branch. Do i have that right . I think thats right. Youve got to differentiate between votes against a sitting president by members of his own party that really matter a lot and those where it matters, but not as much. Remember, if republicans break on this particular issue, its to pass a measure that would crimp the president s ability to declare a National Emergency in the future. And he can veto it. He will be sustained on the veto. These are the votes. It did pass the house by a margin big enough to sustain, to override a veto, it wont, in my opinion, pass the senate by a margin big enough to override a veto. The president , even if members vote against him, he ought to remember theres another day. When we were there, you may remember, no child left behind and the medicare prescription part d bills. There was a member from indiana who voted against president bushs position on both of those measures. Voted with the democrats. His name was mike pence. But on the other side of it, he was one of the leaders of giving trade Promotion Authority and the president s trade agreements passed through the congress. Theres always going to be another day, and so the president s got to be careful. He gets the final say. He will veto it. Hell be sustained in the veto. But hes going to have to depend on these members to pass his program. If we dumped all over mike pence then, maybe he wouldnt be as enthusiastic ab standing up and carrying on the fight about other measures we cared about. Dana ten Senate Republicans voting to basically condemn the National Emergency declaration. We have pictures of them here. Another example i think would be on member dubai ports, karl . That brought republicans and democrats again against president bush. That was his first veto threat. Yeah. Exactly. Sometimes its even worse than that. I remember Social Security modernization, Social Security reform in five. We couldnt even get them to vote for it. In may, a close friend of mine, then House Majority whip roy blunt of missouri listed the legislations the house would take up after memorial day and Social Security reform was not on the list. Dana when i describe that time, the republicans were behind the president , so far behind that you couldnt even see them. Karl, can you stay with us . Beto orourke, former congressman who just lost against ted cruz is now running for president. Already hitting the campaign trail in iowa, the state that kicks off president ial voting. We have mike tobin there in burlington, iowa. Whats the mood there, mike . Reporter the mood is very exciting. If you look over my shoulder, thats mr. Orourke on the counter top here at the coffee shop because the place is so packed, thats the only place he could address the crowd out here after making it official this morning. His priorities, as hes outlining very clearly, the economy, the bitter partisan divide, hyper partisanship. He puts a lot of emotion behind climate change. Some will criticize the Green New Deal for being too bold or being unmanageable. I tell you what. I haven seen anything better that addresses the singular crisis that we face, the crisis that could, at its worse, lead to extinction. Reporter critics are already after him. Club for growth action calls it beneficiary of white privilege. Rnc chair says that he has nothing to run on. His greatest accomplishment is losing to ted cruz. The president this morning criticizing his hand gestures. Dana he is certainly gesturing a lot. Lets bring back karl rove. You know texas very well. You know beto orourke. This last night, right before i think press time, for print papers, look at this vanity fair cover. This was obviously an Annie Lebovitz shoot. What do you think about his rollout so far . For the democratic primary, its pretty smart. I do think its ironic that he announces for president in essence in an article in a magazine that has vanity in its title. Theres a lot of vanity in this for Robert Francis orourke. But hes going to be a serious contender. He is, i think, one of the most reckless candidates i have ever seen. He said in the vanity fair article that he never prepared speeches. He never wrote them down. He just winged it. Thats why he came out in favor of tearing down all the fence and wall between the u. S. And mexico, which go to san diego and ask people if they want somebody to be walk out of a neighborhood and walk into a neighborhood in tijuana. Thats not secure. Dana let me ask you about one thing i saw today. Perhaps people on the right and maybe his other competitors on this democratic primary should not under estimate him. One thing i didnt realize, apparently, especially younger christians, seem to be attracted to his candidacy. He has got an ability to have support across the country with small donors willing to pay up over an over again. He raise 80 million in his senate campaign, a record. The question is how many of them are gonna stick with him . Lot of them will. Look, this guy has got charisma. This guy has got personality plus. Theres a comfort in the article vanity fair article he says, you got to be comfortable with who you are. You got to know who you are an be authentic. He has a lot of authenticity about him. We shouldnt under estimate him. Hes also from a democratic perspective going to Say Something usual about, i want to work with republicans and democrats to get things done. Elizabeth warren isnt going to say that. Bernie sanders isnt going to do that. On the other hand, his positions are pretty hes in favor of the Green New Deal. He wants medicare for all. Universal basic income. In june of last year he called for the impeachment of President Trump. Even before there was any evidence of any wrongdoing. Dana even though nancy pelosi is saying no. I could talk to you all day but theyre telling me i have gotta go. There is a new criminal investigation into facebook. And passengers across the country are in limbo after President Trump makes a tough decision to ground the newest model of boeing 737s. We are live at chicagos ohare an miamis airports to see how travellers are doing. I trust our air travel officials. If they feel the need to ground those 8s, they should. They tell me its operational, but im not sure its as big an issue as some people are making it sound like it is. Veteran families know what it means to serve. Renting. Moving. Renting again. Stop renting. Let newdays Operation Home help you buy a home with no down payment and not one dollar out of pocket for closing costs. With automatic authority from the va, newday can say yes when banks say no. So stop renting. Start looking. Now when you walk into an open house and say this is the one. It really can be. Go to operationhome. Com or call 18004066926 alice loves the smell of gain so much, she wished it came in a fabric softener too. [throat clears] say hello to your fairy godmother, alice. Oh and look they got gain scent beads and dryer sheets too dana back now. French investigators saying there is minimal damage to one of the two black boxes recovered from the wreckage of an Ethiopian Airlines jet. This as they work to figure out what caused the plane to go down, killing all on board. Airline an travel plans have been up ended after boeing was forced to ground the entire complete of 737 max 8 and max 9 planes. We have Team Coverage with phil keating live at Miami International airport. But first jeff flock is at chicagos ohare airport. How is it going there . Reporter its a bit of a mess. Look at the bore here. Maybe you see every other flight essentially are cancelled or delayed. Part of that is weather from that bomb cyclone out there. Look at the delay and cancellation numbers system wide. Delays, over 2,000 delays, cancellations about 1400 thus far. And its not just the 737 max flights that are being cancelled. The airlines are canceling some other flights to sub in for those 737 max flights that have been grounded. Some flights that were previously not scheduled as a max may be cancelled as our team is focused on canceling flights that will impact the smallest number of passengers. Case in point there is united. A flight from houston to san diego, united 991 today, was scheduled to be flown on a max 9 aircraft. Instead, it is traveling on time because they cancelled another flight to bring that plane over which was a 737 900 series. Thats the previous version of the 737 to sub in for that one. Bottom line, if youre going to the airport, if youre on a max, maybe youre cancelled, maybe youre not. Id check it out. Dana lots of scrambling indeed. Thank you, jeff. Lets go to the travel situation in florida. Miami International Airport is home to dozens of grounded boeing planes. Phil keating is there with that story. Phil . Reporter American Airlines has a bit of a small fleet of these 737s. None of them are carrying passengers because they are now all grounded. That impacts 85 flights in and out of Miami International airport every day. So now obviously all of those are having to be rescheduled. As for cancellations today, 28 arrivals and departures cancelled at mia on top of 19 yesterday. This is where all of the affected passengers, many of whom are frustrated, but many feel relieved theyre no longer flying on this particular aircraft. They line up here. Depends on when those flights are booked, in the daytime, morning, afternoon, whether you have waves of dozens of people behind me or you just have an smattering behind me. The very last of this aircraft landed here last night. Same is true for Southwest Airlines and its 737 maxes at ft. Lauderdale hollywood International Airport last night. In total, there are about 75 of these 737 maxes flying u. S. Routes. About 400 world wide. Its a new plane, only about two years old. All the airlines that use those planes, which include american, southwest, united, theyre all shuffling around other airports to get tens of thousands of passengers rebooked. That causes a domino effect for other passengers. Now, in phoenix wednesday, tom paynes son had already taken off from houston. Thats when President Trump announced that the faa was going to ground all of these planes. So payne was well aware the whole time his son was in the air and, as one would expect, he was quite concerned the whole flight. 60 planes in the United States were flying. Two crashed in the last couple months. Everybody else in the world is shutting them down and were still flying the same planes. Reporter now, American Airlines here tells us they did pay for all of the hotels for those impacted passengers last night. Most were able to fly out early this morning and into the afternoon as well. As far as spring break goes, well miami and south florida are home to five weeks of spring break. Well see if the airline can get the reshuffling done in time for the weekend. Dana people need a dose of vitamin d down there. Phil keating, thank you. Roger stone spending the morning in district court. What a judge said about his gag order and when his trial will begin.

He faces seven counts of lying to congress, witness tampering and obstructing justice. Stone has plead not guilty. Catherine herridge is live in washington. Theres a development every day. Reporter good afternoon. The trial date of early november and a status hearing set for mid september, roger stone Left District Court in washington. Stone is facing trial for lying to congress about his communications with others about hacked democratic emails. Stone, who made his name and living with publicity, today shunned reporters and their questions after the twohour session. Today stone also signed outstanding paperwork. The gag order was not modified. Stone is free to fund raise for his defense and proclaim his innocence, but is not free to discuss the special counsel case against him. For now judge Amy Berman Jackson set aside issues surrounding stones book and whether it violates a gag order called the myth of russia collusion. The book contains whats built as a new explosive introduction. An aide subpoenaed said he expected more from the president. I think that trump should have been more loyal to roger. I think between roger and trump, roger is the victim in that relationship. Once again, i think roger went out of his way to help donald, even during the primary. Reporter also the stone hearing this morning was lead prosecutor for special counsel Andrew Weissman. Just a few hours after that, dana, we confirmed through the special counsels office that Andrew Weissman is leaving. Some are reading this as another indicator that the high profile case is winding down. But the facts are weissman was the gate keeper for the manafort case. His portfolio is empty. Dana his todo list is all crossed off. Thank you very much. For more on this, former deputy assistant, attorney general. Andrew weissman, prosecutor, as catherine and i were just talking about, does this give us indication that if he is not having anything more to do with the Mueller Investigation and coming back to new york, hell be working at nyu and teaching there, does that give you a sense that the Mueller Investigation is wrapping up . Dana, i think youve got it about right. Weissmann is pretty much the lead prosecutor for the mueller team. So that, plus scheduling the roger stone trial in november. It looks like the last weisses of the investigation are falling into place. Really, all weve got to wait for is the report itself to be
