>> Sandra: FOX NEWS ALERT FROM
THE HILL.
THE SENATE DEBATING RIGHT NOW A
MEASURE TO REJECT PRESIDENT
TRUMP'S DECLARATION OF A
NATIONAL EMERGENCY AT THE
U.S./MEXICO BORDER.
THAT VOTE EXPECTED LATER TODAY.
THE DEBATE CONTINUES THERE ON
THE FLOOR.
LET'S GET TO HOGAN GIDLEY,
DEPUTY WHITE HOUSE PRESS
SECRETARY.
HAVE YOU TALKED TO THE
PRESIDENT THIS MORNING, HOGAN?
>> I HAVE NOT TALKED TO THE
PRESIDENT YET THIS MORNING.
>> Sandra: WHAT ARE THE
EXPECTATIONS FOR TODAY AND THE
PRESIDENT'S DECLARATION OF A
NATIONAL EMERGENCY AND WHAT
HAPPENS IN THE SENATE?
>> LISTEN, THE PRESIDENT IS
LITERALLY USING POWERS GRANTED
BY CONGRESS TO ENFORCE LAWS
PASSED BY CONGRESS.
THIS IS WELL WITHIN HIS
CONSTITUTIONAL DUTY AND
CONGRESS IS STILL UNHAPPY FOR
SOME REASON.
MAKE NO MISTAKE, THIS VOTE
TODAY IF THEY OPPOSE THE
PRESIDENT, THEY STAND IN
OPPOSITION TO THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE, TO AMERICAN COMMUNITIES
AND SAFETY AND SECURITY,
BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THIS
MEASURE DOES.
FOR 40 YEARS CONGRESS HAS HAD
THE OPPORTUNITY TO FIX OUR LAWS
AND PROTECT OUR PEOPLE.
THEY HAVE NOT.
THE BORDER HAS GOTTEN WORSE.
DRUGS ARE POURING ACROSS AT
RECORD NUMBERS, THE
EXPLOITATION OF CHILDREN AND
WOMEN WHO ARE OFTEN RAPED AND
OFTEN ASSAULTED ON THAT
DANGEROUS JOURNEY NORTHWARD.
AND THE DEMOCRATS' ONLY
SOLUTION IS TO SAY OPEN BORDERS
FOR ALL.
IN FACT, WHAT THEY REALLY WANT
TO DO IS LEGALIZE ILLEGAL
IMMIGRATION.
IT MAKES NO SENSE AND THIS VOTE
TODAY DRAWS A CLEAR LINE IN THE
SAND OF WHICH PARTY AND WHICH
PRESIDENT ACTUALLY STANDS FOR
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND THOSE
WHO STAND FOR THOSE WHO ARE
HERE ILLEGALLY AND UNLAWFULLY.
>> Bill: IF IT PASSES THERE
COULD BE SEVERAL REPUBLICANS,
HALF A DOZEN WHO VOTE WITH THEM.
WILL THE PRESIDENT VETO THAT,
YES OR NO?
>> HE HAS SAID MANY TIMES HE
WOULD.
WE EXPECT HIM TO DO THAT.
>> Bill: HAVE YOU HAD
CONVERSATIONS WITH REPUBLICANS
WHO HAVE NOTED THEY'LL VOTE YES
WHICH WOULD BE A REBUKE TO THE
WHITE HOUSE AFND THE
COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF?
>> THERE ARE SEVERAL AT THE
WHITE HOUSE WHO HAVE
CONVERSATIONS WITH THOSE ON THE
HILL.
THE PRESIDENT HAS ENGAGED A
LITTLE BIT WITH SOME OF THOSE
WHO HAVE EXPRESSED SOME CONCERN.
LISTEN, THIS IS SOMETHING
CLEARLY OUTLINED IN THE
CONSTITUTION THAT OTHER
PRESIDENTS HAVE USED 58 TIMES.
THE ONLY REASON THEY DON'T WANT
TO GIVE HIM THE AUTHORITY IS
BECAUSE IT'S DONALD TRUMP
HIMSELF.
THE FACT IS HE CAN DO THIS, HE
SHOULD DO THIS, THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE NEED IT AND DESERVE IT.
THERE WILL BE A FEW DEFECTIONS.
I UNDERSTAND PEOPLE GUN SHY
CONSIDERING WHAT OBAMA DID, HE
USED HIS OFFICE TO TRY TO
CREATE NEW LAWS.
THE PRESIDENT IS TRYING TO USE
HIS OFFICE TO ENFORCE THE LAW.
THAT IS WHAT HE IS SUPPOSED TO
DO.
>> Sandra: THE BEAUTIFUL SCENE
BEHIND YOU IS IN PREPARATION TO
WELCOME THE PRIME MINISTER OF
IRELAND.
>> Bill: YES, IT LOOKS LIKE THE
COLOR GUARD IS AMAZING AND
DOING A GREAT JOB SETTING UP
FOR THAT LATER IN THE DAY.
>> Sandra: STICKING WITH THE
SUBJECT.
WE KNOW WHAT THE PRESIDENT HAS
SAID THIS MORNING ON TWITTER.
HE SAID THIS, A BIG NATIONAL
EMERGENCY VOTE TODAY BY THE
UNITED STATES SENATE ON BORDER
SECURITY AND THE WALL WHICH IS
ALREADY UNDER MAJOR
CONSTRUCTION.
I AM PREPARED TO VETO IF
NECESSARY.
THE SOUTHERN BORDER IS A
NATIONAL SECURITY AND
HUMANITARIAN NIGHTMARE.
IT CAN BE EASILY FIXED.
HAS THE PRESIDENT BEEN REACHING
OUT TO MEMBERS OF HIS OWN PARTY
THIS MORNING ON THIS?
>> I'M NOT AWARE OF ANY CALLS
HE HAS MADE THIS MORNING.
OUR TEAMS ARE IN CONSTANT
COMMUNICATION AT THE STAFF
LEVEL AND WITH THOSE WHO PLAN
TO CAST THIS VOTE TODAY.
THE FACT IS WE KNOW WHAT'S AT
STAKE HERE, THE SAFETY AND
SECURITY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
LIVES ARE AT RISK.
WE SEE NEEDLESS DEATHS EVERY
YEAR, SENSELESS DEATHS EVERY
YEAR AND QUITE FRANKLY DEATHS
THAT ARE 100% PREVENTABLE.
ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS SECURE OUR
BORDERS.
WE'VE SEEN SO MUCH HEARTACHE
AND SO MUCH HURT AND PAIN
ACROSS THIS COUNTRY BY PEOPLE
WHO COME TO THIS COUNTRY
ILLEGALLY.
LET'S NOT PRETEND FOR ONE
SECOND THIS COUNTRY ISN'T THE
MOST GENEROUS ON THE GLOBE AS
IT RELATES TO IMMIGRATION.
WE ALLOW 1.1 MILLION PEOPLE TO
COME TO THIS COUNTRY THE RIGHT
WAY.
WE CAN'T BE RESPONSIBLE FOR
THOSE WHO COME HERE ILLEGALLY
AND NOW THE DEMOCRATS ARE THE
PARTY OF OPEN BORDERS AND THEY
HAVE TO OWN THAT.
>> Bill: LISA PAGE IT APPEARS
HOUSE REPUBLICANS HAVE GOTTEN
HER TO ADMIT THAT THE
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE TOLD THEM
TO SHUT DOWN THE INVESTIGATION
OF HILLARY CLINTON'S EMAILS.
WHAT HAS THE PRESIDENT TOLD YOU
ABOUT THAT?
>> IT'S INCREDIBLE.
ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF WHAT THE
PRESIDENT HAS BEEN SAYING ALL
ALONG AND MORE PROOF THAT HE
HAS BEEN CORRECT THE ENTIRE
TIME.
HE HAS SAID THAT THIS IS A HOAX.
IT IS A WITCH HUNT AND
FABRICATED AT SOME OF THE
HIGHEST LEVELS NOW THE PROOF
COMES OUT.
AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF THE
DOJ AND F.B.I. THEY WORKED
AGAINST DONALD TRUMP AND FOR
HILLARY CLINTON.
WE EXPECT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
TO BE OUTRAGED BY THIS BECAUSE
WHEN YOU CAN WEAPONIZE THE
LARGEST LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY
IN THE COUNTRY AGAINST AN
AMERICAN CITIZEN, EVERYONE
SHOULD BE OUTRAGED AND EVERYONE
SHOULD BE DEEPLY CONCERNED BY
THAT.
THIS PRESIDENT HAS BEEN CLEAR
ABOUT WHAT HAS HAPPENED AND NOW
EVERY PIECE OF EVIDENCE THAT
COMES OUT PROVES IT FURTHERMORE
THAT HE WAS RIGHT.
>> Sandra: THERE IS A COUPLE
BIG THINGS HAPPENING THIS
MORNING ALSO INCLUDING ROGER
STONE APPEARING IN COURT.
WE SAW HIM ARRIVE EARLIER.
THIS IS FORMER TRUMP ASSOCIATE.
HE IS GOING BEFORE THE SAME
JUDGE AS PAUL MANAFORT
YESTERDAY WHERE HE RECEIVED AN
ADDITIONAL PRISON SENTENCE,
ROGER STONE ENTERING THE COURT.
WHAT IS THE PRESIDENT SAYING
ABOUT THIS?
>> NOTHING.
WE'VE HAD A LOT OF
CONVERSATIONS IN THE LAST FEW
DAYS AND I HAVEN'T HEARD HIM
MENTION ROGER STONE ONE TIME.
THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE
PRESIDENT.
ANOTHER ATTEMPT BY THE LEFT AND
MANY IN THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA TO
TETHER DONALD TRUMP TO SOMEONE
WHO HAS DONE SOMETHING WRONG ON
THEIR OWN TIME WITH NO
CONNECTION TO DONALD TRUMP.
THE PRESIDENT HAS DONE NOTHING
WRONG BUT TRYING TO LINK THESE
TWO TOGETHER IS RIDICULOUS.
>> THE TRIAL DATE IS NOVEMBER
5th TO BEGIN IS WHAT WE
EXPECTED IN THE FALL.
DO YOU HAVE ANY HUNCH THAT THE
MUELLER REPORT IS ABOUT TO BE
MADE PUBLIC?
>> I DO NOT AND I WOULD NOT.
WE'VE BEEN 100% COOPERATIVE
WITH THAT INVESTIGATION.
GIVEN OVER MILLIONS OF PIECES
OF PAPER, COUNTLESS HOURS IN
COOPERATION.
BUT WE EXPECT WHAT HAPPENS WITH
THE RESULT IS THE SAME THING
THE PRESIDENT HAS SAID.
THIS IS A WITCH HUNT, A HOAX.
THE PROOF AND THE RESULT WILL
ACTUALLY BEAR THAT OUT.
AND LOOK, YOU CAN TELL WHAT'S
GOING ON ON CAPITOL HILL.
CHECK WITH THE DEMOCRATS.
THEY ARE TERRIFIED THIS TWO
YEAR HOAX IS ABOUT TO COME TO
BEAR AND PROVE THEM TO BE
COMPLETELY RADICAL, COMPLETELY
WRONG AND SHOW THAT DONALD
TRUMP DID NOTHING WRONG.
ALL HE IS DOING NOW IS COMING
TO THIS WHITE HOUSE AND
RIGHTING ALL THE WRONGS,
CORRECTING ALL THE ILLS OF THE
PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION.
BLOWING UP OUR ECONOMY TO MAKE
IT BEST IN THE WORLD.
FIXING UNEMPLOYMENT FOR ALL
GROUPS, WOMEN,
AFRICAN-AMERICANS, HISPANIC
AMERICANS AND THEY DON'T LIKE
IT AND NOW THEY'RE
UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY COULD
HAVE BEEN TAKEN IN BY THE WHOLE
HOAX THEMSELVES AND THEY WILL
BE MADE TO LOOK QUITE FOOLISH
AT THE END OF THIS.
>> Sandra: HOW IS THE PRESIDENT
PREPARING FOR THE RELEASE OF
THAT?
>> LOOK, WE'RE NOT REALLY
PREPARING FOR IT PER SE BECAUSE
THE EXONERATION WE EXPECT IS
FORTHCOMING.
THE PRESIDENT HAS DONE NOTHING
WRONG.
HE SAID IT MANY TIMES.
WE EXPECT THAT WHEN MR. MUELLER
DOES PUT HIS REPORT OUT, THAT
IT WILL PROVE EVERYTHING THE
PRESIDENT SAID.
JUST LIKE THE EVIDENCE IS
SOMETHING NOW.
>> Bill: SPECULATION WAS THAT
THE MANAFORT CASE -- ANDREW
WEISSMANN A TOP PROSECUTOR IS
GOING BACK TO NYU.
THE SPECULATION WAS THAT ONCE
THAT HAPPENS THE PIECES ARE
LINING UP FOR MUELLER TO REACH
HIS CONCLUSION.
DO YOU BUY INTO THAT?
OR ANY INSIGHT TO ADD TO THAT?
>> I'VE HAD SO MANY REPORTERS
COME TO MY OFFICE THAT IT WILL
BE THIS DAY AND SOMEONE ELSE
SAYS WE KNOW IT WILL BE THIS
DAY.
WE DON'T KNOW.
WE EXPECT IT TO COME OUT
WHENEVER IT'S COMPLETED.
WHEN IT IS, WE EXPECT THE
RESULT TO BE EXACTLY WHAT WE'VE
TOLD THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
THE PRESIDENT HAS DONE NOTHING
WRONG AND WE EXPECT HIS
EXONERATION TO BE FORTHCOMING
AND THE DEMOCRATS TO BE MADE TO
LOOK QUITE FOOLISH AND QUITE
FRANKLY RIDICULOUS FOR
PERPETRATING A LIE ON THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE FOR THIS WRONG.
>> Sandra: RIGHT NOW THE HOUSE
IS VOTING ON THIS NON-BINDING
RESOLUTION TO PUBLICIZE THE
MUELLER REPORT.
DOES THE PRESIDENT THINK THIS
REPORT SHOULD BE MADE PUBLIC?
>> I HAVEN'T SPOKEN WITH HIM
ABOUT THAT.
I SURE WISH THE HOUSE WOULD
VOTE ON A RESOLUTION OR THE
BILLS PUT FORTH BY REPUBLICANS
THAT WOULD ACTUALLY PROTECT
CHILDREN WHO HAVE BEEN BORN
FROM ABORTIONS AFTER THEY'VE
BEEN REMOVED FROM THE MOTHER'S
WOMB.
I WISH THEY WOULD TAKE TIME TO
STAND UP FOR LIFE AT ALL PHASES
AS OPPOSED TO FOCUSING ON A
PHONY WITCH HUNT.
DEMOCRATS SAID THEY WANTED TO
WORK WITH THE PRESIDENT AND GET
THINGS DONE FOR INFRASTRUCTURE
AND HEALTHCARE.
INSTEAD THEY ARE MOVING ON ALL
THESE RADICAL IDEAS.
FOCUS ON LIFE AND MOVING THE
COUNTRY FORWARD IN THE FUTURE
AND THAT'S HOW WE SUCCEED AS A
NATION TOGETHER.
>> Bill: BETO O'ROURKE.
>> IT'S ROBERT FRANCIS.
THE HATCH ACT LOOMS.
I CAN'T TALK MUCH ABOUT THE
ELECTION.
THE PRESIDENT STANDS FOR THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE.
NOW DEMOCRATS AT LARGE HAVE TO
ANSWER FOR THEIR NEW SET OF
POLICIES WHICH IS MAKING
AMERICAN SOCIALIST, STANDING
FOR PEOPLE -- THOSE WHO ARE
BORN AND KILLED OUTSIDE THE
WOMB.
THEY WANT THAT TO BE THE NORM.
AND THEY STAND FOR A GREEN NEW
DEAL THAT WOULD ABSOLUTELY
DESTROY THIS ECONOMY, RUIN
PEOPLE IN POVERTY ACROSS THE
WORLD WHO RELY ON FOSSIL FUELS
AND WOULD DESTROY AMERICAN
LIVES BY MAKING --
>> Bill: JUST TO FOLLOW ON THAT
YOU ANSWERED THAT QUESTION BY
CALLING HIM ROBERT FRANCIS.
IS THAT HOW THE PRESIDENT WILL
REFER TO HIM?
>> HE HAS CALLED HIM THAT
BEFORE.
THAT'S HIS NAME.
WHY WOULDN'T HE?
>> Sandra: JUST GETTING
SOMETHING IN MY EAR THERE.
THIS IS A BIG DAY FOR THE
PRESIDENT AWAITING THE PRIME
MINISTER OF IRELAND THERE
BEHIND YOU.
WE SAW THE PREPARATIONS IN
PLACE.
HOW IS THE DAY SHAPING UP FOR
THE PRESIDENT?
HE HAS BEEN TWEETING A BIT THIS
MORNING.
THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF CHANGES.
WE HAVE A LOT OF COURT
APPEARANCES, ROGER STONE, PAUL
MANAFORT YESTERDAY.
A BUSY WEEK, HOGAN.
WHAT IS THE PRESIDENT'S PLAN?
>> I'M SURE HE WILL TALK TO
REPORTERS TODAY.
THERE WILL BE A POOL SPRAY IN
THE OVAL OFFICE WITH THE PRIME
MINISTER OF IRELAND AND THE
PRESIDENT IS THE MOST
ACCESSIBLE PRESIDENT IN HISTORY
TAKING QUESTIONS PRETTY MUCH
SEVERAL DAYS A WEEK WHETHER
IT'S ON THE WAY TO MARINE ONE,
IN THE OVAL OFFICE AND HE WILL
ADDRESS THE TOPICS TODAY.
NOT AFRAID OF ANYBODY.
HIS MESSAGE IS STRONG AND
YOU'LL SEE THAT TODAY.
>> Bill: ON BOEING, HOW LONG
WILL THE ORDER LAST?
>> NOTHING TO ADD.
THE PRESIDENT HAD A GOOD
CONVERSATION WITH THE ACTING
FAA ADMINISTRATOR AND THE
SECRETARY ON THE MATTER.
NEW DATA AND INFORMATION CAME
TO LIGHT AND THE PRESIDENT MADE
THE DECISION OUT OF THE SAFETY
AND SECURITY AND PRECAUTIONARY
MEASURES FOR THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE LET'S GROUND THE PLANES
UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
THAT WHAT IS PARAMOUNT IS TO
MAKE SURE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
