Dietary choices are crucial to help manage blood sugar, president ial candidates are squaring off in las vegas. Mark meredith. But it can be difficult to find a balanced solution. Only eight of them at this moment have qualified for the try greattasting boost glucose control. Gilli next democratic round of gillian. With thousands of migrants the patented blend of protein, fat, and carbs held at the u. S. Mexico border, is part of a balanced formula debates, while they fight for a a group of 20 house dems made their way to el paso, texas to thats clinically shown to help manage blood sugar levels. Spot on the big stage. Some of the democrats are in fact, it provides 60 more protein investigate conditions at the zeroing in on president obamas facilities and some of the check than the leading diabetes nutrition shake policies as a way of going off points. Fox newss Garrett Tenney is and contains only 1 carb choice. Front runner joe biden. There covering this delegation joining us to discuss this is for a couple of days now. Enjoy the balanced nutrition of boost glucose control we hear that the delegation Democratic Campaign consultant as part of a healthy diet. Departed on a little bit after doug shone and and a republican sour note this morning . Yeah, they certainly did, s strategist. Thank you for being with us. Hope youre both well. Said it was a very informative the big take away out of the visit because they came here to debates this week seems to be, get a look at the impact of the Trump Administrations policy and the one they kept talking Democratic Candidates cant about was the return to mexico decide cant agree who public enemy crabfest is back at red lobster number one is, its president agreement. The in that agreement says that with 9 craveable crab creations. Obama or President Trump. I want you, both of you to take most Asylum Seekers will be sent from the new ultimate crabfest trio a listen and get your reaction back to mexico rather than being with three kinds of wildcaught crab released into the u. S. While to rahm emanuel who said this. They wait months or years for to the return of crab lovers dream there was also shots taken at that asylum claims to be grab your crab crew, hurry in or order it to go president barack obama, the most popular democrat in the country because joe biden was his vicepresident. A little . Process and the guy is 90some among processed. And 26,000 have been released lets cowboy up exhilarating speed. Democrats, the most successful, into mexico, the delegation said that the migrants are now living woo progressive. In unsafe and unlivable precision control. Prolific president. Doug, these are your people. Conditions due to the trump do they need to lay off woo president obama . Of course they do, gillian. Administrations war on maximum reliability. Access denied. Rahm emanuel was right. Immigrants. The migrant protection [ repeats ] access denied. The democrats who attacked him are moving towards what they protocol. If its not xfinity t good enough. Call progressivism, what i call it has been wrongly named. For wifi with super powers, get xfinity xfi. Socialism or democratic it should actually be called the socialism, which is ridiculous. And go see, fast furious presents, hobbs shaw. Look, i accept capitalistism, migrant deterrent protocol because thats the purpose of now playing. Most democrats accept this policy. Capitalism. Its not to protect migrants, we have a profit motive and we also have secure borders. But to deter migrants and we have an immigration system immigrants in general from and we do need to get rid of coming to the United States. That is wrong. Illegal criminal aliens which is what obama did. So im of the view that the leland the delegation did say that they saw a noticeable democrats who do this were wrong difference though if the housing now and wrong for the future. Facilities here in the u. S. Gillian all right. So david, i want to ask you your several that were filled beyond capacity just a few months ago are now nearly empty. People in this, they must love but a lot of those migrant who the democrats kind of eating each other and taking on president obama while theyre have been sent to mexico to be doing it, right . Well, certainly. Any of those democrats who want processed are now deciding to the former president s russia has not been in endorsement ought to be careful about trying to attack him to pack up and getting on buses compliance for many, many years going back to obama get the nomination, but gillian, rather than waiting in town that administration and maybe beyond that. Its about time that we were the delegation described i cant believe were not talking about the breaking news extremely dangerous because unburdened by the treaty and theyre run by cartels. In this field which is michael the delegation told me theyre pursue our own interests. Avenatti is back to 50 that he planning to file legislation defense secretary mark esper may get into the president ial when they get back after their august recess to get rid of the says the u. S. Wants to deploy race. Gillian i mean, doug, do you want to respond to that . Migration protection protocol, missiles to the pacific region, i think Michael Avenatti is but like any legislation thats within a matter of months after more likely to be in a federal passing the democratically the Trump Administration pulled controlled house theres not out of a treaty with russia, Penal Institution than in the white house, thats all ive got much of a high hope they have a to say about that. Shot of passing. Gillian gentlemen, i think inf. And where the missiles would be were going to need to take a a lot of hope there, garrett. Break. Theres a fire alarm test headed just yet, but he and mike distracting everyone at least pompeo are together in sydney here onset. Well check with you again later were going to thank you and next hour. Ahead of the annual meeting check back in with you on the leland with us california other side of this break, between u. S. Defense and foreign thanks. Congressman and who wasocrat ic leland i think were pretty sure theres not a fire, theres ministers. Undoubtedly this will be a feature of their conversation, a fire alarm. Gillian did i say a fire . Leland. Leland two new goldstar families are spending the no. Visiting the border. Weekend remembering and saying were going to break, stick with thanks for taking the time on a goodbye to their sons killed in us. Lets see, aleve is proven better on pain saturday. Afghanistan. And the president calls it a 20yearold private first class crisis and many have as well. Brandon kriesher and michael you listen to the political candidates in your party they say, hey, look, the answer to isai this is let anybody who wants to isaiah nance died in what they come on in, were going to called a combat related decriminalize ilLegal Immigration and whoever wants to incident. Thats 15 u. S. Soldiers that come here its a thing of love. Died this year. Is that how we solve this Trump Administration is now planning to reduce the number of problem . No. I mean, weve got to be a troops in the country after a country of rule of law and weve reported deal with the taliban. Got laws and if certainly we want to protect the border and here to talk more about this, im not advocating for open borders, but were also a strategist general jack keane, i compassionate country. Leland right. And you know, you see a think was in new york with a fire alarm going off behind him. Changing nature of the folks well let you deal with the fire coming up and we do have a alarm and come back to you a southern border crisis and you little bit later. And with that, were going to talked about Border Agents from move on to live pictures that 2018 to now the number of folks are coming out of baltimore, coming up is overwhelming and its a Different Group of folks. Maryland. And there is congressman elijah these are coming from Central American countries, honduras, el cummings. Hes been in the news lately you salvador, guatemala, might say. The president had a few choice unaccompanied minors and theyre words about him. Fleeing pretty bad conditions and no one disputes how bad the well check in with what the congressman has to say and his conditions are in those countries. Plans about what the president nobody disputes how the bad the is talking about in baltimore. Conditions are in many parts of the world, the United States is the one country that people will risk life and limb in order to make their way to. So what do you say to all the people who are in africa and book now and enjoy free unlimited open bar and more. Southeast asia, et cetera who norwegian cruise line. Feel free. Cant walk to the border. Theyre waiting in lines for visa and if they get here, not that, but to treat these folks in a compassionate manner. Leland what does compassionate mean . Just let them come on in as long as they want until any flimsy claim of asylum is somehow adjudicated . No, but see some of the kids, 12 years old. 14 years old. The fact that their parents are sending them all the way up here suggest how bad things are there. Leland right. Weve got to do our fair share. I get it as a parent myself. Leland ive heard compassion and fair share, what do those actually mean . The Trump Administration wants to go to zero refugees. Leland come on, thats not realistic. You know, theyre talking about it. Leland people are talking about a lot of things that have never been a serious policy proposal. Well, leland, i think we ought to take more than zero and we cant take everyone. So lets actually have a debate and what type of refugees should we be taking . There are a lot folks in the last decade and men coming here for work, you know, lets figure than tylenol extra strength. That out and you know, we need and last longer with fewer pills. Some of that labor as well. So why am i still thinking about this . We benefit from it, can we come we really pride ourselves on making it easy for you tech at safelite autoglass, up with a Legal Immigration to get your windshield fixed. Ill take aleve. Aleve. Proven better on pain. System that both accepts a with safelite, you can see exactly when well be there. Certain number of refugees, but saving you time thats ensure max protein, for what you love most. Employment here to help us with kids whoa with high protein and 1 gram sugar. Kids vo safelite repair, safelite replace its a situp, banana our economy. Bend at the waist leland even president obama im tryin keep it up. Said just having a bad economic youll get there. gasp whoahoahoa 30 grams of protein, condition isnt a reason for singsong budget meeting sweet. And one gram of sugar. Asylum. And during the president ial if you compare last quarter to this quarter. Various mmm. Ensure max protein. Debate, something near and dear its no wonder everything seems a little better to your heart, which is health with the creamy taste of philly, care. Well take a listen to some of made with fresh milk and real cream. We are back now with two of the president ial candidates. Throw your hands up. Why do we have to be the party of taking something away from our favorite political people. No, we should stop using panelists, weve got doug shone republicans talking points. If a mother and a child and gentlemen, thanks for walked thousands of miles, they are not criminals. Staying with us. Im not going to support any doug, you were trying to get a word in there when i rudely plan that rips away quality ended our segment. Health care from individuals. If you react to Something Else this plan thats being offered rahm emanuel said, were so by senator warren and senator angry at trump were letting it get the better of us. Sanders will tell them that theyre going to lose their really, isnt the first task of health care. Leland youre a doc. Every single candidate on the explain to me this, is the debate stage Going Forward to concept of socialized medicare define themselves in opposition to the president . For all going to work in the of course it is. United states or not . And i am disturbed that the its not. What i would do, look the majority of americans who have health care are pretty satisfied democrats and cnn played go much with their health care. What theyre worried about is cha through the whole debate, the cost of their care. Hitting one against the other theyre worried about the cost of prescription drugs. Rather than asking a fairly now, the president s talked simple set of questions. What are your policies and how about it. Leland quick because were up against a hard break and equal do you distinguish them from the current incumbent President Trump. I would have loved to have heard that. It may not have been as good time on the other side. And what you yourself call an television, but attack and unrealistic and unsustainable attacking president obama, which policy is that a risk for the now you can, with shipsticks. Com is complete insanity, only thing 2020 election . We all want to expand health worse, david, is bringing in no more lugging your clubs through the airport or risk Michael Avenatti, whos out of care. I dont think medicare for all and i dont think that getting his really, just out of his mind if he gets back in this race. Rid of private Health Insurance i think the democrats need to is the answer. We ought to build off an run on issues, gillian, not existing system. Leland we appreciate your time. Enjoy the rest of your resource. Impeachment or attacks on one i know you were working this week and hopefully you get a another. Gillian all right, david. Vacation and time with the what do you from your perspective on the family. Thanks, leland. Leland all the best to you and opposition here, Going Forward to the next round of debates in yours, gillian. Thank you. Kristin for republican perspective on this, bring in september, how many candidates georgia congressman, member of would President Trump and his the congressional committee, tom team like to have on that stage . Because everybodys talking about the democrats got to graves. Thanks for joining us. You heard senator berra on the whittle it down, whittle it down, whittle it down. Border crisis, he says compassion is the answer. Isnt it true your folks are what about rule of law . Hoping there are as many next youre absolutely right. Time as last time. Rule of law is the answer. The reality it should be look, congressman berra is a five. At this point no one has great person, unfortunately hes gotten republican or democratic squeezed between the socialist nomination when theyre polling at 1 . Of his party and mainstream its interesting though and kind of the core of this segment, america. We wants to do whats right and could president obama actually even the New York Times agrees get the nomination in todays its a crisis on the border, but a lot of what youre seeing in democratic primary given how far left and how far progressive the president ial debate and maybe Speaker Pelosi and others these candidates are . In the caucus, they just dont also, abc news will be doing a like the president. The president is proposing isnt he at 95 in terms of something that could be a solution, they absolutely have democratic polling now. To be against that. Kind of indicates he would. Based on his policies where were far past that. This could have been the summer the current candidates are, its of solutions unfortunately its in question. The summer of subpoenas. There are far more progressive than he was on the border. Far more progressive than he is i hope to get to this and see on National Security issues. What its about. Something that happened this theyre far more progressive week, your colleagues in the than he was on Health Care Senate Judiciary Committee had a issues and he was pretty bill sort of squeezed through progressive. But lets get to this next the process by senator lindsey debate, abc news will be doing a graham excuse me, senator mcconnell. Huge disservice if they dont and what do you say to the call out joe biden and pete critics who say your party is buttigieg whether they support impeachment or not, given thats focussed on unaccompanied he exactly where House Democrats minors and keeping children out are, and its where all the of the United States . Other frontrunners are, and yeah, there have been several democratic primary voters should know where are biden and where iterations of Solutions Offered are buttigieg on impeachment. By republicans and democrats. Gillian a fair question now, unfortunately, nobody can come together on an agreement. Over half the Democratic Caucus when i watched the president ial in the house is there. Debates its fascinating to see that the candidates today gentlemen, thank you for actually make barack obama look sticking with us. Like a conservative. When joe biden has to defend the absolutely, gillian. Gillian well check back with deportation, enforcement of law you soon. Under the obama administration, be sure to watch fox sunday its rather remarkable. So the party has come so far. Tomorrow, Chris Wallace talks to lindsey grm and others are proposing solutions. Democratic candidate pete i think he was part of the original gang of eight when they buttigieg. And check your channels for time were trying to bring forth and listing. And media buzz, the latest on Bipartisan Solutions years ago. I know efforts are true about you theres a general President Trumps baltimore comments and the democratic frustration right now within the republicans and democrats, both debates playing out in the in the house and senate when you media. Leland we appear to have the see innocent children and fire alarm situation resolved in families impacted by this crisis the studio where general jack an and the president is doing keane has been braving the fire everything we can, number one, alarm as well at least the to defend our nation. Sounds of it, amid this report National Security is number one priority and also provide after deal now with the taliban solutions and thankfully had a in afghanistan. Few this past week, saying he boy, general, i remember a time in American History when not only didnt america make deals with terrorists we didnt even negotiate with them. Can use money for a border wall well, thats a fact, but the and against the wishes of the most left democrats in the truth is we always negotiated house. With terrorists. I want to make sure we have that was the advertisement. Time to pick your brain on cyber leland fair point. Security. This is an issue, youve kind of i think the concerns many of taken up the mantle on. Us have here, its an open secret, you know, that president its turning out to be a Sticking Point in these trade trump has told his National Security team that he wants to get out of afghanistan, he would negotiations and some is calling like to do that before the 2020 this a trade war that President Trump is engaging in with china. Election. And therefore, when you have that kind of pressure on you, tell me why youre zeroing in on and youre starting to make a this issue . This probably is less about deal with the taliban, you dont trade when you talk about what want to make a deal based on at the president is doing with any cost and you want to make a trafrs and its more about deal based on a solid peace defending the American Worker agreement that lays out and ingenuity. China is taking advantage of our conditions to protect u. S. National interests and also the policies far too long and as interests of the afghan government. Leland you said make a deal, et relates to Cyber Security, its cetera. You said make a deal. A direct impact much what china why is there any reap reason in is doing to the American Work the world to believe that you could have a deal that the force and american industry and taliban is going to keep . Even to some of our own national i mean, one thing to try to have interests. We have to have new policy as a good deal with bad people, but relates to Cyber Security. We saw it with capital one this another thing to try to have a week, weve seen it with many deal with people who are sworn to kill all of you. Multinational companies well, i was trying to explain headquartered in the United States impacted by foreign and that, leland. The talibans condition, their rogue nations imperialists that number one condition they have put on the table is that the wish to cause harm. U. S. Must withdraw from and the act has not been afghanistan and thenwill protec updated, 20th century policy interests by making sure that with 21st problems today. The alqaeda and isis do not have a bona fide safe haven in sorry to interrupt. We hear a lot of diagnosis of afghanistan. Now, those of us who have been the problem coming from capitol hill, from lawmakers. We want to hear about the ot trust the taliban and we cannot accept a deal solutions. You talk about Cyber Security based on that condition. We have got to negotiate based hacks and data breaches, top on u. S. Interests and our interest is to make certain that american companies, what are the isis and alqaeda do not have a nuts and bolts of the plan . Safe haven in afghanistan. Lay it out for us. That is why we were there. The solution is simple. We should have a deterrent and and for 18 years, 18 years, those necessary for the private leland. Leland if we cant trust sector and individuals to defend 18 years we have guaranteed that there is no safe haven in their own networks. Afghanistan and theres no attack on the United States. So that means they have to do it outside of their networks, i thats what weve guaranteed. Have a piece of legislation that leland i understand that, but perhaps youre making the point or im not understanding it, but modernizes the fraud and abuse act. You can help outside of your how can you make a deal and negotiate with the taliban when networks, you can disrupt attacks outside of your network. You yourself just said you know you can monitor the activities you cant trust them . How do you have a deal with of a would thebe cyber attack people you cant trust . I dont think theres from outside of your network anything wrong with having amongst other things, but all negotiations. Theres nothing wrong with that. With guardrails and protections weve always negotiated with our that protect against private enemies at the end of war and privacy as well as any harm or damage that might be caused to the fact general, i have to get to a anyone or any system financially or personally, and also, fox news alert. Elijah cummings talking about including the fbis cyber team the president and his twitter as well within this whole spat with him. And im not going to go network. But its important that we be aggressive on this front. There. The president told help, is we cannot be in a passive environment and everybody is doing everything they can today, but its in passive environment. That in the form of money or we need to be actively defending what would that look like . Our network and we need to do it the president is welcome in outside of our network. Our district to go through the it sounds like youre starting with concrete steps there. Its something we want to talk district and he will see strong to you more about and get you back in the future. Peop congressman graves, thanks so much. People, who get up and they go leland. Leland well, 19 of the 23 out to work early remaining democratic president ial candidates are in the morning theyre standing on las vegas today. The bus stop. Theyre out stumping at the and sometimes i see them at night when i get back. Public Service Workers forum youll see people, see held by the nations largest organizations that have come to Public Workers union. And clauda cowan is there as the inner city of baltimore, they take the stage. Like neighborhoods hi, claudia. Hi, leland. And do not go around thats right, this labor union form rupp is just getting criticizin underway. Form hud secretary Julian Castro criticizing is taking the stage. So i welcome the president , love to see him. The first of 19 democrat the people of baltimore candidates who descended on i want to them to know legislation and hoping to win the jackpot with an enforcement all they have to do is read the from one of the biggest unions pap in the country. Some candidates, elizabeth paper warren, had a town hall meet and inaudible and the incidents like this greet. And this headline is from the american state, counties and municipal employees. Its a big deal. Candidates are appearing one at a time and members want their because it gets people, brings light to their lives. Take on a variety of issues. But you know, im i have so the union counts 1. 6 million much to do. People among its members and i dont thinking about it their support would be critical, especially for lesser own this morning, congress, i think candidates like montana governor. As a former labor lawyer, i i have understand many of the challenges that they have, but more than that, like, look in im in this community and other this big field im the only one communities like this trying to that won in trump state. Create opportunity for our young he wok people because i know, i came up in environments just like this and if i can be Phi Beta Kappa the democrats presented an array of visions from student and become a member of the maryland bar, inaudible . Debt and a big issue is health care with Bernie Sanders and liz bit warren pushing medicare for im sorry . Why do you think the you will. And joe biden saying that president i have no clue, you have to ask him. Instead of criticizing how workers bargained hard for benefits they will he a want can they help . Bring resources theyll want to keep. For lesserknown candidates you need to read the paper, ive this is an opportunity for them got to give it to them they show to boost their poll numbers and win more donors so they can where baltimore is not getting qualify for the third round of all the money claims were getting and that a huge debates next month in houston. Leland, so far, only eight percentage, i mean, i think its candidates qualified for their debate out weve got 8 million, 8 billion over three years and three and a half goes to our hospitals and then when you see the breakdown, i beg you to go and read, okay, what we have done in the city and while youre here tour the city. You need to go. Almost anywhere you go anywhere near here, including downtown is my district. And so we work with our Business People and they work with us. The university of maryland have been phenomenal and so, again, im meeting people every day, young people who came up in difficult and challenging circumstancesthere doing great and i tell you it feeds my soul. This is what feeds my for my mother used to say you concentrate on the things that are most important to you and these kinds of things are most important to me. Sir, half House Democrats say its time for impeachment. Is it time for an inquiry or a a very good question. You know, ive said first of all im very clued in to what is going on with regards to impeachment. And i agree with nancy pelosi. You have to keep in mind that i am one of the investigating investigating the so i think her course is the proper one. We are doing our research. We are trying to do our jobs, and there may very well become a time when i am impeachment is appropriate. Ive said many times, one of the lines to me would be when th so well see. Do you think your committee is im sorry . Did your committees work ignite the president s criticism . What do you mean . Your hearing with i dont know, i dont know. Thats another great question. I do not know, but by the way, to the last question, you know, a lot of people question may question ordecision. Remember, im not i havent im trying to be fair to him, too. I want to be fair. And thats why we need to do our research and you know, and thats the way it is. One of the things that i want is to preserve our democracy. Im worried that democracy that we have will not be if we do not do something and well do it. And well do what we have to do to address these issues, but im not doing this for myself. As old, a black man in america, im doing to for generations in future. I say our children is the living messengers we send to a future we will never see. I want to send them strong, bright, bold, and full of hope. So, i think, you know, when i hear criticism about by anybody about my city, i think what we have people who are stepping on the hope of our children. If i had i dont know what i would have done if id had people in high places when i was a little boy telling me what i couldnt do. Instead i had people telling me what i could do and the other thing, when somebody asked a question what do i want to say to the community, to the Baltimore Community . I want to thank you. I want to thank you john hopkins of the world. I want to thank the under amour programs of the year, they do programs like a weekly basis, the foundations and people who have helped us to make sure that our children grow up to be all that they can be. All right . Thats it. Thank you. All right. I hope you have congressman cummings in baltimore talking to the media not only of the condition of his city, but also a little bit in light of his spat with President Trump, and it was President Trump who began a twitter war with congressman cummings just about a week ago this morning, that escalated and then escalated and then escalated and now comes the issue about the congressman talking about the possibility of some type of revitalization of baltimore and really what its done is shine a city on the city of baltimore, a city even 20 years ago, Elijah Cummings talked in congress about the being drug infested. A city thats not enormous problems there not just since the freddie gray riot as well as, but systemic issues there. But now out of this fight and feud, is there the potential for some kind of bipartisanship between Elijah Cummings whos got the ear of a very close friend of the president in congress and the president to do something about the inner cities that the president says he wants to do so much about . We heard a very fullthroated defense of the city, of its people from cummings there, but also a Strong Defense of his own work in the city. He said he served for 23 years and its work he says thats been feeding his soul and hes going to keep on keeping on. Hes saying essentially hes not letting any of this to deter him and we kind of expected it. Leland and it continues and well go back to the tape and see if it comes up and keep an eye on the president s twitter account. Well keep an eye on that for you guys. And a veteran is taking over as the governor of puerto rico. And one is challenging his opponent even though hes already been sworn in. Jacqui heinrich hags the latest scoop on whats happening on the island. Tell us whats going on . Gillian, outgoing Governor Ricardo Rossello has left office and the man who appointeds governorship could be as short as one week they have not ratified pierre and the secretary stepped down from the same scandal as rossello. Want the job. An embattled governor rossello, vasquez has been a target herself. Now the senate to set to take up the issue on wednesday. He iss promised if the senate doesnt vote him in he will immediately resign. Youre going to work without stopping to answer to the people of puerto rico so that the people of puerto rico feel safe ap i told them that they can be. The people of puerto rico can be calm because they are in good hands. San juan mayor cruz says that she is challenge his swearing in and yesterday the Trump Administration announced its putting new restrictions on the flow of Disaster Recovery aid, a major cause of how the protests began that ultimately forced rossellos resignation.

The president talking about his trade dispute with china today and said things are going very well and that tariff threats are going to help other countries make better deals with the united for that point. Welcome to americas news headquarters from washington, im leland vittert. Jim jill im gillian critics say consumers at home would have to pay the price once these tariffs go into meredith n heights, new jersey, covering the president this weekend. Mark, tell us the latest. Reporter hey there, gillian. The president s been defending the possibility of imposing these tariffs. Hes been doing it on twitter this weekend saying this is all about making sure the u. S. Gets a fair trade deal. One of the president s betweens from this morning things are going well with china, they are paying tens of millions of dollars and pumping in massive amounts of cash to keep our system going. So far our consumer is paying nothing and no inflation, no help from fed. The chinese are threatening to retaliate if these tariffs do go into effect in september. The head of the American Apparel and Footwear Association put out a statement saying, quote tariffs are taxes on american consumers. The president s decision to proceed with adding these additional costs is truly shocking. But the president says people should be outraged at china and past president s, not the trump white house. We have been treated so badly, and i dont blame china, i blame our past leaders, our past president s, our past trade representatives. Theyve done a terrible job. Reporter but this weekend some democrats are criticizing President Trump for his job performance, specifically the vetting that went in for the nomination for the director of national intelligence. The president had tapped texas congressman John Ratcliffe for that position, but ratcliffe withdrew from consideration friday after lawmakers began questioning his qualifications and his past. Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer put out a statement writing, quote representative ratcliffe should never have been considered in the first place. This is part of a pattern of President Trump, nomination on a whim without consultation or vetting and then forced withdrawal when mess ensues. The president says even with ratcliffe not going for the position anymore, that there are several other candidates up for consideration, and he says a decision at least one that can be announced may happen as early as monday. Gillian mark if, i believe the president teased folks from the news media yesterday out on the White House South Lawn when he said i have three names, theyre right here in my pocket but, no, im not going to show them to you. Thanks for giving us the latest. Leland more on that issue in a few minutes. Meantime, the stock market reacted to President Trumps tariff threat closing friday with its worst week in months. This despite a strong july jobs report. Here is the numbers. The dow down about 100 points. The s p 500 down 21. Nasdaq down 107. And with that, we bring in president and ceo of the jobs creators network, alfredo ortiz. Good to see you. Good afternoon. Leland boy, investors say if you want proof of tow important and how, frankly, wild this trade war is or potential of the trade war is, just think about it. The president gets his rate cut on wednesday, good jobs numbers, and still the market tanks. Yeah, you know, theres obviously sensitivity on the trade side leland you think . [laughter] bigtime. But when you look at actually whats happening especially with a lot of our Small Business manufacturers, one for example that i talk to all the time has a Small Manufacturing Company in wakanda, illinois. When she talks about how she needs to compete against folks like manufacturers in china, she competes on quality. She cant compete necessarily on price because china is subsidizing a lot of these in unfair trade practices leland yeah, i know a lot of Small Business owners though who are just getting hammered by the tariffs because of the inputs. We have this tweet from President Trump that the chinese are paying tens of billions of dollars. I dont quite know an economist who tells the truth who agrees with the president on that, because its not the chinese that are paying the tens of billions of dollars in tariffs. Its u. S. Companies. Its the same Small Companies you talk about. Yeah, but, leland, when you look at inflation, were still even below the core 2 target rate on inflation leland i wasnt talking about inflation. I was talking about the fact that youre saying Small Businesses arent being hurt by these tariffs, and that doesnt appear to be the case. I just dont think it can be a broad statement that all Small Businesses or even Large Businesses are being hurt. Productivity gains on the other side leland oh, come on. Large businesses arent being hurt by these tariffs . I dont leland caterpillar isnt being hurt by these tariffs . I dont think we can make that general statement. Why the president is doing this, right, we are trying to level the playing field. Thats what the president s been trying to do leland youre mixing the arguments here though, my friend. You can make the argument that, look, the tariffs and the pain that the tariffs are causing are worse because youre trying to level the playing field, but i think its a non seq. Non sequil ignore the real estate that its causing a lot of businesses real pain. When you look at the longer term gain, the president leland so youre saying, youre changing your argument to say the pain is worth it. Well, there is some level of pain, but i would actually of an economy that had been completely off kilter with the Chinese Government subsidizing a lot of the manufacturers that are competing against our Small Businesses, making it much harder really for us to open up the chinese economy which could be worth billions and billions of dollars to our Small Businesses. Especially you talk about intellectual property from that leland im, im confused on the art about how this didnt, this doesnt hurt a number of u. S. Businesses. But as we get to this issue, and you make the point and the president s supporters do often, that the economy is just great. Just look at the numbers; low unemployment right. Leland the market has been on a tear even with this downturn, i mean, up 50 since the president s election. Yet still there are a lot of democrats who say theyre going to run on the issue of the economy and how American Workers feel. Take a listen to debbie dingell, a quite reasonable, moderate democrat from michigan. How many plants have closed just even in the past six months . Theyre worried. So i want policies that are going to help my workers feel safe. Leland she got a point there, that theres a lot of americans who dont feel all that secure and dont feel part of this economic boom . I mean, those americans that actually feel that are really probably just listening to a lot of the rhetoric thats coming from the democratic leland so you dont think theres americans who feel economicallying uncertain right now . You know, when you look at overall the numbers, leland, record low unemployment across the board, 50year low, record low i unemployment for hispanics, for blacks u for africanamericans, for women, disabled veterans. I mean, across leland you dont think theres a little bit of hubris to deny there are a lot of American Workers in their 40s and 50s in michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania and other places who feel Economic Uncertainty . Is. When you look at the whole fight for 15, for example, minimum wage that just happened, lets put that in context. You have about 224,000 workers, for example, hourly workers 25 and over leland im confused how thats an answer to question. Let me finish. Outside of the work force about 82 million people. This is the group that people talk about is disadvantaged. Were talking. 2 of the hourly work force. The reason why theyre disadvantaged is not because, for example, the economy leland, alfredo, i went to London School of economics, and im still confused. We appreciate it, unfortunately, we dont have time to continue the conversation, well turn it over to gillian. All right. Gillian as the trade war between the u. S. And china is heating up, growing concerns about chinese attacks in espionage in cyberspace against the United States. Lets bring in president and ceo of the center for Security Policy and former chief of staff of the natio council fred fleitz. Fred, were going to pick your brain on cyber, but first, wed be remiss if we didnt ask you about the dni spot. The president announced John Ratcliffe is stepping down, taking himself out of the running. Our sources here are telling fox news theres a whole host of names, the president s going back to drawing board, looking at some folks hes been thinking about for months, maybe joe dunford, were hearing youre a contender. Tell us what you think about the role. By way of full disclosure, i have been in consideration for this job. I think the leading candidate is probably pete hoekstra, the former chairman of the house intelligence committee. Hes a good friend of mine, he would be a fabulous choice. He understands how to work with congress, understands the Intelligence Community, and he has my vote. Gillian would you be a fabulous choice . Well, well see. If i was asked, im available to serve. I was just privileged to have been asked by the president , so well see what happens. Gillian tell us for folks who dont know much about this position, its a very senior, if not the most Senior Intelligence position in the government, but it flies mostly under the radar. Tell us a little bit about what the dni does. Well, you know, its sort of an unknown position, and it is a controversial one. It was created because the perception by the 9 11 commission that if the intelligence agencies had shared information, they may have stopped 9 11. So the dni was set up to coordinate the sharing of information. The dni is also the president s chief intelligence adviser, and its his responsibility to make sure the president gets the most accurate and nonpartisan and unbiased intelligence possible. He is to make sure the Intelligence Community speaks truth to power. Gillian hes like the ground truth guy. Hes the guy thats got to give the president or she the bottom line about what intelligence analysts all over the globe are reporting back home . Hes supposed to say, supposed to make sure they get the most accurate intelligence. The problem is the office of the dni has exploded in size since it was created. It has become a 17th Intelligence Agency with thousands of employees, with a huge headquarters in virginia, and theres all kinds of bureaucrats and officials. It wasnt supposed to be another 17th Intelligence Agency. Thats why there are bipartisan concerns about how large it is. And i know this is a concern of the president and of this administration to try to streamline the office of the dni so it will be more effective. Illinois jill occasionally we hear murmurs about, you know, President Trump wants to do away with the position entirely. Is that something you could get behind . Well, i mean, thats not practical because the dni was created by legislation, but i think a lot could be done to streamline it and get rid of duplication and figure out what was it intended to do. It was supposed to share intelligence, be the president s chief intelligence advisor. But all these new bureaucracies set up within the dni, you know, if intelligence is bure racktizedded, it affects our National Security. We cant get stuff done. Its very important this be fixed. Gillian one of the issues we hear from our Security Experts here all the time in terms of issues that are impacted by bureaucratic intelligencemaking is cybersecurity. Its probably, you know, a top tier issue for whoever the next dni is. Can you tell us your sort of, what you would worry about most on day one, dealing with the Cyber Threats . Its crucial that protecting the integrity of our elections is a priority of the dni, and the Trump Administrations done a lot on this. The president issued an executive order last september. Ambassador bolton said in november that weve been engaged in overt, offensive Cyber Attacks gillian Cyber Strategy he rolled out. To defend our elections. My concern is the next dni has to deal with an intelligence probably was weaponized during the 2016 president ial campaign to stop President Trump from winning. And i think that there have to be procedures to insure this never happens again. Gillian do you feel like thats the number one issue on the table right now . I think thats an important issue for the president. Whether you think this happened or not, there have to be very strong rules that whenever it becomes necessary for the nsa to spy on the personnel of a president ial campaign, theres a very high threshold to do that. Congress has to be notified. And if Intelligence Officers are asked to do something unethical, such as doing that, they better report that to gillian i mean, that takes a lot of time and energy. Im not saying its not important, but is there time to look backwards when 2020 is so fast approaching . Wouldnt you be more concerned about safeguarding future elections . We have to do both. We definitely have to protect the integrity of our election but, look, there are millions of americans who think that our Intelligence Community was used against the trump campaign. We need rules in place to make sure that never happens again to another president ial candidate. We need to tell the existing democratic president ial candidates youre not going to be spied on by the u. S. Intelligence community. I think we really have to make sure of that. Gillian fred, thanks for joining us today, thanks for weighing in on all of this. Well check back in with you soon. Coming up next, hundreds of migrants are being held at the u. S. mexican border. A group of Congressional Democrats have taken a trip down to el paso, texas, to investigate conditions there. Garrett tenney is with the delegation, hes been covering them all week. Garrett, tell us the latest. Reporter well, gillian, you mentioned last hour that this trip ended on a bit of a sour note, one lawmaker told us he was extremely ticked off after their last stop of the trip, an i. C. E. Detention facility. The delegation tells us i. C. E. Officials at the facility prevented them from meeting privately with any of the detainees to hear about their treatment at the facility including who men who were on a Hunger Strike after being in custody for more than a year and whose attorneys gave written permission for the delegation to meet with them. And so the one thing i can say with confidence, the one thing we can say with confidence about conditions in this facility is that we can say nothing with confidence about conditions in this facility. We were not provided the access that is required to be able to evaluate that. Reporter the director of i. C. E. Tells fox news the delegation had nearly 30 people in the group and he said, quote, we could not safely accommodate interviews for large groups especially with such short notice requested in order to obtain all privacy and legal approvals necessary. The delegation also toured several cbp facilities during their trip and said they saw none of the overcrowding that was an issue just a few months ago. In fact, several, they said, were nearly empty. That is because, according to them, the Trump Administrations return to mexico policy is having an impact. So now any person who comes to the u. S. Seeking asylum crossing the border whether its t through a legal port of entry like this or somewhere else along the border, most of them are now being sent back to mexico to wait months or years for that claim to be processed. And the delegation said that that is having a significant impact. 26,000 people have been sent back to mexico as part of that policy, and now many of them are deciding not to stick around and wait all of that time. Theyre packing their bags and heading back home. Translator well, i walked to the United States but, no, they sent us back here to mexico with no hope, with no place to stay but, rather, out here on the street. They just sent us to bus station, and that was it. Well go to honduras because the problem is that theres no chance. Theyre lying to many people, telling them that there will be an opportunity, and we need money to make ends meet here. Reporter this crisis on the border likely not going to be over anytime soon, at least from a congressional standpoint. Several democratic lawmakers told me there is almost no chance of congress tackling the loopholes in our immigration system before the next election, meaning this crisis more than 100,000 people crossing the border each of the last four months now is going to continue for at least another year and a half if not more. Gillian . Gillian garrett, thanks for that. Were going to go now to a fox news alert. Were getting word of an active shooter situation in el paso, texas. Residents are being warned to stay clear of the cello vista mall area with Police Officials saying the scene is still active. Were following this story as it develops, were going to bring you anything thats coming up over the next couple of minutes. Leland, sounds like its another, you know leland well, so often at times like this you have to take a step back in terms of initial reports. Active shooters could mean a lot of things. Not to down play the situation but also not to cause alarm. The Police Department says there is a shooting, stay away from the cielo vista mall area. The local station down there says it is at a walmart and not only are el paso police, but multiple Law Enforcement agencies are responding there. So texas, were talking about central time, so 12 18. El pasos a border town, noon on a saturday theres a lot of people out shopping, theres a lot of people out spending their saturdays with their family. Anytime you have a report of an active shooter, the protocols now education tend so much farther extend so much farther than they used to. Now reports of gunfire, were talking about multiple s. W. A. T. Teams gillian and weve got that, you know, democratic delegation that just departicipatedded el paso just a just leland weve got a crew down there, and i know Garrett Tenney will start making phone calls. Not only the el paso level, but also so often in these situations you go up to state level, the Texas Rangers and others. That continuing to break in el paso. Well keep watching it. Meantime, back now to this issue that President Trump has been talking about even as hes at his golf club this week, the tariff war with china. It is hitting midwestern farmers particularly hard. One ohio soybean farmer coming up with how he is coping and what he wants done by the administration so he and fellow farmers dont lose their family farms. How do you like it, how do you like it more, more, more how do you like it, how do you like it all you can eat is back. How do you like that . Applebees. Now thats eatin good in the neighborhood.

Its just another way were working to make your life simple, easy, awesome. Go to xfinity. Com moving to get started. Like this, is to actually move in. Certainly, youve got a cadre of First Responders, meaning that you have Law Enforcement officers as well as Ambulance Services that are moving into that area. What is happening at this stage are twofold. One, Law Enforcement who are very much in the el paso, texas, area, highly trained Law Enforcement officers. And theyve trained for these kinds of events. So theyre setting up a perimeter there. But also what is going on, gillian and leland, is that they are also monitoring social media sites or trying to get as much information from perhaps these employees or if its centralized at the walmart in that Shopping Center as well as customers. Leland yeah. Its amazing how in these active shooter situations and when people hear gunshots, so up they tweet about it rather than calling 911. As were looking in terms of where this mall is, it is only a couple of miles, it appear, from the u. S. mexico border, sort of between the border and El Paso International airport along a major interstate there, i10. And youve got all sorts of not only this mall,ater and then a number of the Big Box Stores along the way. How complicated is it, ted, when police start getting 911 calls from an area that large . I hear gunshots. It could be at any one of these stores. It could be inside, it could be outside, it could be in the parking lot, it could be its got to be much more complicated to respond to that than simply shots fired at a house. Absolutely, leland, you are spot on there. It is a hodgepodge of confusion that normally goes through. But what we have are pretty welltrained dispatchers in these police units. And these dispatchers are trained to try to ferret out a great deal of confusion and a lot of noise and to be able to get intelligent information to First Responders at these sites as to actually what is going on. Leland all right. Well, as of 16 minutes ago the el paso Police Department saying that the scene is still active, a although not in terms of letting us know what that means in terms of, obviously, the scene being active, but whether they have contained or figured out what happened, if anything. And they go ted, were going to move on a little bit from this and wait until we get some more information, and then if things turn worse, which so often we fear and have to fear in situations like this they do, well bring you back, sir. My pleasure. Leland good talking to you. Leland theses calculating trade war between the United States and china is hitting farmers here at home. Over the past year, soybean exe ports to china have fallen by 74 . The Trump Administration says they have a 16 billion farm aid package that will help offset the losses for those farmers. With that, we bring in the head of the Soybean Association and farmer fred davis. Mr. Davis, we appreciate you joining us. It appears as though the chinese have you guys in their sights. How bad is it . We have basically lost 3 a bushel in the last year and a half when the tariffs started leland for those of us who dont know farm prices and follow them, 3 a bushel is what percentage . What does that mean to your profit margin . So it was basically everything of our profit margin and then another 10 . Leland wow. So we were getting 10. 30 a bushel before the trade embargo started, and then when we, in the last ten months we got down to 7. 50. So thats e way below our price of production. Leland there were some claims by the president the chinese had agreed to buy a bunch of soybeans, etc. , out of the latest talks when the president was overseas. Have you seen any of that . Thats the trouble. The chinese have said that they were going to buy that soybeans from us, and we havent seen anything come to fruition in that. Its very leland shocking. The chinese have never before broken their word on a trade deal. [laughter] unbelievable that it would happen now. This is what the president said speaking directly, really, to farmers like you before he left the north lawn at the white house the south lawn, on his way out of town yesterday. Remember this our country is taking in billions and billions of dollars from china. We never took in ten cents from china. And out of that, many were taking a part of it and giving it to farmers because theyve been targeted by china. They come out totally whole, so you interviewed the wrong farmer. Leland the president told that reporter you interviewed the wrong farmer. Have you come out totally whole, sir . Is. Not totally whole. It has helped us get through this situation. We understand that our technology is being stolen from, by the chinese and sold back to us with no, no way to regain any of the technology in that. Theyve but we spent basically 40 years trying to grow this market, and the Chinese People have grown their middle class, and the first thing a chinese family wants to do is feed their, feed their family and then educate their family. So it has helped us get through this, but we still want trade, not tariffs. Leland and so often now were hearing about farm bankruptcies not only in ohio, but in wisconsin, kansas and in other places. Mr. Davis, we appreciate your time, sir, and it goes without saying although ill say it we sure admire the hard work you and other farmers put in day in, day out. We dont say thank you enough. Thank you. Leland gillian . Gillian most of the 200 democratic 2020 democratic president ial candidates are in las vegas. Thats a live picture there of senator cory booker hoping to gain support from the nations top labor union. But getting that enforcement, not going to be easy for any of these candidates. Weve got reporters there on the ground. Well go to them next. Hey, who are you . Oh, hey jeff, im a car thief. What . im here to steal your car because, well, thats my job. What . What . . What . laughing what . . What . what . [crash] what . haha, it happens. And if youve got cutrate car insurance, paying for this could feel like getting robbed twice. So get allstate. And be better protected from mayhem. Like me. Since my dvt blood clot i was thinking. Could there be another around the corner . Or could it turn out differently . I wanted to help protect myself. My doctor recommended eliquis. Eliquis is proven to treat and help prevent another dvt or pe blood clot. Almost 98 percent of patients on eliquis didnt experience another. And eliquis has significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Eliquis is fda approved and has both. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Whats around the corner could be surprising. Ask your doctor about eliquis. Leland all right. A little bit more on these reports of an active shooter down in el paso, texas. The Police Department tweeting just a couple of minutes away about an intersection, saying the right lane of the mall is closed, and there is a minor traffic backup. Evidently there in el paso they give you traffic updates as well. The local nbc affiliate reports the shooting was in an area walmart. This is all just a couple of miles from the border. Based thiess on the twitter account from the police, it does not appear as though this situation is escalating. Theyre not asking for help from the public, they havent talked about anything else other than saying, hey, theres a lane or two of traffic closed. We certainly hope that, as happens in some of these situations, the headlines a lot worse than the actual situation and the results. Well keep an eye on it, Garrett Tenney is in el paso, he and his crew are making their way over there, and well see if we cant get more information from them. Gillian sounds good. Gillian meanwhile, 19 Democratic Candidates vying for the labor vote in sin city today where theyll be addressing the nations top banana public labor union. Claudia cowan has been covering the story all morning for us. We saw cory booker take the stage just a couple of moments ago, what is happening now . Reporter thats right, gillian, it has been a busy morning for these candidates who only get 15 minutes to make their best pitch before hundreds of Union Members here in las vegas. Cory booker is still on stage right now answering questions, but first out of the gate we heard from Julian Castro. The he touted his record as mayor of san antonio for getting things done. He also followed up on a comment he made during the debate that frontrunner joe biden had not, quote, learned the lessons from the past about immigration. There are lessons that we can learn from this, and i said, number one, if i were president , one lesson that i learned was, look, in 20092010 there was a democratic president , Democratic House and 60 votes in the senate, right . If we had that opportunity again or even if we dont, even if we just have 50 votes in the senate, we need to move forward with immigration reform. Reporter senator Elizabeth Warren got a rousing welcome. Is she pushed her support of replacing private insurance with medicare for all and talked about her plan to cancel 95 of student loan debt. Americas had an issue for a long time about moving in and widening the black white wealth gap, the gap between whites and everybody else. I have picked deliberately the numbers that are going to help shrink that wealth gap and maximize opportunity for all. Reporter warren also said she would put Union Leaders in top positions in her administration including as labor secretary if shes elected. All but five of the 23 president ial hopefuls are getting interviewed and answering questions from workers who belong to the group hosting this forum, the American Federation of state, county and municipal employees, one of the biggest Public Employee unions in the country with 1. 6 million members nationally. So this forum is a chance for the candidates to prove their prounion credential. So far theyre also, of course, jockeying for a key endorsement and, gillian, so far there has only been one major union endorsement. The International Association of firefighters throwing its support behind joe biden. Back to you. Gillian claudia with, sounds like nabbing this endorsement not going to be an easy get for any one with of the 19 candidates duking it out now. Thanks for covering it for us today, claudia. Reporter youre welcome. Leland before the primary in nevada, i think they have a caucus there. Theres going to be one in South Carolina, and for that, we look to our resident expert in South Carolina, josh kimbrell, the local flavor here not only for the barbecue, but for the politics as well. Good to see you, my friend, as always. Heard on the airwaves in South Carolina, on the internet around the world, seems like when you think about South Carolina now and biden in particular, its his to lose. Leland, i think thats absolutely true. Joe bidens leading by 20 points in South Carolina over every other candidate, and the reason being weve talked about this before, africanamericans make up 60 of the democratic primary vote here. Africanamerican voters particularly on social issues are socially conservative. Theyre moderately conservative in our state, which is regard he is regardless [inaudible] biden comes off as a moderate. His challenge is going to be, his challenge is going to be though how to maintain that moderate lane in South Carolina when hes going to have to, first, try to win New Hampshire or iowa where the electorate is whiter and far more liberal. If he can survive those two early primaries and caucus in iowa, primary in New Hampshire, South Carolinas actually his to lose. Leland yeah, theres an interesting dichotomy here in that South Carolina africanamericans are far more conservative than the progressives of the northeast or of iowa or some of the other states like nevada. Were going to talk more about that poll, well bring it up more. This is the Monmouth University poll. Joe biden, 39 . Kamala harris, 12 . Sanders, 10 . Cory booker all the way down at 2 x. There was a fascinating dynamic as you watched biden in the middle between Kamala Harris and cory booker in the debate and then Tulsi Gabbard got into it. Take a listen, well get your reaction. She put over 1500 people in jail for marijuana violations and then laughed about it if she was asked did she ever smoke marijuana . [cheers and applause] she blocked evidence that would have freed an innocent man from death row until the courts forced her to do so. Every major crime bill, major and minor, has had his name on it. And, sir, those are your word, not mine. And this is one of those instances where the house was set on fire, and you claimed responsibility for those laws. And you cant just now come out with a plan to put out that fire. Leland thoughts . Well, first off, some of that democratondemocrat violence ive been talking about. I was reading this morning former congressman from tennessee harold ford jr. And eric holder both saying youv got all these democrats slamming obama saying obama was too the liberal particularly on issues like immigration or crime and order, and frankly, they said they dont even know that barack obama could win a democratic primary in 2020. Now, leland, you know im a republican, but i look at this and think when youve got democrats saying barack obama is a moderate, i dont know that they have a pathway to win the general election without joe bidens their best chance for that. The problem he has, and i know youre talking about Tulsi Gabbard here, but these guys are attacking Kamala Harris over being a prosecutor, frankly. Leland you and i used to laugh about reagans 11th commandment in the republican party. If democrats ever had one, it is gone, real gone. It seems as though democrats attacking barack obama, his policies, his legacy is relatively the political equivalent of republicans attacking Ronald Reagan and saying, gee, he wasnt conservative enough, and he wasnt tough enough on the russians. Thats exactly right. Thats an excellent comparison. I mean, barack obama is to democrats what Ronald Reagan was to my party. And the one thing we havent done is cannibalize reagan yet, nor do i plan to do that. Hes still ronald the great. On the democratic side theyre already fracturing only three years after the obama presidency. Leland i guess if you wait long enough, anythings possible, weve learned that around my house. Especially in politics. Leland yeah. Especially in poll picks. Josh politics. Josh, always good to see you, my friend. Well talk to you soon. Always a pleasure, thank you. Leland safe travels. Gillian the son of alqaedas founder and potential heir to the organizations leadership, hamsa bin laden, now dead. This announcement coming as isis claims responsibility for yet another attack on christians, this time in africa. Why u. S. Officials say the global war on terror is far from over, coming up next. Ok everyone our mission is to provide complete, balanced nutrition for strength and energy whoohoo greattasting ensure. With nine grams of protein and twentysix vitamins and minerals. Ensure, for strength and energy. Leland with a fox news alert now, we ae following reports of this active shooter situation in el paso. It seems to certainly be contained and, thankfully, not getting worse. The Police Department there tweeting just a couple of minutes ago that the scene is still active and warning people to steer clear of the cielo vista mall if. But theyre talking about, i guess, minor backups which would imply traffic backups and clearing time until further notice. Neither of those sound particularly alarming. This at a mall complex but with Big Box Stores and then a mall along a major interstate there in el paso. Not far from the airport and not far from the border either. Weve got a crew enroute there, and as soon as possible they get there, well pass along anything you need to know. Gillian isis now taking responsibility today for a terror attack targeting christians in mozambique yesterday. This as Officials Say isis anding and alqaeda are still Global Security threats to the United States. Joins joining us now, senior fellow at the Hudson Institute michael [inaudible] everybody in washington these days, it seems like, is focused on possible russian interference in the 2016 election and the 2020 election, theyre obsessing about north korea e and iran, but meanwhile, you know, the old favorites isis and right . Exactly. Isis has not been defeated yet. Weve simply denied territory or taken territory away. They remain active in syria, in the iraq, and theyre able to conduct these attacks across the world at a time and place of their choosing. Gillian it seems like some of the organizations that were thriving in the, you know, across the middle east like isis are kind of pivoting now to africa. Spreading their tentacles deeper into subsaharan africa, west africa, right . Right. Yeah, a region that has no govern nance. They exploit territory where theres a lack of governance and theres basically sectarian strife between different ethnic minority groups. Thats the recipe for an isis resurgence, for an alqaeda resurgence. Promising, good news this week in the form of the u. S. Government confirming that the son of terrorist people osama bin laden, hamza, was killed a few months back. But some u. S. Officials, take a listen to this clip, are saying dont get too excited, you know . This doesnt really weaken the organization as a whole. Take a listen, well get your reaction. Alqaeda has been strategic and patient over the past several years. Its leapt isis absorb let isis absorb the brunt of the worlds counterterrorism efforts while patiently reconstituting itself. We see alqaeda today that is as strong as it has ever been. Gillian so reconstituting itself, thats a worrisome statement. Right. What i like about pointing out that hamza died several months ago is that that allowed the Intelligence Community to exploit the network. Unlike osama bin ladens death, the president announced it four hours after the railed, and all the bad guys threw their phones away and went to mattresses. In this case we allowed the network to pop up to tell us hamza was dead, and that would give us an opportunity to go after more highvalue targets because youre watching everybody pop up. And the only people that dont know that he didnt show up at a meeting or that hes somehow gone off the radar would be highlevel leadership. So how many other alqaeda wouldbe replacements have been killed in the last two months. Thats the way the Intelligence Communitys supposed to work after a raid; exploit the network when it pops up gillian not broadcast it. We understand, obviously, with the case of osama bin laden, the world needed to know, americans needed to know. It seems like as isis territory is dwindling in the middle east, its influence is remaining powerful, meaning its got i think what general jack keane calls the virtual caliphate now. Its got an online stronghold in cyberspace. Right. They still have a brand. O somalis were arrested in tucson last week for trying to join isis to be foreign fighters. So it still has a brand, its still able to recruit, and its learned the lesson dont claim territory unless you can shoot down american aircraft. Gillian michael, thanks so much for joining us. Well check back in with you. Leland fox news alert from the campaign trail. Live pictures out of las vegas where former Vice President , 2020 president ial candidate joe biden speaking at the American Federation of state, county and municipal employees union, Public Service forum. Noteworthy that biden got a huge endorsement from the firefighters union, has often courted labor, calls himself a friend of labor. A friendly audience, especially for a more centrist view of the world. Here he is. Sign a noncompete agreement that you could not go on the other side of town, and these are hourly workers. Nonunion, hourly workers. You could not go across town to see if you could get ten cents more working at mcdons. Its all about mcdonalds. Its all about suppressing wages overtime pay was denied four million hourly workers because the person who brings out the cans of spaghetti sauce to put on the shelf is able to control the person running the forklift. Theyre denied overtime. Its wrong. This has been an allout war on suppressing wages in order to increase profits for individuals for corporations. [applause] so was enough done to press for the employees free choice act . Yes well, let me put it this way, there wasnt we pressed and pressed. The fact of the matter is there were other things happening as well. And my administration look, Everybody Knows in our administration that im a labor guy. And i have been outspoken about labor, and ive been outspoken about the need to deal with it. But there are other things that were happening as well at the same time, and we did not have a Republican Congress we didnt have a Democratic Congress to be able to get it done. I would. Were going to take questions from members in a second, but a lot of people watching this now, maybe some people in this room, its almost ten years now, can you believe, that after obamacare passed. And there are a lot of people, mr. Vice president , who still dont have health care or dont have the health care that they want. Thats the appeal that i think that Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren and others are playing into with medicare for all. Do you still, after all these years, think obamacare was a bfd . I do think it was a big deal. Look, seven president s tried to get it done. Look how around hard it was to get it done. We got it done without a coverage. [applause] we should make sure that we should add a medicare option for anybody who wants to buy in. You should be able to keep your private, your employerbased insurance if you want it. You dont have to keep it. If you dont want it, you can buy in. You can get a gold plan where you have 1,000 deductibles, lower payments, increase the subsidies for people to get into the plan. Thats the way to build on where we are now, not to go out and try to pass a 30 trillion plan. My plan costs a lot of money, it costs an additional 750 million, but its not 30 trillion. And we can get it done. Leland all right. Fo issues that perhaps is most important to union workers, a constituency that he needs if he is going to win the nomination. And hes talking about health care. And with medicare for all, he says, you lose meaning workers would lose some of their really fantastic Health Care Benefits from the union. And he says under his plan that wont happen. Well keep watching it. Gillian now to a fox the news alert. Fox news alert. Youre looking live at el paso, texas, where were following reports of an active shooter situation. The Police Department there tweeting a few moments ago that, quote the scene is still active. And warning folks near the cielo vista mall area to steer clear. Were going to continue watching this story as it develops. Leland, as you mentioned earlier, still precious few facts nobody leland one fact that were getting right now as were watching a Police Officer and it looks like they are pulling out some of their larger weapons from an unmarked car there at the back of this mall. Ktsm, which is the local nbc affiliate, now reporting that 18 people were shot inside the walmart. Extent of their injuries unknown at the time. As we watch this and you cover enough of these, youve learned to read a little bit of the body language of the police, we dont see anybody running, we dont see weapons at the necessarily and up. We dont see more s. W. A. T. Teams coming in, etc. You wonder at this time if Police Believe they have part of this contained or at least understand what happened and arent calling in more units. Its unclear where the walmart that the nbc station is talking about is in relation to entrance to mall. It would appear thats what were looking at on our screen, but this situation certainly changing now in the border town of el paso. This began unfolding about noon central time so, gillian, youd imagine families out shopping there on a saturday afternoon, getting groceries in ther . , getting ready in the summer, getting ready for a wonderful weekend. And this mall sits just about halfway between the u. S. mexico border in el paso and the airport. Gillian looking at the live photos of the parking lot outside of the walmart and the cielo vista mall area, looks like a lot of cars parked there. You know, middle of the day, a bright, sunny saturday. Youve got to think that a lot of families headed to the mall to take care of business, to get outside away from the heat, maybe to take their families there for an afternoon of some fun and shopping. This is certainly not what imagg for today, for this saturday. Leland we radio tapes. We have some producers listening to those, and we try to do that in these situations, listen to them, try to glean what information we can and also check to see whats happened on those tapes before we put them on air. But were working on those as well. I dont know if we have control over this camera or can talk to photographer, but sometimes if they could pan a little to the left we dont have any control over this picture. We saw a number of officers, some appeared to be in casual clothes, shorts and tshirts with bulletproof vests walking towards the back entrances of this mall. The nbc affiliate reporting just this, that there was 18 people shot. The extent of their injuries is unknown. And, obviously, its going to take a while to figure out how long this could go on before we have more information. We bring back ted williams, former d. C. Homicide detective and federal agent. Ted, clearly things have changed since we last talked. I dont know if you can see a make of the posture of police . We dont see s. W. A. T. Teams offs and groups ready. The urgency seems to have been pulled back a little bit, although we dont know if this is the main scene. Well, im not actually able to view the scene, but i can tell you this, if you do not see that kind of activity, it could very well be more likely than not that the shooter or shooters are down. I say that not having as much information as i would like to have. But normally if, in fact, it was still a very active scene, you would find the s. W. A. T. Teams in place, and it appears as though Law Enforcement seems to be in a lax state from what youve been able to see and glean. So, therefore the, its more likely than not that the Law Enforcement on that scene are now in control of that scene. But the tragedy is, from what ive been told the, the amount of people who are alleged to have been shot, thats clearly a tragedy. Gillian ted, ktsm is reporting that the shooter theyre confirming the shooter shot at 18 people. What does that number mean to you . What does it tell you . Oh, my god, it sounds like its been and im, it sounds like it could very well have come from a semiautomatic weapon, because its very difficult even in a store like walmart to shoot that many people leland all right, ted, were up against the top of the hour. Now noon Mountain Time in el paso, texas, where we understand that at least according to our affiliates 18 people have been shot inside a local walmart there on a sunday morning when you know so many people headed out with their families this morning and with their loved ones to get ready for the weekend and to do their weekly shopping. Were going to continue to follow the news and the developments from new york. Gillian there are reports of an active shooter near a mall. Police confirming the situation on twitter, saying active shoot. Shooting, stay away from the malaria. Mall area. The first reports of gunfire came in around 11 00 in the morning local time in el paso, techs local media is reporting that shots were fired inside of a
