We just went through that with scramble by eggs before i get my chickens right. Justice kavanaugh and he was we still have to improve innocent all the way as far as im concerned. Turnout. Sandra we begin with rich turnout, turnout, turnout. Edson live at the state Democratic Victory depends on department. Mike pompeo giving saudi arabia turnout. 1 out of 5 millennials voted in a chance to investigate this . The last midterm and make sure thats right. The secretary says the saudis we need a pink wave. Were stressed he stressed we need the women to win their and the u. S. Government stressed they complete a quick races. Bill it suggests some investigation but unsure of a reservations. Im a former campaign precise timeline. He was given assurances the chairperson. A former part chairperson, saudis will punish those responsible. They made a commitment to campaign manager. Im confident but not over confident. If you asked me today what hold anyone connected to any would i do differently in terms wrongdoing that may be found of democrats . Accountable for that whether i would target latinos and they are a senior officer, or millennials. The minorities have the right to vote. Official. They promised accountability thats an issue going on across for each of those persons whom they determine as a result of the country. Bill same argument in 2010, their investigation has 2014. Deserves accountability. All im saying these midterms go to the same issues for secretary pompeo says its reasonable to give the saudis an opportunity to investigate democrats with regard to Younger Voters and with regard the disappearance of columnist to latinos. Republicans treat elections Jamal Khashoggi. Like the world series. The secretary says it is his they know its every year. Assessment there is a serious commitment from the saudis to democrats like the world soccer thing. Determine all the facts and every four years. This is the reason why democrats have to talk about insure accountability. Khashoggis family says it the issues. Not about trump. I know President Trump loves wants an independent and people talking about him. International commission to hello, mr. President. Investigate the writers he watches fox i heard. Hello. Bill he is in a cabinet disappearance. Turkish media say the meeting. He is watching a phone. Investigation points to saudi democrats have to focus on millennials and women can vote operatives close to crown and remove the restrictions so every american can vote this Prince Mohammed bin salman responsible for killing fall. Bill we used to work at cnn. Khashoggi. Theyve begun a joint we had a hot dog on the investigation, the saudi corner. Consulate. I was watching you. Sandra how will the u. S. You still look good. Bill thank you, appreciate that. Respond if saudi arabia is you used to call me a biscuit. Found responsible . Administration officials joe biden a commanding 33 of have discussed consequences though given no details on that. Democrats prefer him. Would you take that . When the secretary was asked its too early for me to what the repercussions would be he would only say that the saudis spoke about the find a date. I havent been courted yet. Importance of completing the investigation. Why are you asking me that the secretary also met with top today . I dont know the full team. Turkish officials including the eric holder is going to run, foreign minister and erdogan. There are a lot of people who he says the turkish may not be on that list today. Investigation are looking at let me tell you this, joe has parts of the saudi complex repainted possibly to hide evidence. Always been my favorite uncle, seriously. I like that man. The secretary and president erdogan also spoke about syria bill bloomberg is probably and the return of pastor andrew running. Brunson. The president had something to sandra thank you, rich say about that last night. Edson at the state department give it a listen. For us. Lets head to the white house where President Trump is warning against rushing to President Trump thats good. Judgment in this diplomatic i think it would be so easy. Situation. I dont think i dont think kevin corke live on the north he will get through the lawn. How soon does the white house democrats. You wouldnt be able to do expect to get answers from anything in the pry naers saudi leadership on this issue . Because of where the party is going . President trump i think the ive talked to a couple democrats will eat him up. You have a lot of people sources this morning and hoping to get some clarity perhaps as running. Bill eat him up. Soon as tomorrow. Well, i know the mayor. As the Investigation Continues theyre insisting we not make a he is a staunch supporter for rush to judgment. The president pointed out Climate Change and gun control. Earlier, this is not good pool gun safety. If youre making that i really do believe we have to determination before we have wait until wednesday, november all the facts. 7th. If you want me to come back up now, he has always been on twitter talking about this. To new york i will stir your this happened 18 hours ago. Pot, biscuit. Lets go to social media and share a bit of what he had to this is an affection term not say during a tweet about this. Just spoke with crown prince of anything to do with i believe we have to wait until saudi arabia who totally denied any knowledge of what took november 7th. Here is one prediction i will place in their turkish make. This will be a long list of consulate. He was with secretary of state mike pompeo during the call and told me he has already started and rapidly expand a full and candidates. Kamala harris is assembling her team. Complete investigation into bill cory booker, elizabeth this matter. Warren. Answers will be forthcoming john kerry might run. All the better. Shortly. Keep an eye on what that might we have a great group of talented people. Mean as we unpack what perhaps there will be some unknown the meaning behind shortly people. Barack obama was unknown before really is. What youre seeing here at the white house, i think, is the 2004 democratic convention. Perhaps, sandra, the stongest it is going to be a fabulous example of message discipline year. That we have ever seen from the donald trump is going to have so much to say about all these president. The stakes are high, intensity democrats. Bill more to come. And attention on this story is in 20 days what is the next surprise . Very real and messaging the next big surprise . Continues to be consistent. In an interview with the a. P. Bill over the 20 days. You heard him say quite frankly with the International Order being what it is. The conversations have been we dont know if it will productive with both the king foreign or domestic. And with the crown prince. When i spoke to the father it people are passionate, enthusiastic and the republican sounded to me like he felt like and democratic side. He did not do it. Bill you should work here, he didnt know about it. Just a suggestion. It sounded like, you know, the a girl needs a job. Bill thank you, good to see concept of rogue killers but i dont know. You. Whats next . Sandra pastor andrew i think the investigation will lead to an answer and they are going to do a very thorough brunson back on u. S. Soil after being detained two years in investigation. There you hear it again. Turkey. A long fight to secure his very thorough. Release. It is ongoing. Well talk to one of his there have been some calls, as lawyers next. You well know, that there i was torn in two. Should be perhaps and it was very difficult. International cooperation effort to try to get to the i wanted to desperately to be bought many of this mystery. With my kids but i felt he at this point that hasnt been really needed me. I wanted to be with him. Ruled out. I can tell you this, probably we didnt know what was going to haen. We look back and say two years. Get answers soon, maybe as soon at the time you dont know. As tomorrow. Well keep an eye on it. I know there is a guarantee. Bill meanwhile President Trump gearing up saying his its for my family, its for my self, aggressive campaigning has been its for my future. A bump to republicans. Annuities can provide protected income for life. I think im helping people and we have a big impact. Learn more at retire your risk dot org. He told the Associated Press that. I dont think anybody has had this kind of impact. Some of the people ive endorsed from gone up 40 and 50 points. I think well do well. It feels to me very much like 2016. Matt schlapp former white house political director for president bush. Good morning to you. Full disclosure, you are hosting events for republicans and you have skin in the game here. I do. Im a partisan, no doubt about it. Bill does it feel like 2016 to you . No, this is a very different endless shrimp is back at with all the shrimp you want, cycle. Each cycle is unique. Any way you want them. I think the one thing that is theres new sesameginger grilled shrimp like 2016, bill, is if you look with savory soyginger sauce at a lot of the polls that and sprinkled with asian seasoning. And favorites like garlic shrimp scampi people are looking at publicly and when i talk to these but endless shrimp wont last endlessly, so hurry in. Republican candidates and incumbent congressmen across the country, the situation is much better in their polling than in the Something Like 68 districts that many people are tracking saying that these races are tight or that the republicans are behind. I think there was a kavanaugh effect. The terrain is looking better. Bill the a. P. Had a headline. Trump tells a. P. Says he wont except blame if g. O. P. Loses house. A. P. Headliner was different from my quote and meaning in the story. They cant help themselves. Fake news. Well see if the a. P. Puts out more context. The question is this. Do you believe this is a trump referendum in 20 days . Well, it really depends on what happens. If there is a big, big, big democratic gain in the house i think that argument is bigger to make. I think the facts on the ground, bill, actually show the biggest part the biggest characteristic of this race is going to be an increased republican majority in the senate. I believe the majority can grow by at least two, which means if there is a Supreme Court opening next year, there is a good chance there will be, republicans dont have to bite their nails as they wait to see where one or two of their more less reliable members will be on a vote like that. If you have senate pickups, and increased republican majority in the senate hard to make the argument there was a blue wave. On the house side donald trump won 228 congressional districts in 2016. But yet the republican majority is 240. One of the highest majorities weve ever had. Well probably lose ground. Do we lose enough ground to lose the majority . Thats to be determined. I think it is a coin flip who controls the house. Bill drama laoengd up to that day. Ted cruz and beto orourke. Let me be clear what it would cost. He is proposing socialized thats when i was really medicine. Broken down and very isolated. Senator cruz is dishonest even though i was in a crowded and why lying ted stuck. Prison cell just isolated from its true. Its clear the pollsters have come out on the attack. The outside and receiving encouragement. One of the most important if he wants to insult me and call me a liar thats fine but things someone told me is just breathe. You dont have expectations john adams famously said facts that i have to preach to are stubborn things. Everyone, just hang on to god. It is one of the things i did. Cruz leads in the polling. I kept talking to god, talking orourke is raising a lot of to god. Money. Is this race for real or is it sandra pastor andrew more of a liberal mirage do you brunson speaking out about his believe, matt, in the end . Time in a turkish prison. I think it was for real for he was detained for nearly two most of it. I think its starting to break years while advocates back home fought for his freedom. Senator cruzs way now. Thats whats happening in the the American Center for law and justice was part of that effort. Races. There are three or four the organizations chief counsel, jordan sekulow, joins republican races, arizona, us now. Jordan, thank you for your time where Martha Mcsally has to this morning and you know, its hold that seat. Something we still look back on heller in nevada and blackburn and now we hear his words and in tennessee. The difficult time that he went in all these races in texas with ted cruz those are coming through while detained two he is growing increasing his lead. Years there. The one i worry the most about his living conditions. When you look back at this time is dean heller in nevada. If republicans can hold the and the fight to get him home, what do you think . Four seats it will be about i think that it was what pickups and tough for the democrats to spin the night. Pastor brunson said, which was you dont have an end date in bill well talk about these situations. Montana. So time, even though you look thats razor thin right now. Back as his wife said this matt schlapp, thank you for morning on fox friends, it your time. Was only two years, as the more to come on that. Sandra coming up next hour attorneys, working with the Trump Administration which did Newt Gingrich will be our an excellent job and president headliner and here to weigh in trump leading up that effort on the top stories as well, deserves so much praise for the work that they did. Whether its pastor brunsons you dont know that it is going return home, Jamal Khashoggi to be he doesnt know it is and the ongoing situation going to be just two years. There, the president , he will we have to do a lot of work weigh in on all that. Here in the United States bill does it feel like 20 working with our government days a way . Because its american citizen abroad as well working with sandra youre feeling it, right . International institutions, not knowing how long, for instance, bill breaking news out, the we need to make sure that the apparently a mechanical issue. World remembers andrew brunson, that he is not forgotten. They is safe and working to get more information on the story if you heard from pastor brunson, thats what his number developing outside of washington, d. C. Right nou. Sandra a deadly bomb blast one concern was his first year at a recent hot spot in europe in prison was that he would be forgotten. We know that from dealing with sparking a terror investigation. These kind of cases in the past what were learning about the suspect. Plus this. Of people in prison, political it seemed that there was no prisoners imprisoned because of way out and i lost a lot of their faith. There is this feeling the world must have forgotten me. Hope. And what helped me, i began to his wife played the key role in see that there was value in my reminding him that people are suffering, especially as time on tv talking about you. Went on. Bill thats the freed the president of the United States is talking about you. Sandra we heard from her american Pastor Andrew Brunson describing his time in a this morning talking about the him and praying with him and turkish prison. The powerful moment he had with singing with him. The president upon his return you know, being a part of this to the oval office. Sandra President Trump heading back to montana as the fight obviously is very dear to you and very personal for you. Race heats up between rosendale and your efforts to bring him and tester. Home. It was very personal for the president and you gave him a lot of credit for staying on President Trump the swamp this and pursuing this as he is fighting back. But dont worry, we will win. Did. This november you need to vote why was this so personal for the president . Republican. This started remember pastor vote for Matt Rosendale and brunson was arrested back in vote to put america first. You have to do it. October of 2016. You have to do it. So just before President Trump was elected. So during the transition after woman wed been counting down to his retirement. He was elected and during the it was our tresiba® reason. He needs insulin to control his high blood sugar transition, we had already and, at his age, begun to update the incoming hes at greater risk for lows. Tresiba® releases Trump Administration about slow and steady pastor brunsons case. And works all day and night President Trump, Vice President like the bodys insulin. Pence, they knew about this. vo tresiba® is a longacting insulin they knew that on day one they used to control high blood sugar in adults with diabetes.

Matt may rail against the swamp on twitter but then brags about his backing from out of state special interests. Matt brought the swamp from maryland to montana. What do you think about that, sir . Its just more of the same typical smear techniques that the washington democrat has been using and seen it against the judges, weve seen jon use it against ronny jackson. The facts are the facts. I brought a broad range of Healthcare Options for people to make sure they can accommodate their needs that recognizes their budgets, their personal needs, and their personal choices. And weve also cut regulations. Unstopand its strengthenedting place, the by xfi pods,gateway. Much in the line that the which plug in to extend the wifi even farther, president has.

Click or visit a retail store today. While he has been in washington, d. C. He has become the largest recipient of contributions from lobbyists across the nation. Increased the debt ceiling 11 times and the National Debt has increased to over 21 trillion since he has been here. The people of montana dont think thats a good record. Bill what do you think a visit of the president does for you . I mention the polling. It is hard to get a handle on the race. Three points a month ago, i dont know where it is today. What does the third visit do for your in your campaign . Its a historical third im ready to crush ap english. Visit and were thrilled to im ready to do have the president come back what no one on my block has done before. Again. Forget that. The Vice President there, don what no one in the world has done before. Junior has and we feel the energy and momentum across the all i need access, entire state. Tools, weve had tremendous turnouts. Connections. Highspeed connections. I did seven events on saturday is the world ready for me . And record turnouts at every through internet essentials, event i go to. Comcast has connected more than this will just continue to sixmillion lowincome people build that momentum. To lowcost, you know whats on the line, highspeed internet at home. Im trying to do some homework here. Right . The senate is razor tight. So theyre ready for anything. We go to our what if map here. 5149. If you can turn montana from blue to red you can see an advantage it gives you in a tight senate race. The last word now on the level of pressure you are feeling at this point 20 days out. We feel great pressure. We feel positive pressure. Thats where i perform the best and the people in montana are coming out overwhelmingly and supporting us. They see the failed policies of jon tester and the Obama Administration and they want to embrace this agenda that the president is putting forward and whats great for america is great for montana. Bill thank you for your time, sir. See how it goes. Were back to 5149 right now. Bill a couple things now. Matt rosendale, thank you in there will be tape playback, washington, d. C. Today. The pool goes in and spray the sandra breaking news on a room and there will be comments from the president in a moment here. In addition to that he has gone into another meeting with the series disease on the rise cabinet. Nationwide. Its a polio like illness. With his cabinet members. What you need to know about were waiting to hear that. A lot of the questions went to this. Bill also Wisconsin Police the saudi situations. Begging for more tips in the why are you giving cover to the case of a missing 13yearold saudis . Girl whose parents were found why not send the f. B. I. . Dead in their home. He answered that. Have you ever asked turkey for a community in disbelief as the search for her grows nationwide. Audio or video as evidence and we get a live report on that indeed they have. Coming up in a moment. Theyre waiting to see if it we all have kids. Exists. Sandra an important point to the story following this throughout the morning waiting for evidence and facts the but we hope they find her. President has said mike pompeo after meeting with turkish its scary. You dont know what to expect anymore no matter where youre at. Officials when asked have you asked turkey for audio video evidence. If it exists, this is with the initial meeting at the white house. Economic meeting which is followed then by the Cabinet Meeting. Both have pool sprays. Were getting a lot of information. The president answering a lot of questions on the news of the day. Bill rather telling in the interview with Stewart Varney that aired earlier today the president was rather frank in saying we need saudi arabia and want their help when it comes to fighting terror. Thats something that we can debate but you will hear that sound bite throughout the day here. Question, why are you giving cover to the saudis . Answer we are not. He then talked about mike pompeos extensive visit over the week to saudi arabia and then turkey. Saudi arabia has been a very important ally in the middle east and on the answer goes. Mike pompeo will be back stateside around 6 00 tonight. So well get another readout from him based on his visit in those two countries. Sandra his answer to why not send in the f. B. I. Was really interesting. He answered well, he is not an american citizen and you dont know if we have or not. Maybe we have. Im not telling. Why should i tell you . These are some of the words we are ore learning. The president has said inside of the white house. As this story moves forward, there seems to be even more questions, not just on the facts and evidence of the matter but the United States handling of this matter obviously because of the relations with these countries involved. Bill tricky story when you consider the geopolitical alliances between saudi arabia, turkey, israel in between, iran to the east, United States trying to exert some sort of direction for that part of the world. The waters run deep in so many different areas here. He also, sandra, talked about regulating the drug industry and defended why he believed thats necessary. We want prices down. We want open markets. We Want Companies to be more competitive. That goes to a story we talked about yesterday about the administration thinking about if a Pharmaceutical Company wanted to run a television commercial, you would accompany that commercial with the price of the drug theyre advertising. Inside the white house we go. President trump i just want to find out whats happening. Secretary of state pompeo will be back probably late tonight or early tomorrow morning. He went to turkey, he went all over. But he spent a lot of time with the crown prince and he is going to have a full report. Im not giving cover at all. With that said saudi arabia has been a very important ally of ours in the middle east. We are stopping iran were stopping iran. We went a big step when we took away the ridiculous deal made by the previous administration, the iran deal, 150 billion, 1. 8 billion in cash. What was that all about . Theyre an ally and we have other good allies in the middle east. If you look at saudi arabia theyre an ally, tremendous purchasers of not only military equipment but other things. When i went there they bill the cdc confirming 62 committed to purchase 450 case of a rare poliolike billion worth of thing and 110 condition in different states. Billion worth of military. Those are the biggest orders in the history of this country, probably the history of the afm, acute flaccid myelitis world. I dont think there has ever mostly affects children and causing paralysis. Been ever order for 450 it is not clear what causes it. Billion. You remember that day in saudi the cdc says it is arabia where that commitment was made. Investigating total of 130 they are an important ally but i want to find out what cases across the country. Sandra new information happened, where is the fault, meanwhile in the case of a and we will probably know that by tend of the week. Missing wisconsin teenager. Mike pompeo is coming back and police say 13yearold jayme well have a long talk. Closs is not considered a us a across the river in virginia, why not send the f. B. I. In to figure all this suspect or a runaway and is out . He wasnt a citizen of this believed to be in danger after country for one thing. Her parents were found dead in well determine that. You dont know whether or not their home monday. We have, do you . The nationwide search for her but do you know whether or not intensifies. Weve sent the f. B. I. . Were continuing to work im not going to tell you. With agencies local, state, the why would i tell you . Department of criminal investigation, the f. B. I. , we you asked for this audio, have every resource that is available across the nation working this case. Video intelligence . I couldnt be more happy and President Trump we have proud of the effort put forth asked for it if it exists. By the teams that weve are you surprised they assembled. Havent sent it over . Sandra matt finn is live in im not sure it exists, possibly does. Chicago. A glimmer of hope there, the ill have a full report on mike when he comes back. Most notable lead so far has thats one of the things that been the possible sighting of will be the first question i jayme down in miami. Ask. That hasnt gone anywhere. There is talk after midterms about sending up on sandra, jayme was discovered the hill. Im curious, is there any missing early monday. Then yesterday this tip came in programs you would like to see . Im having a cabinet she might have been spotted at a gas station all the way down meeting in a little while. Were going to ask every in miami, florida inside a dark secretary to cut 5 for next s. U. V. Driven by two men. Year. And last year, first year, i police say they have no had to do something with the military. Military was falling apart. Credible information about that it was depleted. Apparent sighting. They arent ruling it out but it was in very bad shape. Apparently are not placing a thats why we went for two lot of urgency on the possible years. Sighting. Authorities say more than 100 700 billion, 716 billion. And that took place over a officers and agents are working period of two years. On this case around the clock. We have repurchased and the autopsies for her parents purchased jets, missiles, are scheduled today. Rockets, all forms of 56 years james closs and military equipment, ships, submarines, we have rebuilt 46yearold denise closs were and are in the process of found dead in their home and rebuilding our military to a guns were fired at the scene level that has never been and their 13yearold daughter before. I had to do that. In order to get to 700 and has vanished. We put out whatever we could. The 716 billion, those numbers have never been heard of before. We would like to have a whole i had to give the democrats, lot more information but in i call it waste money. This case given the violence at things that i would never the scene and the disappearance have approved. We had to do that in order to get the votes because we of a 13yearold girl, we were dont have enough republican all in on getting this done. Votes to do this without them. So, when you look at the the Barron County sheriff in wisconsin says someone called 911 from inside the home on monday. There were sounds of a disturbance but police do not think that the 13yearold girl was the person who called 911. Sandra have police indicated whether the young girl was involved with anyone or if anyone would want to harm her . So far police have not indicated whether this young girl had some type of boyfriend or someone stalking her. Police are questioning all her classmates and her friends and investigators have really not offered up a lot of information in this mystery, including why jaymes parents might have been murdered in their home. I will not interrupt this investigation for anybody to have any information that is not necessary except for the essential people behind me and their staff and i wont give out any information. Jayme was last seen at a Family Gathering on sunday. Sandra matt finn, well surely continue to follow that story. Bill President Trump praising the stock market and taking aim at the Federal Reserve. Watch it go. Its all green. Sandra finished with highs. Bill why he argues the fed is the biggest threat to his economic plans as we await the market to open two minutes away today. Sandra israel retaliating after a rocket launch from the gaza trip destroys an israeli home. A live report from the scene. Bill after being detained for two years in turkey Pastor Andrew Brunson is telling his story. Mark walker, who represents brunsons home district, will join us to talk about that coming up shortly next, live. Part of that time it was a very crowded cell and part of the time i was also in isolation. So it was a very difficult time. I was isolated by culture and by language but especially by religion. It was very difficult to be the only christian among them. Billions of mouths. Billions of problems. Morning breath . Garlic breath . Stinky breath . Theres a therabreath for you. Therabreath fresh breath oral rinse instantly fights all types of bad breath and works for 24 hours. So you can. Breathe easy. Theres therabreath at walmart. Sandra all right. Half past 9 00 a. M. On the east coast. Markets are officially open after a huge rally yesterday. Stocks rising sharply after the release of some strong Quarterly Results from some of the Biggest Companies in america. The dow surging more than 500 points with the strongest rally seen in seven months. Different story this morning a minute half into trading. The dow has opened down 130 points. The president is slamming those Rising Interest Rates that have been of concern to some investors saying the Federal Reserve poses the biggest threat to his presidency. President trump there is no inflation or anything in this country. There is no the inflation is very low. My biggest threat is the fed because the fed is raising rates too fast and it is independent so i dont speak to them. Im not happy with what he is doing. It is going too fast. You look at the last inflation numbers, theyre very low. Sandra fascinating to watch. As a businessman, as the president in the white house. So its fascinating to watch the markets and see him commenting on things like inflation. Bill he talks about the fed and interests rates. We had a number about u. S. Home construction dropping more than five points. Thats what is reflecting in the comment. Charles payne is working the payne effect to great effect. He will join us next hour to join us whether the president is on to something with the feds. Sandra it rose all the way through his new show. Bill two days in a row. Sandra we look forward to him. Bill fox news alert. Tensions in the middle east. Israel ordering air strikes on the gaza strip after a rocket fired out of gaza hit a home in southern israel. There is a lot of damage. Trey is in israel with more from there. Good morning, bill. A house here in the Southern City was destroyed last night after a rocket was fired from the gaza strip. According to neighbors a mother and three children were home at the time and made it to a safe room within the house and there was a rocket fired toward tel aviv last night. It went into the sea. There were a series of air strikes into gaza last night killing one militant said to be of a rogue brigade. Not from hamas. The house behind me has been completely destroyed, as you can see. A rocket going into the top part of the house and the entire house destroyed. Twostory house and even the house next door across a walkway taking a lot of shrapnel. Right now there are conversations happening in gaza with an egyptian delegation trying to get a settlement deal between the hamas and israelis. Hamas denied they sent over the rocket saying it was a different brigade from the gaza strip and they said theyre unwilling to work closely with the israelis unless they see the blockade lifted on the gaza strip and it could lead to more problems in the region. Sandra freed american Pastor Andrew Brunson speaking out after his longawaited release from turkey recounting his time in prison and also the moment he got to pray with the president upon his return. It seemed that there was no way out and i lost a lot of hope. What helped me, i began to see that there was value in my suffering, especially as time went on when we learned we would be able to visit him in the white house we prayed together, my wife and i and asked god to give us that opportunity to pray for the president. And it is a great privilege. I think many pastors would love to do it and our president needs prayer. Sandra republican congressman mark walker is from brunsons home district in North Carolina and joins us now. Congressman, what was it like to see pastor brunson return back home . It was really a moment of celebration. I heard him say that yesterday that quote, i began to see the value in my suffering. In a world and even in our country where there is so much Political Division and to see someone live out their Christian Faith like that is an example for us all. Sandra he talked about the suffering he went through but he found value in that suffering while he waited this out. He didnt know how long he was going to be there. He returns home a miraculous story alongside his wife. He was on fox this morning talking about that moment in the oval office with the president and the opportunity to pray with the president. What did you think about that moment . I thought it was a very special moment. Think about the contrast of weeks earlier being forced into a prisonlike cell with 21 other people that should have only had eight. So you go from that setting being in a very difficult situation to now you are sitting praying over the president of the United States in the oval office. As a person of faith and a former pastor myself, i think its just something that we can celebrate how god can work out what looks like to be a hopeless situation but he often uses and chooses people that arent the most bombastic people like pastor brunson who allowed his faith to shine through and jackie, his daughter, a few months ago we met her at the capitol and had her meet with people. Her hope was her father have the chance to walk her down the aisle at her wedding. Sandra in the statement you released soon after pastor brunsons release you said near the end this needs to be the endpoint for the many acts of aggression for turkey. Will it be . What do our relations look like Going Forward . Well, as most of your viewers know we have other americans caught up being accused in the part of the revolution that happened last year. We have no evidence that any of that is true. But i will tell you the president does deserve some credit. They have not negotiated this. They havent backed off on this. They have used their platforms he and the Vice President and i believe thats part of the reasons weve had success in bringing home another 18 prisoners or People Killed in captivity. I believe well see this administration have more success in those areas by continuing to hold the strong and firm stances. Sandra meanwhile on the issue of immigration i want to ask you about this because we have now seen the president threaten to cut Financial Aid to honduras over the large group of migrants heading toward the u. S. Border. The president tweeted this we have today informed the countries of honduras, guatemala and el salvador if they allow their citizens through their borders to enter the u. S. Illegally all payments to them will stop. End. What did you make about that warning coming from President Trump . I think that warning and that kind of stance is long overdue, sandra. Were talking about 538 million over half a billion dollars that we send in aid. Were happy to do that but there has to be a standard. Our country takes in one million legal immigrants. Most people that i hope would look at this from a common sense perspective understand that we have to have some balance there and why the wall needs to be built and why we need funding for Border Security. We cannot continue to have this influx. Ive worked in the refugee camps both as a pacongress. Doesnt mean were any less compassionate but we have to honor the laws we have in this country. Sandra its clearly an issue that is very close to you and important to you, congressman. And of course on the return of pastor brunson im sure your state and the residents of your state are still celebrating that. Thank you for coming on the program to talk about it this morning. Good to have you. Thank you, sandra. Bill 20 minutes now before the hour. Great playoffs cooking up a fall classic Major League Baseball last night. Boston red sox got a big win over the houston astros. A grand slam in the eighth inning. 82 on the road. Sox lead the series 21. National league we go. The l. A. Dodgers pull off a marathon victory. They rallied in the 13th to even up the series with milwaukee. Two games apiece. Both series will continue tonight. Sandra you know, i think i picked the brewers. Bill theyve had a good year, good team. Its not over. I hope both those series go seven games. I think for baseball sandra is that a prediction . Bill no. A soft prediction. For baseball if you get the l. A. Dodgers and the Boston Red Sox in the world series. Good luck to milwaukee and houston as well. Good teams cooking up there. Sandra were watching for this story. Trying to find survivors in the devastation left behind by hurricane michael. A live report on their efforts and the Recovery Process in florida. The diplomatic stakes with saudi arabia are high and lawmakers skeptical about the u. S. s relationship with that nation. What changes now . We speak to someone who met the missing columnist several times. Thats coming up. This all originated from the crown prince. Im convinced of that. The president needs to be measured, i get that. But the world is watching us. Antacids here. Here. Or, here. Kick your antacid habit with prilosec otc. One pill a day, 24 hours, zero heartburn. Ito address my fellow veterans, because i know so many of you have served our country honorably.

With automatic authority from the va, we can say yes when banks say no. Give us a call. Call now 18553761361. You dont have to be Sherlock Holmes to figure this out. This is the most disrespectful thing ive ever seen toward a president of the United States. He has done everything he could to help saudi arabia and this is the way you are repaid . He is a strong man, President Trump. This will not go unanswered. Bill graham connecting the Saudi Crown Prince to the case saying he should no longer be in power. Shadi hamid has known the missing columnist. Do you agree with senator graham theyve put the u. S. President and this administration in a tricky spot . Go ahead and explain that. Yes, add Lindsey Graham has said we have done quite a lot for saudi arabia. Trump has given the saudi leadership a lot of deference to do things that are quite frankly problematic. The yemen war has been destructive, an ongoing crackdown on dissidents. Trump has seen saudi arabia as a lynch pin of a new middle east strategy. As graham said this is how they repay us. There is a sense if we extend goodwill to saudi arabia, then they put us in this very compromising situation. Not just the president but all americans. We do have values and to see Something Like this happen in such a brazen way, the apparent killing of a journalist in a consulate i think it just shows that saudi arabia is becoming more reckless and it raises a question can we really count on them if they go around doing this sort of thing. Bill that was probably part of the trip that mike pompeo went there for. First in saudi arabia and then turkey. What would he set out to accomplish on that trip . That is really an interesting question because if you look at the pictures yesterday for me at least they werent very encouraging. We have these pictures of secretary pompeo smiling and grinning with the young crown Prince Mohammed bin salman. Thats not the photo op that you want when a country has been accused of killing a journalist. You want to look a little more stern and serious but also you want to come out with something. Pompeos comments afterwards he said that the saudis were not willing to get into the facts or the details. Then what was he going there for . All the saudis have really talked about is investigating it on their own side. If theyre the ones who were involved in the murder, then how are they the ones who will lead the investigation . It should be it shouldnt be them. Them owe come up with something that makes bill the other thing pompeo said they assured him they would hold whoever accountable accountable. Lets see where it goes not to get too far ahead of the story. Rand paul wrote an interesting piece. He says its time to use our leverage before it has changed in the kingdom of saudi arabia. We can start by cutting off military aid and weapons sales to the kingdom. I dont know if that is going to happen but if thats an option if this goes the way many have theorized, is that where it goes . Yeah. So i dont think any of us are calling for ending the relationship with saudi arabia. We do work with them on any number of issues. The bigger concern here is how do we put leverage on them. You have to put you have to suggest something. You have to propose something. One of the key points of leverage is arms sales to saudi arabia. Saudi arabia is very dependent on us for military support. Not just arms sales but spare parts, logistical support. The list is long. The Saudi Arabian air force would be grounded overnight if the u. S. Completely withdrew support. Not to say we should do that but in negotiation, trump is supposed to be a good negotiator, then you have to put the leverage. You have to say well, this is on the table instead of taking it off the table from the getgo. Bill lets see what happens. I think the next phase in this story is what pompeo says when he lands back here in the u. S. , which will happen later today. Thank you for your time today. Out of washington, d. C. , shadi hamid, thank you. Sandra President Trump backing Michigan Senate candidate john james in the final weeks before the midterm elections in the hopes of flipping that seat blue to red. John james is on deck. He joins us next. President trump i think we have a lot of enthusiasm. I keep hearing about the enthusiasm, the blue wave. But i think we have tremendous enthusiasm. Sandra President Trump voicing his support for Michigan Republican Senate Candidate john james who is looking to flip Debbie Stabenows seat from blue to red. The president tweeting john james is making headway in michigan and were bringing jobs back to the state and people appreciate. Stabenow has not been help. James is a star. Polls are tightening. Lets bring in john james now. Good morning to you and thanks for coming on the program. Thanks for having me back. Sandra how important is President Trumps support a few weeks out from the midterms . Well, having the support of the president is an honor. Im looking forward to representing the people of the state of michigan first. Im looking forward to prioritizing god and country in that order and the president is very supportive of this and recognizes how important michigan is to the entire union and he also recognizes that in order to make sure we move our country forward, michigan must lead. Senator stabenow has been leading from behind for her 43year career. She got elected in 1975, the year the vietnam war ended and she has collected 4 million from the taxpayers in that time and been senator for 18 years and got five bills passed into law. She is hyper partisan. She is all check and no balance. Sandra we heard a bit of the debate sunday and monday. Ill show you the real clear politics average of this race right now. Keep in mind that this is the average of polls before those debates took place. But it does show Debbie Stabenow in the lead 54 . You are trailing at 37 1 2 , john. How hopeful are you that you can flip this seat blue to red . Very hopeful. I put my hope in the lord and the thing is the result is not up to us but the race is. But the thing is the momentum that were feeling. We cut that lead in half. The most recent poll shows me in Single Digits nine points and doubled her up in fundraising. Our 3. 6 to her 1. 8. Well have the resources down the stretch. People with our message is resonating. Not a black or white message but a red, white and blue message. We need leadership in washington that will bring us together to bring resources back to the state of michigan. I look forward to my leadership that i learned on the battlefield and business to represent well. Stabenow. She has broken promises. I asked her why should we believe you now . Sandra here she is on the debate stage. Listen. Frankly, in these times, i believe this is a time for experience. This is not a time for inexperience when it is so difficult to be able to move through things and get things done. Sandra thats what she is saying about you, inexperienced. How do you plan to cut into her lead . There is no excuse. She has been there 18 years. We need to have somebody who can get results and not put 11th hour legislation out there. I will make sure we bring balance and results and people are sick and tired of being sick and tired. She is part of the establishment that we have the momentum and well win this thing in november. Sandra the president tweeting about this race. Well follow up. We reached out to Debbie Stabenow and invited her on the program. Well see if we can get her on.

Good morning, everyone. Welcome to a brandnew hour of americas newsroom. Bill im bill hemmer, good morning. Pompeo meeting with turkish and saudi leaders on his trip overseas two weeks after Jamal Khashoggi vanished during a visit to the saudi consulate in istanbul. The saudi government denying it killed the writer on part of a crackdown on dissidents. Here is secretary pompeo before he have left the ground. Going to conduct a thorough, complete, transparent investigation. They made a commitment to hold anyone connected to any wrongdoing that may be found accountable for that whether they are senior officer, official. They promised accountability. Bill Benjamin Hall live again from istanbul for the latest on whats happening today. Hey, ben. Hi, bill. Turkish forensic teams have just arrived at the saudi counsels residence here. One of the key spots where one of the vans came to following khashoggis disappearance at the consulate. Trying to find out what happened to him. Secretary pompeo arrived today from saudi arabia straight from riyadh and told that the king and bin salman said there would be an investigation but made no mention of possible repercussions. They made a commitment they would show the entire world the results of their investigation. In turkey secretary pompeo met the foreign minister and president erdogan at the airport. In details about those talks. Now turkish officials have disclosed further details of a gruesome operation involving interrogations, torture and they say saudi agents killed khashoggi in seven minutes and hacked him to bits. There are audio recordings of it and say one of the suspects identified and who entered with a suspected hit squad two weeks ago is a former bodyguard of crown prince bin salman. They say all the people pictured in the cctv have been arrested and being interrogated in saudi arabia. The saudi investigation is picking up steam as well. Still no idea where Jamal Khashoggi is or what happened to him. Bill ben hall in istanbul. Sandra lets go to our headliner Newt Gingrich former speaker of the house and fox news contributor. What do you make of the president s handling of this situation with saudi arabia . Well, i think he is in a difficult situation because the iranians, for example, would love for us to separate ourselves from saudi arabia. But the israelis and others all realize that this is a very, very important ally of ours. I think the step one is exactly what secretary pompeo is doing. We have to get to the bottom of this. If it does turn out to be somebody very close to the crown prince, i think the crown prince will be in very substantial trouble. That doesnt mean that we are going to break relations with saudi arabia but it does mean well find ways to take steps to communicate very intensely that we just dont accept this when the russians poison people in britain and we would not accept it if the saudis killed a journalist in turkey. Step one to get the facts. Theyre working at it. Secretary pompeo got a strong pledge. Well see if the saudis follow through. Bill and what pompeo says when he comes back. Lets talk about the midterms. There is a piece out there about republicans getting pretty taken on the money side. There is some other stories that counter and say the rnc is doing just fine. Where do you see at the moment us going on november 7th . Let me just warn that all of the socalled experts on television who were wrong in 2016 are back this year as confident as they were when they were totally wrong in 2016. Nancy pelosi yesterday gave the republicans the greatest gift she could have given them. Her quotes at harvard in which she explained you dont really need borders. After all, you ought to be friends with everyone and wanting to have a wall is a macho thing. That is as clear a statement of the insanity of the open borders Democratic Party as we could possibly get. And when combined with senator feinstein, both of them of course from San Francisco, having introduced a bill in the senate for open borders, supported by the way cosponsored by every single democrat in the senate. I think if thats our choice i think that we have a i think we have a very real chance here. Bill i think youre hearing Something Else in your ear. If the republicans double down and focus on kevin mccaruthers ears bill to allow us to control the border and compare that with the Pelosi Feinstein position of totally open borders at a time when you have a caravan of thousands of people coming out of Central America and then the american citizens can decide do you want sanctuary cities . You want ms13 . You want fentanyl and opioids and an unending flood of immigrants from all over the planet . Vote democrat. And on the other hand if you think america has the right to control its border, vote republican. Sandra it sounds like thats the issue the president is pushing at this moment. Considering the last two tweets from him have been on that talking about those caravans saying democrats wont approve legislation that allows laws for the protection of our country. Great midterm issue for republicans. Moments ago he says republicans must make the horrendous weak and outdated immigration laws and border a part of the midterms. This looks like the latest push. I think thats exactly right. When you say to the average american we have a democratic candidate for governor stacy abrams in georgia who basically would make all the georgia a sanctuary state. You have candidate for governor in california, democrat who said he wants to have universal healthcare paid by the government and wants it to apply to Illegal Immigrants. That would make california the magnet for the planet. If you have a sickness move to california and theyll take care of you. This is a core choice. Is america a country that has the right to protect itself and to define who comes in, or is america now going to be just an open system where everybody on the planet can come here . Thats how big the choice is going to be by election day. I think the democrats will lose that debate by a huge margin. Bill lets go to trish regans interview with the president last night. The sound bite from the president and an a. P. Quote as well. President trump i think well do really well. Look, i dont want to make predictions. We have great poll numbers and tremendous turnouts at the rallies. Thousands of people more than we can hold. Enthusiasm like we had at 2016, the last election. Quite a spectacular day and evening. I think we have a lot of enthusiasm. I keep hearing about the enthusiasm, the blue wave. But i think we have tremendous enthusiasm. Bill he will be in montana, nevada and arizona this week. If democrats win the house, if nancy pelosi is speaker, how much have you stopped to consider how this president would work with democratic leadership in the house . What would that look like . How do you work with a person that says she wants to impeach you, who despises everything you stand for, and who represents a San Francisco hard left worldview in a party which is becoming the socialist party of america . I think it would be a very contentious bill gridlock . On the house side. On the senate side the republicans will gain senate seats. I think Kevin Mccarthys bill is an important step in the right direction to control our borders. I think the odds are increasingly good the republicans will keep their majority in the house and i went through this in 2016. I was on a show two weeks to the day before somebody said to me if you lose the senate and you lose the presidency did you pick the wrong guy . I said were two weeks out and you are assuming . I would say right now on the issues, republicans have a chance to have a historic election night. Keep the house, increase the senate and have the defendant totally shocked. Sandra the president is already preparing for if the republicans do lose the house he says it wont be on me. Here he is in an a. P. Interview. Its a quote. Here is what he says on that. Its a tough year, the midterms are tough for everybody opposite of president for whatever reason nobody has been able to say. A. P. Asks the question if republicans were to lose control of the house or a couple days later depending how long it takes to count the votes do you believe you wear some responsibility for that . He said no, i think im helping people. What do you make of that . First of all the president came out and pointed out the a. P. Headline was totally wrong and misleading. What he said is exactly right. I dont remember any president who has campaigned harder and he is adding more rallies by the day. I think he will have gotten to 50 rallies by the time of the election. So he is doing his job. He has also raised a tremendous amount of money. He is doing his job. Now the candidates have to do their jobs. It is fair for him to say, you know, its not this is not purely a referendum on trump but the premise is wrong. I would not until i would not concede losing the house for one minute. I think that we have i think we have the issues on our side, jobs versus mobs, results versus resistance, conservative judges versus radicals, and controlling the border versus open borders. I think this is going to be a very surprising election night. Bill he went on to tweet about that. By the way, at that point if we keep the house, if we keep the house does the New York Times have to say that trump won . Bill guess so. Stand by for that. A. P. Headline was different from my quote. They cant help themselves. Fake news. How much is a trump referendum . How much do you think it really is about him . I think less than people would have expected two months ago. The issues are increasingly important. The country understands on the kavanaugh fight and the way in which now Justice Kavanaugh was lied about, smeared, had character assassination, the childish behavior of the democratic senators, the imagery of left wing radicals scratching at the doors of the Supreme Court. It has galvanized the country and made the issue bigger. Which kind of america do you want . I was just . Seattle, dallas, des moines. People were worried about the country. They just werent worried about the president. They were more fired up than i ever remember seeing them. Bill interesting. Sir, thank you for your time. Come on back real soon. We have 20 days here, the final sprint. Thank you. Got a fox news alert. Hurricane michael. Search and rescue teams continue and looking for the dead continue to rise. 120,000 people are still without power. Rick leventhal is in panama city. Rick, good morning. We were in this garden city neighborhood last week and couldnt get to this intersection because there were so many trees blocking the street. You can see they have cleared the roads now and the primary sound were hearing are chain saws and generators and a crane in the distance moving big trees out of someones yard. This homeowner right here was not home when the storm hit. He had nine trees come down on his property and five of them landed on the house. You can probably see tarps on the roof. He is trying to repair the damages. And he still doesnt have power. He has a generator. You can see the lines are down in this neighborhood. Running water back here about 50 of this county, bay county, still doesnt have power and they wont for a while until they can rebuild the infrastructure. Phillip is the homeowner. Tell me what your primary focus is now. Right now since we got the trees off of the house, were just trying to secure the house, make sure there is no further damage. Get the trees away from the exact perimeter of the house. Finish covering the house up on the end. The damage is there. When you came home and saw this, what was that like for you . We didnt know what to think. We had neighbors already sent photos to us from out of town and we knew sort of what to expect but the interior of the house had no idea. We knew our pets were alive and knew our parents were alive and our neighbors were good. Peoples wellbeing was the primary focus and we knew we would be okay no matter what the house really looked like. Were pleased at what we saw. It was not as bad as it could have been. Good luck with all the work you have to do. Thank you for talking to us. Bill, they have a lot of problems here including schools. There are seven counties where the schools still arent open and they dont know when theyll reopen the schools. Theyre trying to get the infrastructure back up. Bill a lot of long days to come ahead. Sandra meanwhile secretary of state mike pompeo just speaking moments ago meeting with turkish leadership over the disappearance of that saudi columnist. What he is now saying.

Sandra a short time ago secretary of state mike pompeo making comments after fresh meetings with turkish officials over the disappearance of Jamal Khashoggi, here is what he said. They want to complete their investigation and the theyll have a process. Im sure they will have their own prosecutors looking into this as well since it took place in their country albeit on consulate property. [inaudible question] i dont have anything to say about that. [inaudible question] mr. Khashoggi is missing. [inaudible question] we have two countries conducting investigations. Theyll do that and the world will see the facts they turn up during their investigation. How high up does it go . I know you are going to ask questions. Im going to be very particular. Well give them the space to complete their investigations of this incident and when they issue their reports well form our judgment about thoroughness, depth and decisions they make about accountability connected to that. [inaudible question] well see what the investigation shows. [inaudible question] you mean with the turks today . I think i said all im going to say about the conversation with the saudis. Look, we had very direct conversations about this. The seriousness of this and how serious President Trump is taking this and how serious the United States will take this. No one should mistake that we are looking to see the results of these investigations, too. We think its important that they get them right and were hopeful it will happen quickly as well. But as for responses that the United States will take, we need to know the facts before we can begin to formulate what the appropriate response to this would be. Sandra you were listening there to mike pompeo making comments on the investigation, the Ongoing Investigation into the missing saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi. He earlier said talking about the importance of that investigation, complete it in a timely fashion. We received commitments they would complete this and im counting on them to do that. What you just heard from him there, do the investigation, give them the space they need to complete this and then well make some decisions based on that. Mike pompeo really sharing with all of us he wants to see how it plays out before he says anymore. Bill should be back in the u. S. Sometime around 6 00 eastern time tonight. More to come when that happens. In the meantime the economy. Your pain is mine for the first time in a decade the World Economic forum says the u. S. Economic is the most competitive in the world. U. S. A. , u. S. A. First time in 10 years, baby. Weve propelled back to the top of the heat. This is an offshoot of the u. N. They have four major categories. Where we really do well they revamped it to be up to date going on with the current world economy. Marketplace number one with labor. Our workforce, no one can beat our workforce here. President trump talks about that all the time. Financial markets number one in the world. Business dynamism. I love that part. Business dynamism. We talk about awakening the animal spirit. The business dynamism. It was dormant and came back to life first with Small Businesses and now across the board. Number one there. Innovation capacity were number two, size of market only smaller than china. Amazing things inside this report. Very optimistic. Again first time weve been number one. Bill dow is off 200 today. Yesterday was a boomer. Last night he says his number one opponent for lack of a better word is the fed. Here is what the president said. President trump my biggest threat is the fed because the fed is raising rates too fast. It is independent so i dont speak to them but im not happy with what he is doing. Its going too fast. You look at the last inflation numbers. Theyre very low. Bill so you look at the economic number, new Home Construction is off more than five points. They blame it on Rising Interest Rates. So that kind of goes to the point he is mange. What do you think . Also Mortgage Applications were down 7 . Thats a huge decline. Theyve been down 8 of the last 10 weeks. Thats an important part of our economy. You could argue its even more important than the stock market when it comes to the wealth effect. When we have homes worth a lot of money and know that we can sell them or live in them or pass them on we really feel good about that. Bill his point is the fed will screw this up. He has a valid point. I think a lot of people. For me thats been my greatest fear all along. You know, one of the more famous economists said lets not forget the fed has derailed the stock market rally and created a recession 11 of the last 12 recessions was started by Federal Reserve mismanagement. Everyone is afraid the fed will mess it up. What i will say what ive seen from jay powell so far, the fed chairman, has been pretty good. The actions or idea that well automatically raise rates three or four times next year, maybe they shouldnt be telegraphing Something Like that until they get the actual data in. There is no signs of real inflation. The Housing Market looks weak. The auto sector has peaked. There are enough weak areas in our economy you dont want to tinker with it too much and derail it. Sandra you have to ask yourself the question when youve seen a rally that lasted this long and a market this hot, what will give it its next leg up, Charles Payne . Were in the earnings season. Netflix last night, united health, united airlines, you know, as long as the economy is going extraordinarily well and growing it justifies the higher stock market. In fact, the market is really cheaper now than it was in january. So i think the fed i think they look at other factors but i am concerned about the Federal Reserve. I think trump is right to be worried about it. He is unorthodox. Most president most president s are afraid the Federal Reserve. The first president bush blamed Alan Greenspan for costing him the election. President s are always away what the fed is doing. Thats the only entity out there with as much power. Weve been rocking and rolling, 2 for 2. Sandra you better own it, Charles Payne. You have to own it on the way down, too. Watch the show at 2 00. Sandra great show. President trump with a warning to several Central American nations as a caravan of Illegal Immigrants heads north toward the u. S. Border, plus this. Just win, baby. Bill nancy pelosi planning a return to speaker if democrats retake the house in november. Why members of her own party could be standing in her way. Thats something well talk to Donna Brazile about next hour. Looking forward to seeing her. Come on back after this. Sandra a caravan of migrants from Central America slowly making its way to our southern border as President Trump is holding their home countries responsible tweeting out this. The United States has strongly informed the president of honduras that if the large caravan of people heading to the u. S. Is not stopped and brought back to honduras no more money or aid will be given to honduras effective immediately. William la jeunesse has more on this. Last night the president expanded that threat to include el salvador and guatemala saying if this caravan is allowed to travel through their country all u. S. Payments to them will stop. Currently the u. S. Gives honduras 130 million. 300 million to guatemala and 75 million to el salvador. History tells us if this caravan makes it to the u. S. Border they will be allowed in. Thats the law. Recall in april 300 Central Americans arriving in tijuana claiming asylum. The u. S. Processed and released each family and congress has shown no willingness to change the law. According to a. P. And reuters this caravan crossed into guatemala guatemala swelling from 150 to more than 2,000 now pushing past two police barriers. Their next stop would be mexico. The reason for being part of this march is to be part of the american dream. To improve ourselves again for our children, for our family. Moving as a group makes sense. Safety in numbers, no smuggling fee. Theyre very visible. Under International Law refugees claiming the credible fear of persecution are supposed to file their asylum claim in the first country they set foot. In some cases mexico. That rule is widely ignored. They talk about credible fear. If theyre leaving honduras because theyre fearful of that country whether the government or criminal gangs, they go through guatemala, el salvador and mexico before they get to the u. S. How credible is that fear . The u. S. Has offered to pay mexico to stop and deport Central Americans from that border. Now the u. S. Is taking in Central Americans each month and cannot under the law turn them away. Back to you. Sandra thank you. Bill midterms 20 days away, nancy pelosi making it clear she would trade absolutely nothing to give President Trump a border wall. Americas ateam adrienne elrod, mill mcgurn and brad blackman. No suit for you, brad. Not going to happen. She said this, too. She was at harvard taking questions about immigration and the wall. Watch. My view its immoral, expensive, ineffective and not something people do between countries. But in any event, it happens to be a manhood issue for the president. I think its an issue whether youre a man or woman an issue of mortality and sovereignty. The fact is, you know, pelosi is against walls. She has a huge wall aroupd her mansion. She is surrounding by bodyguards and flies around on a jet. The fact of the matter is we as a nation must have secure borders. We wouldnt have by the way three weeks before an election a caravan coming . You talk about collusion. Foreign countries are trying to create a crisis. Sandra how is this issue playing with your party . There is bipartisan opposition for a wall. We know that. Democrats have made it very clear since donald trump took the presidency we will concede that we will provide more funding for Border Security but we think a wall is a waste of money. Third, i want to make this point. There is fema funding that is desperately needed now in florida. Fema funding would go into potentially building a wall. Do we want to build a wall thats not necessary or do we want to help the victims of the hurricane in florida . Look, i think Speaker Pelosi aspiring Speaker Pelosi. She called it a manhood issue. Its a Campaign Issue. But it was the Campaign Issue for the president. If you asked people that didnt Pay Attention to politics what they identified donald trump with, they would say the wall. I think he has to insist on it. It will be interesting if the democrats take the house because i think it will make funding for the wall very, very difficult. The president , you know, he has done a lot of things is going to do including the things i dont like on say trade. This isnt going away. As far as this caravan is going, i wouldnt think democrats would want this three weeks before the midterms because i just think that the lawlessness is what excites americans, upsets them. A lot of people i would like a more generous immigration policy but you cant form a caravan and come barreling through our borders. Sandra tough to tell how it will play out. It is. One thing for sure. This was created a crisis by others in order to create an influence our midterm elections. Countries like guatemala, honduras, mexico. They couldnt get to our borders without the complicity of mexico. I think the president needs to take a tough stand. Promises made, promises kept is his campaign slogan. I want a secure border. Democrats claim we dont have enough money. They find money for everything else. The fact is this is not a want, its a need. By the way, republicans are in charge now of the house and senate and white house and theyll be in charge the end of this year. If they want to pass a wall go for it. They know they cant. Theyre in bipartisan opposition to this. Bill 20 days from the midterm election. There are some suggestions that democrats are getting off message at a time when Elizabeth Warren came out with a dna test and dominated the news for 24 hours. Hillary clinton had this interview on cbs sunday and went like this, watch. In retrospect do you think bill should have resigned in the wake of the Monica Lewinsky scandal . Absolutely not. Not an abuse of power . No. People who looked at the incidents of the 90 and they say the president of the United States cannot have a consensual relationship with an intern. She was an adult. Bill democrats are saying say it for a month from now. Her husband was on several weeks before on a sunday show. Did not get one question about the metoo movement. Secretary clinton gets 11 questions. So thats one thing to keep in mind. Number two women need to quit feeling like they have to constantly apologize for mistakes their husbands made. Furthermore, i want to get into Elizabeth Warren. We have to keep in mind she is in cycle now on the ballot. Doesnt have a tough race in massachusetts but she is running and looks like she is running for president. Bill give it a couple weeks, why do it now . Just a minor correction on that. She didnt apologize for her husband. In fact, she asserted what he did was not an abuse. Thats why she continues to get questions because her position is so in contradiction with all the other why does she have to apologize for her husband . She is asked a question. She doesnt have to apologize. She doesnt consider it is problem what i get from the interview. She said it is not an abuse for a man as powerful as the president of the United States to be hitting on an intern. That happened 25 years ago litigating it time and time again. The question is why do the interview now . Chill out for a month and no one is talking about it. Democrats are haunted by the ghosts of democrats past. Bill clinton and Hillary Clinton are the worst thing the democrats can have out there. Worse only second to the new generation of democrats, the socialist democrats. I remember a time when if you called a democrat a socialist they were angry. There is a real identity Crisis Brewing within the Democratic Party. What do you stand for . Do you like that Hillary Clinton is putting herself out there representing your party . Absolutely. Look, there are places where she can go and be a very effective surrogate and thats what she is doing on the campaign trail. She wont go to places where somebody like her or another national surrogate like president obama can go in and have a negative impact. She will go to campaign where she can be effective. Bill Heidi Heitkamp put out an ad that identified some people who were supposed victims of Sexual Assault and they werent. Her statement i deeply regret the mistake and in the process of reissuing a retraction. Personally apologize to people like this and to ensure this never happens again. When you put the three events together in three days it throws you off message. To each of you, do you have a prediction now where we are in three weeks . My impression is the republicans will be okay in the senate. May even pick up a seat or two. The democrats favor the republicans and have for a while. In the house its a lot different. I think the republicans are fighting an uphill battle. They can still pull it out but its uphill. Well hold the senate. As far as the house is concerned i think we can defy history and keep a majority in the house. I think we take back the house. I still want to consider the senate to be in play. I think it will be close. I think we can take back the senate. Bill new predictions in one week. Sandra thank you all.

Whether or not you are for or against affirmative action it is important to see how its negatively impacted Asian American groups. You can be critical of harvard. Sandra students reacting to the ongoing trial challenging the admissions policies at one of the most Prestigious Ivy League schools in the country saying they put a quota on Asian American applicants. Defense attorney bob bianchi joins us now to lay it out for whats happening. It has implications for our universities across the country. Its huge. Start with wonky constitutional law. The equal protection clause of the 14th amendment says the government cant pass any law that discriminates based on race, sex, national origin, etc. How is affirmative action allowed . Earlier decisions said so long as you dont have a quota system in the educational institutions, if you have to diversity you can have raceconscious admissions. Sandra day oconnor wrote an opinion that said eventually this is a bandaid, not a cure. When we get to a point where we have race thats equal or balanced we may need to overcome that because its a compelling state interest to have diversity but when you have that under the constitutional law you have to have strict scrutiny. Once the object is achieved you have to end it. Thats what the case is about. Minority people are indicated theyre being discriminated based on these policies. One last thing that i think is really important. At this point in time over 50 of the students at harvard are minorities. So i think there is a very good argument with the change of the Supreme Court with justices gorsuch and new Justice Kavanaugh that we will have a scenario where theyll say the balance has been achieved. No longer a compelling state interest and time to revisit if affirmative action is appropriate. The court can go into harvard and say well be narrow, we feel this particular policy at harvard is problematic but not overcome the entire affirmative action program. I think when you have Justice Scalia was gone. He was the last decision made in 2016. And in that one was a white woman who indicated she was discriminated because she was more qualified as an applicant. The 54 decision. Now you have two new conservative justices. Watch out. Sandra there is no hard and true way to come up with, by definition, whether or not discrimination exists here. You have economists coming up with different methods to say it does or does not, right . These individuals are trying to say and experts will be testifying and be an expert case that, of course, diversity in schools is good. No one would disagree with that. The question becomes from a constitutional point of view has the compelling state interest of diversity been met. If so, we can no longer under the 14th amendment and the equal protection clause, we can no longer discriminate against nonminority citizens because the goal has been achieved. Bill fascinating stories. 1600 freshmen out of 42,000 applications. A big sample. They have lots of people they can point to. The most compelling fact theyll point to is you have achieved the goal. Over 50 are minorities. The goal has been achieved. To continue policies that allow or disallow white people or nonminorities from getting in is no longer needed because the goal has been met. Bill interesting. Bob. Thanks for shaking that out for us. You think the plaintiff wins in this case . I think there will be a change. Sandra very revealing that harvard has to put forth their admissions data. What exactly is the key here . Bill second debate last night. Cruz and orourke in texas. Senators cruz will make up positions and votes that have never held or ive ever taken. It the clear his pollsters have told him to come out on the attack.

Thats the final time likely that theyll share the stage before voters head to the polls in a couple of weeks. Some name calling as you heard and also sparring on issues, everything from tariffs to immigration. Listen. That led the fight to secure the border building a wall, using technology, increasing boots on the ground. We can keep our communities safe. Congressman orourke not only opposes a wall, but he has said we have too many fences and walls already on the board and wants to tear down the ones we have. Senator john cornyn and i, were on policy together to invest in our ports of entry where more than 90 of everyone and everything that comes into the United States first crosses. Having a better idea of who and what comes into our country makes us safer. Republican incumbent senator ted cruz is fightsing to keep his senate seat. His message appears to be resonating. He is pulling ahead in most of the polls ahead by as much as nine points according to some. Congressman orourke came out of nowhere, junior congressman started giving him a run for his money and has been setting records with his fundraising totals bringing in 38 million alone in the last quarter. President trump even tweeting about this this morning bill saying he watched the debate saying that he supports senator cruz. Headed to texas next week for a big gop fundraiser.

Sandra fox news alert. Were now 30 minutes away from President Trumps Cabinet Meeting where he may have something to say about the case of that missing journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Welcome back to americas newsroom, im sandra smith. Hour three. Bill still here. Im bill hemmer, good morning. Mike pompeo en route to the u. S. Now after meetings in saudi arabia and turkey amid growing suspicions about saudi involvement in the disappearance of that columnist. Last seen going into the saudi consulate in istanbul about two weeks ago. Newt gingrich said this. He is in a difficult situation. The iranians, for example, would love for us to separate ourselves from saudi arabia. But the israelis and others all realize that this is a very, very important ally of ours. I think step one is exactly what secretary pompeo is doing. We have to get to the bottom of this. Frankly, if it does turn out to be somebody very close to the crown prince, i think the crown prince will be in very substantial trouble. Bill john roberts tracking this from the north lawn. Another day on this. Good day. Good morning. We may hear from the president at that Cabinet Meeting. We did hear from him speaking with our colleague Stewart Varney on the Fox Business Network a short time ago. The president going slow here being patient. Really giving saudi arabia the benefit of the doubt for the time being as he told Stewart Varney the relationship between the United States and saudi arabia is very important. Listen here. President trump i hope we will be on the better side of the equation. We need saudi arabia in terms of our fight against all of the terrorism and everything thats happening in iran and other places. The president also warning against a rush to judgment as to who might be responsible in an interview with the Associated Press late yesterday, the president saying quote, while i think we have to find out what happened first, you know, here we go again with, you know, you are guilty until proven innocent. I dont like that. We just went through that with Justice Kavanaugh and he was innocent all the way. The president spoke with the king of saudi arabia and the crown Prince Mohammed bin salman yesterday. The president told the Associated Press he got a strong denial of responsibility from both. The president saying when i spoke to the father, it just sounded to me like he felt he did not do it. He did not know about it and it sounded like the concept of rogue killers. But i dont know, i think the investigation will lead to an answer. Secretary mike pompeo is in talks with turkey. Leaving saudi arabia earlier today he said he got assurances from the saudi leadership they would conduct a full investigation. Listen here. They made a commitment to hold anyone connected to any wrongdoing that may be found accountable for that whether they are a senior officer, official. They promised accountability for each of those persons whom they determine as a result of their investigation has deserves accountability. According to an article in the New York Times today a number of the 15 suspects identified by turkish officials have ties to mohammed bin salman, the crown prince and other members of the royal family, including one man. Saudi sources say one is a member of saudi intelligence. A number of the other suspects are said to be members of the royal guard. Already, bill, this is getting pretty close to the saudi leadership. Bill john roberts, thank you from the north lawn. Sandra well see where it goes. More with bret baier. Where does this go . Not a good place. It does not seem like it is heading in the right direction. The administration waiting for facts, they say, and for the investigation to continue, which is prudent. There is a lot of information flying all over the place. However, you have lawmakers on capitol hill who are really pressing forward. Senator Lindsey Graham, senator marco rubio and others saying that you dont have to be Sherlock Holmes to figure out this case. And if it ties, as john mentioned, to Saudi Security services and directly to the crown prince, there will have to be repercussions in the administrations eyes. Sandra here is mike pompeo after meeting with the Saudi Crown Prince. Watch. I dont want to talk about any of the facts. They didnt want to, either. They want to have the opportunity to complete this investigation in a thorough way. And i think thats a reasonable thing to do to give them that opportunity. Then well all get to evaluate the work that they do. Sandra we have since heard similar words from pompeo after he had the meeting with turkish leaders saying lets let the investigation play out. Lets not make any decisions until we have the facts. Turkish officials are telling reporters on the ground they have audio tapes of this killing in the counsels office and the secretary of state was asked did you hear this audio tape and he said im not going to answer that question. Later state department Officials Say he had not heard the audio tape but wants to wait for the full investigation to be finished. Obviously thats prudent. You have, as i mentioned yesterday, three dimensional chess here. You move one piece and two other pieces move in the geopolitical complex issue of the middle east. Saudi arabia, iran, and other factors. Sandra yet the president has taken this dont rush to judgment approach, even comparing it to the Kavanaugh Hearing saying once again its guilty until proven innocent. What did you think about that by the president on this issue . You know, this is how he talks. And his state of mind, i think, was to wait until the investigation is finished. I think in some of the interviews since including with Stewart Varney just a short time ago, he is indicating that if the crown prince and or the king knew about it, that would be a very bad thing and thats where his determination lies. Telling the a. P. That its like judge kavanaugh was an interesting phrase. Sandra im looking at the words now from the president in that interview with Stewart Varney just a short time ago. He was asked by stewart not going to walk away from saudi arabia and the president did respond, bret, no, i do not want to do that. Talking about tremendous order. What will we do . Have had senators and congressmen say we shouldnt take the order. Biggest order for the outside military. A rough translation. I hope the king and mbs did not know about it. Thats a big factor in my eyes. Ill see him late tonight and tomorrow and find out referencing secretary of state mike pompeo regarding his meetings there. Thats the latest response from the president on this. Yeah. I think you have other world powers anxious to weigh into this as well. And as i mentioned, there is a lot on the line. That said, American Values and standing for what is right is also key in this moment. And thats what you are hearing from capitol hill. You are hearing concerns about changing the dynamics in the middle east and hearing concerns about what message it would send if we didnt do something. Sandra exactly that. If i could before i let you go ask you broadly speaking about the midterms. Hard to believe were getting this close. How are things shaping up . Whats the talk in washington it started to get frenzied. A lot of money in spread around and spent on ads and get out the vote efforts. If you were going to have the election today the house would probably go democratic. The senate would probably stay republican. There is a lot of time in 20 days for a lot of things to move and let alone the governors races that hinge in the balance. Sandra a long time noted. 20 days to go exact. Thats a long time in politics. Bret baier, well see you tonight at 6 00 p. M. For special report. Bill fox news alert from overcease, russian officials identifying the student suspect at a college in eastern crimea, a gunman killing 18 before turning the gun on himself. What happened here, amy . Hi, bill. A Mass School Shooting is an extremely rare occurrence in russia. And that is probably why authorities were quite quick to label it as a terrorist attack, something that is not so rare in russia. It got reclassified as a mass homicide when it turned out that it was a student, the sole attacker was a student where it happened. It happened just before noon local time today. There was an explosion that went off first. Device packed with metal fragments to maximize damage and harm went off in the cafeteria. Then the shooting which is what ultimately killed the victims. Mostly teens. But some teachers reportedly, too. The shooter identified by authorities as an 18yearold, he then killed himself and reportedly had a gun license. President putin expressed condolences to the families of the victims while meeting with the egyptian president and called for a moment of silence. There was conclusion early on about what happened. Initial reports were actually of a gas explosion in the school and it changed to terrorism and then to mass murder. It was hard to understand why a modest school on the edge of crimea had been targeted even though crimea is so hotly contested after its annexation by russia in 2014. The motives are the attack. The student is russian, they arent clear at this point. 18 killed, 40 wounded, six of them in very serious condition in area hospitals. Authorities are looking to see if the student had any help in planning this attack and if, in fact, at any time there were other shooters on campus. Initial eyewitness reports were of many masked men running around. That may have been invention in a moment of panic but they need to make sure it was not the case, bill.

President trump i hope we are going to be on the better side of the equation. We need saudi arabia in terms of our fight against all of the terrorism and everything thats happening in iran and other places. But iran has been the leader. I hope that the king and the crown prince didnt know about it. Thats a big factor in my eyes. I hope they havent. Mike pompeo just left and went to turkey. He is coming back late tonight. Im seeing him either tonight and tomorrow and well find out. Sandra brandnew reaction coming in with the situation with saudi arabia. The president stressing how important the nation is to the United States when it comes to the fight against terror. Its safe to say some key gop lawmakers do not feel the same. Senator cory gardner is a member of the Foreign Relations committee. Thank you for coming on and were all watching this story. Mike pompeo is letting us know the investigation is ongoing and were waiting for facts here. You just heard the president in the new fbn interview saying how important our relationship is with saudi arabia in the fight against terror. What happens next . It is a very important relationship but i also think the president made it clear that if the king knew about it or crown prince knew about it that would be very detrimental to the relationship and how it could impact the relationship. It is important to the president to know whether they had knowledge of this. Weve already triggered an investigation under the global magnitsky act. A torture standard weve put in place to look into the acts that would require a triggering of sanctions. This is an important relationship but we have to hold our allies and partners to standards that at least for now appear were not met. Sandra the president is urging patience in the matter saying i think we have to find out what happened first. He has even made a comparison to the Kavanaugh Hearings innocent until proven guilty. Is the president in your opinion taking the right approach on this matter . Look, i think the president understands the importance of this relationship. The president in the comments he made this morning also understands the damage that would be done to this relationship if king salman or the crown prince knew about what took place. I think we have to get the facts. We have to understand what happened. If there is exculpatory evidence and somebody who can get off the hook on this why hasnt that come forward . We certainly havent seen anything that would negate or lessen the fingers pointed right now at saudi arabia. This is a significant challenge. It is an important relationship. We do need to facts to act. We come to grips with the leaders around the world that arent exactly sweethearts but we dont necessarily have the same relationship with them that we do with saudi arabia. We have to get to the bottom of this. We need more information. The Intelligence Congress has seen isnt the newest or most information thats out there and i look forward to talking to secretary pompeo what he has found and to our Intelligence Community about what theyve discovered. Sandra Lindsey Graham has spoken out firmly and going as far as to say that saudi arabia is showing disrespect to the white house. Watch. I was the leading advocate for saudi arabia because they are a strategic ally and President Trump has been tremendous to the saudi the country of saudi arabia. This is the most disrespectful thing ive ever seen toward the president of the United States. He has done everything he could to help saudi arabia and this is the way you are repaid . He is a strong man, President Trump. This will not go unanswered. I dont think this is just disrespect to the president or the United States. This is disrespectful of human rights and disrespectful of what we expect peoples standards to be held to. There are a lot of questions we have to be asking saudi arabia right now. Issues regarding yemen and other issues regarding treatment within saudi arabia. Political prisoners, those kinds of things. This isnt just something knew we wake up and find out there may be one bad actions. There are a series of things we need answered. This is the most important and timely one to find out. Not just disrespect to the president but disrespectful to the dignity of humans around the world. If indeed saudi arabia is responsible for this. Sandra rand paul brings up a similar point in the oped on saudi arabia. Second call for it by the way on the atrocities in yemmens. The saudis have exported this ideology worldwide and committed war crimes in the yemen war. A war for which american taxpayers are being used as unwitting accomplices. It has killed tens of thousands and left 8 million more on the brink of famine in what calls the worlds worst humanitarian crisis, senator. This is one of the challenges that i mentioned that we have to get answers and direction in what is happening in saudi arabia. But i think what we need to do, recognize the role in the middle east saudi arabia plays. The relationship with israel. The relationship with egypt, the relationship with iran. We know iran continues to carry out destabilizing activities throughout the middle east. What we have to figure out is where the responsibility lies. As the president said, if that responsibility lies at the feet of the king or the crown prince, this relationship the United States has with saudi arabia will change. And it has to. Sandra sound like youre in the agreement with the president on that. Finally, rand paul went on in that piece. We dont have to show the whole thing. But he writes we can start by cutting off military aid and weapons sales to the kingdom. He is calling for that. Would you agree with that . Right now that has been delayed. There is a hold on i believe senator menendez now has a hold on the arms sales package thats going through or before congress right now. So i think this is going to be remaining on hold. We need to get information and we need to have the facts and this investigation carried out whether intelligence we can receive. I dont think youll see anything moving forward until we have answers. Sandra there is clearly a lot to learn here and were awaiting a lot more details after mike pompeos meetings and this investigation is ongoing. Thank you for your time this morning, senator.

He will visit the vatican and deliver an invitation from kim jongun asking the pope to come to north korea. Greg palkot picks up the story from there in london. Hey, greg. Yes, if the pope says yes, it would be a first. But we have seen some very unusual things happening from the korean peninsula. Dont rule it out. As with a lot of things in korea, a facilitator is the south korean president moon jaein. He met with the Prime Minister of italy and attending a mass at the vatican tonight. He is catholic. Tomorrow he will see pope francis and deliver that invitation from kim jongun. The vatican is not saying yet whether they will say yes but the pope is pretty independent minded. Thinking is he could go along with it. He got the invite from kim during their summit in pyongyang. No pope has ever visited north korea for a pretty good reason. Religion is basically banned in the countries. Leaders are the ones people are told to worship. Even if you are remotely associated with a church it could get you in trouble. Two of the three detainees which were freed following negotiations between north korea and the Trump Administration this year taught at a christianbacked university. Critics say that this is just one more way that kim jongun is trying to polish his global image while Still Holding back on giving up his nukes and missiles, which he has pledged to do in recent summits. The hope is perhaps that the pope could provide a push. The thinking is if it does happen, it might happen next spring. Well see. Sandra fox news alert.

Bill this fallout now from senator Elizabeth Warrens dna test. Now calling her out for her claims. Donna brazile former head of the dnc and a new book. Nice to see you again. Its always a pleasure to see you. Bill i found notes here. I dont believe thats my handwriting. This might be something you might want to hold onto. You know why . In 1991 there were only 28 women in congress. After the anita hill, Clarence Thomas hearings we saw an 89 increase and went to 53 in 107. 23 women are favored to win in 18 races, 32 of the women running for senate are women. 28 of the women in the house are women. 21 for governor are women and allstate wide candidates. Were about to talk about women and guess what . Girls are stern. Girl power. Thats everybody. Im about everybody. Bill however, what do you think Elizabeth Warren was thinking three weeks away from an election . Did it have to come up now . What was President Trump thinking when he called her pocahontas. Here is what i believe. Senator warren is up for reelection in massachusetts. Favored to win. She wanted to put the story out and everyone always accuses you, its not the right time. She said it, she has put it out and now were in the last 20 days of the election. Bill this is your game. Howie kurtz quote on screen. I know him well. He said the plain fact there is only so much media oxygen out there that donald trump has nationalized. One of the name brand democrats steps in it and
