Senior pentagon officials remain cautious over reports that isis has been defeated in syria. While the fighting is winding down there, the president announcing a huge shift in u. S. Policy towards israel with a tweet. The surprise move coming just ahead of a u. S. Visit by Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu who is facing a corruption scandal. Corresponding Benjamin Hall with an exclusive report from inside the wartorn country. Speak of the pentagon pushing back against reports that the final defense against isis is over, although local media say the town is not fully liberated. The pentagon claim there are still remnants possibly hiding in caves. Troops are now bringing down the black flags of isis. They no longer fly over the tow town. For the first time weve been here in syria five days covering this offensive, the bombs have stopped dropping. The gunfire has disappeared. There is an eerie calm here now and i think we have witnessed the end of the caliphate. The pentagon say that the bombing stopped to avoid civilian casualties. Fox news has witnessed the last major offensive up close with backed forces attacking isis from three sides, pushing the fighters back house to house, then tend to attend against the euphrates river. Inside, its easy to see how they lasted so long. Just a couple of days ago, these were the forward isis positions. You can see the trench system they had set up, managing to camouflage into the environment. In the end a majority surrendered. In fact, since the start of the year, 50,000 have dripped into the desert and now most are held in camps. There is a major concern about what to do with them, though. They have asked for u. S. Support setting up a tribunal to prosecute them. This final corner of the caliphate within the far Eastern Desert of syria, its where isis first captured territory and it is where they finally lost. A clearing operation underway in the town an announcement is expected soon. Conflicting reports today about the state of the offensive against isis. President trump saying yesterday that the caliphate was soon to follow, but today the pentagon pushing back saying that remnants remain. Local media, however, adamant that the town had been fully liberated. Bret . Bret Benjamin Hall in Eastern Syria. Thank you. President from doubling down on his support for israel today, announcing a controversial new policy as secretary of state mike pompeo took a swipe at democrats over antisemitism. Corresponding Gillian Turner from the state department with the administrations tough message to congress and the world. On day two of secretary pompeos visit to israel, President Trump made an unexpected twitter announcement over control over disputed territory. After 52 years, its time for the United States to fully recognize israels sovereignty over the Golan Heights. An interview with fox business network, he said the decision effectively incorporates the region as a permanent part of israel. Four years of my other president s have campaigned, they said theyll do it. This is sovereignty, security, this is about regional security. The secretary of state weighed in a few minutes later from president then speak of the lives they lost on the very ground where worthy and meaningful. And characteristic form praise President Trump. President trump has just made history. The new policy took many by surprise, though the state department tipped its hand last week releasing the 2019 human rights report. Describing what frank describing west bank, golan, as israel all nations, especially those in the west must go to the barricades against bigotry. Sadly, we in the United States use see antisemitic language other than the great halls of the capital. He will meet President Trump and headline the annual aipac conference. Netanyahus relationship under intense scrutiny of this week. Diplomats say its highly unusual for senior u. S. Officials to visit foreign leaders once they are up for reelection and worry pompeos trip now is intended to tip the scales in netanyahus favor in the run up to their elections. Bret thank you. President trump took action on another front today to protect First Amendment rights on College Campuses. Chief White House Correspondent john roberts has that part of the story. At a ceremony in the east room this afternoon, President Trump took a step he hopes ensures all voices are heard on College Campuses across the nation. We are here to take historic action to defend American Students and american values. They have been under siege. In an executive order, the president directed his cabinet agencies to tie federal grants for education and research to more aggressive enforcement of the First Amendment. Its a move he promised it down like at last months c packed conference. Ill be very soon signing requiring colleges and universities to support free speech if they want federal the move follows incidents at several incidents where conservatives have been targeted, including uc berkeley were a student, aidan williams, was punched in the face for supporting the president and conservative policies. President trump brought williams up on stage with him at cpac. You see people being punched hard in the face, but he didnt go down. I said you have a better chin than mohammed ali. Critics say the move is more symbolic than substantive because there are freespeech laws already governing federal grants to schools, but President Trump is directing his cabinet agencies to draw up guidelines what they believe is compliance with the First Amendment. The executive order also requires colleges to be more transparent with data regarding debt and the earnings of their graduates im a broken down into areas of study. The idea was first proposed by marco rubio during the 2016 Residential Campaign so students can make informed choices about what field to follow. Economics were on the president s mind today with an interview with fox business. President trump suggesting that fed chairman Jerome Powell to aggressive Interest Rate hikes, putting a choke hold on the economy. We wouldve been over if they did into all the instrument rate hikes. The president didnt tip his hand on whether hed impose punishing tariffs on foreign automobiles and auto parts that promised to hold the line against the e. U. On trade. The president took one more swing at senator john mccain, insisting he didnt bring up the subject, even though it was his saturday afternoon tweet that reopen an old wound. Three days ago, came out that his main person gave to the fbi the fake news dossier. But mr. President , he cant punch back but i dont talk about it. People ask me the question. You just brought it up. Weight senator john mccain acknowledged himself that he gave the unverified dossier to the fbi back in 2017 and in the memoir he wrote last year said he would do it again and that anyone who didnt like it could go to hell. Also revealed in Court Documents that an associate of mccann, david kramer, was spreading the dossier around to Media Outlets here in washington, d. C. But cramers said he did that at the request of Christopher Steele who wrote the dossier and not senator mccain. Bret . Bret john roberts come alive on the north lawn. A good day on wall street.

At the meantime, Illegal Immigrants are finding new and faster ways to get into the u. S. Using a legal loophole. And an actual hole in border fencing existing. National corresponding william la jeunesse at the border with a look at how Illegal Immigrants are exploiting the system. Weve had over 170 bridges to our infrastructure this year. The u. S. Border chief shows how smugglers make the existing fence obsolete. They will cut this off on the bottom down there, dig the hole, jacked the fence up, come right under there. On sunday, multiple busloads of migrants came from guatemala, men, women, children sprinted to a precut hole, one by one ducking underneath. A majority of them were an adult and child, and there was a small fraction of unaccompanied children. The group voluntarily surrendered, knowing the next stop was likely to be released in the u. S. 96 of the people we arrest our other than mexican. These migrants are part of a new wave and smuggling as cartels adopt a caravan like model, a doortodoor three day express bus from Central America to the u. S. Border. That is mexico highway 2, like a major interstate and buses were from guatemala will show up, drop off 50th one a barrier that stops no one. In essence we are capturing no one when they go into the United States and we dont see them again. Investigators say in some cases the children do not belong to the adults who claim to be their parents. These are cs documents the Border Patrol says show a fraudulent relationship. The kid is the passport to get released into the United States. Many migrants need medical care, even quarantines for measles, chicken pox, scabies. 700 hospitalized in yuma last year alone as Border Agents often end up as babysitters. That takes away from our Border Security mission for that takes away from our National Security mission. Contraction construction one begins last month, but a bigger challenge may be stopping the unending exodus in Central America and Convincing Congress that this is not a manufactured crisis. Bret .

Bret the nations biggest swingset is set to be the site of another tough battle in the 2020 election as floridas losing democrat for governor is launching a plan to get even by turning 1 million state voters blue. Correspondent peter doocy at a close look at an ambitious plan. The florida peninsula is a prize for any president ial candidate. 29 electoral votes that democrats want back. Of the road to the white house went through florida we can deny donald trump a second term right here in the state of florida democrat Andrew Gillum thinks he can do that by registering 1 million new voters in florida. Im smart enough to know that everybody registered doesnt necessarily vote, but im smart enough to know you want many marbles on the table so if a few of them fall off it doesnt cost you the election. Flipping florida will be tough, because republican Governor Ron Desantis beating gilliam for the job is one of americas most popular trump allies. Id like to thank our president for standing by me when for standing by me when it wasnt necessarily the smart thing to do. Next year, Governor Desantis might be able to return the favor for the president because he is 59 Approval Rating is tallahassees highest in ten years. Governor desantis is even approved by 42 of democrats compared to just 28 who disapprove. So the Trump Campaign is unfazed by gail lum. Interesting candidates choose a failed candidate to lead this operation. Cant beat trump in florida either. The the reelection effort will revolve around the president s record. Hes delivered for underserved communities in florida. New registrations dont have anything to do with new results. Andrew gillum, hes registering people to vote. Its our job to tell people what you believe in and theyll vote for you. Lets flip florida blue thats exactly what gilliam is trying to do. We are all on the ballot in 2020. One wild card, florida is the spring swing state he spends the most time when hes not campaigning. When its cold in d. C. , he spends time in maralago. Every time air force one lands, its a chance for the news to show the president being greeted by the popular desantis. Bret investigators say a truck driver was under the influence of marijuana and antiseizure medication when his garbage truck crashed into an amtrak train carrying republican lawmakers in virginia last year. In its final report, the transportation board said it was likely drug impairment that led the driver to enter a Railroad Crossing with the gates down. The crash killed a passenger in the truck and injured a congressman and others on the train for the driver acquitted of manslaughter in that incident last month. Coming up, he was the first to launch a president ial bid on the democratic side for 2020, so has it helped his campaign . Will ask when we talk to former democratic congressman john delaney life.

Bret will come back to special report, where we are bringing a balance report for the 2020 race, where well bring all of the candidates for the g. O. P. , obviously present trump, the first person to launch a bid for the 2020 democrat president ial nomination. Joins me now to talk about his views on the issues. Thanks for being here. Thanks for having me, bret. Bret we talked august 2nd, 2017. Soon after, you launched with an oped. Not only time to solve the who response and give me opportunity to understand who i am, what ive done with my life, and my values and what i think about the world, and putting myself in a position with so my ideas and values and my plans have an opportunity to be heard by more people. Bret how is that going for you . That guy sounds really smart, actually. I think its going really well. Campaigning hard, introduce myself to people across the early states in particular. Weve got great starts. In iowa alone, four of the 99 county chairs have endorsed me. I dont think any of the candidates have any endorsements. Weve done great on the ground, opportunity to listen to people. My message, which is about really solving problems as they matter to the american people, whether its health care, drug prices, infrastructure, digital privacy, whatever the case may be. I think its cutting through really nicely. You know, in iowa, the latest sea and Des Moines Register paul has you at the bottom of the pack, at about 1 . The real clear politics doesnt track you there. And just in 2019, youve had 27 stops in iowa, one in michigan, one in texas. You are putting in the time here. Are you getting the bounce back . We think so. I think the race is really wide open. I mean, thats the clear sense, i get, talking to voters on the ground. Obviously some of the candidates have much Higher National name i. D. And are more prominent than i am. People like the Vice President and a few others. So we are early. As you know, bret, we are 1011 months away from the iowa caucus. We havent had the debates yet, havent had anything. In iowa in particular, ive got six offices open, 24 people in the ground, bakes operation on the ground in iowa. As you know, bret, that stuff matters. There is a way to go and we feel like we are in a good spot. You mentioned the debates. The first the democrats decided you can get into coways. One is in the top tier of the candidates, the other is you have six to five individual youve got this debate challenge that for every 1 that someone contributes to your campaign you will donate to the Organization Charity of their choice. To help you get on the debate stage but what you say to people who look at that and say you are pretty desperate. Are you buying votes . Whats that . When 55,000 small on donor standard rolled out by the dnc they came out from nowhere from my perspective, told ourselves that weve got to meet the standard, and sitting in a room with my team talking about all the ways will market digitally to get donors. You have to spend money to get money, why dont we put out this challenge that says if somebody gives me a dollar, i will give 2 to a charity because i would frankly do that then give it to a Digital Marketing firm and i think everybody thought it was a good idea and we put it out there and its really taken off. Its been our most successful channel to raising donations. You know what i say to people . You helped get me on the debate stage, we give 2 to a charity in your name. You get to pick. For every dollar they gave me. Its a pretty good deal. Bret you are a successful businessman. You have money to spend on this race. But whats the elevator pitch that somebody says, this is the guy that separates from the other candidates . Obviously your party has gone pretty far left to the progressive side. We dont know if joe biden is getting in or not. We assume he is but whats the pitch that separates you . Im the person you nominate, aa, if you want to beat the president , b, you get things that matter to these people. There should be universal health care in this country, we should deal with climate change, i believe i can get done my first year in office. Go down the list. Whether infrastructure, digital privacy, doing things to make sure people are investing in communities that are left behind, im the person who can get those things done and make a difference in your lives. Im the best person to be the president because i can build a big pan of progressives and moderates, disaffected republicans out there, but im also the person who wants to bring people together and get real things done. Bret you released a statement this week about the president s Fitness Assessment and you said, donald trump is unfit for office of the presidency. He lies to the american people, like space and decency, belittles patriots like john mccain, engage in lawless behavior. Goes on in a very heated statement you released. In the latest approval polls, President Trump has an approval of 42 . Some polls even higher. What are you saying to those 42 of americans who say, you know, the guys doing okay with this statement . Listen, there are two things bid there is the president s policies and the way he conducts himself. I agree. A lot of americans like his policy. If you notice, i dont agree with all of his policies but what i said there wasnt about his policies. It was about the way he conducts himself. That was really a response to what he did what he said about the late senator mccain. I just think a president should be someone who brings us together, not divides us. I think a president should be someone who conducts himself with a certain amount of decency and is honest with the american people. Unfortunately, i dont like to say this, but i do not think this president fits this category. Bret congressman delaney, we appreciate you coming on. Please tell your fellow colleagues to do the same. Im happy to be on. Bret with the president s surprise announcement recognizing israels sovereignty over Golan Heights means for peace in the middle east. Plus isis out of syria.

Seriously . But zerowater let me guess. Zero . Yup, thats how i know it is the puresttasting water. I need to find the receipt for that. Oh yeah, you do. Tonight, President Trump made the decision to recognize that the hardfought real estate, its proper to be a sovereign part of the state of israel. Ive been thinking about doing it for a long time. Its a hard decision for a dell make every president. This is like jerusalem, moving the embassy to jerusalem. I did that. Israel has no greater friend the United States and United States is no greater friend in israel. I look forward to my visit next week to washington where i will meet with President Trump and i believe that we can carry this relationship even stronger. Its getting stronger and stronger and stronger. A big change in u. S. Policy of your it started out with the goal on the heights being recognized by the u. S. For the first time in 52 years fully recognizing israels sovereignty over the Golan Heights. You see the area right next to syria but not everybody signing on, tulsi gabbard, Congress Woman who is running for president on the democratic side, another example of trump and netanyahu putting their own political interest ahead of the interest of our respective countries, increase tensions and likelihood of war. Shortsighted but lets bring in our panel and start there. National security and tom bevan, real clear politics president. Big deal. This is a landmark shift towards israel. The truth is israel has been controlling the Golan Heights for quite some time. Theyve been attacked several times in there. When you look at the topography and the inherent military threat that israel faces not only from iran, hezbollah, isis, any enemy that would want to attack, they need to of course continue to control this land. The question here is that the president and his team, did they need to officially recognize it in this way . I think most democrats will probably argue that we should just keep the status quo, keep a u. N. Presence there, keep it as it is. I think the president signaled that its important for the u. S. To officially recognize this as jared and secretary pompeo working on a larger peace initiative. I dont think any analyst whose paid attention for the last six years would want a any of israels enemies controls territory. I agree with much of that in the sense that this decision doesnt really change anything real on the ground. Which, of course, is one indication it wasnt all that necessary for israels security. There is a lot of politics behind this both in terms of the president trying to help netanyahus reelection given that netanyahu is in a very close contests. Trump is popular over there. And u. S. Domestic politics, trying to be a friend of israel in this country. But there is a downside to this, bret, which is that Ronald Reagan in 1981 put the United Nations put on record denying what was then israels attempt to is impose israeli law precursor to actual annexation. Its been u. S. Policies since that time to uphold that Security Council resolution. Its an important principle whether its defensive action or not that territory should not change due to u. S. Action. The United States government will unilaterally undo or violate or ignore a Security Council resolution in that respect, and i think that something to say, for example, Vladimir Putin will take note of when he talks about crimea going forward. Bret tom, this is a head of prime mittens Prime Minister netanyahus visit, ahead of aipac, which democrats are not visiting this year. Particularly segmenting marking antisemitism on the rise, including in congress. There is a big National Security shift in policy. I think thats right. Chuck just mentioned, i think part of this is the democrats boycotting aipac with the stuff going on with rep omar, trump recognizes that and a big supporter of israel obviously. This is another issue in which he decided to move forward in part i think to draw the contrast between himself, his administration, and whoever his eventual opponent is going to be in 2020. So definitely some domestic politics at play here as well. Bret morgan, in other news obviously is isis in syria. What weve seen over the past year and a half in taking that map that isis had the caliphate control in syria and iraq down to one place, and now our man on the ground and risking a lot, Benjamin Hall and his crew, to be in Eastern Syria to show viewers that they think its done. His reports were amazing today and we are certainly grateful for him. When you look at what this administration, what are men and women and allies have done on the ground to defeat the physical caliphate, the physical state that isis had maintained, this is an extraordinary success that i think we have to really commit this administration for pursuing. However, we have to watch a lot. The institute for the study of war showing that isis has moved back to their historical stronghold in iraq, they are the precursor it was al qaeda in iraq, a qi. They have many places where they can hide, fester. I think there are a few things that we are going to have to watch postcaliphate. What do we do with the number of International Terrorist prisoners here, the International Community has no answer for this. Spf cannot hold these people forever. What are we going to do with these safe zones . We need to continue to work with turkey to have these safe zones so we do not avoid a larger recalibration of isis. Again, congratulations to the men and women on the ground who have defeated the physical state. Important moment in history. Bret if you look back at what was being said when the president took over about the challenge and the impossibility of driving isis and this caliphate back, and the strength at this time, its pretty start to look at it now.

All of that changes started rank now starting right now. Spewing on the president signed an executive order we are back with our panel. Thoughts on this. Its largely symbolic because its already required by law and the administration did not order any complaints or mechanisms here, but i think thats is important. Its an issue that certainly the base feels strongly about, the republican base, Trump Supporters in general. But moderates and independents realize Political Correctness has run amok in campus and some of the sites weve seen the last couple of years, this is an issue that could play well for trump as you move into the 2020 election. Bret shall . Im going to start by saying there is a contrast between the prominence and the energy with with the president discussing this which is a legitimate issue and more recent flareups of White Supremacy and racism and so on. This is an issue where i think he has a lot of support not only from the base but perhaps from a wider audience. Right now come universities are not their image and great in america. There is a scandal over College Admissions, the large majority of the public do not think admissions are run fairly and objectively. There is a longstanding concern with the cost and the debt that people roll up and what struck me about todays meeting at the white house was it wasnt limited to the speech issue. He went wider, talked about the cost, points in the executive Order Holding colleges accountable for how much they charge and the results they get. And that resonates. It may not be that people like his solutions, but he is with his usual instinct for finding an unpopular target. Hes going after the university vary widely. Bret morgan, chuck is right. They are as much is the big had as much as facebook, google, is also a black hat in washington now. Its ripe territory now. I just paid my student loan payment so im feeling very sympathetic to what chuck laid out. When you look at this College Admission scandal, when you put this together, this is why people are frustrated with universities today it while the executive order doesnt necessarily establish some new precedents, its pretty putting universities on notice. They should be evaluating as we take a look at the enormous amount of student debt that people have piled up. This sort of debt is unsustainable and you ask yourself is this four year arts degree at a college where i am ridiculed wearing a maga hat is worth my time. Its good to recognizing the unsustainable debt we are taking on from these public institutions. Bret to go from talking about that, lets talk about the china trade deal. A bit of a turn, but the president talking about the trade negotiations. I want to play this. We are doing great in our deal with china. We are so far down, its got to be a great deal. If its not a great deal, well never catch up. Their economy is way down i dont want their economy to be down too and i want their economy to be up. Will the eighth round the chinau. S. Highlevel economic and trade consultations in beijing. Bret every time we ask about it, tom, its about them and you shall come of. Is there a sense that things are optimistic on this deal. It hasnt happened yet. Weve had a hundred or so ceos of the Top Companies of america in washington today and trump meeting with them and im sure they registered their concerns over fee of five talks about the chinese economy going down, but there are warning signs of the u. S. Economy might be slowing down and these ceos see the trade deal as an impediment to keeping this economy humming along. Im sure they let trump know that. In issue he needs to get resolved and get out of the way. The sooner, the better. Bret panel, thank you. Appreciate it. When we come back, proof that sometimes things that have been lost, they really do find a way home. Bret finally, tonight, lost, found, and returned. Its probably nothing to anybody else, but to me its my world. Bret at 93yearold marie gladwin was devastated when she lost her most prized possession, her promise, marriage, and anniversary rings all intertwined. She was shopping, the ring fell off, four months later, a child turned that ring into the lost and found. Marie eventually got it and she is grateful for the honesty and she believes her late husband wally had something to do with it. That is a great story. We need great stories. Thanks for inviting us into your homes denied. That is it for special report. Fair, balanced, and still unafraid. The story guessed head hosted by my friend ed henry starts now. Ed declaring she doesnt know if this was russian collusion or obstruction of justice by President Trump. The former fbi chief adding he doesnt care. Really . That flipflop comes just hours after this image of the special counsel diligently driving himself to the office this morning sent the main stream into another to say, but the possibility of Robert Mueller dropping his report on alleged collusion. As of this moment, surprise, still no new alert report. What is surprising is now democrats in damage control mode, not the president , as his critics, who once had vision of collusion, obstruction,
