Weekly news commentary and features from the editors of the Wall Street Journals editorial page. Later. Would you say that all of this now can be attributed to the decisions made in washington by the president . I think whats fair to say is that as they move along and move further away from the obama administration, were more than 18 months in, its harder to democrats to make that case. At this point, you see how democrats have talked a lot about other issues, talking a lot about health care, thats their main issue right now, especially as they chug toward the Brett Cavanaugh confirmation. The democrats are talking about health care, talking about russia, talking about issues that arent the economy. Thats something that the republicans have in their back pockest. As long as the economy is moving forward, this tariff issue could slow them down but well have to wait and see about that you mentionemention julie you mentioned the democrats are talking about health care. It was supposed to be repealed and replaced. That didnt happen. That was a huge disappointment for the Trump Administration. They moved on to taxes. They won there. Wide range of topics, including the economy, tariffs, the gop strategy for the midterms and confirming Brett Kavanaugh, democrats have been trying to block that and the Vice President s planned trip to hawaii to receive the remains of americans killed in the korean war, that is tomorrow, 10 00 eastern on fox news channel. Mike the Trump Administration said they met the deadline to meet families left at the border. The administration can confirm they reunified all eligible parents in i. C. E. Custody with children. The administration continues to comply in good faith with the courts request while protecting the safety and wellbeing of all children in our care. Garrett teny is live in washington. Hello, garrett. Reporter Immigration Activists and democratic lawmakers argue the administration have not met the deadline. More than 700 children are still separated from their parents. Those parents have not been
reunified with their children because they are not eligible for reunification due to a variety of reasons. Some have a criminal record. 120 parents chose not to be reunited with their children. More than 400 have already been deported. This morning the aclu tweeted some 463 parents were deported without their children and the government isnt even trying to reunite them. We will not back down real donald trump, you are responsible for fixing the crisis you made. Dhs denies the allegation, saying the administration will continue to make every effort to reunify eligible adults with their children. In a court filing this week, lawyers with the aclu said some parents were misled by the government and never meant to let their kids rather, never meant to leave their children here in the United States when they left but the former Acting Director of i. C. E. Told Shannon Bream this week that for some of these parents, leaving their kids in the United States was likely part of the goal all along. Some of these people had left the United States without their children, chose to leave the United States without their children because they basically got what they wanted, they got their child to the United States to live with relatives, get an american education, take advantage of the Social System and be the next Daca Applicant in 10 years. Reporter while the Administration Says they plan to continue to work towards reunifying all of the separated children, at this point it has not given any kind of time line for when it plans to have that done. Mike . Mike garrett, thanks a lot. Julie a fox news alert now. Two massive wildfires on the right of your screen, raging in california. There is one in the south and another one in the northern part of the state, thats called the car fire with the flames already destroying 500 structures. This fire is scary to us. Its something we havent seen before in the city. If you hear an Evacuation Order on your phone, home phone or cell phone or if you see an officer on p. A. Telling you to
get out of there, please get out of there. Julie jeff paul is live in idlewild with the lat latest. Reporter were right inside the containment lines in the town of idlewild. You can see the firefighters out here, mopping up the few remaining hot spots in this particular area. Investigators say this particular fire, the scranton fire, was started as a result of arson but is now at 17 containment as crews start to gain up ther hand. Further up north, in redding, california, the car fire remains a huge threat. Its killed a Bulldozer Operator and a local firefighter. Some families are reporting theyre missing loved ones. Redding police have received 90 phone calls regarding missing people. Most have been resolved. They tell us right now theyre looking into reports of 16 missing people. That number is very fluid. As far as damage, the fire has burned more than 80,000 acres and is only 5 contained. 367,00367,000 37,000 people e under Evacuation Orders. The fire is threatening 5,000 structures. The wildfires are becoming the new normal. What were seeing not just here in this county but literally statewide fires that are growing exponentially. Were averaging 45 to 50 fires a day throughout california. Reporter back here further south in idlewild, crews say they seem to have a good handle on the kranston fire. They are dropping water on remaining trouble spots. Weve seen a lot of firefighters moving around as they look to find more important areas that need their help. Coming back out here live, you see crews are in the mopup state. They tell us they conditions to get worse expect conditions to get worse. That means the wind is starting to pick um. Theyre trying to douse the embers, make them go out. Once the wind picks up, basically tiny little fires in the air and once that hits some dry vegetation, of course its dry and a hot out here, those fires can start again. Julie .

The president of the United States in this deliberate, he was looking for a judge with extraordinary credentials and intellect, also a judge who would strictly interpret the constitution as written and not legislate from the bench. Judge Brett Kavanaugh has that judicial philosophy. He has a record. Thats the message well carry to republicans and democrats in the senate and we remain confident that before the fall is out, that judge Brett Kavanaugh will be justice Brett Kavanaugh. Mike mike pence speaking with Maria Bartiromo in an exclusive interview airing tomorrow on Sunday Morning futures, praising the credentials of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh who is gathering up to two red state Democratic Senators. Most other members of the party
have refused to meet with him as they ramp up efforts to get all his documents from his past jobs. Chuck schumer is taking his request for documents directly to george w. Bush who kavanaugh served under for five years. Lets bring in john thomas, founder and president Of Thomas Partner Strategies and michael toddman, former senior aid to democratic senator Chuck Schumer. Great to see you. Thanks for being here. Thank you. Good to be here. Mike democrats continue to for more of judge kavanaughs documents and Chuck Schumer wrote to george w. Bush yesterday saying i believe that making judge kavanaughs complete record public is consistent with your commitment to transparency and is strongly in the Public Interest while the country may be divided on whether judge kavanaugh should join the Supreme Court, there ought to be no disagreement on whether the process that leads to a Confirmation Vote should be a fair and impartial one. What do you make of that play . A very smart tactical play by a very smart democratic leader. I dont say that because i used to work for him. Its smart politics and smart poll civil im sure theyll get a lot of angry calls and tweets about this. While Public Disclosure especially for something as important as the Supreme Court confirmation process is important, and vital for the Public Policy and public conversation, i think the nominees role in the white house as a Staff Secretary controlling and managing and overseeing the flow of paper into the oval office is an Executive Function and not a judicial function which is what is going to be deliberated here. However, lets have the conversation, lets see what it produces. Mike president bush is backing judge kavanaughs nomination. Is that outreach a sign of desperation . First of all, im in absolute shock that michael and i agree on something here. This is a move of desperation by the democrats t to stonewall and
end up stopping confirmation of trumps Supreme Court pick. They cant assassinate his character. They cant assassinate his impeccable record as a judge. So what do they do . They try to come up with procedural hiccups. The reality is, like michael said, being a Staff Secretary in the white house is a very important position but, look, you are pushing paper and millions of pieces of paper. Youre not issuing opinions. Look, i think this is a stonewalling tactic. I think at continued of the day, those three Senate Democrats that are in Trump Country are going to end up folding. If they go against this Supreme Court pick, that will cost them the reelect. Mike we know joe donnelly and joe mansion are going to meet with judge kavanaugh. How difficult will it be for Leader Schumer to keep the red state democrats from supporting judge kavanaugh. Red state democrats are in a pee cure yall situation here
pepee strange situation here. It depends on the issues around the states priorities and issues. Its noteworthy. Its significant that red state democrats are meeting the nominee. I think ultimately two or three of them will vote for the nominee. It was always going to play out this way, the heat and the energy of the Democratic Party. Let me just say, the Democratic Party is not just one thing. Its a lot of different ideologies, its a lot of different priorities. Its a lot of different approaches towards politics and government. So to say that Democratic Party is not a monolithic thing. A lot of the heat and energy is on the far left with the activists. Thats different than what were seeing with red state democrats. This was always going to happen. Ism happy to im happy to discuss it. Mike it would seem to be a tricky spot for Leader Schumer, if the democrats lose in
november, he becomes further away from becoming majority leader, right, john . The democrats are between a rock and a rock. Theyre dammed if they do, dammed if they dont. The heat of the Democratic Party is so far to the left that its essentially the nomination of judge kavanaugh to them is like nominating hitler. Right . So the base is saying that these democrats cant vote to nominate. On the other hand, i think one thing we know and im sure michael will agree with me, at the end of the day tigses care about one politicians care about one thing and one thing only, themselves. I think self press preservatiol win out. I think theyre going to play a cat and mouse game. The other key wrinkle here is the confirmation isnt likely to actually happen until the month of october. Thats right before the critical midterm vote. This may be the last thing thats on voters minds before they walk into Polling Booths in some of the critical states. President bush is a different republican than President Trump. I think appealing to that Sense Ability and that part of american recent history is an interesting contrast between the two. Mike the republicans ive been speaking to on capitol hill sound very happy, they dont believe democrats have been able to do anything to damage kavanaughs nomination. Is his confirmation pretty much inevitable, michael . Nothing is done until its didnt done. I would think ultimately the nominee is confirmed. I think along the way a lot of important Policy Discussions and a lot of important political positions and narratives are going to be advanced. Some i believe very successfully. Because the no nomination is liy to be successful, doesnt mean the conversations along the way cant be fruitful and cant be important. Ill just come to my colleagues defense here in a different studio. Referencing hitler in the context of Supreme Court discussions and nominees, well
pretend you didnt say that. Mike fair enough. No, i did say it. Mike some republicans have not formally committed to supporting judge kavanaugh. John, is there any way a senator rand paul would be the one to kill the kavanaugh nomination . I think, again, hes going to play this interesting little game probably to get his 15 minutes before the november elections. But i dont think senator paul wants to be responsible for derailing republicans chance to slid phi a conservative solidify a conservative majority for the next years in the Supreme Court. I dont see any way that senator Paul Doesnt Vote for kavanaugh at the end of the day. Mike thanks for the debate. Enjoyed it very much. Julie House Republicans deciding not to move forward to impeach Deputy Attorney general Rod Rosenstein but the Battle Over His Future Isnt over as Top Republican lawmakers hold his feet to the fire in their request for those documents theyve been waiting nine months
for. Plus, President Trump blasting claims he knew about a meeting at trump tower in 2016 with that russian lawyer. How this could impact the russia investigation moving forward. Serious infections, which could need hospitalization; skin problems; and severe bone, joint, or muscle pain. If your bones arent getting stronger isnt it time for a new direction . Why wait . Ask your doctor about prolia. Leland new reaction from capitol hill as President Trumps personal attorney, Michael Cohen, claims the president knew about a meeting between his Campaign Officials and a russian lawyer in 2016. The president blasting those claims, tweeting, quote, i did not know of the meeting with my son, don junior, sounds to me like someone is trying to make up stories in order to get himself out of an unrelated jam, taxi cabs, maybe. He even retained bill and crooked hillarys lawyer. Gee, i wonder if they helped him make the joyce. Choice. Jillian turner has more. Reporter Michael Cohen is claiming his boss approved the
trump p tower meeting thats become a feature in the mueller probe. The meeting took place in new york city on June 9th Of 2016 and included donald trump junior, Paul Manafort, Jared Kushner and a kremlin lawyer. The president taking to twitter yesterday to reinforce the claim hes made several times saying i did not know of the meeting with my son, don junior. Sounds to me like someones trying to make up stories in order to get himself out of an unrelated jam. The president s son has long insisted his father had no knowledge of this meeting. It was such a nothing. There was nothing to tell. I wouldnt have even remembered it until you start scouring through the stuff. It was a waste of 20 minutes which was a shame. Reporter this claim from cohen comes days after someone leaked a recording of a conversation between him and President Trump about hush money paid to a playboy model. Now the president s inner circle is painting an unflatter portrait of cohen. He lied to people about
taping them, the president and other people. He went to subterfuge in order to do it, a little game which shows how pathological he is. Reporter looking ahead in just a few days, the trial of former Trump Campaign manager Paul Manafort will kick off in arlington, virginia. Insiders anticipate the witnesses will be asked about the meeting. Mike . Mike jillian, thank you. Julie congressman jim jordan and mark meadows backing off their push to impeach Deputy Attorney general Rod Rosenstein. They accuse him of withholding documents related to the russia investigation but may take a different approach to get them. All weve done is file it. Its still there. Its extent the judiciary commit at this moment it can be brought up at any time. The only way weve gotten documents and information that were entitled to get is when we put pressure on them. Julie Emily Kompanu joins us
now. This was a whirled Win Whirl Wie week. Just up until wednesday they were hell bent on forcing a contempts vote. Why did mo meadows back down by giving the doj and fbi one more chance. He claims because his strategy worked. I want to point out a few factors that affect the strategy so that viewers understand why he pulled this quote, unquote nuclear option. In the house, a privileged resolution means you have to vote on it within two days. For contempt, the entire House Judiciary Committee needs to do so but for impeachment, only a Single Member can. Basically, that automatically becomes a privileged resolution. Basically he is a Single Member, moved for this, it forced the hand of the other committee and House Republicans. Some in the middle are saying that negotiating was working or simply if the doj and fbi would
comply, we wouldnt need to go through these kind of strategic tug of war. And obviously theyre reconvening september 4th. The hope is that the fbi and the doj would comply enough to satisfy that entire spectrum by then, so this kind of circus can stop. Julie you mentioned the two days. I was going to bring that up. They have two days if theyre going to force a vote, by tuesday, wednesday, they hadnt done so and they were taking recess on thursday. Yet meadows still seemed like it was still a possibility. What do you think ultimately, though, got him to back down . Obviously House Speaker paul ryan wasnt onboard. That spoke volumes. You call it that maybe he had a come to jesus moment . Yes, i think with the other house conservatives absolutely, i think behind closed doors, he even referenced ive had meetings with the other republicans here, weve come to an agreement, we negotiatessed something. I want to point out what happens if they vote to hold roseen time
in contempt. Thats referred back to the doj for prosecution. That gets us into the situation we saw with eric holder where the doj declined to prosecute him. The last time an executive Office Official was prosecuted was for perjury in the early 80s. At that point they can only move for civil charges. I want viewers to understand that as well. Julie i want our viewers to understand how long House Republicans have been asking for the documents related to the doj and fbis handling of the investigation into the Russia Interpheneinterference in the 26 election and the alleged collusion with the Trump Campaign. They waited nine months. They claim rosenstein blocked those documents from going out. For what other reason would there be than to hamper an investigation to block documents from coming out . Thats evidence thats needed in
order for an investigation to be properly completed. Exactly. The argument on the other side is we are still investigating and this might hamper that investigation that ison going at this point. Remember, who does that answer to . Its the oversight. Its those branches are in place so there is oversight by congress. While that tension continues to play out, that plight sig is whs frustrating. The integrity of the investigation has been called into question and certainly more by now the refusal to turn over the documents. Yes, nine months is far too long to wait and this entire situation could go away if they would comply. Julie you talked about the difference between being held in contempt and impeachment proceedings. There are several republican whose agree with meadows on the impeachment. They want him fired. They believe rosenstein should be fired including florida congressman ted yoho who sits on the House Freedom caucus. Listen to what he had to say this morning. When you look at what rosenstein has done, he hasnt
answered the subpoena. If that were you and any a court of law we would be in jail. If we signed a fisa warrant that should never have been signed, that dereliction of duty and for that he should be fired jf what julie what will happen if the doj doesnt produce these documents . Will meadows stand by his word . That remains to be seen. He has to come to pressure or Negotiation Tactics of the other republicans. Who knows they there could be more if there would be more pressure that comes into play. A different strategy might be called into play by everyone. Know that part of the opposition of this within the conservatives is that look, they say this isnt a high crime and misdemeanor. That doesnt rise to this level. While we agree hes been noncompliant, its still not to the level and we shouldnt use this tactic. So i do believe that ultimately it results in that collective opinion but note he can still
move for it. It doesnt mean that it will pass. Even if he stays true to his word, again, an impeachment is unlikely. Julie emily, thank you very much. We appreciate seeing you and for you coming on. Mike. Mike kim jong un keeping his promise to President Trump as north korea delivers the possibility remains of 55 american soldiers from the korean war. What this says about the regimes willingness to deliver on the ultimate goal of denuclearization. Plus, two officers shot while responding to a disturbance call, what were learning about their conditions. Its obviously the police that are over there including chief dunn, theyre just very grateful right now. Imagine being grateful when two of your police officers. Welcome hi there. So, what do you look for in a vehicle . Sleek designs. Performance. Dependability is top on my list. Well then, heres some vehicles that deliver on that. Woah wow.

Over 75 years of great savings and service. You cant argue with more. Why would ya . Geico. Expect great savings and a whole lot more. And im still going for my best even though i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib not caused by a heart valve problem. So if theres a better treatment than warfarin, im up for that. Eliquis. Eliquis is proven to reduce stroke risk better than warfarin. Plus has significantly less major bleeding than warfarin. Eliquis is fdaapproved and has both. So whats next . Seeing these guys. Dont Stop Taking Eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an Artificial Heart Valve or abnormal bleeding. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis, the number one cardiologistprescribed blood thinner. Ask your doctor if eliquis is whats next for you. Authorities say it happened as they were investigating a disturbance with one of the officers being struck twice and the other suffering a Gunshot Wound to the head. Authorities say they are both expected to survive, thank goodness. The suspect was also shot multiple times. No word on what led to the shooting. The fact that this president sitting down with kim jong un to negotiate the complete denuclearization of the korean peninsula, also had our Fallen Heroes on his heart, should tell you everything you needs to know about President Donald Trump and my wife and i are deeply moved and deeply honored to be able to be there when we bring our boys home. Mike Vice President mike pence weighing in on one part of the agreement between President Trump and north Korean Leader kim jong un in singapore last month. This comes after the u. S. Retrieved 55 containers from the north said to be the remains of u. S. Soldiers from the korean
war. Theyre expected to arrive in hehawaii next week to undergo da testing. Vice president pence is expect offed to attend the repatriation ceremony on wednesday. Rob effort charles, a former assistant secretary of state to colin powell, nice to see you, sir. For the families of our fallen korean war vets, there is no doubt yesterday was a hugely significant day. What is your assessment of how big it is in terms of u. S. , north korea relations . First, let me say it is a poignant day and i think every american should remember having worked on a few of these cases in the past, that these people this is a really significant moment for those families and we should be very happy for them. Some perspective on the larger picture. We americans, we love instant gratification. We want to just hit the app and get the answer that we want. Nuclear diplomacy is the
antithesis of that. It takes a long time. Its painstaking. It will take years. But that having been said, i think this discussion needs to be grounded in fact and this particular action fits within the context of some larger actions that are occurring at the same time and are utterly unprecedented. At this moment in time, donald trump has scored the following things. He has stopped or there has been a cessation of missile launches, a cessation of nuclear testing, our american citizens have been brought home. We have a dismantling of a nuclear of a launch site and we have the return of these remains. I will just say as a matter of context, it appears to me that this president is doing exactly what we would want. There is a Framework Agreement under discussion for nuclear denuclearization, we know that were trying to empower a Transformational Leader here. In due time, we will see a winwin where north korea sees
advantage in getting rid of the Nuclear Weapons because theyen danger its future and gets integrated into the international order. We will get a nuclearfree peninsula. This takes a lot of time. This is not something that happens overnight and i think people need to keep that perspective. Mike what about the concern that the north koreans are going to demand more concessions before they return more remains or provide the u. S. More information . Theyre in no position to make any demands. We have our full kinetic response capability available. Nothing has changed. The Military Options are still there. I think what this president is trying to do, for the First Time Ever you have actually for the first time at least since reagan, you have someone tacking up into the wind. Theyre not denying the wind, theyre not running from the wind. Theyre tacking into the wind. If youre a sailor, it takes time. You need to get small advantages. This is a trustbuilding exercise and what we are going to do is were going to give him recognition. Were going to give him every
opportunity at every turn to make the right choice and for his people and for himself and maybe for his military command, just to understand that there is no other real way forward for him. Hee endangers himself by not getting rid of Nuclear Weapons. Hes got the fourth largest conventional army in the world. Nobodys going to toy with him once he gets rid of the Nuclear Weapons. He gets the economic advantage of inclusion. This president , one of the reasons hes trying to get closer to russia and china is to keep a unified front against the north korean sort of backsliding. I see this as an exceptionally strong strategic move. I see everything moving in the right direction. But recognize, im not a poly anna. Youre going to get back steps. This is a multiyear process. I hope americans see the value in what this president is doing. Leland. Julie i covered the fia mike i covered the final years of the obama administration. There were efforts to get something down with the north koreans that seemed to fall apart. Youre convinced this time theyre serious. Ill tell you what is different. There has not recently been maybe harry true man was such a truman was such a president but there has not been such a president that had anything on the table and everybody believes id. Jim mattis and others have contingency plans if things go south. Theres a willingness to believe on the north koreans part that this is their moment. Hes got a young leader in kim jong un. He has time to create a trans formational opportunity transformational opportunity. Kim jong un could have a Bright Future if he does the right thing. He could have a dark future if he does the wrong thing. Mike mike pompeo was asked about north korea. He was asked about this. Were engaged in patient blow ma any. We will not let this drag out. I emphasize the conversations i had with the vice chairman. Mike thats the pes an from
the Administration Message from the administration. Do you think its being received in pyongyang . I do. I believe we wouldnt have these developments if It Werent Being received. Its about deterrent and credibility. The president has done what he said he would do at every turn. Some people dont like those decisions. Hes calling out International Accountability and hes calling it out with kim jong un. I feel as though this is a president who walked into a room and somebody had kicked over the march l belles and hes marbles. Hes got a mess to pick up in every corner. Hes trying to get trade back on track, trying to get north korea and russia and china to be accountable. This is a long process. I think there is method to the process. Mike robert charles, we thank you for your time and your service. Have a great day. Julie a properly innocent cardinal resigning amid allegations of abuse. Well have reaction from the vatican, next.
