both officers fire, shooting blevins four times. blevins later dying. at a press conference today, members of a police union said the two officers acted heroically and believed their lives were in danger. >> the whole time, he's looking back, getting position on where the officers are at to acquire a target to shoot them. >> reporter: at a later press conference, the county prosecutor took to the podium to defend the police department. but before he could announce charges would not be filed against the two officers, family and protesters rushed the podium, cutting him off. >> we want the cops arrested within the next 48 hours and prosecuted to the fullest degree of the law, because this was murder. >> and alex perez joins us live tonight from minneapolis. alex, emotions raw there. we saw the family and the protesters at that news conference today. they want justice for their family member. and the city bracing for possible more protests? >> reporter: that's right, david. another demonstration already
planned for tomorrow afternoon. family members firmly believe their loved one did not have to die here in this alley. as you heard them say right now, they believe this is murder. david? >> alex perez in minneapolis. alex, thank you. we're going to turn next tonight to president trump and his personal attorney, rudy giuliani, who went on cable tv today. that is not new, but what he said was. after the president has repeatedly said there was no collusion, giuliani now saying collusion is not a crime. abc's chief white house correspondent jonathan karl. >> reporter: when it comes to the russia investigation, there is one message above all where president trump has been perfectly consistent. >> there was no collusion. at all. there was no collusion. at all. everybody knows it. >> reporter: but now, former trump lawyer michael cohen seems to be prepared to tell prosecutors that the president knew in advance about the infamous trump tower meeting organized by donald trump jr. after he'd been promised dirt from the russians on hillary
clinton. and today, the president's current lawyer, rudy giuliani, offered a new message. it doesn't matter if the president colluded, because collusion, giuliani says, is not a crime. >> i've been sitting here looking in the federal code trying to find collusion as a crime. >> it's not. >> collusion is not a crime. >> reporter: it's a message giuliani repeated throughout the day. >> you don't even know if that's a crime, colluding about russ russians. >> okay -- >> you start analyzing the krip. the hacking is the crime. the hacking is the crime. >> that certainly is the original crime. >> the president didn't hack. >> of course not. >> he didn't pay them for hacking. >> reporter: giuliani's meandering and confounding interviews followed a series of tweets from the president blasting special counsel robert mueller. "is robert mueller ever going to release his conflicts of interest with respect to president trump," the president tweeted, "including the fact that we had a very nasty and contentious business relationship." the president offered no evidence and did not even say what the conflict was. and neither did giuliani. >> you have every right to say,
okay, you explain it, mueller. stand up and be a man. >> why is it up to robert mueller to have to support the president's tweet? >> because he has the conflict, not the president. >> what's the conflict? >> i can't tell you, i'm not sure i know exactly what the conflict is. i have a good idea what it is. it's one that would have kept me out of the investigation. >> reporter: just last month, deputy attorney general rod rosenstein, under oath, told congress he hasn't seen any such conflict of interest. >> i'm not aware of any disqualifying conflict of interest. >> reporter: of course, no word from robert mueller, who is almost never seen in public, although he was spotted at d.c.'s reagan national airport on friday, waiting to board a plane just steps away from donald trump jr. >> and jon karl with us live tonight from the white house. and jon, we know jury selection begins in the trial of paul manafort tomorrow, the first trial, of course, to come out of special counsel robert mueller's investigation. but we heard that argument from giuliani, he has said it before, essentially saying to mueller, if you have something, show us. but is there any sense of when mueller will reveal his findings? what are you hearing from your
sources at the white house? >> reporter: well, giuliani himself said that -- based on -- today he said that based on his conversations with robert mueller, he believes that mueller wants to issue his final report on the president by september. but then again, we see the negotiations over an interview between the special counsel and the president have gone nowhere, the president is escalating his attacks, and the bottom line, david, is that nobody but robert mueller really knows how close he is to finishing his investigation. >> all right, jon karl live at the white house. jon, good to have you back. president trump also making news on iran tonight, at his new conference with the italian prime minister today. after ripping up the iran nuclear deal and then exchanging harsh words with the iranian president, today, president trump declaring he would meet, no preconditions, face-to-face, with the iranian president. >> no preconditions. no. they want to meet, i'll meet. any time they want. any time they want. it's good for the country, good for them, good for us. and good for the world. >> not long after that moment,
secretary of state mike pompeo indicated there would be preconditions, among them, how iran treats its own people. and when asked, was it true, what iran now claims, that president trump requested a meeting with iran, but iran rebuffed him, pompeo would not answer. we turn next, late today, to cbs' board of directors taking no action against les moonves, at least for now. the chairman and ceo of cbs, he faces new accusations of sexual misconduct. they're instead launching an outside investigation of one of the most powerful men in television and in hollywood. here's abc's eva pilgrim tonight. >> reporter: tonight, the wife of immediaty titan and cbs ceo of les moonves speaking out over sexual misconduct allegations against her husband. >> some of you may be aware of what's been going on in my life over the past few days. i issued the one and only statement i will ever make on this topic on twitter and i will stand by that statement today,
tomorrow, forever. >> reporter: in the tweet, chen said, "leslie is a good man and a loving father, devoted husband. he has always been a kind, decent and moral human being. i fully support my husband and stand behind him." "the new yorker" magazine detailing allegations from six women ranging from unwanted advances to sexual assault. actress illeana douglas claiming during a 199 7 business meeting, moonves began violently kissing her, even pulling up her skirt. douglas saying, "i couldn't get him off me." moonves admits to trying to kiss douglas, but denies kissing her, but denies assaulting her, saying in a statement, "i always understood and respected and abided by the principle that no means no." tonight, some conflict inside the company. cbs films president terry press struggling to reconcile the moonves she knows with the allegations, posting this statement. "i do not believe it is my place to question the accounts put
forth by the women, but i do find myself asking that if we are examining the industry as it existed decades before through the lens of 2018, should we also discuss a path to learning, reconciliation and forgiveness?" tonight, the cbs board taking no immediate action against the ceo credited with turning around the network, announcing the board will seek to appoint outside counsel to investigate. and david, this independent investigation will be looking at the corporate culture, as well, at the company. david? >> eva pilgrim on this tonight. eva, thank you. we're going to turn next this evening to an abc news exclusive here. the father of that missing student in iowa is now breaking his silence, pleading for help in finding his daughter. of course, last seen jogging nearly two weeks ago now. here's abc's whit johnson. >> reporter: tonight, the search for 20-year-old mollie tibbetts growing more desperate. authorities now focusing on her digital footprint, trying to nail down a clear timeline of her disappearance. >> i just want her home. >> reporter: mollie's father, rob tibbetts, speaking

primary, cnn projects state attorney general bill schuette will be the republican candidate in november. former state legislative leader gretchen whitmer will be the democratic candidate. and cnn projects john james has captured the gop nomination for u.s. senate in michigan. james, an african-american iraq war vet endorsed by president trump. he will face off with democrat debbie stabenow in november. former trump campaign chairman paul manafort's longtime right-hand man back on the witness stand today. manafort's defense lawyers expected to pick up where they left off yesterday, trying to undermine rick gates' credibility in the eyes of the jury. gates admitted to a host of transgressions. so far, manafort's defense team has not done much to pin the bank and tax fraud their client is charged with on gates alone. that part of their cross examination may come later today. more now from cnn's jessica schneider. >> reporter: christine and phil, paul manafort's lawyers went on the attack against rick gates on
occasion how to add information to a pdf document, and when gates said that when he got the document back, manafort had actually changed some of the numbers, falsifying some of their financial reports. of course, rick gates was a close associate to paul manafort for 12 years, but now he's flipped. he pleaded guilty, and he's telling all he knows to prosecutors. so, it will be interesting when he is back on the stand for more cross examination this morning. christine and phil? >> all right, jess that schneider, thank you for that. legal woes multiplying for michael cohen. the "wall street journal" reporting president trump's former lawyer and fixer is now under investigation for tax fraud. sources tell the "journal" the federal prosecutor in manhattan is looking into whether cohen underreported income from his taxi medallion business. the taxi licenses yielded hundreds of thousands of dollars over the last five years. the "wall street journal" also reporting federal investigators are looking into possible fraud against the bank that financed cohen's taxi medallion business. cohen has not been charged with a crime, and he previously
denied wrongdoing. firefighters are still struggling to contain the largest wildfire in california history. at this point, the mendocino complex fire has scorched nearly 293,000 acres. 75 homes have been destroyed. and the fire at this point is only 34% contained. firefighters are up against hot, dry, and windy conditions. cnn's stephanie elam has the latest from mendocino, california. >> reporter: christine and phil, we are standing in the midst of some of the devastation from the mendocino complex fire, which is actually two fires that started about the same time, burning near each other here. and you can see how hot this fire got. the devastation here, even in this rural community. you can see that it has really ravaged some of the properties that are here. and just to give you an idea of how bad the fire season has been, if you go down just blocks from where we are, there's another building that's burned down. you might think it's from this fire. it's actually from a different one. all in all right now, there are some 17 fires that are burning in the state. and just to give you an idea of
companies who have been close allies to the trump administration over the last few years. all right, elon musk may remove tesla from the scrutiny of wall street, taking it private in what would be the biggest buyout in history. musk simply stunned investors with this casually worded tweet yesterday, writing that he's considering taking tesla private. he's already secured the funding. he didn't say where he got the money, but going private would cost, oh, about $71 billion, by far the largest buyout ever. musk faces pressure to turn tesla into a profitable carmaker, but tesla has burned through cash as it struggles to produce its first mass-market car, the model 3. one analyst says this could be a way to strike back at wall street. >> this could be a temper tantrum by elon musk as a way of saying that i don't have to be bothered answering questions to market analysts or commentators or journalists or being under the scrutiny of wall street. >> he's a maverick. people who love him call him a maverick. some on wall street call him arrogant. and he has been contentious on
conference calls. musk told employees that going private is the best path forward, adding that being subject to wild swings in our stock price is a major distraction and going private removes incentives to attack tesla. he often complains about short sellers, who investors who profit when the stock drops. musk's tweet sent tesla's stock up 9%. trading was halted and later resumed, closing up 11%. it's really unusual to see such an outspoken ceo talking about these sorts of things. the reason why you're public is so that you have public investors, you have shares sold to the public, and you need to be very open and honest with how your company is going, and he sometimes gets angry about that. >> it's this weird thing, where you actually get a view into what he's thinking in realtime, which carries a lot of value, but it is also unusual and strange and possibly irresponsible. i do think it's his war with the shorts is playing huge in this. >> war with the shorts. >> read his twitter. you can see what i'm talking about. iowa college student mollie tibbetts now missing for three weeks. coming up, why her father believes she's still alive.

the white house is offering to send secretary of state mike pompeo back to pyongyang for a meeting with kim jong-un in a response to a letter sent by the north korean leader to president trump. national security adviser john bolton not ruling out a second summit between the two men, but first, he wants to see less rhetoric and more action on denuclearization from the kim regime. let's go live to hong kong and bring in cnn's will ripley. will, you've been all over this from the beginning. what's your sense of where things actually stand right now? >> reporter: it seems as if there is gridlock after secretary pompeo's most recent trip to pyongyang. basically, the north koreans felt that the u.s. walked in there, made all of these unilateral demands without being willing to give some of the things that the north koreans want that they say will build confidence, like easing sanctions step by step over time as opposed to all at once at the end of the denuclearization
process, and the north koreans also want a peace treaty formally ending the korean war, and they have expressed dismay that the united states hasn't pushed further to make that happen. they called it a bold move when i was speaking with a source about it a couple weeks ago. their foreign minister talked about it over the weekend in singapore when he was at the same security summit with secretary of state mike pompeo and they shook hands briefly. they exchanged letters, or the u.s. exchanged its letter to the north koreans in response to kim jong-un's letter to president trump, but there was no meeting. so, that's where we stand right now, gridlock. and a source told me a couple days ago that the north koreans feel to break that gridlock, the best solution from their perspective is a sit-down, a round two summit with president trump and kim jong-un. because even though the north koreans have criticized the state department and internal politics in the u.s., their messaging has consistently praised the president. they say he has a vision and they think that their leader and the president are the two best people to sit down and execute that vision. so, when could this summit potentially happen? well, we know that the united nations general assembly kicks
off next month in new york. a lot of world leaders fly in for that, phil. could kim jong-un be one of them? as the president likes to say often, stay tuned. >> that would be a circus, but an interesting one. a fashion nacinating dynamic. will ripley, thank you. to iowa now, where the reward for a missing student is now over $300,000. mollie tibbetts' father says he believes his daughter is still alive. >> i think the longer this goes on, in the absence of finding her, that she could be someplace where we can still get her back. >> rob tibbetts says he believes his daughter may have gone willingly with someone she knew. his daughter was last seen jogging nearly three weeks ago. wayne cheney is someone who lives near the search area. he has been questioned by the fbi. he told "the des moines register" he refused to take a polygra polygraph, saying "i have nothing to hide." he has not been charged in connection with this case. mollie's father, rob, will join us on cnn's "new day" at 7:30

the digital divide is splitting this country. we have parents who are trying to get their kids off of too much social media and computers, and then we have parents who would only hope their children have access. middle school is a really key transition point, right. the stakes start changing. students begin to really start thinking about their futures. what i like about verizon's approach is that it's not limited to just giving kids new tools, it's really about empowering educators to teach in different ways, and exposing kids to more active forms of learning. giving technology is not a total solution. teaching technology, now that is.

vegas to d.c. they arrived just four hours before tip-off and decided they were just in no shape to play the game. the wnba tried to push tip-off back an hour, but the aces still said they didn't feel it was healthy to play. the league ended up ruling that the result of the game would be a forfeit. it was costly for the aces, who are now 2 1/2 games out of the final playoff spot. all right, mariners at the rangers last night. felix hernandez makes adrian beltre look silly on this strikeout. and watch felix. he just starts laughing at the swing beltre made. he then points to the dugout, tells him to go sit down. fast forward to the sixth inning and beltre gets his revenge with this blast. that's a home run to center. beltre gets the last laugh. rangers win, 11-4. finally, the series between the fargo more head redhawks and the chicago dogs may be the best independent league series of all time. after a bang-bang play at third base last night, the dogs' manager was so upset at the safe
call, he decided to take third base, and then he walks over to the side and he's going to give the base to a kid. now, this came a night after a redhawks player was so mad at being called out on strikes, he went into the dugout, got a trash can, and then placed it at home plate where the umpire normally stands. and you know what, guys, we have seen tens of thousands of tantrums in baseball over the last century. never seen that before. so, i definitely give that player points for creativity. >> you know, andy, we're going to know we're on your bad side when all of a sudden you show up after the tease and it's just the trash can in your chair. and like, it's an inventive move. that's why august minor league baseball, you know they're in a good place when that's starting to happen. >> and to think of that on the fly. props to that player. >> andy, thank you so much. up next, all eyes on ohio with a special election race that's still too close to call. and high drama in the courtroom as the star witness

in ohio's 12th district, if it is any indication, a blue wave may, in fact, be coming in november. in a special election many considered a bellwether for the midterms, the race between republican troy balderson and democrat danny o'connor is still too close to call this morning. an encouraging outcome for democrats in a deep red district, no matter how it plays out. still, there are more than 8,000 outstanding provisional and absentee ballots that could take days to count. balderson currently leads o'connor by less than one percentage point. both candidates spoke late last night, o'connor refusing to concede, balderson quick to claim victory. >> i'd like to thank president trump. [ cheers and applause ] america is on the right path, and we're going to keep it going that way. over the next three months, i'm going to do everything i can to keep america great again. >> as we see division and discord tearing apart our country, we must remember that each and every one of us are
god's children and that all of us need to be treated with dignity and respect. and i think we could use a lot more of that spirit in washington these days. >> president trump taking some time out from his working vacation to declare balderson the winner and take credit for it, even though the outcome is not quite yet official. the president tweeting, "when i decided to go to ohio for troy balderson, he was down in early voting, 63%-36%. that was not good. after my speech on saturday night, there was a big turn for the better. now troy wins a great victory during a very tough time of year for voting. he will win big in november." several other primaries to tell you about, including another race too close to call in kansas. secretary of state kris kobach, a hardliner on immigration who received president trump's endorsement locked in a tight race with jeff colyer. and in missouri, attorney general josh hawley is the winner of the gop primary for the senate. republicans are hoping he can
unseat democrat claire mccaskill in november. in the michigan gubernatorial primary, cnn projects state attorney general bill schuette will be the republican candidate in november. former state legislative leader gretchen whitmer will be the democratic candidate. cnn projects john james has captured the gop nomination for u.s. senate in michigan. james is an african-american iraq war vet endorsed by president trump. he will face democrat debbie stabenow in november. joining us this morning, cnn politics senior writer and analyst harry entin, who's been up all night. >> yes! >> look at the enthusiasm just exuding. >> let's start with ohio. you have until august 18th to know what the decision is, but this is a real test of this blue wave theory of the democrats. the gop outspent the dems 5-1 there in ohio. >> yeah, and this is a district that donald trump carried by 11 percentage points back in 2016. if you look at all the races dating back to 2012, the
republicans on average have won it by over 20 percentage points, state, local elections, presidential election. and the fact that it's still so close this morning is an indication that the environment is on the democrats' side. >> now, i want to move just quickly from ohio to another house area that i think is really important. you've been pointing this out. i've been keeping an eye on it all week as you talk about the broader national mood. washington state. >> yeah. >> you were keying on some races there that are showing some things that maybe we didn't expect. explain what you're seeing. >> yeah. so, washington has a unique primary system, just like california. the democrats run, all the republicans run, and basically, what we know is that the primary results, if you combine all the democrats and combine all the republicans, it tends to be predictable of the full result. and we've seen in three districts where republicans are really struggling. but the most shocking is washington's third district where congresswoman herrera butler was not thought at all to be in trouble, and in fact, right now, the cumulative democratic vote is actually beating the cumulative republican vote in that district. >> wild. she was not considered in play. >> she was not considered in
play. most race raters had that a solid republican. and the fact that the democrats have more votes right now than the republicans indicates that that district may be in play in the fall. >> let's talk about kansas. >> kris kobach, obviously, we all know this story, right? he was endorsed by donald trump. trump decided to go against the incumbent governor. and right now, that race is so close to call. we're waiting on johnson county. colyer is doing well in johnson county, but kobach is holding on to this tight lead. >> 500 votes. >> 500 votes. that's basically where it's been, 500, 800, all evening long, as i've been waiting and waiting and waiting, and it just is not coming, but we'll find out later today, hopefully. >> we respect johnson county and their processes. we wish they would be a little bit quicker. >> i wish they would be a little bit faster. it honestly is giving me nightmares about florida 2000 all over again. >> can i ask just a broad topline? you look at john james in michigan, you look at jim schuette, kris kobach, maybe, troy balderson, look at the last
10, 11 primaries. donald trump has endorsed candidates that have won, period. how much of that is the president and how much is just the districts of the states? >> i think he's obviously picking people who he thinks are going to win. i mean, if you look, for instance, in kansas can kris kobach, we had a poll taken last week that tended to show a very tight race. then what do we have tonight? a very, very tight race. so i'm not sure the president had too much of an impact there or in ohio, either, despite what he claims. the polling indicates beforehand it was a close race and it ended up being so. >> let's look at what he said about ohio, "when i decided to go to ohio for troy balderson, he was down in early voting." you can put up that tweet. "after my speech saturday night, there was a turn for the better. now troy faces a victory in a tough year for voting. he will win big in november." the second word in the tweet about troy balderson is "i," which is sort of, you know -- >> what a surprise, the
president is taking credit for something? look, early voting in ohio always leans democratic. remember, hillary clinton was up large in the early returns in 2016 before donald trump won that state by eight points. the fact that danny o'connor was up in the early vote and then you saw a republican gaining, gaining, gaining, not really a big surprise. that's what most of the polling indicated and that's exactly what happened. >> is the polling okay? in 2016, polling was all over the place and was a real surprise for people. >> unbelievably, so far in the special elections, the polling has actually been above average for special elections. and if you looked at that final poll in ohio, it showed that balderson was up by a point. and how much is he leading by now? one point. >> a point. >> the wendy's order was good last night. the cream soda was good. >> all of the food and drinks i had in order to keep me awake are clearly working at this hour, although i'll leave that up to you. >> that was some of your best material. this is one of your best appearances ever. >> this has been really good. they let you go to sleep on august 18th. that will be great. >> august 18th? i'm going to stay awake until at least november. if we have a runoff in mississip mississippi, i'll be awake for
that, too. >> that's why you're the best in the business. >> harry enten, thank you. rick gates, paul manafort's former right-hand man, back on the stand today. the lawyers are picking up from yesterday, trying to undermine rick gates' credibility in the eyes of the jury. gates has admitted to a host of transgressions. so far, manafort's defense team has not done much to pin the bank and tax fraud their client is charged with on gates alone. that part of the cross examination may come today. more from cnn's jessica schneider. >> reporter: christine and phil, paul manafort's lawyers went on the attack against rick gates on tuesday. they hammered him with questions that even led gates to admit on the stand that he had an extramarital affair a decade ago. but when attorneys accused him of using paul manafort's money to fund his so-called secret life, gates pushed back, saying the money actually came from bonuses. now, of course, the defense team is doing everything they can to attack the integrity of paul manafort's former right-hand
man. gates said he had made some mistakes, but he insisted to the jury that he is now telling the truth. and the defense team really wants to establish that rick gates was the one who developed that financial scheme to hide money from the u.s. government, not paul manafort. paul manafort's lawyer even asked the direct question of gates -- did you develop a scheme? and gates responded, no, i just added some numbers to some reports. but really, prosecutors have gone to great lengths to show that it was, in fact, manafort in charge. at the end of gates' direct examination, prosecutors were painstaking to show the process where manafort asked gates on indication how to add information to a pdf document. and when gates said that when he got the document back, manafort had actually changed some of the numbers, falsifying some of their financial reports. of course, rick gates was a close associate to paul manafort for 12 years, but now he's flipped, he flooded guilty, and he's telling all he knows to prosecutors.
so, it will be interesting when he is back on the stand for more cross examination this morning. christine and phil? >> all right, jessica schneider, thank you for that. last night, president trump hosted an informal dinner for some of the country's top business leaders at his bedminster golf club. the president and first lady welcomed more than two dozen ceos and their spouses, including pepsi, fiat chrysler, fedex, boeing. >> welcome to bedminster. it's great to have you here. we're looking for a great discussion tonight. and i just want to thank the president for doing an incredible job and for all of your help. >> the policies of the other administration would have been more regulation and much higher taxes. and what you're witnessing now could never have happened. and growth has taken us out of a lot of problems that have been caused. and you're going to see super growth soon, when it's all said, when it's like a fine-tuned machine. you're going to see some really
super growth. >> the guest list also included the heads of much smaller companies who have been loyal trump supporters. and firefighters are struggling to contain the largest wildfire in california history. at this point, the mendocino complex fire has scorched nearly 293,000 acres. 75 homes have been destroyed. and the fire is only 34% contained. firefighters are up against hot, dry, and windy conditions. cnn's stephanie elam has the latest from mendocino, california. >> reporter: christine and phil, we are standing in the midst of some of the devastation from the mendocino complex fire, which is actually two fires that started about the same time, burning near each other here. and you can see how hot this fire got. the devastation here, even in this rural community, you can see that it has really ravaged some of the properties that are here. and just to give you an idea of how bad the fire season has been, if you go down just a couple blocks from where we are, there is another building that's burned down. you might think it's from this fire. it's actually from a different one. all in all right now, there are
some 17 fires that are burning in the state. and just to give you an idea of how bad this fire season has been with this one being the largest fire in state history at this point, some 550,000 acres of land that had been burned in the last three weeks because of wildfires. and phil and christine, fire season is far from over here. >> all right, stephanie. thank you for that. in iowa, university of iowa college student mollie tibbetts now missing for three weeks. coming up, why her father believes she is still alive. plus, a manhunt under way after a gun fight at a national night out event. details are straight ahead.

meteorologist pedram javaheri has the forecast. >> the setup impressive this morning, starting off again in the lower 80s. guess what, the average temperature this time of year in boston, the average high temperature about 82 degrees. what it feels like outside right now, just about that temperature. sits at 81 in portland, 74 in new york. feels nearly 80 degrees, even presunrise yet again. and of course, the heat continues. some scattered showers across the northeast here. that will hopefully begin to give us a trend of a shift towards cooler weather, but still upwards of 40-plus million people underneath heat advisories. includes boston, includes new york, includes philly. you put in what it feels like into the afternoon hours, should be somewhere around 97 to 99 degrees in a lot of these areas, again, with the humidity. but new york, high temp around 88, boston around 87. down towards the south, widespread upper 80s, lower 90s as well. houston around 94 degrees. notice the trend, though, very uniform the next couple of days. the cooling we were hoping for, it's there, but it's going to take its time getting there. and you take a look. we think sometime saturday into
sunday we get a slight cooling trend in store across this region, temps over the next couple of days, places like new york, eventually drop down to 81 degrees and may even stick around there for a couple of days going into early next week. guys? >> all right, thanks, p.j. investigators are trying to identify the remains of a boy found during a search of a new mexico compound where 11 children were found living in fil filth. investigators say they discovered the remains of an unidentified child inside that compound on monday. authorities raided the compound last week in what initially started as an investigation into a man's alleged abduction of his son last year. sheriffs officials say the children ranging from ages 1 to 15 were found in squalled conditions, no running water or electricity. five adults have been arrested. the reward for a missing iowa college student is now over $300,000. mollie tibbetts' father says he believes his daughter is still alive. >> i think the longer this goes on, in the absence of finding
her, that she could be someplace where we can still get her back. >> rob tibbetts says he believes his daughter may have gone willingly with someone she knew. his daughter was last seen taking a jog three weeks ago. wayne cheney, who lives near the search area, has been questioned by the fbi. he told "the des moines register" he has refused to take a polygraph, saying, "i have nothing to hide." he's not been charged in connection with the case. now, mollie's father, rob, will join us on cnn's "new day" at 7:30 a.m. in the east. new this morning, a manhunt under way right now in new jersey after two plain-clothed detectives were ambushed at a red light. police say the detectives were sitting at a red light in camden during a community policing event called the national night out. the gunman walked up and emptied 25 rounds into the officer's car. amazingly, the detective's injuries are described as nonlife-threatening. one officer returned fire. police are checking local hospitals now for the gunman. >> wow. the city of chicago vowing to put hundreds of additional police officers on the streets.
the move coming after 66 people were shot over the weekend. 12 people died. chicago's police chief says 430 officers are being put on street duty while 200 more will patrol over the weekend. all right, let's get a check on "cnn money" this morning. global stocks mixed at this hour. wall street shaking off trade fears, thanks to strong corporate earnings. the s&p 500 closed just shy of a record high, less than half a percent away from its january record close. it has been a stellar second quarter for companies. profit growth is the highest in years, but the season's not over yet. today you can expect to hear from 21st century fox and cvs. all right, tesla jumped 11% after ceo elon musk said he may take tesla private, trying to get out from under the scrutiny of wall street and analysts. disney is gearing up to take on streaming services. for years, disney faced tough competition from companies like netflix. yesterday, ceo bob iger laid out disney's high-stakes plan to fight back. first, they will rely on its own streaming platforms, including
hulu and the recently launched espn plus. it also plans to debut a family-friendly service next year featuring content from pixar, marvel, disney, and "star wars." second, it will use new content from fox on those platforms. disney plans to buy fox's entertainment assets for $71 billion, including its movie studio and tv channels. snapchat's revenue grew 44% last quarter, but it lost users for the first time ever. snapchat is down 3 million daily users. snap blamed a rocky redesign of its app, but it's not the only social media company to see a slowdown. shares in facebook and twitter both fell after reporting slowing user growth. facebook lost more than $100 billion in value in one day. that's a record for a u.s. company because of those concerns that putting privacy first is going to mean profits will be second. >> well, pretty important. >> yep. coming up, a fighter jet launches a missile by mistake! yes, that would be a mistake. the story just ahead. plus, a brand-new rocket-powered jet with an extreme need for speed.

estonia's prime minister called it extremely regrettable. china says it successfully tested its first hypersonic aircraft. the waverider uses shock waves in the air generated by its own flight to soar faster than five times the speed of sound. experts say it can carry nuclear war heads and that its speed and unpredictable trajectory make it nearly impossible for any antimissile defense systems to intercept it. >> when we first did the story in the 4:00 a.m. hour, they let me sing. that's been a move from the script, which i think means it's a judgment on my actual singing, so i won't ever do that again. >> a story about l.a. real estate. here's the news, we now know the owner of "the brady bunch" house, it's hgtv. they say the house will be restored to its 1970s glory. the house listed at a starting price of almost $1.9 million. former 'n sync member lance bass bid on the house and tweeted his disappointment at losing out earlier this week, but have no fear, all seems to be forgiven
with this tweet -- "kudos hgtv. i know you will do the right thing with the house. that was always my biggest worry. i can smile again." speaking of smiling, while you were sleeping, the late-night shows made light of the president's dinner with some of america's business heavyweights. >> the president is still on vacation at his new jersey golf club and i saw that tonight he had dinner with a group of ceos. he didn't want their input. he wanted their network because he might need a new job soon. and one of the other ceos at the dinner was from fedex. at first, trump was nervous because those are the two things that cause him the most stress, the feds and his exes. no, no, please, don't. actually, this is very interesting. i read this. most of the ceos arrived in limos, while the ceo of fedex was just tossed over the fence. >> president trump had dinner with the ceos of several large companies tonight at his private golf club in new jersey. and when bernie sanders heard about it, the rest of his hair

75 homes have been destroyed, and the fire at this point only 34% contained. now, firefighters are up against a myriad of issues here, but chief amongst them, hot, dry, and windy conditions. cnn's stephanie elam has the latest from california. >> reporter: christina and phil, we are standing in the midst of some of the devastation from the mendocino complex fire, which is actually two fires that started about the same time, burning near each other here. and you can see how hot this fire got. the devastation here, even in this rural community, you can see that it has really ravaged some of the properties that are here. and just to give you an idea of how bad the fire season has been, if you go down just blocks from where we are, there's another building that's burned down. you might think it's from this fire. it's actually from a different one. all in all, there are some 17 fires that are burning in the state. and just to give you an idea of how bad this fire season has been with this one being the largest fire in state history at this point, some 550,000 acres of land that had been burned in the last three weeks because of

on another $16 billion in chinese goods, bringing the total value to $50 billion. the trump administration released its list of 279 products yesterday, targeting things like chemicals, motorcycles, and antennas. the 25% tariff will take effect august 23rd. chinese state media slammed the move overnight, warning that wantingly raising tariffs will only hurt the u.s. beijing already said it would strike back in equal measure, just like last month when the u.s. imposted tariffs on chinese goods worth $34 billion. wall street shrugged off the first round, but u.s. business warned they will raise prices for consumers, especially as the trade spat escalates. the white house is threatening an additional $200 billion in tariffs on chinese goods. china plans to hit back with its own tariffs worth $60 billion. the trump administration says the tariffs are punishment for china's unfair trade practices, like stealing u.s. technology, stealing u.s. trade secrets. beijing denies those allegations. >> the street reaction to this has been fascinating, or lack of
reaction. >> the supergrowth that the president talked about, that's really -- earnings have been so good because of some of these trump policies, like cutting taxes. i mean, that's really been the most important here. so, at this point, they feel like the trade war is contained, and there are some who say if you didn't have this trade spat, you'd see stocks even better. >> yeah. worth watching. obviously not stopping any time soon. all right, iowa college student mollie tibbetts now missing for three weeks. coming up, why her father believes she's still alive. and why secretary of state mike pompeo may be headed back to pyongyang. a live report after this. my name is jeff sheldon, and i'm the founder of ugmonk. before shipstation it was crazy. it's great when you see a hundred orders come in, a hundred orders come in, but then you realize i've got a hundred orders i have to ship out. shipstation streamlined that wh the order data, the weights of , everything is seamlessly

and a the lot of folks saying, what have the north koreans done? what have they exhibited in terms of denuclearization to earn a second very high-profile meeting? >> reporter: well, this from the north korean perspective -- not launching anything since last november, blowing up their nuclear test site, although some experts question what really happened there, possibly dismantling their satellite launch station and they returned 55 sets of u.s. service member remains. so from their perspective, they feel they've done quite a bit, but what they haven't done according to the global community is steps towards denuclearization and they say they've done enough, they want the u.s. to do something now. they want gradual sanctions relief right away, not at the end of the process, which the u.s. has said they'll do only once the nukes are out. that's not acceptable to the north koreans. and they also want a peace treaty formally ending the korean war. we've been saying for a couple beaks. north korea's foreign minister reiterated that over the weekend and blasted the state
department, saying that the u.s. state department's stance post summit is not helpful, is not helping them build confidence and could derail the denuclearization talks, but he also praised president trump, saying president trump has a vision, the north koreans believe in that vision, and my source telling me the north koreans want to sit down face-to-face with trump. so, now you have john bolton saying that a meeting could happen, maybe at the united nations general assembly next month. we just don't know. they probably haven't set a date or time yet, according to the trump administration. but it does seem the north koreans feel they're going to get a more favorable deal if they're face-to-face with trump, than anyone else, including secretary of state pompeo. >> will ripley, thank you. investigators are trying to identify the remains of a boy found during the search of a new mexico compound where 11 children were discovered living in filthy, decrepit conditions. investigators say they recovered the remains of an unidentified child inside the compound on monday. now, authorities raided the compound last week in what initially started as an investigation into a man's alleged abduction of his son
last year. county sheriff's officials say the children ranging in age from 1 to 15 were turned over to state child welfare workers. the children found living in squalled conditions with no running water or electricity. police say they looked emaciated. five adults have been arrested. the reward for a missing iowa college student now over $300,000. mollie tibbetts' father says he believes his daughter is still alive. >> i think the longer this goes on, the absence of finding her, that she could be someplace where we can still get her back. >> rob tibbetts says he believes his daughter may have gone willingly with someone she knew. his daughter was last seen taking a jog three weeks ago. wayne chaney, who lives near the search area, has been questioned by the fbi. he told "the des moines register" he has refused to take a polygraph, saying "i have nothing to hide." he has not been charged in connection with this case.
mollie's father, rob, will join us on cnn's "new day" at 7:30 a.m. eastern time. >> definitely tune in for that. i think the reward's $300,000 right now? the city of chicago vowing to put hundreds of additional police officers on the streets, the move coming after 66 people were shot over the weekend. of those, 12 people died. chicago's police chief says 430 officers are being put on street duty while 200 more will be on patrol over the weekend. some officers will have their hours extended or vacations canceled. officials say others are also being reassigned from other duties. a fighter jet launches a missile by mistake. that's a real bad day. >> oops. >> for that pilot. that story just ahead. plus, a brand-new chinese rocket with a need for speed. when i received the diagnoses, i knew at that exact moment ... i'm beating this. my main focus was to find a team of doctors. it's not just picking a surgeon, it's picking the care team and feeling secure in where you are. visit cancercenter.com/breast
an air-to-air missile accidentally launched over eston estonia. a search is under way to find the missile, which is believed to have landed perhaps 25 miles north of tartu. the spanish fighter jet accidentally fired it during a policing mission. the foreign minister called the incident extremely regrettable and also called the nato air mission over the baltic country necessary to estonia's national security. china says it successfully tested its first hypersonic aircraft. it's a big first step forward in aerospace technology that could intensify pressure on the u.s. military. the waverider uses shock waves in the air generated by its own flight to soar faster than five times the speed of sound. experts say it can carry nuclear
warheads and that its speed and unpredictable trajectory made it nearly impossible for any antimissile defense systems to interse intersect. the story of the winning bidder. with that, i have done what i said i would never do, and that is sing on live television. but more importantly, we now know hdtv is the new owner of "the brady bunch" house. the chief executive of the parent company, discovery, said the house in north hollywood will be restored to its 1970s glory. architectural genius in that era, i think. the house was listed at a starting price of $1.9 million. former 'n sync band member lance bass expressed his disappointment on social media at losing out on the house but it seems all is forgiven with bass tweeting in part "kudos, hgtv. i know you will do the right thing with the house. that is always my biggest worry. i can smile again." >> gosh, that house iconic. how much, $1.9 million?
>> that's not terrible, right? >> well, in california. >> hey, i could ooi couldn't -- >> you could buy ten houses in my hometown for that. next, all eyes on ohio with a special election race that's still too close to call. and high drama in the courtroom as the star witness against paul manafort is confronted about an extramarital affair.
witness, painting rick gates as a cheater and a thief who can't be trusted. firefighters gain some ground on the largest wildfire in california history, but the battle far from over. tesla boss elon musk stuns wall street with a public declaration of his private ambitions. welcome back to "early start." i'm phil mattingly. >> i'm christine romans. it is 31 minutes past the hour. nice to have you here. phil, let's begin with the elections last night. if ohio's 12th district is any indication, a blue wave may be coming in november. in a special election many considered a bellwether for the midterms, the race between republican troy balderson and democrat danny o'connor is too close to call this morning. now, it's an encouraging outcome for democrats in a deep red district, no matter how this plays out. there are still more than 8,000 outstanding provisional and absentee ballots that could take days to count. balderson currently leads o'connor by less than one percentage point, less than 2,000 votes. the candidates, both candidates spoke last night, o'connor refusing to concede, balderson
quick to claim victory. >> i'd like to thank president trump. [ cheers and applause ] america is on the right path, and we're going to keep it going that way. over the next three months, i'm going to do everything i can to keep america great again. >> as we see division and discord tearing apart our country, we must remember that each and every one of us are god's children and that all of us need to be treated with dignity and respect, and i think we could use a lot more of that spirit in washington these days. >> president trump taking time out from his working vacation to declare balderson the winner and take credit for it, even though the outcome is still not official here. the president tweeting, "when i decided to go to ohio for troy balderson, he was down in early voting, 64%-36%. that was not good. after my speech saturday nights, there was a big turn for the better. now troy wins a big victory in a
tough time of the year for voting. he will win big in november." >> that's not how early voting works. several other primaries to tell you about, including another race too close to call in johnson county, kansas. secretary of state kris kobach, a hardliner on immigration who received president trump's endorsement, locked intight race with governor jeff colyer. the official result could be announced later today, johnson county. and in missouri, josh hawley is predicted to be winner for the republican primary for senate. they're hoping he will take the seat in november. and it is predicted that state attorney general in michigan bill schuette will be the candidate in november, another trump endorsement. gretchen whitmer will be the democratic candidate. and john james, another trump-endorsed candidate, is predicted to capture the u.s. nomination for senate in michigan. james is an african-american iraq war vet endorsed by the president. he will face democrat debbie stabenow in november. former trump campaign
chairman paul manafort's longtime right-hand man back on the witness stand today. manafort's defense lawyers expected to pick up where they left off yesterday, trying to undermine rick gates' credibility in the eyes of this jury. gates admitted to a host of transgressions, but so far, manafort's defense team has not done much to pin the bank and tax fraud their client is charged with on gates alone. that part of their cross examination may come today. more now from cnn's jessica schneider. >> reporter: christine and phil, paul manafort's lawyers went on the attack against rick gates on tuesday. they hammered him with questions that even led gates to admit on the stand that he had an extramarital affair a decade ago. but when attorneys accused him of using paul manafort's money to fund his so-called secret life, gates pushed back, saying the money came from bonuses. of course, the defense team is doing all they can to attack the integrity of paul manafort's former right-hand man. gates said he had made some mistakes, but he insisted to the
jury that he is now telling the truth. and the defense team really wants to establish that rick gates was the one who developed that financial scheme to hide money from the u.s. government, not paul manafort. paul manafort's lawyer even asked the direct question of gates, did you develop a scheme? and then gates responded, no, i just added some numbers to some reports. but really, prosecutors have gone to great lengths to show that it was, in fact, manafort in charge. at the end of gates' disrespect examination, prosecutors were painstaking to show the process where manafort asked gates on occasion how to add information to a pdf document. and when gates said that when he got the document back, manafort had actually changed some of the numbers, falsifying some of their financial reports. of course, rick gates was a close associate to paul manafort for 12 years, but now he's flipped. he pleaded guilty, and he's telling all he knows to prosecutors. so, it will be interesting when he is back on the stand for more
cross examination this morning. christine and phil? >> that's right, another big day today. thanks, jessica schneider in alexandria. along those lines, legal woes multiplying for michael cohen. the "wall street journal" reporting president trump's former lawyer and fixer is now under investigation for tax fraud. sources tell "the journal" the federal prosecutor in man hahat is looking into whether he underreported income from his taxi medallion business. the licenses yielded hundreds of thousands of dollars over the last five years. the "wall street journal" also reporting federal investigators are looking into possible fraud against the bank that financed cohen's taxi medallion business. cohen has not been charged with a crime and "the journal" reports he previously denied any wrongdoing. firefighters struggling to contain the largest wildfire in california history. at this point, the mendocino complex fire has scorched nearly 293,000 acres. 75 homes have been destroyed. the fire only 34% contained. firefighters are up against hot, dry, windy conditions. our stephanie elam has the
latest from mendocino. >> reporter: christine and phil, we are standing in the midst of some of the devastation from the mendocino complex fire, which is actually two fires that started about the same time, burning near each other here. and you can see how hot this fire got. the devastation here, even in this rural community, you can see that it has really ravaged some of the properties that are here. and just to give you an idea of how bad the fire season has been, if you go down just blocks from where we are, there's another building that's burned down. you might think it's from this fire. it's actually from a different one. all in all right now, there are some 17 fires burning in the state. and just to give you an idea of how bad this fire season has been with this one being the largest in state history at this point, some 550,000 acres of land that had been burned in the last three weeks because of wildfires. and phil and christine, fire season is far from over here. >> all right. stephanie, thank you for that. president trump claiming without evidence california's environmental regulations have worsened the fires raging there. the president tweeting this --
california wildfires are being magnified by the bad environmental laws which aren't allowing massive amounts of readily available water to be properly utilized. it is being diverted into the pacific ocean. all right, state and federal officials and wildlife experts say the claims are simply false. they say there is plenty of water to fight the flames. there is a debate in california on how much should go to cities and to farmland, but officials say water is not being deliberated flushed into the ocean. where the president got that idea, not even the white house can say. while his tweets sometimes correspond to segments on fox news, that doesn't seem to be the case. >> never a dull moment. last night, president trump hosted an informal dinner for some of the country's top business leaders at his bedminster golf club. the president and first lady welcoming more than two dozen ceos and their spouses, including the heads of pepsi, fiat chrysler, fedex, and boeing. >> welcome to bedminster. it's great to have you here. and we're looking for a great
discussion tonight. and i just want to thank the president for doing an incredible job and for all of your help. >> the policies of the other administration would have been more regulation and much higher taxes. and what you're witnessing now could never have happened. and growth has taken us out of a lot of problems that have been caused. and you're going to see supergrowth very soon, when it's all said, when it's like a fine-tuned machine. you're going to see some really super growth. >> last night's guest list also included the heads of much smaller companies, those who have been loyal trump supporters over the last two years. all right, elon musk may remove tesla from the scrutiny of wall street, taking it private in what would be the biggest buyout in history. musk stunned investors with a casually worded tweet yesterday, writing that he is considering taking tesla private. he already secured funding. musk did not say where he got the funds, but going private would cost about $71 billion, by far the largest buyout ever.
he faces pressure to turn them into a profitable carmaker, but tesla's burned through crash while struggling to produce the first mass-market car, the model 3. so musk said this is the best path forward, saying swings in the stock price is a distraction and going private reduces incentives to attack tesla. and also reduces short sellers. musk's tweet sent tesla's stock up 9% before trading was halted. it later resumed, de l closing . he is not the typical ceo that very carefully tries to say nothing to investors, you know -- >> an underestimate. remember when they used to halt stocks before the news was actually made? also, hey, let's make them great again. iowa college student mollie tibbetts now missing for three weeks. coming up, why her father believes she's still alive. and why secretary of state mike pompeo may be headed back to pyongyang. ahh... summer is coming.

the white house is offering to send secretary of state mike pompeo back to pyongyang for a meeting with kim jong-un in response to a letter sent by the north korean leader to president trump. national security adviser john bolton not ruling out a second summit between the two men, but first, he wants to see less rhetoric and more action when it comes to denuclearization from the kim regime. let's go live to hong kong and bring in cnn's will ripley. will, there's a lot of back-and-forth -- meetings, who might be in the meetings, what north korea's actually doing. what's your sense of where things stand? >> reporter: i think the bottom line, if you listen to what the north koreans are saying, listen to what the trump administration is saying, keeping things open to another meeting between kim jong-un and president trump, something my source told me earlier this week the north koreans want as well, and they think there's a strong possibility there will be a second trump/kim summit this year. the reason for this is that the north koreans feel that they can carve out the best deal directly with president trump. i mean, north korea's foreign
minister over the weekend blasted the state department, said that the unilateral demands to give up nukes, no sanctions relief until all the nukes are out of the country, that's a nonstarter for the north koreans. they said this is old thinking, this isn't going to build confidence. now, critics would say that north korea hasn't taken any meaningful steps yet towards denuclearization, so why should they be awarded with a second summit? but the north koreans, while criticizing the state department and what they call internal strife in domestic politics in the u.s., they continue to praise president trump and say his vision set forth with their leader, kim jong-un, is forward thinking and this other type of stuff that u.s. secretary of state mike pompeo brought when visiting pyongyang was the old mind-set in the united states. so, they're banking on another sit-down with kim and trump, thinking that kim can get some sort of a deal, a more substantive deal out of trump that's going to be favorable for the north koreans, and they're wanting it to happen potentially before the midterm elections, because they know that president trump would like to point to north korea as a win.
if the deal were to fall apart between now and then, it could potentially hurt president trump politically. the north koreans know that. so then you think about, okay, so, where, when might this meeting happen? there is the united nations general assembly next month in new york. a lot of world leaders fly in for that. could kim jong-un be one of them? and could he meet with president trump somewhere, maybe trump tower? unthinkable a couple years ago, but this is 2018, phil. you just never know. >> about as good as you can put it. singapore felt like a sprint. last couple weeks makes it feel like this is a marathon. either way, will ripley will be participating in both. will in hong kong, thank you very much. >> make sure your laces are tied, will. vice president mike pence heads to the pentagon on thursday to discuss the future of the u.s. military in space. president trump has been calling for the development of a space force. pence's arrival is expected to coincide with the release of a pentagon report to congress that contains recommendations for space components. it is not expected to call for the establishment of a separate space force military branch. that would require action by congress.
investigators are trying to identify the remains of a boy found during a search of a new mexico compound where 11 children were found living in filthy conditions. those children ranging in age from 1 to 15 were turned over to state child welfare workers. cnn's scott mcclain has the latest from new mexico. >> reporter: christine, phil, last week, police raided this property in a remote part of northern new mexico and they found 11 children living in these conditions, in absolute squalor inside of a filthy trailer that's buried on the other side of this tarp. there's no power here, no water here. and when sheriff's deputies arrived, there was also very little food. those children were malnouri malnourished. it was a sad scene, for sure. but it wasn't until monday when police discovered the true horror. they found the body of a small child. that body has yet to be identified, but one of the five adults here that police arrested and charged was already wanted on a warrant in georgia after disappearing with his then 3-year-old son, abdul ghani
wahaj late last year. that boy has serious medical issues. his mother said he couldn't walk, has seizures, and needed constant medical attention. the actual owners of this property say that they saw that boy earlier this year. and this spring, they realized that the father was wanted in georgia after searching his name online. they said they called police as soon as they realized the connection, but it was months before law enforcement actually showed up just a few days ago. >> i can't sleep. i can't -- it's awful! what if he's still there? what if he was there at some point and the cops could have went in and, you know, maybe they would have found him. >> reporter: now, the local sheriff here says his hands were tied. even though the rightful property owners, jason and tanya badger, gave him permission to search here, he said that the law simply did not allow it. that is not sitting well with the badgers, though. tanya actually showed up here after the news broke that that body had been found to lay down flowers in memory of the boy
that she says was failed by bureaucracy. it's not clear when that child died, but the badgers, they are haunted by the idea that he might have been saved. christine, phil? >> all right. thank you for that. the reward for a missing iowa college student is now over $300,000. mollie tibbetts' father says he believes his daughter is still alive. >> i think the longer this goes on, in the absence of finding her, that she could be someplace where we can still get her back. >> rob tibbetts says he believes his daughter may have gone willingly with someone she knew. his daughter was last seen jogging three weeks ago. wayne cheney, who lives near the search area, has been questioned by the fbi. he told "the des moines register" he has refused to take a polygraph, saying, "i have nothing to hide." he has not been charged in connection with the case. mollie's father, rob, will join us on cnn's "new day" at 7:30 a.m. eastern time.

warheads and that its speed and unpredictable trajectory make it nearly impossible for any antimissile defense systems to intercept it. you guys are going to try to make me do it again, aren't you? >> please. >> i sing once an hour. that's in my contract officially. if it isn't, i'm putting it in there. all right, here's the story of the winning bidder. imagine that with music. we now know hgtv is the new owner of "the brady bunch" house. the chief executive of the company's parent company, discovery, said the house in north hollywood will be restored to all its 1970s glory. the house was listed at a starting price of almost $1.9 million. former 'n sync band member lance bass took to social media this week to express his disappointment at losing out on the house, but it seems all is now forgiven, with bass tweeting, in part, "kudos, hgtv. i know you will do the right thing with the house. that was always my biggest worry. i can smile again." >> $1.9 mill in los angeles. >> $1.9 mill in ohio, where i'm
from, would buy you like 12 to 15 houses. >> i know! all right, let's get a check on "cnn money." global stocks taking off on trade fears, mostly higher overnight thanks to earnings. on wall street, the s&p 500 closed just shy of a record high. it is less than 0.5% away from its january record-high close. second-quarter earnings are strong. profit growth the biggest in years. but the season is not over yet. today you'll hear from 21st century fox and cvs. tesla the big stock story yesterday. the stock jumped 11% after ceo elon musk says he may take tesla private. more on that later. disney's gearing up to take on streaming services. for years, disney faced tough competition from companies like netflix. yesterday, ceo bob iger laid out disney's high-stakes plan to fight back. first, disney will rely on its own streaming platforms, including hulu and the recently launched espn plus. it also plans to debut a family-friendly service next year featuring content from pixar, marvel, disney, and "star
wars." second, it will use new content from fox on those platforms. disney plans to buy fox's entertainment assets for $71 billion, including its movie studio and tv channels. snapchat lost users for the first time ever but made nearly twice as much money as last year. snap's revenue soared 44%, but it lost 3 million daily users. snap blamed a rocky redesign of its app, but it's not the only social media company to see a slowdown. shares of facebook and twitter both fell after reporting slowing user growth. facebook lost more than $100 billion in value in one day, a record for a u.s. company. remember facebook said it was going to put privacy first, and that would mean it would have to spend big. >> i'm sorry i didn't sing. i feel bad now. >> we'll put it on twitter anyway. "early start" continues right now. i'd like to thank president trump. [ cheers and applause ]
PresidentCreditVotingThingGateBig-in-novemberMomentumResultsDegreeRaceEndorsementPrimariessucceeded where others failed. >> we have a president who really wants to fight for the american people and he wants to make sure that the rule of law is followed. and so when you have a case like this where in 2004 this individual is told that he is no longer a u.s. citizen and must be deported and consecutive administrations ignores that it tears down the rule of law. it takes somebody like the president to say this is a decision. he is no longer a united states citizen. we want him out. >> sandra: brian yenis joins us in new york. what more do we know about how this former nazi guard managed to get into the united states? >> look, this nazi guard has been living here since 1949 as a war refugee. he lied to u.s. immigration officials telling them he spent world war ii working on his father's farm in his hometown of what was poland, present day ukraine and said he worked in a
farming down of brooklyn, a close knit community of 1500 residents. it has been weeks where that community has come together. law enforcement officials both local and federal have been searching for this missing girl who was last seen while she was jogging. we have had her father on this program on multiple occasions. her brother, her boyfriend have all been part of this search. he had just recently in the past day or so reluctantly returned, her dad, returned back to where he lives in california as the search continued. he said very reluctantly i'm being told i need to do this as the search continued. now this news this morning two sources telling fox news that her body has been found. mollie tibbetts, the 20-year-old rising sophomore at the university of iowa.
her disappearance was completely out of character for her. she had been staying at her boyfriend's home while he had been traveling. he was working on construction about 100 miles away from that home. she was dog sitting at the time, her boyfriend said. matt finn has been on the story from the beginning. matt, what are you learning? >> sandra, this morning two separate sources telling fox news that mollie's body was found near iowa. we don't know exactly where or the circumstances. just a tragic ending to the story. mollie tibbetts father just returned to california. he was closing the door being on the ground in iowa. his heart was still there and now unfortunately he is probably being called back, sandra. >> sandra: authorities had really encouraged this search to continue both locally and the surrounding areas as we know. again, matt, this news just coming. we don't know where about her body has been found. a local hog farmer had been interviewed on multiple
occasions. he had turned down a lie detector test and then agreed to one. he passed that. are you getting any indication whatsoever, matt, about where her body has been found or how wide the search had been at this point? >> well, you know, when we were on the ground as we were leaving iowa there were a couple key areas being identified that investigators were honing in on. one was a car wash where she was close to where she was last seen jogging. another area was a truck stop which is right off the exit of i-80 for brooklyn. as the investigation expanded and mollie could be anywhere investigators were closing in on an area. they didn't tell us why, the truck stop because so many people would have been getting on and off the interstate. sources not identifying where
her body was found but one law enforcement source saying that it's in iowa. we don't know the nature of her body or what exactly happened. the reward was inching closer to $400,000. i'm told now that the motivation behind the reward will turn on a dime and use it to try to find who did this to mollie. >> sandra: it was an unusual search in that we didn't get a lot of updates from authorities on the ground there. they would schedule a news conference and then cancel it. it happened on multiple occasions. we still don't know why that was. there was speculation that the person of interest was so close. authorities had even suggested that the person who took mollie was searching amongst them, was attending the candlelight vigils. but the bottom line is there was really no persons of interest as this investigation continues, i should say, while
her body has been found, the investigation surely continues, matt. >> there was a lot of frustration on the ground. police were being so tight lipped. we all know if investigators release any information it can be used against them. so for quite some time people were pleading, give us more information, maybe we can help you identify a suspect. investigators never did that or let on if they had suspects or were completely at a loss for information. >> sandra: matt finn reporting on mollie tibbetts. two sources telling fox news her body has been found dead. we'll have more on this as we get it. thank you. >> eric: sad news for the tibbetts family. meanwhile president trump back in washington addressing the russia probe. in a new interview with reuters the president says he is worried about a potential perjury trap should he sit down and have an interview with the team of special counsel robert mueller. the president also talking about the ability, he says, to
control the investigation saying i could run it if i want but i decided to stay out. i'm totally allowed to be involved if i wanted to be. so far i haven't chosen to be involved. what does it mean? hugo gurdon is from "the washington examiner". as they say, anything you say when you sit down can be used against you in a court of law. the miranda spiel. does the president have a point in claiming a potential perjury trap if he sits down with investigators? >> sure he does. it's part of a negotiating employ. he and his lawyer want to limit the scope of the mueller questioning so it's useful for them to make this point. at the same time the president talks in a very undisciplined way sometimes and it wouldn't be very difficult for a trained lawyers, plenty on the mueller team, to catch him in inaccuracies whether they were deliberate deceipts or bravado. so yeah, it's legitimate but also convenient.
>> eric: how about those who say you don't have anything to worry about in a perjury trap if you just tell the truth? >> that's true. but just take for example what the president said about being able to run the mueller investigation if he wanted. that was -- i took that as a joke of bravado. it is an extension of the legal advice he has that he has lots of flexibility. he says things which get him into trouble and people take seriously. he is not the kind of witness that giuliani would like to put on the stand. >> eric: he also said if i say something that he, comey, says something and it's my word against his and he is best friends with mueller so mueller might say well, i believe comey, maybe even if i'm telling the truth it makes me a liar, it is no good. >> eric: the one man jury is robert mueller. >> sandra: he can believe whatever he wishes to believe. president trump puts things in
a blunt way. the contrast between himself and comey. comey being mueller's friend is a good way of setting it up in front of the public saying it's a real problem. i don't know robert mueller would do such a thing. i kind of doubt it. >> eric: more on this throughout the hour. >> sandra: president trump ramping up rhetoric against the u.s. intelligence community. what he is saying about james clapper amid his growing feud are former c.i.a. director john brennan. senator james lankford joins us live. >> eric: iran reveals a fighter jet that they say is capable of carrying a variety of weapons. we'll discuss that and more with former governor mike huckabee. >> sandra: and a stunning development in a triple murder. we have got new details on this shocking confession from the husband just ahead. >> i just -- my god, who could do that to two little girls? >> it will be a one-sided story
A look at the day's news and headlines.
security clearance after they left the last administration. security clearance isn't a forever institution. it has to be renewed frequently and there for a purpose to have access to classified information when you need it. they don't need that classified information at this point. they aren't in the administration any longer or have a need to know on this. so it is very different. so for brennan to be able to step out and say the president is treasonous and attack him every day the president is simply responding with this person is irrational and doesn't need to have security clearance anymore. seems like a straight forward response. >> sandra: now the president and legal team saying bring it on if you want to take legal action, go ahead and do it. the president wrote this in another tweet yesterday. i hope john brennan brings a lawsuit. it will then be easy to get all his records, texts, emails and documents and show how he was evolved with the mueller rigged witch hunt.
sort of a taunting by the president. >> it's the president's style. not my style in any way. the president is pushing back on brennan and the president should rise above it and be able to say that previous administration with an axe to grind. they handed materials to president obama. i think he can step out and be able to stand above it and move on. the more he talks about it, the more he gives brennan the microphone. >> sandra: the big picture discussion here is the importance of the security clearances and who should have them. the president also said this everybody wants to keep their security clearance it's worth prestige, dollars and board seats. brennan is a political hack. last word on that and move on to something else. go ahead. >> my last word on that is secure clearance is not some asset you can monetize.
you have a security clearance to serve the american people. if you plan to monetize that after the fact it's a very different issue. the president has every right to be able to pull that away from somebody and he has exercised that right. end of the day the president can rise above. see the president of the united states. >> sandra: now this news. new evidence that there are foreign actors trying to infiltrate our election system senator lankford. microsoft is saying it discovered a shut down a russian operation aimed at hacking the senate and target conservative think tanks. that these attacks were thwarted last week. microsoft's president brad smith said this in a "new york times" interview we're seeing another uptick in attacks. what is particular in this instance is the broadening of the type of websites they're going for, the russians are seeking to disrupt and divide. what do you know about this, senator? >> the russians are not just focused on elections. a lot of our conversation in the last two years has been
fair focus around the 2016 election. they were engaged in 2014 trying to find ways to divide. the russians had more activity online trying to divide americans after at the election of 2016 than leading up to 2016. they've not stopped. there is two different issues here. one is trying to get out and put out their version of propaganda to try to divide americans every way they can on social media, news. try to find ways to infiltrate and then the other one is break in, hack and steal. microsoft said they're trying to hack and steal information from think tanks which they did before the 2016 election and they're trying to do it again or trying to break into the senate and steal things. people forget the russians were able to break into the dnc with a phishing attack to pretend it was a legitimate site. john podesta typed in the password and gave them the password by hitting a phishing
scam. they are trying to do the same thing hacking into different systems now. >> sandra: senator james lankford. thank you for your time. nice to see you. >> eric: word on the tragic and heartbreaking end apparently in the search for mollie tibbetts. the 20-year-old university of iowa student who has been missing for just over the month. they're learning the sheriff's department in brooklyn, iowa, will hold a news conference at 5:00 p.m. eastern time tonight. this news conference coming as our own matt finn broke the news that mollie's body has been found in iowa. no other details at the moment. we'll get more on this story as it comes in. chicago police say it will take more than officers on the streets to try and stem that horrendous violence in the city that is under siege. 58 people shot over this weekend just alone. no signs that it will end.
garry mccarthy running for mayor against rahm emanuel will join us to talk about how to stem the carnage in chicago coming up on the fox news channel. do you need the most trusted battery in your wireless mouse?
maybe not. maybe you can trust that during your fantasy draft, the computer won't autodraft a kicker in the 7th round. or... you could just trust duracell.
friday night until monday morning. seven of them killed despite the deployment of more than 600 additional police officers to neighborhoods hardest hit by this violence. garry mccarthy a former chicago superintendent of police is now also running for mayor against rahm emanuel. he joins us now and welcome back to the program. as you know, i'm born and raised in chicago, hate to see this happening. you hear gunfire in some of the nicest neighborhoods. what is happening? what are we doing about it? we've reached out to rahm emanuel's office for comment and haven't gotten a response. your thoughts this morning? >> you know what we're missing and you heard it said, we can't put a police officer on every corner. crime reduction is not about putting a police officer on every corner. chicago has more officers per capita than just about any large city in the country.
in fact, we rank number three behind places like baltimore and newark, new jersey. as far as officers per capita. crime induction is about who, when and where crime is committed and intercepting that from happening. it is not just about deployment. i'm not sure that's being done. the crime strategy we put together was considered the gold standard in the country. people were coming from all over the country and internationally to look at our gang violence reduction strategy created in conjunction with some of the brightest minds in the country like charlie beck from l.a. who recently retired, helped us put together the whole concept of stopping the next shooting by deploying where the next shooting was supposed to happen, not everybody responding to the scene of the shooting. it is the same gun laws that were in effect three years ago when we had record lows. we had 50 year lows in the murder rate when i was superintendent. and at the end of the day, that
plan -- i don't believe that's being followed today. >> sandra: that seems to be the direction rahm emanuel has gone. we tried to dig up the last time he spoke publicly. his office hasn't issued a statement publicly that we can see since the weekend. he said who provides a 13-year-old a gun? why does a 13-year-old go to a basketball game with a gun when kids are having fun? he said that on monday. so he is going that route. but you clearly hear a very frustrated police superintendent eddie johnson in all of this acknowledging that the department can only do so much were his words. he is frustrated, garry. what do you do? what do you do to solve this? >> i don't accept the fact that the police can only do so much. we've already shown -- look at new york, 290 murders in the city three times the size of chicago that had 770 in 2016. policing matters. and at the end of the day there
is blueprints out there of how to do this. but chicago refuses to do it. everything that is happening today is a direct result of rahm emanuel's actions in 2015 and 2016 when he drove the murder rate up by 80% by conducting a witch hunt in the department. the officers know that nobody has their back. they are concerned about their pensions, their families, their houses, and they aren't willing to be the next top news story, which is really problematic. these men and women are courageous, hard working. i always joked if you switched a new york city police officer and chicago officer, the only difference would be we have different accents. this can be done but we need leadership, a plan and execution. none of that is happening right now. it's all about the politics. >> sandra: we need to be talking about it. thanks for coming back on the program. >> eric: the jury in the paul manafort trial set to start deliberations moments from now. he is charged with tax and bank
fraud as his defense team is expressing optimism that the jury is going into day four but is that really the case? we'll take a look at that deliberation and the trial in a moment. >> sandra: president trump speaking out about the russia probe in a new interview saying if he tells the truth would robert mueller believe him? andrew mccarthy is here to discuss that and more next. you're headed down the highway
you do, too, but not in time. hey, no big deal. you've got a good record and liberty mutual won't hold a grudge by raising your rates over one mistake. you hear that, karen? liberty mutual doesn't hold grudges... how mature of them. for drivers with accident forgiveness liberty mutual won't raise their rates because of their first accident. liberty mutual insurance. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty ♪ >> sandra: fox news alert day four of deliberations underway right now in the tax and bank fraud trial of former trump campaign chair paul manafort. manafort's lawyer says the lengthy deliberations could be good for his client. >> is this a good sign for your client? >> we believe so. >> sandra: manafort is charged with 18 counts of tax evasion, bank fraud and hiding foreign bank accounts in the first case brought to trial by special
counsel robert mueller. >> eric: the russia investigation now, president trump making headlines yet again in a new interview with reuters saying he could run the russia investigation if he wants to and expressing concern about sitting down for an interview with special counsel robert mueller's team raising the possibility of what his lawyer has warned could be a so-called perjury trap. the president saying even if i'm telling the truth, it makes me a liar, that's no good. let's bring in andrew mccarthy former u.s. attorney and fox news contributor. you were a federal prosecutor and you know how cases are structured. does the president have a reasonable concern? >> of course he does. a lot of people like to say, eric, that the innocent, honest person has nothing to fear by going in to speak to a prosecutor. but that avoids or overlooks the fact that it's the prosecutor, right or wrong, who
makes the decision about whether the innocent, honest person is telling the truth or not. and most cases are fairly complicated, especially when you are talking about homing in on somebody's intent, what they meant by the things that they said. there are almost always multiple witnesses with different perceptions and recollections about the same events. and the prosecutor has to sort out whether, when these differences inevitably occur, they are the product of innocent mistakes of recollection or whether somebody is lying. so even if somebody is telling the truth and trying hard to tell the truth, the prosecutor could decide otherwise. we saw that in the case of general flynn where evidently the first people who spoke to him, the agents who were in the room while he made his statements decided he was telling the truth. and then later somebody from mueller's team came in and decided the opposite. so that can happen.
it is part of the way the game is. >> eric: as the president you have a witness, so to speak, who says two separate things. one hand he was in the oval office with sergey lavrov and kissingerly yak fired comey because he was a nut job and sits down with lester holt that russia was on his mind when he fired comey but no one tried to stop the investigation. he didn't stop the investigation. i want it done properly. how does mueller pick and choose? you can say on one hand take a and say that shows he is guilty, you take b and shows that the president -- there is no wrongdoing? >> yeah. well, you know, mueller has more information than i do obviously. but i've always thought, eric, that what was going on here was that russia was on the president's mind but it was on his mind in the sense that director comey told him on multiple occasions he was not a
suspect and yet director comey then made public statements in congress that suggested that the president was a suspect. and i think russia was on his mind to the extent that there was a misimpression out in the public that he was a suspect in the investigation. that's what he was concerned about, not russia per se but what people thought of their president in connection with that allegation that there was collusion between the kremlin and the campaign. >> eric: why would comey say two different things? >> i would be very concerned about that if i were the president. i think the reason he said two different things was what he said to congress was the way they were carrying the investigation, which was collusion between kremlin elements and people who were attached to the campaign, not necessarily the president. and i think when he spoke to the president privately, he probably had a more descriptive conversation assuring the
president that he personally was not a suspect. >> eric: one other factory want to get into, the dynamics in a grand jury. you can't have a defense attorney in. the prosecutors run it. here is kristin davis, the so-called manhattan madam friends with roger stone talking to martha maccallum last night about what she witnessed in the grand jury. take a listen. >> i think they're legitimately investigating whether collusion happened but their attitude is that -- there are prosecutors in a room with a grand jury that they have a relationship with. they've been there for months and seem to be on joking and fun sort of camaraderie in there, which is concerning. there is nobody there to present another set of facts and that also is concerning to me. >> eric: are jurors swayed by their relationships with the prosecutors if there is that connection and are you troubled by that? >> well, i'm not troubled by it
because it's the way the grand jury works. but the fact of the matter is when you have the special grand juries i assume this is a special grand jury, they are together for 18 months and there is no defense lawyer. so you can expect that dynamic to take place. >> eric: andrew mccarthy who has done work on terrorism back in 1993 with the world trade center attack, the first one. thank you for joining us. >> thanks. >> sandra: colorado husband and father christopher watts has been formally charged with murdering his pregnant wife and their two daughters as watts claimed his wife killed the girls before he killed her. we have more on this from denver. >> according to the arrest affidavit chris watts is trying to put part of the blame on his pregnant wife, shanann. he is charged with killing her, their two daughters and their unborn child. at a news conference the district attorney announced the
charges shanann's father stepped to the mic briefly. >> i am shanann's dad. this is her brother. we would like to thank everyone, the police department and other agencies involved for working so hard to find my daughter, granddaughters and niko. >> that's the name of shanann's unborn son. chris watts told investigators his wife returned from a business trip around 2:00 in the morning august 13th and the two had a conversation about separating. he told law enforcement he had been having an affair and watts says after that conversation with his wife he saw her strangling one of their daughters on the baby monitor. that she had killed both celeste and bella. according to the arrest documents chris said he went into a rage and ultimately strangled shanann to death. chris said he loaded all three bodies into the back seat of his work truck and took them to an oil work site. you will remember chris watts
initially told police, his neighbors and the media that his wife and kids disappeared even asking for their safe return, although he did admit there was tension right before they supposedly vanished. >> it was an argument. i'll leave it at that. but i just want them back. i just want them to come back. >> chris watts is expected back in court this morning, sandra. >> sandra: thank you. >> eric: there is new reaction pouring in this morning after iran reveals a new fighter jet that they say is capable of carrying a variety of weapons and president rouhani was actually seen taking a seat inside that jet. we'll discuss what this means with former governor mike huckabee coming up. >> sandra: plus president trump calling ice agents heroes and slamming democrats for being soft on crime. former acting ice director thomas homan is our headliner this morning at the top of the
hour. >> president trump: the extremists who attack ice and cbc like to portray themselves as champions of social justice. they are not. to look at me now,
you don't see psoriasis. you see clear skin. you see me. but if you saw me before cosentyx... ♪ i was covered. it was awful. but i didn't give up. i kept fighting. i got clear skin with cosentyx. 3 years and counting. clear skin can last. see if cosentyx could make a difference for you. cosentyx is proven to help people with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis find clear skin that can last. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx. before starting cosentyx, you should be checked for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infections and lowered ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms. or if you have received a vaccine or plan to. if you have inflammatory bowel disease, tell your doctor if symptoms develop or worsen.
serious allergic reactions may occur. see me now. i'm still clear. how sexy are these elbows? get clear skin that can last. ask your dermatologist about cosentyx. >> it's a question of the highest importance for the united states that iran never get a deliverable nuclear weapons capability. it's why president trump withdrew from the wretched iran nuclear deal and why he is reimposing economic sanctions. >> sandra: national security advisor john bolton calling on european countries to increase pressure on iran. they unveiled a new fighter jet as tehran continues to develop its arms industry. let's bring in the former governor of arkansas, mike huckabee now and what we know about the fighter jet, governor huckabee, it was domestic made capable of carrying various
weapons and used for short aerial support missions. serious stuff. >> yeah, we can't take anything for granted. i can't imagine they could build a fighter that is anywhere near the capability of america's new f-35 that both the u.s. and israel have but you don't want to take the chance. the one thing we've learned throughout history is apiecement never works and we have to play tough with iran. they're dealing with a problem on two fronts. one is the external. the pressure we're putting on them and the sanctions we've reimposed. this is very important. the president is absolutely doing the right thing in pushing for that. but the second issue is the internal. their economy is in tatters. their people are growing angrier by the day and between the two let's hope that something happens that will bring a collapse to this totalitarian regime intent on destroying everyone who isn't a shiite. >> sandra: trump and netanyahu have been closely aligned on
their approach to iran since president trump took office. he is consistently looking to put pressure on him and used words like what he has seen a change of behavior regarding its weapons programs, it's destabilizing activities in the region. accusations iran denies. what do you make of this administration's overall approach particularly since you've seen president trump step in? >> i think it's an important alliance that has been rebuilt between the u.s. and israel. let's keep in mind the iranians have openly declare -- i'm not talking about uncovered secret documents from some cache of hidden things. this is openly what they've said in public, on television and at the u.n., that israel is the little satan and america is the great satan and they'll wipe us from the face of the earth. i'll ask you, if somebody said that they were going to kill another person, don't you think we ought to take that seriously especially when they are loading up every gun and bullet
they can and stockpiling them? of course we take it seriously. and we would be idiots and very dangerous idiots if we didn't take iran seriously because they've never kept a promise. they've always tried to kill americans and kidnap americans through terror-sponsored activities across the world and it will really come down to there will be a survivor, it will be us or them. i would like to vote for us. >> sandra: what did you make of the optics of that when they rolled out the new fighter jet. the state television showed live pictures of the ceremony they were holding in tehran? the actual jet flew in the presence of president rouhani and this is the day before the country's national defense industry day, governor. >> i think a lot of this is some bluster. the fact is if you really have an effective weapon, you don't have to announce it. it is kind of like having a mad dog in your yard that will protect you. you don't have to put the sign
out. you just need to let him be there. the fact they're making such a big deal of what they have tells me it is not that big a deal. but once again i want to emphasize you can't ever let your guard down when you are dealing with murderous thugs like you are dealing with with the iranian government. these are not nice people that want to sit down and negotiate. they want to blast the world back to the seventh century and we can't stand by and let them attempt to do it. they have to be stopped. >> sandra: there is a picture i was referencing with rouhani standing by as they unveiled that new jet. governor mike huckabee. always good to see you. thank you, sir. >> eric: thank you. a new debate over a 3d gun as a judge is set to decide whether to allow the public to have access to blueprints to make those weapons using 3d printers at home. we'll have a live report on that next.
thanks to new tena intimates overnight with proskin technology for two times faster absorption so you can have worry free nights, and wake up feeling fresh and free for a free sample visit tena.us whenshe was pregnant,ter failed, in-laws were coming, a little bit of water, it really- it rocked our world. i had no idea the amount of damage that water could do. we called usaa. and they greeted me as they always do. sergeant baker, how are you? they were on it. it was unbelievable. having insurance is something everyone needs, but having usaa- now that's a privilege. we're the baker's and we're usaa members for life. usaa. get your insurance quote today.
temporary restraining order a preliminary injunction to prevent the publishing of blueprints to make guns with a 3d printer until a law is decided. they wanted to put the codes for making a 3d handgun called the liberator. it would be undetectable by x-ray machine or metal detector. people say it could be used for people not allowed to possess firearms. they would of no serial numbers and be untraceable. you can make a gun for personal use but for the last 30 years it has been illegal to make a gun that is undetectable and president trump supports that law. the administration is being sued now because it settled a lawsuit brought by cody wilson, the owner of defense distributed which wants to public a 3d gun codes online. wilson argues that preventing him from publishing is a
violation of his free speech rights. the trump administration finally agreed. in issuing the restraining order last month the judge wrote the proliferation of these firearms will be many of the negative impacts on the state level. the issue has sparked protests by gun control groups. the fact is 3d guns are very expensive to make and unreliable at best. the cheapest 3d printer is $5,000. most guns would shoot once before breaking apart and the shooter would be in the most danger. the hearing today is looking down the road when technology will get better and making 3d guns could become widespread. >> eric: thanks so much. >> sandra: we're following the breaking news out of iowa in just a few moments where the body of college student mollie tibbetts has been found dead. more details as police prepare to hold a news conference. plus president trump honoring
ice agents at the white house while denouncing a blue wave saying it would mean open borders and more crime. former acting ice director and newly minted fox news contributor thomas homan will be with us next hour at the top of the 10. for the past five years, i've spoken with hundreds of families and visited senior-care communities around the country. and i've got to tell you, today's senior-living communities are better than ever. these days, there are amazing amenities, like movie theaters, exercise rooms and swimming pools, public cafes, bars, and bistros, even pet-care services. and nobody understands your options like the advisers at a place for mom. these are local, expert advisers that will partner with you to find the perfect place and determine the right level of care, whether that's just a helping hand or full-time memory care. best of all, it's a free service.
there is never any cost to you. senior living has never been better, and there's never been an easier way to get great advice. call today. a place for mom -- you know your family, we know senior living. together we'll make the right choice.
they have found the body of missing mollie tibbetts. bringing a tragic epidemiology -- end to a search for a month. she was last seen jogging in her town of brooklyn, iowa. no details yet of the discovery of her body and we expect a news conference to be held in the 5:00 p.m. local time hour central time. we'll have more on this as it comes in. this is also a fox news alert. the defense team sounding upbeat on day four of jury deliberations in the paul manafort trial. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom." good tuesday morning i'm sandra smith. >> eric: i'm eric shawn in for bill hemmer this morning. it looks like it won't be an open and shut case after the jury has had three-piece days of deliberations and no verdict. manafort's lawyer says he thinks it's a good sign for his
client. >> they'll continue to deliberate starting tomorrow morning at 9:30. mr. manafort is very happy to hear that and he thinks it was a very good day. >> eric: we're live outside the courthouse. what happened in the last half hour that the jury has been back behind closed doors? >> paul manafort looked as upbeat today as he has on any of the 16 days of this trial so far. he walked into the court and laughing with his legal team, patting them on the back and it's different than what normally happens. manafort enters, takes a seat in the courtroom and behaves in a very reserves way. we only ever see him whispering or passing notes to his lawyers. that's the only thing different about today. the jury affirmed to the judge that they haven't done any homework outside of court about the case which they do every morning and they did head to deliberate a few minutes ago for the fourth day. >> eric: any indication the verdict is being held up
because of a hold-out or is it still so early because it's such a complicated case with so many tax, banking and foreign documents? >> we have multiple sources close to the defense side telling us that if the reason that there have been three full days of deliberations that have been quiet and not produced a verdict is because of a problem with a juror, they think that that would be disclosed to reveal at some point today. on the way into court this morning manafort's attorneys said the defendant feels good, which we saw as well. and we understand he is getting at least one briefing from his legal team every day. that's about it in terms of updates for manafort on deliberations. while in the courthouse he is in solitary confinement and totally isolated. the jury has been deliberating for more than 22 hours and no more substantive questions for the judge since the first day since they wanted clarity about the fundamentals of the mueller
team's case. redefine reasonable doubt and asked if the judge could help them organize the nearly 400 exhibits that are not numbered. the judge or attorneys didn't help them do that. >> sandra: president trump honoring those who protect our borders in a special ceremony at the white house. the president calling ice and border patrol agents heroes in the battle over illegal immigration. >> president trump: we're here today to salute to incredibly brave patriots who keep america safe. i want to let you know that we love you, we support you, we will always have your back. any politician who puts criminal aliens before american citizens should find a new line of work. i think we'll have much more of a red wave than what you are going to see as a phony blue wave. blue wave means crime, it means open borders.
not good. >> sandra: let's bring in former acting ice director and fox news contributor thomas homan. welcome to your family. welcome. >> eric: good morning. >> sandra: first of all, what did you make of the president's honoring of law enforcement and ice officials here calling them heroes? >> they are heroes. i've been saying that for a very long time. i watched the tape this morning and i knew it would be a great event. name another president that does something like this. stand shoulder to shoulder with law enforcement officers put on the line for this country every day. i've been with this president numerous occasions where he met with state and local law enforcement, met with ice officers, border patrol agents. he has their six. i can't say think of another president who has had that position so strongly. this president is -- i said yesterday during an interview he talks the talks but he also
walks the walk like a lot don't. this president is proving he has the backs of these american heroes. >> eric: so moving and astounding about yesterday's event the president brought them some of the agents up. they didn't know they were going to talk in the east room in front of the world basically. one officer, border patrol officer, told about how he opened up the back of a truck and found 78 people who were illegals trying to come in and saved their lives. also others who were able to capture ms-13 gang members and take a lot of drugs off the streets and by doing that saves lives. we saw first-hand what these brave men and women of the service do. >> you know, it's -- the sad thing is they do this every day. last year alone border patrol saved over 2,000 people that were going to die if they weren't rescued by these border patrol agents. you don't hear that. they want to vilify these men
and women. i stood in back of a tractor trailer with 19 dead aliens and a child. 19? >> i was the lead investigators to victoria, texas, when there was 19 dead aliens that suffocated in the back of a tractor trailer. >> eric: what was it like when you have to deal with that and you see what the lengths some people go to to try to get into this country? >> it is shocking and sad and why i've been preaching for a year and a half this isn't just about enforcing the law. this is about saving lives. these criminal organizations, that smuggle the people, they don't care about them. they smuggle drugs and guns. i've been preaching to the far left, this isn't just about enforcing law but about saving lives. when you talk about sanctuary cities and abolish ice more people will make the trip and more people will die. not about just enforcing the law which we should do but saving lives of children and
women. it's the right thing -- this president has it. he understands it and asks the right questions. the first time i met with him he knew the subject matter like no other president i've worked for. i worked for six of them. no one understands it better than this president. >> sandra: you've been adamant about that and talked about the acting ice director, a man you have known for quite some time. and you fully have the back of him. he was on fox news yesterday afternoon and he was suggesting that unfortunately the american public doesn't see what ice agents do every single day putting themselves on the line. here he is. >> well, most of what cdp does, a lot of what ice does doesn't get seen by the american public and don't realize how valuable we are stopping opioids coming into the country and as we find gang bangers and send them away from the country. those important things are done and unseen by most of america. >> sandra: unfortunately these
days unappreciated by some americans. >> it's because of the false narrative from these groups on the far left. you have people like governor cuomo and gillibrand that want to go live for the citizens in new york. i've known ron for 25 years. i hated to walk away from this job. my heart is still there and why i'm hearing continuing to fight for them. if i would leave it to somebody to take over he is the man and ron is doing a great job. >> eric: the heartbreak in the families being separated at the border from babies being separated and children. and ice has had a lot of criticism about that. do you think it's appropriate and fair when you have cynthia nixon calling it a terrorist organization, her words? >> well look, i'm a native new yorker and shame on all those folks in new york. let's understand family separation. the border patrol separated them. it wasn't ice. they had to do it. i don't vilify them for ask.
we've asked congress to fix the loophole. if families want to come to this country illegally and claim asylum and see a judge we're for it. see a judge. we don't want them released from facilities never to show up in court or if they show up, not be removed because they'll ignore the judge's order and get into society and disappear. we've got to enforce the laws. if you want to blame somebody for family separations, blame the ninth circuit who said you can't hold family together. blame congress. we told them how to fix it to could keep families together and see a judge. we'll abide by the decision. they want to make it a political issues. politicians and liberal judges want to put politics over public safety and over the sovereignty of the country. guys like me will keep fighting and telling the truth. you won't hear the truth from a lot of places. >> sandra: the president echoed that same sentiment in the tweet talking about the
consequences of crossing the border illegally. there are serious, unpleasant consequences to crossing the border into the u.s. illegally. if there weren't our country one overrun with people trying to get in and the system couldn't handle it. he said a blue wave means crime and open borders, a red wave means safety and strength. this is the former nazi labor camp guard in the news this morning removed by ice to germany. they found him, deported him. he had been here since 1949. >> you know, i'm glad you asked the question. one more plug for president trump. when president trump came in office we had 21 countries that would not accept their people back even if they were convicted of serious crimes. they don't want these people back even if they've been ordered removed by the immigration judge. when i left ice we went from 22
to 9 because this president came in and says enough. i'm going to make sure these countries abide by the international treaties and take these people back. he put pressure on the department of justice and put pressure on department of state and department of homeland security and pressure on these countries. this is another example, this president stepping up and saying no, you are going to take this war criminal back and i'll hold you accountable. we've been trying to remove this guy. in 2009 we tried to remove him. this president made it happen along with fine men and women of ice and d.o.j. the president changed this issue and put it on its head. american people need to realize what the president has done for this country. >> sandra: he lied to the d.o.j. and immigration for years about who he was. you've been on it since 2009 and now it happened. >> for these people in new york who want to call ice nazis,
we've removed many nazi criminals and people who violated human rights. it's the complete opposite of what these politicians are saying to the american people. >> even after all these decades after the holocaust justice is still getting done. >> yes, sir. >> eric: thank you, tom. hearings on u.s. and russia getting underway this hour. it's happening before the foreign relations committee and the banking committee are looking at the effectiveness on the new sanctions of russia coming amid the big bombshell from microsoft. it uncovered and shut down russian hacking against conservative institutions and think tanks that have been critical of russia. rich edson live from the state department. this seems to be moscow stepping up its interference, rich. >> it is according to this by microsoft saying it created the dummy websites, a group believed to be associated with russian intelligence for the hudson institute and the national republican institutes.
these dummy websites you would click on them and the websites would take your personal information and your credentials. microsoft said it shut down that as the senate is focused on these issues. the senate foreign relations committee has just started a hearing on the u.s. policy toward russia to combat issues like this. fox news obtained the opening remarks of assistant secretary. putin wants to break apart the american republic not by including an election or two but systematically inflaming the perceived fault lines that exist within our society. the most dangerous thing we can do is politicize the challenge which in itself would be a gift to putin. mitchell says the administration has sanctioned 217 russian individuals or entities and that they're having some success on that. he says if you are a russian firm and sanctioned by the u.s., your operating revenue has fallen on average by a quarter and asset valuation has fallen by half. senators in both parties say that's reason enough to keep
the pressure on moscow. >> the united states should only lift sanctions that have been imposed against russia if there is significant action by russia to either take responsibility for their interference in our last election, to pledge no interference in the next election. >> he says the united states is ready to talk to russia again in putin moves in certain directions and changes the behavior. the democrats criticized the president with his first meeting with putin. >> eric: doesn't seem they've changed their behave area at all. >> sandra: politics taking the stage at another music awards show. >> do not worry because in this game you guys are allowed to kneel. no old white men can stop you. do it. >> sandra: comedian kevin art taking a nasty dig at president trump. should comedians and musicians stick to entertaining? we want to know what you think.

i can run it if i want to but i'll stay out of it. >> that's ridiculous. this is looking into the president, his campaign and family. i don't know legally if what he says actually has any weight but just from a public perspective he keeps saying i didn't do anything wrong, i have nothing to hide. stay out of it. that's why you hear republicans from marco rubio to trey gowdy say let mueller do the investigation. let the mueller probe go forward. what's interesting is this week the president's tweets against mueller went to another level. something hit a nerve with him whether it was the don mcgahn story or other reports about the mueller investigation or manafort trial. something hit a nerve and his tweets went to a 12 in terms of going after mueller and that's not a good thing. he also has a reaction when i say that. >> if you look at the only thing that really matters here, the constitution, you look into article 2, it doesn't say
anything about the special counsel provision that is allowed to sort of subvert the powers of the president. of course the president is absolutely right. he can do whatever he wants. he can fire all these people and get involved if he wanted to. the point about it being politically unwise is a fair point. it probably would backfire quite a bit. but -- >> nixonian. >> the end of the statement is i'm going to let it happen. he kept saying i'm going to let it happen. >> is he trolling us? >> we focus on his words. >> sandra: what he won't let happen his legal team is making it clear through rudy giuliani. the interview says the president said, you take a look at what he did in congress he gave, leaked, lied, if he say something he says something and my word against his talking about this being a perjury trap
and best friends with mueller. mueller might say well, i believe comey. even if i'm telling the truth it makes me a liar. that's no good. is that a legitimate concern? >> absolutely. i think his lawyers are smart to keep him -- and i get the sense that the president is coming along to that point of view. all along he said i'm dying to testify and he does testify every day on his twitter account by weighing in on absolutely everything but i think the story we saw in the "new york times" last week about don mcgahn testifying, the president did waive executive privilege. that's a very significant thing. >> eric: he weighed down in that article said don mcgahn said he didn't see the president go beyond any legal requirements. that he didn't break the law. >> exactly. it does reveal that i don't think the president is concerned about any real issues. he is concerned about walking into some trap where he says
something, you know, unintentionally or intentionally and being misunderstood. >> eric: he is all over the place on what he says on different things in terms of -- >> right. some of that is intentional. >> eric: no, we'll have the investigation. how do they pick and choose what to use if they try to get a case against him? >> i think he is trying to work the rest. no matter what happens bob mueller is not going to be objective and trying to set up a scenario where mueller -- i think there are a couple of things. i think he is working them by saying no matter what happens they're going to try to say that i lied. i don't think bob mueller will automatically believe what jim comey or someone else tells him if the president says something different. >> sandra: where do you stand if you think he should or shouldn't. >> he should. only donald trump can answer them. i think he absolutely should.
bill clinton did. he was forced to. there are questions only donald trump can answer. if the goal is to get all the information how can we not interview the person at the center of so many of these questions? >> where is the evidence that suggests that's what's necessary here? that's what i'm not -- there has to be some compelling reason for the president to sit down. we have nothing as far as we know that suggests he needs to do that and he is smart to say i won't sit down without that because indeed this does become a situation where i'm going to get trapped for perjury. i don't want to be a part of that. >> tell the truth. >> what is the truth at suggesting he needs to sit down and be a part of it that mcgahn can't do? >> eric: the meeting with don junior and the russian lawyer where the email said it was the russian government to help your father. mr. president, did you know about that. did your son call you twice in an unregistered phone call. did you know about that? those two questions could be answered.
>> that only he can answer. a key component what was going on in terms of russian contacts working with the trump campaign. don't you want the answers? >> there still isn't a crime. >> eric: it could be if it's conspiracy. it could be if they're taking something in that meeting of value from a foreign government. they knew about that. >> sandra: i think the point is there needs to be proof of that before you ask about it. >> a lot of proof of that already. >> sandra: last night the president took another jab at governor andrew cuomo. let's watch that. >> president trump: many politicians get up and say our country was never great. you heard that. i think that's the end of that career. >> sandra: charlie? >> cuomo 2020, no, he is not going to let anybody forget this as much as cuomo might like to rewrite some of it.
>> eric: this is not -- i've been a new york reporter for decades and i covered his father. this is about mario cuomo not helping president trump when he was the developer on the riverside yards getting the mortgage when andrew cuomo was the head of hud. they didn't back him and so therefore he had trouble with building the riverside. that's what i think. >> there is a lot of family history here. cuomo clearly flubed what he was trying to do. when was america great? when i couldn't get a credit card without my husband? >> sandra: whoa. you can't remember when america was great? >> i believe america is an exceptional country. when is president trump referring to. when a bunch of the country felt disenfranchised. >> the thing that's unique about america it is always trying to be perfect.
the make america great again slogan appeals to the effort to strive for our best selfs. something that mario cuomo would have agreed with. >> eric: former great governor would take some issue with his son. >> statements he made about america never been great is the most divisive statement you can make in this country. he should be careful what he says. >> eric: that's not enough. there is a more. president trump is continuing to step up his attacks against some of those former intelligence officials. what he now says the one-time director of national intelligence, james clapper. he is apparently playing nice. the president has his own views of that. >> sandra: senator sounding the alarm about this alleged isis killer captured in the u.s.
why he is up in arms that the suspect being here in the first place. plus. >> eric: stock market, look at that. 69 points, look at the number below. 25,000 plus, why they could mark the return of the american consumer as the bull market rages on. charlie payne will be here in a moment as it continues to go up. ♪ as moms, we send our kids out into the world, full of hope. and we don't want something like meningitis b getting in their way. meningococcal group b disease, or meningitis b, is real. bexsero is a vaccine to help prevent meningitis b in 10-25 year olds. even if meningitis b is uncommon, that's not a chance we're willing to take. meningitis b is different from the meningitis most teens were probably vaccinated against when younger. we're getting the word out against meningitis b. our teens are getting bexsero. bexsero should not be given if you had a severe allergic reaction after a previous dose.

after a month with her body being found. no details where or what. what do you suspect authorities homeed in on? >> we're waiting for more information. a tragic end to the family and friends holding out hope for a month. it will be a wealth of information from the body. first of all, what's the manner of death and time of death? was she killed a month ago or more recently and the location? who had access to the location where the body is found? was the body killed there or moved and dna and objects from the killer. police are combing through all of that. >> eric: what do you make of the fact she was jogging in the evening? that makes you more vulnerable. >> we don't know when she disappeared. she was jogging one of the last times she was seen. people are generally vulnerable when they're jogging. listening to music and not aware of all the circumstances around them. we've seen other people abducted and killed. >> sandra: authorities during this investigation and search
have been tight lipped. it has been hard to get any information out of them. sometimes they had announced news conference and they would cancel them and now scheduled one for this evening at 5:00 p.m. local time, 6:00 p.m. eastern. more information on where they found her body hopefully. but why do you think that is? >> it's a smart investigative strategy. you don't want to give all the information you have out there both to the potential killer. and other people who may come forward with information. are they tailoring the information based on what they said in the news and you don't want to give everything out. the same thing will probably happen now. the types of information they'll find from the body. i would be surprised if they give the information out publicly. >> eric: could they announce an arrest later on this afternoon? >> it's possible. we don't know publicly where the body was found. maybe found in a place that belongs to one person or a small group of people. we'll find that out later today. >> sandra: i'll bring this in
because it is brought to our attention into the newsroom now. rob tibbetts, the father of mollie, is telling fox news channel that the body found is indeed his daughter, mollie. we were going off sources telling fox news up until now and he is now confirming it was indeed mollie, his 20-year-old daughter. he said that he will have more comment for us shortly. and remember her father had been on the ground involved with the search since he got that phone call she had gone missing that day in july and he just recently within i believe the last 24 hours or so returned back to his home in california. >> the prosecutor in the private sector dealt with a lot of missing persons cases. when you are working with the family time goes on and people hold out hope hoping their loved one will be found alive. a tragic end. as the family finds out more about how she died there is nothing more painful than that. >> eric: what lessons can we
learn when young women jogging who are brutally murdered? >> people jogging are vulnerable. we don't know if she was abducted when she was jogging. police are learning more by looking at the body now and finding out what happened. did she go with someone she knew? was she abducted by a stranger? a lot of information that police are trying to piece together now. >> sandra: the iowa division of criminal investigation has planned this afternoon news conference and we'll a get an update from them. it has been quite a journey for the community there, too, that rallied around this family and supported the father and the mother in the search for their daughter. and now her body has been found, the father just confirming. dan schorr, thank you. we'll have more on that later. meanwhile a suspected isis killer caught in northern california last week and now senate judiciary committee chuck grassley wants to know how he got into the country through a refugee screening process during the obama
administration. grassley is pressing the state department and homeland security for any answers. capitol hill senior producer is following the story for us. >> chuck grassley has written to the homeland security secretary and secretary of state of state mike pompeo. he has a lot of questions about this suspect omar amine and what his application for refugee status looked like. he wants this paperwork. grassley said it appears he may have concealed his affiliations with isis and also al qaeda in iraq. this is always the problem with these refugees. their paperwork is not necessarily pristine. how do you vet them? how do you ferret out someone who might have had some ties with questionable organizations? he is accused by the federal government of going with a caravan through isis-controlled territory killing an iraqi police officer in his home and the essence of the question that chuck grassley has for
pompeo and nielsen. the pentagon is very concerned about iraqi refugees coming to the united states. it is not the idea that there are too few, there are too many. they have a program set up to bring refugees who work with the federal government and contractors to the united states. a couple years ago they were up to 5100. it fell off to 3,000 last year and only 15 this year. they want to hold that out there as a carrot to bring good people to the united states. in the case of this suspect how do you separate the good from the bad? >> sandra: chad on that story for us. thank you. music at times taking a back seat at the vmas last night on mtv, the awards show targeting president trump with some profane insults. was this out of bounds? >> eric: a controversy over con federal monuments. they knocked down a statue on the campus of a prominent university. the a-team is on deck with both

t-shirt they brought out and it was a demonstration about i suppose you could characterize it as families separated at the border and an anti-trump message that they don't like what they're seeing. the brought the kids on the stage. do i need to say anymore? >> the strangest part of all is involving kids. i'll be interested to see what the ratings are. who wants to -- >> eric: why is there seemingly growing political messages in some of these award shows? and the language? >> it's innovateed every aspect of everything these days it seems like for better or worse. >> i think people are so fired up by this. the child separation issue galvanized people. they've been immigration by the immigration policies and family separation. free speech in the country. turn it off if you don't like it. it is a platform to advance
political beliefs. >> sandra: a platform for profanity? >> what was profane? >> it is not advancing political beliefs. it is vulgar. there is nothing -- >> the kids weren't vulgar. >> that gets lost with the kevin hart, the language there and the offensive language and violent language. >> sandra: we couldn't play what kevin hart said on the open. >> i said it went too far. >> sandra: second of all it was an f the wall shirt was a profanity on the t-shirt. >> people don't like the wall and let's go back to the fact that donald trump is commander-in-chief is a bully, has said incredibly offensive things about people on twitter. >> i do think brian makes an important point. whose minds are being changed by all this? none. >> young voters who will vote in the mid-terms.
wait. young voters are fired up over guns and immigration. donald trump says incredibly offensive things on issues. he calls women dogs and says terrible things about people. why don't we ask for standards? >> eric: it's not a compliment. >> are young voters informed? no from the vmas. that's the problem. >> sandra: the university of north carolina and show what happened with another statute brought down. you've been on this story. quite a visual to see the students yet again trying to change the way we're looking back at history in this country. >> it's such a sad thing. i know a lot of these kids think they're part of the civil rights movement. this is not the civil rights movement where you had people sitting on a bus or gathering at a launch counter peacefully trying to and successfully
undoing laws that were unconstitutional and disgusting. this is just trying to obliterate history because somebody is offended. this monument is a monument to confederate war dead put up by the wives and the children, the daughters and the widows of people who died in this conflict. these kids, all these spoiled brats should be rounded up, put in jail and forced the pay to repair this thing. if i were the university, i would kick them all out because this is not -- this kind of violent vandalism is not -- >> eric: deeply offend. >> okay, that's an issue. we can debate these things all we want and have debated for a long time and some have come down. it doesn't give right to a mob to go out there and vandalize and tear down something that is very sacred to the people who put that up. >> what i don't like it is always about trying to destroy something if you don't like the
narrative. the university had an opportunity here to leave the statue in place because it sparks good conversation about our history. after the story add another monument to the story that fills out the story, why do we have to tear things down? why can't we tell more of the story? >> there is a way to tell the story that doesn't offend people. honoring people like this exalted in the statues for people fighting to defend slavery is very offensive to people. there has to be a process. i lived in charlottesville for the city to talk about how to bring them down. vandalism isn't the way to do it. we need to figure out in this country how we wreckon with this history. you don't see in other countries where they've had -- in germany you don't see people erecting statues to nazi leaders. >> sandra: thank you very much to the a-team. >> eric: charles payne will be here and why he says why the

longest in u.s. history. charles payne host of making money on the fox news network. we've thrown around rallies before and bull markets before. what makes this one different? >> well first of all this is measured by uninterrupted move to the upside without a 20% pullback. that's the definition of a bear market. the bull market has had pullbacks but never to that degree. think there are a couple of things. we were oversold. i think we have to go to the very beginning in march of 2009. that was a classic panic. the market was extremely oversold. values out there back in the day in the 1800s, every time the market got hit they called it a panic. someone said it makes things worse. maybe we should use a different term. they came up with depression. we had the great depression. the bottom line is now what's different is we were oversold and rebounded but now gaining a new strength in the market. yesterday the airline stocks came out of nowhere.
today the home builders are doing well. the american consumer. i give most of the credit right now for this leg of the market to the trump administration's policy. the lower regulations, lower taxes. i looked at a couple earnings reports this morning and these companies themselves t.j. maxx said you know what? a lot of this is from the tax cuts but also i just think you get to a point where you start to do extraordinarily well and it is infectious and other people feel it. i tell you what, forget all the polls and the other stuff politically. this is 2/3 of the american economy and it is spreading. >> eric: how long can this go? >> i think we have a long ways to go here. i think the market is becoming undervalued because there has been so much focus on six or seven big tech names. i like it when t.j. maxx is leading the market higher and deere and the dirty fingernail stocks are going higher like caterpillar. those kind of names that you work with your hands.

admitted it was just speculation but held onto the belief throughout this process that somehow mollie tibbetts was still alive. he just a short time ago as well as two law enforcement sources confirmed to us the body found is indeed that of mollie tibbetts. the search for the missing student investigators are tight lipped. the only information we have that foul play was involved is crimestoppers. they now say the $400,000 reward has now become a reward for information that captures her killer. she vanished on july 18th after going for jog. the next day her boyfriend texted her and didn't receive a response. when she failed to show up for work he reported her missing. the boyfriend was quickly cleared in the case as he was away on a job. information later was developed that she had returned to the house where she was staying
after her jog. nearby hog farm was searched, owner questioned, investigators knew she wore a fit bit and cell phone. they remained missing. we don't know if those items were found with the body. we simply have information from investigators that her body was found in a rural part of the county. the briefing mentioned that eric mentioned a short time ago is scheduled for 4:00 p.m. central time. back to you. >> eric: a tragic and heartbreaking end and search for her family and friends and that community. thank you. >> sandra: another fox news alert as president trump seems to be leaning against sitting down for an interview with special counsel robert mueller fearing a perjury trap while also making it clear he could run the russia investigation himself if he wanted to but has made the choice to stay out of it for now. andrew mccarthy, a former u.s. attorney was on "america's newsroom" earlier. >> a lot of people like to say, eric, that the innocent, honest person has nothing to fear by
going in to speak to a prosecutor but that avoids or overlooks the fact that it's the prosecutor, right or wrong, who makes the decision about whether the innocent, honest person is telling the truth or not. >> sandra: joining us now alberto gonzales former attorney general and dean of belmont university school of law. thanks for coming on the program and welcome back to the program. >> good morning. >> sandra: first of all, would you be with the president if he veered towards this is not a good idea to sit down even though he said in the past i want to sit down and answer his questions because i want to get it over with? they fear a perjury trap. >> there is always a concern that you misremember something, you don't intend to lie to a prosecutor but you saying something contradicted by other witnesses and that is a concern. but i think it's important for your viewers to understand that i think under current d.o.j. guidance the president cannot be indicted and the president
cannot be prosecuted for criminal wrongdoing. bob mueller may ultimately receive information, may ultimately receive testimony from the president and based on that he may conclude that the president is lying and has committed perjury and included it in a report that goes to the deputy attorney general. if the attorney general would receive such a report he would likely forward the report to the congress and congress would have to make a decision whether or not lying to federal prosecutors would constitute grounds for impeachment. there is a danger either way. even though the department may not believe it has the authority to indict and prosecute a sitting president, there is certainly a political danger of impeachment if the president were to be found to commit perjury by the special counsel. >> sandra: the concept of perception of the truth seems to be at the crux of this discussion right now alberto. here is andrew mccarthy expanding on that a few moments ago. >> almost always multiple
witnesses with different perceptions and different recollections about the same events. and the prosecutor has to sort out whether, when these differences inevitably occur, even if somebody is telling the truth and trying hard to tell the truth, the prosecutor could decide otherwise. >> sandra: that's to your point, right? >> that's true. it is not solely the prosecutor. the prosecutor has to make a judgment call is there probable cause to move forward? then it falls into the hands of 12 americans. 12 jurors who beyond a reasonable doubt have to reach some level of conclusion based on the evidence presented at trial. but there is no question about it, that humans are infall able. we have different memories about the same event and there is always a risk. you never want to be under investigation by a federal prosecutor particularly one like robert mueller. there is certainly a danger. it is easy to say if you're
innocent act like it. what have you got to lose by talking to the prosecutor, but there is a risk but also a down side. i think to some americans if the president does not cooperate they will conclude well, what is he hiding? that's something the president will have to deal with. >> sandra: how did you further perceive the president's comments i could run this if i want to referring to the mueller probe but he is going the stay out of it. >> well, i don't think that any investigation of the white house conducted by the president of the united states would have any credibility, quite frankly in the minds of most americans. having said that the president is in charge of the executive branch. i think as a constitutional matter would have the authority to conduct such an investigation. however, congress has delegated that authority to the attorney general and the department of justice to conduct investigations and prosecute wrongdoing. so as a theoretical matter i
think the president certainly could. honestly, speaking i guess in laymen's terms, it would be a dumb idea. >> sandra: if you were to step back from all this today and you look at this investigation as it continues and many feel it has been drawn out. some feel it's necessary that it continue in the manner that it is, where does it go next? does a sit-down eventually happen? >> i don't know, if i had to bet i would say probably the sit-down does not happen. it's possible that perhaps bob mueller will settle for answers to written questions from the president of the united states and so that in fact may happen. i for one believe this investigation should be continued to be completed. one of the main things -- aspects of this is getting more information about how russia interfered with the 2016 election. we're already hearing stories about how they're continuing to interfere and focused on the 2018 election. so i think in terms of the
length of this investigation, it's not -- it hasn't been, you know, unreasonably long compared to the length of previous investigations by special counsels. i think we need to let bob mueller complete this investigation so we know exactly what russia did in 2016 and what they intend to do in the future. >> sandra: alberto gonzales, great to get your perspective and thoughts this morning. thank you. >> thanks for having me. >> eric: a former nazi concentration camp guard to lied about getting into the u.s. was arrested this morning and deported to germany after calling our nation home for nearly 70 years. taken a long time for justice but it's been done. we have the latest. >> the last known nazi collaborator in the united states was deported yesterday, 95-year-old jakiw palij a former s.s. nazi guard landed
in germany this morning flowing on an air ambulance. ice arrested him in queens, new york yesterday without incident. he arrived in the u.s. in 1949. he lied to u.s. immigration officials telling them he spent world war ii working on his father's farm and also a german factory. they believed him and in 1957 he became a u.s. citizen. but in 2001 he confessed he was really a nazi guard who worked at the traa niki concentration camp. he trained there in 1943 the same year 6,000 jewish men, women and children were shot to death in one day november 3 in one of the largest massacres of the holocaust. according to the department of justice by helping to prevent the escape of these prisoners during his service at the camp he played a role that they later met their fate at the hands of the nazis. he was stripped of his u.s.
citizenship and ordered deported in 2004. it took 14 years to expel him. in that time protestors regularly gathered outside his new york home. this morning u.s. ambassador to germany richard grinnell explained why it took so long. >> he had his u.s. citizenship taken away so he technically was without a country. he was stateless. we presented to the german government was they had a moral obligation, not necessarily a legal one, with this individual but a moral obligation because he worked in the name of the then german government. >> he credits president trump for making this issue a priority or making it happen. >> eric: we'll never forget no matter how long it takes. brian, thank you. >> sandra: breaking news at this hour. the trump administration takes swift action to address the nation-wide epipen shortage.
in a moment we'll dig into the bold move and how it will impact families across the country. health and services secretary will join us in moments. >> eric: the debate over illegal immigration has been heating up as the president blasts the democrats who oppose the agency ice calling them open border extremists. are they? coming up congressman sean duffy will comment about that. >> sandra: president trump taking aim at james clapper in his feud with john brennan and former intel officials. the latest in the battle straight ahead. >> i think john is sort of like a freight train. he is going to say what's on his mind. but john and his rhetoric have become, i think, an issue in and of itself. 24/7 tech support. yep, thanks guys. i think he might need some support. yes. start them off right, with the school supplies they need at low prices all summer long.
like these for only $2 or less at office depot officemax. mom: okay we need to get all your school supplies today. school... grade... done. done. hit the snooze button and get low prices on school supplies all summer long. like these for only $2 or less at office depot officemax.
pushing back on brennan making all these statements over and over again attacking the president. i think the president should rise above it. the more he talks about it the more he gives brennan the microphone. >> eric: that is senator james lankford of oklahoma weighing in on the growing feud between president trump and former c.i.a. director john brennan. the president says he welcomes the lawsuit brennan is threatening after the president revoked his security clearance. the president took to twitter saying this about the former director of national intelligence. even james clapper admonished john brennan for having gone off the rails. maybe clapper is being nice to me so he doesn't lose his security clearance for lying to congress. what does it all mean? let's bring in republican congressman chris stewart who serves on the house intelligence committee. what do you make of this back and forth and do you think brennan will actually commence a lawsuit? >> well, i don't know if he will. i don't think it would be successful. i wish we didn't have this
continued back and fort honestly. if the president were to leave it alone evidence would convince the american people this is what we know about the former director brennan. the first is he is untrustworthy. we know that from his testimony before congress and the wild accusations he has made with virtually no evidence. the second thing we know is that he is overly political. he politicized the intel community, intelligence work. i have talked to a number of intelligence professionals as i do almost every day. they're embarrassed by this. they understand it isn't good for the american people and the work they do to have a former c.i.a. director be and sound like a political hack. it embarrasses them. >> eric: what would you say to those who think he served this country with distinction and is concerned in his own view of
russia interference and russia being threatening to the ten either of our democracy. >> he needs to make that argument in a reasonable and credible way. for him to say for example like he has said with a wink and nod i have the information that other people don't have and i think this president is in the pocket of vladimir putin. for him to say with kind of a wink and nod as if he has information that others don't have. oh my heavens, mr. brennan, if you have the information that would convince mr. mueller or others that this president has committed treason, which you have accused him of doing, then present that information. present that evidence. he hasn't done that. instead as i said he has made these wild accusations in a way that diminishes the intelligence community and the intelligence professionals. intelligence shouldn't be a political endeavor. it should be unbiased, measured, careful in its analysis and conclusions and mr. brennan hasn't done that.
>> eric: he did walk back that treasonous comment. do you buy that? >> i don't know. walk it back is helpful but made comments since then. this is a meaningful thing for a former c.i.a. director to make an accusation like that. >> eric: do you think that the president has basically threatened to revoke other national security clearances, susan rice among others. do you think as some say it's a danger to our republic or that it's political hardball and the president really is doing something that he shouldn't do going after people personally and because they are critics? >> i think the president is actually doing the right thing but for the wrong reason in this case. i think that most of these people shouldn't maintain clearances. there is no reason for it. why does hillary clinton have a top secret secure clearance? if there is a case-by-case necessity or if they're being asked to advise the government in certain cases, then let's do
a case-by-case review and allow them to maintain it but the blanket policy that allows all these individuals to maintain a top secret clearance. access to some of the most sensitive in the information for u.s. government for no reason other than in most cases it enhances their marketability, it enhances their value and the money they can make. i just think we should be careful in the number of people that we've allowed to keep their clearances. >> eric: others would say it enhances the government aefs ability because they bring advice and experience. we're up against the clock on this, i'm sorry. it will continue. congressman, thank you. >> sandra: a small plane crashes at a major intersection. >> couldn't believe it was happening. is this really happening or doing stunts? no, he ain't messing around. >> sandra: new dash cam video of the plane going down. what caused the crash? >> eric: ice has been coming
under fire more and more as illegal immigration especially over the illegal immigrant arrested at the gas station. the report he was rushing his pregnant wife to the hospital when they suddenly took him in? well, as we've been reporting this guy is wanted for murder. >> my dad ain't done nothing. he is innocent. he is a hard worker. he has his own business. he has done nothing. insurance that won't replace the full value of your new car? you'd be better off throwing your money right into the harbor. i'm gonna regret that. with liberty mutual new car replacement we'll replace the full value of your car. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty ♪ lojust use priceline.ls on travel? you can save up to 60% on hotels. that's like $120 a night back in your pocket.

i am going to vote ok, for myself using nothing but this remote and the sound of my own voice! vote for... wait wait, that's not a talent. any xfinity customer with an x1 voice remote can do that. watch this... i want to vote for... obviously not you. ooh that guy... cast your votes during every live show. just say "vote for agt" into the x1 voice remote. >> sandra: the department of health and human services taking swift action to combat the mass shortage of epipens in this country. with the fda saying it will
extend the expiration date of the lifesaving medication. we are joined about the breaking news. secretary, this is news that affects a lot of families in this country. what action are you taking? >> it does and this is a very important announcement that we just made minutes ago which is that for certain lots of epipens that have expired or are about to expire, we believe the data supports a four-month extension on the use of that product beyond the expiration date on the package. i would encourage parents or others to go to the fda.gov website to see the announcement and look up the particular lot number of the product you have. this may provide some immediate relief for parents especially as kids are about to go back to school. >> sandra: a shortage of epipens and high cost, hundreds of dollars one of these epipens cost. some families that need them couldn't afford them. why is this action so important and why are you taking it now?
>> what we have seen are manufacturing and supply issues regarding the production of this particular epipen and auto injector device. we've been working with the manufacturer on that to help resolve those supply disruptions. i would encourage anybody who needs a pen that milan has an 800 number that you can call to get more information about where product might be available in your area in case the particular pharmacy you are using doesn't have that. we're trying to make sure we have additional product available as well as lower-cost product available so we also very recently just approved the first-ever generic version of that epipen that should be getting on the market soon. >> sandra: any idea what it would cost for the consumer? >> i don't know what they'll price it at. the manufacturer who has been approved hasn't announced what the price would be to my knowledge. i'll have to leave that own.
we have always seen when a generic comes into the market and you get robust competition you do see a fairly significant decline in pricing and availability for patients. we very much look forward to that for the benefit of patients. >> sandra: you tweeted out the c change in drug markets. these are just a change. we have plans to deliver on every aspect of the blueprint and market actors who have responded to actions so far can expect reform that aim toward a new patient/friendly system to continue. can you explain that? what do you mean? >> we're today at the 100 day mark in terms of the president's blueprint on drug pricing. he has done more in 100 days than all presidents combined before him in terms of tackling the issue of drug pricing. historic levels of generic drug
approvals. we brought savings to senior citizens to the tune of $320 million a year of out-of-pocket spending when they get their drugs. we have banned gag clauses in our medicare program where plans might tell pharmacists that they can't inform a patient what the cheaper alternative is for their drug and the way they could buy their drug cheaper by paying cash to get that drug. we've opened the door to negotiation in medicare for the first time ever to stop paying list price for some of our drugs and the president has opened the dorto importation of drugs where there is provides gouging of these single source drugs in the united states. just a bevy of changes and the result of that has been that we've seen 60% fewer brand name drug price increases since the president announced his blueprint 100 days ago than we did last year. >> sandra: you went further to talk about that competition which families who know the
high price of these prescriptions no all too well. it's difficult. and you reference that in this tweet. together these strategies will work to build a new drug pricing system characterized by real competition, lower prices and healthy incentives for innovation. the most significant parts of the president's blueprints are in the works. what is the president's message on this. when you talk to him, what is his priority? >> so the president's priority is getting prices down. he wants lower list prices for drugs, better negotiation in our drug programs and wants to end foreign free riding and increase competition in our program. his objectives are very clear. anybody who basically underestimates his commitment or verb on driving forward this agenda will be sadly mistaken. sandra, you said it right. they have only seen the beginning. we laid out in a very
transparent way in the president's blueprint where he is headed and we're driving towards that and it is the tip of the iceberg so far. >> sandra: secretary azar, thank you for sharing this breaking news this morning. appreciate having you here. we'll look for those changes. >> eric: very important move. president trump heading to west virginia for a rally tonight. it's an interesting race. will he stump for joe manchin's opponent even though manchin has embraced some of the president's policies? what can we expect? chris stirewalt will be here to break it all down. er service are critical to business success. like the ones we teach here, every day.
the agency again arresting someone indiscriminately, breaking up a family, deporting an otherwise innocent man. in a cruel twist ice forced his pregnant wife to drive herself to the hospital. >> i'm sad and disappointed with this country that they aren't doing their job correctly because my dad ain't done nothing. he is innocent. he is a hard worker. he has his own business. >> that wasn't the whole story, at least the one reported on radio and tv. it's true ice agents picked up the man at the gas station but ice says he wasn't driving, she was and they weren't rushing to the hospital but going in for a scheduled c-section. finally he wasn't just a working dad here illegally but was wanted for murder. >> far from an innocent victim. this person was wanted by foreign authorities for murder. like this arrest most of what ice does in cities and towns is
targeted enforcement. >> as the story developed, the media said ice picked up the wrong man, that the attorney said the real target was his brother. this he was the sole provider of five children with no criminal record. not even a traffic ticket. >> we know that under current trump administration that everyone is a priority. when a person is taking his wife having a c-section it could have been handled a lot differently. >> ice confirmed this morning the warrant is legitimate. the man is wanted for murder. many seeing or hearing this story this weekend are likely outraged but not fully informed. context provides a more accurate picture. back to you. >> sandra: william la jeunesse, thank you. >> eric: president trump hits the road again today with a rally in west virginia this evening strufrming for senate candidate state attorney general patrick morrissey.
he is challenge senator joe manchin in november. it is one of the red states the president won big. joining us now on what we can expect is chris stirewalt. it is a fascinating dynamic, manchin, conservative democrat has praised the president. president has done the same for manchin. now the president is going on gop on him tonight. >> everything is always better in west virginia, we know that to be true. and i'm not just saying that because i'm a west virginiaian. if you like politics the politics there are perfect because it gets awfully complicated awfully quickly. there will be a lot of ticket splitting this year in west virginia and there will be a lot of people in west virginia who in 2016 voted for donald trump who vote for joe manchin. what we're waiting to see and what we want to find out is, is donald trump coming to attack joe manchin, coming to elevate patrick morrissey or coming to have a campaign rally for
himself? those are three different things. >> eric: so what do we expect him to say tonight? he will back morrissey but manchin backed judge gorsuch and other policies of the president. >> and we expect manchin to not only be completely on board with trump on coal but on the supreme court. >> eric: breaking news. have to scoot. we'll see what happens back in your home state. thanks, chris. >> sandra: fox news alert as we alerted you at the top of the hour, we just got word the jury gave the judge a note in the courtroom there on the paul manafort trial and we're now finding out what the note said. it said if we -- if we can't come to consensus, what does that mean for the final verdict? the judge said this is not out of the ordinary for a jury trial. peter doocy is following all this and giving us the news updates from outside the courtroom. peter, what is happening? >> sandra, the jury is
deliberating on 18 counts. their question at least the way they framed it pertains to one of the counts. this is something that defense team sources close to the defense team have been telling us they thought they might be hearing today. sources close to the manafort said say they walked in this morning and believed to be a serious looking jury, which they believe indicated that there might be some problems behind the scenes and that if there was a problem, then at some point on the fourth day of deliberations, it would come out. and that's what we just got. they are apparently stuck on one of the counts and the judge told them that it is not exceptional and sent them back in to keep deliberating. this is the first word we heard from the jury in the last two days. they haven't had a lot of questions since the first day of deliberations which was last thursday. now it sounds like they're stuck on at least one of the counts. it is unclear when the next
time we'll hear from the jury is. that's what's going on upstairs on the ninth floor now. >> sandra: day four of deliberations and we've been on stand by that a verdict could come down at any moment but the defense has given an indication that they see the timeline here as a positive for their team, for paul manafort. >> and that's obviously something a belief that paul manafort himself shares. he was in very good spirits this morning in court. came in, big smile, laughing with his attorneys and patting each other on the back. they believe -- the word we're getting from the manafort side was that they thought this thing was going to be wrapped up after about two days and at the end of business on friday last week would have been a really big motivator for the jury to wrap things up so they could go home and didn't have to come back. once that happened, the manafort team's perspective on
the case changed. yesterday they were describing it to me as though it was similar to the run-up to the 2016 election where they feel like the jury is on the verge of delivering a big surprise. but we don't have any indication of that right now. the only indication that we have is that the jury is stuck on at least one of these counts and it sounds like something else that i've just had handed to me. something else the judge said is the jury can reach a partial verdict. he cited the u.s. versus taylor as an example. that's new. 18 counts, they're stuck on at least one. the judge says they can reach a partial verdict. so we don't know if that's something they're close to. we don't know how many jurors are possibly holding out. and we might not for a couple more hours or a couple more days, sandra. >> sandra: interesting.
peter, you are giving some color on paul manafort and his presence in the courtroom this morning appearing upbeat, patting each other on the back. the jury as far as it's been described by catherine herridge remains very serious in their demeanor and very flat. appeared spent. some red faced. this is a long haul. >> it is a long haul and remember, as far as we know, it is entirely possible that none of these jurors are experts on forensic accounting or on tax and bank records. that's what they are sitting in a room surrounded by. just hundreds of exhibits, thousands of pieces of paper that are not numbered sequentially and so the manafort -- the mueller team in this case is accusing paul manafort of violating 18 different charges but when they
made this 2 1/2 week long argument they were not specific with you take this piece of paper for count one, this piece of paper for count two. so part of the reason that it could be taking so long is they have a lot of dots they need to collect as they deliberate. >> sandra: if we cannot come to consensus on a single count what does it mean for the final verdict? the judge says it is not exceptional to a jury trial and the jury can reach a partial verdict. we're being told now they're in recess, a five-minute recess. again working under the premise that a verdict could come in at any moment. peter doocy you're there and will bring us the news when it comes in. thank you very much. >> eric: we'll be on stand by for that. if there is a hung jury on one count the federal government can always retry mr. manafort. >> sandra: the judge ellis says
this has happened before regarding a partial ruling from a jury. >> eric: they could come in with a partial verdict and could be retried. we'll see what happens. we're on stand by to give you the news when it comes. president trump not backing down when it comes to support for ice. how he is responding to some democrats who have called to abolish the agency. congressman sean duffy will join us next on that. >> president trump: this new wave of anti-borders, anti-law enforcement extremism and shameful, dangerous, horrible in every way and it is going to stop. to look at me now,
see if cosentyx could make a difference for you. cosentyx is proven to help people with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis find clear skin that can last. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx. before starting cosentyx, you should be checked for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infections and lowered ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms. or if you have received a vaccine or plan to. if you have inflammatory bowel disease, tell your doctor if symptoms develop or worsen. serious allergic reactions may occur. see me now. i'm still clear. how sexy are these elbows? get clear skin that can last. ask your dermatologist about cosentyx. >> president trump: we will not stand for the vile smears, the hateful attacks and the vicious assaults on the courageous men and women of ice and border patrol and law enforcement. we will protect those who protect us. >> sandra: president trump supporting federal immigration agents at a white house
ceremony yesterday and blasting democrats who want to abolish it as open border extremists who just don't care about crime. joining us now is congressman sean duffy, a member of the freedom caucus. do you agree with the president on this one? >> he is absolutely right. we believe in enforcing our laws in the republican party and we believe in immigration but legal immigration, not illegal immigration. and so for the president to call border patrol agents who have been maligned and demonized by the democrat party to bring them to the white house and say we support what you do. thank you for enforcing our laws and risking your lives to secure our border. i thought it was fantastic. we have democrats who really the cover was pulled away with alexandria ocasio-cortez who said we want to abolish ice. some new york congress folks have called ice nazis. this morning ice is arresting
nazis and sending them back to germany. how rich is that? >> sandra: the former director of ice thomas homan on a short time ago and he had this to say and we'll get your response. >> we've asked congress for a year and a half to fix the loophole. if families want to come to this country illegally and claim asylum and want to see a judge we're for it, see a judge. what we don't want is them to be released from our facilities never to show up in court or if they show up in court not be removed because they'll ignore the judge's order and get into society and disappear. we've got to enforce the laws. >> sandra: we have to enforce the laws but his first statement is we've been calling on congress to fix this loophole for a year and a half. >> and he is spot on. catch and release process where if you catch someone who is unlawful and they don't get a hearing for two to three years oftentimes they don't show up. they evaporate into the fabric of america. we have to close that loophole.
you know this but we have attempted to pass a number of different bills in the congress especially on the house side and democrats have been in opposition to all of those bills and these are ideas that most democrats agreed with, border security, dealing with the daca kids, dealing with folks who have come here no fault of their own by their parents and the work visa system expansion. we agreed with this and closing the loophole. democrats have been in opposition to all of our efforts because they believe in open borders. and how do you argue with people who don't want to be borders when we say we want to enforce our laws, secure our borders? wouldn't it be great if we could have immigration reform and people would stop crossing the desert and risking their lives and they could come in lawfully. >> eric: it appears the jury in
the paul manafort trial is stuck on one of the issues on one count. sending a note to a judge about that. what it means for the verdict. former federal prosecutor andrew mccarthy is here to tell us what we can expect. ok, show me what you got.
wait wait, that's not a talent. any xfinity customer with an x1 voice remote can do that. watch this... i want to vote for... obviously not you. ooh that guy... cast your votes during every live show. just say "vote for agt" into the x1 voice remote. >> eric: there appears to be a partial verdict in the paul manafort case. the jury sending out a note telling the judge that quote, we cannot come to consensus on a single count. what does that mean for the final verdict? former u.s. attorney andrew mccarthy joins us on the phone. do you think there is a verdict? what does it mean if they can't agree on all 18 counts? >> well, eric, it's interesting. we don't know what they mean by single. we don't know if there is a single count they can't agree
on or there isn't a single count they can't agree on. the judge's move here is usually to tell them to go back and do their best to try to resolve it. if it turns out there are some counts that they've agreed on, they can take -- the importance of that is whatever counts they do resolve on the partial verdict, that's a final verdict. so in other words, if the judge gets them to then go back and deliberate on the counts that they haven't yet agreed on, they cannot reconsider the ones they've already returned as part of the partial verdict. >> eric: there is no partial verdict reached at the moment. we just know as you just said that they apparently have agreed on some counts or have questions on one single count or maybe as you said not a single count. let's say they have reached a verdict and eventually come in with a verdict on some counts, can't the federal government
then and prosecutors retry manafort on those counts or count the jury does not agree on? >> yes, on any count where the jury hangs, that is where the jury cannot reach a verdict, the government is permitted to retry the count unless the court decides in a post trial motion that the court believes there was insufficient evidence to support that count. if the court were to make that finding in a post trial motion then the government would be barred. that's a decision on the evidence. but presumptively any count they hang on, the government would be allowed to retry. >> eric: do you think this apparent deadlock is good news or bad news for manafort? >> it's always good news for the defense if the jury can't resolve the case because of the great burden is really on the government to go forward. the government has to evaluate its case and decide whether it's worth trying him for a second time. >> eric: quickly from your long
experience as a federal prosecutor four days of a jury with all these complicated tax forms and financial forms, is this quick or is this what you would expect? we've seen juries sometimes go for a week or more on complicated cases. >> it is not unusual. i think the two things that i would bear in mind, eric, are they really didn't organize the exhibits for them for these counts, which has complicated the jury's job. they've had to organize the exhibits to match them up with the counts. i still think they're probably put off by richard gates's plea agreement which tells them that he basically got a walk on something that manafort may have to serve the rest of his life. >> eric: more in a moment.

good chemistry. but i can tell you, there is been no missile launches no, rocket launches, we got the hostages back. [applause] and we didn't pay $1.8 billion in cash for the hostages. [applause] there's been no nuclear tests. and they say what's taking so long? i said, for 40, 50, 60 years, during the nuclear age, 25 years, you've been working and nobody complained about the fact that president obama was unable to do anything with north korea and he considered it, read the papers, you'll see what he considered it. i've been three months, i have a
he picked up $44 billion. he told that to the press, he didn't report it. $44 billion. and then i just left recently, and we're going to pick up at least another close to $100 billion extra. i said to him, you got to pay your bills. the united states is paying close to 90% of the cost of protecting europe. that's wonderful. i said europe, folks, nato is better for you than interest is for us. believe me. and what happened is they asked a question. they have small countries, big countries, all of these countries. we're supposed to protect them. i said look, it's very simple. you got to pay up. you got to pay your bill. somebody said, sir, there's a president of the country calling me sir that, shows respect. i say yes mr. president.
have been ripping us off, in brackets. treated the nato leaders with tremendous contempt and disrespect. i said no, no, no, they disrespected our country, they weren't paying. [applause] now they're paying. how about if we got into a c conflict because a country was attacked. we're in world war 3. we're protecting a country that was attacked and didn't pay its bills. i feel so stupid. we're protecting a country that wasn't paying its bills. i got them to pay $100 billion, it's going to be much more than that. tremendous amounts of money. tremendous. they got to pay up, they're paying up. and then they made the statement that i showed great disrespect. but actually, i have a great
relationship with all of those people, 28 people, all of them. we have a great relationship. now they respect us. they respect our country again. they didn't respect our country. they didn't respect our country. [applause] they respect us again. and you see it with china. china was walking its way down, i don't want them to go down, but they're down close to 30% in three months. i want them on do well, i want to be their friend. but we had to do things that we had to do. when i came, we were heading in a certain direction that was going to allow china to be bigger than us in a very short period of time. that's not going to happen any more. [applause] not going to happen. can't let it happen. the long winding road, you know the long, winding road. i have tremendous respect for china.
the energy, the genius, it's incredible what they have done. hopefully will have a great relalsship. it has to be a two-way street. we have only one-way streets. not just china, every country. our enemies, our friends, our allies. our allies treat us worse than our enemies. believe it. so it's all changing. when we get those trade deals done properly, and you know what bothers me, i have people coming to me, in congress, sir, can you get this deal done immediately. i say it doesn't work that way. i don't want to go too fast. the deal won't be any good if we do. that it has to jess tate, right -- gestate. right? like when you cook a chicken. time, time, turkey for thanksgiving miechlt mother would say eight hours. i said eight hours? she made the greatest turkey i've ever had. takes time. takes time.
doing very well, on our way with a good deal, a fair deal. i don't want a good deal, i want a fair deal for both of us. fair with mexico. [applause] and you've heard me say it. as an example, when china makes a car they sell it into the united states, there's 2.5% tariff, of which they don't pay. they pay nothing. other than that it's a wonderful deal. when we make a car we sell it into china and there's a 25% tariff. that's just the beginning. there's others. a man was driving down a street in china and he looked over, and it was a chevrolet like camaro, does that make cents? i think it cost $39,000 or $40,000. he's in china, beijing, and he
shouts across, he shouts across, tell me, how much did that car cost in china? guy looks, $119,000. you understand that, right? it's all taxes and taxes and taxes. we can't do that any more, can't do it. we are a country with unbelievable potential. we are a country that has been ripped off by everybody. and we're not going to be ripped off any more. and if it takes me a little angst to tell senators and congressman and all of the people that really do have your heart in their hands, in many cases, sometimes i wonder where are they coming from. but it has to take that little period of time w that being said we're moving so fast nobody can believe it. and every country wants to make a deal. because we're like the big fat piggy bank that everybody wants
to rob. we're not going to let them rob us any more. is that okay? we're not going to let them rob us any more. every day we're keeping or promises. we're cancelling obama's illegal anti-coal destroying regulations. the so-called clean power plan. doesn't that sound nice? clean power. you know, when i ended the paris accord, what's a more beautiful name than the paris accord. let's call it the west virginia accord, maybe i would have signed it. [applause] when i entered that, it was going to cost us hundreds of billions of dollars. hundreds of billions. other countries as an example, china, didn't kick in until many years in the future. we kicked in immediately.
russia went back many years which was not a clean time in terms of the environment. you know what we all agree, we want a clean environment, a strong, beautiful, clean environment. i want clean air. i want crystal clean water. and we've got it. we've got the cleanest country in the planet right now. there's nobody cleaner than us. and it's getting better and better and better. i'm getting rid of the ridiculous rules and regulations which are killing our companies, our states, and our jobs. just today we announced our new affordable clean energy proposal that will help our coal-fired power plants and save consumers, you, me, everybody, billions and billions of dollars. [applause] we've eliminated a record number of job-killing regulations and
republicans have passed the biggest tax cuts and reform, the reform is very important. you know what i said, i don't want to talk about reform, nobody knows what it means. that could be a tax increase. i said how come it's been ronald ray ga than since you got the last big tax cut? they looked at me and said we don't know. a lot of great senators and congressmen came up to see me, and they had the 2018 tax reform. i said what the hell does that mean? are you going to raise taxes? then i found out this is what they've done for 40 years. tax reform. i said nobody knows what it means. we do have reform in there, great reform. but they said nobody knows. i said nobody knows what it means. here is, i want to put it down, tax cuts. they said what would be your favorite name mr. president. i said the tax cut-cut-cut-cut-cut bill. and we almost did it.
we almost did it. but in all fairness, in this case, congressmen, a couple of them, thought it was tacky. so we called it the tax cut and jobs bill. but you know what? we have done great reform. the biggest tax cut in the history of our country. you people are benefitting. you're benefitting. and companies are benefitting, and those companies are the ones that are providing all of the jobs. we're setting records on jobs. we're protecting, also, so important for west virginia and a lot of states, we are protecting, again, religious liberty. [ applause ] and we're also standing up to social media censorship, that's the new thinking. that's the new thing. you know, i'd rather have fake news, like cnn, i'd rather have fake news.
[booing] than have anybody, including liberals, socialists, anything, than have anybody stop and sensor. we have to live with it, we have to live with fake news, there's too many sources. everyone of us is like a newspaper. you have twitter, facebook, whatever you have. everyone, you can't have censorship. you can't pick one person and say we don't like what he's been saying, he's out. so we'll live with fake news, i mean i hate to say it. but we have no choice. that's by far the better alternative. can't have people saying censorship. you know what, it can turn around, it can be them next. it can be them next. we believe in the right of americans to speak their minds. we repeal the core of obamacare, individual mandate, we want to give critically ill patients, we have to give them access, we
have to give healthcare to people. we want the right to try. you know what that is? they've been trying to get this for 40 years, couldn't get it. a person is terminally ill, they're terminally ill, they're really sick. i know people if they have money they travel all over the world to try and find a cure f they don't have money they die. they die. we have the greatest scientists in the world. that's why china and so many other people are trying, countries, trying to steal our technology. we can't let that happen. we have so many people that want to be able to give, it's like hope, right to try, i love it. they never had it before. a person is terminally ill. we have a great new drug but it's going to take another two, three years to have it approved. okay, maybe longer. but the tests are really looking
good. this person is very sick. this person is going to be dead in 90 days and we couldn't get that drug for that person, no matter who you are. what's the story with this? there were a lot of complications. the insurance companies had problems, medical companies had problems, everybody. a lot of people didn't want them on the stats. horrible things. i said what's going on. we're going to take the right to try and we went through with the help of corey, your great, wonderful -- are you a coal lover, shelly. with the help of shelly. soon to be with patrick, he has a lot of things, he's going to get it. we have it approved. now if we have a drug that hasn't been approved, somebody has a certain illness, they're going to be able to try. you know what? some of the drugs we have in the
pipeline are amazing. it's going to work for a lot of people. it's going to give them hope, give them hope. we've just secured $6 billion to fight the opiod epidemic. i know in west virginia that's a big deal, right? that's a big deal. we confirmed a record number of circuit courtings j.j., the record, is going -- court judges. it's bigger and bigger. if schumer would get them approved. he's not happy about approving them. we confirmed the great neil gorsuch to the supreme court of the united states. and as i just said, justice kavanaugh is doing great. looks like, i don't know, very tough. central casting. how do you vote against him? but the democrats may find a way. we've secured a record $700
billion for our military this year. and $716 billion. billion with a "b." our military will be stronger and bigger and better and more sophisticated than it's ever been. ever! and hopefully we'll never have to use it. we have a lot of good fighters out here. i see some of them, i know some of them. the one thing about a fighter or a nation or whatever you want, the stronger your military the better chance you have of never having to use it. we don't want to use it. we don't want to use it. and all of that equipment is being built right here in the usa, we make the greatest fighter jets in the world, we make the greatest ships in the world, we make the greatest missiles and rockets. nobody does it like us. and at my direction the pentagon
is working hard to create the sixth branch of the american armed forces, the space force. [applause] i'm very excited. we need it. that's the new frontier. i'm not just talking about sending rockets to the moon. i'm talking about militarily, that's whesh it's at. thanks to the leadership of u.n. ambassador nikki haley we've reduced t reduced the united nations budget, saving the taxpayers $350 million. nobody wants to write it. we just passed the landmark v.a. accountability law, that's where people that don't treat our vets properly we look at them and we
say you're fired, get the hell out. 45 years they've been trying to pass it. 45 years they've tried to pass it. we also passed veterans choice so that if our veterans can't get the care they need they have the right to see a private doctor. they don't have to wait in line for three weeks, four weeks, eight weeks, two months. i withdrew the united states from the horrible iran nuclear deal. [applause] and this month we reimposed tough sanctions on iran nuclear program and on iran. i also recognize the capital of israel and opened the american embassy in jerusalem.
and i understand now what happened. every president, many, many presidents, they said we're going to do it. we're going to move our embassy to jerusalem, going to be the capital of israel. we're going to do it. then they don't could it. -- don't do it. politicians, they don't do it. i said i'm going to do it during the campaign, right here in west virginia. and i now understand why many, many presidents before me said they were going to do it and didn't do it. because i was inundated with calls from foreign leaders. every country, don't do it, don't do it, don't do it, please don't do it. and so actually what i did, i was about five days off, i stopped taking calls, i said i'll call you back next week. i knew what they were going to ask me. easier to say, oh, i didn't know you were calling for that reason.
so i approved it. and it should have been done years ago. [applause] and if there's ever going to be peace, remember i said it, with the palestinians, it was a good thing to have done. because we took it off the table. because every time there were peace talks they never got past jerusalem becoming the capital. i said take interest off the table. in the negotiation, israel will have to pay a higher price. they want a very big thing. i took it off the table. they could never get by. i understand that, corey, you both understand that. shelly, they could never get past the fact of jerusalem becoming the capital. now it's off the table. there's nothing to negotiate. but they'll get something very good. it's their term next. see what happens. it's very interesting. i've heard that's the toughest deal of all deals.
that's called peace between israel and the palestinians. they say that's the toughest of all deals. we'll see what happens. instead of apologize, that's what we're doing, is winning. instead of apologizing for america we're standing up for america, we're standing up for the heros who defend our country. to continue this incredible success, we must elect republicans, we must elect patrick morrissey, we need him. we need patrick. so get your friends, your neighbors, your co-workers, your family members, get the people that love our country and get out to vote. we need his vote so badly. we need his energy. you're going to see, he has energy. loyal citizens like you help
build this country. together we're taking back our country. returning power to where it belongs to the american people. from morgantown to madison to charleston this great state was settled by tough pioneer men and strong pioneer women who tamed the wilderness to build a better life for themselves and for their incredible american families. they didn't have a lot of money. they didn't have a lot of luck. but they had grit and they had faith and they loved each other. i'll tell you what, they were smart. they are smart. we're the smart ones, remember. i say it all the time, you hear the elite, they're not elite, we're elite. you're smarter than they are, you have more money than they are, you have better jobs than they do. you're the elite.
let them have the word elite, you're the super elite, that's what it is. i always hate, i always hate when they say well the elite decided not to go to something i'm doing. the elite. i say, well, i have a lot more money than they do. i have a much better education than they have. i'm smarter than they are. i have many much more beautiful homes than they do. i have a better apartment at the top of fifth avenue. why the hell are they the elite, tell me? because you're the elite, just remember that, you're the elite. they aren't the elite. that's just a name. aren't you insulted when they say the elite? i'm always insulted. they're not the elite. your people and the people that
preceded you in west virginia were the carpenters and the coal miners, the ministers, the metal workers, the farmers, the factory workers. they all had one thing in common. they love their families, they love their country, and they love their god. [applause] we stand on the shoulders of generations of american patriots who knew how to fight and they knew how to win. we're winning again. we're winning again. just like them we're going to keep on fighting and we're going to keep on winning. and we're going to win for our nation, our children, our families. we're going to win for our continued freedom. [applause]
i joked that i'll have patrick morrissey coming to me soon, he will be your senator, and he'll say mr. president, the people of west virginia can't stand winning so much. they haven't won in decades. and now you're winning with coal, winning with everything. he's going to say patrick is going to say mr. president, please, they don't want to win so much. they can't stand it. please, you're winning too much for west virginia, please stop winning. i'm going to say patrick, i'm sorry, i don't care what the hell the people of west virginia want, we're going to keep on winning anyway, because i believe that's what they want. right? that's what they want.
[applause] because the people of west virginia never give up, they never give in, and they never back down. place because we are america and our hearts bleed red, white, and blue. we are one people, one family, and one glorious nation under god. and together we will make america wealthy again. that's happening. that's happening a lot faster than the fake news ever said it could happen. we will make america strong again. we will make america safe again. and we will make america great again.
thank you, west virginia, thank you. [applause] ♪ "you can't always get what you want" ♪ >> tucker: you can't always get what you want, the signature ending to a trump rally. wrapping up the speech in west virginia on a busy news day. we've been watching the events of today, tammy bruce joins with us a recap. tammy, tell me what you thought of the president's remarks in light of everything that's happened today in the news. >> well, he was on his game, frankly more than i'd even seen him. he clearly loves what he's doing, still. he had a message he wanted to impart. he did so.
i never really realized his outgoing theme song was a message to the elite. but apparently it is at this point. they're not getting what they want. this is an unflappable man. look, it was a lot of news today. but it was also news that wasn't necessarily surprising. it's kind of been baked into what we've been watching for the last year, year and a half. so it's not surprising. and the president of course sig nals nald his approach when he was going to the rally, reiterating his feeling about the mueller investigation, nothing of what happened today was about the special counsel and the so-called russian collusion. but of course it seemed today at this rally, reminding people of what he's accomplished for them. even more than that, being in a state with people that the democrats took for granted, that democratic administrations effectively abandoned, hillary and obama wanted to change and destroy getting rid of coal. he reminded them that he's with them that, he was a part of
them, and they're with him. this is what you're going to see leading up to the mid terms. optimistic man, remaining confident, he clearly, mentioned the molly tibbetts murder, but it's so early at this point, not going into the details there, but making it clear with what you're also going to hear leading up to the mid terms, that a red wave means safety and strength. that a blue wave would mean open borders, and crime. that is the method -- the message you will be hearing from the president leading into the mid terms and it will be one that resonates. >> tucker: i think he wins on these themes. i was, however, a little surprised to learn that michael cohen was taking a commission for selling a birken bag which i had never heard of, extremely expensive hand bag, he made $30,000 brokering a deal and he didn't pay taxes on it. that's amusing, i don't know why.
>> even the elitist products, might come back and bite you. >> tucker: yeah. you shouldn't pay that much for a hand bag, maybe god is weighing in. >> a message from the lowered. >> tucker: thank you. well, this is a fox news alert, as mentioned, paul manafort was found guilty on eight counts financial, mostly tax evasion. michael cohen pleaded guilty to criminal charges of his own a lot happened. we're joined by chief important ton dent ed henry to tell us what it was. hey, ed. >> good to see you. the michael cohen case could be more damaging to the president, he was directly implicated. a far cry from the paul manafort case, nothing to do with the president, 016, or russia collusion. the former trump campaign chair found guilty on five counts of filing wrong income tax returns, two charges of bank fraud. jury couldn't reach a verdict on
10 other counts. prosecutors have until the end of the month to decide on a possible retrial. there is a possibility that manafort could be pardoneded by the president. the president said nothing about the potentially more explosive cohen case. leaving to it his attorney, rudy giuliani, to provide this statement. no aels of any wrongdoing against the president and the government's charges against mr. cohen. it's clear as the prosecutor noted mr. cohen's actions reflect a pattern of lies and dishonesty over a significant period of time. cohen's plea deal allegation he broke the law to influence the 2016 election. cohen will get prison time between 43 and 63 months on charges of bank fraud, tax evasion and campaign finance charges involving payments to two women who allege romantic relationships with the president. no campaign finance law was
broken according to giuliani. this plea deal contradicts that statement and raises questions whether the president or anyone else from the campaign will be implicated. >> tucker: at its core a confusing story, really, thank, ed. appreciate it. allen dershowitz is a retired harvard law professor, the author of "the case against impeaching president trump." the manafort story, convicted of tax evasion, sounds like he did it, i don't think many people are surprised. cohen, part of the guilty plea surrounds money that he moved apparently from trump's together a woman who alleged sexual contact with trump. that's a common scenario among famous people, we have seen a lot of it, people paying off women who say they had sexual contact with the affluent person. is that illegal, how is that a crime? >> well, itself isn't a crime. if the president had paid it directly it wouldn't be a crime. the allegation here is that it was cohen who paid it and made a campaign contribution.
which he didn't report at the direction of the president. some stations are already playing the funeral music for president trump. but this is much more complicated, much more knew answered. the crime itself is very, very vague. they try to put edwards, the former presidential candidate, on trial and of course he got an acquit an. it depends completely on the credibility of cohen. as judge ellis said, when they squeeze people like manafort or cohen, they squeeze them not only to sing but sometimes to compose. it's very easy to embellish a story. assume hypothetically he did pay the money and it was designed to help the impact. election that wouldn't involve the president. all he has to do is say the president directed me to do it. that's the kind of embellishment people put on a story when they want to avoid dieing in prison. the prosecutor says you have two
choices, die in prison or give me a story can i use to get the president. i'm not suggesting that happened here. the risk is what judge ellis talked about in the manafort case. we may see that at work here. we're a long way from tolling the bells for this administration. it's a bad day, negative day but not a fatal one. >> tucker: bad for sure. but i'm a bit confused. some one comes to you and says to you, you're running for office and the person says give me money or i will humiliate you in public and you do give that person money, instruct your lawyer to give that person money, that's a campaign donation? >> not if you make it yourself. if somebody else pays the money in order to influence the outcome. election it is technically,ps practice, a violation of the election laws. that's what they tried to get edwards on, didn't work. they got an acquittal and hung
jury they never tried him again. but you know, again, violation of election laws, are regarded as kind of jaywalking. in the realm of things, about elections. and there are so many of them. every administration vie lalts the election laws. every candidate violates the election laws. usually they pay a fine, something like that happens. here they're trying to elevate night an impeachable offense or felony against the president. they may name the president as an unindicted co-conspirator that, did that with nixon, back then, i complained about that. naming some one as unindicted co-conspiracy, he has no opportunity to defend himself or herself. that may happen. this is the beginning of a story that will unravel over time. but it's not nearly as deadly lethal as some have portrayed it as being. >> tucker: certainly confusing. as a matter of -- professor, thank you, for explaining that.
appreciate it. >> president trump: with the illegal alien coming in, very sadly, from mexico and you saw what happened to that incredible, beautiful young woman. should have never happened. illegally in our country. we've had a huge impact. but the laws are so bad. the immigration laws are such a disgrace. >> tucker: the president moments ago for the last month, iowans have searched for molly tibbetts. today, tragically, her body was discovered. the suspect is an illegal immigrant. he led them to the body in a corn field. matt fin is in iowa for us with details. matt? >> talker, molly tibbetts' body was found in a corn field not far from where i'm standing.
police say 24-year-old christian rivera has been channelled with first degree murder in the death of molly tibbetts. authorities say he has been in this country illegally. tonight we're working to learn about rivera's background. we have learned that i.c.e. has placed a detainer on rivera and say he's here from mexico. one of the lead investigators giving us a little more details on christian rivera. >> we have confirmed with homeland security investigation that he is an illegal alien. and we believe he's been in this area, now, for four to seven years. >> investigators say rivera confessed that on july 18, the day molly tibbetts went missing, he approached her and followed her while she was out on her jog. she spotted him and said leave me alone, i'm going to call police. took out her cell phone. rivera told police he continued to follow her and blacked out and doesn't remember what happened after that. nd he came to in a rural area
not far from here. authorities say this morning rivera led them to a remote location about 13 miles from her hometown where they found what they believe is the body of molly tibbetts. authorities say it was a surveillance video that showed molly jogging and then rivera's black malibu car, how they tracked down rivera. police have not revealed the manner of molly's death. rivera saw molly prior to the day that she allegedly murdered her on july 18, it's not clear how often he saw her. police are also going to clarify are us in the coming days whether he may have been stalking her. she was set to return to the university of iowa as a sophomore, her father rob tibbetts was on the ground here pleading for information leading to the arrest or conviction of anyone involved in the disappearance of his daughter. he went to the university -- he went to the iowa state fair to
hand out fliers begging for information. after 30-plus days he's learned that his daughter has been found dead. tucker? >> tucker: thank you, matt. as with the kate steinle case a young american might still be alive if the country were willing to enforce its own federal laws. luis er luiser if nan da injoining us. >> thank you. >> tucker: the line that the rest of us are willing to accept, all immigrants are great people, better than us, if we su expect otherwise we're bad peepful we point to evidence proving otherwise then we're bigots and should be quiet. why don't americans have a quite to police their own borders and say if you aren't here legally you have to leave now. >> i'm glad that you're giving us an opportunity to have this discussion. democrats, republicans, independent interests, immigrants and those born here
all alike can agree that the heinous crimes have no place regardless of who does them. just this week, we found out that a white man in denver killed his wife and two beautiful daughters. tragic. just as this young woman in iowa, whose death is a tragedy. i can't imagine what her family is going through. >> tucker: but here's the difference. i understand. hold on. >> the man in denver doesn't speak for all white men. >> tucker: i didn't say anything about this man's race, the story isn't about race, don't make it about race, stop. that i was saying this is about nationality and citizenship. he had no right to be here. that's the difference. lots of americans commit heinous crimes, we put them in prison where they should be. exactly. >> tucker: but he didn't have a right to be here in the first place. he should not have been here. his presence violated federal law. you and your party tell us we're racist for wanting to enforce our own laws. i has everything to do with whether we think laws are real. some of the -- tlmpblts's more we agree on.
we agree that the immigration system is badly broken, horribly broken. >> tucker: i don't think that. >> the people that have a way of fixing that have been oftentimes republicans. >> tucker: no, you don't -- this is just spin. it's simple. i asked you a question, answer it, why don't we as american citizens, you, me, our neighbors, everyone, immigrants or not, an american, have a right to say if you don't have a right to be here you must leave. when did we lose that right? why don't we have that right? >> i tell you when, when people who own big corporations, companies, inviting these people to come work off times at depressed wages they need the labor. >> tucker: i agree with you completely. i agree with you completely. >> george bush brought mexican immigrants to help with the recovery and reconstruction after katrina. >> tucker: to his eternal shame and the unemployment rate -- you're right, but what you are missing is the african-american
unemployment rate in new orleans remains very high. those jobs went to foreigners. they didn't help the americans who need the help. >> i agree. >> tucker: you're right, i agree. to his eternal shame. one of the reasons he has a lot to be ashamed of from eight years as president. one of the main things. i have a simple question, you and i agree. why don't we say to employers you must verify the legal status of your employees, if you can't you can't employ them. >> we agree on. that one of the things we did under the obama administration is establish e-verify. >> tucker: universal e-verify. absolutely, yes it was. >> tucker: democrats are totally against it, they take money from these employers that rely on cheaper -- >> it included it. border security. it included verification. d.c. it's not true.
democrats right now, ask members, in the senate, are you for universal e-verify. if you can't prove your employees are in this country you can't employ them r they for it. >> under the obama administration we set off drones in california, added border patrol agents. we agree we need a safe and orderly border. >> tucker: it didn't work. >> how do you use your reverses. the problem i have is we have immigration agents chasing down moms taking their kids to school instead of looking for criminals. >> tucker: that's silly. here was a real criminal. if we --. absolutely. >> tucker: if we eliminate i.c.e. as democrats call for, how do we police our immigration laws? we can't. you represented a party that would like to eliminate immigration ep forcement. >> as long as trump and other republicans politicize it, it turns into a kind have debate
that takes away from the reality that we need a safe and secure border, someone who is stopping the flow of illegal guns and drugs north, and bulk cash. we did that during the obama administration. >> tucker: i'm sorry, this is disingenuous. the country is flooded with heroin from mexico. >> we are in agreement on that. but when you politicize it -- >> tucker: with respect you aren't tell the truth. >> the mom going to school and taking her kids there and raiding factories -- >> tucker: thank you, i appreciate it. okay. the left is hyping up its base for 20920 election. could their priorities be hurting them? hem in the upcoming midterm? you're turning onto the street when you barely clip a passing car. minor accident - no big deal, right? wrong. your insurance company is gonna raise your rate after the other car got a scratch so small you coulda fixed it with a pen. maybe you should take that pen and use it to sign up with a different insurance company. for drivers with accident forgiveness

on almost every issue, they seem to be moving well to the left of the general republic. meld i cale for all, bashing people for their skin color, getting pretty hardcore. but how will it help them if at all during this year's races in the mid terms? dana perino joins us tonight, joins "the daily briefing" if you watch every day and should. it's nice to have some one as calm and considered, after the heated conversation we had. i'm especially grateful you are here. do you think it's possible that the strategy for 2020 affects the mid terms adversely, or the other way around? >> dana: the other day i was listening to the podcast a woman from third way, pretty moderate democrat, said she could list 35 democrats that come to mind that are going to want to run in 2020. and in their zeal to try to find a lane in 2020, they are stirring up the base in 2018 but the wrong base.
because clays basically what they're talking about is supreme court obstruction, impeaching the president, medi-cal for all, and this relates -- medicare for all and abolishing i.c.e. all of those things are what democratic senators in tough re-election, don't want to talk about those things. they could be good bumper stickers for 2020, they're not helpful for 2018. >> tucker: i mean, do you think looking at the map, i know you do in a forensic way, do you think that enough races could be altered by the themes that the republicans hold the house? >> dana: sure, it is possible for the republicans to hold the house. they are going to lose some seats, no doubt about that. but if the stars align just right and you don't have any more problems like, we haven't even talked about congressman duncan hunter was indicted along with his wife for illegal use of campaign funds. going on personal trips and also buying hawaiian shorts and
saying they could pass it off as a donation to wounded warriors. that kind of corruption is something that democrats are starting to pick up on. >> tucker: a shocking story. >> dana: you will see they look at collins, hunter, try to pin corruption and law and order issues against the republicans. sure, the republicans could find a way to keep the house. it is just as possible that the democrats will find a way to pick off a lot of these races. i think there's about 35 to 45 tossup races right now. that means that depending how things go, we have a long way between now and november. these issues that the democrats are talking about, it helps for the outrage in 2020 but it's not going to help them in 2018. >> tucker: i agree with that. and the corruption stuff, is always legitimate to run against corruption. dana perino, thank you for that, great to see you. we will be right back.
