From the head of the cdc and also talk with senator marco rubio about the immigration crisis. Im Chris Wallace in washington. On the record is straight ahead. This is a fox news alert. Were moments away from the house vote on the newly readvised border bill and lawmakers are scrambling to get something voted on before they take off on the fiveweek vacation. Mike emmanuel has the very latest. Reporter after the bill was pulled yesterday, they went back to the drawing board last night. Its 694 million package, a lot of it focused on border security. Theres a separate component essentially trying to make sure president obama doesnt do more executive actions to allow more illegals into the country and doesnt put off people being deported back to their home countries. So weve talked to a lot of republicans throughout the course of the day. Some were skeptical last night and a lot have come on board at this point. Every republican i talked to at this point feels they have the 218 votes to pass this bill. Now, a complicating factor, the senator has gone home for a fiveweek recess, president obama signaled he would veto the bill if sent to him but not calling the senate back into action. At this point the house is expected to act tonight. They are expected to pass two separate bills but at this point its not expected to go anywhere. You can expect a war of words over the august recess between republicans and democrats and house and senate and president over what was done over the border issue and what more needs to be done to tighten up our border. Greta . Is there anything that would draw Senate Majority leader harry reid to come back to work, to bring the senate back here to pass some sort of bill to reconcile and do any work on this . They are caught in a humane tar yan crisis. The house is passing something the senate doesnt want and president doesnt want. At least they are working. Would anyone agree to come back . Reporter at this point it does not appear that way. I cant speak for senator reid if theres intense pressure that builds up over august will he change his mind . But the president came out late today in the White House Briefing room and was critical of the house measure but there were no signs of him trying to put pressure on senate democrats. His own party, to come back to washington to do something on this humanitarian crisis. From people ive talked to at this point, nobody seems to think senate is coming back before september. Well, so much for humanitarian crisis they say is so important and get out of town and dont deal with. Whatever. Mike, thank you. Thank you. Greta. What do House Republicans hope the new version of the border bill will join us. Jason chaffetz joins us. As they put on my microphone, greta, im glad the house is doing its work and glad were being the responsible party for all of the rhetoric from the president , the reality is House Republicans are acting, were working to fund this and empowering the National Guard 70 million, half of the money going down to the actual states. Were funding this so they can detain these people, reunite them with families and put them back in their own country where theyve come from. I dont know if you have a great bill or not. I have no idea. Ive read and see you couldnt get it passed last night so there have been revisions and expectation to get 218 votes today. I find it rather appalling that everyone in the senate, many members of the senate, including Senate Majority leader called this a humanitarian crisis and president called it a humanitarian crisis and yet everyone leaves town. The president takes no responsibility, doesnt call the senate back and harry reid
doesnt give a damn because hes out of town and wont call the senate back. My hat goes off to you, at least youre working. We rolled up the Shirt Sleeves, it wasnt perfect. We had literally hours and hours and hours of discussion to try to get this right. It is a better set of bills now than it was before. Thats what were supposed to be doing. And any spending bill has to originate in the house of representatives so we have to go first. Why the senate add adjourned and said they were going to go their own way, i dont know, i cant answer that. The president did what the president just does and that is, gather the press together and have a press conference but in terms of rolling up his Shirt Sleeves and asking the senate to come back and act, you have to ask harry reid. Thats the way they roll in the senate. I dont know whats going to happen with the midterm elections but i hope American People think long and hard because if youre going to come out and Say Something is a humanitarian crisis and so important for the nation and leave town, i think i cant
think of a more i cant think of a greater way to not do your job. When you say its so important, its so important except for your vacation. Now, like i said, i dont know if your bill is any good, at least what should be happening, the president should be talking to Speaker Boehner and harry reid trying to work out something for this humanitarian crisis, something. I dont understand the president wont even do that. Were going to be working late into the night to get this done. The house of representatives is the peoples house and the people are speaking tonight. Well pass out these two bills. I do think they improve the situation and think they are better bills than they were yesterday. It is a crisis and were talking about children here and of course weve got to deal with it. They have to have funding to deal with this. Weve got to help lockdown the border and get the National Guard there to help out. Thats what were doing tonight. Whats the feeling on the floor, that this will pass or
not pass . I dont know if if its a great bill or not, is the thinking youll get 218 votes . Clearly they would not bring up the bill if they did not think its going to pass. Im going to need to scramble back down there, greta. I know you have to vote. Well be watching to see if republicans get the 218 now. Jason chaffetz, thanks very much. Thanks, greta. This is a fox news alert, Israeli Forces moving deeper into gaza searching for a soldier kidnapped by hamas. Two other Israeli Soldiers killed. Lasting less than 90 minutes. Heres the latest, conner. Reporter one of israels leading newspapers is calling todays event a game changer and not in a positive way. Today we had two important
events that are not sort they dont bode well for the future of this conflict. First, you had this ceasefire, 72hour humanitarian ceasefire. It really failed and crumbled before it started. Within minutes of the deadline, we had fighting and it never stops. During that ceasefire, during the time it was supposed to start, hamas launching an attack on an Israeli Group trying to destroy these cross border tunnels. Two killed and another one reportedly captured. The Israeli Military saying he was captured by hamas. Hamas political wing and military wing saying they dont know anything about this missing soldier. That doesnt mean in fact they havent captured him, but they are right now playing very coy and not announcing it. There are a lot of other militant groups aligned with hamas and maybe one of those groups have actually taken the
lieutenant who israel announced is the missing soldier. Right now hamas leadership is playing dumb on this. But the act has been condemned by the United States and white house secretary of state john kerry calling the act gross violation, unilateral violation of the ceasefire. President obama saying that hamas needs to return the soldier immediately unconditionally and u. N. Also declaring and condemning this act by hamas. But what we are seeing right now in Southern Gaza where this soldier went missing is a massive search operation. We are seeing heavy, heavy fighting tonight and all day today. Its the exact type of door to door urban warfare the israelis did not want to have in gaza, the nightmare scenario for is really forces and only draws them in even further into gaza. They said in recent days they wanted to destroy the tunnels
and get out. This capture of this israeli soldier does just the opposite. It keeps them here evening longer. Conor, thank you. The u. N. s top human rights official accusing israel and hamas of defying International Law and criticized United States but not giving similar help to people of gaza. Former spokesperson joins us. Good evening, rick. Greta. I dont know what it means for u. N. Human rights head of the human rights to criticize us, but now were dragged into it and were defying International Law, the United States . Its crazy. This is the Human Rights Council that the bush administration, if you remember withdrew from the Human Rights Council at the u. N. , simply because it was very antiisrael. What we did is said were not going to fund this organization and be a part of it because its
really full of all of human rights violators around the world. The Obama Administration put us back on the Human Rights Council and said it was reformed and that it was all better. What were seeing is that once again, antiisrael. The idea that somehow because weve helped with the iron dome in israel, that we need to give money to hamas so that they can have their own iron dome is a moral ee quif lency argument. Hamas is like al qaeda. Would we be giving money to al qaeda to help fight a war . No. Hamas is a terrorist organization, a terrorist organization that the egyptians and jordanians feel they need to condemn. Were not the only ones that think this. To take it one step further, thats like saying she should also condemn hezbollah for not funding israel equally since they fund hamas, if we want to
take it one step further, to be completely silly. She attacked both hamas and attacks israel but then attacks us for supplying this. Does it make any difference, rick, does this commission have any impact whatsoever other than as sort of they just say stuff . Do they have any teeth . Any the dont have any teeth and waste a lot of money. There are 47 members on this committee. They are based in geneva andish issue a lot of reports. They waste a lot of money and time. If you are a world human rights violator, you run and get on this committee, we tried to reform this committee through the bush years, its unreformable. What we need to do is have a body at the u. N. Or a team, a small team that can speak very clearly when theres a human rights violation, no moral
equivalency arguments. A terrorist organization is not equal to a country. We need to have that person or team that can really call out the violators. At this point though, i guess the best they can do, they can maybe sway Public Opinion in one way or another or other than ch . Right, they are like a bully pulpit. They issue reports and theres a lot of media that follow and pretend this is some sort of investigation. Its not an investigation at all. Its 47 members who come together and majority wins. Again, the violators are in control of this committee. Its a Regional Organization membership organization. So you know, a certain amount from latin america, a certain amount from asia, certain amount from the middle east, a automatically get on. Its not a true representation of the world. Do you know the woman who is the head of this, out of south
africa, do you know anything about her . Shes had a long history of being very antiisrael. We have called her out for a very long time. She doesnt have credibility. But again, shes placed as the head from all of these organizations these countries that join the Human Rights Council. We have not for a very long time we have not put money and our faith in this council, only since the Obama Administration did they rejoin it so the United States is a part of it. But for a long time she has been very antiisrael and we tried to highlight a long series of comments and reports that she put her stamp of approval on that are one sided and bias. Rick, thanks for joining us. Thanks, greta. This is a fox news alert, an american aide worker suffering from ebola is now in the air heading back to the United States from liberia, the other
stricken american is expected in a few days. Both very sick patients will be treated in a specialized unit of an atlanta hospital. Live at emory with the very latest. Whats the latest . Reporter its been a fluid situation this afternoon. They were initially bracing to receive one of these patients and director of the clinical Isolation Unit that will be caring for the patient got a call about 20 minutes before a press Conference Today saying can you take both of these critically ill missionariries. They have been identified as dr. Ken brantley and nancy whiteball, infected while taking care of ebola patients. One has lifted off and the other is standing by. They could expect them here at emory in the next few days. Doctors have told ugs the patients are stable enough to fly. Theyll fly on a special
aircraft designed to contain germs. Once they are flown here they are put in a special unit, one of only four in the country that allows them to treat but also medically isolate from all of the other patients in the hospital these patients who have a severe Infectious Disease like ebola. This is a big deal because we never had a case of ebola case in the United States. But emory believes it has the capability and has the team and equipment and this unit to take care of these patients in a way they need to be taken care of. Dr. Bruce ribner believes they deserve the right to come home and have the best access to care. Really they dont have a great chance of survival right now, theres a 60 fatality rate with the west african outbreak and no standard treatment or
vaccination. They have to asupply supportive care, help the kidneys that might be shutting down or liver that might be shutting down function. They keep the patient on a ventilator to help the patient breathe. They are trying to help the patients body survive long enough to be able to fight off this very deadly blood borne virus. Which of the two missionaries is on the flight now . Reporter we got a notification this afternoon from samaritans first, the charity that both belong to that it was nancy may be the first one coming. She is the one who received this experimental blood treatment from a boy who had been treated you about dr. Brantly and recovered from ebola. We havent had any word what they plan to do here but they are talking to the cdc and National Institutes of health and fda about possibly using an
experimental treatment to try to help these two american missionaries but they are both medical workers so they will get their input and permission before they try anything thats unproven. At this point, you just have to let ebola run its course and hope the patient can survive. Thats what they are going to do here at emory in atlanta. Beth, thank you. And developing now, were monitoring the house floor. At me moment lawmakers will begin to vote on the border bill and well bring the latest and our Political Panel is here next. And theres news from dr. Ben carson, heres a hint, 2016. H. Did someone say burn . Try alka seltzer reliefchews.

The Fastest Office plant. So why wouldnt i choose the fastest wifi . I would. Switch to comcast Business Internet and get the fastest wifi included. Comcast business. Built for business. This is a fox news alert. The house vote on the newly revised border bill, lawmakers scrambling to vote on something before they leave for the fiveweek Summer Vacation. Joining us our Political Panel, Betsy Woodruff and josh letterman. They said this is all the house gop, not his fault and not the senates fault and the senate has gone home. The senate has gone home and house is still here trying to get some type of bill through before they go home to say theres a crisis on the border and we voted to do something to provide resources but the fact of the matter is none of that money is going to get anywhere during the month of august because senate has already gone home and two bills have to agree before the money can be spent. Betsy, why cant senator harry reid come back and vote on it, maybe they can agree on Something Else . I hate to say it but it
sounds like politics. Reid is not going to want something the house passed. He said its a humanitarian crisis, doesnt make a difference . You would hope. You would assume but that doesnt seem to be the case, which is absolutely wild. We passed its almost like mad libs, if theres a disagreement, they point fingers and president blames House Republicans and here we go again. Wheres the president s leadership, why doesnt he call them up, we all agree its a humanitarian crisis, lets meet and sit down and talk. Theres a lack of trust. In the past when the president has done that, hasnt been effective in
