Said they should pay. Well go through all of his comments with you one by one. We will explain what he said and what they could mean. And we will start with President Trump saying he is going to send troops to guard our nations southern border. We have very bad laws for our border. And we are going to be doing some things. I have been speaking with general mattis. We are going to be things militarily until we can have a wall and proper security. We are going to be guarding our wall with the military. Its a big step. Big step. Shepard the pentagon is scrambling to come up with a smawns tresponse to the big ste. We dont have specifics on what President Trump is even talking about and neither does the pentagon it reports. Big question can the president of the United States send troops to the border . The answer is yes. Under the insurrection act of the early 1800s, the president can deploy troops anywhere in the United States to execute federal law. Our chief White House Correspondent john roberts witness to all today and live on the north lawn. Troops to the border. That was a real surprising statement that the president made while he was having lunch with the three leaders of the baltic states, astone i cant, lath estonia and latvia. Steve hollanm about it. The president didnt go too far down the road to explain what he meant. James mattis at the white house. He is some members of the department of defense is looking at, including increasing security at the barry m. Goldwater lye fire range in arizona which shares a 35mile border with mexico. There is also military drones that are being used to monitor the border. Other electronic surveillance equipment. There has been no talk of troops so far. Lets play what the president said about it at the press conference. Again, not shedding much more light on the pronouncement he made earlier. We are preparing for the military to secure our border between mexico and the United States. We have a meeting on it in a little while with general mattis and everybody. So the president there saying we are preparing to have the military but giving no level of detail of whether it would be equipment or whether it would actually be personnel. Whether those would be active duty personnel. Whether they would be reservist or National Guard troops. Certainly National Guard troops have been used along the border. Most recently 2013. Texas governor rick perry dispatched about 1,000 of them along the border. And there have been u. S. Troops that were used before to guard the border. Back in the early 1990s, shep, president george h. W. Bush, bush had 1 ordered the joint task force 6 which later became joint Task Force North to assist in drug intraaddiction efforts. That assignment later morphed into antiterrorism component. But, for this president to actually put either active duty or reservists along the border to enforce immigration, that certainly would be something new, shep. Shepard it would. President trump also talked about the, quote caravan of people, unquote, coming from honduras through mexico to the u. S. Border. I told mexico very strongly youre going to have to do something about these caravans that are coming up. I just noticed that the caravan now, which is toward the middle of mexico. Coming up from honduras is breaking up very rapidly. Thats because mexico has very strong immigration laws he a we should have. We should have those laws. We dont have. We have immigration laws that are laughed at by everybody. Shepard fact is, its an annual event. Its a political statement. This one consists about 1200 people, including children and the elderly, organizers say this whole thing is meant to raise awareness about the tens of thousands of Central Americans who deal with violence and political unrest. And as in the past, the migrants will apply for asylum. They dont just rush the border. Organizers say the group will be much smaller by the time it reaches the border because many of the people know that they will not qualify for protection here in the United States. Most Asylum Seekers from these groups in the past never get asylum and theyre sent home. John roberts is back on the north lawn. Is there confusion about this group . I think there might be a little bit of a perception problem here, shep. This whole thing started late last week when Homeland Security secretary Kirstjen Nielsen briefed the president what was going on with this caravan. That sent off the series of tweets that the president sent from maralago over the weekend talking about the caravan and talking about daca. That continued into yesterday. The president trial, im told through those tweets to send a mess stooge mexicos leadership. Cutting off the cash cow aimed for the mexican president. As well as authorities in honduras. This group moving these people and the people themselves to say look you can walk all the way up here to the u. S. Border, but there are no daca protections in place for your children. There are no protections in place for you. And the president hoping that that was going to dissuade them from coming all the way up here. He does seem to have gone some distance to getting the Mexican Government to intervene to some degree. Though we dont know exactly what happened to give rise to this pronouncement by the president in this caravan has, quote, begun to break up. Lets reiterate what he said at the press conference a short time ago on this topic. Listen here. We have a trade deficit with mexico of over 100 billion a year. And i told mexico yesterday that because of the fact that their law are so strong they can do things about it thats hard to believe the United States cant. I said i hope you are going to tell that caravan not to get up to the border. And i think they are doing that because as of 12 minutes ago, it was all being broken up. Well see what happens. But we have to have strong borders. Now, wrapped into all of this the president is also asking congress for tougher immigration laws. One of the things that the president is asking for to make it more difficult for Illegal Immigrants to claim amnesty when they claim over the border into the united unitd states. It may have only complied to a handful of people. Border patrol and large number of people would come across the border and they would claim amnesty which would then put them in the adjudication system where they would be given a date to appear in court. There is a worry that a lot of those people simply disappear into society. The president said this at the press conference this afternoon and never show up for their court date, shep . Shepard he also took aim today, again today at amazon. The post office is losing billions of dollars and the taxpayers are paying for that money because it delivers packages for amazon at a very below cost. And thats not fair to the United States, its not fair to our taxpayers. And amazon has the money to pay the fair rate at the post office, which would be much more than they are paying right now. We are giving a subsidy to amazon and were talking about billions of dollars a year. The real cost. And a report just came out, they said 1. 47, i believe or about that for every time they deliver a package, the United States government, meaning the post office losing 1. 47. So, amazon is going to have to pay much more money no to the post office. Shepard the Postal Services own numbers show it makes money by delivering packages for amazon and other companies. As for taxpayers, the post offices own website points out and i quote the Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating the space. None. And that reference to 1. 47 that the president came up with there, a citigroup study showed last year on average the Postal Service was charging 1. 46 below market rates for package delivery. But our researchers point out if that discount exists its not just for amazon. Its a bulk rate discount. Back to john roberts there is a great deal of confusion or something here regarding amazon and the post office because none of that was true. Well, this could be boiled down into terms. Personal between the president and jeff base zos who, of course, was the guy who created amazon who also now owns the Washington Post. And the Washington Post has got an entire unit thats dedicated to reporting on the trump administration. And the president looks at the Washington Post every day and by and large doesnt like what he sees. And so now he is claiming that the Washington Post is a propaganda arm of jeff bezos and all of this is wrapped together around amazon. And he feels that he can hurt amazon a little bit because he has actually been affecting their stock price by suggesting they are not paying their fair share of taxes and maybe the post office should jack up rates which, of course, would affect the delivery cost for amazon and all those people, shep, who pay a flat fee for prime delivery every year that might shift the cost curve a little bit for amazon. It could very simply be put down that this is a feud between the president and jeff bezos. You know, times have you got your own facts when you are in a feud. Shepard i guess. So amazon is up 9. 46 a share by the way. In the middle of a trade war which we have now a trade war. President trump says the relationship between the United States and china is very good. I have to say this, china, i have Great Respect for president xi. Two of the most incredible days of my life were spent in china. Many of you were with me. He is a tremendous person. But we have a problem with china. They have created a trade deficit and i really blame our representatives and frankly our preceding president s for this. Shepard President Trump recently announced 10s of billions of dollars in import taxes on chinese goods. And this week beijing responded with taxes on american products. Back to john roberts. And, of course, the stock market didnt like that a whole lot yesterday when china imposed the tariffs on 3 billion worth of american products. It was about 100 of them, including pork. And thats a big one for american farmers. No question about that. The president has yet to announce what goods would be subject to u. S. Tariffs from china. Thats supposed to come out sometime this week. The stock market could take another dive. Though we see its up 400 points today. So clearly whatever the effect was from yesterday was pretty shortlived. Though the stock market as we know loves to be jittery and go back down again. Shep, he says he has a great relationship with president xi. The two of them do seem to get along. The trade relationship with china and the United States is one that is difficult at the best of times. But the president simply says that he wants to level the Playing Field and make things more fair and whittle down that huge trade deficit we have with china. Shepard president talked up how tough he has been on russia. Nobody has been tougher on russia. Getting along with russia would be a good thing not a bad thing. Just about everybody agrees to that. Except very stupid people. Shepard its true the booted Russian Diplomats from the company. Exfine britain. Its also true that the white house waited months after congressional deadline to impose economic sanctions for russia for meddling in the election in 2016. After President Trump called the russian president Vladimir Putin and congratulated him on his reelection when he even floated the idea of possibly visiting the white house. Thats usually an atta boy a visit to the white house. Thats one of the things i was going to ask the had i gotten a question to today, shep. Is this meeting going to happen. We know serbia has offered up a facility in belgrade if the two leaders want to meet there the president did point to the expulsion of 60 diplomats so say look other countries expelled four as a result of nerve agent in the u. K. We did 60, saying again again at the press conference than anybody else has. Listen here. There is nobody been tougher on russia and with that being said, i think i could have a very Good Relationship with president putin. I think. Its possible i wont. You will know about it, believe me this room will know about it before i know about it. Russia clearly not happy with the actions taken to expel the diplomats and russian operatives. Kicking out american diplomats saying it would be difficult to host the summit with two leaders as tensions are now. Holding out the idea that things can change which they likely will, shep . Shepard john roberts with a 14minute report from the white house. Thank you, john, we appreciate it. Lots there today. And listen to this. The president says he wants to get out of syria. But at about the same time the president s man in charge of fighting isis was saying the mission is not over and we will continue to fight. Contradicting comments and the rest of the days news coming up from the fox news deck on an extraordinary tuesday afternoon. If hed taken tylenol, hed be stopping for more pills right now.

Mush dogs barking the old ones just fine well do anything, seriously anything, to help our customers. Thanks. Ally. Do it right. Shepard back to series of top stories. Trump had a lot to say during his meeting and News Conference with baltic leaders including that he wants to pull u. S. Troops out of syria. The time has come. He said fighting the Islamic State is costing too much and somebody else should foot the bill. Saudi arabia is very interested in our decision. And i said well, you know, you want us to stay, maybe you are going to have to pay. But a lot of people, you know, we do lot of things in this country. We do them for we do them for a lot of reasons. But its very costly for our country and it helps other countries a hell of a lot more than it helps us. Shepard he added our country has gotten nothing for the trillions of dollars we spent in the middle east. And its too late to take their oil, which is an International Crime but also because isis took it. Very different than comments from the president s guy in charge of fighting isis who spoke just down the street from the president at almost the exact same time. We are in syria to fight isis. That is our mission. Our mission isnt over, and we are going to complete that mission. Shepard same time. John bus is i is here to talk about all of it, associate editor at the wall street journal. The wall street journals Parent Company and fox news Parent Company share common ownership. Hes aware we are fighting a proxy war with the russians and the iranians there in syria, right . Not just isis, right . Shepard no. The isis fight isnt over, as soon as you declare it over, guess what . There is another mushrooming of the problem some place else. That one is not going to end for a long time. Look how long we have been in afghanistan. That problem hasnt gone away either. This is not just about isis. It is about russia and its footprint in the middle east. Russia now is allied with assad in syria. Its got naval and air capability thats in the region in syria. So, the u. S. Is in a balancing act in syria with russia. And its probably going to have to maintain that balancing act in some manner. Not just from surrounding countries but probably within syria as well. Its not just russia. Its iran. Shepard there was a time when the president saying one thing at one podium and his man in charge of the project saying the exact opposite thing at another podium at the same time would be really astounding and you wonder what kind of a message that sort of thing sends back here. Yeah that and his own policy makers. That and those concerned with the iran deal and about our relations with iran and iran at bay syria figures into that because iran has its proxy fighting in syria. And the u. S. Has to contend with that as for sort of disagreeing with somebody who is in charge as we just heard, you saw today a lookout of comments that were made. On a have a right different issues. That once deacon instructed are not exactly as the president would have you believe. This notion of this caravan working its way through mexico towards the u. S. Border. Mass of people. Its an every year event. Its about 1,000 people. You want to guess how many. Shepard its a political statement. More of a political statement by people who are talking about the need to seek asylum in the United States because of issues in Central America and in mexico. We deported out of the United States last year alone 128,000 mexicans, 76,000 Central Americans.
