so what is the administration s plan to house the children or to reunite the families? my guest this morning republican senator james langford of oklahoma and independent senator angus king of maine who caucuses with the democrats. also, refugee crisis. why are so many people from central america coming to the united states? what are they fleeing? richard engel of nbc news has a report from his trip to el salvador. and political culture wars. white house press secretary sarah sanders is asked to leave a restaurant because she works for president trump. her father, mike huckabee tweets this picture with the caption, nancy pelosi introduces her campaign committee. is all of this the new normal? joining me for insight and analysis are nbc news capital news correspondent kasie hunt, and erick erickson editor of the resurgent. welcome to sunday. it s meet the press . the longest-running show in television history, this is meet the press with chuck families a year that are coming at the united states as a family unit. let s go to some specifics here because we haven t gotten a lot of answers from the trump administration, maybe you have gotten some of these answers. maybe they re fulfilling their duty to at least let you know what s going on in congress. do you know how many of these kids that have been separated how many of them are in shelters? how many of them are at detention facilities and how many of them are in foster care. do you know how many are a good idea with the categories. we know where every single child is. this is an issue that s gone out there in some of the other media and it s not been responsible with this with the assumption that the administration s lost track of that. so let me clarify a couple of things. these are career professionals that work with hhs and that work with dhs and customs and border patrol and i.c.e. these are not political appointees and they are career adult they came with so the child and adult they came with, we don t know if that is the parent. oftentimes the parent that is somewhere in the country oftentimes illegally, as well. they came with another relative and so to be able to connect the dots to see if we connect them with their parent that s here in the country and connect them going through procedures and whatever that may be and yes, we are able to connect them as well. the child, you identify the parent and the child, then what happens? is the parent brought to where the child is? are they sent to a separate facility? what can you tell us about that situation? it s a mixture. we are trying to work through the process to connect through the adult and some of the adults are given an ankle monitoring system and an ankle bracelet and they get a notice to appear hearing and as you put in your lead-in which was very well done. the flores settlement from 1997 says that you can only hold that job for 20 days and it takes about 35 days to get a hearing. what the court set up in 1997 was this conundrum. you have to either release them as they come as a family when they come into the country and hope they show up. to be very clear, only 2% of the family units that come to the united states illegally actually go through and actually had the notice to appear, finished up with the notice of removal and actually leave the country. so the family units that are coming here. 98% of them end up somewhere in the country, most of them illegally because they never actually leave after they re given the responsibility for an order of removal. your congressional fix here and let s get to the 20-day conundrum. the trump administration s asking for relief from the courts. they re probably not going to get it because the obama administration asked for the very same relief. hearing. are you in favor of using military bases to house these families? it appears dhs has made a request to the defense department. is that something you think is a good idea. president obama used basis for the minors and some were in my home state in oklahoma which by the way, members of congress from my state tried to visit those facilities that are in my state where president obama was holding the unaccompanied minors and they were turned away at the door and told they were not allowed in. this is something new the trump administration is doing blocking people out. no, it s the exact same policy hhs had before. we made an appointment and after we made an appointment we were able to go through the process. should that be the process or should there be more transparency? do you think the white house has been fully transparent with the american public about what they re trying to do here? i don t, actually. this has been one of the great frustrations. the white house has not been clear on how bad the flores settlement is. they tried to say it, say it and say it. you shouldn t allow just anyone to view a spot with children. this has been policy, if you re coming to the location where there s children, we need to know who you are and we have to know background and we can t trust that you have an i.d. and if you do that you can get in as a member of congress just like president obama had the children at a military base as well. my final question is whether the president is creating more problems or making it harder to solve by the rhetoric he s using. this is how he s described people coming across the border just this week, senator. take a listen. they could be murderers and thieves. they endanger all of our children. millions of people flowing up and just overtaking the country. they re human traffickers, they re coyotes. we re getting some real beauties. we want people in our country based on merit. not based on a draw where other countries put their absolute worse in a bin and they start drawing people. do you believe that rhetoric demonizes immigrants and makes your job harder? it does, actually, but the challenge of it is there is a percentage where the president is absolutely correct on that. what s the percentage? the percentage is pretty small. it is. it is pretty small. to do two for two go ahead, sorry. i would prefer the president would say the folks are coming for check reasons they want to be flee into an area where they have greater economic opportunities. every family wants to be able to see that for their family, but there are also some individuals that are there. on average, every day dhs stops or interdicts ten people that are on the terror watch list trying to come into the country. so i have a real concern that we re demonizing law enforcement folks that really are trying to be able to do their job because there are very real threats, but the vast majority of individuals are coming for economic reasons and they re coming from central america and they re not fleeing to costa rica, belize or ecuador who have great asylum laws. they re coming to the united states because they want the economic opportunities and not just asylum and they re trying to come for economic gains and i don t blame them for that, but to tell you the truth, 1.1 million people a year become citizens legally and this can be done legally, but the challenge is for those individuals that s a much smaller number that are doing it illegally, how do you process that? senator langford, i m going to leave it there. thank you for coming on and sharing your views. much appreciate it. thank you. joining me from brunswick, maine, is independent. i want a perspective from the other side of the aisle. good to be with you, chuck. are we misnamed this? is this a refugee crisis more than it is a migrant or immigration crisis? think it is. i think that s exactly right. it s more of an asylum and refugee. it s important to make distinctions. these are almost entirely people coming from central america and not mexico, particularly honduras, el salvador and guatemala, and they re fleeing violence and that s one of the reasons that this deterrent may not work, if you re looking down the barrel of a gun in your home community, whatever your chances are to get to a free country, you re going to take it in order to save your family s life. so if that really is what we re talking about here and this is different from, very different from the waves of illegal immigrants coming across the border 15, 20 years ago, mostly from mexico, simply looking for jobs. mexican migration has diminished enormously. if it is if you believe it should be treated more as a refugee crisis. for instance, how we handled the cubans in the 50s and the 60s and vietnamese in the 70s. how has the approximately see changed does the government intervention, should it be different if it s a refugee crisis? well, yeah, because if you re crossing the border illegally with no claim of asylum or refugee status, then that s a crime and we have a process for deportation. people have people coming to claim asylum are not illegal immigrants and under the law they have a right to establish their claim of asylum that are in legitimate fear for their life and they re fleeing persecution in their country and that applies to people from other parts of the world, but you have that right and the problem is james langford mentioned this. we don t have enough judges and there s a bureaucratic backlog to get adjudicated. what do you do with the people in the interim and the administration made a terrible choice of separating children from their parents and now they re saying well, we ll keep them together and we ll keep them together in detention. i don t think that s a necessary choice either. there s a lot of data that there are alternatives to detention that can still ensure that people show up for their court hearing which by the way are a lot cheaper for the taxpayers. very quickly on this senator langford, he s leaving to fix the flores amendment and you heard a lot of ways to do that, defund it completely and make it something and the administration can t do it and extend it to 60 days rather than 20 days. what do you favor and i know a bill with senator feinstein, but there s no republican support, and i assume it s a bipartisan deal. are there things that you can support? well, there are a number of proposals kicking around and i was in a meeting in susan collins office and it was very interesting sitting next to dianne feinstein and ted cruz. ted cruz and dianne both have a bill. the opportunity to vote for a feinstein/cruz bill. they re talking about not separating and talking about some alternatives and this is where the discussion is, does it have to be detention? i don t like the defunding idea and that s essentially saying, you know, the courts, we re not going to listen to you. i don t think that makes sense, but i think some additional time may be true, but i want to talk about how do we deal with these people? the other thing, chuck, we ve got to talk about is what s going on in these countries and why is this surge coming toward us. right. in fact, before the program this morning james and i were talking about going to central america. he s been there a couple of times. right. and trying to figure out what can we do to stabilize those regimes so people don t feel they have to run for their lives to america. i m curious, considering what happened in 2014 when the obama administration was tackling essentially the same surge of folks coming from central america. the obama administration didn t exactly welcome those folks with open arms either. the goal was, while they didn t separate, the goal was to get them back to the home country as quickly as possible. was that a mistake in hindsight? i think they were overwhelmed. if you go back and read about that period, and i went with a couple of other senators to mcallen, texas, during that period to see how these kids were being treated. the difference between then and now, three years ago they were unaccompanied kids. what s happened this time is kids are coming with their families, with their parents and they re being separated and that s what i think caused this firestorm, but there clearly has to be a better way to deal with this, and i think there are alternatives to detention, more judges and more timely processing of these things because we re a nation of immigrants, number one, except for the african-americans who were brought here, against their will and the native american, but all the rest of us are immigrants and also asylum seekers. the pilgrims were escaping religious persecution. right. andrew sullivan argues this week, just give trump his wall. he used more colorful language than that and go get something for it if you re the democrats. give him his wall because maybe there will be more heart in the rest of these policies and the rest of this migrant crisis. are you there yet? give the president has wall and figure this out? ironically, chuck, we did that. mike grounds and i had an amendment and it was the one that got the most votes on the floor of the senate. we got 54 votes. it was in a sense daca for the wall, and the wall was fully funded. the democratic caucus voted, i think, 46 out of 48 member, and 49 members for it. that was a hard sell, but the white house itself torpedoed the bill. they threatened to veto and they sent out a scurrilous press release from dhs and we had the votes. we had probably 65, 67 votes. they killed it. they had the wall in their hand and they let it go because they wanted more and the question is they keep sort of raising the ante and saying you have to limit legal immigration. you ve got to change this. you ve got to change that and that s one of the problems is we never know what the goal line is. want to show you a movement growing on the democratic side of the aisle and a hash tag, abolish i.c.e. referring to the enforcement agency when it comes to immigration. listen to kamala harris said about the idea of abolishing i.c.e. i think there s no question that we have to critically re-examine i.c.e. and its role and the way it is being administered and we probably need to think about starting from scratch. what do you make of that? is i.c.e. the bigger problem here? i don t i don t know how you abolish an agency without abolishing the function and i think the function is necessary. as far as what she said about examining what they re doing, that s absolutely what we should do and it s our responsibility to provide oversight and ultimately there would have to be an agency. before i.c.e. there was ins and there was a way to enforce the immigration laws in the country, but taking a look at how they re doing it and how they re approaching it. the question we had we had a border patrol stop up here in maine a couple of weeks ago. is that constitutional? do we stop american citizens in the middle of a highway and ask for their papers? there are a lot of questions to be answered. i don t know if i say abolish. i don t think that makes a lot of sense, but i do think looking at it makes a hell of a lot of sense. senator angus king, independent senator from maine, thanks for coming on and sharing your views, sir. thanks, chuck. when we come back, more on what s behind the border crisis. you heard both senators refer to the issue in central america. nbc news chief foreign correspondent richard engel is back from el salvador, one of the countries where life is so desperate people are willing to risk everything, including child separation to get here. that s next. oh, you brought butch. yeah! (butch growls at man) he s looking at me right now, isn t he? yup. (butch barks at man) butch is like an old soul that just hates my guts. (laughs) (vo) you can never have too many faithful companions. that s why i got a subaru crosstrek. love is out there. find it in a subaru crosstrek. richard engel returned last night from a trip to el salvador where he reported why people are willing to risk this dangerous journey and family separation to come to the united states and richard joins me now from seaside, california, where we made him stop here to get on our show. richard, thanks very much. let me start with this. normally i m talking to you and you re in a war zone somewhere, maybe you re in syria, maybe you re in north africa or maybe somewhere in asia, but here you are in central america. does it feel like the war zones you cover when you cover the war? reporter: it felt very much like a war zone, a low-grade war zone and there were places in el salvador where you can t go, and where the police and government don t feel safe to go. we re talking about a population of 100,000 active gang members and when you have that many people with guns and when you have a government that doesn t feel in control of the capital city, then you re having a war zone dynamic. people we talked to said they re afraid to go out in the countryside. when they do they see gang members carrying their weapons openly. there are gang checkpoints stopping you, asking you where you re from and what affiliation you have and if they don t like your answers they will kill you and drop you in the street. we went to a prison and met very hard-core gang members and one of them bragged to us that he d killed 35 people just himself and when you have that number of dangerous people who feel that emboldened it is not surprising that people want to leave the country and seek different opportunities and don t want their children to get sucked into the gang life and have them become the next generation of killers or victims. in some ways you ve spent way too much time in syria for us at nbc. compare the story in el salvador. how much of that country are they actually governing and how much of it are the gangs in charge of this. is it like syria where you had parts of the country governed by certain entities? reporter: well, not just the 100,000 people or so who are active gang members, there are some estimates that you have to multiply that number by five or ten to get the real number of people who are actually affiliated with gangs, supported with gangs, make their lively hood with gangs and this is a small country, el salvador. we re only talking 6.5 million people. that is roughly one in ten people there is either a gang member or makes their livelihood from a gang member. we re talking about 10% of the population, just of the population living outside the law, and this is a population that is armed. so they are able to control and exert their will over a lot more of the percentage than that. so there are large parts of the country that are not fully under the government s control. i m curious, you spent a lot of times on the front lines covering the migrant crisis into southern europe. give me some similarities, differences between what you witnessed with this migrant crisis coming up from central america. so you were talking to a lot of your guests earlier. is this a refugee crisis from central america or a migrant crisis? usually they re always mixed together. you have people fleeing from war zones and people actively afraid for their lives and want more economic opportunities. but what i haven t seen before is this family separation. as i was there in central america, watching the people try to leave, watching them be deported back home i remembered covering this massive migration crisis that was in europe a few years ago, and we saw lots and lots of refugees and lots and lots of migrants, but we didn t see authorities deliberately separating people from families. they didn t see it as necessary and productive. i was in hun garry and hungary has most aggressive, hardline, anti-immigration crisis and people are coming into hungary, and i remember one image seared in my brain, they were on the bus and people on the bus started becoming hysterical. they were shouting and under guard and very agitated. what happened is one of the family members on the bus had gotten separated from their child so everybody on the bus started to scream. the bus stopped. they opened the windows and people on the ground lowered raised the child, raised the baby on to the bus so the family could stay together and the family drove off, the bus drove off. even in hungary that has one of the most anti-immigration policy in the world right now, they were stopping the busses and making sure the people could be reunited with their families because they didn t want to inflict any more trauma on to the people, so they could control the situation and not cause unnecessary agitation and stress. richard engel, you ve seen quite a bit of this in your travels around the world, richard. thanks for your reporting. much appreciated. before we go to break, a quick programming note. jacob soboroff, tonight he ll be reporting on the crisis on dateline sunday called the dividing line it airs at 7:00, 6:00 central. we ll be right back with the panel and donald trump s first very real re-tweet as president. (vo) new purely fancy feast filets. like nothing you, or she, has ever seen. filets of 100% real natural chicken or seafood. handcrafted, and served any way she wants. purely fancy feast filets. love is in the details. so allstate is giving us money back on our bill. well, that seems fair. we didn t use it. wish we got money back on gym memberships. get money back hilarious. with claim-free rewards. switching to allstate is worth it. at&t provides edge-to-edge intelligence, covering virtually every part of your manufacturing business. & so this won t happen. because you ve made sure this sensor and this machine are integrated. & she can talk to him, & yes. atta, boy. some people assign genders to machines. and you can be sure you won t have any problems. except for the daily theft of your danish. not cool! at&t provides edge to edge intelligence. it can do so much for your business, the list goes on and on. that s the power of &. & this shipment will be delivered. back now with the panel. stephen hayes, editor in chief of the weekly standard. heather mcgee, nbc news capitol hill, kasie hunt and erick eriksson. steve hayes, president trump had his first retreat and you could argue the first guardrail that the republican party signed on to to erect him and reverse himself. what does that mean? it was the public pressure. the president didn t do this easily and this is an ad hoc president leaving his staff and congressional republicans to scramble in his wake and try to make things right. if you think about the white house line on this, the line that the president s supporters took. they went from separating families was the right thing to do, to the separating families were terrible, but democrats made us do it, it s awful and only congress can fix it to the president s executive order has solved the problem and obviously there s inconsistency there. you re seeing the president scramble and he doesn t know what he thinks and this is a president with a variety of positions on this broad, immigration issue. remember he in 2012 criticized mitt romney for his self-deportation plan as maniacal, crazy and mean spirited and he s pushing a plan that i think we d all agree is more aggressive than mitt romney s. heather? i think this is what the president of the united states ace in the hole. he was very clear. my people love the family separation thing. you would think the president saying my people would mean all of us, but no. he s weaned on these negative images as immigrants of all kinds as criminals and gang members and he doubled down by saying holding that press conference by saying we have an epidemic of people being killed by undocumented immigrants when we know that immigrants, whether they re undocumented or not commit crimes at lower rates than native-born americans. this is a political strategy to divide americans to make us feel like there s a sense of panic and fear and actually think any time we use the word crisis to talk about border crossings that are at a 40-year low, we re actually feeding into that. frankly, there are things he s doing to the economy, threats to health care, tax handout to the very wealthy that are things that he wants to distract from and that s what s happening here. he made the case, it s good for me and good for the party and i thought i understand why he thinks it s good for him. it s been good for his political career. what do you make of his claim that it s good for the party for the midterms? this is the first time that i can remember some of his evangelical leaders speaking up and criticizing him which is significant when you ve had evangelicals who stood up with him through everything and criticizing him and having to walk back and having the president who is the best negotiator, walking this back himself and i don t think this is good for the party. he thinks there are 2 billion news cycles between now and november. this isn t going to anchor the party. kasie, this is the first time that i thought a subject that i think about this sunday is now the same subject, that i m questioning this sunday. that is a rare occasion and i think it tells you the potency of the issue. i m with you, chuck and i remember thinking the same thing last sunday as we were heading into the news week. you wonder is this the story that will be different and will carry through? you re absolutely right that this one did, and i also think it s the first time and erick mentioned the evangelical leaders and it s the first time congressional republicans looked at something the president did and said no way. how many times have we asked ourselves, charlottesville, the muslim ban, when will republican leaders stand up to the president? and the answer is when we saw the awful images of children being separated and there was not a person that i could find saying this is what we should be doing. no, yes, we have problems at the border and there were disagreements among republicans about thou to handle asylum claims and should we build the wall, but to a person, no one wanted to defend this? what s the bigger threat? how he s handling the issue of immigration or how he handles the cleanup of this. i want to bring up people who said this is his, quote, katrina. i want to put up a quote and george w. bush wrote about katrina. just as katrina was more than a hurricane, this is what president bush wrote, its impact was more than physical destruction, and it cast a cloud over my second term. it is possible, heather and steve that how they reunify or don t reunify becomes a competency issue and not a partisan issue. i would say maria has been president trump s katrina and i think this is another similar issue where there s just this callousness and particularly to the latino community in this country and in this part of the world, that shows that they really don t care and when a government doesn t care, you begin to erode the trust, and i think part of what s happened here is that we now have even with the executive order. we now have in every single state hundreds of thousands of people pledging to go to the border, to go to their state capitals on june 30th to rally. this has become a cultural flash point. i would just add to that, the main difference what you said about president trump is that president trump wants to exacerbate these decisions. president trump lamented those it regretted what it did. president trump wants to do this, but look, so do the democrats. it was a thoughtful, substantive conversation. by the way, they are in the 40-yard line of american politics. and the politics here, i think, one of the reasons you don t have solutions to the broader immigration problem is because it works politically for both parties and extremes of both parties. kamala harris talking about abolishing i.c.e., that s the solution where we ll abolish the bureaucracy? this is an agency, that s not the point. the point is, she s offering an extreme solution that doesn t actually solve any problem because somebody to build on heather s point here and i want to get casey in here, is this in the way that conserves will say abolish the irs which is sort of a ridiculous proposition and is this going to become that abolish the irs chant? i think it s becoming a litmus test for this issue in potentially a 2020 primary situation and if you think about kamala harris in particular, she has been very consistent, quite frankly, if you re an activist on immigration, she is one of your people. she took a vote in the senate and one of only three democrats that bucked the county on a compromise. she is to the i don t quite want to describe this as to the left. of the mainstream presidential on this issue. she is setting the bar for where that is and people, frankly, are responding and the event we went to cover and she went to visit a detention center where mothers were separated and they didn t organize a rally, but there were hundreds of people that showed up on the street and some with organizations and the aclu and others and they came to see her. it will be a fascinating debate if that percolates. you have angus king there and you will have the debate about i.c.e. in these primaries and let me take a quick break. when we come back, we ll change gears a bit and president trump said it s easy to win a trade war and there are losers in the united states and guess who most of them voted for? before we go to break, a word about someone we lost this week and charles krauthammer began a career as a psychologist and became political reknowned, and a diving accident at the age of 22 left him a quadriplegic. krauthammer was a neoconservative. in his tv appearances, he was tough and rigorous and never disagreeable. he appeared on meet the press six times and most recently he was on fox news the morning of election day with quite the far-sighted prediction of what a trump presidency might mean. the first thing he will do is he will irreversibly re-shape the party. this was the party of reagan, and the bush years were sort of an echo of the reagan years. reagan defined the contours of the party. trump will do that and it will be changed, particularly the most obvious issues are going to be immigration and trade. this will be a it will be a populist party. talk about being prescient. charles krauthammer was 68. possibilities than ever before. and american express has your back every step of the way- whether it s the comfort of knowing help is just a call away with global assist. or getting financing to fund your business. no one has your back like american express. so where ever you go. we re right there with you. the powerful backing of american express. don t do business without it. don t live life without it. - anncr: as you grow older, -your brain naturally begins to change which may cause trouble with recall. - learning from him is great. when i can keep up! - anncr: thankfully, prevagen helps your brain and improves memory. - dad s got all the answers. - anncr: prevagen is now the number-one-selling brain health supplement in drug stores nationwide. - she outsmarts me every single time. - checkmate! you wanna play again?

ask your hep c specialist about harvoni. low, and in iowa, for example, the des moines register estimates the new tariffs could cost soybean farmers in the state, and the political consequences could be significant for the president s part especially going into the mid-terms this november. these are the top ten soy-producing states in the united states. eight of them voted for donald trump in 2016 and guess what? he came really close and won more, minnesota. a whopping 95%. the repercussions of president trump s trade policies are hurting the very people who supported him the most. the top soybean states all have either a governor s race, senate race or both this year. minnesota has two senate seats up. these red or trending red places could very well turn back into toss-ups or even go blue after november. of course, there are lots of reasons folks in these states support donald trump, and some like the tough talk, it has a lot of front, steel, aluminum and cars are on the horizon. when we re seeing now in the midwest may only be the beginning. when we come back, endgame and how our political culture wars, whatever you want to call them these days just got a lot nastier. back now with endgame. all right, we had a couple of interesting former republicans, i guess, calling for democrats to take control of house. michael bloomberg, he s going to support flipping the house. he says republicans in congress have had almost two years to prove they can govern responsibly and they failed and it s critical we elect people who lead in ways this congress don t. i forgot. chevy also won a j.d. power dependability award for its light-duty truck the chevy silverado. oh, and since the chevy equinox and traverse also won chevy is the only brand to earn the j.d. power dependability award across cars, trucks and suvs-three years in a row. phew. third time s the charm. that s confident. but it s not kayak confident. kayak searches hundreds of travel and airline sites to find the best flight for me. so i m more than confident. how s your family? kayak. search one and done. who s already won three cars, two motorcycles, a boat, and an r.v. i would not want to pay that insurance bill. [ ding ] -oh, i have progressive, so i just bundled everything with my home insurance. saved me a ton of money. -love you, gary! -you don t have to buzz in. it s not a question, gary. on march 1, 1810 [ ding ] -frédéric chopin. -collapsing in 226 [ ding ] -the colossus of rhodes. -[ sighs ] louise dustmann [ ding ] -brahms lullaby, or wiegenlied. -when will it end? [ ding ] -not today, ron. back now with endgame. al back now with end game. all right. we had a couple of interesting former republicans, i guess, calling for democrats to take control of house. first you had michael bloomberg. he s going to support flipping the house. he says republicans in congress have had two years they could govern responsibly. they failed. as we approach the 2018 mid terms it is critical wee elect people would can lead in ways this congress won t. you can argue whether bloomberg was a republican before, switched to democrat. i ll take your point. how about george will? the republican caucus must be substantially reduced so substantially their remnants reduced to minorities will be stripped of the article 1 constitutional powers. a legislature whose unexercised muscles have atrophied because of people like them. mr. eriksson, what do you make of this? i disagree with my friend george will. i agree congress has let their muscles atrophy in legtsing congress. it is a class of pundits as opposed to a class of legislators. it is a real problem on both sides of the aisle where both sides want the issue to campaign on. i do think there is a danger for democrats, though, in that typically in the midterms you depend on an incumbent party that doesn t turnout. and the progressive culture war, the immigration issues and whatnot, are firing up the republican base. kasie? you know, one risk here that i do think when i read george will s comment about difficuming these majorities, congress doesn t realize if they get really close that they don t actually if democrats don t actually win the house, you re going to be left with the narrow est of republican majorities and that s going to hand all of the power to the far-right of the conference. so, if republicans, if never trump republicans want democrats to win the house, they better get their acts together and work as hard as they can otherwise the consequence are going to be worse. embrace your new progressive friend george will. you know, listen, i have been asking for republicans to put country over party since, since trump walked down those stairs. so i absolutely believe that this is the beginning of the change and rebirth of the republican party which is going to be necessary. it s too far to the fringe. we have the fringe in the white house and this country is not going to be able to be a bipartisan country in the republicans continue to have this identity. eight steve, i would say you re in the middle of this fight inside the movement. i won t call it your party, but the conservative movement right. one wing versus this trump wing. it s not my party. there is no question that what you re seeing is an ideological scramble. george will is making a long-term argument. most members of congress is living the short term. that s the big challenge. very diplomatic, by the way. the culture wars reared their ugly head this weekend. we had sarah sanders get kicked out of a restaurant by the owner because she worked for president trump. you had mike huckabee use pretty disgusting sort of tweet, picture here to describe nancy pelosi and her campaign committee using gang members on that. eric eriksson, you were critical of all of it. of all of it. and interestingly, you were almost apologetic. your younger self might have participated in some of this. yeah. is this the new normal? is this going to get even ugly er? i think it is going to get uglier. james hodge kin is more of an anomaly than inflection point. if both sides don t rein it in, no, you started it, this happened, this happened. i had trump supporters show up on my front porch to threaten my family. you have the secretary of homeland security progressive activists show up at her house to protest her. you have people getting thrown out of restaurants. if we can t agree to disagree and let each other be and nielgter side wants to do that, it becomes a problem. we have as religion in the country fades and society becomes more secular, people are finding their salvation in their morals and politics and that s a bad thing. i actually think there is a big difference between one of the most powerful people in the world, sarah sandehuckabee sand using her government platform to claim victim status. she is distracting from that and the way the policy is victimizing the least powerful people on the planet, refugee children. there is a difference between being discriminated against for who you are and being judged for what you do. and that s what we saw. chuck, i think one thing, too, here is people the tenor of the debate on whether or not there are people across the other side of the aisle who you might be able to work with has completely fallen apart. i feel like even you see it a lot on capitol hill. you used to be there were these great alliances and friendships. ted kennedy, al warner. people worked together and you saw that reflected in voters as well. voters were willing to consider voting for somebody else. the tribalism of this, i just fail to see if you think that just because you re a member of the other party that there is no circumstance under which you can work with that person is scary. there is power in persuasion. whatever happened to the golden rule, if everybody just did golden rule with the w we might be in a tiny bit better place. that s all for today. thanks for watching. we re going to continue this conversation. for now we ll be back next week because if it s sunday it s meet the press. this is a story about mail and packages. and it s also a story about people. people who rely on us every day to deliver their dreams they re handing us more than mail they re handing us their business and while we make more e-commerce deliveries to homes than anyone else in the country, we never forget. that your business is our business the united states postal service. priority: you (honking) when your craving strikes, you need your wing nut.

now on bbc news, formerfootballer rio ferdinand is on a mission to educate parents about the gaming habits of their children, in click. this week. kitchen hacks go to pot. football scores, and the flippable foldable phone. flat or bended? last week, youtube revealed for the first time just how much cash it s making parent company google. that was $15,000,000,000 last year. announcing its results for the first time seems like a right of passage the service has matured, grown up and is standing on its own to feed. i visited their london office to find out how it has come of age. kevin, youtube used to be the place where video went viral, but now it seems a lot of that happens on facebook or tiktok. how do you think things have changed? the internet is bigger. it is much easier to make a beautiful video now than it was ten years ago. when you look at now what the most popular videos on youtube are, they are not viral hit videos, but coming from channels producing lots of content regularly and that have large audiences. i think youtube has moved from this unintentional kind of quick video thing which we all associate with the early years of youtube to this sort of new world in which you have creators who have businesses and build audiences. few could have predicted some of the most successful genres. tell me about asmr. it is short for autonomous sensory meridian response. these are whispered videos where people whisper or do things quietly to make audiences react. quietly to make audiences feel relaxed. whispering: what sort of things might they do? they might whisper, or cook, or rub things on the microphone. it is a very unusual form of entertainment. but it is not designed necessarily to make you laugh or do the things that we think about for traditional entertainment. it is designed to help you relax or calm down. another big trend is recipes. making something the old fashioned way can be time consuming and fiddly. so some of the videos online, particularly many have gone viral, make it look very simple. but is it always possible to do what you are watching? well, chris fox has been finding out. you ve probably been seeing food hacks like these online before top tricks for tasty treats but are they too good to be true? millions of videos like this have turned up on youtube and facebook, but do the all the tips and recipes work, or will theyjust waste your time and ingredients? here is a milk carton flan from the lifestyle channel blossom. this video s had 17 million views. you put the ingredients in the carton, microwave it, cool it, and out pops a perfect carton flan. now, i followed this video step by step. i ve used the exact same quantities. now, the first problem came when i tried to put this in the microwave, because the milk carton was too tall, it wouldn t fit. and that got me thinking, well, how did they fit their milk carton full of ingredients in the microwave? and it looks like they didn t, because if you rewatch the video, you ll see that they actually just cut the bottom of the milk carton off. not to be deterred, i put the mixture into a gym shaker and followed the rest of the video, putting it in the microwave to boilfor ten minutes. and did i get a flan at the end of it? no, i did not. next up, gummy bear hacks: easy diy dessert recipes for the weekend, recipes from so yummy. 3.2 million views. in this video, melting gummy bears turns them into jelly. here s me copying what i saw in the video. it turns out gummy bears are actually very thick and gloopy when they are melted, not runny like liquid jelly. will my spoon go into the jelly just as effortlessly as in the so yummy video? well, no it will not. because, as you might expect, this gummy mixture at the bottom of the glass is rock solid. let s have one more. this is from 5 minute crafts. if you ve run out of popcorn, why notjust shove an ear of corn in the microwave to make some popcorn? now, i don t need to tell you that if you put an ear of fresh corn into the microwave it will not come out as popcorn but will just be hot corn. but i was willing to be proved wrong, so i tried it out in the name of science. when it comes out, it is warmer than before! i m not the only one who has been intrigued by this ann reardon is a food scientist and runs a cookery channel on youtube, and she s been investigating, too. it s the fake news of the cooking work it s faked baking. the reason why it works is that it s more clickable, and clickbait content is currently working on the youtube algorithm. and apparently working on facebook, too. ann s been trying a lot of these recipes on her youtube channel, too. there s one on so yummy where they make cake icing out of strawberry ice cream. now, ann tried it, and it didn t work. i ve also tried it, and it doesn t work. having a food science degree, i know what properties different things have and whether that will work or not. it s not possible to whip up ice cream, because the fat content is not high enough. even if you get the most luxurious ice cream you will get, it will not whip and make frosting. that s an example of the faked ones, but there are now some which are going to dangerous territory as well. one on 5 minute crafts they have one when they put a strawberry in bleach to make it white. if a child was to watch that and do it, they could consume a lot of bleach, which is obviously not good for them. there is another video where molten caramel is put over a spinning whisk to make a sort of birds nest decoration to put on top of a dessert. molten caramel is hot like, it s hotter than boiling water. so we made a box and put plastic wrap in front of it. the hot caramel melted right through it. while we re here, those melted caramel cake decorations they show, that s not the best way to make those, either. it takes a long time to melt one sweet, and usually theyjust burn and stick to the pan. the professional and just as easy way, according to ann, is to put your sweets in a blender, put a thin layer of that on greaseproof paper and put it in the oven forjust a few minutes. that s an easy way to make caramel cake decorations that you can try at home. that was chris, and chris is here now. you didn t manage to bring me lunch, though, did you? i should have saved you some of my sweaty egg flan! i m not sure it looked that appetising! what did the companies have to say? 5 minute crafts, which made the popcorn video that didn t pop, they didn t reply to my email. and first media, which runs the so yummy and blossom channel, well, they invited me to their studios in la to prove that the recipes work, but they said i couldn t film them doing it. they told me they only put recipes in the videos that do work, although i suspect not as shown in the video because we tried it and they didn t work, and the food scientist, ann, she said some of the recipes, there s no way they would work, even if you followed the instructions and used the most luxurious ingredients. so why are people so busy sharing these videos? i think they are obviously very visual, they are nicely produced. companies would say that the purpose of this is entertainment, they give you cooking ideas and inspiration. and, crucially, most of the people who watch these videos aren t actually going to actually try these recipes, theyjust like the visuals. clearly. and this is what happened when i asked kevin at youtube about this. viewers seem to love these videos and share them a lot, but they re clearly not actually trying to make the food. i think for a lot of life hack videos, or kitchen hack videos, it s not about trying to take that fact or hack and use it in your life, it s just oddly satisfying to see it play out in front of you. it s just another form of entertainment. does it not matter? is truth that thing of past? truth is not a thing of the past, but i think that there is some contexts in which pure accuracy, perhaps, is not always paramount. keeping up with the pace of technological change can be difficult at the best of times particularly for parents, who want to be able to keep track of what their children are doing, how much screen time they re having, whether all the content is appropriate. and never has this been more true than when it comes to video games. so mark cieslak has been looking at this very problem with a spot of help from one of the best known faces in football. father of three and ex manchester united and england footballer rio ferdinand is fronting a campaign to encourage parents to learn about the parental controls they can use in their children s video games. i was someone who s been fairly involved in gaming throughout my adult life, and my children play, and we thought we ve had a good balance in our house. you get in, you do your school work, you do your chores about the house, you have a balance between the gaming and being outside. but having an understanding of what your children are actually doing, that s always so invaluable to me to understand what i can actually do in terms of actually controlling what type of games that they re on. do you think parents have to take more responsibility as far as video games and their children are concerned? you have to take a key interest, like you take a key interest in your child s school life, take an interest in their game life because it s an integral part of their life nowadays like it or not. the get smart about play campaign is the work of the uk games industry trade body. it provides online guides about parental controls on consoles and computers, controls which can limit play time and prevent children spending real world money on virtual items. well, we know that more than half of parents in the uk in particular in their care are spending playing games and on screens in general. this is part of an overall society digital literacy agenda. you know, so, really understanding boundaries, understanding how to protect yourself, understanding how to protect your privacy, it s part of a wider thing in society that i think we need to really pay attention to. research suggests that up to 99% of children in the uk aged between eight and 15 play video games regularly. compare this to research carried out by the nspcc which found only i9% of parents with children between aged of five and 15 actually use parental controls on devices which connect to the internet. but some parents think that the games industry should bear a greater response ability. a greater responsibility. are they trying to empower parents, or are they passing the buck? they have a purpose and a responsibility to actually protect the mental well being of our children. that is part of their role as i see it. every company that is producing content for our children has to take on that responsibility. features in games like loot boxes, randomised in game virtual items which can be bought with real world cash, have been compared to gambling, and have led to increased scrutiny of the industry. so does it need to clean up its act? we are businesses at the end of the day, and these parental controls and family are important, because you can turn of in game spending. that s why the conversation is really important, so it is a shared responsibility. while learning about parental controls improves digital literacy, perhaps some parents who play video games with their children might enjoy the experience as well. hello and welcome to the week in tech. it was a week that google started its appeal against a £2 billion fine by the european commission. it s alleged the company abused its power by of favouring its own shopping comparison service over others. the world s largest mobile show, mobile world congress, has been cancelled over coronavirus concerns. the decision comes after high profile companies, including nokia, lg, and vodafone pulled out of the event. and speaking of the coronavirus, in times square in new york, a robot has been providing information to curious passers by about the virus. us and german intelligence services were outed for spying on governments through the control of a swiss encryption firm. from the cold war era up to the 20005, crypto ag supplied encoding devices which harvested secrets from countries including iran, india and pakistan. the first human clinical controls of a blood drawing robot have started this week. researchers at rutgers university found that it performed as well or better than human clinicians. and, finally, some people are heavy handed, i know i am, but now there s a robotic hand they can do the heavy lifting as well as have a delicate touch. it is capable of handling various objects and tools, like an egg, and playing the piano. it is expected these hands will be used in industrial sites, as well as everyday life. this week saw samsung s unpacked event. yes, it s a phone launch time again. here i have the samsung galaxy z flip. now, whether you find this appealing or not, i have to say that on click, we ve been to a fair few phone launches and it s quite refreshing to find one that doesn tjust look like a rectangle. this is samsung s second foldable phone and is a more compact offering than the first, even though its ultra thin foldable glass opens up to a 6.7 inch screen. and on the front here you have a display where it can give you all your notifications, when you get phone calls or text messages, they ll pop up there and there s a camera so you can take selfies without even opening the device. but once you do open it, well, some apps are optimised to be able to provide you with a viewing zone and an interaction zone. it wasn t long ago that the motorola razr was announced and one of the criticisms that that s received is that the line in the middle where the phone actually folds is a bit too prominent. now, how much that crease would bother me if this was my regular phone, i don t know. i can see a line there but it is a folding phone, so i don t really know what you d expect. oh, and it would set you back £1,300, by the way! here i have the samsung galaxy s20 ultra. now, samsung say the main reason people upgrade their phones is to get a better camera and that s definitely the focus here. in fact, it has up to 100 times zoom. if you take a look behind me, there are two small figurines up there. i m going to try taking a photograph of them using this device, zooming in and seeing how clear it s going to be. the camera has io times optical zoom and beyond that moves into digital zoom. now, once you re in the realms of using the 100 times, the camera engages al to clean up the image as well. ok, it s definitely zoomed in but the image is very shaky, so i think you d really struggle to do this holding onto the phone if on a tripod it still looks like this, but you can see more, you can get a clearer image of what you re looking. the question is how much use is that photo? you certainly wouldn t want something that looked like that on your mantelpiece, would you? this shot has been taken using the a8mp camera and the a! has helped make a clear shot. let s compare that to this image taken using the 108mp camera and then after the photo was taken the picture was zoomed in on. that one is sort of clear in a way. this one looks more like a work of art. over the past few years, rwanda s become a hub for technology in sub saharan africa. jane copestake has been to look at a unique project hoping to bring electricity to the whole country and possibly avert disaster. lake kivu in rwanda is one of east africa s great lakes. the beautiful landscape is attracting tourists for kayaking and fishing with hopes of generating a lot of revenue for the country, but something even more valuable is hidden deep within this lake. we re going iakm offshore to see the kiquatt project, it s where they re extracting methane gas from below the surface of the lake. it s the only project like it in the world. this barge took seven years to construct and lies on the lake s border with the democratic republic of the congo. the engineers here work 2a hours a day in 12 hour shifts, monitoring the conditions of the lake. kivu is highly saturated with gases, including methane and carbon dioxide from millions of years of decomposition and volcanic activity. these gases are kept under pressure at significant depths. the lake is 480m deep. however, any disturbance to the lake from seismic activity or a lava flow could result in the gases leaking out. kivu is one of only three known lakes in the world where the specific conditions for this catastrophic event could occur. they are known as the killer lakes. ini986, a similarlake, lake nyos in cameroon, suffered a carbon dioxide leak. the resulting gas cloud killed over 1,700 people in nearby villages, and all other living creatures in its path. if the gases in lake kivu escaped, it could have even more deadly consequences it s over 1,700 times bigger than lake nyos and over 2 million people live around it. in lake kivu, there s a lot of concentration here, which, of course, is far more than what we have in lake nyos, so this is why it s very important to embark on such a project to reduce the content of the gas on the lakebed. there are 300 billion cubic metres of carbon dioxide and 60 billion cubic metres of methane in the lake. safely extracting the methane will help generate electricity for rwanda, something it desperately needs. this project is contributing about 30% to the need of the country. 30%, that s impressive. so that 30% wasn t there before you started? which was not there before, exactly. large pipes below the barge bring in the gas saturated water. this water is forced into a separator. at a certain depth, the gas starts to separate from the water. the phenomena there is one we would liken to opening a bottle of champagne. when you re allowing the water to be siphoned upwards, then it s also boosted by the lake pressure itself and it s pushing the water upwards. water with a mixture of carbon dioxide, methane and hydrogen sulphide is sent to the barge s wash towers and cleaned. the carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulphide are removed. the de gassed water is returned to the lake, and methane is delivered by a suspended pipeline to the shore based power plant for electrical generation. this is the definition of innovation, building the project right from the design stage up until construction and now into operation. currently, 51% of rwandans have access to electricity. by 2024, the government hopes that will rise to 100%. the kiquatt project plans to deploy three additional barges here to help the country reach this ambitious target. now, over the past few weeks, we ve been showing you some of the films nominated in the oscars best visual effects category, but we have saved the best for last, and this week we have sam mendes epic first world war drama 1917 in store for you. this was the one that took the oscar, and if you haven t seen it yet, what is pretty remarkable is the way that the film is supposed to look like one continuous shot. general erinmore: your orders are to deliver a message calling off tomorrow morning s attack. if you fail, it will be a massacre. what sam s always wanted to do is to have the idea that the audience be in, sort of, a part of the story. instead of being in a window to the world of something, it gives the idea that the audience is travelling and going along with the story as an extra character, should we say. that in itself brings in some really difficult challenges. 91% of that film has a visual effect in it, from digital doubles or environment extensions, atmospherics. we put in houses or trees or bushes or canals, and it works at this angle, and the camera carries on and two minutes later, we re looking at the reverse angle, something like that, and aesthetically it doesn t work, so we had a lot of logistical, sort of, issues to work out. what we talked about really was feeling. it s a strange word to use because obviously with visual effects. to help quantify it is we break it down into shots and this gets digitally stitched together, but actually it s more about a feeling of a sequence or a beat. go, go, go! no man s land is a really interesting sequence, because obviously that sets the tone for the journey. this was all shot in england. one of our primary ideas or principles was to make sure that it looked like the north of france. mpc created cg horses, we did environment extensions, fake barbed wire, added a huge amount of craters. sam had this vision for the end seen. three, two, one, go, go! our work is really to tidy up and emphasise what had already gone on, because a lot of it was all in camera once again, sam had this vision for the end scene. three, two, one, go, go! our work is really to tidy up and emphasise what had already gone on, because a lot of it was all in camera once again, we were only adding a little bit to the story but we weren t dramatically changing anything from battle apart from adding a few more dangerous, sort of, explosions that were closer to our heroes, and obviously the 500 extras who were on the set at that point. we were really adding a little bit more danger and making sure that from a cinematic point of view, it was visually a beautiful scene for them. colonel mackenzie: there is only one way this ends. dramatic engine noise well, that s it for this week s show. well, that s it for this week s show. you can keep track of the team throughout the week on instagram, facebook, youtube and twitter @bbcclick. thanks for watching. storm dennis is arriving. the winds have been picking up, the rain has been moving in as well and we will find reverent levels rising too. there is the storm heading between scotla nd there is the storm heading between scotland and iceland, deepening rapidly which is why the winds have been strengthening and the cloud has been strengthening and the cloud has been bringing outbreaks of rain. the rain may well have a greater impact. these are the amber rain warnings from the met office covering hail is, we lose the one in southern scotla nd is, we lose the one in southern scotland tomorrow as the wetter weather moves south and we pick up a number of rain running for the downs in the south east with the heaviest rain likely to be over mid and south wales in the hills. a lot of rain already, rain pretty much covering the whole of the uk, not as wet for the whole of the uk, not as wet for the eastern side of england but it will be windy everywhere. widely, 50 01’ will be windy everywhere. widely, 50 or 60 mph are around the course. should be squally and sundry towards the end of the day. temperatures in double figures. we will find after that thundery downpour in scotland and northern ireland, showers following overnight as the rain falls, mainly england and wales, again heavy rain over the west threatening further flooding. turns colder in scotland and northern ireland with showers, wintry over the hills but very mild, exceptionally across much of england and wales where it is wet and windy start to tomorrow. at rain band edges towards the south east and things may come down for a little bit but lots of showers packing in from the north west, wintry over the high ground in scotland. the winds during the day probably using up a touch for england and wales, not as windy but strong winds well push back into scotland and northern ireland. those temperatures will push away, introducing colder air, scotla nd push away, introducing colder air, scotland and northern ireland, only six or 7 degrees. here, as we get the central storm dennis getting closer during sunday evening on sunday night, we may well find a squeeze in the winds, gusting 70 or 80 miles per. as we move into monday itself, the storm tending to head away, some strong 01’ itself, the storm tending to head away, some strong or gale force south westerly winds, bringing sunshine and showers, may some builds of sunshine, that will continue to tuesday. this is bbc news. the headlines at 4: heavy rain and strong winds are battering parts of the uk as storm dennis arrives the army has been deployed in west yorkshire. dozens of flood warnings are in place across the uk forecasters say a months worth of rain could fall in some places. the storm is scuppering travel plans for many hundreds of flights have been cancelled and trains services are disrupted. france records the first death from coronavirus in europe, as beijing orders everyone returning to that city from holidays to go into quarantine for 1h days or risk punishment. from today, companies which provide phone, broadband and pay tv services will have to alert customers when their contracts are coming to an end.
understand. now, we ll show you the secret codes on your bills and how to find out exactly what they mean plus, struck by lightning while standing in a supermarket checkout line. it hit right through like the top of my head, down my spine. shepard: tonight, a woman gets the shock of a lifetime. but first from fox this wednesday night. he is accused of carrying out a terrorist attack in boston, killing and injuring hundreds of innocent people. and now the suspected marathon bomber dzhokhar tsarnaev is on the cover of rolling stone. a magazine that usually features rock stars and cultural icons. the caption on rolling cone s cover refers to tsarnaev as a promising popular student who became a monster. despite that folks in boston and beyond say they are furious. it s despicable. he now is going to be the poster boy for all young kids who read rolling stone magazine. the editor says it s because of their young readers that they made this decision. they released a statement that reads in part: the fact that dzhokhar tsarnaev is young and in the same age group as many of our readers makes it it all the more important for us to examine the complexities of this issue and gain a more complete understanding of how a tragedy like this happens. the editors say their hearts go out to the boston marathon victims. some stores are promising they won t carry this magazine and some critics are calling for boycotts. in boston, a city where the scars with still fresh from that awful day in april, tears for the victims are turning to cries for anger. trace gallagher is on fox top story live for us this evening. an officer wounded in a shootout with the boston bombers is among those now criticizing the cover. yeah, the officer, shep, is richard donahue. he works for the boston metro transit system. he was shot and wounded in the leg during that shootout and he lost a lot of blood, spent two months in the hospital, still walks with crutches as you see and has not yet returned to work. he was asked for a statement about the rolling stone cover. he responded by saying, quoting here, my family and i were personally affected by these individuals actions. i cannot and do not condone the cover of the magazine, which is thoughtless at best. however, i appreciate our country s protection of free speech afforded to us by the constitution. i am confident that our boston strong community will remain intrepid and unshaken by the cover of this magazine. others in boston were not quite as diplomatic. listen. i think that s horrible that he is being publicized like that. he shouldn t be. that s horrible. that s for people who are in the public eye and doing good things. he didn t do a very good thing, did he? yeah. the mayor of boston put it even more bluntly saying this is nothing more than disgraceful. shep? shepard: the list of stores that representatives say don t plan to carry this issue seem to be growing. yeah. after getting reaction from its customers, walgreen s, the drugstore chain pulled it off its shelves for next month as did cvs and we learned that rite aid also pulled it off. as a company with deep roots in new england and strong presence in boston, we believe this is the right decision out of respect for the victims of the attack and their loved ones. we have also learned the stop and shop grocery chain has pulled the magazine as has the food stores. today the ceo was on your world. one of our stores is actually located between the two blast sites. so we have employees that were fortunately not hurt but certainly affected and we have a lot of customers that will carry scars with them for a long time. you know, some would argue that this is really about censorship, not at all. this is about felipe. it s about felipe with the first responders and the people affected by this tragic event. we should note that all of the stores will go back to selling rolling stone magazine come this september issue. shep? shepard: trace, many of our viewers know rolling stone is no stranger to controversy. one of the most recent problems happened just a few years ago when the magazine published an article on general stanley mcchrystal while he was the top commander in the war in afghanistan. that article depicted general mcchrystal mocking president obama and members of his administration and general mcchrystal resigned less than two days later. four of the six jurors who found george zimmerman not guilty of murdering trayvon martin say they are not on board with the first public comments from another juror. remember, just two days after the verdict came in, that juror known to us as b-37 gave gave her thoughts to cnn s anderson cooper. she says she believed zimmerman s heart was in the right place until things just went terribly wrong. well, now four other jurors have put out a statement, part of it reads: the opinions of juror b-37 expressed on the anderson cooper show were her own and not in any way representative of the jurors listed below. of course, there were six jurors in total. so far no response from juror b-29. an hispanic mother of 8. today the sheriff s office revealed that even though the six women were sequestered. family and friends could still visit them on weekends as long as they did case. the jury took supervised trips to the mall, a bowling alley, fourth of july restaurants, including outback steak house. jonathan serrie is live naacp convention in orlando where this case took center stage. it seems like this case took a toll on these jurors? tonight the seminole county sheriff s office released estimates on how much money it spent housing, feeding and entertaining the jurors while they were sequestered over the course of this trial. $33,000 is the estimate. and while their physical needs were met, the trial itself was an ordeal, according to that written statement by the four jurors. they write: quote: serving on this jury has been a highly emotional and physically draining experience for each of us. the death of a teenager weighed heavily on our hearts but in the end, we did what the law required us to do. shepard: more big names, jonathan, are weighing in on the verdict. that s right. hillary rodham clinton expressing sympathy authority family of trayvon martin. stevie wonder saying he won t perform in the sunshine state until florida resindz its stand your ground law here at the naacp convention civil rights, heavy weights from reverend jesse jackson, martin luther king iii call for the law s repeal. holder suggested stand your ground may escalate confrontation. today the white house made clear to reporters the president feels the debate should be held at the state level. it s a component of what we are saying now about actions that states could take to look at the laws on their books and evaluate them against the standard, which is are these laws improving or making worse the situation with regards to gun violence? and the nra weighed in on all of this saying that self-defense is not a concept but a basic human right. shep? shepard: jonathan serrie in orlando. jonathan, a live look near where you are in orlando where police estimate hundreds of people plan to attend what they re calling a march against gun violence. and for a second day today, dozens of protesters holding a sit-in at the office of florida s governor rick scott in the capital of tallahassee. they say they plan to stay until the governor calls a special session to reevaluate the stand your ground law there were more rallies across southern california as well. these were largely peaceful, compared to it a few of the violent confrontations between activists and police that happened on monday night: and today a guilty verdict in a different trial. one that has well a few things in common with the zimmerman case. a jury in milwaukee today convicted 76-year-old john spooner of killing an unarmed black teenager. a 13-year-old whom the gunman suspected of stealing his guns. the boy was simply taking out the trash when the killer gunned him down. prosecutors showed the jury surveillance video of that shooting. and now the trial shifts to a second phase in which the defense is to try to prove that the shooter was mentally ill at the time. the gunman s attorney says his client didn t really mean to kill the boy. the office of the top lawyer in the irs took part in targeting tea party groups applying for tax exempt status. that s what a former irs official told congressional investigators according to house republicans. there is no word the lawyer himself knew about the targeting. the chief counsel is one of two irs officials the president appoints. now house republicans are demanding more documents from the agency, including white house emails. democrats say there is no evidence the white house took part in the targeting. they are accusing republicans of cherry picking the information they release. mike emanuel is on capitol hill for us tonight. hello, mike. that war of words could lead to it a huge fight tomorrow. house oversight chairman darrell issa and top democrat on the committee elijah cummings continue their very public spat over this irs investigation and they have another hearing tomorrow. as for the cherry picking information charge, here is issa s response. we think we have interpreted fairly and we believe tomorrow s hearings are going to show that people who actually had these applications and who worked up and down the chain make it very clear this was not a cincinnati decision. it wasn t just not just a washington decision. there was also congressional hearing today looking into whether small businesses received extra scrutiny from the irs. the acting commissioner told lawmakers there is no evidence of that but says the irs is still reviewing its procedures. now, obviously, we have a lot of clean up to do and fixes to do in that area. that also, as part of a check and balances, has led to us now revealing all of the various procedures that i have just outlined. we are now doing special, additional reviews to make sure that there is fairness in the entire life cycle. the top democrat on the small business committee then offered this suggestion. it is my hope we can move past the substance that the irs politically target certain small firms ion tonstead have a ensure small businesses are not unfairly harmed by [inaudible] auditing. perhaps the end of the small business aspect but no signs the irs investigation is anywhere close to ending. shep? shepard: mike, the acting commissioner says the irs has documents that show it also targeted progressive groups. but the inspector general is refusing to turn over those documents to congress because of privacy concerns. the inspector general is set to testify at tomorrow s hearing. well, days after the crash of asiana airlines flight 214 in san francisco, the airline announced plans to sue a television station. after that station aired offensive and incorrect names for the pilot. now the carrier is dropping that lawsuit. we will show you why. plus, the new tool that one doctor says can quickly detect cancer without sending any samples to a lab. the details on how it works and what it could mean for patients. coming up from the journalists of fox news on this wednesday fox report. cialis tadalafil for daily use helps you be ready anytime the moment s right. you cabe more confident in your ability to be ready. and the same cialis is the only daily ed tablet approved to treat ed and symptoms of bph like needing to go frequently or urgently. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medications, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sexual activity. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, as this may cause unsafe drop in blood pressure. do not drink alcohol in excess with cialis. side effects may include headache, upset stomach, delayed backache or muscle ache. to avoid long-term injury, seek immedte medical hel for an erection lasting more than 4 hours. if you have any sudden decrease or loss in hearing or vision, or if you have any allergic reactions such as rash, hives, swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, or difficulty breathing or swallowing, stop taking cialis and get medical help right away. ask your doctor about cialis for daily use and a 30-tablet free trial. you re too perfect. even the inside of your dishwasher sparkles. ok, so i m the bad guy for being clean?

there are a lot of them, duplicate billing, billing for services you never received. charges for work that was never executed. you name it, they come up with ways to do that. they will deny bills if you don t have the right address for your ensurer on them. we saw one of those tonight on my show. shepard: what you can do if you are a victim of this and it sounds like a lot of people are. a lot of people are, 80%. read that bill. it can be tough. the devil is in the details. what you look for is what is called the cpt coding. this is really technical. five digits explain every kind of service, test, operation everything you can possibly get. these codes are maintained by the american medical association. you can go to their web site to detoday the codes. make sure those codes on your statement match what your insurer, what your provider says that they gave you. you want those two things to match make sure this is something you got. shepard: a little work can save you some money. thank you. one of five americans under the age of 65 will struggle with his or her medical bills this year. that s according to a recent nerd wallet health study which also finds three of five personal bankruptcies will be due to medical bills. a doctor in the united kingdom claims his new invention can instantly detect cancer. he calls it a smart knife, normally surgeons use knives that heat tissue as they cut burning it to stop the bleeding as you go as you can see here. that doctor says he hooks up the knife to a machine that analyzes the smoke from the burned tissue and compares it to various smoke signatures of cancerous and noncancerous tissues. that sounds very complicated but the doctor says it really isn t. if the machine reads green, the surrounding tissue is healthy. if it reads red, it s cancerous are. surgeons currently have to send tissue samples to labs and then wait for results, sometimes for a long time. price tag for this smart knife, nearly $400,000. but scientists say it would likely drop if it catches on. 366 marathons in 365 days. imagine it. a mother of two did exactly that. three years after doctors diagnosed her with multiple sclerosis. she says she fell in love with running after she finished her first marathon back in 2010 and last summer she decided to step her game up, running a marathon every day of the week and a double marathon this past sunday on day 365. that s more than 9500 miles in total, which would get from you maine all the way around the united states to michigan. running that far. i can t even drive that today on studio b the denmark native told us how running marathons can come with risks. i didn t do it just to be healthy. but i am healthy. and that is very interesting that i have been running a marathon a day and i haven t been sick for a year. over a year. no flu, no nothing. bill. shepard: no injuries, either. she considers herself healthy and never really thinks about m.s. well, there is word ed snowden could soon get a look at the world outside the moscow airport. this comes as some lawmakers here in the united states are threatening to scale back the government surveillance programs that he exposed. and, as randy travis lies in a hospital bed recovering from a stroke, cops say they have now arrested his brother. that s coming up as we approach the bottom of the hour and the top of the news. vo: traveling you definitely end up meeting a lot more people but a friend under water is something completely different. i met a turtle friend today. avo: whatever you re looking for, expedia has more ways to help you find yours. but with advair, i m breathing better. so now i can help make this a great block party.

shepard, in fact, none of that u.s. military aid has reached the syrian rebels and now it is questionable whether it ever will. meanwhile on capitol hill today, the president s pick for u.n. ambassador samantha power hoped to break the ice during her confirmation hearing in which she had to defend a 2003 article she wrote in the new republic in which she suggested the u.s. should apologize for past crimes. quote, incity tiewght a doctrine of mea culpa would enhance by showing that american decision makers do not endorse the sins of their predecessors. we have nothing to apologize for. so you don t have any in mind now that we have committed or sponsors? i will not aipo poll guise for america. i will stand very proudly if confirmed behind the u.s. placard. i understand, but do you believe the united states has committed or sponsored crimes? i believe the united states is the greatest country on earth. power one, a pulitzer prize for writing about u.s. failures to prevent genocide. she argued passionately for the clinton administration to intervene in rwanda and help convince president obama to intervene in libya to overthrow muammar gaddafi, shep. shepard: helps president obama create a new organization called the atrocities prevention board it includes officials from the cia, the state department, justice department, and other government agencies. members say they meet once a month to talk about ways to prevent genocide and other atrocities. ed snowden now, he could be out of the moscow airport transit zone in a few days. that s according to a lawyer who says he has been working with the national security agency leaker. the it attorney says that he expects russia it to approve ed snowden s application for temporary asylum within a week. the russian president vladimir putin says he warned ed snowden again do not do anything that might hurt relations between the united states and russia. the former nsa contractor has admitted that he did, indeed, leak classified documents and expose secret phone and internet surveillance programs. now, members of congress are threatening to limit the government s power to spy on americans. steve centanni is live in d.c. tonight. some lawmakers say the feds have really gone too far. yeah. there was overwhelming opposition to the spying. among members of the house judiciary committee today. some saying they didn t realize how sweeping the program actually was until edward snowden made it public. while others suggested the government has gone way over board. the committee chairman questioned all that secrecy surrounding the program. do you think a program of this magnitude gathering information involving a large number of people involved with telephone companies and so on could be indefinitely kept secret from the american people? well, we tried. i understand. and good let threatened to reverse the authorization that makes the spying possible. the congressional anger crosses party lines. listen. i feel very uncomfortable about using aggregated metadata on hundreds of millions of americans. this is unsustainable. it s outrageous. and, must be stopped immediately. conyers says the program could very well be a violation of the fourth amendment. shep? shepard: it certainly okay how in the world did government officials defend themselves on this? well, they didn t defend themselves very well though they tried. they insisted the spying helps keep america safe. one government official acknowledges the whole program may need to be evaluated? in the intelligence community we try very hard to keep in mind both the protection of the national security and the privacy and constitutional rights of americans. we think we have struck that balance in the right place. but if the people in the congress determine that we struck that balance in the wrong place, that is a discussion that we need to have. and there was discussion today of having the phone companies keep customers records longer instead of giving them to the government. shep? shepard: steve centanni in d.c. police can now use license plate cameras to track millions upon millions of americans, criminal suspects or not, and track them for months or even years. that s the word today from the american civil liberties union. it reports that those cameras can now identify cars almost instantly to compare them against hot lists of vehicles linked to crimes. but, according to the aclu and others, some police departments keep that information for months or even longer for cars with no links to criminal activity whatsoever. just tracking where you go and when you are there. the attorney in charge of maryland s advisory council tells the the washington post newspaper and i quote: we don t want to retain more information than is necessary. the man accused of torturing three women for nearly a decade today pleaded not guilty. and he had so much trouble, apparently, keeping his eyes open in court, that the judge had to step in. that s next. plus, gay marriage is now legal in england but not all of britain will be recognizing same sex unions, the details ahead. plus, the whole world is apparently waiting with baited breath for some sort of baby or something. at least that s what our resident britain jonathan hunt would have us believe. his mother weighs in fromtude merry old. engineer: uh geico s discounts could save you hundreds of doll-ars. it sounds like you re saying dollus. dollus. engineeif you could accentuate the r sound of dollars. are.are. are. engineer: are. arrrrrr. arrrrr. someone bring me an eye patch, i feel like a bloomin pirate. geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. honestly, i feel like i nailed that. little things anyone can do. it steals your memories. your independence. ensures support, a breakthrough. and sooner than you d like. sooner than you d think. you die from alzheimer s disease. we cure alzheimer s disease. every little click, call or donation adds up to something big. i guess. did you download that book i sent?
