out on facebook and twitter. there's also plenty more out on facebook and twitter. there's also plenty more information and videos on our website... on the fox business network. lou: good evening. our top stories, federal authorities have arrested a suspect in the mailing of the suspicious packages to prominent democrats. a 56-year-old man withing a long arrest record and a history of threatening celebrities and politicians online. president trump urged swift justice in the case and urged americans to come together. president trump: we must never allow political violence to take

place in america. i'm trying everything as president within my power to stop it now. lou: the trump administration considering possible executive action to stop central american caravans making their way north through central america and mexico to prevent them from crossing into the united states. the white house vowing to do whatever is required to secure that border even as radical dems insist they will keep america's borders open to illegal immigrants and drugs. sara carter joins us here tonight. we'll hear from two great americans who lost children killed by illegal immigrants. president trump expected to take the stage moments from now in charlotte, north carolina as he keeps up his unprecedented

marathon of rallies in support of republican candidates all across the country. it seems if one man can determine the outcome of the mid-terms, it's president trump. the mid-terms now 11 days away. our top story, a suspect arrested in connection with the suspicious packages mailed to prominent democrats. the man, ceasar say ya cesar sad prehengded earlier today. each package containing ways described as potentially an explosive device. not one of these packages has detonated. catherinedetonated.catherine hes

more on the developing story from washington. obviously the wrong report. also tonight, the caravan still in the news. as many as 14,000 central american migrants continuing their push north through mexico toward our southern border. the caravan traveled more than 60 miles today. it's moving faster than it has the last two days. it's now in arriaga, mexico. it's a major hub. since sunday the caravan traveled 170 miles into mexico.

at its current pace the caravan will arrive in tijuana on new year's eve. william lajeunesse traveling with that caravan. they are in arriaga, mexico. give us the latest. reporter: the caravan arrived here. there are still 6,000. this is where a lot of them will sleep tonight. the town scare under canopies and cardboard. the state of chiapas bringing in food and water. you said they made 62 miles today. sunday was 0 miles. they are hitchhiking. the mexicans are giving them ride. mexican federal police at a checkpoint on the immigrant highway stopping local buses and trucks, allowing and seeing if

there is any room for the immigrants to board from the caravan. mexico told the u.s. it was stopping vehicles carrying the immigrants. not only are they not stopping them, they are helping put immigrants on the trucks. as i said, there are 6,000. according to unicef there are 2,600 children on the caravan. some of the men have left for work in mexico. staying here. some families are returning to honduras. but many continue going to the u.s. on their own regardless of warnings from president trump. >> we heard what he has been saying. but we'll ask him for an opportunity to work. >> so the timetable is change. clearly, they are going a lot

faster than anyone thought before. this is a rail car. the people are sleeping literally right next to the rail yard. this is known as the beast. they have taken this train for generations coming up from central america. i poke to several people who -- i spoke to several people who said they will get on the train. the cartels are there, the gangs are there. kidnapping, robbery, theft, falling off the train. but the bottom line is they will be in the united states faster than anyone previously thought. lou: faster but certainly not fast. by my calculation it would still take about 0 more days to get near the border. it looks like it will be disrupting some of the plans the left-wing organizers of these caravans who wanted their

arrival before election day. >> that's possible. but i wanted to bring up one quick thing. the pressure campaign on mexico may be working a little bit. president nieto said he'll offer these caravan members a job, school for their kid and medical care if they would stay and file here. up until now they haven't been willing to trust the mexican government. as for the organizers. they say it am marathon, not a sprint. they want to get there en masse in tijuana and have their attorneys help these people. as you and i both know, i talked to most of of these people. they don't bring up asylum. they haven't talked about credible fear and persecution. they talked about poverty and jobs. lou: the good news is the president of mexico is offering them jobs and support. that is a first. and perhaps augurs well for the

direction of what is now a contentious issue, that is illegal immigrants traversing the entire country of mexico to get to our southern border. william lajeunesse, thank you very much. day safe, thank you. here tonight with the right house reaction to the arrest of that suspect behind the suspicious packages and the central american caravan, john roberts. john: investigators are looking into the why of cesar sayoc's campaign of terror with those mailing. now that he is in custody, president trump is eager to get on to the how of holding on to congress and dealing with that migrant caravan. president trump: i want could compliment law enforcement for doing an incredible job.

reporter: he said he did not see the pro trump signage on sayoc's van. president trump: i heard he was a person to prefers me over others, but i did not see that. reporter: the president lamented how the packages have taken the attention off the mid terms. republicans are doing so well in early voting and at the polls. now this quote bomb stuff happens and the momentum greatly slows. this afternoon he pulled back a little bit. president trump: all people talked about was that. and rightfully so. but now we have to start the momentum again. reporter: but he seemed frustrated that his accomplishments, like yesterday's announcement of

lower the cost of prescription drugs. >> law enforcementment has done such a good job. reporter: he would like to get back to the caravan. president trump: i called up the military. we are not letting them in, they ought to go back. now, do we want them to apply and come in legally? absolutely. reporter: on the southwest border dhs secretary kirstjen nielsen described what the u.s. military's role will be. >> engineering support and logistics. vehicle barriers, pedestrian barriers. we make that request to the department of defense. reporter: the pentagon will provide planes and helicopters and command and control facilities. the white house is discussing possible executive or regulatory

action to stop illegal migrants from crossing over the bored or staying in the united states. a white house official telling fox news the administration is considering a wide range of administrative, legal and legislative options to address the democrat-created crisis of mass illegal immigration. >> we are looking at every possible way within the legal construct that we have to make sure those who do not have a legal right to come to this country do not come in, and/or are immediately apprehended, detained and removed. reporter: sources tell fox news no way forward has been determined yet. one vigorous discussion is what may or may not be legal. one thing the white house does have in its favor, a 5-4 conservative majority at the supreme court. lou: and apparently the force of law as well which means the president has the authority to

take necessary action in the national interest. john roberts at the white house, thank you. up next, we are awaiting president trump in charlotte, north carolina as he helps build momentum for republicans ahead of the mid terms rushing toward us, or we are rushing toward them as you wish. the national left-wing media can't stop blaming president trump for almost everything including suspicious packages. >> he spend most of of his time at his rallies throwing verbal bombs at all the people that receive these bombs in the mail. >> all of the targets of this suspect, of these pipe bombs are democrats or prominent critics of the president. >> this is an attempt to assassinate prominent democratic leaders. >> this president has incited

violence. >> he is responsible for not just allowing the chant cnn sucks, but stoking it. all you need is one crack pot. it looks like one may have emerged. >> i think they were confused there. it was president obama receiving the standing o from the democrats for reading the dell prompter. we'll be right back covering the president and his rally in charlotte. we'll be right back. the mercedes-benz of tomorrow will transform not just the automobile, but mobility itself. an autonomous-thinking vehicle protecting those inside and out. and it's the mercedes-benz of today that will help us get there. the 2019 e-class, with innovations that will change the way we drive from this day forward.

lou: next week the last full week before the mid-terms. in new jersey the race between corrupt incumbent bob menendez and his challenger has been moved to a tossup. in the texas senate race polls continue to move in favor of senator ted cruz as he seem to be pulling away in that race

against radical challenger beto o'rourke. cruz fleeghtd texas tribune poll, a survey conducted before the president's rally with cruz in houston. in missouri, incumbent democrat claire mccaskill has long claimed to be a supporter of veterans. but a new investigation shows her husband's evicted vets from housing for owing $300. president obama's ego trip campaign efforts for the dems made another stop in wisconsin. the former president who i have to say at the outset lost a

thousand democratic seats at all jurisdictions and levels in government. once again on the campaign trail. it's easy to forget who was trying to campaign for. he talked as usual about himself. >> i spilled some salad dressing on my shirt. but there are a lot of good reasons why i would like to come to milwaukee. i would like you to vote. the economy is doing so well. where do you think that started? by the time i left office wages were rising. if somebody who worked for me said just before he an election said i am voting for the other guy, i would feel terrible. when i'm talk about michelle, honey, see i'm doing all the dishes.

i love you too, but i'm making point right now. lou: remember in 2016 he told everybody in the democratic party to vote for hillary clinton or he would take it as a personal insult. i think there will be more insults. ed: the last thing you want is somebody like him or hillary out there talking about themselves. he endorsed her. gave her her game plan and they got beat. the bottom line is 2% growth is not what the american public thought was sufficient and can't play claim to what trump has. trump has all his regulatory stuff, and that's when the economy started taking off. >> i think it began on november 6, 2016. we saw the results start pouring in, and president trump was elected. that's when it began. i'm talk with ed rollins.

top strategist for the great america pack. -- pac. ed rollins, good to see you. moving past the perpetual obama narcissism. good news. the suspicious packages. i guess they were pipe bombs. the fbi won't say that. they won't say there was an explosive. they talk about energic material. i don't know what the reluctance is. if they have an explosive, say the, call it a bomb and be done. ed: the critical thing from a campaign perspective. the country as it should for the last week of the campaign is when everybody in these close races has to push their message across to the finish. my sense is don't get distracted by that. get back to talking about things that matter. the rare vans are things -- the

caravans are things people care about. lou: the success of the president's program. the reality it seems to me is everyone who he talked about for months on this broadcast, they have attached themselves to the president's agenda is doing well. the rinos are in desperate trouble. ed: rinos have nothing to articulate, and those who support the president's programs have a lot to talk about. this week is critical. you can't get off mess and and can't make mistakes. >> they knocked off a message for most of of the week. what impact do you think it will have on a republican. >> we are down to the weekend. fit would have gone three over or four days. it has to be issues that matter to voters. lou: do you recall the genius,

who is the lame duck speaker, the house of representatives paul ryan trying to urge all republicans to talk about tax cuts. this president has shown leadership and his driving on the issue of border security, sovereignty. his record of achievement which is unprecedented by any president in 21s -- in 21 1/2 months. ed: it's not a gubernatorial, but he's going where it makes a difference. lou: we are look at races tightening and moving toward the republicans in the senate. the house, how do you feel about that? ed: i'm worried about all the open seats.

there will be fewer republicans but i'm not sure we are going to lose it. lou: be sure to vote in tonight's poll. do you think president trump's unparalleled achievements and bold support of republican candidates will determine the outcome of these mid-term elections? cast your vote on twitter and follow me on instagram @loudobbstonight. president trump weighing an executive action to shut down the southern border. thousands of migrants trying to traverse mexico and cross our borders. sara carter recently returned from guatemala joins us after these words. stay with us. stay with us. we are c

lou: president trump speaking at a rally in charlotte, north

carolina. he's address the media's role in creating a toxic political environment. president trump: we have seen the media use the events of this week to score political points againstr against me and the republican party. but when a bernie sanders supporter tried to murder congressional republicans and tried to murder a great man named steve scalise and others, we did not use that attempt at mass murder for political gain because that would have been wrong. lou: the president telling it exactly as it is. he's speak at bow jangles coliseum in support of brad bud and chris harris. there are the usual overcapacity crowds.

10,000 people in that arena. there is no one in recent political memory who draws crowd like this president. i don't care what state it is. he goes all over the country. these crowds are incredible and it's not only the crowds inside, it, the crowd outside and all who want to attend these rallies. if there is a venue available for the larger capacity. it's still amazing. i don't know what this means for the mid terms. i can't imagine it's anything other than an indicator that at least a vote in the direction of the republicans. we'll see what happens. this is the kind of energy and intensity that i would think any candidate, any political party would want for going into the elections. we'll be bringing you more from president trump as the rally

continues. the president today addressed a young black leadership summit at the white house where he talked about the harm done to the african-american community by illegal immigration. >> i am legal immigration has been especially harmful to african-american communities and hispanic american communities by depressing wages and replacing workers. all americans have the right to have their laws even forced and their borders protected. we don't have borders, we don't have a country. lou: our next guest on the becausen honduran border, sara carter. let's talk first of all. we understand another caravan has formed and is on the move. your thoughts about what you saw, who is organizing this, these caravans, and just how

dangerous is this for these migrants who apparently haven't been told the truth about what a wait there is at the southern border for they get that far and how dangerous this trek is. >> you are right. it's incredibly dangerous. the majority of migrants. the families way at the front of the pack. i was in guatemala and the honduran border this week when the second wave of migrants came across the border. the majority were actually men. i would say there was about 1,200 men, and a few hundred women and children they put in the front of the line. this was highly organized. they had the women and children at the front of the line for the photographers and whatever local news agencies were there. i didn't see a lot of international agencies though i

did see cnn spanish there. but they were there to tell the story of the women and children. when i walked to the back, it was about 1,300 men. it looked like columns of men. they had a honduran flag and they were coming through and saying we are heading straight for america. president trump is going to see us, they are going to let us in. we are heading there to get jobs and we won't stop until we get there. the guatemalan government tried to turn people back and they turned back 3,500 to 4,000 people warning them it was going to be so dangerous. but now it's grown to 14,000 people because people in mexico are joining in the caravan and the drug cartels are taking advantage of it as well. lou: drug cartels, traffickers,

smugglers. who are these people and why aren't the governments whether it's hon you are as or guatemala or mexico, why aren't they dealing with what is in the midst of these people. these poor people have no idea. >> that's true. remember there is a lot of people within those lines that are criminals, too. i ran into ms-13 gang members while i was down there doing interviews. and you don't know who you are talking top it could be a wonderful person looking for a job and a place to go, then a criminal element. there were a number of unaccompanied minors under the age of 12 that at guatemalan government took and put into their custody because they were with men that were not their fathers. that's incredibly scary. the people organizing this event. some of them were in honduras,

leftist government coordinating this. the guatemalan government is working closely with the up s. government. they say once they figure out who organized this event they can work with the u.s. to bring charges against them if any of the people have been harmed. but the major step is the president is 100% right on. we have he right to protect our border. this is a dangerous situation that we can't exacerbate, and that's why he's sending the troops down there. we have 800 coming to assist. lou: and the president also apparently considering a further executive order to order suspension of immigration and certainly refugee status for any immigrant crossing that border now or approaching that bored. sara carter, good to see you back on this side of those borders. thanks for being with us

tonight. lou: facebook uncovers more iranian pages pushing fake news. imagine this on facebook before the mid term elections. we take that up and an upcoming very important election brazil. walid phares joins hey guys. today we're here to talk about trucks. i love trucks. what the heck is that?! whoa! what truck brand comes from the family of the most dependable, longest-lasting full-size pickups on the road? i think it's the chevy. ford. is it ford? nope, it's not ford. i think it's ram. is it ram? not ram. that's a chevy! it's chevy! that's right. from the family of the most dependable, longest-lasting full-size pickups on the road. gorgeous. chevy hit it out of the ballpark with these.

on our car insurance when we switched to geico. this is how it made me feel. it was like that feeling when you're mowing the lawn on a sunny day... ...and without even trying, you end up with one last strip that's exactly the width of your mower. when you're done, it looks so good you post a picture on social media. and it gets 127 likes. geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. lou: facebook removing 80 accounts tide to iranian

disinformation campaign less than two weeks before the mid-term elections. they posted information aimed at dividing americans on race, immigration and president trump. the company has found no ties to the iranian government, but can't say for sure who is responsible. figure that one out. joining us to discuss the latest in the khashoggi murder, the iranian efforts to influence our upcoming elections, and the presidential election in brazil on sunday, we are joined by dr. walid phares. great to have you with us. the attempts by turkey to extra diet khashoggi's killers from saudi arabia, that's a fruitless effort but it's great propaganda for president erdogan. >> president erdogan has many

tools in his hand now. he is cornering the saudis where he wants them to do something. of course, they are not going to be sending these individuals at this point in time. there is a crisis between turkey and saudi arabia. what they want from saudi arabia is for saudi arabia to stop the boycott of qatar, and top its campaign and war in yemen. the saudis will have to make a big choice. but i don't think the choice will to be let go of security issues for them. lou: facebook reporting 80 accounts on the part of facebook not want to go directly implicate iran. but that's what they are saying in a disinformation campaign. how significant is the iranian

effort to interfere in our elections? and what do you expect? >> lou, on your show we had those discussions about a year and a half ago. we had spoken about the iranian effort to meddle in our politics. first question that came then and continues to be today, where is that money coming from? it's coming from the iran deal, billions of dollars. they reinvested money that went to them through the iran deal into buying bloggers, media, and many of them have been bought by the rawans. the iran deal has caused us a lot of problems at this point in time. lou: let's turn to brazil, the largest country in south america, the most of populace and it is also a country that's been mired in recession for four years. sunday, the final round of the

elections is -- is he the winner, the most of likely in your judgment? >> the candidate of the conservatives is in the lead in the 60s. so what would happen between now and sunday is less likely that he would not win. he'll be in principle the next president of brazil. he'll change the policy. that's something most of americans have no idea. where will brazil and a continue america be monday if he wins. he'll go anti-terrorism and anti-smuggling, and he made a statement he'll be a partner with the united states against those extremists and help with us migrants. that's 72 hours from now. that's a democracy, they will elect their president first. lou: up next.

former deportees. part of the caravans make their way toward southern border. we'll be joined with angel mother mary ann mendoza.

lou: president trump reemphasizing the radical left's plan to keep our borders wide open and assure open borders if they take back control of congress. president trump: the democrats want to invite caravan after caravan of illegal aliens into our country. and they want to sign them up for free healthcare, free welfare, free education, and for the right to vote. they want to sign them for the right to vote. what's that all about? lou: joining us miry ann mendoza and angel dad, steve rodebek. first your reaction to these care vans of migrants saying point blank they are going to do whatever is necessary to get

across the border. the president says it will not happen. your thoughts? mary ann, let's begin with you. >> it's something this country cannot handle anymore. economically we are being overburdened by these people. that's why steve and i are taking time tomorrow to go down to southern arizona where there is just barbed wire, and no fencing. this is a message we are trying to bring to our fellow americans why the military is need down there. more and more of these people are flowing over and we don't know who they are. lou: most of people don't appreciate there are 5,000 illegal immigrants entering this country every day. and the truth is, we don't have 11 million illegal immigrants in this country.

the yale, mivment t. study shows it's 22 million already here, and it's striking to hear members of those caravans talk about they want medicare, jobs, they have an idea much what is happening to this country already. we are supporting far more people than we can afford. what are your thoughts. >> absolutely. our economic services are stretched to the limit at this point. you know, president trump mentioned it about not having a border. to be a sovereign country you have to have three things. you have to have a central government, you have to have a border and a means to protect the border. we have the means to protect the bored, but our southern border there will be is nothing there to stop these people. mary anne and i both have been to place whereas you have a

couple strands of barbed wire or a metal fence. we can't afford this. our sustainable population in the united states is stretched to the max. to open the borders and take millions more will put us back into a recession. >> if they are breaking the law to get here they will be breaking the law when they stay here. they will not take heed to the laws we have. they think we owe it to them and we don't. lou: your press conference tomorrow is at 1:00 and you are standing in support of the president, his border security policies, is that right? >> 100%. >> we welcome the fact that he's sending the troops to the border it's needed, it's necessary, this caravan needs to turn around. we cannot afford to take them in. >> close the borders, period.

lou: thank you very much. on wall street, stocks moved lower. the dow down 300 points. volume on the big board 4.8 billion shares. the dow losing 3% on the week. the s & p and nasdaq down 13%. google revealing it fired 14 of their senior managers for sexual harassment. and a remind tore listen to my reports three times a day coast to coast on the salem radio network. up next, president trump. the base is excited because he's in charlotte, north carolina. we'll have more on the president when we continue next.

lou: the poll question we asked you last night asked if sending troops to the border is the only way to security the border? 96% of you replied yesterday.

the "new york times" published the several fictionalized short stories about the outcome of the mueller witch hunt. one was an assassination fantasy. a russian agent was sent to kill president trump to silence him. it's an extraordinarily grotesque twist. secret service agent presented his handgun but first said use mine. this is the time of nonsense you can expect from the august "new york times." just awful. suspicion packages with undetonated contents caused the national left-wing media to fain outrage -- to feign outrage over the president's rhetoric.

that's it -- it's not it for us it's where we are today and what we are look at for tomorrow. in charlotte, north carolina, the president is talking about the importance of the mid-term elections 11 days away. president trump: this will be the election of the kavanaughs and the caravan and law and order and tax cuts. this will be an election frankly of common sense. right? common sense. lou: president trump holding another rally in murfreesboro tomorrow. our troops headed to the u.s. border next week and president trump weighing an executive order that would deny the immigrant caravan the opportunity to apply for asylum or entry if they were to approach our southern border. the president rallying in north

carolina. there he is. county are's for massive giving of amnesty. so that's the end of her. mark's oh point, dan mccready, is another extreme liberal trying to fool voters into believing he's a moderate. dan mccready will be a vote for nancy pelosi and waters and her radical agenda every uncle time, every time. a lot of them were popular. they are never going to vote for us. in west virginia, i have a situation, but he's never going to vote for us. we have so many states where i

won which by the way, our great vice president mike pence. lou: vice president mike pence. that's the president in charlotte, north carolina. we thank you for being with us. we'll wish you a great weekend, and see you monday. trish: breaking right now, the fbi warns there maybe more package bombs still to be discovered. this as the suspect is being grilled while in federal custody. from the beginning of this ordeal the media has been quick to blame our president for this person's heinous crimes. instead of helping us come together, the media is further exaggerating the division. something the president agrees with. president trump: the media's constant, unfair coverage, deep hostility, andeg
