the white house. blake: oil prices spiked higher after two tankers were attacked in the gulf oman off the coast of the iran. reporter: the white house is holding iran responsible for the incident. that sent oil prices higher for the session. investors noting in the past tensions in the neecht near the strait of hormuz could spike' prices more than we saw today. specifically stemming those moves higher it's remarkable. the united states at one point worried about its reliance on middle eastern oil supplies now the largest producer in the world.

the output of 12.3 million a day. russia is just under 11 million. this is the peak of the season when prices should be the highest. they fell 4% on forecasts of another production swell near the united states. average gas prices, 18 cents lower than last year according to triple aaa. opec take its global demand forecast down, all of this adding up that there is a case for prices top moved lower, provided the middle east situation doesn't get worse. high 40s not out of the question. meantime, joining me now, the retired ma stream corps colonel today coka wood. we heard from secretary of state mike pompeo about these attacks

and he made it clear the united states believes iran is behind it. >> if you have got a ship under way out on the ocean. there are only so many actors that can possible accumulates an attack. was it and tore fee dough, a small boat. blake: there is talk about it being a torpedo. >> modern torpedoes have a devastating effect. because the damage isn't more severe. it was probably more a mine attack on that. it's not some terror group in syria reaching out. this has to be a state actor and it's going to be iran. blake: ways their motive? >> it could be economic. it could be because of the sanctions imposed by the u.s. you can bump up the price of oil it mitigates offset of sales.

they are feeling the pain of maximum pressure on the u.s. and they are strike out against that. so it's destabilizing, they are making themselves known. they are threatening the world market. so if you see this spike in toil prices, are there external pressures that come back on the u.s.? maybe it's europe that puts pressure on the american president? you have got this pressure that clearly iran is feeling the pain and they are lashing out because of that. >> is there any pressure iran can put on the u.s.? >> talks of shutting down the strait of hormuz. not to say it could get to that point. >> there was a clear and present danger the state department and department of defense were talking about. u.s. personnel in iraq. can iran amp up its support to

hezbollah and more greatly threaten and you sport against israel. so it's a natural u.s. ally. there are indirect ways, but not directly against the u.s. >> this attack happened at the japanese recommend' shinzo abe was in iran. and one of the tankers that was hit is operated by a japanese company. there are some who believe there is nothing co-incidental in war and politics. >> i think it's iran being stupid. they are attacking the ship sphooms being' operated by japanese interests when you have the prime minister in the country. they are lashing out. even though the attack was prosecuted successfully, it wasn't well coordinated. this administration needs to

blake: for the latest in the dominican republic. arrests in the brazen shooting of red sox icon day individual ortiz, and investigators are facing questions about the mysterious deaths of american tourists. it. the 7th mayor can has died

there in the last year. >> the police in the dominican republic say they are holding is suspects in the shooting of david ortiz. six other suspects are still on the loose. the police said the shooting was an attempted assassination. six suspects' all in their 20s were paid $7,800 to carry out attack. the security camera video shows the shooter creeping up behind david orit is shooting him in the back at almost point-blank range. what is not clear is the motive. why did someone hire at least 10 people to kill david ortiz. more information about another american death. this time it's ask jonathon corcoran. his death is being linked to the

7 mysterious american deaths here the past he several months. but subject information does not deviate from the report that he had a heart attack. the latest death has the same pattern we have seen in the other six. someone in the resort taking a drink from the mini bar and getting violently ill, respiratory failure and then death. six are linked but the 7th is still not a match. most of families who had anyone here in the past year die suddenly are starting to reexamine the details around that death. now to mexico and the battle over the border. mexico is facing increasing internal challenges to process

surging' asylum requests. >> you had people coming across that shouldn't be coming across. you have gang members and we are and prelearnedding them and getting them out. we have people all over the country. >> this comes after the president made the comments about phase two, what might happen if mexico doesn't live up top its end of the immigration deal. joining us now is the arizona republican congress woman debbie lerks sko. thank you for coming in tonight. east in your members -- most of your members are out of town and you are here. >> i am here and i am and little sleep deprived. but i'm glad to be here. blake: you heard the president say they are expecting to make more arrests the next week and a half or so.

what do you have take from that hearing it from the commander-in-chief? >> being from arizona, a border state. securing our border is important not only to the nation, but our state. we know it firsthand in is a huge crisis at the southern border. anyone who opens their eyes -- i find it hard to believe some of my democratic colleagues are still refusing to believe there is a crisis at the border. blake: they are coming around to it. >> i hope so. i sponsored an amendment last night on a bill, and so did 15 other republicans saying we need funding for the hugh man tearian crisis at the border. we are running out much shelter space. we need medical and transportation for the migrants. the democrats refused it 15 times last night. i hope they will be able to say

we can solve this together. we cannot continue to sustain -- what did we have, 144,000 people come over our border? >> when you talk about the southern border, there are a lot of issues living in a border state. just to focus on a couple, you have got the humanitarian crisis, then you have got tariffs in the agreement with mexico. are you okay with the president throwing tariffs into the mix of all of this? >> when he's threatened the 5% tariffs and having it go up more and more. mexico met with him a few days later and said we are going to put 6,000 troops down at the border and do other things like give asylum to the people coming from central america. they are still trying to hold off on being considered a safe third country.

but they said -- >> immigrants making their way north would be able to make claims in mexicoen not necessarily in the united states. do you think that's a key moment if it gets to that? would that slow down the surge? >> i think it would slow down the surge. because a lot of the people seeking asylum, some may need it. we want to help those people that are in fear of their life. so many of them are coming to america and they admit it just for the better economy and better jobs. that's not what asylum is all about it's for people in fear of their life. if they are in fear of their life and they get asylum in mexico, they should be happy. blake: the president talks about phase two. do you know what that is. >> the president is talking about this possible phase two. it seems like there is not a lot

of details about what can happen next. >> the president is great. he has some great idea. people always doubt him. they have been doubting him since he was campaigning. but you know what? he has come through on the promises he made to the american people, and when he said mexico is going to pay for the wall, they ridicule him. they haven't for the wall, but they are paying for troops to go down to their southern border and they are paying to have asylum there. blake: i was on the campaign trail. i never heard anyone say mexico was going to pay for troops on the southern border. >> we'll see, it may happen yet. blake: the administration is saying the usmca will pay for it, and it appears in jeopardy. >> i hope not. that's really important for

arizona. blake: thank you for staying in with us tonight. thank you. coming up. bernie sanders has a new target in the wake of his blistering attack on capitalism. the political fallout on capitol hill from both side of the aisle mounting after president trump doubled down on just what he would do if foreign powers gave him information about political opponents. we'll pick it up. all money managers might seem the same, but some give their clients cookie cutter portfolios. fisher investments tailors portfolios to your goals and needs. some only call when they have something to sell. fisher calls regularly so you stay informed. and while some advisors are happy to earn commissions whether you do well or not. fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better.

on capitalism. reporter: bernie sanders put corporate american on blast yesterday saying wall street on the big banks are fans of socialism in their own way. >> they don't oppose all forms of socialism. they may hate democratic socialism because it benefits working people. but they absolutely love corporate socialism that enriches trump and other billionaires. let us never forget the unbelievable hypocrisy of wall street, the high priest of unfettered capitalism. in 2008, after their greed, recklessness and political behavior, it's the worst financial disaster in since the

great depression. reporter: jamie dimon said socialism puts the government in charge of companies. but sanders before he took the podium he took to twitter to call out dimon tweeting this. i didn't hear jamie dimon criticizing socialism when wall street begged for the largest federal bailout in history. sanders did admit that the stock market, gdp and unemployment numbers are booming. but he says that boost is not benefiting american workers. blake: joining me now, the fox news contributor and former dnc chair, donna brazile. let's talk about bernie sanders. the debates are in a couple weeks. >> 13 days.

blake: i don't think it's co-incidental he gave it people yesterday defending democratic socialism. is that what this was all about? >> i think senator sanders started this conversation with the american people in 2015 when he announced for 2016. he believed in the 19th century there was a populist movement to respond to wall street. then in the 20th century there was a populist movement. he believes in the 21st century the best way to level the playing field toys level the playing field. he must report proposals and say is this the way to deal with the excesses, the income inequality. >> would that hit him on the

term democratic socialism? >> i don't think they will deal with the label but they will deal with the underlying issues. do we reform capitalism? elizabeth warren has couple with sensible proposals that deal with income inequality. you heard medicare for all. all these other proposals to deal with rising prescription prices and rising premiums. the candidates will have an opportunity to contrast their plans with that of senator sanders and others. but this is an opportunity to have a conversation. this is a debate, it's not the gospel it's just a debate. blake: betoio -- betoio rourke said this. joe biden a return to the past?

>> he is. and that cannot be who we are going forward. we have to be bigger and bolder. we have to set a much higher mark and be relentless in pursuing that. >> i'm laughing. campaigns are all about the future. it's not about the rearview mirror. blake: i thought democrats liked joe biden because they know about his 8 years in the past. >> they are learning about all these other candidates including kamala harris and elizabeth warren and mayor pete. democrats are on a shopping spree. we are looking for the right candidate because we know donald trump will run a tough campaign in 2020. blake: 20 candidates of the 23 are going to be up on that debate stage. i remember in the 2016 election

it was democrats who said republicans have whatever the number of candidates, it's a party in disarray. it slipped now. you have got 20 on the debate stage. >> we also made fun of the adult table and children's table. each night, 10 candidates per night. 10 candidates failed to make the cut. mr. bull pock, the governor of montana, along with mr. molten, the congressman from the great state of massachusetts and the mayor of miramar, florida. they didn't make the debate, but a lot of candidates who did make the debate made it by qualifying by one of two criteria. it's interesting to see those who's qualify on two.

congressman from california says this is a bridge too far. he came out publicly in favor of impeachment. house speaker nancy pelosi says it appears the president don't know right from wrong. this on this from republican senator mitt romney of utah. >> i ran for president twice. i ran for governor once, i ran for senate twice. i never had any attempt made by a foreign cost contact me or a member of my staff. had that occurred, i would have contacted the fbi immediately. >> we are talking about a hypothetical. >> you are asking a hypothetical. let's look at what did happen. >> we are asking specifically about remarks of the president. he speaks for the executive office. we would like you respectfully

to address that question. if he says those things, that concerns people. is that -- >> what are you most of concerned about? did the president say he would be more flexible after the next election this president has been tougher on russia than any president before. reporter: lindsey graham said, that's not the right answer. if a foreign government comes to you as a puck official and offers to help your campaign, the answer is no. blake: there was late action on the senate floor, too. >> there was a bill if you are running a campaign and you get contacted by a foreign government, you have to report that right away.

marcia blackburn, the freshman senator from tennessee objected. this was a consent request. she objected. she said we need more time to think about this and consider this in a thoughtful fashion. if they were going to do that, you don't run down to the senate floor. but it allows the democrats to say the republicans are in league with the president and they won't support a bill to support our elections. blake: chad pergram on capitol hill. the white house fires back after a government watchdog says one of the president's top visors needs to d advisors needs to leave her post.

advisor to the president and former campaign manager should no longer serve in the white house. the office of legal counsel citing numerous violations of the hatch act. they say conway has crossed the line too many times. criticizing democrats during her official white house duties and on social media. a white house spokesperson they said quote - the office of

special counsel 's unprecedented actions against kellyanne conway are deeply flawed and violate her constitutional rights. the free speech and due process. joining me now is former federal prosecutor, katie -- >> how are you? chris great, what do you make of this? it's a government watchdog saying kellyanne conway should step aside. >> there is recommendations, just another special counsel report that has really no practical legal impact. and by that i mean that this is just a recommendation, the president has the sole and only authority to really do anything about this. if he did effectively ms. conway had violated the hatch act which is a very factual base question. and really nothing will likely come of this. >> we should note the office of special counsel not robert

mueller, different wing. at the end of the day the president is one that can decide what kind of actions should be taken and she's been reprimanded before due to the hatch act and really nothing came about. it is likely to say nothing will come of it now. >> exactly. it is a watchdog group that tries to make sure that they not engage in political activity but it is, when you talk about social media employees to have first amendment rights to free speech. >> it's interesting that you bring up social media because it is part of the argument the white house is making. this is kind of a different space. then you know going on television. >> right. and a lot of specifically address that. there a lot of facts that bleed into, this was personal capacity that they're making statements or at his official capacity? and really where is that line drawn. that's why the white house is respondent strong to say there's no precedent for this. for these allegations against ms. conway because they've no

authority to say that they can relate what is on her personal account. >> katie, i want to ask you about the, the president made in the interview with george stephanopoulos earlier this week. in which he did not really shy away from saying that if opposition research from foreign entities were to come his way, it would be fair game. the law clearly reads that would be illegal. the statute says it shall be unlawful for a person to solicit, accept or receive a contribution or donation from a foreign national. this very clearly now would be receiving conservation from a foreign national should it happen. >> well, there is again, not a fact that going to the analysis of receiving opposition research during a campaign. and in fact, when we are looking at the mueller report, donald trump jr. was booked for this very same thing there is no indictment that came out of that. there's always a foreign language in receiving information passively and actually soliciting it were conspiring with foreign governments to interfere. so i think that it really

depends on the circumstances. i think there has to be an actual finding that something was exchanged for that to be a violation of the law. there's always that line that people walk very tightly and i think maybe the president was referred step certainly is not great. >> not great and i guess someone said that is what lawyers are for. if you think that there is a gray area. there is a lawyer on either side. we have to leave it there, katie cherkasky, take you for joining us. moving on quickly breaking news the united kingdom foreign minister says quote - our starting point is to believe the u.s. view that iran to play for oil tanker attacks saying quote - the attacks are deeply worrying. in any involvement in the tanker attacks would be a deeply unwise escalation. this is a story we've been following today. the left side of the screen there. one of two takers that have been attacked off the coast of iran. in the waters there, the
