content. mediwe'll see you back here suny at 11:00 eastern. see you with the latest buzz. [♪] arthel: a gruesome discovery in texas this morning. authority finding 8 bodies inside a tractor-trailer parked outside a walmart in san antonio. investigators calling it a horrific case of human trafficking. eric: authority also reportedly found 30 people who were alive inside that 18-wheeler. it's a small miracle considering the unbelievable sweltering temperatures in san antonio. the temperatures soared into the triple digits at one point and

that trigger truck did not appear to have a working air-conditioning system. this is absolutely horrible. how did authorities find the trailer there in the first place? >> according to the and antonio police chief, a man inside the trailer begged a walmart employee for water. he called for a welfare check and the police chief called it a mass casualty. saying if they had discovered the trailer 24 hours later they would have found 3 tigh -- -- 38 bodies. the driver of the trailer was arrested. but this is the work of a much larger element than just one man. >> there were a number of vehicles that came in and picked

up [inaudible] we are look at a trafficking crime this evening. reporter: the trailer had a license plate from iowa. other than that we don't know where it came from or who the driver is or who he may be working for. eric: this exposes alleged human trafficking. the owner of the truck, whoever was apparently behind the human traffickers. >> the driver is going to face state and federal charges. ultimately this will be a federal case. immigration and customs enforcement called it a horrific crime and a stark reminder of why human smuggling traffickers need to be caught and punished. arthel: very sad.

now going to politics. donald trump, jr. and former campaign chairman paul manafort avoiding a public hearing this week in the investigation. both men agreeing to meet privately. jared kushner also set to testify behind closed doors this week. garrett tenney live in washington with more. do we know if these men will be under oath? reporter: that is not clear yet. the senate judiciary committee says there is no need to subpoena them to testify because the pair agreed to be interviewed behind closed doors. the hearing was scheduled to take place wednesday but we are told there will be ongoing negotiations. it's highly unlikely it will happen this week. you mention the president's son-in-law jared kushner. he is scheduled to testify

monday and tuesday as part of their investigations into russia's meddling and potential tie to the trump campaign. kellyanne conway insisted the russia investigations are a waste of time. kellyanne: the president always said the russia investigation is a hoax and a w5e69 of time. what is this about? the taxpayer money, the diversion of resources and time. he's talking about america, they are talking about russia. reporter: congress is set to pass a bill with a new round of sanctions against russia. the white house has been pushing hard to have that part of the bill removed saying it would limit their ability to negotiate. but democratic senator ben carden says he's confident it

will pass even if the president vetoes the bill. >> it provides for congressional review. it's very bipartisan. senator cork and i on the senate foreign relations committee drafted a good part of it. it has broad support in the senate and the house. if he vetoes the bill, we'll override his veto. reporter: the white house says it supports the sanctions in the bill but wants to tweak the other aspects. arthel: garrett tenney in d.c. thank you very much. kellyanne: a sand handshake is not -- a handshake is not a meeting, a conversation is not an attempt to subvert democracy and swing the election results. i think it recusal has been -- i

think it's burned into other issues. eric: that was kellyanne conway defending attorney general jeff sessions. saying in her view there is nothing to the revelations that sergesergey kislyak told his bos that he and senator sessions discuss ha -- had discussions lt year. kislyak is veteran of moscow's diplomatic corps. he ended his tenure in washington. as of last night he left our country for reassignment back in moscow. ambassador john bolton knows him. he's chairman 69 gatesstone

institute. do you think kislyak accomplished his mission? was it to sow russian chaos and. >> city the was to push russian interests which includes getting to know as many senior political figures, commentators and business people as he possibly can. do i think he directed the russian influence operation? no. that was from some other element of russian intelligence. he may have been aware of that. he's a diplomat not a spy master. eric: you know him very well. you worked alongside of him. >> he's not a warm and fuzzy kinds of guy. i wouldn't confide my deepest secrets in him. he's an old soviet-style diplomat. but he's obviously well thought

of, that's why he got the job in washington. it's entirely possible some are suggesting he may go on to be russian ambassador to the u.n. all i can say is nikki haley get ready for this. eric: tomorrow and tuesday the house senate intelligence communities will be hearing from jared kushner. the meeting with natalia and the russian lawyers and others. what do you have think jared will say? any interactions they may have had. >> kislyak's job is to get to know people in an election year. i think he is probably typical of every other ambassador in washington trying to see what they can learn about the potential new president. most of of them felt as did virtually the entire american

political commentary. it doesn't surprise me kislyak is make an effort. but the disinformation campaign went on despite or without regard to the contacts kislyak was trying to make. eric: you have see two separate operations. >> here is a news flash for the commentators in washington it's one of the functions of diplomats to gain information about the countries they are assigned to. if they can find somebody who talks too much, that's their best friend. campaigns need to be aware of that and to maintain an appropriate level of prudence and security. eric: he was caught in these intercepts telling his tbhos moscow that they were having discussions about the campaign. is that wrong?

sessions was a member of the armed services committee and met kissly yak in his office. >> in the course of diplomatic history over the last 10,000 years or so, some diplomats have been known to exaggerate their accomplishments in reporting back to their capitals. think about that one for a minute. eric: he has been described as being very professional. he leaves our country and goes back to washington. there will be a new russian sanctions bill. vladimir putin will not be happy with that at all. the "wall street journal" says about that today, it says it would tighten restrictions on russian entities and limit russian businesses in the defense sectors from partnering with u.s. citizens. the failure to sign the bill

could prompt cite civil that president trump is siding with russia. in a way some say this is a slap in the face to the president, tying his hands. but it's not what the russians would have wanted from kissly yak. >> sergei is more likely to go down in american history than is in russian history given all this attention. odds are the president will sign the sanctions bill. i understand and share the concern about the constitutionality of the efforts to put restrictions on his waiver power. what i would recommend is sign the bill but issue a signing statement saying if it comes down to it, the president will regard these restrictions as infringing on his foreign affairs tour and disregard that. that's what presidents do. congress can't pass unconstitutional legislation.

even if it's 100-0 in the senate, and 435-0 in the house. that's the line i would draw for the president. eric: they talk about him having a job at the u.n. in just a few months. we'll see what happens and if he does assume residence in new york. ambassador john bolton who knows those halls well. arthel: the new white house communications team trying on their new positions. wall street financier anthony scaramucci coming on as new communications director, a move that sent sean spicer pack. spicer's former deputy sarah huckabee-sanders to take over as press secretary. kristen fisher is live with more from the white house.

what will scaramucci do differently from sean spicer? >> he said he wants to do thee things right off the back. he wants to reset the culture within the white house communications department. and he wants to stop the leaks. and he's willing to take dramatic action to do just that. he wants to focus and refine the message coming out of this white house. if we can dig deep on point number two. you get the sense the staff shakeups aren't over yet. that could include firing current white house staffers. >> if the leaks don't stop, i'll pare down the staff it's not fair to the president, it's not fair to america or the people in the government. something is going on inside the white house that the president does not like and we are going to fix it. reporter: it sounds like he has internal house keeping and

internal house cleaning to do, and he can fully turn his attention to the outside messaging and there could be big changes in that department as well. arthel: we are watching all of that very closely. scaramucci is already outspoken in his new role. what does he say about russia? >> he has no problem being outspoken in this role. in terms of russia. he says that he believes this whole thing is blown way out of proportion. and today he even went so far as to explicitly defend one of the president's family members or former campaign staffers who is going to be one of the three who is going to be testifying on capitol hill next week. listen. >> i worked intensely on that campaign. i think the russian situation is completely overblown. i was falsely accused of things relating to russia.

i know other people have been falsely accused of things related to russia. i'm confident tomorrow when jared kushner speaks, it will probably be the last time he has to talk about russia. for me i would like to get this behind us. reporter: scaramucci like president trump would like to get this entire russia investigation, the collusion story behind this white house. but of course it's safe to say it's not going away anytime soon, arthel. eric: coming up in a few moments we'll dig deeper into the changes in the press office at 100 pennsylvania avenue. on you next guest is a former member of the white house press corps and he says anthony scaramucci's appointment is a victory. what the tsa said it took from

this singer at an airport. r, a nutritious formula with no artificial flavors. made specifically for indoor cats. purina cat chow. nutrition to build better lives.

eric: hundreds of of the are helping the battle four different wildfires in montana.

officials suspect lightning strikes sparked the blaze. on the east coast of massachusetts, flames swallowed an apartment building that was under construction. it's not clear what caused that fire. country singer scotty mcreery is cited for bringing a loaded handgun. he said he forgot to take it out of his bag after going to a firing range. he does have a valid concealed carry permit. >> chris: maybe put on a show on the north lawn to talk about the administration policies. are you serious? >> i will talk to the president about it. that's when i was brainstorming by had an official job. we are going to reinvent the way we deliver information out of

the white house because the world has changed. and we need to rethink the way we are delivering our information r information. so stay tuned. arthel: the new white house communications director anthony scaramucci giving us an idea of the kind of changes he might be making for the white house communications team. will he be able to repair the white house's broken relationship with the press? nile, let's tart here. what will. carley: * do to set his tone, and as i asked someone yesterday, can he fix the plumbing at 1600 and stop the leaks? >> he's going to try to do that. it will be a difficult task. but i think we see a real change

in tone with anthony scaramucci. he's good on television which is not to be underestimated. but it's also a victory for new york over washington in terms of the president's inner circle and also for people who are personally loyal to the president rather than the washington establishment which i think is seen as being represented by people such as sean spicer, reince priebus, people like that. arthel: he loves the president. he's loyal to the president. will those two proclamations prevent scaramucci from being an honest broker with the president giving it to him straight? >> in fairness, he would see it as a strength. he would see himself as someone who understands the president, and who has the president's trust.

this issue of trust is a big one. so if -- if you are simply cut from the kind of cloth that the president likes, i think that is a real advantage in the communications area, and the lack of that has been quite a significant problem i would say. arthel: where does white house chief of staff reince priebus fit in with scaramucci? >> my sources tell me that this is a rebuke to the rnc orthodox republican wing. it's no great secret that reince priebus and sean spicer were reluctant to have scaramucci appointed in the first place. we have statements saying they are like brothers and fight like brothers. arthel: he said that. >> i would reach for the salt

there. thethere. they will there are what are the gop traditionalists to make of. carley: as -- make of scaramucs communications director. >> he doesn't have communications strategy experience and that causes scepticism on his part. they see him as a tv talking head. in my view that a little unfair. arthel: scaramucci got the yes votes from ivanka and steve bannon. >> one of the things we'll have to see is whether there will be calming down of these intern tensions. we have spoken of the fact that there are factions within the

white house. can scaramucci put order in this on this prohibition on leaking he's trying to impose and his closeness to the president. can he calm those watters or are there too many competing interests to do that in this white house. arthel: some would say too many cooks in the kitchen when you have jared and ivanka on one side and bannon on the other side. >> and different elements in the white house pulling in different directions. that's one of the problems with the communications strategy in the first place. eric: at this hour tensions are high in the holy land where bloodshed has erupts between the palestinians and israelis. plus the republicans trying to

please too many people with the healthcare bill? one republican senator rand paul says yes. >> they are going to present us with a partial repeal or the senate republican leadership plan which does not repeal obamacare but is full of all kind of government programs and spending. it's become the kitchen sing. they are throwing money in for anybody they think they can buy off. it's like labor day weekend on top of the fourth of july. hotdogs. get your favorites on top of your favorites. only at applebee's.

officers. live from our middle east bureau in jerusalem with the very latest. >> arthel, after two extremely violent days friday and saturday, today has been relatively calm. that is relatively calm. extremely tense situation and the possibility for more violence in an explosive situation is still very much a possibility. security forces want several in the last 36 hours including the home of the palestinians to carry up to murder three israelis in the west bank settlement on friday night. posting on facebook before you launch the attack friday that he was going to die for allah. the current concept over israel's decision to install metal or is at the holiest site would set off violent protests on friday and left hundreds appellate indians injured and three dead. called the area of the temple, muslims: compound.

israeli officials installed the metal or is in the interest of the mosque after three palestinians launched an attack they are a better week or so ago that killed two israeli police officers. muslims view this move as a unilateral step and undermine the status quo agreement that govern in sort of changes to that area basically the status quo says nothing should change unless everybody, muslims and israelis all agreed to it. the security council is supposed to take this issue up on monday, but arthel, as racing in the past number of groups like the security council have little ability to ratchet down tensions here and given what we see in the past few years, with this issue in tensions between the israelis and palestinians, still very much a possibility we'll see continued luncheon and conflict in the next few days and possibly weeks. arthel: unfortunately, emotions on high. thank you, powell, very much.

eric: back at home, health care but in the senate could be coming on tuesday. the prospect of a new health care bill remains uncertain with what the senators could actually be voting on. some republican senators that this is the right legislation to repeal and replace obamacare. based on reductions in medicaid funding still leaves too many americans uncovered according to cbo. vice president mike pence and republican dinner in ohio last night called on lawmakers to get the job done. >> a few days ago you all read about it. about it everywhere about it everywhere and if republicans in the senate were quite ready to move forward on legislation to repeal and replace obamacare. some people around the country harbor the belief democrats would help us clean up the mess they made, but as they said in the president said this morning, republican senators must step up to the plate after seven years and vote to repeal and replace obamacare. train to virginia congressman joins us now when homeland

security is a former navy seal. congress income at thank you for your service and for what you did with the navy seals. >> thank you can agree to be with you. >> of course. meanwhile in something else, this has had so many while tonight got the senate parliamentarian with an obstacle according to senate rules. dating 60 votes, not 51. what do you think will be voting on in the first place. >> let me preface by saying there is no time to be weak kneed. it's time to take action. the american people put us there for a reason. most of his campaign on this and voted for repeal a couple years ago. i understand that there are pressures from the other side. there are pressures with medicaid expansion states up for. and that is fine. get in there, hash it out, get a vote, move it forward. if you can't come to resolution on what the policeman is, pass

the repeal appeared if we did that, that would force everyone to come to the table. this is not a time for inaction. we should stand by the promises we made and this is not a time to be weak kneed. tree into some would say if you have a repeal, many americans would be without a safety net. >> you know, people again thought would be against it. you could do it in a way that gets plenty of time so it doesn't disrupt anything. the last and the democrats are likely one of the part of this be part of this. we want a seat at the table. call their bluff. force them to come to the table to do something. i think it is important that the senate in gop hack something now, get something across the table so we can negotiate. tree into what you think that could be? susan collins relies on the medicaid payments for many rural hospitals. today she was on the air singing that there may be should be a

way if lamar alexander has suggested to bring democrats then. deal with the medicaid funding, cbo report losing their insurance in the premiums could go out. so what you see if there is any, some compromise among the attorneys? >> let me first say i talked about the cbo and how they don't have the totality in different phases to health care is not going to be a one-shot deal. there is ongoing things that happened. i understand the pressures that some are repealing. i get that. that's not an excuse to have inaction they voted on a couple years ago. eric: insert interrupt their backlash from rand paul. he is saying it's a giveaway to the insurance companies. >> sure, if there's a rent party can't support this and susan collins can't support this in terms of what the party looks

like in some of them may be saying when he democrats on there. okay, fast to pull repeal. they were forced to come to the table to hash it out. >> this could be a point of compromise. the white house is trying to win over moderates to use the medicaid senate republican leaders are offering 200 billion to a state that expanded medicaid, which would be funded by leaving in two of obama cares taxes on high earners. a lawmakers questioned whether additional funding would make a difference. do you think that crowds come and that keeping parts of obamacare is keeping some of the taxes of the wealthy at the same time tried to satisfy the medicaid issue that could potentially hurt so many people. if they can come together on that, they can get something

done. >> i am confident we could -- when you look at state that expended the medicaid that they get reimbursed as an able-bodied childless adults as opposed to and the poor folks having last of the reimbursement payer. to put a lot of folks on the rolls. that being said, in medicaid expansion state. i get that. i'm pretty sure that we have to deal with the huge swath of the country paying a tremendous amount of taxes more than in the history of the nation that are choosing between health care and mortgage payments quite frankly. i'm pretty sure we can give relief to those folks and find a way to help the poor and that the health care intended. at the same time, obamacare has been around a little bit. there are good things that come around to it. that folks not going bankrupt and that is the intent of the gop keep those things. it's not going to be easy, we

must make hard decisions and we must leave all of us. >> you are working on it and wait thank you for that. we hope there is some action. thanks for joining us on a sunday. >> thank you for having me. have a great weekend. arthel. arthel: the parents joining the parent of charlie gard to let the terminate ill baby travel to the u.s. intel on the court could make a decision in that case. a military official saying the chance to take out an isis terrorist may have slipped her hand because of the leak. u.s. army special forces veterans join us to talk about the dangers of those intelligence next. teeth to your best smile.

eric: the parents of terminally ill british baby charlie gard getting the news they were hoping for this week at the 11 -month-old has a rare genetic condition causing brain damage. his parents argued before a british high court to charlie should be allowed to try experiments here in the u.s. they have new medical evidence about that and make a decision this coming week. protesters rallying outside the high court in support of little charlie and his parents. arthel: parsing tape to track to abu abu dhabi may have been compromised through a u.s. newspaper. the general telling catherine herridge, his team came close to finding him in 2015 after a raid revealed a treasure trove. later dying after the

information appeared in "the new york times." the president reading this message after our report, qualcomm and a fairly "new york times" followed u.s. attempt to kill the single most wanted terrorist al-baghdadi. they're sick agenda over national security. thank you so much for that. we start hearing someone with the front lines. what is your general feeling about leaks? >> the biggest thing people miss is their real lives are at stake when these leaks are made in you have to question what the motivation is behind why would someone leak some of this information. we can be transparent about what the military is doing from a strategic perspective. however, when you get down into the tactical techniques and the tactics and procedures that is

some in the general public doesn't need to know i'm not so we can actually get the bad guys and protect our soldiers. >> you know very well the media will withhold information before getting the official clearance of our men and women in uniform and what we talk about as reported by catherine herridge by the special operations commander saying it appeared to be referring to a "new york times" report in june 2015 that detailed how american intelligence agencies had extracted valuable information. so specifically come i ask you what your thoughts regarding this information published by "the new york times"? >> so let's remember that one of the key elements of capturing bin laden was tracking something as simple as his carrier. one of the things released in "the new york times" article was

discussing how al-baghdadi communicates with the tenants, how they move messages around, holiday use the eyes of the isis leaders. we can't forget to me the most important point. did the author of "the new york times" article should have understood the sensitivity of what he was releasing? yes. he did not leak that information. he published it and i wished he hadn't. that information had come from somewhere appeared in the article, and it describes a senior official, be it friends date for dod, i don't know. that information came from somebody who fail to do their duty and keep the information quiet. he didn't just pull the information out in the air. someone of the classified rules and gave the information on that person needs to be held accountable as well. arthel: want to point out in response to baker wrote the pentagon raised no objections with the times before publishing

a story in 2015 and no senior american official ever complained publicly about it until now. go ahead and respond. >> i certainly wasn't a part of those discussions. certain individuals have the aspect coming do you mind if this is released? quietly they would've said no perhaps. one reason could be that if any official had come out publicly afterward announcing the, it would have given validation there was that valuable. they were hoping the article would come out and not a great amount of attention would be given to it. we have been shown time and time again that organizations like isis are highly adaptable, pay attention to the news coverage and as soon as they saw the information, which would they're probably changing internal protocols as soon as the raid was made public. but again, when you have information like that, it's

timely and nature and that can lead to some in as great as capturing somebody or killing someone like minded or put our troops in jeopardy and people need to take a hard look at what their responsibilities are and just keep quiet. arthel: i have to leave it there. ben pollin, thank you so much. trade do after week of brutal even storms in these dog days of summer, there is some weather ahead. we'll go to the fox extreme weather center for the forecast for my nation on this. and the legally blind veteran of two wars with this flag every day or try to steal it. he proves he is still willing to fight for it. >> well, if there is anyway to catch in, and i was able to do so i would like to do such.
