tanner told him he was having a hard time finding a date. >> you're going to have a great time with me. free dinner. someone is buying us dinner. it's going to be a great night. >> the good news, ladies, he's available. i'm dana. here's shep. >> shepard: it's 3:00 in washington, noon on the west coast. plans are in motion to send the national guard to the southern border. now we're hearing it could be months before that happens. going after russia for election meddling. fox news confirms the trump administration plans to target some of vladimir putin's rich friends. could happen within days we're told. we'll explain the plan and the finishment. united nations set to hold a meeting about the nerve agent attack on a former russian spy and his daughter. for the first time, we're hearing from the daughter what it was like to be poisoned by putin. let's get to it.

first from the fox news deck this thursday afternoon, moments ago, president trump slammed what he calls our country's weak immigration laws during what was supposed to be a tax event in west virginia. >> they have catch and release, which we're terminating. if one foot hits our country, we have to take those people, gently register them and release them. so we release them. then they're supposed to come back for a court case. we hire more judges. we're trying to hire thousands of judges. >> shepard: this after the president signed an order to send members of the national guard to the border saying the situation has reached a point of crisis. we're also getting word that it could be months for any troops at all arrive. homeland security secretary has now said that they're still

working out how many will be deployed. we don't know how many, for how long or how much it will cost. we don't know whether they will be armed and what they will do. she says the national guard will help free up border patrol agents. >> we would be looking for them to do that. they help provide medical care for those that we do interdict. they help us do maintenance. a lot of mechanics to use in that terrain. so it's a lot of support functions that will free up the border patrol to do what they do best, which is enforce border laws. >> support functions. the idea is they have not talked to the governors of the states to see what the governors want. mexico is pushing back against the president's decision. lawmakers there passed a resolution today that could possibly end cooperation between the united states and mexico on things including border security and drug trafficking. under federal law, the president of the united states can deploy troops anywhere in the united states. former presidents george w. bush and barack obama both sent the

national guard to the southern border after discussing it further with the governors and after working out a plan. this time, well, not so much. meantime president trump today praised the mexican government for disbanding a caravan of migrants from central america. he tweeted the car van is largely broken up thanks to the strong immigration of laws of mexico and using them so as to not cause a giant scene at our border. border crossings are at an unacceptable 46-year low. stop drugs. the caravan, which has been a subject of the president's tweets is part of an annual demonstration to raise awareness about the tens of thousands of central americans that deal with violence and political unrest. last year it's believed that as many as three people in the caravan actually received asylum. there was concern and the

mexicans announced that this year the journey would end in mexico city. we have team fox coverage and john roberts is live on the north lawn. first, the national security correspondent jennifer griffin at the pentagon. hello, jen. >> we just heard from pentagon officials about how this national guard deployment to the border will work. let's say there's more questions than answers. dana white made the announcement. >> effective immediately, we are establishing a new border security support cell. this is not business assious you'll. the cell will last for the foreseeable future to ensure we surge our capacity to meet the president's enhanced border security goals. >> pentagon officials who i spoke to this morning said they did not know how many troops the white house and dhs are requesting. nor do they know where they're being sent or what their assignments will be. defense officials tell me it will take up to two months before any national guard will be in place. that's the way the bureaucracy

works here. the president just said u.s. troops might help build a wall on military-owned land. >> we have to have strong borders. we'll have the wall. we started building it and fixing miles and miles of wall up and fenced. we're going to have our wall and we're going to get it very strongly. the military will be building some of it. >> he was referring to the berry goldwater air force base and firing range in southwest arizona. that military base runs along 31 miles of the 2,000 border and serves as a firing range. it's not clear how many illegals cross that section on any given day since the possibility of being shot is already high, shep. >> shepard: any word yet on what this might cost? >> that's the very question that max thornberry has asked, urging the white house not to rob from the military to pay for border security. it could take from the very accounts that are needed to

rebuild military aircraft and address the pentagon's readiness problems. >> border security is national security. we are leaning forward to support the president in his intent and his goal. but readiness remains our top priority. >> when president bush sent 6,000 national guardsmen to the border in 2006, it came from the navy and air force's operations and maintenance account, shep. >> pentagon officials say nothing actually has changed in syria. that's despite president trump saying this week that he wants to pull out u.s. troops from the war-torn nation and soon. just yesterday, the white house said american involvement in syria is coming to a rapid end but did not give specifics. john roberts on the north lawn. hi, john. >> good afternoon, shep. the president said last week that he wanted to bring the

troops home. now the president has had a meeting with his national security council and he has formulated something of a plan. the plan according to a statement from the white house is that the troops will stay in syria until the last pockets of isis are eradicated. officials tell fox news the president during that meeting with his national security team said that he ideally -- again, ideally, not date certain, but ideally would like to have all u.s. forces out of syria in six months time. the pentagon, as you pointed out, said the plan is the plan and nothing has changed. listen here. >> we've always thought that as we reached finlety, nothing has changed. >> the pentagon has been taken by surprise by these latest plans from the president. the announcement last week that he wanted troops home soon blind-sided everybody. this idea of sending troops to the border, pentagon's worked

double overtime to try to fill the president's request. shep? >> shepard: i mentioned this event in west virginia. it was build as a tax event but the president did talk about china a lot. >> he's standing firm against china. he says he believes they have been cheating on trade and giving the united states a bum rush for decades and finally time that somebody stood up to them and said we're not going to take it anymore. listen to what the president said a few minutes ago. >> you have to go after the people that aren't treating you right. and in many respects, i think we'll have a fantastic relationship long-term with china. but we have to get this straightened out. we have to have some balance. >> the president responding to the threat from china the other day that they would slap tariffs on some $50 billion worth of u.s. goods that really covered the gamut of products made in politically important swing states. the president's chief economic adviser, larry kudlow, is

playing down the idea that there could be a trade war between the u.s. and china suggesting there's back-channel negotiations already underway that may avoid the imposition of tariffs altogether and telling manufacturers in the united states who are beginning to hyperventilate about the effect of tariffs to take a deep breath and don't worry. >> technically, both countries have just proposed tariffs. there's nothing enacted. the intent of the president is to grow the american economy, not to hurt it. look, our farm sector has been doing great. china should give them more exports. same with nafta. >> larry kudlow, a famous free trader is in lock step with the president saying if we can renegotiate the trait agreement with china, maybe not eliminate the deficit but whittle it away,

he said there's a pot of gold at the end of the trade rainbow. as anybody has tried to find the end of a rainbow, it is difficult to get there. >> shepard: it doesn't exist actually. john, the president laid into joe manchin. >> yeah. he covered the gamut of a number of issues and wrapped them around manchin's neck. he's up for re-election in november. the president blaming just about everything except for the rain on manchin today. listen to this. >> look at your senator. he voted against -- joe voted against -- it was bad. i thought he would be helpful because he talks, grabs me, i grab him. he says hello. i say hello. but he votes against everything and he voted against our tax cuts. and he voted -- he also voted against medical help and

healthcare. that's bad. we can't have it. you know, it's one of those things. he does other things that i don't like, i'll be honest with you. he does everything. >> still the two of them talk quite frequently. the president will probably love it if joe manchin changes his affiliation from democrat to republican as jim justice did when he saw the writing on the wall. manchin not likely to do that. remember, shep, president trump won west virginia by nearly 40 points. so manchin will have a tough time. no question about that. >> shepard: sure sounds like it. john roberts on the north lawn. thanks, pal. alexi mcca camcampmon for axios. good to have you here. >> hi, shep. there's a lot going on at the border. we don't know how many troops or how much it will cost or what exactly they'll be doing except

for providing more surveillance via air and camera. we know for sure they won't have physical contact with immigrants and won't process any illegals coming through. the cost and the number of troops are the two big things we need to know. >> shepard: will they be armed? >> another thing we don't know. i know federal law prohibits active duty members as serving as law enforcement in the u.s. so being armed would suggest that's the capacity in which they would be acting. but there's a lot of questions that need to be answered, including those we just discussed. >> shepard: a lot of misinformation about this caravan. can you help our viewers understand what these people are and they weren't going to crash the border. that's not what happened in the past. >> right. this is an annual activist demonstration from folks in central america who are trying to expose the dangerous situations in which they're living. they're not coming to take advantage of the daca program as president trump said in his speech.

that's not even possible as we know. that new applicants are daca are barred from doing that. they're trying to raise awareness and show these are the situations they're living in and hoping for a better life. i think president trump referenced something in west virginia about the number of rapes that are taking place in this caravan. that is false. >> shepard: the president just said that some of them, among them, were rapists and murders. our producer is telling me at the event in west virginia. >> right. he was nodding to the way he announced his candidacy in 2016 where he was very provocative and said that some mexican immigrants are rapists and now he's a way to bring it back to rile up his base, which he knows is more excited about immigration than tax cuts. >> shepard: you wonder about this return to issues about the base. these are. the border wall, the caravan.

the menacing caravan and all the rest. often when he starts to go back to the base so hard, something is about to come out. do we know anything? >> well, i think one thing we can look to is pennsylvania 18, right? we saw how republicans pulled ads focusing on the tax cut message. that suggested it wasn't moving the needle with voters. so in addition in talking about phase two trying to rev people up about the issue a second time, they're returning to issues that they know will get people excited and willing to show up at the polls. that's what we're seeing. they're banking on using tax reform and tax cuts as the main issue but it's not been pushing the needle for them in raises so far. >> shepard: alexi, thanks so much. appreciate it. >> thanks, shep. >> shepard: president trump speaking out about his epa chief after a fox news interview from ed henry that you may have seen on every channel involving some

serious ethical issues. so doesn't trump still have confidence in scott pruitt? reporters asked him that a short time ago. you'll hear the answer and hear from ed. that's coming up from the fox news deck on this thursday afternoon.

your brain changes as you get older. but prevagen helps your brain with an ingredient originally discovered... in jellyfish. in clinical trials, prevagen has been shown to improve short-term memory. prevagen. the name to remember. pepsoriasis does that. it was tough getting out there on stage. i wanted to be clear. i wanted it to last. so i kept on fighting. i found something that worked. and keeps on working. now? they see me. see me. see if cosentyx could make a difference for you- cosentyx is proven to help people with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis... ...find clear skin that can last. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx. before starting cosentyx, you should be checked for tuberculosis.

night, only on nights he was staying there. this comes as an ethics official at the epa says he approved pruitt's lease based only on federal gift rules and did not consider the federal impartiality rule. that rule requires an employee to consider appearance concerns before participating in a particular matter if someone close to the employee is involved as a party to that matter. that ethics official said he did not have all of the factual information to address those questions. in other words, they're styling it back a little bit. ed henry had a sit-down with pruitt himself. that was getting a lot of play on every channel today. so there's that. >> yeah, it's interesting. that ethics officer said he didn't have all the facts on the gift question to some extent. now we're learning that scott pruitt's daughter stayed in this apartment sometimes and used a

second bet room even though the lease that the ethics officer said he only had use of one room. that's something that pruitt told me. but sometimes nights he had use of a second round and could be seen as a gift if, and i stress if, if his daughter was staying there for free. the bigger question is the conflict of interest question. this condo one block from the capitol is owned by the wife of this lobbiest. turns out daily beast has just reported that there was business before the lobbyist represented a company that had a super fund site and $100 million of litigation. that can be a conflict of interest. i pressed pruitt about the fact that this lobbyist lobbied for exxon mobil oil and gas. he kept denying that. then i asked about the broader question. he says does this violate the

spirit of the whole make america great again campaign. watch. >> there's members of congress that have for years rented rooms on capitol hill. >> the swamp. you said it. but you're not changing it. you're doing the same thing they did. >> ed -- >> if they did it it's okay for you. >> you asked me if there was criticism. what is criticism with respect to previous cabinet officials in obama. nobody asked me back then. here's why. because they weren't getting things done like this administration. >> rand paul though, key republican, spoke out today. he said he thinks pruitt is the most conservative member and thinks he shouldn't be pushed out. >> he talks about pay raises for two staff members of the epa. that was quit a back and forth. >> he made it he seemed like he knew nothing about this. we're hearing from people close to the white house that scott pruitt was with his team pushing for the pay raises and they weren't people he didn't know.

political advisers from his days in oklahoma. the key is that the white house said don't give him the pay raises. $28,000 for one and $56,000 for the other. it's a waste of taxpayer money. we're told pruitt and his team did it anyway. here's what he said. >> so one of your friends from oklahoma -- >> they did not get a pay raise. >> they did. >> they did not. i stopped that yesterday. >> so you stopped it. >> are you embarrassed -- >> it should not have happened. the officials that were involved in the process shouldn't have done what they did. >> i asked if he took responsibility. he said it was his team, shep. >> ed henry, thank you. the news continues right after this.

slap new sanctions on a group of russians, including some with ties to vladimir putin. a senior administration official says it's in response to russia's meddling in the 2016 election and the official announcement will come this week. president trump has faced criticism for not doing enough to respond to russia's increased aggression. this week he told reporters that more than once that nobody has been tougher on russia than he. catherine herridge with the rest of this live in washington. catherine? >> this escalation is said to include wealthy businessmen with ties to vladimir putin. these men are none as the oligarchs. the new special sections appear to go against the 13 russians that attacked the electoral process. officials are applauding the tougher sanctions, but the delay

will have less bite because it's 1 1/2 years later. shep? >> shepard: there's word that a witness in special counsel's mueller's investigation has ties to russian. >> that's right. george nader is a top adviser to the united arab emirates and its crown prince. fox news has confirmed that a senior official of obama administration was concerned about a meeting with the trump team and the crown prince. the meeting in question was just after the election because the crown prince is such a strong ally and supporter of the russian president, vladimir putin. the "new york times" is reporting that george nader attended an economic forum organized by officials. fox news has learned that nader used his ties with the russians and especially a russian oligarch to set up a meeting in

the seychelles islands. nader wasn't necessarily a major player in the trump campaign team and many respects he tried to burnish his resume and work experience. >> shepard: thanks, catherine. thanks for being with us. where do you see us in this investigation now, on sanctions and money? >> money is the key. it always has been. with in corruption or fraud type of cause, you follow the money. it's there. robert mueller and his team are locked into this. they always have been. we've seen that they have stopped some individuals at airports to talk about money that may have been sent to the nra and possibly funneled through to the election. so it's always been about money. even the manafort cause is about

that. so you pulled that threat, it's true to any investigation like, this you usually reveal what the trust is. >> shepard: through this process, the kinds of people they interview, the kinds of questions they're asking, those that you have said give us an idea what it is they're doing. you say it's about money. in the russian oligarchs that have been stopped here funneled money to the trump campaign, is this a crime? >> it is. campaigns cannot take anything of value from a foreign government. whether these individualed were associated with the russian government plays out the same way. that's why we see. these are just the allegations with the individuals stopped at the airport recently. if money went to any u.s. organization and it's alleged that it's the nra, it goes into a bank account and money comes out to support this candidate or that candidate. it's essentially been clean, laundered. that's what mueller and his team

are looking at with that discrete component. >> shepard: you mentioned a man named nader that mueller has been focusing on. >> he's an individual, a reporter just went through, who has connections with uae and russia and had very relevant conversations with the trump transition team. trump's son and others, kushner. so all of these things that we've had scatter shots the last few months, they're starting to come together. that's not surprising what seemed to be just different disparate points were going down the same track. influence over elections, specifically russian influence. we're seeing it with the indictments handed down and the funds that have gone through organizations in the u.s. whether or not it assists the trump campaign, that's where the rubber hits the road and there may or may not be an indictment. >> shepard: before we go, how important is -- would

cooperation be from paul manafort and is it your sense he's working towards that? >> cooperation is always key when you put these cases together. there's no doubt that mr. mueller has put a lot of pressure on manafort. he's a 74-year-old man looking at 10 to 15 years in prison. we just saw a lawyer that was convicted and plead guilty to lying to the mueller team get sentenced to 30 days in preson. 30 days isn't bad relatively speaking. manafort is looking at 15 years. so the pressure for him to tell anything is tremendous. >> shepard: it's not like he will get a deal. you have to have something. you have to have gold in that box for them to give you anything, don't you? >> you do have to have information. as the old saying goes, the first one on the bus gets the best seat. if you're going to cooperate, you need to do it soon in order to assist the investigators. if mr. manafort doesn't know anything or willing to talk about anything, he's looking at a dozen years in prison.

mark zuckerberg said he did not do enough to stop people for using the website for the wrong reasons. >> we didn't focus on preventing abuse and thinking how people could use these tools to do harm as well. that goes for fake news, foreign interference of elections and hate speech. we didn't take a broad enough view of what our responsibility is and that was a huge mistake. it was my mistake. >> shepard: zuckerberg is set to testify on capitol hill next week. anita vogel with more. hi, anita. >> mark zuckerberg says the buck stops with him. he says he's not looking to throw anybody else under the bus for his mistake. but turns out the data mining operation was larger than anyone thought. facebook said first it was 50 million years that offered up their personal information to a third party app. but turns out the app took

information from the participant's friends. yesterday mark zuckerberg told reporters in a phone call that he was sorry. >> it's not enough to give people tools to assign a task. we have to ensure that all of their information was protected, too. it's not enough to have rules to protect the information, it's not enough to believe them. we have to ensure that everyone in our ecosystem protects people's information. >> here's a look and who was affected by the data mining. 81% were users in the u.s. with the rest spread out all over the world in places like the philippines, indonesia and the u.k. facebook's net worth has taken a big hit over this. after the last apology, today the stock is up 2.5%. >> shepard: interestingly, kremlin officials has said that facebook has taken down some sites. >> yes. the kremlin says it was a hostile move that amounts to

censorship. this is over facebook's decision to remove hundreds of pages, accounts and ads that were run by the russia-based internet research agency. some of whose employees were indicted for interfering in the 2016 u.s. presidential election. facebook called it a troll factory. mark zuckerberg says this will not happen overnight but it culled take three or four years. we know he will be talking in detail about that next week when he testifies before congress. shepard, it's interesting. congress has been looking to hear from him for a very long time. back to you. >> shepard: anita vogel, live. thanks. president trump is going after amazon and its ceo, jeff bezos again. today's attack, his sixth tweet about amazon since last week. this time he focused on a "washington post" story about u.s.-china trade tensions. the president tweeted the fake news "washington post," amazon's

chief lobbyist, has another of many phony headlines. trump defiant as china ads trade penalties. wrong. should read trump defiant as u.s. ads trade penalties. will end barriers and massive i.p. theft. in other words, intellectual property theft. typically bad reporting. amazon's founder jeff bezos also owns the "washington post." representatives for the paper says he has no influence in the journalistic decisions. amazon's stock has been down. it's up today, $40. the most recent dip came in a series of tweets. gerri willis is live downtown on the corner of wall and broad. hello, gerri. >> that's right, shep. i'm down here at the floor of the stock exchange. we have a nice rally coming on.

details from the west coast after this.

>> shepard: continuing coverage of breaking news. the earthquake in los angeles. a 5.3. struck off the coast of southern california about 40 miles south and west of ventura. i want to show you this area. almost due west of los angeles, santa monica. the store represents the earthquake. it was ten miles deep, which isn't very deep. west of los angeles. these are the santa rosa islands, santa cruz island, the

channel islands here. so a 5.3. trace gallagher, did you feel it out there? >> we felt it good. lasted about ten seconds or so. felt like a good earthquake. 5.0 is what it first came out of the usgs and upgraded to 5.3. if you drew a line off the coast of malibu, that's where it was. nine miles deep. not really deep but not really shallow. the depth is important. the deeper they are, the more widespread they are felt. the shallower they are, the more damage they cause. this was felt not only here. we're on the east side of santa monica, about four miles from the coast. we felt it good here but they felt in long beach and burbank. burbank from where we are is the better part of 25 miles away. so this thing was felt over a good distance. we just contacted the lapd. they're kind of going around, checking for infrastructure damage right now. so far there are no reports of

any damage or injuries at all. but you have these crews out there. it's been awhile since we've been through this routine. it's been a few years for earthquakes. for context, this is 5.3. not huge but could be. the last one that hit, 6.9. the earth ridge had widespread damage so right now, things look to be fine. there's no tsunami warning because of this. it was off the coast in the channel islands, not big enough to create a tsunami warning. the shallower it is, you shake a blanket. and that ripple effect is what does the damage in the shallow earthquak earthquakes. this was fairly deep. doesn't seem like it's causing

any damage at all around southern california. shook us up pretty good for about 10, 12 seconds, shep. >> shepard: all right, trace. wonderful place to be till this happens. rick reichmuth is tracking it for us. rick, moderate, huh? >> yeah, moderate. good news that it was offshore in the channel islands. so you have more distance for the strongest of the shake. trace was just saying, not strong enough for a tsunami. usually about a 7.0 plus to create a significant shepard smith. we're below that. trace was just saying, it's been awhile. it was march 28, 2014. so just over four years ago of the last week. that was a 5.1 in the l.a. area. caused 10.8 million in damage. that could have been a comparable situation, this one fortunately offshore in the channel islands. hope untilly didn't cause any damage. >> shepard: hope not.
