tv   Shepard Smith Reporting  FOX News  September 10, 2018 12:00pm-1:00pm PDT

12:00 pm
and, he tweeted something on friday after george papadopoulos was sentenced. he said 14 days for 2 million. >> i would have to go back and talk and look at that. >> the price tag of the russian investigation? because if so that's highly inflated. >> again, i'd have to check tha that. >> going to pennsylvania tomorrow. what's he plan to say and what does he plan to accomplish with the/11 address. >> certainly the focus will be on remembering that horrific day and remembering the lives that were lost and certainly honoring the individuals who were not only lost that day but also put their lives on the line to help in that process. he will be there and the vice president will be here in washington, d.c. at the pentagon. david? >> sarah, thank you very much. i'm assuming have you read bob woodward's book. i know a lot of us have.
12:01 pm
can we expect, other than repeating denials from joe mattis joe kelly. can we expect the white house to give up all the things are wrong. >> i think that would be a complete and utter waste of our time. >> hold on a second that goes to this quinnipiac poll out today 55% of americans believe that the op-ed writer in the times is right and the president is getting a 60% negative rating on honest and truthful. if 60% think he is dishonest person. does the president think he could win a credibility battle with bob woodward who is august member of the press corps and helped take president nixon down. how we win that battle? >> once again i would rather take the actual on record account from people who have here who have been working in this build hog have intracketted with the business day in and day out like general mattis, general kelly and like myself. not disgruntled former employees who refuse to put their name on things when
12:02 pm
they come out to attack the president. i think those are far more credible sources and certainly far more reliable voices within this administration and that can accurately tell what's taking place in the building behind me. >> is the president still a credible voice? >> absolutely. john. >> thanks a lot, sarah. you said a lot the president has said a lot about the publication of the op-ed. have you called it the president has called it the betrayal. have you called it an act of disloicket. but the president has mentioned quite a few times even here on this briefing has called on the department of justice to investigate the publication of this op-ed. there is no violation of the criminal code that goes along with the publication of this op-ed. so, i'm a little curious as to what it ask that the president believes may have been violated in the law as it relates to the publication of this op-ed. >> once again, we would consider someone who is actively trying to undermine the executive branch of our
12:03 pm
government inappropriate and something certainly to cause concern. and they should take a look at it. >> what's the criminal violation? >> once again, we are just sayinsaying this gives a great level of concern and they should look into it. >> it's not a violation of the law. just having a concern is not a violation of law. >> i'm not an attorney. that's the department of justice to make that determination. and we're asking them to look into it and make that determination. and they certainly are fully capable of doing that. but, someone actively trying to undermine the duly elected president and the entire executive branch of government, that seems quite problematic to me and something they should take a look at. john? >> thank you, sarah. just to try to specify this a bit. is the white house treating the anonymous op-ed writer as a full-fledged breach of security matter and is the fbi investigating both staff and their means of communications? cell phones and computers and the like? >> i'm not aware of that level. that wouldn't be something i
12:04 pm
would be a part of. but, certainly, as i just told your colleague, we think that there is a concern here and it should be looked into. david? >> one other question. >> go ahead, john. >> did the obviously the whole world watched when higher when the presidential candidate was stabbed last week. has the president called or sent any statement to his family. >> i'm not aware that the president has. but i do believe members of the administration have reached out. i will work to get you the specifics of who that was. david? >> what does the president make of all of this talk of the 25th amendment and some of what he hears on media outlets regarding the word crazy talk? there is a lot of -- seems like there is a lot of talk about that on many of the mainstream media outlets. >> i think we would say it's about as ridiculous as most of bob woodward's book. the fact that that's actually being honestly discussed is ridiculous and, frankly, it's insulting to the nearly 62 million people that came out and
12:05 pm
overwhelmingly supported this president, voted for him, supported his agenda and are watching and cheering as he successfully implements that agenda every single day. >> sarah? >> thanks, sarah. can you get a sense of what documents the president is considering for declassification some time in the next two weeks and when, exactly can we expect those? >> when we have specifics on that we will let you know. >> can you give us a sense of what the documents are though. >> i can't get into that right now, but when we have an announcement on it, i will certainly let you know. >> sarah, i wants to ask you about the middle east peace talks going to close the palestinian mission here in washington. and the palestinian ambassador to the u.s. accuses this country of murdering the peace process and undermining its role in the peace process. the state department says it's not retreating from our efforts to achieve everlasting peace. how is the united states still an honest brokener this project? >> certainly we have been very upfront throughout the process and the fact that we want to see peace.
12:06 pm
we want to have those conversations. we want to help broker that deal. and going to continue pushing forward. beyond that i don't have anything specific on it today. >> closed the office, the palestinians are saying that the u.s. can no longer be an honest broker. this is another example they say the u.s. is too aligned with israel. is that not the case? >> certainly we have a great deal of support with our friend and ally in israel. but, again, we are as committed today as we have ever been to the peace process. >> sarah? >> thank you. on friday, the president talked about -- india. what is he talking about? what kind of identity in independent i can't. >> i know a number of administration officials recently came back from india. they expressed their willingness to negotiate new and better trade deals and those conversations at the beginning stages and we will certainly keep you posted as we get further in the process. >> i want to follow up on steven's question on the peace process here.
12:07 pm
and you say the door continues to be open yet you are still working on it. is it realistic for the president to believe can he actually achieve peace in the middle east in his first term in office as he has promised to do something his son-in-law is working on as well when the administration is taking steps that palestinian themselves have said do not help? >> again, certainly we are very much committed to the process and we are still hopeful we can get there. >> said the administration would sanction the international criminal court which is a move that seems to be a reversion to sort of bush era policies. is it fair to say this administration is now shifting to more hard line stance towards the icc if it is so fox news deckless then why is the u.s. so concerned? >> certainly the president is committed to defending our national sovereignty and security interests which would include using any means necessary to protect our citizens. those of our allies from unjust prosecution by the icc. their announcement that they would consider opening an investigation into the, among other parties, u.s. soldiers in afghanistan, is a threat to american
12:08 pm
sovereignty. and if they proceed with that, then the united states would consider those options that ambassador bolton laid out today. >> why the concern? if the icc is, in fact, dead to you as john bolton said today, then what is the concern that the u.s. has if in fact they do not -- >> -- they told us they are on the verge of making that decision and we are letting them know our position ahead of them making that position. take one lalings question. david? >> sarah, the editor of the global times, which is beijing's premier foreign policy outlet, wrote on twitter today the president blamed north china on north korea quite a bit. now that there seems to be some improvement in north korea's stance, does china deserve some credit? he suggested that they do. what do you think about that? do they deserve credit believe china is acting better? >> i think the president deserves the credit in this process. he has been the lead voice and the one that put the initial pressure on north korea. certainly the president has very publicly expressed his
12:09 pm
gratitude towards president xi for the role that they played. he would have liked to have seen them continue to step up and do more. frankly, we would still like them to step up and do more. but, the credit in this process at this point where we are i would say belongs to president trump. and we're going to continue to hopefully work with president xi and his team and his administration to continue making progress. >> given that you are scheduling a second meeting it, sounded like with kim jong un did the president believe that it's really he has to negotiate this out almost personally with kim given that once two leaders have left things seem to go poorly and they have to reschedule another meeting? >> i don't know that it's gone poorly considering steps have been taken by the north koreans to show. >> signs of progress. >> but other steps have been taken. so i wouldn't say it's gone poorly. at the end of the day, ultimately, it's always going to be best when you can have the two leaders sit down, particularly from the north korea side as we know most of the decisions are
12:10 pm
going to have to be run through kim jong un, certainly he is going to want to talk to his counterpart in president trump. we think it's important and we are glad that we are making progress. thanks so much, guys. have a great day. >> shepard: press secretary sarah huckabee sanders wrapping up today's briefing, i'm shepard smith in new york. the white house continues to deal with the fallout from a one-two punch. there is the "new york times" op-ed that a mystery senior administration official wrote about a resistance inside the administration. and now a new accusation from the journalist, bob woodward, whose book comes out tomorrow. it quotes defense secretary james mattis on the left here saying that president trump has an understanding of a fifth or sixth grader and the white house chief of staff john kelly on the right here calling the president an idiot. they have both denied that they made those statements. today bob woodward responded. >> they are not telling the truth. >> that's lying. >> look, what's going on
12:11 pm
here and my old boss at "the washington post" ben bradley, the great editor, used to say truth emerges. sometimes it takes time. these people, these are political statements to protect their jobs. >> shepard: well, president trump has called woodward's book a work of fix. now, the president says he may write a book of his own. the chief white house correspondent john roberts is live in the briefing room. >> you asked about this anonymous op-ed today, john. >> i did. the first time we have been able to actually talk with the press secretary in almost three weeks. good to see her back at the podium. the anonymous op-ed in the "new york times" has been something consuming a lot of the president's time. the staff is trying to move on to other issues. the staff keeps tweeting about it and talking about it of course, the vice president was out there as well as a couple other administration officials yesterday talking about it as well. the president really kicked this into high gear on board air force one traveling from
12:12 pm
billings, montana to fargo, north dakota last week when he said he would like the attorney general jeff sessions to launch an investigation into who this person is. i asked sarah sanders at the briefing earlier today on what basis we ask the department of justice to look into it. listen here. >> is there anything about what was published by the "new york times" that would warrant an investigation by the department of justice? >> certainly if there is an individual, whether or not since we don't know who they are if that individual is in meetings that were national security is being discussed or other important topics, and they are attempting to undermine the executive branch, that would certainly be problematic and something that the department of justice should look into. >> so, here's the issue here, shep, and i think we probably talked about this last week, that it didn't look like there was anything of a classified nature that was disclosed in the op-ed itself or the publishing of it. but, what the president said he was worried about was that if the person who is
12:13 pm
responsible for that op-ed had some sort of high level security clearance, that he could be in very sensitive meetings about china, about north korea, about syria, about other issues and if there was somebody in those meetings listening to highly classified top skeet information he didn't want him to undermine. that's the premise the president is working on. in the issue of lie getting r. detector test the president said he would be willing to submit himself to one. sarah sanders said there are no lie detector tests being administrated or at this time. >> shepard: talking about upon woodwardens book and not a flattering way. >> no. the president tweeted out this morning he thinks this is a work of fiction. sarah sanders was asked if because there were so many falsehoods or inaccuracies as the white house has been betraying it would the president sue bob woodward. listen here. >> is president trump considering filing a lawsuit against woodward? >> certainly keep you posted on that. but i think we have been
12:14 pm
extremely clear from the beginning that many of the book's sources have already spoken out to refute a couple of them chief of staff john kelly. aggressively pushed back and as general mattis aggressivelily pushing back in the claims. john dowd also pushing back against the things that are attributed to him. and a number of people have come out and said woodward never even reached out to corroborated statements that were attributed to them. >> i think the bottom line, shep, not much to come of this, too difficult to prove a negative. meanwhile that hurricane churning off the east coast, that's where the white house now will be turning its focus. shep? >> shepard: john roberts in the briefing room. thank you. and john heading into breaking news minutes ago major evacuation orders have just gone down along the carolina coast. sure to have hundreds and hundreds of families headed higher ground that as a monster storm takes aim at the east coast. threatens to bring devastation to areas not

12:18 pm
coast. millions of americans are now bracing for the storm. mandatory evacuations already and for the outer banks of north carolina and breaking news now on fox news channel moments ago the governor of south carolina announced a mandatory evacuation for the entire coast of south carolina. a mandatory evacuation for the entire coast of south carolina by noon tomorrow. forecasters say florence could be catastrophic. that's the description from the national hurricane center. the word their forecasters are using is catastrophic. first it, reports this storm, which right now is here, and huge, larger than the carolinas at this moment, and headed directly in that direction. it could pack, they say, by landfall, bin winds of 150 miles per hour in isolated areas. that the hurricane center is powerful enough to flatten homes and snap power poles. in addition, once the hurricane comes ashore,
12:19 pm
wherever it comes ashower, it is then expected to move inland and then stall. that's according to the hurricane center. the storm will stall somewhere along the east coast sit and spin and dump rain for days as much as three feet of rain in some spots. what does that mean? well, according to the national hurricane center, that means life-threatening flooding could spread for hundreds of miles with power outages and blocked escape escae routes. these shots coming to us from the international space station. florence was a category 2 hurricane just this morning but strengsd an strengthened any category 4 by early afternoon and forecasters at the national hurricane center tell us it is still gaining steam. so the time to plan is right now if you live anywhere in inned areas. adam klotz is live in the extreme weather center. what are you seeing? >> shepard, continuing to
12:20 pm
see this storm intensify. you were talking about it category 2 storm this morning. here it spins now nice formed i wall still way away from the u.s. coast. south of bermuda at this point. it's got a long way to travel but it stays intense the entire day. burntly a category 4 and you look at the track stays a category 4 storm this entire way. now, the timing on this system currently projections have it just off the coast of the carolinas by thursday morning. at this point things are beginning to deteriorate for the carolinas before eventually running on shore likely with that same intensity, that same strength. that strength a category 4 hurricane which means winds of 130 up to 156 miles per hour. it does look as though we are going to be on the higher end of this so close to 150 mile-per-hour winds when this makes landfall. again, likely late thursday into early friday morning. that's the current time frame with this system. generally, you get a storm where this is sitting this far south of bermuda. it turns and heads north and make not landfall at all that's what would usually happen. that's not what is happening
12:21 pm
this time because of a big high pressure system that is forcing this system to stay a little farther to the south and push it off towards the west. these are our tropical models and you see a very tight line generally this far away we have so many models they begun to diverge this bringing up along the coast. the only question is once we get to this position, shep, is it going to run inland? is it going to spin off the coast? is it going to make landfall and then spin? there is still a couple more days until we have a better idea knowing that. >> shepard: reading from the national hurricane center center they think this storm is definitely a threat to inland areas. >> that is going to be a threat. rain if it lands on shore and begins to spin we could see some of these totals pile up. spots getting up to 2 feet of rain or more it could be a real problem. wind plus rain blue storm surge, shep. >> shepard: adam klotz in the extreme weather center. we will see a lot of him in the days ahead. just in to fox news channel, the television host and wife of less moonves a no show on her live program in the last

12:54 pm
from a much stronger response from the united states than previous strikes that from john bolton what he told reporters today after we got word that bashar assad signed off on new chemical attack against his opposition. that's according to corporate cousins' reporting at the "wall street journal." it reports that the attack is planned for idlib province in the last major strong hold in syria. there it is on the map. a top u.n. official warned an attack on idlib would result in the biggest loss of life in this century. benjamin hall in our middle east newsroom tonight. benjamin? >> yeah, hi, shep, on numerous occasions president trump has warned bashar assad not to use chemical weapons but he has gone ahead and done it despite the consequences. that's why there are growing fears he might use them again for the third time. this offensive starts in idlib, we are hearing from a few sources including u.s. envoy to syria and other intelligence facilities there is mounting evidence
12:55 pm
that bashar al-assad has given the green light for his military to use chlorine gas again. twice in the last couple of years the syrian government has used sarin against civilians and twice the u.s. has responded launching tomahawk strikes and taking out sarin airfields. some are argued that assad and allies are no longer afraid of the u.s. response. past u.s. strikes have not really altered the directions or outcome of the war. it's russia pointing the finger at the rebels or is it saying it's them using the chlorine not assad muddying the water before it's even started. shep? >> shepard: u.s. also warned about syrians use of conventional weapons against its own people. >> yeah. and so often the case that is the chemical weapons which get all the headlines but it's the conventional weapons that do all the killing. that's what we are seeing already. this offensive started in a big way with russian air support and warplanes bombing as well. over the weekend over two dozen civilians were killed. among them children and a baby girl while two
12:56 pm
hospitals were also bombed and dozens of indiscriminate barrel bombs also dropped. the feared exodus everyone worried about has started more than a thousand families had to flee from southern idlib toward the turkish border that's living in camps. 3.5 million in turkey 3 million civilians in idlib. turkey saying it can't handle anymore. moved its troops up to the border with syria. this offensive escalating in some different ways. while it may be the last major offensive in the civil war it may be the worse. shep? >> shepard: right after this newscast catch us on facebook watch for a fox news update. we'll stream it live as we do each day at this time on facebook watch. home screen and just a few minutes. you can watch it always there live or on demand on facebook watch. should news break out, we'll break in because breaking news changes everything on fox news channel.
