george h.w. bush. we'll get to some news, the big news about g20. but first, the president has a chance to say good-bye to our 4 isst president as a week of mourning begins today. >> tomorrow he'll lie in state in the u.s. capital before being laid to rest in texas. >> casey is live with this week's schedule. good morning. reporter: good morning to you guys. right now the former president is here at the lewis and sons funeral home no houston as preparations are under way in washington and texas and people get ready to prepare to say good-bye to former president george herbert walker bush. and just up the road from us last night at his museum and library in college station texas, folks gating, all walks of life, lit candles, said

and a great spirit. set aside of everything in politics, a good man fighting for decency of our country rnl and what struck me also is the former prime minister of great britain, he said that not only did he pioneer telephone diplomacy but he created a coalition not only based on their international interests but because these other world leaders wanted to do it for him personally but he was the only person to come visit 10 downing street and shake the hand of the doorman too. >> he was prepared for it. he had been in the ens envoy of china. we found on interesting video at the bush family website. this is ten years after he had been elected, several years after he lost his reelection bottle to bill clinton in 1992 and he talked about wanting to live a really long life.

>> dear kids, this letter is about aging. last year there was only a tiny sense of time left. i want to put this aging on hold for a while now. i don't expect to be on the a team anymore but i want to play golf with you and i want to fish or throw shoes and i want to rejoice in your victories and i want to be there for you if you get a bad bounce in life and no doubt you will seas get rough. if you need me i'm here. devote edlyvotedly, dad. >> to give you a little glimpse, when i covered bush 43 he would go home to see his parents at walker's point and at the media we would rent rooms at this little hotel. it is so small there. there was a hotel just across the water from their come bound. we could set up our camer camerd

gets pictures of them. the first thing he does, he took off the suit and comes out in shorts and a t-shirt. he felt so at home with family. that is the biggest legacy of all for george h.w. bush, great father, grandfather and husband. >> what we saw, that really was, i firmly believe, his most beloved title was dad of every office he held and every position that he just absolutely thrived in, it was really the title of father and then grandfather and great grandfather. that that were his personal tributes. i heard an interview from one of his grandsons who said he had a bad day, he accidentally crashed the boat, took the car without permission and all of these things and president h.w. bush wrote him a note said i'm here with you, it's okay and it's days like these that let you know it's family first. he was becoming so emotional

recounting the story, how much it meant for him. when he thought he was in trouble. >> i saw that interview. >> exactly when he was carried by his grandfather. >> we'll continue to talk about the life anlegacy of george h.w. bush all morning long. big news yesterday at the g20 summit and the focus was on the meeting of our president donald trump and xi jinping of china. what will happen going forward on trade. >> you say they got a deal? i've read so in stories saying the president will never get a deal with china. this is a fool's air rand. >> this is what president trump hads to say after meeting extensextensively in buenos air. if it happens it goes down as one of the largest deals ever made. it will have an impact on

farming, ag chul chur, commuters, every type of product. china will be buying tremendous amounts of products from our country. the deal basically is a 90-day pause. because on the first of this year we were supposed to take tariffs from 10% to 25%. >> we're halting that. >> halting that, creating a 90-day window. in exchange there will be a loosening, an opportunity for china -- china will be buying more u.s. products. >> it's going to help farmers and others here. the big picture is you have a bz who, let's remember, it's been overshadoweshadowed about all or talk about the life and legacy of george h.w. bush. but this sum submit started with the president getting a victory. to be sure they still have details to worked out. but the g20 started with a major

deal with canada and mention coo anmexico andthen the g20 ends, y back to buenos aires, he's at the white house, saying that over a steak dinner he and the chinese president has a halt to the trade war. this is a big deal. the markets are likely to react. you have so many critics saying that the trade battle was foolish and instead he's winning on a lot of this. >> another important thing to come out of the meeting is the fact that china has agreed to say tha that is a opioid. a tremendous impact on us. to me that indicate that that conversation between the two of them was really large in scope, broad in scope. >> we knew we couldn't get a comprehensive agreement but the 90-day pause says maybe we can restructure the trade agreement. turning now to your

before specifically. i would say this is a pause in the trade war or trade skirmish whatever you want to call it. i don't think the president thinks it's full-blown trade war. but remember we have a couple of goals here at the end. part of it is yes, salutary the trade imbalance that the president was worried about. but from the moment that the president announced the tariffs, i guess gosh it's been six or eight months ago at this point now, it morphed into what is not just a trade and economic discussion but a broader national security discussion. what people don't realize, i've talked to my democrat friends about this, is how much the president has changed the foreign policy consensus in washington on both parties on china. for the past eight years -- this is republican and democrats, criticizing everybody here. we've just sort of watched china rise. we've been distracted in the middle east for a good reason. yes, we have the trade imbalance. we're in a full blown cyber war with them.

>> let's go through the tbood and bad. the good it sundays to me is this is a president who's done what he promised in the campaign and stood strong against china even amid people in his own party. this is a big deal. >> we haven't had the stomach for this fight. from an economic perspective, the pause that we have now is going to be great for the markets this week. >> it's weighing on stocks. >> you are going to see investors happy about this. it's been weighing on plfer companies earning. on manufacture companies. they're looking at a million, if not a billion dollars in costs due to these. i think you're going to see stocks happy, you're going to see corporate earnings happy. all of that is positive. however, this is not a full-blown detente. >> it may be good for your 401(k) this week. people wondering about this. on the other side of this it's a

it. this is what international business people do. there was no money transferred. this building was never done. big deal. there's nothing here. by the way, it's not illegal to look at doing business overseas when you're an international businessman. >> you argue that deep state is undermining the presidency and we wanted to know if it's growing, if it's staying the same or if there's a reduction in it from your contacts still there. >> i'm glad that the president is getting rid of people who are part of the bureaucracy who want to stop his agenda. but it is very real. not only the holdovers from the obama administration trying to stop this president. but we have seen people from within the white house trying to stop his agenda from going forward and that has to stop. look. ed a it relates to bob mueller and this is very important. the "washington examiner" outlined that fusion gps was paying journalists to write stories that the fbi was placing and then using those story to go

committed. but he had nothing to do with donald trump. now you've got a story that says he went to see julian assange. there's no evidence of it. no passport documents of it. no evidence that he went to the embassy. paul is a bad guy but young he want to see julian assange. >> what's the end game on bob mueller. i get what you're saying, he's an international businessman who wanted to do a deal and it didn't happen. what about what michael cohen is say in the court papers in january of 2016 he was consulting with the president or then candidate and his legal team and in early 2017 when he was president of the united states, cohen goes to the senate intel committee and before he testifies to what he says is a lie, he says he consulted with the president, his family and legal team. why wasn't the truth told then, is my question. >> mike sl a serial liar. we know that. i call him a rat in my book. i've been in front of the senate

intelligence committee and the house intelligence committee. never did i consult with those people. by the way, when you tell the truth, you have nothing to hide from. you go in and tell everybody the truth and you don't have to recant your statements. when i went in front of the house and senate intel committees on three occasions, i simply told the truth. when you tell the truth, you don't get in trouble. michael is a liar. he lied on his irs forms, lied on his bank statements. and what michael is going to go to jail for has nothing to do with the elections >> corey lewandowski, thanks for coming in. big updates on the migrant caravan including a convicted killer amongst the migrants. while a teenager literally tries to dig to get across the border. our griff jenkins is embedded in the care vap next. >>caravan next. what happenem to be dropped the ring in a

we are back with a fox news awe letter. a big update from the migrant caravan. a convicted killer discovered amongst them. >> griff jenkins is with the caravan in tijuana with the very latest. reporter: good morning, guys. one week ago today where i'm

sitting another here at the port of entry, they rallied and rushed the border. they called for a rush yesterday but it failed to produce any results in part perhaps the tijuana officials here, tell them if they were spotted they would be deported on sight. meanwhile that murderer, 46-year-old ramirez spent 16 years in a honduran prison for murder. he was released four months ago. and one mile east of where i'm standing the border patrol apprehended him. he was traveling with two other members of the caravan. and in this photo, take look at this. two teens digging their way under the convenience just west of where i'm standing. they were spotted by border patrol, ran back and are back amongst the caravan for as best we know. but you know, we mentioned the new president, lopez obrador, he was take over. he's seen as being favorable to immigrants. we talked yesterday to the

leader here and he had a message for the new mexican president. here's what he said. >> we hope that lopez obrador is definitely a president that is sensible, will find sensible solutions and will try to accommodate both issues. this is a human rights crisis. reporter: meanwhile tijuana's mayor wants him arrested for bringing them here in the first place. and finally secretary of state mike pompeo in washington meets with obrador's new prime minister. no doubt they'll talk about the caravan and what to do with the humanitarian crisis on the border. >> thanks for that report, griff. here to react to that, let's bring in tom holman, fox news contributor and former acting i.c.e. director. thanks for being here. your reaction to the current -- it almost feels like a stalemate

at the border. they've taken some of the migrants from a stadium, moving them to a more sanitary government shelter. how do you see things playing out, is mexico doing their part on that side of the border. >> first of all, that spokesman needs to be reminded that aiding and abetting illegal people in the united states is a felony. i hope they're looking at that whole organization, their leadership. the new president in mexico has to do the right thing for our country and his country. this whole caravan has caused havoc on his border could have been avoided if mexico stepped up and did what they should have done at the southern border. i think they tried but they didn't put enough effort to it. you can't tell me that caravan members armembers were able to h through the mexican police that easily. he has to control his southern border. >> tom, it's our understanding that part of the apprehension or discovery of these criminals

amongst the caravan is due to the thorough work by the border patrol and in part from the interviews, the information that he gave. can you speak about what would happen if they weren't forthcoming and he didn't have papers on him relating to his prior prison sentence. what happens then? >> we verified there were 500 criminals in the first caravan. and it's -- i'm not able to discuss with how they come up with that data. it's a law enforcement technique. i know how they're doing it. we've done it in the past. it's solid information that we're getting from within the caravan based on a lot of information by metrics and graphic. look, regardless of whether they want to come forward or not in their criminal history, we're going to find it through our other methods. we've verified 500. this isn't talking about the hundreds more we can't verify, there's a suspicion but we have yet to veer fi. sere fie.

verify. >> that seems like vindication for the president who is warning about that fact wheny u have others saying this is no criminals and this is not an up vegas. you can react to that. but i want to ask you about the homeland security department asking the pentagon to extend the border deployment through at least january. there are a lot of critics in congress saying this is pretty expensive for american taxpayers. can you explain what they're doing and whether it's worth the taxpayer money? >> of course. first of all, president trump has been right 100% of the time when it comes to border security. everything he's done on the border makes sense from the perspective of law enforcement, from the perspective of the rule of law and as a 34-year career law enforcement officer who has done this for years, he has been 100% accurate. and the democrats don't like that. they hate it. but as far as his move to send dod to the border, that was a

genius move. not only does he control the illegal entry of this caravan but by doing that, by sending dod to the border, he's infuriating the drug cartels. i've said for years, illegal immigration funds the drug cartels. d objection d is on the border, there's more people at the port of entry. the cartels can't move their product like they usually do and that's why the cartels are getting frustrated and that's why you see them upset with this president and dod, and they're upset with mexico. >> stopping them from poisoning our children is obviously a big big big priority of this president. we appreciate you pointing it out. turning now to your headlines, president trump is meeting with top democrats this week in hopes of preventing a government shutdown. talks will likely center around the border wall. meanwhile, a high-ranking congressman tells our own pete

shortchanged on their forever gi bill benefits, thanks to a computer glitch. and reports say the va was never intending to pay them back. what some say. here to react, dan caldwell, a retired marine and iraq war vet. i've seen some big headlines that say vets are going to be shortchanged on their gi bill benefits. we know there were changes to the gi bill. walk our viewers through what the truth is of this issue. >> so what happened is last year president trump signed into law a really great bill called the forever gi bill. it updated the gi bill and strengthened it. however the va bureaucracy, particularly in the va veteran's benefit administration wasn't able to update its systems in time for this current semester so they could properly pay veterans on time the benefits that they earned, particularly their housing stipend which veterans use to pay for things like food and rent. you alluded to the v a's computer system.

they're using a 50-year-old computer system to process this benefits. think about that. 50 years ago the computers could take up a room the size of your fox studio in new york. the computer system crashed and thousands of veterans across the country haven't gotten the money they owed and some veterans are facing real stress, having trouble paying bills because they can't get the money that they earned through the service of their country. >> it's almost like no good deed goes unpunished. the trump administration passes the gi bill that's supposed to increase access but as a result of glitches in the system it's not working. here's what robert wilkie had to say about the benefit benefits. he said to clear up any confusion want i want to make it clear that every post-89/11 veteran will be made whole for their academic year based on the forever gi bill rates, not the post-9/11gi rates.

they're eventually made whole but it's going to bring some temporary pain and that is still an antiquated bureaucracy. >> that's right. this isn't the first time this has happened. when they rolled out the post-9/11 bill in 2009, thi thee was similar issues. this affected me personally. it goes into how deep and systemic the problems are within the va and this really isn't the fault of the current administration. certainly not secretary wilkie who came on after a lot of decisions were made. but it's on them to fix it. >> so much of what matters around the department is perception, same with the mission act and implementation of choice. veterans are being told they have new choice options but the rule haven't been written. fean you get ahead of yourself too much, veterans wonder why the choice hasn't been delivered as smoothly ye yet as people wa. >> it's incredibly important that we need to pay attention to

how ever piece of legislation after it's passed is implemented. it's great when we pass the bill but now you have to get the va bureaucracy on board with it, whether it's the forever gi bill or the mission act. you have to unfortunately fight the bureaucracy at the administrative state to make these things work. and that's critical at the va over the next year. >> we're paying a lot of attention to the mission bill and the gi bill. president trump delivering on yet another promise of putting and a half the on the ng block. president ronald reagan was among one of george h.w. bush's friends. our next guest worked for president reagan and calls president bush the ultimate wing man. she joins us next. ♪

about -- we were making it a big deal about when bill clinton came to office he found a wonderful letter from bush saying your success is our success. and you point out that same kind of team work was exhibited by bush 41 when he lost the presidency to reagan but then put that aside to work with him as vp. >> absolutely. i think they both model civility and decency and kindness and how these two gentlemen who were political adversaries could become such a terrific political partnership. i knew president bush in the context of ronald reagan and that's where i saw him being very comfortable in that role pretty much as ronald reagan's wingman. he loved that, embraced that and we saw that in so many contexts, whether it was the berlin wall comes down, knowing it wasn't about them, but about the german people. one particular story that i love that's such a fond memory of president bush is he came to see

president reagan post-presidency in his los angeles office. here he comes as president of the united states, george bush, the sitting president, he in deference comes all the way to los angeles. we watched this long motorcade coming across the streets of l.a. and george bush walks into president reagan's office in a loud voice he says, where is hi president. and what a wonderful moment that showdz, here is this man the sitting president of the united states, had such respect and admiration for president reagan. >> you know, peggy, they were as you said, political rivals. what was the break fle break thn the development of their personal relationship as friends. >> they both saw the bigger picture. they loved this country. they loved the people of this country. they believed in america. they had a great sense of public service. they knew that was more important than anything else.

george bush certainly being a man raised in the environment of public service and committed to that was willing to put aside any sort of personal adversity. he was very humble in approaching his role because he saw the bigger picture and knew that it was about america and not about him. >> peggy, during their weekly thursday lunches that they had for years, did anything arise out of that, any stories that were above that kind of working relationship meeting at all? >> well, it was interesting because there certainly was that political connection over the course of the years. but post-presidency when i worked for president reagan, i saw the personal connection and how that friendship continued. and i watched president reagan especially, a man who had been his vice president for all of those years, be very careful about not back seat driving his own presidency was very respectful. he knew unless you were seated in the oval office you never had all of the information that you needed. >> thank you as you said, they both loved

this country and that came through. >> thank you so much. bush 41's former chief of staff is here to share his memories, plus dr. gorka, stuart varney all here live coming up. yesss! linzess treats adults with ibs with constipation or chronic constipation. linzess can help relieve your belly pain, and lets you have more frequent and complete bowel movements. linzess is not a laxative. it helps you get ahead of your recurring constipation. do not give linzess to children less than 6 and it should not be given to children 6 to less than 18, it may harm them. do not take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain, especially with bloody or black stools. the most common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes severe. if it's severe, stop taking linzess and call your doctor right away. other side effects include gas, stomach-area pain, and swelling.

we lost a president who truly was a wonderful person, a wonderful man, a great man. a terrific guy. he will be missed. >> the nation will have a chance to say their final good-byes to our 41st president george h.w. bush as a weak of mourning begins today. >> served with america with distinction all of his life. >> that true patriot, george bush. he taught us how to live a life without regrets. >> big news yesterday at the g20 summit. the president and his chinese counter part president shepart o

590-reprieve. a big update from the migrant caravan, a convicted killer discovered amongst them. >> he was traveling with two other members of the caravan. >> regardless of whether they want to come forward, we're going to find them with our other methods. >> remember the old song "i'll be there ready when you are" if you need me, i'm here. ♪ ♪ >> come in. welcome in on a sunday morning. thanks for being here. >> thanks so much, guys. >> and ed is here too. >> we missed you. >> i missed you, too. >> well, we've been obviously honoring the life and legacy of george h.w. bush. larry gatlin who is a friend is coming up in the show, a friend of the president. he's going to talk about his

memories. and there was a washington post reporter pointing out that george h.w. bush was allye while william taft was alive. taft was alive when van burr ran was alive. van burr ra buren was alive when washington was alive. >> it's a great point. we're actually not that far away from the founding. we're a very young republic. and some people when you memorialize them, the second day it seems like time to move on. some people, their life is so rich and interesting that it almost get more interesting. >> absolutely. >> that's how i feel about george h.w. bush. >> he put country first anfamily first. >andfamily first. >> they were touched by him, his political accomplishments but also the human quality, the human connections, all of the lives he touched as a man. >> the nation is going to have a chance to say their final good-bye to the 41st president.

>> tomorrow he will be lying in state in the u.s. capital before being laid to rest back home in texas. >> casey steeg sl live in houston with how the late president will be honored this week. reporter: good morning to you. neil bush is reflecting on his father's life. he's the fourth of six children and he was by his father's side when he took his final breaths at his house on friday, alongside doctors, clergy and close family friends, james and susan baker. kneeneil says it was a blessingo see his dad at peace. >> they love the people here. anybody that would ask me dad, even when he was in a wheelchair for a picture, he would stop and graciously, you know, he would treat everybody in houston the same with the same amount of respect. he loved houston. and i should say, i'm personally grateful and i think i speak on

behalf of the bush family when i say that we're grateful for sylvester turner and the incredible respect he showed to my mother upon her passing. and there's a great plan for thursday's funeral. reporter: last night the life of george h.w. bush was honored at a memorial service which took place at his presidential library and museum in college station, texas. and there will be plenty more opportunities for the public to say good-bye to president bush in the coming days. tomorrow morning he will be flown from houston to d.c. where mr. bush will lie in state at the u.s. capital. on wednesday, a national day of mourning. his state funeral will be held at the national cathedral. then it is back to his beloved texas where his bodily will lie in repose wednesday night into thursday morning at st. martin's episcopal church in houston

where another funeral service will take place before he is taken by train back up to college station to his presidential library where he will be laid to rest in a private ceremony back with his beloved barbara and daughter once again. >> also of note, the flags will be flown -- the president has ordered flags to be flown at half-staff for 30 days which i will be doing when i grow home today. your kids loo ak the that flag and say, why is it low, dad. the opportunity to share with him. this is why he revere what he did, all part of the civic ritual that's important in this. to pass it to the next generation. >> we cover these folks in politics and you don't always get to see the human side. he had james baker and husband secretary of state, long time political, these were two people, there's a human side to

them. they were very close right up to the final moments of president bush's life. the "the new york times" with the remarkable story saying as the end neared on friday night, his son george bush was put on the speakerphone to say good-bye. he told him he had been a wonderful dad and that he loved him. i love you too, mr. bush told his son. those were his last words. james baker was the one who set up that phone call. he was in the room in houston with former president bush. and when he arrived bush 41 said were before that phone call, he said to james baker, his long time friend whereby where are we going bake, and baker said we're going to heaven and mr. bush said, that's where i want to go. >> not many things you say give me the chills. but that one does. it really does. i mean i love you son. and famously george h.w. bush thought it would be jeb that would be president. turns out it was w that was. obviously a lot of love for his entire family. but those intimate last moments

when you knew he was at peace where he was going and who he's going to join, i think everyone could connect to that. >> eight months ago when he lost his beloved barbara there was a decline. but he said of course i want to stop aging. i want to keep skydiving. he wanted one last summer at his beloved walkers point and he got that. >> so president trump has honored his predecessor in office but still had to move forward with the business of the nation. he was at the g20 summit. remember, the table was set on friday. we were here live on "fox & friends" when canada, mexico and the united states sat down for essentially the new and a halfty. and the president told reporters on air force one he plans to initially pull out of the original nafta very soon, in the next few days, perhaps. and that set the table for a more dramatic deal between the u.s. and china calling after their trade war. >> it looks like we've got a truce basically for the moment.

here's what's in the deal that was struck between our president and xi jinping of china. a 90-day truce. trump will delay raising tariffs on chinese good. china is going to buy a substantial amount of u.s. products with a big focus on agricultural. >> that means a lot for the farmers >> and if no deal is set after 90 days, tariffs will increase to 25% which is the original threat to happen on january 1st. to me this is a pause in seek of a larger deal, in pursuit of the leveling of the playing field that this president said he would do. you raised the point earlier. you've got to give this president credit for staring it down, following through and we'll see what happens later on. but this gives the negotiations time to mature. and then you can talk about things like the trade imbalance, intellectual property theft, forced transfer of technology,

the bigger items. >> it's going to be hard to get a bigger trade deal within 90 days. let's be realistic about that. however, emily, i think this president has not gotten enough credit for the fact that he has had the guts, amid pressure in his own party, to stand up to the chinese saying enough. and by the way, let's rebalance trades. you had critics saying this is a fool's ai errand. >> the president ensures that in the conversations it includes the broad scope. there were a ton of other things discussed in the meeting, including the illicit drug trade. those were all covered. and remarkably as well as symbolically in the south china seas we've had raised heckles there between the chinese navy and our navy.

it's a really important to note that that. >> to your point, during the obama years and what did president obama do to stand up to the chinese. >> look at the list of guys next to the president there. you got pompeo, bolton, peter thanavarro. >> mnuchin. >> the chinese know they're dealing with tough guys, tough americans who have taken strong stances. >> the president by the way on air force one told reporters, look, this could be a major deal. the seeds of a big deal are here now. that's something the markets are likely to react to. morgan ortega on last hour saying there are big issues, especially the cyberwar that they're waging. >> from an economic perspective, this sort of pause that we have now is going to be great for the markets. i think you'll see people who are involved in agriculture are going to be happy that the president got the chinese to agree to buy more of the

agriculture products. what can we do in 90 days pipt'. the big thing we're negotiating is on ip intellectual property protection. we're in a full blown cyberwar. >> yeah. i mean we'll see what the 90 days brings. but you've created enough pressure. the crucible of pressure is what you need to get a larger deal. >> you can argue the hardest part is over, right. the devil is in the details but you can say from that point the fact that there was a reception to that, to me that's. >> but the chinese have to belief ach 9believe after 90 dal increase the tariffs to 25%. >> think after 90 days he might do it again. >> and i hope he does if they're kneeling the heat. this is not about the stock market. this is about the long game of economic viability. we're in an economic cold war with them. either they win or we win. that's the stakes. turning now to the headlines. we begin with extreme weather.

a dozen tornadoes ripped through central illinois and leave 20 people hurt. the twisters breaking wind speed records at 75 miles per hour and destroying several structures. crews will begin surveying the destruction later this morning. three people were hospitalized with critical injuries. the attorney general of texas is suing san antonio over its sanctuary city law asking more more that $11 million in fine. he's accusing them of violating state law. last december police found a trailer filled with a dozen suspected illegal immigrants but only the driver was charged. and the city claims it's following state law. tomorrow a federal judge will rule on james comey's request to block a so pe subpoem house republicans. he's being asked to answer questions in a closed door hearing.

daniel hoffman joins us to weigh in. >> you and i spoke about a week ago before the g20 summit and you were saying it would be a bad idea to cancel the trump-putin meeting all together over ukraine. it was time to sit down and hash this out. instead they met on the sidelines. what's the bottom line to you about where this relationship stands? >> well, you know, that meeting on the sidelines, that was vladimir putin kgb operative in the kremlin seeking to influence more, of course, than inform. was trying to portray russia's military aggression against ukraine where they fired upon as a ukrainian provocation. that's the height of hypocrisy. so there's a lot of work to be done. counter measures to be taken and a public rebuke. >> do you think the president is doing enough to show he's going to be tough on peut snn. >> i think it's too early to tell. the president felt clearly this wasn't the right place to be

incorporate human rights into their foreign policy. it's historically a great challenge for us. >> the cia has said, suggested with certainty that the crown prince is behind it. to your point's not as clear-cut and the president is saying that our relationship with the saudis is complicated before we leave i want to ask you about former president george h.w. bush. you served there a long time. what was your inter action withh him? >> when i began the senior officials had served under bush's extraordinary relationship men he was direct r of the cia but they used to describe how gracious he was, what a great leader he was. he used to visit or center, late at night to thank them for their work. that carried on to our

we are back with a fox news alert and a mayor update on the migrant caravan. tijuana shuts down a camp near the border kicking out thousands of migrants. >> the conditions were so bad they had to move everyone away from the border. >> griff jenkins is embedded with the caravan and he has the latest. reporter: good morning. the conditions are some of the worst i've seen and i've covered a lot of stories around the globe. they closed the shelter at the port of entry. they lived feet from the border wall. we're also where a week ago the migrants had left that shelter

and tried to rush the border. they've been moved about 7 miles south of the border to an outdoor concert venue. there's upwards of 6,000 there. we'll try to get in there later today. yesterday i caught up with their leader, mohica who hads this message for the united states. listen. >> we are trying to do things peacefully. and if we cannot enter into the united states, to process a little faster the number of asylum seekers, let the courts decide. we don't want special treatment. reporter: it was him leading them last week against the march here at the wall. and that's why the mayor of tijuana wants him arrested. speaking of criminals, we had the arrest of a 46-year-old honduran convicted murderer one mile east from where i'm standing. he was in the caravan, arrested with two other members of the

the editorial cartoons were marshal ramsey. good morning. >> good morning. >> we had a chance to visit with you. talk about the last 24 hours and the reaction you've had. >> it has -- you know, the first cartoon went viral and i never thought i'd ever see anything like it again. and this one kind of built on that. and it's been incredibly special. not only hearing from the bush family and hearing how much they appreciate a cartoon but i've been hearing from parents who have lost children. there have been some of them, i'll be honest with you, that kind of grabbed me by the heart. >> what is it -- it grabs me now just looking at it. what is it about a picture, a virnlvisual, one moment that sts people more than words. >> like i said, it's one moment. it's very powerful. and a lot of the parents i've talked to, that's exactly the way that i envisioned it. that's the way i thought i would see it. that right there, the fact i'm

able to reinforce what they're seeing is amazing >> you spoke with us about how gracious the entire bush family has been. can you share with viewers about the interactions you've had with them both eight months ago and now? >> yeah. what happened with the first cartoon, literally i posted it on instagram and within an hour jenna bush hager had posted on hers and then of course she put it on her show. and then, you know, i started hearing from neil bush and the different bush family. but then the thank you notes that i got too were incredible. and you know, yesterday jenna wrote a piece based on the cartoon that i literally got choked up and i drew the cartoon. it with us so powerful. i've been through it too. i've lost both of my parents in the last couple of years. i think a lot of what was maybe driving the cartoon was what was going on in my own soul, i think. >> we're sorry for your loss as pell. and as we look at those images, the first one was certainly powerful, the second one equally or more so because you also

added the dimension of george h.w. bush flying up to heaven in this naval plane. >> when you do a cartoon like that, you want to catch a little bit about who they were in life because it makes it real. the one thing you can say about george bush is he served. he department have to serve. his family had money. he could have done whatever he wanted to do. but he was out there in the pacific. he was flying. he came home, he served, you know, he went out, he earned a living, served his family, served his country, in the cia and then as president in congress. he lived a life of service. i wanted to catch that part of it. and of course getting the plane in there was huge. this is something just reading in the last 24 hours about his last days, he really wanted to see barbara and robin again. and the fact that i twhu us ablo capture that, i'm so grateful that was the case. >> marshal, thank you very much for helping us all collectively remember him in a proper and fitting way. we appreciate it. thank you for joining us. >> appreciate you having me on

we played this song for our man of the hour. >> you better believe it. servserved it up for you president trump agreeing to a 90-cease fire to hash out an agreement with china. if there's no deal there the president can make good of his threat of hiking tariffs to 25%. >> our next guest calls this move a huge sigh of relief. here to explain, stuart varney. good to see you. >> good morning. >> so in the initial reaction it seems to me the markets are going to say wait a second, they have a pause here and that's good but there's a lot of work to be done. >> iement not goin i'm not goint what the stack market does on monday morning. i think it will be positive. the market and the economy and americans wanted a cease fire and a truce and that's what we've got. after the dinner on saturday night there's an agreement whereby we do not impose these much higher tariffs on

january 1st. they agree to buy a lot of new stuff from us, manufacturing and farm products in particular. here's the problem. you've got 90 days and this was the deadline set by president trump. you've got 90 days to negotiate and get a deal on much more difficult topics, namely china's continuing theft of our intellectual property plus their forced acquisition, forced takeover of america's superior technology. now if they don't have a deal in 90 days, the president says, those 25% major tariffs, they're back on again. so he's maintaining a very hard line in a very difficult situation to come to a final agreement. >> ultimately it's not a symbolic victory is not enough to relevel the playing field. is there enough time, is 90 days enough to sort out the big issues and get a real win for our country in the trade imbalance? >> they're talking for a long time now. this is just an extra 90 days on

top of it. i have to believe there is some give and take on those major issues beneath the sur nas. surface.i don't know whether toe optimistic or not but you are right. >> are they on their meals a little bit? >> yes, they are. their economy is really suffering. she jinpinxi has a deal with th. you get growth in return we the communists keep power in beijing. if that's interrupted and it could well be with a trade war with america, xi is in trouble. >> now president trump says that he's going to terminate nafta shortly and he's giving lawmakers six month to approve the repliesmen replacement that. what are your thoughts? >> hard line again. the old nafta is gone. iemg goin.i'm going to terminat.

you've got six months democrats in congress, you've got six month to agree to the new u.s. mca which benefits america significantly. if there's no agreement of six months, the old nafta is gone, and you're back to no man's land which will be negative for everybody's economy. so lots of pressure on the democrats tbet this thing done. >> and then how would you respond to say, you know, democrat chuck schumer who voted nay on nafta 1993, continued to say it was terrible and doesn't like this new proposed agreement either. how do you put that pressure on him to get a result if we haven't seen a result from him in 25 years frchlts the democrats don't agree to the new agreement and, no agreement at all, canada, mexico, the u.s., then the democrats could be held responsible for economic chaos. and i'that could be hung aroundr

leftist riots. and that's what's going on all over again. i might add that gas in paris already is 7 .06 a gallon and he wants to take it higher. >> is he going to get that message? his approval rating is in the 20s. how does he respond to this? >> he has said he'll hold the rioters responsible for their actions. he's not backed down at this point. can the street beat macron or can macron beat the street. i'm not going to take a side on that one. just not going to do it. >> stuart varney thank you for joining us this morning. rick with back with a little bit of weather outside. >> i'm impressed with the way he said macron. >> a sophisticated brit. >> i don't know how he pulled that off. nicely done. hey, there is a lot of weather going on across the country right now. we have tornadoes yesterday, 22 of them reported in illinois and

and things are developing on the southern border in tijuana. we start with a fox news alert about that. tijuana shuts down a caravan camp near the border, kicking out thousands of migrants. emily: they say filthy conditions and health risks forced them to make a move. ed: our man near the border, griff jenkins, has the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, guys. the gates behind me to the original shelter are closed and locked, but you can see there's still just a few hundred have remained in the street here. and, you know, emily, you talked about filthy. let me just show you, this is a pile of trash that has amassed as they were pulling the migrants out and moving them to a new shelter, just unbelievable, the unsanitary conditions, perhaps certainly a leading factor as why so many of them are sick. they've been moved to a new shelter about 7 miles away from the border. it's an outdoor venue, but it's all concrete.

we're not allowed in there. perhaps we'll get in there later on today. but the big news amongst this caravan, a 46-year-old convicted murderer from honduras traveling with the caravan, apprehended about a mile from where i'm standing. he was traveling with two other members of the caravan. his name is miguel angel ramirez, and so obviously, more criminals coming across the border. we saw two teens as well, a photo of them digging under the fence. that's just something that continuously happens on the border. but the real news across mexico and the feel here, guys, is the new president. lopez obrador sworn in as mexico's president, and we anticipate there will be some news coming out of it because we have the foreign minister from this new administration in washington meeting with secretary of state mike pompeo today. finally, i just want to leave you with one sound bite. all of this movement has been driven by an organization that

translates people with open borders. the leader wants more asylum processing from the u.s. here's what he had to say. >> we are trying to do things peacefully, and if we cannot enter into the united states to process a little bit faster, the number of asylum seekers, then let the courts decide. we don't want special treatment. >> reporter: he says peacefully, but the mayor of tijuana wants him arrested on federal charges for bringing this mess to his border town to begin with. peter: can you give us a quick update, you've been in touch with leaders of the caravan. are there going to be more efforts to move toward the border? have they pauseed? what's the latest? >> reporter: yesterday, pete, there was a flier put out saying open these borders, we demand a big march. it didn't happen. we believe in part because tijuana officials told the 6,000 migrants, if you show up, you'll

be deported on sight. however, talking to the police here, they say there could be a march again today, obviously, one week ago last week we saw that march. so it's a very fluid situation, and we're going to be on standby in case they do troy and make -- do try and make another statement. yesterday's attempt was to send a message to the new president. we'll see if that happens today. pete: he's literally got his ear to the ground on what's happening there, and it shows you policies have consequences and results. we're not going to let you across the border, they have to find another plus to go, and the result is in question. emily: even when coverage stops, that trash is piling up, the diseases are spreading, there are spaces that need to be filled. it's still happening no matter what, so it's good that we keep covering it. ed: and there's another thread running through all of this when you think about the reports which is that the president has said from the beginning that

this is a threat to the border, to the united states, and critic after critic has said the president is wrong. the president had said many times there are criminals among the midst, we heard critics saying, no, it's women and children, the president's making it up. you saw reporters challenging the prime minister's account and say -- the president's account saying it wasn't going to be an invasion. the former i.c.e. chief is saying the president was right all along. watch. >> regardless if they want to come forward or not in their criminal history, we're going to find a lot of it out through our other methods. we've verified over 500, and this isn't talking about the hundreds more that we can't verify. there's a suspicion, but we have yet to be able to say they're absolutely criminals. there's just 500 that we can verify. president trump has been right 100% of the time when it comes to border security. everything he has done makes sense from the perspective of law enforcement, from the perspective of the rule of law and the sovereignty of this

library to light candles, drop off flowers, do anything they can to show respect for an individual who dedicated his life and his, his family's life to public service and to our country. back to you guys. ed: all right, casey, appreciate your report. we have a lot of guests coming up, people who served in the bush administration, they'll have their reflectionings. the news rolls on. the current president had a major deal to announce in china. it's really just sort of part one, a ceasefire in the trade war with china after a state dinner with president xi jinping. you see him there across the table from the president flanked by his aides, but there are a lot of hard issues to be worked out. pete: that's right. a lot of eyes on will they get a deal, will they not get a deal. they did make a deal, if temporary. these are the aspects of the trade deal reached with china. a 90-day truce to negotiate a larger trade agreement. they're going to delay -- trump's going to delay raising

tariffs on $200 billion in chinese goods, they were set to go to 25% at the first of the year. china's going to buy substantial amounts of u.s. products, most importantly agriculture products which has been a big focus. and if no deal is set after 90 days, then tariffs increase to 25%. it's a big deal that china feels the heat so much that they're coming to the table. this buys enough time for a larger deal and i think nothing was really given of consequence or taken, but it sets the table, hopefully, for more. emily: for only four things, that's a really broad scope for, essentially, reassuring us and really the emotional tenor of the country in terms of the fact that the chinese will buy more and then getting that 90-dayed deadline, that's tremendous -- deadline. it means that's the force needed -- ed: it's a little bit like the immigration deal, because you heard critic after critic say the president's wrong, it's a fool's errand, that the caravan is not a big threat.

we heard that about china as well. it's going to the unrail our economy, it's reckless, it's ridiculous. and instead he not only has china at the table, as stuart varney point out last hour, the president's taking a hard line with china. >> the market and the economy and americans generally, i think, wanted a ceasefire and a truce. and that's what we've got. they don't have a deal in 90 days, the president says those 25% major tariffs, they're back on again. so he's maintaining a very hard line in a very difficult situation to come to a final agreement. xi jinping, he's got to deal with the chinese people. you get prosperity, you get whopping, great big economic growth. in return we, the communists, keep power. if that road to prosperity is interrupted -- and it could well be with a trade war with america -- xi's got a problem. so he's under great pressure. ed: china's economy is not where it was, the massive growth has slowed down. the president, our president,

saw an opportunity to press them while they're on defense, and that's what he's doing. it's not done yet -- pete: yeah. i don't think there's anything more important that this president is doing for the longtime legacy of this country. don't listen to the chattering class of the elites here in new, oh, the stock market. this is for leveling the playing field in a geopolitical fight we are in whether we like it or not with the chinese. do we win or to they win? emily: turning now to your headlines. more than 500 aftershocks are rock alaska while clean-up is underway following a massive earthquake. the 7.0-magnitude earthquake ripped open roads and cracked buildings, the last devastating earthquake hit in 1964. the u.s. has ramped a bombing campaign against the taliban in afghanistan. a dramatic increase in airstrikes over the last two years all aimed at forcing the terror group to engage in peace talks. the president has ordered

caravan was a convicted murderer from honduras, his 46 year old miguel ramirez was released four months ago from prison and border patrol caught him about a mile from where i am standing and he was traveling with two other members of the caravan and also yesterday's big news across all of mexico was the new president, amlo, as he's known, being sworn in and he's known as a pro-migrant president and we asked yesterday while we were out here, one of the leaders of this entire caravan he had a message for president lopez, here is what he said. >> we are trying to do things peacefully and if we cannot do anything to the united states to process a little bit faster, then the number of asylum- seeking, we don't want any special treatment. griff: now, you hear him saying he wants things peacefully and

asylum but it is important to remember that one week ago today he was the one that organized that rally or march if you will that violently rushed the border , we don't know if we'll see anything like that today. we're not hearing any specific plans like we did yesterday hearing about a march, which never materialized. it was not being put on, so we'll see if they are changing, another reason why we haven't seen anyone really pressing on the border in large numbers is that the mecklenburg officials the mayor saying anybody seen rushing that border will now be deported immediately by the way, tijuana's mayor is calling for him to be arrested on federal charges. guys? pete: cracking down it seems and if anybody knows what's going to happen next it's griff so thanks for your reporting on the border ed: big story there let's also now get to the final farewell for our 41st president, george h. w. bush. it all starts tomorrow where he will lie in state in the u.s. capitol. on wednesday his body will leave the capitol and head to the

part where a lot of drug dealing had taken place but they made efforts to clean it up. we were waiting for the event in the staging area which was a bus , when someone came in, secret service, and said someone want to see the president and the president said oh, george, sure, bring him in. so george came in, he was an older gentleman, and he had been a soft wall coach of the women's team, as had george herbert walker bush, so they spoke a while and they let me sit in on it and at the end, george, the visitor said, you know, george, you've done really well for yourself, you've had a really good career, this job you've got is a real good one, i guess, president of the united states and president bush said how about you, george? and he said well things haven't been so good for me, i've had bad breaks so i was wondering if you could give me a few bucks. i was sitting here, what! and the president, without any hesitation, takes out his wallet , hands the guy a couple of 50s, maybe 20s. i felt, should i give him money

too and he said here you go, so the guy walks out and i said mr. president, does this happen all the time? does this happen often, you ever think about it whether the president needs to carry cash but it was the effort lessness of it, just the naturalness of it, no hesitation, no, anybody got any money? he just took out his wallet and did it and that was george herbert walker bush, that effort less grace and dignity that he was raised to and lived. great boss, we went after the drug war big time. we had great success, he went wherever i asked him to go, and it was a very great time to be with him. he was my best boss. reagan was i think a better president, i don't know if that's okay to say at this point but it was a continuation and he continued the reagan legacy but i never had a kinder, more gentle or more decent boss than george herbert walker bush. pete: he was certainly a man of the moment. what could we learn today what could our politics learn today about the presidency or the man of h. w. bush?

>> well i think if you go back to the gulf war, alexander hamilton said when the american military power goes it should go like hercules and george bush did that in the gulf war, you know, pete you know that history , and remember, that was because of our military and because of george herbert walker bush and his organizing what was 37 nations to be with us on that , he was a master in public affairs, he had been trained in foreign affairs for all of his life and his positions and the cia job, his position in the military and so on had trained him but that kind of coordination, but he was also very tough. i mean, i know we talk about the kinder and gentler and there was that aspect to him but he was very tough in foreign policy as well and that was good for us good for the country. emily: dr. bennett one of the most memorable moments of the bush administrations war on drugs was when he brought in drugs to the oval office to

demonstrate how easy it was to get drugs at that time. describe for us what that was like and as well as the public response. >> yeah, i remember in new york he didn't say a thing. he took cocaine and said this is what it is right? and i said yeah, and he said what's it like? and i said no, no, don't get any closer but he was very touched by it. he called me on my birthday, elaine and i, and our boys from north carolina at the beach and he had just gone to the covenant house in new york and he talked to a young man, emily, who told him he was about to get out and he hoped to live the last two years of his life free of drugs and productively, and the president said to me, this guy is 21 years old and he thinks his life horizon is two more years. he said is this what this epidemic is doing to us? and i said yes, sir that's what it's doing it's killing lives. he was just so moved and he was so curious about this, this didn't register with him the first time he heard it.

it wouldn't register with a lot of people but that was the drug war and we're in another one right now a lot of people don't appreciate it. ed: dr. bennett what about the personal side of what we're hearing about the final hours of president bush's life, the new york times peter baker has a remarkable story inside his room where james baker, who you know as well, you might people might think of him as just secretary of state political advise or but he was actually a close friend they played tennis for years before he was ever president in houston and they go in the room and bush 41 says where are we going, bake? and baker says we're going to heaven and the president says that's where i want to go. >> yeah, i'm surprised the president didn't say well that's where i'm going bake, i don't know where you're going because that would be george herbert walker bush as well. that friendship is very deep and i'm not surprised but you know, he ran his life with grace, and dignity, and they were a wonderful couple, great to us, mrs. bush was very kind to mrs.

ben it and our younger son at the white house easter egg roll threw up on mrs. bush or almost did, he had too much chocolate, too much sugar that's what the event is about and he threw up and elaine pulled him back and she said oh, i'm so sorry and barbara bush looked at elaine and said oh, well i've never seen that before. very funny. she had seen it all her life. ed: right and they're making you in a difficult moment making you feel like it was normal and i understand family. pete: absolutely. >> exactly. pete: dr. bennett thank you. well go ahead. no i was just going to say because people ask me all the time the difference between donald trump and george herbert walker bush. two things. one, you'd never mistake one for the other okay? they're very different guys. second is i used to say sometimes you need mother teresa , sometimes you need dirty hairy and times change and the needs of the country change and i like and admire both of them.

pete: mother teresa won a heck of award too so there you go. dr. bennett thank you very much we appreciate your time. >> thank you. emily: turning now to your headlines we begin with extreme weather a dozen tornadoes ripped through central illinois and leave at least 20 people hurt. the twisters breaking wind speed records at 75 miles an hour, destroying several structures. crews will begin surveying the destruction later this morning and at least three people were hospitalized with critical injuries. a family of eight is lucky to be alive thanks to a neighbor jumping into their burning home to save them. >> there are two unconscious in the back room we can't get them out. emily: the roof collapsed 30 seconds after the texas family was rescued and the kids are between the ages of 13 years to six weeks old two are in critical condition and an electrical fire in the kitchen caused the blaze. french president emmanuel macron

pete: welcome back. well a took a flight overnight back here because i was in california in simi valley where every year they do the reagan national difference forum and it's a gathering of elected officials, and fox news sunday will be live from there, we did fox & friends from there as well yesterday. the big talk on the ground is will the military be funded properly. everyone was talking about the military budget and there was an op-ed in the wall street journal that landed the day before intentionally that caught our eye that said don't cut military spending, mr. president, and in that op-ed, james enhoff, and max thornberry, they talked about the two previous budgets

of the trump adminitration have fully funded dod on time, the budget increases the president ran on repairing the military. there is some concern though, now, because media reports are saying that the administration might actually draw back on pentagon spending in fiscal budget 2020 it would be 16 billion less than 2019 and 33 billion less than mr. trump's original budget plan and it would be different than the perception of rebuilding the military. i had a chance to talk to matt thornberry, the chairman of the house armed services committee and he talked about the threat of defense spending . listen. >> building up our military is first the right thing to do for the men and women who are risking their lives for us but secondly, it helps make it less likely that we'd ever have to fight. peace does come through strength everyone is concerned about debts and deficits, what i think a lot of folks don't realize is defense is only 15% of the federal budget. one of the lowest levels its ever been, since world war ii,

so you're not going to fix the debt on the back of defense and matter of fact what you do is you make the world more dangerous and you hurt our ability to grow the economy with a more dangerous world. pete: so mick mulvaney wants to see a 5% cut because of the threat of the national debt and the defense department pushing back really hard saying now is the time to be pedal to the medal. ed: this is where our commander-in-chief has to make big decisions because the president has made a big deal and rightly so about the fact that he succeeded in rebuilding our military. he's put a lot of money in there that had been winding down in the obama years but now you have a big debt and the president also talked about the debt and the campaign and he wanted to cut that down. it's going up right now in part because congress won't cut domestic spending so you have this balance so i hear the concerns from the sort of defense hawks if you will, like yourself, who say let's not take the medal off the pedal if you will and make sure we keep the military stronger there's threats all around the world you

need to pay attention to that on the other hand you have democrat s coming into the house in power and they work with chuck schumer in the senate, to increase more domestic spending, on health and education and stuff and some are worthwhile priorities but if you don't cut somewhere, especially entitle ment programs, beyond defense but medicare and the rest, we have a huge debt problem and that's something the president campaigns on too. emily: there's elements as well to the conversation in terms of the efficiency and where the money is coming from and a lot of the veterans are already dealing with a deflation essentially of the va in terms of the fact that now the tuition is being delayed another year, the implementation of the new budget for the va is getting bogged down with the technological developments in that regard, and furthermore, the veterans have had to deal with or federal employees with having their pay stay at the same steps for so many years during the prior administration, there's really multiple elements of that. pete: as the democrats take the house the concern is if you're

opening bid is down here you never get higher so start with your opening bid of dod up here because the left wants domestic spending. ed: no one has been a stronger advocate for our veterans than our colleague pete here but our priorities are to balance, no doubt, and we'll be staying on top of that. pete: we'll be watching that. ed: these pictures capturing the most intimate moments present president george h. w. bush and his family. a former white house photographer who took them tells us how it changed his outlook on life. you won't want to miss it, next. if you have psoriasis,

other jobs he had built up is probably one of the most qualified people to be president ever. pete: i mean, david, most of us only know the public george bush , not the private. tell us about the private george bush? >> well, family, his family, his faith, and his friends were probably the most important thing to him, and i recall him saying one-time with all of the ties he had including president of the united states, that the most important titles were husband, father and grandfather. pete: that's awesome. emily: david you've said the photograph you are most known for is that one of the president and his family in bed in their bedroom. can you share with us tell us about that experience and how it came about? >> well it was just before he was getting ready to run for president and life magazine wanted to send a photographer to

take some photos and he says no, i'm on vacation and there was some back and forth and life magazine a photo editor bobby baker said well okay we'll let david take some pictures. i talked to barbara bush about it and she said well you should just come over tomorrow at 6:00 and see what happens and so the next morning, i go over there and walk into the house and walk into the bedroom and sit down on the edge of the bed with george and barbara bush and in come all of the grandchildren that were there and i stood up, took a couple of snaps, and wound up running two full pages in life magazine and was kind of taken on a life of its own and i think that it's just so iconic of george and barbara bush and their love for each other and their love for their family. ed: well talk about that marriage because that's important as well. we don't want to forget the former first lady we lost her this year as well as you alluded

to and i understand you went to her funeral and had kind of a moment with president bush. talk about that. >> well, the time that i spent with them was just in credible, but the last time actually i saw president bush was at mrs. bush 's funeral. i was fortunate enough two or three years back to visit with him and we just had a lot of fun , shared some laughs, and i'll never forget the very first time i went there he was walking me around walker's point and he was telling me when he was a little boy he used to go swimming by the dock and he said you and i ought to do that and i'm thinking there's no way that i'm going to jump in there and he said no that's okay, we walk

up put on swimming suits and walk back down and he says on the count of three we'll jump so 1, 2, 3, i jump and he walked back to the house, so from that point on and he actually one-time said he considered me a part of his family and i really appreciated that as a staff person i never forgot that my role as the photographer put me in that position to be with him in the public and the private, so i always respected the space, but when his mother was on her death bed, he had me go into the bedroom and take one last photo of he and his mother, and when his daughter had her first son sam, we went to the hospital and took pictures at the hospital in

the nursery. pete: he has ways that no one else has, great stuff, david valdez, thank you very much. >> thank you for having me. pete: well in another story, al sharp to be just sold his life story for a half million dollars , but you're not going to believe who actually bought it. ed: oh, yes stick around for that one plus the art of the deal? u.s. and china making a big move on trade. guess whose all over the story? maria is here with why this deal is a big big win for the market. pete: she knows. ed: good morning, how are you? maria: good to see you, hello. hey how are you good to see you!

>> president bush is famously a very warm and gracious man who always understood the power in being able to laugh at yourself. >> thousand points of light still operating coming in from all of those areas. [laughter] not going to die. >> [laughter] >> george bush here. i'm watching you do your impression of me and i've got to say, it's nothing like me. ed: [laughter] pete: that was so awesome. ed: what a lesson for politicians to be embracing. >> wouldn't be prudent at this juncture. pete: we remember there's so many great lines, saturday night live paying tribute to president h. w. bush. ed: wonderful and president bush invited him to the white house. emily: exactly he felt his

staff needed to be uplifted and he brought back the man himself. ed: maria bartiromo that was fun maria: it was one of the best parts of the show last night, really and today i'm actually speaking with the man who h. w. chose to be his vice president dan quail is my lead guest. pete: we also want to get your reflection, there it is stick around for that and we also want your reflections on the big news out of the g20 and the deal or the cease fire, whatever you want to call it with china, what do you make of the temporary deal and how it might lead to a bigger deal? maria: i think this is a positive and markets will react positively to this because it basically shows the two want to work together, he will not put this addition tariff in place as was expected, january 1, as they figure out where this heads next now i think the real challenge here is what is china going to do about the big issues, being the theft of intellectual property, and the forced transfer of technology. of course we know that beijing will not admit that they

actually have been stealing our technology and our ip for decade s and decades so you need to get an admit answer before you actually get them to agree to change their behavior. that along with opening up markets. they are showing a little willingness to opening up markets right now by saying okay , in five years, if you're an american car maker if you're a foreign car maker you will be able to own out and out own a car company in china, and you won't need the 49% joint venture that's in five years. we need to see more of that opening up. ed: what about widening the lens which is and taking a little step back on the idea of this president on the world stage he talked about the art of the deal at the beginning people laughed at him and they mocked it. he talked about let's stand up to china and renegotiate. china's economy is unstoppable and now we see them on defense and he has been keeping the pressure on them. maria: absolutely and i think both sides of the aisle recognize that this was a bold, courageous move on president trump's part to actually poke and push back at china because this has been an issue for presidents, many presidents

before him and they have not done anything, in terms of pushing china. i think this was the right move, i think the president in retrospect will have a legacy of really showing this courage and boldness, and he will be able to move the needle in terms of china's behavior. we'll see. china's economy has already shown signs that this fight is impacting it negatively, and china does not want that, so i suspect that they do want an agreement. pete: so in 90 days this cease fire would end and our tariffs would go from 10% to 25% on $200 billion worth of goods. maria: that right. pete: do you see a deal, do you see 90 days as enough time to strike that kind of deal? they don't even admit it but at least we know they're coming to the table and are worried about how the tariffs are impacted. maria: it's a really good question because a fight like this can't be solved over one dinner. we'll see. china has gotten away with this for a long time, basically forcing companies to okay, you want to sell to the 1.4 billion people population in china, you're going to have to give us your secrets and then what

happens is they give the secrets to the chinese counterpart and in just a year or two later that company will come back compete head-to-head with their american foreign competitor and probably win. we know china's gold. they want to be number one in block chain technology, number one in robotics, number one in a i. the same industry that america wants to be number one in. i don't know if 90 days takes it wu now we know there's a real agreement on the table and this is forcing the conversation to actually admit what they've been doing and perhaps show some change. emily: and short of the 90 day leverage that we have what did you find is the most essential to come out of it? maria: well i think the ip theft is one of the most important issues. over 20 years of my career i've been hearing media people, the head of nbc, the head of cbs, all talk about look, we're creating movies and tv shows they can't just be stolen they steal ip, they steal media from the u.s. , and i have a friend whose a designer and i said to

her the other day and i said are you in china? she said i'm not because there are 15 of me in china so they take the name and show a different logo, business knows this so i think it's the most important thing and that's where this president wants to see willingness to change. ed: don't miss maria's show top of the hour. emily: turning to your headlines former senator al franken is back in the public spotlight. >> when i left the senate, i said i was giving up my seat but not my voice and after the mid-term elections i thought i'd start experimenting with ways to make my voice heard. ed: the minnesota democrat talking a little healthcare in a new podcast less than a year after he resigned from the senate over allegations of sexual misconduct. emily: al sharpton is selling his life story to his own charity. ed: what? emily: the national network paying $531,000 for the rights according to the new york post,

and sharpton claims the organization wanted to create a revenue stream after he steps down over the next year. he says potential movie deals could triple the investment. ed: nice deal. emily: the nfl is letting ravens defensive tackle michael pierce wear custom cleats featuring the icer flag today. >> growing up reading the bible and bible stories and learning exactly where jesus walked is awesome. emily: the spiritual collection inspired him to have the cleats designed. ed: very cool. pete: interesting. emily: a legal gun owner is evicted for simply exercising her second amendment rights. a harvard student was told to move out of her apartment because her roommates were ubiquity comfortable with her keeping a firearm. she joined us earlier and she says the situation is political ly motivated. >> one comment that struck me was just well, you're from the south, we saw you have this hat that we don't really care for.

emily: the landlord says she should move out if she wants to keep her guns. and those are your headlines. ed: what a story. all over a little hat. pete: misguided. we'll toss it out to rick richmuth, who has never misguided and going to give us the weather. rick: i try. guys there's a lot going on we had the tornadoes last night across parts of illinois, one around taylorville looks like a lot of damage and at this point reporting about 20 injuries so daylight coming up we'll get a little bit more information, one tornado warning goes to the weather map, show you what's going on, with a line of storms cutting across i75 in georgia down around tip ton, that's where we've got tornado warning that have been producing a tornado and a watch in effect until 11:00 so be very careful that line of storms is moving very very slowly. you'll see all of this moisture across the mid atlantic and the northeast up in towards parts of canada all part of the central system that's across areas of

been on the show he formed a bond with the president over it and he's here to discuss a very special personal connection, coming up. today, 97% of employers agree that skills like teamwork, attention to detail,

...fearless... ...and there's no looking back, because i am cured. talk to your doctor about mavyret. pete: welcome back a couple of quick headlines jet blue is delivering a life size package this christmas by turning travelers into presents literally. the airlines contest will gift wrap five passengers to surprise their loved ones on christmas eve. ed: that's kind of cool. pete: if that sounds like fun to you, you can enter on jet blue's website and it's like they never left, burger king's old fan favorite cini minis are back for the holidays you can get them for free if you spend $10 or more, ordering through the delivery service grubhub. ed: i am going to send one down to florida to dan bongino because we've got a big story. europeans already living with the effects of open borders, even hillary clinton admitted that, they can now face jail

time for criticizing those open borders. watch. >> the agreement to criminalize migration speech, criticism of migration will become a criminal offense, and media outlets and that also concerns you, that give room to criticism of migration, can be shut down. ed: wait, what? now we'll police migration speech. pete: wow our next guest says this is just another example of how the left works, when they can't win an argument former secret service agent, former nypd officer dan bongino. there's some video we play on this, this channel that i can barely believe, so that is a leader of the european parliament saying you're in trouble if you talk about migration. >> not only that pete you know how the left works, the left in the united states when i say the left i mean the media too. if you talk about this on the show this segment will be covered they will say fox & friends covers conspiracy theory despite the fact that you just

played the video, you just played it this is what they do. do not be surprised for a moment by the way if some entrepreneurial and i don't mean that as a complement, far left radical lawmaker in the united states to get his name in the headlines proposes something like this here too. guys understand, they cannot win this debate on facts, i'm not about i-immigrant, matter of fact i'm married to one. there is a distinction between lawful immigration and illegal immigration. the left wants to blurry that and shut anybody up who talks about it and when they can't win on the facts they go right to state power because they are in love with the police state. that's who the left is. accept it. ed: dan when you make the point about democratic lawmakers likely to adopt an approach like this how it could basically migrate here the idea of policing speech. there's a democratic congresswoman we highlighted

earlier in the share co-chair of the progressive caucus whose down at the border working with the migrants figuring out how to get them to go around our laws basically. >> none of this is surprising they are desperate for the right , anybody archdiocese anyone on the right to stop talking about this and here is why it's for an important reason i think the left thought this caravan crisis, this border crisis is going to be a political winner for them. why? because it was going to give the appearance of chaosnd a the tariff and make trump look unprepared again. they had a political win or what they thought was a political win with the child separations which was done under obama too by the way and they thought this was a political winner it's not ed. the reason this is chaos doesn't sell anywhere. moderate democrats don't like what they are seeing at the border and now they realize it's a political illusion they want to shut everybody up, but the fact that there's a u.s. lawmaker working in conjunction with people to violate u.s. law, how does that

you raised your right hand and swore to protect the constitution of the united states. do they not see that. ed when you raised your hand i'm pretty confident it doesn't say i swear to protect and defense the constitution of the united states when i agree with it. i don't agree with obamacare. ed: or a constitution of mexico or some other country as well. dan bongino. pete: dan clear your calendar december 10 and 11 the international congress will be debating the global compact for safe orderly and regular migration. i don't know that i've ever heard anything more or less. ed: we'll send dan there. pete: you should cover it. ed: up next, they developed a personal bond with former president george h. w. bush over their love of colorful socks and now the father and son behind john's crazy socks are here to discuss a very special connection. >> ♪ only in america, dreaming in red white and blue ♪ excuse me a minute... hi dad. no. don't try to get up. hi, i'm julie, a right at home caregiver.
