federally. >> yeah. paul: tweet us@jer on fnc. thanks to my panel and all of you for watching. i'm paul gigot, hope to see you here next week. arthel: we begin with new developments on the deadly rampage in new zealand. the man accused of opening fire inside two mosques during friday prayers yesterday appearing in court. police accusing the gunman of killing at least 49 people and injuring dozens more and livestreaming the massacre on social media. welcome to a brand new hour, i'm arthel neville. eric: hello, everyone, i'm eric shawn. thank you for being with us. the self-proclaimed white supremacist has been charged with murder and is expected to face even more charges this as the small island nation is reeling with grief and searching for answers. survivors are speak out. >> i thought there was somebody

probably playing firecrackers or something. then i heard one of the brothers call some of the brothers got shot. and then i heard some more shotguns. >> it was terrible. so many people, you know? some of them were screaming, they were asking me to get some water for them. eric: that has sent shock waves around the globe. kitty logan, what happened in court today? >> reporter: well, this was the initial court appearance by the suspect on a single murder charge. he is likely to face more charges over the other deaths, the judge tells us. now, this is the 28-year-old man who's the primary suspect in the shootings. the court ordered his face to be blurred. he wore a white prison outfit, and he remained silent throughout the hearing. he has been remanded in custody again until his next court

hearing on april 8th. meanwhile, person frenzied work is continue for the police to gather more evidence to support this court case. of course, they also tried to establish if anyone else may be linked to this suspect. his online manifesto did not indicate any associates, so police are, at the moment, working on the assumption that this gunman acted a alone, but they are keeping an hope mind, eric. eric: meanwhile, that island nation has been described as a paradise, it's so up used to this -- unused to this. what is the mood there? >> reporter: people are trying to come to terms with shock and grief. this is the biggest mass shooting that new zealand has experienced in its entire history. and told in christchurch we saw people laying flowers, lighting candles. many of the victims were

themselves refugees who fled violence in countries like syria and afghanistan. there were also satisfactories of heroism. and also today the prime minister of new zealand met with members of the muslim community. she offered them her reassurance and her support. eric? eric: all right, kitty, thank you so much. arthel: house speaker nancy pelosi vowing to override president trump's first veto since taking office. the president rejecting an effort by congress to block his national emergency over security at the southern border after 12 republicans broke party lines to pass the resolution that would block the president's move. >> congress has the freedom to pass this resolution, and i have the duty to veto it, and i'm very proud to veto it, and i'm very proud, as i said, of a lot of republican senators that were with me. and i'm also very proud of the house, the republicans in the house voted overwhelmingly in

favor of a secure border. arthel: let's go to garrett tenney who's live at the white house with the latest on this story. >> reporter: hey, arthel. democrats are got -- are not giving up their fight to block this national deck la asian of -- declaration of emergency. speaker pelosi said on march 26th the house will once again act to protect our constitution and our democracy from the president's emergency declaration by holding a vote to override his veto. house republicans will have to choose between their partisan hypocrisy and their city cred oath to support and defend the constitution. shortly after that in the oval office, president trump insisted there is a crisis on the southern border which he has a constitutional duty to address. >> yesterday congress passed a dangerous resolution that, if signed into law, would put countless americans in danger, very grave danger. it is definitely a national

emergency, rarely have we with had such a national emergency. therefore, to defend the safety and security of all americans, i will be signing and issuing a formal veto of this reckless resolution. >> reporter: congress is not expected to override the president's veto. the two-thirds majority is needed, and the house was about 40 votes short of it last month, democrats 8 votes short this week. democrats are looking at joining a lawsuit 20 states have filed against the administration over it and possibly including language in future spending bills to prevent the president redirecting congressional funds in the future. from a historical perspective, president bush -- like his recent predecessors -- president trump, has largely avoided using his veto power. at this point, president obama had issued two. george h.w. bushed had 20, ronald reagan 15 and jimmy

carter 19. only a handful of those vetoes were eventually overridden by congress, and the white house does not expect to see that this time around either. arthel: garrett tenney, thank you very much. eric: dave brown and matt gorman are here, so what will happen? welcome to you both. matt, let me start with you. does a failure to override, does that strengthen or weaken the president's position on this? >> i don't think it really matters momentum i think people see it's a political vote and a waste of time regardless. look, the senate's voted its conscience, president trump has vetoed, i think we need to move on and go back to the business of the country. i think this is a distraction with nancy pelosi and a way to paper over the fissures in her own caucus and a way that she can hide from a lot of the presidential candidates like beto o'rourke talking about taking down existing walls. eric: democrats are not going to move on, they're planning to

reissue this every six months and maybe get a veto twice a year right on through the 2020 elections. >> yeah, i mean, eric, you're putting your thumb on the political reality of this. there is a huge 20 calculus that is overshadowing this override. i say that, but i also don't want to diminish what i think are the very serious constitutional issues here, and i suspect you'll see that play out in the courts. and, you know, if anything, i think in some respects i do think that this helps the president, because he needed to go back to his base, he needed to be able to say i've delivered on what arguably is his most important promise to date to them. he's able to do that, and i don't think democratic or a republican president ever goes wrong as using congress as a foil. for the president to have this issue heading into the election, i think in some ways that helps him. and, of course, on our side,

democrats will be talking about immigration because that's an important issue for us. but think in some respects, the litigation will play out sort of as a sideline, and that just means it's going to be a tough vote every since months. everything, matt9 -- eric: matt, the president can go out and say we're going to build a wall, the democrats are trying to stop it, i mean, this kind of -- in that way, do you think this plays right into the president's strength on the campaign snail. >> i think dave is right. he's taking a page from the old harry truman playbook, running against congress. as we saw in 2016, president trump is best when he's running against something, when he has an enemy of sorts. we saw that in 2016 with hillary clinton. i don't think he thinks of congress -- namely, the gop -- as an enemy, but i think what helped him with a lot of disaffected voters was he was able to put a pox on the whole broken system in d.c. now, look, if 2020 is a

referendum on the president, it's going to be tougher. if it's a choice, which i think he needs it to be, i think that puts him in a lot better shape. eric: "the wall street journal," it impacts the senators who are up for election. they say this, quote, in an editorial: mr. trump put senator running for re-election in 2020 in a particular bind. corey gardner, ben sasse of nebraska all voted with the president. they clearly didn't want to offend the president and his supporters, but the senators have now created a political opening for their democratic opponents. dave, do you think that is the case, that now potential opponents could have something to run against the incumbents on? >> yeah, i think that's right, eric, and you're making an important distinction here. it's one thing to talk about this issue, helping the president with his base, it's another thing to talk about whether this issue helps senate republicans, house republicans up for re-election. if 2018, the midterms, is a guide, i think probably it

doesn't help them, i think it puts them in a tough bind. if you look at polling, consistently, americans have not been supportive of the wall. americans believe we need tougher immigration, immigration reform, but they don't necessarily support the wall. especially if this vote's coming up every six months in the house and senate, that's going to put them, i think, on the defensive heading into 2020. matt may have a view here, part of the president's reelect is so narrow, and he's not growing his base. it's been holding, but he's not growing his base. so this issue for the general once he's past the primaries, past sort of mobilizing this base, i'm not sure this issue favors the republicans at all. eric: matt, what about that? the republican senators who are up and the president too, what about what dave says about, apparently, not growing the base? >> well, he has a point. look, it needs to be a war of attrition. i worked for jeb bush and number their respective presidential campaigns, and democrats would

sit back almost giddy when a lot of the republican primary candidates would have debates on these far-right issues. i see that playing out on the left, and the far-left democrats are debating crazy, far-left issues, so republicans -- namely, the president and his campaign, but also others -- are able to sit back, and use them against whoever the democratic nominee is. i think it's going to be a war of attrition, don't get me wrong. but as we saw with hillary clinton, the more unpopular you can make the democrat, the more it's going to help the president. eric: meanwhile, the president just tweeted a tweet where it shows a night vision video of a parent of illegal immigrants coming off a bus, running through the fields and through the fences. so this is not going away anytime soon. matt and dave, thank you for your ine sight. >> thanks, eric. arthel: former texas congressman beto o'rourke continuing his tour of iowa this afternoon, joining four others prospects for the 2020 democratic ticket on the road.

a live look now at an event in another early voting state, new hampshire, where washington golf jay inslee is about to meet with voters. all right, jeff paul, wrap it up for us. you're out there live on the west coast. >> reporter: yeah, arthel. there is a lot to get to, but we're going to begin in new hampshire where washington governor jay inslee is set to speak at any moment. i'll be joined by some state lawmakers and rockingham county democrats where he will be discussing his core issue, climate change. over in iowa, that's where foreman texas congressman beto o'rourke participated in a st. patrick's day 5k run and spoke to a crowd at the black hawk county democratic party headquarters, focus on immigration and an issue he's describing as a crisis.

>> well, it's hard to say who has the luck of the irish, but it's easy to see who has the media attention at the moment, and that is for he has been, as you mentioned, in iowa. he's doing a three-day swing th earlier today, and, you know, he's just one of six democratic hopefuls, 2020-ers who have been making the rounds to early voting states, iowa is just one of them. cory booker is also there, as you mentioned, amy klobuchar is doing an event tonight. and also in new hampshire washington governor jay inslee, new york senator kirsten gillibrand and senator bernie sanders is heading off to nevada, the first early voting state in the west. arthel: uh-huh. so you're going with beto for the same answer. let's stick with the st. patty's day references, if you will, it really is all about the green. that said, how much time does former vice president biden have to officially jump in the race before the big early campaign

money runs occupant? >> well, that's the big question with biden. he shouldn't have a problem with fundraising necessarily, and democratic strategists i've talked to over the past couple of years who have really kept an eye on biden's early moves have said that he doesn't necessarily have the donor problem that other potential 2020 candidates have in the sense that he doesn't necessarily need to pull from that small donor base that a lot of the other senators and governors are going to have to pull from. that being said, you know, he has to still get in as soon as possible if he wants to get good strategists on his side, if he wants to make his case not as vice president, but as a presidential nominee to voters. arthel: and let's get back to beto. some might say he's green in the area of campaigning at in this hue-stalks level -- high-stakes level, joking that his wife has been raising their three children, and he says sometimes with my help. and he apologized last night.

at the same time, beto said that he acknowledged that the truth of criticism, that he, that he said he has enjoyed white privilege. will a all of this prove to be a major barrier or just a bump in the road? >> i think you hit the nail on the held. beto has a lot to figure out. he is a green, to go with the st. patty's day reference. he is a new candidate. there's a lot of, i think he has something like 30% national name recognition, so he's bound to make a lot of rookie mistakes that somebody who like a joe biden who in his day was known as a gaffe machine might not be making this time around. so beto, i think to his credit, he apologized for some early blunders and comments that he made about his wife and his sort of role in the family. but i think a lot of democratic women are going to be keeping an eye on him and sort of as there are multiple female candidates in 2020, i think they'll be keeping him in check a little

bit when he says things like this. arthel: and then there's south bend maw your pete -- mayor pete buttigieg announcing today he has 65,000 donors in his exploratory committee which gives him a green light to participate in the democratic debate happening in june. >> he, in my opinion, is the true dark horse of 20 to 20 at this point -- 2020. he doesn't have the name recognition that all of the top tier candidates have, somebody like a bernie sanders or joe biden or kamala harris even, but he is slowly but surely building up, making his case to voters, building up a little bit of name recognition. he's met that critical 65,000 unique donor threshold in at least 20 statements in order to compete in the dnc primary debates. and his campaign tells me, you know, the media attention is going to come and go. he's not -- he's in it for the long haul. he's not in it for the quick

sort of media hits that are coming with somebody like beto. arthel: do you think if or when vice president biden comes, joins the race, do you think he'll come in with a running mate of a complete ticket? >> that would certainly be unprecedent. i don't know that he's doing that, i haven't reported on that specifically. but, you know, i think he has a unique chance to pull a potential early running mate with him and say, you know, i might be a 70-something--year-old white man, but look at my younger, potentially younger or even female running mate. and that could be an attractive option for people who see his age and his gender as a barrier for voting for him. i'm not sure that he'll actually go that route, but it could be an interesting avenue for him to pursue. arthel: uh-huh. staff correspondent for the national journal, hannah true doe, you're off now, i think off the clock, so you can go out and drink some green beer.

represent is the one that will allow and has allowed you to thrive. arthel: gordon chang, author of "nuclear showdown," who knows all things in this region is with us now. this is pretty astounding, it's outrageous, it sounds like. what has google been doing? >> in china, at least two joint ventures. those are in artificial intelligence. one of those joint venture or partners actually has close links with the chinese military. so, clearly, whatever technology google is sharing or developing is going to end up in the hands of the people's liberation army. so general dunford is absolutely correct in that in his testimony on thursday. it is very clear this is a direct help to china's military, and they're configuring themselves to fight the u.s. eric: were you surprised by this, and how can google apparently stop this? >> well, you know, google can pull out of those joint ventures. shareholders aren't going to like that. you know, in one sense, eric, companies are amoral. they're there to make profits, you know?

they're not there to define u.s. national security or to implement it. that's the job, of course, of president trump and 535 congressmen and representatives in congress. and those need to make this illegal. force google out of there. eric: but wouldn't -- if google is breaking the law, wouldn't they be charged already, or would they know and deal with the international measures that are aimed and written to prevent this? >> well, what google is doing now is not illegal, and that really is because the united states has not defined china as an adversary or an enemy to the extent that we need and to have the legislation to prevent cooperation of this sort. because we know what's going on. it is helping the chinese military, and we're allowing it. so what we need to do is criminalize this. and after that if google continues, then you go after them hard. but right now this is a congress responsibility. it's a president's responsibility. google is sort of just taking advantage and making money. eric: google says, according to reports, we have no plans to

launch the search in china. they say team members have moved on to new projects. they say their work is to make sure our government is safe and secure and that this country is safe and secure. what should they do immediately, just end any cooperation with china? >> well, you know, you just talked about search, and they say they ended search, but google employees say that project dragon fly, which is what you're referring to, is continuing. and so, clearly, google is not stopping this. and i don't think google should be there. you know, google's employees sort of forced the company out of its contracts with the pentagon. well, if they feel that way, they should be forcing the company out of its joint ventures in china, they should be stopping search and stopping a lot of over things that the ceo of -- other things that the ceo of google wants to do. eric: we've talked a lot about chinese encroachment in the united states whether it's on college campuses, whether it's through spies, stealing of intellectual property, artificial intelligence, computing, the internerkts on and on. give us a sense of what the

strategy is from beijing when it comes to dealing with us. >> well, it's really to penetrate the american political system, which they've done, you know? they interfere in our elections, they attack our democracy -- eric: but the russians got all the attention for that. >> but the chinese are doing it as well. and in the chinese, the ministry of state security, their agents are operating on our soil, especially on our campuses. we've allowed this for decades. we haven't stopped it. also chinese diplomats engaging in activities which are clearly inappropriate which violate our sovereignty, trying, for instance, on campuses -- to stay with that theme -- to tell professors not to do certain things, not to participate in certain projects. so, you know, this is on us, eric. we need to make sure that these chinese agents are turfed out of our soil, also that these diplomats, quote-unquote, that they are expelled from the united states. this is really on us, because we've allowed this to continue for far too long. we sort of thought, oh, let's be nice, they'll be nice back?

no, it doesn't work that way. eric: what happens when we're nice to the chinese? >> they take advantage of us. we've seen this getting worse over time, not better. there have been warning, but, you know, we need to do somethingfective, something that the chinese will understand, and the only way to do that is to impose those costs. first of all, to expel their diplomats, expel their ministry of state security agents and to a number of things that china will understand that they can no longer deal with the u.s. as they've done in the last four decades. eric: and finally, there's been a lot of talk and testimony that china, that beijing is really the major power that confronts the united states over the next number of decades. >> oh, absolutely. you know, and those chinese military officers in december, you know, you had that rear add miller say in public he wanted unprovoked attacks on the u.s. navy, he talked about sinking two aircraft carriers, killing 10,000 americans. and what did we do? we didn't do anything, eric. i mean, we're not deterring the chinese, and they're becoming

more and more belligerent. they're using artificial intelligence to power their military to kill americans. this has got to stop. eric: gordon chang, as always, thank you,. >> thanks, eric. arthel: gordon, eric, thank you very much. ♪ ♪ arthel: a bank is set on fire in paris as yellow vest protesters clash with police for the 18th weekend in a row. firefighters had to rescue a mother and her child who lived in an apartment above the bank. the protests taking a violent turn after demonstrators threw rocks and smoke bombs at officers. the yellow vest protesters are a grassroots movement seeking populist changes to that economy. back here at home, gunfire erupts on the vegas strip after a brazen robbery attempt ends in a police shootout. details straight ahead. plus, as the cause of the two recent boeing 737 max jet plane crashes, max 8 plane crashes are under investigation, airlines are beginning to feel the economic effects of the

power of the pen to issue the first veto of his presidency and strike down a congressional resolution. calling for an end to the emergency declaration at the southern border. hello everyone i am arthel neville. welcome to a brand in our inside "america's news headquarters". eric: thank you for joining us i'm eric shawn. democrats digging in their heels and fighting back. house speaker nancy pelosi and us in the vote to trained over the presidents veto. that is set for march 26. what is predicted that the votes for that are just not there. president trump meanwhile ripping the resolution when he vetoed it. >> congress 's vote to deny the crisis on the southern borders

is a vote against reality. against reality. it is a tremendous national emergency, a tremendous crisis. last month more than 76,000 illegal migrants arrived at our border. we are on track for a million illegal aliens to rush our borders. >> the president just tweeted video of illegal aryans running across the border. part of his offense on this. garrett tenney as you can see live on the north lawn of the white house. garrett? reporter: that white house is confident congress will not be over to override the presidents veto but this fight is far from over. democrats are now looking into what other options they have available to take on the presidents emergency declaration and one possible avenue is through the buildings that congress needs to pass to fund the government past september. including language to rent the president from redirecting congressional funding for his own purposes. democrats are also considering

running a lawsuit filed against the administration by 20 states over the national emergency. on friday in the oval office, president trump described the effort to end the national emergency is dangerous and insisted it is his constitutional duty to keep the american people safe by building a border wall. >> yesterday congress passed a dangerous resolution that is signed into law, would put capitalist americans in dangerous very grave danger. congress has the freedom to pass this resolution. and i have the duty to veto it. and i am very proud to veto it. >> congress is not expected to be able to override the presidents veto. last month the house was about 40 votes short of the vetoproof two third majority. this week the vote would be short. -- democrats will take on the tall order of trying to convince more than at least if not more than 40 gop house republicans to turn against the

white house and the president with their vote on this potential effort to end the emergency declaration. eric: thank you. arthel: -- you have 12 republicans that is voting to essentially block the declaration. are there any elements inside the gop? >> it is notable anytime party members, senators or house members vote against their own president. this is as just noted, the first veto of president trump's time in office a little over two years now. it is something. but is also noted, there is virtually no way the house is going to be able to override the veto. at least on their end. it's really more of a dog and pony show you might say.

an exercise.and then we'll see what comes next. probably the lawsuit and it could take who knows how long. arthel: but nothing really going on inside the gop that we should be paying attention to. >> he did have 12 republican senators split up from their own party. interesting enough, it was not really those up for reelection in 2020 who are most in danger like say, cory gardner of colorado, thom tillis of north carolina, they stuck with president trump. they were cemetery members like lamar alexander of tennessee, some others in michael institutionalists. rand paul kentucky. they went against the president but so far it doesn't really change anything because the measures and vetoed and now we are right back where we started. arthel: and the presence veto on this is no surprise. he said he was going to do it. however, how effective will the fight for the wall be in the presidents bid for reelection?

his base wants the wall but the majority of americans are not for it. >> i think both sides feel like they have something to gain. after all, this is president trump's bread and butter issue. it is what he's been talking about since he entered the republican field. the race in june 2015, although after winning a year and and a half later. during his time in office. democrats feel emboldened because in the 2018 midterm elections, they did so well in the house they picked up at least 40 seats running against president trump on this issue. so it's up to voters to decide in the next 18 or 20 months or so. arthel: that is exactly probably the presidents strategy. he had control of congress both chambers for the first two years. and he waited until now to really push this wall again so he can make it yet again, a campaign component. >> that's right. both sides again, have something to gain from this. democrats wanted to show their

own liberal base that they could stand up to president trump. they can say no, we are not doing with the president wants us to do. president trump can say, i will look at the crazy liberals on the left. they are not for border security, they're not for stopping illegal immigrants coming to the country. it is the debate that each will kind of dances around each other and just keeps having the same argument over and over again. arthel: let's take a look at beatles by recent presidents during the first 26 months in office. we know president trump has one. president obama at this time in office at two. george w. bush zero, bill clinton, zero. president george h. w. bush, 20. ronald reagan 15, jimmy carter 19. in president trump's verse veto he's taking spending positions from congress. does that make his veto stand out? >> i think this one is notable. because this is for an appropriations bill. usually, this kind of bill gets worked out before they get sent to the white house. usually presidential vetoes

come over hot button social issues on abortion, or something or same-sex marriage, something of that nature. in this case, usually both sides of pennsylvania avenue can work out an agreement on spending. ahead of time. that did not happen this time. and i think both sides want to make their stand and again, it is no accident that president trump shows this as his first veto. it is very symbolic and substantive as well. arthel: and president trump 's veto will likely not be overridden. so how do you see this playing out? >> i think the next big thing to watch is a lawsuit that as was noted, house democrats are considering joining.they are actually in their legal filings probably going to point to the fact that this was opposed by republican members. that it was shot down. one way or another in both chambers of congress. even though it was not overridden. they will do that combined with

the fact that border crossings are generally down, a bunch of other facts and figures. i think they want to see how that plays out. this was actually the original strategy that i think both sides really wanted. besides that whole government shutdown over this very issue. they just wanted to get straight to the lawsuit. and figure out what the courts will say. arthel: dave, we need to leave it there. thank you. >> thank you. arthel: eric? eric: fox news alert on yesterday's deadly mass shooting in new zealand.the death toll now increased to 50 victims. this is the man accused of opening fire has appeared in court. the nations police commissioner had this update moments ago. >> it is with sadness that i advise that the number of people who have died in this awful event has now risen to

50. eric: kitty logan has more now from london. what do we know about the suspect? reporter: please have just a few moments ago confirm that the 28-year-old prime suspect is the only person being charged so far in relation to the shootings. the other two people if you remember who were arrested on friday, they have been released. they say they are doing their best to keep mosques say. here's what they have to say. >> security across the country, the new zealand police and other emergency services remain absolutely vigilant. to keep all of new zealanders and everyone who lives here or visits here, safe from harm. reporter: earlier today, the suspect appeared in court. the court video you see here, his face was blurred on orders from the judge but what we could see is that he wore a white outfit, very closely guarded. he remained silent throughout

the hearing. however, this is the man who apparently claimed responsibility for the attack. the detailed manifesto revealing his white supremacist beliefs are noted. we were able to learn a bit more about his background through that. also they confirm he traveled to turkey, pakistan and elsewhere. he had a fascination with religious conflicts. meanwhile, forensic work at the scene of the shootings is continuing to try and gather more evidence for the court case. also they trying to establish if anyone else is linked to this main subject. but at this stage they do believe this gunman acted alone. although they cannot rule anything out. eric: understandably come new zealanders are still stunned and shocked and grieving. and questioning all of this. like many around the globe. reporter: that's right. new zealand is very peaceful country. a quiet place. and this is all that they've known the entire history. we saw people that christ church laying flowers, lighting candles and dealing with the

shock they're dealing with. many of the victims are also sadly refugees that fled violence in their own home countries. new zealand prime minister today went to meet with members of the muslim community. to try and offer some reassurance and give her support for the community as well. eric: thank you so much. arthel? arthel: eric, thank you. air canada and united airlines become the first major north american carrier to speak on how to -- how the grounding of the boeing 737 max-8 and nines after the crash that killed 157 people. we are joined now from laguardia with the latest. jackie? reporter: boeing announced they will be rolling out a software update to their 737 max jets and it should happen over the next couple of weeks. it is an up date -- they been

working on this with the faa since the lien aircraft in indonesia in october. monday, they said they were working closely with the faa on the update and it should be approved by the faa no longer than april. meanwhile the travel may be impacted whether or not you're scheduled to fly on a 737 max jet. airlines are observing the grounded flights into the other planes. there been some cancellations while they shift things around. some areas are being disproportionately affected. for instance, american max-8 plans are mostly using flights to and from miami hubs. in hawaii visitors and convention bureau say nearly 2000 passengers fly on their jets each day. a premier travel destination. >> this week all the way through tuesday, it is full. they have got to get all of these people out of honolulu. they can take the airplane off of that domestic group and send it across the water. where it is more needed. reporter: the good news for

those travelers is these airlines are replacing the max plans with some bigger, nicer planes and some roots that were affected by the grounding have had multiple flights per day. the impact there is minimal. the one airline not impacted by any of this is delta. they don't have any 737 max jets. southwest though does come in with the most at 34 planes. the other half of the equation is the canceled trip insurance, price comparison site ensure fly since it is already 20 percent call volume increase and expect a wave of thousands upon thousands of insurance claims for canceled flights. arthel? arthel: jackie heinrich, thank you so much for the update. eric: the senate is set to hold a procedural vote on the green new deal expected by the end of the month.without ocasio-cortez to launch a resolution, their question the motives of senate majority leader mitch mcconnell. and bringing that to the floor.

[chanting] reporter: mitch mcconnell is teeing up a procedural vote in the senate for the green new deal. democrats running for the present will have a chance to vote yes in support of it but congresswoman ocasio-cortez smells a stunt. >> i look forward to a real vote -- reporter: before a vote in the house, the gop is hoping for hearings. >> only through the scrutiny of the legislative process can the american people get a true sense of how these proposals and soundbites translate into actual policy. reporter: republicans on dealing with concern. union members wrote to aoc to say we will not accept proposals that could cause immediate harm to millions of our members and families. but the congresswoman says, union workers concerns are

misplaced. >> there is so much work to do with reinvigorating the entire workforce. reporter: one thing that she's not ready to say is which of the 2020 democrats running on the green new deal has her vote. >> is it too early to ask what you think about the 2020 democrats? talking about the green new deal. everyone gets asked about the green new deal. >> it's a winning issue. reporter: mitch mcconnell things that it is a winning issue too. he called the vote for green new deal he does not support. he was the presidential candidates instead on the record voting for this measure that is expected to fall way short of passage. in washington, peter doocy, fox news. arthel: has voted unanimously to make the much-anticipated mueller reports public but senator lindsey graham blocked it from reaching the senate floor. what the senator and north kore

house voted unanimously to make special counsel robert mueller 's report public senator lindsey graham has blocked the same resolution from reaching the senate floor. meanwhile south carolina republican who chairs the senate judiciary, is calling for a special counsel to probe the investigators.>> will let mueller look at all things trump related to collusion and otherwise. somebody needs to look at what happened on the other side and find out if the fbi and the doj had two systems. one supporting the person they wanted to win, and one out to get the person they wanted to lose. some of these people have been fired for lying. it is now time to have a

special counsel look at all things 2016, not just trump. arthel: okay let's bring in richard st. paul, defense attorney and member of the republican trial lawyers association. and michael j moore former u.s. attorney in georgia. and partner with -- good to see both of you. >> good to see you. arthel: thank you. richard you will start. senator graham saying listen, people block the resolution to make the mueller report public. if the resolution includes a provision calling on the justice department to appoint a special counsel to investigate what senator graham is calling the justice department misconduct. in the handling of the investigation of 2016 presidential nominee hillary clinton 's email use. in the carter page foreign intelligence surveillance application. richard, is this a valid request?or a political

maneuver? >> two things. one, the resolution really doesn't mean anything except for it is feel-good. according to the law the special counsel will take the report, give it to the attorney general, william barr who will then determine when he delivers to congress. so it may be nothing at all. that is one. secondly, senator graham makes a good point! we have come this far to understand that at least several fbi agents and someone in the department of justice has picked sides and in the past presidential election to the point where we can see that there have been some abuse of power there and they're trying to promote one candidate over the other. certainly, if someone in the doj or fbi agent broke the law, it certainly deserves to be looked into. arthel: michael, how do you see it? >> i think it is a desperate move by lindsey graham. let's be real about it. we are president trump and what we are looking into is whether or not affect someone did tilt the scale and promote one side over the other. those somebodies where the

russians. here he is simply saying he does not want all the information to come out. he needs to wake up and realize we are past the 2016 era of that discussion and here we are. he sort of had a lackluster career in the senate. i feel a little sorry for him, he was always in the shadow of john mccain. john mccabe was always considered the -- john mccain was always considered the maverick. he sort of -- arthel: i think senator graham has relevance. >> you may think so but let me address a couple of things about that. let's think back even to the kavanaugh hearing. his great tirade at the end would've much been more believable had been from the heart and not from notes written in front of him. he is chairman of the committee, -- there's no reason to talk about going forward, looking back at some kind of

question on the fisa application. we need to know happened with the russians because we now into 2020. that is the bottom line. we'll use us to learn? i mean are we going to use it to learn and put this to some positive thing? or just keep relitigating -- arthel: richard, let me ask you question here. wouldn't president trump in his closest advisors want to merely report released so they can put to rest, any questions of collusion or obstruction of justice or any wrongdoing? the president says he has done nothing wrong. >> absolutely, look, the whole russian pollution has not been proven. all of these many indictments -- arthel: i also said obstruction of justice and any wrongdoing. full transparency. >> all of that, arthel. absolutely.

he would want that to be clear. almost 2 years and millions of dollars in the mueller investigation, many indictments, none attached to the president. if the report doesn't have any say that ties the president to russia collusion, obstruction of justice or anything else impeachable, the report is entirely useless. because it doesn't, what they are looking for is not there. arthel: had you know that? we don't know what is in the report yet. >> i'm saying it would be entirely useless if it doesn't tie anything to the president with obstruction, russian collusion or anything impeachable. that was the purpose of this particular report. we will see was in it. we already know a lot of what will be in it because there been many indictments, none of which talk about the president's obstruction of justice or russian collusion. second, just because something happened in 2016, we know now that the department of justice met with the clinton lawyers to limit the amount of -- arthel: i had to get michael back in here. except for the parts that it

would be illegal to release, if in the end attorney general borrower chooses not to fully release the report to congress and not to fully release the report to the public, will there be a political price to pay? if so by whom? >> yeah, i think there will be a price to pay and i think you understand why he was made the nominee. i think that is where we are at. the bottom line is we've had the report out, special counsel investigation, it ought to be allowed to be public. the problem republicans will have, is that the democrats control the house of representatives which means they control committee chair, have oversight authority and investigative power. they will get the information out. so this sort of indignation over the report or whether or not it should come out or whether or not there is russian collusion, every has told us that the russians have metals in the election. we need to know why, how, and did they intend to put one candidate interest ahead of the other. the american people have a right to know that. i may be the most conservative

person on the panel because i still believe congress works for me. i still believe in fact, that they are elected by the people to do the people's business and the people want the report out. every polish on that. houser presented god bless i guess nancy pelosi must be extra nearly powerful. she was able to get her entire house to vote unanimously to let the information out. imagine that. imagine all of the members have no voting at the report public. arthel: michael. michael j mora have to leave it there. thank you to both of you. >> get to be with you. eric: amy klobuchar, one of a slew of candidates that are back on the presidential campaign trail this weekend. here she is. independence iowa speaking in an event. we have a live report on her and offer fellow democrats who are out stumping for support across the country this weekend. plus, north korea, cutting off nuclear talks with the us. as it more of their traditional bluster or are they serious? and what happens if they do?

scrambles this weekend to figure out kim jong-un 's next move in the wake of yesterday's announcement. echoing official disclose that kim is considering ditching negotiations with the u.s. altogether and resuming nuclear weapons testing.the worst case scenario for the united states or the secretary of state jumped into yesterday with appointed reminder to pyongyang. >> in hanoi on multiple occasions, he spoke directly to the president. and made a commitment that he would not resume nuclear testing, nor resume missile test is for that is chairman kim's word we have every expectation he will live up to that. reporter: talks between the president and kim fell apart last month when they reached an impasse over financial sanctions. donald trump imposed five rounds of them so far during his presidency. north korea continues to demand sanctions, something the u.s. is only willing to provide after he surrenders his nuclear stockpile of weapons and long-range missiles.

yesterday a spokesperson accused the trump team of taking a gangster like stance. >> i make this clear. the stance of the u.s. will make the situation more dangerous. our supreme leadership will clarify. reporter: the president's initiation is on their hat and hopes on the fact north korea nuclear testing abated over the last year. >> hostages return, have, having stopped missile testing and nuclear testing, we are hopeful that we can continue to have conversation negotiations. >> everyone from secretary of state to the national security advisor to the president himself is proclaimed the cessation of testing to be a top achievement so far. should the north resume? you will be a major blow to the strategy and we are still a major threat to u.s. stability. arthel? arthel: gillian turner, thank you. eric: from on the suspend a former director of communications and spokesman of the united states mission to the united nations in europe.

do you think this a real threat by the regime or more of their traditional bluster? >> i would say both, eric. this is not anything new as you and i both know. covering this conflict for decades it seems. it is the style of the north koreans to come out with these crazy phrases like gangster style approach of the u.s. regime and bluster like this. and at the same time, it very well could take a turn for the worse in terms of negotiations and the high hopes that we had that maybe we are going to see a move toward denuclearization of the korean peninsula and the end of that long war. >> you just refer to covering this as some of your audience know before you went into government service you are a bureau chief at fox news and you and i worked together for it seems decades on this. did we heard the bluster from north korea calling templeton a bloodsucker and a very ugly

fellow and they get personal. here's what the "washington post" says they say the sharp language from the deputy foreign minister was typical tactics. the vice minister accused pompeo a national security advisor john bolton creating an atmosphere of distrust beer but did not directly criticize donald trump. does it mean if anything, that clearly, they do not aim their fire at the president? >> certainly if the amplifier at the president, that would pretty much signal that there is no will to continue any discussion with the president. so it is a clever move by the north koreans to pin blame on secretary pompeo. and the national security advisor, john bolton. but you know, we to see how things unfold here. they very well could come out and directly attack the

president for not conceding at the last summit in which the president decided to get up and go because it was clear that they said anything or showed anything but a desire to move toward the nuclear station. it was really the demands from outside that were impossible for the president and the negotiating team to live with. eric: sources have told me when the president walked out and north koreans couldn't believe it. i mean they were stunned. in the past there's always had, they put out the same thing. another previous administrations have not accepted but here's the president who just said you know, i am leaving, don't let the door slam on the way out. he left, they didn't know what to do. they held a last-minute news conference later that night and now they're put in a position where they have to do something. do you think they will come back and continue the negotiating? do you think they are trying to reconfigure a will -- a way to

do with the president in the way they have not in a previous administration? >> the tough sanctions remain in north korea. that will force an issue one way or another for them. of course you know, to have patrons like china and russia backing the north koreans, it's difficult for the united states to maintain the level of sanctions and to ensure that there will be upheld to a level that is as maximum pressure on the regime. but keeping that pressure on at least internationally, it does have an impact on kim's regime. it is absolutely essential now. and really, will enable the situation to play out whether the north koreans are really genuine about changing the situation. if kim goes back to missile testing and nuclear testing, this whole thing gets torn up and we are back to ground zero as it were.

eric: kim certainly would know that. and certainly, finally, one thing that vice minister cho did say is that they have quote - still a very good chemistry, mysteriously wonderful. and you know that they have exchanged letters in this sort of thing. the president said he felt that kim was telling him the truth. when he talked about his intent not to resume missile testing and the nuclear testing.do you think it finally is a back door, so to speak to try to get the message across that this can be ratcheted down because of their relationship? >> i think that's right eric. i think if the kim regime really wanted an end to the negotiations, really wanted to make the point that they are going to present with nuclear program and they really are not known to have the u.s. will answer by pyongyang, they would have moved much more against

the president and whatever more bluster from the rhetoric coming from there. having said that, it's not a great situation. it is a step back from where we seem to be heading. but certainly, not in the place that we were a year and and a half ago where it seemed like we very well could have had a nuclear exchange with the north koreans. eric: jonathan wachtel, former diplomat, thank you for joining us. arthel: the russia investigation appears to be wrapping up as former trump campaign chairman, paul manafort is sentenced to 7 and a half years in prison. what is next for special counsel? and why people in one state may want to check twice before spending their tax returns this year.

if you have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, every day can begin with flakes. it's a reminder of your struggles with psoriasis. but what if your psoriasis symptoms didn't follow you around? that's why there's ilumya. with just 2 doses, a majority of people were clear or almost clear. and over time, even more people were clear or almost clear. all with dosing 4 times a year... after 2 initial doses. plus, ilumya was shown to have similar risks of infections compared to placebo. don't use if you are allergic to ilumya or any of its ingredients. before starting treatment, your doctor should check for tuberculosis and infections. after checking there is no need for routine lab monitoring

unless your doctor advises it. ilumya may increase your risk of infections and lower your ability to fight them. tell your doctor if you have an infection or have symptoms, or if you plan to or have recently received a vaccine. this could be your chance to leave your psoriasis symptoms behind. ask your doctor for ilumya today, for a clearer tomorrow. eric: washington d.c. is

bracing for robert mueller 's report. supposedly soon but no date certain. this follows a former trump campaign paul manafort 7/2 years in prison as rick gates we are told continues to cooperate with several investigations. what is the latest? david spunt in washington bureau. indemnification when this report will finally be out? >> that is a big question everyone here in washington really run the country wants to know. we don't have an answer but there are signs that it is potentially wrapping up, we do know that republicans and democrats in congress what the report whenever it's released to be made public. president trump tweeted earlier today he wants the same. special counsel robert mueller has had a busy week, paul manafort 7 and a half years behind bars. that's what the judge found in washington d.c.. judge amy berman jackson and roger stone

's date now on the books for november. rick gates continued to cooperate with authorities but we are also learning this afternoon new court documents that the late senator john mccain from arizona and an associate made public in unverified dossier that there were -- known as the steele dossier we talked about this. funded by the dnc. the former senator mccain denied being the source for buzzfeed after the organization published the dossier on the internet. however, where learning over the past two days at mccain did provide part of the dossier specifically the first 33 pages to the fbi back in december 2016. that was just to the fbi. form independent counseling, kenneth starr was on fox news earlier this morning. >> deeply disappointing. we will see. that is what the evidence shows.i am one who keeps saying, don't rush to judgment. but that is what the evidence shows.i'm just saying, i am

very saddened by this. john mccain was an american hero who did so much for the country but this is unfortunately, a very dark stain. >> right now paul manafort is sitting in prison. if president trump were to pardon mr. manafort, he would not be out of the woods by any means. earlier this week the manhattan va announced a 16 count announced charges that merited the ones from virginia. president trump not have the authority to get money -- paul manafort out of the charges if he's found guilty in new york. no word when this will be dropped but when it says it will not just be released to the public online. it is first going to go to the attorney general, william barr. then we will see if it is made public. no question though congress wants it made public. they voted a few days ago remember, 420 -0two --.

eric: according to regulations he may not have to do that. we will wait. thank you. arthel? arthel: if you got an income tax return from louisiana, you may want to hold off on spending it.here is why. the state has announced that a computer error accidentally doubled the refund issued to some residents. some $26 million of accidentally distributed and an effort to recoup it it's already underway with most being done electronically through banks. when the 66,000 taxpayers were affected. the state of louisiana says it is working on a system to prevent such an error from happening in the future. eric: rising waters covering roads and flooding neighborhoods in the midwest. coming up, we were sure the areas that are being hit the hardest.

arthel: major flooding feels nebraska highways and roadways. 53 counties declared a national emergency. adam klotz is tracking this. >> this will continue to be a problem next couple of days. this is where we are currently looking at.

each of these icons is minor flooding. that's the yellow orange color. especially big area there across the upper midwest. portions of the midwest getting into the great lakes area. i do think this will only get worse. i switched from the current to the forecast. you'll start to see more red and purple orange, that means the worst of this is still yet to come. plenty of spots still under flood advisory and warnings. stretching from portions of nebraska into iowa. there are still some spots across southern wisconsin. this right here is the missouri river running down eventually into the mississippi. all of the water will have to go somewhere. it will take several days eventually for this to work its way out of the region. the good news is, satellite and radar is completely clear. we are not concerned about any new forms of rain moving across the area. at least in the next couple of days. as the future radar. you do notice it is clear here saturday into sunday. it will stay clear at least all the way until the middle of next week. it does give us a little time maybe for some folks dealing with this to be able to maybe

put it back together. arthel: thank you, adam klotz. we are back after this. hottest taqueria? and the hottest...what are those? oh, pierogis? and this is the avery's wondering if eating out is eating into saving for their first home. this is jc...
