that is it for this week. thank you to my panel. thank you all for watching. i am paul gigot. i hope to see you all here next week. >> a warning about commercial airlines flying over the persian gulf. could be at risk of being misidentified as tensions grow between the united states and iran. hello everyone welcome to "america's news headquarters" i am arthel neville. eric: hello everyone i am eric shawn. iranian military officials issued a new threat warning that the claim missiles -- jennifer griffin has more from

washington. reporter: some lawmakers received briefing saying that iran was preparing to strike u.s. forces using proxies in iraq and possible missiles on board ships. u.s. officials that have seen signs that iran has loaded missiles onto at least two ships that had been removed. foreign passport holders work with exxon mobil has started evacuating an oilfield in southern iraq which followed the ordered evacuation of u.s. embassy personnel from the u.s. embassy in baghdad. the warning to commercial airliners flying over the wider persian gulf is a reminder that 30 years ago the u.s. mistook an iranian passenger jet for a warplane while protecting commercial ships in the -- they killed all 290 people on board

with missiles. president trump pushed back on his report to his angry with his national security team. >> they put out summary false messages that iran is totally confused. i don't know, that might be a good thing. speak to the present offer to negotiate with iraniansthe message delivered through those that represent the u.s. . a terrorist group raising further back to that iraq could become the site of a proxy war between the u.s. and iran. secretive state, mike pompeo, reportedly told iraqi leaders you're either with us or stand out of the way. and a senior administration official briefing reporter last night said this is an incredibly serious situation. we take it seriously and i can assure you they should to. in washington, jennifer griffin, fox news. arthel: for more reaction overseas let's go to kitty logan in our london bureau.

hello. reporter: hi, arthel. tensions between the u.s. and iran increase. it is very much still just the war of words. today the foreign minister was downplaying the chance of an actual war with the us. the foreign minister said they do not want to go to war. but of course, iran is talking tough as well saying that no country should have the illusion that it can confront it.also accused the u.s. government of what he calls political gameplaying. president trump's is a rent still poses a threat to u.s. troops. and interest in the region. we are seeing slight military buildup there, the uss abraham lincoln in the region now. president trump says also he does not want to go to war. but generally, relations between the u.s. and iran have soured since the u.s. pulled out of the iran nuclear deal. and of course it has imposed

additional sanctions on the iranian government. arthel: kitty logan, incorporated you very much. eric: back at home, joe biden at his first official 2020 campaign rally in philadelphia on the steps of the art museum. those are the rocky steps where he ran up in the movie. the vice president shared a unified message and he attacked the tone of president trump and his administration policies. saying that the president is turning the very foundations of our democracy. bryan llenas has been covering the rally and is at that spot. reporter: former vice president joe biden says he wants to unite the country. he said the country is just sick of the division. he said the people are not divided but the politics is and president trump is the divider in chief.today in philadelphia joe biden had about 6000 people at his first official campaign rally.

he said he wants to restore the soul of the nation and rebuild the backbone. he talks about a public option for healthcare and free community college and he notably spoke about combating climate change days after being attacked by some on the left for being too moderate on that issue. ultimately though, he says none of that matters if they can't achieve one thing. >> we need to insist on dramatic change for the sake of our children. let me tell you something. [cheers and applause] the single most important thing we have to accomplish to get this done, the single most important thing to accomplish is defeat donald trump. [cheers and applause] reporter: he pledged again he will not speak negatively about any of the other 22 democratic candidates but he attacked donald trump throughout the speech. one point saying president trump had not built a great economy. he just inherited one.

>> i know president trump like to take credit for the economy and economic growth and low employment numbers. but guess what? those are the facts. not the alternative facts. president trump inherited this from the obama biden administration. it was given to him just like he invented everything else in this. reporter: pennsylvania is a crucial battleground state. the latest poll shows joe biden with an 11 point lead over president trump in pennsylvania. donald trump won the state in 2016 by less than one percent. the latest fox news poll and shows joe biden lead over the democratic contenders continues to grow. he's at 35 percent, that is up from 31 percent and bernie sanders is a distant second with 17 percent. down from 23 percent. erica, other progressives have

attacked the joe biden for not being progressive enough and to that end he had an interesting thing to say today. he said compromise is not a dirty word. consensus is not weakness. eric: it will be a battleground especially in that state. thank you. arthel: the former vp is talking about his party today. here's what he said. >> i know some of the really smart folks the democrats don't want to hear about unity. this is democrats are so angry that the angry or a democrat can be the more chance they had to win the nomination. i do not believe it. i really don't. [applause] i believe democrats want a unified -- that's what they're about. arthel: we are bringing in the ceo of wpa intelligence and doug shown former advisor to bill clinton, bloomberg or and fox news contributor. good to see both of you. doug, another thing up there on

the podium today, mr. biden called president trump divider in chief saying he scapegoats people that -- >> i think what we've seen from the data available, is that joe biden really having consolidated the democratic primary for now, and i think a lot of people want to hear, the president or his men and women are watching, i would urge them, cut it out, stop the polarization. yes, run on whatever excuse you want. but don't divide the greatest country in the world with the greatest democracy that's ever existed. arthel: chris, vice president

joe biden also sang, working together matters. the american people want our government to work. the company sick of division, they are sick of the fighting. what the president and senators to do their job. how do you see it?is the country yearning for unity? >> i think it is. i don't disagree that the use of a just disagree with the record that joe biden has to stand on. i think the claims are trying to come together and bring unity to the country when he's a man in 2012 the stood up and said republicans want to put african americans back in chains. it was extremist, divisive and anything but unifying. more recently said he wanted to take donald trump up on the gym and fight him. this is not a man has a record of bringing people together and the polling shows he is beginning to extend his lead in the democratic primary. also it says a lot to me like and you mentioned i worked for ted cruz in 2015. like where jeb bush was in 2016 and we saw how that worked out. it's a lot of time to go in the primary and i think even though he's extending the lead you will not find other democrats keep the gloves off and not take shots at joe biden. i think that's when you'll see

this start to become interesting they will open up the floodgates a little with opposition research files on his long record. arthel: did want to respond? the vice president says he will not punch back when it comes to his fellow democratic candidates. >> look, i think it's a good strategy for him if he can stick to it. if his numbers go down he will have to punch back. and in the interest of bipartisan i would tell republicans what he's said in the past is disappointing and sad though he was responding at least in the case of going behind the gym to the president's less unifying rhetoric. but i think both sides, arthel, if we can put the rhetoric of division behind us, concentrate on fixing healthcare, dealing with climate change, bringing the country together to common purpose when we have these global crises, we will all be better off, will have a better

election and a better country. arthel: in fact, chris, the vice president did say this is part of the platform we can hear more about. could this put him back in the white house? >> well, i thing was interesting as he also brought up the economy. other than joe biden was to have a fight on the economy. even in pennsylvania in the last two years 5000 manufacturing jobs have been created under donald trump, 51,000 manufacturing jobs lost in the eight years under obama and biden. by trying to run this sort of rose garden strategy which is really what he's implying he will do, it may work but i think what it also does is remind everyone in the eight years when there was a failing economy. right now you have african-american female, hispanic unemployment at all-time lows. there are more jobs than people looking to fill the jobs. trying to draw a contrast between the obama biden years in the trump years is not exactly a winning strategy for them. i do believe if he is about to

make it about the more social issues it is a more effective strategy.this election is about the economy. i'm confident you'll see donald trump be reelected in 2020. arthel: doug? >> and there's another social issue emerging which is abortion. most americans support the right to abortion. they don't support third trimester abortions. but seven or eight states having passed extreme legislation in the last few weeks, that gives us an opening with the suburban swing voters who voted for donald trump in 2016 but swung to the democrats largely, women candidates in 2018. a huge opening for our party. arthel: a fox news poll poll says joe biden is the only candidate beating donald trump outside of the margin. here it is. joe biden 49 percent. to donald trump's 28 percent come bernie sanders 46 percent. president trump 41 percent. elizabeth warren 43 to 41

percent, kamala harris 41 to 41 percent. and then you have pete buttigieg 40 to 41. chris, i will wrap up with you. according to this bullet lease, vice president joe biden is the strongest contender against president trump.how do you see it? >> he is. i think it's interesting but there's a lot of campaign left i don't think it tells us anything. those numbers look a lot like trump versus clinton in early fall of 2016. the one thing i think is really fascinating but the numbers really the only two candidates have universal name id are joe biden and bernie sanders. it shows just a week of a candidate bernie sanders is in the general election format. the others just don't have the same name id for it to be as interesting i think as the biden numbers are. but again, i think it is way too early for silken national numbers and think they tell us much more than what is a popularity contest right now. the election is, they're still the whole primary much less a

general election. arthel: you do not know who will come up from behind in the end. we will leave it there. chris wilson, doug schon, thanks to both of you. >> thank you. >> thank you. arthel: the influx of migrants at the border forcing the government to transport many of them to other cities and catching leaders off guard. drivers just wont put their phones down. we need a solution. introducing... smartdogs. the first dogs trained to train humans. stopping drivers from: liking. selfie-ing. and whatever this is.

situation at the border. homeland security officials say they will fly hundreds of migrants to several cities across the u.s. in an attempt to ease overcrowding of border processing centers. jeff paul is live from our west coast newsroom with the latest on this. jeff? reporter: the plans are still developing but some law enforcement officials and south florida say they are notified they could start receiving migrants. sheriffs in broward and palm beach saying border patrol notified them that communities could see up to 1000 migrants per month in two weeks. citing stretched resources they are trying to get them away from the southern border proponents of cities across the country as they wait for their immigration court hearings. florida governor ron desantis a vocal support of the president is against the move and says he's going to have a talk with the president.

>> we cannot accommodate in florida, just dumping unlawful migrants into our state.i think it will tax our resources. the schools, the healthcare, law enforcement, state agencies. >> all the politicians and states that are not along the southern border are little more open to the idea. emmanuel cleaver is on the house homeland security committee. speaking to fox news earlier today cleaver says he is not against migrants coming into his community. but there needs to be a specific plan before that happens. >> i think kansas city and many other cities would be welcoming. i certainly would be, personally and would use whatever influence i had to create a welcoming environment. i'm not sure that without a strategy and without knowing some time in advance in preparation that we are going to be at an advantage to them.

arthel: the interim border patrol sector chief in san diego says right now migrants are being flown into his location from texas. but he added, they are still considering whether or not this could include the detroit, buffalo and miami area. arthel: jeff paul, thank you very much. eric: immigration already a major issue with the presidential race. joe biden and his campaign kickoff in philadelphia showed you on the fox news channel this afternoon. during that he criticized the presidents policies. >> the president is the divider in chief. [cheers and applause] he is not the only one. far from it. he is just the worst practitioner of politics that singles out scapegoats and demonizes. he holds out the other as a source of all problems. you hear it. the immigrant, the muslim, anyone different in creed or color or conviction. they are the problem. that is what he says. eric: the host of the jenny weinstein show pyroclastic and

national review online is with us now. you heard the former vice president calling on nations traditions basically called on the history of the legal immigration. how do you think the theme will resonate in the race with the president? >> it certainly will resonate well in the democratic primary. donald trump got elected by taking a knee opposite attack through the republican primary by taking a very harsh stance on immigration. the rhetoric that he used for different, he opened his campaign if you remember in june 2015 by saying that mexico is sending us rapists and drug dealers and maybe some good people were the terms that he is. it's a very clear distinguishing the language from the way donald trump has at least when he ran for president, talked about immigration. eric: and of course the president this week unveiled a new sweeping reform of immigration. but this with the wall street journal says about that.quote democrats do not want to give

us a victory before the election. and the restriction supported do not want to deal. the stem is likely to persist shame for the dreamers left in limbo and for employers who need more workers. elise mr. trump is acknowledging that america needs the world best talent, a reference to merit moving the percentage of merit from 12 percent now to skill-based immigration to 57 percent. you think democrats will go for any of that? >> i think this debate has been effective for the last decade and has prevented any type of solution from actually passing both chambers. sometimes it passes one and not the other. what's interesting here is what president trump is proposing. in many respects is what president jeb bush might have proposed with also the inclusion of probably something to do with the 11 million illegals in the country becoming legalized. but certainly, the changing of

those composition coming into the country to make it more merit-based is something that was a jeb bush proposal. it's likely going to turn off the very people, at least certain wings of the people that supported donald trump in the republican primary. the and culture wing if you will who want to decrease immigration.eric: jeb bush, that's an interesting phrase. as you point out, there is that resistance among some of the hardliners but senator lindsey graham says you have to address it. he is out there saying this is what the senator said about those 11 million. >> i can't imagine a solution to our immigration problems that doesn't deal with 11 million. have to work with democrats and i know exactly what they will want. they want some things regarding the -- to think they can ever get anything about those 11 million? >> the extent that the problem is solvable and something could be passed before the 2020

presidential election, that people won't just be playing politics, i don't think you can get a deal without addressing the 11 million. and to get more without a deal for the presidents wall. both sides ought to come in and actually try to solve the problem. i don't know if either side will do that with 2020 politics hanging over their head. but to the extent that it is possible you need to deal with all of those issues. the 11 million that are in the country illegally, to address that, some form of pathway to legalization if not citizenship. the change in composition to a merit-based system and also portable security including money for donald trump as always wanted and pledged to build more of a border wall. that is the only way you'll get a solution. eric: finally, despite the presidents efforts trying to reform immigration system with proposals he put out. we are the vice president you know really is a talking point for the democratic candidates. and with that going for them, one would assume they will not let up. >> i don't know, it is hard to

see if either side for some of these politicians want to actually come to a deal.in some ways, they see this as politically beneficial to them. it's really unfortunate because it's a real serious problem, there is real suffering going on and i think there is a solution that handed people took the politics out of it. and actually focused on fixing the problem but sometimes they see benefit in keeping the issue alive. eric: those are some people rail against the city retina washington what happens there sometimes. jamie, good to see you. thank you so much. >> good to see you. eric: farmers are calling fell. economic pressure they are facing with the trade war with china. coming up, how washington is coming up, how washington is responding. with feedback to help you drive safer. giving you the power to actually lower your cost.

unfortunately, it can't do anything about that. now that you know the truth... are you in good hands? they're america's bpursuing life-changing cures. in a country that fosters innovation here, they find breakthroughs... like a way to fight cancer by arming a patient's own t-cells... because it's not just about the next breakthrough...

it's all the ones after that.

now's the really fun part:m car. choosing the color, the wheels, the interior. everything exactly how i want it. here's the thing, just because i configured this car online doesn't mean it really exists at a dealership. but with truecar, i get real pricing on actual cars in my area, i see what others paid for them and they show me the ones that match the car i want, so i know i can go to a truecar certified dealer and it'll be right there waiting for me... today, right now. this is truecar.

i comparison shop for everything. big stuff. little stuff. floaty stuff! everything. i even comparison shop loans - right here. a lot of people forget to do that, they just go to their bank. but going to lending tree is like going to hundreds of banks. it's so easy! i shopped and compared for these noodles, and saved $2. booyah. i shopped and compared for my mortgage and saved $20,000. booyah! lending tree, may the best loan win. that was good. eric: tornadoes have been tearing through several states from texas to nebraska. all part of a system bringing hail and damaging wind threatening tens of millions of

people. forecasters wanting it could linger through next week. we joined with the very latest on this. hi, jackie. >> as the season begins, in texas more than 30,000 homes and businesses are without power at one point. as of this morning they were at least three confirmed tornadoes across the south-central u.s. after more than 30 preliminary tornado reports. texas, oklahoma, nebraska and kansas got the worst of it. two of the confirmed tornadoes hit texas, one injury and devastating homes. tripster downed trees and left powerlines and streets. the baseball stadium and a water tower also damaged. some homes are reportedly now flooded. in kansas, dash cam video showed a semi truck flipped over with what appears to be the beginning of a tornado there in the distance. in nebraska, oklahoma and kansas they were eight tornadoes reported. within just two hours.

right now more than 18,000 people in the dark in texas. that is down from about 30,000 this morning. when the six dozen people are currently without power in oklahoma. restoration there can be difficult with the storm still active in the state. hundreds of flights are also impacted and there was a likely to grow the course of this afternoon and the next few days. 2000 flights delayed nationwide right now. 400 cancel, dallas-fort worth is the most impact with about one quarter of the flights delayed right now. eric: shows how powerful and sudden it can be. thank you jackie. arthel: and i were going to our meteorologist who is tracking the storms. >> hi! it's been a very active past 24 hours and it is not over yet. we will continue to see the jet stream dropped to the south, already there come powerful and a spring in the energy into the plains, this will be a pattern

allowing all ingredients to be in place. we have a suite of cold air. ahead of it it is warm and the clash of temperatures add to the instability. and then to add to that, golf moisture is also influencing the heavy downpours and flooding. our severe weather is just not across the south-central. it extends all the way into the midwest and it is very expensive impacting many communities. as we look at the last 24 hour storm reports, tornadoes, we are seeing in the white circles here have been very impactful. these are the reports, not confirmed but widespread. also reports early this morning across texas, as well as arkansas. it's been active since this morning. we continue to see the active weather for tonight across interstate 35 as well as interstate 29. kansas city, springfield, little rock still had to be on the lookout for very gusty storms and potential for tornadoes. tornado watch in effect for southern missouri and into arkansas, as well as into

central texas. central texas your warning is until apm central time. as you look at the radar, still very active. heavier bands continued to press their way further to the east and some are still severe warns. tonight it is imperative to stay weather alert and aware. if you live across missouri and towards arkansas we will be looking at flooding downpours, once again, large hail, possibly two inches in diameter and receive the likelihood of damages across the plains. will also be looking at the wet weather into the texas area and into the midwest as we continue through tonight. storm struck further to the east and it will be dying down a tad bit further to the north. we will have a line researching into arkansas even bringing gusty wind. you can see that bo developing. i will continue to bring in the likely four some damages towards the plains. arthel: that is a lot of activity! daji aswad, thank you for the update.

>> we have to be able to make a profit and at least break even and where we are today, the next 45 years i don't see that happening until we have this trade war settled. eric: that is brett davis echoing the voice of the american farmer. worried about the trade tensions which in the u.s. and china say their operating profits for farmers like him who grow soybeans and other crops. this could potentially less for years but the agriculture secretary says the trade deal with beijing will be signed soon. >> they are so hopeful that china will come to his senses and start treating us fairly and except our production that is great quality for china and china needs it. they understand that there is economic duress throughout the community. that's why this $15-$20 billion

that he is committed will go to help farmers survive until we can get a trade deal. i'm hoping you will be for five years. i am hoping it will be this year. eric: will this be resolved? we are joined now -- how are you? it seems that the agricultural secretary is optimistic. is he -- does he have rosy glasses? chrissy might have rosy glasses. the opinion you get will change in part depending on who you talk to. francis, one of the lead negotiators, steve mnuchin, has really been pushing hard to finish a deal, the trade ambassador lighthizer is more skeptical of the chinese intentions and really pushing for the president to be tough on china. the chinese themselves since we

upped the tires are pushing back. i will say we are at a moment right now when negotiations are in a great state of flux and they really could give you their way and turn into a long-term problem. eric: what does that mean for farmers? i mean the guys in maine, far away from kansas are being slowly hit all pretty hard. >> you name it. the farming sector of the country unfortunately, is caught in the crosshairs of the trade negotiation because what happens is we put tariffs on goods produced by other countries, namely, china. and they retaliate by knocking or farmers no soybean producers because they know they are politically powerful, politically important constituents of the president. one piece of good news right now is that we heard from the administration on friday that

we could have a deal with canada and new mexico. the ministration is trying to clear the deck so we can focus on china. we could be taking terrors of canada and mexico on steel goods which would allow them to unwind some of their retaliation on our farmers. that is some good news but john is a huge consumer of american commodities and as long as we have a war with them, it really is going to squeeze our farming sector. the other thing i say is look out for farm debt and particularly, banks in the midwest that are worth a lot of money to farmers that will find the loans coming due without payment. arthel: the initiation has the $12 billion plan for farmers. and the update to 15 or $20 billion more. they say they don't want to hand out. no, they want fair trade and they want a reliable market. and right now they don't have

that. >> exactly. i think the point is they want to rely on government assistance. they want to rely on the crops they produce. the other point i want to make. look up for the u.s. dollar. it is getting stronger. the chinese are allowing they are dollar depreciate. we are going to see the shift to the manufacturing sector. the manufacturing sector is really affected by a strong dollar and if we see this strength and dollar continue we could be talking in a couple of months about how american manufacturers are starting to feel some of the pain in addition to farmers. eric: let's look at the number of jobs around the country that rely on trade with china because we are talking of the farmers will look at this. 121,000 jobs in california. 74,000+ in texas. -- illinois 52,000. i guess it is not just the farmers. chris wright, the interesting thing about the states if you look at some of the big ones,

california, illinois. those are really blue states. what really think it matters to the president is that a lot of these states are red states. these are states they are counting on to support him in a 2020 reelection. this is washington. you have to think about political ramifications and right now, these states are really hung in there with this president. he realizes fighting for something bigger and they are willing to tolerate some short-term pain. but if it really drags on at the wonder some of these states will say wait a second, this is taking too long and the costs are too high. eric: finally, if we looking at a broader view on this whole thing besides just happening now, the americans have had an interesting point of view. quote china has already lost the trade war. consumers might still for the

-- the prospect of cooler trade relations with china may provide the united states with an opportunity to expand ties with other asian nations such as vietnam and india. you think in the long run, what will result will be healthy and be in a better place? we are not. >> i think there is a consensus in this town. there's so much disagreement in washington. there's a consensus and the president has support from democrats that the chinese need to be confronted. you know, we kind of lock them into the global trading system in 2001 with the wto. and they didn't play by the rules. they still technology, they did not open the markets to the company so i think there is a real agreement in this company that you have to change the game that we are playing with the chinese and confront them. i like the article, i would not conclude that the chinese have already lost. unlike our country, which is a

democracy. they are an authoritarian state. there playing for a long run. and they are certainly experiencing economic pain right now. probably more than the united states is. but i think this government in china is prepared to tolerate pain and take this fight as long as it feels it needs to. i think they want to get a deal done but they also have this also didn't want to be seen to their own people is being pushed around. eric: meanwhile it means uncertainty for the heartland of our country, the farmers. jon hilsenrath, good to see you. >> thank you. eric: and

i felt i couldn't be at my best wifor my family. c, in only 8 weeks with mavyret, i was cured and left those doubts behind. i faced reminders of my hep c every day. but in only 8 weeks with mavyret, i was cured. even hanging with friends i worried about my hep c. but in only 8 weeks with mavyret, i was cured. mavyret is the only 8-week cure for all common types of hep c. before starting mavyret your doctor will test if you've had hepatitis b which may flare up and cause serious liver problems during and after treatment. tell your doctor if you've had hepatitis b, a liver or kidney transplant, other liver problems, hiv-1, or other medical conditions, and all medicines you take including herbal supplements. don't take mavyret with atazanavir or rifampin, or if you've had certain liver problems. common side effects include headache and tiredness. with hep c behind me, i feel free... ...fearless... ...and there's no looking back, because i am cured. talk to your doctor about mavyret.

eric: presidential candidate senator bernie sanders calling for a federal ban on building for-profit charter schools. this during a major education policy address he gave in south carolina. sanders vowing to impose a moratorium on using taxpayer money on charter school expansion. if he is elected president. >> wall street executives, silicon valley ceos and billionaires like secretary betsy devos has been using these schools as a way to privatize the public education system. take money out of public schools and teachers unions. eric: a speech marking one day after the 65th anniversary of the supreme court ruling brown versus board of education. which of course made segregation in public schools in the country is illegal.

arthel: attorney general bill barr speaking exclusively to our bill hemmer in his first t.v. interview since becoming attorney general. judging on several aspects of the russia investigation. garrett tenney is in washington. reporter: allowed democrats aren't happy about the attorney generals pursue investigate the investigators. many say he's only launching the probes to protect president trump or to deflect attention from parts of the mueller report that are more unflattering for the white house. an interview with the attorney general -- regarding the government handling of the case. >> if we are worried about foreign influence, the very same reason we should be worried about whether government officials abuse their power and put the thumb on the scale. and so, i'm not saying that happened. but i am saying that we have to look at that. >> so far bill barr cities

[chanting] >> after the past overwhelmingly, they chanted shame, shame, shame. >> think in a liberal that was raped they will know within eight weeks she is pregnant is absurd. and to think there is no exception for her to have an abortion is just criminal by itself. >> the vote came down almost along party lines.

however, a republican from the baldwin area voted no. he told me he has heard from constituents who upset the bill does not allow an abortion in cases of rape or incest.plus he said, he told pro-choice groups that the stipulations had to be in the law when he ran for office. after eight weeks in gestation it is going to be illegal. >> we are pro-life and are protecting life itself. i know that there are mothers that have died with legal abortions. we lost 60 million children. and that's really what this is all about. >> one republican is getting a lot of national attention, he is from cape girardeau. he used the word consensual rape. he later said he misspoke. >> and we misidentified that

citing national security concerns but this marked a significant escalation in the u.s. china trade fight. there are reports the commerce department is considering scaling back huawei trade restrictions to help existing customers. for now though a u.s. china trade deal seems to be further away than ever before. the china foreign minister he spoke and said if there's going to be any sort of trade deal, the u.s. needs to show sincerity but it menstruation officials say it was china who initially failed to keep their word. >> firstly they need to talk with principle. it must be mutual respect, and mutual benefit. secondly they must keep their word. they cannot yield their power capriciously. >> low prices compounded by the trade destruction certainly. it is why donald trump -- chris

despite all that there is progress on the trade front with mexico and canada. on friday the president and us u.s. reach an agreement with canada and mexico to lift major tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. mexico agreed to get rid of retaliatory tariffs they imposed on u.s. goods. president trump says he's hopeful this is a sign that soon the u.s. -- usnca would be good. >> even charging is extremely high tariffs. as much as 285 percent or more for our agricultural products. hopefully congress will approve the usmca quickly and they'll make our economy even more successful than it already is. reporter: senate minority leader chuck schumer released a statement saying in part i have always said that we should be focusing our efforts on china, not a mexico, canada or europe. it is a good thing these tariffs will be lifted and we should urge our allies to join us in preventing china's predatory practices.

he went on to say that there are still many outstanding issues that would need to be resolved in order for democrats to support the usmca. eric: thank you.a former cia officer convicted of selling military secrets to china. and received a 20 year sentence for the crimes. prosecutors say kevin mallory was paid $25,000 for the information. they say he potentially endanger the lives of others. evidence in the trial included surveillance video which prosecutors said showed them scanning classified documents onto a digital memory card and a post office. the justice department says he traveled to shanghai in 2017 to meet with the chinese agent. he did that twice. the attorneys say they will appeal the conviction. arthel: new development on the border crisis at home. the border patrol says it plans to fly hundreds of migrant detainees to san diego for processing to help relieve crowded facilities in texas. migrant families could also be flown to other places away from

the southern border. jeff paul is following the story live from los angeles. reporter: border officials are still developing a plan on exactly where migrant families could be sent. some law enforcement officials in south florida say they are ready been put on notice. shares in broward and palm beach county same border patrol notified them that their communities could see up to 1000 migrants per month. starting around two weeks. citing strapped resources and overcrowding in shelters, border officials could end up flying migrant families away from the southern border. they will be funding to cities across the country as a way for the immigration court hearings. the florida governor ron desantis is a vocal supporter of the present says they cannot afford dumping migrants into florida and will fight any such plans. >> this was not something that came down from the white house. this is something that came out of the agency. angela sometimes the stuff happens and so, it will

ultimately i will have to talk to the president about it. arthel: the governor feels this could taxes states resurface, not all politicians share his views. emanuel cleaver on house homeland security committee speaking to fox news a little while ago. he says he is not it is migrants coming into the community he serves but there needs to be a specific plan. before that happens. >> kansas city and many other cities would be welcoming. i certainly would be personally. and would use whatever influence i have to create a welcoming environment. i'm not sure that without a strategy and without knowing you know sometimes in advance and preparation that we will be an advantage to them. reporter: border patrol san diego confirms migrants are being flown to that sector right now from texas. they are still considering whether or not to advisor could include the detroit, buffalo and miami sectors.

arthel: jeff paul, thank you very much. >> at the government he was looking at whether or not the trump campaign had conspired with the russians but he was not going back and looking at the counterintelligence program. and we have a number of investigations underway that touch upon it. eric: that is the attorney general william barr speaking exclusively with fox news when he sat down with bill hemmer. he talked about the origins of the russia investigation paid me while the democrats allege he lied under oath. the attorney general denies that. congress is to win for testimony from robert mueller reportedly though, it might not take place. if it does, until sometime next month. garrett tenney on top of all of these developments live in

washington. reporter: the attorney general did not reveal a lot about the ongoing investigations into the origins of the trump-russia probe but he did point to a specific timeframe they are looking into between election day 2016 and the inauguration a couple of months later. he says there were some very strange developments. bill barr specifically referred to a january 6 meeting at trump tower were intelligence officials briefed then president-elect donald trump about russian election meddling and about the infamous steele dossier. details of the meeting were later leaked to the media and bill barr told bill hemmer it is important for the american people to find out if there were any wrongdoing by their government. >> if we worried about foreign influence, for the very same reason, we should be worried about whether government officials abuse their power and put their thumb on the scale. and so i am not saying that happened but i am saying that we have to look at that. reporter: many top democrats argue that bill barr is trying

to defend the president with these visitations in this morning congressman -- slammed the attorney general for defending his actions as anything but that. >> the deep state conspiracy theory which the attorney general of the united states had in that statement that had not seen before, is a classic right-wing authoritarian propaganda move. it kind of stab in the back thesis that there are people inside the government who started all of this and concocted it. we know that it is an absolute fiction. reporter: barr called this part of the usual political circus. eric: thank you so much. arthel: defense officials are brief in congress on the situation with iran. what is the way forward? that is straightahead. fact is, every insurance company hopes you drive safely.

and an airliner was shot down accidentally 30 years ago. jennifer griffin has more from washington. reporter: some lawmakers received the classified briefing from the security officials on friday. explaining some of the intelligence that u.s. national security officials say showed iran was preparing to strike u.s. forces using proxy forces in iraq and possible missiles on board ships. with the uss abraham lincoln now in the gulf, yes officials say they have seen signs of missiles that they say iran has loaded onto at least two ships have been removed. foreign passport holders working with exxon mobil to start evacuating an oilfield in southern iraq. which follows the order to evacuation for u.s. embassy personnel from the u.s. embassy in baghdad. that warning to commercial airliners flying over the wider persian gulf is a reminder that

there is a u.s. mistook an iranian passenger jet for a warplane while protecting commercial ships. the u.s. navy fire two air missiles killing all aboard. and the president pushed back that he is angry with his team. >> they put out so many false messages. reporter: the president offered to negotiate. he is pulled out of the nuclear deal a year ago and listed iran islamic revolutionary guard corps as a terrorist group raising fears in baghdad that iraq could become the site of a proxy war between the u.s. and iran. senator state, mike pompeo comer poorly told iraqi leaders you're either with us or stand out of the way. and the senior demonstration official briefing reporters last night said this is an incredibly serious situation.

take it seriously and i can assure you, they should to. eric: thank you so much. arthel: thank you. foreign is now we bring in retired army lieutenant colonel, daniel davis, senior fellow and military expert defense priorities. as you have had a few days to say with this, monitor the maneuvering and back-and-forth high-stakes rhetoric, what is your take on all of this at this moment? quiz i think some people may be in the ministration are trying to convince a president somehow we gain by posturing things and sending signals with the aircraft carrier, the battle group that was in early with the removal of the unessential people out of baghdad. i think we need to tone it down a little. [bleep] with removal of the missiles from the ships, that should give us any reason we need to kind of lower tensions because when you keep talking things like this and you stir up tensions, any mistake or action could trigger,

operations that could spiral out of control. we need to know that our military, just the normal posture, keeps us actually safe in anything iran may attempt we can handle with our existing forces. >> how important is it for the president, the national security advisor john bolton, secretary of state and all of the key decision-makers to be on one accord on policy and publicizing america's position? >> i think is very important. things a really good point. and i would like to see pompeo get a little bit more on board with the president because they built in outfront over the last two or three weeks even really with statements and some stern comments about the possibility of war. and you see the president saying i want to talk to iran,

i'm not looking for work. that is what they need to preach right now. i would like to see them get in accord with the president. arthel: any case of good cop and bad cop here? >> i would think so. it is very clear that there's one cop that matters and that is president trump. i don't think we gain anything by sending seemingly in a just disparaging messages because everyone knows that president trump is the sole person i will call the shots. arthel: but he says i don't know why they're going out saying these different things. >> i mean, that is exactly what i'm saying.i like to see the president rein them in a little bit more and make sure they're speaking on one accord and that will be in accord with his comments about we need to keep things calm down. arthel: is to run saying the u.s. should never have pulled out of the iran nuclear deal? are they saying this? and if they are, what is their goal here? >> they been saying that from the beginning. they've never said anything besides that since may of last

year. what they're trying to do is trying to get the remaining parties of the nuclear accord, the european powers, russia and china to actually make good on their promises so they can continue to make good on their commitments which according to the united nations, and the state department, and the last time, they are actually abiding by. they want the other side to also abide in there saying if they don't come through then within 60 days, iran will suspend some of the things that they've been doing within the agreement and that means they will refine nuclear materials to higher grade and keep larger stocks of heavy water which are necessary components for the nuclear program and it can be problematic. arthel: right. you feel that iran has earned the trust of the u.s.? and the allies? or does it have to be keeping your enemies close? if that is the case, the latter, what is the most effective way to deal with iran? i mean talk about this diplomacy, sanctions --

>> i think we made a mistake by pulling out of the jcpoa. they were abiding and so they were restraints and because we were party to it with standing where we could say something. by pulling out, we now do not have standing. so we can accuse him of breaking a rule or agreement we are no longer part of. that is the way it is, it's what we have done. that's why i do encourage the president to make good on this list talk them and see if we can find an agreement that we can all agree to. everyone can find a win so we can get the possibility of war off the table because it would be catastrophic for everyone. arthel: of course. you have this wrong? could the president re-sign and get back into the iran nuclear deal? >> without a doubt he could. but unfortunately, i think he is kind of you know, put his marker out there that is a bad deal and we cannot go back. but it does give him the

opportunity to say let's go ahead and make a new deal. let's get together and talk and see if we can find common ground where we can make a deal that i can say to the american people will keep us safe and tehran can abide by and still be able to take care of their people. arthel: were the other countries they would have to sign off on that as well? >> if we went back into it it would work. but if not of course they would have to agree with it as well. but i think their significant incentive to do so. if we can come up with anything that washington and tehran can agree to i feel those nations would be as well. arthel: so you cannot say here's one that america has with a new agreement. we can sign up for this while the original deal still place for the other countries. and they are adhering to it. >> i mean it's always possible. i suspect especially diplomatically, any of the nations would be happy with anything that lowers tensions

between tehran and washington because they don't want there to be war either because they have economic incentives that they want to go to and they have mutual trade that they want. especially with the energy as well.nobody wants more and i think they would approve of that. arthel: colonel davis, we have to leave it there. always a pleasure to speak with you. >> always my pleasure. thank you for having me.eric: a shocking new report commissioned by ohio state university. 18 doctor sexually abused male students for more than two decades. independent investigation found many university officials knew about the abuse but did nothing to stop it. doctor richard strauss on the right killed himself in 2005. accused of abusing at least 177 young men. who participated in 16 different sports before he retired from osu with honors. university president calls the funniest quote - horrifying and heartbreaking. >> from the very beginning really have complete empathy

about any of the 22 democratic candidates. he focused on president trump today. he said policy specifics aside, the single most important thing democrats have to do is defeat donald trump who he called the divider in chief. >> we watch the president for three years. look at what he's doing. instilling fear. i mean not joking! instilling fear. selling division, stoking racial division. undercutting every institution designed to check the abuse of power by the president or anyone else. reporter: joe biden believes he can win a back the lou color working-class voters that voted for trump in 2016 a state like pennsylvania, michigan and wisconsin. trump won pennsylvania in 2015 by less than one percentage point becoming the first republican to do so since 1988. the latest poll shows joe biden has 11 point lead over donald trump in the pennsylvania area. he's the only democrat with a double-digit lead over the president in that poll.

president trump will also be making a visit to pennsylvania on monday for a rally. arthel: all right, bryan llenas, thank you. eric: of trumpet menstruation has repeatedly backed off a plan to send migrants to florida. this big backlash. and what would have helped to relieve the overcrowding that is occurring on the southern border withmexico , customs and border protection apparently scrapped the plan the republican lawmakers and ron desantis spoke out against it. >> we cannot accommodate in florida, just dumping unlawful migrants into our state. i think it will tax our resources. the schools, the healthcare, law enforcement, state agencies. eric: our white house correspondent for usa today joins us now. there is such overcrowding at the shelters on the board have to send migrants elsewhere. the plan was to send a thousand

to palm beach and broward counties and it is off after the governor objected. if he cannot handle it, can other places handle it? what does it mean? >> we had to see. i think the plan is still a little in flux. i would say is not a huge surprise florida came off the list and so far as there was a list. obviously it goes without saying florida is an important state for the president for 2020. broward and palm beach county are the two communities that were in play here. they were democratic places. place of the present loss but he still picked up 30 to 40 percent of the vote in both of those counties. in a state that he won by a pretty slim margin, polls suggest will continue to be a competitive race, how many votes can you afford to lose? it is really not a surprise and maybe in part given a relationship with governor desantis, it is not a surprise that governor is out. eric: ron desantis as a longtime supporter of the president. what about other places that, in blue states for example. if some of those officials squawk, will they see a similar result? or will they see these flights

landing and they had to put these people coming over the border somewhere. >> right. i get the sense that there is a palpable frustration in the white house that the rest of washington is not taking the border issue very seriously. you can hear that we talk to senior administration officials. you can hear it from the president. doctor reed too deeply into his words to hear him say i told you so when the numbers of 100,000 migrants a month are coming in you know, the worst in more than a decade. the highest numbers in more than a decade. i think they're looking all sorts of states. the president put out in a tweet a month ago the idea of putting them in sanctuary sleaze. that got some attention from some of his supporters. the idea that democrats do not want to play ball, maybe donald trump would play hardball some of these places. but you know, broward and palm beach insisted they were not sanctuary cities. it is a little unclear exactly where the folks are going to. california has, maybe northern states along the northern border. it is just a little unclear

where they were going, and how they would work with the got there. eric: buffalo is on the list for example. it is ironic they are supporters of immigration and of this, what is going on on the southern border yet, if you want to go fly people in, to your neighborhood, then people are saying that you know some people say we do not want them. and others like bill de blasio say, more than welcome. >> there's been a diversity response to this among some of the cities. sandra cities is not a legal term is more of a political term and people use as a football a little bit. what exactly that means, what it would mean if these people want up there. not entirely clear but also think there's a broader context to think about here. the president, succumbing at present when the time is looking for maybe an additional 1.5 billion on top of that. for humanitarian issues at the border. there is a food and medicine and housing. i think that there's a broader context we have to think about.

and i think it puts incentive on the administration to again, drive home the point that i think they feel is being ignored. in some quarters, have a real problem here at the border. eric: there really is a crisis. a crushing humanitarian crisis that has to be addressed. it should not be ignored. meanwhile, clearly playing into the presidential race. joe biden announcing early this afternoon in philadelphia. he said the president of the states demonizes quote - the other, talking about immigration. here's what the former vice president, part of what he said. >> in all the world, america is an idea. an idea stronger than any army. bigger than any ocean, more powerful than any dictator or tyrant. it offers hope to the tired, the poor, the masses, to breathe free. it's written on the statue of liberty. we seem to have given up on that. america guarantees everyone,

and i mean everyone, be treated with dignity. america gives hate no safe harbor. [cheers and applause] eric: how will this now playing to the campaign?>> there's no issue that it will be maybe one of the most essential issues. i think president trump signal that this week with this legal immigration plan that he rolled out. he talked about a new visa system. getting rid of the so-called lottery system moving to a merit system. i thought perhaps the more interesting thing he talked about was that if he couldn't get it done with democrats in congress that they would train from there were people in the warehouse talking about this really being a proposal to rally republicans behind. i think both the president and democrats are clear that immigration is going to be central. eric: for now it is a standoff but the stakes are there.

university has been unjustly enriched because i should have known or knew about the fraud and they still continue to accept his tuition payments. and then he's claiming that the university did not offer him due process, they did not give him a hearing which is required in the handbook and he stated that he did not sign the application that mr. singer actually type his name of the application and submitted it. i do not think he is a strong case because for the first part, he took part in the fraud. and one of the main defenses to the argument is that the plaintiff, which would be the student, actually acted in bad faith or did something unethical which in this case is fraud. and his father committed fraud. so i do not think it is going to make anyway in the argument as well. at all, i apologize. as far as due process, the university is arguing that they are expelling him because of something he did prior to being admitted to school.

not something he did as a student. so i do not think the student has a strong case at all. arthel: michael, how do you see it? >> and i think it's even a close call at all. i don't think there's any question he should be expelled. let me preface this with saying that the skin has gotten much play as it has, for going to start locking everyone up who use their money and power to get the kids some favors they don't deserve, we will be having these prisons we are who we are. i think is a classic case of someone who is profiting, who is enjoying the fruits of the crime. the fruits of the crime are the admission he got from his dad 's wrongdoing produce no different than if you have a kid driving down the road in a lamborghini and you found it was from his dads drug business. you took his lamborghini way pretty samsara, you may be the innocent party but we do not let you keep things that are derived from wrongdoing.it is essentially how he got to school so i don't think it is a close call at all, given

credit, he looks like a b student and has a lot of guts to think about it. what i expect if i was a school, i would think strongly about filing an answer to the lawsuit suggesting that it should he lose, be responsible for the legal cost for the institution because i can't see any basis, if you want to sue somebody, maybe think about suing his dad. eric: kisha, he is a student, 3.18 gpa. should he be given a chance to stay georgetown on his own merit? or since he submitted info on his record, false information, has he lost the privilege of due process things asking for? >> i believe you lost that privilege because he was wrongfully accepted into the university. as far as the fact that he is a junior, i know he is alleging i lost three years of my life, did well in a did everything that was expected move is a

student. but he knew the consequences of committing fraud. he actually submitted an email stating that he was a tennis player and all of these things to be recruited at the tennis player which the coach at the time accepted bribes. to get him into the school. i do not think he should be permitted to stay there. and i also understand that georgetown is not stating that he cannot take his credits so you may be will to take those were i believe it is up to the school that he may apply to after he is expelled or since he has been expelled as to whether or not they will accept the credits or not. i will not say that he lost three years of his life. arthel: michael, should he get to take his transcript with him? and also, will his future -- will this case determine how future lawsuits will go? >> it may be something people look at. and i think ultimately the question, will they take is chris will be up to georgetown and the institution that decides to accept him. let's say that he is a b student. he'll get into another school.

the argument about three years to make, remember there someone out there who missed three years of being in georgetown student. arthel: didn't get in the first place because their dad did not have $400,000. >> that is exactly right. i'm sorry for the kid, i really am. we may empathize with him but it is not how the system works. we just can't -- arthel: we have to leave it there, michael j. moore, kisha hebbon, thank you very much. >> thank you. arthel: the terminator gets clobbered by not a sucker punch, but a sucker kick. we wish you the video and what learnold said after it. like an "unjection™". xeljanz xr. a once-daily pill for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well enough. xeljanz xr can reduce pain, swelling and further joint damage, even without methotrexate. xeljanz xr can lower your ability to fight infections,

schwarzenegger was blindsided by an attack when he attended an event in south africa the 71-year-old former california governor and movie star was taking pictures. chatting with fans and look at that. some gorgeous drop kicked him from the back. the suspect to did that was apprehended and taken away by security. no motive given for why he did that. arnold schwarzenegger is okay. he seemed to take the whole thing in stride. he said quote - there is nothing to be worried about it i thought i was just jostled by

the crowd. but when i saw that i was kicked i am just glad the idiot did not interrupt -- pope francis stressing the importance of a free press. journalism should be able to give voice to the voiceless. one of the reporters that he met and blessed is all very own, andy kellogg. >> the pope gathered members of the press in and around rome for a pep talk, words of encouragement, and the work that they do, and for a blessing, the acknowledgment that people in the crowd including all faiths and some no faith, but he says we shall consider ourselves and our loved ones blessed and it's a pretty nice way to wrap up the week of the pope played out the fact that they are based out of humility street and says journalists should endeavor to be humble and seek the truth,

do not become megaphones for the loudest voice out there and without doubt, around the world the press must be free. >> freedom of press and expression is an important communicator in the state of health of the country. let's not forget one of the first measures of dictatorships is to take away the press freedom were covered up. do not let the press be free. we need free journalism. serving the purpose of truth, good, honesty. journalism that will help to build a culture of togetherness. kristi warned of the poison fake news, hateful and wood and damage that can be done by that. the holy father asked all of us not to forget wars answer groups that drop from the headlines that have been subjected to abuse in recent times. for many of us the most impressive thing is the fact that after delivering his remarks, the pope stood for 45 minutes meeting and greeting each and every one of the hundreds of people, mirrors the press and families who had

gathered. let's not forget, the pope is 82 years old. and this was not the only item on his agenda today. eric: thank you amy. certainly it was deeply meaningful. the rain and hail and dozens of tenors have been slamming the planes this weekend. a rough saturday in the heartland. we will tell you about that next. 30 grams of protein and 1 gram of sugar ensure. for strength and energy. i comparison shop for everything. big stuff. little stuff. floaty stuff! everything. i even comparison shop loans - right here. a lot of people forget to do that, they just go to their bank. but going to lending tree is like going to
