democratic stronghold. went for president trump in 2060. peter ducey life in hampshire. reporter: pete buttigieg is one of the only democrats that president trump talks about publicly as having a chance of being the democratic nominee. now president is talking about mayor pete personal life. >> don't you think it's great to see the fact the you have guys on the stage with its husband in its normal -- >> i think it's absolutely fine. reporter: the judge so that and told i am more interested in policies that affect lgbtq people and they find that he is in fourth place among primary voters truly elizabeth warren, bernie sanders in the front runner joe biden who pete buttigieg is choosing to challenge on specific parts of his record.

[inaudible] >> i'm a two way and on any of my competitors i will say, i was opposed to the record really he sent supporters about event tonight and he wrote this, if we ignore the voters that does not share our worldview we will surrender our ability to speak directly to millions of american voters. if we don't show up the conservative media will tell our side of the story for us, they will continue to claim american values like freedom security and democracy as property of the gop. we do expect him to be here in new hampshire soon and the folks back home have noticed the south bend tribune points out an article that mayor pete has been out of town about 45% of the time in recent months. kristen: peter will be there all

day long giving us a preview of the town hall. and for all of you at home you can watch the townhall life on fox news at ten eastern and be sure to stick around after the show tickets fox news sunday. an exclusive interview with amy klobuchar. 2:00 p.m. eastern. leland: easy day for chris. trey coming up on fox news sunday. negotiations the stall between china and the u.s. tried to come up with a final trade you. david joining us now with the chopper ministership. he supporters of the president. >> it does not appear this is ending anytime soon, a lot of people waiting to see how long this will go for. we do know the conversation will continue behind the scenes president trump and his team cannot back down and try to get the officials to not giving in to those demands. soybean farmers getting hit hard as they continue to see prices drop and many waiting at the trade war trying in many cases

to just run business. >> farmers to grow soybeans are faced with the possibility of not making money to do so. i will do everything i can to cut the expenses i read albee renegotiating, trained to lower my cost to production to soybeans. >> the president says several times he is considering a bailout for farmers that would literally go in the mail to help them through this difficult time with china. some farmers said they gladly take the money others said they don't want to. pat toomey a republican said he is against a bailout but he's in favor of president trump's approach to china here he is a couple hours ago on fox news sunday. >> this agreement won't solve all the problems. and the tariffs are absolutely painful and dislocating but if in the end, we end up with an agreement that gives us a meaningful reform of china's most egregious behavior we might look back and say this is worth

the price that we are paying. he looked back and said he might, we don't know how long the stalemate will continue between the united states and china. i want to point this out to you, it's a couple of dates old, but interesting. it shows the pulse of the country, it's highlighting the trade war with china, 34 are told to believe the increased tariffs on imports from china help the economy 45% but it hurts the economy. president trump encounter parts president th is the first in thc to the senses happen. kristen:leland: it does not seee they will get there in the next month or so. kristen: congressman justin has become the first republican on capitol hill to kiss president trump of engaging in impeachable conduct enterprise president trump is fighting back on

twitter and gear is here to break it down, this is not a big deal, the first republican member to come out and call for president trump's impeachment, this is after about everyone in d.c. in the 13 after reading the mueller report as lawmakers of both parties for making up their minds long before it was done. they try to mislead the public about the conclusion and not impeachment he states the president actions meet the threshold or congress to take action even tweeting while impeachment should be undertaken only in externally circumstances the risk we face an environment of partisanship is not congress will employ too often rather that congress will employ it so really it cannot deter as misconduct. no surprise president trump fired back framing in part, never a fan, a total lightweight who opposes me in some of the

republican ideas and policies just for the sake of getting his name out there through controversy. indy i say justin is a loser who sadly plays writing to her opponents hand. he mentioned his first republican maker too, of the support of the idea of impeaching president trump and democrats have been quick to respond. michigan responded one 100% in agreement, # time to impeach. , when a member of his own party is calling for the president impeachment, shouldn't that tell you something, trump should be impeached. however, this morning, mitt romney was also a frequent critic of the president said the evidence to impeach president is not there. >> i don't think that there is the full element that you need to improve an instruction case. i don't think a prosecutor would look and say we have all the elements that would get this to conviction. everyone reaches their own conclusion, as i read the report

i was troubled by it and very disappointed for number of reasons. but he did not suggest that this was time to call for impeachment. reporter: gop leadership is blasting that he is only trained to get attention so it's worth noting that the michigan lawmaker is not rule out the possibility of running against president trump in 2020 and a libertarian. kristen: interesting. leland: with that we bring in pennsylvania congressman, member of the house a progression committee, good to see. we appreciate on a sunday, there's a lot of other things to be doing but talk to us. does this change anything? >> what we talk about? >> let's talk about what he said. first republican, in favor of impeachment, do you think this changes materially for democrats? >> a little bit, he has always been thought of as an independent thinker and somebody

who's not afraid to march to his own drum. i have hardly disagreed with him on many of his positions? you agree with him on this? >> let's not rush to judgment either way. they quoted him as saying, i think is right, we have to take a measured approach, i have not read the entire 400 page report myself. the american public will give a chance to the issues that are cover for that. let's not gauge into a rush of judgment. impeachment is in the cards but let's think about it. >> for now, your home state of pennsylvania, joe biden yesterday, a rally in philadelphia, this is what he said about the economy. take a listen.

>> i know president trump likes to take credit to the economy and economic growth but look at the facts not the alternative facts. [cheering] president trump heard in economy from the obama administration that was given to him just like he inherited everything else in his life. leland: reasonably book and agree that the economy is doing pretty well. 2.8% on appointment record, now we look at the fox news poll about who is resourceful for that. nationwide, 44% of americans say that trump and republicans are responsible, only 50% of credit to obama and the democrats as joe biden would like. you've endorsed joe biden is a straight talking point? >> i've endorsed joe he's from her town. i have known him 20 years. one thing i like about joe, i

think a lot of people like about him he is unscripted, he does not have a bevy of handlers imaging him. he speaks from the heart and that is what people believe, people trust him that he means what he says and as far as who can get credit for robust economy that is an internal question, are you to give credit to any politician at all? it out to be the first question. >> when the economy is doing well, will be able appointment, when you blow on appointment, that is not the whole question, there are a lot of people that i talked to that are working two jobs and when you cannot pay the bills with one job to an employment rate is irrelevant. leland: this should be an

interesting question, pennsylvania 17, you won in 2016, president trump one your district about three and half points over heller claim. give us the list of why that happened and why you think joe biden is somebody who can flip your district back? >> i think the first point, we don't want to make the same mistake that military leaders have made, don't fight the last war. what happened in 2016 was president trump versus a strickland and that's a matchup there should be viewed as what they called sue generation of its own kind. you cannot really translate, you cannot transit that and you cannot translate it to the 2020 presidential either. leland: broker, was not latin? >> ask your producer they'll tell you about that.

[laughter] leland: i appreciate it. it's good to talk to you as always. we'll have you back sometime soon. >> happy to be here. kristen: asked me and i didn't know. we're going to turn to the other side and bring a north carolina republican congressman and house of homeland security mark. think of her coming on the show. >> always a privilege. kristen: i would like to start with what your colleagues said, the first republican congressman to call for the president impeachment, a big step, your response? i would start by saying dustin wash is just as much republican as bernie sanders is independent. sometimes people try to create a firestorm around certain issues on this particular one i would choose to believe bob miller in his 12 democrats who found a different conclusion. kristen: do you think republicans might follow suit and call for the president

impeachment after justin did? >> to my earlier, you said other republicans, i know he is elected as republican, i don't see this -- in north kelowna the president trump that 90% i believe there saying specifically to keep on doing what you're doing. kristen: let's talk what immigration the president put forward his merit-based proposal this week and i want to play something when your colleague said this morning on fox news sunday, this is pat toomey. >> i fully embrace the idea that these people with greater skills and education and knowledge should be welcome but i think people with lower skills can contribute as well. i'd be open to expanding that category as well. kristen: would you be open to expanding that category, people with lower skills as well? >> that category has already been expanded, if you look at the president's proposal when i was there in the rose garden, we

are only try to get up to standard what is compared to other international countries, for example is bumping this up to 57% merit-based, canada and australia are still over that close to 63%. we want to make america better by doing so it's bringing in people who contribute. 57% if i did my math, that's still 43% remaining of times and places that we can get people in up to 1 million, 1.1 million to anuradha bhagwati great american that this is all swinging to merit-based, that is not accurate. >> something else the chopper ministration is considering moving migrants to other cities we know they have said that they will not move them to northern border control facilities but i'm curious if you'd be open to allowing some of the migrants into district? >> i think the biggest issue

issue, the crisis of the border, any city is concerned about an influx of infrastructure problems that can break down potentially this is considering all this and i believe the president's right to push back any of this. to ease a bargain closer to the border, if it came to that would you be open to allowing the chopper ministration and dhs to move the migrants to district? >> temporarily, if that's what we have to do to resolve some of the capacity we are seeing at the border i think were open to some of that but we want to make sure his long-term solution. kristen: i want to talk to about something happening in your state. your state may soon join the list of states passing more strict antiabortion bills, and the house made votes to override the veto a bill and what this bill would do would make it a felony for a doctor not to provide care for an infant after a botched abortion.

use for the quick. >> i believe i do, without question. along with over 70% of other americans who believe it's inhumane in humoral to allow a baby to die on some table and some clinic somewhere just because that child and that baby survived a botched abortion, it's ludicrous we're having this discussion. and states were pushing back you have actually suggested the it's a route to consider. i applaud them and i will hope it will continue to keep up the good work. kristen: will watching what happens in your states more. mark walker, thank you so much. leland: new information on the plan the sense migrants across the country, what one border town near said it is his only option. ♪

sunday morning peter this morning, questioning why democrats will hold hearings about the so-called dreamers rather than deal with a crisis on the border. jeff paul on the west coast newsroom with just about the crisis is getting by the day. hi jeff. >> initially border patrol in san diego that they were considering buying migrants to detroit, buffalo in miami to relieve pressure from overcrowded shelters. the chopper ministration appears to be backing off the plane. in a statement acting custom and border pretension sanders has entered accurate reports in the press the cb at trinity bps has no plans to move them which includes photo. sheriff's in public county said border patrol notified them in their communities could start seeing up to 1000 migrants being phone and per month beginning in

much. kristen: congress tries to pass immigration reform bill, new fox room poll finds 54% of americans disapprove of president trump's handling of immigration while 51% they disapprove of border security policy. the mayor of el paso, mr. mayor, thank you for coming on the show. >> that you kristen. kristen: somebody who lives and works right on the border, what is your take on the border security policy and specifically the immigration proposal that they put forward just to speak? >> particularly i like senator graham's proposal, people don't realize, were dealing the humanitarian economic and affirmative crisis. were overwhelmed and it's all because of the antitrafficking victim protection act of 2008 which was only designed for unaccompanied minors coming from

become for your community in your city? >> put those numbers in context for apostle, every thousand have coming to junior today. people to understand they are processed and then released once they have encopresis and data, then released to the sponsors. the problem is the processing, we are overwhelmed of the process. the border patrol just set up to sell cited tents and one of the processing centers that cost our taxpayers for the next four months $36.9 million per people don't realize, this is not a humidity crisis, out of sight out of mind, el paso is the largest mexican border, but the intersection of three states, we have an original population of 200 million people. the largest in the city on the mexico border in the nation. but the processing cannot be handled. we are one ngo that handles much

in there usually an apostle and their sense off to wherever the sponsors are. kristen: to help the process concerns, the chopper ministration has talked about moving some of the migrants to other cities, they pushed back saying they will only be moving them to select cities, but before they came out and clarified the governor of florida said, i'm sorry that our states and our communities cannot accommodate this influx of migrants, when you hear the governor of florida seen something like that how does it make you feel as somebody has to deal with the crisis whether you like it or not dan or dale? >> they don't understand, it's not in my backyard issue. the migrants do not stay there, their processor, they are leaving in 24 to 48 hours wherever the sponsors are throughout the united states. some might be important, so might be in the northeast,

alabamas' strict new anti-abortion law that fast a few days ago. allison betteallison barber is t time white house with more. >> reporter: president trump in what he outlined is not what the alabama law did. the alabama law goes further than what president trump outlined. it only allows for abortion in instances where the mother's life is at risk. president trump did not mention alabama by name. he certainly seemed to be referencing it. writing in part, quote, i am strongly pro life, with the three exceptions, rape, incest and protecting the life of the mother. the same position taken by ronald reagan. we must stick together and win for life in 2020. if we don't say united as one, a all of our gains for life can and wil rapidly disappear. alabama's law classifies abortion as a felony. if a doctor performs one r, they

could spend up to 99 years in prison. kentucky, alabama and ohio banned abortions after a heartbeat is detected, six weeks into a pregnancy. other states are considering similar legislation. the laws are expected to be blocked while legal challenges play out. president trump seemed to talk about legal challenge as well, tweeting we have come very nature the last two years with new federal judges, the mexico city policy and a new and positive attitude about the right to life. the radical left is imploding on this issue. president trump has made it clear that in 2020 he wants and expects abortion rights to be an issue. the president has tried to paint democrats as far outside of the mainstream when it comes to their position on abortion rights. kristin: coming up at 9:00 p.m. eastern, steve hilton has a long

interview with president trump. don't want to miss it. leland: we are hours away from the fox news town hall with mayor pete buttigieg. you can see the stage getting he set, chris wallace getting his questions ready, as is the audience that is about to be there. this is what wallace had to say l earlier today about the growing popularity. >> we have more people that have said they you will show up than for any of the town halls, including bernie sanders and howard schultz. he has interesting things to say. you could argue -- i'm not saying he's going to end up where they did, but it's a little bit donald trump. -- bit like donald trump, like barack obama. he is different and breaks the mold and voters seem intrigued by that at this point. leland: with that we bring in our panel, from pennsylvania.

arnie, first to you. are you ready to put mayor pete in that same group of barack obama and donald trump? >> no, it's way too early. but mayor pete is incredibly intriguing. he's articulate. he has a different sexual orientation which also makes him a phenomenon. but more importantly, he's embraced his faith, he talks about being the mayor of south bend, one of the most sort of challenged cities in the country and he really sort of changed it. and the other thing that's interesting, we're going to be talking about biden, so biden announced yesterday in pennsylvania and there are around 6,000 people that showed up in philadelphia, a big city. when mayor pete announced in south bend, he had 6,000 as well. so here you have both of them, biden and buttigieg, both of them having 6,000 people show up but biden is such a known quantity and buttigieg is an unknown quantity you a.

the enthusiasm was obvious from the beginning. leland: in a state like pennsylvania, biden does much better than buttigieg head to head against president trump. noteworthy that biden beats president trump in a head to head by almost 10 points in pennsylvania. >> yeah, and i think biden would do well here. but leland, i looked at the poll and there's a lot of stuff there that seems to with a bit unbalanced. i would call it closer than that. biden is th the the contender. i think there were only 3,000 people there yesterday. i know they were going through the streets to bring people out for biden. i don't think it was enthusiastic. leland: i will not be in the business of estimating crowd size and leave that to the two of you. >> leave that to donald trump. leland: leave it to you guys. real quickly, you call mayor pete a phenomenon. the town that the town hall will be in is one that was reliably blue, then flipped to donald

trump. what makes a good candidate in new hampshire that may not necessarily expand around the country? remember, mayor pete in terms of his appeal to minorities, especially african american voters, is almost nonexis nonex. >> here's what a candidate for president neats to do. they need to acknowledge people's fears whether it's fear of climate change, the economy, the opioid crisis, people's fears and anger is legitimate. they have to accept the urgency of change. we need to address climate change, we need to address things like the economy, for example. i'll give you a great number. joe biden was talking about the economy that was inherited by donald trump. so in 2000, 64% of people were participating in the workforce. today, it's only 60% of people who can be working are in the workforce. again, you have to thread this together. leland: there's always a disconnect between how people feel versus what the numbers

say. as we pivot, in terms of fears, this is an interesting point, dom, for you to look at. this is what came out about bernie sanders and the foreign policy, quoting the new york times t quoting sanders. as the mayor, i did my best to stop american foreign policy which for years was overthrowing governments in latin america and installing puppet regimes. operative words, i did my best to stop american foreign policy. do independent voters have a fear with that? >> well, i think it's the new york times reporting this. so that's one thing. and two, he was the mayor of burlington, vermont. i'm not sure what he did. apparently, leland, there are rumors of these rallies and others where people are saying very anti-american things, directly contravening our policy in most graphic terms. bernie sanders did not do anything to stop it. that's the thing that started to

swim. swirl. he honeymooned in the soviet unions. leland: he also had an interesting relationship with a commune in his younger years. but -- [ laughter ] leland: this brings up an important point. we'll give you the last word in new hampshire. people in new hampshire have a different view than people in burlington, vermont. are they ready for a socialist bernie sanders who wants to have this super liberal foreign policy. >> are we talking about they're worried about bernie sanders? what about donald trump who talks about how he's in love with kim jong un, what about president trump who basically believes a kgb agent, president putin? i think republicans shoul be she worried about the policy of the

current sitting president. he was opposed to the war in vietnam, the war in iraq, those kind of things -- leland: not going to watch with independents. that's not going to work. >> i'm not defensive. i'm pointing out our president and pointing out a young bernie. they have interesting choices. leland: that is for sure. 7:00 p.m. tonight, we'll tune in to at least dig in a little more on pete buttigieg in new hampshire. >> can't wait. leland: thanks, guys, appreciate it. kristin: as tensions with iran escalate, president trump says he's not interested in waging a new war with tehran, but some congressional leaders aren't quite convinced. we'll break down the president's strategy, next. what if i wielded the power of i could bend reality to my will, with a snap of my fingers! i just saved money with geico. i saved hundreds of dollars! nice! that is a lot of money.

trump administration is marching the u.s. towards war. >> i think what we're seeing unfortunately is what looks a lot like people in the trump administration trying to create a pretext or executio excuse foo to war against iran, a war that would undermine our national security. kristin: we're going to dig into this a bit deeper by talking to the foundation for defense of democracy former treasury department terrorism finance analyst, jonathan shanzer. let's start with this intelligence. how solid do you think this intelligence may be? i know it's obviously tough to say and tough to reveal publicly, but how solid do you think it is? >> having not seen it, i can't vouch for it. what we can say is that initially we were hearing that the brits were disagreeing with the intelligence and all of a sudden they got on-board and we're starting to see the europeans embrace the same

intelligence. in other words, a all of oural lies, it took them a little while but they've come around to this and i think they're verifying what the united states first put out as a major concern. kristin: that's something senator marco rubio said as well, he wasn't thrilled the trump administration took long to brief senior members of congress about what the intelligence was. once he got the chat clas classd briefing, he seemed to come around. there's been criticism that they wanted to be briefed sooner from the trump administration. we know there's going to be a briefing on tuesday. these members of congress, were they right to want this briefing sooner, you think? >> of course, they should be briefed, they should be aware of the concerns that the united states is looking at right now. but let's just put this in perspective. the iranians have been engaging in malign activity across the middle east for a long time, for decades. they've actually killed 600

american soldiers. they have been harassing the israelis. they've been harassing the saudis. this is something we know they've been doing. so this is a more recent iteration of what the iranians have been doing. but our members of congress understand full well what iran is up to more broadly in the middle east. kristin: do you think, based on your experience, in your opinion do you think the trump administration did the right thing in making these -- moving these military assets to the middle east, partially closing the embassy in baghdad? are they in solid ground in doing that 1234. >> without having seen the intel, i think you it probably sounds right. hwe were going to be moving the carrier group to the persian gulf regardless. we moved it up a little earlier as a show of force. i don't see anything wrong with that. closing the embassy, i don't know what the specific threat was, but no one was talking about a march to war when we closed our consolate in basra back in september to

nonessential personnel. this is something we've done for a while in response to security threats. sounds like the administration is taking proper steps. i don't hear anyone talking about a march to war. if anything, you hear the administration's critics how lonhowelling about it -- howling about it without anyone saying it's going to happen. kristin: someone asked the president, are we going to war with iran, he said i hope not. we will see where that stands. h?we have seniors at moorehouse college receiving welcome news at the graduation ceremony today. we'll tell you what made this crowd of students give a standing ovation. ♪ with venus, you're in charge of your skin. so, write your own rules. because no one gets an opinion on why you shave -
