7:01 am
scene with the latest. >> reporter: in the last few minute we saw fbi agents walking around the perimeter looking at the ground and any evidence that may not have been spotted. it is rainy in virginia beach and they want to collect that evidence sooner rather than later but as you were talking about we heard a lot in-depth about the 12 people who were killed, public servants who were contractors, engineers that simply went to work yesterday, people who have been working in this for a few months, others several years. putting up a slideshow making sure they knew this was about them and had no idea they would begun to down. investigators trying to get an idea what happened. several officers in this complex, a 15 year veteran of
7:02 am
the city still an active employee in the city and while the city is for the focus not to be on them, they wanted to make sure the city as a whole and especially their investigators are mourning this morning. >> this is a large-scale crime scene, a horrific crime scene. please understand it is not only physical, emotional and psychological toll on everyone inside that particular building. >> reporter: police are not speculating what the motive would be. they have recovered additional weapons, a handgun was recovered yesterday but not clear what those weapons where. we expect more information as the day goes on. david: to the investigation on
7:03 am
what local officials are doing. on the phone, virginia beach mayor james would. you have all our prayers, this is a terrible situation for wonderful community. how are the families doing? have they all been told? >> all the families have been notified. we are in the process of working through the investigation. we are fortunate to have federal and state partners assisting us through the process. david: how can you support families that lost loved ones? >> just left a briefing where we were talking about how that will be done. there is a room full of people doing nothing but focusing on families of the victims and helping employees in the immediate area and other employees who knew these, these were friends and coworkers, family.
7:04 am
this is tragic for everybody. david: it is a small enough community, they are like family to you. you don't have to be a blood relative to suffer along with them as if they are a member of the family. >> it is a large city, 453,000 people in the city but this complex is reasonably isolated from the rest of the city and people know each other. a lot of employees work together and they deliver service directly to the public. david: besides those who were tragically killed, there was a long gun battle with police. one officer was shot but he was saved by a bullet proof vest. how is he doing? >> he's fine. he was treated at the scene of
7:05 am
the hospital, just to make sure everything was okay. he is fine. david: how long did the gunbattle go on? this person, we are not mentioning his name, the shooter, we prefer not to. how prepared was he for a long gunbattle? he must've been well armed. >> that information we don't have. we do know that the one weapon the police identified, a standard pistol. what we don't know, the police are still working on the length of the gunbattle and going fairly quickly. the police were there within minutes to stop this. it is a horrible tragedy. heather: david: you knew a lot of people that were shot. did you know the gunman?
7:06 am
>> maybe, i don't know. i don't want to talk about the gunman. david: we are interested in motives. government there's another shooting. we always say that and seems like there always is but you wonder how you can prepare for something like this. if you understand whether there was a motive it might help people prepare. >> i feel certain the police department in their next briefing is going to have more information in the investigation proceeds. iron your news clip, the fbi, the police are working, our own detective bureau, they are going through a lot of information with other locations determining exactly what happened. i don't know how you determine what causes somebody to be evil like this. david: how will this change your community? >> our community is certainly scarred. these are people we knew and worked with.
7:07 am
at this point we will pull together and make sure this does not define us but it is long-term to get through this. david: thank you very much for coming on. thanks very much. appreciate it. donald trump delivering a warning to mexico's president, stop the flow of illegal immigrants or we will hit you in the wallet with tariffs. meet a border sheriff who says do whatever it takes and a trump supporter who says big mistake. that is next. carl, i appreciate the invite here. as my broker, what am i paying you to manage my money? it's racquetball time.

>> reporter: the first round of tariffs will take place 9 days from now at 5%, starting at 5% but then jumps another 5% each month all the way to 25% until donald trump is satisfied mexico is doing enough to stop the flow of reaching the with border. mexican officials are hoping to reach a diplomatic solution and they will be having a summit in dc with mexico's foreign minister meeting with mike pompeo. on friday mexico's foreign minister tweeted taking the fight to washington via houston with jared kushner and mike pompeo, negotiations begin with interest and respect for the letter from the president. the white house facing a lot of blowback over the latest move which would make everything from electronics to car parts to food and medicine more expensive for americans. here is the executive vice president of the us chamber of commerce.
7:12 am
>> exactly the wrong thing that our economy needs and to top it off it does nothing to solve the very real problem of the southern border. the problems with migrants crossing the border has nothing to do with our trading relationship with mexico. >> reporter: republican lawmakers criticizing this move. the white house argues it has to do something because congress has refused to take action to address this crisis. >> we are asking mexico to enforce their own laws to stop the people coming in from central america. we have seen a massive influx of people from the region and they have ability legal authority to deal with it and we are asking them to do that. >> the summit will miss the important player, donald trump will be in europe. he is the one with the final say it often overrules his own advisors. a lot of questions about how much real progress can be made during this week's meeting.
7:13 am
david: we see border agents apprehend the largest group of migrants ever on the southern border. 1036 to be exact on one day at one location. donald trump threatening mexico with new tariffs what unless it stops the flow of illegal immigrants. mark daniels is the chair of of cochise county in arizona. you know the complaint and you heard them from the business community. what would you tell those people who say the economy is more important than what is going on at the border? that this isn't the right way to deal with that. >> i agree with what you are saying, the fact that when the economy is more important than public safety, one of the most frustrating things for 31 sheriffs on the southern border to include federal partner for border patrol and ice is the fact that we are down here on this crisis which is a true crisis, not a manufactured crisis a real crisis and nobody
7:14 am
listened so we commend the president, it brought mexico to the table, mexico is vital to solving the problem. david: it is an incredible situation. for over a year the media and most democrats, and a month and a half ago, there is no problem. his words. that must have been frustrating as we see the evidence of the crisis at the border. there was one el paso processing center that on may 7th had 650 people come in on may 8th, they had 900 people come in and the maximum capacity for that processing was 125. they are completely overwhelmed. >> they are. for former congressman o'rourke to say that, they had 131,000
7:15 am
migrants come through el paso processing stations this fiscal year, the second largest number on the southwest border. i looked at his plan. he developed a plan for immigration reform. it takes away everything donald trump is doing and set up an open border policy. he wants to set up more lawyers on the border. we don't need more lawyers. we made administrative law judges and larger just to hear these cases rapidly so they can have final resolution. one out of 10 are fitting the criteria for asylum. emily: david: beto o'rourke said on cbs that 99% of asylum-seekers will come back to their court hearing if they are in contact with a supervisor in the area.
7:16 am
it is a lot less then 99%. i thought it was a minority, not a majority. >> it is 30%. he flipped the numbers on that. he also made a statement. i'm not trying to trash former congressman o'rourke but he is talking about how safe el paso is. going back 30 years el paso was one of the cities to provide infrastructure, physical barriers, technology staffing and funding to make it one of the safest cities and that is white is established that way. never forget white is safe in el paso. part of his plan was to take down the barriers. no more physical barriers on the southwest border. david: not justify them walls are making this immigrant flow so heavy but sanctuary cities going all over. and sanctuary states, washington state, the government signed a measure making the whole state a
7:17 am
sanctuary state and the sheriff of spokane county in washington said the governor should be arrested for that because he is violating the law. what do you think? >> i agree with that sheriff. the chairman for the border security -- we stand united. i challenge each of these leaders in sanctuary areas and cities and states to look at their oath of office which says support the constitution. these things were leaders, use that lightly, are putting us on the front line, sheriffs on the southern border, border patrol, trying to make this safe for our community and beyond and you have sanctuary cities and states -- get through the line and see us. that is a strong disappointment for sheriffs and federal partners. david: you are on the front line and we wish you the best because
7:18 am
you are not getting the support you need from the federal government, not enough from the state government but thank you for what you are doing for the country. appreciate it. >> we are going to keep the site up because that is what we do. heather: david: a longtime ally of the president breaking with donald trump on tariffs next.

[ grunt ] whoo-hoo! pops are your friends going to die? pickles don't be so dramatic. but yes probably. there they are. aww! whaa , whaa, ahh! david: a border sheriff supports donald trump's tariff threat on mexico until they get serious about helping us with crisis at the border. trump supporter who is not a fan of tariffs. chief economist steve moore joining us.
7:22 am
i know you agree the crisis at the border is absolutely real. you have been talking about it for over a year now. democrats have dithered and denied that it was a crisis at all. this is a reaction to the crisis, the president's threat on mexico. is a good reaction? >> i hate tariffs. in some cases they are appropriate to use. i have been supportive of what donald trump is doing with the chinese. we are in an abusive relationship with china but i am questioning this one with mexico. i've worked with donald trump for three years and one thing i learned about him is he is a master negotiator and he uses these tactics to get concessions from countries and i hope that is what happens. the white house meeting with the mexicans later this week. i'm hoping and praying we get an
7:23 am
agreement with mexico to get tough around the border. the timing is wrong here. if we want to win this epic struggle we want to isolate china and not pick fights with our allies. mexico is one of our important allies but we will see how this turns out and we will learn a lot more after this white house mexico meeting. david: the irony of the announcement was it came the day after the president said he was going to fax track the trade deal, the usmc a and this puts questions on whether that is going to go through. he is antagonizing the very people he's trying to solidify the deal with. >> far from me to question donald trump's tactics but there's a lot to what you are saying. it is so important at this juncture we get this mexico
7:24 am
canada us agreement done. it will court to strengthen the president's position vis-à-vis china. let's get rid of the tariffs and then the next day say we will pose new tariffs so that does make it problematic. i do think at the end of the day there will not be these tariffs on mexico. the president is going to get a deal with mexico. heather: david: it is 10 days. >> in the past, he feels there is making progress but we want us canada mexico to be a big free-trade zone so we can have a powerful alliance against these places like china but if you look at the job the president has done on the economy it is so fantastic i don't think we want new tariffs with the southern
7:25 am
neighbor. david: for the longest time the president was warning about the crisis at the border. he has been warning about china, the threat from china and it seems a lot of people are on board. a piece in the wall street journal and the washington post, the threat from huawei and others. none of this comes without risk to consumers of the united states, risk to producers to deal with china. how bad will those risks heard our economy? >> they are because a lot of havoc in the stock market. i don't want to look at my 401(k) the last couple weeks. we have seen 1000 point decline on the dow. this is incredibly important -- everything donald trump is
7:26 am
asking of the mexicans, of the chinese, is reasonable. they should open up and reduce their tariffs and stop stealing our intellectual property, engage in cyber espionage against the united states. my problem with the mexico dispute is it is changing the focus from where it should be. we need to get every country, that is why we need free trade deals. with britain we need to get a deal with europeans, with japan so we can focus the attention on the real bad actor on the international scene which is china. we are in an abusive relationship with china. david: breaking news on the mexico front, the president of mexico said saturday he was encouraged by us willingness to have a dialogue or plan with donald trump. looks like we are making progress. you touched on the economy, 3.1% growth, less than expected. over 3% growth for the first quarter of this year and the cbo
7:27 am
announced an increase in revenue. there is so much economic growth it is leading to more tax revenue. for all the stuff in the tax plan. is this another example of how supply-side economics, lowering tax rates really works? >> you better believe it. this received more tax revenues than any time in american history. tell me how that means we have a revenue problem. we don't have a revenue problem. supply-side economics is working. we have in america 1 million more jobs than the number of
7:28 am
unemployed people in the country. even if we put every unemployed american on a job today we would have 1,000,0001/2 jobs left over. did you see the news that came out yesterday? my buddy and mentor art laugher will win the president a medal of freedom and does he deserve it. not just the reagan tax cuts which boomed our economy by the trump tax cut. david: that is on june 19th. >> i will be in the oval office when the president gives him that award. "imus in the morning" great to see you. from the battle at the border to the mess over mueller. morehouse democrats ramping up calls for impeachment but is there any evidence to justify that? house judiciary tom mcclintock tells us about that next. geico makes it easy to get help when you need it.

roooaaaar! it's a walrus! ridiculous! yes! nice save, big guy! good job duncan! way to go! [chanting] it's not just easy. it's geico easy. oh, duncan. stay up. no sleepies. david: house democrats and one republican wrapping up impeachment calls after hearing from robert mueller this week. house judiciary committee member tom mcclintock joining us. what did you think of mister mueller's statement? >> it was an attorney his tactics are petty, underhanded and disreputable, someone who quibbles over trivial matters. that describes mueller's statement to a t. we gave him and his team $25
7:33 am
million, 22 months to investigate this monstrous lie that the president was a traitor and an agent of a hostile foreign government. after all that time, one of the most partisan investigative teams ever assembled with some of the most abusive prosecutorial tactics i have ever seen came up with nothing. now that that has been laid bare they have to come up with a new and that is obstruction. when there was no underlying crime, the president gave them every document requested. over 1 million documents turned over and even waived attorney-client privilege and executive privilege to allow don began to testify for 30 hours. david: a lot of democrats have
7:34 am
been pouring over the report looking for evidence he was guilty of something but republicans are doing the same. devon nunez, used to be head of the judiciary position the jerry nadler now has. >> actually oversight. david: you are right. devon nunez found one of the references made in the mueller report to a conversation between the president's lawyer and the lawyer from michael flynn was totally misrepresented in the report. it didn't give the full context and made it seem they were conspiring to prevent information from getting out. the way this report was put together reflected the bias of people working for mister mueller. >> is this initial team included stzrok, page, the very people -- david: when the messages between heather nauert he and lisa page were discovered he was immediately taken off the committee. >> only after they were discovered.
7:35 am
all these partisans, hyper partisans were deliberately selected for this investigative team. every member of that team who made political contributions contributed to clinton and the democrats. andrew wiseman was head of the team, was actually at the clinton victory celebration in 2016 which turned sour at the end and even so with that amount of bias, threatening people's relevance, sitting perjury traps. after all that they could not make a case for collusion and the only case they could suggest for obstruction is based on the president blowing off steam behind closed doors that amounted to absolutely nothing. david: a larger question is mister mueller's description of the way the system of justice works.
7:36 am
let me play a little soundbite from his statement this weekend get your reaction. >> if we had confidence the president did not commit a crime we would have said so. we did not make a determination as to whether the president did commit a crime. heather: some say that turns the standard of jurisprudence on its head. we are guilty until proven innocent. >> a prosecutor's job is not to exonerate people. a prosecutor after job is to assemble a case. that is what he was specifically instructed to do. if there's a case for collusion or obstruction you make a prosecutorial recommendation. he didn't do that because he couldn't do that. there is no case. now dropping little innuendos, saying by the way don't question me.
7:37 am
the process doesn't work that way. he is accountable for this investigation. the fact that he showed no interest in the genesis of this hoax, the fact that officials at the highest level of the justice department, the fbi, intelligence agents, agencies, were colluding to develop and foist this hoax on the american people, there were two government interfering in the 2016 election. there was the russian government, there was also the obama administration. heather: we are going to get information, maybe mister mueller didn't do enough diligence on that side of the story but we have an ig report coming up. mister bar is coming out with his own report. i want to ask about your committee which is headed by jerry nadler. jerry nadler spoke after robert mueller spoke, a written statement he didn't seem familiar with. he flubbed what he was reading but seems he was asked a
7:38 am
specific question about whether he would subpoena mister mueller to come before the committee and he didn't -- seemed afraid to answer. he went back to his written statement. i'm wondering if he's afraid people like you will ask mister mueller questions that mister mueller can't answer well. >> i want mueller to testify before congress. is accountable for the conduct of this investigation. i would like to know why he ignored the genesis of this hoax. i would like to know why he appointed a highly partisan team of investigators and how long it took for them to realize there was no case for collusion and why that wasn't made immediately known to the american people. this hoax not only did the user
7:39 am
to try to interfere with the 2016 presidential election, when they failed to do that they have used it for the past two years to undermine the constitutionally elected president of the united states. that is big stuff and the fact that he was charged with investigating that in didn't he has a lot of questions to answer. david: if jerry nadler is listening to you you want him to subpoena mister mueller. >> very much and it is his responsibility to do so and something he has been promising to do so let's do it. emily: thank you for coming in on the weekend. all this talk of impeachment bring trump down in 2020 or perhaps boost him up? we will debate that coming next. . you definitely want to take advantage of all the benefits you can get. 2/3 of employees said that the workplace is an important source for personal savings and protection solutions. the workplace should be a source of financial security. keeping your people happy is what keeps your people. that's financial wellness.

expedia. since my dvt blood clot i was thinking... could there be another around the corner? or could it turn out differently? i wanted to help protect myself. my doctor recommended eliquis. eliquis is proven to treat and help prevent another dvt or pe blood clot... almost 98 percent of patients on eliquis didn't experience another. ...and eliquis has significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. eliquis is fda approved
7:42 am
and has both. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. what's around the corner could be surprising. ask your doctor about eliquis. david: will impeachment calls help or hurt donald trump in 2020? joe borelli joins us, rochelle ritchie and fox news contributor cat kim.
7:43 am
where do democrats go from here on the impeachment question? >> they are running a huge risk when they talk about impeachment. if you look at polls we tend to try to stay away from them but 61% of americans do not want to go down the road of impeachment even though they don't approve of the job the president is doing. of democrats go down this road they are going to turn off a lot of democrats and turn off those that voted for trump in 2020, voted for obama in 2008. david: they will take up a lot of democrats. >> this is why nancy pelosi is things don't go down this road. in 2018, 31 districts for democrats, those were in district that trump won. in 2020, turning the house red, you have a red house, red senate and possibly executive office with donald trump if he wins again. there's a lot at risk if they go down this impeachment road.
7:44 am
david: i sense from the president, my own opinion, but he is baiting democrats to go on the impeachment router. >> he knows the pendulum is ready to swing the other way. even -- david: a lot of and take the bait. >> someone like jerry nadler chomping at the bit to push this along but even if you look when they won seat in 2018 x polls show this wasn't an issue that drove voters to vote for democrats. look who is winning in 2020 polls, biden and bernie and both have been moderate in their approach. david: could we have a situation like 2016 where the left-wing is ticked off where they are being treated, we are getting reports some people working for bernie sanders and bernie sanders himself, here we go again. i am going to get stiffed on this race against the
7:45 am
establishment guy. >> those concerns are well-founded because we know what happened in 2016 when debbie wasserman schultz had to resign because she was so involved in helping to rig the election for hillary clinton. if they are upset they have every right to be upset but at the same time i see how very left candidates can influence the more moderate candidates and encourage them to be a little more progressive. we saw that in 2016 with hillary clinton and bernie's influence on her but i don't see them being the candidates -- david: hillary was more right for the progressive side than joe biden is but do you worry about the left-wing part of the party that wants impeachment, wants to be more progressive.
7:46 am
12% bernie sanders supporters actually ended up -- >> what we don't want is if bernie does not get the nomination we don't want to see what happened with hillary clinton where bernie sanders supporters were so upset they didn't support the dnc candidate. i want to go back to this impeachment really quick. if we are concerned about protecting our democracy and our election why are we not putting forth legislation that does that. the president colluded or obstructed justice, why are we not focusing on putting legislation on the books so this does not happen again? >> what they
7:47 am
correct me if i am wrong, i believe he has come out for impeachment. >> he has. david: all these democrat candidates who are for impeachment and the green new deal, how do they back away from that if it is not popular on the campaign trail? >> flatulent cows and things, impeachment might -- >> that is an important issue to me. >> impeachment lot take democrats the promised land. watch some democrats read the mueller statement like they are reading the old testament trying to find hidden meanings in every word. david: getting beyond impeachment if you look at what mayor pete has been for and kamala harris, pretty far to the left, are they going to temper that in the campaign trail? >> i don't think so.
7:48 am
progressives are getting more progressive. in 2016 it was just bernie who stood out. now many candidates are very progressive. they are going to stick to their guns on this issue and push whoever pushes the nomination to be more moderate they will push that person further left like what happened with hillary clinton. there's that progressive wing. they might not be in leadership. david: we thought we had a spectacle in 2016. now the democrats topped out to doesn't candidates. what is going to happen in these debates? will they be about substantive issues whether you are in favor of the green new deal or will they be focused on donald trump and how bad he is? >> they will focus on the issues. i'm tired of talking about the russian investigation. we need to protect our election and our democracy and i would like to hear how we are going to do that in more than -- less
7:49 am
about the attack on trump. they need to focus on the issues. plenty of americans are concerned about healthcare and jobs and immigration and need to focus on issues and beat him on policy. that is where biden would compete well. he could go toe to toe with him on policy because he came out of the recession, the immigration issue. david: he didn't come out that well. this was the worst recovery of a recession in my lifetime and the economy is growing a lot stronger now than it was in the obama -- >> pennsylvania would be joe biden best swing state but i have a hard time imagining joe biden convincing people the obama administration was better than the trump administration, like convincing people -- >> it is not about it being better. he can compete with him on how to come out of a recession.
7:50 am
david: the recovery summer in 2010, he said there would be 500,000 jobs every month, turned out over the next 3 months, less then 200,000. he has a track record a little off. >> that is a tough thing for the democrats. at the same time when you look how well the economy is doing the president's numbers should be higher than they are on overall approval. that something to look at. david: major flooding leading hundreds in shelters, thousands of others dealing with the damage. what officials asking for a mid the devastation? more on that to come. but allstate actually helps you drive safely... with drivewise. it lets you know when you go too fast... ...and brake too hard. 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...

7:54 am
the emergency manager joins us, tell us about that levy and what is the situation. are flood waters still rising? >> we currently have floodwaters rising. it has a population of 4500 and we can see 350 affected by rising floodwaters. david: does that mean homes destroyed, 350, or underwater? >> know. we are not talking underwater. we are talking affected. most are high enough that we won't have water going over the homes. we will have water going into the homes. affecting -- mostly homes will not be affected, they are repair about. david: do you have enough funds in state to manage this or do you need help from the feds? >> we do need the federal government's help.

donald trump made a presidential declaration, fema 304:14 pm allowing us to have access and this allows us to do emergency work. this allows us to spend money and get reimbursed. david: what about the businesses, the farming areas with all these tariffs we have been talking about, people are worried about american farms like never before. >> our farms are suffering. we have had heavy rains throughout the year. a lot of the crops haven't been planted, if you were planted and they are going to be lost. that area where the levy was breached all farmland. david: is the federal help you are receiving going to help in that regard? >> it should help. hopefully we can get disaster

>> president trump reacting to the deadly shooting in virginia beach. the president tweeting out, quote, spoke to virginia governor ralph northam last night and the mayor and vice-mayor of virginia beach to offer condolences to the community. the federal government will be there for whatever they may need. god bless all the families and all. this has governor in virginia ordered flags to be flown at half staff at the state capitol and federal buildings and grounds to honor victims of the attack. reporter ray bogan is in virginia beach with the latest, ray. >> good morning, the city manager identified the 12 victims at a press conference earlier. 11 of them were city employees who worked there anywhere from 11 months to more than 40 years. there was michelle langer who spent 12 years as an administrative assistant joshua
8:01 am
hardy, 24 years as an engineering technician and the city manager says he's worked with almost all of them and everyone is grieving. >> you will learn what they meant to all of us, to their families, to their friends, and to their co-workers. they leave a void that we will never be able to fill. >> the shooter was identified as dewayne craddock, an engineer with the city for 15 years. he had a security pass and access to the building. business engaged the shooter. one of them was injured, but saved by his bullet-proof vest. the police chief says they've reviewed footage of officers rushing inside, checking every office, desk and closet. he said officers escorted employees out of the buildings and he also said if it wasn't for the police engaging the shooter, this could have been much worse. >> i want you to know those
8:02 am
officers worked with compassion, they worked with caring, they worked with professionalism, and assisting our brothers and sisters who worked for our city. >> now, let me give you a lay of the land here, this is the virginia beach municipal center. it's a complex of about 30 buildings. the shooting took place in building two, just behind me. you can still see the state troopers and caution tape blocking off the area. the police chief says the building is open to the public on a normal day where residents can go inside and pay their water bills. he also said on any given day, 400 employees could be working inside. the next press conference is scheduled. david: ray bogan, these are live shots, yes, of a vigil being held in the rain in virginia beach. a community of about 400,000
8:03 am
people, not a small community, but small enough so that a lot of people knew, not only the folks who were directly affected by indirectly affected by this. we want to talk about the possible cause and motive for all of this with pat brosnon, a former new york city police detective. pat, good to talk to you again. we just heard from our reporter on the ground there that the killer apparently had security clearance that got him around wherever he wanted to go. does this indicate maybe a change in the way we all deal with security clearances? >> you know, again, it's reading tea leaves this early in the investigation and good morning. it's not enough known of a factual matter as relates to what motivated this guy who do what he did. apparently he didn't share his intentions in any way that's known, so, you know, we're premature to speculate, but as always, there will be significant changes, right, once
8:04 am
the horse gets out of the gate, but it's very, very difficult to identify this behavior unless it's shared some material way with personal or written form. so, again, a nightmare. our hats off and a big salute to the brave first responders. i think this would have been exponentially worse. they did a spectacular job, spectacular job. david: apparently the shootout went on for quite some time. one officer was shot, but thankfully his bullet-proof vest prevented him from being harmed deeply. what does the community do now, pat? with whom do they unite in order to figure out not only what happened, but how to prevent something like this from happening again? >> well, they'll certainly be you know, consulting with professionals, security professionals in terms of identifying ways that they can mitigate and manage this risk going forward. my guess, as we're in that business and have been for 25 years privately and to do precisely that, is that you'll
8:05 am
be looking at an alignment of people, which is labor, the physical security, armed security, process data as well as technology, cutting technology. it's the fusion of those four elements that will mitigate the risks. it's no one single solution. david: more short-term. i'm wondering the crime itself. are we going to have the fbi come in and take over, department of homeland security? who is going to be heading up the investigation? >> it's difficult to say. it's difficult to say because we don't know enough at this time, was he a sole actor, did he cross state lines? was there another crime not known as identified? right now i imagine the lead of the municipal authority will be the lead investigator, but that's a fluid assignment as relates to the fact because not enough is known at this juncture. david: we're always concerned about terrorism. this apparently was a disgruntled employee, not an act of international terrorism so to
8:06 am
speak, but again, it puts in the mind a fear of all of us that copycats are out there that have more-- that are more than just a disgruntled worker that may have something a bit stronger in mind with regard to international terrorism. >> i absolutely agree, and i would posit that this is an act of domestic terrorism, nothing short of it, a horrifying act of domestic terrorism because the goal in killing 12 people and shooting uniformed police officer is to terrorize, the operative word is terrorize and it's terrorization. the fact that this occurred and these serial murders occurred and that's what they are, are just independent in my view domestic act of terrorism and again, thank god the police were there and performed. david: absolutely, so they did so courageously. pat brosnon, thank you very much. meanwhile, president trump is

>> mexico's president this morning saying he's encouraged that the u.s. is willing to talk about tariffs that might be coming down the line. he's talking about a summit in washington next week on wednesday over president trump's threats to hit mexico with tariffs if it doesn't help stop the flow of illegal immigrants. they say that tariffs could back fire on the president and u.s. tom, how could this cost you if the terrorists kick in? >> clearly, the consumers are the ones that are going to suffer. this price has to be passed
8:11 am
along. 20% of all parts in manufactured cars come from mexico. and the more staggering number is that 70% of the wiring harnesses, a wiring harness is the first thing that's put into a vehicle on the assembly line. you'll shut down the assembly line. i mean, you're talking about thousands of people that are going to be out of work. david: the other thing is that as they cross the border, sometimes these parts cross several times. >> several times. david: the parts go from the u.s. to mexico, then go from mexico to u.s. and then go back again to mexico, so, a 25% tariff could become a 50% tariff or a 75% tariff. >> that's correct. i own automobile dealerships and i'm in the business and i'm seeing the consumer suffer. they're coming in and complaining about the price of a car, the cost of their payments of the car have risen. interest rates have risen. this on top of it. ford, chrysler, general motors have already stated that it's cost them a billion dollars a year for the tariffs that are put in place now we're going to put this on top of it. i think you're talking about a lehman type, we're going back to
8:12 am
lehman type numbers, car sales are going to plummet. david: you were for the president in 2016. you know how bad things are at the border right now. >> yes. david: they're really in crisis stage and we have been talking about that all day. this was one of the president's signature platforms that he was elected on. what did you expect? since mexico hasn't gotten tough the way we need them to get tough to stop the flow, what else could we do besides tariffs? >> i think he's doing the right thing. we have to deal with the border issue. the border issue is a major issue, we have to deal with it. this, you know, it's a threat, right? and i think that the president of mexico has come to the table already and encouraged, i saw some news this morning. there was some news alerts out there. i think it will get resolved. i think he could probably implement one tariff, 5%. 25%, i think plummets the industry. not only are we talking about the cars that are built overseas and japan and china, we're
8:13 am
talking about u.s. auto manufacturers. this is the backbone of our country. david: if the higher tariffs do kick in and if they last for a while, would you withdraw your support from the president? >> not at all. i'm a clear trump supporter, he's a friend and i've supported him all along and i will continue to support him. i think he's doing the right thing. david: even if it hurts your own business? >> yeah, i think so. in the long run, you have to sacrifice something. he's out to help the country. he's making the right decisions. it's, you know, our security is first and foremost and business is second. and you know, listen, it's going to-- the business is going to come back and people will come back and buy cars. the interesting part of it in my business, in the retail automotive business, you're selling cars or fixing cars, right? if people aren't buying cars, they're fixing them more. the dilemma, can we get the parts because the assembly lines are shut down and what are the cost of the parts. david: i've got to say it's pretty impressive you would be willing to take a hit and continue to support the president. >> yeah, well, listen, national
8:14 am
security is number one, i think he's right on the money. i think, you know, listen. i have two children. my goal is to protect my children and i thinks' right on the money what he's doing. david: tom, great for seeing you. good luck, good luck. we'll see how-- hope tariffs don't have to come into play. 2020 democrats having trouble giving credit to trump's tax cuts for the good of the economy. could that spell trouble for them in the election? whoooo. did you know the exact same hotel room... ...can have many different prices? that's why tripadvisor searches over 200 booking sites to find the lowest price on the hotel you want. your perfect hotel room for the perfect price!

8:18 am
david: almost everybody got the tax cut, right? and now we're dealing with record low unemployment in all groups. >> a lot of people benefitted, but if you look at the tax cuts, who benefitted the most? it's the top, top, top of the 1%. david: 2020 democrats refusing to give nos trump tax cuts any credit for the good of the economy, so is this going to be an issue for them going forward? fox business network's jackie deangelus, c.p.a. dan geltrud and aaron gibbs thank you for being here. tulsi and other democrats are saying that it didn't help the economy or just the top, top of the economy. you have job growth which is extraordinary. more jobs than job seekers, the first time in my lifetime, the 19th month we've had that. you have wage growth still going on. if not tax cuts, what? >> i think it's a bit of an exaggeration. so, definitely the tax cuts helped the wealthy, but the administration thinks that that will spur economic growth because that money will cycle
8:19 am
back into the economy. david: hasn't it? >> it has a little bit. but there are other things helping out as you mention as well. we saw manufacturing growth, 11% of gdp. that's actually down from 16% two decades ago, but it's strong from where it was and what we're seeing is that that's contributing to our gdp numbers going forward first quarter, 3.1%. so we hope to continue and see that move forward. what the problem is right now, the corporate tax cuts, a lot of those companies used that money for buy backs, rather than putting it back into the economy. the reason is they're a little worried to recycle it into the economy and make the cap x plans because of the uncertainty. the problems with china, the problems with mexico right now. david: but, dan, one of the things i know, i've talked to larry kudlow about this, one of the president's advisors, he's very proud of is that the blue collar workers have benefitted tremendously from the policies, not only the tax policies, but of course, deregulation. manufacturing jobs, we've had an increase of 500,000 new
8:20 am
manufacturing jobs and a lot of these, the previous administration, president obama in particular, said would never come back. he said you've got to get used to these jobs going away forever. well, in fact, they've come back to the tune of a half million. that's progress for blue collar workers. >> there's no question about it. i think that president obama was clearly wrong about manufacturing jobs never coming back again to the united states, because clearly they have, but going back to the tax cuts, i don't believe that the wealthy were only the beneficiaries. i think that most americans did benefit, but the tax code has a way of picking winners and losers. and the winners were those who are in low tax states and the losers were those who were in high tax states. i've seen many wealthy taxpayers, particularly in my practice, where they're concentrated in the new york metropolitan area, have gotten clobbered by the lack of tax cuts for them, but when you have
8:21 am
middle class and people who are on the lower end of the earnings spectrum, they have absolutely benefitted from the tax cuts and i believe the economy is clearly showing that, because-- >> you're nodding yes. >> i think it's how you define wealthy. certainly, you know, the top, let's say 1/10 of 1% may have benefitted, but when you expand, let's say wealthy to the top 5%, 10% and start including those people from the higher tax states, you're starting to see the states that have the people leaving the most are these higher tax states. so new york, new jersey, connecticut is last year had some of the highest rates of people moving out of those states. so, clearly, there are wealthy individuals who are moving because the taxes are so onerous. david: and jackie, you know, a lot of people even -- i live right in manhattan so i get clobbered not only by the state, but the city. >> you and me both, my friend.
8:22 am
david: but i must say i made a little more because of the tax changes because you had an end of the some of the onerous tax codes that they got rid of, but the bottom line is, we had a loss of 350 points on friday, and a lot of that came because of what is happening on tariffs, could that eliminate the progress that has been made with the tax cuts? >> you read my mind. so the first thing is, most people that i've spoken to have said in their paycheck they have felt more money sticking to their bones and depends on what they're making. that's a trend the last year and it will continue. the second point you made about the market drop you saw, it was the worst may that we've seen since 2010. david: it wasn't just the day, it was the whole month. >> people are scared. when you listen to what the previous guests are saying regarding autos, for example, it's not just when we hit tariffs that have to do with china and mexico, if those are passed onto the consumer, that will feel like a tax and eat into some of the savings.
8:23 am
david: although surprisingly, he said he'd still be in favor of donald trump because of the effects of the tax cuts and the regulatory cuts. >> well, tom, it's clearly a loyal trump supporter that he's willing to sacrifice his business sales for supporting the president, but listen, i heard charles payne say something very interesting regarding these tariffs. david: he only says interesting things. >> yes, he does. he said something interesting, he said ultimately, obviously, tariffs are a tax, but what's going to happen is that people will not accept that tax in the form of tariffs being passed through. they are going to change their buying patterns, right. david: that's all a great point. what happens, david, what happens is countries like china and mexico, if they want to sell into the united states, they're going to have to adjust their pricing. now, will that happen? it's a very interesting point of view. david: well, we have some stats to back that up and we might be able to show them.
8:24 am
the tariffs are cutting imports from china. china imports are down 15%, but vietnam imports up 40%. taiwan imports, up 21%. south korea up 18%, india up 15%. the supply chains are moving away from china to other countries in asia and elsewhere that can provide the products and corporations are going to move their supply chains as request i cannily as possible. the interesting thing of the proposed mexican tariffs, it's harder to switch the supply chain. for gm, they have manufacturing plants and ford has one third of its vehicle produced in mexico. it's not that easy to build a whole new car manufacturing all the suppliers, so, they are single-- second biggest trading partner and we may be able to source avocados from somewhere else, but not necessarily build a new car plant. i think you'll see that in the
8:25 am
markets and wall street is concerned because it's not that easy to switch suppliers. david: even steve moore, a big supporter for the president and worked for the president is worried about the mexico tariffs, but china has to be dealt with. and several senators calling for impeachment, but senator kennedy says stop playing politics with the presidency. you want to hear senator kennedy. he's next. t's be honest. it's kind of unfair that safe drivers have to pay as much for insurance... as not safe drivers! ah! that was a stunt driver. that's why esurance has this drivesense® app. the safer you drive, the more you save. don't worry, i'm not using my phone and talking to a camera while driving... i'm being towed. by the way, i'm actually a safe driver. i'm just pretending to be a not safe driver. cool. bye dennis quaid! when insurance is affordable, it's surprisingly painless.

8:29 am
>> more democrats calling to impeach president trump. there's one. there's beto o'rourke, running for president. speaking at the service workers union, service workers international union in san francisco. he's just one of several democrat candidates who have been calling for the president's impeachment, particularly after mr. mueller made his parting statement, nine minutes of which captivated the nation this week. that was early in the week and there have been a lot of fallout on what mr. mueller said. fox neuews correspondent gilli turner has news inside the beltway. >> it was a captivating press conference there. to capitol hill democrats and one republican are ramping up their efforts to get mueller to testify and begin impeachment proceedings against president trump. the democratic caucus saying despite mueller's announcement that he's closing up shop.
8:30 am
they say it's more important than ever that they hear from him directly. the speaker of the house has remained cool on the "i" word, but there are questions unresolved and unanswered. >> why this president is not above the law, while this president must be held accountable, the only person who knows better than i do, is the president of the united states. he knows. he knows what his violations have been. >> 2020 contenders by comparison taking a no holds barred approach. elizabeth warren even calling for legislative solutions to what she sees as the trump problem, saying, i pledge to nominate an office of legal counsel head who will reverse the watergate era rule that a president cannot be indicted for criminal behavior. and to govern the conduct of the executive branch, not act as the president's get out of jail free
8:31 am
card. but that pelosi's efforts leave a lot to be desired. >> i don't think that speaker pelosi has control over it all the time-- >> the idea that they would impeach the president over something that didn't happen is ludicrous and it's truly a disservice to the country. >> over the past couple of weeks, pelosi has gone from impeachment is basically off the table to saying if her caucus proceeds with impeachment, their case would need to be iron clad. indeed it would, david. david: there's yet another presidential democratic contenter kamala harris speaking in san francisco as well. the hits keep coming from the democrats at least those running for president. not so much the current leadership. my next guest says all the impeachment talk is about politics, not justice. he sits on the judiciary
8:32 am
committee and we called all the democrats on the senate judiciary committee and we didn't hear back from any of them and probably doesn't surprise senator kennedy. senator kennedy, some people are questioning the justice of going for impeachment, but i would also question the politics of it. most americans don't want impeachment by a pretty convincing majority. there aren't 67 senate votes to convict if there is impeachment, but will the democrats still go for impeachment? >> david, i don't know and i don't want to paint with too broad a brush here. but i think there are many members of the house leadership that are in bad faith. it's not about justice. it's about politics. i mean, they've determined to make demonizing trump their life's mission. the election was two and a half years ago and they're still holding-- or throwing a tantrum. my response to them is, i said
8:33 am
it last week, do your business or get off the pot. you know? you want to impeach, have at it, man, let's go. now, it polls right up there with skimmed milk, but if you still want to go forward, do it, but either do it or stop whining so we can get back to work, for gosh sakes. there are things we can work on where we have more in common than we don't. things like health care, health insurance and prescription drugs and infrastructure and net neutrality. david: senator, you have to work, your committee, the judiciary committee has on it kamala harris. kamala harris right now politicking in san francisco, i think we can show a live shot, speaking in front of a big international union. she's in favor of impeachment. she, it seems, would rather talk about impeachment than talk about getting stuff done, as you say. >> well, you know, they're doing
8:34 am
their best to justify. for example, chairman of the ways and means and the house said i need trump's tax returns, and the press of course said why, he said, well, it will help me understand how well the irs is doing its audits. now, you know, how dumb does he think the american people are? i mean, nobody believes-- if you believe that, do you think jimmy hoffa died of natural causes. i mean, nobody believes that. so they're not even camouflaging it and i think most americans see it and i hate to waste a year and a half, guys. i'd hate to waste a year and a half with this kind of stuff. david: it seems like jerry nadler at least on the house side, the senate is waiting back and seeing what the house does, but the house side seems like a lot of them want to go ahead with it although jerry nadler was a little hesitant about answering specific questions, but you do have some questions raised.
8:35 am
mueller came out this week and said something-- some things that are direct contradictions to what the attorney general said. that kind of posed some questions how we perceive from there. let me just play for you a little bit of what ag barr shade said that mueller seemed to contradict. >> special counsel mueller stated to us three times in that meeting in response to our questioning, he emphatically was not saying that but for the olc opinion he would have found obstruction. he said that in the future, the facts of the case against the president might be such that a special counsel would recommend abandoning the olc opinion, but this is not such a case. david: now, senator, i realize it's a little like arguing about how many angels can fit on the head of a pin and most americans eyes glaze over when you're getting into some of this stuff. but there are these
8:36 am
contradictions. while you were want to work on important things like opioid crisis and deal with specifics that americans care about. it seems that jerry nadler are focused about arguing about an angel on a pin. >> i listened carefully to mr. mueller's press conference last week. here is primarily what i heard him say. i'm done, no mas, i quit. i'm not going to testify. i don't want to testify. if you want to understand my testimony, read the report. okay. let's go to the report. first section, he says there's no collusion, so there's no indictment. second second, obstruction of justice, he's saying i'm not saying he did it, i'm not saying he didn't do it, but i'm not bringing an indictment. now, i heard bill barr testify underoath in front of the judiciary committee that mr. mueller told him in a roomful of people three times, not once, not twice, but three times that i, meaning
8:37 am
mr. mueller, am not saying that but for the justice department that you can't-- justice department policy that you can't indict a president i would have brought an indictment. i never heard bob mueller say but for the justice department policy i would have brought an indictment. if you have a hammer everything looks like a nail. the democrats can slice and dice this and try to spin it. they want to get mueller in front of a committee. he's not going to do it. i mean, it's over. and i just think, some of it, i'm sure is in good faith, but some is in pure politics and i'd like to see us in the next year and a half spend a little time thinking about the next generation as opposed to the next election. david: one of the things that puts the next generation at risk, of course, is the opioid crisis. what's the latest on that?
8:38 am
and let's ends up talking about something substantive. what is the latest on our attempts to battle this crisis that is putting the next generation at risk? >> well, it's going to have to be on hands on deck. the federal government's got to do a better job. the dea and f.d.a. dick durbin, a democrat and my friends, we passed a bill together to try to get the dea and the f.d.a. to their job setting quotas. the pharmaceutical companies have to do a better job. there was an episode over a ten month period pharmaceutical drug companies sold three, i think it was three million opioid bills to a town in west virginia. you know how many members of the population it is? it's 400 people -- 4,000 people, i think. i mean, let's stop -- our doctors have to do a better job
8:39 am
and frankly, our people need to do a better josh. i don't want to deny opioids to people in pain and we shouldn't, but doctors and patients got to understand you've got to use this stuff very, very carefully. david: well, with-- >> you use it too much for too long you're going to get addicted. david: with people like kamala harris and others running for president focusing on impeachment, i hope there is room somewhere in there to get the substantive stuff done because our nation needs it. >> well, they're upset -- they're upset that the american people, many of them are, elected donald trump, and you know, if i act like i don't care, it's not an act. it's know the their call. it's the american people's call. you can vote against him in a year and a half, in the meantime, let him do his job. david: senator john kennedy. great to talk to you, senator. thank you very much for being here, appreciate it. >> thanks, dave. david: secretary of state mike pompeo says that iran is responsible for the recent
8:40 am
attacks on oil tankers and he can prove it. and mcginnis says that proof is all we need to get the options on the table and he's next with us. uh, i'll look into it. (phone rings) lisa jones! lisa: (on phone) hey carl, what are you charging me for online equity trades?

indians and the chinese are doing, buying that oil. we want to put the pressure. the president is doing, i think, a pretty good job of putting the thumb on the moves in tehran. david: but the question is, you know, wounded animals sometimes can be very dangerous and the mullahs -- the ironies, i can't p emphasize this enough. not only was iran an ally of the united states, but some of the best business leaders are hunkered down and still there and yet the people in charge are fanatics. we saw how fanatical during the war with iraq when literally hundreds of thousands of iranians were sent to their deaths by the fanatics. how far will they push this? >> we've had 40 years of malign activity by tehran and the mullahs. took over in 1979 and killing

soldiers in 1983. and soldiers were killed in iraq because of the shia militia. they sponsor hezbollah, sponsor houthis, that are bombing riyadh. and i have know he doubt what secretary pompeo said and john bolton as well, those four tankers off the eae were subject to mines placed by iranians, as were the drones that attacked the pipeline, as was the rocket that went into the green zone near our embassy. so these activities, as general dunford said the other day, are a campaign that they've launched to get us into a corner. well, obviously, we're not taking that and we're pushing back. david: right, right. and yet, despite that campaign, you gave the litany of all the actions that they've taken that have been detrimental and deadly to u.s. citizens. there are now these reports and they're just reports, they

haven't been verified yet, but former obama officials have been talking to the iranians. so -- talking to the enemy, is it not, if it's true? >> yes, it would be a violation of the logan act, 1799. clearly, we've known that john kerry, former secretary of state, has been talking at one point or another. what is disconcerting here is that the new york times reports at least three former officials of the obama administration have been engaged with the iranians, and then they come back and they tell congressional democrats what the word is. you know, in is obviously you know, a violation of the law because it's the executive that's supposed to be making the foreign policy. now, of course, we have people that are over today in switzerland, as is mike pompeo, going to the builderberger meeting talking to people and i

dealing with the dangerous rising waters. fox news correspondent casey stegall is live in conway, arkansas with the latest, hi, casey. >> david, good to see you. typically on a saturday the beginning of summer, a park like this would be packed with boaters and campers and people having picnics. but now you can see the historic flooding has put this park completely underwater and the arkansas river has spilled out of its banks big time. you can see the river is supposed to be behind that ferry lock and dam building. however, more than half of it is now submerged almost to the top of those garage doors. what you cannot see is the lock and dam itself. which is very critical all up and down the river, and that is back in that direction, it's totally submerged, totally underwater, meaning barge traffic carrying goods cannot make its way through.

now, off to the distance on the other side of the river, you have homes that are flooded out, but they're only reachable by boat. folks were evacuated days ago as the flood waters kept rising. all of the water is making its way downstream from points north of here, and these aerial pictures show the scale of how widespread the problem is. record water levels have put extra pressure on the levee systems, the dams, causing a levee breach north of here in dardanelle. also south of here in and around the little rock area. listen. >> it's just bad for everybody. the levees have broke and i've heard there's two more fixing to break. i mean, i don't have a fact on that yet, but you know, if it does, it's going to be really, really bad. >> so, so scary. the governor of arkansas says that about 500 homes have been impacted state wide by flood waters. a disaster declaration is in

>> speaker nancy pelosi weighing in on the deadly virginia beach shooting with a statement that said too many people and families have the unspeakable pain caused by gun violence, the house has passed common sense gun violence prevention legislation, the senate must bring these bills to a vote. joining me now is andrew pollock, a man who knows this pain too well. his daughter meadow was killed in the parkland shooting in 2018. personally, i think it's too early to be talking about the whole gun issue and i kind of want to avoid it and talk right
8:57 am
now with you about the pain that these families are going through right now. i mean, less than 24 hours after they lost their loved one, they must be in a state of disbelief, no? >> well, my heart goes out to these families in virginia. i know what they're going through because i've been in their shoes and there's nothing -- there's nothing that i could tell them that is going to ease their pain. i wish there were something that i could, but there's really nothing that just what society has dealt us and they're just going to have to deal and there's no easy fix and be affected for the rest of their life as i am. david: what happens after the disbelief and the reality of what happened? i know you went through a period of cynicism, i don't know how else to put it, blaming god and everything in the world for what went wrong with your life and the tragedy that happened to your daughter.
8:58 am
is that what is coming next. >> i want to look at facts of what happened and not just like nancy pelosi spewing the gun control. the same thing they did in parkland and gun control had nothing to do with my daughter getting murdered and it's the same thing they're doing right now is there's note one gun control bill that would have saved those people yesterday. okay? the only thing that it had in common yesterday with parkland and virginia is the gun-free zone. okay? these sick people know where to go. they go to a gun-free zone. when seconds matter, first responders, are minutes away. we need instant responders, we need to left the gun-free zones and give people a fair chance to defend themselves, okay? because these gun-free zones, if you look at all the mass shootings, that's where these sick people go that are cowards, to go and kill people unarmed. david: andrew, again, we only
