eric: right now, a big question over whether a mo a momentous face-to-face could take place tomorrow at the world's most dangerous border. we'll know if kim jong un accepted the invitation to meet at the dmv. welcome to america's news headquarters. i'm eric shawn. arthel: i'm arthel neville. the president is on the ground in seoul, south korea, which is a short trip to the dmz, as he continues his tour of asia after wrapping up the g-20 summit in japan. earlier in japan, the president held high stakes trade talks with chinese president xi-jinping. the two leaders agreed to another cease fire, another

cease fire in their economic showdown as they continue working toward a deal. and as the president hopes to make progress on that front, there are questions whether the offer to meet kim jong un could jumpstart another pivotal matter, the talks to denuclearize north korea. >> we're going to the dmz. while i'm there, i'll shake his hand. we get along. there's been no nuclear tests, there's been no long range ballistic tests, gave us back our hostages which was great and a lot of good things are happening over there. so i let him know we'll be there and we'll see. arthel: white house correspondent kevin cork is traveling with the president and he is live in seoul. what time is it there, kevin, do you know? >> reporter: it is 3:01 in the morning and, yes, i could use a little red bull. the world awaits. we're all wondering whether or not the president will in fact meet with the leader of north korea in the dmz.

we'll find out together here, not terribly long from now, in a you fefew hours. that's the big question here. that's overtaken the real news cycle as the president perhaps will be meeting with the leader of the kingdom of north korea. they've met twice. this would be a third meeting and second in four months, one of many headlines in south korea as the president comes here for talks with south korea's president and the expected trip to the dmz. for the president's trip here, well, that of course follows an eventful g-20 summit in osaka japan where the president was asked whether he would meet with chairman kim while here and he said this. >> might happen tomorrow. to be honest. we won't call it a summit. we'll call it a handshake if it does happen. i don't know that it will. it could happen. i think he would like to do it. i wound mind doing it at all. i'm literally visiting the dmz. >> if you do meet kim jong un at

the dmz tomorrow, would you step across the border into north korea. >> sure, i would. i would feel comfortable doing a that. >> reporter: comfortable doing that says the president president, speaking to our colleague, john roberts in he osaka. also at the summit, the president spent a great deal of time speaking with xi-jinping and noted that u.s. firms will be able to sell products to huawei. as for the ongoing trade talks, the president hailed the progress being made and interestingly, arthel, he was asked if he thought that china was a friend or foe. >> i think we're going to be strategic partners. i think we can help each other. i think in the end, if the right deal is structured, we can be great for each other. if china would open up, you're opening up a tremendous -- the largest market in the world and right now china's not open to the united states but we're open to china. that should have never really been allowed to happen. >> reporter: also in a nod to u.s. business, especially those

in california, the president said the government would allow manufacturers to keep selling vital products to huawei. i mention this because it's believed this will actually perhaps grease the skids just a bit and keep the talks going. u.s. officials saying that certainly could help. we have had a chance to see the schedule for tomorrow, arthel. and, yes, it's on the schedule, the president will in fact make his way over to the dmz. it's not on the schedule that he'll actually meet with the north korean leader. doesn't mean it won't happen. frankly, as i look at the clock and the skies are getting brighter here, we'll find out together not long from now. for now, back to you. arthel: we'll be waiting for that report, for sure. kevin cork, thank you. eric: for more on this and whether or not a potential meeting could help spur negotiations over north korea's nuclear program, dean chang joins us. dean, what could a third handshake really accomplish or is it just another action for show? >> well, i think that one of the

key take-aways from had hanoi where president trump walked out of the meeting is that if there isn't some substance, he's not going to just basically agree to something in order to score points or burnish his image. eric: what substance could there be, if he says he's going to go to the dmz and shake kim jong un's hand. >> the real question is going to be whether the north koreans will make any kind of meaningful commitment towards denuclearization. frankly, i'm not optimistic about that. but it is -- if kim jong un actually shows up, it does mean that he presumably is going to put something on the table because i think it was pretty embarrassing for him for trump to just walk out, because the north koreans put nothing on the table. eric: what do you think that something could be? >> he might be willing to offer up one or two nuclear warheads, that has always been one of the possibilities. he might be willing to put

something other than -- on the table in terms of shutting down parts of the north korean nuclear infrastructure. on the flip side, he's certainly going to demand once again that we, the u.s., end some of our sanctions regime on the north koreans. this is going to be a really tough call. it could just be a photo opportunity. eric: previous presidents have visited after the presidency, president carter and president clinton. what to you is the significance if the current president of the united states steps over that border, steps foot in north korea, a nation in which we gave treasure and blood during the korean conflict and a nation which we are still technically at a war? >> president trump has broken precedent simply by meeting kim jong un which no sitting u.s. president had done. so stepping across the border would be consistent with the meeting between kim and president moon of south korea where, again, kim took moon by the hand and took him over the

border one or two steps into the dmz. eric: the difference between the south korean president doing that and the american president, there's a difference. >> of course. it would make it very clear that the u.s. and south korea are both basically making in-roads into trying to normalize relations. eric: at the same time, the talks with steven, they've basically been frozen. it's a stalemate. north korea has not declared anything, not let international inspectors in, not dismantled anything of significance and has not taken one step to try and move toward denuclearization. >> no, that's exactly right. this is the problem. so you have a lot of public image, you have a lot of smiling faces, a lot of handshakes, a lot of summit meetings, great photo opportunities but the substance of denuclearization hasn't moved. what is kim getting out of this? he's getting nice photo opportunities, a chance to be photographed with the president of the united states, most

important person out there, but at the end of the day north korea's economy continues to limp along in the face of american sanctions. eric: limping along with a lot of the sanctions we're told being broken by north korea, we seized one of their ships and there are now proposals on capitol hip t hill to get tough. the president is saying he may go to the dmz to shake kim jong un's hand. bipartisan memberbipartisan memo slap more sanctions on north korea. there's otto warmbier act, who was so savagely beaten and basically killed by kim jong un's thugs and the otto warmbier brink act is a banking act sponsored by pat toomey and chris van holland, an effort to clamp down on banks who do financial business with north korea, to hit kim jong un in the

l wallet. here's what senator toomey told me recently. >> we're going to make those chinese banks died, do yo decidu want access to the u.s. dollar globally or do you want to do business with north korea. i'm want them to have to choose. i'm pretty sure i know what choice they'll make. that is designed to increase economic pressure on kim. eric: the goal is for the banks and financial institutions to either do business with kim or with the united states, not both. >> that's right. that's right. eric: finally is an outreach more important or actually clamping down on something that kim jong un would really feel? >> i think the clampdown has to occur if we're going to make that impression on kim. but there's nothing that keeps you from smiling or being polite as you apply those sanctions. eric: speak softly and carry a big stickies what thee r door te roosevelt called it.

arthel. arthel: back here at home, in the battle for the white house, there is no rest for the weary. several candidates are back out on the campaign trail with the first democratic debate of the 2020 presidental season now in the history books. senators klobuchar, warren and sanders, well, they're taking their messages to voters as they attempt to harness any momentum they received squaring off on that stage in miami. for his part, former vp and frontrunner joe biden pushing back after senator kamala harris criticized him for his record on civil rights. mark meredith is here, he has the latest on all of these developments from our nation's capital. hi, mark. >> reporter: hi, arthel. good afternoon. this afternoon, joe biden is facing a new attack, this one from fellow democratic senator cory booker. booker is going after biden for a comment that was made during a speech on friday delivered in chicago. here's what biden had to say. >> you've got to recognize, that

kid wearing a hoodie may be the next poet laureate and not a gang-banger. there are too many black men and i might add women in prison. >> reporter: booker going after biden for those comments on twitter, booker says this isn't about a hoodie, it's about a culture that sees a problem with a kid wearing a hoodie in the first place. our nominee needs to have language to talk about race in a far more constructive way. recently, booker and biden have had quite a bit of turmoil. booker heavily criticized biden over comments the former vp made when praising past relationships he had with segregationist senators. this weekend, biden is spending time out on the west coast, he's got fundraisers in california and washington state. kamala harris' campaign says they're seeing a surge of donors following her first debate performance. they raised $2 million online within 24 hours of the debate and that over half of those who donated were first time donors.

hair whicharris will be in her e of california. she is scheduled to march in a game pride parade in san francisco. amy klobuchar attacked president trump, echoing similar remarks she made earlier this week in miami. >> as i said during that debate the other day, you do foreign policy by tweet at 15*u a.m 5:0n his bathrobe. he does whatever he wants with without regard to the effect it has on our society. it's time to tear down the barriers to success and make sure everyone has a seat at the table. >> reporter: a busy day out on the campaign trail. we're waiting to see bernie sanders, he's holding events in new hampshire. we're expecting to see him within the hour. we will be monitoring. arthel: mark, thank you. eric: there's some new details to tell you about emerging in the suspect in the case of

missing utah college student mckenzie lueke who has been found dead. a 31-year-old has been arrested yesterday after the discovery of her charred remains discovered in her backyard. the relationship between them remains unclear at this hour. police say they exchanged text messages the day before she disappeared. we have more from salt lake city. hi, matt. >> reporter: also, police say that their cell phone records indicate they were at a park not far from here within a minute of each other the night that mckenzie disappeared. this is the house where police say the murder suspect lived. they say they removed charred he remains of mckenzie from here and also some of her flesh. neighbors say in the days after she went missing, there were fires on his property that created an odor that hit you in the face. and today, detectives have finally removed their police tape and now neighbors are

dropping off momentos and flowers. police tell us they have submitted more evidence from the property to the crime lab, the murder suspect expected to be charged with aggravated murder and ki kidnapping. he was accused of rape five years ago. police say the adult female decided not to pursue charges and a handyman here tells fox producer christina corbin that the murder suspect recently asked him to build a soundproof room in his basement. the contractor said he was weirded out and said no. and throughout the day today we've been talking to neighbors and people dropping off flowers. >> unfortunately, a bad thing happened here. but i'm going to remember that there was great flowers and i don't -- i think that's my message here. i don't want this to be remembered as a terrible house. hopefully these flowers and some good thoughts will kind of erase those bad things.

>> reporter: so far the mother and father of mckenzie have not spoken out. you can imagine how heart-broken they are. there was lots of information, even screen shots of a pair of accounts that might have indicated that mckenzie was on dating websites. police 57bd her friends have not -- police and her friends have not necessarily denied that. we do not know why she met up with the man that police say murdered her. eric: matt, she apparently arrived at the airport after a grand parent's funeral from california, texted her mother that she landed and was safe and then at 3:00 in the morning met the suspect and that is part of their investigation, that perhaps she was meeting him, they had some relationship. do we know anything else about that? >> reporter: police say the phone records indicate they were communicating prior to meeting up. she left the salt lake city airport at 2:00 a.m., took a ride share vehicle to a park not

far from here at 3:00 in the morning, she met up with this murder suspect. police say the murder suspect denied seeing a picture of her or online profiles of her. police say when they got ahold of his phone, it indicated he had pictures of her on his phone and like li likely might have ko he was meeting up with. arthel: president trump suffers another immigration setback in the courts, just after congress passes a spending bill to address the humanitarian crisis at the border. but just what is the plan to spend billions in taxpayer money to fix the problem? arizona congressman andy biggs reacts to all of that, up next. >> if you watch the debates, if you call them debates, whatever they were, they don't really -- i think they want open borders, i guess, even though four years ago they wanted walls to be built.

carcourt said and what the president wants to do. >> reporter: today, president trump called the judge's ruling a disgrace. he said he's going to proceed with a controversial deportation raid. a judge ruled in favor of california's attorney general who led a 20 stay coalition of attorneys general who claimed the president's military money transfer was unlawful. tonight's court ruling stopped trump's money grab to divert $2.5 billion of unauthorized funding for his pet project. as we showed, all he has succeeded in building is a constitutional crisis, threatening immediate harm to california. congress passed a $4.6 billion humanitarian aid bill yesterday. the head of the department of homeland security said the funding will be put to good use. >> we intend to move very quickly to apply this funding to support our teams managing the crisis on the border and

enhancing conditions for families and children in custody, while expediting the transfer of unaccompanied children to well equipped facilities at health and human services. >> reporter: however, trump says the human takethe human humanitl doesn't address asylum reform. there is hopes that democrat coughs reach a bu bipartisan immigration deal. now he said the raid will still happen. >> we will be removing large numbers of people. people have to understand, yes -- >> in a week. >> starting sometime after july 4th. >> reporter: as for immigrant children being brought here, the customs and border protection's chief operating officer says as of last week, border pa l trolll stations have been holding 15,000 people, more than triple the mu maximum capacity of 4 you thousand.

eric: we're told it's at the breaking point. arthel: let's bring in republican congressman andy biggs from arizona, also the border security caucus co-chair. thank you for being here with us. >> thanks, arthel. arthel: first of all, are you happy with the senate bill passed last week and how will the $4.6 billion in humanitarian aid and border security be put to use to alleviate the humanitarian crisis at the southern border? >> first of all, i'm not particularly happy with it. i didn't think it was a good bill. i think it will, as bai will exe situation. i think it will make it worse. the money's going to go -- the vast majority of the money will go to unaccompanied minors. that's something we could all agree with. they'll see spending going over to i.c.e. but there will be restrictions on how i.c.e. spends it. for instance, they're going to

-- this is a four month bill so for four months we're going to see increases in the medical provisions, the transportation cost, the way to think of this, arthel, is i.c.e. basically runs an airline. they're moving people all over the country. this helps fund some of that. they'll be able to contract to put people in some facilities. it will not even begin to touch the actual crisis of the border when you still have 3500 -- even though we had reduction, we're still apprehending about 3500 a day and when you -- between i.c.e. and cbp, you have 25,000 bed shortfall and it's not going to get appreciably better with this bill. arthel: can congress rectify your concerns after you all are back from the 4th of july holiday? >> well, arthel, i wish we would. there was a great bill put out by mike rogers from alabama that

actually really got to the heart of the matter i thought, some of the funding issues. don't forget, this bill also at the senate side, it prohibits i.c.e. from communicating with other agencies regarding sponsors and people who are receiving these folks and so we have human sex traffickers, some are ending up being sponsors that we're delivering people to. this is a real problem. i'm afraid language, this is going to be deemed, well, we resolved it because that's the news out there, oh, yeah, this humanitarian funding is taking place. people don't realize that on one hand you're taking care of unaccompanied minors and hopefully can take care of some of the family units but you're also going to continue the catch and release program of we're going to release probably 3500 people a day still for the next four months and then you move to a cr and the question is, is any of this language enshrined in the cr.

you're talking a nine to 12 month period before anything can be built under i.c.e. protocols that are kind of regimented and regulated by the senate bill. arthel: nine to 12 months. that's a long time. how soon will we see results? >> with regard to unaccompanied minors and some of the families, you should see fairly quick results where some money will be able to get in there, for their immediate needs. but you're going to see people continue to get released all over the country. i do have a concern about where and who we are releasing these folks to. we didn't address a that. arthel: that's a concern of course. but right now we're talking about the children and those conditions that they're living in which are definitely inhumane by most accounts. so again, how soon will that be rectified? you said soon, but how do you mean? >> they should be getting some money pretty quickly and they

should be able to start contracting and i would imagine within the next couple weeks you should see some easing, a little bit of that. but you're still going to see this pressure on the population and i don't discount it. i've been down there. i've seen detention facilities. it's not really a great place. but don't forget, you also have - we haven't disincentiveized anyone to come. the real crisis will persist with all these people paying $4,000 in guatemala, that's a down payment. they get brought up here and we place them throughout the country, many times with cartel affiliates who will continue to exploit these people. so it will continue to be humanitarian crisis of magnitude that this country has never seen. in fact, perhaps the world has never seen. arthel: you have mark morgan, who the president just installed as acting director of i.c.e. earlier this month. then as of two days ago, that is now the acting commissioner of

customs and border patrol, cbp, replacing john sanders who resigned from i.c.e. four days ago, amid growing backlash on unsanitary conditions we spoke about at the border facilities. how much does the lack of consistent leadership at dhs, cbp, i.c.e., contribute to the immigration crisis at the border? >> well, i think it's really important. i think it contributes to everything from the low morale of our agents. i think it contributes to the lack of consistent policy setting and determination. and i think it's just very hard. but i think part of the problem is -- i think mark morgan will do a really good job and i met with him actually this -- within the last few days to talk about some of these issues. but i think the lack of leadership that's in place is a real problem and part of it is we can't get the senate to approve some of these folks so

it's going to continue to be a problem. arthel: how much of it is who the president is suggesting, who he's trying to get vetted? i mean, maybe they need to do some pre-checks before they get to that process of trying to get the senate to sanction them. >> well, there's no doubt that you want to make sure that you can get your appointee through. i don't know what their vetting process looks like. but sometimes the president's trying to get the people he thinks are the best to do the job and get them through and you've got democrats that can put up a speed stick at anything and i think the president's had trouble getting a lot of appointments through and it isn't necessarily because the appointments are bad or not qualified. it may be for political reasons. and that's -- we work in a political environment and it isn't always going to produce the most optimal outcome. but the reality is, if we could have somebody with -- who can sit there and be there for a while and remove the acting in

front of their name, so mark was acting i.c.e., now he's acting cbp, and that becomes a bit of a problem. but i think he's committed to doing the best job he possibly can and i think he'll do a good job. arthel: a final question, i want to goat your thoughts on the federal judge in california blocking the president from using $2.5 billion in military funds to expand the wall in your state, arizona, as well as in california. >> well, when i saw that they brought the flat the ninth circuit, i had a feeling we were in for an uphill fight and as long as the battle's in the ninth circuit, it's basically unpredictable. i'm not surprised that that's the outcome of the lower court. arthel: you're saying that's just political? >> it's just political. it's something we expected. and i think that the administration has a strong case and i think they can win it on appeal. but the best place for them is always outside the ninth circuit. i happen to live in the ninth circuit, coul so i can till, its

always better to be in a better circuit than the ninth circuit. arthel: definitely a lot to deal with there across the country. what i always tell you, get a prickly paiprickly pear margarie a break. eric: president trump is taking a new approach when it comes to diplomacy with russia. he sat down at the g-20 with president putin. the white house is looking to start talks with the kremlin on critical issues but some are raising concerns. >> they have great product, they have great land, very richland and a lot of oil, a lot of minerals and the kind of things that we like and i can see trade going out with russia hey, who are you? oh, hey jeff, i'm a car thief... what?!

arthel: can the u.s. and russia hit the reset button in their complex relationship? that's the big question after president trump let with russian leader vladimir putin at the g-20 summit in japan yesterday. the president appeared to make light of russian meddling in the 2016 election as he spoke with the strongman. with the mueller probe now complete, there appears to be an opening to press forward withs moscow on important issues. perhaps most importantly, arms control. gillian turner has a fox first preview of the administration's new russia strategy. >> reporter: senior administration officials tell fox news that the end of robert mueller's russia investigation brings with it a brand-new opportunity for the trump national security team to reset relations with russia and to he focus on some policy issues that need urgent attention. first up on the agenda, arms control. the white house summary of president trump's meeting with putin yesterday indicated that talked about one of the

president's primary goals, creating three-way arms control agreement with russia, china, and the united states. such a three-way deal would replace president obama's new start treaty slated to expire in february of 2021. an agreement that john bolton and other advisors have derided as too soft on russia. one thing not in the meeting with putin, election interference, although reporters did manage to get it in. [ indiscernible ] >> reporter: senior officials insist that now with the russia investigation findings safely in the rear view mirror, the national security team wants to get back to the bread and butter issues that dominated u.s./russia relationship for years. over the coming months they say to expect more focus on nuclear capabilities, as well as on iran, the civil war in syria,

russia's ongoing occupation of ukraine and the maduro regime in venezuela. most american presidents begin their term with sincere hopes to improve relationship with russirussia. more than two years into the trump's presidency, trump's national security team think they'll get their bite at the russia apple. eric: for more on what we can expect in dealings with moscow, let's bring in christian whiten, former state department senior advisor in the trump and the bush administrations. christian, we witnessed detante under president nixon. are we entering what could be a new era that will focus on policy? >> we could be. actually, there's a key national interest, more than just going along for the purpose of getting along or vice versa.

there's a very crucial importance of at least not driving china and russia together, not antagonizing russia to the point where they become essentially united with china in strategic competition against the u.s. and the west. unfortunately, that's been the direction things have been going lately. the idea that it may not be wise for the united states to take on two great powers at the same time which is what we've been doing. one of the openings the administration appears to be looking at, especially after the mulmueller investigation, some would call it a hoax, has come to an end, would be on arms control. eric: let me say, it wasn't a hoax because they did attack us. russia attacked our election system, targeted 21 states, broke into the election system in illinois, broke into two counsecountys in florida and lot they did with social media. how do we counter that, with the aggression of vladimir putin,

trying to grab land in the ukraine, building that bridge in crimea, having more influence in venezuela. >> russia does a lot of bad things. part of that was inherited with the previous administration, which talked big and did nothing about it. trump has done more to sanction russia, closing their consolate in san francisco, the list goes on and on. this isn't 1991 where we are the sole power in the world. it's not 194 15 1945 either. we have to make decisions in the world. i think it makes a lot of sense to do what has been impossible for the last two years, thanks to the democrats. you point out election interference. there was some of that. it wasn't significant, certainly didn't change the outcome of the 2016 election. you see democrats, including in the debates this week, saying basically they stole the election and russia is the

biggest geo strategic threat. it's not. china is. china is going to clean our clocks if we don't up our game. he's starting a dialogue. eric: during the debate they said china but also russia. i mean, how does this dynamic work? you brought in a great analogy, it's not 1945, or 1991. we are the super power. we have china in rear view mirror, a few lanes back. russia is a mile back but they've still got the pedal to the metal. how does the dynamic change when you deal with these threats, these rivalries, dealing with negotiating with vladimir putin, a man it seems president trump doesn't have a bad word to say about. >> you can judge people by their words or you can judge people by their actions. i think smart people and smart governments will judge people by their actions. donald trump has been tough on russia. he's not naive to think you can go to button with a plastic

button that says reset and think that's going to change 500 years of russian calculation of their own national interest. so again, this isn't -- think about when actually if you use another cold war analogy, nixon reached out to china at the time which itself, a very, very bad, very dangerous government but he did so in part to divide china away from the soviet union. what i think president trump could do now is the opposite, frankly. not to let our guard down, not to reduce u.s. defenses or back off on missile defense or anything like that but to begin a dialogue with russia, not what's proposed which is a three-way agreement with russia and china. i think that would be too complex, too hard to enforce. also, it would, by convincing china to reduce its intermediate range nuclear weapons you could end up switching them over to invest in long range ballistic missiles that could hit the united states n have some of those. not that much. i think starting down the road has some utility. eric: do you think that reaching out, that the president is trying to do now, do you

think will basically stop russia? the analysis they'll try again in the 2020 election, do you think with this new era, there could come some new openness and change in policy in the kremlin? >> it's possible. i wouldn't put expectations too high. i mean, the fact is, no one is going to push russia out of ukraine, cry knee media seems to -- crimea seems to be solidly in russia's control. no one wants to start a regional war. russia will continue to play a bad hand very well. but i think defending our election systems against foreign interference, whether it comes from chinese influence or russian influence or other actors is very important. it's something we should be prepared to do. at some point, trying to state our differences and getting past this to have a dialogue with moscow has utility. eric: and that is what diplomacy i guess is all about. christian, you know all about that, have had experience and we thank you for your analysis this afternoon. >> thank you, eric.
