belligerent of. we bring in garrett tenney with the latest on u.s. troop movements and what's happening in the strait of hormuz. >> reporter: the latest indication that iran is not backing down is this new video that its revolutionary guard released just a few hours after britain's foreign secretary warned iran was on a dangerous path. the video appears to have been shot by at least two cameras and purportedly shows iranian commandos rappeling from a helicopter onto the british oil tanker seized in the strait of hormuz. on saturday or mike pompeo said despite tehran's increasingly aggressive actions, the u.s. is ready to sit down to negotiate a deal to lift sanctions and address its destabilizing behavior in the region. >> today we have seen no indications that the iranians are prepared to fundamentally change the direction of their nation. these are not the actions of a country that looks like it's headed in the right direction, but we hope -- as president trump has said -- that they will sit down and discuss these items

with us. >> reporter: president trump has said repeatedly that he does not want to go to war with iran, though with the regime's escalating tensions lawmakers in both parties are concerned that outright military conflicts could be inevitable if either side makes the slightest mistake. >> it's very serious. the tensions couldn't be higher with what the iranians did these past few days in stopping vessels in international waters, the downing of our drone. these are extremely dangerous situations that could explode. there could be a miscalculation which could lead to a military conflict. >> reporter: iran has been trying to pressure european leaders to offer more economic support to make up for the toll of u.s. sanctions, and and today the country's foreign minister continued to try to divide the u.s. and its allies by blaming national security adviser john bolton for iran's seizure of a u.k. oil tanker, tweeting: make no mistake, having failed to lure donald trump into war of the century and fearing collapse

of his b team, ambassador bolton is turning his venom against the u.k. in hopes of dragging it into a quagmire. only prudence and foresight can thwart such ploys. while iran has been trying thus far to divide us from our european allies, it appears at this point he's only brought us closer together. leland: questions of how powerful zarif is, garrett, thanks. more coming up later in the show. kristin? chris: president trump sounded off on the four democratic congresswomen in a sunday morning tweet while he's spending the weekend in new jersey. our ellison barber is there in berkeley heights with the latest. hi, ellison. >> reporter: hi, kristin. it's been seven days since president trump's initial round of tweets about the so-called squad, the betweens that the house voted to condemn as racist. the president is still tweeting about those four congresswomen. in his latest tweet, calling on

the squad to apologize to america and israel for, in his words, the horrible things they have said. congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez spoke at a town hall in her ticket yesterday afternoon and seemed to joke about the president's attacks on herself and the other members of the squad before taking a more serious tone. she said, and i'm paraphrasing here, that once the president started telling american citizens to go back the your own country, it shows, in her view, that president trump's policies are not about immigration. she said it means they are about ethnicity and racism. she went on to say that the president's biggest mistake is that he said the quiet part out loud, and people now know what he's been with thinking the entire time. a senior white house aide told chris wallace on "fox news sunday" that he believes the term racism is often used to try and stifle dissent. >> i think the term racist, chris, has become a label that is too often deployed by the

left, democrats in this country simply to try to silence and punish and suppress people they disagree with, speech that they don't want to hear. >> reporter: all of this as capitol hill waits to finally hear from special counsel robert mueller, set to testify before the house judiciary e and intelligence committees on wednesday. president trump told reporters he will not watch. >> as far as i'm concerned, they already took their impeachment vote, and the impeachment vote was so lop sided, it was a massive victory. and you know what? at some point they have to stop playing games, because they're just playing games. youno, i won't be watching muel. >> reporter: democrats are hoping robert mueller will go into detail about at least five instances laid out in the special counsel's report which they believe potentially constitutes obstruction of justice. kristin? kristin: ellison, in totally unrelated news, we're hearing

that president trump crashed a wedding last night in bedminster? is that true? >> reporter: yes, yes, he did -- [laughter] and we have of video of it. hook at this. so you can see in the video a tieless president trump hugging and greeting the bride and groom. fox is told the bride and groom are big fans of president trump's. they had their wedding here in bedminster, here in new jersey. apparently, they got engaged there as well back in 2017. a guest at the wedding tells us it was the couple's dream to have president trump there. kristin? kristin: well, and the vice president's daughter actually just got engaged as well, so congratulations to her. ellison, thanks. leland: back now to the mueller hearing scheduled for wednesday, the president says he's not going to be watching. one person who is going to be watching, freshman democratic congresswoman, harley rudy, he's going to be watching because he's going to be there. appreciate it, as always. the president says, look,

there's already been an impeachment vote, and this is just more and more fodder. what are you hoping to get from mueller that leads you to something bigger or perhaps more votes for impeachment? >> i want to dig in deeper on the mueller report and have him actually talk about his findings. you know, the sad reality is that a lot of people haven't read the report, including a lot of members of congress. and we know that we are a nation that watches the screen, whether it's the small screen or the big screen and anything in between. and i think mueller's going to bring forth the personal understanding of what that investigation entails, how deep it is, how wild it is and why it's so important -- why it's so important for all americans to dig in. leland: he gave a statement and he said any testimony i give will not go outside the four corners of this report. what's the plan for you guys? if he just simply says, look, i'll refer you to page x in the

report over and over and over again, how do you get him off of that? >> well, that's going to be a bit of a challenge if he holds true to his statement. but, listen -- leland: any reason to believe he's not going to hold true to his statement? >> i think he'll get a little bit broader than he has -- leland: why do you believe that? >> we cannot lose sight of -- leland: hold on, this is important. why do you believe that he's going to do something directly contradictory to what he said he was going to do? >> because i think the question, he's a patriot, he is someone who has been confirmed by the senate and is going to do his job that he was hired to do by a republican congress. and if that requires him to answer questions for -- many in depth and give a little more context to what the final report says, i'm quite encouraged that he'll do so. leland: you don't want to share with us any of the questions you're going to watch us ahead of time, do you? [laughter] >> unfortunately, i'm not asking questions because it's judiciary

and intelligence, not oversight, but i will be watching with a close eye like most americans who want to know what transpired and hold russia accountable for their interference. leland: all right, appreciate that. let's move on to some of your fellow members of the democratic party, the squad. ilhan omar tweeting this: you should end this charade and accept that this racist president wants every black-brown person deported and muslim perp banned. -- person banned. i don't think any of his policies say that, but do you agree with that? is that help. >> i don't agree with any of this rhetoric going on, and i called out both sides. this is not moving us forward as a country to serve our communities and the issues that affect us every day. and when you think about how much time has been spent by the media as well as the individuals involved in this, it is taking us away from what we need to be focused on. leland: okay. all right, congressman, we really appreciate it, as always. i see you're in san diego.

it's a little bit warmer here in d.c. [laughter] >> thanks, leland. leland: safe travels to swamp. thank you, sir. kristin: time for reaction from the other side of the aisle courtesy of member of the house oversight committee mark green. congressman, i'll start by getting your response to something that congressman ruled da said. he believes bob mueller is a patriot and, therefore, he may go outside the bounds of his report when he testifies next week, something that mueller has said repeatedly that he will not do. what do you think? do you think mueller will stick to what's in his report, or will he go beyond it? >> i think that's ridiculous. thanks for having me on the show. he's done this exhaustive report for the judiciary, for the justice department, and he's suddenly going to provide more details? that would either admit that he failed in doing a comprehensive report, or he was intentionally trying to, you know, do something like that. it's ridiculous to think that he's going to come up with more details than he did in a

two-year investigation and an official report to the justice department. that's, it's just -- you know, he mentioned talking about us being a screen nation for screen time, that's what this is about. it's just more tv for those guys to advance their 20 narrative. that's all the democrats want out of this. kristin: robert mueller is no stranger to these big hearings on capitol hill, but isn't there a chance that, you know, when pressed by members of these committees that he may feel compelled to say more than what's in the report? >> well, that would put himself in trouble for not doing a very good report in the first place. i mean, if that report -- some of which was redacted because it was classified -- if you would expect that it would be a comprehensive report, that it would have every single piece of information that is there. and i doubt very seriously that mueller left anything out of that report, and there's not going to be any new revelations coming out of these hearings. it's absurd to think so. kristin: chris wallace

interviewed chairman jerry mad there this morning on "fox news sunday." i want to play a clip and get your reaction. watch this. >> no, the country has not moved on. the president and the attorney general have lied to the american people about what was in the mueller report. people don't realize a 448-page report. i believe when people hear what was in the mueller report, then we'll be able, we'll be in a position to begin holding the president accountable and to make this less of a lawless administration. kristin: so he thinks that the country has not moved on. do you think the country has moved on? >> absolutely. if you look at all of the polls and recognize that polls aren't 100% accurate, but the results are so vastly people want to move on, that it's ridiculous to assert otherwise. maybe the hard left in california and places like that, in chicago, they want to hear more about it, but not in tennessee, not in the rest of the country.

kristin: so if the country has moved on from the mueller report, then hasn't it also moved on from the origins of the entire russia investigation if which we know is going to be a topic that republicans are really going to grill mueller on this week? >> i think there are a lot of americans who think that bob mueller failed to get to details on whether or not, you know, peter strzok, you know, some of the stuff that they did, we know he probably violated the hatch act. but there was no investigation into his actions. when did we know about collusion, that there was no collusion? i mean, comey talked about it before he was even fired back in '17. and yet this investigation was stretched on through the midterm elections? that's kind of concerning, and i think there are a lot of -- at least, again, in tennessee people want to dig into that stuff. this fake dossier that was used to get a fisa warrant, i mean, to surveil another political party? americans want to know what happened there. absolutely, they do.

the report very comprehensively addressed the collusion issue, there's no collusion, there's no obstruction. let's dig in and find out how those fisa warrants were granted on a fake dossier and why mueller didn't look into it. kristin: congressman, really quick, what is your -- i know you're not going to be able to ask any questions because you're on the house oversight committee, but what would be your advice to republican members of the house intelligence and judiciary committees? what would you advise them to do and say at these hearings? >> yeah. these guys have got to find out when there was no collusion, when that determination was made. we've got to dig in on strzok and see if those guys, i mean, they were talking about an insurance policy to keep the guy from becoming president. that's got to be researched. and then, of course, the dossier. those are the three things that i want that judiciary committee to dig into. kristin: congressman, i know you will be watching the hearing, we'll be watching, maybe the president, though he says he will not be watching.

congressman, thank you. >> thank you. kristin: and for more on this, be sure to tune into "fox news sunday" right after the show, chris wallace sits down with steve miller and chairman democrat jerry nadler s and you got a preview of what he said just moments ago. leland: tens, if not hundreds of millions, we're now hearing 200 million people are dealing with triple-digit temperatures and heat indexes, a heat wave that has already turned potentially deadly. jacqui heinrich in new york, outside just to prove to us exactly how hot it is. we appreciate it, but we are not envious. >> reporter: no, you know, they get harder as the day goes on. [laughter] you're lucky to get one out of me now. before the weekend though the mayors of boston, new york, philly and d.c. issued heat emergencies, and in baltimore and new york they also issued code red extreme heat alerts. in new york city people are flocking to places that have

air-conditioning. the library serving as one of the 500 city cooling centers. several outdoor events were canceled. mayor de blasio issued an executive order for tall office buildings to set their thermostats to no lower than 78 degrees to protect from a blackout. >> our fear is people diagnose, i mean, it's very -- dying, it's very clear. our fear is with this kind of temperature people aren't used to it, it's a very rare occurrence to get this heat index to over 110. again, that's going to feel like over 110 degrees. it's pretty shocking to the body. >> reporter: in washington, d.c. the peak heat index is expected to reach 131 tree -- 111 degrees. zoo animals are being fed ice, others being hosed off, and neighbors in maryland with a code red -- or a code orange alert, rather, for unhealthy smog levels. the heat index reaching 109

there. excessive heat actually kills more people than floods or tornadoes each year, and to stay cool experts say you have to stay indoors and stay hydrated and take the heat seriously. >> people can have anything from just simple heat exhaustion which is just overloading from the heat and, you know, just sweating and dehydrated and things like that to something as extreme as heatstroke where folks really can be no functional. they can really lose consciousness. >> reporter: more than 200 million americans in 32 states are under heat wave advisories through tonight, and they could be facing heat indexes, a feels-like temperature of over 100 degrees. leland? leland: and those pandas get treated better than we do. i want a popsicle with fruit in it. it looked pretty good. [laughter] work on that, jacqui, and the doors of 1211 are only a few feet away. >> reporter: right over there. [laughter] kristin: a closer look at

this weekend, but this time against president trump. senator bernie sanders, who is campaigning on a medicare for all single-payer program, just wrapped up a meeting with union workers in iowa today. he said as president, he would make appointments to the national labor relations board who would support unions and criticized the picks president trump made to the board. he's one of the many presidential candidates who also campaigned at the aarp conference in iowa this weekend answering questions for older voters about health care costs and the future of social security. and like many democratic presidential hopefuls, he blasted the president and his supporters from a north carolina rally earlier this week who were chanting send her back, referring to congresswoman ilhan omar. >> to try to gain votes by dieding us up based -- dividing us up based on the color of our skin or where we were born or our religion or our sexual orientation or whatever, that is, to me, a very, very

un-american and ugly thing for this president to be doing. >> reporter: cory booker was on state of the union, and steve bullock was on abc this week, and both candidates fiercesly criticizing the chant -- fiercely criticizing the chant. >> the reality is this is a guy who is worst than a racist, he's actually using racist tropes and racial language for political gains, trying to use this as a weapon to divide our nation. >> it's racist, and those 13 seconds where trump just basically soaked in those sounds and those chants, that's going to be a stain on this presidency. >> reporter: former vice president joe biden campaigned in las vegas, also criticizing trump over the chants. biden told supporters his presidency would return the nation to normalcy. >> we are literally, not figuratively, in the battle for the soul of the country. donald trump's viciousness, his

bullying, his utter disregard for people's lives is literally tearing the soul out of who we are. >> reporter: and for indiana mayor pete buttigieg, he will campaign at the naacp convention in detroit later today. a presidential forum slated there on wednesday. kristin? kristin: christina coleman, thank you. leland: with that, we bring in kim principle, democratic strategist, former obama campaign spokesman, they're on the wrong side of the screens, but you'll figure out pretty much soon where josh and zack stand. josh, to you first, every one of these candidates -- a la the cory booker sound bite -- is trying to set this up as them versus the president rather than them versus the democratic field. is that good or bad for the president? >> it's probably not great for the president, but it won't last because we saw in the last debate kamala harris going after joe biden, that's going to be the theme of night two.

this is democrat-on-democrat violence, leland. and i think what you're seeing here is an entire movement on the democratic party that's not about ideas, not about what's good for the country or the economy. they're trying to attack the president as the spawn of hell. don't work for that guy, he's a bad guy. then they fight with each other. i'm hoping the debate will be about actual issues, but i'm not holding -- leland: in fairness, there were a lot of issues, the idea that almost everybody on the stage was willing to give free health care to immigrants and others. we'll put up the debate cards, the fight cards, if you will, for night one of the debate. we'll get tonight two in a minute. zack, as you look at this, bernie sanders on there as sort of the headliner in that, but also elizabeth warren is there. so this is the new versus old progressive squareoff. what does each person have to do? >> remember, you need a 15% threshold to even get delegates,

so realistically we're already starting to see a top four, top five kind of shake out. but for senator sanders, he really needs to differentiate himself. he has been dropping in the polls while senator warren has been rising, and i think that she's taking a lot of the same supporters he's had historically. so we'll have to see whether they can show a differentiation and who can win over a lot of those white working class voters especially in the industrial midwest. leland: all right. we put up a fight card for the second night and, zack, to your point in terms of top tear candidates there, it's biden and harris next to each other, it would appear based on the card. josh, to you. if you were advising biden on this, you said that you know that kamala harris is going to come after him. what's the advice? >> well, first of all, joe biden needs to stop trying to apologize for the past. what kamala harris is making him do is relitigate his record for over 30 years. she's pushing him harder and harder to left, and that's why he's seeing his numbers begin to crater. the democratic --

leland: wait, is it really fair to say biden's numbers are cratering? >> i think after that first debate he fell about 10% among primary voters, so whether that translates into a general election weakness, we'll see. biden's strength in the base is a lot of democrats still consider themselves to be moderate, at least politically moderate, semi-left. but now that the party has moved hard left because, really, these 22 people on the debate stage are not the face of the democratic. the four referred to as the squad, they are, and they're defining the debate. the these democrats are -- [inaudible conversations] leland: you made your point. zack, that brings up the question to you which is as somebody who successfully ran part of the obama campaign, that was the obama/biden campaign, do you worry that josh's comment about the squad and the rest of the questions that are going to come on the debate stage continues to move this field to the left, makes whoever the nominee unelectable because they have become so progressive? >> well, i do think that no

matter what position any democrat takes, they're going to be defined a certain way specifically, probably as a socialist by the president -- leland: we know that's the game plan, for sure. >> yeah, i get it. josh at least raises a fair point which is to say the majority of democratic primary voters do self-identify as moderate or conservative, so you have to recognize you can't simply go out and continue to run to left and expect to win some of not just the general election voters over, but some of the primary voters over. i think vice president biden and even mayor buttigieg have a unique lane that a they've actually owning. i don't think his numbers have cratered. leland: interesting that you put mayor pete in that, in that centrist lane. i'm not sure he would put himself there, but interesting that you do. zack, josh, appreciate it, fellows. great discussion. josh, enjoy the rest of the vacation. thanks for taking a few minutes occupant of it for us. >> my pleasure, thank you. leland: kristin? ♪ ♪

>> almost exactly 50 years ago right now at 1:54 p.m. eastern time apollo 11 astronauts buzz aldrin and neil armstrong left the surface of the moon in the eagle lander and headed for a rendezvous with astronaut michael collins in orbit. in total they spent 20 hours on the moon before returning to earth as heroes. and speaking of space, i recently took a tour with nasa administrator jim bridenstine, and he showed me one of the high-tech instruments being used to detect water on the moon. >> this is the lunar reconnaissance orbiter currently operational around the moon. it has seven different instruments onboard. it's measuring kind of the elevation of the moon and every part of the electromagnetic spectrum and sending all that data, and it's also measuring volatiles, looking for hydrogen, things hike that so they can make assessment as to where the water, ice might be, for

example. and it's taking all that data and sending it back to here at the goddard space flight center. and from here it gets distributed out. kristin: i also spoke with him about former president barack obama's impact on the space agency's effort to return to moon and what he remembers about apollo 11. >> i'm the first nasa administrator that was not alive during that achievement. i'll tell you what my generation remembers, what do i remember, the challenger explosion with christa mcauliffe onboard. that's what's emblazoned in my mind, that stunning achievement where everyone knows exactly where they were based on something positive. is this something that 50 years after it's achieved people will still be celebrating as today we are celebrating the apollo 11 moon landing? those are the kind of achievements that we need to be striving for and achieving successfully, and that's what we're doing with artemis. kristin: previous prime

ministers have set the goal of -- presidents have set the goal of returning to the moon, and the programs get killed because a new president or congress kills the program. what can you say to men and women that work at nasa to reassure them that this won't happen to artemis? >> nasa has two major risks. one risk is technical, and we have a lot of great scientists and engineers that can retire the technical risk. the other big risk, which we have not been good at in the past, is political. and that's one of the reasons it's important to accelerate the mission. we need to move faster, was the longer this -- because the longer this takes, the more likely it is to get cap selled. kristin: do you think american astronauts would already be back on the moon if president obama had not killed constellation? >> i think there's a good possibility that would be the case. kristin: let's talk about the tweet, nasa should not be talking about the moon, it should be talking about mars. how do you not talk about the moon when that is the first

step? >> well, i called the president after that tweet, and i asked him, hey, i want to make sure we're all in agreement here, and he said, absolutely. he said, look, we want to talk about mars. mars is that generational kind of idea. he said, i know you have to go to moon to get to mars. nothing has changed. space policy directive one is today as it has been. he wants to make sure that as an agency we're also making sure we're not missing the forest for the trees. the moon is the proving ground and mars is the destination. kristin: and after that tweet from president trump, again, just a few days ago in the oval office, president trump again seemed to kind of question where nasa should go next, the moon or mars direct. so i asked the vice president about it yesterday, and we'll play that clip in just a little bit. leland: it's a fascinating debate, especially because you had some of the apollo 11 astronauts in the oval office, and he was sort of playing them off -- >> and they're divided.

protests. bryan llenas joining us now. really tough in san juan, bryan. >> reporter: yeah, leland. look, there have been nine days of protests but, obviously, only in pert rio can you do -- party rio can you do to -- puerto rico can you do a protest like this. you can see police and police helicopters out here in the bay of san juan. they are monitoring what have been protests. you'll see that there are kayaks and jet skis and people all the way out here that have been making noise to just try to, calling for the governor to resign. ricardo roseo has refused to do this. this morning there were protesters who had a yoga session outside of the governor's mansion. the big day tomorrow, it could be the largest day of

demonstrations in the history of this island. in terms of what people are really upset about it, not just the group chant. a couple of weeks ago two of the top lieutenants were arrested by the fbi for steering some $15 million into the hands of some private, unqualified contractors. you add that plus a bunch of really demeaning text messages, and you get what you have right now. we spoke to some protesters over the last few days. take a listen. >> bad governance. it's corrupt. it's about high-level government corruption that's costing a lot of money. it's ruining our own reputation for the american people. enter puerto rico is broken right now, broken. >> and there's only a little people that are on his side, you know? there's -- most of us are on this side. we're fighting for him to leave. >> reporter: the local press e is reporting that the governor is having a meeting inside of his mansion right now with his top aides about what, we do not

know. but we do know that he's been sending out photos via twitter and instagram as though it is business as usual though it is anything but. the protests got really bad on that wednesday night that you saw that video there with some tear gas, and the fear is that tomorrow could end up being the same way if he does not resign soon. the pressure is mounting from the mainland. we've got now about most of the main democratic candidates have come out and have at least spoken about having solidarity with the puerto rican people, including joe biden. others have come out right away and have asked for him to resign point-blank including representative tulsi gabbard who is the only one of those candidates on the island the last couple of days with the protesters. again, leland, this is something in which it's beyond those group text messages which was, essentially, value dating what many puerto ricans had felt over the last few years. this island has been mired in economic crisis over the last

decade plus. schools have been closed, hundreds of them, pensions cut, jobs lost, and those text messages value dated all of their -- value dated all of their frustrations, and they're hoping this loud music right outside of his residence and these jet skis and the annoyance will finally push him out. leland: it's noteworthy about whether you're at, the idyllic nature of it, and this is an area in puerto rico that just has not been able to get its act together financially x. as you point out, they've had just continu alterable problems. bryan llenas, we're going to watch this protest, obviously, on the jet skis and the big protest tomorrow as well. kristin? kristin: almost exactly right now 50 years ago the apollo 11 crew was preparing to return from the moon. now some of the most iconic artifacts from that journey are on display including neil armstrong's space suit. more on that coming up next. ♪u

about where nasa should to go next, the moon or mars. and even president trump seems on the fence about where exactly nasa should go next. so i asked the vice president yesterday if president trump is really onboard with this plan to go to moon first and then mars. here's what he said. >> you bet. 100%. kristin: okay. >> space policy directive one that the president signed shortly after restarting the national space council really committed the united states to return to to the moon and then go to mars. kristin: no chance that we're going to start down this road and president trump is going to say, no, no, no, really we're just going to -- >> look, what the american people are used to is this a president who always wants to go higher, farther, faster than anybody else has ever gone. kristin: we've spent a lot of time on that topic, moon versus mars direct, but it's important because that has been what has plagued the administration for so long. nasa, it's plagued them for so

long. that's why you really need a president to stick to a goal and then let congress fund it, not waver. leland: there is an irony here because you will know and people who are fans of the space program know that 50 years ago after president kennedy issued his challenge to put a man on the moon not because it is easy, but because it is hard, there was huge debate about whether to blast off from then cape kennedy and go right to moon or whether to have a lunar lander that was going to go around there and left. and that debate went on for a very long time much like this debate now, moon, versus mars. kristin: it is a debate that has raged on for decades, and it has divided the apollo 11 astronauts, even my parents, they're on opposite sides -- leland: pretty cool that you talked to vice president yesterday, but kristin had another interview yesterday. do we have pictures? it divided your parents? kristin: my dad thinks we should go straight to mars, my mom

thinks we should go to the moon. really quick -- leland: [inaudible] [laughter] kristin: my dad was talking to buzz aldrin, and he said i'm honored to meet you again, i remember exactly what i was doing 50 years ago today, and buzz aldrin replied, me too! [laughter] leland: probably not the first time he has heard that or used that response. kristin: whatever, he gave me that response on the actual anniversary, i thought it was -- leland: you did a great job, and the time with your parents was really special. it's been fun spending the hour with you at home. chris wall a hayes and "fox news sunday" is up next. see ya. ..
