> hundreds of thousands of people are expected to take over one of the island's busiest roads today hoping to convince the governor to step down. overnight, he announced he will not seek re-election but that he won't quit over leaked online conversations showing him mocking women and hurricane victims. his administration's facing federal corruption charges. today will mark the tenth straight day of protests. and watch this as video captures the moment a navy intelligence aircraft was aggressively followed by a venezuelan fighter jet over international waters. the u.s. southern command who called the move unprofessional sharing just how close the russian-made jet got to the navy aircraft. the incident comes as the u.s. and more than 50 other nations back opposition leader juan gay

guado's attempt to oust president nicolas maduro. venezuela's at the center of rising tensions between the u.s. and iran. iran's foreign minister and national security advisor john bolton trading jabs on twitter. the foreign minister claims the u.s. is involved in economic terrorism by imposing sanctions on iran and venezuela. bolton fired back by calling out iran's support of the, quote, illegitimate regime. bolton was blamed on twitter, saying make no mistake, having failed to lure donald trump into the war of the century, john bolton is turning his venom against the u.k. in the hopes of draging into a quagmire.

president trump vowing to meet with senate majority leader chuck schumer as soon as possible after his visit to the southern border. this comes as mexico ignores today's deadline to make an asylum deal with the u.s. griff jenkins joins us live in washington with how the trump administration is reacting. good morning, griff. >> reporter: good morning. perhaps the start of talks towards bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform. we'll see. the president tweeted this last night. senator chuck schumer has finally gone to the southern border. he missed a large group of illegal immigrants trying to enter the u.s. illegally. they rushed and border patrol agents were injured. he must have seen how dangerous and bad for our country the border is. it is not a manufactured crisis, it's the fake news media and their democratic partners are trying to portray.

schumer and a dozen other democratic senators toured a texas detention facility last friday, blasting the conditions. this comes as mexico appears to have avoide avoided the deal one border. mike pompeo met with mexico's foreign minister, highlighting mexico's efforts including deploying mexican national guard troops and accepting 20,000 immigrants seeking asylum in the u.s. after the meeting, pompeo had this to say. >> we've got a long way to go. there's much more work to do. i'll talk with the president and the team back in washington and we'll decide exactly which tools and exactly how to proceed. >> reporter: right now mexico avoids being designated as a safe third country, that's where negotiations were back in june.

that would make mexico accept most asylum seekers. they would have to apply for asylum in mexico rather than the u.s. we'll see what secretary pompeo has to say this morning when he appears on "fox & friends" at 7:00 a.m., very fluid situation we need i think three different countries to agree to do that. griff jenkins live for us. thank you. heather: this is another big story happening this week. democrats speaking out ahead of robert l mule r's testimony on the -- mueller's testimony on the hill this week. jerry nadler insists the russia report lace the ground work for impeachment proceedings against the president. >> the report suggests substantial evidence that the president is guilty of crimes. we need to present the facts to the american people and see where we go from there. heather: republicans say that's not on the minds of most americans. >> any thought of impeachment is

waning and they know that because the report said there was no collusion and no obstruction. the mueller report is a one-sided report that's not been qaiquestioned from the other si. heather: mueller will testify this wednesday on the russia investigation. congressman mark greene, member of the house oversight committee, says the russia report doesn't matter to democrats. he says they just want more screen time to push their 2020 narrative. >> i think that's ridiculous, like he's done this exhaustive report for the justice department and he's suddenly going to provide more details. that would either admit he failed in doing a comprehensive report or he was intentionally trying to do something like that. it's ridiculous to thinks 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 what this is about. it's more tv for those guys to advance their 2020 narrative. that's all the democrats want

out of this. heather: some democrats vowing to keep trying to impeach the president, despite their own party's majority voting down their efforts. let's talk about the extreme weather now. today, flash flooding and damaging winds are threatening several states across the u.s. forecasters sending the warning as a cold front passes through the midwest and northeast. it's expected to cool off nearly 200 million people as the heat wave comes to an end, blamed for at least six deaths. the heat is linked to major power outages, one forcing an evacuation a at a philadelphia retirement community, the other left nearly 50,000 new yorkers in the dark. roads were left buckled in south dakota from the extreme heat. eight people were injured when lightning struck a crowded florida beach. one man is in critical condition after taking a direct hit from the lightning. witnesslessrushed onto the beach in the middle of the storm to

pull him to safety and then start cpr. all of the other victims are expected to be okay. so that's good news. here's something fun. new york yankees legend maryana rivera joins the baseball hall of fame. he is known for his 19-year career helping the team collect five world series titles. in front of a packed crowd in new york, the closing pitcher recalled coming to the u.s. from panama, not knowing any english. >> i did it with dignity, honor and pride. i tried to carry the pinstripes the best that i could. i think i did all right with that. [ cheering and applause ] heather: rivera is the only player to be unanimously voted into the hall of fame. he entered cooperstown along mike racina and roy holiday.

iran is now blaming john bolton as you heard after the rogue nation seizing a british oil tanker. how should the u.s. respond? jim hanson says iran needs to pay the price now and he joins us live, up next. and a close call with a great white shark caught on camera. the big scare for a little boy fishing with his family. wow. ♪ show me the sign. ♪ take it to the limit one more time. ♪t that's a blazer? that's a chevy blazer? aww, this is dope. this thing is beautiful. i love the lights. oh man, it's got a mean face on it. it looks like a piece of candy. look at the interior. this is nice. this is my sexy mom car. i would feel like a cool dad. it's just really chic. i love this thing. it's gorgeous. i would pull up in this in a heartbeat. i want one of these. that is sharp. the all-new chevy blazer. speaks for itself. i don't know who they got to design this

you will be fed. after your court i want and expect the ship for security reasons. >> there are concerns you are violating international law. heather: these were the

dramatic moments before an oil tanker was seized in the strait of hou hormuz. how should the u.s. respond? jim hanson joins us right now. listening to the audiotape, does that tell you anything more about iran's intentions? >> i think iran's intentions are perfectly clear and it's kind of a joke for them to claim that we're trying to drag the u.k. into the war. this seems to be a pretty one-sided attempt by them to provoke some sort of military action so they can scary guess ththe europeans and everyone el. it's been a month plus of a wave of attacks across the region. they've hit oil tankers, pipelines, civilian airports and president trump has been listening to his allies and advisors who have been counseling restraint but thus far that hasn't worked. heather: you referenced this, so let's bring this you up from

iran's foreign minister, saying that the u.k. is being dragged into the war of the century by john bolton, they say make no mistake, having failed to lure donald trump into the war of the century and fearing collapse of his b team, ambassador john bolton is turning his venom against the u.k. in hopes of dragging it into a quagmire. only prudence and foresight can thwart such employs such ploys. what do you think of that? >> the bottom line is the u.k. is leaderless right now. theresa may is no longer really in charge and they need to get their hostages out. that's the first thing. there's hostages on the tanker. once that is done, it's time for the u.s. and the u.k. to show iran that they cannot shut down and menace shipping in the gulf. i think we need a no float, no fly zone through the shipping lanes there and say if a boat, a drone, a helicopter or any piece

of iranian military equipment leaves the coast of one of their island bases, we blow it up. that's the message they need to get. heather: at last report, you mentioned those hostages, that ship, which the u.k. ship was a swedish owned ship, had 23 crew members on-board, including indians, philippinos and russians. will that change things? >> i think those people's lives matter. i think we don't want to take action until we negotiate, probably the brits negotiate that release. one it's done, it's time for the iranians to pay a price. thus far, our actions have been self-defense confidencive. we've done nothing to make them pay for the attacks they've conducted. it's time for some of those iranian military assets to turn into smoldering wreckage. heather: what do you mean by

that, jim? how would the u.s. go about doing that withou inches withoug full scale war? >> we know where they launch the speed boats from and we should destroy every one of them. there aren't that many. if we hit a couple dozen places we could wipe out their ability to create a large scale menace. they can still do terrorist attacks. it would show them they're not going to be allowed to shut down a vital shipping lane and disrupt commerce for the entire world. heather: jim hanson, live for us this morning. thank you, jim. appreciate it. >> you got it. heather: have a good day. the time now is about 20 minutes after the top of the hour. senator kamala harris feeling the heat from taylor swift fans over a fundraiser. why they can't shake it off. >> usa!

there's been a lot of negative reaction. some people are reacting to the whole situation on social media. austin says he has to rethink his whole stance on the scooter/taylor feud now that kamala harris is involved. mag dalynn thinks the whole situation is silly. she says let me translate, scooter and taylor are in a feud means kamala harris means she risks losing a vote, so she calls it first world problems. another twitter user says i guess kamala is clearly not part of taylor swift's squad. no, she is not. catch cam need.kamala harris nek herself, is the money worth the drama on social media. heather: interesting watching the hollywood connection. everyone is wondering about the support. >> kamala harris has big-time support from rich people from california because she's from calcalifornia. heather: there's more to come

heather: welcome back. a look at our top headlines this morning, starting with a fox news alert. brand flew photos just released on a couple's abandoned van

after they were found murdered on the side of a highway. police believe that north carolina res chin resident chins and her boyfriend lucas fowler were killed when their car broke down in canada. massive protests expected in puerto rico today after the governor refuses to resign. hundreds of thousands of people are expected to take over one of the island's busiest roads, hoping to convince the governor to step down. and today late justice john paul stevens will lie in repose at the u.s. supreme court. stevens served more than three decades on the bench before retiring in 2010. he is known for authoring the decision in 2004 to give prisoners in guantanamo bay the right to plead for their release in u.s. court. the funeral will b be tomorrow. all eyes on robert mueller as he heads to capitol hill this week

for one of the most anticipated days. >> the report presents a very substantial evidence that the president is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors and we have to let mueller present those facts to the american people and then see where we go from there because the administration must be held accountable. heather: but could democrats turn this into a 2020 campaign event? here to debate, daniel turner, president of power the future and mark levine, member of the virginia house of delegates. thank you for joining us. daniel, i'll start with you. do you think that democrats will turn into this a 2020 event? >> absolutely. it makes sense for them to try to do so because they don't have much else to run on and this is what they've been doing since 2016. i think the risk that both sides run here is that in recent polling there's been no interest clearly in impeachment so that's a democrat problem but for both sides, i saw a poll where 40% of

the people who were polled never even heard of robert mueller. so there is a large middle america that really does not care about this and if either republicans or democrats try to play this too hard they could be speaking to a group of people that's not listening. heather: mark, what do you think about that? could they turn voters off if they just kind of turn it into too much of a show? >> i think daniel's right that most americans are ignorant of the mueller report. they don't know what's in it. they haven't read the 448 pages. i think americans have a right to know if their president is committing criminal acts. the attorney general lied and that's what robert mueller said. the attorney general lied when he said the president is not guilty. there's damning evidence of impeachable evidence in the report. this is a way to bring this criminal information to the american public. heather: i thought what he in fact said was that the ag or the media had misinterpreted what

the ag said, something along those lines. >> it was interesting. >> he condemned the ag personally. he said bob barr did not give an accurate pick depiction of the summary of the report. heather: and confused the report. >> the march 29th hearing that mr. mueller held, it shouldn't be a piece of modern art where everyone can interpret it a certain wage that'certain way. i welcome the hearing. maybe we'll get clear answers. if you're a staffer for a republican or democrat your drafting questions to extract the answer you want to hear to run it into a campaign event. it hasn't worked thus far for democrats. maybe they'll get him to say something he hasn't thus far. i don't know what that is. heather: he said he won't. i want you to respond to this, this tweet from mark meadows on democrats possibly orchestrating the hearing as a campaign event. he said democrats privately orchestrating the mueller hearing this week to be a 2020 campaign event for the left, this isn't about transparency,

if it was, we would be talking about the evidence of blatant fisa abuse, warrantless secret recordings and declassifying documents. >> we do need to talk about the evidence in the report. like with richard nixon, there was a road map of the presidential misconduct. president nixon unindicted co-conspirator, now we have president trump an unindicted co-consistenconspirator. i think the american public have a right to know what happened. this is the first testimony and we'll bring up witnesses to talk about what the president did. the american people have a right to know. heather: they will also learn when robert mueller knew what he learned. >> i think republicans are curious to find out a lot of information. the investigation lasted months and months and cost millions of dollars.

i will be curious to get information about fisa warrants, about collusion with the hillary clinton campaign, about fusion gps. there's a lot of information i think republicans are curious to know. heather: daniel, mark -- >> it went on for a long time because the president kept lying to investigators. heather: maybe after this we'll all be able to move on to some important topics and policies that impact everyday people. daniel, mark. thank you. >> thank you. heather: some other headlines for you. a desperate search underway for a texas mother last seen at a concert. el paso police fear take erica gainer may be in danger. she went on a date saturday evening, sharing some pictures at the concert. but the man that she was with says that he saw her take an uber. her family says this is not like her to disa -- disappear. >> this is not like her. she never would not have my son, she always calls me, texts me. heather: she was last seen

several fans being hit by balls. what about this, a texas officer getting in on some fun a little bit while responding to annoys -- to a noise complaint. the officer was caught riding a mechanical bull with ease, pretty good there. he appears to stay on for about 30 seconds before falling off. this was at a birthday party in east texas. the demen department writing on facebook, they suspect the officer may have experience on this. the video is going viral. it's 20 minutes before the top of the hour. bad booze kills 19 people in costa rica. it turns out it was tainted with a toxin found in anti-h antifre. could this have any link to the mysterious deaths in the dominican republic. our next guest compares the cases.

heather: welcome back. a national alert issued in costa rica where 19 people have died after drinking alcohol that was tainted with toxic levels of methanol. 30,000 bottles have been confiscated involving several different brands that may be tainted. here to weigh is in dr. parumpul from the nyu school of medicine, associate professor. thank you so much for joining us. what do we know about these latest cases from costa rica and what the alcohol is tainted with? >> well, this product methanol is a type of alcohol. so the one that we drink is called ethanol. that basically makes you feel a little buzzed, little more relaxed. methanol is used in wiper fluid to clean windshields, it's used for solvents. heather: and met thol methanols

been found in this. >> exactly. it is a type of alcohol. most likely this is a manufacturing error, when they were trying to make the ethanol, they accidentally made methanol. this can happen in counterfeit liquors, it can happen by accident, although it's very uncommon. it can happen in cases of poisoning. the times you hear about this is if a toddler gets into some type of solvent. the problem with methanol is that it's so much more dangerous than alcohol. it can make you blind. it can damage your kidneys. you might not even realize this at first and then you can die. even 30 milliliters which is two-thirds of a shot glass, that's enough to cause permanent blindblindness. heatherwe wantblindness. heather: heather: they say the ministry of health continues to carry out operations in order to reduce the exposure of consumers to contaminated products. did i hear you say this could have happened by accident? >> it could happen by accident. i would say for people here,

let's say they're buying alcohol from the store, a major brand, it's not something they have to really worry about. in costa rica, these look like they're more local or regional brands, so maybe they might have had some error in the manufacturing process. heather: obviously everyone's mind goes straight to what's been reported lately in the dominican republic where at least six of the 14 deceased american tourists consumed some type of alcohol while there, a lot of them from the mini bar. do you think this could be related, maybe this would be one of the causes of the deaths there? >> it's possible. one of the other things they're looking at there is a different type of poisoning, so related to something called organophosphates, that's something in pesticides. some people drank from the mini bar. other people had other symptoms that you wouldn't necessarily see with methanol poisoning. it's possible there was an overlap. authorities will have to look to

see are all the deaths related or could it be different things or different clusters with different causes. >> maria: with the methanol in terms of- heather: with the methanol, in terms of symptoms, they can be later, after the fact. >> exactly. let's say you drink too much alcohol you might know within a couple hours that you're really sick. methanol, you might not realize it right away. it can happen days later. it's because the liver is trying to get rid of methanol and converts it into something that's more dangerous. you could have headache, abdominal pain. unless you thought you had some other issue, you might just think you're sick, you're on vacation or you ate something wrong. heather: it's scary stuff, it really is. thank you so much. we appreciate you joining us. have a good day. >> you too. heather: bernie sanders is making the fight for 15 one of his 2020 rally calls. >> because we're going to raise the minimum wage to a living wage. we've got to raise the minimum

wage. raise the minimum wage to a living wage. heather: and the presidential hopeful finally decided to make good and give his staffers a raise. but he has to cut their hours to do it. the critics now calling him a hypocrite. do you want me to go first or do you want to go first, brea?

you can go first. audible reintroduced this whole world to me. so many great stories from amazing people. it makes me want to be better. to be able to connect with the people's stories that i'm listening to. that's inspiration. it's on during my commute, it's on all the time. doing the dishes. working out. while i'm in the car. at bed time. an audible listener is someone that wants to broaden their mind. people who are tired of listening to the radio, or music.

saying she would fight a greet deal for them. -- great deal for them. the trump administration being grilled over this controversial chant at president trump's rally in north carolina. >> send her back! send her back! send her back! heather: chris wallace pressing senior white house policy advisor steven miller on the controversy. >> would you want to have a color blind society, it means you criticize the immigration policy and not have it seen as racial. >> can you also say go back where you came from. >> the president was clear -- >> he let it go on for 13 seconds. he had nothing in his tweet -- >> as an american jew, i am prow foundly outraged by -- profoundly outraged by the comments by ocasio-cortez. those are the comments we need to focus on. heather: the president did disapprove of the chant, saying

he was not happy about it. bernie sanders is paying his campaign staffers the same minimum wage he wants to give all americans, $15 an hour. but that pay raise comes with a huge catch. tracee carrasco from our sister network fox business is here with how he's now cutting hours. good morning, tracee. >> last week, the washington post reported that sanders feels staffers were upset that he's really been pushing the $15 minimum wage an hour all while his staffers are not making that much. sanders did say, though, that his staffers earn roughly $36,000 salary but when you break that down, they do earn about $15 an hour. however, they have to work about 40 hours a week and as we know on the presidential campaign trail, a lot of these staffers are working many more hours than that, surpassing 40 plus hours a week. so that does break down to less than $15 an hour. all of this while sanders

rallied against a lot of big corporations like amazon and walmart, calling them out, saying they pay their workers starvation wages a and he essentially, these employees of his are saying he's doing the same thing. so sanders says we're going to be cutting their hours to make sure they work about 42, 43 hours a week so they can essentially make $15 an hour. he did say i, quote, i am proudo be the first presidential candidate to recognize a union and negotiate a union contract. it not only provides pay of at least $15 an hour, it also provides i think the best health care benefits any employer can provide for our field organizers. heather: apparently he wasn't paying 100% health care for those employees making less than $60,000 and so that was another thing they were asking for. will be interesting to see what he does on that front. let's talk about this. the world's busiest airport is about to ban smoking? >> yes, we're talking about hartsfield-jackson atlanta international airport. they're going to get rid of its dozen or so smoke lounges by

january 2020. this comes after the city of atlanta bans smoking and vaping in bars and restaurants and other enclosed spaces. passengers will be directed to outside the terminals if they want to smoke. this decision is to make sure that the airport and that other places in the city can cut down on secondhand smoke, even though airports do argue that sometimes when you get rid of these lounges, it pushes people to smoke in other areas like restrooms which of course can be a hazard as well. but this is not the first airport to do that. salt lake city, denver, they've also gotten rid of smoking lounge as well. heather: tracee carrasco, live for us. thank you, tracee. the time now is not quite the top of the hour. coming up, a restaurant without a staff, so who takes care of your bill. the bold business model that's banking on customer honesty. ♪ and your smile is a thin 0 sguise. ♪ high rate credit card debt
