9:00 am
>> the supreme court giving president trump's plans to build a wall, a victory. a ruling that the administration can use 2.5 billion in defense funding for the project. a lot of folks talking about this on saturday here in washington. welcome to america's news headquarters from washington, i'm leland vittert. boy, it's good to have you here. is this normally your bedtime? >> yes, not on saturday. i try-- it's good to be with you here. the supreme court overturning
9:01 am
decisions in courts rulings. and with some saying the battle is far from over. garrett. >> we've not heard of last of the fight. which is one of ballots over the president's border walls, no doubt about it, this ruling is a win for the president, the 5-4 decision isn't the final word on the merits of the case, but does allow the administration to tap into about two and a half billion dollars from the pentagon's budget toward a hundred miles of border as it's through the courts. after the president trump, wow, big win for border security and the rule of law. the trump administration argues this additional wall a largely needed to stop the flow of drugs across the border. democrats argue a vast majority are through the ports of entry and not the areas where the wall might be built, however, today
9:02 am
former acting ice director tom holman says he has no doubt the additional wall will make a difference. >> everywhere there's a border, there's decreased human and drug flow. and i think it will be dod and dhs to contract miles of new border wall in strategic locations across the southwest border. >> the a.c.l.u., one of the groups fighting the trump administration is making it clear this is not over staying in a statement that border communities, the environment and our constitution, separation of powers will be permanently harmed should trump get away from pillaging funds for the border wall that congress denies. and they ask the federal appeals to expedite the process to try to get a final ruling before the administration starts construction on the wall. that construction does not appear to be imminent. the administration has not announced where they're going to be building the wall and the
9:03 am
contracts still have to be awarded. a lot of things. >> more to come for sure, garrett, thank you. >> the fight continues on that for sure. congress, meantime, is on their august recess. otherwise known as a vacation for the next 46 days. but over that time, the democrats and the house judiciary committee want access to material related to robert mueller's investigation. and never taking a rest, hey, mark. >> and the august recess, before lawmakers left town the focus was on president trump and the possibility of an impeachment inquiry. robert mueller's testimony left them split whether they should go ahead or now. some are in favor of impeachment inquiry. we heard from the chairman of the house judiciary committee,
9:04 am
they're demanding redacted information to make the best decision moving forward. in our committee is going to recommend articles of impeachment to the house we must make the strongest possible case both to our colleagues and the american public. >> house speaker nancy pelosi was asked about the timing of a potential inquiry and she address the that. >> i'm willing to take whatever heat there is there to say, when-- the decision will be made in a timely fashion and this isn't endless and when we have the best strongest possible case and that's not endless either. >> presidential advisor kellyanne conway spoke to reporters outside the west wing, when it comes to impeachment the polls nor the public show much support for the idea. >> there's no public appetite for that. there may be an appetite among
9:05 am
the fringe. there may be an appetite among some of the more left wing safe districts, democrats on capitol hill. there wasn't an appetite. there isn't look like there was an appetite from bob mueller himself. >> when they return to washington, leland, get this september 9th. >> something tells me we'll probably hear from a few congressmen between now and then. >> and how the president is reacting to talk of an impeachment, we turn to david spunt in washington. >> he's at his golf club after a busy week. as mark said, the house members are gone until the first week in september. and then they'll be back. watching the mueller hearings on capitol hill, the president says he was victorious after this week and the president held an i am promptu session, and for what
9:06 am
the white house calls legitimate aasylum seekers as they can use military money for the wall. democrats say he's stealing money. the president was up on twitter ranting about elijah cummings who is a vocal opponent of the president's handling of this. the border is clean, efficient, well run, just very crowded. and the district is a rat, rodent infested mess. if he spent more time in baltimore maybe he could help clean up this dangerous and filthy place. why is so much money sent to the elijah cummings district when it's considered the worst run in the united states. no human being would want to live there. where is this money is going and stolen, investigate this immediately. >> congressman cummings got on twitter and wrote partially it
9:07 am
is my constitutionally duty to conduct oversight of the executive branch, but it's my moral duty to fight for my constituents. ji jillian, it's not clear how the president wants to investigate congressman cummings district and no proof that it's the worst run, but he's a thorn in the side of the president when it comes to the mueller hearings, the possible relationship with russia, that's something that has incensed the president. here he is talking about that yesterday in the oval office. >> i watched mueller for two and a half years we've watched this, and that's the best they have and it's a disgrace. and the world is laughing at him. >> again, congress comes back september 9th. the august recess, a lot can happen between now and september 9th. back to you. >> that's right, a lot can happen between now and the next five minutes.
9:08 am
thank you very much. leland. >> on a saturday in d.c. the number of lawmakers calling to open an impeachment i am quirery is now up to 101. of that group 9 is are from solid democratic seats according to the political report. joining us now a congressman who flipped a seat in 2018. you're taking your first day of vacation to be with us. >> thank you. i don't know if it's a total vacation, the perception a different than the reality. >> it sounds good. >> it's a good way to talk to your folks. >> forgive us if we don't feel bad for you. >> i work hard. >> you do and we appreciate you being with us. national polls universally say that the american people do not support impeachment. do you worry if the democratic caucus keeps beating the impeachment drum, it puts the majority in seats like yours at risk?
9:09 am
>> sure. that's a possibility, and it's not that i get up every day and i worry about that. what i truly worry about is what we're doing in government. so i want to see that we're actually getting productive results, that we're getting work done and i'm a big believer in bipartisanship. it's a mark of everything i've done in my political career. so would i like to see a brand new immigration policy that we worked a deal out with the republicans and democrats-- >> you would talk issues rather than policy? >> i do. >> somebody who doesn't want to talk about that is rob reiner, the named child actor and then director, you were on with yesterday and said almost the same thing. this is what he said and we'll get you to react. take a listen. >> i couldn't disagree more with the congressman. i would make the case that it would be great politics for the democrats to stand up and hold this guy accountable. sorry to lose your seat, but-- >> you don't look amused there.
9:10 am
>> that's fine, that's what america is, but everybody can have their opinion, but my sense is when i go back in the district, that people really want to see us doing other things, this overwhelms. >> first it was okay, we've got a report and when that report comes out. we'll find out what's going on. when the report comes ouchlt certainly distasteful parts of it. >> when you look at fellow democrats that we need to get things done, especially some of the freshmen as far left as you can go within our own caucus and you say i need to got things done, not focus on impeachment, what's their response? >> tbig thing about our freshme
9:11 am
are blue dogs and-- >> they say hey, this is a breach of our democracy and constitution, and we need to go forward. >> do you feel that it's a belief or they hate president trump and blinded by how much they dislike his policies, they'll hang onto anything to impeach him? >> i can't question anybody's beliefs, what impeachment is not. it's not a tool to be used because you have a dislike for a president? >> do you think there are people who do this? >> there may be and i don't know, i'm not going to judge them. i'm going to say in a statement, other than going to war and a few actions, the united states of america can take, impeachment is one of the most powerful and most important and something that shouldn't be used in any minor way. because in a sense you're disenfranchising the voters. you're saying this person, we're going to take this person out of
9:12 am
office. the question politically, that's not going to happen because whatever happens it's going to be a failed impeachment process. >> and do you think it's going to be a failed impeachment process? >> it's not going through the senate. >> does that help president trump in 2020? >> yes, you can't go into an election, okay, we've done a few things and responsible for and spent a huge amount of time and money on a failed impeachment process. i have one codicil. if something new and terrible comes out that we don't know about, and that has not happened and it did not happen at the testimony. i think almost less happened during the testimony than just reading-- and i read the document from first page to last page. so, i don't know exactly what the end goal is and why do we keep-- if this was so important, what we're doing now, why didn't we do it before? >> i want to get your thoughts just in terms of where other folks in your caucus are. here is sheila jackson lee
9:13 am
talking about why she disagrees with you. >>. >> thought the entire time of mr. mueller's time in front of the house judiciary committee, he had elements of crime, he was not in any way short-changing his answers that crimes had been committed. he said yes to the three elements of obstruction. he said yes that one element of obstruction could result in jail time. >> how do you watch the mueller hearings and read the report and she does have such vastly different views of this? >> because there's a lot of complexity to this and like inning this life. there are many interpretations to it. and many experts who intensity dislike trump, the president, feel that as well. whether a crime is actually committed or intent to commit a yiem are two different things.
9:14 am
and the oush. >> do you think your more reasoned approach is going to lose or do you think you guys-- the blue dogs are going to be able to hold this back? >> i think the reasoned approach is going to be victorious. in politics, a month is ten years sometimes. >> why he, especially in this news cycle. >> i will say this, in my opinion, if we have a failed impeachment process it's going to be a very difficult election to win. >> all right, congressman, appreciate you being here. appreciate you being in the district. not necessarily all on vacation. >> thank you. >> marines from the oldest marine corps division arrested on suspicion of human trafficking-- two other marines apprehended earlier this month. >> if they are in fact found
9:15 am
guilty of those crimes they will be held appropriately accountable for that. those investigations were ongoing and they identified the 16 marines as potentially being connected with those particular allegations or charges for the first two marines. >> joining us to discuss is acting bore dor patrol and-- how did this happen? >> there was an apprehension made earlier in the month by border patrol and those two defendants were also marines so this is what happens when you don't have a secure border. this is the fuel that drives the engine of illegal activities. these smugglers are able to corrupt the culture in mexico and in our country and a couple of marines fell prey to the dollars.
9:16 am
>> you said this is as a result of not having a secure border. there are two sides to be argued this in this. the critics are going to say the protection that we've sent to the border, it's stepped up and the lucrativeness of the cartels? >> it's in our interest to have flowing at the border. free flowing is bad for the mexican kull, bad for our culture and the situation. this case is an example of that. >> what are the dangers when you look at the fact that these are marines that are here to serve our country and shall involved in this. what are the dangers at that we as americans are facing? >> they chose money over the oath they took as soldiers. >> they were in a unique situation. they were corrupt by the cartels and smuggling organizations. we have to be careful and
9:17 am
vigilant in situations like this. >> obviously, because we've spoke spoken especially after last week. and what can we do today? what are the first steps that need to be done. >> we need to secure the border and the biggest problem that the loopholes in the law that entice people to bring their children to the border. to secure that border you're going to need to have an immigration system that has integrity. you're essentially in for a short time and released. that encourages other people to do the same thing. we need to close that down and give dhs the tools to secure the border and that's one of the most important ones. >> and then billions of dollars that the cartels seem to be raking in as a result of this. >> that's right. credible smuggling fee between 4 and $10,000, that's billions of
9:18 am
dollars this year that they're making. >> let's talk about the ice raids the last two weeks. migrants were targeted and how did that go down? >> it's important for the system to have integrity. the professionals and agents at ice planned these operations, they're not really raids. they know who they're going after. it's not a surprise. these were people going through the immigration proceedings ordered by a judge to be removed and time for enforcement to close the loop and find them and send them back. >> i want to look at the fox news poll that shows ice from voters. 45% approve of the job that ice is doing and 49% disapprove. when you look at the number, first of all, how disappointing is that? and how do you change the minds of the 49% who disapprove. >> it's disappointing, men and women are protecting us each and every day and took an oath to
9:19 am
provide the laws on the books. they're vilified by the media and they've sworn an oath to uphold the law and should not be vilified by doing it. >> and another poll by party. out of democrats 16% approve of the job ice are doing. 80% disapprove. i don't think you're surprised by the statistics. what does it tell you where we are in the country right now and what we need to do going into 2020? as you know, we've seen it in so many polls lately, the american people care about immigration. >> congress needs to acts. they need to close the gaps and the frame work and bring integrity back to the immigration system and telling people that they don't like ice or they want to apologize, that's not necessary. the legislators need to get the tools it needs to secure the border. >> thank you for joining us. >> thanks. >> leland. >> immigration is a big issue on the 2020 campaign trail and 2020

leland. leland: a summer saturday and the democratic candidates are out ahead of the weekends debate. it shows the former vice taking 49%, ahead the president if it was today. and joining us is michael, on a podcast whatever platform you desire around the world. ten points, that's not a good sign. >> i heard the president wasn't too happy about that poll. leland: we have the president's response, i think, we'll put it up. we put it up. here is the president's response. we're waiting for it. all right. fair to say he wasn't happy, here it is. the polls have always been terrible to me. they had me losing big to crooked hillary. have me down to sleepy joe and even considering-- he goes on to list his
9:34 am
accomplishments. down by 10 with the economy as good as it is, it's not great. >> i just don't buy it. a month or two ago, showed that head to head, cory booker was beating donald trump. if you think that cory booker is going to beat trump, i've got a bridge to sell you. i think he'll win 27 states. he's got the economy, if that falters, that's trouble and he's got i mmigratioimmigration. this was a central issue of his campaign. he got great news on two fronts. 2016 was about judges and immigration and he got a judgment from the judges he appointed, and a 5-4 decision. he can build that wall-- >> and it didn't bode well that the headline that not one mile has been built. >> president trump fulfilled a lot of campaign promises, but this was a central issue. if he couldn't build one inch of wall before 2020. if he doesn't have a path
9:35 am
forward, i think that's going to weaken some support for him. former, it looks as they we may get 100 miles maybe not the nearer future, but there's a path forward. leland: you don't think it matters who he's running against is what i'm getting for you. >> of all the candidates, which one is actually going to beat him. you can have a poll, joe biden wins 80% of the vote. do we think that joe biden if he manages to get his walker out and get along the campaign trail-- >> in fairness to biden look where he stands now almost double bernie sanders and we have our own polling in terms of where we are. and everyone says that kamala harris, her attack is going to knock him off. that hasn't happened. >> we're early in. we have 11 debates and she had had a good stand at him. >> and obama wasn't early on and
9:36 am
i think that tells you-- >> is there a reason for caution among republicans and trump supporters? this time four years ago everyone was saying donald trump is too crazy i, too far right, too bombastic, annoys too many people. never elected president and he was number one in the polls, and he came out on top. >> one thing you learn, especially in the age of trump, is never say never because-- i'm not saying he doesn't have any vulnerabilities, but he has somehow like a wizard made his opponents oppose all the things that american cherish. there was the poll that came out from gallup that immigration is the number one for americans and the third most trusted-- you have democrats running on open borders, against the american flag, that's not a good look for middle america. leland: whoever it is, they're
9:37 am
branned as socialist and open border. and the debate cards for tuesday and wednesday night in detroit. anything stand out to you in this? as we look at tuesday night? >> well, what you're seeing, the candidates to watch obviously are elizabeth warren and kamala harris. elizabeth warren has done a pretty good job of slowly and steadily coming up. leland: she's got a plan for everything. >> she's got a plan for everything and happens to be bernie sanders's plan because he transformed that party. i think she's the one to watch. she's crafty and appeals to the progressive wing-- >> this the debate for elizabeth warren the way it was kamala harris? >> it's up to elizabeth warren. leland: if we put up the screen for the second debate night, you might call it the main card. you've got booker there, kamala harris and biden there. if he coppings out swinging,
9:38 am
does your opinion change? >> biden has some stability. i think the one to watch here is cory booker. the question if the situation had been reversed and booker were the one on stage at the last debate last time, could he have gotten the racial slug in at joe biden that kamala harris-- >> he basically did, he basically called him a racist. >> can he do it to his face? it may be do or die for cory booker, he's languishing at the bottom of the polls. and offered to shave his head for charity. >> with boris johnson as the new british prime minister. will the relationship between the u.s. and britain be better? the british ambassador to the

9:43 am
prime minister. he has what it takes. they're needed him for a long time. u.k. needed him for a long time. jilian: and that was the president talking about boris johnson taking over as new prime minister. johnson is promising, quote, a new golden age for the united kingdom and to take britain out of the european union by october 31st. joining us now is british deputy ambassador to the u.s., michael, thank you for being here. >> thank you. jilian: you heard that quote, new golden age for the u.k. if your mind what does it look like? >> i think that prime minister johnson has sort of hit the ground running as prime minister. in his early statement he set some bold, ambitious objectives both on domestic policy where he's committing particularly more police officers onto the streets to increasing funding for people for education. the other key priority that prime minister johnson said is on brexit and there he's being emphatic that the u.k. will leave the european union on the 31st of october.
9:44 am
he will work very hard so that we leave with an agreement reached with the european union, but if that's not possible by the 31st of october then we will leave in any event. and i think once we've left the european union, as prime minister, he will be very keen that we realize as quickly as possible the benefits that will flow from that. jilian: i know you don't have a crystal ball, but let's for a second pretend you do. what does november 1st look like there? >> november the 1st looks like the u.k. having left the european union. at this point we get into crystal ball territory. one scenario we will leave having negotiated with eu the terms of our withdrawal. the other scenario, a more difficult one, would be leaving without the withdrawal agreement and with no deal, but in those circumstances, a great deal of preparation has already been done in the u.k.
9:45 am
that was put in place as we approached earlier dead lines this year, and over the next few weeks and months, a great deal more preparation will be done so at that if that's the scenario, we will be in a good position to deal with it. >> wouldn't it be nice to have a crystal ball though? >> it would make our life so much more easier. >> talk about the relationship between boris johnson and president trump? >> they've known each other well and they were in contact and talking to each other shortly before the prime minister's appointment and shortly after from the public statements and each made, it's clear that they know each other, they like each other and they've got a lot of mutual respect and affection and i think that positions the u.k. and the u.s. really well. we already have a great baseline partnership. >> right, so does this take it up a notch, do you think? >> i think it's great potential to further that partnership. when you're working, you want
9:46 am
more than anything else, your head of government has a great relationship with that part of the country in which you're working. that's clearly the situation we have now and as an embassy, i think we're excited about the opportunities that that's going to give us in the period ahead. >> both countries, obviously, have an interest in what's going on with iran. where do you see that headed now that boris johnson is in place? >> when you say iran, there's a lot to unpack there. there's the immediate and dangerous situation around shipping and the strait of hormuz and the issue of preventing iran from acquiring nuclear capability and there's a broader issue of iran's destabilizing behavior in the region. i think we will be focusing on all of those fronts and when we do that we will be consulting closely with the u.s. i think we share the same goals with the u.s. in some areas we

differ. the nuclear dossier is the key one and we believe that the best route is through the gcpoa and the u.s. differs from that and withdrawn from the agreement. so we have that difference, but in overall terms we're focused on the policy challenges posed by iran. we are working very closely with the u.s. on that and i'm confident that that will continue under the new government. >> okay, thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you very much. >> appreciate that insight. leland. leland: great interview. now down south to puerto rico where thousands are on the streets. not in protest, but celebrating the governor's resignation there. bryan llenas on the streets with them. hi, brian. >> hi, leland. well, one governor is out and now there are calls for the governor and waiting to resign. all of that and people are worried they won't get the disaster aid funding they need two years after hurricane maria.

>> welcome back, thousands of demonstrators are taking to the streets of hong kong today. marking the eighth week of protests in the chinese territory. they're making demands, including direct elections and breaking up the current legislature and an investigation into police brutality. and the demonstrations first began in response to a now suspended bill that would have allowed hong kong residents to face trial in mainland china. leland: the chinese are talking about things military. there is a lot of uncertainty in puerto rico today. the island's governor stepped down and nobody really knows what's going to happen next or who is going to be in charge. bryan llenas on the ground there and in an island still very much
9:52 am
in trouble. hi, bryan. >> hi, leland. that's a fact. the people here in puerto rico are the ones suffering from corruption and mismanagement. look, getting governor ricardo rossello out of office was a big win for the locals. they say there's much to be done. i'm in puerto rico, there are still blue tarps on people's homes two years after hurricane maria and now, because of all of this chaos and all the allegations of corruption and mismanagement in the government, fema announcing effective immediately the u.s. territory must receive approval from fema to draw down all grant funds for hurricanes erma and maria. they'll need more documentation and proof to show where the aid money is going which is going to slow down the recovery process for the people. the puerto rico governor says that even though there hasn't been proof of stealing disaster aid funds, it doesn't matter. >> it is enough for people to be
9:53 am
concerned that those funds will not go in the right direction, and there's, you know, again, it's tens of billions of dollars that will be invested in the next few years and people demand accountability, demand the funds be used properly and demand full transparency as well. >> meanwhile, already feeling the heat, puerto rico's governor in waiting, secretary of justice, wanda vasquez, who says she didn't fully investigate the diversion of supply aid trucks meant for victims of hurricane maria. and the lawyers are investigating whether or not they're going to open up an investigation into her. look, there have been protests and celebrations. the last big one was on thursday, celebrating that rossello is out. people say that's not enough. saying we need to clean house from all corrupt officials. who is going to be in power? we don't know after august 2nd. it could be wanda vasquez and
9:54 am
then somebody else could be appointed. bottom line you've got calls from the senator of florida, rick scott, as well as gonzalez, the resident in puerto rico asking for president trump to create a commission to see where the disaster aid money is going because of allegations of corruption and mismanagement. the people here are suffering because of their governor. leland: so many lost there in that corruption in governor you talked about. bryan, thanks. jillian. jilian: let's go to florida. they're known for alligators. but the endangered american crocodiles are thriving, particularly on the grounds of a nuclear power plant. phil keating has more. >> i'll release them, right, and off they go. >> american crocodiles are crawling back from the brink of extinction and thriving at of all places, the nuclear power
9:55 am
plants. they were listed and threatened and thanks to the power and light crock team. and during hatching season the crock team hops up the air boat, they're looking for nests and rescuing hatchlings. >> they've found nests and taken the cracks back. >> then measure their width and girth and track them through their lives. >> they're not radioactive. that's the question we get. >> they're released back into the wild and 25% of this calls the nuclear crock tile sanctuary home, perfect for them thanks to the canals, berms and minimal human encounters since it's a high security.
9:56 am
and this is an old nest, and adult females lay 30 to 40 eggs, but most don't survive due to birds and predators. >> and watching for them to hatch and collecting the babies and releasing them into the wild. >> from there the cute baby crocks, cute for not, are ready for the world. in homestead, florida, phil keating, fox news. leland: there's a major victory for president trump's border wall. what it could mean for the 2020 race when we come back. lent. they really appreciate the military family and it really shows. with all that usaa offers why go with anybody else? we know their rates are good, we know that they're always going to take care of us. it was an instant savings and i should have changed a long time ago. it was funny because when we would call another insurance company, hey would say "oh we can't beat usaa"

10:01 am
fight. >> this 5-4 ruling allows the administration to move ahead with plans while the case works its way through the courts. the president is now able to access $2.5 billion from the military's budget and put it towards an extra 100 miles of war or barrier along the southern border. president trump reacted to the ruling on twitter saying, wow, big victory on the wall, it allows southern border wall to proceed, a big win for border security and the rule of law. the aclu is challenging the administration, plans to keep the fight alive, saying in a statement this is not over. we will be asking the federal court to expedite the ongoing appeals proceeding to halt the damage from trump's border wall. this is one of the many lawsuits seeking to block the state of emergency declaration made earlier this year to access billions of additional dollars for a border wall after congress refused to give that funding to
10:02 am
the president. and that of course prompted the longest government shutdown in history. democratic leaders are taking issue with the latest ruling. senate minority leader chuck schumer called it deeply regrettable and nonsenseical, adding it's a sad day when the president is cheering this decision. nancy pelosi tweeted this evening's supreme court ruling allowing donald trump to steal military funds to spend on a wasteful, ineffective border wall rejected by congress is deeply flawed. there is still a lot that can happen over the next few months. while the aclu tries to expedite the appeals process, the administration has until september to sign contracts for the wall construction. otherwise the $2.5 billion goes back to congress. they didn't give it to him the first time. good luck getting it the next time around. leland: i think they may having to say about that. michael moles was saying how
10:03 am
much this may help the president with hisunning out the clock on impeachment as house judiciary chairman jerry nadler says his committee has in effect already been conducting an i'm peer mucimpeachment inquiry on e president. >> reporter: house democrats have a decision to make, whether to proceed wit with an impeachmt inquiry or wait for the 2020 election. house speaker nancy pelosi was asked about the possibility of an inquiry and if she's under any pressure to take one up soon. >> i respect where they are on it with their -- the breadth of knowledge that they have of on the subject and i respect where i am on it with the breadth of knowledge that i have on the subject. >> reporter: house judiciary committee chairman jerry nadler says the committee is seeking
10:04 am
information related to the mueller probe. they're suing to get the redacted grand jury information. nadler says the committee is simply doing its job. >> if our committee is going to recommend art kells of impeachment to the house, we must make the strongest possible case to the colleagues and the american public. >> reporter: house republicans say enough is enough. they're calling on house democrats to move past the russia probe and impeachment. >> that should be put to bed. that is over. we watched it. we heard it. we've read it. what more can they make up? the only people that want impeachment are the ones who are sitting inside this chamber on the democratic side. the american public have made their decision, poll after poll you see it. >> reporter: investigations into the administration appear to have no end in sight. this week the house oversight committee voted to authorize a subpoena for all work related texts and e-mails sent by white house officials on their personal accounts. jim jordan says democrats are,
10:05 am
quote, desperate to get the president. jillian: this is certainly far from over. mark, thank you for joining us. now, we go to florida congressman and member of the house judiciary committee, greg stuby. thank you for being here. this is something that you know that this wasn't going to end after we heard from mueller. that's certainly one thing i think we can agree on. when you heard from nadler, talking about possible impeachment, what did you make of that? >> well, it's not going to end until the democrats are in -- aren't in control of the chamber anymore. currently there's 23 investigation was various committees going on right now, investigating the president or the campaign or the white house. they're going to continue to do it because they don't want to talk to the american people about their things that they're big on like the green new deal or medicare for all. they're going to continue this investigation. they're going to continue this talk of impeachment for as long as they can possibly keep the narrative going. >.jillian: a lot of people wonder, this talk of
10:06 am
impeachment, how this will play ought for democrats in 2020. in our last hour, leland interview new jersey representative jeff van drew who is a democrat. he had something to say about impeachment. listen to this. >> impeachment is one of the most powerful and most important and something that shouldn't be used in any minor way. whatever happens, it's going to be a failed impeachment process, in my opinion, if we have a failed impeachment process it's going to be very difficult election to win. jillian: the democrats, you're hearing those words that it will be a failed impeachment process. >> i think he's right. i think it's going to be very difficult for those democrats that are in more moderate districts or districts that trump won to be able to vote for some type of impeachment proceeding. what will you impeach him on? mueller testified that there is no evidence of collusion or conspiracy between the trump campaign and russia. they didn't charge for on instruction. he could have made a recommendation as relates to obstruction. he didn't.
10:07 am
ag barr didn't charge for obstruction. what are you going to move impeachment proceeding on? >> you mentioned mueller testifying earlier this week. you were there. you questioned him. you pressed him about russia's election interference. what did you make of his response to you? i think his response to a lot of republicans was it's not within my purview. i don't know how your investigation of russian meddling in the american elections isn't within your purview to let us know, did it change any single voter's decision of who they were going to vote for. and was it all based on this steele dossier which was the basis of some of my questions. the american people want to know how did this all start and how did we get to where we are today and i'm happy that ag barr will do an investigation on this and hopefully we will find how all of this started and if there were things going on that violated the law, verifying documents that weren't verified in the fisa court, i hope people are brought to justice. jillian: do you think we're in
10:08 am
a better place today as far as election interference than we were in 2016. >> i think we are. trump's in the white house. we have a national security team looking at this. the russian meddling occurred during the obama administration, not during trump's presidency. i think with the administration we have now, they are focused on this and looking at things that could be coming from foreign agents and foreign governments into the american election process. jillian: your overall impression of robert mueller's testimony, so side many sides ae arguing who came out the winner. who do you think benefited the most? >> i think the president did. he made point ver the point ver. they didn't charge for obstruction. the democrats can argue all day long about what they think is or is not obstruction. mueller didn't recommend any charge of obstruction which he could have under the rules of
10:09 am
the special counsel's report. and ag barr and rod rosenstein decide it not to charge. i think the president wins after that testimony. jillian: you heard from the beginning robert mueller saying he didn't want to testify, saying his report spoke for himself. you after the fact have had some democrats coming out saying maybe this hasn't been the best thing to put him up there like that. >> i think you saw a lot of news reports after the hearing that the democrats thought this was a disaster. and if they were trying to get something more out of mueller that wasn't in the report or that they were thinking there would be new information, then it absolutely was a disaster. all he did was confirm what the president has been saying for the last two years and what we know to be the facts. >> do you think it changed anyone's mind when it comes to voters. i don't think it changed anybody's mind thinking they need to impeach the president. i think it solidified a lot of americans' opinions, the fact that there's nothing there, nothing that the trump campaign
10:10 am
did, conspiring with russia to change the outcome of telex. i think american voters are sick and tired of investigations of the president. there are things they want us focused on in washington and not investigating the president. jillian: congressman, thank you for joining us. >> thanks for having me. leland: out of those hearings this week, the president firing off several tweets this morning, pointed at house oversight chairman elijah cummings slamming the conditions in his district. david spunt on the north lawn of the white house, tying this together for us. >> reporter: the president using fiery language when talking about baltimore, the district where elijah cummings lives, works and represents. president trump taking to twitter earlier this morning. he says as proven last week during a congressional tour, the border is clean, efficient and well-run. just very crowded.
10:11 am
cummings' district is a disgust, rat and rodent infested mess. if he spent more time in baltimore, maybe he could clean up this dangerous and filthy place. i want to read something congressman cummings responded. he wrote, quote, it's my constitutional duty to conduct oversight of the congressional branch but it's my moral duty to fight for my constituents. the president focusing on more talks between the united states and china. the talks will resume this week. the trump administration announced a $16 billion, with a b, aid package for farmers affected by the tariffs. payments range from $15 to $150 per acre depending on the farm size and location and the effect of the trade war's impact in that specific area of the united states. president trump and the oval office yesterday said while he has a good relationship with chinese president xi-jinping, he's not totally optimistic that the upcoming talks will yield any real results. listen. >> i think that china will
10:12 am
probably say let's wait. it's 14, 15 months until the election. let's see if one of these people that give the united states away, let's see if one of them could possibly get elected. >> reporter: speaking of tariffs, how about on france? it's possible, according to president trump. france announced this week they're adding a 3% digital tax on american technology companies like facebook and amazon. president trump was livid yesterday and said he would consider retaliateing. >> they didn't do the right thing, when they start taxing our companies. we tax our companies. they don't tax our companies. >> reporter: the g-7 summit is in france at the end of august. president trump and french president emmanuel macron will both be there. you can bet this will be top of mind for both men. back to you. leland: for macron, for sure, in terms of what he's dealing with ins france. thanks so much. keep an eye on the president's twitter account the rest of the day. a big part of the president's election campaign centers on the economy. he talked about how good it is
10:13 am
and how much better it will get if he gets a second term. former white house staff economist, council of economic advisors for the george w bush administration, beth acres joining us now. always appreciate it. looks like the president's going to get his wish this week, quarter point drop in the fed rate. for a president who keeps saying the economy is so good, give me another term, that's got be a big gift. >> yeah, definitely. so whether or not this rate cut is really needed is a bit up for debate right now. we saw jerome powell come and testify before congress and express concerns about where we're headed, which indicated to a lot of people that the rate cut is on the horizon. he cited softening in the global economy as the potential concern for domestic growth and also the uncertainty regarding trait policy and its effect on domestic business investment. the president would like to see the cuts. i think it would be good for him politically. critics are saying do we need this cut.
10:14 am
why now? we've seen strong economic growth, new gdp numbers that came out on friday indicated that -- leland: there's cognitive disdense where the president says the economy is great, near record unemployment, plus or minus 10 basis points, which is true. and then he says but i need a rate cut, rate cut, rate cut, rate cut. those don't really add up to an argument economically. >> i think obviously it's politically advantageous for a president to have really strong growth under his administration. earlier this month, we had really strong labor market numbers come out. he was cited as saying he wants to see a rate cut so he can get the economy to take off like a rocket ship. and yeah, it's really important to remember that the mission of the fed is absolutely not to get the economy to take off like a rocket ship. they're aiming for stability. they're aiming for -- leland: rocket ships go up and they come back down, especially
10:15 am
when you turn the engines off. fox news polling the condition of the economy as we take a look at how they respond. 51% of americans say it is excellent or good compared to 47% may 2019. the numbers flip in say the past two months. may was a little more uncertain than right now. >> you know, i think the uncertainty that we're seeing today is a lot of the conversations that are stemming from trade policy, actually. we're continuing to see near record low unemployment rates. last time we saw this we had neil armstrong walking on the moon. that's pretty remarkable. i think the uncertainty and changes we've seen in the recent months are stemming what's happening in trade policy. leland: speaking of that, the president's supporters will tell you, look, he's got to take on china, talks are coming up next week. it's worth being tough on china. and as he's focused on that, he then says this about the french.
10:16 am
take a listen. we'll get your reaction. >> they didn't do the right thing. when the start taxing our companies -- we tax our companies, they don't tax our companies. so france did that. i told them, i said don't do it because if you do it i've got to tax your wine, tariff or tax, call it whatever you want. leland: all right. for all of us french mine fans, that's somewhat -- french wine fans, that's somewhat bad news. in an economy, in a market that wants certainty, this president is not their friend on that. >> that's right. we're going to see markets for sure respond to any new information about tariffs like these. but i think this is a long run game. the stock market's ficklest. le. the president has a strategy for longer run growth. he's willing to pay the price in terms of shorter run disruption. leland: how serious does the market take each one of the president's tweets and demands
10:17 am
for a rate cut, et cetera, especially at the beginning of his administration every tweet you could sort of peg to a different change in the dow, especially during trading hours. now it seems as though there's been a divergence. >> yeah. so the funny thing about the stock market is that it doesn't respond to positive or negative news in a positive or negative way. what it responds to are things that are surprising. i think we've all come to be sort of used to the president tweeting on these sort of things and so to the extent that it's not coming as a surprise to investors, they've probably already baked that sort of thing into their strategy. so when the president comes out and surprises us with something, i think that's when we're going to see some sort of impact. leland: it's happened before. we'll wait to see when it happens again. beth, thank you so much. enjoy salt lake city. we'll talk to you soon. >> thanks so much. jillian: now to this. two teenage american tourists accused of the brutal murder of an italian cop. what we're learning about the

leland: live pictures out of russia on a saturday night where more than 630 people have been detained during a protest in moscow. you can see it's already saturday evening there. evidently, the government there doesn't really like it when demonstrators speak out against the exclusion of several opposition candidates from the ballot for this september's moscow city election. then the police came in and arrested everybody. jillian: now this, italian police say one of the two 19-year-old american tourists allegedly involved in the fatal
10:22 am
stabbing of an italian policeman has confessed. kitty logan is reporting from the london bureau. what's the latest? >> reporter: we're hearing two american citizens are being formally held in custody while the murder case is further investigated. what we saw today was one of the suspects was driven away in a convoy of police vehicles from a rome police station, that happened earlier today after a detention hearing. italian media claims that one of the suspects, thought to be 19 years old, has confessed to the murder. i must add that those reports are not officially confirmed. a lawyer for one of the accused says his client refused to answer questions during today's hearing. now, this suspect is allegedly accused of fatally stabbing an italian policeman who was supposedly trying to arrest people stealing a bag from a passerby on friday morning after
10:23 am
a drug deal apparently went wrong. now, a second officer was injured in this incident. it happened in an area popular with tourists. the suspects, al or the suspect, was apparently identified on surveillance cameras and according to some of the reports we're hearing, a knife was allegedly discovered in a hotel room that the students were occupying. now, police murders are very rare in italy. this killing has shocked the country. we're seeing many floral tributes to that murdered policeman. the investigation is continuing of course while the suspects remain in detention. it is understood that these two suspects apparently have tickets back to california today. of course, that return home is being delayed. we understand that from the court proceedings in italy that the suspects can be held in custody for up to three days before charges are made. jillian. jillian: still a lot of questions. kitty, keep us updated.
10:24 am
thank you. lelanda.leland: a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit by nicholas sandman and his family. they sued the washington post over its reporting of his viral exchange with a native american elder in washington back in february. the family says the post falsely labeled the teen as a racist after this picture and the ensuing video went public. the judge said the paper's characterization is protected by the first amendment. sandman's family say they plan to appeal this. separate lawsuits have been filed against cnn and nbc, they are still pending. we've seen this before now as the libel laws are starting to at least be challenged in a different way than they ever have before. jillian: absolutely. we'll continue to follow the fallout of this and follow that process, if and when it happens. now to this, a live look at new hampshire where 2020 hopeful elizabeth warren is holding a house party campaign event. more on the other candidates that are hitting the road today,

see a contrast between the candidates. i think you're going to see from all of the candidates what they plan to do for america and how this contrasts with the president. this president ran on the promise to make prescription drugs affordable, lower the national debt. on those we have not seen results from the white house. jillian: you look at the top candidates, joe biden, kamala harris, eyes will be on certain people, bernie sanders, elizabeth warren. blake, i'm curious from you, who is the underdog, who do you think is the one that comes out here, almost a marianne williamson moment, if you will. >> i think there's a couple of people. one cathere will be a lot of atn on julian castro, a lot of people will be looking at mayor pete, based on the extraordinary fund raising number, does he
10:33 am
have the debate moment and is there a moderate in the race who can contrast themselves in the bernie sanders, elizabeth warren debate, so i would look for a moderate, whether that's potentially montana governor steve bullock, whether that's senator amy klobuchar, how does the messaging come out of that debate. so i think there are a quite a few candidates. i agree with everything that was said earlier -- who have a real opportunity to shine mere. jillian: a lot of people want to hear the messaging about policies. a lot of people don't want to hear the bashing of each other, the bashing of the president. a lot of people are at this point in time saying some of the democratic party are so far socialist, if you will, and then have you the moderate democrats. a lot of people are saying, look, what is the democratic party at this point. so what messaging do you think is important that these candidates get across? >> i think what's important for these candidates to get across
10:34 am
in this debate and i think what you'll see them do, all 20 of them, they'll have a conversation about kitchen table issues. we're not a socialist party. we're a party that's for working families. whether it's joe biden, cory booker, whether it's kamala harris or l elizabeth warren, they'll be talking about what's happening in dining rooms across the country, talking about what's happening in senior citizen homes where they're cutting pills in half and how we ensure that's no longer a reality. i think that's what you'll see from all the candidates. as far as the standouts here, the people to watch will be juli a an cass trough an trough and r -- castro and the candidate will be cory booker. jillian: who is at do or die? who is that candidate? >> do or die, i'm not entirely sure it would fall on the die said. i think there's an enormous amount of pressure on joe biden, just a really difficult first
10:35 am
debate performance. he's got kamala harris and cory booker who have been aiming at him since that debate. i think biden has got to demonstrate both strength and resolve in an appropriate way. i think he has to lay out his vision for the country and he has to rebut the attack from his opponents without getting into too much mud slinging or name calling. the criticism is is he tough enough to take on president trump, he's got a lot to prove in the second debate. jillian: richard, in the last debate we saw what went down with joe biden and kamala harris and we saw the swings that she took at him, if you will, just to call it that. but a lot of people want to see a more direct, a more assertive, a stronger joe biden. is that the joe biden that we see this time around? >> i think it's what we're going
10:36 am
to have to see this time around. he took a dip in polls after the first debate. for him to keep the african american support, he's going to have to come out as a street fighter in this debate. he's going to have to defend his record and years of public service but beyond that, he's going to have to hit back. he's going to have to hit back against other people, hitting at them and their records of public service. i think it will be interesting to see joe biden on the stage a second time. from folks who i talked to on the campaign, the vice president watched the video of the debate. he knows that he has a big hurdle to jump. i think he's more than capable of jumping it. we'll see if he does that. i think it's important that all the candidates not beat up on each other and they have a conversation with the american people about where they all agree and how their policies are different than the current white house's policies. jillian: blake, just about five seconds. do we see that stronger joe biden this time around? >> i think you have to. otherwise, his campaign's in real trouble. jillian: blake, richard, thank you. >> good to see you.
10:37 am
>> thank you. leland: one of the things we heard about during the last debates and we're certain to hear about in this one is how these democratic presidential hopefuls look to take on president trump in 2020. new fox polling showing how voters think the economy would do under a second trump presidency. pretty interesting. 33% of voters say they think economic conditions will get better if trump is reelected, 39% say it's going to get worse, 26% say it will stay the same. another fox poll has voters sounding off on capitalism and socialism. 34% of all voter saying a shift towards socialism, get this works be a good thing. 53% of democratic primary voters say they think shift would be a good thing. tells you a lot about where the democratic party is right now as they try to look for a candidate. jillian: yes, it does. a that is for sure. leland: all right. iran is releasing nine of the 12 crew members aboard an pan mainan flagged ship sized
10:38 am
earlier this month -- seized earlier this month while continuing to hold a british flag tanker and its entire crew. someone who knows a lot about that region, about what the brits need to do to get their people back.
10:39 am

10:41 am
leland: live pictures from new hampshire, elizabeth warren holding a house party campaign event. jillian said this type of house party perhaps is a little different than the house parties she went to in college. same idea. you hear house party, she's ready to go. elizabeth warren one of just several presidential candidates who is getting ready for the next round of democratic debates in detroit next week. now, warren is on the stage tuesday night. the other headliner on tuesday night, bernie sanders. they're neck in neck in the polls, battling for that wing of the democratic party. we'll listen to what war warrens
10:42 am
to say, if she has anything different from what she usually says, we'll get back to you. jillian: a commemoration ceremony marking the 66th anniversary of the signing of the korean war ar arm s'sstice . this comes two days after north korea fired missiles. leland: the associated press saying president trump's maximum pressure campaign against iran is at a quote, crossroads. in the past few days, the iranians fired a medium rage ballistic missile. they still hold a british oil tanker and tensions continue to rise. is the ap right, that we're at a
10:43 am
crossroads with iran? >> i think what we're seeing is a series of tit-for-tat stats where both sides have taken he'n measures and both sides have taken steps to try to reduce tensions. on the one hand we've seen drone attacks, the attacks on tankers, the seizure of the british tanker. we've also seen in recent days mike pompeo's statement that he'd be willing to go to tehran. leland: does zarif speak for the irgc? >> he doesn't speak for the irgc. but he speaks for the government. there's tension between the hard linharders and -- leland: the hard liners seem to be winning right now as they take over tankers and shoot down drones. >> there's talks of resuming talks with the administration. there's a game being played by
10:44 am
both sides to try to meet or moderate and control the confrontation. leland: do you think the iranians are trying to play us, though? >> well, i think there is a possibility. again, there's probably also tension within the regime in tehran, about how to handle the situation. leland: what do you make -- you spent three years in yemen, which is where the iranian proxy war is taking place. you have the gulf of aiden there. you have the entrance to the sue easy canal there -- suez canal there. how much longer can this go on before the u.s. has to start deutschdrawing military lines? >> in the red sea. we have a presence in the red sea. we do everything we can to try to interdict. there have been incidents in the past where the hoothies fired surface missiles. leland: as you take a list of
10:45 am
the bell theactions that have b, why are the iranians so emboldened? >> i think i would say the hoothies are not a proxy for iran. they have their own agenda which they have been pursuing for many years. iranians see advantage in working with them because it puts pressure on saudi arabia, particularly a threat to the saudi border. it also as you said potentially threatens th a critical shipping lane that goes through the red sea. so the iranians are doing well by being able to use and exploit their relationship with the hoothies and put the saudis in particular in a very difficult situation. leland: here is what the british charge to affairs, they don't have an ambassador to the united states but they have a charge to affairs, this is what
10:46 am
he says about the british prime minister and the president working together on iran. >> i think we share the same broad strategic goals with the u.s. in some areas we differ. the nuclear dossier is the key one where we believe the best route is through the jcpoa. the u.s. differs on that one and has withdrawn. leland: it's noteworthy that on the side of him talking, that other video was the iranians taking over a british flagged oil tanker and yet there has been absolutely not a word from the brits. give us our tanker back or the iranian fleet is going to be on the bottom of the persian gulf. there's been no real threats made. this is not margaret watcher and ronald reagan. >> well, it's a particularly difficult time in london. we're in the middle -- they were in the middle of a transition from the may government to the johnson government. leland: boris johnson didn't come out and say -- this was not all of a sudden churchill taking
10:47 am
over from chamberlain. >> i suspect the british would like to see a negotiated resolution of this. they're holding an iranian oil tanker. the iranians took a british tanker in retaliation. there's probably going to be discussion back and forth between the two sides. leland: is that the right message to send? >> i think that given where the british are and their capabilities and their capacity, probably it is. leland: the royal navy is not what it used to be. >> certainly not in the gulf. leland: ambassador, appreciate your time. thank you for your time. jillian: new developments in the manhunt for two canadian teenagers accused of killing three people. where the pair was last seen, still to come.

themes of far right politics in nazi germany. police have not confirmed those details with us. jillian: jackie live in new york with the lat latest. thank you very much. a few days ago one of the alleged suspect's fathers came out during an interview and say he expected his son to be dead within a day or two and they're still on the run at this point. leland: you have to imagine for a father to be confronted with all of those emotions, to come out and say i think my son will be dead in a day or two, and we have a map of where this crime spree and escape route has gone and i've spent some time in that part of canada. jillian: you have. leland: it is hard to explain hodesolate it is a and the numbr of places you could find. these kids are interest in the military and survival skills and they've been trained for a long time. it's summer in canada. it's warm. it's easy to find food and spend

time in the woods. this could go on for a very, very long time. jillian: the tree canopy very thick there so police have been using drones but it's hard to be able to see them from above. leland: it's hard to imagine from the u.s. how big that area is. all right. so check this out. jillian: this is so weird. leland: this is weird. we have to tell you about it. hordes of grasshoppers are crowding the vegas strip. of all the hazards in vegas, gross hoppers are not what you think of. maybe they're interested in poker, slot machines. we'll check in on the grasshoppers when we come back.
