students. >> all right, thank you all. that is it for this week's show. thank you to my panel and then all of you watching. i am paul gigot, we hope to see you here next week. >> after a weeks long bliss and i were 2020 democrats are crisscrossing the country. senator cory booker meeting voters in new hampshire just days after president trump rally his own supporters there. hello everyone welcome to "america's news headquarters", i'm arthel neville. eric: i'm eric shawn. several other candidates today and others assuring up support in south carolina. now the pressure is growing on candidates to build momentum for the fall campaign season. meanwhile a fox news poll shows
1:01 pm
elizabeth warren charging ahead of bernie sanders. until recently was seen as the former biggest competitor of joe biden. we are joined now from south carolina. hi peter! reporter: hey, eric. bernie sanders just got to south carolina. he will be dropping by a basketball tournament shortly. on a day that began for him in georgia with big, sustained applause.we talked about canceling student debt. >> were leading the effort to cancel all student debt in this country. [cheering] and where do we not because in the richest country, and history of the world, your generation, should not have a lower standard of living than
1:02 pm
your parents. reporter: the other progressive primary rival pushing for canceling student that is aware elizabeth warren. also on her way to south carolina and she's trying to rally support for her plan to cancel student debt by going into great detail explaining that the progressive platform gets paid for with a wealth tax. >> it is a tax, the first $50 million is free and clear. hope some people relaxed over that. but when you hit your 50 million and first dollar, you have to pitch in two cents. and two cents for every dollar. >> big crowds followed warren instances stay for south carolina but there still some lower polling candidates trying to catch on like amy klobuchar he said she does not blame people who think they're too many candidates running but she a sword south carolinians she's not going anywhere anytime soon. >> exactly so front of all i am in the top groups of making the
1:03 pm
debates and so about 10 of us will be there. and so i think it will get easier for people to make a decision when they see less people. >> she's pulling high enough, just high enough to qualify for the september debate but there are only three democrats polling in double digits in the new fox news poll out yesterday. they are joe biden, elizabeth warren and bernie sanders. eric? >> thank you so much. while a majority of democrats are still struggling to try and break out from the crowded pack the party seeing some optimism according to the new polls. a recent fox news survey shows the top four democrats would beat president trump in head-to-head magic. the former president joe biden, senator sanders, warren and harris. how long will this last? here is dallas jones former district director of texas state senator ellis -- four of
1:04 pm
the democrats would beat the president according to the polls right now. do you think that will last? >> absolutely! >> this is for john. >> actually do not believe that is the case. polling is reflective, not predictive. meaning it tells us where we are today but not necessarily reflect where we will be in november. and look, a campaign come in on the democrats have endured any significant -- >> biggest land all the time by the presidents tweets. >> i'm talking about the multibillion-dollar efforts that donald trump and the republicans are putting together to attack whatever the eventual nominee is. i do not actually think this is much of a concern. the bigger concern if you're looking at the numbers should be joe biden. because if you look at all of these democrats down tickets, they can say that they too,
1:05 pm
hypothetically, can beat donald trump. that is joe biden 's fundamental promise why should vote for him if you are democratic primary. because he's the one that can beat the president. today the polling says otherwise and i would be worried because was just taken away from sleepy joe, there really isn't that much left. eric: dallas? your term. >> i absolutely think it is reflective of where we are right now but also reflective of where we have been. the country has showed great disenchantment. the president's unfavorable approval ratings are at 56 percent. the country is unhappy and they want a passport. the democratic primary and that field of candidates, what we are seeing is that candidates are putting forth a lot of different ideas. elizabeth warren is pumping out different policy positions every week and democratic voters are listening. they're trying to see who the
1:06 pm
candidates and the voice they want to hear is in the crowded field. i think it is something vice president biden should be concerned about. other candidates are looking for different ways and break out of the field. and this is a new poll from fox, this is a sound that is beginning to happen. but it's also a sign that there is problems living for president trump. as every single democrat that was told in this poll was shown to have beat president trump in head-to-head match. eric: john, or dallas you mentioned the unfavorable rating 56 percent favorable only 42 percent. what does a person have to do to get out for being underwater on that? >> was interesting, this is not a popularity contest but number two it is a choice between trump and whoever the democratic nominee is. right now it is head-to-head stack ups again, elizabeth warren has not been lit up over
1:07 pm
the fact with the implications of her policies would be to everyday americans. number one. number two, what this polling does tell us, and another that the team is aware of this, the republicans are absolutely going to have to peel the bark off of whoever the nominee is because i think the president still overall should be optimistic. reporter: and dallas what about when it really just getting to the trenches when the democratic nominee is chosen and has a target on its back from the republicans and certainly the president. >> we have been there. we see that every election where each side goes back and forth at each other. i think what we have three really concerned with is the overall feeling of the country in terms of where we stand. not only here at home but in opposition and the rest of the world for the stability of the
1:08 pm
rest of the world. we look incidents of what happened in terms of the president and banning members of congress from visiting israel and what it means for diplomacy. at the republicans are quick to talk about the economy and believe that the economy will simply carry them through this election. and i think people are worried about a little bit more than that. yes, certainly, they care about their pocketbook but they also want to know that our country is in a place that is moving forward. it is some of the most divisive times we've seen in the country in decades. eric: the israelis made a decision and then they backtracked or as a deals with representative rashida tlaib. finally though, for both of you.i will start with you, john. doesn't get down to the electoral college? because again we are to point were wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania, they could decide theb all of this discussion will get down to just a handful
1:09 pm
of states. >> the stricter the national polls are interesting to look for trendlines. versus elizabeth warren has consistently been getting but you're right. whether it's democratic primary or november election, it comes up to florida, wisconsin, michigan, ohio. polling that just came out this week in wisconsin shows that they are tied. these are states that are concerned primarily about the economy. you look at trump's economic numbers overall, voters come over 50 percent think that he deserves credit for a good economy. this is what it will come down to. the trump campaign is running in a superior effort to what they did in 2016. it is fully data-driven.they know exactly what they are doing. i have every confidence that given the underlying economic numbers that it is good for the administration. he will prevail, especially when he liked to pour the democratic nominee is on their
1:10 pm
economic policy. eric: dallas, last word. as i said it gets down to the electoral college no matter how many votes to get across the country. >> well, yes and i agree. that is what we soar four years ago and is what we will see in 2020. it will come down to the few states. it will condense what message resonates from each side, sure! these are states are heavily driven by the economy. i think we are all heavily driven by the economy but i think that as we begin to pick this apart, the democrats are also going to have a lot to work with in terms of what they will throw it president trump. at the crucial sit back and get ready for a very good show as you move into the next election. eric: sit back, get ready we will put teflon on and helmets. >> the same charges from 2016 it did not work then, it will not work now. >> four more years of new ones!
1:11 pm
eric: gentlemen, thank you. arthel: changes flaring up once again between president trump and two outspoken congresswomen after the israeli government decided to bar representative rashida tlaib and ilhan omar from entering the country over their support of the boycott israel movement. then israel offered rashida tlaib a humanitarian trip to visit her grandmother who lives in the west bank. the congresswomen refuse the officeoffer in the presence of shamanic humanitarian request to visit her grandmother and
1:12 pm
said she'd agreed not to promote any boycott against israel during the visit. but once israel granted her request she changed her mind and decided not to make the trip. tlaib is not explained the reversal beset in a statement quote - visiting my grandmother under these oppressive conditions meant to humiliate me would break my grandmothers heart, silencing the treatment to make me feel less than. it is not what she wants repaired it will kill a piece of me always stands up against racism and injustice. the israeli minister says i approved her request as a goodwill basis but it was a provocative request, obviously her hate for israel overpowers her love for her grandmother. and after strongly criticizing her for allegedly agreeing not to promote boy cuts of israel if she was allowed to his
1:13 pm
grandmother. the family in the west bank is backing her decision not to come as well. >> a did not mean rashida for a long time, she did not come but her mother used to visit us. they did not allow her to come. we are with rashida and her decision we considered the right decision. reporter: this not likely the last will see the back-and-forth because it is entirely possible that congresswomen tlaib and ilhan omar might try again to visit the region. at this point we are not aware of any plans for them to do that. arthel: thank you. meanwhile house speaker nancy pelosi is firing back and calling out both president trump and israeli prime minister netanyahu. who ms. pelosi told the associate press but we have a deep relationship and long-standing relationship with israel that can withstand donald trump and benjamin netanyahu. we cannot let their weaknesses stand in the way of our ongoing relationship. the question is now, will this
1:14 pm
issue divide the democratic party. caitlin, what is a reaction on the presidents role in whether u.s. elected lawmakers can visit an allied nation? >> first, this is unprecedented. for u.s. president to have a hand in congress just his political rivals. kind of a hand in visiting an ally. so the situation is very unique, is very new territory first of all. and i think that this is problematic not just politically, it is tougher democrats, it is dividing the party but also, if we pull back and look at this from a political point of view, the u.s. and israel have had a very mutually beneficial relationship for a long time. it has been enjoyed bipartisan support and so making israel a
1:15 pm
partisan issue, could end up backfiring down the road. arthel: how so? >> i think it is the democrats take if they control for example, israel like us, they are our allies and first of all we rely on them as an ally in the middle east. they rely on our support in a lot of ways and so you know if it is threatened, we just do not know would look like down the line when republican is not in control and if the relationship is strained in the future. arthel: meanwhile the speaker is calling -- a sheila and her stance or do both sides of the aisle have a problem with the actions of mr. trump and benjamin netanyahu? >> there has been bipartisan criticism. like i said israel is a u.s. ally and you're saying this on both sides say that we should
1:16 pm
go together visiting israel should not be a partisan thing. and these two women should not be banned. there has been voices on both sides condemning the decision. arthel: i want to show it will tweet now by an american israel public affairs committee on congresswomen rashida tlaib and ilhan omar being barred. they say we disagree with the support of anti-israel, anti-peace movement along with representative tlaib's call for a one state solution. we also believe every member of congress should be able to visit and experience our democratic allies in israel firsthand. who will bear the brunt of the political backlash? is it the presidents party or is it democrats. >> i think republicans are hoping or at least the president is hoping that by casting these members of
1:17 pm
congress as kind of the face of the democratic party that they can draw jewish voters to vote republicans to say this is your home and the party that supports you. obviously, it's a difficult message for democrats. there are some very strong pro-israel democrats but it is difficult when it is their own colleagues that are being in this decision. i think that this has created a really sticky situation but like i said, you know that could be consequences down the line for the unjust political who is winning and tit-for-tat in all of this. >> i'm sorry in all this the speaker is saying listen, there is no way that any of this will break the bond between the u.s. and israel. so does is to give the democrats an opportunity to express support of and follow ã solidarity with israel refuting the opposite or will it somehow backfire?
1:18 pm
>> i think it can go either way. depending who we're talking about think it can go both ways. they nancy pelosi is trying to make a statement as we just saw and as you are saying that democrats do stand with israel that no matter what this temporary flareup is, that democrats are our allies with israel. but i think this can be damaging in some peoples minds in terms of how they view the democratic party. arthel: all right, well -- the volleying back and forth will continue. thank you for your reporting on this, caitlin owens from axios. >> we are very concerned that president trump his talk about tariffs and back-and-forth wit china , that he is going to accelerate us into a recession. and of course look, no president is a major recession. but the, the president has made and his lack of understanding about the way markets work in the economy works should concern each and every one of us. arthel: that was democratic
1:19 pm
congressman marc veasey. this is the president says talks between beijing and washington have been productive. and that both sides will meet again in september. this as he also downplays the fears of the global recession amid the turmoil that we witness is passive. kevin corke covering the president near his bedminster estate golf club. reporter: always good to be with you! the r word, recession. the question is, are they warranted? just as many people feel that the economy will be fine as there are those out there that feel like now is the time to tighten the purse strings. and a wild week on wall street. absolutely does not help. especially for those that are jittery limitations the numbers from last week. you remember down on monday, up tuesday, down wednesday, up thursday and friday. using the dow was up one half percent the nasdaq down .8 percent and the s&p down 100
1:20 pm
all have fallen three consecutive weeks.while the u.s. economy continues to show incredible resilience, the trade and tariff with china have rattled not just beijing but other moral ãother global markets. the presence it is high time that -- >> we labeled china for the first time ever a currency manipulator. another promise kept. while others allow china to freely -- $500 billion a year. not million, not million, billion! with a b! we have made it clear that the theft of american jobs and american wealth is over. reporter: tariffs will continue.

2:08 pm
nationwide leases necessary -- based on limited record before us we do not believe in nationwide injunction is justified. the acting customs and border chief says this order will pave the way for the fulfillment of a top-tier priority. >> in those states, texas and mexico where we can institute is not will be a game changer. it will allow us to absolutely institute and initiative now that we truly believe will help stem the flow of illegal immigration. reporter: for months, the white house has been dealing with this. california officials say the reality though is the trump administration does not like foreigners or immigrants. >> this weapon is nutrition, healthcare and housing. it acts like a ticking time bomb.

republican majority to win sanctuary cities. stop human traffickers, stop drugs smugglers and adopt an immigration system that puts the needs of american workers and families first. [cheers and applause] eric: that is president trump course in new hampshire on thursday making his case for a hard-line push in an immigration.
2:16 pm
this is california has now joined three other states in taking legal action and a bit to block the new public charge rule. that policy was the government to deny a recourse to legal immigrants who belong in safety net programs like software. the ministration defender the policy and did so earlier today. this is ken cuccinelli. >> ordinary legal immigration we continue to expect that immigrants who want to join us permanently and ultimately, many perhaps become citizens, that they will be self-sufficient, they will be able to stand on their own two feet and this will be one factor.and only one factor considered by career immigration services officers in deciding whether people get green cards. eric: for this a political reporter for the associated press. alexandra, welcome. the ministration says they're trying to change us because they want self-sufficient citizens. self-sufficient immigrants
2:17 pm
before you become citizens. are they on track or as critics say, they are wrong. >> probably this would create a more merit-based immigration system which is what the president has repeatedly said he's looking for. but when you look at the details, what this could end up doing is favoring migrants from more wealthy and typically more white countries over those from sort of nonwhite minority countries. a number of studies have been done that have found that previous drafts of this will to be released would disproportionately affect migrants from latin american countries, asian countries, eric: thus because they may not have the means? >> exactly. not only would it result in extreme decline in overall legal immigration because it would be tougher for number of immigrants to meet this tougher requirements. it would also shift sort of the makeup of the migrant population we see in the us. eric: people call this racist. beto o'rourke says this, the statue of liberty only applies to white people.
2:18 pm
but here is what was said about why they are moving toward this. >> the mueller report did not work for the left. that was where they put all their morals and so on to the next thing. we'll say the president is a racist in every policy is such. it is kind of hard to say that when we are implanting a 140-year-old nutrition in the united states and the weight was implanted before was more consistent. it was not that overarching guidance that provides a consistency that is a critical element of fairness here. eric: the administration was say they try to ensure the economic viability of success of these people versus others who may not in our system. >> will have some evidence of how this would work. political obtained data suggesting dhs has a public charge designation to deter mark migrants and we've seen in recent years. and the data that they have
2:19 pm
obtained showed disproportionately affected migrants are mexico, haiti, dominican republic, other nonwhite nations. regardless of the -- it seems in practice even before this stricter rule had been released, the testing and public charge test did put disproportionately affect nonwhite countries. eric: they seem to be pretty economic focus on this. for example the savior on public assistance for more than a year, it would be a strike against you and they are doing credit checks. >> it could back fire by forcing markets for public aid and onto charities or even sort of emergency aid programs like emergency healthcare. which could end up costing the government more in the long run. so it is hard to say how this would end up sort of affecting the u.s. economy in the long run. there is also obviously a number of legal challenges to go through before implementing this. we probably will not have a sense of how could remake the nation but in the meantime as
2:20 pm
you mentioned, is become a political fight. already beto o'rourke is out there. eric: and what on the legal front? >> the legal front is hard to say. we make the argument that appointments making this it's is violating the constitution by disproportionately affecting migrants from nonwhite countries because there's evidence of how it would play out but in order to win the case, they have to prove the trump administration intended to discriminate against nonwhite migrants. and that is a tough one. they are though pointing to president trump's own words, his comments about not wanting migrants from certain countries to come to the u.s. and evidence that these policy are racially motivated. eric: the dhs statistics are the largest number of immigrants below the poverty line come from mexico, central america and africa.
2:21 pm
the lowest as you point out, europe, canada and asia.and the main major law that really changes the face of immigration in 1965 was the immigration and nationality act. and here's what they said about that. since 1965 more than half latin american and one quarter asian, larger share of today's immigrant population. 11.6 million is from mexico. together with india and the philippines, china, vietnam, el salvador, cuba, south korea, dominican republic and guatemala, these countries account for nearly 60 percent of the current immigrant population. the ministration says we want merit-based. as you say, this could be an answer toward what happened in 1965 when northern european immigration that we all saw back dating back to the ellis island, that basically, comparatively plummeted. >> yes and we can see that shift towards sort of a case where we again, favor some of the more european and canadian comic countries like that,
2:22 pm
majority white countries. and disfavor some of the nonwhite countries. it could really create a complete shift in the makeup of the nation as we know it. but again, for now and this role goes to a number of legal challenges, i think the biggest and there will be a political one. democratic presidential contenders will use this to reinvigorate a conversation around immigration. and again, accused donald trump on the campaign trail but this is been a motivator for the trump basis is a positive issue for him in another piece where he can say i'm delivering on what i promise. which is, to lower immigration and make sure that those immigrants are coming to the u.s. are really contributing to society.eric: and their productive and not sponging off of the public i guess. you'll be here a lot because you're based in des moines. right now usually washington so it will be on the campaign trial.
2:23 pm
alexandra jaffe, thank you. >> thank you. arthel: the president wrapping up his feud with two progressive democratic congresswomen. this after rashida tlaib of detroit rejected an israeli offer that would have allowed her to make the humanitarian trip to visit with her grandmother. he lives in the west bank. israel reverted the earlier decision to block her from entering the country. however, farrell, sven ilhan omar of minnesota is still barred from entry. garrett tenney is live in washington with more on this. reporter: congresswomen rashida tlaib has received a lot of criticism this week for her handling of this on-again, off-again trip to israel. palestinian activists were not happy when israeli officials said that tlaib said she would not promote boycotts against israel and she was allowed to visit her 90-year-old grandmother lives in the west bank. but when israeli officials granted the request, she said she decided not to make the trip. they released a statement criticizing the term she is allegedly agreed to just hours before saying quote - the
2:24 pm
israeli government used my a loving desire to see my grandmother to silence me amid my ability to do so contingent upon my signing a letter. reflecting just how undemocratic and afraid they are of the truth, my truth would reveal about what's happening in the state of israel and palestinians living under occupation with united states support. israel's interior minister responded by questioning her sincerity tweeting israel approved the request upon a gesture of goodwill on a mentoring basis but just a provocative request. aimed at bashing the state of israel. apparently, her hate for israel overcomes her love for her grandmother. president trump piled on his wall. saying, is it was very respectful and nice to rashida tlaib, allow her permission to visit her grandmother. as soon as she was granted permission, to visit her grandmother, i apologize, she loudly proclaimed she would not visit israel. could this possibly have been a set up?
2:25 pm
israel acted appropriately. top democrats who the previous criticized some of tlaib's anti-israel rhetoric are coming to his support. including house speaker nancy pelosi who called israel's decision to block the visit, a sign of weakness and desperation from both prime minister benjamin netanyahu and president trump who are both facing reelections. >> we have a deep relationship a long-standing relationship with israel. that can withstand donald trump and benjamin netanyahu. we cannot let their weaknesses stand in the way of our ongoing relationships. members will make their own decisions about this. i would not discourage -- reporter: it is also important
2:26 pm
to know the number of republicans are criticizing israel's handling of this trip including senator marco rubio who said it was a mistake to prevent congresswomen rashida tlaib and ilhan omar for making the trip because being blocked is what they really hoped for all along. arthel: garrett, thank you. now some very sad news from our extended fox news family and personal family friend. we're learning longtime fox eight reporter and anchor, nancy parker, was one of two people killed in a small plane crash yesterday. parker was covering a story in a plane when the aircraft crashed near the lakefront airport, killing her and the pilot, franklin augustus. the cause is under investigation. a five-time emmy award-winning journalist, nancy parker worked at fox eight for 23 years. the mayor of new orleans praising nancy's dedication saying quote - she told it to us straight with a combination of professionalism, intelligence, warmth and grace. we may never experience again. nancy parker is survived by her husband, parents and three children. she was 53 years old.

2:31 pm
short time of the dozens of people were killed and wounded. in an explosion that occurred in the capitol city of kabul. blessed ripping through the dubai city wedding hall while hundreds of people were thought to be inside for celebration. so far there been no claims of responsibility. it marks an end to the week of common afghan capital. we'll keep you updated as we learn more. arthel: president trump meeting with his top national security advisor to review a u.s. taliban peace plan that could and the longest-running work at the two sides have been discussing this where the u.s. withdraws troops from afghanistan and returns for the taliban promising to ensure the country does not become a safe haven for terrorists. critics argue it is still too risky to pull out our troops. lesbian doctor washington to national security expert with
2:32 pm
mit security studies program. we'll get to that story eric just reported on in a moment. first i want to talk about the plan as we know it. a phase that withdrawal initially withdrawing 9000 troops out of about 15,000 four two years or less on the taliban word that they would disclaim international terrorism. first, can you trust the taliban to cut ties with or control al qaeda and isis? what stops the taliban from pulling those terror groups into the taliban were providing them a safe haven in a formidable nightmare for the u.s.? >> those are good arguments, arthel. and i agree. generally the taliban has a track record that suggested cannot be trusted. i guess relatives of the taliban will focus on its own objectives first. and his objective is to take control of afghanistan. i think it is less interested in sort of international terrorism and the last time
2:33 pm
they did this almost 20 years ago, they were in power and then forced out of power. i think there's a chance they would abide by some of the conditions. one of those being a counterterrorism condition that says you cannot play footsie with terrorists. i think there's a shutter might be abided by. i think other parts they are not going to follow and you know i feel, i am in favor of us getting out of the war. and the president has made it a political priority. he says essentially, we will be up by the election. he is going for that. i think we cannot stay there forever. but it will be a difficult process of disentangling ourselves.in the taliban cannot be trusted so on both of those scores you're absolutely right. arthel: i have a statement from lindsey graham said court president trump or learn from president obama is mistakes. any peace agreement which denies the rest of robust
2:34 pm
counterterrorism capability, and afghanistan, is not a peace deal. meanwhile back to the story that we reported just a short time ago, eric told us about it, the explosion at a wedding hall in kabul killing dozens of civilians. no word on who is behind that attack. but still, just 10 days of the taliban forces detonated a car bomb in the same area. so is this the right time to be talking to a u.s. taliban peace plan? >> you put your finger on it a lot of important things here. the taliban is stronger than it was, there been more civilians if you measure that by territory that it they control the increase to control. there is been more civilian deaths, really than any time during the whole war. they've announced their plans to kill civilians and if they tried to leave election where they go to election rallies. that is where the biggest problem with current discussions. i cannot imagine signing an agreement even for partial withdrawal unless we have a
2:35 pm
cease-fire. we cannot on the one hand i mean what message does ascend to the afghans? we're going to withdraw 40 percent of the troops whatever it is, at the same time that all the civilians are being killed. so of all of the things of all, in another are many critics about the idea. i do not think we can stay forever. i don't think you know it makes, we been there almost 20 years and i think we can carry out a counterterrorism issue file without staying another 20 or 50 years. what i would say to some critics is how long are we going to stay? tell me what that looks like? and they are never able to answer. i'm comfortable with the idea of sending an agreement with a group actively bombing some civilians at a time where we are bringing down troops. after suit the details but it doesn't look like this is moving forward, that's what the meeting in new jersey was about when the u.s. preventative came back, negotiations at an impasse he comes back he asks for instructions and it seems
2:36 pm
as if it is moving forward. arthel: here's a caveat that the taliban saying that the u.s. has to commit to troop withdrawal. before they can start negotiations with afghan government over the taliban political fixture there. meanwhile, as you already said president obama was not able to end the war in afghanistan if president trump pull this off, jim, how long would we have to wait to assess the aftermath to know that it was indeed a successful move? >> you measure success by identifying objectives and saying how close you have come to them and at what cost. and i think his objective is to bring the troops home. he can accomplish that. the problem will be, i do not worry about afghanistan being a center of terrorism in the future. there are plenty of nominees for that right now. a lot has changed in 20 years. there is no lack of those places. i don't expect to see that but
2:37 pm
i think the taliban will seek to take the country by force, defeat the government forces and then the afghan civilian population. they are the ones who will suffer most of the cost. in particular, women, girls, religious minorities, people who work with the u.s. when the u.s. was here. for nearly 2 decades, it can get really really ugly. and how you define success depends on what your objectives are. that's what i would say. arthel: that's a lot. jim walsh, doctor walsh, we have to leave it there. we will talk to you again about this subject, thank you. >> thank you. lawyers for jeffrey epstein are bowing to conduct their own investigation after the chief medical examiner determined that the cause of death inside of his prison cell was suicide by hanging. this comes a sources tell fox news that jail staffers are not cooperating with the justice department's investigation of
2:38 pm
what happened. jacqui heinrich joins us now with more on was developing. reporter: hi eric. the house judiciary committee is also looking for answers. top of mind is the credibility of the bureau prisons. another prisoner epstein god was dealing with staff shortages. in the hours before his death, one guard was on staff at minute 10 working overtime peered one of them forced to work the shift involuntarily. the new york times also reporting investigators are looking into whether two guards assigned to his wing might have fallen asleep on duty and whether cell check logs may have been falsified.right now there are at least five probes into his death including by the doj fbi and congress. still, a former bureau of prisons employee says even if they followed particle it might have prevented his suicide. >> suicide can happen in a matter of minutes. the assumption is he would still be alive and i am same proper 30 minute checks would not a prevented that death.
2:39 pm
reporter: me 10 epstein lawyers are demanded to see any available surveillance video around his cell leading up to his dad saying, they're not satisfied with the medical examiner's findings. they ruled epstein that of suicide by hanging. but the "washington post" and new york times reported epstein broke multiple bones in his neck, including the hyoid bone. which can break in hangings but more commonly broken by strangulation. because the autopsy reports are not public record in new york, the public may never know if the physical exam or the crime scene evidence led to the determination which came five days after the autopsy was completed. house judiciary committee member andy biggs on computer alive this morning. >> this is a situation that is right for conspiracy theory. to go wild on. we want to find out the judiciary committee, all the procedures, all of the protocols, whether they will follow, why this, why mr. epstein was left alone. reporter: civil suits against

[inaudible] eric: that is president trump of course on tuesday explain why he softened his stance and some tariffs per se in the u.s. is in a much better position to negotiate than china. this of course comes amid reports that nine major economies around the world are either in recession or close to entering one. this past week you saw the headlines screaming but worries that we could enter a
2:45 pm
recession.we will get set in a second. we are joined now, price waterhouse coopers, good to see you. >> thank you. eric: the president was going to put tariffs into effect on 1 november. does he give him breathing room now in terms of negotiations with beijing? >> i think the strength of our economy relative to the strength of the chinese economy is important negotiations. having our economy so dad because he opposed the tariffs are probably the consumer and hit them in the prime shopping time, was the reason why i think he knew it would not help with our economy start to slow down so much deferred and maybe it's kicking the can down the road but lusty for it. eric: what happens after he kick the can down the road? >> you can cook it for the prospect clearly are trying to negotiate something and those tariffs would not only her also would hurt them. bilateral trade between domestic and china is down 14 percent. the pain of this trade were is being felt really on both side
2:46 pm
