>> suicide bomber kills dozens at a packed wedding reception in kabul. the deadliest attack in the afghan capital this year. the taliban denying responsibility. a local isis affiliate claiming it was behind the carnage. as president trump continues to work on a plan to pull troops out of the country. hello, welcome to "america's news headquarters." i'm arthel neville. eric: thank you for joining you i'm eric shawn. it was celebration that turned into horrific slaughter last night in kabul. 162 people killed, 182 injured as president trump returns to the white house after meeting this week with his top national

security advisors and cabinet officials over potential peace talks with the taliban a resulting deal could lead to final exit of our troops in the country and end to america's longest running war. this morning republican senator lindsey graham talked about on "sunday morning futures" leaving that could resume repeated attacks on the homeland. >> we can't leave afghanistan without counterterrorism force or intel capability to protect us a against a 9/11 because al qaeda and is isis is live in afghanistan. reporter: isis claiming responsibility for that attack. a few hours ago the group posting a propaganda photo of the man they claim was perpetrator. terrorism experts say this move has become a signature for the terrorist group who use aftermath of attacks to spread

hate far and wide across the internet. one guest at the wedding overnight where the attack unfolded described the scene. take a listen. >> translator: around 1200 guests were invited to the wedding. i was with the groom in the other room when we heard the blast. then i couldn't find everyone. everyone was laying all around the hall. reporter: president trump convened a meeting with the national security team this weekend to figure out whether cutting a deal with the afghan taliban in exchange for withdrawing u.s. troops from the country makes strategic sense. afghan's president is making the case the taliban isn't to be trusted. the taliban can't absolve themselves of responsibility because they provide a platform for terrorists. even some of president trump's strongest supporters in the senate are opposed to a idea of a drawdown. senator lindsey graham tweeted, to trust the taliban to control al qaeda, isis, other radical

islamist groups present in afghanistan as replacement for u.s. counterterrorism force would be a bigger mistake than obama's iran nuclear deal. military brass who support withdrawing from afghanistan make the case that u.s. troops on the ground have been reduced to serving as a glorified police force. they say after 18 years of war, it is time for the u.s. to pull the plug. arthel. arthel: gillian turner, thank you very much. eric: gun control groups across the country staging rallies across the nation. aimed at pressuring congress to pass new gun control legislation. after the recent strings of deadly mass associates in el paso, texas, dayton, ohio, and gilroy, california. lead many to ask if there will be legislation to address all this. christina coleman has more on the developments live in los angeles. reporter: hi, eric, police say the shooters killed 34 people in the mass shootings.

gun control groups are holding nationwide demonstrations to curb america's gun violence. organizers are demanding that congress take action when they reconvene. after this took to the steps of san francisco city hall, demanding change yesterday, rallies will also take place in philadelphia, columbus, ohio, and omaha, nebraska today. supporters want congress to pass a strong federal red flag law and pass universal background checks. >> i don't want to have any other family have to deal with that pain and it is something that is completely preventable and we need our leaders in washington to do their job to pass this legislation. >> every day i send my child to school and in the back of my mind i'm wondering whether or not he is going to come home safely. that is unacceptable. reporter: the rallies are part of a ramped up effort to enact gun control measures. according to "politico" these

groups are spending $55,000 on digital ads to target senate majority leader mitch mcconnell and other gop lawmakers. the president of every town for gun safety releasing a statement, we're unleashing a full power of the grass roots movement and leading most aggressive august spending effort ever to insure that the senate gets the message. the gun control groups are reportedly spending another 385,000 on tv ads, national cable ads, targeting gop lawmakers, mitch mcconnell, florida senator marco rubio and ohio senator rob portman. eric? eric: christina, thank you very much. arthel: gun control is picking up steam on capitol hill as lawmakers on both sides of the aisle agree something must be done. after the latest mass shootings, west virginia democratic senator senator joe manchin on "sunday morning futures" says he is ready to work with the gop to get something own the

president's desk. >> the's in a unique position to help make america safe again. we need to make america safe again. people have to have confidence they can go out with their friends and family and be safe. we have to start. background checks is the absolute building block we start with it. arthel: phil wegmann, white house reporter for real clear politics. president trump is meeting with a bipartisan group of senators, including one who is big on gun control and two senator hose wrote a failed bill on background checks, senator joe manchin with maria this morning. has the time come that we will see bipartisan sunsport for gun control. >> if this was the moment for gun control in the trump era this might be it. republicans and democrat you mentioned have a legislative appetite for getting something done. you see ivanka trump is talking

with members of congress what the legislative appetite is and how far things could go. the national rifle association, they are in a bit of turmoil because of their own leadership troubles f there is opportunity, this might be it, the last obstacle to increase gun control is also the biggest. that is senate majority leader mitch mcconnell who has been staunchly pro-life his entire career and whether or not something gets done is really going to come down a lot of ways to whether or not he can be forced to act. arthel: would you think with the troubles there inside of the nra, that relieves the president of some of the political pressure that has been on him? >> i think that it relieves it to a certain degree. we know the nra is very active in the past not just in this administration, but in administrations past, when it comes to the topic. this is their bread and butter. president trump is remarkably consistent he never crosses his own base. that is why i think the

"fox news poll" from earlier this week is so interesting. according to that poll, 89% of republicans who were surveyed were in favor of some sort of gun control be it back ground checks. another 93% of households who had guns also agreed. so those are exactly the type of numbers that president trump is going to be looking at. the white house is doing polling on the issue, with the general election around the corner, this is the sort of calculus they are considering as they move forward. arthel: a few weeks ago, phillip on the campaign trail, president trump is pulling back on gun control and starting to sell the notion, guns are not the problem, people who use the guns are not the problem. so where does the president really stand on this issue? >> that's a question a lot of people are asking also on capitol hill, because president trump has a history, when it comes to guns that has evolved. president trump asked for expanded background checks. he also threatened to veto a

background check bill this last february. now he seems to be on board with doing something more, something similar has happened with his stance when it comes to assault weapons. it seems that there is an appetite right now for doing something that his own base would accept. but if democrats push too far. i think they could miss their window. arthel: how would they push too far? >> if it wasn't just a background check. also looking for an assault weapons ban right now -- arthel: but you have, phillip, you have people now, regular americans, there are major outcry as you said for the president and congress to do something. in that partly is people are tired of seeing these weapons that are used in war zones on the streets of our country. >> yeah, i think that the optics, sort of tragedies that we are going through becoming routine, when you have, you know, congressman and governors and president of the united states who have gone through these tragedies again and again.

sometimes becoming routine, to lower the flag, to half-mast after these shootings. the public is getting tired. the question is how far is the public going to push in order for you know these politicians to perhaps do something that they normally wouldn't? when there is a sort of frustration and anger with inaction, i think you can see some of these politicians, you know, we see even republicans say that, you know, they want to get something done. arthel: so the president, more than anything, naturally wants to keep his job. so, i'm wondering if we're going to float both sides of the coin throughout, leading up until november 3rd, 2020, to see what is sticking if you will? >> right. there is a long time between now and the election. i think closer that we get to next november it becomes much more difficult for congress to move something significant. so, right now, i think that before. you know the end of the year,

this is the hope that something actually will move. we already saw majority leader mitch mcconnell say, that this would be front and center when the senate got back into town. i think before things get too polarized as we get closer to the election, it will be the moment for politicians from both sides to actually get something done before it is too late. arthel: phillip, we'll leave it there. thank you. >> thank you. eric: trump administration now pushing back on concerns of a possible recession. we heard a lot about that last week after the dow took its biggest fall of the year, 800 points. when the yield on the two year treasury note topped the yield on the 10-year note. that as we've been told is the so-called inverted yield curve. you heard a lot about that. that condition has happened before, they tell us. usually happens before a recession. but whoo "house" economic advisor -- white house economic advisor larry kudlow sought to assure invest terse when he

appeared on "fox news sunday." >> i don't see recession at all. second of all the trump growth program, which is succeeding, roll back of tax rates, roll back of regulations, energy opening, trade reform, we're going to stay with that. eric: the president has been shooting down the recession talk too. kevin corke covering the president in new jersey where the president has been spending his time at the trump bedminster golf estate. hi, kevin. >> sean, always good to be with you. what is ominous sky is falling reaction by the media with scant little evidence. there are metrics people are talking about, the inverted yield curve as you have some people pointing out worried about recession fears. you look into numbers on wall street, a lot of people don't feel like the way it is going to go go. that is the white house's view i can tell you that after a week

of wild swings on the corner of wall and broad. as for the recession fears, eric, president's chief economic advisor larry kudlow says he is not buying it. >> i'll tell you what i sure don't see a recession. we had blockbuster retail sales consumer numbers towards the back end of last week, really blockbuster numbers. and in fact despite a lot of worries with the volatile stock market, most economists on wall street towards the end of the week had been marking up their forecasts for the third and fourth quarter. that echoes our view. reporter: certainly looking forward to q3 and q4. now on friday, eric, we'll get our checks chance to hear from the fed chair, jerome powell. as you know a frequent target of the president's ire not being more aggressive in keeping rates on par with our global competitors. once again, as you can well imagine the white house is looking for a little bit of

help. >> we have the strongest economy in the world. all needs to happen, martha, is for the federal reserve to do what it needs to do, begin lowering interest rates. reporter: he wants them to lower interest rates because as you can imagine, when you have other nations around the globe sort of futzing with their monetary policy he wants to make sure a level playing field. should make interesting discussion with the fed chair coming up friday. we'll have new home sales reporting this week. that is usually a pretty good indicator how the economy is going. is it sunday? that we talk a little business today. back to you. eric: it is sunday. opening bell tomorrow morning at 9:30. looks like a better week coming. kevin, thank you. reporter: we'll be ready. arthel: organizers say well over a million people hit the streets of hong kong today, braving pouring rain to stage the biggest march the city has seen in weeks of protests.

arthel: fox news alert. pro-democracy activists in hong kong staging one of their largest rallies in weeks today. organize organizers say well over a million people marched peacefully in pouring rain as they hope to move on from the violent clashes that happened at hong kong international airport. susan li, is live in hong kong. susan. reporter: rally organizers say 1.7 million showed up today. hong kong police saying 128,000 turned up at the park, but don't forget the march started in victoria park but moved all the way to financial heart of hong kong. many more people could have joined along the way. we were in those crowds. by our estimate a lot of people showed up, maybe a few hundred thousand is what we saw, but it was, it could be the largest turnout yet since record two million showed up in june to support this pro-democracy movement and it is important, by

the way, that a lot of people turned out today for public gauge of these protests which have now entered their 11th straight week especially after those ugly and violent scuffles at hong kong airports earlier this week, that threatened business and also travel that could have turned public sentiments against them. today they want ad show of unity, also a show of peaceful unity, and a strong message to beijing. we took part along the march. we asked some of the participants what they want the u.s. to do? >> pro-democracy march continues. the crowd certainly turned out. so did the rain. that doesn't seem to be stopping the enthusiasm. >> thank you, fox, for and to donald trump. reporter: what is the message? >> supporting hong kong extradition law. we has to help the human rights movement and have china treat

hong kong humanly. reporter: some of the expressions, it means add oil, go hong kong. they had one other interesting slogan that has become i would say their chanting slogan for this ongoing protests, which means in english exit ace new generation. we have new values. we want our freedom. back to you. arthel: susan li, thank you very much. eric: protest leaders claim 1.7 million people took to the streets. more pressure on beijing to act. hong kong tech tycoon jimmy lai, urging president, that protester, he is urging president trump to step in. the billionaire was on the street with fellow protesters earlier today. then he spoke from hong kong with maria bartiromo on "sunday morning futures". >> the united states should uphold the moral authority of

the value of the west, the value of america. we are actually fighting the same war. your new cold war, we are fighting it because we share the same values with you. so it is very important for you to uphold the values we are fighting. eric: so what comes next and will that plea be heard? gordon chang, asian analyst and author of the coming collapse of china and losing south korea. some people in hong kong hold so dear are being endangered by beijing do you think the chinese communists will back off or escalate? >> issue is not what the the chinese will do. it is hostile regime came to power with violence, maintained its power with violence and its tendency is to use violence and whether it will use violence in among kong whether the world

will impose costs on china whether they do something horrible. the issue for the west, president trump especially to speak with moral clarity. eric: do you think the world will hold them to account? >> i hope so. jimmy lai, when he talks in the sound bite is very, very important the principles that he had. the one thing that he didn't mention though we have the same foe. it is china which is impinging upon autonomy in hong kong but also attacking american democracy. so clearly we have a common interest, which means that although the protesters in hong kong need us as you heard from that guy on the street, but we also need them. because there our front line for freedom. eric: what should the president do, how far in front should he get on this? president obama was severely criticized during the green revolution protests in tehran in 1999 not speaking out forcefully enough, soon enough. let me play a sound bite from the president on wednesday,

leaving the white house, talking about, addressing the situation with the protesters. he said he is concerned. >> well i am concerned. i wouldn't want to see a violent crackdown. i put a little bit after memo out last night, these men i like a lot, i get along with them very well, president xi, i said i would be willing to bet if he sat down with the protesters, a group of representative protesters, i bet he would work it out in 15 minutes. i bet he would work it out very quickly. i know not the kind of thing he does, but i think it wouldn't be a bad idea. i really believe, if he sat down, they have a leadership pool. if he sat down with that leadership pool, i bet he would work something out very quickly. eric: that was at andrews, when he was about to board air force one. what do you think president she should do, what you think he will do to try to diffuse this? will he do that at all? >> xi xinping will basically try to put his forces on the streets of hong kong. he is already doing that. there is a number of chinese

policemen on the street. they are dressed as hong kong policemen, there is video evidence more than a month, shows china is infiltrating its policemen on the streets of hong kong. same thing doing with the hong kong government, essentially carrie lam, the hong kong chief political officer in hong kong is not running things. bejing is doing that. not only giving her instructions from bejing and doing it with officials around her. clearly he should not do this, eric, clearly the we have protests beijing enroaching on hong kong autonomy. in 1997 everyone was pro-china. they lost that support by meddling, being obsessive, being chinese communists. all they have to do is stop doing what they're doing, and protests would go away. eric: you lived there for 10 years. tianamen square by the chinese

government in beijing, killing protesters in tee enmen square, do you fear that will happen again in hong kong, what can president trump do? look at the brave man. we have the iconic photo in our head. the brave man standing up for democracy in china. what can we take from his message? what should the president do right now? >> president trump should sit behind his desk at the oval office and tell xi xinping in the toughest terms possible if china openly deploys its forces on streets of hong kong, that the united states and international community would impose the severest of sanctions. we do that, xi xinping will not go for the worst out comes f we don't do that, if he thinks we are feeble he will do whatever he wants. that is the way chinese communists operate. eric: gordon chang, thanks as always. >> thanks, eric. arthel: apprehensions on the southern border continue to fall but lawmakers on both sides say

the crisis is not over, that reforms are desperately needed. congressman jeff van drew tells us what he saw on a recent trip to the border and how congress should respond. reporter: weather is perfect. families are all together. there's no goldfish in this lake. whoa! it's pure gold. we're gonna be rich... we're gonna be rich! it only gets better when you switch and save with geico.

be right back. with moderate to severe crohn's disease, i was there, just not always where i needed to be. is she alright? i hope so. so i talked to my doctor about humira. i learned humira is for people who still have symptoms of crohn's disease after trying other medications. and the majority of people on humira saw significant symptom relief and many achieved remission in as little as 4 weeks. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores.

don't start humira if you have an infection. be there for you, and them. ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, remission is possible. ♪ eric: the 2020 democratic candidates hitting the trail today, they're in two different states. senators elizabeth warren and bernie sanders are both in south carolina. candidates looking to shore up support in the first state, new hampshire. that is the first state with a primary. the latest "fox news poll" shows that senator warren is climbing ahead of bernie into second place. they are both of course behind former vice president joe biden who has been kind of hanging low recently in delaware. peter doocy is live in columbia, south carolina with more from the campaign trail. hey, peter. reporter: eric, senator elizabeth warren is not just asking for votes, she is asking for prayers at a church service here in colombia this morning.

>> never in a million years, that i think i would end up running for office. first for united states senate from massachusetts. and now for president of the united states. but the reason i did is i have been called to act. reporter: senator warren had a capacity crowd of hundreds at her one and only event in south carolina yesterday while mayor pete buttigieg attended a handful of smaller events spread out across the state including some in rural areas that i that are not rich with democratic primary voters. his focus was split on issues affecting economy in rural areas, on expunging convictions for simple marijuana possession. he thinks they should end incarceration as a response to simple possession. he said, that he would start a clemency commission at the doj. bernie sanders also in

south carolina today. he is rolling out his justice and safety for all plan and the campaign sent us part of a speech where he is going to sum up what he is trying to do. this is part of it. quote, no more keeping people in jail because they're too poor. if we stand together we can enact real police department reform and prosecute police brew at that time. if we stand together, there is nothing, nothing, nothing, that we cannot accomplish. sanders had lunch or is having lunch at a baptist church here in columbia. shortly we expect him to get a walking tour of a neighborhood in columbia as well. so we'll be here for that. eric: polls have been showing senator sanders is kind of sinking. miss warren is bounding ahead. we'll see how it goes. peter, thank you. arthel. >> people pro central america are turning themselves in. they're running to the first border patrol agent they can find claiming asylum. under our law, maria, if you don't change the flores

decision, require home applications in the home country or mexico. we need to change our laws. if if i mitch mcconnell i would make democrats vote on my bill. arthel: senator lindsey graham on "sunday morning futures" calling for the reform the asylum laws. the federal appeals court gave president trump partial win, letting new asylum claims stand in texas, mexico, but not in arizona and california. he was part of the dellgation to the southern border, democratic congressman jeff van drew, a member of the blue dog coalition, problem solvers caucus and house agriculture committee. thanks for joining us. >> oh, have a happy sunday. i'm glad to join you. great to be here. arthel: very good, if you would start by describing for us what you saw during your border tour last month and tell us if you think what you saw at the i.c.e.

detention center is representative of conditions across the border? >> let me answer the last question first. i certainly hope that it is because we asked to really get into it and to drill deep, see what was going on. i also wanted to make sure there wasn't a whole crowd of us. that it was a small group. it ended up being basically two of us, it was bipartisan, it was congressman byrne from alabama, a republican and myself. and we spoke with, you know with everybody all the way from detention center folks who were in charge of that, to folks at the border, people involved with social services, humanitarian aid, to the ports of entry. we had a very, very thorough investigation there i believe. what i found was, a, there is less crowding right now. that is obvious because some people are being detained in mexico. b, that certainly social service groups that are doing good work

there, really trying to help. c, that we are really short of judges. we absolutely need more judges down there to move this thing more quickly. finally, also, looking at the detention centers, we did, we went into the kitchens. we went into the laugh a -- lavatories, everything seemed as it should be. the food was good and pure and quite honestly i am plain eater t was steak, steamed carrots, steamed vegetables, and a normal good meal. seems if they are really trying to obviously get back on track on doing this the right way. you could see where the old retention areas were, particularly a high number of cubans that were being retained. nobody was in those. i think, again, a good reason for that is because people are being held in mexico. quickly, in mexico they are made

legal when they're being held there. they are given the right to work and a job. and temporary driver's license as well, so they can live their lives out in mexico while all this is going on. i think that it's important to see that hopefully we're moving in the right direction. i did not see, and i know that there are certain instances where children are separated from parents. i did not see that. those instances are only supposed to be, and i would be disappointed if there was any other time, other than this, when the parent or parents are obviously violent criminals. we went to the port of entry, which was a real education because the port of entry is obviously where everybody is coming in and out of, from mexico to, to, in this case with texas, we went to el paso. we also saw where literally all types of drugs were hidden in the engines of vehicles.

were hidden in the tire wells of vehicles. were hitten in various aspects of these vehicles. serious drugs. in cases cocaine, heroin, and other drugs as well. so their work there is very important. that area was very crowded. finally let me say that, i think everybody is trying to do the best job this they can do. i know that sometimes people get folks, the border patrol get angry at the border patrol. the border patrol is only doing the job they have been asked to do. like anybody else in law enforcement. we spoke with them at length. we went to the border. we went to the supposed fence or wall or whatever you would like to call it, we went to the physical barrier. both spoke to the mexican side, now there are mexicans also surveying the area and also were helping the border patrol on our side. when we went over there i spoke to them and amazingly enough, they don't have backup. so when they have got an issue or a problem, they have to deal

with something. they very seldom have the backup they need it is the first time arthel, i ever seen that in law enforcement. you always need backup. one the first rules of law enforcement. they are short of manpower there. they really need help this is tough and dangerous job. arthel: indeed. >> all in all i think people are trying to do their best. arthel: congressman van drew, you're a member of the problems solver caucus. >> yes. arthel: tell us about your recommendations to solve the problem at the border by way of immigration policy? >> we're having lots of discussions. nothing is totally finalized. i will tell you what i believe can be done. we need more bipartisanship. anything can be done if republicans and democrats would work together, stop trying to beat each other up, stop trying to hurt each other, stop trying to make the other person look bad and make themselves look good. i want to see an end to that. i only care about america.

that is what is more important than any political party. secondly i think we need to make sure that amnesty is really amnesty. you know, we understand what we're talking aabout what we do that. but most of all, i think we need to make sure asylum is really asylum, even more importantly, because asylum is meant when you are in a country, your life is in danger, you're in danger, circumstances are frightening, you try to get asylum somewhere in the united states. i also believe that, we can have asylum in other countries besides the united states. one of the reasons we have the conditions that we had is because we were so overcrowded. we cannot do it all. we have issues and problems in america too. we have people in america that need help as well. certainly we want to help. arthel: congressman, pardon me, does that mean you agree with president trump's safe third country, deal with guatemala,

migrants who cross into the country to a apply asylum there first instead of u.s. border. do you agree with that? >> i do. i think it is more humane. we won't have overcrowding in either country. we can share with this. we are a world that should work together. i believe asylum should be declared there first very often. we'll have our share of asylum too. let's make sure it is really asylum. understand what asylum is. it doesn't mean, i'm not making as much money i would like. i'm not as comfortable i would like. it means in essence i'm afraid for my life and my well being, my family's well being. that is something we need to square away. we need to square away a better immigration system, smoother, faster, better, works more accurately? arthel: more judges in place? >> nor judges without question. we probably need two to three, four times as many judges that we have. that is one of the major problems. we should be able to adjudicate

these issues very rapidly. arthel: okay. >> that would make a big difference as well. i think we need to make sure that we also work out, if we work out this whole deal, that we have secure borders. and i think that is absolutely essential i do not believe in sanctuary cities. i don't believe people should be coming in and out of the country willy-nilly. i think we need strong, secure borders. at the same time i think we need to take care of what some folks call the daca children. we need to make sure, dreamers, are able to go on with their life, and do become americans, learn about america, actually take a test, pledge to the flag, and then pay taxes and move forward. i believe that is 11 to 13 million people that are here. arthel: all right. congressman jeff van drew, thank you very much, sir, appreciate it. eric: authorities in gibraltar, they had detained oiler. they let it go. the white house said, no, don't do that. we'll have reaction from

washington and tehran about that nextup. the vacation rental that led to the ride ♪ which took them to the place where they discovered that sometimes a little down time can lift you right up. ♪ flights, hotels, cars, activities, vacation rentals. expedia. everything you need to go.

eric: well the british territory of gibraltar rejecting a u.s. request to extend the detention of that iranian oil tanker. suspected of illegally carrying oil to syria. the white house said let it go but they did. trey angst is there. reporter: they will release the tanker as early as tonight after the united states justice department put out a warrant to seize the vessel. it was rejected by the government of british territory since they are bound by eu law. they changed the name of the ship from the grace one to dario one, shows the tanker flying iranian flag. the iranian tanker was taken into british custody as it was suspected trying to smuggle 2.1 billion barrels of oil to

syria. tensions do remain high in the persian gulf after a summer filled with attacks by iran and iranian proxies on western oil tankers and infrastructure. iran's foreign minister mohammed zarif spoke in kuwait where he promote ad iranian proposal for regional nonaggression agreement. despite claims about de-escalation the rhetoric between iran and washington continues as the international community tries to strengthen the strait of hormuz. >> they are not taking our ships, they are taking them from this country, from that country, but you know what? very importantly we have very few ships going there anymore because we don't need that oil and gas. reporter: in addition to tensions in the gulf the international community may see iranians break a third part of the 2015 nuclear agreement. the united states pulled out of that deal just last year but this development could raise more tensions in the region.

congresswomen. the president criticizing rashida tlaib of michigan for rejecting israel's offer to visit her grandmother in the west bank on humanitarian visa. that came after israel denied miss talib an congresswoman ilhan omar of minnesota normal entry due to their support of the boycott israel movement. garrett tenney has more now in washington. garrett? reporter: arthel, plenty of 2020 democrats are weighing in on this controversy as well. criticizing israeli government for blocking two congresswomen visiting and president trump encouraging israel to do it. here is kirsten gillibrand on abc's "this week." >> the point is, congress has a duty to make decision whether we give aid, how we protect allies such as israel with qualitative military edge. unfortunately netanyahu allowed a very conservative government to have a law that says that if you support the bds movement they can prevent you.
