he's specifically going to yuma, arizona today, because a decade ago yuma didn't have a border wall.human trafficking, drug trafficking, crime from mexican cartels. now 90% of that has stopped. he's going to emphasize that. however, if he does go to the place of attacking jeff blake, he will be in very good company. jeff blake's approval rating starts at a low of 18% and goes to a high of 35% so it won't necessarily be bad for him. >> harris: all right. you mentioned the border and the fact that george w. bush was the last president to visit down there. so that makes it a success city among those that we look and talk about. the trump doctrine, kind of all fits into that. you heard representative king call it that earlier in the hour. where are democrats on this? because this messaging just might be very strong among debates and now we'll have a lot of members of the base in front of him tonight. >> yeah. i think we have a lot more to learn about what we're doing in afghanistan. certainly, it's a huge escalation, it appears, of our military activity. the president obviously promised

melissa: the president is set to arrive in yuma, arizona. the grand canyon state is the battle ground for big ticket agenda items, immigration, the border wall, health care. later this hour, we'll speak to kelli ward, a primary challenger for arizona senator jeff flake. president trump recently criticized senator flake for being quote, toxic. will ward work to drain the swamp if elected? david: plus the president's again today facing an uphill battle on capitol hill. former congressman jason chaffetz weighing in on what should be republicans number one priority. let's hope it is that tax cut. ♪ me when this guy got a flat tire in the middle of the night. hold on dad... liberty did what? yeah, liberty mutual 24-hour roadside assistance helped him to fix his flat so he could get home safely. my dad says our insurance doesn't have that. don't worry - i know what a lug wrench is, dad. is this a lug wrench? maybe? you can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™. liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance. david: next stop, arizon

they arrested 800 illegals a day in yuma. thousands of trucks crossed over, filled with drugs and more illegal immigrants. it has since turned. we take it to former arizona sheriff paul babeu, good to see you. >> thank you. liz: what do you think that president is hearing in his meeting with border officials today. >> that enforcing the law does work. that we have used yuma, one of 9 border patrol sector from california through texas, they have been model of enforcement. they use what is called operation stream line. meaning any illegals which came through, nobody received catch and release. they were prosecuted. we had consequences. yet failure in certainly under obama, they had catch and release, was alive and well. so, president trump has seen, hearing that and he brought co complete 180 degree change not only with his words but by telling border patrol we'll enforce you, expen forc and enforce the law, and ending catch and release, and elevating priority of criminal prosecutions against the illegals. they have had a treme

there you see air force i in yuma, arizona. the president just landed there on the u.s.s are trying to travel to the u.s. cnn's boris sanchez is live for us in yuma. bore is, what is the president's plan here? >> reporter: hey there, jake. the president is trying to highlight one of the areas of his agenda where he has seen some success. we've seen some success in terms of legislative efforts with the passing of kate's law and a crackdown on sanctuary cities in the house, those two bills now headed to the senate. we've also seen a tremendous amount of investment and a boost in funding to border patrol and ice, the departme ice. the department of homeland security directly attributes this approach to a 70% decrease in apprehensions of border crossing. there are several layers of fence, there is stadium lighting for miles, and back when it was installed in 2006, since then the department of homeland security says there has been a 70% decrease in the number of people trying to cross the border at this point. so the president is expected to tout that as a blueprint, so to sp

the reason he was in yuma, arizona.hey've seen an 83% drop in border crossings ever since they installed more fencing and infrastructure and say a big part of that was trump's executive orders that dealt with immigration. that played a big part in helping reduce the number of border crossings. we expect that to be a topic of conversation here tonight. we talked to thousands of supporters and the number one issue we wanted to see president trump address was border security. trump will take the stage a few hours from now, and people camped out overnight to grab the first spot in line, to be the first ones through the door tonight. connell. >> reporter: got used to that in the campaign. connell: can you see this is a campaign-style event tonight organized by the president's political operation, we've been hearing reports that president trump views facebook's mark zuckerberg and massachusetts senator elizabeth warren as potential democratic rivals in 2020, maybe a primary opponent from john kasich or somebody else. that's t

today earlier the president was in yuma, arizona. he toured a customs and border patrol facility there. shining a spotlight on one of the administration's policy's achievement that illegal border crossings have plummeted during his time since the inauguration. we have got team fox coverage for you tonight on the ground in phoenix. jonathan hunt outside the convention center. mike emanuel is inside the arena where the president is set to speak. good evening, mike. >> martha, good evening, the folks filing in to this convention center right now are pretty loyal and diehard group. it is 107 degrees in phoenix right now. and they have been standing outside for hours. and i am not joking. they seem to be in good spirits at this hour. the folks that i have talked to no short fuses due to the heat outside. they seem excited to hear from the president about some key items on his agenda after more than seven months in office. there has been some buzz about whether the president would offer a pardon for former sheriff joe arpaio who is from th

the presidents stop in yuma is the opening act before a big campaign style rally. major protests are also expected to take place. tensions over his visit have phoenix's mayor. >> what it was announced the visit was going to come, i do not feel it was the right time to do it. to close after charlottesville, a difficult situation not only for the people in charlottesville but for all americans. that's why a campaign style rally, i didn't think it was appropriate. i thought at the time and i still do that that delay. we don't want to cancel the visit with the delay of the presidential visit was an appropriate request and would be an appropriate action by the white house. i am under no illusion that the president will take my advice. >> kat: president trump is not budging. big surprise there. doesn't say all right, i won't. >> brian: i don't know if they know this or not but he can't stop being president publicly because they had an incident two weeks ago. i think the mayor is out of control even requesting that he not show up. >> eboni: you can have strong feelings. i

the pictures coming to us from yuma. he is going to be heading to phoenix. earlier, he visited a u.s. customs and border protection site in yuma as he boards the stairs to air force one. immigration, a big part of the agenda for today's western trip which crescendos tonight with a big rally in phoenix. thousands who love the president will be inside the convention center there. there is the wave. others who do not share that sentiment will soon be outside protesting. let's get the latest from chief white house correspondent john roberts. good evening. >> good evening. tonight's campaign style rally in phoenix comes at a time when the president's relationship with congress, particularly the senate, has been extremely combative. a source tells fox news that the president will be tough on congress during his speech, as he lays out his expectations for the weeks ahead. it's likely the last time president trump will hold a political rally before congress comes back from recess. an opportunity for the president to set the table for what he expects will be a robust

air force one made its first top in yuma near the mexico border. the president took part in a meeting with marines at the air station and is expected to speak to a crowd of 10,000 at the phoenix convention center. major protests are expected outside.>>> you are watching ktvu fox 2 news at 6:30. >>> there's a push to strengthen california's anti- hate crime limes those laws.>> it would direct law enforcement retreat white supremacists as terrorists.>>reporter: closing a california loophole seems to be the goal with a heightened sense of urgency to pass a bill like this given the current climate. the violent protest against the removal of a confederate monument in charlottesville, virginia two weeks ago continues to spark nationwide outrage, fueling a debate about the laws definition of a hate crime. the views surrounding heather heyer's death has turned into action. >> heather heyer does not meet what's considered a protective class within the definition of the law, meaning she is not jewish or a person of color, she is not lgbtq and thus, and act a

keep in mind the president will first be visiting yuma, the border region. the president has been very proud and his administration has been proud with the impact its been able to have on border crossings. people coming across the border illegally. it's an issue that they say as positive. one of the reasons why jill -- general kelly was promoted. >> shepard: are we expecting anything on joe arpaio tonight? that got mentioned to fox news channel and a lot of his base watches fox news channel. you wonder if this is a real thing. do we have any reporting on that? >> at this point he's not expected to decide that he wants to make this announcement about arpaio. there's questions here at the white house about what he will want to end up doing. the president is somebody that has a flare for the dramatic. he loves surprising people on a rally stage. so i think everybody will be watching closely to see what he will do. arpaio has said that he's not sure. >> shepard: you wonder if he couldn't keep the same energy that he brings for the rallies. nobody will discount t

president trump is going to be in yuma, arizona any minute now.n rally event plant tonight for phoenix as well. mike emanuel on what could be a pretty raucous evening. what are you hearing, mike? >> good to see you. it's 104 degrees in phoenix right now. everyone around here keeps telling me it's a dry heat, but there's a lot of people wrapped around the convention center waiting to see the president live. i asked many about what they want to hear from the president tonight. >> i want to hear him re-affirm things that he promised on the campaign trail and maybe some clarification how he intends to get there being there's so much opposition to him. >> i want assurances that he will continue on with the same policies that he was elected by. >> i just want to hear what he has to say and continue to say what he's been saying true to our country since he started running this campaign. >> those folks and others say they want to hear about tax reform and about securing the border. they say despite a set back in the president, they want to say that he's f

customs and border protection in the city of yuma, close to the mexican border. the commander-in-chief also visited with u.s. marines thanking them for their service. >> reporter: some republicans that are not expected to be here tonight, the governor, senators flake and mccain. they are not expected to take the stage or be in the arena tonight. once president trump here is he will overnight, the president, here in arizona and then tomorrow morning, he leaves here from phoenix and heads to reno nevada. >> back to you. >> thank you. >>> bay area skating sensation kristi yamaguchi back on the ice with a little help from her daughter. the star-studded celebration for a good cause. >> southwest winds got us chilly yesterday. a look at the current winds throughout the bay area. it's breezy but most of the winds coming out of the northwest. that's added 5 to 7 degrees to the thermometer today. coming up, when we are going to add another 15 degrees. looking at the bay bridge, we're talking triple digits next. that turned into a traffic nightmare. a group of bay area stu

and the border patrol during a visit to yuma sector. it was hot. like 115 degrees.at was a hot -- you learn if you are in shape, if you can do that, believe me. they actually told me, sir, it's relatively cool today. can you believe this? but it was great. i met with the border patrol and i met with i.c.e. these are incredible people, the jobs they do. in fact general kelly who was in charge of homeland security where people coming in down 78 and almost 80%. he did so good i made him my chief of staff. right? that made sense. where's john. where is he? where is general kelly? get him out here. he's great. he's doing a great job. but we did a lot. before anything happened, we did a lot. we respect and cherish you are i.c.e. officers and border patrol agents and we respect and cherish our police officers and firemen and all of our uniformed services. but during that visit i heard firsthand from the front line agents about the security threats they confront each and every day. and i pledged my continued resolve to them and all of you to keep our country safe. all aroun

just before the speech you played, george, we had visited the yuma sector where a wall was built in 2006, or starting then. the results have been pretty undisputable in terms of the reduced number of border crossings. and the length of that 370-mile or so region of responsibility for that sector was not patrolable without some kind of wall. from my perspective. the wall works. it's a small investment for the return we receive. the president has asked for it in a responsible budget package. that carries out the responsibilities of the entire federal government. i think the responsibility falls back to the democrats and others in congress to decide whether that priority is something they would like to shut the government down over or if they would like to carry out the president's order. >> the president threatened to shut the wall down. he said the mexicans were going to pay for it. you said the words matter. the president has known since january from the mexicans from a phone call himself, that the mexicans are not going to pay for it. the secretary of state hasn't brought it up in meeti

he will also visit marines at the marine base and yuma. as for what we he will say, we got a preview today from vice president mike pence will introduce the president tonight. listen here. >> tonight you will hear the president say that as congress prepares to come back, here's the agenda. we want to support our troops, want to provide them resources they need to accomplish the mission that the president has tested them to accomplish. we want to support law enforcement, we want to build a wall and enforce border security. >> why the president chose to do a campaign style rally in phoenix, it was senator john mccain who came back from brain surgery who torpedoed the vote. neither mccain nor flake will be there tonight, though i would expect they will play a prominent role as well. the governor of arizona, doug ducey will not be there tonight, though he is meeting the president on the tarmac in phoenix to give him an arizona welcome. melissa? >> melissa: there we go, john, thank you. president trump last night making a new vowel to no more n

in yuma, arizona, that would excite the base.icks to national security issues, that would help them as well. i hope he continues to move away from that. neil: sheriff arpaio said he is not going to go to this event tonight. it was found guilty of criminal contempt. i imagine in light of the charlottesville has been put back. what you make of that? >> i think that is a wise decision and perhaps this is chief of staff john kelly of the communications team being able to take the lead. look what happens when president donald trump follows his communications staff. he gets eloquent, good, strong speeches. he inspires the nation. however, his rallies are his form of stress relief to be showered in love by all of his adoring fans if you will. it will be fairly typical at the rallies we've seen before. however, i do think of course he will be talking at the border, how border walls were, how we need to push that. i think you'll be fairly standard. >> you know, i always wonder the president come i do want to raise this with you as well. t

air force one landed in yuma, arizona. the president took part in a meet and greet with marines and a marine corps air station. he then traveled to phoenix to speak at the convention center where he will talk to a crowd of 10,000 at a campaign style valley that will start in just a few hours. u.s. official said new u.s. troops will begin arriving in afghanistan in the coming days and also the secretary of state held a briefing to spell out the international aspects of the president's plan that he announced last night. joel waldman is in washington with more. >>reporter: the presidents plan calls for sending more troops to the war-torn nation and while how many more still remains in question, deployments could begin in just days.>> we believe we can turn the tide of what has been a losing battle. >>reporter: rex tillerson announcing the u.s. will rely on india and pakistan to execute the presidents plan to eventually end the war in afghanistan and stop terrorism in south asia. his remarks come one day after the president ou

he was down at the border wall in lower arizona and yuma today. he'll talk about that.out the economy. the markets are going great guns, reducing regulations, maybe promising tax reform. fighting terror. last night's theme, what do you expect? >> i think all of that. the border is critical. he's got to get funding for the border wall and have immigration reform. he doesn't get those things, obviously the other stuff he doesn't get, it will be very, very difficult to keep moving forward. he's got to get tax reform, take credit for the economy. the deregulation that he did very aggressively when he got in office was very, very important, gave confidence to the business community but the tax reform is critical. gregg: take a few slaps at sanctuary cities while he's at it? >> absolutely. gregg: there is red meat. >> no sympathy for sanctuary city among his base and most people who know about sanctuary cities. gregg: back slaps at john mccain and jeff flake? >> i would ignore flake tonight. flake is going to have a real primary. as a matter of fact, my super pac is endorsing

president trump is set to leave the white house and head west to arizona for a visit to the border town of yuma and later, a campaign-style rally in phoenix. this is coming a day after his very scripted speech on his strategy for the war in afghanistan and a week after his very unscripted and controversial response to the violence in charlottesville. the question right now, which president trump will we hear tonight? let's start with cnn's kaitlan collins at the white house. kaitlan, obviously arizona an important state. trump carried it in november. immigration is a hot button issue. he's been critical of both republican senators. what are we expecting to hear tonight? >> we are not going see the president trump we saw last night where he was scripted, as you said, very measured and careful as he outlined his afghanistan policy. instead, we will see the trump we typically see at these campaign-style rallies, rambunctious and shoot from the hip. will he go after members of his own party? there's a lot of tension in arizona with the mayor of phoenix telling the president to delay his rally there

president trump is now on his way to president trump he is heading to yuma, arizona where he will tours there at the southern border between us and mexico. tonight, he's planning to hold a campaign style rally in phoenix despite the mayor's request that the president delay that. arizona's republican governor won't be at that rally, but he will brief the president on the tarmac. all of this has questions grow about what the president is expected to say and whether he'll use the rally as a chance to unify the nation much like he used his talk on afghanistan last night, a different tone. he touched on unity, watch this. >> loyalty to our nation demands loyalty to one another. love for america requires love for all of its people. when we open our hearts to patients, there is no room for prejudice, no place for bigotry and no tolerance for hate. >> harris: house speaker paul ryan praised the president's remarks. >> i think what he did two days ago and commending the peaceful protests against the hate is a good start. 25 minutes ago, i heard the president say exactly what we needed to hear.

he looked at some of the fencing that was there in yuma.n op-ed.ay, we have it is talking about why border walls work. thewriter talks about bipartisan fence act which was supported by hillary clinton, barack obama, joe biden, and others. hundreds of miles of additional fencing in the yuma sector. while there is still work to do, she writes that there is still more work to do. lawmakers should come together on both sides of the aisle to give the men and women of homeland security the resources they need to defend our borders. op-ed inead that full usa today. our next caller on the line for independents, go ahead. caller: please do not cut me off. this is a message to all black americans. all this outrage over these statues, where was the outrage eight years ago? please do not cut me off. host: i am listening. caller: where was all the phony outrage eight years ago when obama was resident -- president? the statues were there then. as far as the border wall, killingimmigrants are america. they are taking our jobs and keeping wages stagnant. s

his visit starts in yuma. trump will tour a u.s. customs and border protection facility and meet with u.s. marines before heading to phoenix for a nighttime rally expected to draw thousands of supporters and protest es. besides how peaceful it will be in the run-up, whether the president will follow-up this tweet with an official endorsement of senator jeff flake's challenger in the primary. cnn asked flake about that yesterday. >> how about the president calling you a non-factor in the senate and toxic? >> don't -- don't worry about it at all. go ahead and doing my job. >> reporter: is it the president's place to endorse a primary challenger? particularly somebody against his own party? >> that's not my realm. i'm running my own campaign. it's going well and what the president does is his prerogative. >> and yet another subplot we're watching as trump heads west, the possibility he'll harden former maricopa county sheriff joe arpaio, found guilty of criminal contempt refusing to follow a judge's order barring from racially profilin

we are looking at air force one as it lands in yuma, arizona.im vandehei, thank you for spending time with us. >>> up next, one of the men behind the notorious trump dossier faces new questions in the russia investigation. we will be right back. of our f? what? no. how come you have cheese in your beard? because switching to geico could save you 15% or more on car insurance. oh! ok. geico. because saving 15% or more on car insurance is always a great answer. whoa! gross! whuuuuuat?rtgage offer from the bank today. you never just get one offer. go to lendingtree.com and shop multiple loan offers for free! free? yeah. could save thousands. you should probably buy me dinner. no. go to lendingtree.com for a new home loan or refinance. receive up to five free offers and choose the loan that's right for you. our average customer could lower their monthly bills by over three hundred dollars. go to lendingtree.com right now. >>> in the public domain is this question of the steele dossier. a document that has been around now for over a year. was the fbi

technology, and a wall to crack down on immigration, illegal immigration most notably, in 2006, in yuma, there was about five miles of wall, now it's more than 60 m e miles and the white house this morning touting the fact that illegal crossings have dropped about 80% say they compared to this time just a couple of years ago. so that's a critical element they'll be focusing on. the president obviously is going to be making a big set of remarks, at least in the eyes of his base when he comes to the phoenix convention center. but already there's an anticipated clash between the protesters who are going to be there to greet him and those hardcore supporters who will be inside, even the mayor of phoenix urging the president not to come, knowing that he was going to come nonetheless. the governor will greet the president on the tarmac but he won't be there on stage with him. notably absent both jeff flake and john mccain, the two republican senators of arizona. >> you have new reporting on jared kushner. a new middle east trip. what can you tell us? >> reporter: this is something the preside
