Weeks away the president shifted his focUs Immigration including tough talk on the Migrant Caravan heading to the us from central america, 7000, some say much more, strong and growing, donald trump says blame the democrats and who is part of the caravan. The New York Times claims transgender could be defined out of existence by the Trump Administration. A lot more, we investigate what the administration isnt isnt planning to do. We begin with Kristin Fisher live in houston, the scene of the latest m aga rally. This was quite a rally today, two years ago no one wouldve believe donald trump would be campaigning for senator ted cruz, lying ted but now donald trump has a new nickname for him, texas ted, he debuted it beating the white house on the way here to houston and when he walks on the stage tonight inside impact toyota ctr. Donald trump gave senator ted cruz a hug, acknowledged things got nasty between the two of them during the 2016 campaign but said since then he has been critical in enacting the trump agenda. Nobody has helped me more with your tax cuts, your regulations. He gave ted cruzs opponent beto orourke, overrated the work. Teds opponent in this race is a stone cold phony named Robert Francis orourke but he is actually a radical the fact that donald trump came here tonight shows how uncomfortably close the race has become for republicans, ted cruz is ahead by just 7 points according to be average polls and the president and ted cruz think this caravan of migrants currently making their way towards the us border could help from when on election day. You know how the caravan started . Does everyone know what this means . I think the democrats had something to do with it and they are saying i think we made a big mistake because people are seeing how bad it is, how bad our laws are. One of the other big moments donald trump taking on his critics who accused him of being a nationalist. I say really, we are not supposed to use that word but im a nationalist. The only line that got more applause was what he said about elizabeth warren. Give two new nicknames, one is ted cruz, when is beto orourke but her nickname away, he can no longer call her pocahontas because she doesnt qualify for that nickname after she released those dna results. Shannon thank you very much. The new wall street journal poll sows donald trump setting a new approval record though he is still underwater at 47 approval, 49 disapproval but the gop, the timing couldnt be better, this points to an energized electorate buffeted by dynamics would bring great uncertainty to the outcome of the election two weeks away. Lets bring in britt hume to discuss. It is odd for the president and his backers to be celebrating, he still in the water but for him this is a peek at his Approval Rating just heading into the midterm. Donald trumps Approval Rating matters in the midterms especially a president s first midterm and it does appear not just from the wall street journal poll but other Approval Rating has ticked up a bit, still as the wall street journal indicates underwater but better than it was and it does help republican candidates in the upcoming election. The wall street journal says over the last couple weeks there has been a closure in key swing districts, they talk about how this gap closed up, district rated as most competitive by the nonpartisan political report the party said that even on the question of which one should control congress. Investments formula the same question by 13 Percentage Points among registered voters and 6 points among likely voters. That is the gap you want to see close. Racist tightness you get closer to the election. That is usually the pattern but clearly there was a Brett Kavanaugh effect on Republican Voters and to some extent on democratic voters but democratic voters were so motivated already it is hard to believe they got much extra out of that. They are hyped up to vote but looks like gop voters may feel that way as well and im hearing a lot, trump as the hard car supporters for whom he can do nothing wrong but there is under the category of voters who say things like i dont like this guy but love what he is doing. I hear that all the time from various different people in various situations and that is a factor and it may be showing up in his Approval Rating to some extent and may show up in support for congressional candidates running as republicans. Very aware of things he is doing with rolling back regulations, a Business Owner about federal judges, the bench, people are paying attention, this is another one. A lot made about women, females, mothers, families, how they would vote and the wall street journal says the competitive swing districts in control of the house in suburban districts, the parties are virtually tied, 44 favor gop control and 45 favor democrat. The president and his party dont do well among women particularly suburban women but do well among suburban men. That may offset the advantage, this could turn out to be a much closer affair than we imagined. We are biting our nails at this point. Who knows how many scandals will erupt between now and then. The impact on the house, if democrats retake a lot of things will change, the investigations going on led by devon nunez and mark meadows and jim jordan and others, byron york points out things america wouldnt know if not for the investigation. The role the dossier played in the fbi investigation, the antitrump bias of fbi investigators obama officials unmasking Trump Officials and the role of fusion gps. A pretty extensive list and those are all things uncovered by the House Intelligence Committee under devon nunez which carried on its investigation, a stern unflinching democratic resistance with adam schiff, ranking democrat, cameras and microphones, looked sympathetic and the committee was able to unearth that stuff and what is surprising to me is the antipathy toward him not just among liberals and democrats would you expect but even republicans and i think he has been unfairly maligned in the Media Coverage which has been atrocious. Not just that investigations would grind to a halt. How much do you think the president would be a target. He would be a constant target of democrats gets control of the house, not sure they would impeach them, some members will want to, not sure how far that will go but there will be an endless series of investigations, charges, testimony and the like the nunez investigation this will receive very sympathetic and extensive Media Coverage. Thank you very much. Migrant caravan almost doubles in size. Some say it got bigger as it pushes forward toward the us border as donald trump things to cut foreign aid to Central American countries. Trace gallagher tracking at all from the west coast bureau. The numbers are hard to nail down because the caravan is more spread out but it appears 7000 migrants are moving with, mexico will only allow 100 People Per Day to apply for support them asylum. They run or change policies, donald trump, quote, sadly it looks like mexicos police and military are unable to stop the caravan heading to the southern border of the United States. I have alerted Border Patrol and military, this is a national emergency. Exactly what the us strategy would be once the migrants arriving is unclear. The president said this. They are going to form a wall, different kind of warm until we get the other one built, we need a wall built fast, fast. Keep in mind a complete shutdown of the border would be an enormously difficult task, the president also threatened to cut funding to guatemala, honduras and el salvador in 2017, those countries got us 500 million. Listen to what the president said to an abc correspondent about the caravan. Watch. Take your camera, go into the middle, youre going to find ms 13, middle eastern, everything and guess what. We are not allowing them in our country. The president offered no evidence to support his claim and we couldnt find any but guatemalas largest newspaper long documented the guatemala is a major smuggling core door for foreigners from africa and 11 days ago Jimmy Mireles said his country had detained and deported 100 isis terrorists and 1000 members of ms 13. He did not say when they were apprehended or if theres a connection to the caravan in any way. Secretary of state mike pompeo indicated members of the caravan are inciting violence under the influence of politically motivated leaders. He did not give examples either but one of the leaders of the leading organizes of last spring up Central American caravan has been arrested in mexico for joining this caravan. A lot of questions, thank you for digging in. In a new oped the wall street Journal Editorial Board says donald trump is right to turn back the caravan partly because it is organized and not necessarily for the benefit of the migrants but theres this historical note, quote, not since 1980 boatlift from cuba has there been a similar to the over one Us Immigration law on the pretext of celebrity american freedom, castro sought to criminals and mentally ill climbed aboard those boats, no one doubted the cuban hunger to escape but the unintended consequences of the mayhem were costly. The power panel on immigration, democratic strategist dave brown, lisa and former acting ice director thomas homan, welcome to all of you. Lets start with something nancy pelosi had to say in a joint statement with Chuck Schumer the president is desperate to change the subject from healthcare to immigration because he knows healthcare is the number one issue Americans Care about. I would say democrats are desperate to not talk about immigration. The center for American Progress put out a memo to democrats saying to avoid immigration at republicans have been on the offense on immigration, on issues like sanctuary cities, issues like democrats calls to abolish ice and what this does is putting immigration in the center, the focus of the National Debate which is what donald trump wants and what republicans want and republicans and donald trump should be hammering it because when you see visuals like these migrants breaking down the gates into mexico it demonstrates and underscores Donald Trumps call for increased Border Security, couldnt ask for a better political gift to be honest. The president says whenever you see a caravan or people illegally coming or attempting to come into our country illegally think of and blame democrats for not giving us votes to change our pathetic immigration laws which member the midterms, so unfair what do you make of this assertion that this is a huge political gift to the president at just the right time . I agree it is a political gift the president because this is a wedge issue he has been effective at using dating back to when he ran for president in 2016 but i very much disagree the democrats havent been at the table to work in good faith. I served in the senate, we passed comprehensive bipartisan Immigration Reform, democrats and republicans came together. There is a proven path, theres a way to find a path forward for bipartisan Immigration Reform. I was really struck by the fox and Friends Panel of independent voters this morning, to a person, dont want to put words in her mouth but they recognized the humanitarian crisis at the border but they also said they want democrats and republicans to come together, tired of the unnecessary partisanship so it is unfortunate the president engages in the kind of rhetoric he is engaging in where he makes Immigration Reform a 0sum game, thats not best for the country. You put up four pillars, you can get these things done including generous allocations for socalled dreamers who are already in the country and others connected to them and he would sign the bill, the republicans and democrats couldnt get it together. No one knows better about that and former ice director thomas homan. I want to play something donald trump said at the rally and get your reaction. That is an assault on our country. That is an assault. In that caravan you have some very bad people, very bad people and we cant let that happen to our country. You would know more about this than the rest of us put together about who is showing up. We take custody of everybody in the last few years between 18 , 20 , have a criminal history, criminal convictions. There are a lot of criminals, the cross the border, not every criminal but as far as what the president s comments that he made, i have sometimes it is said to see what you see but i cant blame people for coming to the United States, the greatest country on earth but you cant be part of the greatest country on earth and the respective laws, you cant have it both ways not under this president and i agree 100 . Your secondguessed talking about democrats at the table, in the last year and a half we were not at the table, a lot of lawmakers him of the party shut down the loopholes, refused to shut down loopholes, talking sanctuary cities, abolish ice, wont fix loopholes your enticing others to make a dangerous journey about just people entering the country illegally but a National Security issue, they are running drugs and bad people, it is a fact. You can like or not like the president on this issue. We will play something one of the members of this caravan told us today. This is what he said about the strategy. This is not going to be easy. Theres a lot of people, he cannot stop everybody. Donald trump should try. What we have are people that are intentionally trying to exploit our laws, loopholes in the 2008 antihuman trafficking law makes this difficult to send Central American individuals back. You also look at the forest decree which means minors cant be detained longer than 20 days which makes it difficult when you have these individuals coming over as family unit so Central American migrants know what they are doing and are trying to exploit United States laws and as i mentioned before when you see the visual of breaking through the gate into mexico this underscores Donald Trumps calls to Border Security and this will drive people to the polls. Immigration is the number one issue for republicans. I went to get dave and thomas for a final word, dave, you. This is a hard issue. No one worked on this issue would say it is an easy issue but bottom line, probably a broken record on this, this is an issue that requires good people to come together and compromise and the reason one of your speakers talked how democrats were not at the table is not true, disagree with that but part of the challenge is paul ryan at House Republican leadership have allowed members of their caucus to dictate terms. There is broad bipartisan consensus for Immigration Reform, smart people need to come to the table and compromise. Guest is wrong again. I was on the hill and met with a lot of lawmakers, cant have someone like nancy pelosi say ice agents are terrorizing innocent communities, people like senator john brennan talk about that, all those leaders, democratic party, saying the things they say and i will add this, this isnt about Law Enforcement, when people make that journey people will die to into this country. Women will be raped, children die across the river and the criminal organization that murdered Border Patrol agents and ice agents by enticing illegal entry and having open borders. Acknowledging ice and open borders, not just loopholes in the law is open borders. Every person on the hill, democrat or republican the number one responsibility to protect this country and they are not doing it. Thank you for weighing in. Donald trump threatens to build up our Nuclear Arsenal until russian leaders come to their senses. How will Vladimir Putin respond to messages like that when it this one from the white house . Right now they have not adhered to the agreement. It includes china. Former cia station chief Daniel Hoffman is live on that and breaking developments surrounding Jamal Khashoggis death. I am a family man. I am a techie dad. I believe the best technology should feel effortless. Like magic. At comcast, its my job to develop, apps and tools that simplify your experience. My name is mike, im in Product Development at comcast. Were working to make things simple, easy and awesome. Shannon an ominous warning ominous warning for russia, the kremlin fights back over Donald Trumps decision to pull back of the inf treaty in one of the top advisers to meet with Vladimir Putin tomorrow. Richardson has more from the state department. National security adviser john bolton is in moscow, donald trump is justifying his administrations plan to terminate a cold war Era Nuclear Arms Treaty saying russia is cheating, china is not even part of the treaty and places the United States at a strategic disadvantage. They have not here to the spirit of the agreement or the agreement itself, russia, china is not included in the agreement, they should be included in the agreement. Until they get smart there will be nobody that will be even close to us. The president says the administration will build up the us arsenal until people come to their senses and when that happens the us will hold its build up and reduce its weapons. The us and soviet union signed the Intermediaterange Nuclear forces treaty in 1987 mandating the destruction and prohibition of ground launched ballistic and cruise missiles with ranges between 300, 3500 miles, the Obama Administration claimed russia was violating the treaty but chose to hold it together out of concern it would prompt an arms race. The russian government denies it is in violation of treaty, the kremlin says the us decision will make the world a more dangerous place is russia will have to take measures to secure its own security, the Chinese Government says the us should think twice about withdrawing. Russian state media reports john bolton met with several top russian officials and tomorrow perhaps will meet with Vladimir Putin. Thank you. There were reports tonight that cia director gina hasp was traveling to turkey amid International Outcry after saudi arabias explanation about the death of Jamal Khashoggi and the turkish president says his investigation will reveal the naked truth, possibly a different truth. Steve mnuchin meets with the Saudi Crown Prince as he continues to deny involvement in the coming, donald trump says hes not satisfied by what he heard from the saudis so far. A great group of people in turkey and a great group of people in saudi arabia. I am not satisfied with what i have heard. Former cia station chief Daniel Hoffman, lets start with turkey because we know the cia director is en route if not already there. Erdogan is going to publicly lay out what they have found in their investigation so far so important that she is there as well . A great move for her to travel to turkey because the essence of what president erdogan is going to say is based on what the Intelligence Service is collecting, the technical surveillance, human surveillance is the basis, the evidence on which the case provides and she will be there firsthand to examine the evidence and engage with senior turkish officials. The washington posts is the chief concern for washington is erdogan will reveal details but implicate the crown prince who has been a key ally for the Trump Administration. It is a tough spot but the president has said repeatedly we are sending our top people, we know Steve Mnuchin is over there and the cia director. That is the key question weve been asking since this began. Who gave the order to send these 15 salaries on the gulfstream to murder Jamal Khashoggi and where those orders carry out as intended . The guy who gave the order mohammed been salmon and if it was that will have serious implications for our bilateral relationship, tomorrow begins the saudi investors conference. Nobody has shown up except the russians and the pakistanis, that doesnt bode well for his signature policy 2030 vision to diversify the saudi economy. That is where the saudis will have to make important decisions about their future. Bret baer talk to the Saudi Foreign minister and heres his explanation. Where individuals into the exceeding the responsibilities they had and made the mistake, they tried to cover up for it. He went on to refer to it as a criminal act, people will be held responsible. Will there be definitive findings to tell us whether the crown prince was involved in giving orders . That is the ultimate question. I would be hesitant to offer a guess whether the evidence is going to prove that or not but what i would say is our Intelligence Community already knows a lot and the turks are out front saying we will hear more tomorrow but i think theres going to be a lot more work to do and the reason mike pompeo flew to riyadh and pressed the saudis was because we kind of know a lot about what happened and we are trying to do the right thing with transparency, we know that it the beginning they said Jamal Khashoggi walked out of the consulate which wasnt true and now this our description of a brawl which erupted, theres a lot of truth to get to hear. Let me ask about the president s decision to pull out of the inf treaty, he says we will build up our nukes into they come to their senses. This is a good bit of kremlin theater going back to 2007, Vladimir Putin said the inf treaty wasnt good for russia. He needs Intermediaterange Nuclear forces to deal with europe and china as well. He has the ss 25, violated this treaty but tried to portray it as if the United States is the one not adhering to the treaty, russia likes to say russia is committed to a multipolar world and need to deal with, nothing could be farther from the truth. I would like to see john bolton give one of his press conferences from moscow where he holds the russians accountable. Interesting to see if that meeting takes place. Thank you as always.

The showdown heading towards the us border as the Migrant Caravan began moving 25 miles morris monday helped by mexicans offering food, water and transportation. They have good hearts. Reporter since leaving honduras last week organizers say the group doubled in size to 7000, some applied for asylum but most went to enter the us legally or not display the president s warning. This is not going to be easy. I dont think he will be able to stop everybody. After first telling donald trump it would stop the caravan mexico reversed course overwhelmed by sheer numbers and wanting to avoid a violent confrontation. The immigrants also know the us cannot catch or deport them all, hundreds of Central Americans each day because Court Decisions and lack of shelter space. Dont know if we will apply for asylum, depends if we can get there first of all that my dream is get through the border. Reporter that remains 1400 miles away or roughly a 3 month block. Migrants hope buses will cut the time in half. The final destination, california, not arizona or texas. Mexico says 1000 families applied for asylum here. Of approved they can stay in mexico to live and work. The United NationsRefugee Agency is helping process those claims would make a distinction between migrants in poverty versus likely victims of racial, religious or political persecution. Willingly leaving their countries as you mentioned, refugees having that possibility to go back because they would face that. We are seeing a massive exodus from guatemala and el salvador but people say it is because crime and corruption and poverty, they have no hope of staying, no working better off leaving than staying in that is a reason we continue to see this, we have reports late tonight that people are back at the river coming north. Thank you. The war of words over covering the caravan, the Associated Press changing the headline of a story about the group that originally read a ragged, growing army of migrants but after some twitter users accused the aps promoting a, quote, racist agenda the newsagency change to the headline to read ragged growing caravan of migrants marching toward the us. Journalists should stop sharing their opinions on twitter because it often reveals their leftwing bias. In a sunday peace he cautioned the media to be careful on social media, quote, snark, jokes and blatant opinion are showing your hand and always seems to be the left one making it impossible to win back the statistics. Dramatic scene in washington dc, an unnamed man forced his way to a station at glass doors before being shot by an armed guard. The man previously sent threatening emails to the stations staff and Law Enforcement and currently in critical condition. The New York Times says the Trump Administration is mulling over a new definition for the word gender. What is going on . We talk to tony perkins and radio talkshow host, stay tuned. Shannon lgbt activists mobilizing today leading protests outside the white house after shannon lgbt activists leading protests outside the white house after New York Times reporter said this. Transgender could be defined out of existence under Trump Administration was we asked Garrett Tenney to find the truth about this. Reporter according to the New York Times is about of health and Human Services is considering a narrower definition of gender which determined by a persons birth. A draft memo obtained by the times describes the proposed criteria, quote, sex means a persons status malefemale based on immutable biological traits identifiable by or before birth. The 6 listed on a persons birth certificate as originally issued shot constitute definitive proof of a person at sex unless vetted by genetic evidence. Hhs is not commenting on an alleged linked proposal but it point out in 2016 a federal judge ruled the Obama Administration went too far using a broad definition of sex to conclude discrimination based on gender identity was a civil rights violation. That was one of many moves the Obama Administration made to expand the legal concept of gender and one of many the Trump Administration is working to roll back. Of the rule goes forward it would mark a major shift for transgender rights based on how gender is defined. Today they will protest at the white house and activists said the administration is trying to wipe away Transgender Society altogether. The notion that hhs can just wish into being a fantasy world in which transgender people dont exist and decades of law no longer apply to the federal government is not how this works. The president said he wants to protect everyone in this latest proposal is just one being looked at. A lot of Different Things happening, transgender, and looking at it seriously. Reporter hhs is trying to do its job and follow the law. Their role is to keep policies going that are out there to help the public. A stated policy on sex or gender, in that case trying to uphold the law that already exists. A decision on this proposal if it does move forward isnt expected until late this year at the soonest. What exactly is the Trump Administration considering . What does this mean . Ethan bearman and tony perkins from the research council, welcome to you both. I want to play more from the national lgbt task force. Dehumanizing those you do not like is the hallmark of an authoritarian government. Reporter the group added the court, science, medicine and civil human rights leaders are united in the definition of gender, sex, gender, identity, gender expression engendered dissemination a matter what trump and the administration does or says. The site they are all on the same page. The Trump Administration is simply addressing the lawlessness of the Obama Administration and restoring the law. Congress in 1964 and in 1972 addressed the issue of sex discrimination. You cannot tell me in the minds of congress they were thinking of gender identity and all the stuff we are saying today. If this is a problem they should change the law. What the Obama Administration did is unilaterally changed the definition to the gender identity term. The Trump Administration is restoring the law. Shannon they also said they dont comment on a leaked document, commenting on anything about that but they said the broad definition of sex on a federal court in december 2016 and the Obama Administration did not appeal. The court order remains in full force in effect today and hhs is bound by it as we review the issue. What do you make of that explanation . Everybody does deserve to be treated with respect. I disagree with tony and the hhs, they are split on gender orientation. On the civil rights act. We could go back 1000 years and egyptians had 3 genders identified. This is not something new, not out of the blue. It is identified more than the binary nature of gender as defined in our bible that tony and i read and broader than that and hour laws are here to protect those who are minorities and can be discriminated against. To talk about this definition, for federal law. Before the midterms absolutely not and we will see what happens november 6th. It will be a bigger issue in a blue wave but the most important thing, we recognize the wrongs of the meeting and minimizing minorities, starts with slaves who were freed, the reconstruction amendments to allow women to vote and civil rights. Lets grant them. Whether it is on the southern border or Elementary School bathrooms and in terms of civil rights, everyman, woman or child has Constitutional Rights but what we are seeing by a policy put in place without act of congress we are putting people at risk, denying people equal protection under the law, going to battered shelters, we would force them under Government Policies the house with biological men, and congress will deal with it. Shannon we will see what happens. Thanks for a good discussion on this. A massive manhunt for suspected cops killer tonight. Shann heather confirming an explosive device near the home of progressive billionaire activist george soros was a bomb squad detonated the device. Soros was not home at the time. In Atlanta Police officer gunned down triggering a massive manhunt and the suspect is dead as well.

But chairs describes tony is a jovial person dedicated to his job and dedicated to his community. Shannon he is truly a hero. From when hero to another.
