With his children and courts, one daughter crying he said, at one time he would take a bullet for his old boss. He was no longer wiling to cover up what he described as the president s dirty deed.

On capitol hill, mixed reactions to a sentencing. Two months for lying to congress over 2016 trump moscow real estate project. Any time when your former lawyer goes to jail, it is not a good day. It is pretty striking development, a moment for reflection for some of my republican colleagues. They have steadfastly insisted there is nothing to worry about. This former National Security advisor mike flynn will be sentenced next week for lying to federal investigators. His legal team asked d. C. Judge tuesday night for probation and 200 hours of community service. According to the filing, former fbi Deputy DirectorAndrew Mccabe who was later fired for cause, called him at short notice in january 2017. He sent two agents including peter strzok to interview him about his conversation with the russia ambassador. The filing says he does not have a lawyer present, the agents did not warn him that false statements during the interview could be prosecuted. By contrast, his lawyers had other Trump Associates were advised of the serious nature of the probe. Arguing for no jail time, his lawyer say his military service and extensive cooperation, including 62 hours of meetings and the production of thousands of records, as for Michael Cohen, he will continue to work with the governments. Bret thank you. The president has yet to respond to seeing his former lawyer sentenced to three years in prison. Chief White House Correspondent john roberts is on the north lawn. Everyone is watching twitter for reaction. So far nothing today. Ahead of the sentencing, President Trump was all over the place urging the judge to throw the book at him. On the day that he learned of his fate, from the white house, crickets. And his only public event today signing an Opportunity Zone initiative, President Trump made no mention of Michael Cohen. Even on twitter he was oddly silent. The president s outside counsel, Rudy Giuliani winking on the sentence saying his claim of lying to make Blind Loyalty laughable considering his mike he secretly recorded trump. He leaked that tape to the media while they admitted the payments to Catherine Mcdougall and Stormy Daniels were meant to influence the election, giuliani insisted they were private transactions and not a campaign expense. He is supposed to know what to do, the president said. That is what you rely on people for a period that is what you pay lawyers for. President trumpeted way in today on the terror attack in strasburg. Fitting into Border Security, tweeting, another very bad terror attack in france. We are going to strengthen our borders even more. Chuck and nancy must give us the vote to give Additional Border security. The last time you shut it down. And then you opened it very quickly. After yesterdays contentious oval Office Battle over wall funding, mike pompeo used the strasburg attack an apparent act of homegrown terror to push for Border Security. That is why a Border Security matters, the these are related issues. There are fewer people that the fbi and sheriffs offices, places have to monitor and watch. On china, President Trump said he made possibly intervene in the case of mom lawn june, the executive arrested in canada last week. The president telling writers, if i think it is good for the contrary, if i think it is good for what will be the largest trade deal ever made, i would certainly intervene if i thought it was necessary. The secretary of state was asked on fox and francis morning, whether the president would go over the heads of Law Enforcement to save a trade deal. We always have to balance american interest. Anytime there is a Law Enforcement engagements, we have to make sure we take Foreign Policy and consideration into effect. It is totally appropriate to do so. Tonight we can take one more list of the possible list of names, to replace john kelly. The chief of staff, North Carolina congressman mark meadows in a statement, Sarah Huckabee sanders saying, the president told him we need to mend congress so he can continue the great work he is doing there.

When House Minority leader nancy pelosi is not sparring with President Trump, she is trying to corral support from democrats in the house. Correspondent peter doocy reports from capitol hill on her plans to try to limit the 10year of leadership. Nobody ever mustered up the courage to challenge Nancy Pelosis climb to speaker. It was so inspiring to hear my colleagues placed my name and the nomination. If she wins, nancy pelosi will be there for long. She is trying to term limit herself to win the support of Incoming Freshman who won a promise to pursue new leadership. Political reports there could be a three term max for the top tier of leadership, her office says there are various conversations about a path forward, progress has been made in the conversations are constructed because all involved care about the institution of the house of representatives. There are 40 new members and they are looking at the future and sang, i will never be a chair. That is probably the case because there are no term limits. She tries to shorten the length of the leadership, she is going to get some pushback from the second highest ranking democrats. And coming House Majority leader, they were asked how you feel about miss pelosi trying to negotiate term limits . He said, she is not negotiating for me. Has she kept you in conversation . He said, no. Some newer members are siding with nancy pelosi. And the endless person in the team right now for the democrats, i want to see more young people. More young people at the table, term limits is one way to do that. Even if this falls apart, nancy pelosi is in prime position to be elected speaker anyway. She sealed the deal yesterday on Live Television when she was able to skillfully show how effective she can be dealing with a very erratic and irrational president. Some current democratic lawmakers are telling fox tonight that Nancy Pelosis plan has no points. Even if it shortens her time as speaker a little, it still lets her stay on for now. There are some democratic members of congress that want her gone now. Bret peter, and other efforts up there on the hill. The Senate Taking some steps tonight to try and condemn saudi arabia after the journalist jamal khasoggi. Right now on the senate floor, lawmakers are debating something that would punish saudi arabia by pulling american support for troops fighting in yemen civil war, that is backed by saudi arabia. The resolution has been around since before he was killed, the deal primarily as with the act and sponsored by mike lee and independent Bernie Sanders. Mitch mcconnell is telling republicans to vote no, he supports a separate measure cosponsored by republican senator bob corker. He thinks that wood is a better job of addressing the broader concerns about saudi arabia, blamed by u. S. Intel agencies of being complicit or worse in the murder of the journalist, jamal khasoggi. Bret peter, thank you. Joining me now is the cosponsors of that senate bill, Bernie Sanders. Thank you for being here. My pleasure. Bret why is this important . It is vital that everyone in america understands what is going on in yemen now. It is the worst humanitarian crisis facing this planets. We are talking about in the last three years as a result of the saudi led intervention in the yemen civil war. We are talking about 85,000 children already starved to death. We are talking about imminent starvation for millions more. We are talking about 10,000 cases of cholera making out every single week. Were talking about a generation of yemens children who will be stunted, physically and intellectually because of the famine that is now in existence. We have to and thats. Furthermore, i think we have to say, the saudi government which is a despotic government, which allows no consents, which treats women as third class citizens. We will not follow their military adventurism into yemen. The last point as to why it is important and people like senator mike lee, conservatives are making this and progressives. For decades on the republican president and democratic president s, Republican Congress and Democratic Congress is, the congress of the United States has advocated its constitutional responsibility over warmaking. It is not the president who has ears possibility under the constitution to send our troops. It is congress. We have to take it back. Bret Mitch Mcconnell mentioned that with the executive branch over war powers, this may spark from his point of view. I want to talk about President Trump last night on the issue of yemen. He said, i am much more open to yemen because frankly i hate to see what is going on in yemen. It takes two to tango. I want to see iran pullout of yemen and i think they will. This is a question, they launched more than 200 missiles into saudi arabia. How would you propose to deal with that . The issue is not only getting u. S. Out of the war led by saudi arabia. We have to do everything in our power and we have the power to bring the saudis and the with these together to end the incredible destruction which is taking place. There is no doubt about it. They are playing a very bad role in yemen as well. I think most experts will tell you that the bulk of the destruction has been caused by the saudis. The bottom line is, we have got to end that war, not perpetuated. We have got to work with the rest of the world and provide humanitarian aid to the children of the country who are now starving to death. Bret senator sanders, here is a secretary of state today on the murder of jamal khasoggi. The saudis have already paid the price. The folks who actually committed the murder, we held them accountable. We will continue to do that. No one underestimates how horrible this murder was. Remember, iran is running rampant throughout the middle east. The death of anyone is awful. The death of hundreds of thousands of people in europe or the middle east for the United States that theres an awful lot. President trump is committed to protecting america. Bret the question is, if this relationship falters, do you risk changing the National Security outlook for the middle east from the u. S. National Security Point of view . No. Above and beyond the humanitarian disaster in yemen right now, let me be very clear. We have been in afghanistan for 17 years now. I do not want to see the United States get sucked into a never ending war, costing us our brave men and women in the military and trillions more dollars. To get sucked into a middle eastern war between saudi arabia and the other hand, iran. What we need to do is use something to bring these people together and say, we are not spending trillions of dollars more. We will help bring peace to that entire region. Bret i want to talk about two more topics. The president says that there is a shut down, he is fighting for Border Security and he will take that because he wants 5 billion to fund a wall. Do you think this can get done . Number two, do you think the Border Security is important . I think Border Security is enormously important, i think building a wall is a very costly and inefficient way to do that. Im not alone. Many experts think given the technology we have, we can protect our border without building the wall and spending 5 billion. Furthermore, im not quite sure. Im not quite sure that he has the votes in the house to do that. Bret and 2013 you voted for comprehensive immigration. That included 18 billion for a wall and Border Security. Your sandy 5 billion is a nonstarter . You 5 billion as part as tense of billions more for a while. What im saying right now, sometimes you vote for things that are part of a broad package. If you are asking me at a time where we had veterans slipping on the street, people are not making it on social security. That is a good investment to build a wall . No, it is not a good investment. Bret i want to end with this. Your party, where do you think the energy is in your party . Is it towards your Progressive Side of the party . You think the party is in searc search . Moveon. Org had a poll yesterday, the top five leading as a candidate potentially as beto orourke and then joe biden and then you. They obviously supported you throughout 2016 significantly. Are you concerned that the party is changing . The party just won 40 seats in the house of representatives and seven governors. I think it is not just a party. It is that conservatives and progressives understand that something is wrong we have a dysfunctional health care system. We should have health care for all. We should raise the minimum wage. We should rebuild our crumbling infrastructure. We should end the greed of the pharmaceutical industry. They are charged with the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs. That is with the American People want. Im going to do my best to push an agenda that addresses those and many other issues. Bret can a texas congressman who lost the senate bid win your partys nomination . I think it is a little bit premature. We have we have some time left before that. Bret when we get your decision . When he will take on wall street in the Trunk Companies and take on the insurance companies, before decide that i want to run i have to make sure that there is that grassroots support. If there is, i will run and if there isnt, i wont. We are taking on big time some of the most powerful special interests in this country. Bret senator sanders, we appreciate your time.

Bret brexit continues to cause chaos in the United Kingdom is theresa may the Prime Minister faced a noconfidence vote this afternoon. The conservative leader survived but that only solves one problem. Senior Foreign Affairs correspondent greg palkot has the rough road ahead. U. K. Prime minister theresa may lives politically despite another day. 48 members of the parliament from her own conservative party forced a vote of no confidence which would have booted her out of the Prime Minister drop as well as the party leadership. With her handling of britains exit from the european union, or brexit. Some conservatives out the deal that she had worked out of the u. K. Too close to the e. U. In the end, 200 lawmakers voted to keep her in office, hundred 17 to kick her out. The result of the ballot till this evening is that the Parliamentary Party does have confidence. Despite a third of her colleagues fighting against her, the Prime Minister was pleased and determined. Here is our renewed mission, delivering the brexit that people voted for. Bringing the country back together, and building a country that truly works for everyone. She is not out of the woods, a vote on the brexit has to be postponed until next month for lack of support on all sides. The time for delay and this is over the Prime Minister has negotiated her deal, she told us it is the best and only deal available. There can be no more excuses. No more running away. In the meantime they will look for any sweetener she can get from the year european lea. Ive had for a while that people who dont like this deal be to take and think very carefully and with the alternatives are. The clock is dealing. There are no assurances she will wrap it up by then. They could lead to a no deal brexit, a second referendum on the e. U. Bret tonights vote does mean that theresa may is safe in her Prime Minister job for another year. She is also reportedly promised that she will not seek another term in office after this one ends. Which is in 2022, that is a lifetime. Bret live in london, thank you. Up next, the battle between the u. S. And china is not just about trade. We will explain. First, beyond our borders tonight.

Turkey plans to launch a new military operation against u. S. Backed kurdish fighters in syria within a few days. U. S. Troops are deployed with kurdish fighters in syria, and part to prevent clashes with turkey. The turkish president says the target is not the american soldiers, but what they call, terror organizations. Dozens of north and south korean soldiers travel through the Demilitarized Zone together today to inspect the sides of the bibles frontline guard post, they are they been removed. Soldiers from the two koreas exchanged cigarettes and chatted as they inspected 22 guard post, 11 from each country inside the dmz. The removals are mostly symbolic.

Dont take mavyret with atazanavir or rifampin, or if youve had certain liver problems. Common side effects include headache and tiredness. With hep c behind me, i feel free. Fearless. And theres no looking back, because i am cured. Talk to your doctor about mavyret. Bret the dow finished the day ahead 157 after being up more than 400 points and one point during this day. The s p 500 jumped 14 and the nasdaq rose 66. In part because trade negotiations with china appeared to be making some progress. For the president and the administration and obviously for the markets. The wall street journal reports beijing as scratching edits made and china policy. In favor of one that allows greater access for foreign companies. Nothing is official yet. With a new Program Expected to launch early next year. China has praised the decision to release the chief Financial Officer on bail, the u. S. Sought the arrest on suspicion that he misled banks about his business dealings and iraq. This plays out of course as the u. S. And china battle over the future of telecoms and their trade relationship. Tonight correspondent Gillian Turner explains what whe future could look like. Chinese conglomerate is a Global Leader in the tech industry. One of the u. S. Tech sectors arch rivals in the race for the future of 5g. 5g promises to bring lightning speed Cellular Connection to web users worldwide. The type of connection needed to power all the Game Changing innovation of the future. Artificial intelligence, wireless drones and selfdriving cars. While the u. S. Has long had the lead, cyber experts say chinese experts and developers and Telecom Equipment makers are catching up. China is transitioning from being a klepto economy where they steal intellectual property and other capabilities, to actually be to innovate on their own. Whoever dominates 5g cats the keys to the kingdom. The relationship between the United States and china for the foreseeable future is going to be decisively defined by the Technology Development with each country. Officials caught should china overtakes the u. S. And any tech domain it will also jeopardize the National Security interests. Have very Large Company founded by someone from the chinese military. It is frightening that as a second largest purveyor of telephones, any one of those telephones can have a listening device for the chinese governments. At least some bleeding tech insiders say the future of 5g isnt a winner takes all game. It is a technological step and it is important and the chinese are going to have companies that do it and the americans Love Companies that do it. Other companies will have the same. We of a choice through the process to use technology that we feel is safe. Cyber experts are the first fave of 5g is late to go out next year 2019. Itll be available in austin, texas, new york and then will be integrated across the United States. Bret thank you. Up next, doctors release the symptoms of the illness of american diplomats in cuba. Theyre now trying to solve this mystery. I cant believe it. That grandpas nose is performing flight of the bumblebee . No, you goof. I cant believe how easy it was to save hundreds of dollars on my Car Insurance with geico. Nice. I know, right . [nose plays a jazzy saxophone tune] believe it. Geico could save you 15 or more on Car Insurance. Bret a bipartisan bill has just been agreed to by the leaders of the senate rules committee, the bill would preform the process for claims of workplace harassment and discrimination in congress. Republican senator and democrat Amy Klobuchar called for quick passes by both houses. The bill would remove waiting periods allowing a victim who immediately pursue administrative hearing or foul a civil action. Members of congress would be held personally liable for settlements including members who leave office. The mystery continues over the illness of american diplomats in cuba. Doctors found damage to the inner ear of the diplomats who were examined, shortly after the officials complained of weird noises and sensations. The cause remains unknown, officially. Investigators may be closer to pinning it down. Correspondent phil keating has details. Do you think we were attacke attacked . I dont know. The Havana Health attack remains an enigma, two years cuba denies doing or knowing anything about. In 2016 and 17, two dozen employees and family members stationed in havana started complaining of a mysterious malady, dizziness, insomnia, headaches, buzzing sounds and a sensation of pressure changes. Microwaves have been mentioned as possibilities, they remain unproven. It is hard to imagine that this just arrived by chance and all these individuals. We are not saying what caused it, we are cement a bunch of people came from the same place and had the same symptoms. Placed these goggles on your face. The university of miami in pittsburgh treated and studied almost all of the patience, the rotary chair tested the inner ear functions, 92 had dizziness and ear pain. Doctors also measure their cognitive performance with goggles measuring their eye movement and reaction speed. 56 had cognitive disabilities. The Research Findings today conclude something either deliberate or accidental, did happen. You think about toxins, you think about directed energy and all modalities. All these things that you have seen our possibilities. A state Department Spokesperson on background tells fox news, given the focus on the u. S. Diplomatic immunity and havana as well as the scope and duration of incidents, the department has categorized the events in havana as a tax. The u. S. Government investigation into these attacks continues. As a direct result of this unexplained phenomenon, the u. S. Presence in havana is not significantly reduced. Curiously, at least ten roommates of these patience and havana suffered no symptoms at all. Bret phil keating and miami, thank you. In a speech to the United Nations today, mike pompeo told World Leaders the iron nuclear deal shielded that country from accountability. The danger from iran he said, continues to grow. Correspondent rich edson has the latest from a state department. United states will never stand for this. No nation that puts that in the middle east should either. Since 2015 nuclear agreement, iran has developed its program, defied multiple International Resolutions and exploited the goodwill of nations. That is according to secretary of state mike pompeo. Pushing the United NationsSecurity Council to restore stronger restrictions against irans Ballistic Missile program. The regime is pursuing the same destructive, revolutionary goals that it has for the past 39 years. Except now, it has more money to achieve them. Thanks to the nuclear deal. The secretary also advised against lifting an embargo on iran and recommended the Security Council establish inspections and port and at sea to thwart iranian arms exports. Mike pompeo says iran has the largest Ballistic Missile in the middle east, exports in yemen and transfers them to iraq the Security Council report also says the u. N. Examine launch units, the Saudi Led Coalition discovered in yemen and found that characteristics of iranian manufacturing from 2016 and 2017. We take very seriously what the iranians are doing in terms of activities, in terms of terrorism, in terms of aggression. We are ready to work with the americans on that. The european governments as they oppose the Trump Administration withdraw from the iron nuclear deal and restoration of the sanctions against iran. Believe he has done so. Its remains critical for National Security. Secretary pompeo acknowledges the administration has a different view of the iron nuclear deal, he says United States will maintain a sanctions against iran until there is a tangible and sustained shift in the policies. Bret thank you. President trumps former attorney, Michael Cohen is sentenced to jail time today. Plus, more fox news polls. The allstar panel joins me after a quick break to analyze the days headlines. Your brain changes as you get older. But prevagen helps your brain with an ingredient originally discovered. In jellyfish. In clinical trials, prevagen has been shown to improve shortterm memory. Prevagen. Healthier brain. Better life. Any time a former lawyer of years goes to jail, it is not a good thing. I get to see the evidence from him of collusion. That is what started the speed and investigation. He picked Michael Cohen one. Michael cohen never had a good lead of reputation. He never had the reputation of someone who was a good lawyer. He was a bit of a saga. I bet in the heart of hearts, President Trump regrets ever associating himself with mr. Cohen. It looks to me like he is a gangster. Bret the former lawyer, he was sentenced to three years in prison. That is for tax evasion, making false statements and also Campaign Violations. In addition he was ordered to pay a fine of 50,000, 500,000 for food. He agreed to march as a date. Last night this afternoon he said Michael Cohen is a lawyer. I assume he would know what he is doing, number one. There wasnt a campaign contribution, if it was it was only civil. Even if its only a simple, there was no violation. The stuff youre talking about is peanuts. He is talking about the payments to his alleged mistresses that obviously took pardon and pled guilty to lying about. Lets bring in our panel. Cap anson, editor in matthew continetti, editor in chief at the beginning. You heard senator graham say it is not a great day one year personal lawyer faces three years in prison. Your thoughts on this day and the big picture . As the president once said, this is a very big not good. When your long time, not time to mark just lawyer but confidant and fixer for years goes to jail on multiple counts. You are not going to chalk that up as a good day. I think senator graham was may be under plain that bit. The Bigger Picture rather for the president and the presidency here, does any of this mean that the president is in legal peril himself . That comes on i think to the word intense. From the president s interview that he gave that we just quoted, he has been paying people off throughout his adult life. He is just continuing that pattern, he may have had no clue that that was a Campaign Finance violation just because he was running for president. He may be relied on his attorney to tell him such things and perhaps his attorney was quite a bad lawyer. Whether this cohen side is really bad for trump, i think very much remains to be seen. Bret it is possible that he is going to try to reduce the sentence from what it is by may be cooperating further with the special counsel. A list that appears to be with the special counsels wishes. But he cups up or information. If not, there isnt a collusion element to this. There is nots. This is the Campaign Finance violation. This is a completely separate thing from collusion so far from what we saw today. What we have seen from cohen. It is not even coming from mueller or the special counsel, edges coming from the district of new york. The District Attorney of someone that President Trump himself appointed. This is his own Justice Departments. Implicating the president and the commission of a felony. Of a federal crime. That is a pretty big deal. That is a pretty big, not good. I get his point about intent. As many people have said and the past, ignorant of the law is not an excuse. This is a serious violation of federal law and we now have not just Michael Cohen one, but david packer, the ceo of ami, National Choir who is directly implicating the president. Bret other people pointed the john edwards case, what the ftc said about that with the court case said, saying it was not a Campaign Finance violation. That is right and they couldnt convict him in the end. Heres the question, for almost 50 years, the Justice Department guidance that a sitting president cannot be indicted. When you look at all these filings and documents from the Attorney Office, from the Attorney Office in new york, you see them laying the groundwork for a potential indictment of a sitting president. One has to wonder, are they actually going to defy president and do that and indict a sitting president . If they do, they will certainly cause, they will precipitate the crisis that weve been worrying about for two years. If they dont, this is another mild irritant i think to trump. Bret it is also a decision for House Democrats will be handed something eventually, they will have to decide whether to go forward with impeachment or not. There is a constitutional, legal and political test that we are about to face. Does the Justice Department choose to revise its longstanding position . If not, does this open the door to impeachment . Does this open the door to a political and more than irritant if there is evidence of the president committing a crime, heading into election cycle, that burnett be the best thing for him. I want to make one point on the john edwards correlation, there is one big difference. None of edwards is coconservators ever said that yes, they did it. Here you have at least two individuals saying yes, we did it and we did at the direction of the president. That is a much different thing that goes directly to the question. Bret it is also about whether in fact the violation was a real violation. They came to the conclusion that it wasnt. Here you people saying, this was done to protect the president , the candidates and the campaign. Bret i want to talk about these poles. There are a lot of them. The president s approval rating, 46 . Disapproved 52 . It hasnt changed very much at all, in fact it is pretty strong considering all that weve been covering. Heres number two, his handling of the economy and Border Security, health care is the least there is based on the midterm elections. People are very concerned about that. This is the other thing, 2020, if the vote were held today, this is all voters, definitely reelected trump you say 30 . Among 2020 trump voters, you have 84 saying they will definitely or probably reelect President Trump. What are your thoughts on that . If he wants to get reelected, he needs 2 to went over more n those voters. His disapproval of rating in november, almost perfectly correlated with the percentage of the socalled national houseboat the democrats won. It is not a perfect metric but it is pretty darn close. He clearly needs to expand his appeal and to support. That being said, the good news is 2 30 nine and 55 number, that is up against no one. Elections are choices and if the democrats put someone up there who is vulnerable, he will get his licks in and punch it out. Those numbers obviously can change very significantly. Bret Bernie Sanders was on the show a few minutes ago. Take a lesson. When he will take on wall street and the Drug Companies and you will take on the insurance companies, before decide that i want to run, i have to make sure that there is that grassroots support. If there is, i will run. If there isnt, i wont. Bret are fox news poll as him and number two position of excellent or good beyond joe biden. Are you see warren. Beto orourke, he is doing well.
