Transcripts For FOXNEWSW The Daily Briefing With Dana Perino 20180726

The act of separating those children from their parents has its a bad thing, a very bad thing. It has consequences on those children. How can you answer for that . Dana Casey Stegall is live in dallas. Will the federal government meet todays deadline . The federal judge overseeing the case and implemented the deadline thinks so based on the numbers hes been presented with. It depend on how you look at the numbers. Right now more than 1,000 reunions have already taken place between kid ages 517 and that was ahead of todays deadline. Court documents show another 500 have been cleared and are awaiting transport. The u. S. District judge said the federal governments work has to be highlighted and commended with their efforts to link children with their families. The aclu and other immigration lawyers feel differently. I wouldnt want to commend someone for a terrible crime. Its good theyre back together. Shouldnt have been done in the first place. At least 900 children, a little more than that number, will not be reunited though in time to meet todays deadline deemed ineligible by the u. S. Government that includes more than 450 cases as we know of parents that have already been deported without their children. Dana what is the justice departments response to the criticism . Kirstjen nielsen tells Fox News Channel that this policy hats been giving parents a choice of leaving the country with or without their child when theyre in deportation proceedings. Immigration Rights Groups allege that many were misled by federal authorities. Perhaps told things that they could get their children back faster by signing the paper going to their home country and trying there. In court, the judge said that this was fallout from a policy that lacked forethought with regard to keeping track of people. Kirstjen nielsen says that wasnt the case. Listen. We had a plan. I think what we found in the midst of the plan, we had these intervening court cases. Its possible for folks to recognize, we really want to protect the children. Secretary nielsen claiming in the interview with bret baier that she denied the zero tolerance enforcement was rolled out as a deterrent to try to scare Illegal Immigrants from coming and trying to enter the country illegally, dana. Thank you, casey. Lets bring in royce murray. Shes policy director at the American Immigration council and stephen camarota. Thanks for being here. Stephen, i know you follow this closely, the government trying to meet the court deadlines. What do you think that the government has learned from this that they will try to do in the future as the president wants a stronger enforcement on the border but this backfired on them . Yeah. Everybody agrees the way to handle this is to detain the family together. We have done that in the past. There are some Court Rulings that make that difficult and Congress Needs to step in and clarify the law. Thats the way to do it. The other thing, which is release people once they claim asylum, youll get more asylum applicants. The vast majority dont qualify for asylum but you have to release them. Right now we have over 300,000 asylum cases and the reason that happened, these are the pending cases, there was a 19 fold, not 19 , 19 fold increase in the number of applicants in recent years precisely because everybody realized that they were released. It was a get out of jail free card. The loop hole was being exploited. So the solution is to hold everyone and process them quickly. Since most of them people dont qualify, we should send them back as a family unit to their country quickly. That would deter claims in the future and let us get to the real claims and mostly solve this problem, which is a difficult one. Royce, the judge today said the government should be commended for their work in reunifying the families. 917 children not able to be unified because the parents being deported. That was about 450 people that Casey Stegall just reported. Were very much looking forward to the end of the deadline to so how many families have been reunited. Many hundreds have already been deported. The coercion that has existed in this process has been profound. These parents, i was down in el paso speaking with detained parents two weeks ago. We spoke with dozens of parents. Nobody had any information at the time they were being asked to sign paperwork. No consultations with lawyers, information was not presented in a language that they could understand and they didnt get copies of papers. So we have to make sure that any families that have not been reunited or any parents deported without children have done so willing will and knowingly. Right now we dont think thats the case. Dana steve, congress leaves today, theyre in session a total of 15 days before the midterms isnt there any legislation introduced that you think could have a hope and a prayer of passing some of these issues . Its hard to see. Just came out of Homeland Security committee, they want to roll back this policy completely and institute catch and release. Congressman yoder from kansas led this amendment being put on that would say people, who everyone agrees, dont have a good asylum claim would still be released if they say look, theres Gang Violence in my country or domestic abuse. That doesnt qualify people for asylum but theyd still be released in the United States, which the democrats push and congressman yoder let that go through. Could basically be reopening this back door into the United States. I assume thats not going to go through on the full floor. But thats the kind of thing going on in congress. Its very troubling. Dana royce, that decision that Jeff Sessions made to change what you can apply for asylum with did put more pressure on the border so more people tried to cross illegally because they thought if they were chased by a gang in their home country, we could go to mark. That changed. Maybe they were separated from their children. This is a big mess. Do you think theres any appetite for the United States to pull together to do more at the source to help with Law Enforcement issues in their home country so they dont feel like they have to flee anywhere else . I think the attorney general has rolled back protections that existed in our law to protect people flying from problems like Gang Violence or from domestic violence. In fact yesterday there was bipartisan support for actually halting the implementation of that guidance and also not necessarily detaining families but rather putting them on alternatives to detention, which are more humane, less costly and just as effective at getting people to comply. We can control our borders but also have compassion. I loved having to two of you on. Thoughtful and informed. Stephen and royce, thank you. Thank you. Dana a fox news alert. The markets reacting today as President Trump speaks about his sucks says with the president of the European Union. The president promising to hold off on tariffs for imported vehicles while the e. U. Will purchase more liquefied gas from the United States. This is deidra bolton to explain it all. This could be a big winwin. If we sell more liquefied natural gas to europe, you have two big american businesses that could gain and maybe even more we know that the secretary of energy, rick perry, is at one of these facilities in maryland. The other big one is in louisiana. What does europe get . Less dependency on russia. Weve seen how fickle russia can be. They use energy as a weapon. Yes. 2006, 2007, 2014, all of those were horribly cold winters. They turned off the taps in june 2014. People in the ukraine were actually dying. Russia just said, you know, you owe us close to 2 billion. Europe would love to decrease their independence on russian gas. Right now they have a 35 market share. So from the european perspective, they would rather work with america. On our side, we just have to produce more and export more. A lot of analysts say if we invest in this, we could be the top exporter for liquefied natural gas. Dana thats remarkable. The agreement they made is to stop the war of words. Stop hiding. Yeah. Dana and theres benefit to that. Of course. Dana our allies should push together against china. Where will this go from here . Yes. The agreement is to stop fighting. As far as the liquid file natural gas goes, the u. S. Suppliers have to the problem is we can get better prices for that product in asia. You just referenced china. Chinese manufacturing is just eating the world. So they love that liquefied natural gas. The Bigger Picture take away, listen, we worked something out with europe. Well talk about nafta as far as canada and mexico goes. We heard from Steve Mnuchin saying largely we have a frame work. We were able to kind of find Common Ground with europe. Theres no reason why we cant do so with our neighbors. Dana at least we stopped fighting in public. Tell me about facebook. Down 20 . Bringing other people down with it. Facebook is somewhat isolated, which i think is an interesting market story. Yeah, its lost 120 billion in market cap. But you have to have a stock with this much heft and weight to see this move. Facebook is i know they missed their revenue target. I dont own the stock. Theyre still going to grow. Grow at the 30 range instead of 40 . Theres a ton of businesses that would take that kind of growth any day. I feel like it was a kitchen sink quarter. They got the bad news out of the way to hear the analysts sweating over the telephone. Its a very clever p. R. If you felt the hot breath of regulators on your next, youd say look how much were trying to make our platform more stable dana and you should say it in a voice like that. Tone matters a lot. Yeah, its like oh, were suffering and were not getting richer as the click ticks. Dana meanwhile yeah. Dana thank you, deidra. President trump calms tensions with europe. Now theres growing concerns among farmers that makes up a big part of his base. Josh explains how this is affecting the president s Approval Ratings in some swing states. We know in america if we have free and fair trade so theres no barriers, no Tariff Barriers and no subsidies, that we can win. The american farmer, the american manufacturer crosses everybody when the Playing Field is fair and level. Before you can achieve a higher standard of craftsmanship, you need a higher standard of craftsman. See for yourself at the lexus golden opportunity sales event.

The New York Times now reporting that Robert Mueller is looking at the ups tweets about former fbi director james comey and Jeff Sessions. Mueller apparently examining the tweets for possible obstruction of justice. The newspaper adding that he wants to question the president about the tweets. The president s attorney, rudy guliani, is reportedly dismissing muellers interest in the tweets as part of an effort to bring down the president. The European Union is going to start almost immediately to buy a lot of soy beans. This will open markets for farmers and workers, increase investment and lead to greater prosperity in the United States and the European Union. It will also make trade fairer and more reciprocal. My favorite word, reciprocal. Dana President Trump backing off on his trade threats against the e. U. Following a meeting with the president of the commission yesterday. This comes as support for the president drops in key battleground states. The wall street journal poll showing trumps approval at 36 in michigan, 36 in wisconsin. Joining me now, Josh Kraushar from the national journal. Was the president looking for a way out as he was feeling pressure from members of congress that are nipping at his heels . It sure sounded like that, dana. When you have a senator like ron johnson from wisconsin, the midwest, one of the bigger trump allies in the senate comparing trumps trade war with like the soviet union during the 20s, you know youre having trouble from your own biggest supporters. You look at those numbers from the nbc poll. You know, being in the mid 30s in two states that he carries, he talked about wisconsin and only polling in the mid 30s right now. Dropping significantly. You have to worry if youre President Trump. You have to hold your base. On trade, theres fresh signs that hes losing a lot from his biggest supporters. Dana in tennessee, Marsha Blackburn, the congresswoman from tennessee that is running for senate, she wrote this yesterday. We fully appreciate that these countries have had a trade war against us for years and its time that somebody stands up. With that said, it causes us tremendous concern. This trade issue in tennessee is really heating up in the senate race. The democrat, a popular guy, Phil Bredesen is inching up in the polls. Yeah. We have these unusual circumstances where democrats are trying to outconservative republicans on trade, which we havent seen in a generation. So you have in tennessee. Jack daniels is a big job employer with whiskey in tennessee. Theyre getting concerned about the trade war. Theyre putting pressure on Marsha Blackburn in her senate race. So Phil Bredesen, the former governor, a pro business democrat, has been campaigning on free trade. He says he opposes the trump tariffs. In missouri, claire mccaskill, a liberal red state senator, is trying to run to the right of josh holly and a big battle in that stay on trade as well. So you have a very tip topsyturvy landscape where trump is running to the populous side on trade and the conservative candidates trying to figure things out. Dana and look at the quinnipiac poll with white voters agree, 49 . Its a 19point swing. Where does a president travel right before a midterm, it matters. The president is headed to dubuque, iowa. Why does that ring a bell for you . Hes in iowa, a republican district in illinois as well today. These are areas that were trump country. They swung dramatically from president obama to President Trump in 2016. Look at the congressional numbers. Theyre worrisome to republicans. Trump is trying to reassure the people that voted for him, some democrats as well, blue collar democrats, that all is well on the trade front. All is well on the economy front. But its concerning that you have to campaign in your strong holds. Dana if i could get a last word on something. A lot of people are led to believe that the democrats have run so far to the left, how could it be that somebody that voted by President Trump would be persuaded by them . You had a column saying dont be fooled. The democrats are smart about running moderates in those districts amount quick word. You have your alexandria cortez candidates. But quite a few moderates. Democrats have avoided the temptation to go to far to the left. Theyre nominating quite a few pragmatic candidates for the house and the senate. The republicans shouldnt be too cocky. Dana just so everybody is cleareyed about everything. Thanks, josh. Check out his against the grain podcast. He release as new one each thursday. Tough words from the republicans as they fight to retain their majority. What will need to happen . Karl rove is here with more. When my hot water heater failed it rocked our world. We called usaa.

Its threatening hundreds of homes in the san jacinto mountains. A new sign of potential problems out of north korea with fox news learning the remains of dozens of u. S. Soldiers should be returned starting tomorrow. The same day we mark 65 years since the signing of an armistice that ended hostilities in the korean war. Greg palkot is in london. Greg, this is very good news, especially for the families that waited so many years for this to happen. Absolutely, this is very good news, if it happens. We could be near an important step in mending the rift between north korea and the United States. A u. S. Official telling fox news that the remains of 55 u. S. Service members missing in north korea since the war could be transferred to south korea as early as friday morning korea time. Thats thursday night eastern time. The remains will be flown by u. S. Military aircraft to a base in south korea. They would be transported in wooden caskets, which have been handed over to the north koreans last month. Remains will be cataloged and flown over to a center in hawaii for final dna identification and returned home. The returned remains a major commitment by north Korean Leader kim jongun to President Trump at the summit in singapore last month. Some 5,300 u. S. Service members are missing in the north and a return of the remains have been halts in 2005. Dana people forget that, 5,300, thats a lot. How does this fit into the efforts to denuclearize . Yes, this is good faith. We talked about analysts looking at satellite photography saying facilities at a missile test site in north korea had been dismantled by the regime. Another good measure. Also comes after a trip by secretary state pompeo to pyongyang. It was less than forthcoming regarding denuclearization. Theres a lot of pressure on the Trump Administration to come up with the goods. If it happens tomorrow, very important. The 65th anniversary, the armistice. One final note as the u. S. Official warned us, its never over when its over with north korea. Were watching, hoping that it will come through this time. Dana a good reminder. Thank you, greg.

Dana republicans facing strong head winds for bat until the control of the house. Larry sabado know has 17 races learning to the left. How can the gop keep its majority . Our next guest says for starters, the president must turn their attention to independence, especially swing voters in suburban and rural districts that applaud his policies more than his behavior. Mr. Trump showed surprising discipline in the 2016 closing weeks. Karl rove here, chief of staff for george bush. I love when youre here. You said you have sobering news about the republicans. I thought in the last two weeks, republicans thought things were going so well. Yeah. Look. In some degree, they are. Larry and his people are very part. I started out by saying that they moved 17 races towards the democrats including adding eight republicans into the tossup category. They did it largely because of money. Democrats have had a good fundraising quarter. 7 of the 8 republicans that they moved to the tossup category have more can on hand. But theyre right on two things. One is that the generic ballot is going to wrong way. The end of may, it was 3. 2 gap for the democrats. If thats what it is only election day, republicans will keep the house. Today its eight points. The second point that i thought that they were right on, the president s job approval is not where it needs to be. Hes really popular among republicans, but his Approval Rating among independents is dropping to wind the fall elections, republicans cant do it with republicans only. They have to have republicans and swing voters. We had josh kraushaurr on earlier. He talked about minnesota and wisconsin and michigan. His approval numbers are bad in those areas. When you talk about the president needing to appeal to independents, are those the people youre talking about . Those are the kind of people were talking about. Were talking about swing voters that like his policies, dont like how he carries himself sometimes and have to be reminded what hes doing right. Number 1 in the recent polls is the economy. President , for example, in the nbc poll, 50 approve of his handling of the economy. 36 disapprove. 26 approve of handling his relationship with russia. So spend more time talking about the economy, what it is you intend to do to help make peoples lives better. The economy is good. This should be a recipe for victory. Dana you know how frustrating it is and you have a good economy and you want to get the message out. Theres many other things the media will ask you about. You have to be proactive. What the president is doing ott on the road with the people, talking about the economy, a great way not to talk about other things like russia. Can i ask you about jim jordan . The congressman from ohio. Threw a grenade into the speakers race announcing that he will run for speaker. Hes very articulate, very smart. He has two things going against him. One is that hes under a cloud right now, right or wrong with accusations that as a wrestling coach at ohio state, he was aware of Sexual Harassment and did nothing about it. He has to put that behind him. Republicans wont elect a speaker under that cloud. More practically, if youre a speaker, you have to raise money to keep your majority in space. Hes raised 442,000. Hes has a caucus a has raised less than 3 million. Dana how does that compare to Kevin Mccarthy who also announced he wants to run for speaker . Mccarthy said he raised 10 million this week towards the republican election chances. My sense is this is more about getting leverage, saying i control a block of votes in the House Freedom caucus. So you have to come to me and ill have a list of demands if you want our support. Its more about leverage. Dana one last question. The House Freedom caucus has about 40 minutes. After this midterm, you still think theyll have 40 members more or less . Some of their members are in difficulty. David brat is in difficulty. The effort to keep their members in, if the House Freedom Fund Performance is in the same place with 200,000 in your Campaign War Chest and a dozen or so members, they might have 40 total sympathizers but their actual membership is around 30. They have to do better if they hope to bring back some of their members. Dana thanks, karl. Thank you, dana. Dana the president is just finishing up a roundtable in iowa. Next up, granite city, illinois. He will tour a steel plant next hour. Leland vittert is there in granite city. A place that i have been. What message is the president bringing, leland . Hes going to say its probably nice to be in granite city. Theres a lot of nice folks here that are excited about the president s visit, none more so than the Steel Workers behind me. The president will tell you to look at the orange hard hats and the jackets, this is the 800 workers that the plant has begun to hire because they ramped up production thanks to the tariffs. Thats the good news the president will be talking about. Unclear, he will talk about the bad news, which we found out about 2 1 2 hours south here of st. Louis in a county that voted 79 for donald trump. The Tariffs Force add nail company to lay off 140 people because the price of their steel went up. They raised the price of nails. Executives say if they dont get a waiver, theyll close soon costing another 50 jobs. Were in crisis mode. And it gets worse. Worse. Theyre still making nails, but with this factory at 50 capacity, theyre losing money on everyone. Management doesnt know how long they can keep these folks employed at a loss. As we walked around the factory floor, Phillip Bennetts tool box grabbed our attention, this is his fiance. She has a congenital heart defect. Now the man that voted for trump is looking to a democratic senator to save his familys livelihood. Claire is here fighting for us. I havent seen the other guy do nothing. The other guy is josh holly, the Republican Attorney general taking to take on claire mccaskill, who wants a third term in the United States senate. Mccaskill has made the nail company a big part of her push. We visited an aluminum smelter that is starting thanks to tariffs. Theyll hire about 500 people. They agree with the president , that tariffs are great. They say theyre going to stand behind josh holly. We await the president , expect to hear a lot about promises made, promises kept, bringing back the heavy manufacturing jobs like steel, like aluminum to the United States. As for the workers down at the nail factory, they said they wish the president would visit them. They supported the president and they would look him to hear their story as well. Leland, thank you. I love your work. I appreciate it. The white house planning to address security in this years election. Will russia meddling come up . The president taking a hard line on iran.

The New York Times supports that Robert Mueller is digging through the president s tweets. Part of his investigation into possible obstruction and otherwise. Plus, the president set to speak in the next hour. Well have it on Shepard Smith reporting on fox news coming up. Dana the president talking tough on iran as Administration Officials meet to discuss their adversary. Tensions rising as mr. True and president rouhani have traded barbs. Im joined by morgan, just fresh in from d. C. Have you take a look to what secretary pompeo said about iran in his hearing. President trump has said that iran is not the same country it was five months ago. Thats because our campaign of testimony pressure, the withdrawal from the nuclear deal and our throw for support for the iranian people are having an impact. Dana morgan. Mere mortals like us are watching this. People like you know whats going on behind the scenes. Can you explain . What were seeing is severe economic pressure on iran. What is fascinating, youre seeing the administration over the past week take a very coordinated response to iran. I think theyre sensing vulnerability from the Iranian Regime. The past 18 months, youve seen teachers, union workers, veterans that are protesting because theyre not getting pensions paid. A lot of internal strife in iran. Since the United States pulled out of the agreement, youve seen the iranian decline at least 25 against the dollar. So what happens is, people are protesting saying wait a minute, when you got billions from the Obama Administration in relief, that would help the iranian people. Instead, what happened, dana, the Iranian Regime lined their pockets with this money and funded terrorism. So the people have had it. So what we really need and why the meeting was so important, we need the e. U. To get on board to get the sanctions back on place and completely cut the iranians off from the dollar and the financial structure around the world. Dana the National Security Council Meeting tomorrow again to talk about meddling in the elections. Heres what Kirstjen Nielsen said yesterday. We know they have the capability and we know they have the intent. Weve seen it in the foreign influence campaigns and their attempts to hack the elections. We have to be prepared. Well continue to work with the state and locals on the election infrastructure. We have to be very clear. The capability and the intent of the russians is there. Dana might give people some comfort to know theyre there working on this. Yes, the administration has to have a coordinated voice and what theyre doing to protect the elections. The white house knows whats going to happen. Russia, russia, russia questions. Theyre not the only threat. Often in washington, we forget about the Cyber Threats coming out of china and north korea. Dana and iran. And iran. Its not just russia. The Administration Needs one solid voice on this. Kirstjen nielsen did a fantastic job. The Administration Needs a face for who will who the president will part in charge for election security. There used to be a position at the nsc that is no longer there. Somebody needs to be the face and the calming influence saying we understand its happening, were not going to let people hack into our elections. Dana tell me how china did wrong by us yesterday. This is all the qualcomm deal that didnt get approved in china. People say this is due to the president s trade war. Probably. I think the much bigger think that is going on in congress is the president is very likely very soon going to sign a reform bill. People go what is that . This is a committee that determines when Foreign Countries can buy Critical Infrastructure in the u. S. , can do mergers acquisitions. Theres Nine Countries that had to approve this qualcomm deal. The chinese squashed the deal, this is huge geo political ramifications for the president and his trade war and huge and were trying to prevent the chinese from acquiring more important companies, technology in the u. S. So the chinese are fighting back. Dana the would say its not nice. You know what he means by that. Its a nice way of saying other things. Thanks, morgan. Thanks, dana. Dana the president opening a new front against the press. He disinvited a cnn reporter. Why the white houses argument may not hold up.

A cnn reporter trying to ask President Trump in the oval office about his former personal attorney, Michael Cohen and Vladimir Putin. In the process, stirring up a new controversy.

Dana howie, i played to show that the press is conditioned to know that the president is actually willing to keep answering questions as the press wranglers try to get the press out of the oval office.
