Transcripts For FOXNEWSW Your World With Neil Cavuto 20191022

There were real concerns an hour ago when the u. S. Brokered ceasefire was scheduled to end. There could be more fighting. This military offensive by turkey has created more than 170,000 displaced people. These are families mainly kurdish on the move trying to run from the fighting. Talents that became ghost towns in the last several hours. People trying to get away from what they thought could be a renewed turkish offensive. Thats not happening right now. It might not happen at all. In part due to the agreement between russia and turkey. Heres the turkish president. Translator both countries will adopt precautions against a leakage of terrorists and a joint mechanism will be established for the observation of the memorandum and its ordination. We are going to see in about six days time our joint patrols with the russian Government Forces and the syrian Government Forces under assad working together and patrolling the buffer zone about 18 miles deep into syria to make sure no kurdish fighters are in there. We have seen a real swing in momentum, prestige, and influence here between the u. S. And russia. U. S. Troops withdrawing monday and no Russian Troops filling the void. They negotiated the ceasefire agreement and they will enforce it with their own military on the ground. Neil, back to you. Neil thank you very much. Now to Jennifer Griffin at the pentagon, how they are responding. As soon as the convoy of roughly 100 American Military vehicles with u. S. Troops retreating from syria across the border into iraq, the they weret welcome. The u. S. Had hoped to reposition in iraq to monitor isis. Defense secretary mike asper was asked if u. S. Troops would be only deployed who pay the cost of them being there like saudi arabia. We are not a mercenary force. Mercenary forces do things for pay. The aim of the troops, the aim is to pull the soldiers out and eventually get them back home. That according to secretary esper. Asper added some u. S. Troops might stay at two bases in syria to watch the oil fields and prevent iran from filling the vacuum left by the u. S. Withdrawal. Will reposition as they come out of northeast syria into iraq. Eventually their destination is home. Weve got to do is pull them out deliberately out of northeast syria and make our preparations to go home from there and i will have that discussion tomorrow with the Iraqi Defense minister. The 120 hours ceasefire gave u. S. Forces cover while they withdrew across the border to iraq. So that they werent pulling out under fire. President erdogan of turkey and russian president Vladimir Putin met for six hours in sochi today and announced, as steve mentioned, turkish soldiers and russian shoulders will be conducting the joint patrols along the syrian border, the same border were u. S. Troops were patrolling with the turks just two weeks ago before turkey reneged on that agreement. Turkey is a member of nato which was formed of course to counter russia after world war ii and now turkey is patrolling with Russian Troops after having forced u. S. Troops to retreat from syria. Neil all rights, thank you, Jennifer Griffin very, very much. The possibility of russian and Turkish Forces patrolling areas in syria once dominated and controlled by u. S. Forces. Lets get the reed on it from Lieutenant Colonel bob mcginnis. What do you think . Im not surprised, neil. The russians have been in syria and of course have helped assad basically when the civil war and the west along with iranian help. The russians lost that region years ago after the soviet union fell. Vladimir putin lavishes the idea of going and then splitting up the Nato Alliance which he considers his primary enemy and of course turkey is the southern flank of nato. We saw of course erdogan here recently buying s400 air Defense Systems and we retaliate abasing no longer are you going to get the f35 fighter because it compromises our technology. So whats going on is something that weve seen in the past. Unfortunately this is the type of backandforth geopolitically that we have seen and we will continue to see in the future. Neil just curious, if this is what and active member in support of nato does, what the heck does an enemy do . It sounds like someone who shouldnt be in the club. I think erdogan is pushing the envelope. Obviously we are being quiet about it because we have the strategic location. We probably store a variety of ground crown jewels there. We need the flank. Its been the stabilizing force until recently. They denied us access in 2003 when we tried to get into northern iraq. Somebody has to keep the lid on the iranian aggression. Someone now if course has to keep a lid on what the russians are doing and of course i think erdogan is incredibly geopolitically ambitious, as weve seen some of his actions over the last complete years. I had a very high placed person in the nearby government informed me that erdogan has ambitions to become a new leader of the muslim caliphate. Neil in response, if he goes and lets say within the next five or six days, something far more sweeping and maybe with the russians help, all bets are off and we are sort of out of the game militarily. We are not out of the game just because we withdrew a handful of troops. Neil how do you think we would respond . How would you respond . I think pompeo was talking to the president today. We have a lot of firepower that region. We are talking about an ally here. Of course we are sworn to defend them in the reality is if we dont sever the relationship should turkey do something thats unconscionable to us, then our alternatives are futile. We have a lot of capability and i think the president is looking at that and i think mr. Esper, who is of course in iraq today, hes looking at our calculations, our alternatives. If the American People want to go back in in a major way, were not going to send 1,000. We would have to send 10 of thousands of people and i just think we have the stomach for that quite frankly given the threats we see around the world with the chinese and of course the russians in ukraine and the western part of. Neil the president knows that. To your point, the president knows it and maybe thats why the 1,000 troops pulled from that area, the strategy was we could always find a reason to be in endless wars. He pulled the plug now. Do you think in retrospect the timing was a mistake . The timing was questionable. But keep in mind you can say we have about 55 different wars around the world. We are engaged in a lot of them. I think its important that we recognized what our National Interests. I have heard the political debate and all the reasons for trying to stay there longer. I would like someone to begin to tell me what our National Interests are there. Maybe its keeping the russians from gaining a foothold there. Thats already been done. Perhaps its pushing back against the iranians. We clearly have an interest there. But other larger geopolitical reasons for risking our blood and treasure in that part of the world . Its an endless series of wars and conflicts in religious differences. Why in the world or the American People really want to keep us there . If thats important, then you need to elect somebody thats going to do that. I dont think this president who is avoiding malign impact on the United States and believes America First is willing to spend anymore of our blood and treasure in that area. Neil indeed. Lonel, thank yo. Good catching up with you. Meanwhile, domestic pressure. Forget about the threat of impeachment over a call to ukraine. It is a bigger worry over the president and his tax returns . Possibly going to the Supreme Court. Cologuard colon Cancer Screening for people 50 and older at average risk. Ive heard a lot of excuses to avoid screening for colon cancer. Im not worried. It doesnt run in my family. I can do it next year. No rush. Cologuard is the noninvasive option that finds 92 of colon cancers. You just get the kit in the mail, go to the bathroom, collect your sample, then ship it to the lab. Theres no excuse for waiting. Get screened. Ask your doctor if cologuard is right for you. Covered by medicare and most major insurers. Neil this is getting to be taxing. The legal tussle over the president s tax returns could be heading all the way to the Supreme Court may be sooner than you think. The president s legal team agreed to fasttrack to the high court. If that team loses tomorrows decision from the circuit court. It is so far over my head. My hair hurts. Thats why we called in mercedes to help us out. I love you, neil. Neil you are a great attorney. These attorneys are telling the president were going to try our luck at this court and if it doesnt work we are going to the Supreme Court. With the Supreme Court take the case . The subpoena for the tax records. The underlying investigation is to determine whether theres been some violation of the Campaign Finance law. Surrounding the payment to the two women who allegedly had an affair with the president. Thats what its all basing on. Neil but its really to get the tax records. They want to see if theres been some criminal activity. How youre going to lift those payments to those alleged to those women. Neil dont you think its a rather elaborate ruse to get their hands on the records . Not in the mind of the d. A. Who wants them. Thats whats being reported. We want the records. Neil up to a decade of them . Thats a great point. How much do you have to look at these tax records to determine whether criminal activity took place when you know that it was a finite time. You will look at the records. Its an investigation, not the prosecution. When it gets to the u. S. Supreme court, there is precedent that says you cant criminally charge a president but we are not talking about a criminal charge. We are talking about a criminal investigation. We are not discussing with others going to be charges levied. If i were to guess what the Supreme Court will rule, they will say is an investigation, not a criminal investigation. Criminal prosecution. Neil the Supreme Court did unanimously tell Richard Nixon you got to hand over the tapes. Is it the same rationale . Then it was also criminal activity, not criminal prosecution. We have that and we have with president clinton there was also subpoenas that have been litigated. At some point president clinton said fine, i will give over some records. Oh, it wasnt records. Testimony. We have some history of sitting president s being subjected to subpoena power. Subpoena for testimony, subpoena for records. If i were a betting person, the records will someday during the time neil that someone would leak it. I dont want to be a political cynic. Isnt that what this is all about . You raise a great point. We know that grand juries are confidential. The testimony is not to be disseminated publicly. Could it be released and linked . Has it been done in the past . Neil the pentagon papers and other things. I guess id like to know where this goes because i remember hearing from a lot of people before the Mueller Report came out that was going on in the Southern District will be far more of a headache for the president. Do you agree . Thats where i practice. I love those judges in the Southern District. Their phenomenal judges. They are above the politics. I think he would get a fair shake in federal court. Maybe not so much in state court but thats just my neil hand them over, mr. President , what happens if he says no . Its an interesting question because what if the contempt of court . Neil that is a high crime and misdemeanor right there. At some point or going to know what the record say. If i were a betting person at the end of the day, i think the u. S. Supreme court will rule and will look at this the way we are analyzing it today. Criminal investigation, not a criminal prosecution. Neil amazing. Always good seeing you. Thank you very far much. Mercedes collins. Lebron james, basketball player extraordinaire, he might want to win an nba championship but tonight, tonight he want to win over protesters not too pleased with his views on china. S of an outdoor grill indoors, and because its a ninja foodi, it can do even more, like transform into an air fryer. The ninja foodi grill, the grill that sears, sizzles, and air fry crisps. Oh, wow. You two are going to have such a great trip. Thanks to you, we will. This is why voya helps reach todays goals. All while helping you to and through retirement. Can you help with these . Were more of the plan, invest and protect kind of help. Voya. Helping you to and through retirement. What . i think i forgot to lock my buick. Got it. I bet you lunch you cant make it in there. Im thinkin sushi. Alexa, ask buick to start my suv. You can do that . You can do that . You can do that . Yeah, with a buick. What . At the heart of every buick suv. Is you. Or current eligible nongm owners get 14 to 20 percent below msrp on most of these buick models. Neil if you think i got bad for lebron james in the nba in china, he could get worse because right here in the u. S. Of a. , the nba starts its season tonight including the aforementioned lebron james. Jonathan hunt in los angeles. Hey, jonathan. Hey, neil. Good to see you. The nba would prefer to focus on passing and points. Rather than politics and protest but it seems they may not get their wish. The tweet that was heard around the world. Houston rockets general manager daryl morey expressing support for prodemocracy activists in hong kong now threatens to become the story at several season openers including here in l. A. Where the lakers open against the clippers at staples center. With the brown james having been drawn into the controversy after lebron james appearing to criticize morey. I believe he wasnt educated on the situation in hand and he spoke. So many people could have been harmed. Morey street came in two preseason games. The Chinese Government reacted furiously shutting down tv coverage of the games and all but ordering billboards to be pulled down. While almost every Chinese Company that partners with the nba they are pulled out of those partnerships. Nba commissioner adam silver was left trying to thread the needle and standing by the leagues freespeech tradition while it is the same time apologizing to the Chinese Government which effectively controls billions of dollars in potential income for the nba. A protest movement began, gathering pace of preseason games. Fans wearing prohong kong shorts were thrown out of a sixers game and around 150 protesters turned up at a brooklyn next game last friday. The movement centering on slogans on tshirts on the basis that the nba wont allow fans to low hold signs hold signs but cant police what they wear. Tonight there is particular nervousness around well organized protests in toronto and here in l. A. The question will ducting or democracy be the story of the night . Neil i see what you did. Thank you, jonathan hunt. Great reporting. Reporting. Is a china going to be an nba problem that may be for a long time the entire season. We have kennedy, mike. What do you think . Its initially going to be something especially against lebron james. Especially americans are mad and upset that the chinese are telling a company, corporation or sports entity that if you criticize us, were going to go after you. I think americans feel thats wrong. Shouldnt be allowed. Are they going to protest every single game . I dont see it happening as much as it did with the nfl when they started taking a knee, et cetera. That was more with the flag. Patriotism, against the police, against the military, our great soldiers. This distant have as much of a direct effect is the flag did or at least protests or riots or you know, your own local police force did when he went against the flag. Neil kennedy, what do you think . They go i disagree. Is a more direct effect. If theres one thingresonates ws with americans, its freedom. They understand what people are fighting for, to preserve the rights and not give them over to the communist chinese were trying to squash freespeech and in this country and abroad. They have found helpful tools and people like lebron james. Quentin tarantino talked about this on my show last night on the fox business network. 9 00 p. M. Quentin tarantino has stood up to a chinese sensor saying youre not going to change a frame of my film to fit your authoritarian wins. I wish the nba had been so bold. Neil the portrayal of bruce lee. Yes, bruce lees daughter appealed to the communist government. He has final cut rights. He can do whatever he wants with his film here or there or anywhere. The point is we love freedom. When youre on the rational side of politics, you dont get to go to the fund abates because you think people there are kind of idiotic. But this is a fun one because you are for something and you are thumbing your nose at a bunch of oppressive ovary actors who are trying to steal our stuff and squash our freedoms. Speak to the fans didnt have any problem with these guys skig out on trips to meet the presid. Now theyre making a big issue of it. Its a little different but they seem to have different standar standards. I was here the other week saying neil i think youre afraid of what she said because she disagreed. Lebron james should be criticized. He sold out. Hes got a 1 billion contract, lifetime guarantee. Neil they were fine with him when he was dissing the president and the white house. Why its only convenient when it matters to him and i think thats why nobody i think he should be protested. The nba is supposed to be woke so is the average american going to be upset . Absolutely. We are giving into the chinese. Neil it wouldnt be the first enterprise. Neil absolutely not. Neil you are free to speak i hope so. They are passing out in toronto and in los angeles with the clippers are meeting the lakers, they are passing out Free Hong Kong tshirts because the league of the teams can confiscate political signs. They are within their right to do that but it cannot take your clothes. They are passing out thousands and thousands of Free Hong Kong tshirts. Neil out of china sees it and says thats it. Speak i hope they do. I hope they see it and i hope everyone in china sees it. I hope its a message they cannot snuff in the country because Companies Like google, their dragonfly program, they crafted way for china to shut down speech. Neil i wonder how the nba would react . China is going to act up if this happens. There was a report they were pressuring adam silver to fire darrell morey. I think thats when the American People will stand up and say were not having china. Neil what do you call their bluff in china. Go with your own league. Because thats what i said initially. China doesnt want the nba. Neil so that wasnt just my idea. 300 Million People play basketball in china. The nba in china made a half a billion dollar agreement two years ago to enhance basketball. Money in sales is what its all about. Im all about the protest. If it lasts all season . Neil we have more coming up including the falloutd about bouncing fortunes. Whats going on with trade . Are we going to see trade or not . After this. Hey there people eligible for medicare. Gimme one minute. And ill tell you some important things to know about medicare.

Com neil a lot of companies are blaming whats going on, the uncertainty in the world, disappointing earnings. Ubs, the big investment bank. Sometimes i can see the operations directly in china, ship stuff there, dont. Factories. I dont know. I just think it can be overkill. Aaron gibbs is with us, investor extraordinaire. Thats why have a problem like delineating how ubs could be exposed versus other names that actually have operations and significant exposure. Its tough. Ubs, their excuse that it was from trade wars is ridiculous. Neil that it affected trading. That wasnt the area where they have the big hit. It was consumer and corporate banking. As well as investment banking. You might say investors are afraid and they didnt want to do as much activity but when you look at ubs, 25 of their revenues come from switzerland. They have negative interest rates. They are continually declining. Its really about that income going down. Its really about their backyard. Its about europe and switzerland. The lack of mma activity in europe. Neil i think a lot of companies in the president touched on this a few weeks ago, might use the trade situation as an excuse. I have certain reason to believe a good many, it affects their Capital Spending plans, hiring. I get it. I feel, what i use to cover and my reporter days, retailers who would blame a weak quarter on the weather but never credit a good quarter on we had a lot of sunshine. Takes a lot of delving into the details. Its clear from reading the report that it has nothing to do neil what about these others who worry or are scaling their plans. Hasbro really went through she read the transcript and you feel exhausted reading it. There were four times that there were threats of tariffs going into effect. Three of those four were postponed. Hasbro was going to be having fire drills getting expedited shipping, warehousing extra stock and you can understand. We all know expedited shipping cost money. Even just clicking on your amazon. You can see that they have massive increases in costs. They are running one fire drill after another in the Third Quarter and they have a very specific plan in 2020 to really move their supply chain out of china. Neil there are a lot of guys still caught flatfooted there and exposed to it. Does that change with this phase one deal . Most of it is a commitment on the chinese to buy agricultural products. The fact that the Third Quarter specifically, we had proposed tariffs that went to an effect that got delayed. At the time you dont know theyre going to be delayed. As you are scrambling to basically get the shipments into the u. S. Earlier before the proposed date comes in, it enhanced a lot of extra work and inefficiencies. Speak to someone who watches the Investor Community and average people. Do you think this will affect individual american shopping plans . This trade thing. I dont think they think that way. No, its really not going to be until you see a big increase in prices that could be a shift where consumers say okay, im just not going to buy it. I will wait until next year. Neil do you see that happening . We havent seen a big increase. Neil American Distributors and retailers suck it up to avoid passing it on. Its then delayed some of it until december 15. The Holiday Season is what, from an investment standpoint, what were watching. Are the sales going to be hit. Are people going to go out and do that Christmas Holiday shopping or are they going to pare back . Right now i think things look very healthy. Good wage growth and we havent seen a big jump in prices so far. Neil will watch closely. Thank you. Good read on the markets. Closeddoor testimony on capitol hill. A lot of democrats are disturbed by what they are hearing out of our acting ambassador to ukraine. A lot of republicans are saying we would be too i if you let usn on it. After this.

[ tires screech ] the big idaho potato truck is touring america telling folks about idaho potatoes. And i want it back. What is it with you and that truck . Neil acting ambassador to ukraine testifying in the impeachment inquiry, democrats are calling the testimony disturbing. Hillary vaughn on capitol hill with the latest. President trumps acting Ukraine Ambassador bill taylor is still meeting with lawmakers behind closed doors. The Washington Post is reporting that taylor told lawmakers that the e. U. Ambassador Gordon Sondland told him that President Trump wanted ukraine to publicly announce an investigation into the Ukrainian Energy Company Burisma until also ukrainian interference in the 26 teen election before handing off military aid to the country but sources told fox news taylor admitted he had no firsthand knowledge or evidence that ukraine officials knew that military aid had been suspended at the time of the july 25th phone call between President Trump and president zelensky. That information would favor the White House Defense that there was no quid pro quo if ukraine didnt know about the delay. Neil thank you very much. Republicans arent keen on this process complaining they are being shut out by democrats. Participating and questioning like the one today. Whats really going on . Lets get a read from fox news capitol hill producer chad pergram. Chad, they feel they are odd man out in this, that they cant really participate. Is that true . Not completely. Republicans are in the room forever interview. The problem is they cant report out what said unless they leak the transcript. Were going to get the transcript publicized at some point. Maybe weeks or months away. Right now because its in private, republicans arent crowing about the process. The tibbett the other day where republicans started to call where the its a secure area, what we call a skiff, secure intelligence facility. Thats the abbreviation. Theyve been calling it a bunker. Thats part of the pivot, the spin. Where republicans have a point is democrats are trying to say all right, were going to do this investigation on our own and were not conducting hearings. Were not going through and releasing the transcripts. The democrats are saying that they are acting as kind of an independent counsel or special prosecutor, like what you had with Archibald Cox and watergate. Much like what you had with ken starr in 1998 and 19 and hundred there was a very interesting moment today on capl when i asked the Senate Majority leader mitch mcconnell, i said is it hard for republicans to defend the president and are they reluctant to do so or afraid to do so . Or come out and criticize the president for fear they get there had taken off. He immediately pivoted to process. I said thats the problem. Some republicans on capitol hill are having a problem defending the president but they dont want to do it in public. Neil i thought you were throwing to a bite. I apologize. When republicans are they are allowed to question in this case mr. Taylor as well, right . Sometimes its limited to counsel from the committee or members from the committee and mostly what weve been seeing here is the Intelligence Committee thats running the show on this. Members from the House Oversight committee and the Foreign Affairs committee are in the room but what weve seen on these previous interviews is that its restricted to the Intelligence Committee. Thats why youve had some republicans say wait a minute. We cant have any member go down there. There were some instances last week in the week before were members who are not part of those committees matt gaetz from judiciary tried to sit in on the meeting and he was not allowed because hes not a member of one of the three committees of jurisdiction. Thats where republicans are complaining about the process and thing the democrats should take a floor vote to codify this so Everybody Knows what the rules are. Until you do that, nobody knows exactly what the rules are. Neil if taylor is reportedly saying that the president was withholding military aid to ukraine. In order to force the investigation of joe biden, he goes on to say that it was crazy to withhold Security Assistance for help with the Political Campaign and conveyed that to others. What im asking. These are political affairs. Impeachment, as you remind me. Is it a high crime and a misdemeanor . Doesnt rise to level at which the democrats say yes, it is. Democrats will start with the idea of obstruction of congress, the idea that theyve not been able to get some of the witness testimony and some of the documents. They could go back and say this is one of those articles of impeachment if you go to article three, three of the five which are considered by the House Judiciary Committee in 1974 regarding Richard Nixon, article three dealt with obstruction of congress or democrats feel like they are on the strongest impeachment turf with that. The other thing is this question of the quid pro quo and thats where with taylor, how much validity was in the text message he was having with Gordon Sondland, u. S. Ambassador to the european union. Did he believe it and did he have firsthand knowledge of what the president actually thought . Thats the biggest question. What weve been to believe is that he did not have direct custody of it. One of the most interesting comments ive heard today about this testimony came from mike quigley, hes a democrat from illinois. Member of the Intelligence Committee. He quoted Alfred Hitchcock and he said wanted Alfred Hitchcock say . Movies are like life without the boring parts. This is testimony without the boring parts. Neil and a bunch of birds just flew out. A horror movie. Neil thank you very much. Chad pergram on capitol hill. Theres a new poll on impeachment that could spell some bad news for democrats trying to seize it on the campaign trail. Proceed slowly performance comes in lots of flavors. Theres the ampedup, overtuned, feedingfrenzyof sheetmetalkind. And then theres performance that just leaves you feeling better as a result. Thats the kind lincolns about. Great weather, great friends. You just saved a bunch of money by switching your boat insurance to geico. It was easy. Folks, can it get any better than this . Is that what i think it is . That is an armada of tiny sushi boats. Awesome i forgot to pack lunch. You had one job. Chopsticks wasabi and soy comin in a little hot. It only gets better when you switch and save with geico. Neil this was interesting, new poll except the key battleground states that could show a bum for the president heading into 2020. Its a little over half the voters in key states like pennsylvania, michigan, florida, north carolina, wisconsin, arizona who oppose impeaching the president , removing him from office. Those are big electoral states and many of them the very states that the president won the tibbett back into the republican column. Emily, what do you make of it . Its interesting. We expect these battleground states to be divided. Theyve been divided since 2016. I think its interesting especially to note that democrats are working with something, they will pull of threads about something thats already known. We have the phone call thats been known about and if this is where the numbers are right now, how much can democrats continue to move the needle and support for the inquiry versus impeachment. Its a key distinction that we have seen show up in polling where you have people in battleground states saying that they support the inquiry but it doesnt mean they support impeachment. Real support for the inquiry itself wayne as they continue to plot threads that lead back to whats already been out in the open . Neil as you have reminded me in the past, its a series of states gathering the electoral vote. Sometimes we focus on general poles. Showing about half open to it. We forget that its a statebystate contest in the battleground states, its not the prevailing view. I think some republicans in the beltway need to be careful to look at these polls and say wow, in some states like pennsylvania and wisconsin where the president pulled out surprise victories in 2016, support for impeachment itself is still around 40 , 43 . Thats a huge chunk of voters. While it may not be enough to help democrats carry those states, that still the division in those states is really deep. This is the question of impeachment. Its not a question of whether you like the guy. Neil cuts through an overwhelming number of democrats for it and republicans against it. Independents were apparently proportionally polled. A little over half do not want to pursue it. Im wondering about the course of this. Lets say the house goes ahead. Steny hoyer another saying wrap it up. At least in the house. That would mean it goes to the senate for trial. If they impeach the president which is a leap at this point. Then you have so many candidates running for president , going to the iow iowa caucuses. The super tuesday states. They are senators. They would have to be participating in it. All of a sudden a boomerangs back on them. What do you think . You have to imagine whether its playing into democrats calculations. Its a big deal. It may seem small because people can jump on planes and get back and forth quickly but it means that they need to be in washington to be present for those things. On top of that republicans control the senate so the democrats would be participating in hearings controlled by republicans as opposed to what we are seeing in the house now which can make a really big difference in terms of whos testifying, how the hearings are being run. It may not actually be even when you look at the Democratic Base and a primary, as helpful to them as they may have initially thought and nancy pelosi is very smart. She has these things in mind. Its all factoring into their decision. But theres an open question is whether they got ahead of their skis a bit. Neil i do wonder about the timing of it. To your point as well. That this will ultimately come to an Impeachment Vote by the end of the year. Do you think at least in the house it will . The senate stuff notwithstanding.

Others roped in as well. Molly line joins us from boston. About a dozen parents are facing Additional Charges embroiled in the College Admission scandal. As you mentioned Lori Loughlin and her Fashion Design husband those in the group specifically facing a new bribery related count. Loughlin and nine of the other parents in the case that have not made this deal with prosecutors they are alleged to have tried to bribe employees of the university of Southern California to facilitate their childrens admission. They now face Additional Charge of conspiracy to commit federal programs bribery count. That provides for a sentence of up to five years in prison. The announcement of new charges coming just a day after usc officials confirmed that the daughters of loughlin and her husband no longer attend the new school. Writing in the statement that they are not currently enrolled. Officials providing no Additional Information about that citing student privacy laws. Now, defendant john wilson of lynnfield, massachusetts. He is the founder and ceo of a private Equity Real Estate Development Firm also got hit with bribery charges related to his efforts to get his kids into harvard and stanford university. He and three others also facing some additional counts related to wire fraud. These new charges tack on to other conspiracy counts that these parents are facing related to fraud and Money Laundering thus far 10 parents have been sentenced in total. But these are the parents that confessed early. They showed remorse. They made deals with the government. All but one were given prison time ranging from two weeks to five months. Tomorrow the final parent that is essentially part of that first group that made the early deal with prosecutors will go before the judge for her sentencing and there is much to watch as this case goes forward and as people, some others are inching closer to trial. Neil . Neil in the case of Lori Loughlin, right . Your reports it could be years, decades that she is in jail for that. What are they basing that on, mollie . Well, they are basing it on the maximum sentence for the potential charges. So that conspiracy to commit Money Laundering charge. The conspiracy to commit mail Fraud Services mail fraud. Those are 20 years each max. Those are not what we have seen those so far sentenced getting. Now you are seeing some of these prosecutors get a sentence make a deal inching closer to trial with various other charges. And they have their own time potentially tacked on as well. Specifically that count that the nine parents related to usc are facing that has an additional potential up to five years. So when you add it all up, it could potentially mean a lot of prison time. Thus far the judge in the case has not sentenced anyone to many many years in prison. But it is worth noting that these other defendants that are moving forward are going before a different judge. And judges have a lot of power in the system. We will see what happens. Neil molly line, great reporting as usual.
