We have now imposed to toughest ever sanctions on the iranian dictatorship and it was not the same when i took power but i would love to see peace in the middle east. Eric alicia acuna where the president spoke this afternoon, hi, alicia. Hi, eric, yes, the president began his speech saying the relationship between the United States and israel has never been stronger, the crowd here cheering the president ial the president s controversial decision to move the u. S. Embassy in israel from tel aviv to jerusalem especially recognizing as the capital of israel and sovereignty over the Golan Heights but before things got underway, protestors interrupted the with chanted and occupier in the middle east. In response, in his speech, President Trump reminded the audience of his decision to withdraw from the Iran Nuclear Deal thats year. They we wanted to kill israel, they we wanted to destroy israel. And maybe you could explain to the young man that just got taken out what it means when a country shouts as they are signing the deal death to israel, maybe you could explain that to him. We are seeing the president actively correspondent the Jewish American vote blaming democrats for recent growth and ant semitism in the u. S. And around the world. He also moved into familiar campaign say nothing Major Political party has been more outside the political mainstream than todays democrats. Theyve become the party of high taxes, open borders, lateterm abortion, crime, which hunts, and delusions. And, eric, as for 2020, he says hes one for one on political races, he wants to be 2 for 2, eric. Eric according to this crowd hes a repeatedly as chai chanted 4 more years throughout the speech so looks like e had support. Thank you, arthel. Arthel President Trump started trip in california where he inspected border fence there. The president today warning mexico of severe consequences if mexican officials dont take measures to stem the flow of Illegal Immigrants traveling through. Democrats are also pushing for a thing, if you can believe this, open borders, they want open borders, they want people we are on pace to apprehend more than a million Illegal Migrants this year. Arthel casey steigel, live in el paso with more. Hey, arthel, good to see you, although talk of closing the entire border with mexico at least his ban tabled for now with the president , it does not mean business as usual in a lot of the border communities. Let me get out of the way and take a life look at what would normally be a pretty busy time at the bridge of the americas, one of the busiest crossings for commercial traffic in the region, though not today, customs and Border Protection forced to close cargo lane tons one bridge because they said they didnt have enough resources to keep the regular saturday hours and instead the 18 wheelers must enter the u. S. On neighboring bridges and take a look at this new video coming in as was actually shot over from the juarez, mexico side and puts into perspective how long the line is, 18wheelers stacked up for miles on the mexican side wait to go get into the United States. Wait times of more than 10 hours, experts tell us the Ripple Effect it is going to have on our economy will be quite far reaching, listen. You have electrical components for manufacturing plants that are required to do whatever it is that they are building, youve got agricultural products, food stuff, food that has to be preserved, you know, refrigerated, any delays in that obviously affects the the produce, it affect it is freshness, it affects the prices, the commodity. There have been serious economic fears raised over what is shutting the border down could mean because mexico is the Third Largest trading partner with the United States and it is the largest supplier of agriculture products like fruits and vegetables but President Trump adding that he does not play games and that he is not afraid to close the border down, he will do it but he wants to give mexico one year an opportunity, arthel, he says to help them help them help stem the flow of illegal trafficking into the United States. Back to you. Arthel live there in el paso, texas, casey seigell, thank you. Eric the president also continued to defend himself during the speech, this is attorney general william barr is we are told working on releasing a redacted version of the Mueller Report. That expected in the next few weeks. The president tweeting, quote, i have not read the Mueller Report yet even though i have every right to do so, only know the conclusions and on the big one, no collusion. Likewise, recommendations made to a great ag who found no obstruction. Garrett tenney has more from washington. This battle over redactions is really the next big fight over the special counsels investigation. This week the House Judiciary Committee authorized the subpoenas for the full Mueller Report without any redactions which is what they are demanding attorney general william barr provide to congress. That is not likely to happen because barr has said hes legally required to take out Sensitive Information such as classified info, grand jury testimony and any material that is relevant to ongoing investigation. Despite that, a number of democrats suggesting that barr may actually be trying to protect the president by removing damaging information from the report. Lets understand that we have committees that deal with classified information every single day with the protection of our country. They are quite capable of reading this memorandum and report without having the attorney general redact it. The question is, what does the attorney general afraid of that the public might learn by providing this report unredacted to congress to committees that deal with confidential information on a regular basis . President trump also fighting democratic efforts to get tax returns. This week chairman of ways an Means Committee asking 6 weeks of trumps personal and business tax returns as part of oversight of the agency. On friday one of the personal attorneys slammed the request as setting a dangerous precedent and urged the irs not to comply until the the Justice Department weighs in writing in a letter, it would be a gross abuse with power as weapon to attack, harass and intimida intimidate, the irs has not commented on the request but democrats gave the agency until upcoming twoans provide documents and likely hear more about this on tuesday when the irs commissioners scheduled to testify on capitol hill, arthel. Arthel all right. Eric thanks, by the way we will have analysis of the demand for the president s tax returns about about half an hour or so so you dont want to misthat, arthel. I think it is incumbent upon me and everybody else to make sure that if you degrade someone, touch someone, its with their consent regardless arthel thats former Vice President joe biden defending himself after accusations emerged of inappropriate touching, the controversy comes as speculation continues on whether he will launch a 2020 bid for the white house. Ellison barber has more now from washington, ellison. First public event since several women came forward and said they felt uncomfortable with interactions with former Vice President joe biden, vp seemed to make light of the allegations saying at least twice he had permission to touch others on stage. I just want you to know i had permission to hug lonnie, by the way he gave me permission to touch him. [laughter] biden made remarks on friday during speech at the International Brotherhood of electrical workers shortly after lucy flores, first woman to come forward and say biden behaved in a way that made her feel uncomfortable, tweeted its clear biden hasnt reflected at all and how unsolicited touching made women uncomfortable. To make light of something degrades the conversation. Women everywhere are courageously trying to have. Former Vice President biden did not directly apologized to the women that have spoken out against him, at least 7, he told reporters he feels bad if he made someone feel uncomfortable. Are you sorry for the way im sorry i im not sorry for any of my intentions. Im not sorry for anything that i have ever done, i have never been disrespectful intentionally to a man or a woman. For now it does not seem like the allegations are hampering bidens political ambitions and close to deciding whether or not he will run for oval office in 2020. I am very close in making the decision, hold up, putting everything together, man. Putting everything together. Its my intention, the last person out. President trump weighing in controversy by tweeting this video. Critics say the president is not in a position to point fingers, he has been accused of much worse. Back to you guys in new york. Arthel all right, ellison, we will take it back here, thank you very much ellison barber. Eric President Trump again warning of the Immigration Crisis on our southern border amidding continuing flow of migrants that Officials Say are overwhelming government facilities, so what is likely to happen and how would this issue become the forefront of nations mind, how would it affect the 2020 elections, we will take a look, plus, have you heard about this, string of fires at historically black churches in one state raising a lot of red flags, we will have latest on that investigation straight ahead. Places like this of worship are not just building of god, these are buildings that people worship in on a regular basis, weddings here, funerals here, theres been children who were raised here and i take that ver seriously.

Arthel federal authorities are now joining the investigation into destructive fires at three historically black churches in louisiana, the churches are located in st. Landry parish, investigators say they were all burned within 10 days. Certainly the fires are suspicious. We are treating them, we treat them like a crime scene from the beginning as we gain information. Much question about the relation, no coincidence that 3 fires occurred in short period of time. North of the we are swea was also deem seemed to be intentionally set. Theres never been so many people coming up and thats because they are gaming the system and the system has changed for the worth because of what happened with democrats and what theyve done in terms of congress. So if we change the laws itll be very easy but in the meantime mexico, if they stop the people from coming in, we wont have a lot of people coming at the border. Eric President Trump, of course, speaking with fox news yesterday on the border. This is as he continues to make the case to solve the crisis that continues there. The president traveling to california yesterday to tour a revamp section of the barrier fencing after this week backing up the plans to close the border for now, the president issuing oneyear warning to mexico to stop the illegal crossings or he says he will place tariffs on cars that are made in that country. Also talked about immigration there, joining us jeff mason, White House Reporter for reuters. Jeff, always good to see you, the president did have warm words for mexico this afternoon at least in efforts to try and enforce their southern border so the caravan dont form in the first place, do you think the Administration Policy can actually hammer that and get that through to mexico to try and stop some of the caravans before they even arrive here . Well, thats the theme that the president has been using for the last couple of days since initially threatening to close the border about a week ago, he did say in the last few days and as you say he repeat again today that mexico has been doing a good job in dealing with some of the migrants coming at its own southern border but repeated threat that if that does not continue, he would do one of two things, at the end of this week, was that he would put tariffs on cars coming out of mexico and the other threat is restatement of what he said which would be to close the border, now, there was a lot of opposition that idea from people within its own party after he made that threat and thats one reason that it sounds but he backed off although he says he did not back off but that was certainly one of the aspects that people were looking at last week after making that initial threat. Eric during speech afternoon, he pointed to the numbers, a hundred thousand or so every month, more than a million expected this year. I mean, 1 million, in fact, just a few days ago 2,000 caravan of 2,000 showed up at the border at eagle pass, texas, 49 buses, so this is just continuing. I mean, the president is speaking out about it. Do you see any movement in capitol hill to concretely address this further . Well, i think that the president will certainly continue to make it an issue and his people are no doubt working as well with folks on capitol hill, its hard for me to predict what sort of legislation cutting off illegal immigration although its worth noting that a lot of the people who are coming through the border are not coming sort of in the middle, they are going through actual checkpoints and turning themselves in, but that is leading to the system being overwhelmed and the president is hoping that that message will stem the number of people coming through whether its legal checkpoints or not. Eric it is legal, of course, to claim asylum and thats part of the argument and he said, he reiterate what had you just said that we are full during the speech this afternoon. Lets listen to what he said. Get out, sorry, get out, sorry, cant handle it. And i told my people yesterday, our country is full. We are full. Our system is full, our country is full. Cant come in. Our country is full. What can you do . We cant handle it anymore, our country is full, cant come in, im sorry, its very simple. Never before has a Major Political party been more outside the american mainstream than the democrats of today. Eric clearly he says and the Officials Say that the system is overwhelmed. The country is not full, but the system is struggling and even the president and others have cited the fact that president obamas Homeland Security cabinet secretary, the secretary jay johnson has also recognized that there was a that there is, rather, crisis at the border, so there is bipartisan recognition of the fact that the numbers coming in is overwhelming the system. But theres not bipartisan agreement on how to deal with that and that leads to implications for the 2020 election. You have seen candidates address that, theres a very big politically between democrats and republicans about the message they want to send to americans, immigrants, to the rest of the world about what this country is and how we deal with immigration. Eric finally, one issue of asylum, people legally seeking asylum, political persecution and crime, the president ridiculed that process saying basically, lawyers tell them to tell our Border Patrol officers what to say in order to get into the country under the asylum claim, lets listen to what the president said about that. Some of the roughest people youve ever seen, people that look like they should be fighting for the ufc, they read little page given by lawyers that are over, the lawyers, they tole them what to say. You look at this guy here, wow, thats a tough cookie. I am very fearful for my life. [laughter] i am very worried that i will be accosted. If im sent back home, hen he will do the accosting. Eric do you any modifications in the law as it now stands . The president doesnt have any patience for people coming into the country when he see it is fact that the system is overwhelmed. That said, i know that there are people laughing at what he said in the room but its not a laughing matter for a lot of people who are are applying for asylum in the countries they are coming, creates a real dilemma for the United States in terms of what the system can handle. I think politically speaking and we touched on this a little bit before, it suggests that the president is going to continue hammering on this issue as he goes into the 2020 election and democrats will be hammering right back. Eric former president of white house correspondent, thank you, good to see you. Thank you. Arthel well, eric, 2020 democrats standing across the country bringing their message to voters, live with more from the campaign trail, plus secretary of state mike pompeo warning russia, the u. S. Will not tolerate moscows intervention in venezuela. I havent seen any evidence that they start today move out. The risk that it will get worse before it is better, we have made very clear that the costs will be high.
