Sandra now on to a fox news exclusive. The department of homeland securing barring staff frers the democratic led House Oversight committee from visiting border facilities this week after disruptive behavior on their last trip. Joining us now juan williams, fox news political analyst and cohost of the five. Good morning. They were disruptive, refused to follow instructions during their last trip. So theyre making the case democrats are saying they didnt like what we were seeing at the border. Whats going on . Politics overlaid on the immigration issue which is highly political. In this situation what you have is the department of Homeland Security saying on the last visit attempts to take pictures, to do interviews, proved to be disruptive to them and theyre saying you also had a situation in some cases members of the congressional delegation even crossed over the border saying its contrary to their rules. What you hear from Elijah Cummings the chair of the Oversight Committee is in fact that dhs doesnt want reports on the conditions and the kind of experiences that people are having. Sandra the question s is that fair for him to say that based on what were hearing from the facilities who said the staff behavior interfered with Law Enforcement operations on the ground there, refused to leave one site after their scheduled window causing problems and then they were skipping other tours where officials were waiting for them on the ground and they never showed. Time was being wasted and they were also reportedly rude to officers. So there was a lot going on here including not abiding by the rules and the time limits that were set. So were they right to say not this time . No. These are elected members of congress and theyre a branch of government. They may report to the executive but congress has oversight responsibility. This is the Oversight Committee. So what you get here is we are a government of laws. And we should have the ability for our elected officials to go and see if laws are being followed. And now you get a situation again i say thats the kind of cut and dry approach but the politics here are so intense. You have policies being put in place. Sandra it wasnt a firm no. They could have said we will commit to abiding by the rules and time frames. Dhs says unless we receive a Firm Commitment that the committee and staff will comply with existing guidelines and policies they would have said set the rules and well follow them. That would negate the ability of the congressional officials to investigate the conditions in the Detention Centers and tt border. Sandra gillibrand is out. The 2020 field narrows, a lot of members of your party not happy about some of the rules that were placed on entering into this third debate. Here is Tulsi Gabbard on Tucker Carlson last night. There is a whole bunch of different polls that have come out. Dnc has only recognized some of them as being qualifying polls for the debate. People deserve having that transparency. Ultimately its the people who will decide who our democratic nominee will be and who the next president will be and when you see that lack of transparency it creates a lack of faith and trust in the process. Obviously the big news this morning is the fact that Kristen Gillibrand left the race. She thought the Democratic National committee did the best they could. Tulsi gabbard didnt qualify and tom steyer who put in millions of dollars and lambasted by montana governor bullock for buying the system. It didnt work. He couldnt get that 2 necessary in the polls. So now you have a situation where its going to be just 10 democrats on one stage september 12th in houston. Sandra had there been one more added entry by the deadline it would have been a twonight. What you get is a situation for the democrats they see the winnowing of the field. You have an october debate and Tulsi Gabbard may qualify for that. You have people who have dropped out now, a good number. Hickenlooper, inslee, molton. Kirsten gillibrand dropped out. Sandra the president said im glad they never found out she was the one i was really afraid of. Well leave it there. Final topic here Lawrence Odonnell the msnbc store retracting a story and issuing an apology last night. I repeated statements a Single Source told me about the president s finances and loan documents. I didnt go through the verification and standards propers at msnbc before receipting what i heard from my source. The attorneys from the president said the story is false. Tonight were retracting the story. It wasnt ready for broadcast and for that i apologize. Sandra certainly made waves last night. You heard him at the end. He did receive a letter from the president s legal team demanding the retraction and apology and there it was. They deserved it. We dont know if the story was right or wrong. He retracted the story and said it was an error to put it on the air without proper vetting and a Single Source. Thats not good journalism. Sandra thanks for your reaction. Jon. Jon fox news alert. A manhunt underway for a married couple considered armed and dangerous. Blaine and Susan Barksdale are facing murder charges.

They have to be extradited back to arizona to face charges. Rather than being flown the county activates 120,000 a Year Contract with Security Transport Services to drive the couple from new york to arizona. Along the way in utah, the couple overpowers the guards, steals the van, ditches it in arizona and steals this red pickup. Theyre now on the run. Armed and dangerous and could be headed back to tucson. We cant believe that this thing happened. The transport company, they really screwed up big time. Somebody they didnt follow protocol or didnt do what they were supposed to and thats why this thing happened. Barksdale has heavy tattoos on his arms and hand. They have no money and they could commit more crimes. Tucson suspended the contract with the transport company. Jon im sure viewers in that part of the country will be on the lookout. Sandra Major Drug Companies considering massive payouts to settle opioid cases after the verdict against johnson johnson. Pam bondi will weigh in on what it means for the ongoing crisis. Jon a u. S.

Sandra North Carolina police arresting a College Freshman on charges of keeping guns in his dorm room. Prosecutors saying the 19yearold planned to shoot himself and his roommate if he didnt get accepted into an eternity and studied video of mass shootings. Officers arrested him tuesday after his classmates went to school security. The case illustrates the importance of reporting suspicious activity. I think young people are more informed and dynamic than their predecessors. I think this new generation is very profound and very strong and very brave because theyre actually willing to go to the streets. How about that . Jon thats congresswoman alexandria ocasiocortez claiming that millennials and generation z better understand our history than previous generations. Praising them for not being afraid to have difficult conversations. Lets bring in byron york, chief Political Correspondent for the Washington Examiner and Fox News Contributor. How would you assess her reading of history here, byron. Well, it seems that representative ocasiocortez has not heard about or read about the 1960s. And anyone who has read about that time or remembers it themselves will remember a generation that was pretty involved in this sort of stuff. She is correct in the sense that im sure she is very happy that the generation z is very democratic. Millennials and generation z do lean democrat in a very, very heavy way. And i think she and others see that as an indication for a Bright Future for them in elections. Jon she also says theyre willing to puncture more tab oos,. More on that. I think theyre more sensitive in a positive way in that they actually care about other peoples experiences and lives. I think they are profoundly courageous because theyre willing to puncture tab oos and conversations that older generations struggle to have. Jon theyre called snowflakes and needing safe spaces. When she talks about older generations she might be referring to her own situation where there is a certain 79yearold speaker of the house and a 78yearold House Majority leader, and other leaders who are in their late 70s. Look, she is at the forefront of a generational struggle inside the house not only a struggle of progressives against more centrist democrats, but up against younger people versus older. I think its pretty clear in the Democratic Party you have a president ial race in which the top three contenders biden, sanders and warren, are all in their 70s and you have a house leadership in which the top three democrats clyburn, hoyer and pelosi are all in their late 70s. There is a generational issue going on inside the Democratic Party. Jon her previous career she was a bartender and it probably made for good discussion. I want to look at a piece youve written, the headline is the Justice Department Inspector General has done a separate report on james comey. Thats in the Washington Examiner, your reporting there, byron. Why, do we know . We dont know. Weve talked a lot about this upcoming Inspector Generals report. Weve been really anticipating what might be in it and when it might show up. It is going to cover what republicans call fisa abuse but a much broader examination, we think, into some of the origins of the trump russia investigation in 2016. And now we learn that as part of that the Inspector General of the Justice Department Michael Horowitz prepared a separate report on james comey, the fired f. B. I. Director. That will be released sometime before the bigger report is released. We think that it concerns mostly comeys handling of the socalled comey memos. Those are the memos he wrote up about his conversations with president elect and then President Trump and then he specifically leaked some of those to the New York Times with the hope of setting off a firestorm that would ultimately result in the appointment of a special counsel. Ended up he was very successful on that score. Jon senator Lindsey Graham said he thinks well see the report show an effort to defraud the fisa court by feeding it false information. Youve seen a lot of this from republicans. We do know that the f. B. I. Presented information from the socalled steele dossier, the discredited dossier that had all these all gigss about trump and russia. The f. B. I. Included some of that in the application for a warrant to wiretap carter page. What we dont know is what else was going on . We hope to learn that from the horowitz report. Jon it will be fascinating reading when it does come out. Byron york. Sandra republicans reacting to the surprise resignation of Johnny Isaacson. How democrats are reacting and what it could mean for the balance of power in the senate. Jon also Hurricane Dorian now threatening to deliver a direct hit to floridas coast. Well hear from former fema administrator brock long on the importance of the next 46 hours. At this point its all about preparation. Everyone should have already had an idea what theyll do when the storm is threatening. Introducing a razor that works differently. The gillette skinguard. Designed with a guard between the blades that helps protect skin. It guards against razor burn on the neck and irritation on the face. Get the shave youve been waiting for. Gillette skinguard. Great riches will find you when Liberty Mutual customizes your Car Insurance, so you only pay for what you need. Wow. Thanks, zoltar. How can i ever repay you . Maybe you could free zoltar . Thanks, lady. Taxi only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Billions of problems. Morning breath . Garlic breath . Stinky breath . Theres a therabreath for you. Therabreath fresh breath oral rinse instantly fights all types of bad breath and works for 24 hours. So you can. Breathe easy. Theres therabreath at walmart. Jon a Union Representing new York Police Officers now voting no confidence in mayor bill deblasio and commissioner james oneill. Also calling for both to resign or be fired. This all coming in response to the commissioners decision to fire officer daniel pantaleo. He was seen using a choke hold that was momentary and accidental during the arrest five years ago of eric garner who died in the process. Deblasios office is an attempt to divide the city saying the city is the safest its ever been. This changed over the last 48 hours. It shifted and has a path to strengthen with some pretty open stretch of water and potentially impact anywhere from southern florida all the way up to florida at this point. And so just everyone have your plan and well get more resolution and certainty over the next 24 to 48 hours. Jon former Governor Ron Desantis declaring a state of emergency in more than two doze
