Astros big win. I know we have a big texas morning. Ainsley mike pompeo and the president are on their way back. That takes us straight to this fox news alert. The u. S. Brokered a ceasefire and it appeared to go up in smoke. Steve new photos from syria showing shelling and smoke as you can see right there rising in the air just hours after turkish officials agreed to stop the attacks. But that sure looked like an attack. Brian griff is working the phones right now. Working his sources overnight and joins us from washington. Hey, griff, could this be the Syrian Free Army . Could this be the kurds . Or does this look like the tuckers. This is the Free Syrian Army. Forces alived with turkey its a little complicated stay bheevment the point is the fighting clearly has not stopped. Let me show you the images again where much of the shelling started two days after the president withdrew the u. S. Troops. You can see the smoke and clear signs of fighting. I have been on the phone with my source all night long as recent as 10 minutes ago. He is 10 kilometers from that town as you are looking at. Ceasefire broked any questions or attempted to do. So ngo trying to get trapped kurds out all night long and they cannot. He makes an interesting point. He has not seen airstrikes in the last several hours but kurdish syrian fighters have told the a. P. That they have seen shelling going on overnight. Now that is very, very troubling. Kurds cannot retreat, my source says. Roads are blocked in this ceasefire, this fiveday ceasefire supposed to give kurds time to retreat, they cannot. No official statement from turkey. Around 4 30 National Security analysts dr. Rebecca grant who knows these things made this observation. It would be a lot more bombing and smoke if this was turkish tanks or aircraft. But it looks like it may be their proxy, the Free Syrian Army making trouble in that disputed region around ras alayn. Griff this comes as the president hailing ceasefire in the nation. Interview with Vice President pence over trusting erdogan. Heres what happened. Based on his behavior, based on his action, can you trust him. We will take this agreement for what it is. President order gone knows President Trump says what he means and means what he says. And i think on the foundation of that kind of a candid and honest relationship, we can go Forward Together for a more peaceful region. Griff you know what to watch for pence and pompeo are landing. We will see if they have anything to say about a broken ceasefire, guys. Steve griff, just to reiterate. Appears smoke rising. We dont know who is doing the shooting, right. My source has been been 500 meters from the Free Syrian Army forces. They are aligned with turkey he has witnessed them aattacking syrian kurds with whom he is with. I have been with these guys in 2016 in mosul aligned with kurds fighting with isis. I trust. Also matching our recording, red cross also unable to get there because of the continued fighting. Brian in a way turkey has to feel good about this. They get to stay in socalled safe zone. The sanctions dont get there the kurds get a chance to get out. The turks get the buffer zone that they wanted. Am i missing something . Griff thats the very big concern right there that this ceasefire really doesnt give us what we wanted, which is the fighting to stop. But yet turkey gets what they want, and that is a continued assault to drive and pretty much kill syrian kurds. Thats what we tried to stop. Ainsley any word on how washington will stop this . Do they plan on meeting this morning . No idea no. Word out of turkey and the administration, ainsley. Thats why pence and pompeo are on the ground its going to be so very important to hear what they have to say. Now, secretary pompeo was asked by our Pool Reporter about this ceasefire being broken. He had no comment. Steve indeed. All right. Thank you very much. Griff. We understand the Vice President has landed at joint base andrews. If he is going to have a statement, we should know about that shortly. Other big thing we didnt know if it was going to be a ceasefire for five days whether or not the kurds would leave the safe zone. Stay tuned. Meanwhile the president of the United States was down at the Airlines Arena dallas, texas. A gigantic crowd on hand for a speech that lasted 87 minutes. I was reading in the Dallas Morning News today, it was the eighth longest speech he has given as president. Ainsley there were a lot of people there some estimating 30,000 outside watching on the flat screen. He was praising the opening of louie vitton which we talked about yesterday. Women are happy. Brian were still debating the merits plus or minor newses the clutch bag. Steve its made in america and thats great. Thats the plus. Brian he has no shot and future republican candidates have no shot of winning a president ial election if texas goes blue. And if you watched last night, its going to be a hard slog to or really have to bend your mind a little to imagine that state going to a democrat. Lets listen to the president. Do nothing democrats the more america achieves, the more hateful and enraged these crazy democrats become. [cheers] they are crazy. I hate to talk about them. Do you know why . I dont think the guy has a chance. Sleepy joe. I dont think he has a chance. Last week, a very dumb democrat candidate for president , thats the end of him in this state, pledged to revoke the tax exempt status of many churches and religious charities. [crowd boos] and by the way, that was after a few weeks ago he said excuse me, were going to take your guns away. That doesnt work well. [crowd boos] that crazy nancy, she is crazy. [crowd boos] and shifty schiff. How about this guy . Do you know why, really i dont believe anymore that they love our country . I dont believe it. [chanting four more years] steve you get the idea. He did say the impeachment is being done by democrats who are enraged. They are trying to redo 2016. Meanwhile beto orourke who would like to be president of the United States. Brian how is that going . Steve not well. Brian i havent noticed. Steve he had a rally. He had 5500 people in attendance. The president last night in dallas said regarding beto, in just a couple weeks he got rid of guns and religion. The president said not too two good things in texas. Brian add that with take down the wall. If i become president i will take down the barrier. Ainsley think about confiscating everyones high powered guns in texas. And then you would shut down ultimately churches and mosques and synagogues. Steve charities. Ainsley they wouldnt be able to afford to run. Probably not the smartest thing to say. Brian i dont know if thats been poll tested. A desperate guy who cant find a tie. Sara carter a lot of voters are not buying in to the Washington Play by play or what hollywood thinks. Watch. They demonize, they demonize, and they demonize. They think by doing that somehow the American People are going to say wait a minute, maybe the democrats are right. Maybe we arent going to listen to trump. But the reality is that the American People are not stupid. They showed up. They showed up by the thousands in dallas, texas. They show up all across the country. And they continue to push for President Trump. Why . Because he is the only person thats actually listening to them. The only person that actually listens to the American People. Ainsley heres the message that the president is trying to send on his twitter account. He posted video rally. Democrats the party of high taxes, high crimes, lateterm abortions, socialism and blatant corruption. Republican Party American worker, the personal family and american dream. Something that kag 2020. Brian interesting not exactly maga. Talk about the little guy in manufacturing he has to cut a deal with china. Maybe the first phase of that is done. We keep hearing things going back and forth. Good news yesterday and bad news for china. Their growth is down to 26year low. They were growing at 6. 2 . Now theyre growing at 6 . That makes them more vulnerable, susceptible to cut a deal. That plays into the intimidation game they are playing with other countries around the world and even with the National Basketball association. As they just tried to play a couple exhibition games and meet the mets and lakers. Along the way before they went, the general manager of the Houston Rockets tweeted out something in support uftd hong kong protesters to keep them in mind. Since that moment, chinas overreaction shows number one how sensitive and thinskinned they are as a country and how powerful they think they are because they are such a valuable market to mercedes, tiffanies, marriott, everything. Even to this league. Steve well, adam silver, the guy who runs the league, the nba commissioner was asked yesterday at an event, he said he was asked whats going on with china . He said the Chinese Government asked him to fire the general manager of the Houston Rockets rory because of what he tweeted in support of the hong kong protesters. And adam silver said they want me to fire him . Thats not going to happen. Watch. I didnt think at that time, while we were saying we regretted upsetting our fans but also at the same time supporting darryl moreys trite express himself and right to tweet. Obviously we made clear that we were being asked to fire him by the Chinese Government. We said there is no chance thats happening. Theres no chance we will even discipline him. We wanted to make sure that everyone understood we were supporting Free Expression and also making clear that the chinese people, again, less about the government, but our chinese fans understood that providing a platform for freedom of expression is different than adjudicating a particular point of view. Ainsley sorry, china. In this country there is freedom of the press, freedom of speech. You are allowed to talk against another government. He did say. Steve which happens every day. Ainsley exactly. He said they have lost money over there, significant amount. He said they are continuing to refuse to play game there. Steve the future of the nba in china is uncertain. Brian im very happy. Look at this second statement. It was really strong. Adam silver might be the best commissioner in sports and jillian as we return to you. I think lebron got hurt the most by. This the backlash that he feels. I know he feels impervious to everything. The burning of his jersey. Outrake i have heard from outside sports circles. Ainsley even Dennis Rodman who is friends with the north Korean Leader says either choose sports or politics. Dont mix them. Jillian curious to see what happens. There is a lot of business as you know in china as far as the nba goes. You look at lebron with sponsorships with partnerships with nike, with fans. There is a lot at stake there. Steve thats some real dough. Ainsley lets see what happens. Jillian meantime get to this fox news alert right now. Two deputies served overnight while serving an arrest warrant. We need an blams. Ambulance. We have an officer involved shooting. Officer down the deputies were airlifted to a local hospital. One person inside the apartment was also shot and a third deputy suffered a nongun related injury. All are in stable condition. Two people are seriously hurt after a plane with a High School Swim team on board misses the runway. The penn air flight traveling from anchorage to dutch harbor alaska. According to to the school all members of the swim team are safe and secure. The ntsb is investigating but certainly scary moments for everyone on board that flight. Steve no kidding. Jillian, thank you very much. Meanwhile, the media are going wild over what Mick Mulvaney said yesterday at the white house about ukraine. The Stunning Exchange today, the white house acknowledging a quid pro quo. Mick mulvaney was a remarkable admission. Was this in effect a confession . Ainsley Ari Fleischer, he knows a thing or two about messaging at the white house. Hes here to react coming up next. We didnt start the fire he also mentioned to me in the past the corruption related to the dnc server . Absolutely. No question about that. Thats it. Thats why we held up the money. Look back to what happened in 2016 certainly was part of the thing that he was worried about in corruption with that nation. That is absolutely appropriate. Described as a quid pro quo. Get over it. There is going to be political influence in Foreign Policy. Brian there you go. That was the line that the Mick Mulvaney is having trouble shaking at this hour. The media grilling white house chief of staff Mick Mulvaney claiming he admitted to a quid pro quo during trumps phone call with the ukraine. But, are the democrats spinning his words more than they are supposed. To say here to react is Ari Fleischer. You watched this ari, did he make things better or worse. Worse. First of all that is the reddest, hottest room on earth. You dont take that podium unless you are aware of the implication of every word and sentence you say. He went too far. He tried to explain the intricacies on Foreign Policy on such a red hot issue that he made a terrible mistake. Brian what was that mistake . His mistake saying something contrary to what the president has said. The president has said there is no quid pro quo and thats exactly what his schaf should have said. He tried to come out later with a statement to explain it. What happened here is Mick Mulvaney is a very smart man and in this instance i think that his words were moving faster than his mind and he should have stopped, paused, slowed down and not tried to heducate reporters. He should have said what needed to be said. Brian walked it back by saying the full Security System in the ukraine was not conditioned on kiev relating conspiracy related 2016 interference walking back the statements. Right. Brian have you got to show to me its not going to go into a rabbit hole or sinkhole and history of corruption show me its not corrupt. Thats normal. Okay. That would have been fine. The problem here and this goes to the original call the president made to zelensky. If it was all about corruption and the only thing that president or mulvaney talked about perfectly appropriate. Once you bring in the name of your opponent, hunter biden, joe biden, once you talk about the 2016 elections, have you gone beyond corruption. Have you made a political, personal and that was the central flaw here that were all discussing. Brian ari, the other big thing is leaking out yesterday, democrats do seem like they are running an impeachment script. They are saying the same thing. The networks keying on the same thing. I dont know how that is they say the same thing as democratic lawmakers. It seems to happen. I want to throw some of these words at you democrats are using and tell me what you think. This is one of your many areas of expertise. National security endangered by President Trump. Is he undermining our elections. Look at 2016. Investigate 20206789 abuse of power. He is trying to say 400 million is linked to him getting what he wants on biden. And no one is above the law. Saying the president is doing something that exceeds his office. Are they working . Are those buzz words working . Those are the democratic talking points put out by the office of nancy pelosi, speaker of the house. And look how short theyre. Look how quick summaries they are. They are actually welldone for being on the attack. The problem is they are all factually substantively wrong. Whatever President Trump has done and i criticize him for it, this is not stuff of. We have. This is where the democrats want to impeach him because he won in 2016 and they never liked him. He is not going to get impeached over the phone call to ukraine. He is going to get impeached over the 2016 election and its results. Inappropriate by the democrats. This is not impeachable. So they can have all those magic words on paper, we are about to have a partisan impeachment which we have never had before, and then no conviction in the conviction. We are going to have wasted everybodys time in this country. Brian maybe make this so routine that every time a party is not in power they impeach the president. Thats what worries me the abuse of the entire system. Much more like a no confidence vote than a real impeachment in america. Brian for the record i have full confidence of Ari Fleischer handle everything except for the yankees. Go yankees. Brian they might be going home one more loss. Thanks, are ay.
