Transcripts For FOXNEWSW Shepard Smith Reporting 20190305

Our reporting begins in washington. House democrats are finalizing a resolution to condemn antisemitism by freshman democrat ilhan omar from minnesota. Some republicans say may call for her to lose her seat on the Foreign Affairs committee. The house set to vote tomorrow on the democrats resolution. The draft does not mention her by name but makes sure that her comments cross the line especially last week when she said israels supporters are pushing for allegiance to a foreign country. Were stalled staffers for nancy pelosi and steny hoyer and jewish leaders worked on the resolution. Omar has been in office two months and this will be the second action against her. She says hes talking about policy, not people and is herself the victim of antimuslim attacks. Mike emanuel reporting live on capitol hill. Mike . Trace, good afternoon. The resolution does not mentioned congressman omar by name and some think it should. The draft obtained by numbers news says a leading democrat today says words matter. What i know is ive seen it too many places. We have racism in this country. Why is it so politically acceptable to have all of this kind of hatred against so many people . I want to fight back against every ounce of hatred im seeing. Some republicans say they should remove congresswoman omar from the house Foreign Affairs committee. Why would you have her on a committee that important to our Foreign Policy if she has those antisemitic beliefs unless youre willing to tolerate it. She should be removed immediately. This has exposed friction with house democrats. Democrats dont care for the high profile freshmen making waves, trace. Trace another freshman democrat alexandria ocasiocortez also facing accusations. Thats right. Theres an accusation that her chief of staff funneled 1 million of contributions to Political Action committees to private accounts. We caught up with alexandria ocasiocortez earlier today. Theres no violation. You think thats the sign of you taking dark money . No, no. The complaint notes the money transfers were for strategic consulting. That raised eyebrowser. Her supporters say it was legitimate. Trace lets get more on congresswomans omars comments and tomorrows vote. We have more on this reporting from capitol hill. Heather, welcome. Even if they dont name ilhan omar this legislation, its a high rebuke. This is the second time that omar has been rebuked in a matter of weeks. I cant think of another time ive been on the hill several years that weve seen leadership go after a member of their own party, particularly a freshman, so publicly like this. Trace yeah, shes apologized a couple times. This time she seems to be standing her grand more. She came out saying its problematic being told that youre antiamerican if youre not pro israel. So this time around, shes getting some support from herb freshmen colleagues and shes going to stand her ground and fight more. Congress woman omar was in afri africa. She went after a junior jewish democrat that called on omar to apologize and retract her statement. Congress woman omar said theres nothing to apologize for, these are my positions. We saw she was packed up by her freshman colleagues, particularly alexandria ocasiocortez who said on twitter today, you know, theres a double standard here for controversial comments that lawmakers make. Why are we going after Congress Woman omar when yes dont pursue other comments that have been made that can be considered controversial and bigoted . Its interesting to see the divide on the hill between even within the Democratic Caucus with senior lawmakers and the younger progressive freshman that have come on the hill. Trace its a good point. Take us forward now. Now you have republicans that are willing to offer a censure movement against her and you have jewish organizations that say she should be removed from the house of Foreign Affairs committee. What happens next to omar . A good question. Something that Democratic Leaders have not answered. Theyve resisted calls to remove her from the committee and they have rebuffed any talk of censuring her on the house floor, which would be the most extreme. Well see this resolution voted on tomorrow. Its expected to get broad support. Like you said, doesnt mention omar by name so we could see her vote for the resolution. But the question is, do Democratic Leaders including nancy pelosi to take action to remove her. They said theyre not going to do that but people are watching to see if she apologizes or if she makes any further controversial statement that may warrant further action. Trace you mentioned controversial statements. There seems to be a pattern. You go back to 2012 when omar said israel was hypnotized by the world. She asked allah to help the evil doings of those of israel. But democrats are trying to stop this in their tracks. You can see senior Democratic Leaders, several chairman of powerful Health Committees including one that Congress Woman omar is on and several jewish members. Theyre very uncomfortable with her statements that she made recently and in the past. She apologized for the 2012 tweet but some of the stuff she said recently, this falls in the same line. Congress woman omar has her defenders like alexandria ocasiocortez who said no, were not antijewish, were not against israel but we have a right to question u. S. Foreign policy and the u. S. Stance towards israel that doesnt make us bad people. So theres clearly a generational divide playing out publicly on the hill this week and, you know, the past couple weeks. Trace good insight, heather. Thanks so much. Thank you. Trace Counter Terror place are investigating after three explosive devices turned up in london. According to british police, they were small and inside padded yellow mailing bags. Investigators say theyre treating the incidents as being linked. Officials say they found one near city airport, another in the mail room at Waterloo Station and third at heathrow. They say part of one of them was burned and nobody has been hurt. Benjamin hall reporting live from london. Benjamin . Certainly this morning there was disruption across london. But nobody was hurt and those sites are open again. Counter terrorist police say theyre iuds and not terribly so fphisticate sophisticated. They happened at rush hour and all found within hours of each other at three major transportation hubs. Waterloo, heathrow and london city airport. Police say the devices were in full size envelopes and capable of ignite ago small fire when opened. Which they say in the right place could have spread. Fortunately the second two envelopes remained unopened. In heathrow, the areas of evacuated after the first package was opened. Staff opened it and nobody was hurt. The next two were found the next couple hours. As i said, those sites are now open again but being closely monitored. Trace . Trace benjamin, what are we learning where the packages came from . It seems the only evidence that the police have to go on at the moment, or theyre disclosing, all three envelopes had irish stamps on them. Were told the irish police were called. A clear connection there. This comes a year as mi 5, the British Security service, down graded the threat of a u. K. Terrorist attacks by irish dissident republican groups. The Security Service lowered they assessment from substantial to moderate, which means intelligence officials consider an attack possible but not likely. Theres no confirmation this is irish dissidents. Theres been tensions over brexit. But at this point, thats as much as people know. Certainly for the moment, all eyes are on ireland. The last time there was an attack from ireland in 2014, letter bombs were set over. We wait to see if this is something similar. Trace . Benjamin hall, live for us in london. Thank you.

Trace theyre only 5 and 8 years old. Two young sisters survived two cold and rainy nights lost in the california wilderness. Now were hearing their story first hand. The girls say they drank water off of leaves and sang as loud as they could to keep their spirits up and maybe somebody would hear them. My sister cried the whole night. I told her to think happy thoughts of our family and i kept up. When we woke up, we stayed in the same place so dad could find us. Theres a creek nearby. We screamed at the top of our lungs until the morning. The firemen found us. Trace and the firemen found us. They admitted they got lost after they wandered out off with telling their mom first. Jonathan hunt has much more on this. You just heard 8yearold caroline there, trace, telling saying she told leah to think happy thoughts. Heres what 5yearold leah said she did. I thought of going to the park with mom and dad and thought of going to the oceans. I remembered. But it didnt work. And it was just 38 degrees that night and raining heavily. Both girls a part of something called the 4h club which teaches survival skills. The skills served them well. We found shelter a tree branch close to the ground. We had my sisters rain jacket to keep us warm. We each had an arm hole that we stuck our arms into it. As for whether they will head off on another adventure any time soon, listen. Were not going to go on a hike until we get the gps trackers. They live on an 88acre property in the countryside. So adventure is a part of their lives. The gps trackers might be a good idea. We dont have many of these successful stories, this is great to see and a huge sigh of relief from mom and dad. Can you imagine . Were both parents. Heres how dad described it. That two days, i eyed my eyes out looking everywhere, going through every house, the neighbors houses, every vehicle and trailer. Everything we could find. Just very happy to have my girls back. And mom, of course, went through the same emotions. I had very dark images in my head. I constantly hard them screaming for help. Knowing i couldnt help them and there was nothing that i could do is very difficult. Now misty had just one very simple and desperate wish. As you can see in this video, that wish granted as rescuers returned the girls to their parents. I just wanted my babies back. I wanted my babies back. Try not to hurt them, squeezing them too tight. Misty says, by the way, she raised super heros. Hard to argue that. Trace thanks, jonathan. A great story. Whether your a crime survivor or committed a crime yourself, youd have a story to tell.
