border. good evening, william. >> bret, the numbers underscore what president trump has said about tariffs. the number entering the u.s. illegally continues to climb from a low of 15,000 a month after the president took office, apprehensions in may topped 144,000. the yellow line shooting up. 30% increase from april. double january. highest in 13 years. why? experts say unless there's consequences, there's no deterrence. right now migrants have no reason to stay in central america where wages, if you can get a job, $8 a day. in the u.s. with this economy, migrants can earned $15 an hour. >> we're in a full blown emergency. i can not say this stronger. the system is broken. we're well-beyond capacity in all of our southwest border custodial facilities. this ongoing crisis has placed a strain on our limited resources and effectiveness. >> because the border patrol, ice, cbp are overwhelmed, shelters overflowing, border agents say they're helpless to stop the exodus of families and minors from guatemala, honduras, el salvador. most claim asylum. 87% don't show up for court. ice only went after the aliens. now families can't get a free pass. >> they're renting kids, bringing them across and bringing the kid back to mexico and recycling them. this is unbelievable. >> as for mexico, it reports double the number of deportations since march. president trump believes it can do more. enforcement along the southern borders is almost nonexistent and federal police given the order could stop the flow of migrant buses at any of the many mexico checkpoints. that is something that i'm sure will be on the table. bret? >> bret: thanks. next up, rich edson on the north lawn of the white house. what we know at this hour. another meeting happening now. good evening, rich. >> the meetings do continue here in washington. the state department official tells us the secretary of state mike pompeo is now having a one-on-one meeting with the mexican foreign minister. they met here 2 1/2 hours this afternoon all trying to negotiate a way out of this. the president has given them now less than five days to figure this out before tariffs hit. >> i think they want to make a deal. they sent their top people. we'll see what happens. >> the mexican government dispatched the foreign minister to the white house for an afternoon meeting with mike pence. secretary of state mike pompeo and acting department of homeland security secretary, kevin mcaleenan. either mexico cuts migration or tariffs hit mexican products monday. >> they have to step up. if they don't, tariffs will go on. if they go high, the companies will move to the united states. it's simple. >> the president has threatened 5% tariffs on all mexican imports into the united states, potentially rising to 25%. mexican officials argue american tariffs would make it more difficult to address those migrants traversing their country. >> i am optimistic. i think we'll reach an agreement. we'll reach an arrangement. >> mexico says central america needs international aid to improve conditions in the region. remove an incentive for citizens there to attempt to enter mexico and then the united states. president trump cut aid to guatemala, honduras and el salvador saying they fail to address illegal migration. the u.s. is in the middle of a trade fight with china featuring tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars on chinese and american products. there is bipartisan opposition to even more tariffs. >> it disrupts supply chains. we have so much products that go back and forth the border multiple times in various stages of development. slapping a tax on every time it comes across in one direction could be very damaging. >> this is dangerous territory. this is not a way to treat a friend. >> congress could vote to block additional tariffs. they would need a veto proof negotiation. >> senator john thune, the senate's number 2 republican, says a discussion about congress trying to block these tariffs is hypothetical right now. though he says if the tariffs go into effect next week, the discussion becomes real. bret? >> bret: more on this with the panel. second consecutive big day on wall street. the dow gained 207. nasdaq jumped 48. president trump and his counterparts from around the globe are tonight giving thanks to the greatest generation who defeated the nazis in world war ii. the d-day invasion on june 6, 1944, marked the beginning of the end for adolph hitler's dream of world domination. president trump is talking about the prospects and efforts to avoid modern day wars. kevin corke is traveling with the president. he reports from ireland. good evening, kevin. >> evening, bret. on the heels of that false story that north korea's lead negotiator had been executed, tonight president trump is expressing skepticism over other reports like some that are suggesting that kim jong-un wants to attack america choosing to believe that the leader of the north still wants to make a deal with the u.s. >> i think chairman kim would like to make a deal. >> president trump today left the door open for a third summit with north korean dictator kim jong-un. despite a new warning from pyongyang urging the u.s. to change the course of its negotiations before it's too late. >> no nuclear testing for a long period of time. >> the president's comments came in a bilateral availability but down played the short range ballistic missile tests. the president was confronted about the prime minister's remarks calling the president's claims on climate change reckless. before venturing to ireland, the president covered a wide grounds with piers morgan. he talked about china, north korea and iran. the latter about which the president talked about his desire nor dialogue, not conflict. he added -- >> you think you will need to take military action? >> always a chance. do i want to? no. i'd rather not. always a chance. >> our sons, pride of our nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor. >> earlier in a stirring tribute to the veterans of the largest seaborne invasion in world war history, the president read a letter from delanor roosevelt. >> in a place where the echos of war remaining today a fateful prayer. >> faith in each other, faith in our united crusade. thy will be done, almighty god. >> the president among world leaders commemorating the bravery of the nearly 160,000 troops that embarked from the south shore of england 75 years ago to liberate europe from nazi germany. though the numbers are few, servants do remain, including queen elizabeth herself. the queen served as a mechanic, trained as a mechanic during world war ii. tomorrow the commemorations continue at normandy. we look forward to the world leaders getting there around 5:00 a.m. eastern time. we're looking forward to bringing you a great number of survivor stories. that's ahead. balk to you. >> bret: should be a big day tomorrow. kevin, thanks. republican and democrat senators are working together to try to stop the trump administration's sayings of weapons to saudi arabia. the president invoked emergency powers to sell arms to the saudis and the united arab emirates without congressional review. these senators say the use of that power was unprecedented and can be challenged. lawmakers have grown critical of u.s.-saudi ties since the killing of jamal khaishoggi last year. now to the 2020 campaign trail. former vice president joe biden is facing new plagiarism allegations tonight. new from the ones that we brought you last night. "the washington post" is reporting the biden public education platform copied without attribution an entire sentence from an education policy document. the campaign later updated their material to give the source and foot note that passage. yesterday we told you several items in biden's new climate change platform were copied and pasted from other material without giving credit. those passages were later updated and sourced. biden's 1998 presidential campaign was derailed by his admitted plagiarism of material from a british politician. president trump tweeted the allegations are a big problem for biden, but that the corrupt media will save him. abortion is at the center of an issue that could be a headache for the democratic frontrunner. joe biden still supports one of the laws, pro choice advocates despise called the hyde amendment. tonight david spunt tells us what that law does and why it's so controversial. >> i have one quick question for you. that is will you commit to abolishing the hyde amendment which hurts poor women and women of color. >> joe biden in south carolina last month asked about repealing the hyde amendment by a member of the american civil liberties union. despite saying he would commit to abolishing hyde, biden's campaign confirmed to nbc news that he still in fact supports hyde. he would consider getting rid of it if roe v. wade were threatened. >> if this court were to overrule roe v. wade, i would make it -- i would push to make it legislative. >> biden is in alone in his support of hyde. the aclu tweeted about his ropeline exchange saying "rights for all." pro choice advocates are upset with his stance. >> it's deeply troubling and puts him out of step with most democrats and most americans and the rest of the field. >> following his pledge to keep the hyde amendment in place is giving the issue new founded tension on the campaign trail. >> i will repeal the island amendment and every woman has access to a full slate of reproductive care. >> elizabeth warren says she will repeal the amendment. nine states have passed increased abortion measures. all have been signed into law by republican governors except louisiana. >> john never flinched. he said no. we're going to love this baby. >> that's john edwards, a democrat in a 2015 campaign ad. >> governor edwards is getting serious push back from democrats in louisiana. the sam democrats that propelled him to office. he appears to be safe as edwards has said he's pro life publicly. bret? >> bret: thanks. the trump administration is ending medical research by government scientists using human fetal issue. it's a victory for pro life advocates. officials say government sponsored research by universities will be allowed to continue superintendent to additional scrutiny and the policy change will not affect privately funded research that using human fetal tissue. the 2020 candidate that comes in second in almost all of the democratic rankings or polls today took his democratic socialism to the home of one of america's great capitalist stories. jeff flock reports from rogers arkansas on bernie sanders visiting walmart. not to shop. good evening, jeff. >> starting pay at walmart, $11 an hour. bernie sanders says that's not fair. so he came here to the shareholders meeting in rogers, arkansas to argue for a shareholder proposal that would urge the company to put associates, hourly workers on the walmart board and to raise their wages to $15 an hour. >> one might think that a family worth $175 billion would be able to pay its employees a living wage. you can't pay represent. you can't get healthcare. you can't feed your kids. put gas in the car on $11 an hour. >> sanders was cordial at the meeting speaking within his allotted time and also pointing out that competitors like amazon and target do pay their hourly workers $15 an hour. doug mcmillan, the ceo of walmart speaking almost i think directly to bernie sanders making the case that they treat their workers pretty well. >> we moved up our starting wages in the u.s. by 50% in the last four years and continue to adjust up on a market by market basis to recruit and retain the talent we need to run a good business. >> for example, in addition to salary, the hourly wage, they paid out $793 million in bonus tos the same workers. they point out that 57% of promotions last year were actually delivered to woman, another 45% to minorities. both sides i think were heard fairly. no raised voices. all friendly. in the end, perhaps, bret, a decision to agree to disagree. >> bret: jeff flock in arkansas. thanks. up next, what could go wrong with a proposed law in maine to legalize assisted suicide. we'll bring you there. first, what some of our fox affiliates. fox 45 in baltimore. the ransom wear attack that hobbled the computer network has cost more than $18 million. the mayor's office tells the local newspaper that there was no personal data breached. but a twitter account suspended by the attackers. fox 2 in san francisco as oakland is the second u.s. city to decriminalize magic mushrooms. the city council vote comes after a string of speakers testified that the psychedelics helped them overcome depression, drug addiction and post traumatic stress disorder, this is a live look at tampa from fox 13. the big story tonight, the fbi charges a st. petersburg man with leaving an explosive device at the bay pines hospital last week. mark edward allen turned him in balk he was making more bombs at home. allen is a u.s. veteran. that's a life look outside the beltway from "special report." we'll be right back. know you're. know you're. i don't want to hear about insurance.

desperately trying to determine where three americans died at the same resort in the dominican republic. the announced cause of death, respiratory failure and fluid in the lungs. experts say it's too early to conclude whether the deaths are linked. the dominican says they're treating the deaths as separate investigations. back here in the u.s., the state of maine is on track to become the eighth in the nation to legalize assists suicide. supporters say it's about ending the suffering of the terminally ill. critics warn of unintended consequences. here's doug mckelway. >> when karen's liver cancer was first diagnosed in 2018, it already spread to her spine, lymph nodes and kidneys. she and her husband, chris, considered leaving maine for vermont where assisted suicide is legal. >> maybe she would have used it, maybe not. it would have given her peace of mind. >> chris is a widower and a volunteer for death with dignity. if maine's democratic governor signs it, maine will be the eighth state with d.c. to legalize assists suicide for the terminally ill. on the same day as the state house vote, in the netherlands, a man died. first reports suggested the cause was assisted suicide but may have been from self-starvation suffering from his depression and sexual a base and rape by two men at age 14. suicide is legal for the terminally ill and for those suffering emotional pain. children as young as 12 are eligible with parent's consent. the pope said we're never called to abandon those that are suffering. >> we're giving up on those people when we say we agree with you. your life is not worth living any longer. so you'd be better off dead. >> since the netherlands legalized assists suicide, the rates have risen. it's confirmation critics say of the slippery slope and effect that many had predicted. one of the reasons that suicide has been a taboo in most cultures. >> with family and societal stresses and end of life costs with baby boomers. >> up next, how china could be using subway cars to threaten u.s. national security. we'll explain. beyond our borders tonight, organizers of pro democracy protests in sudan say 40 bodies have been retrieved from the nile river in the capitol city. the death toll has climbed to 100 since the violent dispersal of a sit-in outside the militaries headquarters monday. a huge floating crane has arrived in budapest. it's designed to lift a sightseeing board that was carrying south korean tours. the vessel included with a river cruise ship. acting defense secretary patrick shanahan has decided not to punish higher level commanders over an ambush in 2017. critics say more senior leaders should have been held accountable. just some of the other stories beyond our borders tonight. we'll be right back. iand i don't

occurs amid concerns in the u.s. about chinese made products and their dangers to national security. gillian turner has one example tonight. >> you may not have heard about the new front in the ongoing cyber war with china. if you take a train to work, chances your daily commute is in the cross hairs. a chinese owned company, crrc, a manufacturer of subway cars is in a brewing storm over national security. u.s. subway cars in china are made vulnerable to hacking and remote control operations. >> the quit pro quo is, they have sensors that could be linked to the internet. they can spy on americans. >> crrc makes train cars for cities across the u.s. from l.a. to chicago to philadelphia. now they're bidding on new megacontracts in the nation's capitol and the big apple. lawmakers are ringing alarm bells. given what we know about how cyber warfare works, the department of commerce must thoroughly check any proposals or work that china crrc does on behalf of the subway system. the company is working on next generation cars that include wi fi and train-tracking systems reliant on chinese technology. it's one of several company gins up security concerns. the president is trying to ban all products from huawei. china is pivoting away from the u.s. and setting their sights on russia. the two presidents met earlier today. xi says that they relationship has reached its highest level in history. >> relations between russia and china are developing stably and at the moment they're at their peak. both sides support each other. >> cyber experts continue to warn about the danger and allowing chinese companies control over u.s. infrastructure like this next gen train deal. they caution russia's and china's trade relationship going on, singing to the tune of $100 billion this this past year alone, bret. >> bret: thanks. now back to the d-day remembrance. greg palkot talks with a 94-year-old man from north carolina that was there 75 years ago and is finally returning to the scene of one of the world's most historic battles. >> normandy honoring the 75th anniversary of d-day. 75,000 americans were involved in the invasion. u.s. paratroopers dropped behind enemy lines to clear away for the troops facing intense gun fire. one of those, 19-year-old eugene diedler from bradford. >> we had about ten more minutes of flight, maybe 12. >> anti-aircraft fire all around? >> yeah. the machine gun fire. >> so for about ten minutes, you were in an airplane. >> yeah. we said let's get the hell out of in plane. >> yeah. >> now 94 and living in charlotte, this is his first time returning to normandy reluctant to relive the memories. he recalls well his unit's first real run-in with the german foes. >> the colonel said i'm going to let this machine gun. we killed about 150 of them. >> 150? >> a battalion of 500. >> all those active at d-day suffered their losses. the normandy american cemetery has the graves of 9,400 americans. he put praise for heroism, he says he thinks of them. >> people might think we're heros. the heros are all in the grave. >> in the graves. >> yeah. >> he went on to serve 37 months in the military. he earned a bronze star medal at a ceremony here thursday, president trump, president macron and others will honor him and all that fought in depick d-day battle. >> bret: thanks, greg. good to hear those stories. mexico tariffs, president trump says he's not bluffing. mexican leaders make their case today. still are here in washington. while there's new eye-popping numbers from the southern border. we'll discuss it all with the panel when we come back. of savings and service. whoa. travis in it made it. it's amazing. oh is that travis's app? it's pretty cool, isn't it? there's two of them. they're multiplying. no, guys, its me. see, i'm real. i'm real! he thinks he's real. geico. over 75 years of savings and service. but how do i know if i'm i'm getting a good deal? i tell truecar my zip and which car i want and truecar shows the range of prices people in my area actually paid for the same car so i know if i'm getting a great price. this is how car buying was always meant to be. this is truecar. i felt i couldn't be at my best wifor my family. c, in only 8 weeks with mavyret, i was cured and left those doubts behind. i faced reminders of my hep c every day. but in only 8 weeks with mavyret, i was cured. even hanging with friends i worried about my hep c. but in only 8 weeks with mavyret, i was cured. mavyret is the only 8-week cure for all common types of hep c. before starting mavyret your doctor will test if you've had hepatitis b which may flare up and cause serious liver problems during and after treatment. tell your doctor if you've had hepatitis b, a liver or kidney transplant, other liver problems, hiv-1, or other medical conditions, and all medicines you take including herbal supplements. don't take mavyret with atazanavir or rifampin, or if you've had certain liver problems. common side effects include headache and tiredness. with hep c behind me, i feel free... ...fearless... ...and there's no looking back, because i am cured. talk to your doctor about mavyret. >> have to step up. if they don't, tariffs will go on. if they go high, the companies will move back to the united states. that's all. it's very simple. >> i'm optimistic. i think we're going to reach an agreement. we will reach an arrangement. >> the president is continued the tough talk on tariffs with mexico. he responded to my statement on the floor with a tweet last night. but ultimately i continue to believe that he will back off. that has been his m.o. >> bret: that's not what the president says. he says in a tweet, can you imagine crying chuck schumer saying out loud for all to hear that i'm bluffing with respect to putting tariffs on mexico? what a creep. he would have our country fail with drugs and immigration than give republicans a win. no bluff. meantime, this is also not a bluff, this is the numbers. just in the past few weeks, along the southern border. >> we're in a full blown emergency and i cannot say this stronger. the system is broken. this john doing crisis has placed a tremendous strain on our limited resources. to address these unprecedented numbers, up to 60% of our agents are being pulled away from law enforcement operations. >> take a look at this chart. a southwest border apprehensions. this is up from this point. i think it's up to 144,000 in may. you look at may, 2019 versus 2018. different scenario. let's bring in our panel, matthew contennti, amy walter and guy benton. guy, you had the senate majority leader on tonight. he's obviously saying that his caucus is not for the threat of tariffs, but does he have the votes to push back against the president? >> i asked him if they had a veto proof majority. there were some reports in the washington reports and elsewhere that they were moving toward that type of number. he didn't give me an answer yes or no on that. in a piece of mcconnellesque understatement, he said there's a lack of enthusiasm for this policy. he did -- this is fighting words by mcconnell. he referred to the tariffs as a tax increase on working class people. that is a sense of where the caucus is for the most part. >> bret: this meeting is still going on. foreign minister is meeting with mike pompeo and the vice president that did not include lighthizer who has not been told we're supportive of this move. do you think that mexico will move the ball somehow to convince the u.s. that they're doing enough? >> they could. inunclear what they could do. whether they could become a third party sanctuary or state -- >> bret: in other words, immigrant goes in there, they -- that's the safe country, not the u.s.? >> that will be hard to do because that's international law that designated if you're a safe enough country for asylum seekers to come into. if it's going to be we're go doing do more on the southern border to prevent, what does that mean? how much money is that? what can the president say once he comes out of these meetings to have assurance for give assurance the mexicans are doing that. even if the numbers spike, what does he do? that's the real question here which is at what point will the president shut the border down. he was frustrated with the number of illegals coming in and asylum seekers. now he's says he's going to put tariffs. he may not do that if he's getting what he needs from mexico, what is the third that that he needs? if he backs down again what message will that send? >> he's pushing the envelope to get something done. the administration says it's time to do something. we went from crisis where democrats said it was not a crisis and then they said yes, it is a crisis and now a full blown emergency. you're running out of descriptors. >> that's when tariff man turns to his favorite weapon. listen to donald trump describe this threat. it's all upside. he says even if the tariffs go into effect and ratcheted up by october to 25%, then he said the jobs will come back here. talk to the senate republicans, your hear down side. the economic consequences. especially from those republicans senators from border states. they're worried about the effect it might have on their state economies, this is the classic divergence between trump's philosophy and the philosophy of republicans in washington d.c. >> bret: you sense a difference in the support for china trade push back and mexico. >> absolutely. i think there's a bipartisan consensus that china is the emerging threat to the united states in the 21st century and our trade relationship is flawed for decades. you have both parties supporting an aggressive approach to try northeast trade as well as security issues. mexico, it's different. they're our largest trading partner. the import export distinction is hard to draw. as senator toomey said, some parts are assembled here, go there and come back. the supply chains are crucial to maintaining an american economy that is weakening. >> bret: here's the president on the situation with china? if china wants to make a deal, i have no doubt about it. every sick natural is they want to and at the right time probably that will happen. right now they're paying many billions of dollars to the united states. we never got that before from china. we haven't even started. it's relative peanuts compared to the numbers that we're talking about. >> achieving a mutually beneficial agreement on respect, quality and good faith is not only in the interest in the china and u.s. but to the general expectation of the international community. adding tariffs will not make the u.s. great again but hurt the country. >> bret: we talk about what it does to china. we'll get into that this week. look at the dow, guy. you know, there's not a lot of jitters about mexico or china. second day in a row, big gains. in part because the fed said i'm your back stop. >> so the fed news is part of the reason why we saw the numbers that we saw in that line heading the direction it was. i think there's some concerns about where this is going. there's the big question to amy's point before, is this something that the president is going to follow-through on this time. at least on the mexico side of things. matt is right there's a consensus on china. that's not the case with mexico and the new gambet. i will say talking to republicans while many of them are calling out this proposed remedy as something that they can't support, almost universally they're pointing to the other charts we looked at, the crisis at the border is more real and totally back the president on that point. >> bret: pure politics, some senator up for re-election, lindsey graham in south carolina. the people look at this issue and say what? we stand with the president? >> yeah, we stand with the president which is why lindsey graham or tom tillis who is up in north carolina or the senators john cornyn who is up for re-election in texas. that is the most important thing. you think about your primary. standing with the president who has a 90% approval rating among republicans. >> bret: okay. seconds to go from the president. immigration discussions with the representatives in mexico have ended for the day. progress is being made but not nearly enough. border arrests for may, 133,000 because of mexico and the democrats in congress refusing to budge on immigration renorm. talks will resume tomorrow with the understanding that if no agreement is reached, tariffs will begin monday. the highter tariffs go, the highter number of companies that will move back to the u.s.a. president trump, five hours ahead? tweeting maybe tuning in. next up, abortion and the flip-flop on the campaign trail. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ applebee's new loaded fajitas. now that's eatin' good in the neighborhood. it's kind of unfair
