in 1641. it is inherently to the advantage of the state to crush >> the administration is very winning or who might not be up satisfied that there is a the individual. to speed and focus on the need so we have not seen anything cease-fire, practically there was no fight that practically like this in almost 400 years. for the democratic voters who >> bill: get back to the point stayed behind last time. somebody is going to take care of the buffer zone between the 44,000 we mentioned in about selective leaking. the strategy seems to be turkey and the kurds. pennsylvania. working. there was a poll that came out the 22,000 in wisconsin, the reality is that all these this morning that say 55% of 11,000 in michigan. focus on those voters. matters happened because our the american people now favor allies accepted not to fight >> a lot of others are on the the impeachment inquiry. the turkish advance and if that's your strategy it same page with you on that. seems to be going the way they accepted to withdraw from the want it to go. the story is interesting. question for you on impeachment. area with some demographic >> if the election were next all behind closed doors. consequences. now the next stage is how will thursday it might be a good do you think it's a good idea? we get all of this holding or strategy. the election isn't next >> you know, i am somewhat thursday. we went through the whole cycle right despite the humanitarian with russia and mueller and miffed at republicans and problem created because of that? everybody running in circles others think we should be conducting it in the open. and it faded away. now we have a new deal and we >> the president sounded when the police arrest someone optimistic about the success he have schiff instead of mueller they don't conduct the made with his strategy there. and we have a totally rigged investigation in the open. are you optimistic about a game. it is all being done in secret. they conduct an investigation. long-term peace deal? >> you have to look at what is it can't stay in secret. at some point we'll see the it has to come out at some work. republicans are loud in the happening now but try to point. out as we room but republican members of project. project smun is based on the did with the whistleblower who intentions. just disappeared. those committees of what will turkey do. they can't bring the whistleblower out because he release their militias in the has nothing to blow. jurisdiction are there, to ask their questions. i think at the end of the day area? will the russians not only do he knew nothing personally. the president will get his due now how can you take that as a patrols but seize the rest of process. we don't know if this inquiry the kurdish forces including
6:07 am
serious credible charge? is going to lead to an the oil fields at one point in >> bill: you read the intro investigation which will lead time? these are the big questions that bill taylor read yesterday. to impeachment. that i'm asking at this point. it lasted an hour. i think it's about theater, you went through it, i went theater. >> sandra: we spoke with mac >> bill: you favor sunshine is through it. what was your take on it? what i hear from your answer. thornberry earlier this morning. >> my take is there is a very >> of course i favor it. a republican member of congress who made it clear while a deal we will have time for sunshine. smart man who believed in a may have been reached, a certain worldview in a certain temporary deal and long-term peace deal could be reached he had this warning. procedure but the truth is >> bill: six critical states. >> there may be something they the question was on the call permanent but there will franklin roosevelt used impeachment inquiry do you still be efforts by isis to support it. 50% say yes. personal assistance. woodrow wilson did. when you ask the question about this idea that somehow trump is reemerge, there will be efforts impeachment and removal, that's doing something unique is a by assad and russia to extend their control, and i can a 10-point swing. purely made up bunch of baloney. 53% oppose, only 43% support. what does that tell you when predict with 99.9% certainty i presume taylor doesn't like you think the election for 2020 that the united states will be could be decided right there? trump's style and disagreed tested in the weeks ahead. with his pollz. all right so >> i will never judge policy or >> sandra: how might we be tested in the weeks ahead? say i disagreed. give my opinion based simply on doesn't make it impeachable. the polls. >> in two areas. >> bill: recalling the i think it's a reflection of where we are today. area number one basically not ambassador in may as well. here is what i would say to being able to return the those americans. >> all ambassadors serve at the no one is above the law and no refugees. the kurdish refugees and pleasure of the president, period. one should put their personal christian refugees. >> bill: mitch mcconnell i or political interests above how to enforce that is the the security of the united think when you watch his states. let's see what the house comes up with.
6:08 am
statements and read his words once they finished their first challenge? two, the assad regime and carefully they can be revealing. here is part of what he said inquiry and bring forward any articles if they decide to do iranians will try to seize what yesterday on the hill. the kurds still control. that we'll have an opportunity including the oil fields. >> unlike other procedures in to look at what the policy at will we be able to come back that moment. and stop them? the senate, the majority leader >> sandra: going back to the i don't know. that's a policy matter. does not really have ball anxiety that is reportedly control here. swimming in your party about >> sandra: congressman when it comes over from the thornberry made it clear while house, we have to take it up. the candidates that are out he had that warning he said one there today, what would you say i have no idea how long this will go on. are the chances that another of the inconsistencies that >> bill: i'm confused by that. major contender may still enter we've seen so far was mark it seems like he is opening the the race? >> i don't know. esper saying we're considering door to this. i'm on the rules and bylaws leaving some troops in the region to secure the oil fields he later references justice committee. roberts. there is still time for there. he is hoping with the the chief justice of the u.s. somebody to put their finger or toes in the water. president's remarks we await any moment that there might be supreme court. the way the rules of let me tell you when you look some more clarity to that at the current field of impeachment proceed in the senate, two weeks ago he had a candidates. maybe you like them or you because obviously the don't like them. president's initial call was facebook post saying as long as here is what i tell those who for all u.s. troops to be pulled from the region. might put their toes in. you have a better chance of >> let me begin with the i'm senate majority leader impeachment goes nowhere. swimming in another pond than he said by the rules we have to you have in jumping into the immediate problem before where are our forces going. take up impeachment. democratic waters right now. for us to control the oil the question is how long we it just doesn't seem possible. spend on it. i didn't hear that same answer i understand, look. fields we need to be supported we have to come up with some yesterday. is something changing with him? story every day to make by the force. >> who knows? democrats cringe. mitch mcconnell is an i just think halloween is now the fdf will be are drawing. coming so they are getting extraordinarily smart manager who will be around that? of the senate and has a pretty spooked. they need to chill out.
6:09 am
good sense of where his members >> bill: cnn shows this. are. he has a feeling and i've the militias of the assad joe biden increases his lead at gotten this from several regime and russians. senators, this is a point to be i don't know what kind of 34%, 15 points lead on warren. contacts we'll have to protect wise and calm and judicious, here is where he is getting his the oil fields. that's one of the challenges i draw the contrast with the support, all right? have mentioned. democrats in the house. with regard our forces are gone next screen. but the senate always has the among moderate and conservative democrats from september to to kurdistan and we have a opportunity to say that there october he is up a whopping 14 force in the south. is nothing here. eventually the units will be points. linked with our presence in if a grand jury reports and the among minorities he is up 14 house is a grand jury in this iraq. we don't have any more presence points as well. voters over the age of 45 he is setting. in syria strategically. if a grand jury utters >> sandra: i'll read it from up 13 points. does that make sense to you? something, the senate can turn >> makes a lot of sense to me. and say no, we don't believe it john roberts. and we aren't taking it up. he is saying that -- reporting you don't want to be in the they would take it up long kitchen with a chef that don't that the president is expected enough to dismiss it. >> bill: which could be five know how to cook and stir. joe biden knows how to cook and minutes or a month or longer. to announce a lasting stir. cease-fire and that he will be >> bill: does that also show >> right. and mcconnell said look in a that the party is much more worst case you'll be here all lifting sanctions on turkey so he is expected to announce the of december. clear your schedules for all of moderate than folks like december.clinton of being elizabeth warren and bernie sanders would have you believe? conditions have been met to >> we said from day one don't forge a lasting cease-fire but turkey and kurdish forces and look at twitter and think it's he likely won't use the term the democrats and don't smear us with the different names we permanent. in addition he is expected to a russian agent. get every day. lift sanctions against turkey here is what she said in return democrats like republicans are imposed in the wake of turkey's pretty much middle of the road. yesterday. >> hillary clinton, your we have a vocal and loud and invasion of syria. that's john roberts reporting
6:10 am
ahead of the president's speech. disaster for our country and energetic organized what i call the world. it is time for you to your reaction to that. acknowledge the damage that progressive wing. i respect them. >> sanctions were imposed i'm one of them but at the end you've caused. it is long past time for you to of the day there are more because of a turkish invasion. step down from your throne so moderate democrats who want to and the fear that the turkish see the country come together and want to have somebody with invasion would go much deeper. the agreement is if turkey the democratic can lead with a different policies than the stops, then we lift the new foreign policy. current president of the united >> bill: it strikes me that states. sanctions. that makes sense. >> sandra: are you throwing the concern is that turkey will putin is living deep in the your support behind joe biden? stop at one point but its heads of all americans. >> you ask me every time. militias are in the region. russia and ukraine and i'm not ready to get in the there needs to be a clear collusion and on and on. kitchen and shake up anything. i have some tabasco and ready agreement that those militia and this is more evidence of it. will not be deployed in what to light somebody's fire once >> i don't think putin exists we pick a nominee. >> bill: that wasn't a smear. was an area of demographics for much in the ukraine case. the kurds and christians. that was an observation based on what the polling is telling that's the next problem. that's about corruption in >> sandra: is it possible in ukraine that would exist us. that's how the people within this amount of time -- we know without russia. i think putin does exist deep the democratic who respond to vladimir putin and turkey's in hillary's head. the poll are saying. erdogan got together and made she reached the conclusion she >> i love all my fellow this deal to patrol the border couldn't possibly have lost so americans and i love my neighbors, too. the russians must have stolen but i have to tell you, we region there and establish this it and therefore it's the safe zone between turkey and russians' fault. haven't even had one single the kurdish population in syria. but this is very similar to but do you think in the time what's going on in the house. frame that the president has american cast their ballot or stand up on a cold wintery somebody should say to hillary clinton, show us your proof. night so say who they are for. had that a lasting cease-fire you made a terrible charge could have been reached? right now we're just talking >> look, reality is who is on against a member of congress who is a military veteran. about numbers, not really the ground will decide. talking about the people who we're not on the ground anymore. the burden is on you, hillary, will actually come out and declare their support for one so now it's the russians and
6:11 am
to prove what you just said and of the candidates. i'm going to wait until the the same thing is true in the assad regime. very, very end. what is happening in house. people should say to schiff and sandra, let me just tell you, northwestern syria will be happening in northeastern syria. pelosi you don't have the guts i'll continue to root for to do it in public. the kurds have withdrawn sougts. why should we take you seriously? >> we'll see if it goes public. tigers and saints and whatever russia and assad washington nationals. my guess is it has to. i have a lot on my hands, i decide in countering what mr. speaker, thank you very have baseball and football. turkey is there problem. much. >> bill: you are changing nice to see you especially in not our problem anymore. person. good luck on the latest book. jerseys every five minutes. >> sandra: when it comes to the >> i'm on your team today, sandra, back to you. >> sandra: president trump and baby, i'm with fox. isis return and at a low cost >> bill: thank you, donna. joe biden campaigning through the u.s. can prevent an isis battleground pennsylvania today. two big speeches in a state the nba season underway, a lot both sides are fighting hard to of controversy. return, restrict the freedom of fans pouring in to support hong win. why is the keystone state so russia and assad, it went on to kong on opening night last critical in 2020? say the best defense for we'll take that one up. night. how one big superstar is >> bill: there is new scrutiny showing his support behind free america against radical islam speech and that general manager for facebook. who started it all with a tweet. zuckerberg set to face house is working with indigenous lawmakers within the hour. >> one of our best values here populations like the kurds. so is it still possible to take in america is free speech. on the first part of that to accusations it stifls conservative viewpoints. we're allowed to say what we you'll hear it live as we roll want to say. prevent an isis resurgence? on coming up. >> i think it would be hard to >> look, we had that (food sizzling) opportunity. we were deployed in that manner get the perfectly grilled flavors be biased against both sides. of an outdoor grill indoors. as was mentioned. we need to realize we have look, right now we're doing a a superheated grill and 500 degree cyclonic air changed it. very good job of making gives all the sizzling, char-grilled flavors, we are not in syria anymore. everyone angry at us.
6:12 am
but without the smoke. we can't come back to the kurds and because it's a ninja foodi, and say let's have chapter two. it can do things no other grill can, this is over. now what we can do basically is like transform into an air fryer. protect ourselves in iraq. so now make burgers and a side of guilt-free fries. again i keep going back to reality. the russians and assad are in the ninja foodi grill, the grill that sears, charge of where the kurds are sizzles and air fry crisps. today. if we want to change that, then there will be a major reversal was in an accident. of policy. when i called usaa, i'm not sure the president and it was that voice asking me, white house are in that mood to "is your daughter ok?" reverse what they have decided that's where i felt relief. at this point in time. >> sandra: for anybody just we're the rivera family and we plan to be with usaa for life. tuning in we're awaiting the president expected to make an announcement from the white see how much you can save house. we didn't know about this until with usaa insurance. see how much you can save the show started this morning i am totally blind. around 9:00 eastern time hour and non-24 can make me show up too early... or too late. two hours ago. the president tweeted out about or make me feel like i'm not really "there." the successes in that region and said there would be an talk to your doctor, announcement at 11:00 a.m. and call 844-234-2424. eastern time. running about 13 minutes late walid. according to our own fox news reporting the president is expected to announce a lasting cease-fire in the region and also that he will be lifting sanctions on turkey. take on the second part of that op-ed lindsey graham and jack
6:13 am

options. if she comes up with an option to pay for this that does not include raising taxes for the middle class could it be a big winner for her? >> mathematically it's impossible to do when you take a look at what they are promising people. what we do know for sure is they'll take health insurance away from the 180 million people in this country who already have earned it and get it through work. we also know they will provide health insurance for illegal immigrants, people who are in the country illegally. these are not popular programs with the american people. >> sandra: this is the big debate for democrats. similar plans for bernie sanders and elizabeth warren despite how they say they'll pay for it. $34 trillion. mayor buttigieg and joe biden favor an incremental option approach covering fewer americans. what could you think could be the winning message for democrats as they continue to debate this on the debate stage as we saw in the last one?
6:38 am
it is a huge issue for them. >> democrats want to be working with republicans to do what the american people want. lower the cost of care. lower the cost that american people have to spend for healthcare. we do that through price transparency so people know the cost of things. we do it by lowering the cost of prescription drugs. we do it by eliminating these surprise medical bills and democrats ought to be working with us in a collaborative way to find solutions that the american public really want and would benefit by. >> sandra: meanwhile want to ask you about bernie sanders. in his recent endorsements of members of the so-called squad tlaib will be the latest to endorse bernie sanders. alexandria ocasio-cortez and ilhan omar have already decided to back him. tlaib said we both hope you will join us fighting against the corporate assault on our
6:39 am
families #, many listed there. so far he is getting the big endorsements of those younger members of congress, senator. what does it do for us? >> they are the people that support this dangerous democrat socialist agenda. the so-called green new deal which will raise gas prices to $10 a gallon, which opens the borders of our country, which works toward confiscating weapons from individuals. it is an incredibly liberal approach that is dangerous, scary, radical. and that's the direction that they are heading. so we'll see how many people come. i assume there will be a big turnout for bernie as he had in new york city last week but what they're proposing is very different than what the republicans are proposing, which is a continuation of this strong, healthy, growing economy. actually higher wages, more people working, more
6:40 am
opportunities for young people, and additional opportunities for all of america. >> sandra: tlaib will be campaigning with bernie sanders in detroit this weekend and we'll be watching that. an interesting look. senator barrasso, we appreciate your time this morning. thank you for coming on. >> thank you for having me. >> bill: game one in the world series in houston. the astros hosting the washington nationals. pretty good game. washington came to play. this is 20-year-old juan soto. now the second youngest player to hit a home run in his world series debut. led the nats to a 5-4 victory. houston gets a chance tonight in game two. first pitch tonight just after 8:00 eastern only on fox. check it out. game two. pretty good series. i think houston is probably a better team. the nats have a lot of momentum.
6:41 am
>> sandra: big deal for the nats to get there. >> bill: seven games we hope. >> sandra: john durham's investigation is expanding.two officials? james clapper and former c.i.a. director john brennan. andy mccarthy is here to react. >> bill: new charges against the actress lori loughlin in the college admission scandal and how the story could be changing and what she could be facing. y voya helps reach today's goals... ...all while helping you to and through retirement. um, you guys are just going for a week, right? yeah! that's right. can you help with these? oh... um, we're more of the plan, invest and protect kind of help... sorry, little paws, so. but have fun! send a postcard! voya. helping you to and through retirement.

serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. be there for you, and them. ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, control is possible.
6:44 am
>> the mainstream media reporting that he provided evidence of a quid pro quo involving military aid is false. i questioned him directly on that and neither he or any other witness has provided testimony that the ukrainians were aware that military aid was being withheld. you can't have a quid pro quo with no kuo.
6:45 am
>> bill: that's john ratcliffe from last night taking on the testimony from the ambassador from ukraine. andy mccarthy assistant u.s. assistant attorney. trying to figure out what they can prove reading between the lines based on the selective leaking. the most legitimate question is this. if you hold back aid and prove it, is that impeachable and a crime? >> bill, it's not a crime and i don't think it's impeachable under these circumstances. that doesn't mean it could never be impeachable but there are gradations of behavior and context of behavior in every situation. here you have to recognize that we don't impeach anyone over having a dirty mind. ultimately there was no aid that was withheld and we're dealing in a factual context
6:46 am
where the previous president actually denied all aid to ukraine in terms of lethal defense aid that trump has been giving since 2018. so i think it's a little precious for the democrats to now be telling us they're all worried about poor ukraine. >> bill: was it legitimate to ask about looking into the election of 2016? >> yes, i think it is legitimate to at any time for a president to ask a foreign power to assist a legitimate justice department investigation. now, you can get deeper into this and then say well, does that mean it was okay to ask about hunter biden who so far as i know doesn't have any connection to the 2016 election? and that whole investigation. i think you could make the argument it would have been legitimate to ask about any corruption involved in u.s./ukrainian relations. it's a fair point for the democrats to counter that trump only seemed to be interested in
6:47 am
corruption that touched on biden just like biden only seemed to be interested in firing prosecutors who were investigating his son. but my overall beef with this, bill, is it's just preposterous to be arguing it in terms of impeachment. these are not high crimes on misdemeanors. fault on both sides. to inflate it into an impeachable offense is not only absurd under the circumstances it will make this country ungovernable. if ukraine is impeachment material i don't know what president will not be under impeachment investigation in the future. >> bill: zelensky said there was no pressure. is that what ratcliffe is referring to when he says there is no quid pro quo? >> i think all this discussion of quid pro quo is misleading
6:48 am
because all foreign relations is quid pro quo. countries don't help each other out of fondness, they pursue their interest in the world and they exchange favors each side gives. that's a quid pro quo. the only time it is inappropriate is if one end of the quid pro quo is corrupt. and we usually hear the term quid pro quo in connection with corruption investigations and why i think democrats want to introduce it into a dialogue. we hear it and we think bribery and corruption. but quid pro quo merely means this for that. and it is a staple of all negotiations. >> bill: i'm being told republicans will demand they can call on their own witnesses inside the deposition room demanding they can interview their own people. i don't think it goes anywhere. we'll see if it does. what about the news of john durham's investigation expanding. he was looking at things in italy and australia and expanding the investigation. james clapper and john brennan, are they the two that he would
6:49 am
likely interview, andy? >> i would think at the very least, bill. if you are going to look at the origins of the investigation. it started with streams of foreign intelligence coming into the c.i.a. and being passed along to the f.b.i. going back to 2015. so i don't see how you could do that without talking to those people if they are of an investigation and let's remember, brennan and clapper both testified before congress you so much. andy mccarthy. on ward you go. we'll speak again soon. >> sandra: chicago's teachers union on the picket lines for a fifth straight day as their unions continue to work out a deal with city hall. you are looking live pictures in the city of chicago. will the mayor there find a way to strike a deal? a group of stus about being a scientist at 3m. i wanted them to know that innovation is not just
6:50 am
about that one 'a-ha' moment. science is a process. it takes time, dedication. it's a journey. we're constantly asking ourselves, 'how can we do things better and better?' what we make has to work. we strive to protect you. at 3m, we're in pursuit of solutions that make people's lives better. at 3m, we're in puhere hold this.ons follow that spud.

6:53 am
>> sandra: classes canceled again today for chicago public school children as thousands of picketing teachers plan a march on city hall where the mayor is expected to give a budget address a bit later this morning. mike tobin is live at chicago city hall with more. you can see the streets are filled with protestors. good morning, mike. >> we're on our way to city hall. police are out in force. traffic reporters have been -- telling people to avoid downtown. we have some 15,000 teachers and their support staff descending on city hall. the teachers strike is now a week old. five days of classes have been canceled. while the teachers said yesterday progress has been made on the talks there isn't an indication an end is in sight. the timing for the show of force is because the mayor is getting ready to unveil her budget. she told the striking teachers there is not enough money in the budget to meet their demand. the budget is expected to have
6:54 am
a projected $900 million shortfall. the teachers have been promised pay raises of 16% in some cases up to 24%. when you start talking about the additional demands, class sizes, subsidies for housing, the mayor said there is not enough money to meet their demands. chicago has seen a property tax pay hike under rahm emanuel blamed for driving people out of the city, decreasing the tax base. in the face of this very complex problem you have the presidential contenders weighing in. joe biden called the president of the ctu yesterday. elizabeth warren stopped for a show of support. >> everyone in america should support you in this strike and the reason is because when you go out and fight, you don't just fight for yourselves you fight for the children of this city and the children of this
6:55 am
country. >> chicago's mayor lori light foot is very liberal. the democratic hopefuls are on the other side and she is on the other. an indication it isn't going to wrap up today. they started asking people to wear red in a show of support for the teachers tomorrow. >> sandra: thank you. mike. >> bill: we go from chicago to capitol hill. moments from now mark zuckerberg is back in the hot seat before lawmakers as he is facing accusations of bias against conservative viewpoints by facebook. how will he respond to those allegations? we're watching and waiting and we'll take you there live when it gets underway and more coming up at the top of the hour. which, every day, generate enough electricity to power over 150,000 homes. and of course, fowler. at bp, we see possibilities everywhere. hi, my name is sam davis and i'm

going to tell you about exciting plans available to anyone with medicare. many plans provide broad coverage and still may save you money on monthly premiums and prescription drugs. with original medicare, you're covered for hospital stays and doctor office visits, but you have to meet a deductible for each and then you're still responsible for 20% of the cost. next, let's look at a medicare supplement plan. as you can see, they cover the same things as original medicare and they also cover your medicare deductibles and co-insurance. but they often have higher monthly premiums and no prescription drug coverage. now, let's take a look at humana's medicare advantage plans. with a humana medicare plan, hospital stays, doctor office visits and medicare deductibles are covered. and, of course, most humana medicare advantage plans include prescription drug coverage. in fact, in 2018, humana medicare
6:57 am
advantage prescription drug plan members saved an estimated $7400, on average, on their prescription costs. most humana medicare advantage plans help you stay active and keep fit by including a silver sneakers fitness program at no extra cost. and, you may be able to save on dental and vision expenses, because coverage is now included with most humana medicare advantage plans. you get all this coverage for as low as a zero dollar monthly plan premium in many areas. and your doctor and hospital may already be a part of humana's large network. if you want the facts, call right now for the free decision guide from humana. there is no obligation, so call the number on your screen right now to see if your doctor is in our network; to find out if you can save on your prescriptions and to get our free decision guide. licensed humana sales agents are standing by, so call now. - in the last year, there were three victims

welcome to our busy world. where we all want more energy. but with less carbon footprint. can we have both? at bp, we're working every day to make energy that's cleaner and better. and we see possibilities everywhere. >> sandra: fox news alert. president trump making a statement on syria speaking from the white house from the diplomatic room. we expect that to happen one hour from now. just announced a few moments ago, 11:00 a.m. eastern time it will happen. the president earlier today claiming big success on the turkey/syria border. the creation of that safe zone, ending combat. heavy tensions do still remain. u.s. troops withdrawing from syria right now in iraq. more on all of this in just a moment. first another fox news alert. facebook ceo mark zuckerberg going face-to-face with lawmakers on capitol hill where he faces a grilling on trust issues as he pushes a new system for digital payments.
7:00 am
welcome to a brand-new hour of "america's newsroom," i'm sandra smith. >> bill: good morning to you. bill hemmer. brand-new hour. zuckerberg taking the hot seat again 18 months after his initial appearance seeking support for an idea about cryptocurrency for facebook. likely to get plenty of questions on claims of liberal bias and election security. gillian turner is live on the hill to watch all the action for us. let's begin with you, gillian. hello. >> good morning, bill. this is a huge moment for mark zuckerberg. this hearing that is getting underway as we speak right now is one of just a couple of appearances he has made in recent years in front of a house panel of lawmakers. he is the only witness, bill. facebook sources say he should expect a grilling on a whole range of issues. the focus today is the facebook roll-out of cryptocurrency and an opportunity to tell these lawmakers why he is the right guy and facebook is the right company to be help helm of the
7:01 am
huge global effort. he will stay the idea behind lib ra, sending money should be as easy and secure as sending the text message. a global payment system fully backed by a reserve of cash and other highly liquid assets. he will also have real talk with these lawmakers and talk to the major, major problems facebook has faced recently. he will say i believe this is something that needs to get built but i understand we're not the ideal messenger right now. we've faced a lot of issues over the past few years and i'm sure people wish it was anyone but facebook putting this idea forward. now, facebook's plan to roll out libra is in crisis now. they first announced the plan in june to a lot of fanfare. since then, though, libra has faced investors on wall street and elsewhere, major financial partners dropping like flies as well as one regulator after another slamming the company and saying they really have lost the public trust.
7:02 am
sources also say zuckerberg should expect a grilling of anti-conservative bias on the platform and silicon donations to the 2020 presidential campaign. >> california is an overwhelmingly left leaning place. if you look at the political donations from the tech companies, 90 plus percent of them go toward democrat candidates. i understand why people would ask the question of are my ideas getting a fair shake. and all that i can say on this is this is something i care deeply about. >> zuckerberg and a whole bevy of top officials have been up on capitol hill the last couple of days really trying to grease the skids in advance of this hearing hoping that getting some face time with the key lawmakers who oversee the company will make his testimony today less contentious. we'll let you know if that happens. >> bill: we're watching that for us from the hill.
7:03 am
another big story now. a new witness in the inquiry now taking questions on capitol hill. laura cooper who works at the pentagon. officially she is deputy assistant secretary of defense dealing directly we're told with matters that involve ukraine. this is a live camera right, guys? we're told republican lawmakers now getting ready to go inside for today's deposition. our interview, however you want to phrase it right now. we believe that there might be a camera that follows them in. huh? i want to bring in our a-team, cheryl casone and brad blakeman, robert torricelli. nice to see you all. see what they do. all three of you, how is this going so far? how do we read between the lines of the selective leaks and comments from both sides? >> any time you have a process supposed to be transparent that
7:04 am
is not is a problem. i think democrats are losing this battle because it is not transparent. remember, they're the ones who demanded the president release the transcript. almost contemporaneous their demand the president did it. they never expected the president to do it. now everything they demanded out of the president they're not doing themselves. >> sandra: just to be clear what is happening there if you've been following along, cheryl. matt gaetz the republican who wants transparency that's a live camera on capitol hill now. they are still prepping for them to step up. ifm owe live with my republican colleagues as we demand transparency in the impeachment inquiry. they are they there to demand increased transparency and want to be included in the impeachment process from house democrats. we don't know what they're about to do physically if they try to enter the room like he tried to do last time and was
7:05 am
removed. >> they'll stream it live on facebook. the thing of it is, for some of these witnesses i will say it would be nice to still protect some of these members of the intelligence committee. sensitive things are being brought about and talked about in these meetings. i'm still a fan of protecting the intelligence community and some that are testifying. having said that though, the problem the minute these committees are dismissed both sides come out with their spin on it. republican or democrat. it is hard for any of us to get the truth. it is a mixed bag. do you want to expose the intelligence community on one side or do you want transparency in the impeachment inquiry? >> how is it going so far? >> what's the objective here? is the goal here of the democrats in congress to inflict as much political damage on the president as possible going to an election year or actually remove him from office? i would ve argued if the goal was really impeachment they would have passed a resolution insuring that all sides had equal rights, the process was
7:06 am
fully followed so we did not have the argument over process. obviously testimony has been politically damaging to date. i know yesterday to be cautious in that everything said yesterday was hearsay. it doesn't mean it will be in the future. they may get to direct testimony. but there has been political damage. i am glad we've gotten past the issue of at least i think much of america has, the issue of rudy giuliani not being a diplomat carrying messages. they've been doing that since there was a republic. presidents aren't bound to have officials. nobody was complaining when john kennedy used a journalist to help settle the cuban missile crisis. >> bill: are they interested in impeachment? >> if they're going to have an impeachment trial it has to be this year.
7:07 am
you cannot have a trial in the senate in the back drop of the primaries going on. if this process is not accelerated quickly with a vote in early november in the house with a trial in december, then you are really getting the answer to my question which is this is a process about exposing what is seen as a failure of policy and not really an impeachment. >> sandra: lindsey graham is making the case the president is due the same rights as nixon. this sets a precedent the way democrats are dealing with this right now. here is lindsey graham. >> we cannot allow future presidents and this president to be impeached on a inquiry in the house not voted upon. give donald trump the same rights as richard nixon and bill clinton when it comes to impeachment. >> lindsey graham is right. the democrats cry all over the place about transparency. when it's their job to be transparent they clam up.
7:08 am
we really don't know what's going on behind closed doors. as soon as the inquiry is over with the witness, we're at the mercy of the spin by democrats and republicans. >> i think a lot of people feel that way and that's the frustrating part about all of this. are we politicizing something or -- >> something that troubles me more here, i hold no grief for the policy on ukraine. i don't agree with it. i think keeping ukraine free and democratic is the principle reward of the cold war and is essential. but here is what i want to say. not as a democrat or republican. the second impeachment in 20 years in the united states potentially. the bar must remain high. we cannot impeach presidents because we disagree on policy or the implementation on policy.
7:09 am
it needs to be a high crime and misdemeanor. it was not with lewinsky, not remotely to have a non-material fact to be enough for impeachment of bill clinton. is this really a high crime or misdemeanor tore a failure of policy or misjudgment? i'm posing the question. there is an issue of stability for the presidency if that question is not answered properly. >> i hope democrats are listening to the senator. you said it perfectly. i think this is the abuse that is happening now in the house far exceeds any crimes that are alleged against this president what's happening now. as you say, if the endgame is not to remove the president but so politically damage him for the next election they tramped on the constitution and it's wrong? >> and what happened during the clinton impeachment, it hurt the republicans. democrats, this is the political side of that but they need to remember it and tread carefully. >> i do care about that as a
7:10 am
democrat and i do want to see a democrat elected president. if you look at the polling in the swing states it's interesting. 10-point gap between people who want an impeachment inquiry and want impeachment. that 10% will decide the presidency. i would tread very carefully. >> bill: we talked a lot about that poll here on the program yesterday. cnn poll joe biden widening his lead over his challengers. at 34, warren and sanders at 19 and 16. mayor pete buttigieg and kamala harris at 6%. buttigieg not moving surprises me and biden increasing his lead despite the friction about ukraine. >> bill: first of all, i don't believe the race has changed. there is a democratic core sympathy for biden from what he has gone through that is boosting his numbers. this is still in my opinion an elizabeth warren race. she is the only one with the organization, she has the
7:11 am
money, she has the message. she is focused. joe biden is a sympathetic figure. the party generally likes him and rallying to him. the numbers will correct themselves in 30 days. >> separate poll came out with college students warren has gained it over sanders. >> i'm not too surprised by the national polls and more interested in the state polls of iowa and new hampshire. you aren't seeing the same trend. >> that is very true. elizabeth warren. >> the states with the most focus on the race it remains a warren edge. one other cautionary note. as someone who has been very impressed with the warren campaign, i've known joe biden for 30 years and i could not be more fond of him. he is a lovely man. the problem democrats are
7:12 am
facing in this race is if joe biden is the nominee, hunter biden becomes hillary clinton's emails. we can spend the entire presidential campaign when we should be talking about infrastructure and china and foreign relations. >> bill: if elizabeth warren is the campaign it becomes socialism. >> other than hunter biden's consulting contracts in china. >> on the democratic side. >> bill: tulsi gabbard and hillary clinton. roll this, guys. we have a moment. sound bite number seven. >> it is time for you to acknowledge the damage you've caused and it is long past time for you to step down from your throne so that the democratic party can lead with a new foreign policy, which will actually be in the interests of and benefit to the american people and the world. >> bill: queen hillary. >> they did great service to
7:13 am
this country. they don't need to apologize and explain to her or anybody else. >> i think tulsi gabbard is really making an interesting name for herself whether she makes the next debate because she is going for that moderate and turned aside what the republicans when it comes to the impeachment inquiry. it is fascinating. she -- she is still trailing. >> sandra: a lot happening in washington this morning. appreciate your time. major developments on syria. the president about to make a big announcement later this hour. syrian kurdish fires completing their pull-out from areas now under the control of turkey along with russian forces. the president just tweeted a short time ago he will be announce than a big success. congressman mac thornberry. >> hopefully the violence will stop but russia has more influence, turkey gets a lot of what it wanted although it had
7:14 am
to make a deal with russia to get it. it also means that assad has a greater presence in syria than he did before and the iranians benefit, too. >> sandra: benjamin hall is live in iraq this morning. what's the latest there? >> good morning, sandra. certainly still a lot of fallout from the u.s. withdrawal from syria. we're seeing a big move politically and militarily in syria and iraq where i am now. that deal we saw yesterday between president putin and erdogan carved up parts of northeast syria where the u.s. had its bases and its troops and now we're seeing russia move in quickly. today russian troops mobilizing both by land as well as by air pushing north to take control of some of those key areas on the border. we're hearing the kremlin is now warning kurdish forces aligned with the u.s. they have to get out of the buffer zones
7:15 am
in 150 hours, six days or they risk in their words being steam rolled by turkish forces. the agreement that was reached between erdogan and putin is now going to transform the map of northeast syria. turkey will be allowed to hold onto all the territory it took when it invaded eight days ago. russia and syrian troops are going to be able to patrol the border filling the vacuum left by the u.s. and as mentioned just at the top there another big winner here president assad. his troops are moving north taking the former isis capital and rare sighting of president assad west of syria. he said today clearly that his plan was now to recapture all syrian lands. another surprise move in iraq today. defense secretary esper was here visiting his counterpart. the iraqi government has said the u.s. troops who left syria will not be allowed to stay in iraq. they have four weeks to leave. the u.s. had always hoped and planned they would remain here
7:16 am
as a rapid reaction force if isis did spring up across the border in syria. they have just four weeks to leave. it remains to be seen if there is political wrangling. the kurds. 400,000 civilians stuck between the forces. they aren't sure where to go. russia all around them. still humanitarian crisis developing and very uncertain how it will play out. a lot of movement in a lot of different places. >> sandra: benjamin hall in iraq for us. breaking news in the college admissions scandal. actress lori loughlin and her husband now in hotter water. why the department of justice is slapping them and other defendants with new charges just days after their chance for a plea deal expired. >> bill: exxonmobile on trial. how the lawsuit says that company mislead investors over the risk of climate change. can they make their case?

they tell you a little bit of the evidence. they tell the attorneys what the plea offer is going to be. if you don't accept it they go to the grand jury. what the feds do i can tell you this as a defense attorney practicing in this area you must plead to the highest most readily provable offense. every time they go into the grand jury and ratchet up the charges she is looking at greater exposure and not accepting the responsibility doesn't give her the coveted reductions in the sentencing code like felicity huffman got for a lighter sentence. to quote the great mr. t, the more you wait, pain. >> bill: did mr. t say that? sounds to me like they're trying to squeeze her. >> there has been that rumor. what they're doing is giving her a break. we have this memo that says if we go in and get higher charges you have to plead guilty to the hire charge. we're giving you opportunities each step of the way to plead guilty to the lesser charges.
7:23 am
the more you refuse we go back in and supersede that indictment and get more charges. >> bill: on the screen. conspiracy to commit mail fraud, money landering and the new charge bribery. >> sandra: now to this big story. the only second climate change trial in the united states, exxonmobile is going to court. they are accused of misleading investors about the risks of climate change. what do we need to know about this, bob? >> this is under the martin act. going to be a pivotal case. hundreds of thousands of documents they wanted to keep internal have been released. what essentially the martin act is saying brought by the new york state attorney general there were fraudulent misrepresentations with regard to carbon regulations and the company is saying hey, investors, we got this covered. in fact the internal documents are showing that they had a different picture. what they did was gave assurances to investors which
7:24 am
affected share prices. in essence what they did is alleged had defrauded those investors with respect to share prices. >> sandra: #campaigns out there on this a big deal. the new york attorney general makes the case that exxon can advocate for itself, one of the largest companies in the united states, but another thing to defraud investors and to lie to investors. what will we find out here? >> absolutely. the allegations here is in one part internally they were doing research about global warming and climate change having recognized it is an issue that will affect the bottom line. it comes down to dollars. the bottom line of the company. outwardly they were giving a different story. that's where the whole case broke and why the lawsuit was brought. exxon's defense is we didn't misrepresent. we were internally doing things we would normally do with scientists to make sure we had the bases covered. they have indicated we did not misrepresent and we were not trying to make the value of the company look better so that the stock prices remained stable.
7:25 am
we'll see. >> sandra: a lot of people will be watching this one. there could be a lot more to come. bob, nice to see you. >> bill: quoting mr. t today. pity the fool. moments ago republican lawmakers demanding transparency in the impeachment inquiry tried to force their way into a closed-door session with a witness that is now underway. we're live on the hill and part of the scene a few moments ago. >> sandra: president trump and joe biden fighting it out in pennsylvania today. donna brazile is our headliner and we'll talk to her next. age d to near 50-year lows. newday usa can help you refinance your mortgage and save thousands a year. i urge you to call newday usa now.

did happen. do we have the assets on the ground to enforce whatever policy we want to develop? >> sandra: what does it mean, walid, knowing that this deal for the safe zone and to patrol the northern border there was
8:21 am
reached between turkish president erdogan and vladimir putin? put that in context and what that means for the united states to now have russia so involved there. >> initially a few months ago we have reached an agreement here with the turks to have joint patrols because if you want to have a safe zone it should be separating two forces, the turks and the kurds. we were not able. we didn't have a multi-national force so we deployed with the turks. suddenly it is an kara said it is not enough. we need the kurds to move away from it. we had to react. really the best was this. will turkey attack or will turkey won't attack? that was really the basis for why we accepted the conditions to basically ask the ypg or sdf to withdraw. they have now withdrawn. now russia came and replaced us. who is doing now the joint patrols?
8:22 am
it is russia and the turks. the result is yes, there was no humanitarian disaster of the size that we thought it could happen but there is one with those half million refugees. another problem is that our all aisles -- all -- allies are not there. >> sandra: the president will say a lasting cease-fire has been reached and he will be lifting the sanctions on turkey. we appreciate you standing with us. we await the president. >> bill: thank you, walid. in the meantime two american businessmen born in the former soviet union are in federal court today to be arraigned on charges including campaign finance violations. they were allegedly tapped by president trump's lawyer rudy giuliani to help into the ukraine probe into the bidens and the election of 2016.
8:23 am
we're outside the courthouse in new york city with that story. >> waiting on the arraignment for the two men who were arrested two weeks ago at dulles airport by federal agents with one way tickets out of the country. they arrived here this morning separately with their attorneys at the federal courthouse. the men traveled extensively with president trump's personal attorney rudy giuliani and the u.s. attorney says they and two other men were involved in schemes in illegally donating hundreds of thousand dollars of foreign money to influence elections for their own personal game. the video of pictures from one of the men's instagram accounts showing them on a private jet, campaign events and dinners across the country ahead of the 2018 elections and traveling with giuliani to london, paris, and warsaw. the men reportedly worked at the direction of giuliani to collect dirt on the u.s. ambassador to the ukraine and
8:24 am
push ukrainian officials to investigate joe biden and his son hunter. the federal charges focused on the illegal campaign contributions. >> these allegations aren't about a civil violation, technicality or error on a form. this investigation is about corrupt behavior, deliberate law breaking. the f.b.i. takes the obligation to tackle corruption seriously. there are no exceptions to this rule. >> the arraignment is scheduled in five minutes and enter a plea and remain free on bail. >> bill: thank you, sir as we're watching the podium at the white house. >> sandra: we're watching the white house expecting to hear from president trump any moment now. he is going to make an announcement on syria. he announced that himself on twitter this morning. we await that and we'll take you there live when he begins.

>> sandra: we're awaiting the president at the white house expected to make an announcement on syria. fox news reporting he is expected to lift sanctions on turkey and announce a lasting cease-fire deal has been reached. so we a await the president's remarks. running about a half hour behind now. we'll bring those to you live when he begins. stay tuned. >> i think that the foreign governments that were involved that were actually probably prodded or weaponized to do the dirty work of the obama administration are now going to be the achilles heel and people like clapper and brennan more likely than not prodding these governments to do their dirty work are now going to be telling barr and durham exactly what happened. >> bill: what does that mean? that's george papadopoulos talking about two obama-era officials possibly being questioned by the u.s.
8:29 am
prosecutor john durham expanding his investigations in the origins of the russian probe. former counsel to senate judiciary committee welcome back to our program. we might get interrupted. what do you think papadopoulos is onto there. >> it should give people comfort that john durham is going where the facts are. what i mean by that oftentimes you get in your head a picture of what you think the investigation is. but that is a disservice to what your mission is and john durham right now is following the evidence. where leads are, whether it's in europe or here. we knew all along there was information about interactions with the intelligence community that concerned people. >> bill: with regard to brennan and clapper what happens then? >> they need to answer questions. >> bill: like what? >> they need to answer what
8:30 am
were the interactions with professor misif. why was their undercover operations appearing to place campaign employees in compromising positions or to suggest that they might be able to compromise them? why was fisa court being utilized? why were we using what is supposed to be an effort to gain information about foreign terrorists, foreign intelligence agencies, why was it being used against the united states citizens at issue connected with the president's campaign? these are questions regardless of your politics we should know. >> bill: we put that question to andy mccarthy. he has the book, two hours ago here is how he answered that same question. >> if you look at the origins of the investigations it started with streams of foreign intelligence to the c.i.a. and passed to the f.b.i. going back to 2015. i don't see how you could do that without talking to those
8:31 am
people. brennan and clapper both testified before congress so they thought this was plenty relevant. >> bill: he is exactly right on that last point. >> that's right. they came out front and you get nervous when you have folks like clapper, like brennan who are adamant that this is something that the american people should be shocked by and we need to look into and investigate and then we start to unveil the fact that the dossier, for example, may have been purchased or the facts may have been contrived and presented to a judge without explaining some of the inconsistencies. those should be the badges of an investigation that give us pause and concern as to it being more political than authentic. >> bill: what do you think about the impeachment inquiry behind closed doors? i don't know what you are able to piece together based on bill taylor's opening statement. he came with a message certainly. that message lasted an hour in
8:32 am
his opening remarks. you read them and thought what? >> well, adam schiff is a former federal prosecutor and he is accustomed to working with a grand jury. a grand jury has only the federal prosecutor. you don't have the other side present and you present the evidence that you hand pick which is why there is always an indictment. he is going through the same motions. picking individuals. not allowing the president's attorneys to ask questions or not allowing for the republicans to subpoena evidence whether documents or witnesses, and so he is presenting it almost as though he were a federal prosecutor presenting a case to a grand jury. the problem is, it's not the grand jury. it is congress. and the american people want to know and they want transparency. >> bill: when do we see what he is on to, if anything? >> well, i think we see that when he wants us to see it and that's what is troubling. and so we do need to have more transparency and safeguards need to be present so that we
8:33 am
start to feel like as an american i want to know that both sides of an issue are being exposed. >> bill: okay. we were told that bill taylor leveled these long allegations against the white house, administration. and then afterwards we're told by people like kevin mccarthy his argument was destroyed in 90 seconds. that's what he said on fox last night. the only way to arbitrate that is to have a public hearing and allow people like you and me and everybody watching today to make up their own minds. does that happen? >> that's right, bill. what we want is to be able to see what the questions are and what are the responses. and what is the credibility of that witness? does it hold up when they're cross-examined or does it look as though they may have political bias? those are simple requests that you, me, we all have and we're entitled to if you are going to
8:34 am
go down the path of actually accusing a sitting president of committing crimes. >> bill: good to have you back today. come back soon, okay? more to discuss and i know you're aware of that. thank you for coming back. sandra now 35 minutes past the hour watching the podium. >> sandra: president trump and joe biden in pennsylvania today. biden delivering an address on economic policy. the president will make a speech in pittsburgh this afternoon touting his records on jobs and manufacturing in the state. jackie heinrich is live in scranton, pennsylvania with more. good morning. >> good morning, sandra. trump won pennsylvania by less than 45,000 votes in 2016. it is a battleground state where working class support is pivotal. biden is painting himself as part of it talking about his beginnings growing up in scranton when his dad lost his job and the importance of dignity. being able to afford higher education and healthcare insurance and contrasting his
8:35 am
record with president trump who he says engaged in reckless trade wars that hurt american workers. biden's message is to rebuild the middle class as a set of values trump has attacked by cutting taxes for the wealthy and corporations over middle class families. >> let's get something straight. with a street did not build america, the unions built the middle class. >> but biden might face an uphill battle for support. the trump campaign has been quick to remind voters pennsylvania lost 50,000 manufacturing jobs while biden was in office. those numbers are accurate. the country was coming out ofre. this afternoon the president will talk to foin pittsburgh and focus on job security. still the most recent cnn poll out this morning spells good news for biden back in the lead with 34% of democratic voters supporting him. up from the most recent quinnipiac poll with elizabeth
8:36 am
warren edging him out of first place. he said he would rejoin the paris climate accord and taking on the nra for gun control. >> sandra: thank you. >> bill: as we watch these events in pennsylvania we want our viewers to know we'll pause for a moment and allow the fox nations across the country to join our coverage. we've been given a three-minute warning inside the white house. we're well within that time limit now. we expect to see the president any moment now from the white house. here is what we believe he is about to say. tipped off everybody in a tweet earlier today talking about a cease-fire that has held so far in northeastern syria. pause for a moment and let's go. i'm bill hemmer live in new york watching live coverage of the president's remark on the situation in syria. welcome to our coverage along with sandra smith as we look at the message that was sent out three hours ago from the west wing. big success in the turkish/syria border. safe zone created.
8:37 am
cease-fire has held and combat missions have ended is part of the message we're about to hear from the commander-in-chief. >> sandra: getting reporting on what the president is expected to say any moment now that he is going to announce the conditions have been met to forge a lasting cease-fire in the region. also in those sanctions on turkey he is expected to announce that he is lifting those sanctions. one of the big questions, bill, when we were talking to congressman marc thornberry earlier was also will any u.s. troops be left to protect the oil fields there? the announcement originally by the president was a full troop withdrawal until we heard from mark esper, defense secretary, there may be some troops left to protect those oil fields. his question was will there be any clarity from the president on that? >> bill: we'll see if the clarification is given. 1,000 u.s. troops have been in the northeastern section of syria holding the line between
8:38 am
turkey and kurdish forces to the south. the troops have been withdraw moved to iraq. our understanding they'll stay there about four weeks is the agreement reached in baghdad a bit earlier today. a lot of moving parts here. the critics will tell you russia has more influence in this part of the middle east now and turkey gets what it wants, the buffer zone of security that extends 20 miles into syria. what turkey has said is they want to use that area to move back what they believe are in their words terrorists against their own territory and also take 3.5 million refugees who have gone into turkey as a result of the syrian conflict over the past five plus years and move them into that buffer zone. >> sandra: as far as the wording of the choice of words the president uses when he steps up to the microphone john roberts reporting he is not expected to use the word permanent when talking about the lasting cease-fire that has been brokered. we'll listen for all of that when the president begins any
8:39 am
moment now. >> bill: big concern about the oil fields. we'll see that. sandra you reference that and isis prisoners. there are estimates that could be as many as 10,000 prisoners and also sympathizers as a result of the ongoing conflict and home base there in the city of raqqa in northeastern syria. many european countries haven't wanted to take the prisoners back but there is a question if you can keep them secured and inside the prisons. so far for the greater majority of isis sympathizers and prisoners that effort has been successful. >> there will still be efforts by isis to reemerge with thornberry's warning and efforts by russia and assad to expand their control and he told us i can predict with 99.9% certainty that the u.s. will be tested in the weeks ahead. so we'll hear more from the president on all of this. >> bill: mike pompeo walking in
8:40 am
the room as we await a few seconds away. walid phares, stand by. here is the president as he comes into the room. walid, we'll get your comment after this. >> president trump: thank you very much. my fellow americans, i greet you this morning from the white house to announce a major breakthrough toward achieving a better future for syria and for the middle east. it has been a long time. over the last five days you have seen that a cease-fire that we established along syria's border has held and held very well. beyond most expectations. early this morning the government of turkey informed my administration that they would be stopping combat and their offensive in syria and making the cease-fire permanent and it will indeed be permanent. you would define the word
8:41 am
permanent in that part of the world as questionable. i believe it will be permanent. i have therefore instructed the secretary of the treasury to lift all sanctions imposed on october 14th in response to turkey's original offensive moves against the kurds in syria's northeast border region. so the sanctions will be lifted unless something happens that we're not happy with. this was an outcome created by us, the united states and nobody else. very simple. and we are willing to take blame and also willing to take credit. this is something they've been trying to do for many, many decades. since then others have come out to help and we welcome them to do so. other countries have stepped forward. they want to help and we think that's great. the nations in the region must ultimately take on the responsibility of helping turkey and syria police their
8:42 am
border. we want other nations to get involved. we have secured the oil and therefore a small number of u.s. troops will remain in the area where they have the oil and we are going to be protecting it and we will be deciding what we are going to do with it in the future. in any event by the moves that we've made we're achieving a much more peaceful and stable area between turkey and syria, including a 20-mile wide safe zone. an interesting term safe zone. that's the term we're using. hopefully that zone will become safe. thousands and thousands of people have been killed in that zone over the years. but it has been sought for many, many decades. i think we have something that is going to be strong and hold up. turkey, syria, and all forms of the kurds have been fighting for centuries. we have done them a great
8:43 am
service and we've done a great job for all of them in that we're getting out. a long time. we were supposed to be there for 30 days. that was almost 10 years ago. so we're there for 30 days and now we're leaving. supposed to be a very quick hit and let's get out and it was a quick hit except they stayed for almost 10 years. let someone else fight over this long blood stained sand. i want to thank vice president pence and secretary of state pompeo for leading the american delegation so successfully to turkey several days ago along with national security advisor o'brien. i want to thank them very much. the american delegation negotiated the original five-day cease-fire that ended
8:44 am
kurdish fighters to safely leave. it just got them to a point where frankly they were able -- it enabled them to get out and to go and move really just a few miles in a slightly different direction. so this enabled them to do so. countless lives are now being saved as a result of our negotiation with turkey. an outcome reached without spilling one drop of american blood. no injuries, nobody shot, nobody killed. i have just spoken to general mazlum. the commander-in-chief of the sdf kurds and he was extremely thankful for what the united states has done. could not have been more thankful. the general has assured me that isis is under very, very strict
8:45 am
lock and key and detention facilities are being strongly maintained. there were a few that got out, a small number relatively speaking, and they've been largely recaptured. i am also assured he will be issuing his own statement very shortly. we had a great talk. but we saved the lives of many, many kurds. he understands that. the war was going to be vicious and probably not very long and i'm very happy to have been involved in it, as are our vice president and our secretary of state, and all of the other people on our team by getting that cease-fire to stick. we've done something that's very, very special. but cease-fire after a tremendous amount of
8:46 am
really tough war for a very short period of days, that is something very special. our troops are safe and the pain and suffering of the three-day fight that occurred was directly responsible for our ability to make an agreement with turkey and the kurds that could never have been made without this short-term outburst. should turkey fail to honor its obligations including the protection of religious and ethnic minorities, which i truly believe they will do, we reserve the right to reimpose crippling sanctions including substantially increased tariffs on steel and all other products coming out of turkey. we are now an economic powerhouse like never before and very importantly like no other. our economic might is stronger than it's ever been and our competitors are not doing very
8:47 am
well. we also expect turkey to abide by its commitment regarding isis as a backup to the kurds watching over them should something happen turkey is there to grab them. further, we implore european countries to come and take those fighters that the u.s. captured and bring them back to their countries for incarceration and trial. until just recently europe has been very unresponsive in doing what they should have been doing for a long time. now is their chance to finally act. american forces defeated 100% of the isis caliphate during the last two years. we thank the syrian democratic forces for their sacrifices in this effort. they have been terrific. now turkey, syria, and others in the region must work to
8:48 am
insure that isis does not regain any territory. it's their neighborhood. they have to maintain it. they have to take care of it. there were some political pundits who responded to turkey's offensive in syria by calling for yet another american military intervention. i don't think so. but halting the incursion by military force would have required deploying tens of thousands of american troops against turkey, a nato ally and a country the united states has developed a very good relationship with, including president erdogan. the same people that i watched and read giving me and the united states advice were the people that i have been watching and reading for many years. they are the ones that got us
8:49 am
into the middle east mess. but never had the vision or the courage to get us out. they just talk. how many americans must die in the middle east in the midst of these ancient sectarian and tribal conflicts? after all of the precious blood and treasure america has poured into the deserts of the middle east, i am committed to pursuing a different course. one that leads to victory for america. through much work, we have done things that everybody said couldn't be done. today's announcement validates our course of action with turkey that only a couple of weeks ago was scorned and now people are saying wow, what a
8:50 am
great outcome, congratulations. it's too early to me to be congratulated. but we have done a good job. we've saved a lot of lives. most importantly, we have avoided another costly military intervention that could have led to disastrous far-reaching consequences. many thousands of people could have been killed. the last administration said assad must go. they could have easily produced that outcome but they didn't. in fact, they drew a very powerful red line in the sand. you all remember the red line in the sand when children were gassed and killed but then did not honor their commitment as other children died in the same horrible manner. but i did honor my commitments with 58 tomahawks. eight long years after president obama's ill-fated
8:51 am
push at regime change, u.s. troops are still on the ground in syria. more than half a million people are dead, hundreds of thousands are terribly injured, and millions more syrians are displaced. it really is a nightmare of misery. across the middle east we have seen anguish on a colossal scale. we have spent eight trillion dollars on wars in the middle east never really wanting to win those wars. but after all that money was spent and a all those lives lost, the young men and women gravely wounded, so many, the middle east is less safe, less stable, and less secure than before these conflicts began. the same people pushing for these wars are often the ones
8:52 am
demanding america open its doors to unlimited migration from war-torn regions, importing the terrorism and the threat of terrorism right to our own shores. but not anymore. my administration understands that immigration security is national security. as a candidate for president i made clear that we needed a new approach to american foreign policy. one guided not by ideology but by experience, history, and a realistic understanding of the world. we are building up america's military might like never before. investing 2 1/2 trillion dollars since my election. but we will not be depleted, we will not happen again. it will not be allowed to
8:53 am
happen again where our military is depleted fighting in areas of the world where we shouldn't be. when we commit american troops to battle, we must do so only when a vital national interest is at stake. and when we have a clear objective, a plan for victory, and a path out of conflict. that's what we have to have. we need a plan of victory. we will only win. our whole basis has to be the right plan and then we will only win. nobody can beat us. nobody can beat us. i want to again thank everyone on the american team who helped achieve the cease-fire in syria, saved so many lives. along with president erdogan of turkey. a man i have gotten to know very well and a man who loves
8:54 am
his country. and in his mind he is doing the right thing for his country. and we may be meeting in the th mazlum for his understanding and great incredible words today to me, but me just as a representative of the united states. because he knows that we saved tens of thousands of kurds and we're not talking in the long term, we're talking in the short-term. something that was going on immediately and something, frankly, that was planned for a long time. the job of our military is not to police the world. other nations must step up and do their fair share. that hasn't taken place. today's breakthrough is a critical step in that direction. thank you all very much and god bless america. thank you. thank you. >> mr. president you said the isis fighters have been
8:55 am
recaptured but today your top envoy said they don't know where they are. do you have a comment? >> bill: the words of the president long ago. he announced a cease-fire as permanent adding permanent to be questionable in that part of the world. here is what we know. 1,000 u.s. troops are pulled out less than a week ago. sanctions removed from turkey saying the oil has been secured in the area. a small amount of u.s. troops will stay to protect that oil. some of the major headlines right now saying the 20-mile wide zone has been created and for now we're getting out. the words of the president at the white hol and the fox stati continuing coverage on this story. i'm bill hemmer in new york. have a good day. we'll see you very soon. and now our coverage continues on cable and immediate reaction, senator rand paul from kentucky. welcome here. you just heard the president. your reaction is what?
8:56 am
>> the president is to be complimented. what a great statesman-like speech. amazing by allowing this to occur we have a realignment in turkey, in syria, that may lead to peace for the first time in eight years. this is exactly why we must defeat the mcconnell resolution. that says that we would disallow president trump from meeting with erdogan. i think we need to see the world as it is and it's important the president meet with erdogan. his conversations so far are leading towards peace. >> bill: he said if turkey fails we can reimpose sanctions. do you trust erdogan? >> i think trust has to be verified and it's verified over time. permanent cease-fire sounds great and i appreciate the president negotiating this. we'll see over time. the way you treat people depends on behavior. it is very important we not slap sanctions on turkey that never go away. the president is now removing sanctions because the turks are
8:57 am
actually not following through with a further incursion and i think there actually is a possibility the kurds have had many lives saved here by the president's action. i think there is also the possibility for the kurds to negotiate a semi autonomous region where they would share in oil receipts with the assad government. it is a big day. >> bill: last question. ro khana both want u.s. troops to come back home. he made the case here on this program before the president came out there was a better way to do this. is he right? >> well, i think what you are finding is the president acted decisively to move 50 troops out of the way of tens of thousands of troops. i think the president did exactly the right thing. what you are seeing is a realignment and more engagement than we've seen in eight years. a war that was started with president obama getting us involved in a senseless way in the middle east again but now
8:58 am
it looks like we may actually see a realignment and possible peace plan that will come about because of president trump's decisive action. >> >> senator, thank you for that discussion. we will speak again very soon. >> a lot of news out of washington this morning, obviously the president's announcement on syria there at the white house and you have the hearing on going on capitol hill with mark zuckerberg and the behind the closed door testimony of another witness for the impeachment. thank you for joining us everybody, "outnumbered" starts right now. >> it's a big news day as the president is listing sanctions imposed on turkeys saying that nation has agreed to make the cease-fire with the kurds in northern syria "permanent." but the commander in chief is warning the u.s. will step back
