[laughs] you are hilarious. greg and jesse, how could you ever miss an episode of "the five." always dvr us and you can watch "special report" up next. he, brett. >> bret: hey, data, i have shoes on. all about politics and impeachment as the house debates a formal condemnation. iran's foreign minister suggest the republics missile program could be up for negotiation with the west. and is google guilty of treason for working on artificial intelligence with china? the president now wants to know. this is "special report." ♪ good evening, welcome to washington, i'm bret baier. some house republicans are defending the president tonight if not especially defending his tweets critical of a group of progressive democrat lawmakers. this evening the house is considering a formal

condemnation. the president in the meantime is digging in, maintaining his stance that people who hate the u.s. should leave. we have fox team coverage, mark meredith is on capitol hill with an upset on that condemnation resolution. we begin with chief white house correspondent john roberts on the north lawn tonight. good evening, john. >> good evening to you. under fire from even members of his own party, president trump appeared eager today to move past the offending feet from to to my tweet from sunday and put the focus not on personality, but on policy. in an attempt to maintain solidarity among republicans ahead of the houseboat to condemn his sunday tweet, president trump insisted those tweets were not racist. "i don't have a racist bone in my body." in an interview, his secretary of state, mike pompeo, backed him up. >> race has nothing to do with this. >> not once. >> meeting with the cabinet today, the presidents of the issue is not about him, it's about what congresswoman

alexandria ocasio-cortez, rashida tlaib, ayanna pressley and ilhan omar say and do. >> they shouldn't hate our country. if you look at what they've said, i have clips right here. the most vile, horrible statements about our country, about israel, about others. it's up to them. they can do within one. they can leave, they can stay, but they should love our country and they should work for the good of our country. >> one of the congresswoman, alexandria oak oscar cortes fired right back at president trump in a tweet saying "you're right mr. president, you don't have a racist bone in your body. if you have a racist mind in your head and a racist heart in your chest varied that's why you violate the rights of children and tell the congresswoman who represents your home borough to go back to my country." it's certainly not the first time the president has stopped controversy. it literally from the moment he

launched his 2016 campaign he has faced criticism over some of his comments about minorities. >> when mexico sends us people, they are not sending their best. they are bringing drugs, they are bringing crime that they are rapists. >> you're living in poverty, your schools are no good, you have no jobs, what do you have to lose? >> no republicans have come forward to defend sunday's tweets, though a number have said they don't think it was racist. and they have jumped on his efforts to save the so-called squad now defines the democratic party. the president tweeting "nancy pelosi try to push them away, but now they are forever wedded to the democrat party. see you in 2020." >> look what a handful of members of congress say things that are in the tone of the fact that they blame america for so much of the trouble in the world, that deeply troubling. >> the president appeared to hold the political high ground last week when he scolded the squad for criticizing house speaker nancy pelosi, but in a single tweet on sunday, the president unified the

democratic party and now the open question is can he prevent republicans from defecting tonight and voting against him, bret. >> bret: john roberts live on the north lawn. thank you. some to the president was trying to get those for as the face of the democratic party. if the house is expected to vote later tonight on a resolution condemning the president's tweets and comments. correspondent mark meredith is on capitol hill to tell us where things stand right now. it's good evening, mark. >> is a mention, right now house lawmakers are expected to vote this evening on a resolution to condemn president trump for his remarks, but within the last few hours, house speaker nancy pelosi has been accused of violating house decorum for some comments that she made earlier today. house majority leader steny hoyer said essentially that pelosi broke house rules when she made these comments on the house floor. >> every single member of this institution, democratic and republican should join us in condemning the president's racist tweets. to do anything less would be a

shocking rejection of our values and the shameful abdication of our oath of office. >> georgia republican congressman doug collins challenge pelosi over those remarks. at this hour, it's unclear how many, if any, house republicans will support the resolution that condemns the president. we are seeing some pushback from g.o.p. leaders with some saying this is all about politics. this is not about the good of the country. g.o.p. leaders are also stopping short of calling the remarks or the president a racist. >> from the president come into the speaker, to freshman members of the house, all of us have a responsibility to elevate the public discourse. our words do matter. >> i believe this is about ideology. this is about socialism versus freedom and it's very clear what the debate is happening. >> a small number of republicans have come out publicly to say that they believe the president's remarks were racist and not acceptable. we are expecting that -- a vote on the resolution to happen

sometime around 7:30 or 8:00, but that time may change depending on how the debate goes. in the house it has been a wild day here on capitol hill. >> bret: mark meredith live on the hill, thanks. president trump says the u.s. is not going to sell at 35 fighter jets to turkey after its purchase of an air defense system from russia. trump administration contending the russian weapon is incompatible with nato defenses and could jeopardize sensitive information about f-35 technologies. president trump has blames the obama administration for never reaching a deal to sell an american missile system, defense system to turkey. democratic presidential candidate senator elizabeth warren is accusing the president's pick of running the pentagon of corruption. horn said during the confirmation hearing for army secretary mark esper for the defense secretary position, that his refusal to recuse himself from decisions involving his old employer is grounds for his rejection as defense secretary.

warren asked if he would repeat a pledge he made during his army secretary confirmation process to avoid dealing with them for two years. >> if you are confirmed, will you do the same, and commit to extending your recusal from any and all matters involving rep jan for the duration of your tenure as secretary of defense? >> on the advice of my ethics folks at the pentagon, career professionals, no, the recommendation is not to. >> bret: senator warren, by the way, received nearly $9,000 from raytheon for her campaign in 2018. the company is headquartered outside boston. iran is, for the first time, hinting it might have some flexibility regarding one of its weapons programs, but it would want something big in return from the u.s. correspondent trey yingst has the latest from our middle east newsroom. >> iran's ballistic missile program could be a bargaining chip for the country impossible

negotiations with europe and the united states. a development that secretary pompeo said proved the u.s. maximum pressure is working. resident from seemed to want to hear more. >> we want to help them, we will be good to them, we will work with them. we will help them in any way we can, but they can't have a nuclear weapon. >> but iran's willingness to put its ballistic missile program on the table comes with one condition: america stops arms sales to the middle east. the revelation made by prime minister during an interview with nbc news in new york city. more than 6,000 miles away, iran's supreme little, the ayatollah, spoke in tehran. he lashed out at the europeans, who he said have not held up their end of the bargain in the iran nuclear deal. iran is now violating the deal by surpassing the uranium enrichment and stockpile limits laid out in the agreements. >> you have commitments and you

have fulfilled none. why do you manned us fulfill our schematics because they are now demanding europe find a way to relieve the economic pressure with a nuclear deal will be a thing of the past. during his confirmation hearing, president trump's defense secretary nominee mark esper told senators that he had no brought plans to change the u.s. strategy to combat iranian aggression, but that war is not the goal with iran. in the middle east, the possibility of war it's much closer to home. overnight, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu said europe might ignore the iranian threat until the nuclear missiles hit, equating the current state of affairs to the west ignoring dangers of germany in 1939. bret. >> bret: trey yingst in our middle east newsroom, thanks. let's get some inside information now on the trump foreign policy. policy. u.s. ambassador to germany spoke today at the richard nixon presidential library and museum about the 50th anniversary of the nixon doctrine and how it relates to the current of administration. he joins us from california. ambassador, thanks for joining

us. >> thanks for having me, bret. >> bret: first let me talk about the story we just heard, that is about iran suggesting that it might be willing to negotiate over its ballistic missile program if the u.s. agrees not to sell weapons systems to gulf nations. where is the administration on all that? >> look, first of all, let's credit the president for bringing people to the table, and this is what my speech really tried to talk about, which is the trump doctrine and how realistic it is, and the fact is that we see it play out with iran where the president has made very clear that he would sit down with this current regime and try to work through all of these issues. not only the nuclear deal, but the ballistic missile technology issues as well as the malign activities. so i'm not surprised that the sanctions are working that president trump put on and that the pressure that the iranians are feeling are bringing them to the table. that was the goal. that was the goal with

north korea, and we seen the north koreans come to the table. we are hoping the iranians will come to the table. look, he's a very difficult issues. there's a lot to work through. if we have lot of specific issues that we are going to have to sit down and talk. but the goal here is to bring the current regime back to the table so that we don't have any more wars or military action that's unnecessary. president trump is putting diplomacy first and i think that's what the trump doctrine is all about. >> bret: you made a splash when you took over as ambassador in berlin. he started by tweeting out the german companies should stop operating in or with iran, and the chancellor at the time said your style took a lot -- a little time to get used to. your sense of where iran is now feeling the back end of some of the sanctions and what europe is doing now? >> i talked to european ceos and businesses all the time. they are complying with the u.s.

sanctions, that's not a problem, that's not an issue. we've made it perfectly clear that companies get to choose either iran or the united states, they just don't get to choose both and i think they are choosing when we make it clear that we are watching, and that we are going to follow up, are choosing to turn away from iran. that's the squeezing of the sanctions that are bringing the iranians back to the table. the europeans, you have to remember, bret, while they are disappointed in us withdrawing from the jcpoa, if you look at their statements, even when the iranians just violated the jcpoa, the european foreign ministers issued a statement. if you go back to when we exited the jcpoa, the iran -- sorry, the european foreign ministers issued a statement then, so we have multiple statements from the european foreign ministers making it very clear that they share the same goal as the united states, denying iran a nuclear weapon and getting rid of the iranian support for

terrorism and ballistic missile pursuits. we share the same goal. if we have a little bit different tactics, so my job is to communicate to the germans and to make it very clear that we share the same goal and we want to have their support in cracking down on iranian regime money. that's what the sanctions are trying to do. >> bret: talked about the trump administration's kind of view of the world. 50 years ago today apollo 11 launched and we are looking back at the 50th anniversary of that kind of momentous occasion and the moon landing and the world looking back at that and at that time saying the u.s. was kind of leading the world when it came to space. how do you perceive the world and its view of the u.s. now from where you sit? >> look, i think it's extremely important to not want the roar of the crowd, and to be the popular one.

i serve at the u.n. and i can tell you that it's very popular for other countries to want a week u.s. and what president trump has said is he's willing to make progress, and he's willing to fix these deals and is going to ignore the popularity contest. if one thing i will say is that barack obama was wildly popular in germany and yet the germans failed to support his economic program. they failed to bring back the prison guard that was living in new york city. they started this pipeline. they didn't raise their defense spending. i'm not sure the popularity is really what we should be going for. under president trump, we've seen defense spending increase from the germans not enough. we are not at the 2% where they committed to be. we have to still push them, but if you look at the commitments through 2020 of all of europe and the canadians for nato

spending, you will see that $100 billion, that's 100 billion with a "b" ," increased defense spending for our share defense. that is directly because of president trump. i have to say that i think the tweets of the pressure campaign is working. >> bret: must think, quickly, speaking of tweets. you have some world leaders laying in on this back-and-forth with the president and his four democrat lawmakers. some of them calling the president's tweets racist. some republicans saying that. what's your sense of that and how it plays around the world? >> first of all, let's remember how the world views the u.s. immigration policy. they see it as extremely generous. we allow a million people a year to come into the united states. i don't think it's too much to say follow the rules, because we have more than a million people that want to come in. if you look at the crisis on the border, it's clear both parties have said that there's a crisis, but we are not seeing the support in congress for

increasing the funding and dealing with this border crisis. at the same time, we are being criticized by many members of congress who are comparing the border situation nazi germany or concentration camps. that's outrageous. that is not what the world sees or looks at. they see a border that is overwhelmed with people wanting to get into the united states because of what's happening here in terms of our economy. this is a crisis that needs to be fixed, and congress needs to get to work. >> bret: ambassador life from the nixon library and museum, appreciate the time. >> thanks, bret. ♪ >> bret: it now to america's election headquarters, the democrats vying for a change to replace -- a chance to replace president trump, iowa tonight, the first caucus state, they are talking about health care with iowa seniors.

that he could beat the hell out of president trump. now they are just talking about exercising and if things cool off between the two of them anymore, maybe they will be talking about just debating. bret. >> bret: peter doocy live in sioux city, thanks. former south carolina governor and congressman mark sanford is considering a challenge to president trump for the republican nomination next year. sanford tell fox news he believes the country is near a financial tipping point of no return based on the buildup of debt, deficits, and the associated government spending with that. still ahead, we will tell you why one tech billionaire says google is guilty of treason. and up next, puerto rico's governor is dealing with his own social media crisis. we will tell you what he did. most people think a button is just a button. ♪ that a speaker is just a speaker.

torn down. you see time after time patriotism being attacked in this country, the sign of americanism being attacked. and he's going to talk about those things and bring up a long record of people like aoc saying america's garbage and capitalism is irredeemable. he's willing to talk about those things. >> i guess my question is does that make it okay for the president of the lawmakers to go back to the places from which they came. that seems to be the stem of the criticism about these are racist tweets. >> bret: the republicans have weighed in. eight of them in the senate, 24 of them in the house have come out condemning the president's remarks. also commenting on the democrats remarks. here's the senate majority leader and other republicans as well today. >> the president is not a racist, and i think the tone of all of this is not good for the country. but it's coming from all different ideological points of view. >> i believe this is about ideology. if this is about socialism versus freedom. >> the president's remarks were

inappropriate. many legitimate criticisms you can make a post for members of congress, but you shouldn't use terminology like that. >> bret: so we just learned that they do have the votes to pass this resolution in house. katie. >> just to answer the question, of course it doesn't make it necessarily okay. and of course the tweet was inaccurate. it was false. you shouldn't be telling americans to go back to the countries, but when you look at the things that someone like ilhan omar, who was brought into the country under the grace of the american people as a refugee, she does oh some form of gratitude instead of trying to tear down the country at all costs and if we are going to talk about this in terms of holding everybody accountable, let's hold her accountable, let's hold aoc accountable for the horrible things that they are also saying about fellow americans despite their skin color. >> bret: should we leave it there? >> i think, honestly the whole country wishes we could leave it there and move on to something practical that might actually help improve their lives. >> bret: i'm not sure this is

it. next up, is google committing treason by working with china? we will look into that as well. ♪ ♪ limu emu & doug look limu. a civilian buying a new car. let's go. limu's right. liberty mutual can save you money by customizing your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. oh... yeah, i've been a customer for years. huh... only pay for what you need.

i think when ice formation as they figure they have to because if they don't give it to them through the front door, it will get stolen through the vectors. >> i meet with google ceo on a regular basis. i think they're working for america, for our military, not for china. >> i would like to recommend to the various agencies, including perhaps our attorney generals who was with us to maybe take a look. and we will see if there's any truth to it. >> bret: google responding to this call for an investigation whether they are working with the chinese military. with a statement saying as we have said before we do not work with the chinese military, but here is the chairman of the joint chiefs back in march with a bit of a warning. >> the work that google is doing in china is indirectly benefiting the chinese military. indirect may be not a full characterization of the way it really is. it's more of a direct benefit to

the chinese military. >> bret: what about this? back what i found. kind of interesting to hear president way in, saying i want to know what's going on. >> it is. john roberts actually asked him that question and i think it's interesting that he said -- he basically directed his attorney general to look into it. another interesting aspect of that is in some ways it connects him, or puts them in the same area as some of the democrats were talking about breaking up a big tech. he's not calling for google to be broken up, but that is a similar issue. take a close look at this big giant technology company and their influence in china and elsewhere. >> bret: it does seem like we're going to a tipping point and that she issue whether it's privacy and facebook. there is a lot that is brewing here. here is senator ted cruz on google and its political power. >> google is a monopoly. google may well be the most powerful company office of the planet because they have a monopoly on information, on what you know and what i know. and not only that, but google owns youtube, which is the

second most popular website on the face of the planet. and the problem is they use these monopoly powers to silence voices don't like. >> bret: what about that, katie? >> there are all kinds of questions about domestic censorship on the chinese issue, the cyber experts i've talked to and people who work in tech and the government say, look, when these companies become bigger than the country, there are very serious questions about whether they have an obligation in terms of patriotism to their country to work with the u.s. government on certain issues. a number of google employees have decided they are not going to work with u.s. government, and maybe that's okay, but those are the questions. when google says they are not working with the chinese military, the chinese military is directly connected to the chinese government, so then you given to questions about other types of security, are they stealing information at the pentagon is using to then engage in the same kind of technology in terms of the battlefield, so there are all kinds of questions that we have as we continue to go into more cyber warfare cyber

issues domestically. >> bret: stephen. >> i think we need to separate the china issue from all the others. the china issue is a really serious national security point. china has a stated aim of toppling the u.s. as a world superpower. they're planning to do that primarily through technology, applied to the military and elsewhere. and that's funded by their economy. and whether deliberately or inadvertently google and other tech companies, reported last week that ibm is one of them. are helping china to build their surveillance state and establish their superiority in areas like ai and quantum computing. that is a real threat not just to america, but to the world. you don't want an authoritarian regime like that running the world. so that's that, but on the domestic stuff, the antitrust conversation, there again i think we need some tough action because if you believe in markets, if you believe in competition, even if you're worried about the censorship someone, what you want to see is a much more competitive situation in each of these areas. that's why i agree with the

cause to break these companies out. >> bret: i think is going to be a lot more on capitol hill in the coming days and weeks. in the meantime, that resolution passed 240-187 to condemn the president of the united states. over under that we will hear from the president after the smoke? >> i'm sure he will weigh in. >> bret: when we come back, thank you panel, a hero's returned home. ♪ choosing my car insurance was the easiest decision ever. i switched to geico and saved hundreds. that's a win.
