He didnt want to burden general kelly also with that line of succession as i think weve made clear a few times over the course of the last couple of days to several of these individually but general kelly has the full authority to operate within the white house and all staff will report to him. All staff will report to general kelly including ivanka trump and Jared Kushner which is a change in the chain of command at the white house because it used to be that ivanka and jared had their direct line of communication, scaramucci had a direct line of communication, bannon and chief of staffs office. That will all change. As to what will happen with scaramucci, we understand that he asked to return to the Export Import Bank to his previous position. No word yet from the white house as whether or not that will happen. When asked about it yesterday Sarah Huckabee sanders says he does not have a job in the Administration Currently but going back to xm. Shannon you have been rung down the reports that the president was involved in a statement that donald trump junior issued after meeting with the russian lawyer during the campaign and the meeting came to light. This happened a few weeks ago when the president was on his way back from the g20 when it came out that donald trump junior had the meeting with the russian attorney as well as a number of colleagues of hers. The Washington Post is reporting last night and again today that the president dictated the initial statement in reaction to that aBoard Air Force one on his way back. Lets review what the initial statement was with you. It was a short introductory meeting. The adoption of russian children that was active and popular with American Families years ago and ended by the russian government. It was not a Campaign Issue at the time. There was no followup. I was asked to attend the meeting by an acquaintance and not told the name of the person i would be meeting beforehand. Thats july 8th. Weve since found out that by looking at an email chain the initial offer from the attorney and the People Associated with her was that she had dirt on Hillary Clinton that may or may not have come from the russian government she wanted to share. It turned out that information was of no consequence. Getting some degree of pushback here on the idea that the president dictated that particular initial statement. Jay sekulow, one of the president s outside counsel. Apart of being no consequence theyre inaccurate and not permanent. Talking with other sources there does appear to be a bit of a disconnect between that statement was that initially made and what don junior and his associates were initially prepared to do. They wanted full disclosure of the emails and more transparency rather than that statement that came out initially. Shannon john roberts live at the white house. Bill a ton to analyze right now. Fox news contributor rich lowry with me in studio. Well see whether or not its a new day as a lot of people say for the last 24 hours. Politico writes the following. Kelly assembled senior aides in his office and laid down rules of the road. More accountable. More limitations and access, more structure, better briefings and information for the president. White house staff where everyone reports to kelly. Is that where were going . Thats exactly the right approach. If the white house will get on the right track its what they need. Since theyve been getting so many basic things wrong, bill, righting the ship should be relatively easy. A more orderly process in the oval office ending the zoo in there where anyone can come in at any time and bend the president s ear on anything. More orderly process and making a Strategic Communications plan that they follow through. Bill you might agree with Charles Krauthammer when he said the following last night. The Trump Administration hit bottom last week and seems to have bounced off the bottom and if the president will allow kelly some control over the president s own unrestrained impulses, that is tweeting, that will be a tremendous advantage and it would give this administration a chance of succeeding. Bill a lot of people have an issue with tweeting. His supporters dont think that. He went 24 hours without one and one fired off 15 minutes ago. You have to hope the scaramucci interview with the new yorker was rock bottom in terms of the chaos and the ouster of him sent a clear message that kelly now is in charge. And people say trump can never change . Thats true in the most fundamental sense but we saw during the campaign there was a discernible difference between he was different it it might have been enough to get him over the top. Bill i wonder what the negotiations were like with secretary kelly. The Washington Post, what john roberts mentioned. Whether true or not well see where it goes. Whoever leaked that story was on Board Air Force one and thats a small circle, rich it goes to the point that everyone in that white house has been talking to reporters constantly. So its not scaramucci will stop the leaks and fire people. Its not the low level people you worry about. Its the very top levels of the white house felt they had to talk to reporters to protect themselves, to promote their own agendas and another task for kelly is can you make the white house staff less factionalized so they dont feel they have to cover themselves. You cant stop leaking but you want to manage it. Leaking can be useful if youre putting out the correct kind of leak to help push your agenda rather than the sort of back biting. Bill a twisted loop. Rich lowry, national review. Shannon breaking news overnight in venezuela as chaos in the socialist regime continues. Opposition leaders being dragged from their homes and placed in custody. Their whereabouts are unknown and many suspect president mod era is responsible. New sanctions were slapped on him. Steve, why is this happening now . Its clear by the nature of these raids that venezuelas president is trying to intimidate the opposition. The raids took place after midnight in the homes of two prominent opposition leaders. In each of the cases because of security video or family members filming you can hear family members scream theyre taking my husband and father away. One was in his pajamas dragged away and his daughter is screaming its a dictatorship. To put fear into the heart of opposition. Both leaders are former mayors of caracas and under house arrest and called for public opposition to what mad ear owe is trying to do now. Rewrite the constitution. Shannon its terrifying video in a country where we have a lot of freedom. What can the u. S. Do about this in a foreign nation . The u. S. Took more steps yesterday. They put the president under sanctions barring him from any activity, Economic Activity with the u. S. His reaction to that was really just snide. He said bring on more sanctions, donald trump. The real question is will the u. S. Go further for oil sanctions. Any sanctions against Venezuelas Oil industry could devastate that countrys economy. The risk is it could increase the suffering of the venezuelan people. Theyve called him a dictator. So far no hits against the oil industry. That will be the big test if the u. S. Is willing to go that far to push things. Shannon it takes it to another level. Bill one thing that really drives this story home for folks in this country is to see people on black an white video being taken from their homes. Shannon family members are screaming. Bill takes the story to a new level. Two other big stories. President trump pushing republicans try again on healthcare. Republican senator jeff flake says its time for a new way. I think weve about reached the limits of what we can do with one party. I think well have to involve the other party. We tried. I voted for it. I would have liked to have kept healthcare alive that way. Bill what is next . Jeff flake the senator from arizona is our guest next live. Shannon the scars of war clearly visible on the faces of those left behind as isis retreats in iraq. The urgent call for aid as doctors in that city warn of a humanitarian crisis of epic proportions. We are helpless from our government, from our politicians. Are you getting the help from the government you need . We get talk. Hundreds of dollars on youmy car insurance. Saved me huh. I should take a closer look at geico. dog panting geico has a 97 Customer Satisfaction rating and fast and friendly claims service. Speaking of service . Oooo, just out. It was in. Out. In out. In what about now . That was our only shuttlecock. Take a closer look at geico. Great savings. And a whole lot more. Ykeep you sidelined. Ng thats why you drink ensure. With 9 grams of protein and 26 vitamins and minerals. For the strength and energy to get back to doing. What you love. Ensure. Always be you. I am like 1,000 percent with donald trump on this. We should be politically horse whipped if they dont try again. Take all the money under obamacare and block grant it back to the states. That ends single payer healthcare, the government closest to the people is the best government. The healthcare closest to the people is the best healthcare. Bill senator Lindsey Graham continuing to work on repeal and replace. My next guest says it is time to go in a different direction. He is the writer of a book. Senator is jeff flake. The white house is saying dont move on from healthcare, get it done. To that you say what . We need to get it done more than 200,000 arizonians will make up this morning without healthcare. They will have paid the fines and still cant afford to have a policy. Equal or larger number will have a policy but cant afford to use it because the deductibles are too high. We need reform. Were at the end of the rope in terms of trying to do it alone, though. I just cant see how were going to get just as republicans. Bill the people in your home state you wonder how could john mccain cast the vote he did knowing the facts youre laying out. John mccain has preached from day one we need to have regular order and do it in the right way through committee. His vote was consistent with his approach and i respect that. Bill ted cruz says republicans will get an earful and he would argue deserve addly so. Weve been saying forever we need to fix this and we werent able to do so. So i think we ought to stick with it certainly. But i think we ought to do it in a way we can actually see the end. And the end is going to be sitting down with our colleagues from the other side of the aisle and getting something passed. Bill well figure out what democrats are willing to give on that and well discuss that. A great debate today. Does an effective tax strategy make it better or easier for republicans . Easier. What the president put out with the policy particulars, its republican orthodoxy, lower the rates, broaden the base. I hope we can move forward. It is vital now for republicans to move forward on tax reform. Bill the book youve written is getting a lot of attention because many have seen it as your dislike of the president. I see it differently but this is one of the quotes you give on screen. If this was our bargain, it was not worth it. If ultimately our principles were so mailable as to no longer be your criticism doesnt start now, it starts with president bush 43. No child left behind. Prescription drug medication not paid for. You are an antibig government senator so how then does donald trump fit into those principles . I got to congress in 2001, myself and mike pence ran conservative think tanks in the 90s. We got to congress with vim and vigor ready to go and mike joked one time saying i feel like were minutemen arriving at the battlefront and told the revolution is over. And thats how we felt. We got no child left behind. Prescription drug benefit and in 2006 we were turned out of the majority and lost the white house in 2008. So this problem of principle that were having now didnt start with President Trump. It started long before. Some of the policies the president has put forward, policies of isolationism, those are foreign to conservatives. Weve always believed in free trade and conservatives have always been more steady in demeanor and comportment. That means something. Chaos is not a good principle. Bill you are making the case for the party to get back on its principles and you said you also let youll oppose the president when you think he is wrong and support him when you think he is right and you said why you think he is wrong. Tell us when you believe he has been right. He appointed a Great Supreme Court justice neil gorsuch. On regulatory policy he has been right. Our economy has been badly over regulated. Tax policies are right. He is wrong on free trade to turn down the tpp or Transpacific Partnership will haunt us for years. Not just in terms of the economy but in geopolitical areas as well. These countries particularly in Southeast Asia need to be in our trade orbit, not just china. Well be left behind in the world that is already globalized if they dont enter into free trade agreements. Bill a statement from Barry Goldwater is the title of the book. 21 past, shannon. Shannon early in his presidency president reagan used addresses from the oval office to help him connect with voters. This is not the time for political fun and games. This is the time for a new beginning. Shannon one of our guests thinks President Trump can do the same thing to drive his message home and much more right after the break. Your brain changes as you get older. But prevagen helps your brain with an ingredient originally discovered. In jellyfish. In clinical trials, prevagen has been shown to improve shortterm memory. Prevagen. The name to remember. Bill President Trump awarding a medal of honor for actions in combat during the vietnam war to this man. Honored for risk his life to help 10 Wounded Soldiers despite serious injure sees of his own. The strength and pride of our nation was beating inside of jims heart. Jim did what his father had taught him. He gave it his all. He was prepared to lay down his life so his brothers in arms could live theirs. Bill five men whose lives he helped save were there to watch him receive that medal at the white house. Well done. We have the highest stock market in history. We have gdp on friday. Got very little mention. 2. 6 is a number that nobody thought they would see for a long period of time. The enthusiasm level is incredible. We have a lot of tremendous things going. Shannon President Trump praising the performance of his markets. The dow rising to 60 points yesterday to finish out the day at 21,891. The president continued to tap the economy this morning. Stock market could hit alltime high again. 22,000 today. Were watching closely. With 18,000 only six months ago on election day. Mainstream media seldom mentions. Joining me from the Fox Business Network maria bartiromo. He is talking about the markets up. Wages up. Depends who you ask whether he should get credit for that in part, full or not at all. The truth is things are definitely getting better. Were near full employment when you look at where we are in terms of jobs. Were seeing a much better confidence in terms of individuals as well as executives and as a result there is a little more spending on the part of businesses. Thats really been where the recession has been. Businesses have been sitting on cash for a decade because they were strangled by regulation. They didnt know what was around the corner. I think there is no question the stock market rally initially was totally because of the aemtion anticipation of President Trump. People saw his policies as a massive tax cut going to have an impact on the economy. Earlier in the year when the president first took office, there was a lot of anticipation that he would get tax reform and healthcare done. A couple months into it the expectations plummeted and its when the markets stop rallying and actually what happened was profits started coming in better than expected. You have a strong back drop because corporations are making strong profit reports and you are talking about profits up 6 in the Second Quarter on top of a 15 gain in profits in the first quarter. Revenue. Sometimes earnings you can manipulate to cut costs and you keep cutting things until earnings get better and better but you cant manipulate revenue. Revenue is what the company is generating. Revenue is expected to be up 6 in the Second Quarter. There youre seeing better than expected numbers. Initially yes, it was all about the trump rally. Today its anticipation that the president will get his policies through like tax reform but also a back drop that has gotten better. Businesses are doing much better. Shannon lets talk about the worry folks have. Traditionally august to october the markets arent usually on fire. If there are corrections that would be the time period. Its slower. What should we look forward trying to hammer out tax reform and the white house saying were not done with healthcare but the hill saying were moving to taxes. We need to see some evidence that tax reform will take hold. No doubt when you lower taxes and see a tax reform package it will have an impact on the economy. I spoke with kevin brady and paul ryan and he said to me there is no way well get to 3 Economic Growth without tax reform. Even though profits are driving this market now, it started with the anticipation of what President Trump can bring to the table, then profits took over. If we dont see tax reform i think well see a massive selloff in that market. There is expectations priced in that well get tax reform. If we dont see tax reform this year it could be a problem for the market, no doubt about it. Shannon less than 10 seconds away from the open. The president is trying to do it. Do you think he could do more to message on the economy. A bright spot for them. He says Mainstream Media isnt recognizing the things weve gotten done. Were starting around 80 points up for the open. Waiting on dow 22,000. Thats what people will be excited about once the market hits 22,000 which looks like it will be imminently here. Look, the truth is the president does get in his own way. Oftentimes he has a very successful day in terms of what theyre doing at the white house. He had all the governors and senators in a couple of weeks ago to talk about healthcare. He could have really built that up and talked about that a lot. Instead he came out and went on social media and started trashing Jeff Sessions. There are areas where the president gets in his own way. He could be talking about this a lot more. Were talking about it on the Fox Business Network every day. I believe this rally partly is attributable to President Trump, no doubt but the president instead of constantly backing that off and talking about what he has done and how he expects things to continue to get better gets in his own way by talking about things that really are not a positive story for him like trashing Jeff Sessions. Shannon 14 points off the new 22,000 record everybody wants to see. Good to see you. Bill amazing thing to watch. Shannon youre excited. Bill 4,000 points in six or seven months you never see that. We took a long time to get to 21,000. This market could back and fill for a little even though were that close to 22,000. Bill lets enjoy the day. In a moment a conservative Watchdog Group calling for an investigation into Debbie Wasserman schultz and her i. T. Staffer arrested for bank fraud. That story moments away right here. And new favorites like dueling crab legs with dungeness and snow crab. Its happening right now right here at crabfest. Red lobster. Now this is seafood. Shannon President Trumps new chief of staff retired general john kelly taking charge inside the west wing. Anthony scaramucci out as White House Communications director. Kelly will have greater control over which staffers have access directly to the president. President trump down playing claims of an administration in turmoil tweeting a great day at the white house. Great to see you this morning, governor huckabee. We know that the general is now in charge. Your daughter has told us from the white house he has the power to round things up. People will report to him. Here is what the Washington Post has to say. Less unclear is whether kelly will be able to curb the president s inclination to subvert pecking orders. His tendency to encourage rivalry among his staff and insistence on managing his own message through social media that have often undermined his aides. Do you see those things changing . If a four star marine general cant get it done, it cant happen. I think its a smart move to put general kelly in place. He is a good person, a strong person, and i really believe that the president recognizes that he needs to bring some order and discipline to the white house and john kelly is just the guy to make that happen. Shannon how about the president s legislative agenda now . Thats a heavy lift with the failure thus far of healthcare. Tax reform, infrastructure, debt ceiling, coming. Folks think there hasnt been the biggest stability and organization on the legislative front. Do you anticipate general kellys arrival will change that . I think the biggest need for change there is that republicans in Congress Need to start acting like republicans. They need to work with this president. You have a bunch of people in congress who are republican but they were never trum pers. If they drain the swamp some of them will be drained with it and i dont see it as much a white house issue as a leadership issue in the house and senate. Getting these guys to recognize that the American People voted for donald trump to be president and in the Republican Party they overwhelmingly nominated him. They need to get in step with their own party more than get in step with donald trump and when i say that get in step with the American People who are sick and tired of washington as usual and want there to be some change or i think some of them will be changed out in the next election. Shannon to that point just moments ago bill spoke with senator flake out of arizona, a republican. He talked about this idea of republicanism, conservatism, trump, principles. Here is what he says about that stew. This crisis of principle that were having now didnt start with President Trump. It started long before but i think some of the policies that the president has put forward, policies of protectionism and isolationism those are foreign to conservatives. Weve always believed in free trade and conservatives have always been more, you know, more steady in demeanor. Shannon is the white house, the president at loggerheads with conservatives . No. I think the problem is youve got globalists like jeff flake who are in total disarray with real conservatives. Conservatives want america to be strong not interested in being global and melting into a great Big International economy. They want americans to have good paychecks. We do believe in free trade but that its fair and not getting sucker punched by china, people in europe and around the world. They want america to be strong and unapologetic. As far as other issues that are truly republican were a prolife party, shannon. You have republicans that wont vote to defund the biggest Abortion Provider in the u. S. , planned parenthood. It is not a problem with the president. Its a problem of some of these republicans who dont know what it means and dont understand why did people elect donald trump . He is enacting prolife policies, pro business policies. You guys have been talking about the stock market. Were approaching 22,000. That sure didnt happen when republicans were running things just in congress and obama was president. Give this president some credit for some extraordinary successes. Shannon and his son, eric, last night talking about its fact its time for the party to get on board with his father because he is representing the voice of the American People. Well talk more about that. Thank you, governor. Bill from overseas isis has been defeated in mosul but there is a growing humanitarian crisis now playing out in iraqs second largest city. Doctors say theyre desperately short of all the basics and lives hang in the balance because of it. Our partner sky news on the ground there witnessing this firsthand. We came out of the house. We wanted to run away but a bullet came out of the blue. I didnt feel a thing but i knew i was falling to the ground. We need help right here in mosul. We need it now. We need it and it is very urgent. We are are helpless from our government, from our politicians. Bill are you getting the help from the government that you need . We get talk. We get the help of talk. We have a relationship with the Coalition Forces we report this to them and they come and dispose of it as we do not have the capable to dispose of weapons. How long will it take . A couple of weeks maybe. Bill mosul was liberated early in the summer after a long and bloody fight. Aide workers need surgeons, wheelchairs and things to help heal the scores of civilians. The human toll those people have gone through over the past year plus. Shannon liberating mosul was just the beginning of the healing there. It will take a long time and we shouldnt forget. Were learning more on how inmates use something from the kitchen to bust out of jail. More on that plus the latest on the manhunt for the final fugitive of those 12 still on the run. Bill can President Trump take a page from the great communicators big. The author makes his case next about ronald reagan. I ask you now to put aside any feelings of frustration or helplessness about our Political Institutions and join me in that dramatic but responsible plan to reduce the enormous burden of federal taxation on you and your families. Many of you have asked what can you do to help make america strong again. I urge you again to contact your senators and congressmen. Tell them of your support for this bipartisan proposal. Tell them you believe this is an unequaled opportunity to help return america to prosperity and make government again the servant of the people. Bill that was 1981. Ronald reagan using the power of the oval office to sell his agenda on tax reform. My next guest makes the case President Trump should take a lesson from the great communicator. Bill mcgurn. A fox news contributor. Good to see you. The title is trumps unused bully pulpit. Make your case. Donald trump has been an effective communicator for all the mistakes on twitter, he has connected with people that republicans have had a hard time reaching. It was astonishing he didnt use the greatest stage of all for a president the oval office. Go to the rallies attended by your supporters. When you do a prime Time Oval Office address before a vote, you really get a lot of attention. Even people that hate you have to tune in. Its the only chance for a party especially a Republican Party when you have the press against you to push back on the democratic narrative. In this case that they were hurting the poor and so forth. Bill let me just from your piece with regard to the republican effort of healthcare, this does not mean the dead bills notwithstanding the many compromises, their merits went mostly unsold to the public. Even more astounding is the narrative took hold the president of the United States neglected the greatest bully pulpit of all, the oval office. Perhaps he knew that healthcare wasnt there yet. Thats what reagan knew in 1981. He didnt have the votes for the tax cuts. He gave that speech two days before the house voted. Thats what a president does that can make the marginal difference in swaying some people. Look, it wasnt just ronald reagan. You look at how the times reported that speech. They said reagan delivered a number of partisan shots. When i worked in the white house in september of 2007 president bushs popularity was very low, new Democratic Congress that wanted us out of iraq. He gave an Oval Office Address on war funding because he fought it and fought back on the democratic narrative. Are they voting against the troops. Bill they heard from their congressman. I think the democrats and their allies in the media will run the same game on the tax cuts. It is robbing the poor to pay for the rich. And the oval office, you cant use it too often but it is a place for the president to make his case to the people and put pressure on congress. Bill in summation the oval might be necessary this fall on tax reform. I think so. I think its necessary in any big question before the American People. You know, before congress. Thats why you address people directly from that stage. It is very powerful even in an age of instagram and twitter. Bill no doubt. The wall street journal today, bill mcgurn. Nice to have you. Whats next . Shannon the Trump Administration reaching a deal with several texas counties to crack down on illegal immigration. Details on that just ahead. Bill republican lawmakers trying to refocus their agenda. More from Obamacare Repeal and tax reform. That story and what you need to know next. What happened last week, the white house and senate come together unifying on principles on tax reform creating that urgency. We need to deliver this year. We never forget. That your business is our business the United States postal service. Priority you trust 1 doctor recommended dulcolax. Use dulcolax tablets for gentle dependable relief. Suppositories for relief in minutes. And dulcoease for comfortable relief of hard stools. Dulcolax. Designed for dependable relief. Bill chicago cubs righting a wrong. Steve bartman will get a ring. He reached for a foul ball. 14 years ago when the hapless cubs were only a few outs from going to the world series. Bartman went into hiding for years, the subject of ridicule and blame for the cubs eventually losing that game. Major League Baseball posted this picture yesterday of a world series ring with bartmans name on it. Cool. Cubs saying we hope it provides closure on an unfortunate chapter of the story to win a longawaited world series. They won in 2016. Steve bartman can come out of his house. A big fan along the way. Shannon no word on bill buckners win. 18 counties in texas are signing up to partner with ice. Casey siegel joins us live from dallas to tell us more. Casey, how will this work . Good morning. This is called the 287g program. Partnership between the federal government and local Law Enforcement agencies. Just yesterday 18 sheriffs across the Lone Star State signed their pledge of support for this and have enrolled their departments to participate. That means that select employees at their county jails will be trained by federal immigration authorities and authorized to check the status of every arrestee who comes through. Participating counties will be linked into the vast computer database that ice maintains. If corrections staff get a hit that someone in their jail is in the country illegally, the county then calls the feds and turns them over. I like every county in texas, every county in the United States to sign up so Public Safety threats dont go back into the communities and commit crimes against citizens of this country. About 60 jurisdictions across the country are currently enrolled in this. 19 of them being in texas. More than any other state so far. Shannon i would imagine this is not without controversy, though. Understand not every sheriff is on board with this. Thats correct. As you know there has been a large clash in this state really between lawmakers and those who enforce the laws. That has been specific to the passage of sb4 here, quite controversial cutting off funding to sanctuary cities and lets cops inquire about a suspects immigration status. Critics like the sheriff of Dallas County say its having a Chilling Effect on the states large immigrant population. Certain communities who reported crime before are not reporting it anymore. So what is that saying to us . Crime is being committed and nobody is taking care of it. Not just county Law Enforcement, either. Houstons chief of police, city police also been a very vocal opponent of this. Local cops say it is not their job to enforce immigration law, shannon. They maintain that is the feds role. Shannon when they partner that raises interesting questions on all sides. Casey siegel. Thank you very much. Bill in 25 minutes trading on the dow. Is today the day were headed to 22,000 . This is rarified a air for investors. Up 70 points, 21,959 at the moment. Well see whether or not we top out yet again at a new record. Stand by on that. Shannon watch those twitter feeds. He will let you know when it happens. The pentagon saying new details about north koreas missile launch. Its making progress big time on a banned missile program. Bill will republicans try again on healthcare . Then a critical debate with two of the leadings doctors on this law. Psoriasis does that. It was tough getting out there on stage. I wanted to be clear. I wanted it to last. So i kept on fighting. I found something that worked. And keeps on working. Now . They see me. See me.

Shannon several senators say its time to put healthcare on the back burner and move to other issues after months of efforts to repeal obamacare collapsed last week on the senate floor. Not everyone agrees with that assessment, though. Welcome to a new hour of americas newsroom. Im shannon bream. Bill good morning. Steve bartman has his ring. All is well. Im bill hemmer. Good morning. President trump not backing down from his promise of healthcare reform telling republican senators to call another vote on the issue. Some of them saying theyll need to work with democrats, though, to reach a deal including this senator, jeff flake, arizona. We desperately need reform. I think were at the end of the rope in terms of trying to do it alone. We werent able to fix it. So i think we ought to stick with it certainly, but i think we ought to do it in a way we can actually see the end and the end is going to be sitting down with our colleagues from the other side of the aisle. Bill that from last hour here on our program. Mike emanuel live on the hill. Good morning to you. What are you hearing from senators about the president s push for healthcare reform now . Republican senators are expressing frustration because they dont see a path to 50 yes vote. Orrin hatch telling reuters there is just too much animosity and were too divided on healthcare. Yet South Carolina senator Lindsey Graham is selling a plan he thinks would do a lot of good. Were going to do away with well take the other taxes and were going to block grant it back to about 500 billion, governors are excited. They met in the white house and here is what the governors told me. If you give me this money and flexibility ill take care of the people in South Carolina better than washington would take care of them. He met with President Trump last friday Morning Hours after the senate came up short. Well see if his proposal gains momentum. Bill what about expectations about the next steps on healthcare . As lawmakers move forward to other pressing issues like the budget, debt ceiling and tax reform it sounds like the committee that handles Health Issues in the senate will sit down and work on Smaller Solutions to address problems. I wouldnt be surprised this week if the Health Committee doesnt come out with an agenda of things they want to get into serious issues that need to be resolved, similar bipartisan things are happening in the house of representatives and where we should have started months ago. For example. Congress will likely need steps to shore up the individual Insurance Markets. Bill thanks from the hill there. Shannon more on this lets bring in guy benson. Political editor end of discussion today, a great book. You dont want to miss that. There is a lot going on in washington in the meantime. A number of senators saying were done with this. Its over. Close the chapter. You had mick mulvaney, the leader of the budget department, former member on the hill and house side saying no, the white house still wants to stay on healthcare senator john cornyn says he needs is doing their thing and they want to move on. Mulvaney saying there should be no significant votes on other legislation, anything, until healthcare gets passed. I think that the white house is probably channeling a lot of conservative and Republican Voters still sitting around saying its been seven years, you guys, you couldnt get the vote done last week. Can you maybe get to 50 votes somehow. It sounds like there are certain members of the Senate Working towards that, Lindsey Graham, bill cassidy, rand paul was at the white house but based on what we just heard in some of those sound bites and what youre reporting leadership and key members of committees sounding awfully like they are eager to move on. Shannon we had governor huckabee on last hour and he talked about the fact that the problems are on the hill. They need to get it together as republicans as a party. Here is what he said. Republicans in Congress Need to start acting like republicans. They need to work with this president. You have a bunch of people in congress who are republican but never trumpers. They dont want this president to succeed. If they drain the swamp some of them will be drained with it. Shannon they need each other to get big things like healthcare done. When we talk about the healthcare votes there are 52 republican senators. 49 of them were willing to vote to move the process forward. It was just those three. Mccain, mer kowski and collins voted along with the democrats to obstruct progress. Not like there is a widespread opposition to the president s asgend among republicans on the hill. Lest voters and viewers forget the house of representatives passed a healthcare bill and they were working hard on this. Lets say for the sake of argument that they are going to turn the page to tax reform. This is another really thorny, difficult, broad legislative effort with many moving parts and complexities. In theory you would think the Republican Party, if nothing else, could get on the same page to reform a broken tax code. You would also think after seven years of saying they were going to repeal a healthcare law they would have a plan they could unify. I get the frustration with the gop right now. They deserve it. Shannon senator rand paul keeps having conversations about how they could move forward on healthcare. He says after a conversation with the president he should consider or that he may be considering using executive action. I went back and checked. Under the Obama Administration 43 changes were made to the Affordable Care act by the administrative branch. They delayed the employer mandate for a year through a treasury blog post. There are things that he could do in this add min ministration. The president tweeted about two of them on saturday. He talked about ending bailouts to congress and to Insurance Companies. These were decisions made at the executive level by the Obama Administration a couple of years ago that gave a special carveout to members of congress and their staffs. It is illegal. A federal judge ruled that as well. Same with Insurance Company bailout with stability funds. I think the market gets less stable and there are policy problems but in terms of propping up a law with taxpayer money that hasnt been appropriated by congress, if barack obama was going to govern with a pen and phone donald trump can do the same thing. Those are two options he is seriously considering. I think the congressional one is a nobrainer. Why should congress get a special deal to get around the law that they imposed on americans . Thats outrageous and also illegal. To me its a slam dunk for trump. Shannon there are plenty of folks across the spectrum who agree they have Major Concerns with that. Well see if it changes. Congratulations on paper back and good to see you today. Bill breaking news out of north carolina. The latest missile test icbm pentagon saying the latest test over the weekend traveled the highest and longest to date. Meanwhile Vice President mike pence speaking to fox news overseas this morning about chinas efforts to try to ease tensions. That policy has failed and earlier this year President Trump made it very clear that the era of strategic patience is over. Were calling on our allies in the region to strengthen both economic and diplomatic pressure on north korea. Calling on china to do more. Bill that from earlier. Now from the pentagon Lucas Tomlinson joins me live. What is believed to be in range of the north korean missiles . Good morning. Officials say most of the United States is now in range from some of north koreas missiles after analyzing data from fridays recordsetting Intercontinental Ballistic Missile test which the pentagon says traveled higher and farther than any before. The height of north koreas second test was the most concerning. The missile flew 2300 miles in space, 600 miles higher than the july 4th test and six minutes longer and their ability to mount a warhead with the ability to reenter the earths atmosphere. The u. S. Military tested its thaad system. It shot down a medium range ballistic missile. The government in seoul says it wants four more launchers to protect themselves. Officials here at the pentagon are seeing signs of increased north Korean Submarine activity and believe that north koreas next missile test could come from beneath the sea. Bill does the u. S. Military plan to conduct more missile tests at this moment . It does, bill. The u. S. Air force is planning to conduct a long range missile test of its own sometime early tomorrow morning. The fourth test that the air forces minuteman three missile. Lots of focus on Missile Defense, the u. S. Has a sizeable missile offense with 400 of these missiles located in silos across air force bases in montana, wyoming and north korea and submarines can deliver Nuclear Tests as well. It will than launched from california and travel 4,000 miles into the pacific. Bill see how it goes. There is a lot of activity surrounding that geopolitical mail tear story military story at the moment. Shannon in the meantime eric trump says its past time for republicans to fight for his fathers agenda. I want somebody to start fighting for him. He is the best fighter in the world. He will do a better job fighting for himself than all of them will fighting for him. Shannon is there a disconnect between President Trump and Party Leadership or not . Bill a Watchdog Group looking for answers calling for Debbie Wasserman schultz to testify before congress. Shannon the president S White House team talking about tax reform as republicans try to refocus their legislative agenda. Our next guest tells us if the gop is right when it says tax reform will fare better than healthcare . What happened last week, the white house and senate come together unifying on principles on tax reform creating urgency. We need to deliver this year and having the president solidly behind this approach much different than the healthcare. Wondering, what if . I let go of all those feelings. Because i am cured with harvoni. Harvoni is a revolutionary treatment for the most common type of chronic hepatitis c. Its been prescribed to more than a quarter million people.

Army soldiers get away with minor injuries when their blackhawk helicopter makes a hard landing in eastern afghanistan. It happened in an area overrun with militants from isis. Thats the same group that claimed responsibility for the attack on the Iraqi Embassy in kabul on monday. The cause of that crash is still under investigation. Shannon a Watchdog Group calling for an ethics probe into Debbie Wasserman schultz. She is coming under fire for continuing to employ a former i. T. Staffer after becoming the focus of a criminal investigation. He was fired last week after being charged with bank fraud. Arrested trying to leave the u. S. Marie harf and molly hemingway. The ethics complaint digs into why this guy barred from accessing the house i. T. System for months was still on the payroll. The congresswomans office said they had him help with printers and websites and kept paying him. Does it pass the sniff test . It sounds bizarre to me. Im willing to criticize democrats even though its my party. We should get some answers here. What is interesting to me is these conservative Watchdog Groups are focused on relitigating investigating Hillary Clinton and deber Wasserman Schultz and theyre focused on relitigating the players here and focused on other things. Lets get to the bottom of this and get answers. Shannon this is a very 2017 situation here that we have, molly. Lets tell folks about what we know about this i. T. Staffer. He faces one count of bank fraud where he got a loan on a rental property and wired the money to pakistan is the allegations. Worked for a couple of dozen House Democrats. Double charged the house for i. T. Equipment and may have exposed house information online. There were a number of his family members also doing some of this work and they all were charged with very similar allegations. Right. Arrested on Bank Fraud Charges fleeing the country. But mishandling of equipment and information. He had access to Sensitive Information working for people who are on the Foreign Affairs committee, intel committees. It is Debbie Wasserman schultzs behavior thats intriguing. Other people let him go. She kept him on and there was a hearing where she threatened consequences to Capitol Police if they kept investigating the story. People should be worried about blackmail or something. This is weird behavior and such Sensitive Information that and we just need to know more. Hopefully she can be a little more forthright what she was doing and Ethics Committee and investigation is a perfect way to find out more about her bizarre behavior. Shannon you seem to agree there are more things we need to know and you have questions. Also want to talk about eric trump. He says i dont think republicans are getting an board with my father. It seems to a lot of people there are growing splits between gop leadership on the hill and what the white house thinks should be done and here is eric trump last night. I want somebody to start fighting for him. Republicans are raising seven times on a monthly basis what the dnc. Why wouldnt they embrace that and carry out my father has the voice of this country. The people of this country love him. Why wouldnt they get in line . Shannon why wouldnt they and have they not . People talk about how norms keep being broken. One of the norms thats most interesting that has been broken is the refusal to accept the reality that donald trump is president. You see a lot of that on the left but you also see it on the right. I think it is frustrating for a lot of people who voted for donald trump to see republicans on the hill not taking the ball and running with it. They dont have to embrace trumps agenda but they have control of the houses and accomplishing much. A president willing to sign anything that comes through this house and senate. Why is more not being done and why is there so much resistance in the Republican Party . Shannon final word, marie. I suppose you like the levers arent working smoothly together to get things done on the trump agenda. Support is earned. Last week we saw the president go after republicans in his own party. He has threatened dean hiller a sitting senator. Last week he went after Jeff Sessions loved by other republicans on capitol hill. If he wants support from other republicans he needs to start supporting them. He needs to start being a team player and he needs to stop this incredibly destructive behavior were they are attacking their own and preventing them getting anything on their agenda through and average republicans are frustrated. He has his base but it is not all republicans. Thats 20 to 30 of the country. He needs to do more to bring his own party together. Shannon it takes all those votes to get things done on the hill. Thank you both very much. Bill 20 minutes past the hour now. A manhunt is underway for an inmate who escaped out of an alabama jail. What were learning how a dozen escaped from prison. Shannon the attorney general Jeff Sessions following up on a big promise. News is coming cracking down on leaks coming from inside the white house. The administration. What were hearing about a big announcement this week. Were stepping up those cases. It cant continue. Some people need to go to jail. If we can make cases they are going to jail. Bill one man still on the loose after a jail break in alabama. A dozen inmates were in on the plan. The sheriff said they used Peanut Butter to trick a new prison guard into opening a door. It was a human error that caused this to happen. And some of the inmates being pretty smart on what their plan was changing some numbers on the door with Peanut Butter. That may sound crazy, but these people are crazy like a fox. Shannon sound bite of the day. Police captured 11 of the 12 prisoners. A manhunt continues for the last fugitive. 24yearold brady andrew kilpatrick. A 500 reward for information leading to his arrest. I think we feel that not only its something that we would like to do, something we have to do this year. That i think is an aggressive schedule but it is our timetable and hope have completion by midnovember. Bill talking about speaking about tax reform. He argues the white house hopes to have a tax plan written this month so markups can begin and you can have this debate play out in september and october. Tim phillips is the president of americans with pros prosperity. Do you like what youre hearing so far . Its a good Tax Blueprint and starts to unrig the economy. It lowers rates across the board. Thats a good thing on the individual and corporate side. It also hopefully makes the tax code more simple especially for Small Businesses and individuals on the margins. Last thing it would double the standard deduction from 12,000 to 24,000. The first 24 thousand of income they arent paying tax on. Simplification and lower rates. Bill what do you think the healthcare defeat did for this . It raises the stakes. It is an epic failure on healthcare. They can get this economy doing but it raises the stakes for them. Bill i was talking with kevin brady and he said the following getting the message out to americans and selling this idea. In tax reform i dont care who you are, this code is too complex. It is too costly. There is too many special breaks. We know our businesses arent competing. We start from a different standpoint. Secondly, just what you mentioned, the white house, the house, senate are unified on this approach and the key principles. Bill you are talking that theyve been chasened by what happened on healthcare. If thats the case this message will be how much different . They have to take a strong message to the American People selling the benefits. What success looks like. In 1986, the last time it was done you and i were young guys then. It dramatically expanded prosperity for every american across every income bracket. Across the board. Job creation that resulted. Same thing in 2001 and 2003. That was a tax cut but tax reform. It expanded revenues to the government because tax cuts generate actual activity. They stimulate economics. One other thing. They have to talk about how this unrigs the economy and makes it fair for folks. The wealthy and wellconnected they do with their lobbyist. Go for flatter rates across the board. Steve mnuchin about the topics of the rich. Were talking about lowering the top rate but offsetting it with elimination of huge deductions. For most people in the top rate they wont get a tax cut. Bill address that. Steve bannon is talking about something in the 40 area. You believe the wealthy create jobs. Thats what youve been preaching. How do you square that with their idea rates wont be raised. Deductions need to be done away with. For example. The blueprint the trump folks are supporting calls for ending the deduction for state and local taxes paid. That benefits 9 out of 10 to wealthy folks. Folks at the top. So thats the kind of deductions that he is talking about. It will make the code more fair. Lets have rates that actually are the rates instead of having a bunch of deductions that rig things and normally it favors folks at the top. Thats the kind of deductions the secretary is talking about and actually the one i mentioned is in the blueprint that they are talking about right now. Bill off we go into the fall. Do you believe it will get done . I do this year. Bill thanks for being here, tim phillips. Almost 10 30. Shannon from tax reform to healthcare, republicans latest attempts to repeal obamacare falling flat on the senate floor last week. More democrats signaling they may be willing to work with the gop on some changes. An expert panel to discuss that. Bill a big message to President Trump. Declare a National Emergency on the opioid crisis. Drug abuse has become a crippling problem throughout the United States. We want to help those who have become so badly addicted. This is crabfest at red lobster. With choices like the classic crab lovers dream and new favorites like dueling crab legs with dungeness and snow crab. Its happening right now right here at crabfest. Red lobster. Now this is seafood. Bill getting word from the department of general. Jeff sessions following through on a big request from the white house. He will hold a News Conference about the number of leak cases pursued so far this year. In about two hours from now sessions will speak live to a group of Law Enforcement officials in atlanta with regard to the leak matter. We expect that on friday of this week. Were watching those for you and update you. The American People to learn through public reporting that the icbm fired by north korea in recent days could reach the entire continental United States. I expect it was very troubling to every american and President Trump has no higher priority than the safety and security of the people of the United States. Shannon Vice President mike pence making those remarks after learning north koreas missile test on friday was the longest in the history of the rogue regime. What to do now to protect the u. S. Jack keane is the chairman of the study of war and fox news military analyst. Good to see you. Okay. So where do we go from here . Because the tensions with north korea continue to ratchet up and continue to have success. They learn things that are new and giving them new information with each test. Kim jung uns calculation is this. He has rejected his grandfathers these is and that of his father where they had Nuclear Weapons pointed at south korea, a sufficient deterrent to prevent the United States from ever conducting regime change. What kim jung uncalculates is he has to hold the American People at risk to prevent any regime change in north korea and why this accelerated icbm program threatening the American People. To prevent that regime change from taking place and he also calculates that the United States will not i say again will not go to war over this issue. That the United States will acquiesce to his having a Nuclear Icbms much as we acquiesced to him having Nuclear Weapons and to china after them a number of years ago. Thats the calculation. Trump team is all in here and wants to deny kim jung unfrom having Nuclear Icbms and using International Sanctions against north korea and i think they will begin this week if the president makes the decisions with some fairly tough sanctions against china itself. Something we have done in a partial way but not in a comprehensive way. Shannon i want to play a little bit of what we heard from chinas ambassador to the unthan and get your reaction to that. We see, of course, further testing that we oppose and we also see language and action from elsewhere that heightens tension. That is not the way to counter the purported testing. Shannon he made reference to the antiMissile Defense system. The thaad system but he said it wasnt helpful for people to be talking about all options being on the table. That seems pretty pointed to the u. S. Yeah. The hypocrisy of that statement is overwhelming. Were testing our Missile Defense system. Emphasis on defense. They are testing an offensive icbm that will be delivered to another country with a nuclear tipped missile. Thats stunning to say that were wrong in conducting defensive tests to protect ours efs from that. And i do agree President Trump did put the military option back on the table that president obama took off the table. I think it is the proper thing to do even though horrifically the result would be if we use that option, but realistically we have certainly got to have it on the table. Shannon lets talk about another hot spot, russia. The Vice President visiting through Eastern Europe and a bit of what he had to say in recent hours about russia and where we go next. As the president will soon sign new russian sanctions hell do some we make clear that america is serious about standing with freedomloving countries at the same time he is determined to lead the door open if russia is prepared to change its behavior, the nature of our relationship with them can change as well. Shannon the sanctions are coming. The door is open for us to kiss and make up at some point if their behavior changes. What do you think about his message on this particular trip . First of all pence has gone to a border country from russia and he has stated that the United States rejects russia redrawing international borders, rejects russias coercion and Intimidation Campaign of our allies and rejects russia trying to divide the trans atlantic alliance. The strongest statement any u. S. National leader has made since the Trump Administration has been in power and whats happening here, so our viewers can understand this. The post cold war era where the United States was a super power by itself is over. Were returning to Great Power Competition again, russia wants to redesign the International Order which has existed for seven decades because they dont believe its in their national interest. And that is what theyre pushing up against and they are clashing with us. They had their way with the Obama Administration. They wont have their way with the Trump Administration. Shannon i know you think in that region this administration is sending a different message in contrast to years past. General keane, always good to see you. Bill 23 minutes before the hour. President trumps Opioid Commission shedding new light on the drug epidemic in america and urging the president to declare a National Emergency. Preliminary report reads in part. 142 americans dying every day. America is enduring a death toll like september 11 every three weeks. The president vowed to follow up when he said this. The drugs that have stolen too many lives and robbed our country of so much unrealized potential. This american carnage stops right here and stops right now. Bill then the Commission Led by new Jersey Governor Chris Christie was formed last march and well let you know on progress on that. Shannon President Trump has been touting his economic agenda and could be a big day on wall street. Watch closely. The dow hovering around 22,000. Bill rare air. Were watching that and watching what comes next on healthcare. Two experts will debate the possible solutions forward. Dont miss this. Its next. Hey, is this our turn . Honey. Our turn . Yeah, we go left right here. woman vo Great Adventures are still out there. Well find them in our Subaru Outback. avo love. Its what makes a subaru, a subaru. Get 0 apr financing for 63 months on all new 2017 Subaru Outback models. Now through august 31. Bill some republican senators saying it is time to switch gears after the failed healthcare vote. Three republican senators voting against last weeks skinny repeal effort ending the latest effort to scrap obamacare as House Democrats are expected to unveil improvements to the Affordable Care act. Weve lined up a debate today to figure out the best step forward. On the left doctor ezekiel emanuel. A fox news contributor. On the right dr. Marc siegel. Professor of medicine here in manhattan. Good day to both of you. I want to find solutions, ezequiel, start first. What are the solutions possible if there are any . I think we have to take a short term view and a long term view. The shortterm view is lets get the exchanges working better. That really requires two or three major changes, one is to guarantee the costsharing subsidies, another is to get the reinsurance policy for health insurers, a third is to enforce the mandate. Those three things will do a lot to stabilize the exchanges. And actually bring premiums down because they give the Insurance Companies more stability. The longerterm view is about affordability. That requires us to change how we pay doctors and hospitals so that they actually want to get rid of unnecessary care. They will make care more efficient and bring down the prices of devices and other surgical procedures and that is if we really want to talk about helping the American Public its the affordability issue that most americans, a short and longterm thing. Bill does that sound reasonable, marc and workable . Stabilizing the Insurance Market sounds reasonable. Notice thats occurring. Were in a bailout situation. Why are we in a bailout situation . Doctor emmanuel and i have talked about it before. Almost 7 million americans chose to take the tax penalty. You know why . Because they were too healthy and most of them are under the age of 35. You know why, bill . They know they can wait until theyre sick and sign up then so they do a little math and say ill wait until im sick. Aetna says 55 of my new clients are sick. Ill drop out of the exchange. The more that happens, the more premiums fly up and we saw in 19 states last year 20 increase premiums. You can fix that, i agree, by throwing more money at it by reinsurance and enforcing the mandate. Here is another way to fix it. Thats the point. Ist isnt always money. Why dont we say to young people well offer you a catastrophic option to get you in the game. Why dont we say to young people well charge you less money if you get in the game. Why dont we say to young people we arent a country of penalties here. Lets fix the Doctors Office, by the way. Where doctors say nobody is paying me more, bill, for all this computer time i have mandated. I dont have malpractice reform. Where did we get the idea in the United States that insurance means healthcare . Insurance can turn down the very healthcare it is promising you. It can say sign up here. When you get to the Doctors Office we wont cover that procedure or if you have a large deductible you may have a thyroid problem or pneumonia. I didnt use my deductible. I cant afford the chest xray out of my pocket. Bill we wanted to do that because of a comment with nancy pelosi. Enlarging the pool, making it healthier, younger and having more benefits. I understand the reason and history but it doesnt sound like youre willing to give anything. What do they have to offer . You have to have a big pool. Bill there are Democratic Congressmen talking about resisting is not enough. You have to arrive at solutions. Wait a second. It is not talking now. Ive been talking to the Democratic Congressional and senate side and theyve been very interested in bipartisan agreement. Mitch mcconnell didnt reach out. He had 13 people behind closed doors. The president hasnt called anyone. Nancy pelosi or chuck schumer. Theyve been interested. I do think one area we might have overlap is what ive been calling auto enrollment where people get auto enrolled into a particular program that the subsidy covers it. It sounds like there is some republican interest. Senator cassidy and more conservative thinktank policy experts are interested. Thats an area where we could have overlap and go to what marc is suggesting. Some way of getting more young people, more Healthy People into the insurance game and beginning to have that experience and understanding that its actually to their benefit to participate. I think he is right in the sense we either get more young people in by offering them more scaleddown catastrophic options at a younger age that they could pay less for because they sign up earlier. Another way to reach across the aisle is on medicaid. Dr. Emmanuel and i agree on that. Medicaid expansion is popular. I would work on trying to keep it to work across the aisle but scale it back. Recognize 9. 5 of the federal budget is too much toward medicaid. Work on scaling it back. People dont want to lose an entitlement once they have it and coverage once they have it. Bill weve seen that. I want to squeeze in these two comments from siegel and ill give you a chance. You write in the usa today obamacare added more cars to the train but there are fewer engineers to drive it. Another line from your piece. I have a Cadillac Health Insurance Plan in a land of jalopies. How is that fair . I dont agree about the doctor shortage. We publish an article and looked at the number of primary doctors we need in the United States given quite generous amounts of time with patients. We have more than enough. It is not a numbers problem, its a problem of management. We have a mismanagement of doctors time. One of the things i point out in my new book is actually changing how you schedule patients can increase the amount of time doctors spend with sick patients and make the Physicians Office more efficient and decrease emergency room use. Its those kind of Management Changes we need to use. The way to get there is to incentivize doctors differently. We have to pay them in a different way. Not just for each thing they do, but more like take care of the patient, here is the annual amount you are going to get. Bill im almost out of time. There is a doctor shortage. The association of american medical colleges say theyre 100,000 doctors short over the next 10 years. I have agree with management of time. Weve computerized everything and doctors are overwhelmed. I spend 20 minutes seeing a patient seeing 20 minutes writing about it. We need more efficiency models and more nurses. I would pay for quality care but doctors time is worth something. I wouldnt take that away. Lets pay doctors for their time. I think this is a model actually, marc and i can agree on a lot of things. Not everything but it gives you a bipartisan model that we can go forward with nationally. Bill we dont live a land of jalopies. We respect each other and thats where it starts. Shannon summer of 2028 could be one to remember for the west coast. Los angeles getting ready to host the worlds greatest athletic games. The summer olympics. How they snagged the big game. 1,200 workers are starting their day building on over a hundred years of heritage, craftsmanship and innovation. Today were bringing you americas number one shave at lower prices every day. Putting money back in the pockets of millions of americans.

A bipartisan effort on healthcare and the next move on rewriting the tax code. Six minutes away on happening now. Shannon in 2028 los angeles strikes a deal to host the summer olympics. The first time the u. S. Welcomes the world since the 2002 winter games in salt lake city. Were live in the newsroom, adam. How do we get to 2028 . There is stuff happening between now and then. Other games. Yeah. In fact it was interesting. Between l. A. And paris. Behind the scenes for a couple of months paris was going to get the 2024 games because of 100 year anniversary. L. A. Seemed to be happy either way. They bid for 2024 but they got 2028. The longest preparation times the games have been given. 11 years to prepare and most of the stuff is in place. Everybody happy locally. The president put out a statement as well. Local leaders and athletes had this to say about the big announcement. Unlike the old model where people tried to fit the olympics to the city, this is a model were fitting the city to the olympics. For an athlete l. A. Has everything you need at your best. Incredible weather. Great facilities and worlds best fans, of course. Incredible weather. It is raining in l. A. In august. Interesting. The morning after the big announcement before i give it back to you the thing about l. A. That makes it different than most other cities everything will be in place. They dont have to build new stadiums. They have to increase security and the ability to move people around. That has to happen anyway. Thats the new soccer stadium being built next year. Los angeles doesnt expect to spend more money. The ioc will give them money for local Sports Program and they can make it a positive thing for l. A. And the rest of the world. 11 years. Hopefully its not raining. Shannon it wont be. The odds are. Traffic is another story. All right. Adam housley. Traffic is terrible every day. Bill shakeup at the white house. New chief of staff makes big changes. Whats next . The first full day on the job for secretary kelly. Thats next. Shannon distracted pedestrians have no place in honolulu. They approved a law that makes it illegal to cross a street when youre looking down at your smartphone. Fines range from 15 99. Im a big fan of this. I like for people to Pay Attention when theyre walking. There are a lot of people Walking Around new york. Wake up, people we can make a lot of a lot of money. Bill watch where you step, folks. Have a great day, byebye. Jon another shakeup at the white house as the new chief of staff, general john kelly takes command and makes, what you might call a big change on day one sending Anthony Scaramucci packing. Been wanting to come on jon scott. Molly the incoming White House Communications director didnt even start his job before he got the boot. Heres what Sarah Huckabee sanders had to say yesterday. He does not have a role at this time. The president certainly felt that anthonys comments were inappropriate for a person in that position, and he didnt want to burden general
