Investigation. Its a crazy news day. Lets get to it. First from the fox news deck this friday afternoon, with his agenda stalled and his white house in chaos and open rebellion, President Trump traveled to long island, new york to hold what turned out to be a political rally surrounded by police, immigration agents and other Law Enforcement officers. A speech entitled to be about the ms13 gang, the president wandered off script. He brought up his greatest hits from the campaign trail. Make America Great again, building the wall and bragged about how big he won. Always take pictures with the police. My guys say dont do it, dont do it. [applause] other candidates didnt do it that i was beating by 40 points. Can you believe it . I did it. Maybe thats why i was winning by 40 points. Shepard when he did talk about police work, the president warned cops not to go United States on suspects he called thugs. When you see these towns and these thugs being thrown into the back of a paddy wagon, thrown in rough, i said please dont be too nice. Like when you guys put somebody in the car and youre protecting their head, you know, the way you put your hand like dont hit their head and they just killed somebody. I said you can take the hand away, okay . Shepard the president talked about growing up on long island. Try telling about any new yorker that queens is long island. Then he briefly mentioned the failed healthcare bill in the senate and railed on lawmakers for vowing to kill obamacare and not doing it. They should have approved healthcare last night, but you cant have everything. Boy, oh, boy. Theyve been working on that one for seven years. Can you believe that . The swamp, but well get it done. Well get it done. The president spoke in an area where police say that ms13 gang murdered 17 people since the start of last year. Police say many of the gang members are teenagers and their killings are brutal with attackers hacking victims with machetes. Critics say President Trump has almost no understanding of that gang on its history and this could make the problem worse. Bryan llenas live on long island town of brentwood this afternoon. Brian . Hi, shep. Inside this auditorium at the Suffolk County community college, about 500 Law Enforcement officers from different agencies on long island. The speech was touted as Something Else, mainly about ms13 and their plan to fight ms13. Also really a lot about other things as you mentioned in your intro. A lot of that was pitting his administration as those who are supportive of the police in this country and have their backs as opposed to past administrations. Take a listen to this. I dont think you know how much the public respects and admires you. You are saving american lives every day. And we have your back, believe me. We have your backs 100 . Not like the old days. Theres the president saying ive got your back, not like past administrations. While he was talking about the fight against ms13. He also then shifted into a little bit personal dig at mayor big de blasio of new york city, one of the main sanctuary cities. These are cities that protect our shield many undocumented immigrants, many who are not criminals. He went after the mayor to really an applause of a lot of Law Enforcement officers here today. Listen. Theyre there right now because of weak political leadership, weak leadership, weak policing and in many cases because the police werent allowed to do their job. Ive met police that are great police that arent allowed to do their job because they have a pathetic mayor or a mayor that doesnt know whats going on. So you have the president blaming sanctuary cities and really the last few years for somehow this large resurgence of ms13. When we asked the administration for data as to pointing out to what kind of resurgence theyre talking about our growth in ms13, we havent seen the numbers. Theres an estimated 10,000 gang members in this country but they started in the 80s. So he blamed the past administration and mayors who are at the socalled sanctuary cities for the problem for ms13, shep. Shepard how are Law Enforcement officers describing the situation on the ground in long island . We talked to the police commissioner. He says theres about 400 ms13 gang members here in Suffolk County, a county of 1. 6 million. We understand its a serious issue and were going full throttle. Theyve been on the offensive for ten months here ever since the two teenage girls were butchered by allegedly by ms13 gang members. If you listen to President Trump today in his speech, it almost seemed like, well, some of these towns are under martial law. Listen. One by one were liberating our american towns. Like id see in a movie. Theyre liberating the town. Like in the old wild west. Police commissioner says that he welcomes the attention and hopefully the money and more. U. S. Federal prosecutors that they can go through these cases as they arrest over 240 ms13 people in the last ten months. Gang members. Shep . Shepard bryan llenas on long island. 7. 5 Million People on long island these days. The latest show of defiance from kim jongun and north korea and his murderous regime. The joint chief discussing military options with south koreas defense chief. North korea just a few hours ago launched yet another Intercontinental Ballistic Missile. The second this month. Were still waiting for the details on the launch. A spokesperson for japan says the missile flew for about 45 minutes and landed somewhere off the japanese coast. Military Officials Say it was not a threat to north american because it went straight up and straight down. If the missile stayed in the air for so long, it could be a very serious development. One of our goto experts on north korea, gorden chang saying it could suggest a longer range than the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile that north korea launched earlier this month. The range on that one put hawaii and alaska in reach. They want to be able to reach the lower 48. The United Nations has banned north korea from developing or testing ballistic missiles. The pentagon says theyre committed to defending allies including south korea and japan. Paul ryan saying north korea is a global menace. Its pursuit of nuclear Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles poses clear and immediate danger to our national security. The bottom line, analysts say todays launch could be another step toward north koreas ultimate goal, striking the United States mainland with a nuclear weapon. According to the reporting of the Washington Post this week, pentagon officials now say that could happen long before the previous estimate of the year 2020. The North Koreans could have a missile capable of hitting mainland u. S. By next year. Rich edson with the news live at the state department for us this afternoon. What are you hearing from officials there, rich. American officials are saying that the United States is running out of time. The state department is working diplomatic channels on this, but north korea continues advancing their capabilities. That has the army chief of staff highlighting the urgency. Were at a point in time where choices will have to be made one way or the other. None of these choices are particularly palatable. None are good. South koreas new government had proposed talks with north korea, though nothing has come up that, shep. Shepard any word about a possible response . The United States has deployed what is known as the thad antimissile defense system. China objected to it. South korea has suspended its deployment. Reuters is reporting that south koreas president has ordered discussions with the United States on deploying additional antimissile defense units. This is following the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile launch. The u. S. Is also playing what the Trump Administration is calling a pressure campaign. Theres u. S. Sanctions, u. N. Security Council Sanctions and the u. S. Is trying to get them to further better enforce the sanctions to isolate north korea economically and diplomatically. Shepard thanks, rich. Senator john mccain is returning to arizona to start chemotherapy and radiation after he cast deciding vote in the collapse of the gop effort for healthcare on the hill. Well have more on that in a moment. First, President Trump lashed out on twitter after the socalled skinny obamacare remeal bill, which it really wasnt a repeal bill, failed in the senate overnight. He wrote three republicans and 48 democrats let the American People down. As i said from the beginning, let obamacare implode and then deal. Watch. If republicans are going to pass great future legislation in the senate, they Must Immediately go to a 51vote majority, not senseless 60. Even though parts of healthcare could pass at 61. Good things need 60. So many great future bills and budgets need 60 votes. Republicans needed 50 votes to pass that bill last night. The bill that they all said they hoped would never become law since they had the Vice President to break the tie and they couldnt do that either. Republican senators Lisa Murkowski of alaska and Susan Collins of maine voted against the skinny repeal though it was not a repeal. It was john mccain that cast the deciding vote days after doctors removed a blood clot from his brain and diagnosed him with brain cancer. It was about 1 30 a. M. In washington. Senator mccain, turned down his thumb and quietly said no. You can hear a gasp in the chamber. Others applauded. No. You can see the minority leader there, Chuck Schumer waving his arm to silence democrats in the chamber. That skinny repeal bill as they called it would have defunded some parts of obamacare but left leaving much of the law in place. Senator mccain said ive stated time and time again that one of the major failures of obamacare was that it was rammed through congress by democrats on a strict party line basis without a single republican vote. We should not make the mistakes of the past that has led to obamacares collapse. The minority leader Chuck Schumer praised senator mccain for voting against skinny repeal. He says he believes republicans and democrats can Work Together on a solution. I have not seen a senator who speaks truth to power as strongly as well and as frequently as john mccain. The very same courage he showed as an naval aviator in vietnam he showed last night. One congressman is calling for Mitch Mcconnell to step down. Heres who mo brooks of back back said today. With respect to healthcare, Mitch Mcconnell has been a failure in coming up with a plan that musters the 51 votes to proceed through the senate. At this point, if i were Mitch Mcconnell, i would resign. Republicans for seven years have been promising to repeal and replace obamacare. They couldnt get it done. Mike emanuel is live on capitol hill. Mike . We have news about the key player. Senator john mccains Office Putting out a statement about his health. We have some video to show you of mccain speaking with mike pence late night on the senate floor. Were told that mccain is returning to arizona for further treatment at the mayo clinic. His office says he will go through targeted radiation and chemotherapy. He plans to maintain a work schedule while undergoing that treatment and then plans to return to washington after the august recess. My colleague, peter doocy asked mccain about his decision to oppose the skinny repeal. Did you have any answers . Of course. Always have concerns about an important vote like that. Fox has confirmed President Trump met with South Carolina senator Lindsey Graham this morning at 10 00 a. M. To discuss health care. They talked about how best to use healthcare dollars. For House Republicans who passed a healthcare reform plan, a bitter disappointment and its led do some second guessing. Pretty clear to me that this process was not a good one. One of the issues the president never laid out the Core Principles and didnt sell them to the American People. Some republicans saying they cannot afford to make the same mistakes with tax reform. Shep. Shepard much more on healthcare and the road forward. Thats next. Backpack, check. Thats the family taking care of business. Awesome notebook check. But who takes care of them . Office depot office max. This week, these composition books are just 25 cents each. Taking care of business [music playing] across the country, we walk.

And i absolutely want to know more about my native american heritage. Its opened up a whole new world for me. Discover the story only your dna can tell. Order your kit now at ancestrydna. Com. Shepard more on healthcare. Kelsie snell joins us. The congressional reporter for the Washington Post. He was following the action last night and co wrote the story on the washington website. Theres talk of figuring Something Else out. Do we have any idea what that is . No, we dont know what they have coming up next. Republicans spent the majority of the year, seven months, focused on trying to get something through the reconciliation process. That failed last night. While its possible that they could revisit this process, this budget process to try to get something done, we dont really have any signs from the majority leader, Mitch Mcconnell that he wants to do things that way. Theres a question about whether or not its possible to do something smaller, something bipartisan. But its a very difficult road ahead. As i talked to congressmen today on the hill, they werent quite sure. They felt like they needed to go home, regroup and see each other in september and figure out a path forward then. Try this in what they would call on regular order . Im sorry . I cant hear you. Shepard on regular order . Try to get something bipartisan together . Yeah, that is the idea. Regular order would be the only way to do something outside of trying to do it as goponly. We dont really know what they would be. The Senate Minority leader, charles schumer, said he thought maybe the idea would be to do something on the costsharing subsidies. Payments that go to insurers providing insurance on the marketplaces. But theres a pending lawsuit filed in 2014 by House Republicans to say that the payments are illegal. So its not clear that this could happen any time soon. Shepard all right. With the communication problems, well cut this short. Thanks, kelsey. The west wing at war. The president s newest top aide taking dead aim at the chief of staff like nothing ever been seen in white house intrigue in american history. Not like this. Anthony scaramucci held nothing back, we assume. He made new comments about the profane phone call you heard about. The new comments coming next. Your brain is an amazing thing. But as you get older, it naturally begins to change, causing a lack of sharpness, or even trouble with recall. Thankfully, the breakthrough in prevagen helps your brain and actually improves memory. The secret is an ingredient originally discovered. In jellyfish. In clinical trials, prevagen has been shown to improve shortterm memory. Prevagen. The name to remember. A girl with golden locks broke into a house owned by three bears. She ate some porridge, broke the baby bears chair, and stole some jewelry, a flatscreen tv, and a laptop. Luckily the Geico Insurance agency had helped the bears with homeowners insurance. They were able to replace all their items. Including a new chair from crate and barrel. Call geico and see how easy it is to switch and save on homeowners insurance. Shepard the new White House Communications director telling reporters it was not fair that the new yorker magazine published his barrage of fbombs and other choice words, some xrated. One thing hes not saying, im sorry. Instead, hes blaming the reporter that took his phone call. During that conversation, the mooch, as he calls himself, took shots at the white house chief of staff Reince Priebus saying Reince Priebus is a bleeping paranoid schizophrenic. A paranoiac. Scaramucci accused priebus of leaking information and saying he would resign soon. There were insults for steve bannon. One comment xrated be i think standard. Scaramucci also said im not trying to build my own brand off the strength of the bleeping president. Im here to serve the country. No response from priebus or bannon. Scaramucci tweeted that sometimes he uses colorful language. He also wrote that i made a mistake trusting in a reporter. That wont happen again. The reporter say the two spoke, he and scaramucci, before anything was published. Ryan lizza is that reporter. He said anthony made 100 clear that i understand the interview was not off the record. Totally within your rights to publish it. The new yorker reports it has an audio recording of the profanity laced conversation but no plans to make it public. Kevin corke at the white house. Perhaps the new yorker is trying to protect itself in case the white house spin machine tries to portray that conversation in a light other than it took place. Its fair to say that Anthony Scaramucci wont likely fall out of favor with the president. Hes said to enjoy a bit of tension but thats also part of the issue. You have senior staffers that havent done this before. They dont understand the rules of engagement here in washington. Heres someone that does, Sarah Huckabee sanders. Sometimes hes a passionate guy and lets the passion get the better of him. He used colorful language that i dont anticipate he will do again. None of this is new for those of us that have been covering this administration. The back and forth. Scaramucci, in fact, had said in a brief use conversation that priebus blocked him from joining the team for months. In fact, in the conversation with ryan, he mentioned that he took delight in announcing that he reports to the president instead of the chief of staff. So clearly the president wanted to shake things up. Mission accomplished. If he wants to move the issue forward, meaning getting the trump agenda in front of the American People, its clear Even White House officials will tell you on background, Anthony Scaramucci has to be more disciplined moving forward, this is a man that has been on the job a week. In that week, shepard, weve seen press secretary resign. Were talking about sean spicer. Weve seen a staffer resign after being accused of leaking to the press. A twitter purge that scaramucci himself had to clean up his past statements and now the infamous profanitylaced interview. A rocky and inauspicious beginning for the new White House Communications director. Shepard . Shepard thanks, kevin. Lets go to Chris Wallace from Fox News Sunday who is live from our washington newsroom. Chris, theres clearly a management issue there. Is there a plan . Who knows . You said earlier today we havent heard from scaramucci or priebus. We havent heard from the president either, the man in charge of these various factions in his own white house. You wouldnt expect him to go on the record himself but he could through one of his spokesman. He hasnt said anything about it. Its very curious. Maybe he wants to let things lay the way they are. But this is the kind of open warfare. Ive heard, ive been in this town a long time. Im not naive. You hear about factions and power struggles. Nothing this vile and vulgar and certainly not this open. Shepard the public part that is a bit disconcerting. You wonder if theres a winning side. If you are to believe what the New York Times wrote today, that the president was happy with scaramuccis tough talk, does that mean that priebus and bannon are on shaky ground or does scaramucci take a fall for this . Feels like very game of thrones. Feels like something has to give. Yes, but not necessarily. A week ago we could have been talking about Jeff Sessions. You couldnt possibly imagine that Jeff Sessions a week later would still be the attorney general after the public lashing that the president was delivering to him, a week later, Jeff Sessions is still the chief Law Enforcement officer of the country. Throughout this presidency, donald trump has sometimes blown hot and blown cold about various people. Priebus has been up and down, bannon was very up and then had the fatal mistake where he was on the cover of time magazine. You dont want to steal the spotlight from the boss. He was out of favor for a while. Now bannon seems to be in okay shape. So who is to say oftentimes yes, you think youre in a position where you said something has to give in a normal organization, a normal white house, especially that would be true, but not necessarily in this white house. Shepard are they getting anything done . Theyre getting some things done, particularly on deregulations, executive orders. Precious little on regulations. Weve seen two major defeats for the president this week. The biggest one we know about, of course, is healthcare, which you spent the first part of the show talking about to coming down to a stinging defeat in the middle of the night. And the russian sanction bills that he didnt want to see passed, limiting the president s ability to left them. Thats a real setback for any president. That passed overwhelmingly. Now the president has to decide to veto it. If it does, it will probably be overwritten or sign something he doesnt like. Shepard i was going to ask you about that. Scaramucci mentioned one thing when on the phone with cnn yesterday morning with cuomo yesterday. He said that its no ones job to protect the American People from the president. But when you put through legislation sanctions that you take the power away from the president in doing so, theres an appearance that thats what congress is trying to do now. I dont know if youd say theyre trying to protect the country from the president. But as john mccain said in his famous speech when he came back and gave the final vote that allowed them to begin the debate, he said, look, were not under the president. Were coequals under the constitution. They have just as much power of making law and perhaps more and its their right to pass laws and the president can sign them or veto them. In this case, given two votes against it in the senate and three against it in the house, this seems to be one of the few cases where theres bipartisan across the board agreement. Shepard and north korea, they fired another Intercontinental Ballistic Missile. Theres game plans for conflict with north korea. If you have a sense from your reporting yet where the military minds are on this matter. I think its going to take more, even than this, before they would do it. Obviously very concerned. It was new Intelligence Report this week that is supposed to being three or four years away from being able to develop an icbm that could hit the u. S. With a nuclear weapon. Perhaps less than a year from that. Getting to a war with north korea would be cataclysmic in terms of the number of fatalities on both sides of the dmz and the korean peninsula. That is a absolute last resort. This does raise another question. People have said with all of these problems going on with scaramucci, priebus at their throats, at least were not in a crisis. How would the Administration Deal with a real crisis. North korea is a potential real crisis. Is this white house equipped to deal with that . I think thats an open question. Shepard hopefully we dont have do find out. Chris wallace will have more on Fox News Sunday and the latest on the healthcare battle. Fresh new booking now. The House Minority leader nancy pelosi will be chris guest as will john kasich, the former fox news host and contributor himself. Thats this sunday on your local fox station. It airs at different times in different cities on different channels. Check your local listings. Dont miss Chris WallaceFox News Sunday this sunday. Attorney general Jeff Sessions tells fox news he was a little hurt after President Trump ripped him multiple times. But attorney general sessions says he still has a job to do. More from the attorney general and the bipartisan push on capitol hill to protect special counsels, including one leading the russia investigation. Thats ahead. First, investigators say one person is dead after a man pulled a knife at a supermarket and started stabbing. Well have the details coming right away. Shepard the fox report now. Headlines from the fox news deck. A major gas leak shut down streets and forced thousands to evacuate in m. I. T. In cambridge, mass. It reported a contractor hit a natural gas line. Witnesses say it sounded like a jet engine. No word of any injuries. A man reportedly yelled allah akbar in hamburg, germany. Officers say witnesses surrounded the attacker until cops could arrest him. And a powerful storm battered passenger jets in the air. Golf ball size hail forcing a dozen planes over turkey to make emergency landings. Video showed the damage to one jet. The storm knocked down trees and flooded streets in istanbul. Ten people were hurt. The news continues next. Shepard republicans scrambling now to move past the latest healthcare defeat. The next item on the gops todo list is tax reform. The white house and Republican Leaders announced yesterday that theyre moving forward on plans to overhaul the tax code for the first time in 30 years. Analysts said they released very few details on the plan, if there is one, might actually do. Peter doocy is live with more. Any indication that democrats and republicans will Work Together to come up with some sort of tax reform . Not according to the majority party, shep. It sounds like tax reform will be attempted as a republicanonly endeavor. This is going to be i dont know. Its a tough question. I think were starting on a partisan basis. We may not end up there. We need to do tax reform. But one more conservative republican told me today, the only way he sees the gop agenda advancing is with the majority leader Mitch Mcconnell out of the picture. Let somebody else see if they can provide the leadership necessary to address healthcare now, tax reform next, infrastructure next and on down the list. Congressman dave brat said members know they will take it on the chin from constituents because they havent done anything prior to recess. A lot of pressure to get tax reform done and infrastructure done. Shepard what is the line from democrats . They want this all to be a bipartisan exercise. Theyre willing to play ball as long as they have their fingerprints on some of the outlines. If they do the same thing, campaign one way and then propose legislation another way in favor of the wealthy, powerful few, theyll fail on tax reform, theyll fail on infrastructure. Instead, on those issues, work with us in a bipartisan way, and we can do good things on both issues. Democrats want to help fix healthcare now, too, since republicans cant do it on their own. Minority leader Pelosi Says Congress must finally pivot to the bipartisan work up to date and improve the Affordable Care act and continue to lower Americans Health costs. So far the democrats are more eager about working with republicans than the other way around. Shep . Shepard peter doocy on capitol hill. Thank you. The attorney general, Jeff Sessions, is responding to President Trump who went after him in interviews and on twitter last week. The attorney general talked with fox news channels Tucker Carlson. What sessions says about the president s comments and staying on the job coming up. Its ok that everybody ignores me when i drive. Its fine. Because i get a safe driving bonus check every six months im accident free. Because i dont use my cellphone when im driving. Even though my family does, and leaves me all alone. Heres Something Else. I dont share it with mom. I dont. Right, mom . I have a brand new putter you dont even know about its awesome. Safe driving bonus checks, only from allstate. Sometimes i leave the seat up on purpose. Switching to allstate is worth it. I have agerelated maculare degeneration, amd, he told me to look at this grid every day. And we came up with a plan to help reduce my risk of progression, including Preservision Areds 2. My doctor said Preservision Areds 2 has the exact nutrient formula the National Eye Institute recommends to help reduce the risk of progression of moderate to advanced amd after 15 years of clinical studies. Preservision areds 2. Because my eyes are everything. The great beauty of owning a property is that you can create wealth through capital appreciation, and this has been denied to many south africans for generations. This is an opportunity to right that wrong. The idea was to bring capital into the Affordable Housing space in south africa, with a fund that offers families of modest income safe and good accommodation. Citi® got involved very early on, and showed an enormous commitment. And that gave other investors confidence. Citis really unique, because they bring deep understanding of whats happening in africa. I really believe we only live once, and so you need to take an idea that you have and go for it. You have the opportunity to say, ive been part of the creation of over 27,000 units of housing, and to replicate this across the entire african continent. Shepard Jeff Sessions says he will stay on the job as long as the president wants after President Trump publicly criticized him the last week. Thats what sessions told fox news Tucker Carlson in an interview last night. The attorney general called the president s words hurtful. Youve seen the president s criticism of you. You think its fair . Well, its hurtful, but the president of the United States is a strong leader. Hes determined to move this country in the direction he believes it needs to go to make us great again. He has had a lot of criticisms and hes steadfastly determined to get his job done and he wants all of us to do our job. Thats what i intend to do. Hes said again and again that you should have acted differently. You should have not recused yourself from the russian investigation. You agree with that . I understand his feelings about it because this has been a big distraction for him. But tucker, i talked to experts in the department of justice, people trained in that. Im confident i made the right decision. The decision thats consistent for the rule of law. An attorney general that doesnt follow the law is not effective in leading the department of justice. So i think with 15 years in the department, having served in our great department, knowing the integrity that is required of the attorney general, i believe i made the right decision. You said the criticism was hurtful and the president has made it really clear that he doesnt seem to want you to run the department of justice. Will you continue to run it . He can make that clear at any time. I serve at the pleasure of the president. If he wants to make a change, he can certainly do so. I would be glad to yield in that circumstance. No doubt about it. Shepard the president has said that he would not have hired sessions had he known that he would recuse himself from the russian investigation. He also tweeted that sessions was weak on what he called Hillary Clintons crimes and leaks in the administration. Trace gallagher with the news. Some senators say they want to make sure no matter what happens to Jeff Sessions, the president cant fire special Counsel Robert Mueller who is handling the russia investigation. Thats right. Lindsey graham who said there would be hell to pay if Jeff Sessions was fired is now teaming up with democratic senator corey booker on legislation to prevent the firing of any special counsel including Robert Mueller without judicial review. In other words, the courts would have to decide if the firing is legitimate. Lindsey graham says its part of the checks and balance system. Listen. The president cannot draw a redline as to what a special counsel might do. Thats inappropriate. If mr. Mueller has a conflict, bring it to us. Well deal with it. The idea that he would be dismissed while investigating the president and his team is unacceptable. Even we should know with bipartisan support, the bill is facing an uphill battle because it would need the pass both the senate and the house and they would have to be signed into law by the president. Congress could override a president ial veto, but getting enough votes to do that would be highly unlikely. Shep . Shepard meantime, the attorney general says hes focusing on his job. Yeah. He says he plans to fight for trumps agenda and that he understands what is needed in the department of justice. Sessions is even touting what he calls the administrations accomplishment including a lower flow of Illegal Immigrants and working with attorney generals in other countries like el salvador to crack down on gang violence. Listen to him. The partnership weve had for several months is encourage him and support him in his bold efforts that are hurting ms13 here in el salvador. That kind of thing is what is exciting to me. Weve achieved more than i thought at this point in time. Sessions went on to talk about cracking down on intelligence leaks. He said he would be holding a News Conference about those leaks sometime in the coming week. Shep . Shepard Trace Gallagher reporting. Congress slapped new punishments on russia. Well talk about that within an Associated Press reporter and how the kremlin is already striking back. Thats next. Backpack, check. Thats the family taking care of business. Awesome notebook check. But who takes care of them . Office depot office max. This week, these composition books are just 25 cents each. Taking care of business shepard russia is ording the United States to cut back its diplomatic staff, revenge after Congress Passed new sanctions on the country. Russia is taking over a country retreat that our diplomatic staff uses. Its similar to when the Obama Administration booted some Russian Diplomats and seized two compounds here after russias meddling in our election. Nearly everybody in congress voted for the sanctions. The legislation would keep the president from easing sanctions without getting the okay from congress putting the president in check. Lets turn to Josh Letterman from the Associated Press. Good to see you. Hi, shep. Shepard the part about restricting what the president is do, is this unusual, unique . Its very unique. It stems from concerns among really members of both parties in congress that President Trump wants to pursue closer relations with russia and might be inclined to ease the sanctions put in place in the past. Of course, the fact that theres a disconnect between congress and the white house on how they should go about these sanction and the future lifting of them doesnt matter to moscow. They know it will make life harder for them and thats why russia is responding, all right, you slapped us with sanctions, you closed our compounds, were going to do the same thing from you. Shepard aside from those three things, were there other sanctions, ones that were particularly biting for them . Theres been all kinds of economic sanctions on the russians not only over our concerns about cyber interference but also over the situation in ukraine and then this legislation that were seeing now that is going to be headed to the president s desk and would add additional sanctions while also making it harder for the president. He would have to go through congress if he ever wanted to ease sanctions. Shepard the white house lobbied congress against this measure, right . Thats right. Secretary of state tillerson had repeatedly told congress that they did not feel like this was a good idea, particularly because they thought this administration needed some flexibility as administrations of both parties have always wanted to make their own decisions about how and when to implement sanctions. Shepard who was it in congress, if there was a particular person, that was insistent on taking away the president s ability to make these changes . Its an interesting question. Its been a lot of members of congress. Its been members of the Republican Party along with the democratic party. Republicans controlled both chambers of congress. They control what goes to the floor and what goes to the president s desk. Youve seen a lot of prominent members, the leading republicans on the senate and house Foreign Relations committees that have been pushing this legislation. Josh letterman, Foreign Policy national, security of state department reporter. In those roles, im wondering what youre hearing about north korea. This sounds more serious. Certainly this latest provocation comes it shows that the pace of north koreas testing is now very fast. Were seeing this every few weeks. That is really creating a lot of alarm for the u. S. And were expecting that that is going to lead to some additional actions by the u. S. , potentially the secondary sanctions the u. S. Has been doing business, particularly china. We expect those kinds of stepped up measures to coming in the near future. Shepard i wonder how busy they are at the pentagon. Very busy.
