The commander of the seventh fleet as the search was on for the missing sailors after another deadly collision at sea. Plus, have you got your Powerball Ticket for what is expected to be the second largest jackpot in u. S. History . Its all happening now. We begin with this fox news alert as we await remarks from President Trump and nevada following a fiery speech last night in arizona, hello and welcome to the second hour of happening now. Im jon scott. Melissa i melissa francis, the president traveling to reno to deliver a speech to the American Legion National Convention, signed a bill making it easier for veterans to pay for benefits. This comes after the president s Campaign Style rally in phoenix, where he blasted the media, criticized arizonas two republican senators and threatened a Government Shutdown if congress doesnt fund his border wall. Chief White House White house correspondent john roberts his life with more. Good afternoon to you, the president will have another friendly crowd to speak to toda today, he likes going back to nevada as well, there are a number of times as a candidate even though the state did eventually go Hillary Clintons way in the november election. The speech he will give today, quite a bit different than what we heard last night where he employed some flames or rhetoric, accusing the media of not reporting, misreporting and distorting his comments about charlottesville. The president this afternoon will call for unity in his speech to the American Legion convention, he is expected to say in his address it is time to heal the wounds that have divided us and seek a new unity based on the common values that united us. The president will also recognize the sacrifice of veterans saying they are an inspiration to the nation. We are here to hold you up as an example of the strength, courage, and love our country will need to overcome every challenge we face. We are here to draw inspiration from you as we seek to renew the bonds that bind us together as one people and one nation. The president indicate that he plans to pardon the former sheriff who was recently convicted in criminal court even though the other violations hes ever received were a couple of parking tickets according to our file. Also announcing the north American Free trade agreement will likely die and it no matter what it takes he will likely build a wall on the border with mexico. The obstructionist democrats would like us to do it but believe me, we would have to won our government if we have to do build that wall. Let me be clear to republicans in congress who stand in the way of border security, you are putting all of americas safety at risk, you are doing that. The president s threat to shut down democrats and republicans couldnt agree on border wall, if the president pursues this path against the wishes of both republicans and democrats, as well as the majority of the american people, he will be heading toward a Government Shutdown which nobody will like and which will not accomplish anything. The president also took aim at members of his own party last night, without mentioning by a name senators jeff flake and john mccain, reminding the crowd that john mccain torpedoed a vote on Obamacare Repeal and made it clear how he feels about flake, who he is strongly opposing and next years midterm elections. Nobody wants me to talk about your other senator, who is weak on borders, weak on crime, so i wont talk about him. Nobody wants me to talk about him, nobody knows who he is. When Congress Comes back from its recess the day after labor day, things are going to get pretty interesting around here. Melissa i cant wait, efficient, comprehensive, we love it. Thank you, my friend. Jon the president using the power of the bully pulpit to hit his critics and hammer home his need to get the agenda passed in congress. We are now are some more of his remarks from phoenix last night. Im here tonight to send a message. We are fully and totally committed to fighting for our agenda and we will not stop until the job is done. But they dont report the facts. Just like they dont want to report that i spoke out forcefully against hatred, bigotry, and violence and strongly condemned the neonazis, the white supremacist, and the kkk. I have a message for congress tonight. Your job is to represent american families, american people, american workers. You need to represent them on the border. On taxes, on health care. One vote. And on every other issue that affects their lives. Jon joining us now, michael warren, Senior Writer for the weekly standard. As you review the content of the president s speech and appearance in phoenix, what would you say . Im still trying to figure that out. He was there, he said he wanted to talk to people about how he is still pushing forward on his agenda but we didnt hear much in the way of details on that agenda. He brought up the new afghanistan policy that he talked about before, he didnt have much in the way of details about tax reform, he did touch on the border wall, saying he was considering shutting down the government in order to get it. It sort of unclear about what the purpose of this speech was other than it seems to me to sort of have a good time. Have a bunch of people there who support him to clap and celebrate the president. Without pushing forward, any kind of cohesive argument or any policy, to push back against criticisms against those policies, i dont see any sort of purpose here. Jon his pointed criticisms of fellow republicans deprived a lot of people, especially when he is going to need those members of the senate to try to get his agenda passed. People didnt expect this because of arizona and the senators you have mentioned who have been radical of the president , this has been a real problem for the Republican Party in general here in washington, they are bitterly divided, the New York Times reporting about that division between the president and mitch mcconnell. This is a group of people, the people in the senate, the house republicans, who the president is going to need to push forward on that agenda. I think the speech last night gives none of those republicans were on the fence of reason to get out and work with the president. Jon the New York Times is reporting the majority leader of the u. S. Senate, mitch mcconnell, is basically wondering aloud to aids whether this administration can save itself. This is a bad moment right now for the president , it would be a good moment for him to bridge that gap. The fact that he is giving credence to a primary challenge challenger, look, arizona is not a state that the president won by a big margin. There is a very growing democratic contingent data that can contest that, certainly in a senate race. This is a senate seat republicans need to keep. The president is really not doing anything to health the incumbent. Maybe another republican can do well but there are democrats who think they can win back the seat, thats got to be angering mitch mcconnell. Jon youve got to raise the debt ceiling, there is talk about passing some kind of tax reform legislation, it would seem the president needs as many allies as he can find on capitol hill. I talked to the white house, on a continuing resolution, the budget resolution thats going to be coming up next month, its likely there is going to be a clean budget resolution to push back this question of the wall and border funding a couple of months back to kind of basically give republicans in congress to figure if they can come together on something. With the president said last night, that he is considering shutting down the government, that throws all those plans the white house is making and i am hearing this from them, to the wayside. I think theres a problem here as well, as the white house official said last week, of the president going rogue and setting the agenda and a big political rally rather than with his aides and trying to figure out the best way forward for his agenda. Jon it was some kind of theater. We will see if there is more on that in the weeks and months ahead. Michael warren, thank you. Melissa congressional investigators grilled one of the men responsible for producing an unverified dossier of allegations involving President Trump. Glen simpson, he was the cofounder of fusion, met with the Senate Judiciary committee yesterday. Simpson hired a former British Intelligence officer to find ties between intelligence associates and russia and create the dossier. Catherine herridge is live in washington at one point this story was whitehot but now we dont hear that much about it. That might have to do with the fact that congress is in recess. The statement from simpsons lawyer claims that he is being smeared by the Campaign Team and allies over the issue. After the Senate Committee confirms that simpson and his legal Team Provided thousands of worthless documents to congressional investigators, the Statement Reads in part fusions recent production of documents consisted solely of headlines from news reports and over 7500 pages of blank paper. Fusion eventually provided a copy of the same unverified dossier that has been publicly available since january. The Senate Committee issued a subpoena for simpson to publicly testify, at the same time fox news found simpson and his lawyer reportedly told the committee he was on vacation and traveling through early august. Fox news understands that investigators want more information on simpsons sources and who paid for the dossier. Last month the committees chairman the repeal of u. S. Sanctions punishing senior u. S. Officials for his murder. Could you explain exactly how mr. Simpson manipulated the media to spare you and undermine the act . Glenn simpson was calling a number of journalists, the story you are pitching was that he had not been murdered but he died of natural causes. That he was not a whistleblower, he was a criminal. Simpson is one of the three key witnesses to speak in a private with the Senate Judiciary committee. Melissa its like a spy novel. It is. Melissa unbelievable story story. Catherine herridge, we really appreciate it. Jon the Trump Administration is trying to broker peace talks between palestinians and israelis, with the Jared Kushner, the president s soninlaw visiting. While over there, he is running into a diplomatic snob. How the there could be an impan the legislation the white house wants passed. President trump took a shot at lawmakers on the other side of the aisle in arizona the other night. All of the democrats in congress, thats the only thing they do well.

Melissa the president s soninlaw and Senior Advisor as to the middle east, Jared Kushner leading a delegation hoping to jumpstart peace talks between israelis and palestinians. He will meet with the israeli Prime Minister and palestinian president , but the delegation ran into a diplomatic snag during a stop in egypt. Conor powell is live from jerusalem with more. This trip seemed to have started well, kushner and his team met with leaders from saudi arabia and talked about regional issues including peace process. It was in egypt that this diplomatic effort hit a snag. The Trump Administration stopped the payment because of egypts failure to make progress in improving human rights and also democratic institution. This was a bit of a surprise coming from the white house because President Trump has praised egypt strongly, president Abdel Fattah Elsisi for the fight against terrorism. It does appear there was at least a meeting at this high level but some of the lower level meetings did get canceled. Kushner will also be meeting israeli and palestinian leaders in the holy land tomorrow. Kushner is going to be meeting with palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas and israeli Prime Minister benjamin netanyahu. There are grumblings that there really isnt much meat to the effort here, there really arent any details to try to get this agreement going and also, Prime Minister netanyahu is facing allegations of corruption and jon danish investigators make a gruesome discovery in a case we first told you about yesterday, a missing journalist who mysteriously perished at se sea. Also, Hillary Clinton reveals how she felt during one particular debate with donald trump. And theres a whole lot more in a new book about the 2016 campaign.

Melissa we are getting the first excerpts from Hillary Clintons new book what happened . , the memoir of the 2016 election and audio experts first heard on msnbc. She says she feels like she failed her supporters. Every day that i was a candidate for president , i knew millions of people were counting on me and i couldnt bear the idea of letting them down. But i did, i couldnt get the job done and i will have to live with that for the rest of my life. Melissa clinton also revealing why she wrote the boo book. Patrick griffin is a former Media Consultant for republican president ial campaigns, Simon Rosenberg is a former bill Clinton Campaign advisor. I have to ask both of you the same question. Why did she write this, of all the things you could do right now, shes got all the money in the world, i dont understand. Why write a book . Lets look at the title, what happened. She is reporting back to the tens of millions of americans that voted for her. As you pointed out in the audio clip, she is taking responsibility. She feels like she let people down and she wants to give her best take to explain what happened in the selection and why she did not win. Melissa i guess. Thats probably the thing that makes the most sense. Its a topic that has been exhausted. Everybody involved with this has come out and talked about what happened, including herself. She sat on stage and shes done it, there were a million other ways to do it, she could write a long piece for the New York Times. Why write a whole entire book . Two reasons, melissa. The clintons like money and i think she believes she can get some money from this book and the second reason is, Hillary Clinton in her own words is baffled as to what happened. The fact that Hillary Clinton is still out there makes her the undead for the democrats. She is continuing to not go away, she will not go quietly into that good, good night and frankly she should make every democrats skin crawl as long as she is out there continuing to try and get herself into the argument and try to be relevant as we approach 2020. I think shes going to run for president again. Melissa i dont buy that money argument because the clintons have more money than god, they dont need any more money. The last publisher took a bath on the book she wrote, it didnt even come close to out earning the advance that she got so i cant imagine this was a huge financial benefit to her at all. Do you think it is about trying to run for something down the road . No. I think its about i worked in the war room in 1992 in the basic premise of that was you cant let any attack go unaddressed, it will stick. I think she made a decision, given all the questions about what happened in this election, she was going to give her best shot at it. This is american history. This was a historical
