a year from liftoff. liz: distinct advantage of being here when the history books are rewritten. jeff reeves, investorplace.com. watch it as you guys are watching it. brand new all-time record for the s&p 500. here is the "countdown to the closing bell." connell mcshane and melissa francis here on record breaking day. >> no doubt about it. has been a banner day for stocks. s&p 500 closing at all-time high connell: i'm connell mcshane in for david asman. >> i'm melissa francis. this is shooting in st. joseph, michigan. according to "detroit free

press" three people are dead at the baron county courthouse. two people dead are court bailiffs. the other person is the shooter. we'll bring you developments as this happens. this as cleveland is focused on security gearing up for the republican convention next week. committees meeting right now to set the party platform for next week. we'll take you there what you can expect from law enforcement, trump supporters and republicans who are trying one last time to stop him. bin laden's son vowing revenge for his father's death. how seriously should we take the threats, connell? connell: all those stories coming up. the dow ending just short after triple-digit gain up 78 points. closing in on a all-time high. s&p 500 made it all the way there to all-time high territory with a new record set today. phil flynn of price futures, fox business contributor, watching all the action in oil and gold in chicago at cme.

lori rothman in the new york at the new york stock exchange. let's start with you, lori, what is driving things today? reporter: great day to be here today. s&p 500 closing at new all-time high, 2137. the dow closes just 87 points shy of an all-time high. so you've got momentum built in from the release friday of the june jobs report. there is transparency coming out of the uk with teresa may emerging as the new prime minister. a lot of calm returning to this marketplace. we saw many s&p members hit lifetime highs being brought up by the strength of the benchmark averages. dollar general, autozone closed slightly lower but they backed off the lifetime highs. back to you. >> thank you so much for that, lori. oil is dropping settling at two-month low. phil, talk to me about the

decline. >> it is dropping in a big way. oil tried to overcome the fact that we're hearing reports of more supply from canada, nigeria and libya but throw that all out. we got a report, a private report from platts about opec production that rose 30,000 barrels last month which puts opec production at the highest level since 2008. so that really raised concerns that opec is going to start flooding the market at a time when demand starts to be questionable. why is demand questionable right now? uncertainty about "brexit". uncertainty about china with weak economic data. interesting that gold today, we're seeing that sell off as the stock market goes high as part of that the dollar is very, very strong. combination of those factors a little weakness on gold. so crazy day. back to you. melissa: phil thank you very much. connell. connell: crazy day on wall street especially for s&p 500. for its part the dow fewer than

100 points away from the all-time closing high. we get perspective on all of this. chris very says joins us and john petrides. chris to you first. people make big deals of round numbers. nasdaq crossed 5000 earlier in day. we were remembering what it was like last time around. s&p 500 on all-time high says what you? >> the fact it has a all-time high and looking uncertainty in the market, the "brexit" is certainly not over. we have italian bank stress tests coming, stronger dollar, we're going into earnings for expectations for s&p 500 companies to deliver growth of 13% in the back half of the year compared to first half we have not seen anything close to that over the last five years. look against the economic landscape of china and japan contracting, stronger dollar uncertainty both here at home and in the eurozone, you have to wonder how is that going to happen? connell: john, your take on it,

at least what we saw today? >> i think chris is right in the sense that investors flocking to stocks because there is nowhere else to go. central banks trashing their currency. you have negative yields or record low interest rates and cash earns you nothing. we're moving into earnings season, see fundamentals where rubber hits the road and see if volatility picks up. connell: all right, guys. other thing, john i will go back to you on this, when we go forward from here, talking about volatility picking up questions about what types to stocks to own, what are you looking at today. >> given all the political rumblings around prices on drugs that has taken multiple out of the health care stocks so we're finding value in the health care space. connell: chris? >> we like companies like amazon, costco, ones that have very distinct thematic tailwinds pushing their businesses.

that's what we're looking for, companies that ride the theme mattic waves. there is a whole host of them. we don't look at world through techtores. connell: fair enough. melissa: guys, thank you so much. second-quarter earnings season unofficially kicks off with alcoa. lori has the numbers for us. >> top and botm line beat for alcoa. shares up in the extended session, 15 cents a share adjusted on 5.3 billion in revenue. that was a little better than expected. alcoa is announcing that it will indeed separate into two separate publicly-traded companies by second half of this year. that is a key point analysts wondered about ahead of earnings call. alcoa expects improvement in the second half of the year especially because of global growth and increasing global demand in trucking industries. back to you. melissa: yeah, looks good. lori rothman, thank you so much. chris and john are back with us for reaction to this one. it is not supposed to be a great

earnings season alcoa, often the bellwether set the tones out of the gate. what do you think of that, chris? >> it is first report and you're right. it will set tone for it. very percent -- first s&p 500 company. whether it has railroad production cars, aerospace. this looks kind of toppy. this might point that not happening. airbus and boeing ratcheting up their forecast. i want to dig into commentary on the specific industries. all in all sounds like earnings could be off to a pretty solid start. melissa: jonathan would conflict with stats what people were expecting. we were looking for s&p companies to post the sixth straight quarter of declining sales, fifth straight quarter of delaning earnings. while we see alcoa beat and see the s&p reach a new record these things do not go together, which is wrong? >> two comments or point out of

the alcoa numbers that are important. one, clearly weaker dollar will help a global company like alcoa which is why you're seeing a bigger beat on top line and bottom line and the one comment that lori mentioned that global economy seeing more stability and stronger footing is a huge comment. klaus kleinfeld has a good pulse on the global economy. that conference call will be interesting to listen to. melissa: absolutely. connell: the other company getting a lot of attention today, rightfully so, amazon, another record. we have prime day coming up tomorrow. we have all the big sales and other retailers trying to match that and seems like everybody now has a big sale to match amazon. performance of the company and particularly the stock, chris, has been tremendous. what do you make of amazon? >> we love amazon a lot. it is one of our pure picks as i said on the connected society and here's the thing. we're going into seasonally stronger part of the year. we'll have back to school, holiday shopping.

amazon continues to roll out more products and more services all under the prime banner. you know just last week they fanalsed some proprietary -- announced last week with proprietary products with belly offering and on the apparel side and come back to school. the thing is when you step back to look at the stock at its current level still trading below a pe to growth level of one. there is ample room to grow in the shares. i personally like the stock to 880. connell: wow, 880 from currently 753. when you look at consumer point of view, we're talking about, what amazon already has been able to do, trying to compete with this company in, everybody, the gap and all the other places brick-and-mortar stores will put on sales tomorrow, trying to compete with amazon as was pointed out, just about everything is under the prime label now. more and more difficult to do. >> clearly amazon is waged a price war of epic proportion

upon retailers. finally the consumer wins, right if now you have full transparency on pricing. go to any big box retailer price what they're selling versus on amazon and get it free shipping presumably at cheaper price through amazon. connell: just about anything you want. chris, john, thanks to both of you. appreciate it. thank you. melissa: the son of osama bin laden vowing revenge for his father's death. details after new threat against america. connell: not over yet for hillary clinton on her email controversy. loretta lynch is set to testify on a capitol hill. melissa: donald trump on campaign trail. introducing him, chris christie. he is gunning for the vp spot but is the best choice? we have pros and cons coming up. >> there will be no should have beens, cowed have beens on on the day of election. we fought for it, we stood up and took our country back for

actions breaking news update on the story we're reporting on shooting in a courthouse in michigan. governor rick snyder says the scene is secure in st. joseph, michigan. three people are dead at the berrien county courthouse. two bailiffs are dead and other person is the shooter. more information as we get it. melissa: chris christie who is rumored to be a potential vp pick rallied alongside donald trump today. as usual things got heated against the democratic nominee. >> we need someone who has always demanded the best from everyone who has worked for him and with him. and who will place the interests

of the american people first and foremost. >> we need to clean out the corruption in government and hillary clinton will never be able to do it. she's incompetent and as proven time and time again, that she doesn't have what it takes. connell: okay. so, what's interesting about that is that christie's name certainly has been thrown around as one of the possible running mate picks for donald trump. we have the "weekly standard"'s fred barnes with us. that is the topic i guess of the week, fred, who will trump pick? a lot of speculation going into today surrounded indiana governor mike pence who will appear tomorrow. i guess he is the favorite now, right? >> well, i don't know, i wouldn't rule out newt gingrich. i don't think chris christie will get it but you can always put chris christie in the cabinet. i suspect trump would do that. mike pence brings something that newt gingrich doesn't or nobody

else does, that is party unity. trump is sort of scoffed at party unity and saying i can win. i don't need all these people but he does and conservatives who are, a lot of them are very antsy about trump love mike pence. he is conservative across the board. he a pro-lifer. he is social conservative. he is economic conservative. foreign policy conservative. so he make as lost sense. he will be auditioning tomorrow when he appears with trump as i think christie was today. connell: you think trump, that is kind of interesting, at this late-stage of the game as trump 7, as we look some of the options, mike pence bottom left of the screen. newt gingrich pointed out for, others are possibility, do you think trump notices yet, some are joking around speculate almost like audition of reality show and look at performance and make a decision by the end of the week, has he made it yet? >> yes i do believe he hasn't made it yet. this is a hard pick.

sometimes presidential nominees don't do it until during the convention. that certainly what happened with george bush, the first bush who picked, decided way late and picked dan quayle, i think about the third day of the convention. maybe it was the second day. it was something like that. connell: right. >> and so, look, mike pence lacks one thing that newt gingrich has and that is, that he doesn't know trump very well. newt gingrich is a long-time friend of trump. they're very close. trump trusts gingrich. he knows how smart he is. he listens to his advice. doesn't take all of it but certainly listens to it. so gingrich would help but he can't bring a huge pack of conservatives with him and pence may be able to do that. connell: that is interesting. newt gingrich or mike pence. as you say tomorrow, audition day. the latest audition day. fred barnes, thanks a lot. appreciate it. >> you're welcome. melissa: great britain will have

a new prime minister in place just a matter of days. david cameron of course announcing he will resign on wednesday. theresa may, the home secretary for the past six years, has been elected by britain's conservative party to replace him. >> she is strong, she is competent. she's more than able to provide the leadership our country is going to need in the years ahead and she will have my full support. >> during this campaign my case has been based on three things. first, the need for strong, proven leadership. two, see us through what will be difficult and uncertain and political and economic times. the need of course, to negotiate, the best deals for britain in leaving the eu and to forge a new role for ourselves in the world. melissa: may will be just the second woman to hold this powerful position after margaret thatcher. looks so civilized, didn't they? connell: they are encouraging her behind. here here. they moved so quickly. melissa: i know. that was pretty amazing.

connell: she is in. -- dropped out. on our front things don't move quite as quickly. still have conventions to get through. they're setting up republican agenda. grand old party arriving in cleveland. officials as you would expect tightening security. a switch in strategy for our men in blue. how police officers might be forced to change tactics after the deadliest day for law enforcement since 9/11. >> they're concerned about their jobs, they're concerned about being criticized.

connell: last week's deadly shooting in dallas that killed five police officers certainly sent shockwaves across the country and law enforcement officials are continuing their investigation of the shooter, grappling with where to could go here. so with that fox news's rick leventhal is live at police headquarters in dallas with the latest. rick? reporter: connell, the dallas police chief, david brown, revealing a lot more what investigators learned since

thursday night's shooting but also about how much more work needs to be done. for example, investigators are now reviewing 110 hours of body cam video from the police officers on scene, along with countless hours of dash-cam video and surveillance footage from nearby buildings trying to create a video timeline of the shootings. detectives are reviewing 300 interviews with witnesses to see who may need to be questioned again. some officers at the scene never gave statements to investigators. they're being tracked down now. the casualty count is i here than when we were first told. in addition to the five officers killed, nine wounded, four from dallas pd, three from the transit police department and two officers from the dallas county community colleges police department in addition to two civilians were hurt. the gunman, micah johnson was not in the disparage when police ended his life with a armed row got with c-4 explosives. he was on the second floor of the one of the adjacent college

buildings and wounded and writing on the war in his own blood, the initials r, b. the chief is defending his decision to blow up the gunman. >> he already killed us in a grave way. officers were in surgery that didn't make it. i didn't know they would pass but i knew that at least two had been killed. and we knew through negotiation this was the suspect because he was asking how many did he get. and i was telling us how many more he wanted to kill. this wasn't a ethical dilemma for me. i would do it again. reporter: the dallas police department is getting help on the ground and has been since friday from texas state police and also from the fbi which brought in 150 agents and specialists including 70 members of the evidence response team to help document and process that extensive crime scene which i have to tell you, connell, the president and the former president george bush will be

here tomorrow for a memorial service and the funerals for the five slain officers are now being planned, two of them, at least two of them will be held on wednesday. connell. connell: rick, thanks. rick leventhal live from dallas this afternoon. we'll speak with norm stamper, a little later on, former seattle police department chief and changing take ticks for police forces. that is coming up later on. melissa. melissa: anti-trump battle brewing ahead of the convention. could it be the final chance of trump opponents to stop the republican nominee? connell: the clinton email controversy is still far from over, ahead of loretta lynch testifying tomorrow. how will all that pan out. >> secretary clinton said she used just one device. was that true? >> she used multiple devices during the four years of her term as secretary of state. >> secretary clinton said all work-related emails were returned to the state department. was that true? >> no. we found work-related emails, thousands, that were not returned.

connell: more breaking news as we have just seen reports that sec is investigating tesla. sec investigating tesla for possibles securities law he breach. this because the company said to have not notified investors following a fatal autopilot accident. the investigation reportedly in the early stages. sec investigation reportedly underway. the stock down more than 1% in

after-hours trade. melissa: republican party set offing agenda with the convention exactly one week away. gop leaders trying to come to a agreement what the platform should be. that would be good. if it will include some of donald trump's controversial views. our own blake burman is in cleveland, ohio, with the details. it is shaping up to be a fun one, blake. reporter: hi, there, it is indeed, melissa. good afternoon from cleveland. pre-convention week festivities underway. starts right now earlier today and continues tomorrow as the platform committee meets here. 112 members from all over the country, basically coming to contribute a document that will lay out ideals, policy positions for the republican party over the next four years. it could potentially set up as a bit of a trap for donald trump if what platform committee puts forward doesn't line up with what trump said. he got a little bit after concession earlier today as it relates to trade. in 2012 on the platform was the

trans-pacific partnership trying to aggressively enact that deal. however a committee earlier today stripped that language from the platform, taking a cue from trump himself. the chair of the platform committee is senator john barrasso, republican from wyoming. he spoke with him earlier today and trump is taking for the most part a hands-off approach to this platform committee and here was barrasso earlier this afternoon. >> the problem with president obama is he will take any deal, even a bad deal because he is so anxious and desperate to get any deal. donald trump isn't going to do that. he will make sure that the trade deals are good ones. reporter: so the platform committee today and tomorrow. then we turn our eye to thursday and friday. that is when the rules committee will meet. that will be the last-ditch effort for never trump republicans to try to unbind the delegates, essentially setting up for what they would hope would be a convention floor fight. when you look at those 112 delegates, many whom we have

talked to, say they support trump and many are rnc members themselves making it highly unlikely it gets to that case. after friday we finally turn our attention to convention week, melissa. a lot of attention turns to the security in the area. cleveland police chief saying they will have to look at their security postures in the wake of everything that happened down there in dallas. when i spoke with the head of the police union here in cleveland, he told me that one of the changes they hope they make here in cleveland is to have more officers patrolling in tandem and not by themselves. melissa. melissa: boy, a lot to consider, a lot of safety to insure. they have their work cut out for them. blake burman. thank you very much. connell. connell: melissa we'll go back to the discussion blake started for us there on the never trump forces. this is kind of their last stand this week as they try to attempt to persuade the rules committee to adopt a proposal that would allow delegates to vote their conscience and pick the nominee, vote for whoever they want

essentially. kendall joins us, republican delegate, member of rnc committee and founder of, free the delegates. we talked to you a few weeks back about all of this, this is it, this is the time. first of all, tell us how it is going to work this week? what exactly do you hope to do timelinewise. >> actually, thursday and friday we go into the rules committee meeting. i will sponsor the conscience clause itself all delegates may unbind according to conscience without repercussions from state law and party itself. i want to really make sure people understand i'm codifying a right that already exists. this isn't giving them permission to do it. it is just allowing them to be aware of something already exists, inherent constitutional god-given right to vote on floor. connell: there is some debate over there, right? there are others say, that is not the way it is. >> of course. you have people that will protect the party. want power and control and establishment types don't want

voice of people to be reflected in the delegation but there are enough people become empowered and aware, history of the party, 30 nine out of 40 conventions always allowed for delegates to unwind. connell: okay. >> i'm very confident that the amendment though, that might conscience clause is going to actually pass out of the rules committee with the "minority report," of that i'm confident. then it will move on to the floor so the delegates can have a vote on that. connell: now, let's move forward. i guess all this becomes hypothetical then and get to that point. probably heard blake's reporting a few minutes ago, even from the people he is speaking to out there in cleveland, delegates and like it is still unlikely this ends up amounting to anything because delegates, still themselves, unbound, many are trump supporters. what do you say for that? >> that might be true. trump should welcome the fact people vote their free conscience on the floor. he would walk out with more of a unified party. we're going into the convention with momentum. tell you what happened last

couple days, people on the fence have been waiting to see if there was any type of legitimacy to the movement. they have actually joined. what we're up against is the tactics of rnc joined with the trump campaign and surrogates actually to mandate and police, thought police because they are actually punishing people and penalizing delegates and yanking their credentials a before they taken an action to unbind. they're preempting a action. i find that ludicrous. that is what we're fighting right now. we're going in with momentum. we have the numbers, we are confident we have the numbers to keep donald trump from reaching that threshold. connell: we'll follow it, kendall. as we have all week. we'll get an update. >> it will be a real convention. thank you for the time. connell: okay. melissa: no doubt. hillary clinton email investigation aftermath is heating up again as loretta lynch is scheduled to testify tomorrow. this just as a new poll today showing that 56% of americans disapprove of the fbi's recommendation not to charge clinton.

here now sabrina schaefer of the independent women's forum. we also have julie roginsky, a fox news contributor. thanks to both of you for joining us. sabrina, let me start with you. what do republicans hope to achieve by having loretta lynch tomorrow? it seems predictable where this is heading? >> this is so interesting, melissa. i feel one of the challenges for republicans that public doesn't already trust hillary clinton. her untrustworthiness numbers are through the roof. what they have to do to point out this is not just about her trustworthiness, but about her judgment as leader. i think they may have more emotion. that is what we're seeing the american public responding to. neither side, republicans or democrats they are voting against the other side. that is what they need to keep pushing here. connell: i hear that julie, but do they drill that by grilling loretta lynch? the fbi told me no sane

prosecutor would go after this and there you go? >> very puzzling, on one hand to have republican leaders how they wanted jim comey to be decisionmaker on this, he trusted them. he was one of them. the least biased person in washington. i can give you 10 other quotes extolling his virtue and wanted to depoliticize this taking attorney general political appointee out of this and lo and behold when jim comey return ad verdict not to their liking suddenly they started grilling jim comey. connell: but, jewelrily, hang on -- julie, i hear your point, but when we're talking about the optics and visual here, what you're saying they wanted him to decide, they thought he would decide their way. he didn't. >> right. connell: they brought him out to rake him over the coals, depending how you looked at that how that went is in the buy of the beholder. doubling down on that with loretta lynch who is one step removed. >> that is my point. my point i was trying to make, you have to not go overboard.

i think what hillary clinton did was inexcusable. it was massive mistake on her part. never defended it from day one. connell: right, no you haven't. >> suddenly don't like the results drag in administration after administration appointee to make the same can case over and over looks like overkill. people will say ultimately, look what are you trying to accomplish here? what is the end goal, other than to make the same point you made the last wickers the next week and next month. connell: sabrina, the flip side they seemed to be grabbing something did she lie to the fbi? that is something many people in the past gotten in big trouble and gone to jail. we'll send you, you know, note to get working on that, that sort of stuff, that was the road to go down, wasn't it? is that heading down this road? it seems like it is veering off in another direction. >> i agree with julie it is really difficult the optics on this can get very hard. but at same time, julie and i

democrats, republicans conservatives, and progressives, should be on same side, lawlessness trickles down from the top and louis confidence in government and rule of law that is serious problem, that is for all of us no matter what party you identify most with. republicans should look for more allies on the left to help them accomplish this. this is something so serious, there will be a day when democrat is not in office. democrats will want the republican to be held to the same standard. this is many ways for country to unify rather than be in opposition. connell: julie, do you buy that? >> i buy that partially. at end. day if jim comey is not impartial arbiter. you keep saying lawlessness. jim comey said there wasn't. if we don't trust a fbi director which we both agree was impartial arbiter. >> he sort of said there was but we'll not punish it. connell: we don't need to relitigate. connell?

connell: other big story of democratic party involves ben bernanke. he and hillary clinton are likely to join forces. they will campaign tomorrow up in new hampshire. peter barnes joins us with the latest on all this. peter? reporter: connell, tomorrow morning bernie sanders is expected to finally suspend his campaign for president and endorse hillary clinton for the president which she won weeks ago. until now sanders resisted endorsing clinton. instead continuing to campaign to win concessions on his agenda and he got some of that in the meeting of the democrats plat committee which wrapped up its work in orlando last week. for example, sanders got port in the platform for $15 an hour minimum wage. clinton supported $12 an hour. he endorsed other sanders priorities, government-run public option and health care health insurance, a step toward

universal coverage and funding for more rural health centers but he hasn't gotten everything he wants from clinton. for example clinton has not fully embraced his proposal for free college education for everyone. she would limit government assistance to families that make less than $1,255,000 a year. -- $125,000 a year. the convention starts two weeks from today. connell: thank you, peter. optics and everything else. melissa: big switch in strategy for police forces around the country. impact of the shootings in dallas and how officers might now be forced to change tactics after the deadliest day for law enforcement since 9/11.

connell: here is another look as we come back where markets ended the day on this monday, record-setting monday for s&p 500. all-time high.

40 stocks following suit. dow and nasdaq did well as well. close to hitting record highs. pretty good day. listen. melissa: after riots in st. paul and baton rouge over the death of two black men shot by police and deadly sniper shooting of five dal also police officers police across the u.s. have been have been under increased pressure. listen. >> we're asking cops to do too much in this country. just we are. every societal failure we put it off the cops to fall. schools fail. give it to the cops. 70% of the african-americans being raised by single women. give it to the cops to solve that as well. that is too much to ask. policing was never meant to solve all of those problems. melissa: here to weigh in, law, on law enforcement and where we should go from here, we're joined by norm stamper, former seattle police department chief and author of, to protect and

serve. thanks for joining us. what do you think of what you just heard? >> i understand the sentiment obviously and as a cop for four years i felt there -- 34 years. i have felt many moments this just isn't our fault. we're not responsible for crushing poverty. we're not responsible for some of the social ills that affleck, certainly inner cities, parts of this country but i think it is fundamentally wrong to say that we're not responsible even though people want to give us that job. i think what we are responsible for in law enforcement, is building a mutually-trusting relationship with the community and working to establish authentic partnerships with the people we serve. melissa: i mean that is something that a lot of people say. of course in theory it is what you would want. what would you do differently today that you see not happening in this community, communities around the country that would work towards that goal?

>> there are two things i would do. one is to invite citizen participation in just about all aspects of police operations. the police in america belong to the people, not the other way around. it's vital i think, that citizens be involved in policy-making and program development and crisis management. citizens should be sitting next to police commanders when they're interviewing candidates to be hired for local law enforcement agency. they should be teaching in the academy. so important to create normalcy between community and police as partners. also, i think we're long overdue for setting standards for law enforcement. it is inconceivable to many, myself included, that a police officer in ferguson, missouri, is held to a standards peculiar to that agency, that jurisdiction while nypd or

chicago or detroit or newark or any other city the officers are responding to their own unique police department and not a set of national standards. melissa: this was the police chief. we don't have time to play the sound bite. this was out of st. paul the chief there, saying it was first time in his 28 years as police officer i have observed the level of violence that was directed towards our public servants. he was really at wits end. couldn't believe what he was seeing going on. what do you think? have things gotten worse in your opinion? >> several things have happened. one of which is we're now seeing the kind of behavior that occasioned in the past was only very occasionally witnessed. by that i mean, citizens who picked up newspapers in years past and read the police account of a shooting, for example, that say, well, it is an occupational hazard, it's a tragedy i understand why the police officer had to use lethal force. do our citizens, white and

black, are seeing video coverage, often times accompanied by audio, and it is shocking. it is truly shocking to many people who, in the past simply accepted that the, you know, i don't want to sate official line of the police department but the police department's view of what took place. melissa: it is also different reading about it in a paper days later when things calmed down or next day as opposed to seeing video create as different instant reaction. >> sure. melissa: thank you for joining us. appreciate it, connell. >> my pleasure. connell: story of a promise of new attacks on americans and the story and threat comes from osama bin laden's son. vowing to avenge his father's death. that's next.

melissa: osama bin laden's son vows revenge, sorry, hamza bin laden threatened the u.s. for assassinating his father. this is according to an audio message released by al qaeda's media arm. bin laden problem missing the terror group will continue to wage war against the united states. here to weigh in lt. general thomas mack americanly, fox news military analyst. thanks for being here. what do you make of this? >> i think he was the heir apparent, melissa. so it is kind of his turn right now but i think there is something a little deeper. al qaeda has been eclipsed by isis and they have been getting all the publicity and what we're now seeing with the departure of isis from fallujah and attack about to begin in mosul, they see that isis will be on the ash heap of history within the next year. melissa: you think? you really think that? >> i think so. i think so. here is why i think so.

remember when they tried to escape out of mosul on the 29th and 30th, we destroyed 175 vehicles and killed at least 300 isis troops. that is a large chunk to use in one, in two nights. there are even more. i sense that politically with secretary carter's visit over there arriving last night, that they are about to, this administration is about to crank it up, to take mosul down because they can not handle the publicity going into the election that the democrats have been very ineffective handling isis. melissa: that is interesting. that would feel like a departure from where we have been. >> yes. >> problem with the theory we heard how far isis spread from the territory. while they may be losing ground in the caliphate, that they moved on to so many other countries the genie is out of the bottle.

>> that is very good point except the center of gravity where they declared caliphate was iraq and syria. if they lose mosul, they're pushed out of iraq and raqqa their capital there is a prime target. we haven't seen tried to take raqqa down yet. it is pathetic the way this campaign has been conducted but the fact is, if they lose their center of gravity you can have something in certain -- syria and something in afghanistan but you have lost the caliphate. melissa: very quickly, do you think president obama has the will to do that at this point after so much time he hasn't done that? >> that is a very good question. i think he senses that the way trump has come along, that the american people are very truss truss -- frustrated the way he has done it and impacting i believe on hillary clinton's campaign. melissa: wow. >> a little early to say that. melissa: general, thank you so much for joining us. it is very interesting perspective.

i haven't heard anyone else say that. very interesting. we'll see. thank you, sir. >> thanks, melissa. melissa: connell. connell: much, much different story coming up here. this phenomenon only days old but might already be game over for "pokemon go." people are just absolutely crazed b we'll talk about that. i have asthma... ...one of many pieces in my life. so when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my long-term control medicine. i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms. breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. breo won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. breo opens up airways to help improve breathing for a full 24 hours. breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a
