three developing stories we are watching this hour. americans giving new opinions on obama care and strategies of democrats and republicans. the gop is set to decide who takes eric cantor's post. and brazil hosting soccer's biggest event. the world cup starts hours from now. and celebrations coming with major challenges. we are there, live. after capturing key cities. islamic terrorist are setting sites on baghdad.

and opening the door to providing american support to the embattled iraqi government. welcome to a new hour of happening now. i am jenna lee. >> there is new fighting breaking out in northern iraq tie tikrit. meanwhile government troops are answering the call to defend the city. you are looking at vof what we are told iraqi soldiers lining up in the airport to buy tickets to go in and defend baghdad. so far nothing has stormed the sunni islamic terrorist leaving a trail of destruction. now iraq on the brink of collapse. the shiit led government is turning to the united states for help before a looming fight for baghdad and a fight spreading to

the east. jennifer has the latest from the pentagon. >> fox news learned that the request for u.s. air support came from the a l- ma lligovernment. they are busy working up options should the white house decide to act. unmanned and manned planes and few here think that air strikes are a viable option. the pentagon is pointing to the 15 billion in foreign military sales since 2005. to include missiles and a patche helicopter sales and later this fall we are still on track for the two f- 16s. there is a robust military to military relationship that we continue to pursue with the iraqi security forces and we are

certainly in touch with iraqi leadership. >> there are no indication that the state department is preparing to evacuate the u.s. embassy where 200 u.s. military is based. in light of the developments in syria and iraq senator john mccain called for the president to replace the chairman dempsooe. >> we need a new team that knows what america's national security are and more interested in national security than they are in politics. >> reporter: u.s. special operations forces are training iraqi forces in neighboring jordan and that training began on monday. >> we'll stay with the story. in the moan time new

insights on the health care poll. the 39 percent support the health care law and 53 percent oppose it. and as for the president's handling. 58 percent disapprove and 38 approve. his approval rate dropped down from froin percent to 39 percent. the president is said to be pushing democrats to run on obama care in november. chris, a big, big news day. why would the president push health care? >> i don't think and i don't know what bloomberg sources are. if there is one thing to do if you like obama care vote for me. but if you are a democrat in the senate. it passed by a single vote and

every single democrat senator can be said to be the vote between obama care passing or not. you want to neutralize the issue. and look at internals in the bloomberg poll. while people don't like obama care, according to the fox poll they have accepted it. only 32 percent said that they would like to see it repealed and 56 percent said they would like to see it with modificat n modificatio modifications. and there is a lot they do like. they like the idea that kids up to the age of 26 can stay on their parent's policys. and 65 say they like the idea that insurance companies are banned from cutting people off with preexisting conditions. and you are not going to it go out and say vote for me because i voted for obama care. you want to say we need to fix.

it but there are things that is okay. >> because there are a number of the people asking for a full repeal. less americans are saying full repeal of the law, how does that present a interesting strategy question for republicans? >> it is. one of the debates in the republican party. do you have to present an alternative or be against. repeal or replace? >> and these polling numbers indicate an alternative and not just against obama care, you got to say how you would fix it. >> on the immediate horizon, you have eric cantor's loss in virginia and he will step down end of july. and another leadership election, as players jockey out their positions on capitol hill. we saw the reaction from house

leadership on both sides, from boehner and pelosi. >> i ran my race in a way that i thought i should run my race. i will not analyze that race down there. im not going to analyze what happened in the election. >> i have sympathy for mr. cantor as he would want me to have for him. why are you laughing? >> not going to talk about it. nancy pelosi and her reaction. and where does that go from here, not only the republicans that have to figure it out but also for democrats? >> their reaction in the grin from nancy pelosi, look, we are going to argue that this shoes eric cantor is not conservative enough for republicans and they want to portray republicans out of touch of the mainstream.

and the results in virginia will make it easier for them to do that. interesting development today is that you have on one hand kevin mccarthy sewn as part of the leadership and he wants to move from whip to majority leader. but another conservative said he will not run and one person who will run in opposition to mccarthy is pete sessions. he is close to boehner and part of the leadership. he's chairman of the rules committee and even if sessions were to beat mccarthy, i don't know if it would be a big victory for insurgents. it seems like who ever wins the race for the establishment will be able to say they are still in charge. >> i know you will be talking about that on sunday. the big story is iraq.

we have a pressing issue of what is happening inside of the country of iraq. and the president not ruling out anything at this point. >> how dow think this plays out in light of the bergdahl prisoner swap and va scandal and focus on afghanistan and how does the president handle this? when? >> the best part of the question is when? they were caught flat-footed and they are talking about providing aid and you heard admiral kirby talking about we have some fighter jets that are going to get there in the fall. the islamic state of al-qaeda and syria are on the out skirts of baghdad. taking over mosul and tikrit. we are so far behind the curve,

the malak i. and president obama and top advisors, whatever aid to give them we should iraqi soldiers are on the run. you saw them in southern iraq trying to fly in baghdad to help defend. it but many more who took off uniforms and dropped their gups and fled for the heads. this is an army we tried to celt up and they have deserted and fallen away and we are paying the price for the fact that we never had the status of forces agreement to keep the americans troops to steady the iraqi forces. >> it is worth the prime minister{for help would not negotiate that agreement. but the criticism is heavy on the united states. he was not a partner in that. it will be interesting to see

how we go over the next few days. and great to it see you as always. chris will sit down with an exclusive grew with the chairman of the republican senate committee and greg wals mon. chairman of the republican congressional committee. eric. >> speaking of politics, a brand new poll shoes republicans and democrats decided on idea logical divide. there is more division than in any point in the last two decades. they are consistently conservative or consistently liberal has doubled to 21 percent. we'll look at the grap h. the middle part of both of those years, look at that comparison. the middle part shoes how the overlap of both parties has diminishes.

>> the middle ground is shrinking. >> and president obama is in the hot society over the va scandal and the bergdahl prisoner swap for the five taliban detainees. guys? >> hi, jenna. the bergdahl swap is the straw that broke the veteran's back. the senate passed legislation along for the senior executives to be fired. >> and in recent days, fox news had the opportunity to speak to whistle blowers, the doctor in oklahoma city. as he examined the records of patients that he would be a signed to care for, he noticed many of them were dead and yet his boss kept them on the list. >> he could use the numbers and

cook the books and show we were taking care of so many people we needed more federal follow-uppeds to put together more of these panels and he would show his numbers and get his federal funding for more panels and show what a good boyhe was and he would get a bonus. >> what you heard was deceit and manip always by lower ups that are told to do certain things to get certain things established so they it meet certain performances and that is theft and deceit and to me criminal. >> senator coburn referred so many whistle blowers to the inspector general's office it can take no more. >> they are examining wrongdoing in 69 hospitals and they have criminal expertise and they are referring their findings to the the fbi. jenna. after being on hold for

months, the u.s. launches two deadly drone strikes and where it happen next. >> and we have showed you this. former president george bush redefined how you spent your ninth birthday. it is 20 years since the murders of nicole brown simpson and ron goldman. do you think that today's technology would have changed the outcome and verdict? go to fox news.com/happening now. and america is asking to join the discussion. o.j. simpson simpson, the trial 20 years later, what you think coming up in the fox news channel. than tums smoothies assorted fruit. mmm. amazing. yeah, i get that a lot. alka seltzer heartburn reliefchews. enjoy the relief. and i'm his mom at the dog park. the kids get trail mix,

and here's what you get after a full day of chasing that cute little poodle from down the street. mm hmm delicious milo's kitchen chicken meatballs. they look homemade, which he likes almost as much as making new friends yes, i'll call her. aww, ladies' man. milo's kitchen. made in the usa with chicken or beef as the number one ingredient. the best treats come from the kitchen. that would be my daughter -- hi dad. she's a dietitian.

>> the suspension of the u.s. drone come pain is apparently over. it is according to local officials and if confirmed this would be the first u.s. strike in pakistan in six months. this comes after three days after a taliban raid that left 36 people dead in an international airport. pakistan requested the drone campaign that would be suspended last fall. eric? >> jenna back here at home what a way to turn 90. can we do this when we turn 90 years old?

that is president bush marking his birthday with a tannedum jumper. it is near the bush family summer home. and there is a big party tonight. and right near where the president touched down. he is some inspiration. >> reporter: a lot of people pouring out to so. this the former president george. bush making his successful eighth parachute jump. and landing in st. a nn's church. it was a tannedum jump with mike elliott. and members of all veteran group and former members of the u.s. golden nights. and today's jump far different than bush's first parachute jump over the pacific in world war ii and he bailed out after

a bombing mig. he had volunteered to be a navy pilot. and riching the distinguished navy cross. and 1997 he fulfilled a war- time promise that he made to himself. he would jump for the fun of it. and the reopening of the presidential library and 85th here in maine. >> and happy birthday to the former president. absolutely terrific. thank you so much. >> we asked the viewers to weigh in on what they thought. robert osborne tweeted. may god bless george bush senior. he makes me proud to be a american. happy birthday. looks like 90 is the new 60. diane, i think you are right. >> and got to love papa bush has the great can do attitude. god bless president bush.

you have to give him credit. jumping out of a helicopter, right. jumping out. >> i would be scared to do that. >> on my birthday, i went to dinner. no jumping. that's right. >> he's having a big celebration tonight and big dinner party with 200 closest friends. >> he deserves it. it is absolutely fabulous. >> look at this boat, it went up in flames and passengers were left with few options. and it started 20 years ago today. horrible murders of nicole brown simpson and ron goldman. remember the bronco chase and trial? after twep years, we'll look back at the trial and legacy of o.j. simpson s o.j. simpson.

>> everyone forced to abandon a ship off of an island on vancouver, canada. two people and their dog escaped. no word if there were jurisdiction or how the fire started. >> it was 20 years ago today when o.j. simpson's ex-wife and her friend were found dead outside of their home. the murder trial of the football great was known as the trial of the century. and captivated the nation for more than a year. oj acquitted and 20 years later some wondered if it would be different if the killings happen now. >> the dream team thanking the

jury and a sense of relief for him and obviously understanding he could have faced the rest of his life in prison. njoining us now is a former prosecutor, and criminal defense attorney. good to see you. it doesn't seem like 20 years, i covered that trial for fox news and what is key to me after being the autopsy was the rage and hatred and they were gruesome and anger and we couldn't show that because they it were so gruesome. >> it was the autopsy photos and dna evident and bloody gloves and socks and there was so much there and the jury acquitted him. would it be different now? dna has evolved and the jury didn't accept. it this might be different witnesses, but would the jury ever convict? >> talking about the racial

component. it is drop by drop. thn the bronco and on the dash and steering wheel. tom, would it be different than could have nailed oj? >> i don't think the science would be different but we have cultural differences and one of the differences is dna is accepted on the kitchen table basis as being almost infallible. the science of dna hasn't changed but the perception of it publicly has. i would like to think and maybe this is overly optimistic that we are in a slightly different place as far as the racial tones. it was an immediate aftermath of rodney king. and look at 20th century. and you will see a century that started and trials of white

people accused of gruesomely killing black people were acquitted systemically and the century closed with the reverse of. that i don't think you can ignore the racial component. >> happening in the first place. there seem to be stronger domestic violence laws and programs and nicole had told sister denise that oj was going to kill her. would that be more advanced for victims of domestic violence. >> there is more help for victims in and out of court. but remember, she was away and he came and killed her. >> allegedly. >> sorry showed my conclusion. and 20 years since oj said he would find the role killers. there is a lot more on the chaen of custody. >> and so the police and law

enforcement learned a lesson. the legacy still stays with us. >> and tomorrow night a special on fox news channel. gretta will investigate o.j. simpson, here 20 years later. >> and in the meantime. new information on the benghazi terrorist attack. what fox news is learning about the assault on the consulate. and the picture on your screen. a snapshot of the chaos on the southern border as thousands of children pour in the country. it is a volatile situation in the town where they are going. and ahead of soccer's biggest event. brazil is facing tension hours before the kick off of the world cup. okay, listen up! i'm re-workin' the menu.

new information for you now on the deadly benghazi terrorist attacks. information shoes a disconnect tone the military intelligence and white house policy makers. our chief correspondent is live with those details. what do they have? >> reporter: thank you, eric. they confirmed to fox news a new memo drawn up by the defense department and sent to the state

department as the current available enteleigence in the early morning hours in september 14th three days before the ambassador rice's sunday show surface and the e-mail that blamed an e-mail and not a policy failure for the unrest and violence in the midwest. four suspects had direct connect ekz. and seven to answa r alsharia. >> they anyhow it was an al-qaeda attack. and the idea they didn't know that early on and suspected it was something entirely is willful blindness. >> reporter: mrs. clinton said the administration made new information available when they got it and every step of the way when it was learned it was shared with congress and the american people.

there is a difference tone getting it wrong or committing it. they are asking them to declass foy the demo. >> it is a document distributed to the state department and intelligence community. they said there is new information that becomes available we would share it with the american people. show them the document. it is crystal clear who they thought committed that attack. joishgs fox news is asking the state department why it took two years to produce the document for capitol hill. >> every day so much new to know. ntens of thousands of immigrant children from central america are entering the country through texas illegally. they are transported to processing centers in places

like arizona and they are holding 1,000 kids in nogales. >> the mayor visited the tranitional center. mayor tis great to have your perspective. what did you see on monday in the tran egzal center? what was it like? >> they actually changed the whole outlook of the border patrol station. they divided it in sections of the warehouse close to a hundred thousand square feet of it and they partitioned it off to separate the children between ages from under 12, girls under 12 and byes and little older boys in two sections and they did two sections for ca feteria one for the girl ands boys and area for medical so they can be examined by doctors and

vaccinated bo if needed and where they can talk to relatives within the united states and possibly their consulate. >> mr. mayor, when did this all begin for you in the city of nogales. border patrol has a presence. you are a border town. when did you realize they were going to expand and change the facilities? and when did it become clear there were more children than normal coming? >> my first phone call was on thursday from the agent in charge. telling me exact he what they expected. and then on saturday, i find out there was 700 children within the processing center. and i was asked to visit at the time. and i said i would wait until monday and i visited on monday to talk to the children and to

see what was going on and then one of the things i found out. everyone was talking like it was a detention center. and we found it was a processing center and then i found out three elections and they were going to be sent to one in california and one in texas and the other in oklahoma and found out it was going to be going on anywhere from between here to september of this year, and so all of the summer. what concerns do you have about it? >> we were a border town i wanted to know if there is any issue. and reference to the children and we wanted to know if or how they were taken care of. respiratory it is from the

state. and we started a clothing drive. and everyone was receiving clothing from people. >> and i know your wife is involved and it seems like an effort from the town. you have more experience than other people weigh nothing on the immigration issue because you are a mayor of the largest border town in arizona. they are here illegally and on the other hand they are children and you want to help them and that is the natural inclination. what is the solution? >> one of the solutions, we need to get more information as to what is happening in the point of origin. we need to find out what is the reason for them coming over

here? i talked to a couple of little girls ten years old. and to have a child ten years old travel close to 1500 miles in central america that is concerns. i am a father and a grandfather and i could not imagine a ten yearole traveling that far to make it to the united states. i don't know if they were accompanied by relatives or who accompanied them. it is it a task. and so, being, coming in and then finding themselves here and then i hear the number exsowing 50,000 in texas alone. it is a monumental tack for border patrol and everyone involved. we need to get the answers from the countries find out exactly what is happening there. >> it is an excellent point. the numbers could be 100,000.

a thousand plus mile to get to the border and children very, very young. i hope you come back on the program. it is a story to follow. we appreciate your perspective. >> thank you. and meanwhile is iraq on the verge of collapse as islamic terrorist threaten to march on baghdad? we'll have new insight next.

>> hi, everyone. i am gretchen carlsson. coming up on the role story live from l.a. we'll talk to the money ball, the style combie, beend the impressive win of dave brat. he will share his number crunching winning secret. plus do you like butter? who doesn't. new science said they were wrong about fat and that is good news for today. and presidential candidate and fred thompson is here to talk about the reason i am here in la. find out why in the top of the hour. >> back to iraq now. islamic terrorist vow to march on baghdad. president obama a little while ago said all options are on the table and the white house ruled out putting boots on the the ground. and the administration is concerned over the escalating situation for the past few months. peter brooks is a former fellow

of the defense and a former ciaa operative. peter after all of the american blood spilled and wounded warriors and islamic terrorist are capturing city after city, do you think that iraq will be lost? >> it is a possibility, eric. they are already holding ground it appears to me. they hold ground in syria and don't have to take baghdad to do the bad things they plan on doing in that part of iraq and the world? the situation is a crisis and we are way behind the power curve. i am not sure ion fls concerned they did anything about it and there is not good choices to make the situation better not only for the states and region but the united states itself. >> they have poured aid in to iraq and report that the administration declined the request for air strikes on these

terrorist? >> well, look. the obama administration left three years ago and they didn't conclude a status of forces agreement or bilateral agreement with iraq and no training or intelligence and there was no advising. we just left and the problem is, hard- fought gains out of the surge that came at the cost of american blood and treasure in 2006 and 8 have been lost. and unfortunately, this is a cautionary tale for afghanistan. what is happening we are talking about getting out. arbitrary day for withdrawal in iraq and same thing in afghanistan. we'll see this movie in afghanistan in a few years. >> it is wassal- malaki. >> it lays at his feet because

of his inability to unify the country, and so a lat of it lays there, but we could have done more. there is people out there that say, you have to ask the obama administration that they were okay with the way things ended in iraq and they believed it would be okay. we are seeing where we are today three years later. not only a threat to regional ability and potential threat because of the isis. to undertake terrorist attack and the united states is in their cross hairs. >> will they create a new swath of islamic extremism. thank you. in the wake of a shocking political upset. we have the latest in capitol hill on. that and ever wonder what man's best friend is thinking?

a dog's vital information, including respiration, temperature and pulse rate. it then sends the information back wirelessly to the dog's vet. >> we can pick up earlier on things like osteoarthritis or potentially things that could cause pain in an animal, congestive heart failure. >> pet pace also monitors a dog's daily activity, including running, walking and lying still. >> i feel like we don't have to worry anymore. if she starts getting some signs that she's not feeling well, we'll know well in advance. >> knowing well in advance which she says will allow her to get beans any care she may need. that's it from here. back to you. >> beans looks like a pretty cool dog. >> you don't have to rely on that tail-wagging anymore. >> i like it. to doug, thank you. >> our dog talks to us all the time. let's take a live look at

a big headline coming in to fox news. bowe bergdahl, sergeant bowe bergdahl will return to the united states as of tonight. that's according to our producers over at the pentagon doing great reporting on this. bergdahl will arrive tonight at brook army medical center in texas. we don't have any other details whether or not he's had any contact with his family or whether or not his family will be there to meet him. and certainly a lot of questions still linger egg about this. ironic to get this announcement today after secretary hagel was on the hill yesterday answering tough questions from congressmen, jeff miller of florida asking secretary hagel why bergdahl hadn't been back to

the united states, pointing out some of our most traumatic injuries to our troops overseas, they immediately come back to the united states as soon as they're stabilized. secretary hagel took offense to that and said the inference was that this was political and that's why bergdahl was being held in germany. and the back and forth continued on that. in the meantime, multiple senior defense officials now say his arrival is expected some time after midnight tonight or early, early tomorrow morning. but the big headline is he's on his way home. that begins another whole stage of questions for what's ahead for bergdahl and also maybe some of the unknowns that we just don't have at this time. >> don't know if he's talked to his parents. they call it the reintegration process, the top psychologist and medical professionals will be attending to him after he arrives there later on tonight. >> more breaking news ahead on fox news. thanks for making time for us. >> "the real story" with gretchen carlson who's in los

angeles starts now. thanks, guys. we start with a fox news alert because fox news just now confirming that sergeant bowe bergdahl will be returning to texas. that's going to happen tonight. hi, everyone. i'm gretchen carlson. welcome to "the real story" today live from los angeles. he's going to leave a military hospital where he's been recuperating in germany for some time now. jennifer griffin live for us at the pentagon. what have you learned? >> what we know from multiple senior u.s. defense officials is that sergeant bowe bergdahl will be flown back to the u.s. tonight. he will be arriving, we're told, some time after midnight in the early hours of tomorrow morning. he will be taken straight to san antonio to the brook army medical center. we do not expect to see him on his way into the hospital. in fact, we've been told by multiple officials that they will not give
