9:00 am
us@mediabuzz@fox news.com. we want to hear what you think about the trump interview and everything else on the program. back here next sunday 11:00 and 5:00 eastern. see you then with the latest buzz. the fox news alert. the voters in greece have spoken as the polls are now closing on that crucial referendum. at stake, whether or not to default on debt and thrust the economy into unchartered territory. hello, everyone and welcome to america's news headquarters. i'm arthel neville. >> a big day in greece. i'm gregg jarrett in for sean. the big question for voters whether to accept more austerity in exchange for bailout loans. here's a break down of the possible outcomes. a no vote could mean no spending cuts. default on debt and possibly leave the eurozone as well as the euro. greece's political leaders are pushing for a no vote but a yes
9:01 am
vote would accept austerity, pay back loans, stay in the eurozone and keep the euro but it could mean a new election for new leaders. again, these are just the possible outcomes. greg palkott is live in athens with the very latest on this critical vote. greg? >> reporter: greg this is being described as the most important vote in modern greek history, the referendum on the european union, and we're already getting our very first indication of how it could turn out. one greet tv channel is project ing that is an early exit survey that in fact the no vote that is against deep cooperation with the european union, that yes will lose. again, one station. we must couch it. these early surveys can be wrong, have been wrong in the past. at the very least it is a tight race. we were out today, and we saw what officials are saying.
9:02 am
what officials are saying is that the turnout is very heavy, that people here in athens act like their country is on the line. it certainly is. again, the polls running up to this have shown that it is too close to call and we could hear passionate people on both sides of this question. take a look at what we saw and take a look at what we heard. >> we're in an athens classroom turned polling station where greek adults are trying to teach their government how to run the country, more importantly whether greece stays in or out of the european union and mark the ballots yes or no and bring them over to the ballot box there. they wait and then they hope for the future of this country, for themselves for their children. >> very important day and said yes. >> i want to be no. >> why? >> because i don't want austerity anymore. >> why did you vote yes? >> because i want my country to stay in europe with dignity, because that's dignity.
9:03 am
>> today work tomorrow go out. >> that's why you vote no today? >> yes, yes. >> as we look at greek prime minister alexis tsipras voting early, we're getting more indications of how this vote is going. it was his idea and the early estimations, boy, i've got to underscore, that we are not standing by that but we do have to tell you what several popular commercial tv networks are saying and they are saying that the no vote the no vote against european union deep cooperation, no vote against austerity, the no vote defying brussels will win this thing. again, just an estimate. let's put this into context. we are watching these surveys as the lines continue to fill outside of atms. the banks have been closed for eight days. people can't get cash out of their accounts. they can only get a certain amount of money. there is a lot of anxiety right
9:04 am
now, and a lot of anxiety about the future. and one more thing, gregg, there is anxiety about possible violence violence on the streets no matter what side wins. we have seen police out in big numbers, and, again, one more time. we're looking at -- i'm looking at the numbers, as i'm speaking to you, gregg, and i want to be very clear what i'm seeing. one, two, three, four different channels are pr calling it an estimate and i'm going to call it an estimate not real numbers, all four channels are saying that the no vote against pure cooperation with the european union, against austerity has won. if that proves out to be the case this could be a very serious situation. the european union already has been saying that if the no vote wins greece might have to drop out of the euro, the common currency. they could not deal with discoverment could not deal with the people who are running
9:05 am
these negotiations could have big, big ramifications. we of course will be tracking this minute by minute. back to you when we have more. >> yeah. they may have to turn to a new currency. there could be financial chaos, even worse than that which already exists. we'll check back with you. greg palkot live in athens as soon as you get the firm numbers on this critical vote. greg thanks very much. >> and we're going to get more on this now from ambassador john bolton a former u.s. ambassador to the u.n. senior fellow at the american enterprise institute and a fox news contributor. ambassador as we know it's very hard to call. greg palkot saying some. local media there predicting that it is a no vote so we start there. if the people of greece vote no it could very well mean no more euro. they go back to the drachma or maybe a newly named currency. if that happens, what might be the domino effect on the euro and perhaps the world economy? >> well i don't think there would be much effect on the euro
9:06 am
itself because of the length of time that the greek crisis has gone on. other european countries, other european private banks and financial institutions have taken a lot of their money out of greece. their exposure is not that high. to me the real issue has always been political. if greece were to leave the euro this would be a huge seth back for the european project. it's something that they have been able to fathom themselves but it would end at least for greece the anam nominally of disjointed control over greece's economic policy where the greeks through their elections control their fiscal policy but monetary policy is set in brussels. this is the inherent problem with the euro. it's a currency without a country. >> by my point was you've got 19 nations euro zone would other nations possibly follow suit? >> well it's possible if other countries, again, became the target of speculation that their
9:07 am
ability to sustain the kind of debt load that they have is something that would leave them vulnerable. again, five years ago italy, portugal spain, even ireland were considered possibilities. today the european central bank thinks that's not going to happen but i think over the longer term those economies as well as very big economies like france's are going to have to face up to this disjunction because of the split between fiscal and monetary policy. there's a real crisis of democratic theory and if the greeks in fact vote no what they are saying is they want full control over both fiscal and monetary policy basically the right to continue to make mistakes if that's what they choose >> you know i'm saying -- i want to know if you thigh the euro is good for the dollar and the american economy or in the long run, of course after the chaos and the dust settles, would it be better if some of the nations went back to their individual national currencies?
9:08 am
>> well i think they should. if i were in greece would i have voted no today. i think there's an inherent problem in the euro indeed and the european indeed. it has made europe less than the sum of its parts politically, militarily around the world, and i just don't think that the euro can continue indefinitely in its present form. either have you to move to political unions so that there's democratic accountability for both monetary policy and fiscal policy or you've got to go in the other direction. right now technocrats are running monetary policy for the eurozone and that's the conflict they have hadded with the government in greece. >> you know with the $350 billion credit card debt, i mean regardless of the outcome, ambassador greece needs to make some major adjustments, correct? >> absolutely. it's going to be a very hard time for greece. i think this is also a vulnerable point for the west. i think russia would like to do nothing better than to fish in
9:09 am
troubled waters try to split greece a little bit away from the rest of europe perhaps even from nato, not going to happen but i'm sure they would like to do it. remember china has huge foreign exchange reserves. they might be in a position to come to greece's aid so this is a very very difficult time. i think the european union leaders have been short sighted on this and i think there could be a knock-on effect as the voters of the united kingdom look in the next year or so whether they will stay in the european union at all >> you address all. questions that remain as a result of what may or may not happen there in greece. ambassador john bolton thank you very much. >> thank you, arthel. >> i want to let our viewers know that early results are expected later this afternoon, so stick with fox news and fox business for the latest on the greek vote and breaking news throughout the day. >> the u.s. responding to the
9:10 am
fourth of july terror threats by unleashing a series of intense rapid-fire air strikes targeting the so-called isis capital of raqqa in syria. more now from our middle east newsroom. >> reporter: there's no coincidence that u.s. jets pounded the city of raqqa according to pentagon officials. this was in response to the growing terror threat leading up to the fourth of july weekend and u.s. jets unleashed probably the most sustained barrage of air strikes against isis really in a while. 16 in total starting late saturday continuing early sunday morning. u.s. officials say they were targeting militants' transit routes and equipment. there were at least ten people killed including civilians and fighters and several bridges were also destroyed. now, none of this can be independently verified despite the claims. now, despite this weekend's big show of force by the american-led coalition, the u.s.
9:11 am
has had really its best moderate success with air strikes against isis since they began last summer. when they have been paired with al allied ground troops perhaps the best example peshmerga forces on the ground. they have been pretty successful in isis removing them and dislodging them from territory in syria and when there's just been air strikes and no ground component on the ground battling isis the air strikes have really accomplished little though the u.s. and coalition still continue to launch them. there is a real problem about how they are conducted because they just don't have partners on the ground. the u.s. of course trying to train up the syrian rebels. they are looking for moderate rebels but that's been hard to identify with the growing extremist groups presence in syria. of course over the weekend there weren't just air strikes in syria but also iraq so we're seeing the continued effort by the united states and its coalition partners to target isis both in iraq and syria,
9:12 am
gregg. whether or not they have having much in the way of success it's tough to tell because the history has been really sort of mixed unless they are with ground troops. they really just haven't had much in the way of real success there, gregg. >> all right, conor powel live in our middle east bureau conor, thanks. captured escapee david sweat is back inside a maximum security prison for the first time in nearly a month. the 35-year-old convicted killer was moved from albany medical center early this morning, taken to five points correctional facility in romulus, new york. he was receiving treatment after getting shot twice by a state trooper near the canadian border last sunday. his capture ending a weeks long manhunt after he escaped from the clinton correctional facility with murderer richard matt. matt of course was shot dead during the manhunt for the fugitives. >> it is a rematch four years in the making. the u.s. women's soccer team set
9:13 am
to face japan in the world cup final tonight. the team looking for redemption after falling to japan in a heartbreaker back in 2011. fans already gearing up for the big game and so is brian dennen lining up outside jackie dempsy dempsy's sports pub. >> reporter: they are heading on to cheer the women dressed up in red, white and blue and what better way to celebrate america's birthday than bringing home the third world cup title tonight. a rematch from the 2011 world cup when team usa lost painfully to jap after blowing two leads and losing the game on penalty kicks. the team says this isn't about revenge, just trying to finish the job but surely that loss is motivating. >> i can't be happy to be in
9:14 am
another final. it's achievement in itself. we still have to win and haven't won anything and we know what that feels like from four years ago, and it's not a good feeling >> the team also wants to learn for their veteran leader abby wambach, the 35-year-old all-star forward has 134 goals, leading men and women, and they really want to win for her because this is her fourth and last chance to win a world cup tight. she's not done so yet. team usa is favored to win tonight. they are the number two team in the world. japan is number four team in the world. team usa has beat colombia and china and number one ranked germany to get here and it's all thanks to that defense. goalie hope solo and that defense. they have not let up a goal in 513 minutes. that's over five matches. now, the team is hoping for the same kind of euphoria we all remember from 1999 when brandi chastain hit that game-winning
9:15 am
penalty kick in pasadena california in front of 90,000 plus and famously stripped off into her sports bra, an iconic moment and empowered and inspired a whole generation of soccer fans. hopefully tonight we can get the big wins. thousands mostly american fans expected to be at vancouver bc place for tonight's big game and millions more will be watching on the big fox tonight at 7:00. arthel. >> go team usa. thanks bryan. >> you can watch the game between the usa and japan happening on the big fox network tonight at 7:00 p.m. eastern time. check it out. >> i was inspired by that whole -- it wasn't just women. i thought it was a wonderful seminal moment. >> i was inspireded to do more ab work. >> big day for royal watchers, the prince and duchess of
9:16 am
cambridge arriving for the christening of princess charlotte inside the church where the royal family celebrates christmas every year and where princess diana was christened back in 1961. the event marking the public's second chance to get a glimpse of princess charlotte. queen elizabeth and prince charles and the whole family of the duchess are also there as well so good for them. great day >> i like that family a lot. >> yeah. they are terrific. >> i'm going to visit them soon. going to go to london. >> really? >> no. just making that up. gotcha. here we go. when we come back stay away. the message the press corps feels hillary clinton is sending them after roping them off at a fourth of july celebration. >> and a small plane carrying an stzing banner crash lands on a crowded beach. what caused it to go down?

>> the opportunities of the country, you know the countries has given us and the fact that we are an immigrant nation. we can bring in a lot of things when we're under a big tent. my family comes from ireland, and it's just nice to be a part of that mix. it takes a lot of work... to run this business. i'm on the move all day long... and sometimes, i just don't eat the way i should. so i drink boost to get the nutrition that i'm missing. boost complete nutritional drink has 26 essential vitamins and minerals including calcium and vitamin d to support strong bones and 10 grams of protein to help maintain muscle. all with a great taste. i don't plan on slowing down any time soon. stay strong. stay active with boost. now try new boost® compact and 100 calories.

presidential candidates speaking out this sunday suggesting changes to our judiciary branch from supreme court term limits to electing justices. all this amidst some controversy on the campaign trail. more now live from our washington bureau with more. >> reporter: well you know now that the fourth of july terror threat has come and gone the focus on the sunday shows shifted back to domestic issues and same-sex marriage. after that historic ruling from
9:21 am
the supreme court ted cruz is calling for a constitutional amendment that would subject supreme court justices to retention elections basically meaning the justices are no longer appointed for life. today two of cruz's competitors weighed in on his proposal. >> that's something for discussion. i mean let's say if we made is 16 years, even 20 years, i -- i don't have a specific arbitrary goal in mind. i just think that people whether they are in the executive branch legislative or judicial branch shouldn't see their appointment to an office as permanent. >> something we do in new jersey which i sympathy something folks can consider is we appoint our sdwrus tises for a seven-year term and after seven years the governor has the opportunity to again consider whether to nominate them for a lifetime tenure. i don't want to see judges raising money and running for election. >> the other issue dominating the field sim gracious and specifically donald trump's comments about mexican immigrants during his
9:22 am
announcement speech. yesterday jeb bush whose wife is mexican said he was personally offended by those comments and thinks he's hurt and not reflective of the republican party. now on the democratic side all the talk this weekend, it hasn't been about what a candidate said it's what a campaign about. the clinton campaign, look at this they literally roped off reporters to seep them from get together candidate and she talked with voters during a july 4th parade in new hampshire. the action has frustrated many in the press corps who have been trying to ask clinton questions for month. the rope line as you can see, clearly made it even more impossible to do so. arthel? >> kristin fisher thanks kristin. >> more now on the clinton campaign roping off journalists, like a scene from "rawhide." rowdy yates would never allow that. jamie weinstein join us senior editor for "the daily caller." you know in march hillary clinton famously promised a sort of rapprochement with the media. we knew back then it was
9:23 am
probably a head fake. here it is. here's that moment in march, take a listen. >> i am all about new beginnings a new grandchild another new hairstyle, a new e-mail account, why not a new relationship with the press? >> she went on to say no more secrecy with the media, no more zone of privacy with the media that's a quote. okay. so just kidding. is that what was going on? >> well i do as you mentioned, this is not new. it is taking to a whole different level to corral the press with kind of a rope but she's been basically doing that without a rope for the last several months. remember when she relaunched her campaign just several weeks ago? people asked are you going to give interviews to the press? and her team said her speech is
9:24 am
her interview. so you start to get the impression that she doesn't like the press all that much. >> maybe she won't answer questions because she doesn't have good answers? >> that's the -- that's the flip side of this. on one side the question is will this kind of quote, unquote post-press strategy work where she tries to deal with her constituents on the people she's trying to court as voters without using the press through social media but would it be worse if she actually engaged the press? there's so many questions out there about her e-mail servers and all those things that maybe if she engaged the press it would actually be even worse because she would have some of those, you know ungraceful press moments that she had during her book tour that might hurt her campaign even worse. >> and it's also what are you hiding from? listen the reporters are really miffed about this. here's a sampling. we'll put it up on the screen. "new york times" correspondent spectacle of clinton as candidate, press being pulled along with a rope. politico's reporter said never
9:25 am
underestimate @hillaryclinton's capacity to fritter away natural advantages with poor judgment. jamie, the media serves a valuable purpose and i know i'm biased as a member of the media. voters out there, they form their opinions based on -- often on what they read in the media and what they see on television so if suddenly the media were to turn hostile towards hillary clinton, one wonders how much that might damage her campaign. >> it won't be good and as you're seeing already, this strategy is already directed much of the mainstream media to direct scorn on senator clinton, the type of scorn that's usually only reserved for republican candidates so they are going to get angry with her and you won't see good stories written about her because she is just kind of avoiding the questions that's out there and rightfully so the media should be up in arms that she is not answering tough and difficult questions that people want answered.
9:26 am
frankly we're seeing it in her poll numbers. it's only going in to the sense that a lot of people in polls are showing they distrust senator clinton and it may be turning to an advantage of someone like bernie sanders who is a little more accessible. i'm a little bit not quite willing to say that because he's refused to give me an interview so far, but he is a little bit more accessible certainly than senator clinton. >> well you know you bring up a good point, the optics. you would think that somebody in -- on her campaign team would say, look secretary clinton, the optics of this is really really awful, i mean and just fuels the sentiment that you know you're all about secrets and privilege, especially compared to bernie sanders and these huge crowds he's been getting in new hampshire. he is the polar opposite. i mean he's all about transparency transparency. he'll meet with anyone anywhere except you, of course and answer questions, so i mean the optics of this are bad. >> well you know absolutely. but that only leads to the conclusion that you mentioned
9:27 am
earlier that her staff must believe it must be worse for her to actually have to sit down and regularly answer tough questions about her e-mail servers, about benghazi. they must feel that this reaction is while negative is better than what would happen if she actually had to be directed to answer tough questions. >> i don't think you can hide all the way to the november of 2016 but she may be setting a new standard. jamie jamie, always great to see you. thanks very much. >> thank you. >> a small plane crashes on a packed beach in southern california. a witness capturing the crash on video as the plane makes a hard landing and then flips over. take a look at that. an faa spokesman said the single-engine plane lost power causing it to hit the beach in carlsbad near san diego. the 23-year-old pilot not injured, but a 12-year-old boy was taken to the hospital with minor injuries. >> that could have been a whole lot worse. wow what. a scene. >> what a scene. >> okay. that is going to do it for us. we'll have the very latest on the results in the greek vote

their referendum yes or no or austerity. they could drop out of the eurozone. >> right now stay tuned for "sunday housecall." if you're suffering from constipation or irregularity powders may take days to work. for gentle overnight relief, try dulcolax laxative tablets. ducolax provides gentle overnight relief, unlike miralax that can take up to 3 days. dulcolax, designed for dependable relief.
