tv   Happening Now  FOX News  June 27, 2016 8:00am-9:01am PDT

8:00 am
with donald trump not doing so well with women you got to ask is this the team that could be formidable, we will see. eric: see you tomorrow. busy day with the supreme court decisions as well as the down down about 200 point past few days . martha: "happening now" start right now. jon: we begin with a fox news alert on new fallout from britain's bombshell vote to leave the european union with wall street falling triple digits for a second straight trading session following european markets lower as shocked investors and consumers scramble to figure out what happens next. heather: what should they do. jon: welcome to "happening now", i'm jon scott. heather: on heather childers. the stock market tumbling after friday's dramatic tree fall following that brexit vote. the board down about 1.9 percent going back and forth between that all morning long
8:01 am
but of course, this doesn't compare to the carnage that happened on friday but overall, this is what, down 900 point since friday john? jon: that's right. today is early, things could turn around, we will see and we will have more fallout, more on the political fallout here. first let's go to nicole penalty, live at the new york stock exchange. reporter: you're absolutely right, what we're seeing is selling upon selling. the dow fell 611 points. at the time we saw global selling in europe as well and globally, $2 trillion was lost. today, we are losing about half that, down 320 points and all 10 sectors of been to the downside and we've seen selling across the board so what happens next? right now everybody's waiting for this article 50 so britain can exit the european
8:02 am
union but that's not happening anytime in the immediate future so the volatility will continue. they will buy in the lows and self but with expected volatility, it's going to be a difficult ride. thanks will remain under pressure because they are susceptible to these rises and falls. we saw the banks in europe actually hauled, they were down 20 percent. you won't see ray type here in the state and there is going to be worried that recession in the uk and how that could trickle here. then, what if traders see buying opportunities today? they are recommending priceline and expedia and netflix because if you like them worthy used to be, now there are real buying opportunities and their rushing . the 10 year bond right now is 1.46 percent. the british currency, we watched the pond pound close late. it is now to its lowest level in 30 years at 31. going to the uk, that's great news. get more for your us dollar but in the meantime traders are treading very carefully,
8:03 am
they continue to trade. they're taking this in stride but if you're a little nervous about this type of markets, then you stay in the safety type of investments rather than trying to buy and play it all out but it's overall picture, a little cautionary tone, no doubt. they don't know what the job sector will be and when this procedure will begin. jon: i have some vacation time to use, i think britain sounds good. nicole penalty, new york stock exchange, thanks. joining us now, brett there, the anchor of special reports. were going to get to domestic politics in a bit but first, this exit thing really seems to havethe world rattled, why ? >> there's just a lot of volatility, a lot of questions and we don't know exactly how this is going to play out. most of the investors are saying take a deep breath because it could be a while before this thing on winds. there are other shoes to drop here.
8:04 am
what happens when scotland? what does the eu do next? how do other countries react to this? the actual process of great britain leaving the eu is one is going to take a long time so the volatility i think as a lot of people on edge and politically, i think it has an interesting message as well. for to cross upon us. jon: president obama want britain to leave european union. is there any sense of and i told you so coming from the lighthouse? now that the british have voted the way they did? >> i don't think so. i think the messages on about unity. you have the treasuries secretary jack lewis saying we need to build new partnerships and i think there are some people who look at this and said think there are opportunities to be had but there's still a lot of concern about what this means long-term. jon: there are brand-new numbers in the race to
8:05 am
replace president obama. washington post, abc news poll shows hillary clinton holding a double-digit lead over donald trump nationally. she leads 51 to 39 percent. wall street journal nbc news poll also put clinton in the lead but only by five points. when you factor in third-party candidates like the libertarian and green parties, clinton's lead essentially disappears. i know you're going to tell me it's awfully early to be relying on any polling right now but what trends are you seeing? >> holes are snapshots in time. they are a snapshot and it appears in the average of polls, the rcp average that clinton is roughly around six or seven points if you take all the holes and combine them and look at them that way so she has picked up some steam here and whether that is in reaction and fallout to orlando, these polls were taken before the brexit vote so we will see what that made use of the presidential race
8:06 am
afterwards but clearly, there is a little bit of a lead it seems for hillary clinton. now that is a caveat. these national polls, they are snapshots and really the important thing in the general election as you know are the swing states. probably eight states will make up the final decision about how this election breaks down's. jon: one thing that we talked about a lot is the on favorability ratings that both of these candidates have. skyhigh on favorability numbers. donald trump's somewhat worse than hers but that abc news washington post poll also finds that when it comes to the question of who is qualified to serve as president, 61 percent think hillary clinton is qualified, roughly 2/3 think donald trump is not. that has to be a source of great glee at the clinton campaign and a source of consternation for trump.
8:07 am
>> i think so. that's not a number that they like to see. trump is out of course tweeting that he thinks the abc washington post poll is viewed and that favors and oversample democrats. it did by 12 percent. but the important thing with holes is how it breaks down demographically and self identified parties less of a structure. i think if you look at polls overall, they got concern on this question and concern on the negative view overall for donald trump but those polls have been around like that for a while and in the republican race, no one thought he could break through with those kind of numbers . he's the last man standing. jon: we saw at the top of the hour elizabeth warren making an appearance with hillary clinton, some suggested that this could be the democratic ticket. i don't happen to be one of those things that hillary clinton would pick elizabeth warren but we will see. a lot of surprises have come around this time was does
8:08 am
warren's presence on the campaign trail, what does it do for hillary clinton? >> it helps her with the bernie sanders voters, helps her reach out to the progressive wing of the party. and it just advocates for those messaging points that bernie sanders has talked about effectively on the trail. i tend to agree with you but we will see. ntional wisdom isthat tim kane, a senator from virginia, former governor is probably leading the pack of bp choices on the democratic side . >> brett behr, we will see you tonight on special report, thank you very much. heather: great britain and european nations scrambling to confront a new reality as foreign ministers from the eu's six founding member states say that the uk should leave the european union as soon as possible. but one british prime
8:09 am
minister cameron says exit negotiations will not begin immediately as he tries to do it again, financial markets and the other 27 eu nations will alsomeet in brussels on tuesday .here's what the city of london chair is saying on moving forward. >> it is clear this is going to be a negotiation. and had all be achieved, that remains to be seen. clearly britain is not going to get everything it wants. but on the other hand, we've seen already the effect on european stock markets with the british decision to leave and we think it is in the interest of the whole european union, not just britain to have an arrangement that preserves as much as possible. heather: wall street editorial board member joins us now to talk more about that. let's talk about the stock market here in theunited states . it's down what, 1.7 percent right now, roughly 2 percent.
8:10 am
do you expect stocks to stay volatile? you expect them to fall even more? >> it's notable that we haven't had anything like a lean style of that here. it is normal you are going to have volatility after a momentous decision the one you just seen but heather, it's also very interesting that the stock market seems to be distinguishing highly indebted countries like greece, like italy and countries like britain which have a strong banking system, a lot of productive industries and a lot of advantages. a very different situation economically than the continent. >> economically go, what does it take here in the united states. >> britain is an exiting global economy. this decision isn't going to change britain's relationship with the united states. one question is, is this white house going to reach out to london and for instance say we support you, we will start trade negotiations with you. we embrace you, we want to
8:11 am
draw you closer to the largest markets in the world. that's something that president obama has not done yet. if anything, he was strongly on the remain side but sending that message that we support free trade and we want a close relationship with britain, i think would be very positive for markets, will see if he does that. heather: one thing that would be positive for american consumers, we were talking about earlier and jon scott mentioned it, you may have to have a little vacation time, had to great britain because travel is cheaper there right now. what other ways that american consumers benefit? >> american consumers benefit from a strong, stable britain. what britain has effectively done is say we're taking back our sovereignty and getting ourselves room to reform area what we don't know yet is whether or not the new leadership in britain is going to continue the reforms that the cameron government in place, big welfare reforms, corporate tax cuts. that's why britain has grown a lot better than the rest of the continent has read what
8:12 am
we're doing at the editorial pages going to look forward and say is britain going to seize this opportunity to grow? if they do, it's good for and good for the united states. heather: and what is a for the average investor in the united states? what should they buy for safety? >> you don't give investment advice on the editorial page but we know what makes economies productive, we know what makes them grow. it's certainly not a recipe we had under this administration and that we had an appointmentwith high taxes, lots of red tape . a big welfare state. what the british said is that doesn't work, we know it doesn't work. we want to grow faster but we'll see if they follow through. heather: we will see the impact on the political races going on here in the united states as well, we talk about that. thanks for joining us, appreciate your insights. have a great day. jon: police searching for a suspect after three people are found shot in a pennsylvania barn. the key information they are now seeking in this triple

8:18 am
traditionalist worker party and the golden state skinheads. counter protesters included sacramento anti-fascist groups and the mexico movement and an african-american group called the blackhawks. cops fired rubber pellets and spray balls at the anti-demonstrators who responded by throwing firecrackers at the cops and their horses so they could attack the skinheads area . >> they attacked us with all these weapons , same killed or not these, kill the fascists. these radical left-wingers that were coming us for a fistfight, yelling that what they were going to kill our members. they hit one of his arteries. reporter: nine men and one woman aged 18 to 19 years old were treated for stab, cuts, scrapes, no injuries were life-threatening as of this morning, police have made no arrests . jon: what a mess. thank you. heather: political fallout from the supreme court's biggest abortion decision in decades. as reaction pores and to the five three ruling and that's not the only big decision handed down by the highest
8:19 am
court in the land today. live with that story and a chilling scene in colorado after this deadly collision between a man and a train. the latest on the fatalities and exactlywhat happened area . >> the only thing i saw was a child's car seat headrest on the ground.'s. >> they were answering their phones and i started to worry. >>
8:20 am
8:21 am
8:22 am
jon: an investigation now underway into a deadly amtrak collision in colorado. according to police, a band did not stop for the train and was subsequently hit on its right side. five people including three
8:23 am
children died in that van. another child in the van was airlifted to the hospital with serious injuries. no one on the train carrying 286 passengers was injured. the cause of the collision still unclear but authorities do not believe alcohol or drugs were involved . heather: to a fox news alert on breaking news from the supreme court which just unanimously overturned the 2014 bribery conviction of former virginia governor bob mcdonnell. more on that in just a moment but also, the high court made its motion for an abortion ruling for nearly quarter of a century with judges striking down the texas law regulating abortion clinics in a 523 ruling. shannon bream is live at the supreme court with a very busy day but more on all of this. hi shannon. reporter: hundreds turned out today awaiting the decision on abortion but pro-choice, some of those demonstrations going on. choice here celebrating,
8:24 am
their win 5 to 3 at the supreme court. it did get heated at times, a lot of back-and-forth but that's what's to be expected for one of the hottest cases of the term red the majority said the restrictions texas had put in place, requiring abortion clinics to meet surgical standards and admitting privileges to hospitals within 30 miles, those were struck down. writing for the majority, here's what justice breyer said. the surgical center requirement like the admitting requirement provides few if any health benefits for women, poses a substantial obstacle to women seeking abortion and constitutes an undue requirement on their constitutional need to do so. those regulations are no good and i can't stand. justice thomas wrote on defense, another by justice alito. estes thomas who interestingly enough in the end of his dissent he cited to his late colleague antonin scalia who passed away in february and said regrettably, it's a concession of defeat and an acknowledgment where we passed the point where law
8:25 am
has any further application, essentially saying the majority twisted the law because he wanted to their interpretation of law because they wanted to stage the access to abortion and make it as easy as possible. he mentioned as well big win for virginia governor bob mcdonald of the court. a unanimous decision decision in his favor, tossing his conviction to the lower court dealing with fraud and corruption. the court said essentially his official actions is not enough of an exchange for a donation, a plane ride, a round of golf to constitute something illegal but it looks like he will probably have to stand trial again area for now, he will not go to jail. heather, back to you. heather: relief for him, for now anyway. thank you. jon: which major presidential candidate do you think is getting most of the bad press? hillary clinton or donald trump? we tell you which one is crying foul when our media panel gets into it ahead and
8:26 am
we are live on the ground in west virginia. deadly flooding leaving dozens dead there as cruise search for people who are still missing>> this is the worst i've ever seen . we had a flood i think in 2003 and it's nothing like this. >> when they told me that i had cancer,

8:29 am
8:30 am
jon: let's talk media now the 2016 presidential candidates from both parties perpetually under the spotlight of the media. but is the glare harsher for one of them? donald trump recently calling out the media for what he calls dishonest and unfair coverage of his campaign . as some outlets gloss over the embarrassing revelations in hillary clinton's email scandal including the fact that she did not turn over an email that might reveal why she set up that private server in the first place. let's talk about it with alan combs, host of the alan combs show, nationally syndicated by fox news radiotammy bruce is also with us, the radio talkshow host and a fox news contributor, welcome . so hillary clinton, first of all, sent an email to one of her eggs talking about why she didn't want that government email account but she didn't actually submit it to the government investigators.>> i guess she should go to jail.
8:31 am
[laughter] this is really not a story. the reason trump is getting all this coverage and the reason why the media complained about the media, that's what he does. you got major republicans, national security adviser saying he's going to vote for hillary clinton. you got henry paulson, treasury secretary of bush saying he's voting for hillary clinton. you've got a guy on the verge of brexit doing a commercial for his golf course. this is disruptive. that's why he's getting all this news and it's not always positive because if you report thefacts about him, it's not positive . jon: we got to have a camera on both places at once because tammy's reaction to all that is priceless. >> you don't have to say anything, that's okay. >> it's classic. you know hillary is in trouble when alan doesn't even bother making a transition. here's the reason why that mattered of course, because
8:32 am
it contradicts his point about why she wanted the private email server because it was out of convenience. it proved that she lied about this issue. my favorite was john dickerson at pbs saying susan, we got 20 seconds left. that's what they're going to allowed to have that conversation and that's where the media is. it thrives onnot only what they do say but what they don't say . >> you're going to have a hard time calling hillary clinton a liar in this campaign when it donald trump says hello, i think he says goodbye. he's a pathological liar. you can't even compare the level of lying of the two candidates be on let's talk about the morning shows where politics are the mainstay. neither abc nor nbc's sunday morning shows brought up the revelations in the clinton email investigation. here's how it played on cbs's face the nation, moderator john dickerson brings up with his panel at the very end, he posed thequestion to usa today's susan page, listen . >> we have 20 seconds left,
8:33 am
there was news on the email front with hillary clinton. didn't turn over an email that showed there were problems with her server. >> an important disclosure for two reasons, she was concerned, to get a different explanation about why she had a private email server. she was concerned about the personal being accessible. it wasn't a matter of convenience which is what she told the world and she didn't turn it over. she deleted this email apparently because it came to the aid she sent it to so it goes to those questions about honesty,trustworthiness, transparency . jon: let's read for viewers a portion of that email. it's an email exchange with her aid and it's about a government account, government suggested that she might want to get a government accountant hillary clinton writes, let's get separate address or device but i don't want any risk of the personal being accessible. horrible. >> it's weird that she lies.
8:34 am
>> if donald trump had done anything like this in his campaign: he be in jail. if she had hillary university, front page yesterday about all the other scans trump has run where he built people and went after people who had no money to try to get them to separate them from their money. if hillary clinton had done any one of those things, we'd be talking about it nonstop. you're trying to grasp at straws here about trying to protect her personal communication. this is the best we can do in terms of going after hillary clinton? >> the american people recognize fortunately it's not just legacy media. new media brings this up, people have a conversation on fox about this this is what we saw actually, this is where brexit matters.the british people rejected the nature of what the conversation was, beingcalled racist , not having fair coverage about the nature of why their decision but was being made and that's with the americanpeople are seen as well. most americans have broadcast media . we still have to make sure cable is more spread out but and this is where dickerson clearly indicated he knows
8:35 am
where it's important. he had to bring it up but only a teensy bit at the end so there couldn't be any major conversation with people who could elaborate on the problem so if this is the argument and we know hillary , every day we have an example of how she makes things up, jean misrepresents things she's lying. you could say maybe donald trump is also colorful in the way that presents. >> she's colorful but he'sa liar. >> were talking about how media chooses to cover them . they're hiding the nature of what hillary clinton is doing which confirms that they know ... >> let me get this straight, she's a big fat liar and he's colorful. >> if the media was covering hillary clinton properly we could have a decent conversation about it.a lot of people don't even know about email and what's happened. >>we've heard nothing about emails ever over the last two years . >> allen, you and i, all of
8:36 am
us here are news packs and we do read everything. the average american is not watching whatwere watching and they don't know it and this is what they want to accomplish . jon: isn't it a conflict when she says i wanted my own private email server for convenience, that's what tells the world and then in this email which she had deleted, she says i don't want the personal accessible. >> is it possible that both are true? >> but is in there also lying by omission. >> they're not mutually exclusive, they're not. >> but when you're talking about what they were willing to let on that email, here's a lie. the differenceis what you actually admit to, when you think you're speaking in private. no, no.she said something different to the public . >> if you want to go after hillary for life, we don't have enough time to go after donald trump read when paulson says he voted for hillary clinton. [overlapping conversation]
8:37 am
>> paulson oversaw the george w. bush economic collapse. of course he's voting for hillary clinton be on you guys have to take this to the green room, thanks very much. alan colmes, tammy bruce. do you think the mainstream media has covered the gop more than democrats in fighting. bernie sanders is fill out there. live chat up and running. go to foxnews.com/happeningnow and get your thoughts into the conversation. heather. heather: now to a fox news alert. two devastatingweather events destroying homes and lives. first to west virginia, millions bracing for more storms after floodwaters killed at least 23 people . while crews in california, they continue to battle the massive wildfire burning more than 43,000 acres as a residence in west virginia and california assess the damage to their homes and
8:38 am
their businesses. we have fox team coverage for you with meteorologist maria molina, standing by in the fox extreme weather center but we begin with garrett who joins us live from and then in west virginia. i understand this death toll has actually dropped, correct? reporter: it has and that's the small bit of good news we have amidst all this devastation is and it has been lowered from 25 to 23 and goes to get taken off the list come from one of the hardest hit areas in greenbrier county. this was one of thehardest hit areas , you see the homes floating down the river. they were caught on fire. you see there is a devastating scene.if two men were there camping and when the flood came, it swept away their truck just as they escape so when search and rescue teams came and found that truck, with everything still inside, they assumed they were dead, they just foundout those men are alive and are back home . not everyone was that lucky.
8:39 am
one of those individuals who is dead is barry sanders. he was in his home when this flooding picked up along the flash flooding, carried his own down the river with him inside. taking the car, all their belongings. we spoke to their white yesterday as she was walking up and down that street looking for their belongings, any pieces of memory to be able to hold on to him and after what that has been like and what it is she's going to be doing to move on. >> took in between those two houses under a bunch of stuff. i'm not going to cry. i won't. not in front of you. number i can't.
8:40 am
reporter: heartbreaking to hear her story, the story we are hearing from so many people. you see these cleanup efforts, very well underway. we have heavy machinery working its way through here through the day.sfs people can pick stuff up, they are putting away and look here. this is the downtown area. you can see the watermarks here along the window. take a look inside, everything was thrown about, this carpet covered in this pic must we have seen everywhere. folks today bracing for more heather . as you see the sky right now, it's getting dark outside, preparing for more rain for the afternoon. heather? >> i was in west virginia last week, beautiful country there. but our prayers them.thank you garrett kenny. jon: and while there is too much water in west virginia, there's not enough in california right now as crews battle the first time wildfire driven by high winds and hot and dry weather. urologist maria widener fox weather center with more. >> hello john and hello everybody at home.
8:41 am
tracking all kinds of weather events and two different extremes with extreme dry conditions across areas that really need the moisture, across the western us and more rain expected across places like west virginia where we had to deal with very significant and deadly flooding in the last couple of days and we actually have a cold front pushing eastward and will bring more rain to places like west virginia, across the eastern us so we could be looking at the potential for more flash flooding and it's not because we're expecting a tremendous amount of rainfall from the sprinkle system rushing through but it's because we had a lot of flooding and also because of the photography out there, you have, mountains, that can make flooding easier to occur though we do have a number of watches in effect and already a warning for flooding could be occurring shortly. you see the forecast again,
8:42 am
not expecting a tremendous amount of rainfall but that threat is elevated across parts of the mid-atlantic, other areas across virginia and even down to north carolina, could be picking up several inches of rain. out west where things have been very hot, you're talking more heat out there in places like california, nevada and arizona. many active wildfires have been in place out there into doing and the problem is we also have drought conditions continuing across parts of central and southern california again, that fire danger remains elevated across parts of the western us. jon: maria, thank you. heather: coming up, prosecutors deciding whether a parent can provide evidence in a murder trial. yes, that's right. i just said parents. it's all because of the phrase the bird has been repeating ever since the crime. why the victim's parents think body, right there, could be the prosecution's star witness. that's not a joke. plus, new numbers on how many americans will go out this july weekend. why this holiday could be a recordbreaker. >> bad america, you and me.

prosecution did call the parent as a witness in that case. as bad as the prosecutor was in that pretty gray trial, at least they didn't call a parent to testify. on more serious note, a defendant in a criminal trial, in a murder trial has the right to confront the witness that testifying against them.in this case, it's the wife.she has a right to confront the witnesses so how in the world are you going to be able to cross-examine this parents? fred is the best trial lawyer in the country but i don't know how even he could pull this off. heather: what do you think? >> let me start by saying i think it would be a mistake for the prosecution to use this parents because i think it would create an issue where you don't need it. that's a serious part. it's not like this is some famous birdlike to the bird or daffy duck or my personal favorite, foghorn leghorn whose credibility is above reproach. this parent is actually not testifying. the point really is is

8:50 am
i know it's stuck there a little bit. the way his cave was positioned, he had a front row view. heather: on about her testimony? >> she's not an expert, i'm talking about a real expert in parents and if you want to see a criminal defense lawyer, one of the best in the country, if you want to see their head explode, give them an opportunity to tell the jury about how this guy's ex-wife as a parent and she could get parent to say whatever she wants. talk about change of custody, that it happening. heather: brian t, do you agree? >> the problem here heather is it hearsay. you cannot take the words of the parents and use that trial. it hearsay and another thing, how can you ask the parents where were you sitting in the cage when you saw this? what's the name of the person who said this? >> they allegedly found suicide notes as well.
