tv   Happening Now  FOX News  July 4, 2016 8:00am-9:01am PDT

8:00 am
available only inrestaurants but now they are at shoprite so pat, thanks for being here, we appreciate it . this is wonderful. martha: "happening now" about to start, it's getting ready, heather and leyland. eric: happy fourth of july. martha: happy fourth of july. heather: that is so not fair. where are the burgers? leland: i'm hungry, i don't know about you. heather: maybe they'll deliver. happy fourth of july. i'm heather childers the one nice to be with you as at home, i'm leyland vineyard. john and jenna are off today, barbecuing and hillary clinton is trying to turn things around after a very rough week that's put her trust issues squarely in the spotlight just weeks before the democratic convention. first she dealt with the fallout from the benghazi
8:01 am
report and then over her presidents private meeting with attorney general loretta lynch as she wrapped up a meeting with the fbi about her email system over the weekend . >> were you given that indication today that no charges will be filed and are you confident no charges will be filed? >> i am not going to comment on the process. i have no knowledge of any timeline. this is entirely up to the department. heather: meanwhile, donald trump firing off on twitter himself, including this quote. crooked hillary clinton knew that her husband wanted to meet with the us ag to work out a deal.the system is totally rigged and corrupt. joining us now, susan crabtree, white house correspondent at the washington examiner, thank you for joining us this independence day.
8:02 am
>> thanks for having me. heather: let's take a look at these numbers. we have the latest fox news poll we can bring up for people and it shows clinton's honest and trustworthy numbers are at a record low, look at that. just 30 percent say that she's honest and trustworthy compared to 66 percent who say no way, she's not so how can she turn those numbers around? >> this is really a pivotal time for her. she needs to find a way to humanize herself. we don't need to see hillary clinton as usual right now. she's supposed to be going out tomorrow on the campaign trail with president obama for the first time, it was put off because of the orlando attack but we don't want to see scripted performance. you don't want to see a teleprompter speech. this might be time for hillary clinton to do an opus style interview, talk about herlife and challenges. when she talked about how historic or presidency would be, that's when she's on the ground. when it goes to the trust deficit this past week, it was horrible for her . heather: president obama will be campaigning with her along with joe biden.
8:03 am
she did do a sit down and she has admitted that honesty, trustworthiness is an issue for her but she may blame on people that continue to bring up the scandals as if they are just creating them, listen to what she had to say about it . >> i personally know i have work to do on this front . a lot of people tell pollsters they don't trust me and i don't like hearing that and i thought a lot about what's behind it. and you know, you hear 25 years of wild accusations, anyone would start to wonder and it certainly is true, i've made mistakes. i don't know anyone who hasn't. heather: a couple things there. wild accusations and 25 years, admitting herself she's been in politics for a quarter of a century. what more can she do if she hasn't already established
8:04 am
herself which she has not as an honest and trustworthy candidate so far, especially when you have that list of investigations and incidents that are still going on that leyland went through at the top of the segment. >> this is not just a vast right-wing conspiracy. this is a person who actually lied to prosecutors and that was in the travel gate scandal, her husband was not found guilty of anything in that scandal that she was found to have lied to prosecutors so these are just made up scandals but that being said, the only thing she can do right before the convention that might make a change, usually vice presidential picks don't have much of an impact. you think dan quayle with george bush senior but in her case, she needs to find someone who's unimpeachable in terms of ethics, someone like xavier becerra was the chairman of the house democratic caucus or share brown, also a good family man, a popular man in the state of ohio this can help turn things around, so that she has a different side .
8:05 am
heather: i'm sorry to cut you off but we are running out of time and i did want to get your response to this as well, how donald trump could actually capitalize on the low numbers. >> he pretty much sees this as a gift, this lynch meeting with bill clinton which is a gift served up on a silver platter for donald trump. no matter whether she's indicted or not, if she's indicted which is what the news has said in the past week which she is most likely not to be indicted which is what i thought would happen all along, donald trump, that is going to make his supporters go crazy. it's going to say this is going to have a field day with this. petronius, david petronius, double standard and i have no doubt he will continue to hammer the crooked hillary label called. i really think he's already
8:06 am
doing it. you see it in his tweets. idon't expect them to change strategy anytime soon. heather: you definitely see it in his tweets. susan crabtree joining us on this independence day, thank you for coming in . >> my pleasure to be on the republican convention kicks off two weeks from today, meaning the clock is ticking for donald trump to choose a running mate . his meeting with mike pence this weekend, speculation is rampant. peter ducey live in washington, any mornings you can add to that list question mark. >> trump is going to meet with iowa senator joni herbst. yesterday he was with indiana governor pence and trump told us how that meeting with pence went. he tweeted that quote, spent time with indiana governor mike pence his family yesterday, very impressed, great people and the businessman and governor hung out at one of trump's clubs in new jersey and the pence perspective is justice sherry, he now says that quote, what i could tell you was that this was a very enjoyable, personal time between two families and we
8:07 am
got to know each other a lot better. nothing was offered, nothing was accepted. former trump campaign manager corey lewandowski is talking about what pence would bring to the ticket. >> when you look at governor pence, is the type of person that can help unite the party. as you mentioned, he has a number of years of washington dc experience, he was part of the leadership there. he's served as chief executive of a very important state, on state trump is going to need to win in order to be successful. >> there are conflicting reports about when the trump team plans to roll out running mate but if it's going to be pence, it would probably have to be before the conventi because he can't be on the november ballot as governor and vp in indiana so he would have to take his name out of the ring for reelection by the 15th of this month. trump is also now reacting to hillary clinton's claim that she didn't know her husband would meet privately with the attorney general loretta lynch, the presumptive
8:08 am
nominee tweeted out this, quote, only a fool would believe the meeting between bill clinton and the us ag was not arranged or that crooked hillary did not know. tomorrow, trump kicks off a swing through battleground states with a rally in north carolina. leyland? leland: peter live in washington, thanks. heather: switching gears, the death toll rising in that horrific bombing in baghdad, at least 149 people were killed when a truck packed with explosives blew up on a crowded street, and attack isis says they carried out. john following the latest on this from our mideast bureau with more. these pictures coming in, specifically the children, just horrible. reporter: it absolutely is and speaking of which, at this point as far as the death toll, you mentioned 149. now according to the ap and among the victims, children at least 25 children, at least because that death toll
8:09 am
heather continued to rise since the attack late saturday night in baghdad. let me walk you through. the attack happened in the busy shopping district of parada in central baghdad where iraqi officials say a truck loaded with explosives rammed into a building with a shopping center and restaurants and cafcs inside. the blast was so intense that bodies were basically incinerated and now require dna testing and that said, bodies are still being pulled from the rubble, getting a solid, hard number, making it difficult to get a solid number. that's why the death toll at this point is so fluid and not only were the victims children but we are hearing entire families were wiped out. others, mothers, children as well and this was the deadliest attack not only in the last year but one of the single worst bombings in baghdad and iraq since 2007. as we know, isis has claimed
8:10 am
responsibility. why this particular area is mostly shiite district, there is a high christian population as well.isis has been attacking shiite locations in and around baghdad area and not only that, this is a busy shopping area and people were doing their shopping last weekend during ramadan before the feast? end of ramadan this week so again, it was packed with people, very high and valuable target and an appealing target for isis and the fear now is that not only is this the end many more or two, erie it back to you. heather: john hardy life for us, thank you. leland: one of the attack that has happened during ramadan, a nightmare attack inside of bangladesh cafc and these rising fears of attacks at home, troubling new questions about the reach of isis despite big gains against the terror group inside rack. we talked to former homeland security adviser ethan how
8:11 am
with attacks inside the us july 4. major league baseball bringing the sport to the troops by building a custom stadium all from scratch. speaking of july 4, it is america's 240th birthday, time to celebrate with cool glasses down in nashville. reporter: we are having too much fun downtown in nashville for 4 july. we're here because citizens love nashville but they have the best fireworks show in the entire country and i'm talking to the man behind what makes this showso amazing so you're not going to want to miss this in just a few minutes .

heather: welcome back, major league baseball with a special salute to the military on this fourth of july. the atlanta braves hosting the miami marlins in a special for the troops game in fort bragg, north carolina. the first time a regular-season major league game has been played an active military installation. crews arrived days before the game to turn a golf course into a ballpark complete with seating for 12,000 base personnel and their families area the marlins by the way on the game. one braves fan stationed at fort bragg says it was still an amazing experience. >> i went to fulton county stadium before they tore that down. i went to turner field back when i was in high school and for them to come out here, not only to build this but to come out and play and interact with us as soldiers, it does not get any better than this. heather: major league

8:20 am
he says i think he's in bad trouble. we were in terms of personality entirely different but in that one moment on that morning of 13 june, 1969, i realized as i held him in my arms that mike and i shared a bond in both life and death that no one will ever understand who has lived in. >> share your pride on facebook, twitter and instagram, hashtag proud americans . before those little pieces would get in between my dentures and my gum and it was uncomfortable. even well fitting dentures let in food particles. just a few dabs of super poligrip free is clinically proven to seal out more food particles so you're more comfortable and confident while you eat. so it's not about keeping my dentures in, it's about keeping the food particles out. try super poligrip free.

8:25 am
we hear about isis losing ground in iraq and syria, it was about 22 percent of its territory in the past 15 months but they are moving beyond. >> let's take a look at the attacks in france last year in 2015, then into brussels, then everything from san bernardino to orlando. you see there trying to expand. now they get audacious and they go into turkey and decided it is airport and now in the middleof the night , in the middle of a very busy evening they go into a very foreign based facility. at the restaurant, a lot of foreigners are there and they go after folks who are not muslim in a veryhigh-profile way and of what's fascinating about this is who's doing these type of attacks, it's individuals would appear to

8:27 am
they use weapons, firearms . heather: taking hostages and putting the pictures out there on social media so they can get even more coverage, how do we fight this westmark how do you fight against people that are willing to die? >> it's really very hard if you pick a random, soft targets , it could be anywhere. very difficult and what it really comes down to is this whole thing was dead so many times and people tend to say i've heard enough about this but that see something, say something. the public has arole here, it really does to pay attention to what's going on around us. we shouldn't be paranoid, we should just be engaged . tell security officials. heather: regardless of whether or not you feel it is the politically correct thing . >> let somebody else make the decision. heather: happy independence day to you. hopefully we will all stay safe today . we went? the one on this july 4 after five years and nearly 2

leland: welcome back this july 4. looking ahead to november in the all-important electoral college, 270 votes needed to win the white house. a lot of ice will focus on ohio and its 18 votes. all i'll will be a key swing state in this election, the real clear politics average of the polls in ohio show a tight race there. hillary clinton just over 44 percent, donald trump 41.8. let's bring in our panel. chris wilson, former campaign poster for ted cruz, capri, porto, democratic ohio state senator. nice to see you both here, happy fourth of july. capri, to you. undoubtedly hillary clinton has had a rough week. some would say that might be generous to say. how is thisplaying in ohio, clearly a battleground ? >> it depends on who you talk to.
8:33 am
democrats continue to defend hillary clinton and are looking forward to closure on the email issue. what's really down to where the swing voters are and frankly, this is such a unique election that even though hillary clinton has for example, for the democratic party, a strong democratic structure in the state of ohio, the great ground game and a ton of ads on tv, the question becomes how does donald trump appeal to the reagan democrats in november with his popular trade message? leland: speaking of his message, we have a message on just that point. >> i think were going to get a lot of the bernie sanders voters because one thing we had in common, not a lot but he knew that trade dealers were terrible .
8:34 am
i know that trade dealsare terrible. the difference is, i can fix the trade deals and make them phenomenal. leland: do you think that plays with those he ohio swing voters? >> it does to a certain extent. i agree with most of what capri said but if you look back to turnout going back to 1960 with reagan democrats, i would say non-hispanic whites, working-class white , then down every year with one exception, 1992 and if you hold turnout steady among african americans, among hispanics and assume that trump's message can have the same level of motivation with those non-hispanic whites, it would amount for another 8.8 million votes that would occur that did not occur in 2012 . that's three states where that would matter and one of those happens to be ohio. leland: you're going back to 1992, that was an inherently unusual election because you had ross perot in there. where does frank go in, chris? is he the ross perot candidate? is he the bill clinton turnout candidate? >> the similarity between trump and perrault is where you got this ideological
8:35 am
defying billionaire who is taking on trade and saying i'm going to make america great again and that's the similarities between the two, that's where they start and end but ifhe's able to activate 75 percent of those non-hispanic whites that did not turn out in 2012 , that could give him victory in ohio. >> that's what we saw in the primary. eastern ohio which is what i represent in the ohio senate, we saw a trump victory basically from the lake to the river in coal country and steel country, specifically for this reason and we saw democrats cross over into the republican primary. one quick thing about turnout: one thing i think people are not recognizing is the traditional turnout model, if you are looking to say x, y or z is going to the polls, i don't think it's necessarily as indicative as it has been in the past because we will see people that go to the polls and get
8:36 am
the presidents, both democrats and republicans and vote senate down the line so just because you are looking at who showed up to the polls, i think the exit polls are actually going to be more important than seeing who shows up in raw numbers. >> worth pointing out chris, i'm going to give you the last word, let's take you back to 1992 with bill clinton who won the state of. he did but if you add bushes boat and perrault's boat, it exceeds bill clinton's boat and that's the thing trump has to do. it is not to capri!, 100 percent certain that those voters that voted for mitt romney will vote for donald trump but he's got to run the gauntlet. he's got to run the romney voters and get them to turnout may have been there since and that's a very difficult road to hold but again it's why it's a two point race today but again, it also makes sense that the exit polls and seeing who does vote, who cast the vote in the presidential election. ...
8:37 am
leland: we could just have the resultant put this all to bed. >> that's not as much fun. leland: now we can talkabout it and we will also see if mike pence, if he becomes trump's running mate . >> that's not going to be a thing in ohio. leland: capri, chris, thank you guys. heather? heather: speaking of that, right now we are awaiting a briefing from nasa as juno's spacecraft gets ready to orbit jupiter for its closest encounter yet with the solar system's biggest planet. claudia callan is following that story from our los angeles bureau and she has more on that. >> it really is heather and right now juno is streaking toward jupiter at 200 times the speed of sound and there is no room for any kind of a mistake here. the spacecraft has one chance to slip into jupiter's orbit on a research mission designed to give scientists more information about how this planet came to be. later tonight at about 11:15 eastern time, juno will fire
8:38 am
its rocketengine to slow down and once in orbit, it will spend the next 20 months helping scientists learn more about how jupiter formed . >> if indeed this was the first planet made, we are going to find outwhat that initial material was and how this planet came into being . >> this is the last part of juno's five-year, 1.7 billion mile journey. it had to use earth's gravity to slingshot around mars and make its way out to jupiter. scientists at the jet propulsion laboratory that he will be working late waiting to hear beeps indicating that radio signals are being transmitted andthat juno has achieved orbit . >> the rocket motor has to burn at just the right time in the right direction, at the right moment for the right amount of time for us to get into orbit and if that doesn't all go just right, we fly past jupiter. >> juno will.
8:39 am
to jupiter's atmosphere and send back images of its pole, clouds and spectacular auroras and is an interactive mission. the public can vote on where to point the crafts camera, the so-called juno cam with color pictures coming later this summer and get this: three little legos depicting galileo and jupiter's wife are hitching a ride. the images are intended to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers but it is a one-way trip once its long mission is over. juno will burn up in jupiter's atmosphere to avoid adding on of the planets many moons so it's a fascinating research mission but you've got to love those legos. heather: it's going to burn up, right? >> oh well. leland: about it mission. heather: really interesting. leland: everybody getting ready for fireworks and barbecue this weekend but
8:40 am
what is the true significance of the fourth of july? of course, to celebrate our independence our next guest will break it down but first fox news salutes our medal of honor recipients . >> we just made the decision and went in there and tried to get them out. don't leave anyone behind and there was no time that i ever thought they would all be dead when i got in there but it's just how it happens. i didn't think i was going to come out of there alive, i knew what i was going to die. it's a great honor getting medal of honor. not for me, is for those guys, the marine corps, guys were serving and the marines that will serve . ♪

8:45 am
a presidential historian and the author of the president's first year thank you so much for joining us and happy independence day to you. >> same to you, thank you . heather: tell us what you think is the most unusual thing we would not know. it has something todo, i think, with presidential deaths . >> that's the fact that on our 50th anniversary of the declaration of independence, both president john adams and president thomas jefferson died on the same day, july 4, 1826. that's a fairly well-known fact but it was considered providential when it happened , the fact that they both died on that particular day. heather: so july 4th also though marks the birth of a president . >> yes, that was calvin coolidge in 1872. heather: and the primary author of the declaration of
8:46 am
independence, thomas jefferson, he relied on someone else. >> he relied heavily on john locke, also on montague and russo. when you read the words life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, john locke wrote life, liberty and property. some said it was plagiarism, thomas jefferson himself said it wasn't anything original, he was taking a compilation of ideas that have come out of the age of enlightenment. heather: that's all right then. and the star-spangled banner, how did that come about? >> that's one of my favorites because what was going on is thomas jefferson was a francophile and his successor who had been his secretary of state was james madison who was also a francophile and they were supporters of france during the napoleonic wars. it turned out they were supporting the losing side and in 1812, napoleon invaded russia and was soundly defeated but at that same time when he invaded russia
