12:00 pm
goodness on a day like today. we love that story and maybe it will retire you to reach out to others round you as well. now we'll continue on with the news. jon scott is in today for shepard smith. >> moments a. from donald trump speaking at a town hall event in ohio. what could be the biggest swing state in this election. we'll see what trump has to say. probably heard hillary clinton got a bump in the polls after her convention. where do things stand with independents? the voters who could decide the race. an intense new phase in the war on isis. american bombs falling over libya. plus, a chilling mystery threatening the nypd, an unidentified voice stalking the police radio and promising deadly revenge on the officer who put him in jail. that's all ahead this hour.
12:01 pm
i'm jon scott in for shepard smith. we begin with a fox urgent. trump is kicking off a up to hall event at this hour. a live look from columbus, ohio, where the republican nominee is set to answer questions from voters. we'll bring it to you live. trump is coming off a rough weekend as he took another hit today. a new poll from cbs news shows hillary clinton got a bump after the democratic convention. she is now leading trump 46 to 39%. trump's got a smaller bounce in same poll the week before the week after the run convention. ed had the two candidates tied. trump slam clinton yesterday, he said she is weak and has a bad temperment while he has, quote, one of the great temperments, and listen to what donald trump said about ukraine and russian president vladimir putin. >> he's not going into ukraine. just so you understand. you can mark it town, put it down, you can -- >> he's already there, isn't he?
12:02 pm
>> well in a certain way, but i'm not there yet. frankly that whole part of the world is a mess under obama. >> trump tweeted today, quote, when i said that put put is not going into ukraine, you can mark it down, i'm saying if i am president, already in crimea. in that interview, donald trump also said the nfl sent him a letter complaining the two presidential debates are set to air at the same time as its football games. a spokesperson for the league responded on twitter, quote, while we'd obviously wish the debate commission could fine another night we did not send a letter to mr. trump. john roberts is live in mechanic'sesburg, pennsylvania. trump is hitting some key battle ground states. >> reporter: he is in ohio this your, columbus, big good atleground state. two polls in ohio show the race is a dead hereto. the average shows that hillary clinton has a little bit of an advantage.
12:03 pm
here in pennsylvania, where he will appear in men -- mechanic mechanicsburg. a little more work to do hillary clinton is up four points and pennsylvania has not voted for a republican since 1988. so, donald trump does want to turn this state from the way it was, since 1988. ohio, from the way it was in 2012 and add in florida. that could be his path to victory. what he is going to do today is talk a lot about the economy. hillary clinton just went through the states a. while ago. donald trump wants to compare and contrast his plan for the economy with what the obama administration and hillary clinton when she was in the obama administration were doing in terms of jobs -- >> it appears we have lost our connection to john roberts. he is in ohio, and just to note, the weather there is bad. sometimes the satellites have a little trouble punching how to the severe downpours that can occur. we'll take you back to ohio, when donald trump takes to the
12:04 pm
microphones there. he is having a town hall meeting. we'll get you there when it begins. tam where bruise is a political columnist for the "washington times" and a fox muskrattor. you saul the news coverage over the weekend. both of these candidates got caught up in some stretches, shall we say, or at least some controversial statements. the media seemed to be piling on donald trump. why? >> we'll see that from now until election day and then through the first four years of his presidency, they'll pile on. i think this is what is interesting when you have a candidate like hillary who doesn't have press conferences and doesn't speak generally, and mr. trump, who has many. i think, though, when you're talk about especially his comments about russia, this is interesting because the next president, who i think will be mr. trump, is going to have to clean up what is clearly an emerging new cold war, and this is something i think that he wants to stop. don't think any of us want a new cold war. and in order to do that you have to engage, and this is what he is saying. he made it clear when he is
12:05 pm
president, things will be different. we learn last year that obama's administration told crimea to stand down when russia was moving in. so that's already been given away. we have a disaster because of the obama-hillary theory about how to approach this. so the next president does have to address it and i believe he is trying to do that. >> the story, the obama administration decided if crimea put up a big fuss it could potentially -- well, anger vladimir putin and things might be even worse. >> the theory was that if you play indicate -- placate a tyrant, he'll do less. what we found with mr. putin he'll keep poking and prodding and move further along. this is why we have the problem now. it has nothing to do with what mr. trump is signature and everything to with what hillary and obama have didn't doing. >> then the question about the presidential debate. two of the three presidential debates are on the night of nfl
12:06 pm
football games. trump is now saying i didn't exactly get a letter from the nfl. i was made aware of the nfl's concerns. who scheduled debates on sunday and monday night? >> the commission for the presidential dedates bills itself as nonpartisan. they're actually bipartisan. it's a series of individuals associated with the establishment. republicans and democrats who have an investment in the status quo. the two men who are the co-chairs, one with the rnc, one was bill clinton's press secretary, are now both lobbyists. the lobbyist framework of the interests of everyone on the board is extensive, it's exclusively an investment in the establishment. now, for the establish and the mood of the country we have now, sunlight is not their friend and this is a situation where the fewer people that hear someone like hillary clinton, who is the establishment candidate, does not do well when people hear her
12:07 pm
and lots of people hear her. mr. trump represents the reformation, and he benefits when more people hear hat he has to say. >> particularly -- donald trump is doing very well among blue collar white males. >> exactly. >> those are the guys who love to turn on their football game on a sunday night. >> americans in general love football. we love our sports. >> i do. >> this is a target, though. you're absolutely right. this is not just a happenstance. these states are going -- dates are going to have to change. mr. trump made that clear. it's importance for the american people to realize that the commission for presidential debates is not some kind of anonymous, nonpartisan, fair group dropped in from the plan net venus. they're people from the establishment and have hand interest in this and the american people are going to have to look at both parties, as are private clubs, the commission for debates is a private club to facilitate those interests and whether or not we want the situation to continue
12:08 pm
once this particular election is done. >> they have already said, we are not moving the debates. saying it's impossible to do it. >> of course, because somebody else is coming their ability. they can do whatever they want and they can change them. the american public should demand they do so. it's in all of our interests and democracy no matter who you stand for. if you're a supporter of hillary clinton of course you want people to hear her. it's not governor know democracy, not good for the volter and not good for the country. >> of course, prince charles was able to move his wedding to -- well, camilla parker-bowls because of the death of the pope. if you can do that something like that you should be able to move a presidential debate i- >> when william and kate were married they were going on a vacation right when we were going to strike bin laden. they changed their plans. everyone necessary the world realizes things can change and must change. and we should not buy the arguments that there's nothing people can do. that's i think we're going to
12:09 pm
prove that wrong and mr. trump is going to prove them wrong as well. >> interesting perspective. thank you. >> thank you, jon. >> just about anybody can get stuck in an elevator, even the billionaire republican nominee for president. rally at the university of colorado started late on friday after he and ten others became trapped in an elevator at a hotel. that's the word from the fire department in colorado springs. firefighters rescued them after half an hour. trump apparently had to climb up a ladder through the elevator's top hatch just to get out. hillary clinton knows a lot of voters do not trust her. that's what she told "fox news sunday" chris wallace in her first interview since the convention. and she said something that has the "washington post" fact checkers calling foul. more on that next.

live. >> hillary clinton says she has work to do to win voters' trust. she talked to "fox news sunday" for her first tv interview since becoming the democratic nominee. he told chris wallace she, quote, made a mistake for having a private e-mail server but disagreed with fbi director james comey said she -- >> the director said my answers were truthful and what i've said is consistent with what i have told the american people. there were decisions discussed and made to classify retroactively certain of the e-mails. >> a fact checker at the "washington post" gives her four pinocchios for the answer. writing that while comey did say there was no evidence she lied to the fbi, that's not the same as saying the told the truth to the american public. mike emanuale is in nebraska

12:24 pm
and talking to politicians about saving the plant that enriched uranium. there were hundreds of jobs there. and it's the only -- it was the only plant in the united states that enriched uranium. i also have the hotel -- holiday inn in the town, and then senator probe barack obama stayed at my hotel and he said i'm going to get up at 5:00 in the morning, and i need breakfast but you're not open yet. i said, all right. two things. you have to promise me something and you have to get your picture taken with me. so, i fixed him six eggs, six strips of bacon, a big pile of home fried potatoes, four whole wheat toast and a big bowl of oatmeal. asked him, how do you eat all of this? only meal i'll get today. she had his picture taken with me. lived up to that promise. i said we have this plant in piketon that we want to continue
12:25 pm
enriching uranium. lots of employees we need the government help and need the old site cleaned up. how do you feel about that project in pike ton? and man looked me in the eye and says, i support the piketop project. so, i want to thank donald trump -- i feel like he's the man that if he says, i'm going to do something, i'm going to do it. so let all support donald trump. evan, go ahead. >> the only thing i've got to say is when these politicians make promises, which has been promised to us, that somebody holds then accountable. that's it. [applause] >> thank you both very much.
12:26 pm
same old stuff, politicians. all talk, no action. won't happen. and hillary would be nothing more than four more years of obama. four more years of isis. four more years of military that is being depleted and not taking care of our vets. she said a few months ago our vets are being taken care of just fine. she said, no, no, it's overexaggerated. know the vets. i think i have tremendous support with the vets. raised a lot of money and gave a lot of money to the vets. i will tell you something, the vets are not being taken care of well at all. the suicide rate is hard to believe even when you hear the numbers, and you know the numbers i'm talking about. they wait in line for two, three, four, five days. think of going to a doctor and waiting for five days. longer than that. and people are dying waiting in line. so we'll take care of our vets. we're going to again secure and very important, we're going to secure our borders.
12:27 pm
we're going to secure our borders. [chanting] >> we'll build that wall. we're going to build the wall and mexico is going to pay for the wall, and the reason -- some of the politicians have said you know they're not going to pay for it. no, no you don't understand. they they're making so much money, mexico, they're taking our businesses. a friend of mine builds plants. the what he does, plants. if he had to build an apartment he wouldn't know where to begin but he builds macesive plants. ed said howl are you doing? he said, unbelievable. he is from this country and would like to do well in this country. said, how are you doing? he said unbelievable. said that's good. so you're doing a lot of work in the united states? not so much. i said how are you doing unbelievably? you wouldn't believe what is happening in mexico.
12:28 pm
it's the eighth wonder in the world. that's what he told me. i said what does that mean? he said they're building among the biggest plants we've ever built. it's unbelievable. companies are moving out of the united states, columbus, by the way. they're moving out of the united states, they're moving out of ohio. i asked him. they're moving out of michigan. big leagues, the cars. he builds car plants, he builds computer plants. builds them all. and they're moving out of the united states, i said how is the united states doing in she said not so good. but mexico is the eighth wonder of the world. that's going to end, folks. we want mexico to do fine. but we're not going to let them take or jobs anymore. we're not going to let it happen. you look at this area. i have statisticians, good statisticians. they love to do this. can't imagine doing it. being too much fun. to me it's a little boring to
12:29 pm
do. but i tell you the numbers are horrendous. first of all, i don't know if you just saw the numbers for growth for the country. did you see that? 1.2%. 1.2%. we're sinking. we're sinking. that one of the lowest numbers ever, i think the lowest number ever in terms of trying to make a comeback. 1.2%. but in columbus -- and i looked at this. this is bad. this is bad. ohio has lost one in three manufacturing jobs. since bill clinton signed nafta. bill clinton signed it. and hillary clinton wants it. think of that. hillary clinton's disastrous trade policies are responsible for the manufacturing job losses in ohio and throughout the other states of this country.
12:30 pm
>> donald trump kicking off a town hall meeting in ohio. columbus to be specific. we'll continue to monitor his remarks. if he makes news we'll get back there life. if you want to continue watching it is streaming for you on foxnews.com. the presidential candidates focusing on battleground states that could decide the election. trump in ohio, and pennsylvania today. hillary clinton just wrapped up a tour of those same two states. we'll look at how the fight for the rust belt is shaping up ahead on the fox news deck.
12:31 pm
blue the dog here for propane. you know, i'm just a humble dog. i didn't attend the elite boarding kennels, but i do know that nothing beats the freedom of living out here with propane, people can live where they want, and just as cozy as they want. whether it's a hot bath (no thank you), a warm bedroom, or a perfectly grilled steak. drop it, drop it, drop it proudly independent. proudly american. proudly propane

12:33 pm
officials say one person died during the firefight. new trouble for flint, michigan. nobody is picking up the trash. the city council voted to extend the contract with the current collection company but the mayor vetoed that, saying there's a cheaper option. until they work it out, people have to figure out what to do with their trash, this comps after the cities is still trying to teal with toxic lead in their water. >> divers take a plunge in kosovo. hundreds watched at 22 people competed. it ended in a tie. the news continues right after this. before taking his team to state for the first time...
12:34 pm
12:35 pm
gilman: go get it, marcus. go get it. ...coach gilman used his cash rewards credit card from bank of america to earn 1% cash back everywhere, every time. at places like the batting cages. ♪ [ crowd cheers ] 2% back at grocery stores and now at wholesale clubs. and 3% back on gas. which helped him give his players something extra. the cash rewards credit card from bank of america. more cash back for the things you buy most. >> seems independent voters split in their support for hillary clinton and donald trump. the latest cbs news poll has trump ahead 33% to 31% among independent independents. a statistical tie in third, the libertarian candidate, gary johnson, with 15%.
12:36 pm
with the conventions out of the way, both hillary clinton and donald trump making campaign stops in two key swing states. pennsylvania and ohio. the fox business network's blake berman is live in washington. so, tell us more about the trump campaign's plans. >> reporter: hi there. jon. there's certainly a focus on the rust belt today for donald trump. he is in columbus, ohio. then heads to mechanicsburg, pennsylvania two hours west of philly. in this part of the country, he hammers home how he feels trade deals have left american workers searching for new jobs and often brings us back to nafta, signed into law by then-president bill clinton. as hillary clinton was campaigning in region this weekend, trump continued with the theme, tweeting, quote, the rust belt was created by politicians like the clintons who allowed or jobs to be stolen by other countries like mexico.
12:37 pm
and trump just said, he feels -- or at least what he sees -- is manufacturing going from this country to mexico and just called it the eighth wonder of the world. >> how important is the rust belt to the clinton camp? >> reporter: have to see where clinton went immediately after her convention, ohio and pennsylvania. the first two stops for her. tim kaine was alongside her for a three-day bus tour as both of them crisscross the states. there they tried to portray trump as a businessman who has already pulled money off the table from the region. >> we're dealing with some somebody oh has a history of stiffing people, making things somewhere else besides america. and whenever possible, hiring foreign workers. >> reporter: it will be a battle throughout the rust belt. the polling averages show a dead heat in ohio. with clinton up four points for the moment in pennsylvania.
12:38 pm
>> thank you, blake. let's bring in paul singer, washington correspondent for "usa today." sew the conventions are over. the bumps are sized up. appears hillary got a bigger bump. any explanation? >> not really. i think hillary got a big are bump in part because the second convention attracted some attention because she had a very robust convention list of speaker with a very positive message. and now preparing for the summer, donald trump still has these controversies that lag him, even tweeting out about this -- the khan family. those kind of things drag his momentum down. >> i suppose katy perry didn't hurt either. which constituency is she trying to capture. donald trump seems to do best among blue collar white males.
12:39 pm
who she is going after. >> she'd like to do well in that group as well, but keep in mind that for her purposes she expects to do very well amongst african-americans, very well amongst latinos, and particularly focusing on getting sub-under -- suburban women, which have been swings in states like pennsylvania. if she can capture those she doesn't need to worry about getting the majority of the white working class males but you can see from the trips this week she is not giving up on that demographic either. >> that explains the trips both candidates are making to ohio and pennsylvania. >> right. and pennsylvania is an interesting challenge. there are more democrats registered in pennsylvania than republicans, four million democrats, three million republicans. but the growth in republican voter registration has been about double the growth in democratic registration in pennsylvania over the past year, which shows the momentum is towards the republicans. something they have to be concern about for hillary
12:40 pm
clinton. >> can you ascribe that to donald trump or is it just some kind of rebirth of the republican brand? >> it's partly the republican brand. it's not just the trade issues. these folks have had a lot of frustration with the epa, with clean air regulations, coal regulation and the effort -- the war on coal, as it's been called. a lot of issues in this industrial rust belt that the voters really do blame the government and the democrats particularly for their job loss. >> we started out by saying that hillary clinton got the bigger bump from her convention. but bumps ten to fade. so, let's look ahead a couple of weeks. what do you see happening as this campaign goes on? >> well, we're about to run into the olympics. traditionally the olympics have gone through august and then the conventions were afterwards, and so the convention bumps mattered because you're in september and right there in the election high swing season. i'm really curious to see what happens with the olympics taking center stage the next couple of
12:41 pm
weeks. keep in mind that the olympics drown out political coverage, except trump is good about break through the noise, better than hillary clinton is. we'll see if she can maintain a lead, over the next couple of weeks, through the olympics and come out september ahead of donald trump. >> you said there's an interesting nugget in google searches. >> the google search results during the convention indicated that the top search terms for hillary clinton did not include the word "indicted" which for the two months before the conventions was one of the five top searched things associated with hillary clinton. so, it means the convention worked in a sense of changing attention of the search interest party from just hillary clinton's legal problems to more hillary clinton's personal issues, like how tall is hillary clinton becomes a top search term. how old is hillary clinton.
12:42 pm
that's fine with the clintons. if people are looking for that information, that's fine. they'd much have them looking for that rather than is hillary clinton going to be indicted. for a week it worked. >> paul singer, thank you. "usa today." >> thank you for having me. >> the u.s. military has begun carrying out air strikes in libya, to stop the spread of isis terrorists. the word from the pentagon. it marks a new phase in the fight against the islamic state. a pentagon spokesman says the military today bombed an isis stronghold on the country's north coast. he says air strikes in libya will help prevent the terrorists from setting up a safe haven from which they can launch attacks on the united states and its allies. well, somebody shot down a russian helicopter in syria, killing all five people onboard. that from russia's defense ministry. the deadliest incident for the country's military since september when russia started airstrikes in syria in support of dictator bash shall al-assad. nobody has claimed responsibility for the attack.
12:43 pm
it happened in northwestern syria, near the border with turkey. analysts say it's a hot spot for terrorists, including a group with ties to al qaeda. russian official says the helicopter just dropped off humanitarian aid in aleppo. >> rushing flood waters in maryland coming without warning. washing away cars and tearing buildings to the ground. we're live in the hardest hit area with some amazing video coming up.
12:44 pm
12:45 pm
12:46 pm
pregnant women some not travel to a specific neighborhood in miami because mosquitoes there have been spreading the zika virus. that's the recommendation today from the centers for disease control. some other new recommendations from the agency. all pregnant women who live in the winwood area of miami or traveled there after june 15th june 15th should get tested for the virus. pregnant women and they're partners who live in the area or travel there should also take steps to prevent mosquito bites
