"happening now" now. hi, jenna.

wehings off on the campaign trail. welcome to the second hour of "happening now. >> donald trump and hillary clinton changing attacks. clinton is in colorado as her campaign releases new fund-raising numbers that should make her supporters happy. meanwhile trump just wrapped up a rally in virginia, home to the democratic presidential nominee, tim kaine. trump already taking some heat from a comment there about a gift from a veteran. here's what he said. >> something very nice just happened to me. a man came up to me and he handed me his purple heart.

now, i said to him, i said to him, is that like the real one or is that a copy? and he said that's my real purple heart. i have such confidence in you. and i said, man, that's like -- that's like big stuff. i always wanted to get the purple heart. this was much easier. >> trump also going after hillary clinton, saying when it comes to her involvement with russia, she looks totally lost. listen. >> she wants to play the tough one? she's not tough. she's not tough. i know tough people. she's not tough. i mean she's just doing -- she's doing the handlers, they push her from place to place. that's all it is. you saw her speech the other night. i mean they talk about presidential. do you think she looks presidential? i don't think so. i don't think so. >> we have live fox team coverage.

mike emanuel is standing by with the latest on the clinton camp in colorado. first, though, we go to peter doocy live in ashburn, virginia. >> reporter: here in tim kaine's backyard, not much talk about tim kaine except when trump said by selecting the virginia senator as a running mate, hillary clinton betrayed bernie sanders and his supporters. >> she picks a vice president that's the exact opposite of everything bernie represents. now, i don't agree with what bernie represents. but i mean honestly, it was almost 50% of their party. you would have thought she would have given him a little bit of a bone. >> reporter: he did say today bernie sanders made a deal with the devil when he agreed to stop fighting for the nomination and instead decided to endorse clinton, but trump did not call clinton the devil, which he did last night in pennsylvania, and represented a big leap from the nickname he had been using

pretty regularly, crooked hillary. according to our producer outside this high school in virginia, there were more than a thousand trump supporters trying to get in. the venue had room for 850. trump seemed okay but there was a big crowd outside. but that was not the case in columbus, ohio, yesterday where trump thought he had room for a lot more than the 1,000 supporters the fire marshal let in. trump accused the fire marshal of keeping the crowd small for political reasons. the fire marshal said the room was only set up for a thousand so that's all they let in, but campaign staffers that i have spoken to today insist that it was the fire marshal who told them they had to keep the room not very full and that they wanted to let everybody in who wanted to be in. john. >> peter doocy, plenty of room in there now. peter, thank you. >> much easier to give a report that way, when it's quiet in the room. for more on the trump campaign, dan heninger and karen tumulty

from "the washington post." daniel in your paper today, i thought it was an entering description of donald trump always being on the offense one columnist wrote. how do you think it's working for him and do you see it in the same way, just constantly on the offense? >> well, it's always about him, that's for sure. this may indeed be an election, jenna, in which all the rules of politics have been upended but there are at least a couple of rules worth keeping in mind. one is that you do ultimately have to get more votes than your opponent and the second one that i think we ought to talk about here is staying on message. and donald trump got this far by being very controversial. and he is campaigning so far on the basis of controversies that are built around him. the question is, is that going to appeal to the margin of voters that he has to build out there in those battleground states, bring over to his side who are not already there with him, in a way that hillary clinton is not going to be able to do. and it's not clear to me, jenna,

that bouncing day to day from one controversy to another, khans several days ago, the purple heart today, is actually going to keep people focused on what donald trump represents, because hillary is going to be out there every single day giving a very thought-out campaign. we're going to grind it out for the next 100 days and i think donald trump has got to get back on message of some sort sooner than later. >> what do you think, karen? >> well, i think that virginia is very much of a swing state. barack obama was the first democrat to win it since 1964. and donald trump was in loudoun county, a very swingy part of a swing state and that really was not a message for, you know, voters who are somewhere in the middle, somewhere trying to make up their minds. you know, the purple heart moment could have been -- it was pretty inartfully worded, this idea that somehow, you know, i've always wanted to get a purple heart. a purple heart is, you know, it

suggests sacrifice. it's not like winning the lottery. that said, that veteran's gesture was very heartfelt and, you know, i think it does speak to the way donald trump has made a lot of voters feel. they are very, very loyal to him. >> interesting. interesting juxtaposition as you point out, karen. we'll talk a little bit more about this in a second. i want to talk a little bit about the hillary clinton campaign and then we'll come back and talk more about the voters and the margins and how either side brings them in. john, we'll move on to hillary next. >> that's right. hillary clinton is riding her post-convention bounce with a visit to the crucial swing state of colorado today. it comes as her campaign releases its fund-raising totals for july. their best numbers to date. mike emanuel is following the campaign and is live in morrison, colorado. mike. >> reporter: john, good afternoon to you. hillary clinton is looking to build on her fund-raising advantage. her fund-raising strength by

doing a little more fund-raising here in battleground colorado later today. the clinton campaign announced it brought in about $90 million in july, its biggest haul so far. it breaks down to $63 million for the clinton campaign, about $26 million for the dnc and its state partners and the campaign notes 54% of that money came from new donors. the last time we saw clinton campaigning was last night in omaha, nebraska, with billionaire business tycoon warren buffett. the clinton campaign is using buffett and other big names in business to make the point that her plans for the economy and jobs are better than donald trump. it's also pretty clear buffett was trying to get under donald trump's skin. >> i would be delighted to meet him any place, any time between now and election. i'll bring my tax return, he can bring his tax return. nobody is going to arrest us, it is not -- there are no rules against showing your tax returns, and just let people ask

us questions about the items that are on there. you're only afraid if you've got something to be afraid about. >> so hillary clinton investing time here in battleground colorado today and tomorrow, fund-raising today, an event tomorrow. a critical purple state in the west. one of those states that we'll all be watching to see which way it goes in november. john. >> mike emanuel near the red rocks amphitheater in my home state. mike, thank you. a nice background there. well, hillary clinton is making a play for white male voters, especially in some of these key states, as polls show her struggling with that particular demographic. most recently clinton had a double-digit deficit to trump with white male supporters 55-29%. that was atoeccording to a poll out. now tim kaine is trying to help close that gap for her. here he is at a homecoming rally in virginia. >> just as i came to know you, so many of you in this room, then i had the chance to come to know virginians, the coal miners

and the oystermen and tobacco farmers in south boston and high-tech wiz kids up in virginia and bluegrass musicians, whenever they let me sit in and play one song. but the beautiful diversity of our commonwealth. >> clinton also appearing to make that appeal as well during her bus tour in pennsylvania following the dnc convention. >> we wanted to drive through pennsylvania, a state i've spent a lot of time in, because my father was born in scranton. my dad played football at penn state, my brother played football at penn state. >> karen, it's going to be more than just football references that hillary clinton is going to need to do to get this particular group of voters. how important are these voters in states like pennsylvania and

ohio to either campaign? >> you know, it is interesting, usually when people talk about the gender gap, they talk about the women's vote, but you're absolutely right. hillary clinton is struggling with white men. and she needs them in three very specific places. she needs them in pennsylvania, she needs them in ohio and she needs to do better with them in florida. her best hope is not going to be, as tim kaine said, making appeals to coal miners, but there is perhaps, you know, traditionally a union vote that she can try to peel some of those back, because that really is donald trump's path to victory. it is white men in ohio and in pennsylvania in particular. >> dan, you say you've watched hillary clinton on the campaign trail before with this particular group, and you say we should not underestimate her chances at succeeding in getting some of those voters to her side? >> yeah, that's right, jenna. back in the 2008 democratic primaries, i went out to ohio in exactly the areas that karen was

describing, cuyahoga county down toward akron and watched her all day long stand in high school arenas talking to blue collar workers. do not underestimate hillary clinton. she can pitch it to those voters. and i know that the democrats have fallen out of favor with white males, but hillary clinton is able to talk to them. she's going to do it again. we just saw that clip of tim kaine. i think he's going to be a weapon for her. i wouldn't be surprised if bill clinton didn't have a lot to do with selecting tim kaine. very nice guy, highly skilled politician who knows how to relate to audiences and talk to blue collar workers. the goal is to strip them away from donald trump at the margin. not get that whole 55% back, but maybe get 15% of them and that would then make it very difficult for trump to win in the areas that karen just described. >> karen, is that a game-changer for clinton if she's able to either get those voters or not? will that determine the election? because we're focusing on these states for that reason.

these states could tip the election in one way or another. is it this voting block that will determine who our next president is? >> it's less her trying to tip the election in her favor than into cutting off -- putting up a roadblock for what is donald trump's very narrow path to 270 electoral votes. >> dan, real quick here, she's behind president obama where he was at this same point in his campaign. so what sort of deficit, though, is she working from? >> i don't think she's working from that big of a deficit at all, jenna. i think she just has to -- the difference between 2008 and now to me is that mrs. clinton just does not have as much public credibility as she did then. there's something that is hard to take when hillary clinton stands up in front of audiences. that's why i think she's going to need barack obama, tim kaine and indeed joe biden to help pull her across in florida, pennsylvania and ohio. >> it's interesting your perspective, though. both of you seeing her in person

and saying she's very effective in person because most of us just get to see her do these big speeches from this vantage point, from watching from the other side of the television set. it's great to have you both, thank you so much, karen and dan. the victim of a brutal terror attack in a catholic church is laid to rest in france. how hundreds of people are remembering the 85-year-old priest murdered last week by terrorists in his church. also, a warning from the cdc about the zika virus in miami. what health officials are doing to try to keep that outbreak under control and how they say pregnant women can minimize the risks. >> being aware like to dump the water under your plant pots after it rains, coconut frons fall and they can hold water. my experience with usaa is awesome. homeowners insurance life insurance automobile insurance i spent 20 years active duty

they still refer to me as "gunnery sergeant" when i call being a usaa member because of my service in the military to pass that on to my kids something that makes me happy my name is roger zapata and i'm a usaa member for life. usaa. we know what it means to serve. get an insurance quote and see why 92% of our members plan to stay for life.

hundreds gathering in france

to honor a priest who was murdered while celebrating mass. two terrorists storming a normandy church last week and forced the 85-year-old priest to kneel and then they cut his throat. isis claimed responsibility for the attack and today's funeral was held under tight security and was celebrated by the town's archbishop. dozens of muslims in france and italy attended catholic masses on sunday to show support and solidarity after the attack. federal health officials telling pregnant women not to travel to certain parts of miami because of a zika outbreak there. the cdc finds at least ten new infections of the virus in one of the city's neighborhoods. health leaders saying those cases likely were transmitted by local mosquitos. phil keating live in miami with the latest. >> reporter: so we now have a total of 14 confirmed zika cases in broward and miami-dade counties which health experts

believe was transmitted by local mosquitos. in six of the ten new cases, people didn't even know they had the zika virus because they had no symptoms. at this point the cdc and florida's health department are confident this local transmission should not spread beyond a few specific neighborhoods where all 14 people have visited over the past month. it's a very popular area for locals and tourists with a lot of art galleries, restaurants, bars and shopping. the local transmission zone comprises aile area just north of downtown miami containing the wynwood arts district, midtown and edgewater neighborhoods. since friday the state and county have ramped up their spraying efforts, adding personnel with pesticide backpacks to walk around these neighborhoods and around the houses spraying to kill the mosquito responsible for spreading the disease and an emergency response team from the cdc has also flown in to help. but an alarming concern announced yesterday by the cdc

is that these mosquitos may actually be resistant to the type of pesticide being used. that is now under further investigation. the people most at risk with the zika are pregnant women because the virus can lead to mac macrocephaly in babies, a severe birth defect. >> we recommend if you're pregnant or thinking about being pregnant, talk to your ob/gyn. we are testing at our department of health. >> reporter: but still at this point florida's department of health is not requiring every ob/gyn who is treating a pregnant woman to automatically test for zika. at this point the pregnant woman specifically has to make that request. of the nearly 400 zika cases confirmed in florida this year, 55 of them involved pregnant women. >> all right, phil keating live from miami. thank you, phil. well, a helicopter dropping toxic gas on a noun syria.

what we know about last night's attack that left more than 30 people gasping for air. plus donald trump taking aim at the press, saying they are the most dishonest people he will ever meet. >> if i would have used language like they used about religion, about race, about everything else that they discuss in those e-mails, i would have had to run and hide and probably drop out of the race.

we have a media that is so dishonest, that no matter what, makes no difference. but these are among the most dishonest people you'll ever,

ever meet. these people -- you know, i've had days where i said, boy, this was a great day, i look forward to seeing it tonight or tomorrow, and it's brutal! i say what happened? but we're going to punch through the media. we have to. >> that's donald trump again going after the news media at a campaign rally in the battleground state of pennsylvania, suggesting he might pull press kre decredenti from "the new york times" over its coverage. the paper would join two dozen other news outlets that have been banned from his campaign events. joining us now to discuss all of this, garland nixon, democratic strategist and david webb. gentlemen, welcome. >> good afternoon. >> david, to you first. what do you think about the wisdom of banning media outlets from trump event? >> i personally don't like it, john. if the media is going to write the story, they're going to find

a way. i say keep them there, let them have their access, but then counter it effectively. they make an effective foil for donald trump. there has been a lot of, call it biased reporting in a lot of the media out there, but that's already going to happen. that's who these elitists are. that's who a lot of these writers are. they're no longer journalists, they're opinion editors on any form of media. so let them write the story, but then instead of letting them caricature you and giving them the ammunition to do it, donald trump should turn around and put them in proper context and focus on hillary clinton. >> well, speaking of hillary clinton, garland, we saw from the wikileaks hack of the democratic national committee that apparently there was some collusion going on between media people, writers, journalists, and the clinton campaign. >> well, there's no shortage of irony here, because donald trump gets kind of bipartisan bonus points for attacking the media right now.

meanwhile he doesn't have to buy bumper stickers or yard signs, he can save all of that money because the very media outlets that he's attacking, they lead with trump every day. they're making all of this money off of donald trump because he brings -- he brings in so many viewers. and right now i do a shameless plug here, but my facebook page, real progressive. we've got 60,000 people on there and routinely cnn is referred to as the clinton news network. right now amongst the progressives and i guess the former bernie supporters, basically what donald trump has said is echoing what's being said on the left. so it's a very interesting dynamic going on here. >> so are you suggesting, garland, that she's sort of crazy like a fox in bringing this up? >> i'm suggesting that he understands -- i'm no trump supporter, i'm a very progressive person, but i'm suggesting that just philosophically he understands

the anti-establishment dynamic. he understands a lot of people on the left and the right see the mainstream press as kind of a compromised corporate entity and he's taking advantage of that. the people on our side don't seem to understand the dynamics and they don't figure it out pretty soon, he's going to have a lot more success than me and a whole lot of other people would like to see. >> what i see here, john, it's who it reaches that matters. the independent voters, the voters across america. look, we're here, we're in the business, you're a radio host, i'm a radio host. but the people that it reaches may take that negative message and caricatures an use them against trump in that he's right in that they are painting him a certain away. they gloss over hillary clinton, the foundation, the e-mails, debbie wasserman schultz. look at the things they leave out of the story. >> real quickly, rudy giuliani, who ran for president himself, had a bit of advice for donald

trump on "fox & friends" on handling the media. listen to this. >> my advice to donald would be very simple. i'll tell you the advice i give him. you have one person to attack. hillary clinton. and barack obama, because it's the obama administration. let all of us, myself, gingrich, christie, this whole army, let us attack everybody else. that's always been my rule in politics, which is you run against one person. don't run against the world. >> garland, i know you're not a trump fan, but what do you think about that advice? >> my advice to any politician is don't take advice from someone who got crushed out of the presidential cycle like the first -- the very first stage. rudy giuliani said stupid things but he doesn't get anything out of it. he didn't have a lot of success. >> all right, david. >> garland, come on. we had a pretty honest

discussion up till now. his advice is solid, regardless of what happened. the fact is that rudy giuliani is talking about the tactics of playing -- that you should play out, have your attack dogs out there. by the way, i would suggest to donald trump that he's got a very positive figure in ivanka trump. she can be -- she's a smart, accomplished woman, an example of what you can do when you have such a strong figure in your family. let her go out there and be the positive force, but do let, as rudy said, the attack come from others and focus on hillary clinton, focus on the economy, focus on your personal border and national security, key issues for americans. >> david webb and garland anybody's, good discussion, gentlemen, thank you. >> good to see you. a new storm threat similar to the ones that battered the southwest over the weekend. it's monsoon season out there. what does that mean? we have the forecast, but first there's this. the latest craze.

helicopter dropped containers of the gas over a town near the turkish border. crews were on the scene handing out oxygen masks and helping those who were injured. we are live from jerusalem with more on all of this. connor. >> reporter: syrian opposition leaders claiming the assad regime is using chemical weapons on the population charging that a helicopter dropped small canisters of chlorine gas on the civilian population. dozens of people being treated for breathing problems today at a local hospital. opposition rebels and regime forces have both been accused of using chlorinated gas on civilians during the course of this six-year-long civil war. dozens of incidents have been reported. many have been investigated by the international community. this attack comes just one day after a russian helicopter was shot down near the same village.

activists believe today's attack could be in retaliation for the bringing down of that russian helicopter. now, all of this comes as the battle for the syrian city of aleppo is really starting to ramp up. john, this is a key fight because this is really the last big syrian rebel opposition city. it has been divided for some time now, but the syrian rebels hold a large chunk of aleppo. if the regime force can push in and retake aleppo, the syrian opposition would essentially crumble across much of the country. this is really a big fight and what happens in aleppo over the course of the next several weeks will have a lot in terms of the bearing of the future of the syrian rebel opposition group there, john. >> connor powell reporting live from our middle east bureau. thank you, connor. some new information about the smartphone craze pokemon go, and it's now going to court. a new jersey man is suing the companies behind the game claiming the game prompted

dozens of pokemon players to trespass on his private property. that's because pokemon go isn't a typical game that you just play indoors. it requires players to track virtual critters, called pokemon, on their smartphone. this man said the game's gps set his backyard up as a hot spot for pokemon, which he didn't consent to and quite frankly didn't want these people on his property. trespassing isn't the only potential problem with pokemon go. tech experts say there's also concerns about players' safety and security. >> you're storing information like your e-mail address and your game and your geolocation online somewhere where people could take advantage of that and target you for a crime. dependi pokemon go app, you could be vulnerable to some of the information leakage or exposure attacks. >> we've also seen instances of pokemon-related violence. check this out. so that's a brawl in new york

state after what was supposed to be a virtual battle between pokemon players. it turned into a real fistfight. and they're not the only ones taking the game too far. this couple from arizona has been charged with child neglect after they went out to catch pokemon but left their 2-year-old son on the front lawn in 90-degree heat. when the neighbors found out, they were horrified. >> i just can't even imagine it. i would not leave my kids for a second for any reason. i just -- i don't get it. >> i don't even go in the other room without him, so i just can't imagine that at all. >> do either of you play pokemon go? >> no. >> our prompter operator gave me a tutorial and we found pokemon right in the studio. interesting case. let's take each one by one. the man who has a case against

the came developer saying that they're prompting people to come onto his property illegally, does he have a case? >> maybe. though the people that are responsible for coming onto the property, the trespassers, they are ultimately finally responsible because they are doing the trespassing themselves. so what they're going to come back -- the pokemon people are going to come back and say we're not responsible because they were the ones trespassing. what the owner is going to say is, yes, you reasonably could have foreseen that this would have happened, so you're responsible in a nuisance setup because you made this happen. those are the arguments on both sides of this case. >> and so if it was allowed to proceed, it could be a huge lawsuit. the company says, though, that they're trying to -- you know, they're encouraging people to adhere to the laws of the land. they're advising them really to

adhere to the laws of the human world, not the virtual world that's on their iphones or otherwise. so is their argument strong? >> no, because if you know nevertheless people are going to be violating the law and violating people's privacies and you could be preventing that, which they could, and it was foreseeable people would use this and could be a danger to people living in their homes and don't want people going on their property. and here's the other wrinkle with it, jenna, is when those people are on those people's property, the homeowner now may be sued and liable if there's a dangerous condition on the property. >> if they fall into a hole, a pool or something like that, now they're liable. >> i think the company knows this but it's a cost benefit analysis. they're making so much money, they're putting aside all of those risks in my opinion when they could be curtailed and limited and they're not doing that. it's creating a great security danger. >> it sounds like you're saying there's some room here, that this craze could turn into some

really legal cases. >> and they could also argue unjust enrichment. they're getting unjustly enriched, the company is. >> what about the privacy concerns. there are those that say the company is collecting too much information and although we all have the option to agree to certain terms and conditions, we all know we just click agree and all of our information is out there. what about that, bob, what about some of the privacy concerns for users because they're collecting where you are when you're there? >> people push "i agree" and don't realize, as a former prosecutor we used to be concerned about this. you're giving up your geospatial location. bad guys could get access to that private information and you now become a vulnerable target. >> but if i hit "i agree" does that mean i consent? >> not necessarily. i think the way these were set up is a little flimsy. the company needs to explain what those dangers are and you need to just not click yes. you have to click on each one

that you realize that there is a significant danger to your personal safety. >> the problem is if you want the thing, and in this case the thing is pokemon. >> the game. >> right. if you want that, whether you're purchasing a pokemon or pair of jeans, you will click on "i agree." and who really is going to read through all those things? >> not when you really want the jeans. i totally understand that example. >> that brings up a really good question. you also have a lot of children that click "i agree" and don't have the capacity legally to agree. >> speaking of children, i want to ask you about that last case, this child neglect case where the parents were off playing the game and left the child? >> that really makes me -- my -- boil here, my blood boil. they cannot blame the game. are you kidding me? that's like blame the bar. i had to go get a drink at the bar, blaming the bar. are you kidding me? there's no excuse for that. >> but there will be cases because it's been in the news for too long, they can say this is an obsession.

psychologically, i've been addicted to this game and i was just following it and i left my child just for a few minutes and this is what happened. >> and while it's not an excuse, but there is the rule of common sense and there are people that are so distracted, distracted while driving. texting and driving is a problem. they're distracted and not watching the surroundings. i was just down the shore and i watched somebody that i was with, a younger person. with all due respect, love the person. they were so concentrated on the pokemon game, not only were they walking into people, but there were guys that i was watching with my situational awareness that were like, hey, come on over here, let's talk. this is going to be a big problem for people. i would say to any parent or family member out there, you need to make sure these kids are not out at nighttime, that they're not going to be at people's homes. they're we'll abducted, people will be rape and people will be rocked. >> the rules of common sense. sometimes everyone needs a refresher. thank you very much. we'll continue to watch this. john. space tourism company getting the chance to test its

a fox news alert. you might have heard a little more than an hour ago, president obama in a news conference said that donald trump is unfit to be president of the united states. well, as you can imagine, donald trump is punching back, releasing a statement in response to the president. he says in part obama/clinton have single handedly destabilized the middle east, handed iraq, libya and syria to isis and allowed our personnel

to be slaughtered at benghazi. they have betrayed our security and our workers and hillary clinton has proven herself unfit to serve in any government office. she is reckless with her e-mails, reckless with regime change and reckless with american lives. our nation has been humiliated abroad and compromised by radical islam brought onto our shores. we need change now. once again, donald trump's response to the president saying he is unfit to be president. now a fox extreme weather alert. devastating storms sweeping through south carolina overnight completely wiping out roadways there. in the meantime, more rain out west and this was the scene in arizona the last few days. time elapsed video of a monsoon thunderstorm rolling in of the all of this as we keep an eye on a newly named tropical storm as well. our senior meteorologist, janice dean, is live in the fox extreme weather center. bring the yellow, j.d. >> i needed a little boost
