8:00 am
to. bill: have a great day. martha: have a great day everybody. "happening now" start right now. jon: we begin with a fox news alert, the obama administration unveiling bipartisan legislation aimed at fighting growing drug abuse and overdose prices in the united states. the president signing the comprehensive addiction and recovery act of 2016. it authorizes more than $180 million in spending for new programs but leaves congress to figure out the funding part of all that. jenna: whole lot to get you today. locked in the campaign with yet another major staff shakeup coming out for donald trump gets his first ever classified briefing. hello everybody, hope you're off to a great day, i'm jenna
8:01 am
lee. jon: i'm jonscott. donald trump in new york preparing to hold an law-enforcement roundtable after a rally in milwaukee last night, the site of the riots in recent days after a fatal police involved shooting. from talking about his vision for cleaning up crime and keeping america safe . >> law and order must be restored. [applause] it must be restored for the sake of all. jon: we have team fox coverage, jennifer griffin live in cleveland with the clinton campaign but we begin with john roberts live in milwaukee. reporter: some people are referring to it as a staff shakeup, others prefer an expansion of its staff campaign in the general expection but don't has hired two people at the top, steve man who is currently an executive with breitbart news will be the chief executive officer of the campaign. he was once known as america's most dangerous medical operative and
8:02 am
kellyanne conway, a good friend of donald trump, senior advisor will now be the campaign manager. these two hires indicate donald trump will likely continue the competitive style that has defined his campaign. he was combative last night in that prepared speech in the west bend north of milwaukee though disciplined and on message in the wake of the milwaukee riots over the weekend, delivering a lot and order speech about rebuilding inner cities economic and education opportunities and strong policing underpinning, telling minority communities that hillary clinton and the democrats are pursuing policies that perpetuate poverty. >> she is against the police. hillary would rather protect the offender then the victim. hillary clinton backed policies are responsible for the problems in the inner cities today and a vote for her is a vote for another generation of poverty, high crime and lost opportunities.
8:03 am
reporter: donald trump is adding more firepower to his campaign and clearly with last night's speech has made a payment to tour the middle. in an exclusive interviewwith fox he rejected the urgent call from many republican leaders to turn his campaign around . >> do you think you need to turn your campaign around or do you think you're doing fine? >> i actually think i'm doing good. i have the biggest crowds, nobody's ever had crowds like this they say. we're going to have to see. reporter: this afternoon donald trump will receive his first classified intelligence briefing, it's supposed to happen at 3:00 in new york city. accompanying him will be new jersey governor chris christie who gets pretty to the fact that he is a transition chairman and donald trump also bringing along lieutenant general michael flynn, he will be there to analyze the report because john, the trump campaign is a little skeptical about whether or not you're going to get good
8:04 am
quality, the best quality intelligence in this briefing everything that hasbeen going on . jon: would love to be a fly on the wall in that room? reporter: sure would. jon: thanks very much. jenna: we would all jump at the opportunity for that. in the meantime hillary clinton in the battleground state of ohio where she's expected ever trump on his economic plans and he wants to give tax breaks to wealthy people like himself. jennifer is live in cleveland. jennifer? reporter: we are outside the john marshall high school where there is already a long line of voters sneaking around the school. it's a city block long behind me. i see on loan ernie sanders supporter with a flag off in the distance. but hillary clinton is going to be focusing today on donald trump's tax plan which her campaign says would give, would benefit his family by billions of dollars. she will talk today about what she's calling the trump loophole. >> he wants a new tax loophole that we call the
8:05 am
trump loophole that would actually help him and everybody else who is really wealthy. he wants to eliminate the estate tax which does nothing for 99.8 percent of all americans but you know, if trump is as wealthy as he claims to be, it would save his family $4 billion. reporter: she will tour the john marshall high school which is a model to point students towards careers that address a regional skills gap . it has a school of engineering, school of information technology and the school of business and civischool students. she will argue the $4 billion that they say trump's family would say with his tax plan would be enough to provide healthcare for every veteran in ohio. the clinton campaign is also pushing back hard, rebutting political conspiracy theories that have emerged about hillary clinton's health.
8:06 am
a clinton's doctor, doctor lisa barnett without a statement debunking what she said were phony documents suggesting clinton has health problems. quote, i have recently been made aware of allegedly leaked medical documents guarding secretary clinton with my name on them. thesedocuments are false, were not written by me and are not based on any medical facts . earlier this morning, vice presidential candidate tim kane gave an interview to the today show in which he called , he referenced the fbi heading over to congress those notes from hillary clinton's july 2 interview with the fbi. here's what he said. >> anything that the fbi gets to congress they should give to the public because what we've seen is this lengthy, multi-million-dollar congressional investigation that has been highly partisan where they wanted to leak out this or that to try to make their case against lori clinton.
8:07 am
reporter: clinton aides that i spoke to yesterday say they are concerned the republican-led oversight committee is going to leak out bits and pieces and they want to, they want all of the notes released so the public can decide for themselves. back to you. jenna: jennifer griffin, thank you. jon: back to this shakeup of the trump campaign, let's get ended in assessment from j stiles, washington bureau chief for the wall street journal. how are you doing this morning? >> good, thanks. jon: kellyanne conway is now the campaign manager. we've got stephen brannon in as chief executive. trump campaign says it's not a shakeup, just an expansion. is it? >> it's an overhaul, i don't know if it's a shakeup because paul manafort is still there but it's a campaign structure that looks like it's been built to allow donald trump to continue
8:08 am
being donald trump, just more effectively than he has been over the last few weeks. steve bannon is somebody who's been an outspoken trump fan and is one of those sort of very energetic trump fans and that's in keeping with the trump style.kellyanne conway is an interesting choice because one of the things she's done over the last several years, is the republican pollster who stood on the rooftop and shouted to the party you need to do better with women voters. you need to pay more attention to your problems with women voters. now here she is running a campaign that got problems with women voters in general. it will be interesting to see what sort of tweets that produces but overall you're going to see more use of polling, more use of data analytics and more aggressive online strategy. more traditional campaign tactics. jon: you also said campaign that was electronic be trump. you are you suggesting the last couple of speeches he's given had not been effective? >> i think there's a
8:09 am
consensus there needs to be more of that kind of thing. donald trump is involved in those conversations himself so he's not being forced into that per se. his terrorism speech, the speech last night in milwaukee were all examples of the kinds of things that everybody in the inner trump circle agrees need to be done more often. they look presidential although that's not a term mister trump has liked very much but i think he also would like to continue to make sure those speeches have the same aggressive tone he likes and i don't think you're ever going to see an end to trump rallies, he loves those so this is an attempt to get him in where he can do those things there that are a little more structured but not in a way that fundamentally attempt to turn them into something he says i'm not. jon: what has been made of the growing gap between donald trump and hillary clinton in the polls but i keep coming back to this. television advertising is effective and trump has done virtually none of it. he's going to roll out his first campaign ads this
8:10 am
friday, the day after tomorrow in pennsylvania, north carolina, florida, ohio. can that make a difference? >> he said last night in his interview where he stopped about his staff change, hillary clinton spent $100 million in television ads, i spent zero so we will see what that does. it does make a difference obviously and one of the things been causing anguish around washington is to see the trump campaign let those ads go unanswered. i have to say this has also been a campaign in which the traditional television ad have less impact than it normally has. a lot of those ads are just direct contact with voters through cable news channels. and also through social media, they taken on more importance so we will see. my guess is that in the aggregate, television ads will prove to be less of a factor overall this time around and they have been in the past. jon: there's some anguishon the democratic side as well. hillary clinton is trying to appeal to a wide range of the electorate . here's how our guest jerry sizes of the box in which she finds herself as a candidate
8:11 am
as that suggests, he writes, they are now in a sense three political parties in the us. the bernie sanders elizabeth warren liberals, donald trump angry populist and the hilly hillary clinton centrists searching for a place to go. clinton is trying to draw from all three streams. c seeks to her all parties liberal and pull back some of those working-class males attempted to defect to mister trump andto woo moderate republicans .now willing to jump ship. that's a tall order jerry. you suggest he's going to have trouble pulling that off. >> it's a high-class problem to have because she has the potential to pull from all those streams and this is an opportunity as much as a problem. the difficulty she has is that there's a strong pull in her party to the left, the bernie sanders movement capitalized on that and added to it. the tricky part is doing that while also squeezing this opening in the center and to her right among moderate republicans or part of this
8:12 am
trump coalition or don't see themselves that way now. that's the tricky part. part of it is for own personality which is to say she's seen as more of a moderate than, more of a hawkish democrat than the bernie sanders democrats will like but how do you take advantage without alienating your base?it's a problem but it's a good problem to have in the sense that it speaks to the potential for her to reach beyond the normal bounds of a democratic campaign. jon: you suggest she would be more hawkish than president obama. she welcomed his support in the campaign season. how does she welcomed that endorsement without stepping on the presidents toes? >> it's not just that, it's being more hawkish in a party where whereas he saw at the democratic national convention, but no more war can't get pretty loud and to the extent you said about me more aggressive in syria and
8:13 am
combating isis, you will run into problems there so she's trying to shoot that gap by saying i'm going to be more aggressive in attacking islamic state forces in syria and iraq but i'm not going to use troops. that's the message. it's again a tricky balancing act but i think the potential is there to pull some of those republicans in the trump voters, they are in a way even less eager to get involved in syria and iraq so it's difficult to be on both sides of the question. jon: wall street journal in washington, thank you. >> to be with you john. jon: to into a fox news exclusive this evening as donald trump or the town hall with our own sean hannity in milwaukee. it airs 10 pm eastern tonight. jenna: a major update in the search for two missing teenagers. authorities believe they know where the teenagers are area they are now treating the case as a homicide. also, the death toll and
8:14 am
8:17 am
jon: a few crime stories we are keeping an eye on. police in north carolina three missing teenagers, alex castille and 19-year-old omnia peter may be in mexico. this after fox believed he was telling a woman who was also missing. investigators have not said what evidence leads them to believe the woman is dead. san francisco police identifying the serial bank robber called the dreaded bandit as recently paroled bank robber mitchell brown. brown who served 27 years behind bars for robbing banks was rearrested last week. and the boyfriend of the mother of missing north carolina toddler has been charged with murder.
8:18 am
mc: kyle charged after the child remains were found during a search yesterday morning. jenna: a fox news alert, nationwide authorities raising the death toll to 11 in the historic flooding that has devastated southeastern louisiana. more than 30,000 people have been rescued since friday when monsoon like rain the state. live from the parish with more, casey? reporter: if there's a silver lining is that the water has started to go down in many areas like where we are but if you lookin that direction , that is clay, by you. it's spilled over its banks into the retention pond you see, causing water to come gushing into thisneighborhood . people put out sandbags, tried doing what they could to keep the water out of their homes but there was no stopping this and this give you an example of how high the water got. all the way up to the top of
8:19 am
that window. can you imagine? no sandbags will do the trick there. local officials fear the number of people who lost their lives could go up was at the floodwaters receded, first responders will finally be able to reach areas where people could have been tracked. they now know out of the 11 dead one was a grandmother who drowned after just hitting her four-year-old grandson safety. >> it looks like the vehicle was traveling through some high water. the current washed them off into a ditch. the elderly female and the child got out of the vehicle, escape the vehicle and unfortunately the female did drowned. reporter: authorities say volunteers are desperately needed here in louisiana. we have seen neighbor helping neighbor but this is such a widespread event that they can use all the help they can get.
8:20 am
for context, you are looking live at a picture of ascension parish which is to the south of us. even more devastation, more evacuations, more water rescues have played out there in recent days. fema is on the ground getting people signed up for disaster assistance that many so desperately need. jenna? jenna: hard to imagine the water as high as you showed us there on the windows. unbelievable. we will continue to watch, thank you. jon: so much rain in such a short time. search crews making another grim discovery as they sift through the wreckage of an apartment complex destroyed in a massive explosion. plus, on third party presidential nominee is gaining ground with voters and in the all-important fundraising fight. can governor gary johnson he one key hurdle he believes
8:21 am
8:24 am
jenna: with the two major party standardbearers getting the highest unfavorable ratings in modern american politics, more voters are giving third-party candidates look including libertarian presidential nominee gary johnson. johnson was twice elected governor of new mexico, serving from 1995 to 2003. he ran for president in 2012 as a republican on a libertarian platform and this year's running mate is william welch, former two-term republican governor of massachusetts. doctor johnson has raised nearly $3 million in this month and for pulling he's currently in third place at 8 and a half percent on the
8:25 am
real clear politics average. you will need to get that number to 15 percent to qualify for the first presidential debate next month so all the reason to talk to him now. return presidential nominee, it's nice to have you on a program. >> great to be on jenna. where giving ourselves better than a 50 percent chance to get to that 15 percent, the number having doubled really in the last six weeks and five goals that the delete commission says they're going to use right now, our consensus in those five polls is right around 10. yeah. in double digits and by all social media analytics also, we are broadening, we got about 25 million reach and the broad-based message the fiscally conservative, socially liberal . let's have an invincible
8:26 am
national defense but when we get involved in regime change, that has the unintended consequence of making things worse, not better. we're the free traders. let's bring theworld together with free trade, diplomacy . jenna: your policy platform, a lot to dig into their. the introduction gives some of the most interesting things about you and i want to start with this. you climbed mount everest while recovering with a broken leg. and i think hearing about that may tell us more about you than any policy i could bring up. let's start there.how and why did you do that?>> well, i broke my leg just a couple of months, a whole fracture of the tibia, a couple of months before we went to nepal and it is analogous to life. you can either crawl up in a ball, you can give up, hey i'm a victim or get up tomorrow with a smile on your face .
8:27 am
just realize that there are obstacles in life and it's how you deal with those obstacles that ultimately determines success so i left her nepal with a healing broken leg. by the time summer rolled around, i think my leg was in pretty good shape although it was still about an inch and three-quarter bigger in diameter because of the lack of circulation in its. jenna: i don't mean to laugh but somebody mount everest is challenging enough without having to worry about maybe not being fully healed and you went from doing everest after you were governor of new mexico to also making complete all seven of the highest peaks in the world and that's an interesting ... >> connection, not baha'is peace in the world but highest mountain each of the seven . jenna: thank you. jenna: impressive all the same. is an interesting metaphor for politics because you can
8:28 am
see your challenge ahead of you when you are not in planning but you have to figure out a way to work within the system to get to the top and on curious what you think is the biggest challenge facing america today. >> ,nation thereof, i do believe it's government spending, i do believe the government tries to accomplish too much and in that process taxes us too much and ultimately left government is more freedom and more freedom, what's that? it's just that all must be able to make choices in our lives as long as those choices don't adversely affect others, it's liberty. it's freedom and we are all concerned about terrorist threats which is very real but we need to recognize that for the most part it has everything to do with us having gotten involved in regime changes in other countries so let's stop getting involved in regime changes but let's have an impenetrable national defense. let's see this trend for
8:29 am
thing included. i view isis asked sans through an hourglass so we will see that process through. myself, bill well, to former republican governors reelected in heavy democratic states, we are planning to do this as a partnership. beauty, were not planning divided staff. were going to get two for the price of one. jenna: we will take bargain pricing. what's your solution for out-of-control government spending? >> we are not going to get elected king and dictator, were going to get elected president and vice president so there are constitutional limits on that office. we are promising to submit a balanced budget to congress in the first 100 days, whether or not congress acts on that, that's a whole other thing but if there was just two percent growth in government over a five-year period coupled with historic government economic growth, there would be a balanced
8:30 am
budget and you cannot balance the budget if you are not going to address the entitlements, medicaid, medicare. it's not cutting social security but it's reforming social security starting with raising the retirement age, you can also have a very fair thing and you can't do it without cutting the military and that would not be cutting the military and compromising national defense. the commission set up to determine excess military bases has long recommended a 20 percent reduction in our current military bases. politically, it hasn't allow that to happen. jenna: we were looking at our social media, you mentioned it. we have a lot of different opinions from viewers who are
8:31 am
supporting you and some criticizing you as well say this is not going to be helpful for the process overall because it will leave more votes for hillary clinton. governor johnson was a republican one, you want that side to win and this is only going to have hillary clinton. you say what? >> book, my percent of the electorate is getting represented by the republicans and the democrats right now. where's the representation to half of america right now that are declaring themselves as independent? this is a system gonna arrive . this is a party that needs spoiling. it's spoiled itself. jenna: we look forward to having more conversations with you one day, that would be interesting. >> you didn't mention jenna that you would also like to base camp of everest. jenna: it wasn't everest, it was annapurna. so our viewers know. >> very close. jenna: it was more of a day hike compared to that. great complement. >> when you admit the
8:32 am
nepalese were incredibly happy and they didn't really have anything materially? here we have everything materially and as army is happy as we should be? it's an excellent question and like experience does think about leadership which is why we wanted to talk to you about that? we look forward to you back and we appreciate the kindness best of luck. >> thank you very much. jenna: we will be right back.

8:36 am
fire aboard a passenger ship off the coast of san juan puerto rico with 512 people on board. it started in the engine room and quickly spread. joining me on the phone is tenant commander brian kelly with coast guard district 7. where do things stand now? >> as of now the passing verse four on the vessel have been disembarked and are being transferred to pierce six in san juan puerto rico where they are receiving medical care and emergency treatment.as of now the last report we have is that lasix personnel are still on board on the crew of the vessel and that the caribbean fantasy. the 26 personnel, 26 crew are currently being disembarked as well. jenna: any injuries. >> no reports of injuries for personnel or crewmembers. jenna: that's good news, it must be scary to realize that suddenly there's a fire in his room and that it spread to other compartments.
8:37 am
where is it effective? >> we don't know at this point which compartments were affected, we just know that it started in interim and spread what where the ship had to be evacuated and multiple air and surface assets from the coast guard as well as local law enforcement and fire rescue was funded immediately to help assist and get all those passengers actually. >> i'm curious how you do that, it was only a few hours ago that fire started or that you have a report that there was a fire on board. how do you get 500+ people off without injuries? >> that's a credit to the coast guard, the crew there in san juan as well as the local officials work together to help get those personnel back safely to hear. jenna: we are happy that was the case and that you all were there to answer the call. commander kelly, great to have you on the program. it's a story will continue to watch as we get more information about what caused the fire. thank you. jon: a seismic shift in donald trump's campaign for the second time in two months. the republican nominee promoting advisor kellyanne
8:38 am
conway to campaign manager and hiring breitbart news executive chairman stephen bannon to be the campaign chief executive so will these moves be enough to get the campaign back on solid ground. marianne mark is former senior advisor to john kerry and matt flap is chairman of the american conservative union and former white house political director for president george w. bush so matt, let's talk with you, how would you assess the changes in the trump campaign? >> i think they're adding to the team at a critical juncture. usually campaigns start in earnest around labor day and you have a candidate in donald trump love looking at the polls and he hasn't liked looking at those holes over the course of the last three weeks. i think this has some extra to the team as they start to make their television campaign. he's got stay on message in order to be in play and witnessing and the last thing
8:39 am
it does is it adds to known and respected conservatives to the top salons of his campaign whichis critically important that he continues to bring conservatives and republicans home but once again it is to be in plan witnessing . jon:he has , is late to be making changes like this, is it too late? >> it's not too late but it is really late, there are a few days left to go and also has not left with a lot of great choices, there is a fine line at this point to getting your campaign doing things to catch fire and spontaneous combustion so for donald so that maybe unusually exclusive exercise. his message is perfect for the republican base which is why he's the nominee but does that same message and does translate into getting mother is on board and independence? that hasn't been the case thus far and i think that's what donald trump is going to wrestlewith for the rest of this campaign , the things he has to say and do and how you do them, does it expand his voting base without alienating folks that have
8:40 am
been with him all along or does the opposite happenedand that's something to want in the remaining days . jon: go a head. i actually think both hillary clinton and donald trump are not a mathematician, hillary clinton has to continue to work this uneasy relationship she had with bernie sanders supporters, this green party candidate who's had prior movements, she needs to working that. donald has to continue to workall time and what you're going to see his two candidates who are going to make, they are going to reach to the middle and independent voters but they're going to constantly work their bases and what donald trump has to first do is appeal to conservatives and who are recalcitrant home so the message from both these candidates is going to be based on who is the face of their party. jon: you win the nomination by winning the base of the party and everyone says you to the general election. donald trump was talking to a news organization, here's what he told them. he says everyone talks about, oh you got it.
8:41 am
i don't want to, i don't want to change. you have to be you. if you start preventing, you're not being honest with people. no, i am ym. you are coming at this from a democratic point of view but give us your assessment on that, your resume like honesty and politicians, don't they? >> people constantly make faith, and that would be donald solana teleprompter, that does not work. no matter how hard he practices, he's not comfortable with it.even if they disagree with you if they think you are being authentic about that they are willing give you the benefit of the doubt, i think the problem for donald trump now as with many voters they are no longer getting them the benefit of the doubt because of his many personal criticisms against various people across the voting spectrum, mexico for him and i think in the next six weeks or so the thing i'm going to look for is if he's not waiting, i think he can lead but i don't think you can come all the way back and if he thinks is going to lose, does he make the decision
8:42 am
that there's more mutually assured destruction, going to now i'm going to take hillary with me and i think that's the basis he could take and that's a backfire badly on him and her bag as well. jon: give us your assessment. is it too late for the >> not at all, most people are political, most people have engaged on the campaign and i'll agree with marianne there's a difference that donald has put out there that don't particularly messed up and he is the issues that are important in this election are broken washington needing outside voice to fix it, fighting radical islamic terrorism and getting the economy moving. donald trump needs on all those key issues in this race and every poll shows you that what he now has to do is execute on the message around each one of those things and while hillary clinton is dishonest and trustworthy, she's not the person who's got this ability to change and fix these problems. she stays in the pocket with those messages with kelly ann
8:43 am
and steve, he's in a good position to win this race. jon: i will give you the last word. >> the fact is voters trust clinton to fix the problem and trust numbers are barely better than hillary clinton's. it's a challenge for donald trump with white women with college degrees, overwhelmingly. usually republican voters, hillary clinton has a 30 point lead with them and i find it hard to imagine that donald trump could say or do anything with a few days left to bring them back on board. jon: 82 days, keep your eyes and ears open. jon: seems like a long time to me. marianne marsh, matt, thank you both. jenna: unprecedented moves by iran allowing russian warplanes to use an airbase inside the country. why thismatters next . i have asthma...
8:44 am
...one of many pieces in my life. so when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my long-term control medicine. i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms. breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. breo won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. breo opens up airways to help improve breathing for a full 24 hours. breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. do not take breo more than prescribed. see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. ask your doctor if 24-hour breo could be a missing piece for you.
8:47 am
syria today launched from an airbase in the western koran and that's the news there. a prominent iranian lawmaker is confirming russian warplanes are using the facility and this is an unprecedented move and not without consternation. let's talk to a foreign-policy columnist for the national review. what do you make of this decision by iran and by russia? >> it's good to be with you jenna. it's another indication of the confidence the russians feel in challenging american policy. very directly and very broadly in the middle east. there are two things immediately going on. number one, the russians as much as they say they have
8:48 am
these bombers using the space in a rant because it's safe and flight times, which it does and because the base in syria they've been using, the airbase is stalled they have quite the bomber aircraft that could use that base in syria. what they are doing is sending a signal to the united states that they are not going to back away from the table, this will escalate as the obama administration refuses to give more ground. i think the connection point of what these bombers will be doing is actually leveling large civilian areas of aleppo. these are bombers that do have the technology and armaments of the us air force so they are going to pummel civilians and through that send a message to the administration that you'd better back off in syria and let us keep assad or we're going to keepplaying you in the middle east . jenna: that's quite an investment because you rightly point out that we are again talking about these stories of innocent civilians on the ground that are just being completely tortured for lack of a better word by a

iran is appearing strong. american allies are not appearing strong so it means overtime saudi arabia for example is going to move away from the american orbit in terms of reformation and repairing the economy when oil prices, when oil runs out and that makes it much more likely the saudi's will retrench into the kind of extremism you seen before because ultimately the russians do not care about civility and human rights and peace and a strong economy as long as it benefits them. as long as these country buys russian military equipment and bowing to president clinton. it's the great game of the middle east and we are losing it in a very systemic way. jenna: the next question is how do we win it left a mark that's going to take longer than 30 seconds but i hope you come back. there's a longer conversation about how we fix things if it's possible. >> it is possible. jenna: thank you.
