trudeau, the relatively recent prime minister of canada and enrique pena any yea toe. he says the meetings are going to be all about trade, specifically nafta. here's what the president said. >> the president has been really very amazing, and i think we're going to have a very good result for mexico, for the united states and for everybody involved. >> reporter: the white house is also continuing to push back against press reports that the crowds for president trump's inauguration back on the 20th -- that's just friday -- were nowhere near as large as they were for president obama back in january of 2009. on fox news sunday this morning, reince priebus refused to accept chris wallace's contention that
3:03 pm
these foes appear to clearly show a smaller crowd on friday, and priebus insisted that trump is justified in waging war with the press. >> there's an obsession by the immediate can ya to de-- media to delegitimize this president. and we are not going to sit around and let it happen. we are going to fight back tooth and nail every day and twice on sunday. >> reporter: there may not be much time in the next few days to engage in such arguments was they have a full slate of policy issues on the table as well as that visit there theresa may from britain. we understand that tomorrow the president may sign a number of executive orders, some dealing with immigration, some dealing with trade, some dealing with national security. arthel? arthel: john roberts, thanks. eric: heene while, senate republicans are hoping to speed up president trump's cabinet nominations. only two members have so far been sworn in, former general
3:04 pm
james mattis to run the pat gone and former general john kelly as the new secretary of homeland security. this as the president's remaining cabinet nominees, well, they're waiting on the to be confirmed. rich edson live from washington, d.c. with more. >> reporter: good evening, eric. republicans have enough votes to confirm president trump's nominees, though senate democrats have slowed the process considerably leaving significant positions unfilled as the trump administration begins. with only his defense and homeland security secretaries in office, president trump is still without his nominees at the state and treasury department, the central intelligence agency and the department that will likely overhaul the u.s. health care system, the department of health and human services. democrats say trump's choices require a higher level of scrutiny. >> of these nominees did not submit their ethics reports, did not submit their fbi reports,
3:05 pm
they were poorly rared -- >> these are all kind of manufactured reasons, chris, to slow down the process because they don't want this administration to be treated hike other administrations. >> reporter: mcconnell also says he is optimistic the senate will confirm all the president's nominees. one of those chances of confirmation have risen today because two republican holdouts have just announced they will support former exxonmobil ceo rex tillerson as secretary of state. senators john mccain and lindsey graham write, quote: we still have concerns about his past dealings with the russian government and president vladimir putin. we believe mr. tillerson can be an effective advocate for u.s. interests anding essentially, that was the statement. still unclear, though, is whether senator marco rubio will join mccain and graham in support. rubio aggressively questioned tillerson during his confirmation hearing. eric, arthel, back to you. eric: and, of course, mike pompeo waits as head of the cia, that's a big one perhaps this week.

thank you. arthel. arthel: we have a fox news alert on a deadly shooting at the rolling oaks mall in san antonio. happening shortly after 3:30 central time there, a shopper inside the mall told us that he heard, told reporters down there that he heard six shots and saw people fleeing the scene. officials have asked everyone inside the mall there to shelter in place. of course, police have locked down the mall, and they've asked everyone tstay away from the area. of course, you've got concerned family and friends gathering outside that mall trying to learn any details they can. local reporters are telling us that police are searching for a second suspect in the deadly shooting, one suspect is in custody. when we get further details on that shooting there at the rolling oaks mall in san antonio, we are give them to you. we will give them to you. and meanwhile, the women eat march on washington drawing unexpectedly large numbers of protesters, more than one million people in cities
3:07 pm
worldwide hitting the streets yesterday. in more than 900 demonstrations. all sending a message to the new president on his first full day in office. protesters chanting against his policies, his personality, vowing not to let his agenda go unchallenged. garrett tenney has more now from washington. garrett? >> reporter: the goal of this march was to send a bold message to president trump on his first full day in office that women's rights are human rights. and while organizers said these marches were not anti-trump demonstrations, here in d.c. it was clearly a driving force for a lot of the crowd. many were extremely offended by comments mr. trump made during the election, particularly the leaked "access hollywood" video and said they were nervous about what he may do as president. hollywood also turned out in the force with celebrities like america ferrer rah making it clear they will continue protesting against president trump. >> the platform of hate and division assumed power yesterday.
3:08 pm
but the president is not america. we are america! >> reporter: we also saw hundreds of thousands of common be straiters participate in sister marcheses across the country and around the globe to voice their concerns as well. on fox news sunday, incoming white house chief of staff reince priebus tried to reassure those demonstrating. >> i can tell you president trump wants to be president for all people including every one of those marchers yesterday. and i think over time, i think many of those people are going to be very proud of this president. >> reporter: president trump weighed in on the marches as well tweeting this morning: watched protest yesterday but was under the impression that we just had an election. why didn't these people vote? celebs hurt cause badly. a couple hours later, he added: peaceful protests a hallmark of our democracy. i recognize the rights of people to exprison their views -- express their views. mr. trump made unity and healing a key part of his message in his
3:09 pm
inaugural address. arthel: garrett tenney, thanks. eric? eric: it sadly has been a deadly weekend down south now, another round of powerful weather expected to strike much of that region. this as the death toll in georgia now glows, we're told -- grows, we're told, to at least 1 people following a devastating tornado there. and in mississippi a second twister's been blamed for four other deaths. jonathan serrie is live in adele, georgia, tonight with the very latest and some of that horrible damage behind you. hi, jonathan. >> reporter: hi, eric. i'm in a rural area outside of adele, cook county. you can see all the scattered debris here, there was a thursdayly here and then a warehouse -- nursery here and then a warehouse. you can see the sheet metal scattered in the heavy winds, and not far from where i'm standing, there is a mobile home park that was hit during the early predawn hours.
3:10 pm
we're told that half of those mobile homes were destroyed, and you mentioned the fatalities in georgia? well, seven of those fatalities took place in the area of that mobile home park. earlier today georgia governor nathan kneel was on the -- nathan deal was on the phone with president trump, mr. trump expressing his condolences and promising his help for these hard-hit areas. nathan deal has declared a state of emergency here in cook county and six other georgia counties, promising whatever resources are available to help folks here get back on their feet. but as you can see from all of this damage here, it's going to take a long time for folks to pick up the peaces. just an idea of how intense the winds were from this suspected twister that came through this area, you can see how this metal destruction held to the ground by concrete was just pulled up out of the ground, just twisted
3:11 pm
here, and so that's what residents here are dealing with, those who did not lose loved ones have a lot of property damage to deal with. but we're told that neighbors are helping neighbors pick up the pieces, and state and federal officials are promising whatever support they can give to help these hard-hit communities rebuild. eric: eric it's amazing when you see the concrete just ripped off by the power of the wind, and certainly it's a miracle and amazing that the death toll isn't higher. jonathan, thank you. arthel: well, meanwhile, president trump taking steps to smooth things over with the cia after a war of words with the agency's last director. we'll talk to a former cia officer about the next person in line for the job. eric: and a jetblue flight, well, it was forced to land unexpected hi in florida. what happened -- unexpectedly in florida. what happened? a passenger found a handwritten note onboard. we'll have the latest on all that. ♪ ♪
3:12 pm
when i first started working with capital one, my dad called them up and asked for "the jennifer garner card" which is such a dad thing to do. after he gave his name the woman from capital one said "mr. garner, are you related to jennifer?" kind of joking with him. and my dad was so proud to tell her, "as a matter of fact, she is my middle daughter". so now dad has the venture card, he's earning his double miles, and he made a friend at the company. can i say it? go ahead! what's in your wallet? nice job dad.

he held what is called a top floor meeting with the top defense department officials. and a flight from newark, new jersey, to the dominican republic is grounded halfway to its destination, landing in florida yesterday after a passenger found a handwritten bomb threat onboard. officials cleared the plane, the search came up empty. and there are more encouraging signs for former president george h.w. bush and his wife, former first lady barbara, days after they were admitted to a houston hospital. the 41st president could be moved out of the icu in the next day or two. you know, he had some breathing problems. mrs. bush given the option to be discharged today, but we're told she chose to stay an extra 24 hours in the hospital. she had severe bronchitis and, of course, our best wishes and thoughts to them both for a complete recovery. they are, indeed, a remarkable couple. well, it also is a very sad day for major league baseball,
3:17 pm
yordana ventura has died following a tragic car crash. ventura was known for his 100 mile-an-hour fast ball, and he helped the royals reach the world series in 2014. rob, this is the latest in what's been a string of deaths of major league players in both car and boat crashes. >> that's right. and this appears to be a bizarre happenstance, this one, eric. two unrelated car crashes on the same night in the same country killed two major league ball players, one current, one retired. both accidents happening in the dominican republic, the native country of both of these players. 25-year-old star pitcher jordan that ventura was killed on a highway just north of the capital city early this morning. you can see the truck that he was traveling in in a photo we're going the pull up here in a second. unclear at this time exactly what happened or if ventura was driving at the time. and also killed overnight
3:18 pm
33-year-old andy marte, a former major league infielder, killed when the mercedes he was driving in slammed into a house. marte played with braves, indians and diamondbacks from 2005-2010 and spent his last two seasons playing ball in korea. both these accidents happening about 50 miles apart. ventura was a powerhouse pitcher known for his 100 mile-per-hour fastball and explosive attitude, he was one of the driving forces that led the kansas city royals to their first world series in decades back in 2014. he pitched twice this that series. he won both of the games, and although the royals would lose in seven games, a heartbreaker, they would be back the following year and beat the mets. and today royals fans started a headacheshift memorial to ventura outside their ballpark in kansas city. such a sad accident, a guy. >> his prime this, 25 years old.
3:19 pm
two other major league, former major league baseball players have died in car accidents in the dominican republic since the year 2000, that makes a total of four. in 2015 the world health organization says the d.r. has the highest traffic accident death rate in americas at 29.3 out of every 100,000 inhabitants. eric: and, of course, the marlins' ace, jose fernandez, was killed in that horrible boat crash in miami bay. rob, thank you. arthel? >> well, president trump -- >> i just wanted to really say that i love you, i respect you, there's nobody i respect more. you're going to do a fantastic job, and we're going to start winning again. arthel: president trump paying a visit to cia headquarters yesterday, vowing to stand behind the agency. it comes just days after tense remarks between mr. trump and former cia director john brennan. the president suggesting brennan had something to do with the
3:20 pm
controversial leaked dossier earlier this month. >> i think that john brennan has a lot of things that he should answer for in regard to these leaked documents. i find the whole thing despicable. i think that it's unprogressal. unprofessional. i think perhaps he's bitter. you know, he was replaced the day before. he was not asked to hold over like clapper. arthel: and republicans now putting pressure on democrats to take a vote on brennan's replacement, kansas congressman mike pompeo would be the third cabinet nominee confirmed for the trump administration. mike baker's here, he's a former cia covert operations officer and the president of diligence llc, a global intelligence and security firm. mike, first, what did you make of president trump's first official visit to cia headquarters? >> well, let me, let me pick and choose my words carefully. i'm very glad that he chose to
3:21 pm
go over to langley. i'm very happy that he took the time to go over to cia headquarters to meet with the staff, a great -- obviously, i'm subjective, but a great bunch of people. i was hoping that that visit would simply be an opportunity for him to say i respect what you do around the world, i understand how complex and difficult it is, i look forward to working with you to keep america safe and protect our national security interests, shake some hands, move on. you know, i think it was a self-inflicted wound. it was unnecessary drama for him to stand there, the lobby in front of our wall where we keep our stars to remind us of all the people that have lost their lives this, and complain about the media and the number of people that showed up at the inauguration. that was unnecessary. but i am glad that he went to the trouble of going out to langley. arthel: so then how do you think morale inside of the agency as well as the relationship with president trump and specifically
3:22 pm
the cia will be moving forward? >> well, it operates on many different levels. it's a complex question that you ask is and an important one. look, the agency, the personnel of the cia, they just carry on. they do their business regardless of who's in the white house. because that's what you do. and so out there in the fourth and fifth world countries and all those, you know, difficult and challenging and hostile environments where our people work, they just march on regardless of who's in the white house, regardless of the issue or the story of the day in the media. at the same time, you know, people are human. and so, you know, they would like to think and they would like to believe that any occupant of the white house has, you know, a level of respect for them and won't litigate issues out in the open that could be discussed privately in, you know, in classified meetings.
3:23 pm
so this is a difficult situation. yeah, the comforting news is they just carry on with their job. the issue of john brennan leaving ahead of mike pompeo's confirmation, again, i would put that in the category of it's unnecessary drama. doesn't need to be happening. and is john brennan a political character? well, he's an appointee, so by definition, yes, there's a political aspect to his job. is he bitter? no, i don't think he's bitter. i think reince priebus is going out there and being a little bit, you know, involved in hyperbole. john brennan understands he wasn't going to be sticking around, as does the deputy director. but we could have had a smoother handover, i guess, is what i'm saying. i'm hoping for more discipline in the messaging, i'm hoping for more discipline in that communication going forward. i have no doubt that the incoming president respects the work of the cia. it's just right now you wouldn't
3:24 pm
necessarily know it from sort of the rocky start that we've had. arthel: so do you think the agents there at the cia, do you feel that they would, you know, as you said, they carry on? they're humans but, you know, everybody wants to hear job well done every now and then especially after the president had been admonishing the agents publicly, so you would like more from the president publicly. that being said, do you feel that that relationship can be mended, mike? >> well, yeah. and, again, i don't want to make too much of this. this is not like, you know, some finish it's not as bad as sort of the narrative that's being driven out there in some parts of the media that, you know, have an agenda to fulfill -- arthel: no agendas here. >> the smoothness of the transition, but the people, again, at the working level, they don't care. they get their tasking, they go out there and they do their job. but what i think is going to happen, this relationship
3:25 pm
between the president and the intel community is going to be defined going forward by what the -- [audio difficulty] not going to be defined by what the agency does, they're just going to get on with their job. but i think a track record in the near term of the president showing that he is paying attention to the intelligence, whether he questions it or not, and it's his job to question it. he should. but how he deals with it. i would just like to see him not litigate thing out in the twitter-sphere going forward when we're talking about sensitive issues related to national security. arthel: okay. basically, take whatever concerns and issues and questions you have offline and discuss it in public, i think is what you're saying there. mike baker, thanks for being with us via skype, and we'll see you again. eric: republican lawmakers are vowing to work on a plan to replace the affordable care act. coming up, how one major part of obamacare could change without any congressional action. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪
3:26 pm
3:30 pm
arthel: fox news alert, police in san antonio saying the shooting scene at the rolling oaks mall there is no longer active, but they're still searching for a second gunman. a first gunman is in custody. a shopper inside the mall told local reporters that he heard six shots and saw people fleeing the scene. this all happening shortly after 3:30 p.m. central time, just about three hours ago. san antonio's police chief saying this was the result of a robbery at k jewelers gone very wrong. >> what we have here is a robbery gone really, really bad. there were two individuals that robbed a kay jewelers store, they ran to the left and encountered two citizens who tried to intervene. one of those citizens was shot by the suspect, the other citizen who tried to intervene
3:31 pm
had a conceal-carry license, and he shot the suspect. the suspect was then transported. the second suspect, when the shooting started, he ran through the mall in the other direction shooting as he ran, and our understanding right now is that we have six other victims. arthel: so the rolling oaks mall in san antonio still on lockdown as police are searching for that second suspect that the chief just referenced there. and according to local reports, one person was killed and six injured. we'll keep you updated, probably will have more details on fox report. >> we're working in connection with the administration to have an orderly process of repealing obamacare and replacing it. eric: that, of course, was senate majority leader mitch alaska connell on working -- mcconnell on working with the new president for a replacement for obamacare. now we're learning more.
3:32 pm
here's kellyanne conway earlier today. >> will president trump stop enforcing the individual mandate? >> well, what president trump is doing, he wants to get rid of the obamacare penalty almost immediately because that is something that is really strangling a lot of americans, to have to pay a penalty for -- >> so he'll stop enforcing that mandate? >> he may. but, look, we want to make very clear to everyone that those who are relying upon coverage will not lose it. eric: this would mean individuals would no longer have to have insurance or pay that penalty if they don't. the editor-in-chief for the daily caller joins us. you know, vince, the administration can't repeal the legislation completely, but they can chip away with executive orders, and the president has signed his first executive order on this. >> that's right. to ease the burden on the american people that obamacare's created. and there's, obviously, a lot of questions over what that executive order means, and kellyanne conway, i thought, offered some more clarifying definition of that this morning
3:33 pm
by saying that the individual mandate may not be enforced anymore. i think that would go a long way towards beginning the process of untangling a law which ultimately really delivered in many ways the government to the republican party. this goes back to the tea party in 2010 and the midterms there and the beginning of the process for the rerepublicans to take the house and senate and ultimately the presidency. so much of it was wrapped up in obamacare, and its individual mandate is a forcing mechanism by the government that compels people to engage in the health insurance market. and it's not hard to see why the trump administration is eager to get rid of the individual mandate as a first step in getting rid entirely of obamacare. eric: yeah, you know, in terms of that first step, can what the president sign actually do that right mow? let me read you some of what that executive the order says. it's that washington gobbledygook. to quote: minimize the unwarranted and economic regulatory burdens and afford to repair the states more flexibility and control to create a more free and open health care market, to waive,
3:34 pm
grant exemptions from or delay the implementation of any provisional requirement of the act that would impose a fiscal burden on any state or a cost, fee, tax penalty or regulatory burden on individuals, families, health care providers, health insurers, patients. that sounds just by that executive order. >> right. and that's, again, the language is general, but that suggests to me that the white house is going to be paying specific attention to each of its agencies that are involved with this and trying to make sure that to whatever extent they can, whether it be not enforcing certain provisions or something else, that they're going to do that. again, to sort of ease the burden on people. i think there was a clear message in this though. president trump wanted to sign this as literally, i think, the third document that he signed as president in order to send a message that the promise that he made that he would repeal obamacare is already underway. eric: at the same time, the congressional budget office warns that 18 million people could lose their insurance in the first year. as, you know, the republicans
3:35 pm
and kellyanne conway, again, said no one will be basically thrown off, but there's no replacement, you know, at the moment, so how are they going to do that? tomorrow two senators are going to introduce the patient freedom act. i mean, this is not going to get signed, you know, in time, or will it? >> well, they clearly need to move on something quickly. i will say house republicans are proud to note that they passed some 400 -- or sent 400 health care bills up to try and get them in front of president obama. the better way program that, sorry, speaker paul ryan introduced last year in, i believe, july was an effort to try and come up with a comprehensive republican plan. so there are a lot of plans that are sort of on the book shelf right now, and it's going to be incumbent upon republicans to cobble them together quickly. now, republicans are not eager to get rid of the popular provisions, including offering insurance to people with pre-existing conditions. that leaves open questions like how is it possible that president trump is going to have
3:36 pm
a plan that is cheaper and more efficient if you can't get rid of some of the most costly provisions. and that's going to be the challenge republicans are going to have to tackle very quickly. eric: as you know, the president did promise that the pre-existing conditions would remain as well as the 26-year-olds would still be on their parents' policies. that would not be struck by the republicans. meanwhile, tomorrow we hear that the top republican leaders and others going to the white house for meetings. how fast do you think they can get this done? >> well, again, i do think there's a lot of legislation that's been kicked around by republicans. it would be possible for congressmen and senators to sort of put together a bill, but it's going to have to meet sort of all the demands that president trump has including, it seems at this point, getting rid of the individual mandate which has played such a huge role in making obamacare work to the little extent that it did in the first place. but, again, premiums have exploded under obamacare,
3:37 pm
deductibles have exploded under obamacare. so i think voters in general -- especially trump supporters -- are looking to the president to come up with something that's much better. because many of those people prefer the status quo rather than the ultimate government program they ended up with. eric: but finally, the democrats, senator bernie sanders tweeted this out: if mr. trump is serious about standing up for working families, he won't throw 20 million working people off health insurance. so, i mean, you've got a lot of pressure. the democrats certainly will use this against the white house and the republicans in both the house and the senate. so bottom line, what do you think will happen? >> well, they do -- they are under a tremendous amount of pressure which is why you keep hearing white house officials and surrogates say that nobody's going to lose access to insurance here. what that means in terms of practical realities, again, totally unclear because we're not staring at a plan. all we have are promises. and president trump has a lot to live up to if he's going to keep people insured and keep his democratic critics from finding a gap to hit him on. and they will hit him, the second one appears.
3:38 pm
eric: yeah. the first executive order is in, and there's a meeting at the white house we're told tomorrow, so it seems the gears are beginning to roll, but it may take some time. vince, thank you as always. >> eric, thank you. arthel: eric, a good samaritan getting caught up in a frightening ordeal, and the video, well, it's going viral. what this motorcycle had to go through to catch up to a suspected drunk driver. we'll show you the clip in its entirety. plus, the former first couple recovering well after a recent bout of respiratory illness as they continue to battle other health issues, dr. nina ratcliff weighing in ahead. ♪ ♪ mom, i just saved a lot of money on my car insurance by switching to geico. i should take a closer look at geico... you know, geico can help you save money on your homeowners insurance too? great! geico can help insure our mountain chalet! how long have we been sawing this log? um, one hundred and fourteen years. man i thought my arm would be a lot more jacked by now. i'm not even sure this is real wood.

3:44 pm
worrisome because bronchitis and pneumonia are serious especially as we get older. but the family spokesperson continues to give us good news. as you stated, george finish former president george h.w. bush is in stable condition. they do plan on moving him out of the intensive care unit in the next few days. and as you stated, the former first lady was given the option to go home, but she couldn't bear to leave her husband of 72 years. arthel: i don't blame her. what a great love story. >> it's extraordinary. arthel: president bush, he had pneumonia, and first lady bush, she had bronchitis. what's the difference, and what does it do -- >> right. it's not the same thing. pneumonia's an infection of your lungs that causes inflammation, a build-up of fluids, it causes mucus in the air sac, so it can prevent their lungs from doing their job which is to take in oxygen and get rid of carbon dioxide. we may have cough, we can have a fever, and this can continue on to becoming more difficult where we can have an infection that coarses throughout the body, and it can be deadly. that's an important thing people need to understand.
3:45 pm
we hear about pneumonia, but not as much attention is paid to it. every year a million american adults are sent to the hospital, and 50,000 do die. arthel: and what about bronchitis? >> it does affect the respiratory or system, but it affects the tubes that carry oxygen and carbon dioxide back and forth to the lungs. often times we see wheezing, it can be caused by viruses and bacteria similar to pneumonia, and when you're not really sure, you really need to seek some medical advice. arthel: how do you know it's not just a common cold, and especially if you're dealing with, you know, people of age, the elderly, and i think you told me that you also have to be concerned when this is happening to young children. so, again, how do you know that it's not just a common cold, like, okay, take some, whatever, cough medicine and go to bed and wake up in the morning -- >> first of all, we're in flu season, and that's very concerning. whenever we have a cough, difficulty breathing that's accompanied by fever, i strongly encourage you to get medical advice, because many times we
3:46 pm
may feel fine, but it may evolve into something more within a day or two days. we never want to be caught off guard. so it's important to go see a physician, see a nurse practitioner, see somebody that can really listen to your lungs and determine if you need further care. arthel: instead of letting it just sort of exacerbate -- >> right. and many times that's what we see, patients will come in days after suffering where if they had come in earlier, there could have been a different outcome. i encourage people, especially as you get older, you know, as for younger children, one of the ways i heard pneumonia being described is that it preys on the weak and the vulnerable. so we need to be cautious with that. arthel: and getting back to president bush and first lady barbara bush, so are they going to be okay? i mean, i know, you know, especially daddy bush, i'll call him, that he was dealing with a series of health issues. >> right. well, we know that he is resilient. he did jump out of the plane with a parachute on his 90th birthday, and he did just this summer lead a fishing trip with
3:47 pm
