10:00 am
being here. >> thanks. >> i'm on the live chat. "happening now" starting now. >> we start with a fox news alert. stocks surging and taking your 401(k) for ride. the dow up 200 points on a tax reform deal and a budget deal. >> we're covering all of news happening now! >> building that wall and having it funded remains an important priority to him. but we also know that that can happen later this year and into next year. >> the white house signalling they're ready to make a deal to avoid a government shut down. how will lawmakers react? >> and changes coming to the way your credit score is calculated. what you need to know. >> and -- >> sounds crazy but it's a treasure map from space. >> how going out of this world sparked the hunt for ship wrecks in the ocean deep. it's all happening now! >> we begin with this fox news
10:01 am
alert. lawmakers are optimistic about a budget deal to avert a government shut down at the end of the week. welcome to the second hour of "happening now." i'm jon scott. >> and i'm jenna lee. the stage is a bipartisan deal on the $1 trillion spending bill. we'll hear more about the white house press briefing starting in an hour. let's check in with mike emanuel on capitol hill. >> good afternoon. with president trump and the top advisingers expressing a willingness to take the border wall off the negotiating table for now, capitol hill sources are expressing confidence they will get a deal to continue funding the government. mitch mcconnell spoke about the negotiations. >> the talks have been part of a bipartisan process from the
10:02 am
start with appropriators continuing negotiations. i look forward to more productive conversations with senators, house colleagues at the white house to get this important work down soon. >> the top democrats here on capitol hill praise the president for taking the border wall off the negotiating table. chuck schumer called it good for the country so talks could tonight. nancy pelosi called the wall an obstacle to negotiations. while the wall is on hold, most expect money for border security to be in a final agreement. schumer sounded upbeat and hopeful. >> i want to say that it's good news that the president seems to be taking the wall off the table in the negotiations we're having on an appropriations bill this week. it would remove the prospect of a needless fight over a poison pill proposal that members of
10:03 am
both parties don't support. >> the wall was not the only outstanding issue in these negotiations. sources on both sides say they believe they're getting closer to an agreement facing a friday night deadline. jenna? >> thank you, mike. >> so president trump shows he's open to a deal on border wall funding. but his senior adviser, kellyanne conway emphasized this morning the wall is still an important objective for this white house. >> building the wall remains a very important priority to him. he also reminded people that there's the flow of illegal immigrants over the border, but there's also flow of drugs. democrats don't talk about that. the president made it clear that drugs are poisoning our youth and others. building the wall and having it funded is an important priority for him. but that can happen later this year and into next year. >> so let's talk about it with sara westwood, the correspondent
10:04 am
for the washington examiner and phillip bump from "the fix". the mantra of the trump campaign is "build that wall." you can argue that's what put him in the white house. why is he willing to back away from it right now? >> fundamentally it's more important to keep the government running short term than getting the wall built right now. the wall isn't seen as a big priority for trump but not a big priority for the country or voters. fox news had a poll that showed that it was the number 6 priority in terms of what trump voters wanted to see out of the administration. it's not a terribly popular proposal. the white house probably wisely decided it wasn't worth having this fight, which will be coming at some point, it wasn't worth having it now when they have the issue of trying to get the government funded. >> so sara, is the president getting buffaloed by congress? maybe specifically democrats in
10:05 am
congress? is he backing away with a fight with chuck schumer and nancy pelosi? >> president trump recognizes this is largely a process fight. whether the wall is appropriated now, whether that is legislated later in the year. voters don't care if the can gets kicked down the road as he doesn't concede the fight completely. president trump doesn't want to shut down on his 100th day in office. republicans don't want a shut down because they want to look like a party that can govern and democrats don't want a shut down, either. they want to look like a party that can do other than obstruct trump's agenda. so everyone involved wants to avoid a shutdown at all costs. republicans are willing to concede appropriations specifically for the border wall and democrats are willing to concede that they can beef up funding for border security in general as long as the government stays open. >> phillips, maybe it's not a question you can answer. the last couple of government shut downs were blamed on the republican and the party took a
10:06 am
beating in public opinion polls. so why -- if democrats were threatening to shut it down over the border wall, why would the president not welcome the consequence beatings democrats might take in the polls? >> it's important to remember, yes, there's a government shut down in 2013. republicans were hammered for doing so and demolished the democrats in 2014. that's not the case that that decision hurt them in the polls. that said, i don't think it's a clear cut case here where the democrats would be blamed. democrats recognize the republicans control the house and the senate under that 60-person margin and they control the white house. so yes, this is a fight that looks like trump is backing away from but it's important to know that it's a fight he picked. he decided to try to introduce this idea. we heard the rumbles that he would ask for border wall security funding for obamacare
10:07 am
funding. so he picked the fight and now he's backing away from it. >> this comes against a backdrop of a booking stock market. wall street is on a tear right now. new highs for lots of companies. new highs for lots of indices. all part of the trump effect. is that short of what he looks to as maybe the salve in this? he may not get his border wall, but if he gets tax reform or whatever, wall street and most people's 401(k)s seem to be like what he's doing. >> market points to the trump and the highs that it's ridden since his inauguration as his policies are working. even though he will reach the 100 day mark without legislative accomplishments. the administration is grasping for 100-day accomplishment to promote. you'll likely hear about that
10:08 am
saturday when he has his rally in pennsylvania. that's one of the few tangible things he can point to because the first 100 days is measured in legislative accomplishments for presidents, he doesn't have those so they've had to look nor alternatives. >> he will tell the crowd we will build the way some day. sara and phillip, thank you. >> in washington d.c. for a moment. more on a developing story that started the first hour of "happening now." general mike flynn under the congressional microscope as lawmakers on the house oversight committee get their first chance to review classified documents about his foreign contacts. now the ranking members of the committee says what he learned was extremely troubling. catherine herridge joins us live with more on what we learned today. catherine. >> thank you, jenna. the members were in the security
10:09 am
facility to review the classified records from the defense intelligence agency. the records outlined the foreign contacts of former national security adviser mike flynn. based on what the men saw this morning on capitol hill, they believe it's likely that flynn violated 18 usc, 10001, a federal statute where a individual knowingly and materially makes a false statement. >> i see no information or no data to support the notion that general flynn complied with the law. >> that will be left up to others to decide. we want to know his exposure. but i agree with the chairman. i mean, he was supposed to get permission, he was supposed to report and he didn't. >> the congressmen are talking specifically about a trip mike flynn made in december of 2014 to moscow where he was paid in excess of $45,000 by r.t. or
10:10 am
russia today. this is the main propaganda arm for the russian government. during that trip, he dined with vladimir putin. in addition, this letter was sent to the white house asking for records about flynn's security review to become national security adviser. they had received a response and the the white house said they're unable to provide the reports or referring the committee to the defense to see whether flynn fully complied with his security clearance application. one democrat on the house government oversight committee told us earlier they think this issue is so much bigger than just flynn. >> what we saw this morning raises a lot more questions. there's more smoke. i called for an independent investigation. this only reinforces my belief that we need one. >> a lawyer for mike flynn has given a statement to the daily caller where he says that mike flynn fully discussed what the
10:11 am
defense intelligence agency, his 2015 trip to moscow and briefed afterwards. he said it's very important to pay attention to the language that people are using. what the congressman said this morning, they saw no evidence that flynn had declared the payment from that trip from r.t. in his security clearance renewal. that is a slightly different thing than saying flynn went to defense intelligence agency and told them they were making the trip, whether he disclosed the payments really is an unknown to the government. >> interesting. a lot more to learn on all of that. catherine, thank you. >> you're welcome. >> a fox news alert. stocks are surging for a second straight day. look at the dow. over 21,000. up 250. strong earnings and optimism about tax reform contributing to a second 200-plus point day on wall street after the first round of voting in the french
10:12 am
presidents -- presidential election. >> and a lawsuit claims that a school class violated the constitution. we'll ask the question. and something is awrong with the u.s.-canadian border. a milk showdown. president trump is weighing in. what it could mean for american dairy farmers and why they may not be the only ones impacted. ugh! heartburn!
10:13 am
10:14 am
10:15 am
no one burns on my watch! try alka seltzer heartburn relief chews. they work fast and don't taste chalky. mmmmm...amazing. i have heartburn. alka seltzer heartburn relief chews. enjoy the relief. >> jon: now to a new lawsuit ohio a bible classes that been given for decades in mercer county, west virginia. the weekly class is not funded by the schools or mandatory but almost every student attends. two residents with school-age children just filed a suit in federal court claiming the class violates the first amendment of
10:16 am
the constitution. let's take a look at the issue with gregg jarrett, news anchor and attorney. how could a voluntary bible class violate the constitution? >> a public school is government action. right? the first amendment says the government may not establish religion, so the question becomes is this school -- are they endorsing or advocating actively a particular religion over another? the plaintiffs say yes. the supreme court has said we will ban public schools from initiating or sponsoring religious activity. jon that doesn't mean, you know, that a school has to be a religion-free zone. you can pray as long as you do it privately and don't force others to do it. you can teach a class on religion as long as you teach the history of it and you're not advocating religious doctrine. the plaintiffs say that's what they're doing. arguably a violation of the
10:17 am
constitution. >> jon: but if the class is voluntary? >> doesn't matter. the plaintiffs are saying three things. first of all, it's voluntary. but yeah, they're being forced to attend. it's an electives. there's no other electives. they cite the case of one little girl that was bullied and taunted because she chose not to attends and she had to go to a different school district. her parents took her out. finally, they're pointing to the curriculum itself and say look at what they're teaching. they're endorsing the ten commandments. they're saying everything in the bible is the absolute truth and did in fact occur. arguably that crosses the line. i think the plaintiffs may win this lawsuit in federal court. >> i want the take a look at
10:18 am
another lawsuit, this filed by kirk ikenwald from newsweek. he has epilepsy. he is the subject of a new civil lawsuit. so if the guy who is facing criminal charges now he's got this civil suit to deal with. >> yeah. two different sets of criminal charges. one in federal court, one in state court. principally that he engaged in aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. the deadly weapon here is his computer. a plethora of evidence on his computer that indicts him. that he knew that a strobe can cause an epileptic seizure and
10:19 am
he knew kirk ikenwald was an epileptic. he sends a tweet that says, "you deserve a seizure for your posts" around suddenly the strobe comes on. his wife is there, sees what happened. he's rushed to a hospital. he could have died. >> jon: this is so curious. when we looked at this case the first time, a tweet as a deadly weapon. >> you know what, jon? it's very much like the plaintiffs attorneys say. it's very much like bomb or anthrax in the mail to a recipient. the intent to harm. think about the unibomber case. kirk ikenwald was physically harmed by this. the victims of the unabomber were harm. prosecutors say it's the same thing. >> so the burden of proof is pretty easy.
10:20 am
>> you're right. in a criminal case, it's beyond a reasonable doubt that is high difficult burden. in a civil case, it's lower. it's preponderance of the evidence. after this became public, more than 90 people sent tweets with strobes again to curt ikenwald. now all of those people could be criminally charged in federal and state court with the same thing. aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. their computers, their tweets, their strobes. they can also be sued and the attorney for curt ikenwald says we're thinking about suing those other people. by the way, ikenwald is not doing it to enrich himself. he promises to give all of the money he gets from these lawsuits to the epilepsy foundation. >> quite a story. thank you. >> thank you.
10:21 am
>> jon: jenna? >> jenna: your credit score, to look or not to look. better look. there's a new scoring system. coming up, how to make it work in your favor and boost your credit score so you don't shell out more money. the national rifle association in california taking aim at state gun laws. ahead, the group strategy to fight them. per roll

10:24 am
>> jon: right now president trump is getting ready to head to atlanta where he will attend the national rifle associations annual convention friday. that trip has the nra affiliate in california is suing that state over its gun control laws. william la jeunesse live with more. >> gun advocates are firing back with a burst of six lawsuits
10:25 am
aimed at overturning a sweeping set of bills signed last year by governor jerry brown. the first case deals with the state's ban on a most popular. the ar-15 with the easily reloadable detachable magazine. those are now illegal and owners now need a special tool to reload their rifle. the lawsuit says this is unconstitutional. not just because it infringes on the second amendment but it will do nothing they say to stop violent criminals. lawmakers acted after the shootings in san bernardino and orlando making it owners to transfer or sell these assault rifles including to their own children. each owner of an existing rifle must register it with the state. the california rifle and pistol association affiliated with the nra plans to have more lawsuits challenging additional state requirements. outlawing any magazine that can hold more than ten rounds of ammunition and another law
10:26 am
mandating a background check on anybody wanting ammunition. the gun group waited till now until we aed a full supreme court with the appointment of judge neil gorsuch who is seen like antonin scalia as a friend of the second amendment. >> jon: what a story. william la jeunesse. >> jenna: now credit bureaus are rolling out a new scoring system this fall. the vantage scorer is not new itself but a new generation of how to read the credit. the model is being developed by the top three companies and credit scores will look at your borrowing activity overtop. john ultheimer is here with us. what is your credit score? don't answer that. asking that is like the most important thing ever. we do we feel that way?
10:27 am
>> asking about your credit score is like asking how financially responsible you are. some people do not like that question because they may have skeletons in their closet. my credit score is good. that means i'll be borrowing money at low interest rates. >> flash it on the screen or something. it's interesting though, right? that you feel that way about something that is determined by people you don't know. that's where i'd like to start. who judges our credit? what are these companies and these people that come out with these measurements? >> yeah, so equifax, experion and trans union formed vantage score, a credit scoring system or platform. they're on the fourth generation of this particular scoring. the scoring is used by lenders to determine whether or not they want to do business with you and
10:28 am
under what terms. a credit score is like a numeric grade that you get from a test. >> that's why you feel judged, right? you want to make sure you get the best grade and do the best that you can. it can impact so many areas of your life. so what do viewers need to know about what is new with this iteration and how to they make sure that they keep their credit score healthy if there's a new way to look at their history? >> historically credit scores have looked at the credit report and were worried about balances from the prior month, not necessarily what they were a year ago or two years ago. that's different. that will change this fall with this new version of the score. it's going to look at the chronology or trajectory of balances over time to determine if you're someone that maintains low or responsible balances on your credit cards or if you're somebody that is constantly banging up against the credit limit, which makes you look morris i can to borrowers which
10:29 am
means a lower score, which can mean higher interest rates on loans in the future. >> jenna: what if you're the sort of person that uses one or two credit cards because they get points because that's what's being sold to us these days. so my balance is high but i pay it off. i don't carry the debt with me. does that mean somebody to get airplane miles or points at the store that person will be hurt by the new way of reading, the history you carried months and months ago? >> you just described my credit card usage exactly right. i'm a transactor meaning i use my credit card, i use it a lot because i like the rewards, but i pay it in full every months so i never carry a balance or revolve from month to month. my profile from my risk perspective is very low. the likelihood of me missing payments is nonexistent. so people like me and you and others who tend to use cards,
10:30 am
earn the points and pay them off, using them responsibly, they're going to have a higher score under the newer system and be rewarded by doing so versus someone that is carrying large balances, making a minimum payment, paying massive interest on the balance they carry. those folks are a ticking time bomb. these credit scoring systems are now going to penalize that particular boworrer type. >> if there's one thing our viewers can do to improve their credit score, what would that be? >> the most actionable thing is to turn a credit card to zero. pay it down. if you can't pay it off, pay it as low as you can get it and as quickly as possible. every months that chronology is rolling. so what you did last month,the month before is now going to become very meaningful in your score.
10:31 am
thanks, john. next time i'll share my credit score. we can be equal. jon, you will, right? >> jon: not a problem. >> jenna: thanks, john. >> jon: u.s. and iranian officials face-to-face in vienna today. what happens in those meetings after weeks of tough talk from the trump administration. what if the president's first 100 days went differently? what they could have pursued right after the inauguration. look closely.

10:35 am
>> jon: this is a fox news al t alert. we're awaiting the white house daily briefing. there could be reaction about the nuclear agreement between iran and the u.s. it's the first chance of speaking face-to-face with i ran after a week of rhetoric. rich edson has more. >> good afternoon. the u.s. and the western allies, china all meading today to see if iran is sticking to the nuclear deal. iranian government sources are claiming that iran is adhering to the nuclear deal, but the other side, namely the united states, is of course not. the state department meanwhile says the administration has real concerns about the iran nuclear agreement. it's in the middle of a 90-day
10:36 am
review right now on the agreement and bringing in a broader context. not just iran's nuclear behavior but in the context of missile launches, destabilizing behave your and funding of extremism. the next move on the deal is held up waiting for the end of this review. >> once we have finalized conclusions, then we'll be ready, we believe, to better meet the challenges that iran poses to the region. until the review is completed, we're going to add her to the ajpoa and make sure that iran is held strictly to their requirements. >> the state department announced the review last week. the united states still continues to pressure iran through the existing deal frame work. >> there's a lot of room for
10:37 am
better enforcing this deal and making iran accept that first it's not going to get away with this low-level cheating. at the same time, getting a reward for things that it shouldn't be rewarded about. >> weeks after the inauguration, the trump administration has initiated new sanctions against iran. they were outside the frame work of the nuclear deal. instead, in response for what the administration says i was iran continued missile tests and support of extremism around the world. >> jon: love to know what goes own in that room. thanks. >> jenna: and president trump gets ready to mark 100 days in office. a column in the "wa explores ho three months could have been different. jerry is here writing the sum of mr. trump's divisive actions made it easier for democratic
10:38 am
activists to create pressure to take a never cooperate position. the more important question is whether it's too late to adopt a different approach. the answer, of course not. after fewer than 100 days have past, the president and his team are pivoting towards a more centrist approach. let's bring in scott jennings. great to have you here with us. you have a fascinating background and interesting perspecti perspective. i'd like to have a conversation rather than a debate. this is sort of an arbitrary deadline that the media is grading the president. but for our viewers, what do you think, scott, is the biggest lesson that you learned about the trump administration in the first 100 days? >> one thing that we learned about donald trump, he's willing to stick with his core principles. one of the things that you read,
10:39 am
he pursued things he ran on in the campaign. the hypothesis is that he shouldn't have take on those priorities. but everybody that voted for donald trump is willing to stuck with trip trip. he's solidified his core base. there were a lot of republicans that were weary of coming home. they did come home and he's proving to them he's one of them. he has to pick up more democrat and independent support. he has time to do that. one thing we learned is loyalty to the base is effective once you look at the polling. >> interesting. a lot there, scott. interesting thoughts there. what do you think is the biggest lesson as you see it? >> you know, i think that president trump did not anticipate how difficult it was going to be to bring together his own party. i think he came in assuming that the republican party had the white house and controlled both the house and the senate. so it would be simple to be able
10:40 am
to bring forth his agenda, get it done quickly and everybody would be on the same page. what he's learned is that that is not the case. there's factionization that made it difficult to get the healthcare deal done. so president trump i think has learned that in order for him to pursue the other goals that he has including tax reform with the border adjustment tax, infrastructure spending, he's going to need to bring in the democrats in order to get these things done. it's not too late for president trump to pivot but may be too late for the democrats. they have gone -- my colleagues have gone hook, line and sinker and difficult to say yeah, we want to work with him now. >> jenna: talk about that you had an open question and came to similar conclusions. there is the president trump that has to honor his base but he has to be open to worker with
10:41 am
others. capri, this never cooperate democrat, is that never cooperate democrat here to stay as you see it? >> i think the short term. here's why. gerrymandering -- and president obama touched on this yesterday at the university of chicago. because of gerrymandering in this echo chamber that we live in, democrats and republicans alike, the threat is from a primary. the democrats because president trump did lead with some of the more controversial things as the "wall street journal" said about the travel ban and things of that nature, it put the democrats in a position to say we're never going to work with you on anything. the fear is that if they do try to reach consensus and work with president trump, they will get primaried by the progressive left. and at the end of the day, these people think about keeping their jobs. >> jenna: all politics is local. back to that, scott. how doesn't trump navigate honoring his base but reaching
10:42 am
across to never-cooperate democrats? that sounds like an impossible mission. how does he do it? >> there's 12 democrats in the house that went for districts that went for donald trump and there's democrats in red states up for re-election. there may be a few people there willing to work for the president. you have to remember two important things. number 1, the house democrats and the senate democrats are run by extremely partisan actors. schumer and pelosi keep a tight grip over their conferences. it would be hard to allow people to stray. as capri pointed out, you have an enraged democratic grass roots base out there. the concept that they're mad at what trump is doing ignores the fact that they're already mad that he won in the first place. so the idea that they would allow democrats to do deals with donald trump in the first 100 days doesn't fly with me. the rage didn't start when he took office. it started on election night
10:43 am
when they realized they lost. >> a lot to think about. thanks, scott and capri. >> thank you. >> jon: using a treasurer map to scour the ocean sounds like a good way to first lost riches. wait till you hear where the map came from. it's from out of this world.

>> jon: exploring space is not only about looking to the future and exploring space. it can give us a window into our past and life here on earth. during his 34-hour space flight on the final mercury mission in
10:47 am
1963, astronaut gordon cooper created a map of anomalies that he saw in the ocean. now a ship wreck hunter is using it. this is from the discovery channel and star of the docu series, cooper's treasure airing tuesdays at 10:00. it's on tonight. darrell, good to have you on. a fascinating story. gordon keeper, the youngest of the mercury 7 astronauts and holds a record for a single space flight. he's orbiting the earth and looks at the caribbean and sees what? >> he's familiar because of his passion and interest in ship wreck exploration that he identified unusual growth patterns and reef areas that
10:48 am
might be that of ship wreck material. he had an incredible camera on board at the time that he spoke up as well as well as his a cute vision. according to one of the nasa space engineers, he had 20/10 vision and could identify things from space that most people couldn't do. >> jon: so he created this map while in space and buttressed it when he came back to earth and didn't talk about it for decades, right? >> yes. he took a notebook and took down gps coordinates. when he went to earth, he put together a very large sea chart that we call the treasure chart from space. with that, he investigated with his group of buddies from the real 8 corporation. one of them was kip wagner and dan thompson. he got together with these guys and they went out and investigated this sort of these
10:49 am
anomalies. excitingly enough, he found a lot of ship wreck material and he gave me detailed illustrations of that. we worked on those together, but we didn't get to finish 90% of the stuff that he located originally from space. now i'm on that quest now by myself because of his passing so quickly back in 2004. >> jon: yeah, you met him when you were a younger man, when is a story in it so. but you two became friends. he entrusted you with this map before he died. you check out what? five of the sites that he identified from space and how many of them turned out to be ship wrecks? >> well, he has a big sea chat we call the treasure map from space. he has 60 or more circles areas that he isolated in space. then he went down and investigated ten. we took one of the ten and we picked out five areas in that
10:50 am
one anomaly area and we've identified positively ship wreck material in all five and in some cases a lot more than we expected to find. so we're five for five and woe believe we're on to something big and historic. could be epic. >> jon: one of these ship wrecks, the sites could include christopher columbus' lost fleet. >> we are on the columbus trail. so we're still doing investigative work on that. you'd have to watch and see. it's moving in that direction. >> jon: that is cool stuff. thanks, darrell. the late gordon cooper, fascinating stuff. we'll be watching. >> thanks. >> jenna: you scuba dive. >> jon: i do. >> jenna: we should go, don't you think. >> jon: i wonder if he will give us a copy.
10:51 am
we should have asked. >> jenna: maybe next time. a lawsuit to our dairy farmers estimated at $150 million and what is turning into a milk trade war with canada. wait till you hear, this we have that story ahead. you don't let anything keep you sidelined. that's why you drink ensure. with 9 grams of protein and 26 vitamins and minerals. for the strength and energy to get back to doing... ...what you love. ensure. always be you.

>> hello. i'm melissa francis. we're awaiting a white house briefing amid reports that michael flynn may have broken the law regarding dealings with russia and turkey. plus, the senate intelligence committee meeting next hour. we'll see if they have any update on the flynn story. the u.s. put a nuclear submarine in a south korean port.
10:55 am
