so much brian kelly. >> you know i love you, genuinely one of the kindest people i have ever met. >> i love this show love, we will see you online, foxnews.com/outnumbered, now "happening now" ." >> jenna: we start with a fox news alert, the trump administration is expected to address breaking developers on pending votes in the house for spending and healthcare a short time from now when the daily white house briefing begins. >> jon: we will take you there live. we also anticipate hearing about the crisis with north korea. we're covering all of the news "happening now" ." congress reaches a deal to fund the government through september. are we seeing a new bipartisanship in washington? and new science of g.o.p. unity on healthcare, do republicans have the votes they need? plus, the u.s. sets to test another interdental -- intercontinental ballistic missiles with nuclear capability as the pressure on north korea

he thought. it is all "happening now" ." >> jenna: to begin with a fox news alert and a fresh display of bipartisanship on capitol hill, advancing vote on the spending bill while we are also seeing signs perhaps of g.o.p. unity on healthcare. had to add that disclaimer because you just don't know these days. welcome to the second hour of "happening now," i am jenna lee. >> jon: i'm jon scott. as we learn about the big boats taking place in congress we await reaction from the other end of pennsylvania avenue, the white house daily briefing will kick off about 30 minutes from now. follows a busy weekend with the administration and the president touting the first 100 days of the trump presidency. let's begin with chief congressional correspondent mike emanuel live on capitol hill with more on the latest going on there, mike? >> good afternoon. the serious effort to get things done in congress this week, finding the government through september, also a serious push to get the final book 8 vote to push healthcare reform on the

house floor. >> that has long been our priority, unfortunately, because of obamacare, we continue to see premiums increase, co-pays, 1 out of 3 counties in america only have one plan available to them, so we need to be taking steps to ensure that everyone has a better healthcare future in this country. >> on the new government funding bipartisan agreement, speaker ryan says "america will be stronger and safer because of this government funding bill. it acts on president trump's commitment to rebuild our military for the 21st century and bolster our nation's border security to protect our homeland. there is no funding for the border wall, no money for a proposed deportation force, no cuts to stationary cities and no cuts to planned parenthood. one sticking point that has been resolved was health benefits for retired coal miners and lawmakers from coal country states like west virginia, kentucky, and ohio are pleased that issue will be resolved when the legislation is passed.

>> it means thousands of coal mining families, retirees, widows of coal miners can rest assured that there won't be every four months of your healthcare coverage expires. imagine that. you get a letter in the mail every 3-4 months to say six weeks from now, your insurance is going to expire. this is a group of people more likely to have health problems than your average 40-year-old so this is really, really important. >> when you take a look at the $1.07 trillion government funding package, there's always something folks can like and certain aspects folks do not like. it is called a compromise. >> jon: that does not happen very often in that building where you are. mike emanuel, thank you. >> this has been a big priority for the president but also republicans in the house could we have known obamacare is simply unsustainable. it's collapsing under itself, and we have to take drastic action to repeal and replace it.

one of the big things that is being discussed and is currently in the bill, i know the controversy you mention with pre-existing conditions, that is in the bill, but there also gives some sensibility to the states so that was an important -- obamacare assembly one-size-fits-all which we knew would not work. what always works in california may not work in florida or south dakota, so this bill offers some choices in with tha that, hopefully will give some lower cost in again choices for consumers. >> jenna: that was deputy white house secretary sarah huckabee sanders earlier on our program talking about what was -- the thinking was, that bipartisan agreement to keep the government up and running in the agreement when it comes to healthcare. that would be strictly with the republicans. let's bring in fox news contributors, former campaign manager for president ronald reagan. great to have you here, while we watch this drama play out, we don't have anything yet when it comes to healthcare but you hear from the white house around

11:00 eastern time, here's the thinking behind what we know of the amendment or bill so far. we will be waiting to see what sean spicer has to say. what is your impression? >> i think they are making it up as they go along. they were able to as large as it appears the freedom caucus but d they will not vote, so i can ony survive 22 defections, and even if they get it passed, it is dead on arrival in the senatf the bill in terms of what it does to healthcare, millions of people will lose coverage, there are limitations on what people will get. frankly, obamacare is problematic. this, in my judgment, is worse. >> jenna: ed? >> i'm arguing they are trying to get something to move forward and do not want it dead on arrival where it is today for the problem is the details, always the details of the bill. there is nothing to look at, nothing that a member of congress can read to make the

determination. >> jenna: we should be transparent with our viewers, we are not looking through the bill, we don't have that information. >> there was talk that freedom caucus killed it, it was 60-70 votes short. now the half the freedom caucus is in line, but i don't think you have 216 members on this thing. if i were the white house, i would say to bring me a sheet of paper with 260 names on it and move it forward. i think the president gets hurt dramatically if he does not have a bill get through here. i agree that the senate would not pass this bill today in any way, shape, or form. you basically need to cost it outcome a gigantic piece of legislation that needs to be done well. >> jenna: why do you think we see what looks like initially a repeat of what we saw several weeks ago? we don't know if it will get the same result or what will eventually happen with this bill, why do you think we are back here again? >> they want it dead, they want to get rid of it, as long as it is alive, they feel they can play with it and it senate and

move forward. a bunch of people who have never been through the process before, we have both been through it before, it's a long and tedious process. it took years to get obamacare in its final form, and in this particular case, you need to know what the details are. governors are going to have this gigantic medicaid bill, they have flexibility, what is the flexibility? you will not have enough money because you cut the stuff out. they have to make the cuts. no one is talking to the republican governors out there. the potential is there. if they don't make it carefully done with the 216 votes, they are asking for a big setback. >> jenna: at the same time, interesting to have these two stories on parallel tracks. the big spending bill that looks like it has bipartisan support, and if you look at the details of the bill because we actually do have some of that, you do see that both sides, all sides quite frankly, this is why the bill is expected to get through. why can't we do the same thing for healthcare? >> a different political

dynamic. if we close down the government, there is potentially a severe political blowback certainly what the republicans and even the democrats. in this case with healthcare, the republican majority where large measure is established is because of reaction against obamacare. the democrats are very much hoping to do the same thing with the republicans in 2018. it is much more of a zero-sum game. candidly, there is no real incentive to have the bipartisanship we see on spending. >> jenna: that sounds like politics as usual on both sides and that is something president trump that he was going to do, drain the swamp, things would be different with him as president. we are hearing the same sort of political calculations for all lawmakers. what about the american people? >> first of all, the president needs to know the details and go to the country and sell it. he could not do that because he doesn't know the intricate details because no one else does. for the treasury secretary to say it's a good bill or someone

else without knowing the details is a hard sell. i think at the end of the day here on the bipartisanship, this is a short term, five-month budget fix, everyone got a little piece of something. the big budget comes in october. the defense did not get what it want to, the president promised, he made a lot of compromises which is very positive in the supplement of but not willing to make, rises at this point in time. >> jenna: i'm curious about your thoughts on this final question with president trump that if we do nothing, this is going to collapse, and everyone is going to have to be brought to the table. is that feasible still? we certainly do not want to see that for our viewers or ourselves. what are the different scenarios? >> here is other scenario. senator schumer hasn't said if you just take obamacare and do some fixes to it, we democrats will participate. ed and i have both been involved in bipartisan legislation. it is tough to do. but there is no willingness if

it is the republicans so committed to repeal and replace that they cannot do bipartisanship. the problem is they do not have a bill. >> you can repeal, vote tomorrow to repeal, it is the replacement that is the big problem. equally important, a lot of people don't believe it's going to crash and burn. they still think it's going to work and like it. traditionally when you do a big piece of legislation, you give people something in this case, you take something away. >> jenna: would you say the president should sit back? >> if i was in the white house, i would let it go and let the tax bill go and work on the budget. if i get votes moving forward, i would do it later. >> jenna: interesting, see what sean spicer leads with to see what their priority is. >> i think they are pushing this through and it is at their peril. >> jenna: great to have you both, interesting conversation. it is healthcare, it is pretty serious. quick programming note on two new shows premiering on the fox news channel later today. "fox news specialists" airing for the first time at 5:00 p.m.

eastern time hosted by eric bolling, catherine and eboni williams. eric had an interview with president trump you do not want to miss which including the topic of healthcare, and here is a taste of it. >> healthcare, we are going to get that past. >> the one mistake i made with healthcare, we have one plan that has been going through, it's been getting better and better and better. somebody was saying, the people that voted for trump are not getting good -- they are going to get the greatest -- these are the greatest people. we're going to have a great plan or i am not signing it. i said from day one, the best thing i can do is let obamacare die and then come with a new plan. >> jenna: also tonight right after "special report" is suite 29 with martha mccollum debuting at 7:00 p.m. eastern time. >> jon: fox news alert on right 3 rising tensions with north korea. fox news learning that the u.s. is set to conduct another long-range missile test in the pacific just days from now. this as north korea threatens a

new contest that could come at any time. and congress takes action tomorrow debating a new round of sanctions against the rogue nation while the trump administration reaches out to asian allies in an attempt to contain kim jong-un. rich edson live at the state department for us now. >> good afternoon. the u.s. congress and house tomorrow will debate a new round of north korean sanctions, that is coming up tomorrow, bipartisan bill that tightens existing sanctions, economic sanctions, it also targets those who employ north korean slave labor, north korean shipping and requires the administration to determine whether north korea is a state sponsor of terrorism. this is working in concert with the administration strategy which is essentially to get other countries, namely china, to further enforce existing sanctions and to also isolate north korea economic and diplomatically. one analyst says the key to pressuring north korea is to get china to commit.

>> koreans have seen so many sanctions imposed on them by the u.n. that they are sort of blase by now. but indeed, if china actually starts to enforce them, then i think they sit up and take notice because that would be new. >> this is after the secretary of state on friday held a special meeting to the u.n. security council, it was designed to figure out ways to discuss pressuring north korea all part of the initiation effort to get the rest of the world's sense of urgency behind the north korean issue. the secretary called out china specifically as china makes up about 90% of north korean trade, however, china's response to that was that solving the nuclear issue on the korean peninsula does not lie in the hands of the chinese side. this very much continues to be an effort from this administration to push china. state department says it wants to see changes in north korean behavior within the coming months. secretary of state says he is willing to pursue this strategy of pressuring north korea

through sanctions and through other countries so long as north korea's program is manageable, but this is as north korea continues to develop its missile and nuclear programs. >> jon: we will see what sean spicer has to say when he stepped to the podium about 20 minutes from now. rich edson, thank you. coming up on "happening now," we will delve further into the north korea crisis with a former cia in a list was one of the world's leading authorities on north korea. why she think the rogue nation will can keep on testing if she discusses the move the president recently made that she said took many by surprise, that is coming up. >> jenna: a party in southern california inns in gunfire. [gunshot sounds] >> jenna: violent shoot out with the man who opened fire on a birthday party, killing one person and injuring several others. coming up, what his motives may have been and what we know now. plus new questions about the fbi and its ties to an x british spy

who wrote an unsubstantiated dossier on president trump. a lab report from our nation's capital coming up on that. ere we are awaiting their daily white house briefing such a start moments from now, we will bring it to you life and it begins. didn't recognize our grandson.

>> jenna: fox news earlier, we want to bring you to a breaking story out of dallas, texas, where we are getting initial reports of a first responder shot on the job responding to a call in dallas. we have conflicting reports from different local affiliates in the area that this might be a firefighter, paramedic, we are looking for more information but apparently, when this first responder responded to a call, someone opened fire on them and they were wounded. police are searching for a man, the suspect apparently armed with a rifle, and that is what we know at this time pair this is happening right in dallas, texas, and continues to develop as you can see, we are getting some of our live shots in the area. as we learn more, we will bring

that to you, but an active shooter situation from what is being described in dallas, texas, . >> jon: this fox news alert, a san diego pool party comes to a horrifying end. the gunman opens fired on a quiet due my credit event, killing one woman and wounding six others before police shot and killed him. his victims, all minorities. authorities say the motive is still unclear but they are not ruling anything out including a possible hate crime. and we are learning more about the condition of the victims now. we are told several people underwent surgery, some are still in critical condition, one man also broke his arm while running away from the scene. >> jenna: some new information on the russian investigation as the chairman of the senate judiciary committee chuck grassley says the fbi provided inconsistent information regarding its ties to crist do my christopher steele. he's a former british spy who apparently wrote that dossier claiming that they collected,

rising information on president trump. this comes just two days before fbi director comey is set to testify before that committee. our chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge live in washington with more. >> thank you, head of this week's highly anticipated public testimony, the republican chairman of the powerful senate judiciary committee sent this letter to fbi director james comey, accusing him of making inconsistent statements about the bureau's relationship with former british intelligence officer christopher steele. he wrote the anti-trump dossier and steele said it contain unverified information but was still published by buzzfeed and is the subject of legal action paired the fbi used the same dossier to justify surveillance warrants of a trump advisor during the 2016 campaign. senator grassley in the ranking democrat committee member dianne feinstein met with james comey for a closed classified briefing earlier this year and new documents provided by the justice department to the committee's conflict with that briefing. he writes, there appeared to be

material inconsistencies between the description of the fbi's relationship with mr. steele that you did provide in your breathing and information contained in justice department documents made available to the committee only after the briefing. some democrats say the allegations in the trump dossier have a lot of merits be of the raking democrat on the house intelligence committee adam schiff ran them into the record during the march 20 of russia hearing where comey testified along with the nsa director. >> is it possible that all of these events and reports are completely unrelated and nothing more than an entirely unhappy coincidence? >> yes. >> it is possible, but since it is possible, may be more than possible that they are not coincidental, not disconnected and not unrelated. >> in a new seven-page declaration, steele told the british courts that large sections of the dossier were unverified and said they were never meant to be public in any

form. >> jenna: thank you. >> jon: so we are awaiting the white house daily briefing. it is such a start about 9 minutes from now. when sean spicer stepped to the microphone, we will take you there live. whoa, this thing is crazy.

>> jenna: fox news earlier, quick update on the breaking news situation and dallas. we are learning from our affiliate in the area, fox 4 that a fireman has been shot in the southeast dallas neighborhood that you were looking at right now. there is a large police response and the downed police association says some of their officers are pinned down. it is our understanding based on what we are seeing and hearing that perhaps there is a suspect in the area, if not in the home and if fired upon, firefighters were responding to the call.

that is the initial information we have at this time. fox 4 news has been reporting that the fireman that was shot has been taken to baylor and is in surgery right now. don't have an update on his condition, but we do know he was wounded. there is an active shooter situation in dallas, texas. as we hear more, we will bring it to you. >> both the vice president and secretary of state have been going around the region in asia and announcing that the era of strategic patience is over. now, north korea has responded with not one but two ballistic missile test that failed, but still they went ahead with the test. doesn't that mean, since you said the era of strategic patience is over, that you have to do something? >> we do have to do something. we have to do something with partners in the region and globally. that involves enforcement of the u.n. sanctions that are in

place. it may mean ratcheting up this sanctions even further. it also means being prepared for military operations of necessary. >> jon: that is h.r. mcmaster, the president's national security advisor. with all the options on the table to deal with north korea's growing threat, the u.s. is preparing for a new test of an intercontinental ballistic missile two days from now. it comes as the house moves to vote on a new round of sanctions on the rogue nation as the effort to contain kim jong-nam testifies. joining us now is a senior research scholar at columbia university, weatherhead east asian institute, former cia senior north korea analyst and managing director for our group asia. it is great of you to be here. the missile test that the u.s. is conducting, clearly we are trying to get kim jong-un's attention. is it working? to see pay attention to that kind of thing? >> i think kim jong-un is playing due to my paying attention, he's very paranoid

and concerned about washington and controlling washington so when the trump administration says all options are on the table in week test icbm missiles, we will get his attention. >> jon: we are apparently getting ready to ratchet that sanctions even tighter on north korea. vote that be helpful and effective? >> i think it will be effective. sanctions have been in place for a couple years, but they're only about a year, so around took three years, but north korea has not been affected before because of enforcement issues. don't have enforcement on the ground. secondary sanctions is important, but this means probably going after chinese banks and entities doing business with north korea which would then cause strain with beijing. >> jon: the chinese have indicated to president trump the fact that they are willing to get a little tougher on north korea. do you see active signs of that other than blocking the cool shipment? >> i think we need to see, that is something that will take time. if china is really serious this time around, they did

unfortunately say many times in the past they would do it and enforced sanctions but we know that china has not been active in that. so we have to see where china really is if they are being serious. >> jon: the president has held off declaring china a currency manipulator, for instance, because he wants their help with this very problem. is that a fair trade-off in your view? >> i understand what trump administration needs to do is try to put maximum pressure on china and also give some incentives, economic incentives, but i am not sure. again, i am not overly hopeful that china will actually follow through, so i think the trump administration might be disappointed down the road. >> jon: do you see the north koreans testing and other nuclear device? they have been trying to test missiles. those test, as chris wallace was saying, they have not gone well. but another nuclear device, do you see them taking provocative

steps? >> absolutely. i think north korea has to follow through with my missile test and even a nuclear test. what they might consider or reconsider, the key question is will they test icbm's? that is the critical threshold for the united states, whether they successfully test an intercontinental listing muscle that can reach mainland united states. >> jon: they have said they are going to bolster their nuclear force to the maximum. they really are maintaining this bellicose attitude. that it would not seem is warranted on the part of a country that is really not all that strong militarily. >> what they have is nuclear weapons, and that is why it is really hard for kim jong-un to keep that up. i don't think he will give it u up. he is seeking legitimacy and spending the time tube perfect this that his father and grandfather have pursued, it has cost billions of dollars, and kim jong-un said himself that this is his mission.

we are in for a long road ahead, i think. >> jon: it sounds a little writing, some of the prospects, thank you very much. >> jenna: a bill is one step closer to becoming law in texas that would penalize sanctuary cities in the state and punish local officials who do not enforce immigration law. our legal panel takes it up. we are awaiting the daily white house press briefing such a start any moment from now. we will bring it to you live when it begins.

>> jon: all kinds of issues on the front burner when sean spicer begins the daily white house briefing just a few minutes from now, at least that is when it is scheduled. you have tax cuts, perhaps replacing and repealing obamacare. you've got this north korea situation. all of it is on the table. press secretary scheduled to be -- she's already running a few minutes late, but we will take you there live when it begins. >> jenna: to texas now, and they are one step closer to passing a ban on sanctuary jurisdictions in the state, that would hold local police chiefs and other officials accountable for not enforcing immigration laws. doug mckelway is life in washington with more on that. >> they have one of the toughest policies of any state regarding illegal immigration and this winter instituted a policy that denied states grant money to any texas city that provides

sanctuary to illegals. now texas is on the cusp of a tougher policy with expected passage of sb 4, 8 bill that would allow for the finding and even jailing of shares, police chiefs and mayors who do not follow federal immigration policy. >> one, and expose them to very high fines, about $25,000 per day, it could expose them to jail time for any sheriff or other official who adopts the century city policy, it can also subject the county or city or whichever political body it is to legal action in the event that they released somebody. >> the liberal enclave of austin, texas, is a sanctuary city, and it is right in the crosshairs of that legislation. >> to be clear, somebody that is in this country undocumented has committed a crime to the next civil violation, not a criminal violation, a civil violation. and our police, our local law enforcement personnel, their job

is to go out and apprehend people who are violating or suspected of violating criminal laws. >> the texas bill would also allow law enforcement to question any detained person about their immigration status. opponents of this essay it is the "show me your papers" bill, but supporters note it is not allowed police to question just anybody for the sole purpose of determining their immigration status. the texas senate and house have passed different versions of this bill and will likely be reconciled, passed and signed by the governor by the end of this week. it will be taking effect by september. supporters already expected it to be challenged in court. >> jon: for more on this, let's bring in our legal panel, john is a criminal defense attorney and a former prosecutor and criminal defense attorney. it sounds pretty astounding, the idea that the state could actually prosecute local officials for failure to uphold the law. >> astounding or genius because

this should have happened a long time ago. the state is now doing its part and saying, listen, it's not just up to the president of the united states to stem the tide of illegal immigration. the states can do their part, too appeared to make it a crime to fail to obey or cooperate with federal immigration authorities is a smart way to g go. >> jon: listen for a second to governor abbott, he says essentially we are a nation of laws and that is why he supports this bill, listen. >> when you look at the function of a government whether it is federal, state, or local, our primary function as government is to keep our people safe. it is an x usable for travis allen to do what he has done which is to release from jail people who have committed crimes against her alleged of committing crimes of sexual assault, sexual assault of minors, and many of those people back out on the streets, that is contradictory to the function of a government is supposed to do. >> jon: how do you -- what is your take on what the president

has to say there, does he have it wrong? >> but he is not considering is someone's fourth amendment right, and i have said this before, i will say it again. this is less about immigration and more about the constitution. what this bill is doing is forcing local law agencies to make a choice, either to comply with this bill or to comply with the constitution. if they don't comply with the bill, they are looking at being jailed up to a year or if they don't comply with the constitution, then they could be held liable for millions in a civil suit. it is not fair. the law enforcement, local law enforcement already have a toughen up job by having to try to get rid of violent crimes, real crimes in their areas, and now in addition to that, they are going to have to spread the resources, limited resources that they do have are going to have to now spread that and now try to advance immigration laws, federal immigration laws that the federal government should be paying for, not local government. >> jon: specifically, how would they be violating the

constitution? >> here's the thing. if they want an undocumented immigrant to stay in jail, then what they need to do is get a warrant fear what were just going to lay out as probable cause to believe that they are undocumented. that would give the local law agencies no choice but to comply, but what you have with an un-dump do and documented immigrant whose case is then suspended or dismissed or whatever the case is disposed o, there is no way you can hold somebody beyond the time that the law actually allows you to. that is where the constitution comes in. >> jon: joanna, what do you think about that? >> i think i have a constitutional right just like kate steinle did not to be killed by a violent longtime criminal, illegal alien in this country who was let go numerous times. let's also remember, the feds are not just plucking people off the street willy-nilly. if you come to the attention of i.c.e. authorities it is because there is a reason. if we don't work hand in glove together, we will never solve

this problem, that is what i think. >> this new bill is going to allow officers now to make up a reason to stop people then question them about their legal status. that is actually wrong. number two, yes, i agree, don't let undocumented immigrants who are violet out on the street, but if it is so important, get a warrant. get a warrant. get a warrant if you have an issue. >> if you think cops have the time to make up reasons to stop people instead of just stopping people -- because >> they do that now. they do that now. it is called racial profiling. >> jon: you can see why this issue is browsing so much attention in the state of texas. we will continue to keep an eye on this story and let our viewers know what happens there. thank you both. >> jenna: in the meantime, back to the breaking news out of texas today. in an area of dallas, southeast area of dallas where we are getting reports of an active shooter situation. as this has unfolded over the

last 40 minutes or so on our program, what we've been watching as this. the news initially was that a first responder or firefighter was shot by somebody that we don't know is the person that placed the call for the first responders to come, so we still have a question about that. was it the person that called that was also shot? we don't know and we do not know where the suspected shooter is. we do know authorities are looking for a man, and that is about all we know at the time. according to the dallas police association, officers are pinned down and from what we can see from our vantage point where you are seeing as well is that it looks like all of the emergency responders as well as police are focused on one particular home in the area. right now, according to our local fox affiliate on the ground, you have a firefighter in surgery at baylor hospital in the area. also our understanding of this neighborhood that there is some sort of training facility for firefighters, that may or may not be relevant. we are trying to piece together what we are learning so far.

still police have an active shooter and dallas, and looking for the suspected gunman who apparently has a rifle. that is all we know. we will bring you more as we get it. also in the area of texas not far from there, there are severe storms that hit over the last 24 hours and throughout the south this weekend. this system is heading east now, want to give you a heads up on the weather you can expect. also awaiting the daily white house briefing set to start just moments from now. we will bring it to you live when it begins. ...this is humira. this is humira helping to relieve my pain... ...and protect my joints from further damage. humira has been clinically studied for over 18 years. humira works by targeting and helping to... ...block a specific source... ...of inflammation that contributes to ra symptoms. it's proven to help relieve pain and... ...stop further joint damage in many adults. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers,
