12:00 pm
foreign policy challenge in our life time may not be as difficult as people thought? >> i think both of thaoe leaders have publicly expressed the confidence they have in the president's negotiating skills and the president's desire to work to get peace. the relationship he's built with them individually and the trust and respect that they have for him. i think he, in discussions with them, private discussions with them, feels very optimistic about the shared goals that everybody has. obviously there's a lot of issues that have to get covered. but the president understands that they respect his ability to want to get this done. his relationships that have been developed. this is something he really wants to have happen. >> why monkey around with pre-existing conditions with the healthcare? that's the most popular thing in obamacare. why are you guys spinning your wheels messing around with pre-existing conditions? >> i wouldn't call it messing
12:01 pm
around. the president wants to do -- >> right now people with pre-existing are covered, not discriminated against. you're going to change to a system that who in the hell knows what going to happen. if you're in this state, this governor may give a waiver. it's a big change for people with those illnesses, is it not? >> the big change -- we have a very different view of this. my view and the president's view, if you have a pre-existing condition and you no longer have a healthcare provider or your prelims or deductibles are going through the roof, you don't have coverage. >> so throwing the baby out with the bath water -- >> it's not a question -- >> why change pre-existing conditions? >> we're not. we're strengthening. we have done everything to do to
12:02 pm
not only strengthen -- >> the governor can say, here's my waiver and -- >> jim, the fundamental point that seems to be getting lost is if you have obamacare right now and case after case, you're losing it. so if you have a pre-existing condition and a card that says obamacare but no one will see you or you can't afford it, you don't have coverage. >> why not fix that? >> we are. i don't know how much -- we have -- >> why does it have to be altered? >> the president has made it very clear that pre-existing conditions are covered in the bill under every scenario. >> so pre-existing can understand under trump care is fine? >> yes. >> thank you, sean. want to follow up on healthcare. why is the white house pushing so hard for a vote on this as you just said it's impossible to analyst its impact on the
12:03 pm
healthcare system? why not wait for that analysis to come out? >> the vote will happen as i've said when the speaker and the majority whip want to. our job is to work as hard as we can to work with members of congress that want to see the healthcare system improved. that's what we're doing, that's what we've done. so it will be up to the house leadership to decide when to vote. >> you just made a guarantee to the american people to have pre-existing conditions. earlier -- that's impossible to know the impact of this law. how can you make that guarantee -- >> they asked about costs. the president made it very clear on numerous occasions that he's going to make sure that pre-existing conditions are covered. >> so the white house has the information to back that up? >> yes. >> so as director mulvaney said regarding the tweet about calling for a shut down possibly in september. they said the reason said that
12:04 pm
tweet is he was frustrated by democrats spiking the football and poisoning the wealth of future negotiations. the president, when he campaigned said he was going to win for all americans. why did the feelings matter at all? >> it's the process that he's frustrated with. they wants to win for every american. that's why he fought for this. democrats have struck routines that they're supposedly for to do everything they can to obstruct. the president is frustrated with the system. he talked about how archaic it is in the senate. he's out there working to try to get, whether it's healthcare, tax reform, cabinet through the senate. there's various things the president is trying to do that are issues when he's having conversations with members of the senate or the house that say i'm with you on this great idea but i can't vote with you. he's frustrated with how hard he's working to achieve the promises, goals and objectives
12:05 pm
that he set out with the american people to make the country better and to deal with multilayers of obstructionism. >> so you've cited the 60-vote threshold as a reason why funding for the wall wasn't pursued in this spending bill. what will be different in september? presumably the legislative conditions will be the same. what will change to give you funding for the border wall? >> multiple things. when you come in, this c.r., there was a lot carried over. it's not just a continuing resolution. it's a total omni busage. >> there's multiple bills part of the underlying package that already have increases or underlying policy in them from the previous fiscal year, from the previous congress, from the previous administration. this be will reflect in 2018 the house and senate. thank you very much. see you tomorrow in new york. have a good one.
12:06 pm
>> i'm jon scott in for shepard smith. we begin with round two on healthcare. the white house making a major push to get moderates on board with the new bill. sean spicer, as you just heard, said vice president pence is meeting with lawmakers and they're making progress. two moderates, fred upton and billy long say they're ready to vote yes. that's as long as an amendment that congressman upton wrote is in the bill. they made that announcement after meeting with president trump and vice president providence. congressman upton's amendment adds more money to protect people with pre-existing conditions. it's not clear if it's enough to convince other republican hold-outs to join in line. it clearly did not do anything for senate minority leader chuck schumer. he said the proposed upton amendment is like administering cough medicine to someone with
12:07 pm
stage vote cancer. congressman upton said he expects an up or down vote tomorrow, sometime in the early afternoon. in march, republicans couldn't get enough support to bring a bill to the floor. our senior capitol hill producer points out republican leaders could be playing with fire if they make too many changes now. he says we may put this on the floor and roll the dice. john roberts is live at the white house. just in the briefing. what else is the white house saying about health care? >> jon, good afternoon. looks like a dam has broken on the healthcare bill when john upton and billy long said they changed from a no vote to a yes vote in this idea of pre-existing conditions. the president said the mandate to cover pre-existing conditions is in the overall healthcare act as contained in the new mcarthur amendment. but there was the problem with the waivers. a lot of people were worried
12:08 pm
while the states can opt out, that might people without coverage or coverage so expensive they can't afford it so upton and long came to the white house with a compromise. so now the white house is feeling good about this. there's questions as to whether or not the $8 billion has been allocated to cover high risk pools would be enough. sean spicer said nobody can make that calculation, which begs the question, how do they make the calculation in the first place that $8 billion is proposed by upton and long would be enough. here's what spicer said about the bill earlier today in terms of where it is in the overall process. >> he wants to work with members to make it the strongest possible bill, to have the strongest outcome for the american people and a healthcare system in which both the costs continues to go down. i think that's one point that we keep forgetting in this discussion. with what we're trying to do. it's not just replace obamacare. obamacare is dying on the vine. >> i'm told there's probably
12:09 pm
about two or three votes that still need to be turned from nos to yeses in order to get the 216 votes necessary to pass the bill in the house. that vote could come as early as tomorrow. apparently the rules committee is going to having a look at that tonight. jon, i'm told by sources both here and the white house and on the hill that if it does pass and they say that they're not going to take it to a vote unless they know they have 216, but if they do take it a vote, it will pass by a razor thin margin. >> john roberts, stay with us. i want to talk about the battle over the budget. a vote expected this afternoon in the house on the plan to keep the government running through the end of september. source tells fox news the bill should pass, but it could be ugly for the gop. according to the senior producer on capitol hill, more than 100 republicans may vote ney. the big reason for the revolts, democrats blocked some of the presidents proposals including a down payment for the border wall. the white house is calling the
12:10 pm
budget deal a win for the american people highlighting billions for the military and border security. not all republicans are praising the agreement though. south carolina senator lindsey graham says republicans got our clock cleaned. if the bill survives the house, the next step is the senate which could vote as early as tomorrow. let's get back to chief white house correspondent john roberts. john? >> jon, the white house is pushing back very aggressively against this idea that they got rolled by the democrats over the spending bill insisting the president got a lot of his priorities. the omb director, mick mulvaney, frustrated and now happy with the way the democrats have played this. the democrats went to get some sort of a compromise bill. they were willing to give up some things. the democrats came out of the negotiations spiked the football and said we won. here's what mulvaney said about that earlier today on fox. >> they were desperate to show we couldn't govern.
12:11 pm
desperate to show that we were unreasonable, that people made a bad choice in president trump and what we're hearing, everybody recognized he cut a good deal, he worked with democrats because we have to, we need 60 votes to do that. people forget that. >> they had to give out something, but what about the idea that members of their own party are complain ing they got rolled. >> senator lindsey graham said the republicans got their clocks cleaned. looks like 100 members in the house will vote against it. how do you say this is a big win? with needed democrats votes with us. as you pointed out, director mulvaney said we needed a one for one military increase. we got that to $1.20. that is a huge win for the president. >> and looks like this will come to a vote later on today.
12:12 pm
it looks like it's going to pass even though a number of -- probably a large number of republicans are going to vote against it. i'm told by sources on the hill that everybody is focused on healthcare and trying to get that through. the republican why a lot of republicans will vote against this is because the healthcare vote may be a tough vote and they don't want to take two tough votes in the space of a week, john. >> john roberts, the chief white house correspondent. more ahead on a busy day in the nation's capitol. we'll bring in our political panel. and james comey testifying about the hillary clinton e-mail investigation and russia's meddling in our election. that's coming un. if you have moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis like me, and you're talking to your rheumatologist about a medication... ...this is humira. this is humira helping to relieve my pain... ...and protect my joints from further damage.
12:13 pm
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, including lymphoma, have happened, as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas... ...where certain fungal infections are common and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. talk to your doctor and visit humira.com this is humira at work. this is bill's yard. and bill has a "no-weeds, not in my yard" policy. but with scotts turf builder weed & feed, bill has nothing to worry about. it kills weeds and greens grass, guaranteed.
12:14 pm
12:15 pm
>> jon: more now on the battles on the budget and health care. noel is a republican strategist. dan gernstein is here. so noel, looks like the republicans have a bill that they feel they have enough votes to pass. how confident are you? >> i'm confident in the fact that we have some legislation that is a good bill. i think with upton coming on board and with the president also saying that he likes this bill, i think that everybody is following suit and i think this is finally a piece of legislation that we can hopefully get, you know, through
12:16 pm
and get passed. with saying that, i have to tell you, i feel like this is bipartisanship at work. one of the things that i've noticed, he's got some democrats on board, some republicans on board. some republicans are not on board, you have the majority on board. i like the fact that everybody has always been upset about the fact that, you know, like when obama was in power, the republicans weren't being brought to the table, this is bipartisanship at work. >> jon: you're not going to get a lot of democrats, right? >> you're going to get enough to where look, you have some of the democrats taking credit saying that some of these bills, you know, credit to them, to the democrats. so i'm looking at this by saying for once, you have a little bit of bipartisanship. >> jon: that's what people want, isn't it, dan? >> absolutely. unfortunately it's in total short supply in washington. what noel is saying applies to
12:17 pm
the spending bill. the stop gap bill to prevent the shutdown. sean spicer said this is a good win for the president, not for the republicans. the republicans for the most part, the spending hawks are furious. they review it as caving in to the democrats. this will be fascinating to watch across the trump administration. he's in the middle of this water among the republican party, trying to gloss it over but keeps spilling over. >> jon: lindsey graham said the party, the republicans, got their clocks cleaned on the bill. >> they did. there's no question about it. >> but he has to realize, when president trump was elected, he entered into an atmosphere politically among the gop that was divided. with the ted cruz supporters, jeb bush, huckabee. all of these candidates and the republican party was extremely divided. so when president trump took offered, he entered in with a gop that was divided. >> jon: be through are
12:18 pm
republican voters out there that said look, we gave you the senate, the house and the white house and what do we get? >> you can look at that as a division within the republican party. that's why. if they were all following suit along the same line, you'd see more unity. what i will say with this, going forward, you are going -- because of this division, you'll have a lot of republican primary challenges. we talked about this. you'll see group like the club for growth get very, very active and challenging some of these people that didn't follow suit. the freedom caucus is for this bill as well. >> what you're seeing is that the only thing that held the republican party together over the last decade was the opposition to president obama and specifically the animating force of opposing obamacare. now the only thing that they agree on and they have to unwind it, there's divisions and president trump is exacerbating the divisions because he doesn't have a firm idea what he wants. that's getting communicated all
12:19 pm
over the place. he said the pre-existing conditions were protected in the bill. they weren't. he's got to scramble to fight within his own party to full the promise. >> that's okay. getting the legislation that the american people can be proud of is bipartisanship. and president trump figuring this out as he goes along is okay. >> jon: he's done some arm twisting on the bell. dan, noelle, thanks. judge andrew napolitano said

12:23 pm
. >> jon: the director of the fbi, james comey, says he believes russia is still interfering in american politics. he said that while testifying before the senate judiciary committee. >> is it fair to say that the russian government is still involved in american politics? >> yes. >> is it fair to say that we need to stop them from doing that? >> yes, fair to say. >> do you agree with me the only way they're going to stop is to pay a price for interfering in our political process? >> i think that's a fair statement. >> comey confirmed the investigation into possible ties between russia and the trump campaign continues. he says he won't talk about it anymore until the investigation is done. comey defending his decision to tell congress less than two weeks before the election that he was reopening the hillary clinton investigation. he said agents found thousands of e-mails on a laptop belonging to anthony weiner who is married to one of clinton's top aides.
12:24 pm
they are separated now. just two days before the election, comey told congress the e-mails did not change the outcome of the investigation, but some democrats say the damage was done and it did affect the outcome of the electi election. comey said he would make the same decision today. >> this is terrible. makes me nauseous to think that we had information on the election but wouldn't change the decision. everybody that disagrees with me has to come back to october 28 with me and stare and this and say what would you do? would you speak or conceal? >> the former candidate said she would have won the election if it were hold october 27. president trump responded on twitter, fbi director come me said the best thing that happened to hillary clinton in that he gave her a free pass for many bad deeds. the phony trump russia story was an excuse ed by the
12:25 pm
justification. perhaps trump just ran a great campaign. catherine herridge is live on capitol hill. lots to go over today. >> that's right, john. the director testified that it was routine for huma abadeen to send e-mails to anthony wiener. thousands of mails were found as part of a separate criminal investigation. the fbi told senators that they had two options, to conceal it or go public with it. it's not satisfy for democrats, including senior democrats, senator dianne feinstein who said the director made this most impactful decision with no indicator that there was new credible evidence. >> you took an enormous gamble, the gamble was that there was something there that would
12:26 pm
invalidate her candidacy. and there wasn't. i think most people that have looked at this said yes, it did affect the campaign. why would he do it. >> director comey testified that his investigators found hundreds of new e-mails and among them many of which were classified. yet republicans press the fbi director on the fact that at the end of the day, neither abadeen or clinton, nobody was prosecuted. >> and if our laws don't cover this, they should. >> there's no anthony wiener statute -- >> well, maybe we need one. >> that was one of the only sort of lighter moments in the course of that four-hour hearing. just a short time ago at the white house briefing, sean spicer said that the president
12:27 pm
maintains his confidence in the fbi director despite sending a tweet that director come me had given hillary clinton a pass on the e-mail probe, jon. >> jon: what about intelligence analysts saying russia wanted trump to win? what have we learned about that? >> when the intelligence community issued their report against the russian interference in the u.s. election, they had high confidence that the russian president as the months moved closer had a preference for donald trump. today it was released for the first time, the fbi director got very specific on the matter. >> what is your assessment of why the russian government had a clear preference for president trump? >> the intelligence community kay saysment had a couple parts with respect to that. one he wasn't hillary clinton who putin hated and wanted to harm in any possible way. so he was her opponent so necessarily they supported him.
12:28 pm
the second notion that the intelligence community assessed that putin believed that he would be more able to make deals, reach agreements with someone with a business background than with someone who had grown up in more of a government environment. >> chuck grassley emphasized at the hearing today that neither the intelligence community or others had found any evidence that specifically linked members of president trump's team to russia and any collusion in the course of the investigation. one thing that i think may have gotten lost in the reporting today but was one of the overarching themes and was communicated by dianne feinstein, the bureau has a cloud hanging over it and there needs to be an effort for director comey to regain the nation's trust and they're in that situation because he made decisions in the course of a
12:29 pm
2016 election that thrust the bureau in it. >> jon: catherine herridge in washington, thank you. judge andrew napolitano joins us now. you've been critical over the fbi director. anything that you heard today from him change your mind? >> no. in fact, i think he reinforced that criticism that a lot of us have been advancing his way. seems like every time he tries to explain this, he makes it worse. pick up on the last statement that catherine made. the agents themselves, field agents and senior management feel the fbi was put in a very uncomfortable and unfamiliar position, which is in the middle of a presidential election campaign. this is the foremost law enforcement entity in the united states of america that prides itself on political neutrality. they're not perfect. they're human beings. they do everything they can to stay out of the political frey. the most significant mistake comey made is recommending in
12:30 pm
public rather than in private as the rules say, but in public, that mrs. clinton not be indicted and then laying out the case to indict her he laid out and overwhelming case and he verified. >> jon: and he took heat from senators that said look, that's not your call. you're not a prosecutor. you're an investigator. >> the same with respect to discovery of the anthony wiener laptop. senator feinstein was absolutely correct. he made the judgment to go public on that before they knew what was in there. he has no obligation to report on the status of a criminal investigation in a public way to congress. because that often gist a false picture of where the investigation is going to end. in this case, not only gave a false picture, oh, there might be more bad stuff about hillary that we didn't know about, probably changed the outcome of the election.
12:31 pm
this from somebody that could never vote for hillary clinton. in my evaluation of jim comey's involvement, she made a strong case against her. >> comey has taken a lot of heat about this whole thing. it's true that if hillary clinton hadn't made the decision to store classified information on a private e-mail server, then comey would have never been dragged into this. >> it's beyond dunderhead. it's espionage. to take the government's most security venue and put them in an unsecured venue. when jim comey said we didn't know if we could prove intent, that's the wrong standard of the law. they have to show gross negligence. when he said she was extremely careless? what is the definition of that? >> jon: thanks, judge. >> thank you. >> jon: well, house speaker paul ryan today said republicans are
12:32 pm
extremely close to getting enough votes to pass the gop healthcare bill. they're apparently just hours away from deciding on the timing of a vote. coming up, a live report on that from capitol hill. to write down the things they love to do most on these balloons. travel with my daughter. roller derby. ♪ now give up half of 'em. do i have to? this is a tough financial choice we could face when we retire. but, if we start saving even just 1% more of our annual income... we could keep doing all the things we love. prudential. bring your challenges.
12:34 pm
>> i'm lea gabrielle with a fox report on a u.s. contractor accused of security violations in iraq. the american company sally port ignored alcohol smuggling and human trafficking at an air base north of baghdad and fired the investigators that uncovered the violations. the u.s. government paid the contractor nearly $700 million to secure the base for f-16 fighter aircraft. among the accusations, workers were involved in a prostitution ring. staff that directed airplanes on runways were showing up to work drunk. employees smuggled so much alcohol on the base, a plane once tipped over under the weight. an executive told the a.p. that
12:35 pm
12:37 pm
>> jon: more on the fight to repeal and replace the affordable care act. as we reported, paul ryan and gop leaders picked up two more yes votes on the healthcare bill today after a meeting at the white house this morning. mike emanuel is live on capitol hill with more. mike? >> good afternoon, jon. we learned that the health and human services secretary and the medicare and medicaid administrator are here as senior republicans believe they're very close to having the votes. majority leader kevin mccarthy said they will know this evening if they'll vote on healthcare vote in the house this week. mccarthy gave credit to a new amendment offered today. it's for michigan republican congressman fred upton that
12:38 pm
authorized $8 billion to help those with pre-existing conditions to hope afford premiums. paul ryan is praising the new proposal. >> fred upton's amendment is something that he's working on that nobody has a problem with. it's actually helping. fred upton identified something that he thinks will make the bill better, that is mutually agreed to by people from all parts of our conference. >> a number of those that were nos or maybes have expressed concerns about pre-existing conditions. this new amendment could move a number of them to yes, jon. >> jon: what about the democrats? what are they saying, mike? >> democrats are reacting like this new amendment from fred upton is a very serious threat. they're saying it will not help those with pre-existing conditions. >> they had made it -- put this forth to make it look like oh, we have improved the bill. no. it doesn't improve the bill. don't let the -- this is an insult to the intelligence of the american people. worse than that, it's an assault
12:39 pm
on the good health of the american people. >> democrats are furious that a vote could come in the house before the nonpartisan congressional budget office gist an estimate on how much this will cost. jon? >> jon: mike emanuel, thanks. rex tillerson addressing the entire state department for the second time since he's became the nation's top diplomat. he talked about the america first policy and says it doesn't need to come at the expense of other nations. rich edson is live with more. good afternoon. >> he gave a detailed explanation of foreign policy, spoke about north korea, said the u.s. is ready to implement more sanctions against north korea and spoke about the campaign. it's about pressuring north korea and other countries to pressure north korea. in that effort, secretary of state says the u.s. is just at the beginning. >> it's a pressure campaign that has a knob on it. i'd say we're dial setting five
12:40 pm
or six right now. >> he says he wants north korea to understand this is not about regime change. this is not about war with north korea. it's about stopping its aggressive behavior. he also told the story about the first time he met with vladimir putin in moscow. he said putin shrugged his shoulders and nodded in agreement. he says he wants to built it was between russia and the united states. that will happen when he meets at the arctic council in alaska. >> and the peace deal with the israelis and the palestinians will get done and he would like to happen. mahmoud abbas said that he believes he and president trump could be partners to bring about a historic peace treaty. let's bring in sarah westwood for the washington examiner.
12:41 pm
sarah, president after president has tried to get a peace deal between the israelis and the palestinians. does this president have a shot? >> well, president trump is approaching this in a completely different way than obama did. obama was concerned with the details of a peace deal between israel and palestine. he was focused on pressuring israel to give up specific actions like settlements. critics said that obama was too harsh on israel. he put all the burden on israel. trump has done a 180. he's not concerned with dictating the terms of the deal. he's not concerned with the nuances of the conflict. he won't even endorse a two-state solution as the u.s.'s priority in terms of a deal with israel and palestine. he just is interested in getting the parties to the table and today he said he wants to act as a facilitator for the talks. >> he had positive comments about how the two peoples work
12:42 pm
together especially when it comes to security arrangements. listen to this. >> they get along unbelievably well. i had meetings and at these meetings was very impressed and somewhat surprised how well they get along. they work together beautifully. >> jon: talking there about palestinian and israeli security forces. you know, would -- that that applied to the entire chain of government for those -- for israel and the palestinians. >> certainly he's interested in trying to focus on the areas where israel and palestine do have common ground, where they do get along. he hasn't touched the hot button issues. he's soft in language that he rolled out in the campaign about moving the u.s. embassy in israel from tel aviv to jerusalem, which would be a controversial move. he has just barely scratched the
12:43 pm
surface of the things that some who are more pro israel in the u.s. would like him to bring up with the palestinians. he was expected to bring up with abbas. the issue of palestinian payments going to the families of terrorists. that's something that the u.s. would like to see. the palestinians say that's the foundation for a peace deal. officials said that that was something that trump would address with abbas. >> members of congress have introduced the taylor force acted in honor of the former westpoint cadet that was killed in 1 of those attacks. thanks, sarah. ahead, the u.s. flexes its military might for the second time in a week firing a missile across the pacific ocean as tensions to threaten to boil over with north korea. that's coming un.
12:47 pm
>> jon: as tensions rise with north korea, the u.s. military launched another missile capable of carrying a nuke across the globe. it's the second long range missile test in a week. the missile launched in california and travelled 4,000 miles before it splashed down in the pacific ocean. north korea launched a missile also but it failed. jennifer griffin has more. >> the minuteman 3 like the one last week was launched from vandenberg air force base by a team in montana shortly after 3:00 a.m. eastern time. the air force said this in a statement. the air force keeps 450 intercontinental ballistic missiles on alert around the clock in underground silos across three bases in montana, north dakota and wyoming. last week's minuteman test was supposed to be carried out in november. brush fires near the launch site in california caused the test to
12:48 pm
be postponed to be scrubbed until today. the u.s. air force typically conducts four long range missile test as year. these tests were scheduled long before the tensions with north korea. the u.s. navy released new video of the u.s.s. carl vinson strike group exercising with south korean warships off the korean peninsula. the release of this video is designed to send messages to pyongyang. fox news learned that iran attempted to launch a cruise missile in the straits of hormuz. the test failed. a midget class submarine was used by iran to conduct the launch. north korea and iran are the only two countries that operate this type of submarine. it's not clear in the test was the first time that iran had attempted to launch a test under water from a submarine. in 2015, north korea conducted a
12:49 pm
successful test from a submarine for the first time. there's more and more evidence that north korea and iran's missile programs are linked. jon? >> jon: worrying stuff. jennifer griffin at the pentagon. thank you. ahead, ambushing the police. two officers wounded as they sat in their car. investigators say this was a targeted attack and they're hunting for the shooters. we go live to chicago next.
12:52 pm
12:53 pm
