>> oh, no kidding. it will rain all day today. >> we need it here in the northeast. >> see you tomorrow. >> janice will be live at the kentucky derby tomorrow so tune in. >> have a great time. enjoy your mint juleps, have a good weekend. >> bill: good morning, everybody. fox news alert. president trump taki victory lap. house republicans coming through with enough votes to repeal and replace obamacare and there is another hurdle. that is in the u.s. senate as we say good morning. split broadcast today on a friday morning. i'm bill hemmer live in washington, d.c. shannon, good morning. >> shannon: hello from new york. the vote was very close, 217 to 213. 20 republicans breaking ranks. >> as far as i'm concerned, your premiums will start to come down. we'll get this passed through

the senate. i feel so confident. this is a great plan. i actually think it will get even better. this is make no mistake, this is a repeal and a replace of obamacare, make no mistake about it. premiums will be coming down, yes, deductibles will be coming down. very importantly, it is a great plan and ultimately that's what it's all about. we knew that wasn't going to work. i predicted it a long time ago. i said it's failing. now it's obvious that it's failing, it's essentially dead. this has brought the republican party together. as much as we've come up with a really incredible healthcare plan, this has brought the republican party together. >> shannon: john roberts is live on a very rainy stormy morning on the north lawn. good morning, john. >> this president would never admit to taking a day off. he is in new jersey today at

his golf course and no public events on the schedule. let's see if i can go on a limb and likely won't be playing golf today. the weather in new york will be as bad as in washington, d.c. where we've had a torrential downpour for an hour. the president is basking in the afterglow of his first big legislative victory. a lot of heavy lifting ahead in the senate. the bill will go through some substantial changes. meeting last night in new york city with the prime minister of australia, the president sounded an optimistic note. listen here. >> i think we'll get it through. the republicans are very united. like seldom before. you see that today. the republicans came together all of a sudden two days ago and it was like magic. they came together. every group from freedom caucus to tuesday to every single

group. >> bill: it will take time to get that through the senate. senator bill cassidy from louisiana, also a doctor said yesterday it will likely take some weeks before it gets to the floor of the senate which would really push this idea of getting tax reform done by august back further in the schedule. they really have to wait as well until the negotiations for fy18 are well underway. i would think maybe late september or october might be the window for tax reform to happen. >> shannon: busy summer. the president is getting praise from bernie sanders over healthcare. do tell. >> praise of a sort and not for the healthcare bill that passed the house yesterday. it was praise for something that the president said as he was beginning that bilateral meeting with prime minister turnbull about australia's healthcare system. >> i shouldn't say this to our great gentleman and my friend from australia because you have better healthcare than we do but we'll have great healthcare

very soon. >> the catch here is australia very much like canada has a single payer universal healthcare system which prompted bernie sanders to tweet last night thank you, mr. trump, for admitting that universal healthcare is the better way to go. i'll be sure to quote you on the floor of the senate. as for the relationship between the two leaders the united states and australia, president trump insisted last night it is on solid footing. the two are friends saying that the media was way over blown in its descriptions of the phone call he had with prime minister turnbull on january 28th. the president did allow last night when he was describing that in his speech before the u.s. australia commission at the uss intrepid as they commemorated the 75th anniversary of the battle of coral sea. the phone call got testy and they are both adults and can take it. >> shannon: don't get washed

away there, john. thanks so much. >> bill: my, oh my. there is plenty of reaction today after newt gingrich said this late last night. >> they hit a wall. they tried to second time, they kept working and talking. trump kept talking to people as late as yesterday individually developing amendments and thinking things through. the art of the deal come to washington, d.c. the president would never back off. he would never give up. >> bill: chris stirewalt, charlie hurt ready for battle in washington, d.c. where it is dry on the inside. gentlemen, nice to see you both. in the spirit of stephen colbert, republicans eat another crap sandwich. with mayonnaise? what's up with that? >> you've had a big week. >> it has to be made with bread.

there were some good nintion. it was an accomplishment for president trump. this is what he said he would do. there are also some huge savings in here. the likes of which we haven't seen in probably 10 years. but the problem is this is the first time republicans have gone on record to say yes, we want nationalized healthcare. that is a really big deal. i don't know how president obama isn't sort of -- he ought to be clapping himself on the back right now. this is -- we've all agreed this is how we're going forward. i also think it sets up a real problem for republicans because now they kind of own it. and they can't campaign against obamacare anymore. >> bill: what kind of sandwich is it? >> i wouldn't use as colorful a term as that but i would say it is -- look, you -- the net effect of this legislation as charles points out is to preserve the concept of federal government control of the

insurance sector and its obligation to see to the health insurance of individuals. it just does so in a more stingy fashion. when you peel everything back it takes 900 billion dollars out of welfare and subsidies for people and puts it into tax cuts mostly for people who earn more than $250,000 a year. the net effect here, the reason democrats were saying goodbye as republicans were casting the final votes on this. this will cost a substantial number of republican seats. the problem for republicans it doesn't please either side of their coalition. the people it will hammer will be the people who are part of the trump coalition who are a lot of the working poor. >> bill: i imagine i feel like millions of americans today and many in our audience now. you like your doctor, keep your doctor, none of it was true. i'm hearing from democrats

medicaid will be robbed, pre-existing conditions you're on your own, folks. in summation we did not know what was in obamacare. do we have a good idea as to what is in this? >> a better idea what's in this because, of course, as nancy pelosi said they had to pass the bill in order to read the bill for obamacare. the problem will be in all of those particulars, who is ever going to be very satisfied. nobody likes their insurance companies. nobody likes obamacare. i suspect very few people will like this plan, either. and so if you don't like the post office, if you don't like the v.a., you'll be complaining about this. republicans are going to be running into that >> bill: what does it do for 1600 pennsylvania avenue and president trump? >> it demonstrates to the good that he is starting to understand how the legislative process works and he now has some experience in doing this and he can say okay, i got my

first building built. it is not a nice one. >> bill: because they took three cracks at it and they were successful. >> you have a duplex in yofrngers now. can he figure out a way to take this and build into something else? the senate will slaughter this legislation. many in the house hope he will or hope the senate will. if you want to know how bad of a bill this is, many of the people voting for it in the house hope that the senate kills it and replaces it with something less terrible. >> bill: could they have afforded not to act on this? >> they had to do something. i would still say for republicans the best outcome is that it gets slaughtered in the senate and there is some fight happens and it falls apart. that means that we don't have republican obamacare. it also means that donald trump and republicans can run on the fact that no democrats are

lifting a single finger the try to clean up the mess they made. that's a powerful political point. >> it is going to be a long time. cbo score still to come, all of this still to come, the idea that there is momentum now needs to be balanced with the fact that you and shannon were saying we have weeks and weeks of stuff that has the take place before we get to the senate being serious about this. take your time. >> bill: nice to see both of you and i know what's on the menu for charlie this weekend. thank you, chris, as we said earlier the debate par from over. former house speaker newt gingrich coming up and lay out what happens next coming up live on "america's newsroom" out of washington, d.c. >> shannon: and u.s. job growth showing signs of recovery. this morning the labor department released its monthly jobs report showing 211,000 jobs added in april beating the estimates they had out there. it comes as a jobless rate falls to 4.4%, the lowest rate in more than 10 years.

giving some reassurance that economic snapshot shows we're getting better after weak numbers. that's what this president ran on was about being a guy that could turn around the economy. >> bill: we'll see what the market does. as chris stirewalt mentioned as he often does house speaker paul ryan saying it's premature to pop the champagne. >> today was a big day but just one step in this process. an important step. we have a lot of work to do to get it signed into law. i know our friends in the senate are eager to get to work. [laughter] they are. >> bill: what does the senate do when they get ahold of this bill? already reaction on that. congressman sean duffy talks about the political fallout next. >> shannon: democrats sounding the alarm. leaders there saying people are going to die because the bill that got passed yesterday, is it over the top? our panel will debate.

>> bill: another p.r. nightmare. a whole family was booted off their flight and why. what delta airlines is saying about that today. >> okay. we are going to be in jail and my kids are what? i bought that seat. improve our workflow. attract new customers. that's when fastsigns recommended fleet graphics. yeah! now business is rolling in. get started at fastsigns.com. yeah! now business ykeep you sidelined.ng 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.

when this guy got a flat tire in the middle of the night. hold on dad... liberty did what? yeah, liberty mutual 24-hour roadside assistance helped him to fix his flat

so he could get home safely. my dad says our insurance doesn't have that. don't worry - i know what a lug wrench is, dad. is this a lug wrench? maybe? you can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™. liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance. >> shannon: the rains may be gone for now in the midwest but flooding is the real issue

after a devastating week of storms. water levels on the mississippi are rising and expected to crest over the weekend as the floodwaters recede. it is a scramble to try to protect the remaining homes they can along the river. >> republicans are committed to keeping our promise to lift the burden of obamacare from the american people and put in place a better, more patient-centered system. >> bill: house speaker paul ryan in the rose garden talking about the road ahead. it's now up to the u.s. senate. republicans say they'll write their own version of this bill. remember, they only need 51 votes in the senate to pass it. republican sean duffy voted for it on the house side and he is home in wisconsin. thank you for your time today and for being back with us. here was the serenade on behalf of your democratic colleagues after the vote on the floor of the house.

clearly the message pretty obvious, sir, why did you vote for it? >> first after, you played that video. it's pretty sad like at a a high school hockey game. one side is beating the other. but the truth is we all know obamacare is imploding. people are getting hurt. we heard yesterday in iowa out of the 99 counties, 94 now won't have any coverage at all. people get hurt and they're playing that kind of politics? i think it's disturbing especially when no democrat has lifted a finger to help try to save healthcare. there has been no fix to obamacare that nancy pelosi or chuck schumer put out. i voted for it because we have to do something. we have to help people and so what we're trying to do is take that center out of washington and put it back with our states and families and help drive down the cost of care for our american people. this is the first step.

we're asking the senate -- >> bill: what do you think happens in the senate? >> bill, what the senate does is a pretty tough thing. they'll take it up. i hope they move fast. time is of the essence. they'll make changes and tweak it and put their fingerprints on it and -- i think what the positive is they'll start with the house bill. they'll start with our template and they might tweak and modify it and come back and work together and fix the differences. we're on a path to making healthcare work again. >> bill: charles krauthammer thinks we're on a different path, one take seven years. and the end is probably something you aren't going the like. here is what he said last night. >> they have sort of accepted the fact the electorate sees healthcare not as any commodity like purchasing a steak and car. people have a sense the government ought to guarantee. the terms of debate are entirely on the grounds of the liberal argument that everybody ought to have insurance.

once that happens you'll end up with a single pay system. >> bill: that's quite a forecast. what do you think of single pay down the line? >> that's the not direction we're going. it was the direction of obamacare. i will see the point. we're trying to help people out who are poor americans who can't afford insurance on their own. the government is stepping out and helping out that group but we're trying to drive private markets, the exact opposite of single payer in the healthcare package. you saw how tough it was. even with the republican base trying to get the conservatives and moderates to come together and find a package that everyone could buy into came to the point that charles was making. what kind of involvement do you want government to have in healthcare? we navigate it and the senate will pick it up and do what they do. >> bill: what do you think this does for the republicans in congress? what kind of boost does it give president trump when you are

coming off 100 plus days? what is your feeling on that now? >> to move you back a couple of weeks when we couldn't get healthcare done i have to tell you it was demoralizing. we couldn't work together. there was no rudder in the water steering the ship. that we came together and figured it out. it was a unifying republican party. he was calling members as night and reaching out to members. the leader of the freedom caucus now i can get a decent night sleep because president trump will stop calling me. i think this was a win for everybody because we worked together and got a bill that was improved from the first one and i think this is a template for us to move forward and have more successes. >> bill: we caught you the other day passing trey gowdy in the hallway of the u.s. capitol. a bit of flick of the air. what's up with that? >> he had a big ear sting out and i had to swat it and keep

walking by. had a little fun with him. >> bill: different hairstyle. thank you for your time and see where we go next. a lot of people depending on where this bill turns out. sean duffy in wisconsin, thank you, sir. >> shannon: brand-new details on rising tensions with north korea, where the rogue regime is claiming the west is trying to assassinate their dear leader. we'll talk with the little sisters of the poor at the center of a longstanding legal battle against the obama administration. >> with this executive order we are ending the attacks on your religious liberty and we are proudly reaffirming america's leadership role as a nation that protects religious freedom for everyone.

>> bill: there has been a bombshell accusation by north korea saying the united states and south korea plotted to assassinate kim jong-un with a biochemical substance. they paid a hit man more than $20,000 to carry out the attack. all this coming amid rising tensions between the u.s. and north korea over that regime's nuclear weapons program and ballistic missile testing. >> president trump: we know all too well the attacks against the little sisters of the poor. incredible nuns who care for the sick, the elderly and they're forgotten. where are they, by the way? where are they? could you stand, sisters?

stand, come on up here, sister, come on up. i want you to know your long ordeal will soon be over. >> shannon: that was president trump after signing an executive order on religious freedom reassuring the little sisters of the poor that their longstanding legal battle against the obama administration over the contraceptive mandate in obamacare could soon be over. will it? we are joined by lori windham and sisters constance veit, good to see you both today. we've talked about this case for years together. i remember talking with you before the arguments were scheduled to be at the supreme court and visiting the home where you all do your work and seeing what you were doing and we talked about the millions of dollars in fines you would be facing. i remember asking you what will you do if you lose? you just said i'm trusting the lord. how do you feel now? >> we're still trusting the lord that he will see this to the end and he has never let us

down before as a community and so we're just trusting him. it is like we're at the one-yard line now just with the goal right in front of us. we're just still trusting in god and the beckett fund. >> shannon: the beckett fund has been doing heavy lifting. you have the order from the president to issue new regulations. still work to be done. how do you anticipate that playing out? >> two things need to happen. first we need the agencies to issue new regulations. it is regulations that have threatened to fine the little sisters and regulations that need to change to make sure their freedom is protection and the agency's lawyers at the justice department need to stop these cases, settle these cases and end this legal battle once and for all. >> shannon: some who were very opposed to order before it came out yesterday saying it would

be legalized discrimination but aclu yesterday said they aren't going to do a lawsuit. it was a photo op with no discernible policy outcome. was it a real win? >> yes. this issue has been to the supreme court five times and five times it has won. the supreme court is clear that religious freedom has to be protected. i think it's very clear the president is ordering the agencies to do exactly what the law and what the supreme court requires and i think the aclu is smart not to try to challenge that and lose again. >> shannon: they are standing by, they're ready to go. what has this five-year journey been like for you? when you put up resistance to the mandate when it came down did you think you would end up with supreme court case and the president signing an executive order in the rose garden? >> we never thought we would end up with a legal case.

we thought in the very beginning that really through the mechanism of the u.s. bishops conference it would all be resolved fairly quickly because cardinal dolan had received assurances from president obama. on the one hand it's been the cause of a lot of anxiety for us because the fines could be humanly speaking they're insupportable they're so huge. $70 million a year. but on the other hand it has really been a wonderfully eye-opening experience that has allowed us to come in contact and network and form bonds with so many people of goodwill, of different faith groups that we never would have come in contact with otherwise. so it's really a mixed bag. obviously it's been a very anxious five years but also we've just met so many wonderful people and been inspired by so many wonderful people that it is not all negative by any means. >> shannon: there were so many different people you wouldn't think of who would be allies

who have come forward and supported you all through this. lori, religious freedoms for everybody, not any particular denomination. we'll see how the executive order effects others as well. >> bill: really important issue, shannon. thank you for that. 9:30. in a moment the markets open up and see how they act with the jobs report. new report that hillary clinton is getting back into politics. the new group the former candidate is forming all to take aim at the white house and president trump. are democrats in full meltdown mode over healthcare? vintage nancy pelosi on the floor of the house after the vote yesterday. >> from the beginning trump care was a moral mon -monstrosity.

>> bill: 9:33. trading on wall street. markets reacting to the jobs

report and the healthcare bill as well wrapped in today's trading in consideration for the big board we added 211,000 jobs for the month. unemployment rate dipped a bit, 4.4%, which would seem to be pretty good news for the economy. it's early. had a heck of a run-up so far up about 15 points. hillary clinton returning to the arena. she is planning to launch a new political group aimed at funding organizations to work against the trump administration. ed henry joins me with more in washington and what is she doing, ed? cracking the door open for another run? >> people close to hillary clinton insist she is not planning another run in 2020. that this is all about pushing back on president trump and his agenda. remember, she signaled this a few days ago at the q and a where she said i am now part of the resistance. we're learning that she is

launching a new pac, familiar name, on ward together reminiscent of the stronger together campaign theme as first reported by a website. she wants to help congressional candidates in the 2018 and fund left wing groups reenergizing the left in recent months by going after the president. but not all democrats are on board with her reentry into the arena after all those excuses she made a few days ago about why she lost. >> it wasn't a perfect campaign. there is no such thing. but i was on the way to winning until the combination of jim comey's letter on october 28th and russian wikileaks raised doubts in the minds of people who were inclined to vote for me but got scared off. >> it was david axelrod who laughed that off by wait a

second. james comey did not tell hillary clinton to skip any campaign visits to wisconsin. >> bill: even democrats have criticism for her. >> yeah, and her former top aide huma abiden as well. when the f.b.i. director james comey was pushing back and telling his side of the story about why he put out that controversial letter about reinvestigating the email server just days before the election, he testified under oath that huma abiden had forwarded thousands of emails to her husband, anthony wiener, including some that included classified information. yes, classified information which is why democratic senator richard blumenthal is saying maybe that needs to be invest >> if there was classified information improperly passed to a person unauthorized to receive it, it's a crime without knowing what the intentions were. whether it should have been prosecuted and it still may be

potentially. it's not outside the statute of limitations as far as i know is one that the department of justice is going to have to decide. >> most people here in washington expect that will never be investigated and why people get frustrated with this town as you know, bill. >> bill: it's your town, thanks. ed. >> ta* taoded on them. this is a scar they will carry. so it isn't -- it's their vote. it's not the senate vote. for them to in a very cavalier way really a stupid bill. it's a bill of deconstruction of government, not a bill of saying we have a better way to do this. they are saying we don't want to do this. >> shannon: nancy pelosi letting loose on the republican

healthcare bill and chuck schumer say this bill is going nowhere fast. they should refuse to follow their colleagues and work with democrats to improve our healthcare system in a bipartisan way. if only. juan williams is a fox news political analyst and author of we the people. mercedes schlapp. elizabeth warren said this. the new bill will devastate american's healthcare. families go bankrupt, people will die. juan. >> i think democrats are upset. let's be clear about the points on the board to continue senator warren's analogy, shannon. what you are seeing here, i think, is republicans who know the president didn't have any legislative victories in the first 100 days really making a concerted effort to give him a victory to have something they

can point to and say we kept our pledge in terms of repeal and replace. even jim jordan the head of the freedom caucus this is not repeal and replace. it's the best we can do at this point. but what is this? if you look at the details of it, more people will be uninsured, higher premiums and deductibles, more cost for seniors even in terms of prescription drugs. i think that's what the democrats are saying that the reality of this bill could be damaging to republican candidates running in 2018. >> shannon: maybe they should be happy about that and something for them to celebrate. mercedes, i think you would take objection to some of these things. that's not how it's been betrayed. they say it will bring costs down and more people will be covered. when there is no mandate less people will be covered because less people will not have to get coverage. >> the democrats aren't willing

to fix the failing obamacare as we've heard so many times, the aetna ceo saying obamacare is in a death spiral. we've seen the results of obamacare, fewer choices for individuals especially for the middle class. you are seeing collapsing markets. you are seeing states where in iowa you will only have -- they possibly could lose their last insurance company to cover individuals in that state. it is incredibly problematic. we're seeing obamacare fall apart before our eyes and the republicans are offering an option. they are offering an alternative. it might not be the perfect bill but what we do know we are seeing more choices for individuals allowing the free market to work itself in this process and also allowing individuals to choose what insurance they want to have. i think, are there fixes that need to be made to the bill? absolutely. there are different stages to implementing this healthcare process.

but it is not going to be easy. it will be complicateed. the democrats will claim victory. the democrats have not helped an inch in solving this healthcare problem. >> shannon: you may get help in the senate. just so people understand the truth. this house bill will not get voted on in the senate. they write their own measure. people need to understand that. the senate will start from scratch and write their own bill and the two have to be worked out together. juan, at least one democrat in the senate says i'm open to this whole process. here is john tester of montana. >> >> i'm open to either one. >> people should express care for the american people and deliver a healthcare plan that works for more people, more insurance for more people. that will drive down costs for

us all. that's a good idea. >> shannon: so people understand we're starting fresh in the senate and we'll have you both along with us to critique it along the way. good to see you both. happy friday. >> be healthy. >> bill: 19 before the hour. fox news alert peace after a six-year war. russia trying to keep u.s. planes out of syria. new details on a plan from putin to establish safe zones in that country. plus, shannon. >> shannon: the host of late night never throwing away -- there is one thing they all have in common. >> the house voted to pass the republican healthcare bill before taking 11-day recess. they say they'll use the break to kickback, relax and finally read the bill they just voted for. but when family members forget, trust angie's list to help.

>> we cannot have the two greatest nuclear powers in the

world cannot have this kind of relationship. we have to change it. and so we have a number of efforts underway to first stabilize the relationship. >> bill: that's rex tillerson talking about cooperation with russia about syria. is it possible? moscow has an idea that would keep u.s. war planes out of safe zones in that country if those safe zones are even ever established. dick cheney and michael walz. is this 6 1/2 years now, is this a possible pathway to peace? >> bill, you know, to say that i'm a skeptic of this idea would be the understatement of the day. look who we would have enforcing these state safe zones or what they're being called in russia, de-escalation zones. the russians who have been targeting civilian hospitals

with weapons. assad regime attacked its own people with chemicals. hezbollah, iran and other militia as on the ground. to say we can trust they'll do this for humanitarian reasons would be a bit of a joke. >> bill: when the president and vladimir putin spoke the other day, the kremlin characterized the phone call as very good. that would seem to indicate, at least they had a positive conversation. >> they seem to -- the kremlin also said the president had agreed to these zones and the white house had a very different read out and said no, they were discussed but no agreement was made. so i think what we're seeing here is the agenda at play is very tactical in that the assad regime and the russians want to freeze fighting in certain areas so that they can concentrate in other areas. of note, the opposition forces, the rebels on the ground, walked out of these meetings

when the zones were announced. i don't see anyone coming to agreement any time soon. you know, i do think, though, that the safe zone concept could be helpful in moving towards peace in syria. but the u.s. is going to have to take leadership. we're going to have to create a place that refugees can flow back from europe and that can have a safe place to go that's protected by a neutral arbiter, not by the iranians and the russians. >> bill: why has it taken so long to even move on this topic? it's been out there for several years. no one has done it, why not? frankly because the obama administration wanted to lead on this issue. they would be very difficult to do logistically and a complete lack of leadership. both hillary clinton and

president trump said it's something we should do on the campaign trail and move forward in the right way. we can't have the russians and assad regime taking the lead on it. it is not credible. >> bill: you have a new administration and a new president who wants to do something about this. does it give you hope that things could change? >> it does. the pentagon has put forth a strategy. there are two wars being fought in syria now. one against isis and we'll prioritize that but we'll never be able to stabilize the entire country without dealing with the assad regime. it may mean there is a new leader in place even if you have the old regime under russian influence. eventually we'll move toward a political solution that will look something like what we have in lebanon where you have the various factions and a rotating government but we're not going to get there until the military environment on the ground changes and everyone is

jockeying right now for influence to lead into those negotiations. >> bill: we can all agree on that. good analysis there. michael walz from new york. thank you, what's next. >> shannon: susan rice is refusing to go before the senate to answer questions. why president obama's former national security advisor will not testify about unmasking surveillance reports and what it all means for the ongoing investigations and more trouble in the skies. this time it's delta facing backlash over pulling a family off a flight after they refused to give up the paid seat for their 2-year-old son. >> wait. we'll be in jail and what? i bought that seat. think again.

this is the new new york. we are building new airports all across the state. new roads and bridges. new mass transit. new business friendly environment. new lower taxes. and new university partnerships to grow the businesses of tomorrow today. learn more at esd.ny.gov

>> bill: we have breaking news out of west virginia.

a plane contracted by ups, a cargo plane, went off the runway down a hillside at the chuck yaeger airport in charlestop, west virginia. the associated press reporting the pilot and the co-pilot are dead but no other reason given as to why this would happen. apparently it took off at 5:43am eastern time. there was bad weather. whether it had anything to do with this, we don't know. difficult terrain to negotiate is what we're told by those at the airport through a spokesman there. charleston, west virginia, two dead there today. >> shannon: another commercial airline facing backlash. delta is under fire after kicking a family with a toddler on an overbooked seats. the whole thing was caught on camera.d your wife will be

in jail. >> wait, we'll be in jail and my kids will what? i bought that seat. >> shannon: we are oh joined live from los angeles. it's delta's turn to be in the p.r. nightmare. >> before the bar of public opinion. you are going to jail and we'll put your children in foster care if you don't give up your seat. that was the threat they got after they oversold. the man paid for all four seats. one ticket was in the name of his oldest son. when she refused according to federal regulations that 2-year-old could not travel in the car seat. >> he cannot sit in a car seat. you have to keep him in your

arms. >> he rode in a car seat the whole way out here. >> i don't know what to tell you. >> delta was wrong. the faa urges you to secure your child in a car seat for the duration of the flight. even delta policy says for kids under 2 we recommend you purchase a seat and use an approved child safety seat. delta says they violated policy by putting the child's in the older kids' name. the gate agent did allow them all to board despite that infraction. >> shannon: we'll see how it plays out. thank you very much. >> bill: we have some double trouble overseas. two of america's enemies teaming up together. also newt gingrich calling it an extraordinary achievement. why he argues republicans had a very good week. >> this is a great plan. i actually think it will get

even better and this is, make no mistake, this is a repeal and replace of obamacare. make no mistake about it. here i, the # 1 dry mouth brand recommended by dentists. biotene. for people who suffer from a dry mouth. ♪ new pantene doesn't just wash i wiyour hair, it fuels it.gain. making every strand stronger. so tangles don't stand a chance. because strong is beautiful.

>> shannon: it is a terror team-up that has the pentagon concerned. new evidence that two of america's most dangerous enemies, iran and north korea are joining forces. how will the trump administration respond? welcome to a brand-new hour of america's newsroom from new york i'm shannon bream. hello, bill. >> bill: hello, good morning. i'm bill hemmer live in washington, d.c. they are two members of what president bush once referred to as a axis of evil. u.s. intelligence officials saying north korea and iran may be sharing dangerous military technology. at the center of this ballistic missiles which both nations are banned from developing. >> shannon: we're live at the pentagon to give us more on this startling news.

>> good morning, shannon. both countries iran and north korea view ballistic missiles as keel to their survival. not only as a way to project force regionally and be able to fire on the u.s. main land. korea wants to do that. the design of this midget submarine, a carbon copy it's of a north koreaian design. >> the missiles we saw in iran were copies of north korean missiles. we've seen photographs of north korean and iranian officials in each other's countries and common hardware and design approaches. >> now neither country iran or north korea yet possesses long-range icbms but defense

experts have long warned that whatever north korea develops either from its nuclear or missile program iran can have for the right price. >> shannon: that's a terribly kept secret. not kept at all. so what does the pentagon propose to do? >> it's difficult for military planners here. earlier this month a couple of days ago it was the admiral in charge of all u.s. military forces in the pacific who sounded the alarm bells really saying the united states and its military planners hands are tied by a cold war era treaty. >> we are being taken to the cleaners by countries that are not signatories to the inf. >> that treaty forbids the united states from deploying either short or medium range missiles. those missiles are things that the north koreans and iranians have by the truck load and they

would have no problem using them in a conflict whether it be around the straits of hormuz or against south korea where the u.s. troops are in the north koreans went to war. >> shannon: thank you. >> bill: shannon, here in washington house republicans claiming a major victory after passing that bill to repeal and replace obamacare and now it goes to the majority-led senate by republicans. speaker paul ryan pointing out just yesterday this was only a first step. >> today was a big day but it is just one step in this process. an important step. we still have a lot of work to get it signed into law. i know that our friends over in the senate are eager to get to work. [laughter] they are. we're going to see that work through. >> mike emanuel live on the hill. they are eager, they say, mike. how eager? what's next? >> good morning. a number of key senators say they'll look at the house plan

for good ideas but with an issue like healthcare that affects every american senators are expected to offer their own plan. >> the senate will write its own bill. that's the way it works, right? they'll pass theirs, we'll pass ours and go to conference. i don't think the house bill necessarily predicts what is in the senate bill. and we have only 52 senators. there has to be consensus. >> that may be difficult. for example, kentucky senator rand paul has very strong opinions on healthcare and for example on what the house approved. >> i think it keeps the basic premise of obamacare that the federal government should be involved in purchasing insurance. >> healthcare in the senate is expected to be an involved process. >> bill: what about getting democrats on board? is there any chance? >> there are a number of democrats up on the ballot in

states that president trump one and maybe they'll be willing to play ball. john tester democrat of montana is up for reelection next year and told our colleague he is willing to look at improving obamacare or repealing and replacing obamacare. so tester may be willing to play ball. another key democrat said he is willing to see how senate republicans move forward. >> they haven't asked. how do you participate in the process if the republicans put the bill in committees that will show that they're interested in the process. but if they don't, if they try to force it to the floor that shows it's not about healthcare but about politics. >> it is expected most democrats won't be interesting in repealing and replacing obamacare so it will be tricky in the senate as well. >> bill: more to come. good work all week there. >> shannon: for more on this chris wallace the anchor of fox news sunday. good morning, chris. >> bill: good morning.

>> shannon: the reality is the president is celebrating. as outlined it has a long way to go. there are democrats who hate it in the senate and republican skeptics, too and they're starting fresh and not work from the house bill. they're doing their own thing. how heavy is the lift? >> the lift is very heavy. you have two sets of republicans in the senate. you've got people like rand paul who you heard saying look, the basic idea of obamacare, which is a government healthcare is still there. let's make it clear. he thinks it's terrible. so do people like ted cruz and mike lee. more conservatives, you have more moderates like rob portman in states where there was medicaid expansions and a million people got healthcare. this would roll that back. and they will be very concerned about that. in addition to that, just what you heard from bill cassidy, a senator from louisiana who said look, we'll take good ideas from the house bill but we're going to pass our own bill. there are republicans in the

house when you consider this only passed by one extra vote who say this was on the tip of a knife and you fool around with this too much and the coalition, the very narrow and delicate coalition you had in the house blows up. so to pass something that will be satisfactory to the senate and republicans can only lose two senators and still pass it and then have it also be satisfactory to the house where you have this very delicate coalition, that's a heavy lift. >> shannon: it is. so we understand there is this 12-member working group that includes some key committee chairmen over in the senate side meeting for weeks. so while everybody has been watching the action on the hill they've been putting together their own thing in the senate. it has no direct connection to the house. so explain for folks how this would work. a senate and house version, where do we go from there and how long could this take? >> it could take weeks or even months.

ultimately let's say the senate agrees on something and passes itd and then you go back to old fashioned legislating, a conference committee. get people from the senate and the house and they would meet together to try to put something together that people agree on. one more thing to indicate how complicated it is, the senate republicans are trying to pass this under something called reconciliation, the idea that when you have a budget matter it only needs 51 votes, a bare majority. you don't need any democrats. but if somebody named the senate parliamentarian. if she decides there are things in the house bill that aren't pertaining to the budget like rolling back regulations, she will say this doesn't qualify for reconciliation and therefore you need 60 votes, not 51. that would be a killer because

there is no way you'll get eight democrats to sign onto this. there are -- yes, big victory yesterday for house republicans and president trump. but a long way to go to the finish line. >> shannon: some say this has been a great week for the president. he got his budget passed. there were all kinds of concessions to the left. the healthcare is a win and hit rough watters. a lot of people celebrating the religious liberties. it is so toothless the aclu won't sue over it. a mixed bag. you have the man exclusively this weekend to talk about just all those things. >> we do. we'll talk to the white house chief of staff reince priebus. if this had gone down that he would have been in trouble. two times that he had failed to deliver a victory for the president. he lived to fight another day and we'll be talking to him not just about obamacare but the

entire trump agenda. things you pointed out. also tax reform. where does that stand and when does that stand? a lot to talk about with the white house chief of staff. >> shannon: fascinating. we'll be tuned in. chris wallace, thank you very much. >> bill: thank you. look at this. he is in the flesh and he misses you, bream. call your folks down here, all your colleagues. >> i was a little hurt to hear you weren't sitting three feet from me and weren't talking to me. >> bill: don't take it personally. it's just business as they say. much or on this battle in a moment. democrats are voting -- >> shannon: unemployment is now at its lowest rate in a decade. a closer look at the drop and what it means for the state of the u.s. economy. >> bill: susan rice declines an invitation to testify on russian hacking. will lawmakers be forced to use

a subpoena? next. >> the facts pick the witnesses. 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. there's nothing more than my vacation.me so when i need to book a hotel room, i want someone that makes it easy to find what i want. booking.com gets it. they offer free cancellation, in case i decide to go from kid-friendly to kid-free. now i can start relaxing even before the vacation begins. your vacation is very important.

[car engine failing to start] [wind blows] yo- wh- ah- he- [gas pouring] [slurps loudly] [engine starting] [loud slurping continues] >> bill: breaking news. word from overseas. a u.s. special operator has been killed fighting al-shabaab in somalia.

there were two other u.s. special ops personnel wounded. the first american death in that country since bill clinton's order to send troops in in 1993 that were since quickly withdrawn that year. that update from somalia. >> shannon: she will take a pass when it comes to the senate investigation into russian interference in the presidential election and other issues. president trump tweets this. susan rice the former national security advisor to president obama is refusing to testify before a senate subcommittee on allegations of unmasking trump transition officials. not good. david avella is a chairman of gopac and julie roginsky is a democratic strategist. well to to you both. susan rice's attorney says it wasn't a bipartisan request. the ranking democrat of the committee didn't sign off on it.

lindsey graham's invitation was extended only after the hearing was noticed and less than two weeks before the meeting and a professional courtesy that would be extended to any witness. she needs more than two weeks to prepare what see is going the say about whether or not she unmasked people and why. >> we already have some information about what she did. she had the authority to find out about who these people were that were colluding with potentially russians to undermine our national security. i'm not sure what there is to find out about this other than to make more political hay on an issue that should not be partisan. there is consensus among our intelligence communities and among everybody except our president that russia colluded to interfere with our election. >> shannon: not colluded. that's an important distinction. democrats and republicans have said interference but not colluded. >> not with donald trump

necessarily but colluded to interfere in the election. this shouldn't be a partisan issue but an issue all americans care about. if it doesn't happen to be addressed now it will happen again and again and next time it may happen to donald trump and not necessarily to a democrat. this is a national security issue and lindsey graham has been very good on this issue and knows better than to make it political. >> shannon: the f.b.i. director jim comey testified that russia is still doing this. they is still interfering in u.s. politics. what trey gowdy had to say about the invitation forformer ambassador rice. >> she redepthed an invitation. there are other ways to invite people, there are things called subpoenas. you shouldn't have to use them with a former national security advisor. members of congress and lawyers don't pick witnesses the facts pick the witnesses. she is an important fact witness. >> shannon: so far lindsey graham says he is not preparing

a subpoena. >> she should testify. but here is the reality. rarely does a u.s. senate hearing produce new bombshell evidence with facts that we didn't already know. and we have far bigger issues with russia than this hearing. they're having their fighter jets buzz our aircraft carriers. they're trying to, they claim they can take out our military communications. they are on speed dial with terrorists who want and rogue nations who want to do harm to america. fortunately, though, for us president trump is not one who will lean over and say to vladimir putin hey, after the election i'll have flexibility to work with you wink wink as president obama did. >> shannon: isn't it important to get to the bottom of some of this? whether there was potential

collusion or what russia was doing, those witnesses are important, too, julie. >> no question. what the russians did, as i said, all intelligence agencies agree is inexcusable and vladimir putin's assault about our democracy is what he is launching against the french and probably the german elections coming up later this year. it's the menace to democratic nations and this should not be a partisan issue. donald trump has this weird deference to vladimir putin that i don't understand and makes no sense to me. that's not relevant. what's relevant here is we find out exactly what the russians did and if they did what they did as it seems as they did they need to be punished for it and expand sanctions. this is not a democratic issue. lindsey graham and others have said the same thing. we need to put a marker down this kind of behavior is unacceptable or it will continue to happen. i say to my republican friends it happened to hillary clinton

last time. if donald trump crosses vladimir putin it will happen to him next time. we need to get to the bottom of it and ensure our democracy is protected from bad act force like vladimir putin who is probably the most dangerous man in the world right now because of his collusion with all sorts of rogue regimes. >> i defy julie to find 10 people in america whose opinion changed based off a russian hack. the first nine can be liars. >> shannon: we'll put julie down as one. not just me but any polling you saw after that. >> julie's opinion did not change about the election. she was never voting for donald trump. >> shannon: that's fair to say. we won't ask you on the air. that's a private matter. julie and david, thank you very much. >> bill: i don't think we'll get a consensus. a plot out of a james bond film north korea claims this plot is very real.

the accusations from the rogue nations accusing the c.i.a. of plotting to assassinate their leader. details on that. >> shannon: president trump's first 100 days. a hitting a different milestone. the late night tv hosts pouring it on the president at a blistering pace. we'll take you back and give you hard numbers. has it ever been this bad? >> no, we still can't believe it. i don't know why i didn't get screened a long time ago.

>> in is a repeal and a replace of obamacare, make no mistake about it. make no mistake. >> yes, make no mistake. we've already made enough for

today. >> even donald trump can't believe he is president. i guess he does relate to the american people after all. >> i can't believe that guy is president? i know, it's so crazy. >> bill: this has been a familiar theme and common one at that. the president breaking records for the most jokes from late night comedians during his first 100 days. a new study shows mr. trump has been target number one. the question is why? bernie goldberg, fox news contributor here to talk about this examining the media and much more. bernie, good morning. you've been watching this and what do you think so far about what you're seeing? >> well first of all it's a safe bet, bill, that in their personal lives these late night comedians were rooting for hillary clinton, they're liberal democrats probably all of them. so that makes sense. in their professional lives, they were rooting -- they were praying that donald trump would

win because he is a joke writer's dream come true. he provides with so much material. his hair, the way he talks, the things he says, all of that. but having said that, having said that, they aren't telling all those jokes about donald trump making him the butt of the jokes because they like him. they are telling all those jokes because they don't like him. and the author of the study said donald trump is the politician late night comedians most love to hate. that sums it up. >> bill: let me show this first. the first 100 days now president trump has been the target of a joke apparently 1060 times. moving from left the right on the screen barack obama for one year 936. george bush one year 546. bill clinton one year, 440. i mean, this is open season,

bernie. >> it really is. absolutely open season. this is unprecedented. jokes are the liberal -- you know what? jokes are the liberal editorial and liberal op-ed version of -- comedy is the equivalent of that except -- except that jokes have more influence than most editorials. i'll give you a personal example. people have said to me personally, sarah palin, what a dufus. she said she could see russia from her house. she never said that. never said that. tina fey said that on "saturday night live" but jokes work their way into the bloodstream of the culture in a way that editorials don't. you know what? you could write all the editorials, bill, let me write the jokes and we'll see who has

more influence with millenials. it will be me. >> bill: you worked at cbs for a long time. what did you think of colbert's performance this week? >> it was so vile, so crude, and so vulgar that -- and he didn't apologize. his explanation was so lame. i'll tell you what i thought because i know some of the people involved. he is not going to take responsibility for this because he hates -- hates donald trump. the ceo of cbs needs to be asked about this. if i were at a dinner party in california at the ceo's house and i said to just 10 people at the party what colbert said to millions of people on a national tv network, they would look at me and say what's the matter with you? you don't talk that way in front of people you don't

really know and in front of women. you don't talk that way. yet the ceo let him say that to a national audience of people colbert doesn't know personally. the ceo needs to be held accountable. it is vulgar, rude and way, way crosses the line. >> bill: bernie goldberg analyzing that. colbert said he was sticking up for a member of his own team john dickerson. dickerson had amazing access to the white house and president last week, remarkable stuff. air force one, sit-down interview and into the oval office and that was the rationale that was used by colbert. good to have you on a friday. enjoy the weekend. last comment quickly? >> that wasn't the rationale. that was the excuse he gave. >> bill: thanks, bernie, 10:30 here in washington back to new york and shannon. >> shannon: there is strong opposition to the healthcare bill coming from the healthcare

industry itself. could changes in the senate change their minds? dr. mark siegel will join us live. >> bill: looking forward to that. what now and what next for republicans? newt gingrich on the risk and reward live next. liberty mutual stood with me when this guy got a flat tire in the middle of the night, so he got home safe. yeah, my dad says our insurance doesn't have that. what?! you can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance.

♪

♪ i'm dr. kelsey mcneely and some day you might be calling me an energy farmer. ♪ energy lives here. >> bill: word from north korea as accusing south korea and the c.i.a. of trying to assassinate its leader and dictator kim jong-un. the details of this are fascinating. we're live in london. what are some details about the alleged plot, greg? >> it's a farfetched plot. if it had been true and actually happened we would have had a front row seat according to the north korean state media today. he was supposed to have been targeted attending a huge military parade held last month on the anniversary of the birthday of his grandfather which we attended. the story goes the c.i.a. and

south korea counterpart agency turned a north korean fellow, paid him off and geared him up with satellite communications device and armed him with a dirty bomb with radioactive material to use that to kill kim jong-un at that public event. we were there. we can attest security was tight. they are always looking for any kind of iphone or ipad that might have a gps homing device. playing into that concept. we were about 200 or 300 yards from the guy. nothing happened on that day. those claim to have been involved have had no comment. >> bill: north korea released new images of kim jong-un. what do we see of him? >> exactly. it maybe to attest he is very much alive and well. north korean state media releasing these images of kim

jong-un checking out front line north korean troops near the south korean island. it was the target of a deadly artillery tack in 2010 on the maritime border between north korea and south korea. no coincidence that just in this past week cia director pompeo was there checking out the troops trying to get a firsthand look at the threat of north korea as we all are. back to you. >> bill: more on that, greg. he is watching those developments. strange as they might be from london. >> shannon: you know the healthcare reform package got through the house but facing stiff winds in the senate. that's not the only place. critics within the healthcare industry are now upping their opposition to the bill as well. the republican bill to replace obamacare. "the new york times" is calling it a rare unifying moment. a number of doctors, hospitals and insurers will push for major changes. dr. mark siegel is a professor

of medicine and has his own piece in the "new york times" as well. good to see you today. it made it through the house but a lot of breaks going on in the senates. what will have to change for it to move forward? >> i think there is opportunity for compromise here and certain things can change that will make it more likely for this to pass. for example, the macarthur amendment set you have up a situations where states could cut down on essential benefits. some of us don't think they're essential. emergency room visits are essential and vaccines and epidemics are essential, opioid addiction coverage. that's with the macarthur amendment say we want less of that. pre-existing conditions, if we have high-risk pools set up and people lapse in their coverage they could get their insurance through a high-risk pool. critics say the high-risk pools have always been underfunded. let's not underfund them.

president trump says $8 billion. the bill says $8 billion. it's not enough. one compromise to be if you create high-risk pools for those with pre-existing conditions that aren't getting it through the regular insurance, fund it and that's where subsidies belong. >> shannon: a number of insurers have been staying on the sidelines. we're hearing from the ceo of blue shield of california. we oppose it. it raises the specter that the sickest and needest among us will lose access. even if you have insurance, that doesn't necessarily equate access under obamacare, either. >> that's a great point. as a practicing physician. insurance is a gate keeper. doc, get a preapproval. insurance is in the way of giving healthcare a lot of the

time. so more insurance doesn't necessarily mean that my patient will get better taken care of. on the other hand, this also may be referring to the medicaid expansion which i want to go on record right now again and say i want that kept. i think there is more of a chance getting through the senate if they cut that out of the bill especially with the current medicaids are. having premium buy-ins for anything more bells and whistles on medical. i would like to see the medicaid expansion kept. we could offer the democrats and say we'll put more funding in high-risk pools and keep the medicaid expansion. it has more of a chance of passing. >> shannon: you are busy saving lives and maybe send you to the hill to be a negotiator. >> president trump, i'm ready to go. >> shannon: thank you very much, bill. >> bill: coming up later this

morning we'll make sure you join us for a fox news online exclusive. we'll speak with the former secretary of state condoleezza rise. she is launching a new book about democracy here and around the world. go to facebook live at 11:15 a.m. eastern time on facebook live. log on and get your questions ready and we'll very much look forward to bringing you that. it will fire up 40 minutes from now. >> shannon: that will be a fascinating conversation. people can get involved. >> bill: you think about her specialty is russia with all this action with putin. you think about north korea and all the action in asia. no shortage of topics, shannon coming up online. >> shannon: you will have a lot to talk about. house democrats are sending a message singing goodbye to republicans after yesterday's healthcare vote.

[singing] >> shannon: the warning will haunt republicans, they say, in the next election. newt gingrich is here to respond to that. you don't want to miss what he has to say next.

>> you have every provision of this bill tattooed on your forehead. you will glow in the dark on this one. you will glow in the dark. >> bill: nancy pelosi moments before the votes happened. newt gingrich author of a new book called "understanding trump." that should be good. he is the former house speaker and with me now. fox news contributor. nice to see you in person. it's great to be here. it passes in the house, evaluate it. >> very much improved. the last five weeks have

actually worked. the number one concern of americans, existing pre-conditions, guarantees they have axis to health insurance. begins to move us toward a more market-oriented system and begins is the right term. the senate will do some things that will be different and then they have to go to conference and produce a bill. it is still a big challenge but it was a huge victory for president trump. a big victory for paul ryan. this was a heavy lift. >> bill: a long way to go, we can concede that together. >> sure. this is where i think people like nancy pelosi are so absurd. they produced a bill which cost them the majority. when they passed obamacare they got killed. they've spent all these years in the minority. obamacare is collapsing. one reason a congressman from iowa decided this week he had to vote for the bill is the last major insurance company that was covering iowans pulled out. announced this week it's gone. you watch, the next couple of weeks as the senate works and

conference committee works more and more pieces of obamacare will collapse. this has been -- it doesn't help to have pre-existing guaranteed if there is no health insurance. >> bill: i went to bed last night thinking what does this mean? i imagine my feeling is the same that millions of americans have today. obamacare passes. you like your doctor, you keep your doctor. not true. you like your plan, you keep your plan. not true. now democrats are saying if you have a pre-existing condition, good luck. democrats are saying medicaid is going to collapse. >> republicans have to be prepared to go back home and show in the bill here is what happens with pre-existing conditions. this is why you're safe. they have to show in the bill this is how we're going to handle medicaid and let's be clear. the democrats answer is let's

bankrupt the whole country, spend whatever we can come up with and only go to a single payer system to make bernie sanders happy. if you think government should be the monopoly deliverer of healthcare this ain't your cup of tea. >> bill: krauthammer is arguing we're seven years away from single pay. what the white house would argue we have to get healthcare done because there are so many tax dollars in obamacare. we can free up money and work toward tax reform. can they work for it now or are you frozen legislatureively. >> they all get to do work. so you can have a bunch of guys working on health. we need a job creating tax cut bill. we need to start the idea the

number one test of that administration will be are we creating jobs? i think they can move forward now. i think this does clear the -- gives you a general shape of where we're going and i think they can say look, we know about the direction. part of this is because of really stupid procedures in the senate. you need reconciliation. to try to run the country this way is amazing. >> bill: i think about rand paul who said we shouldn't be subsidizing any american companies much less insurance companies. and ted cruz and mike lee. they could lose one vote on the senate side. >> they'll write a somewhat different bill. what it will look like i'm not quite sure. they will then go to conference with with the house and that's the real moment. and they've got to come out of conference. it is pretty simple. what are the five or six or seven things the american people most want?

can we find a way to deliver those. one is pre-existing conditions. people want to be sure that their loved ones aren't going to be cut off. so they have to get to a solution that says yes, here is how we solve it. >> bill: do we think that you needed that $8 billion that upton debated this week at the white house? did we not think the system was already protecting those? what doctor would take a baby out of the hospital and say i'm not going to care and treat you? >> it does happen. you get treated but a bill from the hospital for a million dollars. people are saying the number one concern people have, health is like anything else, health is all about individual people's concerns that are real. that they know are real because it's their life or their child or their mother. you have to be able to answer those human questions. if we can produce a bill in the conference committee that meets those tests, then we're going

to have a big winner in 18 and it will be the democrats who refused to help the american people who will have a problem. >> bill: what traps or trap doors do you see republicans after this vote? because we remember all too well in 2010 the town halls that happened in every district across the country and how boisterous and rowdy they were and how they worked against democrats. >> partly because we know the president of the united states deliberately lied over and over. obama knew when he said it it wasn't true. you weren't going to keep your doctor or insurance company. the biggest challenge for republicans. they are collectively policy wonks. republicans have to communicate clearly and they have a good chance now.
