to serve you in that particular arena. the time is now for that. so i can't wait to tell you more about it. so join me on twitter, instagram, facebook at jennaleeusa and let's talk. because it's not over. it's just beginning. thank you. i'm jenna lee. here's shep. >> shepard: jenna lee, good-bye and good luck. we'll miss you. it's noon on the west coast. 3:00 in dc on a very busy news day. the white house leaving open the possibility that president trump could try to block his former fbi director james comey from testifying before congress. there is a lot at stake here. director comey could answer questions about russian meddling and whether he believes he was fired because he would not pledge loyalty to the president. word of a secret white house time designed to fight back against most damaging accusations about moscow. and vladimir putin talking today about accusations of kremlin interference. and denying that there's any

proof that it happened. we're monitoring developments in the trump administration's fight for a travel ban and an appeals court shutting it down, but the white house is looking for help from the highest court in the land. we'll show you what happens now. let's get to it. first from the fox news deck this friday afternoon, the white house refusing to say whether president trump believes climate change is real, a threat to america or whether there's manmade climate change at all. listen to the very first question from today's briefing directed at scoot pruitt, the epa director. >> hoping you can clear this up. yes or no. does the president believe that climate change is real and is a threat to the united states? >> what is interesting about all the discussions we had the last several weeks, have been focused on one singular issue. is paris good or not for this country? that's the discussion i've had

with the president. my focus is on whether paris put us at a disadvantage. it was. >> it was a decent dodge. then he handed off to sean spicer who was the third top administration official to refuse to answer that question. >> you said you haven't had the conversation with him. it's been 48 hours. what does the president believe? climate change or if it's a hoax? can you clarify that? nobody else can. >> i have not had an opportunity to have that discussion. >> haven't talked to him about it. by pulling out of the global climate change agreement, the president is add odds with about every country on the planet. president trump said the paris accord hurts the economy. supporters say it helps the economy because it creates clean energy jobs by the hundreds of thousands and an investment in

our future and their children against the threats of rising temperatures and rising sea levels. those supporters include nancy pelosi who had this question for president trump. >> how is he going to explain to his grandchildren to the air that they breathe, assuming they breathe air? i was thinking about that. how are you almost -- almost every school child in america knows more about the climate challenge than president the president of the united states. >> shepard: nancy pelosi. she said the president lives in a fact-free shown but the facts show the united states is doing enough to help the environment and america first, not a pact with 200 nations. peter doocy with more. is the white house moving away from climate change? >> no, shep. they say the u.s. is doing

plenty, but thaw believe the paris accord for climate had too big a price tag. >> this administration and the country as a whole, we have taken significant steps to reduce our c 02 footprint. what you won't hear, how did we achieve that? largely because of technology, fracturing and horizontal dri drilling. you won't hear that from the environmental left. >> inside the cabinet, rex tillerson was arguing for the u.s. to stay in the paris accord. secretary tillerson did not attend the rose garden withdrawal announcement. but this morning without embracing the decision, tillerson echoed the epa administrator saying the u.s. was fine standing on their own and they can be again. >> it's important that everybody recognize the united states has a terrific record on reducing

our own greenhouse gasses. it's something to be proud of. >> this afternoon, sean spicer, the white house press secretary says he doesn't know if tillerson ever ended up signing off on the u.s. pulling out. shep? >> shepard: the president said he wants to renegotiate this thing. there's nobody that wants to renegotiate this or anything else. >> right. the white house says they will negotiate but the european leaders say it's not going to happen. france, germany and italy say -- >> the vice president mike sense said this morning he thinks this is just the start of a negotiation. >> you also hold -- heard him leave the door open to renegotiating a better arrangement to maybe reentering

the paris accord under new terms and new conditions. >> there are dozens of mayors from u.s. cities across the country trying to band together to let international partners know that they will still comply with paris agreement as best they can. their federal government does not the way it's written right now, shep. >> shepard: peter doocy live at the white house. let's turn to the "fox news sunday" host, chris wallace. chris, they're dodging the question of whether the president believes that climate change is real and caused by humans. do we know his position on this matter? >> no. it's astonishing. here you have the epa administrator, the man in charge of the environment for president trump and he says i don't know what he thinks. you have the white house press secretary, i don't know what he thinks. this san avenue to follow up with scott pruitt, the epa

administrator. he did say they want to reduce the carbon emissions, just not to the paris accord. why do they want to reduce carbon emissions? why do they think that's important? because it contributes to global warning. they're not willing to make that connection or is the president willing to make that connection. >> commissioner pruitt says he does believe what is the truth, that climate change is real and humans caused it. sounds like that's the reason for the lessening of carbon emissions. did you understand from the speech the reasons that they were doing this? the commission reasons fly in the face of what economic analysts have to say. >> shep, give me -- you were breaking up a second there. give me the end. >> shepard: it's a fairly lengthy speech yesterday and touched on a lot of issues. when it was over, did you understand his economic reason for pulling out?

the analysts seem to tell the story a different way than the analysts. >> well, there's different studies. he cited studies and there are studies that indicate that there would be jobs eliminated and gdp growth. talked about millions of jobs, hundreds of thousands of manufacturing sector. i think $3 trillion by 2040 in gdp growth would be hurt by continuing this in and limiting carbon emissions and the jobs that it would fold up in the manufacturing sector and the economy in general. there are other agreements as you suggested or studies that you suggested that indicates this doesn't take into account hundreds of thousands of jobs and trillions of dollars created in the green energy sector. they might still be created even though the united states is not part of the accord. some states, some will continue

on this path of green energy but it will be harder to make sales around the world if you're representing the united states, which is one of three countries outside the agreement. >> if you were given a sit-down with the president today, chris, where would you start? i think we're having connection troubles. >> shep, i can't hear you. >> shepard: if you sat down with the president today, where would you start? >> something is wrong here. i heard "where would you start." it cuts out. >> shepard: i know about the mic. the mics kicked the fast food out of the basement. it will get better. if you had a sit-down with the president, where would you start? there's so much out there. >> there's a lot out there. i'd ask him about this. but one of the questions that is wide open and continues to be open as you mentioned at the top of the show, is he going to invoke executive privilege to

try to block former director comey from temperaturing before the senate intelligence committee on thursday. he could do that. there's a question as to how strong his legal case is since he's to a certain degree waived executive privilege by making comments, sending out tweets. even in his dismissal letter characterizing the conversation where he claimed comey said he's not part of the investigation. so it's not to say it's protected but you have this dramatic testimony by james comey thursday. he was asked, sean spicer, today, and i think earlier in the week as to whether or not the president was going to invoke executive privilege to block it temporarily. he said that hasn't been decided yet. >> shepard: we'll know when we know. chris wallace, host of "fox news sunday." a big "fox news sunday" coming this weekend. set your dvrs for this one.

chris will speak with scott pruitt about the president's decision to pull out of the climate deal and the former vice president, al gore, who if you may remember, tried to talk the president out of the decision to pull out. remember, ivanka took him to trump tower. they had a meeting. quiet after that. the decision has been taken. anyway, al gore and commissioner pruitt this weekend, this sunday on "fox news sunday" on your local fox station. set those dvrs now. former fbi on the expected chief james comey, what he could reveal about the president and the investigation into the fired national security adviser michael flynn. will the white house try to shut comey down to prevent him from telling whatever he knows? that's coming up from the fox news deck on this friday afternoon.

into michael flynn. that in some readings could be obstruction of justice. of course, there's no executive guarantee of executive privilege would work to keep comey from testifying. there's reason for that. catherine herridge is live in washington. >> shep, the white house spokesman told reporters he had nothing to give them on whether the president would invoke executive privilege to shield the former fbi director from public disclosure. >> the white house going to invoke executive privilege to keep james comey from testifying next week? >> that committee hearing was just noticed. obviously, it's got to be reviewed. >> that's not a no? >> literally my understanding is the date for that hearing was just set. i have not spoken to counsel yet. i don't know how they're going to respond. >> on the issue of executive privilege, legal experts say the administration may be in a weak

position because mr. trump has been so public about mr. comb my and the russia case, from his tweets to the termination letter where the president cited their private discussions. >> having to president weigh-in on every time a witness gets called or what a witness says is an unusual way to handle it. from an attorney's perspective, i suspect there's some indigestion on list heal team about this approach. >> confirmation that next wednesday, the day before comey's testimony, the panel will hear from the special counsel. >> a grand jury in virginia is looking into michael flynn's business deals, this is new. >> here's what we know. fox news confirmed that this virginia grand jury issued subpoenaed for mike flynn and his business dealings with

turkey. flynn registered as a representative working on behalf of the turkish government, but he did it after he got paid $500,000 for work that he did last fall during the campaign. reuters is reporting and we're working to confirm that the russia special counsel robert mueller is wrapping in the virginia grand jury proceedings to the special counsel investigation of russia meddling and if there's links to associat associates. >> shepard: thanks, catherine. >> you're welcome. >> shepard: ahead, how much comey will be allowed to say. we'll hear what to expect next week. vladimir putin says a 3-year-old could have hacked the u.s. election. did he have a 3-year-old do it? we'll hear what else he had to say coming up from the fox news deck. when i look

>> shepard: president trump signing a pair of bills today. the white house says one is the american law enforcement hero's act. the idea is to use justice department funding to encourage law enforcement agencies to hire

veterans. the other bill, the public safety officer's benefits improvement act. officials say the goal of that one is to help the justice department speed up processing of officers death and disability claims. are they getting some questions, too? let's listen. congress created the program in the 70s. critics say there's too many delays in getting money to officers and families. the event was just streaming at foxnews.com. more on fbi director comey who is set to testify. that is if the president attempts to block him by using executive privilege. here's matt from "the washington post" who covers the justice department. he wrote an article on five things to watch for when comey testifies in the paper in the

online edition this morning. what is your sense of this executive privilege? has he said so much that he can't do that anymore? is that a gray area? >> it's a gray area. sean spicer in the last hour said it was still something that they had to review. if i had to guess, i would say that he doesn't invoke executive privilege here. president trump has referenced his conversations with james comey in the letting firing james comey that would complicate an effort to invoke executive privilege and it would be so politically damaging. it's hard to fathom that he would try to stop the former fbi director from taking the stand. >> shepard: we'll know soon enough. you mentioned in your five things to watch that jared kushner is increasingly a focus. what does that tell us, if anything? >> that's significant. he's a current white house official. he's the president's son-in-law. there's also no one in the white house closer to the president

than he is. we don't know precisely why investigators are interested in him. we know they're interested in the meetings that he had with russians in december, particularly with a russian banker that some of my colleagues reported on on the front page this morning. that is particularly curious because of what his happened there and the russian bankers explanation don't add up. there's a lot of questions that the fbi is curious about. what we don't know, if there's any sort of wrong doing here. the white house says they're routine diplomatic meetings. when they happened in december, jared kushner is a transition official and would be allowed to meet with foreign officials. >> shepard: on the matter of james comey, there's a lot of hype about this testimony coming up. it's hard to imagine him going too far off the memo. you expecting big news there? >> we don't know. james comey has made a habit of making news at congressional

hearings like this. back in 2007 he described this hospital incident where he intervening to stop the authorization and reauthorization of this surveillance program. i don't expect him to reveal any nitty gritty details of the criminal investigation, which that would be huge news. i do expect he will reveal more details about his conversations with the president, including more details about this occasion when president trump apparently asked him -- this is by james comey's account -- apparently asked him to shut down the investigation into mike flynn. i think the question is how many new details will he reveal and in the details is there something explosive. >> shepard: most curious, what the tone was and intent was. it's one thing to say hey, lay off my guy, he's deal. other thing is to say get the government away. that's an order. >> that's right. the tone and the exact words are so key. if the president is just sort of

saying, hey, mike flynn is a good guy. i don't believe he would have done wrong. that's one thing. if he's saying shut this thing down and if he's saying "shut it down" because he fears it would touch him, that would be worst case. but even if he's saying shut this down because he's looking to mike flynn and he thinks he's done wrong, that would go to the intention. >> shepard: matt, thanks. we'll look for your work in "the washington post." russian president vladimir putin saying a toddler could have hacked our election. he took questions in st. petersburg today and claims the cyber attacks couldn't have been very difficult. he said a 3-year-old could have done it. he said democrats are angry over losing to president trump who he says ran a better campaign. >> the other team made a

mistake. they don't want to recognize that. it's easy to say it's our fault. the russians interfered. >> shepard: vladimir putin who has denied that his government interfered in our election. today putin blamed the united states government for interfering in russian affairs because, well, vlad putin. coming up, the white house is taking president trump's travel ban to the nation's highest court. critics say the ban targets muslim and as a result is unconstitutional. the white house has a different argument involving national security. first, cops in oregon says video shows a suspect stealing from a murder victim. you may have seen in online, it's all over the internet. now there's an arrest. the latest next as we approach the bottom of the hour and the top of the news. all finished.

>> shepard: bottom of the hour, the top of the news. president trump's administration asking the highest court in the country to reinstate his travel ban immediately. the president's executive order blocks travelers from six majority muslim countries from entering the united states. the white house is looking to block lower rulings that stopped the ban from taking effect. mike pence says he confident the court will rule in the administration's favor. >> we're going to continue to drive this pause forward, advance what the president called policies of extreme vetting. we're confident when this reaches the supreme court of the united states, they'll recognize the right of the president and the constitution and the statute of this country to control immigration in a way that puts the security of our country first. >> shepard: white house lawyers say the travel ban will make the united states safer. critics says it discriminates

against muslims. doug mckelway is live. >> shep, it was all but assured that this travel pause was headed to the supreme court and as of last night, it is now in their hands. the justice department filed a writ asking the court to enforce the president's policy while the larger issues are litigated. in its petition, the justice department skewed the language in the opinion from the ninth court. the opinion said it speaks of vague words of national security and drips with discrimination. that and an apparent reference to disparaging comments that the president made about muslims on the campaign trail. the doj said anything that trump said as a candidate is irrelevant to his official policy as president. they cited --

>> the doj stated the president has every right to set immigration policy. >> last night we asked the supreme court to hear this important case and are confident that the president's executive order is to keep to country safe from terrorism. the president is not required to admit people that shelter or sponsor terrorism. >> the aclu is taking a different position saying the ruling will be held. shep? >> shepard: thanks, doug. the labor department reports the jobless rate hit the lowest point in 16 years.

the unemployment was 4.3%. down a tenth from april and the lowest rate since 2001. jobs numbers are not as good. u.s. players added 183,000 jobs in may. lower than estimated. still, the dow at an all-time high. eight stocks have been in record territory. it's been up, up, up since the election. all-time highs for eight of them after closing in record territory. well, adam shapiro is live. he's reporting from the white house. hello, adam. >> hi, shep. the jobs report, depends how you look at it. the "washington post" numbers said it was the numbers faltering. "the new york times" says now the fed has what they need to raise the interest rates. the bottom line, the overall job creation number was less than the analysts expected 138,000

with a jobless rate and unemployment rate of 4.3%. some of the good signs in this report, if you're looking for silver linings, mining. 7,000 mining jobs, which were added in may. we hit a low point october 2016 for mining. since october, we added 40,000 jobs in mining. listen to what mick mulvaney had to say about what the jobs report says about the overall economy. >> the jobs numbers may reflect industry, capital sitting on the sideline waiting for us to repeal obamacare and tax reform before they commit to the economy. they like what they see out of the president. you've seen that in the stock markets. in terms of making the investments that drive up the job numbers, drive up the gdp numbers, they're waiting on congress to act. that should be his motivation that they need to get back to work.

>> so shepard, you heard mick mulvaney say, it's up to congress as they come back from recess. they'll be back here next week. on tap for congress, healthcare, budget and tax reform. most likely we'll see some kind of healthcare legislation out of the senate in the next couple weeks. we expect to see a budget resolution before august and tax reform in the fall. >> shepard: they're going to get all of that done in that period of time? >> i didn't say that. >> shepard: i would be holding my breath. thanks, adam. five people died, 44 others hurt in shootings last holiday weekend in chicago. that's according to the police. they say murders and shootings are downed compared to this time last year. chicago police say it's not a victory but it's a step in the right direction. earlier this year, president trump threatened to send in the feds if city officials could not

fix the horrible carnage going on. police in chicago blame gang violence and drug wars. here's a look at how chicago compared to other big cities. chicago reported 240 murders, more than l.a. and new york city combined. matt? >> shepard, eight less people killed here in comparison to last year. some good news but not the most re-assuring. don't be fooled by this beautiful view. the numbers show one if not two people will be murdered in the city before the day is over. one of the most recent victims is a 20-year-old blind man running from the park where he volunteered and got hit by bullets in the crossfire. the aunt that told him how to cross the road without help is now planning his funeral. >> he's listing in the shadows.

that's his whole life. he never seen a clear picture but just a happy kid. i loved jevon. he shouldn't have went like that. he never hurt anybody. >> the young man who was shot and killed, there's no arrests. his case has gone cold like so many here in chicago. >> shepard: a widespread effort to bring crime under control. what is the process? >> yeah, recently mayor rahm emanuel added 1,000 police officers to the force. he's been lobbying with the police superintendent to pass a state bill that would crack down on repeat gun offenders. the city expanded technology that instantly identifies gun shots in communities. city hall and police agree that something has to be done that the violent crime here is unacceptable. >> if anybody thinks that last year's murder raise in chicago was okay, and if you're a leader in this city, you shouldn't be. >> we're headed into the summer

season, which is historically the most violent in chicago. last june, 76 people were murdered in the city. shepard? >> shepard: the white house coming up with a new strategy to handle the russia investigation. one official reportedly says the plan would let president trump's aides spend more time on his agenda. we'll talk with a journalist from the paper that broke the story. that's next. you do all this research on a perfect car, then smash it into a tree. your insurance company raises your rates... maybe you should've done more research on them. for drivers with accident forgiveness, liberty mutual won't raise your rates due to your first accident. liberty mutual insurance.

his day. arguably worked well for him. >> it did. ronald reagan did the same thing during a iran contra. the idea is to take these questions about the investigation of the day, in this case, it's russian meddling and potential evidence of collusion between the trump campaign and russian operatives and move those to the side. the white house needs to make a case for its healthcare bill, needs to make a case for the tax overhaul. the efforts are stalled and the russia investigation is eating up band width. >> shepard: so it's a chicken and egg matter. if they were transparent and russian interactions, just from the very beginning, yes, there was this phone call instead of lying about it each step of the way as so many have and have been found to be done so, why not be transparent about it? >> i think anybody in the white house will tell you, even when

there's an answer with an ongoing investigation, there's always another question behind it. my question here, is there a goal here to segregate the russian investigation and association the president more with the policy ideas that he wants to get through or is this to counter punch. they're talking about people like david bossie working in this war room. it's different than what we saw in the reagan years whereby moving the questions to a different room, we tone them down. is the goal to shift the fight or to really tone it down so that the rest of the white house can focus on policy. >> shepard: donald trump has called himself a counter punch. he prefers to be on offense than defense. so to set up an offense that goes on offense would be true to

form. >> you're raising another question. even if they move these questions to a separate office and the goal is to free up the rest of the white house to do the business of governoring, donald trump is his own chief spokesman. he thinks he spokes for himself best. we heard earlier that he was going to calm down the twitter postings, that his twitter messages would be vetted. he came back from europe and tweeting as assertively as before. so the goal is to disassociate the president, make him less directly associated with the russian investigation. all it takes is for james comey to testify publicly next week, put a lot of statements out there that trump wants to counter and have him start tweeting again and undermines the effort. >> shepard: so you think the president attempts to block that testimony? >> i don't know any more than what we've heard on your show, about this being a question to be >> shepard: yeah, nor do i for

that matter. thank you very much. great to see you. >> thanks. >> shepard: good weekend. >> good to be with you. >> officials say dozens died in the attack on a resort there. they say the gunman that stormed the complex where it happened didn't shoot one single person. ahead, what we're learning about this attack. you could spend the next few days weeding through w2s,
