he jumped into the passenger's side window. let's see it again. he was managing to stop the car so the man having a seizure would survive. that will do it for my. i'm harris. here's shep. >> shepard: it's noon on the west coast, 3:00 at the white house where president trump is blasting his own justice department saying the lawyers there should have fought for his original travel ban. even though two of his own staffers have avoided calling it a travel ban. the president says that's exactly what it is. could that mean trouble in the courts? also, the white house saying once and for all whether president trump plans to try to stop the fired fbi director james comey from testifying this week in congress. plus, attackers killed seven people in london. the islamic state has claimed responsibility. investigators say they're still trying to unravel the plot. today word of new arrests and

the prime minister saying it's time to do more to fight islamic extremists. in florida a man walked into his workplace and started shooting. five people dead. most say the police shot in the head. now we're hearing from a survivor that told the gunman to get out before the bullets flew. let's get to it. good monday afternoon from the fox news deck. the british police say they know the names of all of the terrorists that went on a ram pain in london saturday night ramming their van into a bunch of people on the london bridge before going on a stabbing spree at the borough market. so far they released the names of two of the suspects. one is a british citizen that lived in the area. police say the other lived in the area and there's conflicting reports on age and nationality.

shortly after the attack, police shot and killed these two men and a third man whose name they have not made public. the killers were wearing fake suicide vests. police say knew about butt before the attack. he had been reported to have terrorized himself but he was nod planning anything before the brutal attack that killed seven and injured 48 others. isis has claimed responsibility. saturday was the third terrorist attack in england since march. today the british prime minister, tereheresa may says i time to change our approach to terrorism. >> we cannot go on as we are. enough is enough. we must do more, much more to take on and defeat the evil ideology of islamic extremism. it's an ideology that promotes a

choice between our western values of freedom, democracy and human rights and the religion of islam. >> shepard: police say counter terrorism investigators searched two homes and detained what they called a number of people suspected to have some sort of connection to the terrorists. over the weekend, police say they arrested a dozen people. 11 of them are said to be in custody. this is christine archibald. she moved to europe to be with her fiance. relatives say she was one of the people whom the terrorists mowed down with their van. local newspapers have identified a french man who reportedly died after one of the attackers stormed the restaurant where he worked. this was near the scene of the attack. start it back at the beginning. this was at the scene of the attack near -- today near london bridge. this is the response to the attack over the weekend.

crews have installed large concrete barriers. we were there a few weeks ago. this is brand new. there's westminster bridge where the five people died in a car and knife attack in march. this is near london's market with people marching, #turntolove. you can see commuters on their way to work. this is the scene of one of the houses where police conducted raids less than 24 hours after the attack. a star-studded benefit concert took place about 150 miles to the north in manchester. it was two weeks ago a bombing at an ariana grande concert killed 22 and injured children. last night's local time concert featured artists including black eyed peas, katy perry, miley cyrus and ariana grande that

headlined the event and organized it. ♪ >> according to the british red cross, the concert raised more than $13 million. the prime minister may said that britain's terror threat level will remain at serious, which means an attack is highly likely. that's one step below the highest level, which is critical. we have team fox coverage. catherine herridge live in washington this afternoon. first, to mike tobin who is live just after 8:00 p.m. what are we learning about the attackers? >> investigators can't pin down one of the terrorists. koram butt was on the radar of police and mi 5 since 2015 because he spouted off about

radical ideology. there's reports that he tried to recruit children nor isis. the raids have been taking place in a borough called barking. a dozen people were picked up. one was released quickly. so from the information that we have thus far, police are holding around 11 people believing there's a larger network of assistants or sympathizers. scotland yard pleading with the muslim community for more information. shep? >> shepard: what is the situation like on the ground there? >> you have a city that wants to mourn. thousands came out to an area called pottersfield for a vigil today. a very emotional testimony. the mayor criticized radical islamists. he himself a muslim and he said the radicals are ruining their

religion. >> we thank our courageous emergency services and the brave londoners that risked their lives to care for others. you are the best of us. >> and politics is back in full swing. the prime candidates were supposed to take a day off yesterday. they never really died. prime minister theresa may and jeremy corbyn have been taking jabs to each other as it relates to the tabs of undercutting police financially. >> shepard: thanks. catherine herridge is live now with more on the investigation from washington. catherine? >> isis claiming responsibility but it's not clear from our reporting whether the claim is opportunistic or the terror group played a role in training and the operations. a message posted just before the attack to pro isis channels on

telegram calling for lone wolf attacks during the holy month of ramahadan. >> it's important to note the method of attack in this last case with the vehicular attack and the knifing. this is classic. it goes back to lee rigby, the british soldier that was almost beheaded on the streets. we've seen more in israel, this is the classic tactics of the global jihadi threat. >> five plots have been

discovered since the manchester attack. >> and what else is attracting the attention of investigators here? >> our attention is being drawn to images with suspects with canisters strapped to their bodies that looked like suicide vests. this is to guarantee martyrdom because police are told to kill, not negotiate. a republican member of the homeland security said the fbi and local police in this country should use the same approach. that seemed to have positive results and tackled mob crime. >> you have to have infiltration and surveillance. you can have all the security in the world. if the security shows up after the fact, the lives have been lost already. >> u.s. government officials told fox over the weekend they had viewed some of the

classified intelligence and describing what they saw as some of most severe threats that they've seen in the last decade, shep. >> shepard: thanks, catherine herridge. let's turn to tara maller. she's a spokesperson and senior adviser. great to see you,tara. >> thanks for having me. >> what jumps out at you here? >> what jumps out, we don't know a lot about these individuals. we have a sense that one was on law enforcement's radar screen but we're not sure if they had contact with isis or another terrorist organization. we're not sure about foreign travel. we're not sure about other associates or if this was part of a larger cell in the u.k. a lot of factors here that could have contributed to the timing. isis has been calling for attacks in ramadan, calling for vehicles attacks in the ramadan season. we just saw that ham on the heels of two other terrorist attacks in the u.k. so while it's tragic, it's not surprising given that we've seen a build-up leading up to this attack. still a lot of questions about the level of contact these

individuals may have had. if one was on law enforcement's radar, were there flags that were missed ahead of the attacks. >> shepard: we take about law enforcement radar. it's one thing to say that in the united states. over there, they're said to have 20,000 separate individuals on watch lists. in addition to that, what is it? 5,000 open investigative cases? >> there i believe under mi 5 about 500 active investigations. a couple thousand suspects associated that are being looked at in conjunction with those. you're correct about the 21,000 overall. so it's a lot of individuals that are being sort of watched, monitored on the radar screen. obviously they need to prioritize these cases. so while this individual may have been on the radar screen, i believe it was for reports from friends about him viewing extremist content online and potentially seeing signs of radicalization, which is critical here. there was mention a lot of what he was being reported for is

online activities, which goes to the point that prime minister made about the technology companies need to crack down on this. it's a common thread across all of these cases. >> shepard: these low tech attacks, they're much harder for investigators for obvious reasons. but you've said there's still ways to make these sorts of operations more difficult to carry out and easier to investigate. >> there are. while a low sophistication attack involving knives and a car is more difficult than a highly sophisticated attack involving financing, communications and materials, there's still ways to educate the public to remain vigilant. things that law enforcement can do to spot the signs and also steps to take to try to thwart these when early signs of radicalization may be seen. in this case, a friend reported suspicious activities. things that companies can do. there's technology available

that can get this content off twitter and facebook and social media. the tech companies have been ramping up their efforts but there's a lot more that could be done if they wanted to clean up their platforms. a lot of these individuals view the same content that remains on the same platform. in this case, it was a particular extremist out of deer born, michigan, whose videos are online and extreme in nature. so they're looking at the same material over and over again and this ought to be taken down. and lastly, at the actual time that the attack happens, you really want to make sure that people know what to do in these types of emergency situations. >> tara maller with us from washington. thanks, tara. >> thank you. >> shepard: president trump tweeting again about the attack and pushing his travel ban. he's now going after his own justice department. in other words, his own employees saying the ban, its taking to the supreme court doesn't go far enough and he

signed it. have you seen the tweets from the husband of one was president top aides? breaking in the last hour, no executive privilege to be exerted. the white house has decided the president won't try to stop james comey from publicly testifying about the russia investigation. so it's on. this thursday. that's coming up from the fox news deck on a monday afternoon. this is me when i feel controlled by frequent, unpredictable abdominal pain or discomfort and diarrhea. i tried lifestyle changes and over-the-counter treatments, but my symptoms keep coming back. it turns out i have irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea, or ibs-d. a condition that's really frustrating. that's why i talked to my doctor about viberzi... ...a different way to treat ibs-d. viberzi is a prescription medication you take every day that helps proactively manage both abdominal pain and diarrhea at the same time. so i can stay ahead of my symptoms. viberzi can cause new or worsening abdominal pain.

do not take viberzi if you have no gallbladder, have pancreas or severe liver problems, problems with alcohol abuse, long-lasting or severe constipation, or a bowel or gallbladder blockage. pancreatitis may occur and can lead to hospitalization and death. if you are taking viberzi, you should not take medicines that cause constipation. the most common side effects of viberzi include constipation, nausea, and abdominal pain. stay ahead of ibs-d with viberzi.

>> shepard: there's breaking news now on fox news channel. the president will not try to stop the former fbi director james comey from testifying about team trump ties to russia and his conversations with the president before the president fired him. that's the word from sarah huckabee sanders. james comey is set to testify this thursday before the senate intelligence committee. all of this after sources close to comey said president trump asked him to stop investigating michael flynn. president trump fired director comey last night and later admitted that the russia investigation was on his mind when he made that decision. chief white house correspondent john roberts live on the north lawn. >> a lot of wagering whether the white house would allow comey to testify or whether they would invoke executive privilege and prevent him from testifying.

it probably would have been a conversation covered by executive privilege but enforcing it might have been difficult. it's possible the president could have done it had he wanted to do. as we opened the briefing, a question i asked sarah huckabee sanders evoked a final answer. >> he's scheduled to testify thursday. there's a question as to whether or not you will invoke executive privilege or if you will allow him to testify. >> the president's power to exert executive privilege is very established however, in order to facilitate a swift and thorough examination of the facts sought by the senate intelligence committee, the president will not assert the executive privilege. >> had he done it, the president would not have been the first to invoke executive privilege. president obama did it regarding documents concerning the fast and furious scandal. president clinton tried, but

failed to do it during the lewinsky sandal. he tried to prevent his aides from testifying. he took it to court and lost, which is something no president ever wants to do. but looking like thursday is a very big moment here in washington. probably across the country as well, a lot of people tuning in for that. >> shepard: yep. beginning 10:00 a.m. here on fox news channel. word of the president's travel ban is next. when they actually did start saving. this gap between when we should start saving and when we actually do is one of the reasons why too many of us aren't prepared for retirement. just start as early as you can. it's going to pay off in the future. if we all start saving a little more today, we'll all be better prepared tomorrow. prudential. bring your challenges.

london. he tweeted "people, the lawyers and the courts can call it whatever they want but i'm calling it what we need and what it is. a travel ban". the justice department should have stayed with the original travel ban, not the watered down politically correct version they submitted to the supreme court. the justice department should ask for an expedited hearing. we're extreme vetting people coming into the united states in order to keep our country safe. the courts are slow and political" he says. of course, he signed this order that he now calls watered down. he signed it. it's an executive order. federal courts have blocked the president's revised travel ban and the original version which he signed off the inauguration. the trump filed an emergency request with the supreme court asking it to immediately

reinstate the advised ban. the administration asked the supreme court to take up the travel ban in the fall. under this revised plan, the one the president calls the watered down version, the government would ban refugees from all countries from entering the united states for four months and block visitors from six muslim majority countries for 90 days. lawyers challenging the president's travel orders say it discriminates against muslims and most courts have agreed. candidate trump called for a muslim bam during the campaign but the administration's lawyers have said they should ignore those comments and look at the executive order itself. some analysts say the term "travel ban" raises legal problems. several judges have cited the phrase like the one he used today in their information to block the order. the president said it is a travel ban. in fact, today the president

tweeted the measure is a travel ban. some of the analysts say the president's tweets today may have undermined his own legal defense. the husband of president trump's counselor, kellyanne conway, criticized the president's tweets. george conway said the tweets may make some people feel better but won't help the office of the solicitor general get five votes in the supreme court, which is what matters. sad. george conway just last week with drew from consideration to be the president's nominee to reason the justice department's civil division. john roberts is at the white house what is the president saying about the tweets on the travel ban? >> they're standing with him saying he can say whatever he wants about the travel ban and call it whatever he wants. in january, sean spicer said

it's not a travel ban. it's a method of vetting people before they come into the country. now the white house calls it a travel ban, it's a travel ban. something else that he said, they should take the watered down to the supreme court and seek a tougher version. that suggests there's a third version in the offing. the other thing the white house is not concerned about is the legal implications at the supreme court. you showed what george conway tweeted there and we'll get further tweets from him in just a minute. there's no concern that it could make the case before the supreme court more difficult. listen to this exchange that i had with sarah huckabee sanders earlier today. >> on the president's tweets regarding the travel ban, kellyanne conway's husband pointed out that such tweets are

not helpful when it comes to the solicitor general's ability to make an effective argument for the supreme court. is the president concerned that he may be tainting the waters of the legal system by issuing suc. the president is very focused on exactly what that order spells out. that's protecting americans, protecting national security. he has every constitutional authority to do that through that executive order. he maintains that. that position hasn't changed. >> however, george conway is still concerned about the potential legal impact in a series of tweets just a few minutes ago tweeting out "just to be clear and in response to inquiries, i still very strongly support potus, his administration, policies, the executive order and, of course, my wonderful wife, kellyanne conway which is why i said what i said this morning.

all have agreed with me and have told me the point cannot be stressed enough the tweets on legal matters seriously undermine the administration's agenda. the president of the united states, donald trump and those that support him as i do need to reinforce that point and not be shy about it." shep, he's further explaining himself here, but certainly not backing off on the tweet that he issued earlier today, which some people saw as being critical, particularly for the husband of the white counselor. >> shepard: during the london attack or just in the aftermath of it, the president tweeted at the london mayor and it's drawing criticism due to context. >> yes, according to the statement, he was telling people in the streets of london or people in london that if they saw more -- greater police presence on the streets, not to be alarmed about it.

to which the president tweeted at least seven dead, 48 wounder in terror attack and mayor of london says there's no reason to be alarmed. the mayor's office said that was taken out of context. it wasn't telling people not to be alarmed about the fact that there was a terror attack. he was telling people not to be alarmed if there were more police on the streets. the president said pathetic excuse by the mayor who had to think fast on his no reason to be alarmed statement. msnbc is working hard to sell it. sarah huckabee sanders dismissed any notion of bad blood between the mayor and the president. >> you think that's what the president was saying? >> i think the point is there is a reason to be alarmed. we have constant attacks going on, not just there, but across the globe and we have to start putting national security and global security at an all-time

high. president trump has been very clear that's his priority and he's not backing away from that. >> and following that, sarah huckabee sanders was asked if the president was picking a fight with the mayor of london. she said it's ridiculous. >> shepard: john roberts, thanks. ahead, congress is back, so can republicans make any progress on the president's agenda? we'll see where things stand that appear to matter to america. taxes, healthcare reform and the rest. that's coming up.

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.

generation opportunity to fix america's broken tax coden a by pushing their harmful bat tax. the senate has said no way. president trump says it's too complicated and his top economic advisor says it will force consumers to pay more for everyday things they rely on. mnuchin: it has the potential to pass on significant costs to the consumer. vo: tell congress to drop the bat tax so real tax reform can get done that helps all americans. >> i'm lea gabrielle with the fox report. more with today's headlines. a bus bust into flames after colliding head on with a truck killing 20 people. that's in northern india. they say the bus' fuel tank exploded.

investigators say they could not identify the bodies because of the severe burns. 15 others were hurt. police in detroit say an off duty officer is in critical condition after getting into a shootout with a gunman that tried to rob him. cops say the gunman died. they say they arrested a second suspect and still searching for a third. in texas, forecasters are predicting more heavy rain in houston. that's after storms over the weekend flooded streets. crews made a dozen rescues after people got stranded in cars. the storms forced people to evacuate a music festival yesterday. the news continues with shepard smith after this.

it's ok that everybody ignores me when i drive. it's fine. because i get a safe driving bonus check every six months i'm accident free. because i don't use my cellphone when i'm driving. even though my family does, and leaves me all alone. here's something else... i don't share it with mom. i don't. right, mom? i have a brand new putter you don't even know about! it's awesome. safe driving bonus checks, only from allstate. sometimes i leave the seat up on purpose. switching to allstate is worth it. >> shepard: congress is back from vacation this week. there's a lot on the agenda. while lawmakers were away, president trump called for senate republicans to get moving on healthcare reform. the top senate republican says he does not see a way to pass a bill, at least not right now. the president tweeted that his

plan for tax cuts and reform was ahead of schedule. but so far we haven't seen a bill. congress also has to pass a bill to avoid a government shut down in the month of september, raise the debt ceiling so the united states doesn't default for the first time ever. mike emanuel with the news and lots of it on capitol hill. >> shep, good afternoon. a packed agenda. with the fourth of july holiday and the holiday recess, there's little time to get things done. john cornyn a member of the gop leadership told a texas radio station that the senate will pass a plan to repeal and replace obamacare by the end of july at the latest. richard burr of north carolina told a local tv station there, i think it's unlikely we'll get a healthcare deal. i don't see a comprehensive healthcare plan this year. the house colleagues are saying it's time for senators to step up. >> the healthcare bill has passed the house. it's in the senate.

that's probably not going to be the house members either way at this point. the senate needs to get 50 votes. they all campaigned on repeal and replace. this bill moves closer. it's not a full repeal but it's as good as we can do right now. >> some other pressure, steve mnuchin is calling on lawmakers to extend the government's borrowing authority, the debt ceiling, before the end of july, shep. >> shepard: anything new on tax reform? >> it's another big ticket item. a lot of thought that that will be easier for republicans to agree on. but still a heavy lift. president trump has tweeted about it saying the massive tax cuts reform that i have submitted is moving along in the process well. actually ahead of schedule. big benefits to all. the house democratic leader isn't buying it. >> the president keeps saying the tax bill is moving through. it doesn't exist. it doesn't exist. so you understand the frustration. it doesn't exist.

there is no tax bill moving through congress. >> the bigger challenge to tax reform may be the lobbyists that seem to shape it if their respective interests. >> shepard: mike emanuel, thanks. a.b. stoddard here from real clear politics. in this matter, nancy pelosi is right. there's no tax bill, right? >> that's true. the president last week in the rose garden when he went out to make his announcement about withdrawing from the paris climate agreement also brought this up, said his tax bill was moving along nicely through congress. there is no tax bill. nancy pelosi is correct. not only have they not brought democrats in the process, which they need to raise the debt ceiling this summer by the end of july to break the requester caps from 2011 and in order to increase the military spending and do the things he wants to do in his budget, they have not sort of make a bridge to the

democratic party in terms of making a deal with tax reform or any kind of infrastructure, which he of course was touting at the white house today. the tax reform will have to go through, if they're not going to work with democrats a very narrow process. to get that narrow procedure, they have to pass a 2018 budget. they don't know how they're going to get through raising the debt ceiling where they lose the conservatives that demand spending cuts, corresponding to the increase in the debt ceiling. a lot of political heat in that vote, a lot of intraparty division among republicans and the other procedural budget issues are challenging. they have a lot of deadlines ahead. there's the fear you can tell from the senators that one senator is saying we can't go home without a healthcare bill. the other saying i don't see it this year. they don't know how they'll face a voters with a bill that is

unpopular or without one. >> shepard: to get the tax reform, you still have to have a budget and raise the debt ceiling. with conservatives on the republican side saying we're not going to do that unless there's spending cuts, you can't get that done, can't get the others done and then you have nothing. >> they can't get to infrastructure tax reform, the big ticket campaign promise items that everyone says in both parties that we need let alone a fix for obamacare until you get through the other things. they require democrats. so far we haven't seen any work with the democrats this year say for the government funding bill that they got passed out in the beginning of may on which the president backed off on a bunch of priorities he said he would have to get, a dollar -- get rid of the obamacare cost sharing subsidies. he wanted money for the wall, all of she backed off on and democrats voted for. so this noncontroversial funding

bill. other than that, there's no outreach to the democrats and the republicans have told megan and again they can't raise the debt ceiling without them and they can't raise the sequester caps from which 11 which will allow them to write a budget for 2018 without getting some democratic help. this has to happen in the next 31 legislative days. before the end of the fiscal year, we have 43 legislative days between now and then. seems like a big mountain to climb. >> shepard: but they have to get something done. republicans say they have zero legislative accomplishments under this president. not one thing made its way through. they want to change that in a big way. who is a leader to step forward and say if you don't want to all go down in flames in the mid-terms in 2018, we have to get something done. who is that leader? >> it's not probably going to be the leaders that you're thinking of, which is the majority

leader, mcmcconnell and house speaker paul ryan. they are working behind the scenes trying to get -- they know that they -- no matter what is going on in the white house with travel ban tweets or russia probes or communication meltdown, they have to find something to run on next year. they're trying to get to consensus. these are really divisions within the republican party that they're not healing and sort of overcoming by reaching out to get democratic votes on board. that's what they have to do. they're running out of time. look at republicans in the senate. they want a medicaid expansion. a huge division. that's why they can't pass a health care bill. too many senators like senator collins of maine and portman of ohio say their citizens need a medicaid expansion. these are huge things in the republican party. they can keep fighting in private and in the back rooms about how to come to consensus. when they run out of time, they're probably going to have to work with democrats. >> a.b. stoddard, good to talk

to you. >> thanks, shep. >> shepard: after years, the case against bill cosby goes to trial today. he got a big show of support from one of his co stars. we'll take you there next.

>> shepard: this morning a gunman in orlando shot and killed five people at the company where he used to work. he was fired in april. that's according to the sheriff in orange county where orlando is. he said the suspect was an army veteran, a former co-worker had accused him of assault in the past. the sheriff says the man came into the building, pointing a gun at a woman and told her to leave before h victims. another woman told the associated press her sister called her from inside the building as the shooting was happening. she kept saying over and over, "my boss is dead, my boss is dead." steve harrigan with the story. what else do we know about the

shooter here? >> shepard, the shooter is john newman, 45 years old. lived alone. no family. he worked in this manufacturer of awnings for recreational vehicles for a number of years before being fired. according to security camera footage, he entered a back door of the warehouse at 8:00 a.m. he was armed with a handgun and targeted specific individuals that worked in the warehouse. he made several head shots killing four very quickly within minutes. sometimes firing multiple shots. made identification of the victims difficult. he stopped to reload and carried a large hunting knife that he didn't use. officials are saying there's no known ties to any terrorist organizations, shepard. >> shepard: this comes ahead of the anniversary of the pulse nightclub shooting. >> that's right. the governor says this has been a challenging year for orlando.

next week marks the year of the one-year anniversary of the pulse shooting. 49 people killed by a gunman who claimed allegiance to the islamic state. the worst mass shooting in u.s. history. a city on edge. some things they have changed during the course of the year. keep in mind during the hostage situation, it took three hours for police to finally make a breach and bring down the gunman. today, an active shooter operation. police were on scene and answered within two minutes. the quick response may have led to the fact that eight people survived. the gunman shot himself when the police entered the scene, shepard. >> thanks, steve. bill cosby getting support from his testimony v family on the first day of his sexual assault trial. the comedian, one time america's dad, showed up to court alongside his tv daughter, rudy huxtable. today the prosecutor gave opening statements. in this court, cosby accused of

drugging and sexually assaulting his alma mater. today there is no dispute that bill cosby gave her a pill. the question is whether she had the ability to consent at the time. a defense attorney said cosby gave her benadryl after she complained she couldn't sleep. dozens of women have made sexual assault allegations against bill cosby. case pertains to one of them. priva privatizing air traffic control. the president says he can cut down on flight delays. critics say passengers would pay the price. the new proposal coming up. you could spend the next few days weeding through w2s, pay stubs and bank statements to refinance your home. or you could push that button.

>> shepard: president trump says the nation's air traffic control system is out of date and expensive. he's right. it's costing the economy billion as year in delays. this morning at the white house, he rolled out a plan to privatize the work of air traffic controllers. >> it will reduce cost and increase convenience for every american consumer. these new efficiencies will produce a huge economic boost for the country and for the one in 14 american jobs that aviation supports. >> u.s. airlines have supported privatization for years. critics are questioning what it would mean for passengers and safety. let's go to ted mann for the "wall street journal." the airlines are for this because they would have more control over this. but what about for the passenger? the f.a.a. doesn't -- air traffic controllers can't change the weather. so on that matter, it's not like they can change delays. that's mainly what air traffic controllers deal with, isn't it?

>> yeah, i think the president is talking about two things here. one is the move to privatize and bring this outside the government and into a new nonprofit entity. and then he's talking about next gen air traffic control. it's something that the federal government has been working on. what the administration is saying, if you moved air traffic control outside of the f.a.a., if you funded it not through taxes but through user fees paid for by airlines and by the flying public, that they would provide stability that would enable them to more quickly roll out the new system of gps-based air traffic control that in theory will improve delays and increase the efficiency of air travel. >> shepard: in whose theory? there seems not to be a consensus. if you look at other countries, some have done this and from what i've read, i don't see it's

made things cheaper or more efficient. >> well, that's the thing. they're talking about two ideas at the same time today. the argument that you could have this safety function of air traffic control housed in an entity that is not part of the government but is regulated by the government. they are the backers of this. congress points to europe and canada and places where this is working as a matter of safety. the longer temporary goal and what the president talked about today is on next gen and a system that would save time and money. that's something that the existing government agencies have been trying to build and trying to get airlines to improve their equipment so that they could work on a system like that. that's a longer term reach goal. they're saying we can get there easier if you took them up on privatizing this function of the government. the airlines are for this. others have signed on. what from your reporting are the

chances of getting this pushed through a legislative body? >> i think the backers of this in congress feel better this they have a president pushing for it. this is the proposal that's been around a couple years but this is a big shove that was not happening in the past administration. they also have secretary of defense saying they can find a way to work with this, too. >> great to talk to you. thanks very much. ted mann from the "wall street journal." we'll be back for the top of the hour headlines. that's next. i never joined in. that wasn't fair to any of us. i was covered. i tried lots of things over the years. but i didn't give up. i kept on fighting. i found something that worked. that still works. now? see me. see me. i found clear skin that lasts. see if cosentyx could make a difference for you- cosentyx is proven to help people with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis... ...find clear skin that can last.

>> shepard: on this day in 1661, isaac newton enrolled as a student in cambridge in england. newton is probably most famous for his works on physics and laws of motion. as the story goes, he discovered gravity. he explained how planets move through space and gravities roll in the moon's orbit. he wrote about history and he
