>> what show, many thanks to charles payne. >> it was fantastic, happy fourth of july to everyone. >> "happening now" starts right now. >> heather: we start with a fox news alert, president trump meeting with the leader of one of our closest asian allies. >> jon: the president of south korea south korea that u.s. has its back. we are covering all the news, "happening now" ." >> is a more important to call my heels and my office waiting for these conversations to take place, or speak with constituents? >> jon: lawmakers heading home for the fourth of july holiday after coming up short on health care, many of them will be facing frustrated voters in their home states. a potential bombshell in the investigation of russian interference in the 2016 election, the revelations that

could bolster collusion claims against the trump campaign. and the president is tweeting again today and his ongoing battle with two cable news host. is mr. trump getting in the way of his own agenda? it's all happening now. we begin with president trump welcoming another world leader to the white house on this friday, south korean president moon jae-in making his first trip to the u.s. welcome to the second hour of "happening now," i am jon scott. >> heather: i'm heather childers. it is friday. >> jon: it is a long weekend for a lot of people. >> heather: president trump and the south korean president making a joint statement about an hour ago, the two leaders discussing future relations between the u.s. and south korea, which included talks on how to handle north korea. at this as president trump also

deals with the majors issues here at home like health care, with the senate g.o.p. bill now stuck in neutral. >> jon: we have live team fox coverage. we begin with the white house correspondent kevin corke live on the north line. >> you are right about that health care talk, this is what a lot of republicans have been angling for, let's repeal it and come back later and replace it. what they are telling me is what that does is it removes some of the barriers to creating meaningful tax reform which the white house would like to get done later this year, and it also gives congress a chance to put its stamp on an entirely different program, presumably a better program. in the tree today, the president

he said look, you campaigned and one on the repeal of obamacare, so that every republican senator. we should keep our word. while the arm-twisting and backroom dealing continues on health care, the president turning his attention today to international affairs. while going the president of south korea to the oval office, and later the two men made joint statements in the rose garden. >> i think president moon for expressing his condolences, on the tragedy of otto's death, our thoughts and prayers remain with his wonderful family. many years, the north korean regime has failed. and frankly, the patients is over. >> we will get more detail and background information as we bring you the gaggle, it will

not be on camera. it is coming today at 2:00, we will hear from sarah huckabee sanders. for now, back to you. >> jon: enjoy the gaggle, we are looking forward to your report. >> heather: you just like saying gaggle. >> jon: i do. >> heather: republican senators racing against the clock as they try to reach some sort of deal on health care before leaving town for the fourth of july recess. with time running out, the chance of coming to an agreement looking increasingly remote. mike emanuel is live for us on capitol hill with the latest on that. hi, mike. >> it appears that some are public and senators are feeling the pressure of the calendar. their letter to the majority leader is asking that he cancel the august recess, since a

significant has not been made on health care, dealing with the debt ceiling, passing budget resolution and improving our tax code. they wrote -- meanwhile, as negotiations continue over the health care reform bill, some senators have gone home to take care of other business. >> let me ask you, isn't more important to call my heels in my office waiting for these conversations to take place, or speak with constituents? i think it is better to go home and speak with constituents. >> majority leader mitch mcconnell is sending various ideas to the congressional budget office for evaluation to rework health care legislation

for when lawmakers return after this independence day recess. >> my focus has been on ensuring that low income ohio residents continue to receive care, particularly with the opiate epidemic we have in our state. >> on the other sides, democrats continue to attack the g.o.p. proposal. >> the idea is so backwards, so out of step with what america wants and what actually works, it can never succeed no matter how it is tweaked. one thing my republican friends are latching onto, that they are bill will bring down average premium several years down the line, is really a bait and switch. >> a lot of focus has shifted to july 10th when senators return to see if they can strike a deal on health care reform. >> heather: 218 days off in 2017, wouldn't that be nice? that's what congress has, apparently. not a lot of work getting done.

>> jon: with the clock ticking for republicans to strike some kind of a deal, senator rand paul proposes a way to move forward. he says health care could pass if senators split the bill in two. he says president trump seem to agree, take a look. >> what i have come up with, and i talked to the president yesterday about this, what about dividing the bill in two? do the repeal, which no democrat will vote for, repeal the taxes, repeal the regulations, do the fix to medicaid that helps to pay for everything. take the spending and put it in a bill that the democrats will vote for. there are about 20 different bills democrats vote for every year, stick it in one of those bills, you have two bills, boom, you get it done in 5 minutes. president seems open and interested in the idea. >> jon: let's talk about it,

he says the president like the sound of the idea but it doesn't seem like his proposal is flying anywhere among his republican senate colleagues, why not? >> is a very risky strategy, this is something that rand paul is promoting, it's really not a new idea. this has been effectively talking about going back to the initial proposal at the start of the republican congress, which was to do repeal first and then do whatever it took to reform health care after that. this is what they were confronted with initially, they decided they wanted to do these things concurrently to avoid the drama and the potential downfalls of taking away this whole big piece of government bureaucracy all in one fell swoop. i don't see a whole lot of appetite for this among republican leaders. i think it is an idea that sounds good in theory, if you look at the polls, most people

hope that congress will craft our replacement and pass that at the same time that it repeals obamacare. >> jon: there are things about obamacare that americans clearly like, for instance the band on insurance companies denying you if you have a pre-existing condition, the ability to keep younger people on their parents insurance policies until they hit the age of 26, those are things people like. if you repeal obamacare, you repeal things like that right away, right? >> i think that is the message that people weren't quite consuming before the imminent repeal of obamacare came along, before republican scott in charge. he. suddenly they realized there were certain benefits, government subsidies that were involved in this. basically, any time you about taking away what is so somewhaf an entitlement program, the american people are very reluctant to get rid of something whole hog and try to replace it. i think this is a difficult

proposal, i think in theory it makes a lot of sense, you would be putting some pressure on democrats to vote for something, but you never know what you are going to get. once you repeal obamacare, would democrats hold a tough line against medicaid cuts? you don't know exactly what you are going to get. republicans will be in the position of having a full repeal of obamacare without a replacement if they couldn't pass something. >> jon: the president talked about letting obamacare collapse and letting the democrats carry the blame, there has been talk about defunding obamacare and letting the system fall apart, hoping that democrats would get the blame, is that a realistic proposal? >> i think the first one is the most realistic goal here. there are certainly problems with obamacare, democrats are even talking about those, a

democratic government candidate in minnesota talked about how the dnc wanted him to say that obamacare is great but it is failing his constituents. i think if they backed off for a while, the debate was more about how insurers are pulling out of these marketplaces, eventually they could perhaps get to a spot where democrats and republicans would come together and do something much smaller and more bipartisan on this. i don't think they are in that position right now but i think that is the most likely outcome before actually getting legislation passed. >> jon: we will see if you are right about that, we'll see what happens. >> heather: coming up, the fight against isis coming to a close and mosul. iraqi forces making a big push to drive isis completely out of the city they once controlled. is the battle just about over? plus, the u.s. and nato about

two send more troops to afghanistan. >> the bottom line is nato has made a commitment because the freedom, freedom from fear, freedom from terrorism, demands that this not be left undone. inr arthritis pain for up to 12 hours with just one pill. this is my pain. but i am stronger. aleve. all day strong. when a fire destroyedwith us everything in our living room. we replaced it all without touching our savings. yeah, our insurance won't do that. no. you can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance. the roles you play in life are parlet's dance grandma! you. and you're not going to let anything keep you sidelined. come on! that's why you drink ensure. with nutritious calories

(singsong) budget meeting. sweet. if you compare last quarter... it's no wonder everything seems a little better with the creamy taste of philly, made with no artificial preservatives, flavours or dyes.

>> heather: as the war in afghanistan drags on, nato is stepping up its commitment by agreeing to send more troops and military commanders are asking as many as 3,000 troops to train and work alongside afghan security forces. that number does not include an additional 4,000 american troops who could be deployed there. defense secretary james mattis attending a nato summit in brussels saying he is pleased that u.s. allies are willing to do more to help. >> jon: a scary scene in california, life pictures coming right now of a twin engine that

crash landed on the 405 freeway near the orange county airport. trace gallagher is joining us now with a bit more. >> it crashed on the four 405 y freeway, traffic is going to be a disaster for the remainder of the day. we know the 310 was coming into john wayne airport, it was on the final approach which gives you an indication they were in contact with the tower. this thing went down so fast, if you look at the pictures right here, it was right before the runway, it hit the southbound lane, missed to the lane altogether.

if you cleared that right there, you are almost on the runway. at this thing apparently dropped very quickly, hit the side of the road, its bond and you see right there in the middle of all that white foam, that is the plane, there is a better look at it right there. we believe to call people were on board, we have confirmed that two people were on board this plane and both of them have been taken out, they are both alive and have been taken to a hospital. the severity of their injuries, we do not yet know. we have firefighters on scene, traffic in both directions, you can see it move slightly on the northbound four 405 but they he checked on the carpool lane, this plane we believe was flown to palm springs yesterday and was coming back today. we know who owns it but we are not going to say right now, it is not pertinent and we want to make sure we have our facts correct. we haven't heard anything from john wayne airport except that all arrivals have been shut dow

down, in essence they are letting planes leave but they are not letting planes come in. you only have so many planes on the ground. once those planes all leave, the airport will also be shut down. holiday weekend, people who are going to john wayne international airport have got to make other arrangements, there will be no way out of there for at least the next several hours and may be the remainder the day. just to recap, 310 cessna twin engine, six cedar crashed coming in, final approach to john wayne international airport, it hit the southbound lane of the 405 which is the busiest freeway in the country bar none. it's going to be asked the rest of the day, we will update you as we get more information. >> jon: we see the debris of the plane, no cars, is it possible it did not hit a single car? >> it is likely, we haven't got any reports at all of this plane

striking a car. it apparently was almost looked like it was landing on the 405. it's unclear, we don't know if this had engine problems, whether in southern california is certainly not an issue. we don't know if it had some type of engine problem, if something happened on board. we don't know it may be something in the air happened and i had to make a quick turn to avoid some other oncoming or incoming traffic. so far, there has been no reports that this plane hit any oncoming traffic on the for them at 405, which in itself is a miracle because rush-hour is ready much -- in perpetuity in southern california. the freeway it was jammed and for this thing not to have had a single car, it is very fortuitous for a lot of drivers in that area. >> jon: something of a miracle, trace gallagher from our west coast bureau, thanks very much.

>> heather: iraqi troops making big gains against isis in the city of mosul, benjamin hall is live for us in london with the very latest on this. >> for a while now, iraqi military have been saying they are just moments away from recapturing all of mosul. because of the brutal urban landscape, isis has been able to put up fierce resistance, not to mention the human shields they have been using, this battle keeps going on and on. recently there have been some gains made as they moved forward street by street in the old cit city. they went out 800 yards from the river, but it is thought even the short distance might take a few weeks. nevertheless, on thursday, iraq's prime minister declared an end to the isis caliphate.

it is a hugely symbolic site from where the isis leaders declared the caliphate nearly three years ago. today civilians were streaming out of the old city with their belongings, 800,000 i thought to have fled since the start of the battle but tens of thousands remained there. much of the old city is now destroyed, but as isis loses territory, the focus is moving to what comes next. already you have militias in the west of the country saying they want to take over from the iraqi military, not to mention the geopolitical cauldron in syria where they are all fighting for the peace of the pie. it is what comes ahead that frightens many people. >> heather: benjamin hall live, thank you. >> jon: president trump is taking more heat for his tweets. as members of his own party are now criticizing his use of social media, saying it distracts from his agenda.

we'll discuss this next. >> you cannot blame the media or anyone but president trump for being the biggest instructor to his own agenda when he puts out tweets as provocative as these. ♪ if you could book a flight, then add a hotel, or car, or activity in one place and save, where would you go? ♪ expedia.

>> heather: president trump is once again making controversial tweets after he fired off another volley in his battle with two morning show coast. the administration should be celebrating legislative victory with the president's travel ban taking effect and congress passing two major immigration laws. john mccormick told us that the president is getting in his own way when it comes to his agenda. >> it is distracting from any part of his agenda.

if he wants to repeal and replace obamacare, the effort of passing obamacare took a lot of work for this president. >> heather: joining me now is howard kurtz, of fox media analyst and host of media buzz, thank you for joining us. more to talk about again today. it was energy week if anybody remembers that, president mooney from south korea was here but instead we are talking about more tweets. >> president trump has an uncanny ability to step on his own story using twitter, even his own allies acknowledge that. last night, the travel ban would have been the lead story everywhere but instead everybody is buzzing about the tweets against mika brzezinski. it is the lead story with "new york times," especially with joe scarborough and mika brzezinski spending a half an hour this morning to respond to

the president, question his mental fitness for office, this is going to go on for days. >> heather: let's just take "cbs evening news" alone, we have a study that was put together, the trump tweets, 2 minutes and 34 seconds, the travel ban, 20 seconds. case law and the sanctuary city bill, zero seconds spent on that at all in the tire "cbs evening news" ." he is playing into their hands, right? >> the administration has often argued that we spend too much time on pseudo-scandals and so forth instead of focusing on substantive policy and development, and hear the president put out the red meat. sometimes the president does this deliberately, but whether you like this president or not, he is a very media savvy guy, he

knew this would cause an explosion, the kind of wording he used against mika brzezinski and did it anyway. >> heather: or you -- i was surprised that he tweeted out again this morning, i was surprised that he did that, what did you think? >> he is entitled to defend himself, they spent half an hour bashing him. they would say they were responding to the tweet about the face-lift. here is the thing, very few people are defending the substance of his tweet because it was so personal against a woman and he has had some problems in that regard before. the coverage has been pretty one-sided, what is downplayed and sometimes ignored his just about every day, they go on the air and attack donald trump and often in a very harshly personal terms. mentally ill, he's a thug, they are entitled to do that.

i get it, he is the president, they are a couple of cable news host, but i think when we tell the story, the context should be that the battering that heat has taken got under his skin and he decided it was time to hit back. >> heather: quickly, you are able to talk with the "national enquirer," that was the story that came out of this today. >> the editor of the "national enquirer" told me that the newspaper had done a story about the romance of joe and mika before it was public. that is hanging out there is another sideline. >> jon: the "national enquirer," it is too juicy. >> heather: let's talk about policy, health care, tax reform instead. >> jon: how about just celebrating independence day?

>> heather: that is going on, too. >> jon: resident trumps commission to investigate alleged voter fraud is looking for all sorts of information about you, the voter. what the commission wants and why some state officials are refusing its request. add to this -- voters spoke of loud and clear, now lawmakers could get another earful when they head home for the fourth of july recess. i totally could've - no! switching to allstate is worth it.

i was always "tpeople don't stare anymore. 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. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx. before starting cosentyx, you should be checked for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infections and lowered ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms. or if you have received a vaccine or plan to. if you have inflammatory bowel disease, tell your doctor if symptoms develop or worsen. serious allergic reactions may occur. see me to know... ...clear skin can last. don't hold back... ...ask your dermatologist if cosentyx can help you find clear skin that lasts.

>> jon: this may be what awaits lawmakers as they head home for the july 4th break. back in february, protesters flooded louisiana senator bill cassidy's town hall, protesting the house measures to repeal obamacare. senate republicans are now working on the same thing and activists are urging voters to confront those lawmakers wherever they can. as a republican senate candidates, if you were to encounter dull cries of protest, how do you answer them? >> i think it is very important that americans feel comfortable protesting. as long as protesters do this

safely, i think it is one of the most beautiful parts of our democracy. i would encourage protesters to consider this. our elected officials are elected to represent a very broad constituency. there are some people who are very much in favor of the proposed health care bill, we need people to understand that differences of opinion are not necessarily bad, it is important to debate and do it with respect. >> jon: it is no secret that liberal groups are encouraging members -- or not even members, people they can get in contact with two flood especially republican senator and congressional offices and events and rallies, with this kind of protest. does it have an impact? >> i agree with virtually everything lena just said, this is part of our democracy works. let's talk about the specific bill. this bill will do direct harm to

tens and tens of millions of people, their lives will be materially worse, they will lose free existing coverage, lose their health insurance, their premiums will go up. if you are ever going to get agitated or active about something, it is when it has a direct impact on you and your family. i don't know why republicans are surprised at the backlash, this is the most popular majors piece of legislation in the past 70 years, they are going to hear from their constituents over the next week for sure. >> jon: may be the most unpopular since the actual passage of obamacare. >> this is much more popular than obamacare ever was. >> jon: what about that? if you are a senator and you have a room full of angry people screaming at you, doesn't it affect the way you feel about a piece of legislation? >> i think he really bears wait to highlight the fact that in november of 2016, americans spoke loud and clear that they wanted to find a new solution to

a health care system that is broken. now that there is dissent among the ranks, we need to allow the american process to ensue. it is very important for constituents to speak up to their elected officials. there are lots of people who are speaking up in favor of this bill, we are not protesting, we are sending our messages in other ways to elected officials in support of the bill. i think that is very important to remember. just because we are not the loudest in the room does not mean we don't represent the majority. >> jon: there are elements of obamacare that are simply not working, companies are pulling out of these exchanges and hundreds of counties over the country. >> i agree with you, but there are problems with obamacare, everything the republicans are proposing will make this works, none of this is a fixed, there

is no fix year. more people will be without insurance, premiums will continue to rise, more people will not have pre-existing coverage, and why? to give tax cuts to the wealthiest among us. it is going to make the health care system far worse than what we have today. what i hope happens as republicans get on earful and come back to work with the democrats. >> jon: we are going to have to leave it there, happy fourth of july for both of you. >> heather: president trumps commission investigating voter fraud is now looking for a wide range of information from states. names of voters, addresses, party affiliations and voting history, but some officials are saying no way, you are not going to get it. james rosen has more from our d.c. bureau on that.

hi, james. >> when president trump set up this commission, even some republican secretaries of state reacted skeptically. now democrats are vowing to defy the panel under the executive order that established the commission. mike pence held an organizational call with members just ahead of the vice chair. sending a letter to all 49 of his colleagues requesting, among other things, the full first and last names of all registrants, addresses, dates of birth, political party, last four digits of social security number, voter history, active and status, voter registration and other states, information regarding military status, kinetic secretary of state said

connecticut will ensure that the privacy of voters is honored by withholding protected data. virginia's democratic governor unsurprisingly said -- the white house remains firm that the commission will move forward with its work, ultimately producing recommendations designed to protect and preserve the principles of one person, one vote. >> heather: it is an american right, thank you so much, appreciate it.

>> jon: a g.o.p. operative tried to obtain hillary clinton's emails from hackers, according to one newspaper. our panel weighs in on a new "wall street journal" story on the 2016 election. >> in many cases, he would invoke michael flynn's name and say "i'm talking to michael flynn" that kind of treatment. but never directly said he was working with michael flynn. managing blood sugar is not a marathon. it's a series of smart choices. and when you replace one meal or snack a day with glucerna made with carbsteady to help minimize blood sugar spikes you can really feel it. glucerna. everyday progress.

>> jon: getting back to a story we discussed in the first hour of "happening now," a fascinating "wall street journal" report on the 2016 election. according to this report, a longtime republican operative tried to obtain emails from hillary clinton's private server, which presumably were hacked by russians. the story quotes, that republican operative who is now dead it was implying that he was working with retired general

michael flynn, implying is important here. at the time, flynn was a national security advisor to the trump campaign. >> he hired a team of people and they went out looking to see if they could find any hackers, they identified five groups, of which two of those hacker groups were determined to be russian, they started to see if they could get the emails. >> jon: is an interesting but sometimes confusing story, i would encourage you to read it if you haven't yet. joining us now, former u.s. army intelligence officer. well-known republican operative in chicago, he was apparently out there fishing for the email, he was fishing for the 30,000 deleted emails from hillary clinton's basement server. >> i can totally see it g.o.p. operatives and opposition researchers looking for those

30,000 emails. that was the other big narrative of the campaign, that she use the program bleach bid on her private server to delete these emails before the fbi could get to them. >> jon: candidate trump even said if the russians had the stuff, i'm sure people would love to see it. >> that may be what gets him in trouble, that is what's going to be this narrative. he said that in a very offhand way, in a joking way that he used for a lot of his campaign rhetoric, but the democrats and mainstream media and i think particularly what could be concerning his members of special counsel staff may look at that and say hey, the president was actually asking for russian help on the 30,000 missed emails. >> jon: according to the article, this gentleman who is now dead implied but never really said that he was working with mike flynn, who again, was the advisor to the campaign on national security.

>> that is absolutely right, that is telling to me because a lot of opposition research firms are contractors, they create a product and sell it to the campaign. telling flynn or telling somebody who is loosely involved with the campaign we have something for you is very different than being tapped by them to go find information. >> jon: the story is interesting but it's a long way from collusion between the trump campaign on the russians. there are five or six leaps he would have to make to get that solidified. >> the left is going to push this beyond the bounds of fantasy, not only is there no collusion with the russians which is the narrative on the hacking, but there is no event itself, there is no evidence that hillary clinton's emails were ever hacked by anybody, let alone russia. this is a very thin reach the democrats get worked up about.

>> jon: good to have you here, thank you. >> heather: critics of the presidents travel ban are being very vocal about their opposition. a revised version of the band going into effect last night, but will it stand? our legal panel weighs in on this, next. beyond is a natural pet food that goes beyond assuming ingredients are safe... to knowing they are. going beyond expectations... because our pets deserve it. beyond. natural pet food. hey katy, i'm going to go ahead and invade your personal space to run some things by you. it's going to look like i'm listening

but i'm actually just paying attention to nugget. cool. i'll pretend you're answering the questions i have. i'll scroll through my feed and avoid making eye contact. i'm just going to keep hovering. wouldn't it be great if everyone said what they meant? hovering away. boo boo boo [making noise at nugget] the citi® double cash card does. only citi lets you earn 1% cash back when you buy, and 1% as you pay. the citi® double cash card. double means double.

>> hi, everyone, i'm julie banderas, we are awaiting the white house briefing. it is off-camera but don't you worry, we will be listening. plus, governor scott walker will join us live to talk health care, immigration, and guess who's tweets? do you like breadsticks, pasta,

and the olive garden? we will have some news you can use coming up on "america's news headquarters" ." >> heather: president trump's travel ban is now in effect across the country. the ban limiting entry to the u.s. from six muslim majority nations has been at the center of several court challenges, as you know. president trump signing the first travel ban restricting entry from seven nations just days after he was sworn into office, and then in february or washington state judge issued an order to halt enforcement of the ban. the administration filed an appeal and days later a three-judge panel denied the application and the hold order stayed in place. in march, president trump signed a revised travel ban, hawaii and maryland filed lawsuits in the ban was halted. the trump administration filed appeals with the supreme court for both of those cases and on monday, the supreme court allowed the travel ban to be implement it temporarily.

the justices will take up the case and make a final ruling in the fall. got all that? last night, the travel ban went into effect and hawaii's attorney general filed an emergency motion asking for clarification on the new exclusions. the six countries impacted right now are iran, libya, syria, somalia, sudan, and yemen, and this exception that was made has to do with people who can have a critical demand credible claim of a bona fide relationship with someone in the u.s. a spouse, parent, child, sibling or fiance, does not include grandparents, aunts, uncles, nephews, or nieces and that seems to be part of the problem that the hawaii attorney general has, do i have that right? >> you are exactly right, that

is what this is all about. what is a bona fide relationship and to whom does not extend? interestingly, in implement into order, the administration looked to the 1965 immigration act to determine what a relationship was, and added its own to include in-laws because that may have been referenced in the supreme court's order. to go to a federal judge in hawaii, i practiced in the federal courthouse in hawaii in year for, to ask that judge to interpret the u.s. supreme court is almost unprecedented, i will be curious to see what the judge does. >> i don't think this is going to go anywhere, i think we will see more and more challenges like this. the reality is, the state of hawaii is asking the judge to more broadly define close family ties. obviously wanted to be far more encompassing, but the problem is the united states supreme court is the highest court in the land, they've already ruled, they have ruled that the

president has the executive power to issue executive orders like this. with that comes the discretion and the authority to define the terms that go with that executive order. they might not like the way the administration to find it, but the supreme court has spoken. >> heather: we will find an october when they hear it. let's move to this next case, tennis star venus williams is facing a lawsuit following a fatal car crash happened back in june, it ended in the fatality of a 78-year-old man, his wife was driving the car at the time, but there have been no charges filed against venus williams even though witnesses at the scene say she was the fact who ran a red light and caused it. >> this is our right ankle collusion, it is very tragic, that an individual lost his lif life, from all accounts she was going 5 miles an hour when she went through a red light or when

through a stop sign. she may have caused the accident and they teach you in law schoo school, you take your plaintiffs as you find them. ultimately, he died as a result of the accident, that is her fault. the lawsuit is not -- a lawsuit is exactly what you would expect. i would also expect the police to hold onto her card, their card, hold onto the evidence until they are finished with it. be patient, sit down and wait. >> heather: she has not been charged with anything, no citations, no traffic violations, nothing at all. >> this is an unfortunate accident, i don't see any criminal liability here. you would have to show recklessness, a conscious disregard for the safety of others. of the police report, they found her at fault, but they said there were no drugs in her system, no alcohol in her system, she was only going

5 miles an hour. i don't see criminal liability, i certainly see civil liability. >> heather: she did express our condolences. thank you both for joining us, appreciate it. a lot of breaking news today, have to cut you off. we'll be right back.
