an infection. just managing your symptoms? ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, remission is possible. good afternoon, i'm eric shawn and this is a brand-new hour of america's news headquarters. jillian: i'm jillian turner and for in for rfl this evening. tapping the news this hour is president chavez heading back to washington dc later tonight. he spent some of the july 4th weekend at his new jersey golf club. eric: we are now waiting for the president to go back to washington dc and this is a fresh -- several states now

fighting back against that presidential mandate. jillian: gunshots ringing out at a nightclub in little rock, arkansas and more than two dozen people have been caught in the crossfire and others were trampled. partygoers iran for cover. eric: this afternoon, welcome. to begin with present transfer. a major speech later tonight and it's at a celebrate freedom rally in washington dc. that's to be expected to pay tribute to our nation's veterans on this fourth of july weekend. the president, meanwhile, gearing up for another round of healthcare negotiations. he's offering you advice to his republican colleagues on capitol hill and will they take it? peter following the president today joins us live from bridgewater, new jersey which is right near the president golf state where he's been spending the weekend. meanwhile, while the president is there, peter, had they made progress dealing with health care issue today contract with mac now that we know of. it's been almost a full year since the senate majority

leader, mitch mcconnell, told the republican national committee convention crowd that he put obamacare repeal on president obama's desk and he vetoed it but donald trump would sign it. here's the thing, mcconnell still hasn't been anything unpleasant trumps desk design. now, he appears to be sick of questions about what's taking so long. telling a group of reporters quote it's not easy making america great again, is it a few days ago present trump gave lawmakers in his party a long leash telling the white house that obamacare doesn't get repaired, that's okay. yesterday, the president quoted a new strategy to break the stalemate, strategy would split the obamacare debate in the new parts, repeal it first and then replace it later. mcconnell is saying that is not going to happen and nothing is going to happen until republicans can come together with themselves, with each other, and agree on something to

replace obamacare first. eric: talking about trying to come together and agree with each other, how much can the republicans say that they will have to try to replace obamacare with something that could pass the senate? reporter: it's hard to tell because they keep missing these self-imposed deadlines to come up with a new plan. a group of ten republican senators is asking the majority leader, mitch mcconnell, to give them more time to work and cancel the august resource currently scheduled in a way that keeps senators away from dc for all of august. a group of a dozen house republicans are doing the same thing now sending a similar letter to speaker ryan saying they don't want to go home without doing the number one thing on their 200 day plan and the president is going to interrupt his long weekend to go back to dc within the next hour or so but not to tend to the scuffles that lawmakers have been making. he'll give a speech at the kennedy center at an event honoring veterans and wounded warriors and patients from walter reed national medical center and then he'll have him back to the garden state for the

next couple days. eric. eric: thanks so much. senators that they may be close but there's a few votes away. see the comes of it later on this coming week. meanwhile, his evangelical church in dallas, one of the sponsors of the event tonight at the kennedy center center, will be set for a p.m. and we, of course, will have it. honoring veterans tonight of the july 4th weekend, 8:00 p.m. here on the fox news channel. jillian. jillian: president trumps travel ban is now getting some pushback from hawaii's attorney general. the state fired an emergency motion to clarify exactly who is affected by this band. it bars citizens, as you know, from six different countries from entering the us unless the computer they have a close relative already living here. the attorney general is now asking why some extended family members grandparents, for example, are left off the list. next we tried to reach out to the us government with our own

list of people we felt that would constitute a bona fide relationship with an individual or entity in the united states. we've heard nothing. jillian: will car, joins us live from los angeles international airport with the latest on this court battle. what can you tell us? reporter: jillian, the federal judge will make a ruling on this upcoming week on hawaii's emergency motion but you have to keep in mind that this is a watered-down version of the initial trial man that sparked protests and efforts all across the country earlier this year. the supreme court allowed the revised plan to go into effect on thursday but again, this is a scaled down. it will ultimately be the supreme court will decide but because this is a lesser version we've only seen a handful of protesters and airports across

the country over the past couple of days. in the meantime, six countries will be impacted: iran, libya, sudan, syria and yemen. there are exceptions for travelers with a bona fide tie to a person in the united states that includes immediate family members but does not include grandkids or grandparents. >> what does the us government have against grandmother's? why are those people not allowed to come into the country and what national security initiative are we thinking about? reporter: the supreme court is set to make a final determination on the travel man and its fall term later this year. jillian. jillian: thanks, well. the second time around is going a lot smoother for the trump administration. thanks for that, well. eric: meanwhile, the white house is facing a backlash over present trump panel here to mosquitoes about in the panel issued a nationwide request to all 50 states and over some of

that sensitive voter data. growing number of the states is going back in there refusing to comply with that request. some say the order is a violation of privacy and others say it's not even needed and allegations of voter fraud, they say, are not widespread. we'll have more on this later but first now garrett with the various latest on how this battle is shaping up. >> the administration got fired responses yesterday from state officials across the country both democrats and republicans. it made present trump signed an executive order seen a presidential advisory commission on lack election integrity and this is in order to investigate allegations of voter fraud in the 2016 race. on friday, the commission sent a letter to the states requesting publicly available information on those who are registered to vote in each state, including their full names, birth dates, addresses, political party as well as the last four digits of their social security number. at least ten states, so far, have said they will not provide

any information. nineteen, at least, have said they will only provide some of what was president. democrats have slammed the request as an attempt to suppress borders but even some republicans are scoffing. mississippi secretary of state said he hadn't yet received the request but if he did, quote my reply would be taken go jump in the gulf of mexico and mississippi is a great state to launch from. last night, chris kovach who is the vice chair of the present commission told tucker carlson that the commission is trying to do something that has never been done before. >> one thing that has never been done that is important is the federal government knows the names of more than 15 million aliens who are living in the united states. i think in fact is closer to more than 3 million. the individuals are ongoing cards or temporary visas but the states have never been permitted to see how many of those aliens have registered for both in my state. the number is likely to be high. reporter: the president weighed in on the meeting numerous

states are refusing to give information to the very distinguished border fraud panel. what are they trying to hide the commission is scheduled to hold its first meeting on july 19th though it's not clear right now how much information they'll have to work with. eric: the next hour will be delving into this further on this issue of alleged voter fraud. thank you. jillian. jillian: now, a freshman democratic is trying to rally support for controversial bill. it's a measure that would judge the president's mental health and could even potentially removed from office. allison barber has more on this train is live from our nations capital. good evening, allison. reporter: hi jillian. a democrat maryland is increasing support of bill he drafted a couple months ago and would establish a panel to determine whether or not the president is fit to serve. representative janie's bill is headed to committee in may and at the time he said 20

democratic lawmakers signed on as a cosponsor. that number is increasing slightly. >> something is simply wrong if the white house and whoever is in control over there can get on top of it and pull back from this terrible situation. >> president obama tweeted about mika joe georgia congressman, added his name to the list of cosponsors. they argue that section four of the 24 amendment gives congress the power to set up a permanent buy to decide whether or not the president is able to perform the responsibility of the office. to that effect, raskin wants to create a quote a nonpartisan body known as the oversight commission on presidential capacity. this president for this president and future once practices national security and this is why the framers of the fifth amendment it in. we have to make sure that we have a president who is able to faithfully discharge the duties of office. >> trump supporters say this is nonsense. >> 63 million people voted for

donald trump to come and change washington and they hated that what he is doing. the do anything they can to try to stop him from being successful. >> it's like the left can't remember that the election is over. people have spoken and donald trump is actually trying to move forward these policies and that individual in the blue states actually supported. >> on the 218 yes votes to pass the house, raskin's proposal still has a very long way to go. jillian. jillian: thanks that reporting, allison. president trump is ready to go for his first face-to-face meeting with russian president letter put in. coming off a member of the house foreign affairs committee will tell us exactly what to expect. eric: will have the latest on the train tournament in illinois. look at that. it's built thousands of gallons of oil. a doctor in new york storming hospital where he used to work shooting and killing one person, wounding several others and how his former colleagues may have helped save numerous life. more on that. >> doctors and nurses and all the personnel responded with extraordinary bravery.

what will come out of it and how they will interact with each other. the meeting will be on the sidelines of the g27 summit in hamburg, germany. it comes amid several investigations into russian election hacking and interference in our election. this is the latest fox news poll shows you americans are actually happy with how president obama and president trump have handled the situation. take a look at the numbers. those polls show little faith in our intelligence agencies over that and combined 69% say that either somewhat or not at all confident in the intelligence community that it can stop russia from interfering in the next election which many expect moscow will attempt again. so, what can we expect from the two presidents get together? twenty is knowledgeable in commerce and of florida the member of the house foreign affairs committee. congressman, this meeting will

be analyzed, detailed, examined, studied, every facial tech, every handshake, first of all in terms of substance, do you think the president will call out put into his face was like do you think will talk about russian interference in the election and for him, admonish him perhaps and not bring it up at all to. >> i don't think it would be in the united states interest to get into a shouting match with president about the cyber business but i think the president got an opportunity to do here is to strike carefully and forcibly and establish with prussia or the present that we care for having a regular, diplomatic, by lateral diplomatic relationship with prussia as we've had before. we will not indulge in some of the nonsense that is happened in the last eight years and that will be strong and that we will vigorously protect american strategic interests. where russia's actions align with interest, we can work on it but where the act will

contradict will put the text america first five so you feel that it's more important that we deal with this in a geopolitical realm as opposed to the potential interference? >> yeah, look, the trolling and cyber attacks and all that other business of the agency's have determined that russia was attempting to do is produce one thing, they hacked the dnc. nobles were changed, everyone has said that nobles were changed, i think we have strong cyber capabilities ourselves and that's probably a good thing that were not talking about them too much fight let's keep it that for now. i'm also reminded that president obama told president clinton famously quoted knock it off. kind of a glib, way to put that and that didn't stop the russians or hasn't, apparently. >> yeah, if i was and i looked at the last eight years, starting with the ridiculous icbm treaty that obama negotiated his first official act of taking out the missions show that president bush put in poland and czech republic and that absurd julian out covenants

about this possibility i would say that these guys have lost their way. that's why it's important for the president to say we will backup our words with actions that protect america fiber hearing that already from national security advisor mcmaster. let me play you a sound clip in which he said the other day in washington. talking about the very same thing. having russia a very strong message in the geopolitical realm. here's what he said. >> we have to become more effective at competing against adversaries, at confronting them, not just on physical battlegrounds but are battlegrounds of perception and information. to elicit financial and other illicit flows, the use of organized crime networks provide that the trumpet ministration policy that we frankly, don't hear very much about. >> no, because now with this media. thank god, for you. a lot of the media is too busy

out with this distracted nonsense that i sincerely hope the voters will punish the democrats for we have a lot of problems to solve this country and getting it back on a strong security footing around the world is one of them. eric: finally, what would you like to present a state of? specifically, i mean. what you think it will stay back to work. >> i have something that i've brought up that i'm hoping he makes clear that while we can unite with them in finding isis that we are you not supportive of syria and that we are not going to be supportive of anything, action that russia may take that undermines our strategic interests as we define them around the world. that's one thing. the other thing, i personally think, there's a great opportunity to draw prussia into the north korean problem. they see the shared geography with china, they're operating a ferry over the north korea right now and they had the same economic characteristics with

brea in china and the geography is quite challenging for us. eric: despite the allegations that we hear on the front pages, you are saying that we connection work with than in some areas that haven't been really tested that much before. eric: that the essence of good foreign-policy. that you can work with people when your interests are aligned and you don't work with people or to oppose them when they are not aligned. that doesn't mean it has to be some big emotional fitful process. foreign-policy needs to be equally calculated on the assessment of what's good for america. eric: what you think we should watch out from the odyssey, crimea, ukraine, he tries to rollback nato into everything we possibly can in his view of a new russia and its interests. >> will probably make the old argument that the prior team is seem to buy that we strengthen nato, strengthens him. i don't think we need to fall for that again. we fell for it for eight years

and it was disastrous for america. we need to be beefing nato up, he needs to know that will depend article five, that will continue to work together to get the europeans to pay their share, $100 billion spent on nato and that we are going to protect america. i wonder if it would have taken crimea if ronald reagan was president? five good person. finally, congressman, do you think will get a grip and grin or of something sensitive or the real stuff happens behind the scenes. >> i personally the real stuff needs to happen behind the scenes. that's the essence of personal diplomacy. president trump has a reagan, gorbachev, iselin woman here to let president know that he means business. eric: member of the foreign affairs, thank you. congressman for joining us. >> thank you for having me on five happy july 4th. jillian. jillian: thanks, eric. a single engine plane has gone down under a highway bridge in

hawaii. the police are saying about the crash. eric: what's next for the robbery and health care bill while, they fail to reach the agreements before the recess and now they are trying again. >> we made good progress and will keep working. as we do, our focus will remain on the major obamacare problems that continue to hurt americans all across our country. for some, it's a distance. for some, it's a time. for some, it's a point.

decision to temporarily reinstate parts of present travel for the state of why is meeting its challenge in federal court. [cheering] five that senator is bill cassidy and is interrupted, as you saw, at the town hall meeting and he said he wasn't there to discuss healthcare but he does have to think all americans should have access to it. jillian: the senate is failing to achieve its goal of reaching a healthcare agreement for the fourth of july recess. president trump is now calling on lawmakers to repeal obamacare as a first step and then come up with a place later. senate majority leader, mitch mcconnell, says the public and senators are keep plugging away and replete. at the same time. this coming is a fax newport

says it may voters oppose the senate health care bill even more than the original houseplant. twenty me now is daniel, consulting editor for the washington begin. nice to see a big talk me through this a little bit. the short-term idea for senator mcconnell is to get the senate vote on this right after the july 4th recess and into conference committee and then, watch the magic of a bill becoming a law. what are the odds of getting it before the recess in august? >> will know better in a week or two but the prospects have dimmed a little bit as republicans have gone home and they realized this bill is not very popular, as you just wrote. they are facing constituents in town halls for instance and they're seeing it that people are angry and that they may be losing coverage. the publicans are in it downtown. there's two options. whether to repeal and replace obamacare as they promised in

which they are facing some people that are upset about it or they could do nothing and hope that obamacare would implode, not hope but know that obamacare would implode as it already is in doing and dealing with it later where there might be more bipartisan consensus. neither situation is particularly great or popular at this exact moment. jillian: as we learned from president obama's campaign, hope is definitely not a strategy that is going to work healthcare. it seems like the gop caucus is rallied around repeal but when we take this one step further there's a lot of debate about whether and how to replace obamacare. it seems like this is really going to be a sticking point for the caucus. do you think were doomed to gridlock 40 think there is a viable path forward for majority leader, mitch mcconnell? >> if it's a path, it's narrow.

again, will see in the next week or two. i think what they should have done is when the republican congress came in in january and they should have passed repeal and sunset it so it would go into effect a year, two years from then and there is a momentum, as we heard from president trump this past week, and a couple republican senators who made that approach now that it's a little late because now you're trying to opening yourself up for tax from democrats. democrats can say they're taking away your healthcare are not replacing it with anything. the problem with doing that approach now is it creates, nation and opens you up for criticism from the left. again, these are not good situations and i think republicans need to go to the drawing board and figure out how they can improve quality of care and that's what people want. they want quality of care. that's what obama took away and try to reduce prices and make it cheaper for american people so

people can actually afford good, quality healthcare. jillian: look, to be fair, you are right. obamacare has created steep price hikes for individuals, estates, but at the same time, it did establish this kind of new normal for now millions of americans, we can debate how many americans, millions of americans who didn't have health and carrots for now have it. the republicans part of the reason there in this sticky situation is as no one wants to be the bad guy take that away. how do you think the gop caucus should be best messaging on that point? >> every time you mandate something, if you mandate car insurance people are going to follow the law and have car insurance. they may not like it, they may not wanted and it may not be helpful and might not cover any racks they might have but they'll do it because of the law. that's the situation we have now. the healthcare was mandated and we have this individual mandate and it happens to be pretty unpopular except there will be drastic reductions to the people

covered if they no longer have to to buy health insurance. obviously, that's the sticking point is the argument is now the number of people covered in which case the democrats are going to win if the argument remains on those terms because a mandate by definition you'll have more people covered. i think publicans need to change the terms of the debate so it's about quality of coverage and affordability of coverage and not the number of people covered but again, if i you lower the cost then more people will get quality coverage by virtue of just having a lower cost. that's what they should be focused on in the long run. jillian: so, just to build on that. if we look a little further out from the immediate term whether the healthcare bill ever gets past into law or not, this is definitely going to be a long process, a contentious process and it shows up the division inside the gop as they stand today.

how do you think this is going to affect president trump domestic agenda over the next three years, three and a half years will to steamroll his invention for tax reform, reducing the federal budget, the deficit, excuse me, and balancing the budget does he have as good a shot as accomplishing those objectives now as he did when he was elected? >> not as good of a shot. i think for another reason. this has taken up a lot of time. the first 100-200 days are the most productive days of the presidency and we talked about this healthcare bill for a very long time without seeing much progress. the fact that the republican congress hasn't been able to focus on other things like tax reform that might be more popular, i think, has diminished the prospects of having other legislative commitments. >> daniel, that's a lot for us to chew over on a saturday. thanks so much for me. >> thanks, jillian.

he died last month at the age of 87. >> give me liberty or give me death. famous words we all know the well but do you know much about the favorite founding father who said that. a new bucket, with the details of a life of patrick henry. the author of that book is here. jillian: more than two dozen people heard in a shooting in a nightclub in arkansas. what police are saying about the violence dispute this started it all. >> this activity downtown is going to cease. it also should be a recognition to the other light nightclub and places that we have that will be extra vigilant as a issues as if guns. it's no wonder everything seems a little better with the creamy taste of philly, made with no artificial preservatives, flavours or dyes. made with no artificial preservatives, she pretty much lives in her favorite princess dress.

with some big news about type 2 diabetes. you have type 2 diabetes, right? yes. so let me ask you this... how does diabetes affect your heart? it doesn't, does it? actually, it does. type 2 diabetes can make you twice as likely to die from a cardiovascular event, like a heart attack or stroke. and with heart disease, your risk is even higher. you didn't know that. no. yeah. but, wait, there's good news for adults who have type 2 diabetes and heart disease. jardiance is the only type 2 diabetes pill with a lifesaving cardiovascular benefit. jardiance is proven to both significantly reduce the chance of dying from a cardiovascular event in adults who have type 2 diabetes and heart disease and lower your a1c. jardiance can cause serious side effects including dehydration. this may cause you to feel dizzy, faint, or lightheaded, or weak upon standing. ketoacidosis is a serious side effect that may be fatal.

symptoms include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, tiredness, and trouble breathing. stop taking jardiance and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of ketoacidosis or an allergic reaction. symptoms of an allergic reaction include rash, swelling, and difficulty breathing or swallowing. do not take jardiance if you are on dialysis or have severe kidney problems. other side effects are sudden kidney problems, genital yeast infections, increased bad cholesterol, and urinary tract infections, which may be serious. taking jardiance with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. so now that you know all that, what do you think? that it's time to think about jardiance. ask your doctor about jardiance. and get to the heart of what matters.

jillian: new jersey's government shutdown last night after a disagreement about the state's budget. the shutdown came after governor chris christie pushed for new

regulations on the states largest insurance company. the state assembly speaker refused to pass the budget with those new rules inside. the shutdown leaves new jersey state parks and beaches closed during this holiday weekend. most government buildings were also stay closed until lawmakers reach a budget deal. eric: you know the name from history class and you might think he rallied the other members of the continental congress in philadelphia. with that famous cry of, give me liberty or give me death. are you sure about that? what do we really know about founding father, patrick henry. drain is now his historian, john is the author of a new book about patrick henry titled patrick henry: champion of liberty which hits bookstores in your e-reader up properly this july 4th. john, especially. welcome. thank you for joining us. we really don't know that much about this founding father. why is that and why do you say

that patrick henry is so significant to american history? >> part of the reason we don't know as much about him is that he never held a national office. so, he doesn't get the kind of acclaim that we typically give to everybody that did hold national office under the current covenant from george washington and the presidency to the present. another reason perhaps is henry's fame as an orator tends to overshadow the other aspects of his career. large measure because his skill is the same oven order was well deserved but in large measure because his first biographer actually 200 years ago, as it happens, was almost obsessed with oratory over other things. the reason that i got into writing about henry and eventually writing this full new biography of henry was basically to try to understand more

clearly the coming of the american revolution and the transit of the american revolution. certainly from virginia's part in that story, you can understand it without focusing on a considerable extent on henry. eric: sorry to interrupt but the virginia guys, jefferson and madison, they went to philadelphia and they had their ideas and they really were instrumental and influential during that period, according to your book i guess, i think so. i would argue that in some ways the coming of the revolution was a partnership, a fruitful partnership, between the leaders of virginia and the leaders that are familiar to us for massachusetts. the two states came the leaders came to respect one another and work well together and it made a great deal of difference and

effectiveness. eric: what did he achieve. >> henry probably, i suppose, achieved independence. and arguably was the midwife for our bill of rights. he was a strong voice for the rights of religious dissenters and i think he leaves us a kind of inspiring legacy, if you will, of patriotism five was amazing about your book and what you say he opposed the constitution. i never heard about this before. this led to james madison and the bill of rights. tell me about his warnings back then about -- he opposed it because he was fearful of the power of a centralized government. >> that's right. the triple that if you gave too much power to the centralized

government it would lead to subjugation of the states and diminishing liberty. particularly, he was strong, frankly, on his opposition to giving the federal government the power of taxation. the power of taxation carries a great deal of auxiliary authority with it. so, he was fearful that mchenry in many ways is a typical 18th century civic republican in his outlook. he was fearful of the ways of which interested groups which could include regionally interest in the states would seek their self interest rather than the public's good private man, zero man. what he think of today lobbying groups, taxation, if he saw k street what do you think patrick henry would think. >> one of the things that we

know for henry and for washington is that they were both very troubled by the notion which happened in their lives in the last decade of the life. they were troubled by the development of political parties. they really preferred a world in which gentlemen came to agreement and buses on the public good rather than looking to partisan advantage into the development of political parties. i think that's one thing that troubled them in the 1790s and would certainly trouble both of them today. eric: that continues today and he'd probably be shocked. of course, this drastic, great country of ours was founded by men like patrick henry on the shoulders we are devotedly faithful. thankful for your buck because we don't know much about him other than give it me liberty, or give me death. patrick henry: champion of liberty.

jillian: arkansas say multiple people fired weapons early this morning after a dispute at a rapid concert in little rock. >> we do not believe this was an act of terror nor do we believe is an active shooter situation. jillian: molly joins us live right here in our new york city newsroom the latest. good afternoon, molly. were there any casualties? >> the incredible headlines here is the 25 people suffered gunshot wounds and several more were injured in the chaos surrounding but police say all of them are expected to survive. two are in critical condition in the hunt for suspects is active.

jillian: a video posted to facebook the horrific scene unfolding inside the power ultra lounge, nightclub in downtown rock, arkansas. investors believe that multiple people opened fire inside that venue early saturday morning. the burst of gunfire coming during a short pause in the entertainment. during an afternoon press conference it was revealed that some members of the headlining group, a rap or hip-hop group out of memphis, had tried to enter the building earlier this evening and one was carrying a weapon. officers stationed at the venue attempted to stop him but according to little rock to the police, bunker it was believed that he later found an alternate entrance. the chief did not say if the weapon or that person had was involved in the silence. investigators believe the multiple shooting them as a result of a dispute between clubgoers, possibly gang-related, and had nothing to do with terrorism. >> this does appear in lou to be a continuation of disputes from some of our local groups within

what you've been playing out in our streets as a result in drive-by shootings and other shooting victims. we have warrants up for some of them. jillian: crime scene technicians have been -- thus far, no word of any rest. jillian: what more is the city of little rock doing to stop something like this happening again for spark. >> as far as the actual location is concerned, action has been swept and the mayor of little rock says the nightclub will be shut down. jillian: thanks, molly. eric: coming up the next hour of america's news headquarters will take you to washington and tell you about the presence of speech.le later on tonight and the largest protest against iranian regime happening in paris. we'll have that one a day 50+. you totanobody's hurt, new car. but there will still be pain.

hello again. i'm eric shawn. this is a brand new hour of america's news headquarters. >> i'm jillian turner in this evening for arthel neville. topping the news this hour, president trump is on the move. he heads back to our nation's capitol later this hour from his new jersey golf club. there he will pay tribute to our brave men and women on the 4th of july holiday weekend. we will bring you that live. >> there's also legal fallout over the president's travel ban how hawaii is challenging that order. and there is severe weather making its way through parts of the american heartland. whether you you should expect sunshine or rain on this year's independence day.

>> let's begin tonight with president trump and he's preparing to mark the july 4th holiday weekend with a special and meaningful tribute to those who have served. the president is scheduled to speak later tonight at what's being called the celebrate freedom rally. it's being held back in washington, d.c. he will honor our military members there. meanwhile, the president also been weighing in again on the efforts to try and repeal and replace obama care. he's offering a new suggestion, as lawmakers are deciding whether or not they will cancel their traditional august recess and actually work through august. former arkansas governor republican mike huckabee offered his take on the healthcare debate earlier today. >> you can't make this better. it won't get better. it is only going to get worse. i think it is time to start over. the best way to start over, pass this whole issue to the 50 states with medicaid block

grants and the freedom to let people pick their own healthcare and not try to create a federal program where one size fits all. that's their mistake. >> peter doocy has been following the president today who is joining us live from new jersey right near the president's golf estate. first of all, republican leaders in congress, what are they trying to do to try and get this whole thing back on track? >> good question, eric. because all that we can see today are further disagreements about the way forward. the senate majority leader mcconnell who returned to kentucky and let all of his members return back to their home state, without leaving behind a passable replacement for the affordable care act, and who used to say that all he needed to repeal obama care was a republican president is now telling reporters this, quote, it is not easy making america great again. is it? mcconnell is also now saying that he does not plan to honor the president's request to break the stalemate by breaking up repeal and replace in to two different bills.

first a clean repeal and then a complicated replacement, when everyone is ready. mcconnell says they are not going to change their current trajectory. so the president is doing the things that he doesn't need senate cooperation for, like, conducting foreign policy and sending a warning to north korea who he says has benefitted from patient american diplomats for too long. but that the clock has run out and they have been given enough time to start treating their people better. >> the year of strategic patience with the north korean regime has failed. many years and it's failed. and frankly, that patience is over. >> so that statement could signal a change in american policy the next time that north korea acts up. eric? eric: meanwhile the president will be leaving the site where you are to briefly return to washington for this meaningful event tonight.

what do we know about what he's going to say and what that is? >> eric, we know that any minute president trump is expected to head for the airport where he's going to fly south to attend this event called the celebrate freedom rally at the kennedy center. it is hosted by the pastor robert and his evangelical first baptist church of dallas. organizers are telling us that veterans, wounded warriors and some patients from walter reed are expected to attend this event tonight, where the president is expected to honor them. we're told the first lady is going to stay here in new jersey. and she will be joined by the president later on tonight because this is just a quick trip to the capitol to give a speech saluting veterans and then heading on back to wrap up his holiday weekend here in the garden state. eric? eric: that's a huge church right there in downtown dallas. it should be a very meaningful event tonight. peter, thank you very much. jillian? >> so the trump administration is now facing a massive backlash

over the president's panel to investigate alleged voter fraud. the panel is asking all 50 u.s. states to hand over information about voters, such as names, addresses, criminal records, even parts of social security numbers. now a growing number of those states are pushing back by refusing to comply with the president's orders. garrett tenney joins us us live now from our nation's capitol. good evening, garrett, this pushback is coming from both democrats and republicans. >> it's been a little more than 24 hours since this request for voter information went out, and you can see already ten states have said they won't be providing anything to ft's commission. -- to the president's commission. at least another 26 have said they will only be providing some of what was requested. another democratic lawmakers are also blasting the commission and its investigation into allegations of voter fraud in their replies. kentucky secretary of state said the president created his election commission based on the false notion that voter fraud is a widespread issue.

it is not. california secretary of state explained his state's refusal stating california's participation would only serve to legitimize the false and already debunked claims of massive voter fraud made by the president, the vice president. possibly the most colorful reply though came from mississippi's republican secretary of state who said once he receives the request, quote, my reply would be they can go jump in the gulf of mexico and mississippi is a great state to launch from. mississippi residents should celebrate independence day and our state's right to protect the privacy of our citizens by conducting our own electoral processes. at this point, there are 14 other states who are still deciding if and how much information they will be providing as well. jillian? >> so what information is this commission asking for and what do they plan to do with it? >> well, the request that went out yesterday, it was asking for publicly available information on voters, details such as their full names, birth dates,

addresses, their political party affiliation, as well as the last four digits of their social security number. what's publicly available varies by state though. what the commission hopes to do, though, is match those details with federal records of foreign residents and undocumented immigrants to try and identify those who may have voted illegally. here's the commission's vice chair on tucker carlson's show last night. >> one thing that's never been done that's very important is the federal government knows the names of more than 15 million aliens who are living in the united states. in fact it's closer to more than 20 million. the individuals are here on green cards or on temporary visas but the states have never been permitted to see how many of those aliens have registered to vote in my state. the number is likely to be very high. >> other members of the commission have said if fewer than half of the states agree to provide voter information, the group will have to re-evaluate their strategy going forward.

>> thanks for that reporting. eric: those allegations of voter fraud, russia, healthcare, all that will be on pause in just a bit later tonight when the president will honor members of our military. you can watch that speech just under two hours from now, live here in the fox news channel at 8:00 p.m. eastern. you know you are going to want to see that later on this evening, a very special tribute. meanwhile, president trump's travel ban going into effect this week. this time with a relatively smooth rollout. but at least one state is raising questions about just who is impacted by the new restrictions. will carr is live with us here from los angeles international airport to explain everything you need to know. will, good evening. how do the protests you are seeing this week compare to the ones we saw earlier in the year with the first part of the ban? >> well, jillian, they are virtually nonexistent. there have been a small number of protesters at airports across the country, but really nothing like the massive groups we saw earlier this year after the initial travel ban came out that

of course sparked protests at airports all across the country. now, from the beginning, the trump administration has maintained this is all about keeping americans safe and that it needs time to figure out exactly who is trying to come into the united states especially after the recent rash of attacks that we have seen play out in europe. take a listen to attorney general jeff sessions >> so i think it was a great victory for the president. we're going to focus on these six countries alone who have really failed states with terrorist bases in them. we need to be very careful before we admit people from those countries and the president is exactly correct. >> the administration is equally optimistic about the supreme court's ultimate decision on the travel ban, which is set to come out later this fall. jillian? >> so the attorney general is as you mentioned fairly optimistic, but there is this raging legal battle that continues over this travel ban. what do you think the next steps

are with the legal component? >> yeah, that's right. we're expecting a federal judge to weigh in this up coming week on hawaii's emergency motion. keep in mind, though, that this version of the travel ban is scaled down. the supreme court allowed the revised ban to go into effect on thursday, while it waits to hear arguments from both sides later this year. now, in the meantime, six countries are impacted, iran, libya, sudan, syria and yemen but there are exceptions for travelers who have quote bona fide ties to people in the united states. that includes immediate family members, but does not include grandchildren or grandparents. >> what does the u.s. government have against grandmothers? why is it that those people are not allowed to come into the country? you know, what national security initiative are we thinking about? >> critics of the ban say that this is a ban against muslims instead of an effort to protect

americans. jillian? >> thanks for that, will. eric: a call for freedom for iran. a huge protest was again held today in france with a blunt message to tehran. the iranian resistance rally was called free iran and that was the theme of this annual gathering. numerous former u.s. officials from both sides of the aisle attended, and they addressed the supporters, and all are on the same page when it comes to confronting the revolutionary regime. despite previous u.s. overtures iran now remains on the top of the state department list of states sponsors of terrorism. the rally sponsor warns about iran's intention. the resistance group is headed by a woman. we conducted an exclusive fox news interview with her about her group's goals. as the largest iranian

opposition group, holds its annual gathering outside paris, there is new confidence that pressure on the iran regime could finally lead to change. reports say the trump administration is potentially considering a strategy to try and topple the regime, a move the resistance group's leader welcomes. >> translator: the overthrow of this regime is the responsibility of the iranian people and resistance. nevertheless we want the international community to stand with the iranian people. >> she tells fox news that a group's activists have stepped up their opposition to the government and says a revolution against the regime could come from within. >> translator: the iranian resistance movement is in a new position and on the offensive in its showdown with the regime. our resistance is an organized movement. the potential for an uprising

exists within iranian society. the iranian people are discontented. >> she and others fear iran's influence in the middle east could only grow. tehran has said to be trying to create a so called iranian shiite grabbing territory from its border to yemen, i iraq, syria and lebanon to obtain a foothold in the mediterranean. observers say. she says they need to push back. >> from the outside we have rejected this reactionary policy and seek amicable relations with the rest of our neighbors. it must be designated as a foreign terrorist group and evicted from the region. more sanctions need to be posed on the regime. >> she is confident the forces of democracy and freedom will eventually prevail. >> translator: i am optimistic for the people of iran because the iranian people reject the

religious dictatorship. the iranian people long for freedom and democracy, equality, and advanced society. moreover, the iranian people demand an overthrow of this regime. >> besides calling for those tougher sanctions against tehran, she also wants the iranian officials prosecuted for war crimes. tehran, though, considers the group a terrorist organization and, a charge that they reject. she also alluded to our declaration of independence saying the iranian people want the same freedom that our founding fathers brought to us so many years ago. she says she is confident it will happen in her country too. and more than two dozen people were hurt in a shooting in a nightclub. what prompted the violence? who is behind the attack? >> and president trump meeting with the president of south korea at the white house this past week. the issues they discussed while he was here. >> the fact is that the united

states has trade deficits with many many countries, and we cannot allow that to continue. david. what's going on? oh hey! ♪ that's it? yeah. ♪ everybody two seconds! ♪ "dear sebastian, after careful consideration of your application, it is with great pleasure that we offer our congratulations on your acceptance..." through the tuition assistance program, every day mcdonald's helps more people go to college.

the remaining isis forces in western mosul. that one day after the country's prime minister declared an end to the isis caliphate in his country. but the united nations is warning tonight that many civilians are still being used as human shields by those isis radical islamic terrorists. at least 28 people were wounded in arkansas after a shooting at a nightclub. ploois -- police say a dispute between a rap concert and concertgoers led to the shooting in little rock arkansas in early morning hours. so far no arrests have been made. hong kong's harbor lit up with a massive firework display. the celebration marking the 20th anniversary of the transfer of power from britain to china. earlier chinese president wrapped up his visit to hong kong by warning against challenges to beijing's authority. >> -- strategic patience with the north korean regime has

failed. many years and it's failed. and frankly, that patience is over. gillian: president trump is speaking out about the north as the white house puts increasing pressure on china for not doing enough to help rein in the rogue country. the president meeting this week with south korea's new leader to discuss issues of trade and how both countries should handle pyongyang. to discuss this in more detail i'm joined by now ambassador james jeffrey, former u.s. ambassador to iraq and turkey and deputy national security advisor to president george w. bush. also a distinguished fellow at the washington institute. good afternoon, ambassador jeffrey, it is great to see you. >> good to be back, gillian. gillian: so it sounds like the president -- i want to focus on the president's relationship with china for a moment because during the campaign, he was very critical. it seemed to me that during the

transition in the first couple of months of his administration his tone softened and he seemed to sort of extend an olive branch and now in the last few weeks, again we're seeing harsh rhetoric. do you think this is par for the course when it comes to two of the world's great superpowers, or is this erratic? >> i think this is a reflection of the problem with north korea. gillian we have other strategic problems, russia, iran, islam terror, china, but the biggest and most dangerous one right now is north korea. the president did the right thing going to the president of south korea and asking for his help. what's different is first the trump administration and secondly they will soon develop intercontinental ballistic missiles that can strike the united states and president

trump says that won't happen. >> as you mentioned all roads for the united states to north korea seem to go via china. this is a well worn path several administrations have tried seemingly to little avail. you say that president trump is right for trying but at what point does he say you know what? enough with this, the united states is going to go at it alone or we're going to go it with other allies in the region. >> he's right to have decided a lot earlier than other presidents that it won't work with china. and the reason is china needs and wants north korea because china's basic interest is to drive the united states out of the western pacific. and we have to understand that. so therefore, north korea is a major complication of our presence there. it makes our alliance policies with south korea and japan more difficult. it ties down our forces, 28,000 troops are in korea. and it makes us have to go to china, which never yields anything.

china's happy with this. what president trump has to do is to make it clear to china that this could lead to a war that nobody wants >> in your view, ambassador, does north korea's imminent intercontinental ballistic missile capability pose sort of an existential threat to the united states, is it a dire threat, how would you sort of categorize that? >> it is not an existential threat because there aren't enough of them but it is a dire threat because it could kill very large numbers of americans before we could respond. that's the problem, and we're dealing with an unpredictable evil regime as we just saw and how it treated a university of virginia student. we cannot allow them to hold our homeland at risk and i don't think president trump or any president will do so. that's the crisis we're facing right now. gillian: now, president trump holds fairly nontraditional foreign policy views coming to the white house from the private

sector without government background. how do you think he should be thinking about this outside of the box? are there any options that you think people at the white house inside the national security council short of should be thinking about? should have on the table but probably don't? >> the inside the box thinking through three administrations has been go to china because we cannot escalate militarily. that has yielded nothing and basically we're in a stalemate. now, the stalemate has been broken by the north korean effort to strike the united states. president trump willy nilly whether he likes it or not whether it is him or another president is going to have to stop this. if china won't help, we're going to have to move towards a military escalation. that's very dangerous. the hope is that then china will wake up and realize better to resolve this thing and to tame, if you will, north korea than to face the totally incalculable

risks of a conflict on the peninsula again. >> sounds right. thank you so much ambassador jeffrey for joining us and sharing your strategic perspective with us. we really appreciate it. >> thank you, gillian. eric: gillian right now you know there are some powerful storms that are threatening some parts of the country. where the rain will hit and how it could affect your holiday weekend. gillian: plus president trump's voter fraud commission is getting pushback after asking states for their election data. why those states are refusing to provide that information. >> one person's vote should count the same as the next and any attempt to undermine that really undermines anyone else's vote right now. that's the problem. we need to make sure that when somebody votes, it would be the highest degree of integrity of that counting. i have the jefferson nose right there on the front of my face. when i think about being related to thomas jefferson, it certainly makes me feel a sense of pride the tenacity of not only that he showed in his life

president trump is getting ready to deliver a speech tonight in washington, d.c. at the celebrate freedom rally. it's organized by a baptist megachurch based out of dallas. the event will be held at the kennedy center and aims to honor our nation's military veterans on this holiday weekend. and this -- >> i think this is matter of fundamental national security which is why the framers of the 25th amendment put it in. we have got to make sure that we have a president who is able faithfully to discharge the duties of office. eric: it is a move as you can see the monitor the president's mental health. a democratic congressman from maryland pushing the bill to try and test he says the president's mental fitness. more than 20 other members of congress have signed on to that. gillian: protests are springing up at airports across the country after the supreme court reinstated part of president's travel ban. hawaii is already challenging the new version in federal court.

>> meanwhile president trump's commission investigating the allegations of voter fraud while it's asking states to give the federal government some sensitive voter information. and that's sparking a major backlash for many of those states. so far more than 20 are refusing to fully cooperate with the request. the feds want voters' names, addresses, criminal records, even parts of social security numbers and in some cases how they voted. so what does this mean for the panel's work? a political reporter from the daily beast is joining us now. betsy, first of all, i have reported here at fox news for years, on voter fraud cases, and we've got some doozies. we will get to that in a minute but this effort by the trump administration is extremely controversial to say the least. >> right. exactly. one of the big concerns is from cybersecurity experts and some of the secretaries of state who worry that putting all that sensitive information in one place would make it a top target for hackers trying to get information about american social security numbers, etc.

others say those concerns are overblown but it is presence in the mind of secretaries of state who are worried about cooperating with the white house on this particular issue. >> others say it is a states right issue. we have a system in this country where the localities and the states run the elections, not, you know, the federal government, and some state officials have told me they are worried this is an encroachment by the feeds into, you know -- by the feds into what they do. >> that said the request is coming from a presidential commission. doesn't have the ability to issue subpoenas. members of the commission -- it is extremely unlikely they would sunni of these state -- they would sue any of these states to try to get these records. to my knowledge they haven't asserted that the federal government has a right to this information. it is more them saying will you cooperate and help us do this research. they are not trying to force or necessarily coerce the states into cooperating. that said of course president trump seems willing to sort of use his bully pulpit to try to push these states to get on

board. he tweeted recently that he thought some of the states who weren't cooperating might have something to hide. the president is clearly going to do what he can to use his platform to try to encourage state's cooperation. >> he tweeted out right after the election that the millions of illegal votes, there's no evidence of that, and you know what critics say, this say this is an attempt at voter suppression. voter fraud although it does exist is not widespread or systemic. yet the chairman of this commission, the former secretary of state of kansas, was very involved with these issues. he says it is a vital issue to investigate. >> right, he is a very controversial figure. he has a lot of support among conservatives. a lot of support on the right. also quite influential in the thinking of many of trump insiders when it comes to the immigration question, particularly on voting as well. he's been very vocal about the voter fraud issue. for the most part, though, the preponderance of evidence shows that there's not evidence any recent american election had its

outcome changed because of voter fraud. for the most part -- yeah? >> sorry, go ahead. i'm jumping ahead on the questions. go ahead. >> for the most part, the larger concern that folks especially in the civil liberties and civil rights community have is that this commission could lead to efforts to push for some sort of legislation that it would make it harder for people to legally vote. the term they use that the voter rolls could be purged but we haven't got ton that point yet. this commission is just doing research right now. it will be working on it for a year. i think people saying this is a sign of some sort of impending voter suppression should probably wait see what the commission finds and see what they recommend. >> the center for justice at nyu certainly troubled by this. does voter fraud happen? yes. how widespread is it? let me show you mr. parker voted three times. in 2012. he was convicted in voting in tennessee in person. he voted by absentee ballot in florida and also in north carolina.

another guy did it 13 times, drove from wisconsin in indiana to vote in person. that was another case. a number of years ago in troy new york where the politicians were accused of taking absentee ballots and filling them out themselves to steal elections. that's how they could do it, folks, apparently. here's what some voters told me. >> you didn't write that. >> i did not. >> you didn't cast a ballot. >> i did not. >> did you vote? >> no. >> but they have your vote at the board of elections? >> they do. >> she and other voters told us their ballots were faked and someone else voted in their names. >> did you fill out an absentee ballot application? >> no. >> so your vote was a fraud? >> it was. >> so it does happen. but bottom line, how widespread is it? >> not very. there's just no evidence that it's changed the outcome of any election. obviously the ballot box is incredibly important. voter fraud is a crime. it should be prosecuted. if anything, these conversations and this excellent reporting that you have done could be used as evidence that the system

actually works, that people are looking to track down and enforce the voting laws. another concern of course is this issue of people who are registered to vote in multiple states, and that's something that actually is decently widespread, but the fact that people are registered to vote in two states doesn't mean they are doing -- that they are actually voting in both of those states on every election day. in fact many of the president senior advisors including steve bannon, treasury secretary steve mnuchin have been registered to vote in two states at the same time, perhaps because they lived california and moved to new york and forgot to unregister in the state they used to live in. that itself is fairly widespread. how do you eliminate those redundant voter registrations without accidentally taking people off the voter rolls when they had the legal right to be there? this is a value question. the question is are we more concerned about people voting illegally, people voting who shouldn't be able to or conversely are we more concerned that people who do have the legal right to vote will lose that right? that's a balancing act that's up to lawmakers and voters to

figure out how to handle these issues. eric: the right to vote in our country, that's one thing we're celebrating this weekend over 4th of july. by the way there's an effort to weed out the triple registered people or double registered people, it is called the interstate cross-check and it was started in kansas, where they have a bunch of states checked but guess what? not every state in the nation is part of that. betsy, good to see you. we will see how this goes when the panel has its first meeting in a few weeks. >> likewise, thanks. >> take care. gillian: severe weather is sweeping across parts of the country. unfortunately, this holiday weekend. forecasters are predicting thunderstorms in parts of the midwest that could bring hail as big as tennis balls. meteorologist joining us now live from the fox news weather center. good evening. what can you tell us to expect about this weekend? >> hey, there, good evening. yeah, it's summertime. we have got that heat and with it we get some of those summertime thunderstorms happening right now across the country. this is what it looks like.

these are our really our odds of seeing severe weather from now throughout this evening's hours stretching from back into portions of texas but piling up there in the american southeast. then in northeast as well. some of the heaviest storms so far have been in the northeast and we are looking at an area from vermont stretching in that area where we have seen some tornadic activity in the last couple of hours. here's where the line of thunderstorm activity right now, everything you are looking at in the yellow, that's a severe thunderstorm. but we have seen red polly gones pop up -- polygons pop up as well. we see some thunderstorms moving towards new york city, towards philadelphia here in the next couple of hours. again, this is a large frontal boundary. so we're seeing these storms continue to stretch down through the southeast. getting down towards the atlanta area and then back off towards arkansas, eventually over towards louisiana and texas. so it's a big line of storms we're paying attention to as we move through the evening hours. here's how it kind of plays out

for us. there's your timer in the corner. if you are seeing rain in the northeast, if you are in the northeast, this cold front is going to slip on through the area, and we're going to be drying off for tomorrow. i'm afraid that that cold front lingers for the next couple of days a little farther to the south. but here's your highs for today. what you will notice as you continue on to sunday and monday and tuesday, yes, eventually we're going to see some really large areas of warm air pile up in the middle of the country. we have got some hot days around the corner as we begin to get ready for the fireworks displays in the next couple of days. guys? gillian: thanks for that. eric: we want to have a dry 4th so we can enjoy the fireworks. new reports come out that some say shows the uglier side of the beauty industry. research shows that the fda may not regulate the industry as much as you might think. how this can affect your make up and hair products to make sure they are safe. we will talk about that coming up. gillian: plus the 4th of july weekend. the blue angels are back in action. thousands came to see this u.s.

navy's elite team soar across the beautiful blue skies. highlights coming up next. >> it is hard work. i like to tell everyone we are the professional athletes of what we do. we owe it to our country, to our -- to the fans to be able to do the most precise and best show that we can give them. ♪

>> thank you very much. >> so the cosmetics industry is a 400 billion dollars industry. is it really true that the u.s. government is leaving it to its own devices, allowing it to police itself? >> well, it falls under the purview of the food and drug administration, the fda. but essentially it is lightly regulated. so for example, if you have a skin product you put on, and it causes a blister, and if you call the manufacturer and report this, they are not obligated to let the fda know. and even if they let the fda know, the fda is not able to pull that product from the market. so yes, i would say that they are lightly regulated. gillian: you know, for many american consumers, these classes of products are very personal. you know, we put them on our hair. we put them on our skin. we put them on our children's skin. so it's sort of horrific to think that not only are we maybe getting ripped off the products are ineffective but they may

actually cause harm. do you have any sort of tips, advice for consumers as we go to the supermarket over the holiday weekend and buy these types of products, sun tan lotion, hair products, what should we look for? what should we avoid? anything like that? >> first of all, there are a lot of safe products out there in the market. the important thing i always tell my patients and consumers, do your research. go on-line and look at consumer reports to see if there are concerns about a product. you can even call the manufacturer and ask if there have been concerns about a product. and when you read a label, i do want to caution people, there is no legal definition of what organic, natural or pure is. so for example, if there is a product that is 99.9% synthetic, if there's .1% water, a company can call that a natural product because water is natural. we want to be cautious and even read the ingredients. is there lead, mercury, formaldehyde? i want to say the manufacturers

are not required to list all their ingredients. they are not allowed to mislabel but they don't have to list it because they can say it is a trade secret. >> you mentioned formaldehyde, really? isn't that what is used in taxidermy and those types of practices? >> absolutely. that's the concern is we're putting this on our skin. we're using them on our babies. we want to use them to make us clean and beautiful but that's what's concerning. as a consumer we don't want to be alarmists in this situation. we want to be aware. gillian: that sounds like the right tone to take. thank you dr. radcliffe for giving us your unsight on this holiday weekend. -- your insight on this holiday weekend. we appreciate it very much. thank you very much. some of the best pilots in the world give fox news a first land look at what they do best -- first-hand look at what they do best. >> ready. hit it.

eric: the blue angels flying high over new york this weekend to celebrate the 4th of july. and our rob schmid was invited along for a ride to see what the navy's best pilots can really do. >> all right. squeeze those legs. ready? hit it. how's that? relax. take a look behind you. >> oh, man! >> i could not wait to ride along with the navy blue angels ahead of this weekend's new york air show. the blue angels are the second oldest flying team in the world, formed in 1946, right after world war ii. their mission to showcase the pride and professionalism of the united states navy and marine corps by inspiring a culture of excellence and service. they started -- they now fa-18 hornets that have been retired but maintained. today the blue angels have 16 officers, 7 who pilot the famed

jets and keep a gruelling schedule flying in more than 70 shows at 34 locations throughout the united states. my pilot wanted to show me just what these gorgeous blue multi-million dollars birds can do, and trust me, they are flexible. >> ready? hit it. >> pretty cool, huh? >> and fast. capable of speeds well over the speed of sound. >> check this out. here comes -- and there's the sound barrier right there. hit 1.0. >> we weren't allowed to break the sound barrier because the lieutenant didn't want to break the windows on the houses below us in up state new york. but we did do some tricks that about fried my brain like a backwards roller coaster loop. >> i can see the shadow on the ground. >> even flying completely vertical headed straight into space. >> we're going right into the sun! >> right there is straight up. >> woo! >> couple little rolls.

>> this is bonkers. oh my gosh! dude i don't even know which way is up. >> then it was time to experience some harsh gravitational force, g's as they call them, basically pressure on the body done by turning hard while moving really fast. >> are you ready? >> i'm ready. >> squeeze those legs. ready? hit it. >> 7.7 times the weight of gravity on my body. i felt the blood drain from my brain, lost my vision, but snapped back to reality just before passing out. >> how are you doing? >> i'm okay. whoa. >> nice work. >> i'm almost blacked-out. >> thankfully just about 30 seconds later, we were on the ground. coolest thing i have ever done. hands down. >> an experience of a lifetime with a new appreciation for these elite pilots. >> it is hard work. i like to tell everyone we are the professional athletes of what we do.
