12:00 pm
>> no. but i'll be back tomorrow. >> this is the best tease i've ever done. tomorrow, we will have puppies. >> yes! >> with that, gregg jarrett, take it away. >> republicans debating the road ahead for their healthcare effort. white house officials leave open the door to repealing and later replace obamacare. >> we need to get this thing done and get it done quickly. the american people are struggling. >> no, you can't get rid of this. you can't leave people without what they need. >> our political panel weighs in on the president's tweeting and the criticism coming from some of his fellow republicans. and a potential foreign policy showdown as. trump prepares to meet with china's president. officials in beijing accusing the u.s. of a military provocation as they beef up
12:01 pm
their own military presence in the south china sea. hundreds of military heros facing off in the 2017 warrior games. a look at this year's competitors. some of the challenges they've had to overcome. all ahead in this hour. >> we begin with breaking news out of boston. i'm gregg jarrett in for shepard smith. we're at logan airport where a car crashed into a crowd of people. ten patients have been rushed to nearby hospitals. we don't know the severity of the injuries. according to local media, the driver is on the scene. police telling the associated press, investigators are looking at possible operator error as the incident.
12:02 pm
laura ingle live with more. >> boston ems tweeting out they transported the people to area hospitals. we are trying to get a handle on the injuries. the massachusetts state police tweeting those injured have various degrees of injuries. you take a look at the scene. you can see the taxi on the curb or sidewalk. the taxi driver reportedly drove right into a group of people on porter street. this is in east boston near the logan airport. it's described as a taxi waiting and holding area. a law enforcement official telling fox that as of right now, this appears to be an accident and not related to terrorism. as you mentioned, the driver is cooperating and apparently still on scene. this of course taking place on the very busy fourth of july holiday weekend in which major cities across the u.s. have ramped up security and counter terrorism efforts have been bolstered. this is the sort of thing that police have been talking about,
12:03 pm
talking about putting up sand trucks for garage groups as we get into the fourth of july festivities tomorrow, for large groups to gather. this looks like something different right now. but security is very heightened right now and we'll continue to bring you the latest as we get it. greg? >> thanks, laura. turning now to the white house. at odds with republicans on the best way forward with healthcare. aides say they're open to a plan to first repeal and then sometime later replace the affordable care act or obamacare. >> the only thing that has changed since their vote in 2015 to repeal obamacare and now is that you have a republican president willing to sign it into law and you have the failure of obamacare that much more crisp and of course in front of you. all of these failures. >> last week, senate republicans missed the deadline to reach a deal on healthcare before the july fourth recess. but senate majority leader,
12:04 pm
mitch mcconnell says he has no plans to abandon the current legislation and that he still wants to repeal and replace obamacare all at the same time. and ohio governor john kasich says you cannot repeal obamacare with knock to replace it because some americans might lose their coverage. >> no, you can't get rid of this. you can't leave people without what they need. the obamacare needs significantly reform. there's nobody that i talk to, either side of the aisle, even the democrats, that doesn't think there needs to be significant changes. >> these nine republican senators, there they are on the screen, say they are against the current plan as written. since the gop can afford to lose only two votes, the bill as it stands right now would be dead on arrival. conservatives call it obamacare light.
12:05 pm
moderates criticize the cuts to medicaid. kevin work live at the white house with more. kevin, how confident is the president, his staff that a healthcare bill will come together sometime this summer? >> i like the way you laid that out. really taking it step by step through what is a fairly complicated circumstance. the answer, it depends on the details, right? if you're saying will they get reform, that depends. are we talking about repeal? they like the way this is going. if you're saying replace, not as much. so as you said, the president laying out his approach, repeal, full stop and then come up with something better. that approach seems to be gathering just a bit of steam on capitol hill. >> we do need to get this done. we need it done quickly. the american people are struggling to keep up with their
12:06 pm
healthcare payments and to buy healthcare that they can use. >> right now they can't even repeal it. they can't get 50 votes to repeal it because somebody is getting hurt more than what they're willing to sign on to. work with us democrats that are willing to meet with you in the middle, that are always willing to meet you in the middle. i'm the most centrist person that is willing to work on anything and fix the problems that we have. >> i think he's right about that. he's the most centrist guy on the hill. can he get people to have courage? that's the question, greg. after years of saying we need to repeal, we need to replace, it's been a lot of sizzle and not a lot of steak. here we are with control of the white house, senate and house and no dice yet. >> president trump facing a lot of criticism over his use of social media. he does have it's supporters cheering him on. what is the latest from the white house? >> the twitter media storm once
12:07 pm
again. listen, privately white house officials will say it's tough. they're trying to talk about what they're accomplishing on the jobs front, on the battle against isis. so instead of doing that, they're spending a lot of time talking about what the president has said by way of twitter. publicly they would remind you that he's out there talking about policy. he is out there trying to bypass the middlemen and go directly to the american people. in that respect, this is a whole new chance for the president to go to twitter and say listen, i'm going to take my message to the people. kellyanne conway said even when they do talk about policy decisions and the president tweets about what they're doing, the mainstream media won't talk about it, greg. >> let's talk about russia. for the longest time, the democrats have accused the president of colluding with the russians. no known evidence to this point. now the president is set to meet with vladimir putin. so what can you tell us about
12:08 pm
that? >> listen, as the president gets ready for the g-20, there's a couple major issues. listen, mr. president, are you going to talk about the russian election and collusion? let's get real, right? he's going to talk about what is important today, not what happened seven, eight months ago. i'm not suggesting meddling isn't important. what i'm suggesting, he's going to talk about things that are important now like de-confliction in syria. the president has to keep american troops safe and continue to look for a pathway forward there with so many people, millions perhaps, caught in the crossfire and what is happening there. that plus sanctions. so much to talk about, greg. will he talk about the election? i'm not going to say yes or no, but probably won't be the first topic the men discuss. >> i'd like to be in the room for that conversation.
12:09 pm
>> me too. >> thanks, kevin. more on the battle over healthcare. let's bring in sara westwood, white house correspondent for the washington examiner. so repeal first and then later replace. but would they have the 50 votes for the repeal? >> the problem is president trump's sudden reversal on the strategy for replacing obamacare that he endorsed during the campaign has put senate leadership in a tough spot. mitch mcconnell and some members of trump's own administration are still trying to frame the argument to republican lawmakers as a binary choice. either they vote for the bill on the table or they're endorsing the status quo of obamacare. so for president trump to come out of nowhere and introduce a third option that might empower conservative critics to hold out in the hopes that they will get their way and have repeal, delay
12:10 pm
replace, be the situation that republicans find themselves in and no, it doesn't look like repeal and replace has enough votes. neither does the current bill. but it doesn't help. >> so a lot of horse trading still going on. you have all summer to do teals. let's make a deal with monty hall on capitol hill. you heard john kasich, the governor of ohio say, you can't just get rid of obamacare overnight. sure, you could. revert back to the previous methods of obtaining insurance. what about a phase-out of obamacare? let's say they repeal it but say you have a year to replace it. what about that? >> that's a strategy that folks like ben sasse endorses. the issue is of the 12 or so senators that now stand opposed to the bill, there are several like dean heller or like susan collins of maine that are opposed to the bill because they think the cuts are too deep.
12:11 pm
they think the rollback of medicaid is too significant. other issues with the rollback of regulations they don't like. so a phase-out or clean repeal would be harder to bring them to the table. so while that would satisfy some conservatives, it wouldn't help you get to 50 because you're leaving out the centrist, moderate lawmakers opposed to the bill as is and you might lose some republicans now that are recheluctant yeses. >> you have some states that have expanded medicaid. what about the tax cuts? you have roughly $500 billion over ten years in the current bill is. that in jeopardy now? might get rid of the tax cuts entirely? >> there's talk that if senator ted cruz's proposed amendment, an amendment as you know that would allow insurance providers to sell plans that do not comply with obamacare regulations as
12:12 pm
long as they also offer aca compliance plans, there's talk that if the cbo scores favorably this week that conservatives would be willing to make concessions on the tax cut front to appease the more centrist lawmakers that are worried the current bill has too many tax cuts to the rich. it's not clear the cbo will give that a green light. it's not clear that conservatives can walk away from the tax cuts already in the bill right now. so everything is still up in the air right now. you can bet that mcconnell will be burning up the phone lines over this recess week trying to get members to a consensus. >> i have a feeling it will be in the air with a lot of balls juggling simultaneously. thanks, sarah. >> thank you. >> the gop healthcare debate has been the focus on capitol hill. but republicans are still facing a full plate of other challenges. potential battles are looming
12:13 pm
over critical issues like the budget and tax reform. a live report ahead. the islamic state making a last stand in mosul. the terrorist army is now sending out women suicide bombers to attack iraqi forces on the verge of a full victory. that and much more coming up on the fox news deck. this this is my body of proof. proof of less joint pain and clearer skin. this is my body of proof that i can take on psoriatic arthritis with humira. humira works by targeting and helping to block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to both joint and skin symptoms. it's proven to help relieve pain, stop further joint damage, and clear skin in many adults. humira is the #1 prescribed biologic for psoriatic arthritis. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions,

12:15 pm
>> as republican lawmakers focus on healthcare right now, there
12:16 pm
are of course other agenda items. for example, the budget and tax reform. all of it seems to be on the back burner. house speaker paul ryan told real clear politics, he thinks the gop can still get both done by the end of the year. so far republicans have been divided on how to deal with those two issues. some lawmakers say they need more time. they're calling on congressional leaders to cancel the august recess so they can keep on working. mike emanuel is live in washington with more on that. so they're going to keep working? that doesn't sound typical, mike. >> we'll see, greg. you have ten senators and a dozen house republicans saying it's time to reduce or get rid of the break next month. congressman andy bigs, wrote a letter to paul ryan saying we asked you to cancel congress' plans for the break in august.
12:17 pm
there's issues like obamacare and tax reform and the debt. >> there's a lot that is critically important like the debt. i don't leave my family four or five days to go to d.c. because i care that much about the mark natural tax rate of the top 1%. i care about a growing economy. >> a group of republican senators noted there's 33 possible legislative days between now and the end of the fiscal year. if there's no deal on health care next week, expect calls for cancelling recess to grow louder. >> are democrats using this dead lock against republicans? >> yes. democrats are saying this is a sign that the republicans cannot govern. they're hoping republicans can struggle and it will have an impact on next year's elections. nancy pelosi says gop leaders are not getting it done. >> no jobs bill? no infrastructure bill? no tax reform bill?
12:18 pm
no healthcare bill? no legislation to uphold the full face of the united states of america no nothing except, again, taking away protections for clean air and clean water for our children. >> republican leaders acknowledge they will get graded on what they have accomplished. they say that will be november next year and still time to get a number of big ticket items done. greg? >> thanks, mike. did you see this? if you want a whole beach to yourself, run for governor in new jersey. that's what chris christie is telling critics after taking his family to that stretch of sand that is off limits to everybody else. how he's defending his day at the beach coming up next. ♪ if you have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis,... isn't it time to let the real you shine through? maybe it's time for otezla (apremilast). otezla is not an injection or a cream.

12:22 pm
>> gre >> greg: i want to update our breaking news story. an automobile plowed into a group of pedestrians. several have been injured. taken to area hospitals. the latest on their condition, serious to minor. no deaths reported so far. the driver of the vehicle, it was actually a cab and near the pool of cabs at logan airport. 56 years old. a cambridge man. he's cooperating with police. it appears to be operator error. we'll update you as we get more information. new jersey governor chris christie getting a load of criticism after he went to a state beach that is closed to everybody else. christie ordest a government shut down after he and lawmakers couldn't reach a budget deal before the july 1 deadline. he and his family still went to
12:23 pm
the state beach that happens to be the governor's big residence there. that is christie in the middle in the great t-shirt in case you didn't recognize him. he was part of the only group on that beach. no other taxpayers. of course, it's very rare to see a new jersey beach this empty during the summertime. especially on the big july fourth holiday weekend. christie says anybody that wants to use the governor's beach house should run for governor. yesterday he fired back at a reporter who asked him about the beach. >> next, next. excuse me. next. next. i'm done. we're talking about the closure of government. you're talking about your tmz stuff. yeah. >> greg: life is a beach, ain't it? today christy urged people to go to local beaches. he said n.j. beaches are open in 119 of 130 miles of coastline.
12:24 pm
enjoy them but use sunscreen and hydrate. christie said he didn't close the beach. lawmakers didn't pass the budget for him to sign. david lee miller is here. what else did he say? >> let's start with the critics. at best, they say the governor was disingenuous. he held a news conference in trenton. we heard the governor talk about lack of services at the beach. but he was explicitly asked if he got any raise. his answer was short. but notable. >> i didn't get any sun today. >> my question is this: are there life guards at the -- >> no. no. there's no one on the beach. there's no lifeguards, there's no one to pick up the garbage. there's no one providing any services at the state park. >> in case you missed it, he said he didn't get any sun
12:25 pm
today. in a short time later when asked about the photos, his spokesman was argued. he might have been on the beach but he didn't get any sun because he was wearing a baseball hat. technically he's being honest. >> he looks a little pasty to some but that's beyond me experti experti expertise. >> greg: he's lashing out at the media for asking silly questions. if i'm the governor and we're having budget problem, i think i'd sail the beach house that the public is paying for. anybody asking that? >> arguably, you're right. this is more going on here than simply the optics of this. this morning the governor went on television, speaking on telephone to the local fox affiliate in new york city to ridicule the journalists that took the aerial photos. he explained a week ago that he announced, no matter what
12:26 pm
happened, we're coming here as a family this weekend. he said the resident at the beach is one of two locations where his family lived and then he mocked it as a great bit of journalism. he said "i'm sure they're going to get a pulitzer prize for this one because they caught me doing what i said i would do with the people i said i was going to be with." governor christie's latest tweets talking about beaches that are not affected by the state government shut down appear to be an attempted damage control. but it's too little the late. his approval rating in the state is now down to a record low 15. also worth noting, his lieutenant governor who is running to secede him, she said if she were governor, she wouldn't be on the beach. he would be trying to solve the budget impass. >> why does the governor need two houses?
12:27 pm
i only have one. why does he need two at the taxpayer expanse? >> they call it the garden state for a reason. >> it's the rip-off state. >> thanks, david. more ahead on president trump's war with the media and his recent tweets cross the line and if it's only fair to fight fire with fire. we'll break it down. first, rare good news out of the scenes of destruction of the wild fires out west. we'll show you an incredible rescue that led to this heart warming picture. not gonna get my job done. pain's kind of self-defining. when it hurts, it hurts. when i can't do something, it makes me feel isolated. with aleve, you can stay strong longer because only aleve has the strength to stop tough pain for up to 12 hours with just one pill. tylenol can't do that. i get to be present and enjoy what i love. this is my pain. but i am stronger.

(woman 2 vo) i'm caring for someone with moderate alzheimer's. if you are too, ask about namzaric today. >> greg: some lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are now criticizing president trump for his latest round of tweets attacking the media. the president tweeted this video over the weekend. shows president trump wrestling somebody to the ground. the cnn logo placed over the person's face. that clip is from way back in
12:33 pm
2007 when the then reality tv star donald trump made a wwe appearance. president trump caused controversy when some of his fellow republicans blasted his tweets. >> it's unfortunate. people are begging the president not to do this. you have to stop doing it. we'll see what happens. it's one of the few things that i think have brought republicans and democrats together. he spends so much time fighting them, they're all aghast. it's not the way we ought to be. it's the -- the coarseness is not acceptable. >> there's a distinction between crappy stories and citizens can complain about that and recognize distrust. >> the white house says the president has every right to fight back when members of the media attack him. his senior counselor, kellyanne conway say journalists need to
12:34 pm
be focused on the bigger picture. >> it's a heck of a lot easier to cover 140 characters here or there and what the president may be saying about the media here or there than to learn the finer points of how medicaid is funded in this country and how that water would not change under the senate bill, how the child care tax credit might affect your family. they don't cover the finer policy points. >> greg: president trump had more to say about the media in an event honoring veterans. he said "the fake media tried to stop us from going to the white house, but i'm president and they're not." let's bring in our political panel. sean steele is a republican strategist, former california gop scare. scott bolden here with us from the democratic party. sean, start with you. the president's supporters and a great many of them are cheering him for calling out the media
12:35 pm
for being biassed. they think it's refreshing that he's so blunt, so candidate. are his words and treats construckive or destructive? >> both. they're both intentional. let's talk about trump's former job was a show man, a tv star. he understands the media. he has a good pulse on the public. it's a turning point in the media wars. for decades we've had a one-party centralized elite established media that kind of got their way and stuck in a bubble and trump was the great disrupter and the media, not all of it because it's changing quickly, but the establishment media has lost such credibility to a great extend that they have far less credibility and popularity than donald trump. trump knows that. it's working. >> greg: let me get a question out. it's almost forgotten that the
12:36 pm
two cable tv hosts that dry the president's ire were relentless and venomous in their disparaging comments about the president. they called him out of his mind, mentally unfit, demented, a dug and a dope. why aren't they being condemned? >> one, we have a first amendment. secondly, more importantly, i condemn them for attacking him personally by calling him names. i will say this. those two journalists were the basis for them making those statements was the narrative that donald trump drives and driven regarding his policy, tweet and -- >> greg: you can't justify calling the up a dope and a thug. you can't justify that. >> i didn't just justify it. i said what drove them to do that name-calling was rooted in narratives and their opposition -- >> greg: but that's justifying that.
12:37 pm
there's no equivalency there. >> and no equivalency to attack them back. that's not right either. it has no place in our political discourse. he's the president of the united states. we're going to get attacked personally and politically if you respond to every attack. how are you going to move the country forward -- >> greg: sean, some people are saying that the president's videotape of a wrestling match may incite violence against journalists. what about the words and images provocative of violence against the president? a bloody head of the president, a play depicting his being assassinated, the words of madonna and johnny depp. goodness. what about that? >> this is serious business. a major european magazine that just had a picture of donald trump with a target on it with the headlines, why not? in english. this is the kind of stuff that we're seeing that is becoming
12:38 pm
normalized mainstream and unfortunately not dealt with be the democrat senior leadership. they're embracing this. i'm representing students that were beat up in berkeley by anti-trump supporters at an anti trump rally. by the way, a great pleasure suing berkeley. something i wanted to do. but hundreds of events where trump supporters are getting beat up and the president's family, his 11-year-old boy blasted and attacked by snarky new york liberals in the media. then we see melania who speaks six languages, considered foolish and stupid. we've seen the most hostile press. they can't believe trump is the president, but more than that, he's succeeding and his presidency is becoming successful. that scares them more than anything. >> greg: scott, i want to ask you about something you told our
12:39 pm
producer. you said "potus created the war with media." don't you have it backwards. i read that harvard study. they concluded 80% of the coverage of trump was negative for cnn and nbc. 93% was negative. you compare it to barack obama. only 41% was negative. don't you have that backwards? >> no, i don't think so. the president drives that narrative. if it's negative coverage, it's negative because what he's saying and what he's doing -- he's either lying to the public or they're cross-checking or cross fact-checking what the president has done and he's wrong about that. i don't see anything wrong with it being negative. they gave him $3 billion of free ad space and free coverage during the campaign. i don't know why he has a war with the media. he's got a war with the media -- >> greg: then why would the harvard study says the news media needs to give president trump actions where warranted
12:40 pm
but they don't? >> i can't speak for the harvard study. i believe the mainstream media does give the president credit for gorsuch and others. there's so much energy and bad policy and representations being made by the trump administration and donald trump himself. the media has to cover it. it's the height of hypocrisy for us to say that the democrats have been urging violence and been engaged in violent representation. when donald trump urges violence himself. it's rallies, historically against the media. goes both ways. it all needs to stop. >> greg: hypocrisy in washington? i never heard of it. >> i'm narrating. >> greg: scott, sean, good to see you. thank for being with us. >> thank you. >> thanks. >> greg: china accusing the united states of a serious military provocation. this after defense officials tell fox news an miles an hour warship sailed near a disputed island in the south china sea.
12:41 pm
for the second time since president trump took office. pentagon officials say the navy destroyer sailed near the island yesterday. the move damaged china's relationship with the u.s. and they're now promising to step up patrols in the region. jennifer griffin live at the pentagon with more. hi, jennifer. >> hi, greg. it's notable that china will take over as head of the u.n. security council for the most of july, this video shows the u.s.s. steedham carrying out a live fire dream. today beijing's foreign minister accused the united states of stirring up trouble in the region. it's the second time since president trump took office. the pentagon dispatched a warship to conduct a freedom of navigation operation. protesting china's claims to the idea. trialed by a chinese warship sailed off the coast of triton
12:42 pm
island, greg. >> greg: jennifer, the president could meet with the chinese president this week, right? >> that's right. he's expected to meet face to face with his chinese counter part in germany. expect a cooler meeting this time around compared to the warm atmosphere at mar-a-largo a few months ago. there's signs that the trump administration is growing frustrated with beijing's reluctance to reign in north korean over the nuclear and ballistic missile programs. president trump spoke to president chi last night. there was no mention of the u.s. warship in the read-out of the call provided by the white house. last week, the state house announced a $1.4 billion arms sale to taiwan and sanctioned a chinese bank aimed at the north korean ballistic missile program. last week, china launched a new warship which analysts say is on
