ago and talked about saving gas. i will need that volvo. >> shannon: at the camel might be a good way to get through the city. thanks for being with us today, "happening now" starts right no now. >> jon: we start with this fox news alert, president trump flying to europe for a summit with other world leaders as north korea defies the world again and raises the nuclear states, successfully testing a muscle. good morning to you, i'm jon scott and good morning to you. >> molly: i'm delighted to be here. i molly line. the president's first stop will be in poland before meeting with leaders of the world's largest economies at the g20 summit in germany. as north korea launched what the pentagon is confirming was an intercontinental ballistic missile. >> jon: the launch prompting
8:01 am
calls for stronger measures against north korea, raising questions about china's trade relationship with that rogue regime. john roberts is live and warsaw, poland, he's got more for us. >> the president on his way over here aboard air force one will be monitoring the goings-on at the united nations security council be getting at 3:00 this afternoon when the united states will be looking for a very strong reaction from the u.n. security council. china and russia who have a very different view of north korea than the united states. the president before leaving for warsaw lay down a couple of markers ahead of g20 which takes place in hamburg on friday, particularly on trade and north korea seemingly -- trade between china and north korea grow most 40% on the first quarter. so much for china working with
8:02 am
us, but we had to try. it will make for an interesting meeting with between president trump and the chinese president. the two are expected to meet at the sidelines of the summit on friday. on trade, the president taking aim at a number of countries with this tweet saying, "the united states made some of the worst trade deals in world history. why should we continue these deals with countries that do not help us? "trade is going to be a big topic of conversation at the g20. the president wants to let the country -- some of those deals, many of those deals were negotiated in previous ministrations are unfair to the united states and he wants to at least change the details of those deals, if not negotiate them altogether. renegotiate them, that is. here in poland, the president wants to strengthen ties between the united states and the polish
8:03 am
people, ties that go back and off a long way. he's got a lot in common with the president of poland. they share the same political ideology. poland has announced and wants to commit 2.5% of its gdp to the nato alliance. that's a lot more than a lot of countries, even canada, germany, and italy. the president also likes the way that the president is somewhat critical of the politically correct liberalism of many of the countries of western europe. the president gets a chance to talked with the people pulled in directly tomorrow when he gives a big speech at the famous scene of the 1944 polish uprising against germany. it's pretty clear that the president will be on friendly territory because the parliamentarians of the governing law and justice party are allowed to invite 50 people each to that rally tomorrow.
8:04 am
with almost 300 members of the line justice party and both the lower house and the senate, that could be as many as 15,000 people out there to see the president tomorrow. don't know if there'll be any protests tomorrow, be can be certain at the end of the week in hamburg, , there will be a lt of protesters. they will generally be protesting the g20, let alone president trump. >> jon: nobody handles old loud motorcycle live better. >> i drive one, so i know what they're all about. >> jon: john roberts, thank you. >> molly: north korea claiming yesterday's intercontinental ballistic missile lodge marked its final step in creating a nuclear power state. the defense agency previously warned the dangerous mouse and was just days away. >> and might be a matter of time. that demonstrating is continued
8:05 am
to increase, range, altitude, we have to assume that their capability of this is going to attack the united states. >> molly: thanks for being here, christopher. kicking things off, a lot of people said this is a game changer, the fact that there is an intercontinental ballistic missile that could possibly reach alaska and with the u.s. and south korea, they've now called a response. the response being a test. visits on the micro message? >> ed sends a message that the united states and south korea have the capability to respond to threats and north korea and will do so together as allies. whether it's going to solve the broader problem, we can't take a look at a strategic test on the u.s. or south korean side of weapons we've had for ages and use that as a proxy for solving
8:06 am
the strategic to a faculty that the north korean icbms pose. >> molly: we talk about strategy. secretary of state rex tillerson has called north korea's move a new escalation of threat. what does that mean for our relationship with china? the president has put a lot of pressure on china since he took office to help solve the north korea problem. >> it's a pretty important question, molly. the chinese have an interest in a stable korean peninsula, developing nuclear weapons in a capacity to carry them from one continent to another. you would hope that beijing would take some action, but beijing has some local considerations that they also
8:07 am
take into account. one of them being the possibility that the north korean government fails and they have the influx of millions of north korean refugees into chinese territory. one of the important things to note here in terms of president trump's statement on trade this morning and secretary taylor sends statements about aiding and abetting the north korean regime is to look at the trade that's going on. if china is providing food to the north korean economy because they can't feed their own people, it's one thing. but if they continue to provide technology and materials and know-how that would allow north koreans to build more icbms or improve their nuclear weapons program, then that's a very serious situation indeed and probably something that requires heavier sanctions. >> molly: will be watching the president's meeting with the president of china, they had that meeting and mar-a-lago, we'll see if the same happens this time at the g20 summit.
8:08 am
there's an emergency meeting scheduled later on today. how important are these diplomatic relationships and will they be effective? can something be done in that way? >> we expect the u.n. security council on some level to condemn yesterday's test launch. international law defies an intercontinental ballistic missile, any missile that can go over 3,400 miles, that brings russia and china well within the range of this particular missil missile. generally speaking, there is an interest in condemning north korea, the question is really the substance behind that rhetoric. one of the difficulties we've had in the last six decades with north korea, we tend to take a very strong approach on rhetoric, we don't seem to have many options in terms of economic or political nets within the country and it's hard to know exactly what the u.n.
8:09 am
security council will ultimately be able to do for a lot of countries in the international community. they've made a calculation. >> molly: krista respect, thank you for your insight. >> jon: the fight to retake muzzle from isis may now be in its final days. a senior iraqi commander sang isis now controls only a small piece of territory in the old city. greg palkot reports. >> we've been covering this story for like three years. it seems to be near an end, but it's not over yet. the mosul remains a very dangerous place. officials on the ground say that isis fighters now control something like just 600 square
8:10 am
yards of territory in the old city of mosul. they are doing clashes with iraqi forces, special forces, backed with u.s. and coalition help. there is something like 300 is estimated isis fighters in that small enclave, but they are fighting to the finish. last night in baghdad, iran's prime minister declaring victory over isis there. again, this battle has been going on for something like eight months. officials on the ground say that tomorrow is the real victory, but again, the skirmish continues. isis, according to officials there, are launching waves and waves of suicide bombers in the last couple of days, including women suicide bombers. as the casualties mount, along with the deaths, the injuries are said to be the worst of this long, long battle. finally, civilians are still trapped in a small area.
8:11 am
thousands are still there. every time a block of building gets liberated, it's witnessed that civilians flee to the safety of the security forces. the city overall is an absolute wreck. you see this overall shock, it's empty of people and resources like water. it's going to take a while to bring this place back. back to you. >> jon: greg palkot, live from london, thank you. >> molly: new clues and a gruesome murder mystery as friends of a missing bar owner say jennifer lynn donnell was the woman found dismembered in new york city. what investigators are saying about the case. president trump gearing up for a high-stakes meeting with russian president vladimir putin. what the leaders will and won't discuss during their first face-to-face at done this week. >> he should meet with anybody and everybody who can and will.

8:16 am
dna and explaining it may be transferred there. >> jon: fox news alert on the delicate -- the president is now en route to a second overseas trip and the stakes are very high. it will include his first face-to-face meeting with russian president, vladimir putin. the president tweeting this morning, getting ready to leave for poland after which i will travel to germany for the g20. will be back on saturday. joining us now, jake sherman, senior writer for politico and co-author of politico's playbook. as presidential tweets go, that one is fairly to team. >> it seem like a note to you kind of leave for your parents when you go out of town for the weekend. be back on saturday.
8:17 am
north korea stops some of these provocations if the united states and south korea stopped their military actions. that will be something that i'm sure putin will press the president to address. number two, the russians are seemingly upset that they don't have two diplomatic compounds in the united states that president obama, from where president obama struck the russians back a couple months ago. those are the two issues but i think will dominate this meeting in germany. >> jon: the evidence is that russia has been providing north korea. they're hoping to prop up the regime.
8:18 am
we have to keep in mind, north korea has dogged the two previous presidents, george w. bush and barack obama. clearly, this is something he will have to spend many years dealing with and russia is a critical component. >> jon: it is said that vladimir putin, because of his history and the kgb, recruiting spies, knowing what people want, engaging in flattery and helping persuade them to come around to his point of view, he is going to be prepared to meet with this president and sort of woo him. how is president trump supposed to respond to our counter that? >> it's a good question. he has spent an inordinate amount of time talking and thinking about vladimir putin and the russians. he has said during the campaign, if we can work with the russians, that will be great. it will be great to work with somebody who can cut back on isis and all of those things.
8:19 am
the president has some diplomatic skills of his own and we'll see them come into play. obviously, hooton is one of the widely asked figures on the diplomatic circuit. it will be fascinating to watch. >> jon: hooton is expected to bring up the conflict in syria and ukraine. would president trump presumably rather talk about world affairs with food and knock it into election modeling? >> to understand what happened behind closed doors of these two leaders, u.s. government policy basically, mirror the exact opposite of where vladimir putin is. i'm not sure they'll find a whole lot of agreement on those two topics. >> jon: fascinating that there was supposedly a champagne toast
8:20 am
and a russian parliament when donald trump was elected. that was a long time ago. pretty low relations between the two countries right now. jake sherman, have a good day. >> molly: president trump lighting up twitter, of course, as some democrats call for his impeachment, but is there any basis for that? plus a fourth of july party interrupted by this. >> we heard a boom, we thought it was the trash because it's trash day and all of a sudden, we had another boom so i looked out the window and saw the car and it was on fire. these days families want to be connected 24/7.

8:24 am
that car exploded killing the driver. please say 18 people living in the building including the ex-girlfriend and her son got out safely. one of the men who live there said the explosion happened during their fourth of july cookout. >> i came out to see what was going on and there wasn't somebody in the car, so a gentleman who was with the party of the people at the apartment was trying to rip it open, i was trying to find the fire extinguisher. i ran inside. supposedly the gym and had six propane tanks in his car, to exploded and they got for across the street. once they exploded, it kind of singed it the way it is right now. luckily, everyone got out. >> molly: police say they believe the driver and his ex-girlfriend got into a fight tuesday morning. he returned two hours later with the propane tanks in his car. >> jon: some democrats are calling for president trump's resignation because they say he is ill suited for the job.
8:25 am
congresswoman sheila jackson lee of texas say his tweets including one aimed at morning joe host mika brzezinski show he's mentally unfit. >> this president has refused to acknowledge the russia collusion in the idea of the russian involvement in the election. yes, it's being investigated. this individual has fired the director of the fbi and indicated that he did so because he wanted to stop the russia investigation. over the series of his tenure as president, he has done a number of things, a number of tweets. he is incompatible with the office and the leadership of this country. >> jon: the 25th amendment is what she points to as allowing the removal of the president from office. could that happen? >> she probably hasn't read the 24th amendment or did i learned in law school and she attended,
8:26 am
it has nothing to do with the president who is ill suited or in her words, and competent. it's functional incapacity or disability, which is completely different than confidence. we do like the guy's politics or his policies or his temperament. the 25th amendment came about because some presidents have suffered strokes or heart attacks that were disabling. woodrow wilson, dwight d. eisenhower and after kennedy's assassination, people began to wonder what if he survived, but was brain-damaged? the 20 for the amendment came about to identify what you do. again, it's not confidence which is completely different than functional incapacity. >> jon: this is the left looking to go back to november november 8th and change the results of the election. >> they challenged with a recount, that didn't work, the main challenge of the electoral college, that didn't work, then they challenge collusion.
8:27 am
no evidence of that, that's not working, so now they resorted to the 20 for the amendment and they're also talking about impeachment of the president's tweets. impeachment is a high crimes and misdemeanors and tweets don't suffice. >> jon: she didn't call for the president to resign. he should just leave office voluntarily. a little chance that's going to happen. the impeachment thing isn't going anywhere. >> she cites obstruction of justice. if you look at the obstruction statute, it requires a lie, threat, or a bribe. not even james comey alleges that, so it's an applicable. >> jon: let's about something requiring -- regarding the environment. the head of the epa overstepped his bounds when he tried to delay an obama arrow regulation reporting methane leaks. scott pruitt tried to give the oil and gas companies two years before they would have to follow
8:28 am
the rule, but a federal court says pruitt does not have the authority to do that. what about the appeals court? did they get it right? >> it's kind of hard to say. the epa, the administration may seek to repeal it with a full record and go to the supreme court. the lower court wasn't splitting hairs. they didn't actually say that pruitt doesn't have authority to get rid of the methane emissions requirement. instead they said, you first have to jump through a lot of administrative hoops. you have to have public notice, there has to be time for public comment, you have to have a hearing. then a review and so forth. once you do that, then you can take action to get rid of the methane requirements. if i'm pruitt, i'm probably thinking it's easier, faster to jump through the administrative hoops rather than challenge this on appeal, although they may
8:29 am
decide to do that. the u.s. supreme court obviously recently upheld president trump's travel ban when so many lower courts did not. >> jon: gregg jarrett, thank you. >> molly: republican efforts to repeal and replace obamacare, a key part of president trump's domestic agenda, but now constituents are making their voices heard, the impact this could have on the senate's bill. plus, a new york city police officer gunned down in the line of duty. why investigators say ed was a clear assassination.
8:32 am
8:33 am
>> jon: became new york city, police investigating the clear assassination of a veteran nypd officer while she was sitting inside her mobile command unit. it happened overnight in the bronx. >> the suspect struck her in the head. her partner immediately radioed for assistance. an anticrime scene and countered a male subject writing approximately one block from the scene of the shooting. they confronted him and he drew a revolver. the officers shot him and killed him. >> jon: david lee miller is
8:34 am
live with more on that story. >> the police officer who was killed as a 12 year veteran of the force. moments ago, a photograph is released of 48-year-old miosotis familia. the mobile command center where she was shot to death had been in its current location in the bronx since last march. according to a published report based on surveillance video, the shooter walked up to the vehicle is what is described with a sense of purpose. he then fired through the window striking her in the head. her partner radioed for help. >> my partner shot! my partner shot! my partner shot! >> police arrived and spotted the gunmen. he went by multiple aliases. he had a number of criminal
8:35 am
convictions including robbery. when he was confronted by officers, he drew a silver revolver and that's when alexander bonds was shot and killed by police. a bystander was shot in the stomach and is not reported in stable condition. it's not clear who cause that injury. according to initial reports, there is nothing to indicate that bonds were officer familia knew each other. >> basin we know right now, it is clear this was an unprovoked attack on police officers who were assigned to keep the great people of this city safe. >> peter king calling what happened another visits assassination of a cop. a new york senator calling it a daily reminder. officer familia leaves behind three children. >> jon: what a sad story, david lee miller, thank you.
8:36 am
>> molly: senator cruz, just one republican lawmaker who got an ear full from his constituents about health care for the july 4th holiday. so how will the protests affect the efforts to repeal in place obamacare? joining us now, president and founder and former campaign advisor to president clinton. and laurence jones. thank you both for being here. to kick things off, they wanted to see something get done, it didn't get done. is it any wonder that they're getting a lot of heat right now? >> republicans back in 2010 all the way to 2016 promised during the tea party movement for a complete repeal. i think legislators,
8:37 am
establishment members come up put this whole replace thing. when you have people frustrated, particularly in places like my hometown, dallas, texas, the protests against legislators who said they would do something and they're not doing it. it's just going to be an establishment bill. >> molly: your thoughts on that, simon? they're going home and getting slack from both sides of the aisle. >> this because the aca made our health system better. tens of millions of people these are serious improvements. i'm going to finish talking now. there are things we have to do to make it better, but this is -- the aca is at about 55% approval rating, 20 points higher than donald trump and 40
8:38 am
points higher than the republic alternative. there is blowback. the publicans should expect there to be blowback because it's not a -- >> you lost because of obamacar obamacare! >> molly: we talk about constituents. "the washington post" had a pretty interesting breakdown. they said just before of the senate's 42 republicans announced appearances over the july 4th parade and three said they would be holding town hall meetings. as you publicans are going back to their communities, did they have a responsibility to take the heat right now? >> they are elected officials, so they should expect heat. the problem is, they have and explain the bill. it's still better than obamacare, when you get rid of the sanctions on medicaid. when you talk about getting rid of the mandates and the 30 hour rule. it affected a lot of employers because most people have to go and get jobs. there are some good things in
8:39 am
the bill, but i think what american people want to see his repeal. assignment can be delusional all he wants, but it's a fact that democrats lost this past election because of obamacare. that's something they have to be honest about. >> molly: democrats aren't really on board here. there seems to be a big battle over semantics. democrats keep saying they want to rework it and then republicans say we need to repeal, we need to replace. as the semantics part of the problem, that everybody wants to take credit, they want to see things done their way, and the thought should really be on what's best for the american people? >> that's a great question. there's a big disagreement here. democrats will never support something that takes away health care from tens of millions of people to give tax cuts to very wealthy people. there people watching this show who are going to lose their insurance in order to give donald trump a tax cut. we don't think that's right. we're never going to support it.
8:40 am
what we will support as a bipartisan effort to try to make the current system better. what the repugnance of offered is not a fix. it's going to make the system far worse. we are willing and able any day of the week to come together with the republicans to try to find a better path forward and hopefully that will be when the publicans come back in july. >> molly: republicans are having an internal battle as well. the moderates don't like this idea of the cuts that have been proposed to medicaid. the conservatives want to see -- to a certain extent, the g.o.p. needs to battle this out first together. >> right, and i think that's fine. we don't believe -- we're not going to shove a build on america's throat. we'll have the debate, you'll have the conservative wing and then you have some of the moderate members. the best is rand paul's approach, separate the bill. get rid of the mandate.
8:41 am
i'm sure a lot of the democrats will love and get on board with that. i think that's the best solution for this bill. >> molly: we only have about a minute left, but this is about the constituents. that's who poured out trying to talk to the senators over the holiday. what can constituents do to communicate with their lawmakers? >> i think you're seeing it. we saw this during obamacare fight in 2009-2010. many people came out to town hall meetings and debated health care. i think you're seeing this happen again. this stuff really matters. it's going to affect millions of people. it's good for our country that we see so many engaged citizens come out and speak to their elected officials. i wish republicans will be showing more courage and do more town hall meetings. they've not had a single hearing on this bill in six months. that's never happened before and the modern history of the united states. the significance has not had more public airings. i think they need to man up and take their ideas to the american
8:42 am
people. >> i think it's funny that simon seitz 2010 and 2012 when the americans were saying repeal, repeal. democrats wanted their way or the highway and that's not how you get this bill passed. >> molly: thank you both for being here, it was a very spirited discussion, thank you. >> jon: the deadly ground fault fire. why is taking so long to identify the victims. plus fighting terror with drones. our next guest tells us how they are not playing a key role. whoa!
8:43 am
you're not taking these. hey, hey, hey! you're not taking those. whoa, whoa! you're not taking that. come with me. you're not taking that. you're not taking that. you're not taking that. mom, i'm taking the subaru. don't be late. even when we're not there to keep them safe, our subaru outback will be.

this war on terror, especially the feds of isis being conducted in large part by drones. they have played a key and growing role and hunting down our most dangerous enemies. our next guest was a member of one of the elite special forces teams piloting those drones. he is a former delta analyst. fred, it's good to have you on. you have had some incredible experiences hunting these people from the air. it's got to be a very difficult and consuming job. >> it is an information is power and that's what drones bring us. think of all the things you can do all day long and hope not anybody is watching. when it comes to drones, we are watching. drones give us the ability, unlike any words that we have fought for centuries.
8:47 am
now we have all kinds of information that allow us to make decisions. you had >> jon: you had the head of isis or such later sites in the team said no? >> you have to remember that he was not the original leader of the islamic state. he was one of the reasons that the original leaders met their demise. u.s. troops were pulling out of a rack and so the rules of warfare had changed. they had fallen under a different set of rules and guidelines for utilizing drones and i was supposed to be a raid that took place that same night. >> jon: you didn't get him. you perhaps could have.
8:48 am
the russians say they got him earlier in june. the evidence on that is mixed. >> i don't believe it, the government would have known for sure if he was dead. they've got so much information, they're going after these guys every single day. you have brave men and women who are fighting these guys in the street and or hunting these guys down. let me be clear, this should serve as a message to just about anyone who is thinking about joining the ranks of isis. if you go over there, coalition forces are going to kill you or isis will. if you think for one second that you can hurt american soldiers, they could kill american civilians, you better get ready for life on the run because american forces don't forget, they're going to come after you and i are going to find you one of these days. right now, that's taking place every single day in a rack. we've got an incredible group of men and women who are protecting the american people. >> jon: you and your team have
8:49 am
an incredible record. you are taking out 14 of the most wanted terrorists in iraq. >> that shows you how fast we are. we are not taking weekends off so we have to be mobile and move in. that requires our teams to operate at a different level. in this case, that was our job. they were good people american government asks us to hunt them down and we have to do it as fast as possible. >> jon: i know the responsibility and maybe the pressure can get to you and you get to this in the book. you've got life and death power right there in your trigger finger and you're watching all of this through a drone. >> the men and women behind these operations every single day, they know the incredible power that they have and how important it is to stop the attack. you know if your team does not get this guy, he lives another

day to hurt americans. it's hard to disconnect from that. you want to go after the enemy and when we come back home, i would be 60 pounds later, my face would be ghostly white, people wouldn't recognize me because of the stress involved going after the targets. >> jon: thanks for sharing your story. >> molly: british police recovering more human remains from the wreckage of grenfell tower. they say it months of work is needed before the final death toll is known. how do you find made in the usa? that's under debate by many u.s. fractures. why congress is getting involved, next. >> if a cottage is made in the usa, it should be genuinely made in the usa.
