>> if you want more one, we are staying right here for overtime. we are back on tv tomorrow at 12:00 eastern, "happening now" starts right now. >> a fox news alert, a pentagon spokesman says the u.s. did not shoot down north korea's intercontinental ballistic missile after its launch because it was not considered a threat to north america or its allies. >> jon: this is we are learning that missile was not one we had seen before. we are covering all the news, happening now. president trump facing some big decisions as he prepares for his first meeting with vladimir putin. speak up prioritize the nato alliance, prioritize proof of relations with russia. >> jon: will election of meddling come up? plus, what is the next move on north korea? >> he has challenged china to step up.

>> jon: a long-range missile could reach american shores. cracking the code on president trump and his fans, how a billionaire became the voice of a common man. >> our rights are given to us by god and no earthly force can take those rights away. >> jon: it's all happening now. we begin with the crucial test for president trump as he prepares to meet face-to-face with russian president vladimir putin at the g20 summi summit. welcome to the second hour of happening now. >> molly: president trump flying to poland right now, he'll make a short stop in warsaw before heading to germany for the g20 summit, where he will meet with world leaders including that vladimir putin. we are now learning that the

pentagon watched the north korean prepare for this launch in advance. meanwhile, challenges for the president here at home with the fate of health care still undecided in the senate. >> jon: we have live fox news coverage live in warsaw, poland, where the president is set to arrive a few hours from now. >> north korea was already at the top of president trump's agenda heading into this trip, now it has become the issue over almost everything else. are the only thing that may get more attention is his first face-to-face meeting with russian president vladimir putin, that is set to take place on friday. and then the very next day, he will likely meet with someone that putin just met with. it president trump has been pressuring the chinese presiden

president -- so much for china working with us, but we had to give it a try. president trump also took aim at our european allies like the german chancellor over what he described as an unfair trade deal. he is expected to receive a fairly frosty reception at the g20 in germany, very different than the one he will likely receive in poland. this country is run by conservative government that also favors restrictive immigration policy and just to give you an idea of how popular president trump is here in poland, check out the cover of these magazines that hit newsstands today, both of them have headlines in english that say "make poland great again." >> jon: interesting twist. >> molly: a fox news alert,

the u.n. security council holding an emergency session in response to north korea's latest missile test. our u.n. ambassador nikki haley calling for the meeting after the nation successfully launched an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of hitting the united states. >> the u.n. security council has passed some 15 resolutions against north korea over the past 11 years, making it among the most sanctioned nation in the world, but that has not stopped the north korean dictator kim jong-un from pursuing his nuclear ambitions are test firing missiles including yesterday's, which could potentially be armed with a nuclear warhead and could potentially hit the state of alaska. the launch drew swift condemnation from foreign leaders, this is a reminder of the danger north korea poses to

our allies. any fresh sanctions will involve china, but the chinese have long offered economic support to the regime and even allegedly supplied the portable missile launcher that was used to fire yesterday's icbm. >> china is probably going to do what he has done in the past, which is to stall and watered down security council resolutions. what the united states can do is impose costs on china that are so great that eventually beijing will have to fall into line with us and our friends. >> a particular interest is not just what china says today but also what russia says during this open session of the security council set to start roughly two hours from now.

>> molly: keeping an eye on the next steps in diplomacy, we will see what happens. >> jon: president trump is still pushing for a health care deal, reaching out to key senators over the fourth of july weekend, trying to secure more support for the g.o.p. plan in the senate. >> the american people know that obamacare is failing, they know insurance rates have continued to skyrocket, they know insurers are fleeing markets and last year alone, 83 insurers left the markets. people know this is a dramatic situation. the president this weekend is continuing to make calls to members to try to get the senate package across the finish line. >> jon: time may be running out to reach a compromise as lawmakers soon turned their attention to more urgent matters, like raising the debt ceiling. joining us now, sarah westwood, white house correspondent for the "washington examiner" ." also, co-author of the book "

"shattered." sarah, you first. what's the wagering on capitol hill about whether or not the senate is actually going to come up with a bill in time? >> the prospects for this bill are still very tenuous even though leadership working through the july 4th recess to build support for some kind of deal. senator ted cruz has proposed an amendment that does have the potential to break the jam and bring on some conservative know goes. what that amendment would do is allow insurance providers to sell plans that don't comply with obamacare regulations as long as they also sell plans that do. the cbo is currently scoring that amendment but even if it receives a favorable score, it doesn't do anything to bring on board some of the more moderate, centrist objectors. dean heller, susan collins, they

are going to be more put off by a bill that further cuts regulations, so mitch mcconnell will probably be looking to conservatives to grab some concessions, like reducing the tax cuts included in the bill in exchange for that amendment to try to meet in the middle and bring some of those moderates on board as well. >> jon: one of the ideas is to just repeal the thing altogether, how would that actually were? obamacare has obviously been in place for seven years, how do you just junk the thing? >> that is the difficulty right now, they are trying to figure out how exactly to do that and no one is coming up with a clear path, it is trickier than i think a lot of people thought that it would be. it's interesting, they are running into a lot of resistance along the way. susan collins came out today in a "washington post" piece and said that all weekend, all she has been hearing from her constituents is to keep going and oppose the plan, they are

basically for her and they were cheering her on in her opposition for the plan. i think you are still going to hear a lot of this, this is why you are seeing a lot of opposition within the caucus for this bill. >> jon: the president obviously has said that he wants to see the senate get something passed, but he is out of town this weekend it's kind of out of sight, out of mind for big legislation when it comes to the sort of thing, isn't it? >> that's why i think a lot of the heavy lifting of getting some kind of deal passed by the end of the week would fall to senate majority leader mitch mcconnell. the president was hands-off while the bill was being put together, and once the legislation wasn't revealed, president trump got a little more involved, he invited the entire g.o.p. caucus to the white house, he has been burning up the phone lines, calling some of these republican lawmakers who have reservations, but most

of the work has fallen to senate leadership and they are going to have to be the ones closing the seal since the chief negotiator is out of town during the july 4th recess which is the prime time for leadership to get a deal together. this will really fall to mitch mcconnell defines a buddy to navigate through this. >> jon: the clock is ticking, they do not have much time. >> they have essentially about of of months of working to finish this. they want to get through a lot of other things, they want to actually work on the budget, they want tax reform. of these are heavy lifts that they need to do relatively quickly and i know they are all kind of watching the clock like "how can we make this work?" i think that is why you are seeing a lot of people call for less of a recess, maybe no recess at all so they can plow through this and get some of this done and give president trump some points on the board in terms of his legislative agenda. >> jon: it will be fascinating

to watch, we should put a little clock in the quarter of the screen and keep an eye on how this thing goes. thank you both. >> molly: major news in the auto industry, one high end announcing a full transition to electric and hybrid vehicles. at the start date is right around the corner. plus, fast-moving wildfires tearing up the terrain out west, the dangerous conditions the crews there are facing on the ground. >> we just can't find any more resources, they are either committed or those jurisdiction jurisdictions -- she's nationally recognized

once-daily xarelto®, a latest-generation blood thinner... ...significantly lowers the risk of stroke in people with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. it has similar effectiveness to warfarin. xarelto® works differently. warfarin interferes with at least 6 blood-clotting factors. xarelto® is selective, targeting just one critical factor interacting with less of your body's natural blood-clotting function. for afib patients well-managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® compares in reducing the risk of stroke. don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase risk of stroke. while taking, you may bruise more easily, or take longer for bleeding to stop. it may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you've had spinal anesthesia, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle-related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures... ...and before starting xarelto®-about any conditions, such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. it's important to learn all you can...

...to help protect yourself from a stroke. talk to your doctor about xarelto®. there's more to know™. >> molly: a fox news alert, dangerous conditions out west, crews are battling more than 20 wildfires including one in arizona that has burned nearly 18,000 acres. >> we are at the peak of a fire

season right now, temperatures are hot and winds are strong and humidity is low. when you look at the map, you can see the conditions are perfect to fuel each fire. there are wildfires burning in every western state, including nevada where almost a dozen fires have burned 100,000 acres. crews say they are stretched in. >> i can't even tell you what reno or sparks is dealing with, we can't find any more resources here in northern nevada, the are either committed or those jurisdictions can't spare them. >> in parker arizona, a fourth of july celebration sparked panic when a firework went off early, landed and brush and created a dangerous fire to get out of control. the largest fire burning in arizona is now more than half contained after burning

47,000 acres but others like the borough fire are continuing to rage out of control. north arizona fire crews had to ground a helicopter because the drone. in forest lake arizona, authorities are looking for an arson suspect that started several fires and then pulled out a gun after responding federal officer. thankfully, that officer was not hurt. >> molly: we understand there is a problem with the personal drone? >> we've been seeing this over the last couple of years, residents go out and put their drones in the air and what happens is the fire crews have to ground their helicopters, the helicopters that are trying to get the flames out on the ground because there is a danger to the crews in the air. fire authorities across the country are asking people to keep that in mind, don't fly at your drones in any of these areas. >> molly: seems like a pretty reasonable request when you see that map. thank you very much.

that is why my administration is transferring power out of washington and returning that power back up to where it belongs, to the people. to the people. for too long, politicians have tried. to centralize authority among the hands of a small few. i see them all the time. bureaucrats think they can run over your lives, overrule your values, metal in your faith and tell you how to live, what to say and where to pray. but we know that parents, not bureaucrats know best how to raise their children and create a thriving society. >> molly: president trump of firing up a crowd of supporters

and unleashing that familiar attack against the elites. a headline caught our eye, it reads... >> molly: think you both for

being here. when you see these big speeches, the huge outpouring on the campaign trail, is it really as simple as him understanding something and tapping into a? >> certainly i think, the reason he does understand is his own life experience in new york. he wanted to be in that club, or he disdained to the people who disdained him for not playing the game they wanted him to. that certainly is a court he struck with a lot of his supporters who felt left behind or ignored or whose concerns of the elites that they perceived as running things had messed up for them. every time he says it something that is not politically correct, and the establishment and the media are aghast, his supporters love it.

that's part of what drives him forward and drives his support forward. the question is, is there enough of that without reaching some of those who don't agree with him. >> molly: he is still using this approach and still taking it to the people. do you think this will maintain as he goes forward? >> i think that is hard to judge right now. at the american people, we talk a lot about them being angry but i think some of the words that may be important here and that are applicable to president trump as they are also impatient and very tired of washington not producing the kinds of results they expect. america is changing, 54% of american small towns are losing population, there are crises in people's lives that are not being addressed and i think when donald trump spoke during his campaign, he spoke very clearly

and very unabashedly pro-american. he was the one guy that went out there and put america first over and over again and people still have that patriotic string he can pull and it worked better than anything else. there is another factor here. donald trump didn't really have a strong competition from hillary clinton. she was obviously part of the liberal elite and when it came time for a choice between an outsider and the consummate insider, it was an easy choice for most americans to vote for donald trump. >> molly: you tapped into something there, is this really about respect? this is an age where tech billionaires get all the attention. did donald trump see something when he talks about the forgotten men and women, and appreciation for the fact that they helped build this country

and the generation before them? >> that's true. again, he didn't get the respect he thought he deserved for making the billions and the deals he made. i think he does identify with that. it's also one of the reasons when hillary clinton made the deplorable's gas, it poured to feel on that fire, it was probably the biggest mistake within the campaign that she made among several. it created that more gasoline on that fire resentment and being looked down upon. trump is experienced that in his career and that is why he connects so well to people who look at washington and feel that way about their leaders. i think terry is right, the question here is if you don't get anything done now, if you

don't improve their lives, that impatience gets stronger every day where nothing happens. that is going to be the questio question, can he and the republicans put together some actual achievements that move the ball forward. >> molly: when you talk about moving forward, when he said make america great again, he talked about bringing jobs back, the rust belt really poured out for him. the idea that you could preserve a way of life and just have appreciation for the people that helped to create -- laid the bricks for the foundation we are all standing on, tapping into that of fulfilling promises to that group of people that he promised to keep those promises, is that the key? >> people want to be self-reliant, they want to have their communities and their job jobs, created and stronger where they live and when they feel

like there is no hope for any advancement, that their children aren't going to see a better america, if we don't get things fixed, they are going to continue to be angry. i do think with respect to joe's point about accomplishment, the president has promised lot of things that are going to be very difficult to deliver. manufacturing jobs, may never come back the way they did before. the coal industry is the victim of the economics of energy and it is going to be very tough for these promises to be fulfilled unless he has some really powerful alternatives that can get the economy really transformed in a way that right now it is not, we are still kind of stuck in idle with this economy. we need growth for people to feel like their lives can be better in the future. >> molly: thank you for

joining us. meanwhile, the president still goes out there and speaks back to the people. thank you for being here. >> jon: right now, the president is on his way to europe, gearing up for a meeting there with russian president vladimir putin. what to expect when two of the most powerful leaders in the world get together. also, new information on north korea's launch of that missile capable of reaching the united states, what the pentagon knew before the rogue nation's first successful test of an intercontinental ballistic missile. what are the options now? >> there are really probably know good military options for the united states, we can try to shoot down missiles before they are launched but that risks escalation. g okay... then it hit me... ...managing was all i was doing. when i told my doctor,... ...i learned humira is for people who still have

symptoms of moderate to severe crohn's disease... ...even after trying other medications. in clinical studies,... the majority of people on humira... saw significant symptom relief... ...and many achieved remission. 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, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where... ...certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb,... ...hepatitis b, are prone to infections,... ...or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. just managing your symptoms? ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, remission is possible.

when this guy got a flat tire in the middle of the night, so he got home safe. yeah, my dad says our insurance doesn't have that. what?! you can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance. >> jon: a fox news alert, the u.n. called an emergency session of the security council in the wake of north korea's missile test. we are just getting word that the u.s. knew north korea was preparing for this launch. this is north korea's first successful icbm launch and it's first time using a mobile launcher, which could make the missiles significantly more difficult to locate before they go up. live at the pentagon now with more. >> the pentagon says this is not a missile it has seen before and it was fired from a launch pad, not used before by north korea. it also had the longest ballistic missile flight time to

date. we just learned that u.s. intelligence watched the north koreans prepare for this launch in advance. they saw the missile being fueled, we are told that this new icbm missile use liquid fuel which means it takes a lot longer to fuel than if solid fuel had been used. pentagon spokesman geoff davis said they did not shoot it down because it did not threaten the u.s. homeland, adding it didn't threaten commercial airliners and shipping in the region, it flew for 37 minutes. at this video of the test was provided by the north korean state news agency. what worries officials here is the two-stage missile being able to reenter the earth's atmosphere and put in the future carry a nuclear warhead. kim jong-un was present at the test state, this new icbm which hasn't even been named yet flew 400 miles higher than the last big a missile on mother's day.

missile experts say this north korean icbm could have reached alaska if fired on a regular trajectory. late yesterday the pentagon responded, releasing this video of american army and south korean military units testing short-range surface to surface missiles which can travel up to 200 miles away, keep in mind it is only 35 miles from the border of north korea. of the u.s. has dozens of interceptor missiles at bases in alaska and california to shoot down a rogue missile in outer space before it reenters the earth's atmosphere, however the navy's last test to shoot down a missile from a worship on june 22nd failed when the missile missed of the target. >> jon: thank you. ♪ >> molly: president trump departing for his second overseas trip this morning, heading to the g20 summit in germany. a chance to revitalize his relations with european leaders

after a trip to brussels earlier this year where he did not reaffirm washington's commitment to nato. it is also his first meeting with his russian counterpart, vladimir putin. the first meeting between u.s. and russian leaders in more than two years. for more on this, i am joined by former speechwriter for the secretary of defense. thank you so much for joining m me. when we are looking ahead to the g20, president trump making his second trip abroad, normally these meetings may be seen -- there is a lot of intrigue going on. is there a chance he will be snubbed by european leaders? >> i think you are exactly right, this is a meeting where there is a lot at stake. i've been to a couple of these before, usually they are pretty boring events. this is a chance for trump to

prove himself on the world stage and have a reset. i think it was f scott fitzgerald who said there are no second acts in american life. we better hope that is not the case for trump and his foreign policy, there are a few issues where he has done very well, iraq for example, where he has really struggled is with our allies and partners, particularly heavyweights like france and germany. this presents him with a chance to rejuvenate those partnerships and show he is a serious broker and a serious leader and america is going to lead with its nato allies. >> molly: he came into this presidency with a strong america first message, how does he reach out to these european leaders who do not warm up to him quickly? which european leader is the most important? >> i think angela merkel is probably the most important, she has the most experience. she speaks russian, she came from east germany and that is really the person he is going to

have to persuade. one of the main issues she will be looking to it and many of our allies and partners is how this meeting with vladimir putin on the sidelines of the g20 goes. you've heard from the administration and from others in the press, they are trying to come up with some concessions to russia, there is going to be perhaps of a reset with russia. where we need the reset is being firm and our commitment with our allies and partners, in particular with the germans and the french. but also with our partners in the baltic state and places like poland where he will be in the trip as well. >> molly: all eyes on that meeting with russian president vladimir putin, a lot of topics could be discussed. russia meddling in the election, syria, north korea. which of these strong personalities may have the upper hand? >> to tell you the truth, putin is really in a box when you look at the sanctions the obama administration put on him, they are doing incredible damage, that is why the russians have

gone to great lengths to get them removed. russia is a power in decline. i think when we approach the russians, we have to do so realizing that we come from it and an enormous position of strength. trump and his team should realize that as they approach this meeting. anything coming out of that meeting where trump does not show that we have a strong hand and offers concessions, i think that would be a mistake and a very unfortunate situation, not just for this one meeting, but for our relationships with our allies and partners on the road. >> molly: with the firing of this intercontinental ballistic missile, it can't be understated at the international community will be very concerned about this. of what meetings are the most important in that respect? there was a war meeting between the president and the president of china when he was at the morrow log a resort, will that be a pivotal importance going forward? >> i think china is important, you have seen how president trump has taken to twitter to telegraph some of his

message with the chinese. he knows the art of the surprise. in some ways, hopefully there will be a greater firmness, greater seriousness with the chinese and with the russians. if you look at north korea for instance, where china has stopped funding and stop supporting north korea, russia has tried to fill the vacuum. >> molly: thank you so much for your insights, we will all be watching this right down to the body language and handshakes, we appreciate it. >> jon: french president emmanuel macron visits one of the country's nuclear submarines. france will be the only nuclear

>> molly: the u.s. lifting a ban on electronic devices and airplane cabins for two more international airlines, emirates and turkish airlines now say that customers can carry their laptops on board. both airlines say they met new security requirements allowing them to be accepted from the band.

>> this is an incredible amount of effort that is going into something that is just not a problem. i am not interested in handing over the voter role of connecticut to a commission whose authority is still in question. i want to make sure if i do anything it is to protect the privacy of the citizens of our state and that is my responsibility. >> jon: that is a connecticut secretary of state saying she is not handing over voter information to a new commission run by vice president pence. connecticut plus two dozen other states and washington, d.c., are refusing the request for all kinds of information including voting history. over the weekend, president trump tweeted... privacy group now taking it to court, filing an emergency request that the commission be stopped from demanding the voter

data. here to talk about it, our legal panel today. when we think of government, we think our government wants to do good things, right? wire state governments refusing or at least rebuffing this request from the federal government? >> if you look at it from a democratic point of view, there are privacy concerns and voter intimidation issues. on the republican side, we believe states have rights in the federal government should not be coming into what is traditionally a states rights issue and demanding data that could present all sorts of security concerns. those secretaries of state each have to be concerned that if they produce this data, without a court saying to do it, they themselves can be held liable for releasing that private information in lawsuits filed against them. this needs to be cleared by the

court because some of the data being asked for, partial social security numbers, places where people live, the ability to hack that data, bad guys can use that data for bad things, it is very problematic. if it were me i would not do it unless i had a court order. >> jon: to the states have a point? >> they have an argument in terms of a technical argument in terms of its format. voter data is available, the rnc and dnc have data on all americans who vote in elections, this information is public information. you can get the name, the address, the date of birth of the individual. all you have to do is spoil it, the commission sent a letter. if they were to foil the information, they would get the information because it is available publicly. >> jon: we have on screen right now a map of the states that have so far rebuffed this request, they run the gamut from

very liberal oregon and california, to iowa and some of the states in the deep south. >> here is the point, a little bit of a disagreement there. i think the courts are going to potentially -- if you can get this data from some other place that is probably available, then get it. but don't ask state officials to release private data, that is the difference here. if there is a less intrusive way to do it, you should go ahead and go out and find those public records. but some of that data, all of that -- social security numbers, military numbers. >> the basic information, i can determine whether the jane doe is iowa or the dando is the same in missouri. new york state has a board of elections, not the secretary of state of new york. it's just a matter of reformatting the information. but the information is publicly

available. >> jon: here is where some of these concerns may have started in the trump administration, in late november after he had won the election, he tweeted this... is there evidence of that? >> there is no evidence of that, it is a completely up substantiated claim. clearly nobody wants voter fraud but this is something that has been left to the states, there are state courts to resolve this. of the federal government getting itself involved without any evidence at all, one of the biggest problems with all due respect is before you go out and launch these policies, like the first travel ban order, you should bring the people around the table who were going be affected, explained the context for it and maybe these things wouldn't be happening in the way that they are. >> jon: richard, i'd love to get you in but we are running out of time. appreciate it.

say -- he reiterated the company plans to sell 1 million electrics and hybrids by 2025. volvo announced plans to launch five new electric hybrid vehicles between 2019 and 2025. the irony of the announcement is that it comes at a time when gas prices in the u.s. have hit a 12 year low. some now say that automakers are making the calculation that ever strict emissions regulations will soon make it more cost-effective to produce hybrids rather than gas-fired cars. volvo is owned by chinese investment firm after it was sold by ford. underneath the chinese, the company prospered.

speculation is high that volvo will attempt to run a public stock offering and that the strategy announced today could make it more popular with investors. molly, back to you. >> molly: absolutely fascinating, can't wait to see where things go. >> jon: talk about a 100-megawatt smile, check out this panda getting comfortable across the countryside while bringing clean energy to the masses in our final 30, next. managing blood sugar is not a marathon.
