in jellyfish. in clinical trials, prevagen has been shown to improve short-term memory. prevagen. the name to remember. >> thanks for joining us. "america's news hq" starts now. >> harris: after holding a join news conference with the president of france, our president and first lady are headed to the next official event, a social one. you're watching "america's news hq." i'm harris walker. president trump and france's president macron talked about terrorism and trade. from that meeting they went to that joint news conference which you watched on fox news channel just wrap up. one topic, not a huge surprise for our president, the controversy surrounding donald trump jr.'s meeting with a russian attorney during the

presidential campaign. >> i have a son who is a great young man. commuting with a lawyer from russia. it lasted for a very short period. nothing came of the meeting. i think it's a meeting that most people in politics probably would have taken. >> harris: chief white house correspondent john roberts is traveling with the president in paris. john? >> reporter: and it was interesting to see, harris, today, despite all of the observations so far that president trump and president macron likely wouldn't have a good relationship. this is a lot of the pundits here in the united states and europe. the two have gotten off on a good footing and the both genuinely look like they're looking forward to having dinner tonight on the second floor of the eiffel tower. they talked about a number of items when they were in their bilateral meeting, from trade to climate change. of course, when it came to the press conference, the first question to president trump was about this new fire storm surounding his son donald trump

jr. made more important for the fact that charles grassley, senator from iowa, said he is sending a letter from donald trump jr. asking him to come to capitol hill and testify before the senate. then there was an exchange yesterday between lindsey graham and christopher wray, president trump's nominee for the fbi when lindsey graham said well if somebody was to get an offer of a meeting like that, should they have brought it to the attention of the fbi to which christopher wray replied in the affirmative. then president trump said it was somehow the it was the obama aoegs fault that the e russian was there. >> the lawyer that went to the meeting, i think she was in the halls of congress also. somebody said that her visa or her passport to come into the country was approved by attorney general lynch. now, maybe that's wrong. i just heard that a little while

ago. i was surprised to hear that. she was here because of lynch. so, again, i have a son who is a great young man, he's a fine person. took a meeting with a lawyer from russia. it lasted for a very short period. and nothing came of the meeting. and i think it's a meeting that most people in politics probably would have taken. >> reporter: and the president suggesting that the press was blowing this out of proportion. there is reporting on how she got into the country. we have not been able to confirm with the u.s. department of justice. we have reached out to them. but the reporting indicates that she was allowed into the country between 2015 and 2016 under special circumstances. and yet she stayed in the country longer than apparently the department of justice had allowed her to. so we're trying to run all of that down for you. the president also talked with president macron about climate change. before he was elected, president

macron made no secret that he thought it was a mistake for the u.s. to pull out of the paris climate accord. today he said he discussed it with president trump and was hopeful that something might change, a notion that president trump went part way to confirm it. watch here. >> with respect to the paris accord, we'll see what happens. but we will talk about that over the coming period of time and if it happen, that will be wonderful. if it doesn't, that will be okay, too. >> reporter: now, president trump did single back at the beginning of june that he intended to pull the united states out of the paris accord. but that could also be a negotiating tactic to try to get a bigger deal, though some people say you can open it up and retphoerb it. you're either in or out. we'll see where it goes. >> harris: you are looking at president trump who has done some things that people said couldn't be done. we'll see about that. john robert, thank you.

a high stakes bid for conservative support as senate republicans reveal their new healthcare plan. it has been a busy day with regard to this issue. the revised version released today containing a controversial proposal from senator ted cruz. he's not the only republican that plans to improve that bill and win some support. peter ducey is live on capitol hill. did they move the needle at all toward what they need to get everybody on board? >> reporter: not right away they didn't, harris. we have been out here trying to catch senators. we haven't been able to find anyone on the fence. heard the pitch from gop leaders and then decided they would like to back it in its current version. lot of senators are telling us they have a lot of reading to do and some others are even joking ab the stand still. did tempers flair? any of the republicans get really upset? >> there were three fist fights and one chair broken. >> reporter: do you think now there will finally be a vote, or at least a vote to take this

thing to the floor? >> we have a lot of information to sort through. a lot of members will be discussing various amendments. we want to continually improve. >> reporter: are you willing to vote to proceed? >> no, i'm still digesting it. >> reporter: just a few minutes ago susan collins said right now she wouldn't vote to bring this bill to the floor either. it doesn't look like it even has the votes to go to the senate floor. at least one of the conservatives who stopped the bill last time from going to the bill said he's happy. that's senator ted cruz. that's because some of the language he wrote to lower premiums made it into the latest version. >> i'm encouraged. i think we're making positive steps. it was a big deal that the senate draft now includes the consumer freedom amendment. the amendment that my office drafted. it's focused on getting you the consumer the power to choose

what health insurance you want. >> reporter: trying to bring conservatives like senator cruz on board may have cost leaders some more moderate vote, at least for now. harris. >> harris: peter ducey, thank you very much for keying this up for us. a number of republican senators maintain that this bill is not the way to do it. >> when you're keeping half the taxes, most of the regulation and creating a brand new insurance bailout superfund, that to most people doesn't look like repeal. i will vote against the motion to proceed. >> harris: bringing in luther strange. sir, thanks for being with us today. you've had a lot of action today. you've had revisions. you have the consumer freedom amendment. a short time ago we got the news release from senator graham's office that he's now come up with an obama replacement plan. what is working to get you closer to where you need to be?

>> well, i think it's a cooperative attitude. i really compliment senator cruz. i strongly support that. i like some of the things that i'm seeing. i like the savings accounts, use of funds there. i like the fact that we're looking out for states like mine, alabama, have used innovation in progressive ways of dealing with the medicade population. they're being rewarded for that creativity. i come away today optimistic that we're making progress. >> harris: how do you feel about senator rand paul throwing down the gauntlet today? and really yesterday, too, with this it's not repeal. he's not going to go for it. you need everybody. we haven't even gotten to the vote on whrorpb you can even debate it. are you concerned that you're losing some in your own party? >> i'm not sure that we were counting on senator paul. i respect him very much. i think he has a lot of great ideas. but in the situation we're in now, we've got to make progress

i think better is good. we have to improve on a disastrous system. i'm optimistic. >> harris: you've got senator susan collins, lisa murkowski of alaska. you have holdouts over the issue of medicade. as i understand it, senator graham's plan would want to put some money from obamacare or all of that back into the states. that would be one way that you would maybe answer to these people who have concerns. how are you gonna get them on board? >> i think we just have to keep working. they have situations in their state. they expanded their medicade program to take in people who are eligible to work, able bodied people. alabama didn't go that route, so we have to reconcile those things. but we're talking now. i think the attitude of getting it is starting to sink in here. i really do feel that way. >> harris: do you know what's interesting? i hear you saying this and others as well. that the differences that you're talking.

were you not speaking before? what is the tone up on the hill? >> well, i think there was a lot of speaking, but i'm not sure there was a lot of listening. this is the process. what i'm hoping we will do is get on the bill and have amendments on the bill from all sectors to make their case and we'll get relief to the american people. again, i think we just started that process today. i'm optimistic. >> harris: this is something else that's developing today. the congressional bug office said it needs more information. that's the scoring device to make all of this work, i would assume. representative jim jordan of ohio said there should be some hearings on the cbo when you don't take your whole august recess. what are your thoughts? there's argument that the cbo doesn't count as much as it should. what's the deal? >> well, i think the cbo can be more responsive. i think they can move quicker. that's what happens in the private sector. i'm new to washington. we need answers quickly. i think we need accurate up to date data lines to work from.

we're using, for example, on our bill here, data from a year and a half ago, which is not accurate. it does not give you a fair picture and makes it hard for us to get our message out. we've got to work with what we've got at the moment. >> harris: senator, there are some people that are upset, angry. you've seen them at the town hall. some are bipartisan just angst over what's going to happen with healthcare. what do you say to them right now? >> i tell them to not buy into the fear mongering that i see being put out from the other side. i hate to see that because if people feel they will be thrown off the rolls, that's just not the case. so we have to get the truth out there. it's not easy, but i try to reassure them that we hear them and we'll do what's necessary to take care of them, the most vulnerable in our society. >> harris: people need to hear it. senator strange from the great state of alabama, thank you. >> thank you. >> harris: welsh should the house take a cue from the senate

and delay its august recess, too? do those lawmakers want to face their constituents early or later? we'll ask virginia congressman david bratt about that. and the justice department is taking action on the opioid crisis in what's being called the biggest crackdown on healthcare fraud. the numbers are staggering. stay close. with hydrogenated oil...

...but real joyful moments are shared over the real cream in reddi-wip. ♪ reddi-wip. share the joy.

yeah, 'cause i got allstate. if you total your new bike, they replace it with a brand new one. that's cool. i got a new helmet. we know steve. switching to allstate is worth it. >> harris: the justice department is charging more than 400 people in a crackdown on healthcare fraud. the total $1.3 billion. attorney general jeff sessions and hhs secretary tom price announced that operation today. they said many of the suspects are doctors, nurses and pharmacists who were illegally dealing opioids. authorities making arrests in more than 30 states. wow.

half the country. andrew mccabe said some doctors were writing more prescriptions than entire hospitals. the senate is delaying its august recess in part to work on issues like tax reform and budgeting, maybe health care, depending on what they can get done next week. now there are calls for the house to follow suit. there's another battle brewing over the budget. latest government analysis estimates president trump's budget would cut the deficit by $3.3 trillion over the next decade. he's going to need some help from congress. congressman bratt is one of those people who would help out if needed. good to see you, sir. >> thanks, harris. >> harris: first let's talk about something we haven't. we covered healthcare this hour. i want to talk about the budget, the significance of that number $3.3 trillion and where you are. >> yeah. the budget, we just agree on the top line number and the freedom caucus said we're flexible on that piece. but what we're not flexible on

is we need to have the senate get a health care bill through. there's a trillion dollars riding on that one. then on the house side, our leadership needs to tell us where we're heading on the border adjustable tax reform. that's an additional trillion. then we budgeted 50 billion for defense, 50 billion for nondefense over and approve the trump budget so that is another trillion. until we have those three trillion dollar pieces lined up, you can't do a budget. then there's a bottle neck because you want to do healthcare first. then to do a budget, you kind of want to know where you'll be on the debt ceiling increase. then what does our tax package look like. if we don't lower tax rates for corporations so they can be competitive and raise wage rates for the average person back home and put some money back in their pockets and find out kids out of high school some jobs. that's what everybody's waiting for. but if you got a $3 trillion problem, can you lower rates enough to get the economy

booming? that's the problem we're working on. that's why it's worth while. we need to stay in over recess until we solve that bottle neck problem. >> harris: look at that, you just tied everything together. you brought it full circle. you made the argument for staying in. >> yes. >> harris: why are there some in your party that may not want to stay in for august recess and give some back and work for the american people? >> some people think we work three days a year. it's actually a pretty tough job. i got my family standing off to the side. they have to come up and see me once a week. so that's the reason. we want to get back for at least a week to see our family and have one week vacation a year would be nice. we don't need five weeks to do that. we can get the results done. if you put the heat on us and say you're not going home to your family until you solve these problems. you need to solve the healthcare problem and the tax piece problem. and then we can go home an see

our families again. >> harris: congressman bratt, i was reading today skwrorpb tkpwaerpb historically was a house speaker before he was fdr's vice president. he said no good legislation ever comes out of washington after june. sounds like you want to prove him and some others wrong. let's talk a little bit now before i let you go with what happens if you guys think that you can stay a little bit longer in august. what is your first priority? the senate is going to be working on healthcare next week and then what? what would you stay for specifically? >> well, that's it. the senate has to do the health care piece first. president trump will put the pressure on there. he's the spark plug. he'll get it done. and we'll probably get a bill out of there. then we got to write up our tax reform and make it public. i want 800,000 people. it's not about a few deciding what tax policy is. you have to listen to the folks back home, what do they want? we're not competitive with the rest of the world. we have the highest corporate

rate in the world. the reason people back home are cranky, rightly so on the politic, the anxiety and the negative stuff out there is because wages have been flat for 40 years. wages are flat because productivity has been flat to zero for 40 years. so we need to incentivize business again. we need to, like president trump is the consummate business guy. we need to say, hey, business is a morally good thing. let's get everybody excited. let's do welfare to work. >> harris: that's a lot. >> right. we've got to make this happen. people have just hreflt the labor force altogether. we want everybody working, everybody paying taxes, then we can be the generous american people we have always been. we've got a lot of work to do. >> harris: sounds like you will need to get back some of that august recess. we'll see if your fellow lawmakers are on board with you. representative bratt, my best to your family that loaned you to

us for a few minutes. god bless you guys. thank you. >> they love you, harris. >> harris: thanks. we are learning more about the russian attorney at the center of the donald trump jr. e-mail scandal. why she was let into the country without a visa. and after some very public differences, president trump and macron of france holding a very cordial news conference. we'll break it down, the big questions they face. and what they are doing to work toward a middle ground. stay with us.

it is a discretionary authority that allows for the temporary entry on a case to case business for ur general humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit. in this case it would have been her defense of a russian firm in new york state. democrats emphasized to fox they believe this issue of the visa is overblown. five days after the trump tower meeting in june of last year with donald trump jr., jared kushner and paul manafort she came to capitol hill where she could be seen as a house foreign affairs hearing on russia. it seems she came in here for one reason but pursued other interests. >> harris: why would congress be interested? >> reporter: the committee ran by grassley and senator feinstein, they're holding a meeting on the foreign agents registration act. that's lobbying on behalf of foreign governments with officials inside this country. one of the witnesses had direct contact with the russian lawyer

and as part of her campaign to get some american legislation repealed, he said she hired a firm with connections now is a really interesting turn of events with unverified anti-trump dossier. >> they took on a number of lobbyists, public relations people and others, and one of the firms they took on as part of this campaign that they repealed was a firm in washington, d.c. called fusion gps. >> reporter: former british intelligence officer christopher skill. we talk about it in our reporting as the dossier. fusion gps which has resisted calls to go to capitol hill, will be testifying as well next week. so it's an interesting set of connections. what that means exactly is not clear. >> harris: that's the same dossier basically the same dossier everybody talked about. >> reporter: i think what our

viewers will probably remember is back in march of this year the ranking democrat on the house intelligence committee read huge sections of the dossier into the record about pal manafort, carter paige and others based on our reporting, those individuals directly, they have refused the dossier. lot of that material was found not to be reliable. one last point, my colleague pamela brown spoke with another british intelligence officer who was involved and he said he always felt the information had to be independently verified before it was deemed credible. so anyway, lot of connections. we may know more next week about how it all comes together or doesn't come together in this case. >> harris: wow. katherine, thank you very much. secretary of state rex tillerson is trying his hand at what they call shuttle diplomacy to try to mend some rifts between some of our closest middle east allies. we're moments away from the

>> harris: fox has learned as the state department is getting ready to hold a briefing, the secretary of state rex tiller son is making his way back to the united states from a four day trip to the middle east. with little to show we're told. here's what's at stake for his efforts to settle a dispute between katar and its gulf arab

nations. a block has completely severed ties over allegations of state funded terrorism. rich edson joins us live from the state department. this is a key one to watch. not all of their hands are clean. >> reporter: when you look at what the secretary of state has been doing, he has been traveling to both sides of this conflict. to qatar, saudi arabia, back to qatar, kuwait. that's a country trying to mediate this conflict. secretary of state has said little about his progress or lack there of over the past week warning only that before this trip, it could drag on for months this crisis. saudi arabia, uae, egypt, claiming that government supports terrorism. these are all key u.s. security allies and one analyst said the u.s. must help resolve this crisis. it >>'s very good news that the american secretary of state has decided to get involved in this crisis. kuwait might be okay as a

mediator, but nobody in this region has the kind of credibility, power and relationships with all of the parties that the united states has. >> reporter: he says this crisis also affects gulf unity in trying to combat what would be iran influenced in that region. when you look at what the secretary of state has to do, particularly what it per taeupbs to iran, the trump administration must certify whether it is going to say that iran is in compliance with a nuclear agreement that the obama administration signed a couple years ago. state department official said the trump administration is still conducting its review of its iran policy and in a statement asked, quote, once we have finalized our conclusions, we will meet the challenges iran poses with clarity and convict shrupb. the trump administration has made clear that we will adhere to the jcpoa or the iran nuclear deal and will ensure that iran is held strictly accountable to its requirements. during the campaign, president trump promised that he would rip

up that agreement that the administration now continues its review. >> harris: that's interesting. all right. rich. thank you very much. president trump fielding tough questions during a joint news conference with france president macron. one reporter confronted him where he called the country a quote disaster. here's the president's response. >> you have a great leader now. you have a great president. you have a tough president. he's not going to be easy on people that are breaking the laws and people that have shown tremendous violence. so i really have a feeling that you're going to have a very, very peaceful and beautiful paris. and i'm coming back. you better do a good job, please. otherwise you're going to make me look very bad. >> you're always welcome. >> harris: there was a lot of love in the room. let's bring in guy benson fox news contributor and political editor for town hall.com and

simon rosenberg, president and founder of ndn and a former clinton campaign adviser. gentlemen, thank you for being here. you know, guy, the president made the comments about france. they've had a tough time with terror. it was around the time where they had been hit by terrorism. sometimes it's tough to go someplace and say those same things. however, you could also kaeult a journey. i want to get your thoughts on how the president did today. >> he was being diplomatic in france. and this was a very chummy meeting. i think it's good. it seems clear that president macron is cultivating a personal relationship with trump. there are some strong shared interests between these two countries. i think macron is true to do what he is doing. our president is absolutely right to welcome it. i thought it was worth while that both presidents noted for the record that this is an alliance that goes back, the

oldest alliance in u.s. history, stretching back to the days of lafayette, america's fighting french men. lot of love, as you said, at those podiums today. >> harris: you know, we were put in a tough position today. i want to talk about another topic now with qatar and those four arab states with you, si n simon. we were nut a tough position because there's not a lot that i'm sure rex tiller son found that he can do about that iran agreement. we still don't know what was in side deals made under the last president. where do you think we stand with those? >> well, i think this has everything to do with today and something that happened several years ago. >> harris: you mean the iran agreement? >> that's not relevant to what's happening with qatar and saudi arabia. the point is, i want to applaud rex tillerson for rolling up his sleeves and going abroad, trying to bring this to a resolution. this is a very dangerous thing for the united states, as you mentioned in your earlier comments. we have many important military

bases in these countries. if qatar we are leading the fight of isis out of that country. i'm pleased to see secretary tillerson there. i just want to praise trump for a second, if i can. i don't get to do that aufp on the air. what's important about this trip, building off what guy said, and france. there were huge doubts about donald trump in europe. i think this trip, if he can continue the smiles and the happiness, will go a long way to sort of helping us find a better path between the united states and europe which has been off to a very rocky start over the past few months. >> harris: will it get you to stop talking about russia until there's evidence, if there is stphe >> is that a question for me? >> harris: yeah. >> i think there is a lot of evidence. they attacked our country in 2016. there are large investigations going on. >> harris: with regard to the trump campaign is what i'm talking about. >> there's a lot we have to know. i am for one, what i said on the air on fox many times. i just want robert mueller to allow that investigation to go

forward, wherever the chips fall, let the chips fall where they may. i don't know what happened. certainly, i think we want to know more. what we do know is russia is an adversary to the united states. they attacked our country. the president, in my mind, has appeased them and looked the other way, which is the main reason the europeans are worried about his presidency. >> harris: i wanted to get that in there while you were giving the president praise. guy, i want you to pick it up from there, maybe your thoughts on where we are. then we'll move on from russia. >> i think it is wise to wait and see what the mueller special investigation comes up with. there have been significant developments in the last few days involving e-mails and donald trump jr. and a real discrepancy with what he and top administration officials have been saying about meetings with russians versus what we now know. but there are people on both ends of this thing now jumping to the conclusions that they already had, which was oh my

gosh this is terrible, this is clear collusion, probably illegal, definitely impeachable. and then on the other hand, it's just a witch hunt. i don't think we know enough to say either of those things yet. >> harris: all right. real quickly, we saw some new and fresh perspective on healthcare. even this hour yesterday, too. senator strange of alabama and congressman bratt both showing optimism that there can be movement now in the negotiation to get to where they need to be on healthcare and to repeal and replace or change obamacare. last word from you, simon. >> well, we know two senators have already said no, so this thing is on life support. we'll see what happens. i know senator mcconnell's worked very, very hard. we just don't know. it's more likely than not that this thing crashes in the next few days. >> harris: guy? >> it would be indefensible for any republican senator to block at least a vote to move forward to debate amendments.

this is something republicans have promised for seven year. to use a procedural maneuver to even get to the final debate and up or down i think that is really something that would show political cowardess and every single republican senator needs to feel the heat on that. >> harris: senator strange said what's changed is now there's talking, but now there's listening. we'll report the news as it happens. thank you. verizon doing some major damage control, after millions of customers' personal data were exposed. what cyber security experts are saying went very wrong. and one set of remains found in a mass grave have now been identified in the search for four missing men. who the victim was and what's next for man police are calling a person of interest.

battle the opioid epidemic, and the ability to buy cheaper plans with less coverage for those who want it, while conservatives hope will bring down premium costs. maine senator susan collins doesn't want to allow mitch mcconnell to even bring the bill to the floor, tweeting a short time ago, quote, still deep cuts to medicade in senate bill. will vote no on mtp, the motion to proceed. ready to work with gop and dem colleagues to fix flaws in the affordable care act. that makes it impossible to update, improve, revise the bill, if you don't even allow the majority leader to bring it to the floor. after having some healthcare struggles of his own, house speaker paul ryan said he's staying out of it. >> as tempting as it is to comment on a sense deliberations are in process, i want to give them the space to get their job done. we have a promise to keep. we kept that promise in the house. >> reporter: ryan's counter part took this swipe at the updated

bill. >> this senate bill now that is circulating does even deeper damage to americans with medicade. president has called the house bill mean. this is even meaner. republicans will do all of this to damage seniors, children and working families just to hand tax breaks to the richest. >> reporter: one to watch, ohio senator rob portman who said he is undecided on the motion to proceed. if portman decides he's a no on that procedural vote, then the senate is stuck again. harris? >> harris: wow. i mean, you've heard it a couple days in a row. we've had lawmakers saying, nope, they're going to get beyond this point. we'll watch it as it happens. one of the four missing men now confirmed dead. he was 19 years old. his remains were identified after they were found in a mass grave. investigators say they're working to identify other remains discovered on this pennsylvania farm. a person of interest is now in custody and could face serious

criminal charges. rick levinthal is live for us in pennsylvania. rick? >> reporter: harris, those charges could obviously include murder as the recovery of evidence of human remains on those 90 achers of farm land. investigators have been predicting all week that they would find something significant there. in part i'm told because of the behavior of the cadaver dogs. they acted and reacted so strikingly when they were on that property. that led investigators to believe, in fact, human remains were there. that is what they have found on that property as the search continues for some days of careful painstaking digging on that farm land. the fbi response team joining local police in excavating the property. some 12.5 feet below ground finding the remains of dean finocchiaro, one of the four missing to be identified. the authorities working to id the other remains in that mass grave that could include those other three missing men,

19-year-old jim patrick, mark sturgis and tom meo. the da reminded us how difficult the working conditions there are. >> they're tenderly, painstaking ly recovering the remains of people that they do not even know, that they never even met. they don't do this for glory or recognition. they do it because it's their job. >> reporter: there is one person of interest who has been named in this case, he is 20-year-old cosmo dinardo. his parents own the farm where the bodies were buried. he was ar refed yesterday on charges of auto theft. he tried to sell a car belonging to one of the missing men for $500, just a couple days after that man vanished. he is now being held on a $5 million cash bail, harris, as authorities continue to try and

gather evidence and perhaps tie him to those missing men. >> harris: what a vie len trail you are on there. iraqi forces released video of isis militants surrendering in the retaking of mosul. don't miss it. that's why you drink ensure. with 9 grams of protein, and 26 vitamins and minerals... best one ever! for the strength and energy, to get back to doing what you love. ensure, always be you. for over 100 yearsaking like kraft has,al cheese you learn a lot about people's tastes. honey, what do you want for dinner tonight? oh whatever you're making. triple cheddar stuffed sliders. sold! four seconds on the clock, championship on the line. erin "the sharpshooter" shanahan fakes left. she's outside of the key, she shoots... ...she scores! uh... yes, erin, it is great time to score a deal. we need to make room for the 2018 models.

>> harris: fighting in mosul iraq despite iraq's announcement of victory this week. here video released by iraqi security forces showing the islamic state savages, those fighters surrounded in mosul's city. lucas tomlinson is live for us at the pentagon. so they are surrendering there, but yet the fight goes on. >> that's right, harris. a top u.s. commander said there's up to 200 isis fighters remaining in mosul as u.s. air strikes continue there. chairman of the house armed services committee said the decision to put u.s. forces

closer to the fight has led to success. >> rather than stay back at a headquarters and just tell them what to do, we're going up through the lines, showing them more what to do. now that increases in danger to our people, but we have seen how much more effective the iraqis and other allies are in fighting isis in this way. >> reporter: two large iraqi cities, each with more than 100,000 people, as well as large portions of western anbar province along the border with syria, remain under isis control. there are more than 1 million displaced residents in mosul, most of the bridges and roads remain destroyed. bombs remain hidden. the head of the u.n.'s world food program said these people must be taken care of. >> if a family can't feed their children after two or three weeks, they'll turn to any available resource they can, and that usually is extremism. if you want to spend another half trillion dollars on military operations, cut the

world food program because we're the first line of offense and defense on the ground against extremism and terrorism. >> reporter: beasley would also like to see saudi arabia and other gulf states contribute more to the humanitarian mission in the northeast. >> harris: you sound like a broken record on that issue. we've been talking about why they are not giving money to help take care of some of these people who are refugees. it's a great question. lucas, thank you very much. we'll be right back.
