>> bill: has an interesting way, and sports does anyway, but a great win. that is the secret, apparently. you are on "outnumbered." >> sandra: and then i will be back tomorrow. >> bill: busy day, "happening now" starts right now. have a great monday, everybody! ♪ >> jon: on this monday, the secret service weighs in on the controversy over donald trump, jr., and his meeting with the russian lawyer. the russian lawyer trying to refocus his agenda, good morning to you. i am jon scott. >> and i am heather childers. nice to be with you. you are back from vacation. >> jon: let's see if i remember how to do this. >> heather: president trump back in the white house with a jampacked schedule, and that includes the launch of made in america, which spotlights american workers and manufacturers. this coming as the president's legal team was out in full force

defending donald trump, jr., on sunday. seeing that there was nothing illegal about the meeting that he held with the russian lawyer during the presidential campaign. now the secret service is getting involved. >> jon: kristin fisher live at the white house for us. the secret service stays away from issues like this, why is it weighing in now? >> over the weekend, the president's personal attorney seemed to try to shift the blame from the secret service by saying that if these russians were really so questionable, then why did the secret service not properly fed them and keep the meeting from taking place? here's a clip. >> well, i wonder why the secret service official is nefarious, why did they allow these people end? the president had secret service protection at that point. that raises questions. >> the problem with that logic, then candidate trump had secret service production, but his son did not. the secret service says

"donald trump, jr., was not a protest t of the secret service in june 2016, when the meeting took place, thus, we would not have screened anybody that he was meeting at that time." meanwhile the president only meant president is defending his son to get dirt from hillary clinton according to the emails that russia and its government support of mr. trump. about an hour ago he said most politicians would have gone to a meeting like the one that donald trump, jr., attended to get the opponent, politics. but critics argue that getting info from an opponent like russia, one of the u.s. greatest adversaries really crosses a line. in one of the biggest questions from here is not necessarily of what's happened to donald trump donald trump, jr., who is not officially a part of the white house, but what happens to jared kushner who was at that meeting and does work at the white house and it does have a top-secret security clearance?

>> jon: and this "made in america" week, what the white house wants to message this week despite the controversy. >> what we will see as a showcase inside the white house and on the south lawn featuring products from almost all 50 states, made in america. that is the big theme. and the goal according to the white house is to really highlight how the president's efforts to rollback regulations and perform the tax code would help u.s. companies manufacture more products right here in the u.s. but the problem of course is before the white house can fully focus tax or form, they first have to get through health care, as we just saw over the weekend, that effort just took another big hit. because senator john mccain is going to be out for at least a week. the senate majority leader delaying the vote. >> jon: we will be talking about that as well. kristin fisher at the white house, thank you. ♪

so is kristen just mentioned, the senate health care bill is on hold with mitch mcconnell delaying action on the measure until senator john mccain can recover from surgery to remove a blood clot near his eye. senator mccain's boat very much needed, because republicans can only afford to lose two of their number. meanwhile, the congressional budget office announced a delay in the new score on the new bill. but tom price, the health and human services secretary says that this plan is definitely better than obamacare. >> the fact that the federal government came in eight years ago, seven years ago and said this is what you have to purchase. that's what we are trying to get away from. when the government says, this is what you have to purchase of necessity, including or may include more than you want or does not include what you want. so what we want is patients and families and doctors to be making the decisions, not the federal government, not the insurance companies.

>> jon: joining us now, bret baier, the anchor of "special report," timing is everything in politics. for them standpoint of the republicans, you want to get obamacare repealed and replaced, john mccain's absence from the senate could not be worse. >> that's right, good morning. i think the delay is obviously a sign that they need john mccain's vote. and there are no two ways about it. this will come down to just one, maybe two votes, but to have two republican senators who have already said that they are voting against the health care bill no matter what. you have others who have concerns. the two are rand paul and susan collins. so they are counting heads here. and though the delay will raise questions about where the support lies. one of the things that you have not heard a lot about is that there are only two definite

"nos" not 12 as you had before in the first senate g.o.p. bill. while there are some on the fence, there are indications that mitch mcconnell is working behind the scenes to get these votes over the finish line. so i think when senate democrats say, don't count out the senate majority leader, i think that that is probably a wise move. as you get closer to an actual vote after the one we could delay. >> jon: we had up there on the screen, maybe we will put them up there again the names and faces of those wavering g.o.p. senators, dean heller of nevada, nebraska, and rob portman of ohio, west virginia, and senator john hoven of north dakota. they all had some questions about this, but as you said, they are not definite "nos" ." >> writes coming out at least some of them used to be. supporters of the bill are

trying to make it a binary choice. is it better than obamacare currently? is it a better change, can republicans go back and say, we changed for the better? and we can continue to evolve its, but we did it without any democratic support. and then turn it around and say, we are fixing health care. the cbo number, it depends on how you view the cbo, kind of the congressional budget office, the calculator that puts in the numbers that you put in, affecting the numbers that you take out. but that score will be important to making the case about the binary choice, better than obamacare currently? >> jon: observers of the senate say were john mccain out, the longer that this sort of sits out there and festers, the less likely it is to pass. is that your assessment as well? >> i don't know if that is the case or not. there is pressure from trump

supporters and republicans who really feel that they want to get to tax reform. you have donors out there that say, we need to see a w pretty soon, otherwise we are going to pull money away from elections to come in 2018. that is motivated for some, and i think that the politics behind this is still up in the air. still uphill, to pass this if you are looking at it playing the numbers as senator mcconnell does. >> jon: a big boulder to push, that is for sure. what about senator ted cruz proposal that would allow states to individually opt out of or at least offer policies, insurance policies that would allow buyers to opt out of some of the more onerous restrictions of obamacare? >> i think that there are elements of data that are probably going to be appealing, especially for state governors to have a little bit more

autonomy. there is also the lindsey graham and senator cassidy proposal about block granting more to make the state's decision. as you get to the votes, and the voting on amendments, i think you are going to see what is appealing and what is not very quickly. >> jon: so, again with senator mccain out at this point, nobody knows when he might be returning to the senate. so there will be no vote scheduled until he is healthy enough to come back to washington and cast his vote. >> that's right. that is a real question. listening to dr. marc siegel earlier, it is optimistically one week, but you do not know. you don't know what you do not know about recovery from a surgery like that. >> jon: especially when one has experienced a blood clot, doctors do not like putting you on an airplane right away. with the senator in arizona right now -- >> the train from arizona is a long time.

>> jon: bret baier, good to talk to you. we will see you tonight. >> heather: fox news alert now on the deadly flash flooding that we have been following in central arizona, the national forest. at least nine people died over the weekend when floods hit the cold springs swimming pool. four people were rescued, and crews are still searching for a 13-year-old boy who was missing. alicia joining us now with more, understanding that one of those who died was a 2-year-old child? >> yes, the youngest was two, the oldest was 60 years old. and that the young teenage boy who was swept away from his family, he was part of a group of people that had calmed up for a day trip out of flagstaff. and this is a draw for folks, especially in summer when they had to the cold springs swimming hole to cool off or hike. it was in a narrow part of the canyon where the group of family and friends by the river,

relatively calm at the time when the 6-foot wall of water filled with debris and tree branches came tearing through the canyon and swept them away. some as far as 2 miles downstream. nine of the people were killed. five of them were children. alexander shot this cell phone video. she said she saw a man clinging to a tree holding a baby when she tried to help. >> i tried to put a branch out to see if we could try to rescue him. and people were yelling and saying, get out of the water. so we ended up falling back to coming into god's child, we were not sure if there was more water coming down, and they were saying that rescuers were on their way down. >> now arizona's monsoons can be particularly dangerous part in this instance it was not even raining when they were enjoying the day. 8 miles upstream, but the national services it dumped about an inch and a half of rain within an hour. if the sheriffs office says that the victims likely had no

warning. >> with there was probably no way that they heard that there was a flash flood warning, there was no cell phone service, and you are probably not going to get too many radio stations down there either. >> heather, the 13-year-old boy, the search for him resume this morning. today they are using helicopters in addition to specially trained dogs. >> heather: they called it up black wave, said it was about 4t through. thank you so much. >> jon: what a sad story. one law maker pivotal to the republican effort to pass a health care bill became the target of vandals, why somebody trashed senator dean heller's home office, and south korea reaching out to their neighbors of the north, hoping to begin talks that could defuse tensions. and possibly reunite some families, separated. .

♪ >> jon: nevada republican senator dean heller's las vegas office was broken into over the weekend. a threatening note was left behind by the intruder or intruders, according to a local police or spread senator has been in the public eye of late as one of the republican voices of concern with the health care bill, now making its way through the senate. las vegas police have confirmed that the break-in took place, but not sharing any details about the contents of that note. >> heather: despite the nuclear threat, south korea is extending an olive branch to their neighbor and then north. proposing talks to end hostility along the border and to resume family reunions. while it is still unclear if kim jong-un will agree to open a dialogue, many world leaders support the idea of finding a diplomatic solution. >> our position is clear, we

trust the leadership and the ownership of the republic of korea in this process. we are standing neck staying in close contact with our friends,e administering what more we could do to facilitate a solution that is diplomatic and political. looking for a situation for the situation in the korean pool in lament peninsula. >> heather: let's bring in stephen bucci, the secretary of defense, thank you for joining us, first of all. >> it is good for being here. think of for having me. >> heather: anybody who has followed the new korean president, no secret that he has open a dialogue with north korea, mentioned of being in favor of what is regarded to as a sunshine policy. cooperation with north korea, then you have president trump, as far as north korea is

concerned, it may take longer than he would like. it may take longer than we would like, but to their will be success in the end. one way or the other. so does this suggestion by south korea's president to have this meeting or open dialogue run counter productive to u.s. policy? how does it work, does that work together? >> it obviously works together. south koreans are our ally to lament ally, and a sovereign nation. they have rights to open up talks to their neighbor, it would be wise if they coordinated with the united states because the north koreans have proven to be a totally unreliable negotiating partner in the past. so i would caution optimism were not too much optimism on the part of the republic of korea. but we certainly support a negotiated settlement, but we need to watch and be prepared for anything. >> heather: on that note, two sides that we mentioned at the beginning of the segment, the effort to end any type of

hostile activities happening at the border between south korea and north korea, and the effort to resume the family reunions between north korea and south korea as a result of the korean war. let's take the first part of that, from what i understand north korea has said is a condition for that, ending any hostilities at the border that the u.s., the u.s. military drills be halted and stopped, is that a possibility? >> that is not a possibility. those exercises are the rights of south korea and the rights of the united states as national security partners to do that. it is and unrealistic demands on the part of north korea, and both the south korean government in the u.s. government should never negotiate a way the exercises, or the missile-defense deployments to the north koreans. that is just a nonstarter. >> heather: but hasn't

president moon expressed, or he has questioned at least in part the deployment of the missile defense system? >> he has indeed. that is something that the diplomats in conjunction with south korea, we should spend a lot of effort so that the president moon understands that that's ballistic missile defense technology in all of its components, the fad, the shore, the afloat, the ground-based missile defense, the ground-based interceptors in alaska, with the redesign kill vehicle, all of those components are critical to the protection of both south korea and the united states. they do not provoke the friction between south korea and north korea. they are a key component of keeping it under control. >> heather: why is it? why are they a key component, and explain to us the three phases of the ballistic missile defense system. >> they are a key component

because they deterred north korea from going beyond their testing to actually taking the shot at south korea or the united states territory. you have the boost phase when the enemy missile goes up, we need things in the area in korea to shoot those down. we have the exo- atmospheric phase, like the test we just stayed where we shoot it down out in space, and then we have the reentry phase where we need the same kind of stuff that we have and south korea both in hawaii and to the continental united states to shoot down the missiles that we do not get in space. so we need all three components, part of that is in south korea. we needed altogether. >> heather: waiting for north korea's response to this to see if they are willing to open up these talks. in the meantime, thank you very much for your insight. we appreciate it. >> thank you for having me. >> jon: caring for the veterans outside the va, one has

you look at what the president has been talking about, the president has not been out there using the pulpit. >> it all goes back to the campaign when it became clear in august of 2016 or so that the hillary clinton campaign had cracked the code. they knew how to distract the president and get him off his message, and they have gotten much better at it. this has been planned as a way to stop the president's agenda. as a cynical political operative, i admire their effectiveness. but as a citizen in the united states, i fear for the republic. >> jon: joining us now, judy miller, a pulitzer prize-winning author and reporter, "wall street journal," both of them fox news contributors. so the president says he is being unfairly excoriated in the media, we will get to his tweet on that in a minute. is the media being unfair to him inquiry regarding the russia story and the meeting that his son had? >> no, the media is obsessed,

but understandably in part because of the way that the president in the white house have been handling it. it is drip, drip, drip. shepard smith said the other day, lie after lie after lie. it was the president who helped craft a statement about his son's participation in the meeting, first of all, there was no meeting. there was a meeting, but it was about russian adoption. then there was a meeting in which no information was exchanged, then it turns out that an ex-soviet intelligence officer was there. and that there was some exchange of information. it just gets worse and worse and worse. this is public relations 101. get it out, get it out there early. get the full story out, don't drip, drip, drip. >> jon: let me read one of the president's tweets about this. he wrote...

and then he went on and said. daniel, your take? >> the one big question here is what exactly is the story? i thought originally the story was about russian penetration of our election. and that is actually what makes this a story. look, foreign countries have tried to contact presidential elections in the past. oppositional research happens, we know about this. what made a difference was that the russians were trying to engage themselves in the election. department of homeland security testified that they tried to interfere in at least 20 states. the press decided that that is not the story part of the story is collusion between donald trump and the russians. and since this story began for seven months, there has never been a published story suggesting anything that could legally be called collusion.

so i do think that they way he overplayed it. having said that, i will tell you, i am to the point where i think perhaps the american press and president trump are enjoying the smack down. they are reveling in the fight. they won't let it go. it has become an obsession for both of them. why is the president on sunday morning sending out tweets about a story that obviously is pushing public attention away from his agenda into the press is enjoying it just as well, they get up every morning and say, let's go at it with the president of the united states over the collusion story. >> jon: judy is nodding her head in agreement >> yes, this is the president being his own worst messenger. you want to move away from this story if you are the trump white house, but in fact the president keeps refocusing attention on this story. and we don't even know whether or not there is a there-there. but the special counsel is going to determinant.

>> jon: you get some agreement here at fox over the weekend, he wrote, "damage control is an art. it is one the current administration has not yet mastered. even if you believe the whole russia story is being overblown and pushed by a hostile media, the president and his team have to be able to minimize controversial relations, revelations especially when as in the case of donald trump, jr., they are based on facts those quote. good advice, i guess. >> if there is anything else going on, probably trump administration and the terms should get it out at this point. some of these things, the optics may not be good, but it is more politically controllable now. over time, this snowballs like this over time. whether it is legally wrong, it becomes politically vulnerable, and they let it rise and rise to the point where they may be allowing themselves once the

story develops to do real damage. >> jon: just when the story was starting to die down on friday, eight outcomes nbc with a revelation, oh, yes, an ex-soviet intelligence officer in that meeting as well. >> exactly. >> jon: we have to leave it there. thank you both of you. speak to the bad public relations, bad optics is not illegal. coming up, a key hearing for oj simpson is just days away. could the juice to be a free man? weighing in on this week's parole hearing. plus you danger for people living in a area where a sinkhole has swallowed two homes. what emergency crews are now testing. >> we do not believe that it is safe, engineers are saying that it is not safe. we move the heavy equipment in and out of here with the sinkhole, we do not know where that safe edge is at. whoooo.

memorabilia dealers in a las vegas hotel room a year earlier. joining us now, gregg jarrett, fox news anchor and legal analyst to talk about this. let's get to the bottom line question, to begin with, how likely is it that o.j. will be paroled? >> the prosecutor thinks he has a very good chance. there are more than a dozen factors in the guidelines at the parole board will consider, and things like, has he had any disciplinary problems? does he have a clean record? has he refrain from alcohol, drug abuse, and gang activity behind bars? he should get a pretty good score, although the seriousness of his crimes is a factor, and let's remember, you are talking about aggravated armed robbery, kidnapping, ten other crimes using a gun, those are very, very serious charges. and we will get to this in just

a moment. the aggravating factors, but yes, he would get a good score, but there are other things to consider. speak to that being more serious than that, the acquittal of the double murder charge back in 1995. can that be considered? >> yes, and no. only a conviction can be considered as a factor, and he was acquitted in that particular case. so that does not count against him, although, people forget that he has another conviction which was beating his wife, he ended up getting committed, but that was a prior conviction, nonetheless. the important factor is that there is a catchall phrase in the aggravating factors, let's put that up on the screen. and it basically says that the board may consider other information that concerns the board that the inmates may be a risk to public safety if released on parole. so there is not a limit in

convictions. they can consider the fact that the santa monica her jury found that o.j. simpson brutally killed nicole brown simpson and ronald goldman. and leveled the judgment against him in $8.5 million. so when you think about it, serious crimes of kidnapping, armed robbery, beating his wife, and to the killing of two individuals, these board members could decide, you know what, he poses a risk to society if we release him. >> heather: what about in terms of coming he is not going to be a poor man by any means? >> in fact he has an nfl pension that turns him about $19,000 a month, he has a retirement account that is $2.7 million. none of those can be touched by that judgment against him. the families of nicole brown simpson and ronald goldman, he once had property in florida, that is protected by homestead laws, so now the judgment, by

the way has estimated to more than $50 million, because of the interest. unfortunately, the families will probably never see a dime of it. all of his muddy lament money is judgment proof. speak to you cover the trial for nine months in los angeles predicted the jury get it wrong? >> i have covered hundreds of trials, i have never seen such overwhelming evidence of guilt, yes, the jury got it wrong for a variety of reasons. god his blood walking away from the bodies, you have the victim's blood smeared all over the inside of his car, and the chance that it was somebody else's blood other than simpson simpson's is one and 170 million. so it was absolutely his blood. nicole's blood is on his socks at home. he bought a 12-inch knife six weeks before the murders, and a replica of that matched the exact wounds on the bodies.

nicole had a receipt for the gloves that she bought that were used in it. the list goes on and on. >> heather: if it does not fit, you must acquit -- >> which was a stupid move by chris darden. you don't get somebody to put a glove on top of a latex glove. >> heather: thank you for being here. >> jon: welcome home to a new kind of war hero, an afghan interpreter takes his first steps on american soil after more than a decade fighting for his country and ours. a somber day in the netherlands, marking three years since the national tragedy. we will take you to the unveiling of the national mh 17 memorial in amsterdam. bp uses flir cameras -
