reputations as fighters so this is someone who understands the president and can defend him in the way that he wants to see. but there was a lot of pushback on this decision from white house chief of staff reines

priebus as well as chief strategist steve bannon and press secretary sean spicer none of whom liked the idea of bringing scaramucci on board. but the former hedge fund manager, he was extremely comfortable in his first press briefing yesterday and said one of his goals is to work with the media to help them give the president a more fair shake. today on breitbart radio he also laid out how his team can do a better job in pushing the president's agenda in getting congress to support it. >> i do think that we can improve our messaging in a way where we create ground swells in those districts, and so people in the respective districts both democratic and republican enclaves if we can get the message out, i think it's a pro american nonpartisan message and there's a lot of unanimity and appeal to what we're doing. >> in that interview, scaramucci also said the president's border wall is at the top of the to do list for the white house, and

he's expected to officially take over as communications director in a couple of weeks. rob? >> garrett, scaramucci has been a pretty fierce defender of the president, but not for so long. only in recent times. he's had some harsh words for him in the past; right? >> yeah, you saw that yesterday in the briefing went he was asked about calling then candidate donald trump a hack politician just a couple of years ago, he said that it is one of his biggest regrets and that the president reminds him about it about every 20 minutes or so. in terms of policy, though, he has also had a number of positions over the years that are in direct opposition to the president's, so today he tweeted, full transparency, i'm deleting old tweets, past views evolved and shouldn't be a distraction. i serve potus agenda and that's all that matters. some of these deleted tweets include this one from 2015 when he wrote walls don't work, never have, never will. the berlin wall, 1961 to 1989, don't fall for it.

then in 2012, he tweeted, we, the usa, has 5% of the world's population, but 50% of the world's guns. enough is enough. it is just common sense. apply more controls. just a few months ago he tweeted this about climate change. you can take steps to combat climate change without crippling the economy. the fact many people still believe climate change is a hoax is disheartening. as he said yesterday in his new position, his focus is simply on pushing the president's agenda, not on his own. so now he's trying to put all of that out there so everyone can move on from it. >> he's deleting those tweets. those are three big about-faces we will see how that goes. garrett, thank you very much. >> you got it >> be sure to catch fox news sunday tomorrow anchor chris wallace will sit down with anthony scaramucci, the incoming white house communications director, will discuss the shake up in the west wing and president trump's future agenda. that's tomorrow right here on fox news channel. check your local listings for the time. meanwhile, president trump

traveling to virginia today to help commission a multibillion dollars naval warship. the president visiting naval station norfolk to preside over the commissioning ser moe fi -- ceremony for the uss gerald ford, mr. trump praising the minds and muscle used to build this new state of the art aircraft carrier. >> as we put this stunning ship into the service of our nation, we must also pay tribute to the thousands of citizens, military and civilian who helped design and build it, their love of country has been poured into every rivet and bulkhead on this vessel. >> kristin fisher has more from the site of today's dedication in norfolk virginia. >> the speech focus on two things first it was a salute to the sailors who will man this ship and to the nearly 9,000 ship builders who built it many

of whom who were here today. second his speech was also a salute to the ship itself and what it means to the u.s. navy and our country. >> this ship is the deterrent that keeps us from having to fight in the first place, but this ship also ensures that if a fight does come, it will always end the same way. we will win, win, win. we will never lose. we will win. >> now, this is made in america week for the white house, and what better way to end it than with the commissioning of the largest and most sophisticated warship ever built. made entirely right here in virginia. so there's a lot about this carrier that president trump loves, but there's also a lot that he doesn't like. it was billions of dollars over budget. several years behind schedule. and it's still not finished. in fact, it won't actually be able to be deployed for a few more years, likely until 2021. during his speech, president trump also put pressure on congress to pass a budget that would include his proposal to increase defense spending by an

additional 54 billion dollars next year. >> now we need congress to do its job and pass the budget that provides for higher stable and predictable funding levels for our military needs so call that congressman and call that senator and make sure you get it. you can also call those senators to make sure you get healthcare >> so president trump not missing an opportunity to continue to push for healthcare reform, despite the senate bill's demise earlier this week, though he made no mention of the major staff shakeup that just took place back in d.c. back to you. >> kristin, thank you. the head of the minneapolis police department stepping down after the deadly shooting of an unarmed australian woman. police chief janee harteau resigned yesterday at the qf o the city's mayor -- at the request of the city's mayor. the ordeal starting when the

victim called 911 to report a possible sexual assault in an alley behind her home. a short time later she was shot by officer mohamed noor as she approached that squad car in the dark. the mayor of minneapolis says she's already nominated a new police chief to make cultural changes. >> transformational change is difficult. it is uncomfortable. it takes time. and it is worth doing because there's a better city and a better world on the other side of it, whatever the transformation needs to be, and that's what we have been doing here in minneapolis. >> why did the mayor force the chief out? >> simply put, rob, the minneapolis mayor betsy hodges say she and the people of minneapolis lost total confidence in the police chief's ability to lead the police force for any longer. frankly there is community outrage and frustration as to how this shooting unfolded. the officer who shot justine damond mohamed noor and his partner did not have their body

cameras turned on at the time of the shooting. secondly the victim's family is frustrated at the lack of information coming out of the investigation, and thirdly this is an international incident now. damond was an australian woman who was here in the u.s. to marry the love of her life. and plus there has been multiple controversial shootings in minneapolis over the last three years, jamar clark, unarmed 24-year-old black man killed in november of 2015. last july philando castille was shot and killed during a routine traffic stop. and now damond. >> justine was a beacon to all of us. we only ask that the light of justice shine down on the circumstances of her death. thank you. >> now, the shooting led to a protest of about 200 people downtown yesterday. a few dozen even interrupting a press conference by mayor betsy hodges. >> we do not want you as the mayor of minneapolis! we ask for you to resign! >> i will not be resigning and like i said, it is

understandable to me that, you know, people's frustration is high. i share that frustration. >> now the city's police chief janee harteau resigned friday at the request of the mayor. in a statement harteau said quote i have to put the communities we serve first. i have decided i'm willing to step aside to let a fresh set of leadership eyes see what more can be done for the mpd to be the very best it can be. rob? >> any more information as to exactly -- i heard the theory that maybe it was fireworks that startled the officer when he shot. any information on how this happened? >> there's not a lot of new information. except for the fact that there is a new witness who happened to be bicycling by and that witness has spoken to investigators, reportedly this witness may have videotape, a part of this encounter, again, from what we understand, justine called 911 twice last saturday to report a possible sexual assault happening in the alley behind her home. officer noor and his partner drove up and at that time noor's partner says they heard a loud noise and that startled them and at the same time damond came up to the police cruiser, noor shot

her from inside the vehicle. now noor is on administrative leave, and he has yet to speak to investigators. >> yeah, he doesn't want to talk publicly. i remember that. brian, thank you very much. >> thanks, rob. okay, right now bloodshed in the middle east as tensions boil between israelis and palestinians. look at that. how both sides are reacting to friday's deadly attacks over a holy site there. also hollywood loses a veteran actor. i'm sure you recognize that face. john heard best known for playing the dad in the home alone films has died. the actor was found dead yesterday in his california hotel room where he was recovering from back surgery. he was very successful theater actor before he appeared in a wide range of tv and film roles. a lot of those in the 80s like the tom hanks film, big. the pelican brief as well. beaches, also the show the sopranos. john heard, 71 years old. i just want to find a used car without getting ripped off.

a setback for a u.s. backed coalition fighting the taliban in afghanistan as u.s. airstrike kills at least 12 friendly afghan police soldiers -- police officers i should say. it happened yesterday during an operation against taliban insurgents in the southern province. their deaths come amid increased fighting in that area which is controlled by the taliban. nato and u.s. troops are assisting afghan troops in that area. and the u.s. offering its condolences to the families of the security forces who were killed. more israeli troops deployed to the west bank and placed on high alert. this one day after six people were killed in widespread israeli palestinian clashes. authorities say a palestinian stabbed three members of an israeli family to death in a jewish settlement yesterday. this just hours after three palestinians were killed in violence prompted by new security measures at jerusalem's holiest site.

john huddy has more from our jerusalem bureau. >> rob, israeli officials are calling last night's deadly attack in the west bank settlement a massacre. there are crime scene photos just too graphic to show, but in one, the kitchen floor of the home where an israeli family was eating their meal is stained with blood. the attack happened in the west bank settlement, where police say a 20-year-old palestinian man snuck into a home through an open back door and stabbed to death a father and his two grown children. the mother who was also stabbed was rushed to the hospital. she survived. the son's wife managed to hide her children in a room. they were unharmed. a neighbor who heard the screaming rushed to the family's home and shot the attacker, who also survived. before his assault, he posted on facebook what he called a last will, writing, quote, i'm going to die for the -- [inaudible]. he's referring to the temple

compound where israeli police installed metal-detectors at the entrances following a deadly attack last friday in which two police officers were killed. since then rioters have clashed with police in jerusalem and parts of the west bank. three palestinians have been killed in the violence and more than 400 others injured. since last night's attack, israel has poured more troops into the west bank. israeli security forces remain on high alert and posted outside the old city walls, and the question now is whether or not israel will stand firm on keeping metal-detectors in place outside the temple now. rob? >> thank you very much. a series of aftershocks leaving locals and tourists on edge after a deadly earthquake rocks the packed summertime greek islands on the shores of turkey damaging some very precious architecture as well. plus a law enforcement getting some back up in the skies with drones. why this move is facing some pu pushback -- pushback, that's

ahead. >> what we don't want to see are drones become a tool for pervasive suspicionless surveillance, basically a way of new bike? 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.

warrant that night, leading to the seizure of the stolen quilt -- stolen equipment and the alleged thief's arrest within hours. first successful use of a drone in a criminal case of its kind. >> that flight was about as perfect as it could get. it was flawless. the flight went off very well. i think we're in the air a maximum of ten minutes. >> right now it looks like we're getting the strongest signal about halfway down the wood line. >> the sheriff's department in new jersey hopes its drones can find missing people. project life saver offers wristbands to the elderly with alzheimer's or dementia or children with autism. >> years ago when we had people wander off, we would bring out the rescue squad, the fire department, the volunteers, k-9 if we had it and we would search and search and search and never find a person. >> according to a study by a drone center, at least 347 police, fire and emergency units nationwide now deploy unmanned aerial vehicles and many more

are in the purchasing stage, raising privacy concerns for groups including the american civil liberties union. >> what we don't want to see are drones become a tool for pervasive suspicionless surveillance basically a way of letting the government look over all our shoulders all the time >> the clarkstown police department is training a dozens officers to be pilots and say citizens rights are a priority. if they need to fly -- >> rick leventhal, fox news. attorney general jeff sessions may be in hot water over his contact with a russian ambassador. a new report suggests the two engaged in more than just small talk during meetings last year. >> let me be clear, i never had

>> i'm rob schmitt in for julie banderas. the sudden departure of sean spicer as white house press secretary. spicer discussing his decision with sean hannity last night. >> walk us through that, to the extent that you can share the

conversation you went in -- you went in and said you want to give them a clean slate. give us the back and forth between you and the president today in oval office. >> i will say this, i have never revealed private conversation that have been privy to the president. >> you are on your way out, you might as well; right? >> you are right. i'm on my way out, why not. as i said, i went into the president after we had the discussion early with anthony and sarah about what the president's desires were. i said sir, i have had the opportunity to think about this. i think it is in the best interest of this administration and your presidency that i give these two individuals the opportunity to operate without me in the way so they have a fresh start, that i'm not lurking over them. i think that's in the best interest of the organization, of this administration, and of his presidency. and so he -- again, there was a bit of a back and forth. he's an unbelievably gracious individual. and wanted to make sure that i

thought that that was in the best interest of myself as well. he's always thinking of others. and i assured him i would be just fine. he assured me he would continue to be as supportive as he always has been and i told him i would stay on for a few weeks to ensure a smooth transition. he accepted that. and then we kept working hard to advance his agenda. >> did you feel in any way that your role had been diminished? i mean, you started sharing the podium with sarah huckabee sanders, anthony scaramucci comes in, did you feel in any way that this was against you? did you feel you were pushed out in any way? or this was just totally your decision? >> no, as you mentioned, the president obviously wanted to add to the team more than anything. i just think it was in the best interest of our communications department, of our press organization, to not have too many cooks in the kitchen, and so i think that's a good quality. they need the team here that works so hard, so tirelessly to advance the president's agenda,

need clear leadership and i thought it would be a bit confusing having additional people at the top, and so i wanted to move on to give both anthony and sarah that clear lane in each of their respective areas. but look, we've been working tirelessly trying to advance his agenda. there are a lot of people here doing a lot of amazing work on the digital side, on the research side, on our press operation, we had a very success made in america week this week garnering over millions of impressions throughout the country of the amazing things that -- products that come from around the country and that the president is working hard to keep and grow, the manufacturing base and the job base around this country. so there's so much to be done, and we've got two additionally talented people that will continue to lead this effort forward. >> was it hard for you when saturday night live would go after you or other people, late night comics would attack you? i remember asking you this one time and i remember your answer

distinctly but i want to ask you before our audience here, was it hard? did you have a sense of humor about it? did it bother you deep down in any way? >> i'm a prankster. i like a good joke. when it is funny it is funny. you have to laugh at yourself -- >> was saturday night live funny? did you like that or did that bother you? >> i think there were a couple parts that was funny. there was a lot of it that was over the line and it wasn't funny, it was stupid or funny or malicious. there were some skits that i have seen on late night television that i had to crack up at. sometimes it can be funny. some of the memes tough laugh at yourself a little bit. -- some of the memes you have to laugh at yourself a little bit. there's a time when it goes from funny to mean. you have to have a thick skin if you want to do this. >> have you thought about your future? was this sudden for you, or did you think about it at all? >> the president is doing so

many amazing things on behalf of this country. it was always about advancing that, but i'm really looking forward -- my family has made a tremendous sacrifice to allow me to have this honor. i look forward to spending a lot of time with my kids, my wife who have really been unbelievely supportive to give me this amazing opportunity that the president allowed me to have. >> sean spicer with sean hannity last night. more major developments concerning the president's communication team. anthony scaramucci steps in as the white house communications director and sarah huckabee sanders will be taking over as the white house press secretary for those briefings. all right, a new chapter in the saga surrounding russia and attorney general jeff sessions. the washington post now reporting intercepted conversations between sessions and russian ambassador sergey kislyak indicate the two talked about campaign-related issues during the 2016 presidential election. claims that contradict previous statements made by sessions. here is the attorney general

back in march. >> the idea that i was part of a, quote, continuing exchange of information during the campaign between trump surrogates and intermediaries for the russian government is totally false. >> ellison barber has more from washington. >> the russian ambassador to washington told his bosses he talked about campaign-related matters with the now attorney general of the united states. that according to a new washington post report. the conversations allegedly took place during the 2016 campaign. sources reportedly told the post ambassador sergey kislyak conversations with his bosses were intercepted by u.s. spy agencies. if true, it seemingly contradicts a number of statements sessions made. >> i never had meetings with russian operatives or russian intermediaries about the trump campaign. >> to the best of your memory, you had no conversation with

ambassador kislyak at that meeting? >> i don't recall it, senator. >> a spokesperson with the department of justice told fox news she could not comment on the reliability of what anonymous sources describe in the post article, but, quote, the attorney general stands by his testimony from just last month. this morning president trump criticized the leak, tweeting a new intelligence leak from the washington post, this time against ag jeff sessions, these illegal leaks, like comey's, must stop. it's the second time the president has publicly mentioned sessions in almost as many days. in an interview with the new york times president trump spoke about the attorney general and his decision to recuse himself from the investigations related to russia and the election, saying, quote, he should have told me before he took the job, and i would have picked somebody else. >> clearly he has confidence in him or he would not be the attorney general. >> trump's oldest son donald trump jr. and former campaign manager paul manafort are set to

face questions from the senate judiciary committee this week about a june 2016 meeting with a russian lawyer. that's expected to take place behind closed doors. rob? >> all right, ellison barber, thank you. the trump administration announcing thousands of new visas will be made available this year for seasonal nonagricultural foreign workers. homeland security making the decision after claims of a labor shortage in this country in certain industries. we have more from our bureau in dallas. >> it's hot in texas. we've mowed thousands of acres a week. it is hard work. >> masterful mowing is jason's mantra. his dallas landscaping company is huge, employing 250 seasonal workers a year. 50 of whom are not u.s. citizens, working here under the same visa program the trump administration just expanded. >> it's encouraging. you know, we rely heavily on the program.

>> 15,000 additional h-2b visas will be made available for the rest of the year, well surpassing the previous limit of 66,000. they are more migrant workers who want temporary jobs in landscaping, seafood or construction. in fact, president trump has utilized this particular visa for seasonal workers at his resort. >> we have to put ads in the paper, and we have to advertise from, you know, about a month. >> businesses must provide the feds with proof on how they tried to attract americans first, a company also has to attest their firms would suffer permanent irreparable harm if they did not import foreign help. he insists he only hears from a handful of american applicants, yet critics of the program say that's not what the statistics show. >> there isn't much data or evidence that would establish that there are major national level labor shortages. >> daniel costa from the economic policy institute faults u.s. companies, alleging many

prefer it this way because it's cheaper to employ immigrants >> they might be able to find workers if they raised the wages that they offered. >> but ceos like jason craven say it is not reasonable to lump all companies together. >> that was casey steagall in dallas. supporters of the ebs panded program -- expanded program say they appreciate the attention being drawn to this but argue their seasons are nearly over, might be too little too late at least for this year. the trial of an illegal immigrant accused of murdering a san francisco woman has been postponed again. he asserted his right to a speedy trial yesterday after his trial had been delayed a number of times. he is accused of shooting and killing a 32-year-old woman two years ago with a stolen gun, but his attorneys say evidence shows that he's innocent. >> has all the physical traits of an accident, and that is why

forward? is there a cooldown coming? do we know? >> not a lot. the conditions have been perfect -- you have to keep in mind we just came out of a five year historic drought here in california. then we had a lot of rain over the winter and that allowed vegetation to grow back and created perfect fuel. there is a little bit of good news. fire crews near the detwiler fire up north are getting help this weekend, while it is still hot and dry, the winds have calmed down and authorities say that's a welcome gift. rob? >> fill up the reservoirs but now you have to deal with the vegetation, the fuel, like you said. will, thank you very much. firefighters battling those flames are keeping a close eye on the weather. it is critically important with temperatures rising amid a heat wave that's hitting several parts of the country this weekend. the big question is, is there an end in sight? let's head over to the fox news weather center with meteorologist adam clock. i think it is hot everywhere. it is hot on the east coast, the midwest, the west coast. we are all cooking. >> yes, absolutely scorching sweltering out there, and it really does keep us busy from coast to coast beginning with

heat. good news is, rob, that heat is still really intense tomorrow, beginning to back down just a couple of degrees for us on monday and tuesday. it will still be hot but won't be talking about triple digits, 110, won't be in that range in the next couple of days. >> we still have august to go. >> yes, a long ways to go. >> thank you very much. a new jersey home once occupied by a family of russian spies is about to hit the market. investors are planning to flip this house. how much will it cost to make it yours, if you want it? plus a billion dollars venture devoted to the most influential book in the world. our chief religion correspondent giving us a closer look at the museum of the bible. >> it's the most banned book in the world. it's the most burnt book in the world. and today it's still the best-selling book in the world. having moderate to severe plaque psoriasis is not always easy. it's a long-distance run. and you have the determination to keep going. humira has a proven track record of being prescribed for nearly 10 years.
