sinkholes and hurricanes, but it is delightful and full of sunshine. there are trade-offs. >> leland: what options for sinkholes? >> shannon: in the meantime, "happening now" starts right now. see you tomorrow. >> jon: a fox news alert, president trump tweeting up a storm as he usually does. the administration hit the milestone, good morning to you. this is a "happening now." >> and i am julie banderas, and since then he has tweeted guess how many times? more than 1000, including this morning. >> jon: he took to twitter to tell his team's accomplishments since eggnog ration day while blasting the media critics, tweeting "the trump base is still bigger and stronger than ever before, with the rallies in penn, ohio, and west virginia, the fact is the fake news rush inclusion story record stockmarket border security,

jobs, supreme court pay, economic enthusiasm, deregulation and so much more have driven the base even closer together, will never change." joining us now is bret baier, sounds from those tweets that the president does not feel he has anything to worry about. >> he is touting successes. he does not hear a loud, the news landscape, and besides the ones that are covering both sides of all the issues, you have to take him right there at his word, because the trump supporters do see those things as a real positive, the neil gorsuch appointment to the supreme court, getting him through that confirmation hearing, the deregulation that is affecting businesses, they are saying a lot of upside ther there. economic success, he says that it is building, and would likely continue the administration argues if the tax reform policy is put in place to through

congress, and i think that they are saying they are not getting a lot of credit for what has happened. what has not happened is a major legislative victory. and that has yet to come. and obviously still working on the tax reform being number one. >> jon: the fact is when he goes on those rallies as you had a "special report" on one recently, when he goes on the rallies, those that are in the heartland really show their appreciation. >> they do, the rallies are packed, much like the campaign trail, we did not overall estimate to those crowd sizes as being this big uproar until the very end. and then he outperformed were a lot of people thought he was going to perform at the end of the election. you look at some of the states that he went to west virginia, he is overwhelmingly in the approval, disapproval according to the latest polls. other states it is pretty neck

and neck. according to the polls. his point i think is that polls have not measured him and the campaign, he is saying that they do not measure him now as far as people who support the trump administration. all that caveat is that there are still roadblocks up ahead still potholes. robert mueller. all of it is troubling down the road. >> jon: i remember when the stock market took a slight nosedive because it had not anticipated the trump victory. and look at what has happened since then. of the stock market is not the u.s. economy, but a pretty good barometer for how business leaders feel things are going. >> on election night i was on the anchor desk. and stock market was going about 800, 900 points, and she said, this is a tremendous buying opportunity. she was very pressing into there, because obviously businesses look to deregulation,

pulling off some of these things that were onerous in their minds to business. as being an upside, i think that there are still -- is still a lot of hope that texas and repatriating door rollers overseas is something that can be done in the by partisan basis. but now the road map for that is still unclear. you will see the administration rolled it out in the next couple of weeks in a formal way. >> jon: the president is not shy about taking on his critics on twitter, right now his target of the week seems to be connecticut senator richard blumenthal. he does not like what senator blumenthal has to say about the russian investigation. >> he pointed back to some campaign allegations about blumenthal's previous service in the military and how he critical rise to during the campaign. obviously the president taking exception to some of the things he has been saying about the russian investigation.

this is classic president trump to do that and tweet it out. there was a story by bloomberg road to general was getting the early sign of some of these tweets before they came out, not sure that he got those this morning. >> jon: let's talk about a related issue, mr. tromso vice president mike pence blasting "the new york times" reported that he is secretly plotting to run for president in 2020. calling it disgraceful and offensive even before the story broke, here's what he told kristin fisher earlier this month. >> all that i'm preparing for every day is to do everything i can to see president donald trump reelected in 2020. >> jon: and the vice president secretary was on "fox & friends," blasting the article that ran a "new york times" over the weekend. >> it is absurd, really what you have here is speculation, conjecture, half truths, masquerading as news on the

front page of the never-trump "new york times." he has been nothing but supportive. and his singular focus is making sure that the president's agenda is enacted and reelected in 2020. >> jon: denials about any campaign for the presidency by the sitting vice president. >> you think the pushback was pretty firm? i think so. i think the message that vice president pence wants to send, not running in 2020, whether he is making moves or not behind the scenes, i think that they wanted to push back very, very hard to say that he is a loyal soldier. very important in the eyes of the president, loyalty and being on the team. there are clearly republicans who are worried about the prospects in 2018 and looking forward to 2020, but a lot can happen or not happen in between now and then. and so far if you look at the other side of the coin, who are

the democrats putting up? who is the leader of the democratic party? i think that when critics point to the trump administration, i think as you look at it electorally, you should look at the other side to see where the leadership is coming from. >> jon: pretty rare that the sitting president gets challenged within his own party for a second term. john k sick, he has not said that he would not run in three years. >> it is possible, it could happen. but it would be very tough, especially if the economy is turning, and other successes other than what he tweeted out today, if they have a few more in the economy is booming, it will be a tougher somewhat due within the republic imparting to unseat a sitting president. >> jon: bret baier, we will be watching "special report tonight. thank you. speak to a fox news alert,

north korea vowing to launch thousandfold revenge against the u.s. after the u.n. security council voted for a new sanctions on the rogue nation. president trump touting the sanctions on twitter where he also said he had spoken with the president of south korea who is pleased, nearly 30,000 u.s. troops are stationed in south korea to counter any attacked from the north. senior affairs correspondent talking with us. hello. >> a lot of tough talk and some tough action, again against north korea from the united states and the international community, first, let's get to secretary tillerson purchasing that those are assigned at the world had lost its patients with pyongyang, saying that the best signal that north korea would be prepared to talk to stop sending up those missiles, also overnight there

was a one hour phone conversation regarding kim jong-un and the missiles and the news with president trump and south korean president moon jae-in. summing up the conversation saying that it is a growing threat to countries around the world. the sanctions were approved by unanimous vote. in security council over the weekend. if described as some of the strongest in the generation against north korea, hitting and especially $1 billion worth of exports coming out of north korea. things like coal, iron, fueling very definitely the nuclear and missile program in north korea. they have already responded saying, and i am quoting from the foreign minister, under no circumstances would it put its nukes or missiles in the dash on the table. and staying that they would have won thousandfold response in revenge for the station against the united states.

we have to remind the viewers, all this activity diplomatic, economic comes after last month where we saw two icbm missiles launched, both of those could hit some parts of the united states, a lot of people concerned. >> julie: thank you. >> jon: president trump may be celebrating 200 days in office, but it's administration is still investigating election day voter fraud. new information on how some states are changing their tune about complying with the federal request. plus the russia investigation moving forward, a new question about who and what is fair game as special counsel robert mueller gets a grand jury. we will have more on rod rosenstein sitting down in an exclusive interview on ""fox news sunday"." >> bob mueller understands the

scope of the investigation. it is not a fishing expedition.

>> the special counsel is subject to the rules and regulations of the department of justice. that order that you read does not detail specifically who may be the specific investigation, we do not reveal that publicly, but bob mueller understands and i understand the specific scope of the investigation. if you find evidence within a scope of forte director mueller and i have agreed, you can, if it is something outside, he needs to come to the acting attorney general, at this time me to explain the investigation. we do not talk about that publicly, the speculation that you are saying in the news media is nothing that i've said or that director mueller outside, we don't know how credible those sources are. >> julie: you have deputy attorney general rod rosenstein on the scope of the russia investigation that could expand on what investigators find. at this is a probe appears to be

moving full steam ahead with robert mueller's in paneling of a grand jury. a former assistant director of the fbi, and former chief executive of the fbi. always a pleasure to see you. you just heard rod rosenstein refusing to comment on reports that mueller is using a grand jury in his investigation saying that a grand jury is between the many investigations. and he is worried. he should not be commenting much like let's just say james comey did. they thought he should not be commenting on an ongoing investigation, so how much should we read into the grand jury being impaneled? >> i think it is a very sensible way to go about the investigation for the special counsel. the importance of the grand jury is that it adds some teeth to the investigative process. if you are looking to obtain

documents, you can obtain them with a subpoena and somebody is going to deliver them or be held in contempt. if you want to interview somebody and have them come before the grand jury and be sworn to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, they need to do that. it is very serious in terms of what the grand jury can do. and the important thing to remember also, julie, there are 60 rules of the grand jury, nothing that goes on in front of them can come outside the room without the grand jury is in. the information should remain secret. so it is a very important aspect of the grand jury. to read into it that they have come and seeing some comments that they are coming into some additional information that is nefarious, the purpose of the grand jury is to get the evidence that they need for the investigation whether it's exonerates the situation or the person or whether it goes to further convict a person.

that is where the investigation takes it, that is the importance in this case. >> julie: for those that do not understand the reason for the grand jury, under the constitution and must be impaneled, and capital or infamous crimes in federal court. the lead by a prosecutor, and held in secret. the fact that mueller has requested a grand jury means that the investigation is going to continue on russia and be reviewing classified material. it does not necessarily mean that any indictments are forthcoming or subpoenas, but in your experience by looking at what we know so far, do you see indictments in the immediate future? >> i do not see them in the immediate future, i see the grand jury being impaneled, for exactly why you use grand jury's, and that is to determine what evidence you having to put the evidence forward. to think that the grand jury, because it is a grand jury and impaneled going to be an

indictment, i think that is a giant step. it can always happen, of course. i do not think it is going to happen in the immediate future. there's just a lot of investigation to be conducted right now. >> julie: let's talk about the grand jury that has been impaneled regarding michael flynn. because there is an investigation there as well while they are trying to determine whether or not michael flynn had basically not disclose information that he had exchanged money with turkey, where does that stand and how does that fold into all of this? >> that is the grand jury that i believe was initiated in virginia in the northern district of virginia. a separate district if there is another panel, and other panel in d.c., this may very well be rolled into the information that is being sought in the grand jury in washington, d.c., and in that way you can compress all of

the information that you are looking at in regard to the general. and also in regard to this particular case, because it may very well be that the activity of the general was in fact part of collusion. one never knows. you don't know where it is going to go. but you have to take the steps to find out where it is going to go and what was done. >> julie: could the grand jury subpoena president trump after the fact that james comey had essentially said at the time when he was still the fbi chief that the president had spoken to him in a private meeting saying to pull off both michael flynn and focus on the russia meddling into the 2016 election, that conversation after was followed by him getting fired, james comey. is it possible that in that conversation he then could be pulled an end subpoena them, because it appears that he was trying to hamper an investigation behind michael

flynn? >> anything in this regard as possible, but to think of the fact that the president of the united states could be subpoenaed before a grand jury, and i think that is a very, very long stretch, reach in order for that to happen. i don't think it will happen. they will avoid that at all costs. >> julie: bill gavin, thank you very much. we appreciate it. >> jon: by now you probably know how president trump feels about the mainstream media. >> they are trying to cheat you out of the leadership that you want with a fake story that is demeaning to all of us, and most importantly it is demeaning to our country! >> jon: and today the president once again taking to twitter to target several networks and publications while insisting his base is getting stronger. the media panel weighs in. and the hunt is on for a cop killer and police need your hel help.

>> right now as far as just the incident itself, we want to make sure that we are locating the individual that was responsible for this. and put him behind bars and keep the public safe. whuuuuuat?rtgage offer from the bank today. you never just get one offer. go to lendingtree.com and shop multiple loan offers for free! free? yeah. could save thousands. you should probably buy me dinner. no. go to lendingtree.com for a new home loan or refinance. receive up to five free offers and choose the loan that's right for you. our average customer could lower their monthly bills by over three hundred dollars. go to lendingtree.com right now.

>> julie: this is a fox news alert, the search is on for a man suspected of killing a police officer in missouri. state highway officials saying there that ian mccarthy, shot and killed gary michael last night after the officer pulled him over for a registration violation. police also say that they believe that mccarthy might still be in town. >> if you see anybody suspicious in the area that you call 911 if you are in your vehicle and you have your cell phone, call star

55, we will take any information that may be out there that you have, and we will follow up on it. we want to make sure we exhaust every lead to make sure that we are going to find him. >> julie: the 37-year-old officer is leaving behind his wife and stepson. >> jon: now president trump may be on a working vacation, but certainly not taking a break from going after one of his favorite targets on twitter, the media. tweeting. "hard to believe that with 24/7 #fake news on cnn, abc, nbc, cbs, nytimes & wapo, the trump base is getting stronger!" this as he has held exactly one solo news conference during his presidency. joining us now, media reporter for the hill and judy miller, pulitzer prize-winning investigator, author, and fox news contributor. judy, the president is upset about the way that the press

characterizes his accomplishments, and he does have some 2.2. >> yes, he has north korea, which by the way, a singular foreign policy accomplishment, he got a resolution penalizing north korea through the u.n., unanimous vote, china, russia, supposedly not going to side with us supported us. that is an accomplishment which was completely overshadowed by donald trump's own tweets. >> jon: how do you feel general kelly feels about that? >> he must be frustrated, not there on vacation with him to carry the golf bag or sit on mr. trump's twitter finger. >> jon: the coverage of the presidency has been uniformity of bully negative among the media outlet. >> yes, you look at the harvard study, 30% of coverage is negative, 87% at "the new york times" negative. "washington post" 82%, i have to

correct you, it is thumbs, judy. >> oh, i am sorry. i'm not with him when he is tweeting. >> by the positive news around the administration, the economy is growing, unemployment is at an all-time low. the employment of neil gore said, all positive things. you can hit the president on negative things as well, health care and the communications team has been in disarray, two communications directors already at a press secretary. plenty of things to complain about, but also things to praise. you rarely hear the positive news. >> jon: the president says that his base is growing and getting bigger. >> but it is not, it shrinking. and he was worried about falling below 35%, a couple of polls have him add 33%. even though tried and true crowd-pleaser which is attacking the mainstream media, us is not

working in terms of what he wants to do. you should give it a rest. i'm not saying that he has to have a news conference, he can communicate in whatever way he likes. but he has to do more to stop the undisciplined attacks on the press as being responsible for his own self-inflicted problems. >> i think you should have more press conferences. he has had one. it was on my birthday. i turned 33 33 that day. president obama had 12 in his first year, george w. bush had 11 and in first year. and 11 joint press conferences, but he has his best communicator. he needs to get out and solo situations besides twitter and take some questions on things he might not want to answer. >> jon: the joint press conferences are usually very limited period of two per questions per liter, not a wide range of topics. >> that's why people don't count them as full press conferences. >> jon: why do you think that he doesn't?

you say he is his own communicator, why not take on the press? >> that's a very good question. you needn't get -- you need to get him on the show and ask him now. it has not been happening so far. >> i think it is clearly because of his staff and he both share the concern about his grasp of the material that he would be asked about. mr. trump is notoriously large-picture focused, so if he is asked a a question about health care and why did not go through and the other parts of his agenda which are dead in the water for the moment, he might not be able to answer, or mind to make a mistake and lash out, that's why we are not having a press conference. >> but most would not focus on health care or the economy, it would be mostly about russia, i would imagine. >> jon: a negative headline in "the new york times" on saturday, speculated that vice president and the leaders are not ready to dive in because he is not going to win the

second term? >> i read that, you know what the number one complaint is, the overreliance on anonymous sources. it says that anonymity should be the last resort. it has now become the first resort because let's throw it out there, see if it sticks. let's get the vice president to respond, and the news cycle is so quick that everyone will forget about it anyway. if they need to crack down on the stories that are based solely on unnamed sources. >> that is the story that sends a donald trump into twitter rage this morning. >> jon: let me just read the tweets. "the failing @nytimes, which has made every wrong prediction about me including my big election win (apologized), is totally inept!" we are going to have to leave it there. they did not exactly apologize, but they did not get it right either. >> we are going to rededicate ourselves to the times journalism, that does not say apology. it is not saying sorry, but it

certainly sounds like it. >> when you retract a story, it is a retraction. this is not an apology or a retraction. >> jon: thank you both. >> julie: election day is nine months behind us, and for weeks the president's election fraud commission has been trying to get his hands on public information from all 50 states, so why are some states refuting their refusal, we are seeing some movement on the bipartisan approach to health care reform. mitch mcconnell seems more willing in fact to work with democrats. but is it enough to get things done? the panel weighs in. >> since republicans are in the majority, they get to call the tune, but as i have said before, when he called her tuned, the democrats have to be included in the choir for a meaningful role. whoooo.

you're searching for something. like the perfect deal... ...on the perfect hotel. so wouldn't it be perfect if... ....there was a single site... ...where you could find the... ...right hotel for you at the best price?

there is. because tripadvisor now compares... ...prices from over 200 booking... ...sites ...to save you up to 30%... ...on the hotel you want. trust this bird's words. tripadvisor. the latest reviews. the lowest prices.

>> julie: new information to tell you about on the trump administration's voter fraud investigation. >> jon: new york agreed to comply with the federal government's request to handle over a public voter information. to some other states are reconsidering their official denial. >> julie: joining us live from the new york city newsroom to explain. >> this is still a very contentious issue, this afternoon in new hampshire, the aclu and two lawmakers will go to court to try to get the state to not hand over requested data to the president's advisory

commission examining voter fraud. but some of the info being sought is already public. critics argue that they are concerned about privacy and how they say that new hampshire law does not allow for the data to be released. today, so far, six states are refusing to provide the information. california, kentucky, minnesota, and new mexico joined by south carolina. 26 others have agreed to pay fees and are offering limited cooperation and five states, arkansas, colorado, florida, ohio, and washington have already complied. the commission's vice chair says that states cannot be compelled to cooperate. it is voluntary, but he does say that voter fraud is a nationwide problem that should not be ignored. >> if you look at the convictions, we know that since approximately the year 2000, 938 convictions of individuals for voter fraud, that is the tip of

the iceberg. you are probably only able to convict 1% or so of the total number of cases that we see. >> critics say that voter fraud is a smoke screen and fear the legitimate purpose is to legitimize his claim that he lost the popular vote to hillary clinton because millions of people voted illegally. fearing that a report issued by the commission could be used to pass laws to suppress boats. >> i think that there are some commissioners of the commission that are taking incomplete data and running it through of bunch of methodologically unsound practices and coming up with results that are not verifiable and that we cannot trust and using those results to justify -- larger americans to vote. >> the individual states challenging the commission, at least seven federal lawsuits that have been filed by a variety of groups including the ncaa -- naacp, and saying if the

condition is allowed to do its job, can restore confidence in e american elections. the report is due out in about one year. back to you. >> julie: thank you very much. so right now new calls for a bipartisan effort on health care reform, more than a week after the senate failed to repeal obamacare. mitch mcconnell says that he will consider a plan to consider payments to insurers in order to avoid rattling health care. >> i think that the plan is that we have begun to look at the solutions, and really stabilize the private market and figure how we are going to get to the reinsurance, high-cost goals, as we do that, we will try to include more governors, republicans and democrats, and at some point we need to work with the senators. so people like lamar alexander

who is already talking about looking at a bipartisan solution will be surprised at the number of senators that are willing to kind of step back and say, let's roll up our sleeves and work on a bipartisan basis and see how far we can go. >> julie: the former trump hispanic advisory contributor, and ethan bearman is a radio talk show host in l.a. thank you very much for talking to us. mitch mcconnell says that there is still a chance that reminds me of when you are trying to break up with a boyfriend, he does not want to go away. and you think that there is still a chance, is there really still a chance that the senate could revive the measure to repeal and replace obamacare? acknowledging that he acknowledged that the window is rapidly closing. talk about closing, they are taking off august. it is closed. at least for the summer. >> reminding me of jim carrey in

"a dumb dumber" when he married her in real life, so maybe, but a couple of points, you are right. it is disgraceful that they have taken the month of august off, what are they? europeans? who takes the entire month off? i don't. you are working today. most of the viewers are working, the fact that they rewarded themselves with a month off that we pay for, by the way as a reward for getting nothing done on health care is reprehensible. republicans were given both houses of congress and the white house largely on the promise that we will be repeal obamacare, now that we would sure it out, not that we would go to obamacare-light, but i hope that the chance that he is talking about will not come to fruition, it sounds like using a health care term, putting obamacare on life support instead of killing obamacare which is what the american people called for. >> julie: mitch mcconnell pointed out that republican senator lamar alexander of tennessee is working on some kind of bipartisan approach that

would involve subsidies for insurance companies. what does he mean by bipartisan approach? who is going to concede here? >> it sounds like with lamar alexander, patty murray from washington, and if we get rid of the language, repeal, repeal, repeal which failed, failed, failed, let's fix what is there. seven seven millions of americans, let's not throw those people to the wind, let's fix what is there. this is what the democrats have been calling for to fix it, so let's fix it, if you talk about fixing it, that's what lamar alexander is talking about, you will get democrats on board. we can have a bipartisan approach. >> julie: saying that we would be dumber than dirt if we do not try again on health care. and ethan just mentioned, millions of american people dependent on the government making payments to insurance companies. forget tax or form, they need

and cannot afford to not make this right. they have to live up to the promise that they made to the constituents, now being bombarded by thousand dollars plus payments to the health care per month, those rates will go up in january. i don't even get me started on midterms. do they want to lose control of house and the senate, they are headed that way. >> as a lifelong republican, if we do not get this done and has informed on this year, then i think that we deserve as a party to be in jeopardy in 2018, because i'm not sure in that case, what is the republican party? three election cycles, largely, primarily about repealing and replacing obamacare. if we have total control of washington, and we cannot deliver on the promise, what kind of party do we have? the republican party is begging to be fractured. having said that, i don't think that is going to happen. i think we will get tax cuts. do something for one health care, the economy is accelerated.

we will have a lot of momentum in 2018. >> julie: thank you both. >> jon: tragic news to bring them in the search for u.s. marines missing after the aircraft crashed off the coast of australia over the weekend. plus the opioid crisis getting out of control. saying that he knows how to stop the academic at his source. people would stare. psoriasis does that. it was tough getting out there on stage.

i wanted to be clear. i wanted it to last. so i kept on fighting. i found something that worked. and keeps on working. now? they see me. see me. see if cosentyx could make a difference for you- cosentyx is proven to help people with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis... ...find clear skin that can last. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx. before starting cosentyx, you should be checked for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infections and lowered ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms. or if you have received a vaccine or plan to. if you have inflammatory bowel disease, tell your doctor if symptoms develop or worsen. serious allergic reactions may occur. never give up. see me. see me. clear skin can last. don't hold back... ...ask your dermatologist if cosentyx can help you find clear skin that lasts.

>> jon: fox news alert on the crash of a u.s. military plane off the coast of australia, now declaring as a deceased the three missing marines from the mv 22. after they got the wreckage of the sea of australia. most than the more than two dozen above the aircraft were rescued. >> first of all, can i extend our condolences to those marines

that have tragically lost their lives over the weekend. i can assure the people that's my government is offering whatever assistance is needed. we have conveyed that to u.s. authorities. >> jon: the marines were conducting a regular scheduled operation when it went down into the water on saturday. takes off and lands like a helicopter, but flies up like an airplane has been involved in a series of high-profile crashes in recent years. >> julie: new information on the opioid crisis in our country that we have been following closely here on "happening now." an alarming new data showing that close to 1-16 patients become chronic users of opioids after the procedure. the next gas has a solution. doctors should stop overprescribing opioids. doctor is a cancer surgeon, also a physician at johns hopkins.

also the author of "unaccountable." there are some scary facts behind the world of medicine, why don't you explain to the viewers the amount of opioids that you were recommended to prescribe to your patients and one that you ignored. >> not only given too many, but too many pills within each prescription. we give 250 million prescriptions out. that is crazy. and when i was a resident, i was taught as a surgical training to get about 60 or 90 tablets to everybody regardless of which operation they had, that way they would not call us, bother us, and honestly, a lot was well intended. we want to people to be comfortable, we did not realize that 1-16 get addicted. >> julie: you are looking at a different strategy to combat the opioid crisis. >> i had my aha moment when i saw my father with gallbladder surgery and was able to feel comfortable with one ibuprofen. i was giving most 60 or 90

tablets depending on the operation. >> julie: that is per patient? >> per patient, a fraction of the 250 million subscriptions that we give out every year. >> julie: how many pills would it take if i started taking them to become a addicted? >> i think a couple pills is when people realize the effect that it can have on them, if somebody has a standardized c-section, not a chronic pain syndromes, best practice is to give a couple to maybe five pills, and john only meant johns hopkins, that is a best practice, five pills in combination with acetaminophen, what they call multimodality theory. we should be rewarding doctors and reinforcing best practices. not just injections and giving out pills. >> julie: it is unbelievable that you were given 60-90, when it only takes a couple to become

addicted. and there are a lot of other medicines that can be used to treat pain. >> there is a lot of talk about treatment, but to be honest, most patients relapse. treatment does not work well, the best treatment is prevention. if we are giving 250 million prescriptions every year, can we look at the data and to see which prescribing patterns are out there that we can rein in? we can take care of our own house with peer benchmarking and showing the doctors the data related to best practice is, we can rein them people just like i reindeer myself when i saw my father. >> julie: talk about the funding, is the funding there to help the people that are suffering from addiction? >> it is a tough problem. once you are addicted, it is a tough problem. the relapse is 91%. of talking about adding more funding and some of the proposals out there, and the reality is, can you imagine a society where we as doctors are giving people loaded syringes in

their homes, not using most of the pills that we prescribe. >> julie: dr. marty mccarrick, thank you for talking to us. >> jon: u.s. car sales are in a major slump, one automaker considering some big changes to try to combat that. gm now wayne scrubbing some lines like the venerable and follow that does detroit's trouble mean it is a buyers market for you? and if you've been diagnosed with cancer, searching for answers like where to treat, can feel even more overwhelming. so start your search with a specialist at cancer treatment centers of america. start with teams of cancer treatment experts under one roof. start where specialists use advanced genomic testing to guide precision cancer treatment... ...that may lead to targeted therapies and more treatment options. start where there's a commitment to analyzing
