8:00 am
>> shannon: rolling stones were favored, the author of the magma magazine saying that he is selling his stake. an unfortunate misstep on the behalf of the magazine. some generation it was kind of their voice, their magazine, their bible. >> bill: we have to run, we will see you tomorrow. >> fox news alert, president trump making his first visit to the united nations ahead of the address to the general assembly now. hello, welcome to "happening now." >> can you tell that the president is coming to the city? >> jon: if you had to walk into our building, there is a little bit of gridlock. >> am julie banderas, the president's speech will promote peace, while making it clear that north korea is not just a u.s. problem but a global one, today at the u.n., the president saying he is looking forward to talks on this issue. >> we are looking forward to it, as far as we are concerned, i
8:01 am
think most of you know how i feel. >> jon: we can also expect the president to talk about the america first policy that we heard so much about on the campaign trail. >> we are going to promote prosperity, because prosperity is also everyone's business to make sure that the sovereign nations pursue economic prosperity for its citizens the way that they see fit. the president has also called for a better balance, a better deal in trade deal to this country, he is putting american workers and america employers first. england how that goes into the u.n. address like this is making clear that he will always come to the table in good faith, but that these deals need to benefit americans more. >> jon: let's look ahead with bret baier, he is an anchor of "special report" on fox news channel. candidate donald trump made no secret of his antipathy for, or
8:02 am
may be disdain for the united nations, what does this president say when he takes to the podium tomorrow? >> well, good morning, i think that he will say that it is time to make the u.n. great, as he said leaving the meeting today. >> jon: to coin a phrase. >> as a candidate he was not a huge fan of the united nations, especially some of how president obama spoke at the united nations and used the united nations on various issues. i think that this president means the u.n. to stay united on issues like north korea, particularly, and most urgently, but also like iran to try to make it meet the spirit of the law beyond the letter of the law of that iran nuclear deal. i also think that there are some opportunities that they are forecasting here, and that is
8:03 am
the paris climate accord, we still believe that the white house is going to be out of that. unless there is a different deal, a new deal that america somehow benefits from. i would not be surprised if that is kind of sends out there like a lure to see if anybody bites. >> jon: i want to read one line that a reporter put out this morning. the president will have some time to shine and take the spotlight to come of this reporter writes neither russian president of vladimir putin nor chinese president are coming this year, that gives even more running room to a celebrity president who has shaken global institutions with his america first policy and whom diplomats politely described as unpredictable. so as i said, he gets his moment in the spotlight without a two other major leaders, also angela merkel who is not going to be there.
8:04 am
>> remember, this is a scripted speech in front of the u.n. bod body, and it is the last big scripted speech that we saw was the afghanistan deployment speech, which was largely applauded on both sides of the aisle. and in all the points that it talked about, i think he will reference the afghanistan policy he has put in place. and remember the speech back in poland, while controversial, it was largely applauded as well. as far as sticking to the themes and what america stands for in the world. so, he is going to stick to the script here. almost guarantee you, and in the u.n., standing in front of the green marble, and this is not a tweeting situation, this is a delivered speech, and i think in that case it will be pretty predictable. >> jon: we should not be surprised if the speech is not
8:05 am
particularly well received, because very often any american president's speech at the united nations is not very well received. >> yes, there will be some tweaks about much like he did with the nato leaders telling them to pay their fair share. by the way, more countries are now paying their fair share in nato. than they did before. president trump did all of that. and there will be some calling to the carpets, i'm sure of different countries who are not standing as firm as they could or should. namely russia and china on the issue of north korea. >> jon: at the same time, many of these world leaders may express some doubts about the president. but they also hope that they will get a chance to rub shoulders with him, maybe in the hallways or behind the scenes at a general assembly meeting. >> the perfect example of that is the french president macron who has different views on the number of different points, but he has gone out of his way to
8:06 am
try to warm up to you or at least a buddy up to president trump. and trying to get coming you remember the whole walkout in france when the president visited paris, that was a big effort for the french president. and he is meeting with him today in an effort to continue that relationship. >> jon: as a private businessman and developer, he once criticized the marble there at the u.n., he would remodeled the place if you wanted to. it will be interesting to see how the reception goes. bret baier, thank you. speak to a significant developing in the russia probe, relatives of former national security advisor michael flynn are establishing a legal defensd as the cost of the legal bills continue to rise. in fact it appears to be the very first fund among former trump adviser, chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge is live, she
8:07 am
had a exclusive with the flynn family. tell us about that, catherine. >> thank you, good morning. in the first interview, the advisor's brother said that the siblings had to push michael flynn to open the defense fund as the bills reach into the seven figures. joe flynn said that the retired general fines allegations, working against the allegations, "extremely difficult." >> my brother michael bleeds a red, white, and blue, no question about it. one thing most disturbing for myself is to hear words like traitor. you hear words like turncoat, those kinds of terms describing my brother and michael are very, very disturbing. and most importantly, coming from people who have no idea the amount of sacrifice that he made in serving this nation and protecting this nation. so my brother is absolutely a patriot. >> former national security adviser seen here with his brother from a modest background with eight siblings growing up
8:08 am
in a 1200 square-foot home in newport rhode island. after 33 years of service, he retired, soon joining the trump campaign as one of the president's earliest supporters. resigned after he was found to mislaid the president, but his conversations about sanctions but the russian ambassador saying that he was "disappointed" with flynn. multiple investigations as well as special counsel probe, legal experts told fox that the cases can be crippling. >> being a subject of a federal investigation imposes all sorts of costs on you that people may not appreciate, even if you are found to be in essence, you have done nothing wrong, just to get to that point you have to spend tens, hundreds of thousands of dollars, possibly even millions of dollars in order to clear your name. >> one former trump campaign aide who asked not to be identified told fox that the legal seeds have ranged into six-figure range. a witness, not a target of the special counsel's probe.
8:09 am
>> julie: thank you very much. >> jon: new fallout from the recent crashes that let 17 sailors dead, who is now taking the blame? as congress digs deeper into what went wrong. angela u.s. offers a show of force in the air over the korean peninsula. sending a message to kim jong un. we will look at the military options when it comes to the rogue regime as america's top diplomat weighed in on the crisis today. >> we are looking for a resolution that must speak for themselves. unanimous view of what is new for north korea to correct the situation. thank you.
8:10 am
8:11 am
8:12 am
>> jon: right now the u.s. navy taking action after recent ship collisions that left 17 sailors dead. firing two more officers, bringing the total to seven. the uss fitzgerald struck a
8:13 am
tanker of japan in june, killing seven sailors paid in august, another destroyer, uss john mccain killed ten. the commander of the seventh fleet today fired admiral charles, and jeff bennett, due to a loss of confidence in their ability to command prior to the senate armed service committee will hear testimony in the investigation tomorrow. >> it is absolutely critical that all of our nations stand shoulder to shoulder against what arguably is the number one nontraditional threat facing the international community today, and very approximate to this capital city. only 27 miles north of here, and they are clearly and unambiguously threatening their neighbors, flying missiles over japan, provoking south korea and
8:14 am
clearly and ambiguously threatening the united states. >> julie: general mark milley weighing in on north korea, as they confirm to fox news, usb one bombers and fighter jets staged exercises with south korea today prior to defense minister also says north korea is in the "final stages" of developing the icbms. and they remain ready for more tests. thank you david for talking to us. north korea is further isolating itself from the rest of the world by conducting these tests over and over again. i want to read a statement after north korea's latest missile launch from secretary rex tillerson who said that we call on all nations to take new measures against the kim regime, china supplies north korea with its oil. russia is the largest employer of north korean forced labor. of china and russia must indicate their intolerance for these reckless missile launches
8:15 am
by taking direct actions of their own. what actions are they going to finally take? >> on the side of china, china can clampdown on the fuel. they can start to sending a big message on the export of personnel and the worker parties that come across from north korea. of china can definitely help the economic pressure, without a doubt. >> julie: they haven't, and they know that's what they need to do to get north korea to listen. the toughest sanctions need to be implemented. neither sanctions nor talk has worked with north korea. what we need to do to illustrate beyond that with regards to the missile protection program, for example? >> we need to demonstrate the capability of our missile program as well. and they will test another missile, shoot it down. we need to absolutely shoot it down. put all the resources we have whether it is the systems or the taad system.
8:16 am
we need to shoot it down. >> julie: why have we not been doing that? with every missile launch, they get into the sea of japan, they go and do it, it is a successful launch, kim jong un and his force feels like they have claimed a victory against the united states, essentially. >> yes, two arguments out there for not shooting it down. one is called intelligence gain and loss. we gain some information by watching them launch and seeing where they are at, but on the other side, north korea also gains information as well too. we know where they are going, i discount that argument. the other one is, what is the capability of our system? can it shoot it down? i do not care to be honest with you, if it fails, that's okay with me. let's fail now so that we can learn what we have to use it. >> julie: yes, we heard about thaad and to the missile defense program, and they missed a
8:17 am
couple of training systems, the only way to practice and to know what we are doing is to shoot down actual missiles, but japan needs to reevaluate its missile defense system as well, what would a rearmed japan mean for china? >> that would start to pressure china into some kind of action. they want stability in the region. that's why they are so against applying the pressure. they see the regime collapse as a big problem for them. we have to put on the other side the incentive that if they see japan rearming, japan and china have a long history, that will pressure china into some action as well. >> julie: yes, we know it kim jong un once coming he wants to have the korean peninsula completely under his regime, but in order to do that he has to get the united states out of south korea. how should we be further assisting south korea to prevent what is happening considering leaders will be meeting with the president and of course the u.s. military and south korea are
8:18 am
working very closely together. >> you are absolutely spot on on that. that is his goal is the reunification of the korean peninsula under his regime. one thing we can do is put the full on effort into missile defense. you have an iron dome, a short piece, the aero midrange, and the david sling piece, a layered missile defense. not perfect, but certainly better what south korea has right now. so we start instituting those pieces as well. we need to keep allied with south korea. >> julie: yes, we will continue to do that, we will wait and see what comes out of the meeting with the president this week at the u.n. thank you so much, david sears for talking to us. >> thank you, julie. >> jon: fox news alert, and at the equifax data breach affecting half of all american adults. but there is a new concern for
8:19 am
those folks, a scam looking to take advantage of the hack. we will tell you how to spot it. plus, new details emerging from monday -- london's subway bombing. what investigators are hoping to find after the weekend. >> we are trying to make significant arrest, the police continue their investigations, not just at the site where the people used to live, but we will interview the suspects.
8:20 am

8:23 am
in the path of this very powerful storm, as you can see on the map, it is expected to intensify to a category 4. hurricane maria has just become a category 3. it is out there over the warm waters in the atlantic and caribbean, it is expected to strengthen in the coming day. he will keep you apprised of the track. >> julie: london police continuing to investigate the subway bombing that injured 29 people, interrogating two men they arrested over the weekend, ages 18 and 21, learning new details on both of the suspects. benjamin hall is live in london with the very latest. no charges yet? >> no charges yet, julie, but they are being held under the terrorism act. what we are learning is that they were both refugees from war-torn countries. one from iraq, one from syria, and fostered at the same children's foster home, living together for many years.
8:24 am
one was arrested at the chicken shop on saturday night. he is identified as yahyah farroukh, the 21-year-old from syria. coming over three years ago. both he and the other suspect had been fostered in this home, now the subject of an intense search as police tried to figure out if there were any more involved in the possible terror cell. it is reported that police visited the house a number of times over the last few weeks so suggesting that they had suspicions over the two. this one particular video showing the 18-year-old iraqi suspect wearing a red had helped to identify the terrorist leader as he waited for the ferry trying to leave the u.k. he is seen carrying what is thought to be the now named bomb in a bucket which left 29 people injured when it exploded aboard a london crowded subway train on friday during morning rush hour. had that bomb detonated, it is thought that hundreds may have been killed or injured.
8:25 am
but here in the u.k., the terror level has been reduced from critical to severe, meaning that the government no longer feels there is an imminent threat, but how easy it is to build a bomb based on designs online, the issue of refugees coming to the country and how police can serve rail people who may pose a threat spread actually. >> julie: thank you very much. jon. >> jon: skimmers are trying to take advantage of victims in the equifax hack. that report exposing the personal info of americans. now skimmers are calling those people pretending that they are from equifax and asking for more personal data. the fox business networks is live in our newsroom. >> this is really serious. first of all, do not stay on the phone with anyone who says that he or she is calling from equifax. they have no reason to call you. are they already have the data.
8:26 am
and hackers can actually make fake caller i.d. that make the number that you are seeing on your screen look like the equifax phone number. so if, for some reason, you think that you need to be speaking with equifax, you hang up the phone, you call the company. they actually do in fact have a dedicated line for data breach victims. so independent security researchers say that skimmers stealing data have been online since august. trying to sell americans information, that same group of researchers say that no data has been sold yet. now you may be wondering who pulled off the original hack. experts say that the job looks a lot like a state sponsored actor. no one's naming names or countries, but the size, the sophistication, the scope of the attack all are pointing as i mentioned to a state sponsored actor, at least that is what experts are telling us right now, so 40%, jon, key data was
8:27 am
stolen. really this combination package that makes it so dangerous. name, social security measures number, address, date of birth, and in some cases driver's license data. equifax will face 23 class action lawsuits that we know of now. and part of the liability is that some security companies warned equifax months before the hack happened, told them about weaknesses in the system. and many say that equifax could not chose not to address it. about a third of its value since addressing the hack in september. i want to bring you some breaking news, the department of justice is now opening a criminal probe into the company for possible insider trading. there were three executives at the top of the firm who sold what amounts to $2 million worth of stock in between the time that they learned of the hack and making it public. so a lot of details to follow in
8:28 am
the story. in the meantime, for people to remember, get out no information on the phone. >> jon: equifax is not going to be calling you? >> no. >> jon: thank you for your help. >> julie: president trump raising lots of eyebrows by reaching across the aisle to democrats on immigration and tax reform. is the media overhyping the reaction? loss -- more violence in st. louis over the judges decision to acquit the former police officer in the killing of a black man. protesters are stopping traffic this morning. where is this all going to go next?

>> julie: breaking right now, protesters in st. louis disrupting rush hour after a third night of violence. arresting at least 80 people last night alone. all this in response to a judge acquitting a wide former police officer in the 2011 shooting death of a black man, chris jenkins is live in st. louis. to this weekend, as i was reporting and speaking with the reporter there, they do not like the media either. but they want to the attention. certainly a lot of angry people. where you are. hello. >> hey, julie, that is right. the pattern is the same. during the day they have peaceful protests -- we did not
8:33 am
to the that, that was not a protester. the damage that protesters have done, they have boarded up the windows, painted these signs like pieces away, trying to be positive about that. we are in delmar loop, this is the area where on saturday night, 23 businesses were vandalized, but protest this morning, march down, snarled traffic, in front of city hall, but last night 80 arrests, that was the most violent of all the three nights in total, 120 people have been arrested for the vandalism, and really attacking cops, more than one dozen cops, fortunately nonlife threatening, we have talked to some of the protesters, julie, and one of the leaders, this has continued for three days, what is it you want? here is what reverend had to say. >> we need to be asking the question why, it is not just poverty, it is not just that black people are committing more crimes than anybody else.
8:34 am
that is not the answer. that is not the excuse that we are going to allow people to continue to make. police are going to have to stop protecting white communities and taking down black communities. >> and the hope of officials is that it will not continue to be disruptive for a fourth night coming even though here in the delmar loop, university city area, there is a schedule protests gathering at 6:00 p.m., and it is our hope that we will have polite folks here and not rude people like we began trying to interrupt our reporting to cover this event. apologies to the viewers for that profanity. >> julie: yes, we apologize for that. we cannot control the nature of the aggressiveness on the ground. you handled it like a pro. thank you so much. ♪ >> jon: president trump is making waves and some headlines with his outreach to democrats on immigration reform, and other issues. what are the media overhyping the bipartisanship and the
8:35 am
reaction to it? let's take it up with today's media panel. joining us now, joe concha, reporter for "the hill" and judy miller, prize winner journalist and fox news contributor. the president got this headlining breitbart news, they call him amnesty don when he works with democrats like chuck schumer and nancy pelosi to get the debt ceiling extension past. >> writes, well, get a grip, guys. both hollywood and the how to burners need to really calm down and realize that if donald trump was a 33% and shrinking basis, going to get anything done, if he is going to make good on any of the promises that he made to the american people, he is going to need to reach out to chuck and nancy and his new best friends forever, at least for this minute to accomplish what he has said he was going to accomplish. i find that very pragmatic.
8:36 am
i find it reassuring. i find it politics as usual. yes, i'm kind of old fashion. i like getting things done, especially when it concerns the dreamers and $8 billion in aid for the people of texas. >> jon: so, breitbart, from steve bannon, his former right-hand man works, criticizing him, you have "the washington post" weighing in with a line that says this. a new strategy for tron, democrats cautious but encouraged by fresh outreach. it seems like the results of this election, at least on this one issue has been turned on its head. >> it appears that way. bill marr of hbo said that this is not bipartisanship, this is bipolar. [laughter] i have seen flip-flops used with president trump, i have seen liar, so i love looking at new situations. when you look at president obama changing his position on gay marriage or ending the war in afghanistan, those words were not used like bipolar or
8:37 am
flip-flops, instead the president simply evolved, it was a natural progression, but with president trump, even though it is bipartisanship, vacant for the previous eight years for whatever reason, always goes back to the negative. it always does. >> jon: you mention his approval ratings, but a lot of observers say that his base is going to stick with him. what they want to see, you alluded to this, our results, they want bill ma of hbo said that this is to see stuff getting done. >> absolutely, and the people who are burning their make america great again hats, they are splitting their coalition. people need to be pragmatic about politics. that's what it is all about, and hollywood usually does not understand that. and a lot of the media do not understand that. they are on their view on the man on the president, not going to change their minds. >> let me jump in on the hollywood points, break a little news, the last night's emmy awards, the ratings are just
8:38 am
coming in, the least watched in the show's 68th year history, hosted by stephen colbert, start to finish, president trump flashing and people tuned out, at least half the country tuned out, that's what i'm talking about going negative, even an award shows, that's myopic about going after the president, people get numbed by it. >> as a defender and an admirer of bill maher and i have been on his show, but more than that, i think he is a liberal libertarian, he is a part of no party, he knows when president trump is giving him great material, which is what happened. >> jon: let's talk about the material that president trump president trump is free tweeting, several images posted by supporters that the president has sent out to his millions of twitter followers. "the washington post" is one of several news outlets raising the question of whether the retweets become an endorsement, and may be some kind of signal to his
8:39 am
base. he raised a lot of eyebrows over the weekend when he sent one that shows him hitting a golf ball and apparently it hit hillary clinton in the head and knocked her over. a lot of people say that that is not presidential behavior. >> i am shocked. aren't you shocked, joe? this is donald trump. you have to expect the unusual. you have to expect occasionally something vulgar, something inappropriate, and then something pragmatic like outreaches to chuck, by the way, chuck schumer, donald trump is a new yorker, he has known him all his life. he is a businessman in new york. of course he is, chuck, so let's get a grip, people. donald trump is donald trump. let's accept it, praise him when he does something good. attacking when he does something bad. get on with it. >> i was this close to writing a story on how general kelly, the new white house press secretary has controlled the president in terms of his tweeting. that he has not gotten in trouble for any of it.
8:40 am
he has been on twitter since 2009, he has tweeted more than 35,800 times, or 30,000 times more than jon scott. he is active, but his supporters, you can disagree with this, but his supporters love it when he sends out stuff. >> reaches 30 million people directly. >> 37 million. >> i stand corrected. >> jon: i heard about the hillary clinton thing, i wonder, does he not realize that he won the election? he does not need to keep bashing her, or does he? >> that is his week next. he does not understand when enough is enough. and he did with the election, but he keeps going back to the old themes, the things that get under his skin. >> he's all the criticism coming at him from mrs. clinton from the book tour, which is a therapy session in broad daylight. >> jon: all right, joe concho, and judy miller, a plate on the airplane. we are glad you are here. >> dedication.
8:41 am
>> julie: parents witnessed a nightmare as arriving carrying their children malfunction. >> here is her 7-year-old child screaming, saying, somebody help us, please help us put it they are crying at the top of their lungs. >> julie: that was just the start of a terrifying ordeal for the two kids trapped inside that the ferris wheel carriage. oh, my goodness. plus, hurricane maria threatening to barrel through the u.s. virgin islands just two weeks after hurricane irma devastated the islands. we will have the latest there next.

8:45 am
>> jon: that is a worker who was trying to save them, fell off the ride. he was not seriously hurt. both boys acted to get off. their mothers, of course, extremely grateful. >> those are your babies up there, you cannot do anything to protect them. you are at the bottom just lifeless. >> that was the most traumatic experience for me as a mother, and where i felt helpless that i cannot do anything at all. >> jon: organizers of the fair say that the ride is back open after passing a safety inspection. >> julie: this is a fox news alert. hurricane maria has strength into a category 3 as it heads toward puerto rico and expected to slam the u.s. virgin islands, just less than two weeks after hurricane irma completely devastated them. the national hurricane center saying that maria is gaining strength and could reach a category 4 by wednesday.
8:46 am
that is when maria is expected to strike the u.s. virgin islands as they tried to clean up from irma. environmental journalists kelly nowakowski is in the u.s. virgin islands, joining me now. thank you for talking to us. >> thank you for having me on today, julie. >> julie: the governor of the u.s. virgin islands says that the islands was 30% destroyed, 40,000 people are homeless. they desperately need help in the form of aid, which has mostly been focusing, they complain on florida. are they going to get the resources to prepare themselves for another hurricane? >> the resources that we need to prepare ourselves for another hurricane would be rebuilding and having shelter, we do not have enough time to do that, so right now it is getting people out of the most damage structures, the most housing projects, mandatory evacuations, and people are being put in shelters now. but in terms of the tarps that
8:47 am
have been distributed for homes that have already lost their roofs, they stand no chances with the winds that we are about to get. >> julie: no, of course. and the structures that do not have tarps on top are so badly damaged and unstable that they would never be able to sustain category 4 on top of that. prior to hurricane irma, florida governor rick scott did something that you do not often see. he declared a state of emergency to get federal aid before irma made landfall in order to help the state of florida prep for that method massive storm, that was hugely helpful, but the porch virgin islands, it seems like it was forgotten, somehow. what is being done there to help the people recover? and they do not have enough places to go, where are they going to go when maria comes? >> people will be with her family and friends if they have it. government shelters and churches, but some people will
8:48 am
likely be in their cars if they have cars, but hopefully they will have somebody in their network that they can stay with, and i'm sure strangers will be taking people and too if there is needed. we are just preparing for it. most of the eight has been coming from st. croix and puerto rico, which are directly in line for maria. st. croix is 40 miles south of st. thomas and st. john's, and it got by relatively unscathed from irma, but it is looking like it is going to get it the worst from maria, we are wondering if we joined them and drained too many supplies from st. croix and puerto rico, because we will have all four territories in this area needing aid very soon. >> julie: it is alarming to hear that you are saying that the plan b is to get in your car. that is not how you prepare for a hurricane. the people in texas and florida were not told, and expected to get in their cars.

once locked in on our target, we knew we had to move fast. fortunately, we were already pre-approved for a no money down loan with navy federal credit union, and were able to put an offer on this place immediately after it went on the market. i see you dad! how are my tomatoes doing, babe? ah, pretty good. navy federal credit union open to the armed forces, the dod, veterans, and their families.
