this phone to keep problems from spreading. with russia recently bombing u.s. forces in syria or near them, and threatening new retaliation, i'll ask the general what he expects next. he'll join us live. and the republican senator john mccain dealing a huge setback to the president's effort to change obamacare. mccain, no on graham-cassidy. his reasons ahead. let's get to it. >> announcer: shepard smith reporting live from the fox newsdesk. >> shepard: from the fox newsdesk, the latest g.o.p. healthcare plan is now one vote away from collapse. after the republican senator john mccain announced he cannot support the bill. the edition so sigs despite the fact one of its co-sponsors is his closest friend in the senate, lindsay graham. senator mccain broke the news hours after president trump warned his fellow republicans to vote yes.

the president tweeting, rand paul or whoever votes against the healthcare bill will forever future political campaign be known as the republican who saved obamacare. kentucky senator rand paul was the first republican to come out against the bill. his reasoning, it doesn't go far enough to repeal the affordable care act. now we're waiting to hear from the other two republicans who helped kill the last xw o.p. healthcare hill. chief congressional reporter mike omanual. >> with senator john mccain beak a no on the graham-cassidy plan there's intense pressure to lock down all other republican senators. maine senator susan collins said he's leaning against supporting this graham-cassidy legislation. collins is one of the no votes on healthcare reform in july. there was president to support with it her governor and vice president pence urging her to get onboard. >> we're encouraging senator

cain, but especially encouraging senator susan collins. to join us in this effort. to give the people of maine, the government of mavine the flexibility to improve the lives and the health of people of maine. >> if collins or alaska's lisa murkowski say they're against gray whom-cassidy leadership dus venlt votes to pass it. murkowski was no on the skinny repeal bill in july, so-called. president republican sources hope this team would be different if for no other reason than john mccain's best friend in the world is lindsay graham, author of the bill. >> shepard: what are you hearing from democrats? >> they're voi vowing to continue the fight, praising senator mccain for standing up and stopping this bill. bottom line, a number of democrats say they pish the bipartisan talks to try to fix obamacare were continuing. >> i felt like we were making steady pros toward a bipartisan

compromise to address the challenges and problems with obamacare repeal. there's an an abrupt halt by the republican leadership, we will have a vote this coming week on this bill. i have concerns how it will affect delaware and the country and i plan to vote against it. >> mitch mcconnell intends to bring up graham-cassidy next week but that was before he had two hard no votes against the bill. >> mike emmanuel, thanks. >> shepard: chris wallace, moderator of "fox news sunday." john mccain gave his reasons. last time around, he made a pretty clear statement when he was that dramatic vote for no. we have a full screen of that i'd like to show the viewing audience. here it is. this is what he said last time. the congress must now return to regular order. hold hearings. receive input from members of both parties. and heed the recommendations of our nation's governors so that we can produce a bill that finally provides americans with

access to quality and affordable healthcare. that part of it hadn't changed, though this is technically regular order it wasn't. committees had met on it, and the congressional budget office hadn't marked it up. >> exactly right. the committees have not met on it. they'll hold one or two hearings this next week. simply, i think, trying to satisfy john mccain,nd some others who said this is a heck of a way to completely reform the health system, one-sixth of the economy. we're not going to get a cbl score, congressional budget office. the impact on premiums or the impact it would have on millions of people potentially losing their coverage. john mccain decided to pull the plug early. maybe he didn't want to be the one, the final vote as he was last time, when he literally put his thumb down. but he made it clear he's a no vote. rand paul has made it clear he's a no vote. this reminds me of the line about the knight and the prince, in the princess bride, it's mostly dead, this is mostly dead

right now. i suppose susan collins could change but she's been against all of these repeal and replace plans. i'd be shocked if she were to change. lisa murkowski has been against almost all of them. i'd be a little less shocked if she changed. shelley moore of west virginia, rob portman of ohio, grassley and earns the from iowa. there's a lot of opposition. it's on- support, would be an overstatement. on life support. >> shepard: lisa murkowski of alaska, there's a large gift basket waiting in the wings, it's my understanding for the people of alaska if she changes her mind. >> yes, there's a provision for sparsely populated states, alaska certainly qualifies as a sparsely populated state, that they would not fall under all of the provisions and it would make sure that they got more funding rather than less funding which they would otherwise if they were treated like every other state.

this is, it's interesting to see, shep, we all remember obamacare, all of the complaints that republicans had at the time about the messy way that was passed. we have a pass it in order to find out what's in it. things are jammed down. there was the cornhusker kickback, all of the special deals to buy the votes of senators. you're seeing all of that if not more on the part of republicans this time. it's perfect hypocrisy, what you see on capitol hill. >> shepard: i wanted to speak special about susan collins of maine. for her, she said repeatedly, i think, chris, this is about medicaid. her concerns about it. >> well, that's right. in fact according to the formula, maine would do better, there are some states, about 31 states that are losers in this bill. there are some that are winners. maine would be a winner. but she's very concerned about the medicaid. it turns it from a basically open-ended entitlement into a block grant and eventually a

formula with diminishing financing per capita, per person. in the long run, certainly after 2026, people on medicaid get less funding than in the past. susan collins is mad about that. you saw the governor, the independent goff of maine join -- governor of maine to join with the vice president to urge her to do it. she's reporting a lot of folks in maine like her stand against passing this bill. >> shepard: it seems that last time the republicans came up with a plan, it only had 17% approval across the nation. this time the concern seems to be if not primarily, largely, about a cap on lifetime benefits for people with pre-existing conditions. and they're discussing this in the jimmy kimmel way, if you have a child who needs multiple in his case heart surgeries and you have a million dollar cap and your child dice as a result of the fact you don't have enough money that seems to be a concern for a lot of voters. >> look, the problem is that

what this does is basically keeps all of the taxes from obamacare and does away with the mandates, does away with the medical device tax. it takes the other big taxes and simply gives it back to the state and says federalism, you do it. the problem is that every state would have a different plan and they would have to get waivers from the department, from washington, from the department of health and human services of appropriate and affordable coverage. nobody knows what that means. now, there's a likelihood that some states, liberal states, blue states, would have very lenient benefits and would, for instance, people with pre-existing conditions are well covered. other states we aren't sure. who knows what a waiver for appropriate and affordable coverage means. there is a concern. we don't know, in fact, but there is a concern that some say with pre-existing conditions may say on paper they can get coverage but in terms of the financing, cost of the premiums

or deductibles, they can't. >> shepard: it's not dead but it's extremely cold and extremely white. >> it's mostly dead. >> shepard: the leaders of north korea and united states are person ally insulting each other and bringing the nuclear standoff to a new level. the dictator kim judge un has called president trump mentally deranged n a personal statement, it comes after president plump threatened to totally destroy north korea if that is what it takes to defend the united states. that was during his speech to the united nations general assembly. according to north korean state television, kim jung un said whatever trump might have expected he will face results beyond his expectation. president trump tweeted this morning, kim jun-un of north korea, obvious lay madman, doesn't mind starving and killing his people, will be tested like never before. now, north korea's foreign min

city said they might consider testing a hydrogen bomb in the pacific ocean. here's how the secretary of state, rex tillerson, responded to that. >> all of our military options are on the table as the president said. there will be assembled and there is assembled a national security council that meets on each of these issues to advise the president. it will be his decision ultimately. >> shepard: secretary tillerson said the u.s. will continue efforts in the diplomatic arena a back to chris wallace. going at it like children in a playground, does this lead to war? yesterday the stock market seemed to suggest so, 10 defense stocks hit the all-time high. >> we're a ways away from that. general mcmaster, h.r. mcmaster, national security advisor, said we're running out of road. there is more road. you can see that yesterday when the president announced that he signed an executive order giving the treasury secretary the powers to cut off any trade, any dealings with any company, any bank, that has trade or dealings

with north korea. president also announced that chinese, the chinese central bank, in account their federal reserve, is ordering all of their banks to cut off any financial transactions with pyongyang, with the kim regime. we'll wait to see how it works, whether squeezing north korea in that financial and trade sense shakes any sense into the kim regime and gets them to stand down. the question, shep, is whether kim has made in effect an existential choice, believes that having a long-range ballistic missile with a nuclear war head on it is not the path to disaster but the path to survival for his regime. you know, he looks around the world, sees saddam hussein, no weapons of mass destruction, ended up dead. same withca dafie and may have -- khadaffi.

the thing that ensures his survival he believes is to have a nuclear weapon. >> shepard: wonder what kind of reaction he'd get to an h-bomb test in the pacific. >> we have had h-bomb tests before, a couple of weeks ago, we think, it was underground. this would obviously be more stunning because it would be over ground. it would be over the water. we would see the mushroom cloud that would bring home what the threat is. do i think we'll go to war over a nuclear test, probably not. particularly not with all of these sanctions just getting started. >> shepard: chris wallace, from washington, looking forward to your program on fox news sunday. he'll talk with microsoft co-founder bill gates about the gates foundation, the world's biggest private charity among other things, on fox news sunday on your local fox station. the white house is getting set to take another try at a travel ban. the first ban caused a bit of chaos. so what is different this time? just released details coming up from the fox news deck on this friday afternoon. dynamic performance, track tuned handling, and aggressive styling.

s. >> shepard: the trump administration preparing a new order to replace the controversial travel band. department of homeland security has tailored restrictions to each country. based on what they call multiple factors including the threat each country poses and whether it cooperates with u.s. regulations. the new rules would replace president trump's earlier executive order that banned travelers from six muslim majority countries. but we're still waiting to hear which countries the new travel

rules will affect. kevin cork, live in somerset, new jersey not far from the president's golf club where he's spending the weekend. kevin? >> right on the money, shepard. we talked about the previous six country, we don't know how many countries will be involved in the new travel restrictions. we do have it on good authority based on what we've been learning from administration sources and base on what we learned from a recently concluded call the number of countries involved will likely expand to include more than the original six countries that we talked about. let me share part of an administration statement they've been talking about this idea of securing the homeland and most importantly protecting the american people. trump administration will ensure we only admit those properly voted and will not pose a threat to national security or public safety. so in expanding the number of countries on the list the administration proposes as you said, to create more restrictions but on a case-by-case basis. this is also relevant for one major important reason, that is by expanding it and making it

country-to-country, shepard, what they're effectively trying to do is blunt perhaps some of the legal pushback that the administration has previously gotten. you may recall the state department said there were like 17 countries not up to u.s. standards and failed to fall into compliance b half have. we'll see what that number looks like. i want to share a tweet that the president sent out after an attack on london. i think it's instructive, will give you a sense of what he's been thinking. this is back in september 15. a travel ban into the u.s. should be for larger, tougher, and more specific. indeed that appears to be the case. >> shepard: kevin cork, live for us, thank you. there's breaking news from puerto rico, word of a dam that has failed after hurricane maria. people are racing to escape. we'll take you there. mexico city faces of agony, video shows relatives of some of those still missing days after the earthquake leveled buildings. waiting for word. coming up.

capital is failing. a dam is failing and two towns are hurriedly evacuated, they have sent in buss to get people out machlt rea was the most powerful storm to hit puerto rico in 80 years. steve is live in san juan, about an hour and a half drive east of the dam. what have you heard, steve? >> shepard, people are just afraid of what's going to happen. so much uncertainty around about what is happening in the outer regions. it was expected, anticipated, and feared that this aging infrastructure of the bankrupt island would be tested by hurricane maria. that's what happened. details coming in bit by bit. this dam in northwestern part of the island is failing right now. they're using school buses to evacuate people as quickly as possible from two towns. already flash flooding in the river around there. this highlights a couple of things.

not only the infrastructure isca lapsing and dealt a death flow but the problem with information. cell phone coverage down. roads blocked. in these outer regions of the island where tragedies are happening in the wake of the storm, very difficult. information coming in just in bits and pieces. three dead here, eight dead there as the casually figure continues to rise. we'll monitor the dam collapse. >> shepard: search teams pulling survivors from unearthed crushed buildings three days after an earthquakes decimated areas around mexico city. much of that area was destroyed. city government reporting 60 rescues since that quake hit on tuesday. nearly 300 confirmed dead. the mexican navy official says that rumors of a child alive underneath a collapsed school were all wrong. but he said there are still could be somebody underneath there, as long as there's a chance he said the teams will

keep digging. similar scenes playing out in and around mexico city, rescuers refusing to give up, relatives holding out hope that missing loved ones will come home. our chief correspondent jonathan hunt is in mexico city at a textile factory, crews searching for survivors. >> this has been the scene of an intense search and rescue operation. overnight, one man was pulled alive from what was a four-story textile factory. you're looking at right now. as you can also see right now, the hundreds of rescue workers and volunteers here have paused for the moment. that appears to tell its own story. we are awaiting a visit by the mayor of mexico city. and the very fact that they have just, in the last few minutes, paused all their work may indicate that this is about to move from a search and rescue operation to a recovery

operation only. all day they've been telling us possibly eight women workers were still missing in this factory, shepard. it appears that we are moving towards the point when they may well announce that they have decided there are no more survivors. they've gone down to the basement here, they have had the rescue dogs sniffing there. but everybody will tell wednesday you get to the 72-hour mark here, it's very, very unlikely that they will find more survivors. and the families are bracing themselves for the movement that the government declares this is no long area rescue operation, but a recovery operation. shep? >> shepard: jonathan, thank you. american and russian generals meeting face-to-face as they fight a proxy war in siria. the pentagon accuses moscow of dropping bombs dangerously close to u.s. special operations groups. russians saying they will retaliate if anybody fires on their sources.

in the middle east for discussions. that's the word from a u.s. military spokesman. this meeting just days after the pentagon accused rush yaf of woming u.s.-backed fighters in eastern syria with american special forces dangerously close to the action. russia threatened to retaliate if its troops come under fire while fighting along side syrian forces. russian officials say they will target areas that american units occupy if necessary. that's a threat. it's bringing to the forefront the real possibility of direct confrontation between the united states and russian forces inside syria. where a civil war has been going on for more than six years. a proxy war between the united states and russia. jennifer griff win the news at the pentagon, what the latest on the ground syria? >> the russian military announced it fired cruise missiles from its submarine in the immediate trainion sea on militant positions in western syria. u.s. troops weren't nearby. tensions are running high in

eastern syria after that russian general threatened to attack american troops and the militia. they're advising right now, there's a standoff on the banks of the you a fray tease river between russian and american backed forces. both sides are essentially eyeball-to-eyeball. the u.s. military accused russian jets of bombing u.s.-backed fighters last weekend as you mention. no u.s. troops were hurt. but yesterday, a russian general warnld the united states russia would attack if the forces came under fire. this is a photograph of the hotline telephone used by the u.s. military to call their russian counterparts and deacon flikt, if you will, in the crowded skies over syria. it is located the air base in qatar where the u.s. runs the air war against isis. it is used we're told about a dozen times each day. at the pentagon, hosting his polish counterpart, defense secretary jim maltis was asked if he was worried about more russian air strikes against

u.s.-backed fighters and their american advisors in syria. >> no, i'm not worried, we deal with the russians in a collaborative way and we'll sort it out. >> the u.s. and russia are barred by law from cooperating together. congress passed a law after russia's invasion of ukraine in 2014. that didn't stop american and russian generals from meeting face-to-face in recent days, on the ground, to defuse the escalating situation. >> shepard: what about the fight against isis? >> all eyes are on the kurdish areas of northern iraq where a controversial referendum on independent evens is taking place on monday. u.s.-backed forces fighting to clear isis from its self-proclaimed capital in syria have cleared we're told 70% of ra" a. up to 900 isis fighters in rackia. in iraq the operation to plib rate one of the last pockets that isis controls in iraq. as if the pentagon doesn't have

enough to keep it'ses on, russia test fired an intercontinental ballistic miss will a 7,500 mile range capable of hitting any city in the united states. pentagon officials say the u.s. was warned about the test launch in accordance a with long-standing treatmenties. russia has been using syria for testing. that has the pentagon concerned. >> shepard: thank you. our next guest is the commander of the air war against the islamic state, lieutenant jeffrey cobra harigian has directed some of the biggest events in the fighting including the nine-month fight for the city of mosul. this photo from mosul yesterday. much of that city is devastated from the fighting. the general is an air force fighter pilot with more than 30 years experience. he flies over iraq and syria now, this shot from june as he refueled during a rishgs.

the general is also a purple heart recipient n1996 he was stationed in saudi arabia when he was injured in the bombing of the kobar towers. 19 airmen died in that attack, some 300 others hurt. lt. general jeffrey cobra harigian, central command, han honor to have you. >> it's great to be here. >> does anything change in regards to the russians? >> step one is manage the deacon flicks, get back to the fight against isis. we'll continue to work with and in coordination with the team to make sure we have deacon flikted to get of one in the sigs fight. we'll get the team in position to ensure there's not a strategic miscommunication that can occur. >> shepard: the russians were firing on others, our special op forces nearby. it was too close. and we said, basically, don't do

it and they said we'll fire on you. does that change anything on the ground? >> well, i think the important part to remember here is we will protect our force. it should be crystal clear in every american's mind that we're fog to protect our force. we work through this, i think the productive conversation that needs to occur is getting back to fighting isis, de-conflicting our forces, ensuring the mechanism to do that, what is required is a continued coverings with the russians to make that happen. >> shepard: we had a meeting that happens at undisclosed, all the rest, a meeting you would have attended had you not been here. >> i had a representative there. and that representative gave me full feedback on how that played out. and there's work to be done. >> i know we can't know details, i don't want to know details. i would like to know, if you can tell us, are things getting better. >> there was progress made. it will be piecemeal and it will

take time. the key is as we move forward we work through de-con flicks that allows us to continue our fight. at the end of the day we want to encircle and annihilate isis particularly in the middle euphrates river valley. >> is that what the russians want? are we able to communicate? we're not able to communicate team-to-team, russians and americans. >> that's what they have communicated to us. put at the end of the day as you know, actions speech louder than words. we have to work our way through that, from our perspective make sure that our airmen, our teammates on the ground, our soldiers and our partners are in a position to continue that fight against isis. >> shepard: our understanding of things is that we're bombing more targets in syria, isis related, than in the past. is that because there are more targets or is it something else? >> well i think it's combination of what we've been able to do to develop targets. over time, as we've spent time using our intelligence,

surveillance, and recon says assets we have a better understanding of the environment. the second big piece is the sirrial democratic forces are on the move. in ra" a, the great success, along with the middle euphrates river valley that, drives activity. >> shepard: syrian democratic forces. that's the ones we fight with against the government? >> yes, sir. that's it. >> shepard: are they getting better at what they do, and are they -- can they stand up? >> would i tell you, their asymmetric advantage is air power. we provide the capability to remain on the offensive. and put themselves in a position to succeed. that's what you see today. >> shepard: the critics said repeatedly that our air force is working for iran in that matter. >> i would deny that. >> shepard: i wouldn't suggest anything else. but we can see where they're coming from. >> i understand that. but i think importantly, we are supporting the sbs in their

operation, the syrian democratic forces, to deliberate these cities in syria. they have proven effective at doing that and we're supporting them every day and continue to do that. >> shepard: when you take out isis what happens then? >> what we have to do is facilitate the ability for the political process to take place so that governance can occur across the country and allow the people to get back to work. the kids to get back to school. >> shepard: that sounds great. from everything we see it looks like syria is pretty well destroyed. >> that will be a heavy lift. but the syrian democratic forces combined with our precision targeting have done as much as they can do to ensure that infrastructure remains standing. go ahead. >> shepard: i didn't mean to interrupt. i was going to ask you about iraq. it appears that there's very good progress there. in fact, from a lot of reading over the last 24 hours, it sounds like they're collapsing more quickly than had been anticipated. >> i completely agree with you.

the word i'm using is momentum. they have momentum. it's because the iraqie skrt forces prove themselves to be very confident in what they're doing. the security forces. they lempled the skills that we bring to support them. what you see is a growing nationalism inside of iraq. they own this. the other piece that i would throw out is what i've seen on the ground is they've been courageous, they've been heroic in the fight and the people appreciate what they've done to liberate them. >> shepard: i haven't heard that before, the other times that we have engaged ourselves with generals of your ilk have said other things. the point is, as you've watched this mature over time the iraqies have been up front. we are in an advise and assist operation. that's how we support them. when you combine the operations with the asymmetric forces of their power, they are succeeding and bringing in forces that maintain the stability to allow governance to occur. >> shepard: you talk about iraqi

nationalism, that's hard to find. the kurds more than ever want out. they're organizing and they don't want to be iraq, they want to be kurdistan. >> the kurdish referendum is something we're all concerned about. politically that will be something that will need to be sorted out. from the military perspective we want to ensure their stability and security that facilitates political progress to be made. >> shepard: will there come a time when they can take care of themselves? how will we know when that is? >> that's the plan. but we have to allow that to take time. that's going to take a while for that to occur. we will lay out metrics as we move into the next phase of the campaign, that would lay out what would be the appropriate time for us starting to hand over the responsibilities particularly from a support on the military side perspective. >> shepard: we read reports that the air force doesn't have enough bombs. and whatever you read something

like that as a journalist, you think they want more funding. we also want more funding, everyone does. or do we have a critical bomb shortage? >> i've been managing this from the day i took command 15 months ago. it's an issue we have worked through closely with the air force and department of defense. and there's a concern out there, clearly, as you look at the budget and ability to forecast long term, continuing resolutions do not help our ability to procure the weapons in the long term that we need. >> shepard: you need a budget. >> that would be help. >> shepard: how is washington responding? >> i think they hear us but i'll come back to there is talking but we need to see action to get the budget resolved. >> shepard: does the lack of a budget, just continuing resolution, make your job and the military job harder? >> it concerns me. the answer to that in the short term is yes. it drives us to have challenges that we would be able to not have to deal with had there been a budget. >> shepard: you have had problems with some planes. there's been talk of taking them out of the the mix. where is that? >> i think at this point, we've been able to work through that

and as you look at the resources that i have, available to me, i've been able to execute the fight every day without having to worry about those assets being pulled back. >> shepard: when you look at what's going on with north korea, the back and forth rhetorically and otherwise, what's yours greatest concern? >> well, i think at the end of the day all of us are concerned about this escalating into something that no would wants to happen. that is out of my area of responsibility. but as an american, there is a concern there that i think we all should be wary of. and hope that we can find a diplomatic solution to this problem. >> shepard: what keeps you up at night? >> well at the end of the day in my area of responsibility, is the possibility of a strategic miscalculation. we are not there to fight russia. we are not there to fight syria. our job is to crush isis and that's what we're doing every day. i worry that we put our airmen, our coalition team, in a position where strategic miscalculation could occur.

that's why we're working this de-conflict. >> shepard: you use that phone with the russians? >> i don't use interest but my guys do every day. >> what happens on that phone? >> the interesting part is i have some young airmen that we bring in, that are interpreters. so we'll talk, they'll respond and our interpreters, these young airmen, translate for us. it's incredible the context that they give us with their understanding of the russian laymen. it's fascinating, it's been a lesson in leadership as we work through negotiating with the russians on how we de-conflict our operations. >> sandra: is it we're here, don't go there, or is it bigger picture than that. >> all of the above. every day, you know, if we see something we don't like we call them. we will try to manage the de-confliction, but it's a conversation that ensures we're being crystal clear what we do. generally we could what we need to do to protect our force.

>> shepard: you coming in hot on that phone? >> occasionally, yes, sir. >> shepard: general, i can't thank you enough. all of the best and thank you for what you do for our nation. >> it's a pleasure to be here. what your young americans are doing and what the coalition team is doing is something for us all to be proud of. >> shepard: here, here. thank you, to all of your colleagues, appreciate it. >> thank you very much. >> shepard: president trump downplaying that russians bought arizona during the election. what about the totally biased and dishonest media coverage in favor of cooked hillary? facebook revealed this week that fake accounts based in russia bought around 3,000 political ads over the past couple of years. the company announced yesterday it will turn over the ads to congressional investigators looking into russian interference in the election. president trump has accused

democrats of using russia as an excuse for losing the election. the kremlin spokesman declined that moscow placed ads on facebook at all and claimed his people don't even know how to do that. trace gallagher with the backstory. tell us more about what facebook is doing. >> during the facebook live stream, the ceo said he cares deeply about the democratic process and protecting its integrity. because of that he is implementing a series of steps the company plans on taking to ensure that this does not happen again. he also gave an explanation for how it might have happened in the first place. watch. >> most ads are bought programmatically through the apps without an advertiser speaking to some one at facebook. that's what happened here. even without our employees directly involved in the sales, we can do better. by doing better he means facebook will improve its review process, add more people to the security team, and start partnering with election

commissions that will also increase transparency, requiring political advertisers to declare exactly who is paying for the ad. zucker berg said there will always be bad people in the world and ending all interference isn't realistic. shep. >> shepard: what do these ads look like? what were they advertising? >> face become said the ads in question came from about 470 phony accounts. the ads themselves did not reference the u.s. elections, voting, or any candidate in particular. instead they spread, quote, divisive social and political messages ayos the ideological spectrum, topics of lgbt matters, to race, to gun rights. facebook said they targeted certain parts of the country and majority ran in 2015. and now, the senate intel committee wants facebook and other social media companies to testify about russia's involvement in the 2016 election. you can bet these ads will certainly be a part of that

hearing. the committee chair says he's very interested in just how much social media companies actually know about russian activities on their various sites. >> shepard: trace gallagher live, thank you. violence breaking out in new york city during a speech by the turkish president. people in the crowd punching a protester. this is not the first time the turkish president supporters have gotten violent in the united states. that's next. i count on my dell small business advisor for tech advice. with one phone call, i get products that suit my needs and i get back to business. ♪
