crew for joining us, thank you. have a great weekend, america. i'm going to see you-- i see you every weekday on fox business 2 p.m. eastern. >> president trump tweeting that he is, quote, proud of his health care executive order this week and urges congress to come back together to fix obamacare. we will be speaking with two congressmen from both sides of the aisle and ask them in their parties are ready to make that happen. leland: for the first time we're hearing from the canadian man just released this week, along with his american wife and three children, from five years of brutal captivity in afghanistan. why now his story is raising a lot more questions. elizabeth: strong winds are forcing new evacuations in california's wine country as wildfires rage on. our own will carr is on the ground in napa. >> hey there, liz.

thousands more evacuating right now as the authorities continue to search through the rubble for more victims here in santa rosa. we'll have a live report coming up. ♪ . elizabeth: a devastating story, one of many that we're following. welcome to america's news headquarters from washington, i'm elizabeth prann. leland: and possibly the weather is worse out there in california. we'll go to california in a couple of minutes. nice to be with you at home, i'm leland vittert. president trump giving himself high marks on twitter this morning for his decision to strike down a key provision of obamacare. kristin fisher live on the north lawn of the white house. hi, kristin. >> hey, leland. what we've seen from the white house this week is a systemic dismantling of some of former president barack obama's signature achievements from decertifying the iran nuclear deal to taking the steps to end

the obamacare subsidies, and president trump, he seems to be very happy with all the decisions that he's made this week. he said just this morning on twitter, quote, very proud of my executive order which will allow greatly expanded access and far lower costs for health care. millions of people benefit. now, in taking at that action, president trump did something that often criticized his predecessor of doing, using executive orders to bypass congress incapable of getting anything done. and listen to what he told a crowd of conservative voters hours after the order was announced. >> congress, they forgot what their pledges were. so we're going a little different route, but you know what? in the end it's going to be just as effective and maybe it will be even better. >> now, the white house says that the subsidies were essentially nothing more than an

unconstitutional $7 billion bailout to insurance companies, but democrats, they call the action sabotage and at least 18 states have filed a lawsuit and they say it it will throw the health care exchanges into chaos three weeks before open enrollment and costs for premiums for lower income to skyrocket. >> the g.o.p. blame the affordable care act. they have brazenly changed this, and it's a matter of life and death. >> and president trump did what he threatened to do, he went against the advice of some of his top advisors and went ahead with decertifying the iran nuclear deal. he stopped short of ripping up the deal entirely so now the onus is essentially on congress. now, leland, congress has to deal with the iran deal, health care, daca, and tax reform, all

by december. leland. leland: yeah, and you know the president continuing to push more down on congress. so far, their success rate i think has left the president wanting, shall we say. kristin fisher on the north lawn of the white house. thank you. >> thanks. leland: speaking of congress and congressmen, elizabeth has more. elizabeth: we have a democratic congressman representing us constituents in northern california and california as kristin mentioned is another state that filed a lawsuit on friday challenging the administration. congressman, thank you for joining us. first and foremost, you heard kristin set up both sides, left saying it's sabotage and the right saying it's illegal to begin with. >> take the politics out of it. what it's going to do is give less money for working class families to be able to get insurance and it's going to save $7 billion at a time when the president is proposing 1.5

trillion tax cut for the very wealthy. my concern is the electrician, the carpenter, they're going to feel it. how can we get them health insurance they can afford. elizabeth: when you talk about the people particularly in california, about 50% of those benefit from these cost sharing subsidies. my question is, the insurance companies have had some time to get prepared for this. in fact, it's not going to set anything different, i guess you could say, for the next open enrollment. are you more concerned about the following here? if so, is that the responsibility of the insurance or the federal government? >> well, i'm concerned about the premiums going up because the insurance companies are going to use this to raise the premiums on working families and it's important to understand that this is not for just low income folks, this is for someone

making 40,000, 50,000, working hard and working in construction and manufacturing, they're going to see the insurance companies now raise their rates because the president is unwilling to provide them with some help in buying that insurance. as we know, you know, making 28 billion a year-- >> my question, if you feel the premiums are going up for low income, middle income folks, is that the federal government's responsibility? is that something that the insurance-- critics, supporters of the president say this is not for us to be taking care of. this is for the insurance company,s and other ways to do it and get the democrats to the table. is that something that you're looking at? >> i think there are ways we should be going after the insurance companies. the insurance companies are gouging the american people and overcharging medicare, overcharging reimbursements, making money for themselves and their executives and we should work in a bipartisan basis to cut those insurance costs about you what we shouldn't be doing in the meanwhile is hurting the

hard-working americans who are relying on this insurance who are now going to see an increase in premiums. if this is going to help our deficit, okay, but we're saving at most, $7 billion at a time when the president is proposing tax cuts for, very, very wealthy. elizabeth: then what could be done? for folks at home who are frustrated because they've seen lawmakers not pass anything that's of substantial relating to health care and we've seen many attempts. does this bring democrats to the table? will democrats come to the table and do you forsee a solution? >> and i realize they're frustrated because premiums are going up and we need to solution and there are bipartisan efforts to get a solution. one of the big solutions is to go after the costs. the reason the premiums are going up is because drug companies are charging too much, hospitals are charging too much, and insurance insurance companies are charging too much. they're all making out while average americans are falling behind. and look, we have philosophical differences how to get health

care for all, but what all americans can agree on go after those to bring the premiums down and that's a place where we could have bipartisan consensus. elizabeth: you certainly don't hear any shortage of complaints against the drug companies and pharmaceutical prices. i have to ask you because we only have a minute left, we've been watching the stories come out of california with these wretch wretched wildfires. i know you don't represent some of the folks in napa valley and sonoma who are getting hit hardest. do you have an update for us? >> as i was flying home last night you could smell the smoke landing in the san francisco airport and the stories of elderly couples, one couple i read, 100 years old, 99 who unfortunately passed away and many elderly facing real hardship, i'm proud of our firefighters and they're doing their best, but it's a real tragedy for the state and seems like we've just been seeing one

tragedy after another for our country, but we're a strong state and, i'm proud of our first responders. elizabeth: congressman, thank you for joining us, sir, on this saturday. we appreciate your input. have a nice day. >> thank you for having me back. leland: reaction from other side of the aisle. arizona congressman david schweiker joins us now from scottsdale, arizona. nice to see you as always, sir. thank you. >> no, i appreciate being on. and it's hard to sit here and say, no, that's not how the math works. and the congressman is a good guy, but the math is complicated. the president with his executive order, and on one hand it will change some of the subsidy mechanics to insurance companies, but on the flip side, it may actually create a cascade effect where the subsidies to the individuals, remember, this is only individuals in the individual purchasing market. so, like in a congressional

district like mine it's 2% of my population. the subsidies may increase so much there may be no savings and that's one of the reasons why this is congress's responsibility to step up and deal with this. leland: you make a good point. it's congress's responsibility and if we leave the micro here of exactly what this executive order did as relates to the subsidies, to which you rightly point out only apply to a very small number of people who get their insurance through the exchanges, we zoom out to this issue of congress simply dealing with health care, which fair to say, the house did pass one bill, but the senate has been failing that, rather spectacularly over the past couple of months. does this added pressure make it easier for make it harder to try and force through what undoubtedly for some republicans a tough vote? >> it's actually a brilliant question. first off, it isn't about health

care, it's about health care financing. it's about who pays. leland: so, answer the question. does it make it harder or easier as relates to health care financing. >> for myself i think it makes it easier particularly because if i could get my brothers on the left and right for us to lay everything on the table. i think there's much more in the way of creativity. good example. should a poor person, or any person be allowed to use this to talk to their primary care physician? we're going to have to break down these barriers for competition, for technology, because let's be brutally honest, much of the fight is about the money and a lot of the delivery system, whether it be hospital, surgery centers, doctors. leland: it is about the money. >> they're fighting on reforming and lowering the cost. leland: it is about the money, but also about the politics, especially in your state individually, senator jeff flake is going to be primary, and we've already seen the president

take him on in various points here. how does the confluence now of the 2018 mid terms coming up and congress having to get something done on health care come together? >> oh, brilliant question and here in arizona we've been brutalized in our individual market and that obviously my senior senator was the no vote that stopped our ability to take the legislature to conference committee and finish fixing it. my fear is there's so much bad information, almost make believe information about what is actually in obamacare, the aca, and what we're doing to fix it, it's hard sometimes getting smart people to sit around the table and say, here is the math, here is a solution, but it's really hard to explain politically. leland: even when there is good information, number one, it can be hard to explain. number two. >> yeah. leland: i'm sure you'll agree that good and honest people can have a disagreement on the floss

floss-- philosophy behind it, is health care a right or-- a philosophy, but you heard it, the left keeps just making facts up and you keep holding up your calculator saying, how did you get there? and they just say, well, i feel that way. and it's hard to make public policy that fixes something this complicated when people want to do it by feeling. leland: speaking of feelings, the president's had a lot of them on this issue among others. speak are ryan yesterday asked about the president and his feelings on twitter as relates to taking on fellow republicans. take a listen and then your reaction. >> it's what he does. we've kind of learned to live with it. he and i-- not on this particular version we've had engagement in the past, too. what i'm trying to get the members to do is focus on doing our jobs. leland: what do you need from the president both on twitter

and publicly to help you do your job that he's given you now to pass some form of obamacare, repeal and replace? >> look for nos -- those of us in the house and the senate we eventually have to get the vote and we have to line up enough of our brothers and sisters to vote yes or no depending on the issue. and sometimes when the president is having a twitter war with a member of congress, it's really hard to get that focus up, can you stop engaging in the personality battle and come back to policy. it just, it creates these distractions that, let's says it, are frustrating when you're trying to do big, bold, complicated things. leland: that's a point that you boldly make, sir. we appreciate you coming on. you're out in scottsdale, go get some grand sugar cookies and think on the flight home. >> brilliant. i leave from here and we're going to hike the grand canyon this weekend. leland: enjoy it, a beautiful

place, god's country out there. thank you, sir, we'll talk to you soon. speaking of talking, coming up tomorrow on our show we'll talk to south dakota senator about the president's announcement on the iran deal and we heard from that from kristin fisher. james rosen in for chris wallace. he'll have an interview with hr mcmaster. you will not want to miss this interview. mcmaster a warrior and a scholar, rosen one of the great questioners of all time. check your listings or time and channel and howard kurtz with the latest on the coverage of the harvey weinstein scandal. a lot to break down there. 11 a.m. eastern. >> at least 34 people have been killed by the raging wildfires in northern california. firefighters have made some progress in battling the flames, but the situation is still extremely dangerous. will carr is in santa rosa with the latest. >> hey there, liz.

those fires picked up overnight and we have new evacuations in parts of santa rosa and we've seen how much damage that the fire can inflict. in santa rosa, the fire raced through and crumbled garage doors and burning cars to the ground. we're not just talking one or two homes, we're talking about this entire community across santa rosa, all decimated. and there's actually a sheriff's deputy who's on video racing through the streets trying to save people. take a listen to what he was seeing. >> where are you at? >> right here! come on! >> all right. let me get her feet. >> do not pass. do not pass. >> sonoma county's sheriff's

office mandatory evacuation order order, leave your homes! go, go, go, go, go! drive! go! . leland: intense moments. the death toll now up to 35, but that could continue to go up because there are more than 200 people missing and we spoke with one mom yesterday who got her family out, but her home burned to the ground. take a listen to what she said. >> it's just sad because you lose your home, not only did i lose my house, but i've lost like my kids baby books. they've lost their medical bracelets, i've lost all of their first stuff, all the first newborn clothes all of the stuff that moms collect. >> with the winds picking up, this could be another long day for firefighters on the front line, liz. elizabeth: with the latest,

thank you very much. very sad. leland: all right, coming up, try number four to launch a satellite at cape canaveral. third time wasn't the charm. was the further one >> and a county sheriff remembering the sacrifices of police officers and first responders as vegas prepares to mark two weeks since the shooting there and we hear for the first time from a canadian man who endured five years in horror in afghanistan with his american wife and family before being freed from the taliban. . >> this activity and evil of the pilgrim and his pregnant wife in controlled regions of afghanistan, was eclipsed only by stupidity and evil of murdering my infant daughter as retaliation for my repeated refusal to accept an offer that

the criminal miscreants made to me.

managing blood sugar is a series of smart choices. and when you replace one meal... ...or snack a day with glucerna... ...made with carbsteady... ...to help minimize blood sugar spikes... ...you can really feel it. now with 30% less carbs and sugars. glucerna.

>> high drawlics. >> go. >> range coordinator.

>> not ready due to weather. >> no, fourth is not a lucky number for a group trying to launch a satellite. and it's the fourth time they've had to scrap due to weather and tomorrow they attempt an early morning launch. good luck. >> canadian josh boyle and his canadi american wife are back home after being held captive in afghanistan. he described some of the hardships his family faced in captivity. kitty logan joins us now from london with more details. kitty. >> elizabeth, well, yes, certainly that family is relieved to be home, but from what we're hearing those years in captivity were a horrific

ordeal. when he arrived justin boyle gave detail of his time in captivity including the rape of his wife and children. >> and kidnapping of a pilgrim and his wife, held in regions in afghanistan was eclipsed only by the stupidity and evil of murdering my infant daughter. >> she was pregnant when she was captured along with her husband in the province southwest of kab kabul, an area notorious for kidnappings and they had their children and three more. one child we know now did know the survive and another is said to have health problems, but the family was finally freed back on wednesday, and by the pakistan

military apparently after u.s. intelligence tipped off. they have been moved across the border from afghanistan to pakistan and the pakistan army-- and they say that the army fired at the vehicle they were in. the area is notorious for kidnapping and the u.s. considers it to be a terrorist organization and targeted by forces in afghanistan. and it was a u.s. military hostage team that went out to bring the family home and they're undergoing checks along with their children. there are questions asked why the family risked travelling to that part of afghanistan, especially when caitlin was pregnant. elizabeth: kitty logan with the latest. very sad. leland: tomorrow marks two weeks since the deadliest mass shooting in the united states. they have no idea of the shooter's motive.

and this after hundreds of interviews and one thousand pieces of evidence and of course, dozens of hours of video. on friday, clark county sheriff joe lombardo became emotional talking about the heroic efforts of the police officers that night. >> there's a thousand heroes out there, but i'm going to bring it home to my department and i think it's important for you to hear it. a couple of key individuals i want you to write about. one of them is brady cook. brady sustained a substantial wound to his shoulder, through his biceps into his chest and out his back. and the reason why i bring this one up, he asked me if he could go back to work today. at this point i'm going to thank the community, i want to thank you for letting me be your sheriff and vegas strong. elizabeth: it was so hard not to watch this yesterday and not get emotional, and be captivated.

he was passionate from the beginning and the final touch with the personal note about all of these men and women were risking their lives is unbelievable. leland: he makes a good point. there were a lot of heroes and seeing somebody as stoic as he is, now a couple of weeks later, the emotional toll on not only him, but so many of his men thereunder fire and rescuing people. it's months for them before we know to process it. and this guy probably hasn't slept more than a few hours and recovering. >> he's just starting to go door-to-door and talking to his deputies. a long road for sure. the president announcing he will not recertify the iran deal. critics say that move makes the u.s. less safe. and why the president says the current situation is unsafe. and president trump showing us he's not afraid to use his pen. making major changes to the health care system this week while members of his own party

in congress failed to agree. >> i will sign an executive order taking the first steps to providing millions of americans with obamacare relief. it directs the department of health and human services, the treasury, to increase action to increase competition, increase choice and increase access to lower priced high quality health care options and they will have so many options.

[applause] >> and you all didn't start it, the establishment started it. but i will tell you one thing, you all are going to finish it. elizabeth: president trump also appearing in front of the group on friday. he is the first sitting president to do so although it's not his first appearance. >> president trump this morning claiming victory on twitter as health care stocks crashed on his announcement ending some obamacare subsidies. he wants to pressure congress to finally do something about republican's promise to repeal and replace. kevin cork with us, as some congressmen like to challenge and one might imagine on capitol hill, others pushing back. >> you're right on the money on that. the administration is making it plain and clear, they cannot lawfcannot lawfulfully continue to make

these to prop up obamacare, they're called csr's and you'll hear that in the days coming up. and that's cut off and what the president has done is slash $7 billion to insurance companies. and what's it for, depending on your perspective, subsidize those most in need, or-- >> that money is going to insurance companies to lift up their stock price and that's not what i'm about. take a look at who those insurance companies support, and i guarantee one thing, it's not donald trump. >> that was the president walking to marine one. in the meantime, the attorneys general for new york, california more than a dozen other states, have announced they plan to sue the administration to block the cut off of that critical money to health insurers. back on capitol hill, the debate races on. >> the g.o.p. will try to blame the affordable care act, but they have purposefully,

brazenly, cruelry and spitefully act today sabotage the law and the health care it provides. >> there may be lawsuits, but they're not going to win. in fact, there has been a lawsuit against the obama administration where the court ruled that the payments to the insurance companies were contrary to law, so, the lawsuits, the democrats are blowing smoke, as they say. >> what happens next? well, there's been some reporting and it seems to be born out by the studies that we've seen that at least in the storm, the costs will go up. perhaps even sharply in some cases, that's in the short-term, but it's a matter that will be decided by the courts because the administration says this simply wasn't lawful to begin with and we'll see what the courts have to say about that. back to you, my friend. leland: what the courts have to say and what congress does, and there's a lot of pressure as costs go up. kevin corke, good to see you on a weekend. elizabeth: and others are

reacting to president trump's decision to decertify the landmark agreements. some of them not so happy. the president meanwhile, saying the current path with iran will lead to more violence and terror. and joining me is an analyst with the defense of democracies, thank you for bearing with me, i think i was lost in the title. my first question, he reluctantly decertified it and why change his mind? >> we know that the trump administration was looking for a more comprehensive iran policy review and it seemed to end with the decertifying. the president was able to talk the nuclear threat and the larger threat it poses to other nations. elizabeth: punting it to congress, some say. the ball is in the court of

congress. what can they do? if they put on more sanctions, nuclear sanctions, that could lead to a violation of the agreement. so what can they do going forward? >> the least likely thing for them to do is to issue nonnuclear sanctions which would take the u.s. out of the agreement and seems to be no appetite for that. they could support for the president's designation, to take a tougher line and they goes pass nonnuclear sanctions to target tehran's nonnuclear threats. but the most likely is to try to work with the administration to develop trigger points to amend the jcpoa moving forward. elizabeth: there were two parts that were interesting in the decertification, the first was to investigate any link anna nicole between tehran and pyongyang. and the second one, the designation of rigc. do we need to be talking more about those? >> those are exceptionally

important. the first part, relationship with the pyongyang, these pose problems to the neighbors and united states. tehran owns the ballistic missile arsenal and they said was the largest in the middle east and the late '90 for a medium range missile. if there's any nuclear cooperation between these two rogues, they must investigate and come to light to develop new targets for sanctions in the future. with respects to the guard corps, and washington has been investigating this and finally come to the right decision. the islamic revolutionary guard corps means the definition of terrorism by its being. elizabeth: and critics are unhappy with the designation and heard it from global powers as well. the president doesn't care. why the criticism? >> i can't speak to why the criticism exists. the guard corps through its

entireti entireties target the americans, nonamericans, the rest of the iran population. they're exploiting terror abroad and not only meet the definition, but this is a move to cripple their empire and links to the guard corps under tehran and preventing them from toughing the u.s. financial system. this is long overdue. elizabeth: and many would agree with that. we talked about what congress can do. i'm sort of curious before i let you go, as to your confidence of any change with lawmakers as we move forward or do you think this is something that's going to be stalled? where do you see this going? >> based on open source reporting i think amending the iran nuclear review act is the first step and seems to be the right step. next is to create trigger points to get leverage on the u.s. side. simultaneously washington needs to work closely with europe. iran is looking to divide the transatlantic community, and consensus on ballistic missiles

and sunset clauses that exist. elizabeth: thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me. elizabeth: we had some confusion, but you broke it down for us. leland: still ahead, caught running for a reason. one man's mission to help wounded veterans and how he's doing it and president trump sounding off on national anthem protests before pro football's big sunday game. will the league take a stand with their players after the president's tough words? >> the nfl and the players really have to do the honor of the country, for the honor of the country, they have to respect our country. they have to respect our flag and our anthem. give up, skeletor! you're finished! curse you, he-man, you interfering imbecile! give us one good reason we shouldn't vanquish you to another dimension! ok, guys, hear me out. switching to geico could save you... hundreds on car insurance. huh, he does make a point...

>> the nfl now saying they will not make their players stand for the national anthem this weekend. and they are working on a resolution to the showdown with president trump. but the president doubled down

in his weekly address released this morning. >> before watching a football game, you want to see those players be proud of their country, respect our country, re inspect our flag, and respect our national anthem. and we think they will. we certainly hope they will. >> another man who has been outspoken on his hopes, indianapolis based radio host, tony, good to see you, sir. >> good to see you, leland. leland: where do things go from here? we've had jerry jones with the cowboys and mr. hunt with the kansas city chief take unilateral stand and the rest of the nfl doesn't seem to be willing to do so, at least not yet. your listeners, you, ready to call for a boycott? or not quite ready? >> i don't know where they are on boycott because if you say boycott the nfl, you're not going to be as effective as maybe just saying, here, we're going to pick a sponsor x and that's who we're not going to utilize, a beer sponsor or somebody else.

but i think you hit it right. it's about the owners. where are they in this conversation? you've had spike lee call them plantation owners michael of espn call them plantation owners. where is the nfl to defend the owners against the attack. i think that president trump is speaking for a large swath of america what we think of how people are treating the anthem. why they say it's not anti-patriotic or not is inconsequential, it's how it's taken. leland: take the owners in indianapolis ersay, i believe they pronounce it, owns the colts. has he been silent on this, able to get him on the show or callers are too angry, you couldn't put them on? >> this past week was mayton n manning and a statue in his honor. and they've been silent. and the colt put out statements from the players how they believe in unity and they believe they should quite

injustice, which is fine. i want to fight injustice and they haven't taken a knee in two weeks and i'm doubtful against the titans that they'll take a knee. has jim ursay we shouldn't do this or that, no, the owners have to step up for their fans and answer those questions. >> you make the good point we don't know what he's said to his players behind the scenes, but the cultural issues the president brought up brought up a question in washington where we think that every question we think is important matters. is what it means to be a capital r republican. this is what jerry falwell, jr. had to say on that matter. >> i spoke to the president last week, and i told him, he needs to coin a new term. fake republicans. that's what the people you just named are, they're not really republicans. we don't really have a majority in the senate and i think that would be a good term for him to

start using. leland: the president has been very successful in bringing to a head the issues, the nfl controversy, some other major culture issues that he's brought up on twitter and other places. less successful when it comes to policy. voters in indiana, where they care about more, what's going to make a difference to the mid term? >> they care about policy more in that obamacare, for example, and what the president just did with the executive order with the help of senator rand paul is hopefully going to give them more opportunities. they want to see it gone and realize that everything has gone up for them and they've gotten in the main no upside, but the whole thing upper case r, capital r republican, i think for conservatives they want to see classical labor ral not necessarily class rical republican. you've got to know where department of the is small and efficient and people are allowed to live their lives as they see fit and not held in some weird

serfdom to the federal government. and policy drives, but the cultural things are a much bigger playing field about those who want to control. leland: tony, you know better than i do. we don't run the show with our producers in the year yelling wrap. we'll see you soon. >> tell him i love them. leland: we all do. all right. elizabeth: and getting involved in a gubernatorial race and who is stumping for the candidates just now. and a u.s. marine is running for a new challenge. we'll have that story. >> hi, liz, well, some people hope to get one marathon in in their lifetime. rob jones is completing 31 marathons in 31 cities in 31 days, his remarkable story next. where are we?

about to see progressive's new home quote explorer. where you can compare multiple quote options online and choose what's right for you.

>> i think it's safe to say that many of us would find one marathon to be a challenge, but how about 31 marathons in 31 days? one wounded warrior is doing just that. for more on this incredible story we go to bryan in new york. hi,bryan. >> hi, liz.

well, yeah, rob jones is running 31 marathons in 31 days in 31 cities and he's doing it all to raise a million dollars for three veterans organizations. by the way, he's doing it on two bionic legs. it's a herculean goal and some people train a whole year just to do one. he's doing 31 back to back to back. today he's in central park. yesterday he was in philadelphia. rob served in the marines in afghanistan and iraq for five and a half years. he did two tours, but it was whole he was in hellman province fighting the taliban that it changed. and he was to detect ied's, and in july of 2010 he missed one losing both legs. >> when you're injured it's almost as hard on your family as it is on you, not quite as much, but, i mean, they're devastated yus like you are. it was a little easier for them to accept my injury because of the way that i was handling it and so, from that point on, i

said, well, then i can't, i can't back down from this attitude and so, it was kind of us helping each other. >> and it's that incredible attitude that's sealed his latest charitable efforts for veterans. it started in london on thursday, boston tomorrow, and toronto after that and eventually cross country and ending in washington d.c. on veterans day. his goal is to show people that tragedies and hardships don't have to derail your life, you can use them to make you stronger than before. he hopes to bring awareness to the suicide rate and bring message to veterans and family no matter what hardship they will be a contributing member to society. >> remember who you are, you're a warrior, you went to war and fought valiantly over there. you know, that's still-- it might not feel like it, but that's stul. you're never not going to be a

warrior, you're still there so remember that. >> and an incredible story. he won a paralympic bronze rowing. if you want to help him raise money go to rob jones journey.com. elizabeth: all right, bryan. the latest on that wonderful story. bryan, thank you so much. we hope to spread the word. thanks. leland: and put those links out. and the president on health care and the iran nuclear deal and how it could change the dynamics in d.c. body cam footage as the firefighters race into the northern california inferno, how this weekend's weather could make it worse.

a dose of political star power this weekend. who is showing up for these guys, coming up? >> police body cameras providing an inside look at the heroes trying to save people stuck in the raging wide fires in northern california. we'll have the latest on the deadly situation there. leland: fox news alert. is president trump claiming victory on healthcare stocks falling. he is defunding some and pressuring those in congress to do something. kristen fisher at the white house, as the president is golfing today with lindsey graham. what is the president saying today about his decision to scrap one of president obama's

signature achievements. just another line in the list here for the president of rolling back mr. obama's legacy. >> leland, he said he is proud of his decision and he likes what he's been seeing in the stock market. health insurers, took a plunge in trading on friday. so president trump said, "health insurance stocks that have gone through the roof during the obamacare years plunged yesterday after i ended their windfall." critics say the plunge in stocks will only make premiums skyrocket for average americans. and they argue it will throw the healthcare exchanges into chaos three weeks before open evening ro -- enrollment. democrats have called it sabotage, but this president said that maybe this, a complete implosion of the affordable care act is exactly what it will take to finally get democrats and

republicans to come together and cut a deal on healthcare. >> the democrats should come to me. i would even go to them. i'm interested in one thing, getting great healthcare for this country. that was a big jump. as far as the subsidieser concerned, i don't want to make the insurance companies rich. >> add healthcare to congress's ever-growing to-do list on top of tax reform, immigration and now the iran nuclear deal. leland: the president decertified the iran nuclear deal, kicking it to congress and said if congress doesn't do something, i might. what does that mean? >> the onus is back on congress. they have 60 days to figure out what to do and some senators are working on a fix. you have senators corker, rubio,

cotton, proposing reimposing u.s. sanctions if iran crossing a threshold of producing nuclear weapons. if president trump doesn't like it, he said he will followthrough with his promise to pull out of the deal entir y entirely. >> importantly, iran is not living up to the spirit you the deal. in recognition of the menace of iran and after consultations with our allies, i'm announcing a new strategy to address the full range of iran's destructive actions. i'm directing my administration to work closely with congress and our allies to address the deal's many serious flaws so the iran regime can never threaten the world with nuclear weapons.

>> so this was a big week for the white house. president trump's very pleased with a lot of the decisions that he made this week. leland, what better way to celebrate than by playing golf. he's back at his golf course and playing golf with republican senator lindsey graham. i don't know if you saw his tweets last week, but last week senator graham said that president trump beat him worse on the golf course than he did in the republican presidential primary. leland: we have to go back to the scores on that one. that would be an interesting golf game. kristen fisher, north lawn of the white house, for more insight on everything, including lindsey graham's golf game. you're not up on lindsey graham's golf scores, are you? we can move on from that? >> i wish i had some inside. leland: then we'll get to policy. what do you make of this kick to congress. daca, iran deal, taxes, defense

authorization and we can go on for a minute or two. is there a strategy here or is the president not wanting to deal with things? >> it is a way to turn up the pressure. he knows that republicans will pay the price if they cannot get a victory in the next several months. this is his way of handing republicans in congress several opportunities to do something. they have an opportunity on immigration, to find a fix on daca and push through some responsib responsible on immigration. leland: they have all these things, but healthcare repeal and replace out of the inauguration doesn't happen, failed spectacularly. we're seeing fraction breaks when it comes to healthcare. this is what senator ted cruz said, republican of texas, "the

republicans could face a watergate-level blowout in the mid term election if they don't make strides on healthcare, invoking the political standard that brought down richard nixon's presidency." that's the fear. president trump knows what that is. senator cruz knows what it is. but is that working to get things done? >> it is. the president is taking action now, because he knows that if congressional republicans fail to do something, the republican administration needs to have a victory to claim in 2018 and it may translate to generating republican turnout at a mid term election. i was at a conference with republican conservative donors, and this concern that senator cruz outlined is something they're feeling. they're worried there will not be anything and they will lose control of congress and it's not just something that republicans will gain back a year from now or in the next mid term election

cycle. that they will lose that control for decades. leland: i've heard a lot of donors saying they're angry and may not give for a while, they will not give unless there's deliverables. we had a donor on last week just to that point, especially as it relates to the senate. the president said something interesting, "i'll work with the democrats. i'll even go to them." is that a negotiating tactic or do you think he may pull the same deal on healthcare that he did on debt ceiling limit and keeping the government open and harvey that really angered conservative republicans? >> it's a possibility. if we've learned anything over the course of this presidency, president trump is not ideological. he is willing to work with democrats, even if it frustrates

members of his party. on healthcare, that is something we could see. if democrats are willing to come to the table, as senate minority leader chuck schumer has said they might be, the president has the ball in his court and he's willing to work with them. leland: speaking of what the president is doing out on the golf course. we don't know if there's a bet between the president and senator graham, but this is the second time that they were playing together. it was graham-cassidy the last time for healthcare. lindsey graham was not a fan of president trump during the primary and even during the general. what do you make of this new-found friendship? >> it's an important friendship and one to keep an eye on. lindsey graham stepped in on healthcare, which is a unique issue for him. leland: he's a foreign policy guy. >> right. and now we have the situation with the iran deal. we have immigration coming up. he's been a vocal proponent of comprehensive immigration reform. so i think that he has the president's ear. and that will translate in what kind of policies the president

is pushing. how much? i'm not sure. president trump has been golfing with rand paul recently and rand paul, turns out, he did not support the graham-cassidy bill, even though he established a pretty close relationship with the president. he has a tendency to wine and dine and golf with these senate republicans, but it doesn't always mean that they will get their way. leland: theres with a golf game with senator corker, too, doesn't seem like -- >> great example. leland: gabby, great having you, as always. >> thanks so much. elizabeth: strong winds are fanning the flames and forcing more people to evacuate in northern california. will carr has the latest from santa rosa. >> the fires started raging again overnight, so we have mass evacuations taking parts in parts of sonoma and east santa

rosa, coming after we've seen how brutal the fires can be, destroying this entire neighborhood in santa rosa, more than 5,7 h00 businesses and hom. it crushed garage doors and burned out cars. aluminum wheels were burned. now we have video from a sheriff's deputy who was racing through the streets trying to save lives. take a look at what he was seeing. >> where are you at? >> over here. >> come on. >> let me get her feet. >> do not pass. >> sonoma county sheriff's

office mandatory evacuation order. leave your homes. sonoma county sheriff's office. mandatory evacuation order. leave your homes. go, go, go, go, go! drive! go! >> when you see those images, you can understand how at least 35 people died in these fires. there are more than 70 people missing across this area. yesterday we spoke to one mother that got her family out of this neighborhood but her home did burn down. listen to woman she told us. >> it was super scary because you open the door and the wind is just blowing like crazy, the embers were coming from over here down on to the property. i stepped on a few of them, i'm like, oh, my god. this is happening. i was afraid then. i'm like, it will not survive this. >> we're seeing thick plumes of

smoke. rest of the day depends on the wind. it could be a long day on the ground for the firefighters. liz? elizabeth: thank you for the update. later this hour, we'll get an update on the weather and the impact on the fire. and we'll talk to a man whose business was destroyed by the raging wildfires. in other news, it's been a busy week and it will be another busy week ahead for republican leaders in the senate. lawmakers will take up a budget resolution, seen as a key step to advancing president trump's tax reform plan. for more, chris edwards, director of tax policy studies at t at the cato institute. thanks for joining us uchlt >> thank you. >> we heard from the president and he said, listen, this is equivalent to a $4,000 pay raise for the middle class. we heard of a sound bite where he said, massive tax cuts, massive tax cuts. what are we going to learn this week and are both of them going

to ring true? >> when trump is promising massive tax cuts, i think he's overpromising there. i don't think the amount of taxes you pay on your annual tax filing will drop that much. on the other hand, they're mainly focusing on business tax cuts. those will help to grow the economy and make u.s. companies want to invest here and build more factories and it will lead to higher wages for worksers. elizabeth: is that trickledown economics? some say it's for the upper echelon and it will trickle down and stimulate the economy. >> all american workers are dependent on businesses for their incomes, of course. and the idea here is that if businesses invest more and build more factories they hire more workers and over time it will lead to higher incomes, higher wages. so the focus here should be on

making american businesses more competitive in our global economy. that will lead to higher income and more growth. they're giving two messages. they're giving the growth message, which is the right message, i think. but on promising massive tax cuts for the middle class, i don't think we should be dividing americans up between classes. we should be talking about growth and how it is good for everybody. elizabeth: that was my next question. we hear the three different tiers for impact. there could be a fourth tier. who determines those tiers that they're creating? >> they're trying to -- right now, the individual tax code is complicated. there are seven tax brackets. they want to simplify that. and they do want to drop taxes for everyone across the board. one of the issues now is that folks at the top pay a high

share of the burden, it's almost impossible to cut taxes without cutting for high earners, so it gives the democrats a chance to come in and complain to republicans are cutting for high earners. high-earning people are productive people. they run small businesses, they're entrepeneurs, brain surgeons, these folks earn a lot of money and pay a huge amount of tax. the good news is, if you reduce their taxes, they invest more, work harder and it benefits all of us, frankly. elizabeth: but it's the hardest platform to sell. and you may hear some critical that if you cut taxes for people, period, you will get that criticism. tax reform has not been done since 1986. what level of optimism do you have? >> 50/50. i'm more optimistic than i have been in years. back in 1986, that ronald reagan tax cut was buy -- bipartisan.

problem is, democrats have moved so far left, they don't want to play ball at all. republicans want to cut taxes for everyone and create economic growth and it does benefit all americans. elizabeth: and they need to get that budget through so they don't have to depend on the democrats. we'll see. we hope to have you back. it's kind of confusing we'll get more information this week. it's hard to weed through. leland? leland: be sure to watch our show tomorrow, 1:00 p.m. eastern. we'll talk about the gop tax reform plan with rob portman. and also an exclusive interview with senator chris murphy.

leland: u.s. navy welcoming a new submarine commissioning ceremony held today in connecticut. it can launch tomahawk cruise missiles and will be sent to work with navy seals. senator mike brown attended and will join us tomorrow at 1:00 eastern. lots to talk about there.

elizabeth: big name political figures are campaigning in virginia. garrett tenney is live with are month. >> virginia's gubernatorial race is one of two taking place in november. polling experts will tell you that state races are different from national ones. like most off-year races, the biggest concern is getting voters out to the polls. to do that or help with that, they are bringing in some big names. today here in reston, former vice president joe biden hosted a work force development roundtable with democratic

candidate ralph northam. he said that the democratic leaders at the state level need to step in where the federal government is failing. >> it's the only hope for leadership we have now, is at the state level. i mean, it really is. it really is the only hope we have, number one. someone once said, a guy named bond said this administration is unified by incoherence and incompetence. that's the unifying principle that you are getting. so you have to step up. >> with three weeks to go, the race is expected to be close. it shows northam ahead of ed gillespie by seven points. vice president mike pence will join gillespie at a rally. yesterday on fox news former chairman of the fnc said that

particularly after last year's presidential election, he's feeling confident, despite the polls. >> public polls are not designed to gauge the outcome of an election. they're designed to affect the outcome of the election. we're in a dead-heat race here and i feel momentum everywhere i go. i feel that we will win this race. >> and donald trump tweeted his support for gillespie a week ago. several former presidents are stepping into the race. former president george w. bush will hold a pair of fundraisers for his former employee, ed gillespie. following that, president barack obama will make his first return to the campaign trail since leaving office when he has an event in richmond, virginia. that's on october 19. a lot of folks will be keeping a close eye on that event as far as what he says about president trump there as well. liz? elizabeth: those are big names. garrett tenney on the trail.

appreciate it. leland: changed in an instant. one man vowing to rebuild after fires turned his napa valley winery into this -- a heap of ash. high winds, hot temperatures are not helping at all. more on what the weekend brings. hi, adam. >> unfortunately, looking at bone-dry conditions again across the state, but eventually in the extended forecast, rain is on the way. i will talk about when coming up after the break. loon line

at optum, we're partnering across the health system to tackle its biggest challenges. winds and hot weather are making the fight against california wildfires even more difficult. more on the challenges for first responders. >> things are looking more difficult. everything highlighted here in the pink color, that's elevated fire danger or red flag warning. the air is dry, winds have been strong, and that's continuing into the weekend. here's the forecast the wind gusts. here's where some of the fires are. you do notice windier in portions of southern california, but when you start to see any color popping up here, that means we're getting gusts up to 20, 30 miles an hour.

that's enough to continue to push these fires and allow them to grow. unfortunately, we're dealing with that at least today, perhaps the winds are backing down a little bit in northern california tomorrow. you still see them in southern california, where there are not as many fires, but it's still an issue and an issue where you could see more fires going up because it's so dry and so windy. on top of that, take a look at these temperatures, forecasted highs today. redding. redding up to 83 degrees it's only getting warmer unfortunately. sunday's high back to mid 80s. and then monday's high, upper 80s. incredibly warm, hot. on top of the fires, l.a. getting up into the 90s. so it's staying dry for now. extended forecast all the way to thursday here. from today through thursday, bone-dry. not a drop of rain, but finally we may see something changing on the horizon, continuing to march on. once we get closer to next weekend, we can have a decent,

soaking rain, where we're talking about 2 to 3 inches. any moisture the folks could get would be good news. it's unfortunate that we'll have to wait 5 or 6 days until there is any sign of rain. liz? elizabeth: thank you so much. we're thinking and praying for all the people out there. thank you. leland: and praying for that rain. among those praying, 100,000 people out of their homes and already the fire has destroyed 5,000 homes and businesses including many of the wineries that make napa valley famous and the life blood of the economy. ray signorello is one of them. he joins us now on the phone to share his story. ray, for our viewers to understand, we're showing before and after pictures on the screen that you sent in of what has happened there. was this even a thought on your radar of fire danger or did this

come out of nowhere? >> well, to be honest, we've had some fires in the area before, but nothing to this extent. so my first time hearing about this was sunday night about 10:45. my wife, tanya, was staying at the property. i was out of town. and she frantically called saying there was a fire on the ridge behind us and was approaching the estate. my process is, we've had fires before, but this was something different, fueled by 50-mile-an-hour wind. she ran out the door, grabbed a couple of things with a few minutes to spare. my team showed up, my winemaking and vineyard team showed up to see what they could do. they brought out the hoses. it was no match for this fire. within an hour, it was taken over and the building was reduced to rubble, as you can see from the pictures leland: we've heard that so many times that people tried with hoses and whatever they could, but it was an overwhelming fire.

any part of rebuilding process in a community is the economy. what has happened to the wine economy in napa and you have the wine economy and it mixes with the tourism economy. will it be years before you come back or is there a silver lining to this to pull out of it? >> yeah, i always am looking for a silver lining. a lot of the vineyards were intact. the vineyards act as a fire break. in our estate, we lost almost nothing, a few vines here and there. so that is the fuel, if you will, for the future of the business. and napa valley, it's quiet right now, obviously. tourists are not here. but that's just a temporary situation. as the fires are slowly being put out and, you know, hopefully within the next week, we'll have that mitigated. the place will be back to business. most of napa valley is still

intact. leland: live pictures from sonoma, valley just over from napa, where we're seeing that white smoke just billow and billow and billow. when people are sitting at home, what is it they can do? so many people have such a connection to napa valley, even if they haven't been because they love the wine, they love the feeling, the beauty. those of us that have been, especially to a place like yours that is so magnificent, it's really heartbreaking. aside from buying more of your wine when it's on the shelves, what can be done to help? >> well, don't be scared from the situation. the fires will be put out and we'll -- the napa valley will be back to business, so to speak, as normal in the near future. we see upwards of four million people a year in napa valley. that's the livelihood of all of our businesses here.

the wineries, the restaurants, the hotels, we'll get it behind us and move on to the next chapter. there's a few wineries like mine that have sustained considerable if not total damage, but we can rebuild the buildings. the first thought is, did you have anybody injured? to me, at our estate, we didn't, so that's very important. and then, do we have the means to move forward? in our case, our vineyards are intact. we have our wines that were in the tank that seem to have escaped damage as well as one of our barrel sellers that had the barrels, so we have the wine to sell going forward. most of napa valley is intact. and between the tourism and continuing to support our wines through drinking the wines wherever you might be, that will help us move along. leland: ray, you're a strong man and what a privilege to talk to

you as somebody looking at this in the way you are as we keep watching the fires burn in sonoma now. our thoughts and prayers with you and our support as well over the next couple of years for sure. i'm sure that people will be coming by to see you and say we saw your interview and wanted to come by and say hi. appreciate it, sir. thank you. >> thank you very much. leland: godspeed. liz? elizabeth: still ahead, president trump's decertification of the iran nuclear deal drawing praise and criticism. we'll take a closer look at their reaction. president trump dismantling pieces of obamacare. we'll have a fair-and-balanced panel that will weigh in on the president's executive order. >> we're going to have great healthcare in our country. we're taking a little different route than we had hoped because getting congress, they forgot what their pledges were.

elizabeth: president trump making big moves this week, touting executive orders with healthcare and international agreements. the ball is in congress's court. let's bring in our panel, ted harvey, the committee to defend the president. and former democratic congressman dennis kucinich. thanks for joining us. congressm maman kucinich, a lot people saying it will throw the healthcare into chaos. and also, these are campaign promises, something that people saw coming. what is your reaction? >> well, let's look at the reality here. the president's actions will

result in millions of people paying higher premiums and others being priced out of the market, not being insured anymore. this is a very concerning situation. i personally am for a single-payer, not-for-profit healthcare, but the for-profit healthcare model, and with the president's actions, less people will be covered, premiums will go up, and it's not going to be good for the american people. elizabeth: is it the president's actions or is the onus on the insurance companies when we talk about the premiums? >> well, i appreciate the congressman's rhetoric, but that's ridiculous. what the president has done is allowed small businesses to be able to do what large companies do like g.m. and other large companies that have employees all across the country. they're able to pool together now and lower insurance rates. we're going to lower insurance rates for millions and millions of americans across the country.

this is like rand paul said, the greatest free market reform to healthcare we've had in generations. and that's why this is going to lower insurance premiums and costs for the consumers. elizabeth: you are talking about the fact that they can sell across state lines, correct? >> you bet. elizabeth: congressman, you may have been referring to the executive order no longer supporting cost-sharing payments, correct? >> you have $9 billion in sub stayedies. elizabeth: those are two different things. >> poor people will end up paying more. elizabeth: there's a lot of folks saying, these are the insurance companies, cost of prescriptions. the federal government doesn't have a responsibility to provide these subsidies. am i right >> >> exactly right. why should i subsidize the insurance company for doing their business. these are private companies that should be dealing with the current market the way it is.

and what trump has done, he's brought in free market forces to lower the costs for insurance providers across the country, which will be good for everybody. >> hold on. look, even before this happened, over nine million middle class people will see their premiums go up 20%. their freedom, our premium, going up. >> and why will they go up? why will they go up? because of obamacare. >> it's a for-profit system. >> that's being regulated by obamacare. >> i'm not pro-obamacare. i'm for not-for-profit healthcare. >> congressman, that's ridiculous. the reason why insurance rates are high -- >> what's ridiculous is when people are paying more. >> and it's because of obamacare, that the democrats passed without a single republican vote. and the reason why the american people rose up and threw out the

democrats out of office over the last six years and why donald trump is the president of the united states because the american people realized, yes, congressman, it's ridiculous -- >> they're paying for more premiums. the insurance companies are running this. elizabe elizabeth: i want to give you the last word because the fact of the matter is, something needs to be done. the president said something would be done and i think he had the high expectations having both chambers that it would get done and it wasn't so far. what do you see for the fall and winter? if you sore critical of the executive orders, do you think some of your former colleagues will come to the table and say, we'll compromise? >> congress has missed the boat on healthcare for years. it was more than a dozen years ago john conyers and i came up with a plan that would cover all americans and reduce costs, 1 out of 3 dollars goes for the for-profit system, advertising, marketing, paperwork, doesn't

have anything to do with caring for americans. we need people care, not just healthcare. we need to have a system that really cares for people. we don't have that right now it's all about the insurance companies. >> the american people rejected this socialist utopia that the congressman is talking about. >> i'm an american. i don't know what you are. this is not about socialism. >> what you are proposing is socialism. and that's what the american people rejected. >> that's not true. socialism for insurance companies. elizabeth: i wasn't going to go to that angle. i had another topic, but we didn't get to it, because of the lively debate. thanks for joining us. hope to have you back. >> thank you. >> thank you. leland: the topic wouldn't have been the iran deal, would it? we can get to it. why the israeli prime minister is cheering the iran deal.

leland: president trump's decision to decertify the iran nuclear deal upsetting many world leaders, many, but not the israeli prime minister. john huddy in jerusalem. this played well in israel, huh, john? >> well it, does. there's been positive reaction here, not too surprising, leland. the prime minister benjamin netanyahu put praise on the president's speech saying that he boldly confronted iran's terrorist regime in a speech he called "courageous." and the prime minister added in a recorded statement that if the iran deal is left unchanged, in a few years, iran will have an arsenal of nuclear weapons. the prime minister's statement wasn't a surprise. he's a staunch proponent of president trump. they avenue met several times already since the president took office including most recently, as you may recall, at the u.n.
