are delightful studio audience. i'm greg everyone. julie: president trump delivering a one-two punch to his predecessors landmark legislation on healthcare. i'm julie banderas, good evening, this is the fox report. julie: the president spending the weekend at the white house where he has been very busy the last few days. the president announcing he is ending subsidies paid to health insurance companies which help offset the cost of reducing out of pocket expenses for low income americans. the president also using the power of the pen to sign an executive order allowing the development of lower costs insurance policies that skirt obama care regulations. critics say both moves undermine obama care and could actually send premium prices soaring in the insurance market. the president meantime saying he

hopes his actions will force democrats to come to the bargaining table. >> what would be nice if the democratic leaders could come over to the white house, we will negotiate some deal that's good for everybody. that's what i'd like. but they are always a block vote against everything. they are like obstructionists. >> kristen fisher is live from the white house with more. kristen, how are insurers and hospitals responding to this news? >> well, julie, they don't like it. and today several hospital associations and insurers like blue cross blue shield, they signed a letter to congress begging them to keep this from happening. they say that millions of americans are going to face much higher premiums or worse, if they don't do something. but you know, president trump, he said for months that these subsidy payments are nothing more than a bailout for insurers, and so far he likes the response in the market. he said today on twitter, quote, health insurance stocks which

have gone through the roof during the obama care years plunged yesterday and i ended the dems windfall so president trump is hoping that by taking such drastic action, that he will force republicans and democrats to finally come together and cut a deal on healthcare, but remember, congress already had a ton do before december, julie, and now he's added healthcare and of course the iran nuclear deal to their to do list as well. julie: speaking of the iran deal, now that president trump has decertified it, what happens next? >> so congress now has about 60 days to figure out what to do. democrats of course have opposed the decertification. most republicans supported it. and many republican senators, senator bob corker, senator marco rubio, they are already working on a fix that they claim will address the flaws in the iran nuclear deal without getting rid of it entirely. at the same time, some senators like senate majority leader mcconnell are facing an outright

declaration of war from former white house strategist steve bannon. listen to what he said at the values voters summit, a gathering of conservative voters here in washington just a few hours ago. >> i don't know if you're watching today, i don't know if you're watching, or you maybe have your staff, but if i can take a little rift on shakespeare, up on capitol hill, because i have been getting calls, it is like before -- right? the only question and this is just an analogy or metaphor or whatever you want to call it, they are looking to find out who is going to be to your julius caesar? >> he is promising a quote unquote season of war at the same time that the republican establishment is trying to tackle these major, major issues from healthcare, immigration and now tax reform and the iran nuclear deal, julie, a lot to

deal with. julie: a lot on the plate, kristen fisher, thank you. white house national security advisor mcmaster sits down for an exclusive interview on fox news sunday. he will join james rosen to discuss the president's strategy for iran and north korea. he will have an update on the travel ban and that debate. you can catch that interview tomorrow right here on the fox news channel. check your local listings for times. three more deaths confirmed as officials survey the damages left behind by the northern california wildfires. officials announcing at least 38 people have died in the flames. and the fires have been tearing through wine country for nearly a week. and they are not over forcing thousands of people to evacuate from their homes so far. fire crews saying searching for missing people has taken quite a toll on rescue crews. >> we still have over 300 missing people so we want to get to targeted searches of known missing persons and known addresses. we're not going to give ourselves a time limit but we're going to find every missing

person that gets reported. julie: will carr reports from santa rosa, california. let's start with the conditions. how are they doing now? >> good evening, julie. the winds have stayed relatively calm. that's good news for the firefighters on the front lines tonight, but we want to show you the extent of the devastation so far. you can see a picture of what this street corner looked like before these fires, but when you walk up here, i want to show you what they look like now. it looks like a bomb went off throughout this community. a little bit earlier today, governor jerry brown took a tour of this area. he says help is on the way. take a listen. >> this is truly one of the greatest if not the greatest tragedy that california has ever faced. the people, the police, the fire, elected officials, neighbors, volunteers, it's a real example of how america pulls together. >> while the fight continues on the front lines, we're continuing to hear stories of heroism including the first

responders who raced through these streets trying to save lives. take a listen to one deputy as he was going door-to-door. >> sheriff's office! where you at? >> come on! >> she's disabled. >> let me get her feet. >> don't pass. 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! >> that video showing just how intense the moments were when that fire raced through this community and many people only had seconds to try to survive. julie? julie: is insurance going to cover all of the catastrophic damage these people have suffered? >> that's a bit of a silver lining. we have learned about 90% of the

residents who had their homes destroyed will be covered by insurance, but when you come out and you talk to the people who managed to come back in, they talk about the possessions that they lost, that won't be covered by insurance, the baby albums, so many personal possessions that cannot be covered by any monetary value, and at the same time, julie, authorities are very concerned out here about looters. hard to believe when you look at what's left out here, but we have seen authorities tell us that some people have come up, they have tried to get into gun safes. they have been arrested. a handful of arrests for looting and authorities say they have zero tolerance for anybody trying to take advantage of this situation. julie? julie: with regard to insurance companies, i have to ask you something i heard about today, that somebody who i know personally had been in contact with a family unfortunately a 90-year-old and her caretaker both dead, and the family can't actually claim them as deaths because their bodies were so badly damaged and undis

coverable basically that they have been deemed missing and a lot of families are having to deal with this horrible tragedy and reality. what is being done or said for these families who are in this sort of crisis? >> it is a painstaking process for everybody involved. as we speak, cadaver dogs are going property by property, i mean you can see how hot this fire was. authorities tell us that many of the remains were simply ash and bones. so trying to identify these people is going to take a while. they have to use dental records or in some cases actually use medical devices that people have to identify them. once they are identified, then they start going through the process that you are describing, julie, but they still have several hundred people who are still missing. they don't know what happened to them necessarily. so they are still trying to figure out exactly what the final death toll will come out to. julie? julie: simply tragic. will carr, thank you. fox news alert now, the

white house weighing into the gubernatorial race in virginia. vice president pence right now speaking in virginia to support the republican candidate ed gillespie after his predecessor joe biden was also there to campaign for the democratic challenger ralph northam. if there's any news, we will bring it to you. the academy motion pictures arts and sciences expelling em battled producer -- em battled producer harvey weinstein amid mounting allegations of sexual harassment and assault. bryan llenas is following this story. >> very strong words and with action the governors for the academy motion pictures of arts and sciences which hosts the oscars called for an emergency meeting this afternoon to discuss weinstein's lifetime membership. they had the option of suspending him or expelling.

the academy chose to expel weinstein entirely. in a statement leased today the academy -- in a statement released today, the academy saying quote: >> after that we know that 21 of the 54 members on this board are women, including all of the board's vice presidents, tom hanks and whoopi goldberg are also members of the board all of this comes after the onslaught of sexual harassment and assault allegations by more than 30 women including actresses jolie and paltrow, a litany of accusations from women of rape, groping, unwanted sexual

advances to employees actors and models. weinstein has not denied the allegations. he has apologized and says he is now in therapy. >> how significant is this decision? >> it is big because it is the only second time a person has been expelled by the academy but also example of hollywood taking action after years and rumors of weinstein. actors continue to distance themselves from him. this is hollywood's governing body. bill cosby is still a member of the academy facing sexual allegations in court so is roman polanski, the director arrested and charged for raping a 13-year-old girl. he's a fugitive and fled to france. both are still members of the academy. so more soul searching by hollywood as the academy's board says today it is working to establish ethical standards of conduct for its members. julie: so basically now the academy chooses to be

politically correct when the rumors have been swirling for decades that he's been harassing actresses and now they are stepping up. >> i think most of hollywood is being forced to act. it is not just the board obviously. but you have actors, directors, quentin tarantino a enough has been shown and he hasn't denied the allegations so they have to do something. at least they are expelling him and taking this step. we will see what more can be done. >> thank you very much. >> of course. a deadly car bombing in the capital of somalia leaving at least 20 people dead. who might be responsible for this attack. plus the world reacts to the president's decision to decertify the iran nuclear deal. >> this should have been done a long time ago. the iranian revolutionary guard has been up to this stuff for -- forever i mean long before 9/11. and they support everybody that's, you know, death to america, death to israel. maria is confident. but when it comes to mortgages, she's less confident. fortunately, there's rocket mortgage by quicken loans. apply simply. understand fully.

injuring 15 others. a car bomb debt nailing outside a -- detonating outside a hotel close to the foreign ministry. the blast sending thick plumes of black smoke into the air visible from miles away. officials say the explosion heavily damaged the safari hotel and they believe some people may be still buried in the building's rubble. so far no one has claimed responsibility, but al shabab a group linked to al qaeda is known for carrying out deadly bombings like this one. president trump announcing he will decertify the iran nuclear deal giving congress just 60 days to decide whether or not it will slap economic sanctions back on tehran. meantime the president also leaving the door open to the possibility of completely pulling out of the agreement. all of it if congress doesn't reach a solution. the president decision putting the u.s. at odds with other countries who are part of the accord like britain, france and germany. it is also not sitting well with

iranian president who responded by saying this: our weapons, our missiles, our defense, we have always been determined to defend and today we are more determined. we have always been trying to make weapons we needed and from now on, we'll multiply our efforts. john huddy has more from jerusalem. >> iranian president warns that the u.s. he says is now more isolated than ever, following president trump's speech and his decision not to recertify the iran nuclear agreement and likewise other world leaders and countries are also critical of that decision with the exception of one key u.s. ally, israel. >> i congratulate president trump. >> israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu praised the president's speech calling it quote courageous. he said president trump boldly confronted iran's terrorist regime while adding that if the iran deal is left unchanged in a few years iran will have an

arsenal of nuclear weapons. prime minister netanyahu has been a staunch proponent of president trump also calling the president u.n. general assembly address last month bold and courageous while agreeing with president trump's description of the iran nuclear deal as a quote embarrassment. officials with the u.k. france and germany however said that the iran agreement is quote in our shared national security interests and the eu's foreign policy chief said it was not up to any single country to terminate a working deal. last night and today, president trump's speech led the news and headlines in iran. iranian president hassan rouhani agreed that it is not up to the u.s. alone to terminate the agreement, further he maintained iran will continue its missile program, adding this. >> translator: the iranian nation is not a nation that will yield to fulfill talking and hateful speeches from a dictator. the iranian nation will not surrender to any nation.

>> more strong words and rhetoric from the regime of a country that president trump says has two favorite chants: death to america and death to israel. and a country that has the ability to fire missiles within striking distance of israel. julie? julie: john huddy, thank you. the u.s. led coalition with a daring plan in syria, how they plan to rescue civilians caught in an isis stronghold. plus a family kidnapped by the taliban is back in canada. details of the five horrifying years they spent in captivity. >> it was incredible, you know, i have been waiting to hear that voice for so long and to her her voice and have it sound exactly like the last time i talked to her.

mom, i just saved a lot of money on my car insurance by switching to geico. i should take a closer look at geico... you know, geico can help you save money on your homeowners insurance too? great! geico can help insure our mountain chalet! how long have we been sawing this log? um, one hundred and fourteen years. man i thought my arm would be a lot more jacked by now. i'm not even sure this is real wood. there's no butter in this churn. do my tris look okay? take a closer look at geico. great savings. and a whole lot more.

julie: the american backed coalition in syria is reportedly working hard to get civilians out of an area held by isis. the washington post reporting buses will be taking innocent people and possibly some isis militants. isis fighters will not be allowed on the buses. but the city officials say the deal would allow the terrorists to leave the city with the civilians. family is back in canada five years after taliban militants kidnapped them in afghanistan. joshua boyle says his wife caitlan coleman gave birth to four children while they were held. he says terrorists killed one of their children. kitty logan mass more on this story from -- has more on this story from london. >> the couple and their three children are reuniting with family members in canada and getting the medical checks they badly need. joshua boyle has been talking about their time in captivity. he says he and his wife caitlan

coleman suffered a horrific ordeal during their five years of hostage. coleman was already pregnant when the couple was captured while backpacking in afghanistan in 2012. she gave birth to four children while held prisoner. boyle claims one of their children was killed by tlar their captors -- by their captors. he also says his wife was raped. the family was finally rescued by the pakistan military last wednesday apparently after a u.s. intelligence tip-off. they had been moved across the border from afghanistan into pakistan and were being moved again when the pakistani security forces intervened. their captors were from a network, an extremist group notorious for kidnapping. the u.s. has designated this network a terrorist organization. but there are questions being asked as to why this couple traveled to this extremely dangerous part of the world

alone, also given that caitlan was already pregnant. julie? julie: kitty logan, thank you. a veteran is on a mission to help fellow military members wounded on the battlefield. >> remember who you are. you're a warrior. you went to war. and you fought valiantly over there. and you know, that's still -- it might not feel like it, but that's still -- you are never going to not be a warrior. you are still there. remember that. >> remember this guy's name, rob jones, right there on his t-shirt. we will tell you how he is making a difference, one step at a time. plus the president taking healthcare into his own hands after republicans failed to seal the deal on obama care repeal and replace efforts. how his decision could actually impact healthcare for millions of americans. in the near future. ♪ hungry eyes ♪ one look at you and i can't disguise ♪ ♪ i've got hungry eyes ♪ applebee's 2 for $20.

julie: i'm julie banderas, the fox report, bottom of the hour, healthcare is once again dominating the headlines with president trump taking steps on his own to enact sweeping changes to the system. lawmakers on the other side of the aisle, criticizing the move saying it will throw the healthcare exchanges into chaos, just three weeks before open enrollment. >> republicans have been doing everything they can for the last ten months to inject instability into our healthcare system and to force collapse through sabotage. julie: meanwhile the president is throwing down the gauntlet

for democrats, literally challenging them to meet in the middle with a plan. white house correspondent kevin cork has more from washington. >> indeed more political intrigue here at the nation's capital as the trump administration has now declared it cannot lawfully continued so called cost sharing reduction payments otherwise known as csr's so it is going to end that practice entirely and that is a major development because in doing so, the president's decision slashes some 7 billion dollars in payments to insurance companies, meant to depending on your point of view either subsidize care for those who are 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 you one thing, it is not donald trump. >> meanwhile, the attorneys general for the states of new york, california, and more than a dozen other states have all decided to sue the trump administration in an effort to

block the cut-off of those critical obama care payments to health insurers. back on capitol hill, the debate rages on. >> the g.o.p. will try to blame the affordable care act, but they have purposefully brazenly cruelly and spitefully acted to sabotage the law and the healthcare it provides. >> there may be lawsuits but they are 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 if they say they are going to sue. >> okay, julie, this is what happens next. this is obviously a battle that will continue to be waged on capitol hill as congress tries to weigh in on the pathway forward. keep this in mind, though, and i think this is fairly important, because the csr's at least for now have been temporarily suspended, a number of insurers could ultimately choose to exit the marketplace if those cost-sharing payments are not reintroduced. we also know that as long as the

president's decision stands, at least in the short-term, the cost for some of these plans will go up for consumers and in some cases, julie, rather sharply. back to you. julie: kevin cork, thank you. for more on this let's go to alex bolton sr., staff writer for the hill. thank you very much alex for talking to us. all right, so the cost-sharing subsidies i want to talk about that. about 12,000 to $30,000 a year for an individual. president trump says he doesn't want to help insurance companies get rich but by doing so, is he hurting the poor? >> well, not so much the poor, but as the upper middle class because as the premiums for the poor go up, as long as you are eligible for the subsidies, your federal subsidy will go up, so the people who get hurt are the people who aren't eligible for these federal subsidies, they are not getting the premium assistance through these cost sharing reduction subsidies and

they are not eligible for the subsidies that -- in the forms of tax credit and other subsidies that keep those costs manageable for poor people so it is those people who have a little bit more money and aren't eligible for the sliding scale subsidi subsidies. they are the ones that will be hurt the most. julie: okay. everybody is being hurt by these rising premiums it doesn't matter who you are, if you are under obama care you either can't afford them or about to get hit really hard come january let alone open enrollment which is weeks away. by cutting off critical payments to health insurance companies, president trump now puts a major ratchet in congress's plan. i mean, basically the question is does this obama care subsidy create now a problem for republican lawmakers? >> it depends who you talk to. but even, you know, leadership aides acknowledge that it could be a problem. however, they think it is a bigger political problem if something isn't done about obama care because it was a promise

they made for seven years. they failed as you know to pass legislation in july and again in september. they are more worried about motivating their base. you know, we're facing a midterm election, 2018, where usually the turnout is down, republican base turnout is going to be very important for them to keep those seats. that's really whom they are looking at. in terms of who will be hurt the most, i mean look at the costs here. i mean cbo projects 194 billion dollars over the next decade is going to have to come out of the federal coffers to pay for more hefty benefits to make up for the loss of these cost-sharing subsidies, these cost-sharing reduction subsidies. julie: the cbs actually said -- the cbo actually said in august if cost sharing subsidies were cut off that premiums would shoot up to 20% next year. >> uh-huh. julie: the president doesn't want to see people obviously not be able to afford insurance. the whole point is this he wants to be able to number one make health insurance more affordable and number two, not make the insurance companies richer than they already are.

it sounds to me like this is a negotiating tactic set up by the president to get the republicans to finally step up to the plate and get the job done that they promised and failed to do and that's repeal and replace obama care. i mean is this a tactic that the president is using like he did when he sit down with nancy pelosi and chuck schumer over daca? he got the democrats to come to the table. >> absolutely it is a tactic. what he has said is it would be good if the democrats came to the white house and cut a deal on obama care. republicans he's certainly lighting a fire under them to come up with a deal to figure out to fund these cost sharing subsidies and come up with other reforms he wants such as waiver flexibility for the states but it is a dangerous game the president is playing. he is betting on congress that they will be able to deliver something and having covered congress closely over the last decade, they don't get a whole lot done. he's rolling the dice. if he gets the democrats to do something and if he gets the republicans to come together, if he gets a deal, he will be hailed as a genius. what we have seen more recently

is that congress doesn't get things done. so if -- julie: the president feels like he has no other choice but to go ahead and implore his executive power. >> well, you know, yes, and he's doing that, the problem, is though, i think, that, you know, what he's using as leverage are the american people. i mean the people who are going to see the premiums go up 20, 25 percent, he's betting that congress will want to step in and save those people and not allow that to happen, and maybe he's right. maybe that will work. maybe he will get a deal, but i guess it's a risk and there could be a lot of instability in the marketplace, turbulence in the marketplace because of the uncertainty. julie: some would argue that something drastic needs to be done, maybe not something predictable but something drastic needs to be done in order for congress to finally act. maybe that's what this is. we will have to leave it there. thank you very much. alex bolton, appreciate you coming on. >> thanks for having me. julie: vice president pence traveling to virginia to throw his support of the white house behind the g.o.p. gubernatorial

candidate there as he faces strong opposition from his democratic rival, so can the trump administration really help in a state that voted blue back in november? plus, the equifax security breach hitting millions of americans putting their personal information in jeopardy. what the white house is now trying to do to make it harder for hackers in the future.

how much money do you think you'll need in retirement? then we found out how many years that money would last them. how long do you think we'll keep -- oooooohhh! you stopped! you're gonna leave me back here at year 9? how did this happen? it turned out, a lot of people fell short, of even the average length of retirement. we have to think about not when we expect to live to, but when we could live to. let's plan for income that lasts all our years in retirement. prudential. bring your challenges.

julie: the white house weighing into the gubernatorial race in virginia. vice president pence in virginia to support the republican candidate. this just hours after joe biden was also there to campaign for the democratic challenger. as polls show, the candidates are virtually tied heading into the november 7th election. garrett tenney is joining me now from washington. garrett, there has been a lot of big names coming to virginia for this race. it's a big one. >> yeah, julie, this is really the first big competitive election that we've had since president trump won last november. so a lot of folks are viewing it as a potential referendum on president trump's first year in office, and as a bellwether weather for what -- and as a bellwether for what next year's midterm elections will look like. many will tell you not to draw

conclusions because state elections are different than national ones but both major parties are sending in the big ones to try and win this key swing state. joe biden hosted a roundtable for the democratic candidate and current lieutenant governor ralph northam. biden said the trump administration has created a leadership void in the country and that democrats need to step up to fill it. >> you've got to win for two reasons. one, to give everybody hope. give people hope that we are not falling into this sort of no nothing pit here. >> and former rnc chairman ed gillespie is getting a vice presidential boost of his own with vice president mike pence. that rally in a rural town in the southwest part of the state just kicked off a little bit ago with the vice president sharing this message. >> i'm here because i stand with president donald trump.

i stand with ed gillespie for all virginians. >> as of right now there aren't any plans for the president to hit the campaign trail with gillespie but with three weeks to go that could still certainly happen. this next week though a pair of former presidents will be making their way to virginia, president george w. bush is headlining a coup of fund-raisers -- couple of fund-raisers for gillespie. and president obama will return to the campaign trail for northam. >> how close is this race? >> it could still go either way. northam has been leading in the polls. this latest real clear politics average has him about 7 points ahead of gillespie, that is still well within the margin of error. like most off year elections though the biggest challenge for both candidates will be actually getting voters to turn out on election day and that's why you're seeing all of these big names coming in to help get their bases out and voting. julie? julie: garrett tenney, thank

you. the trump administration is exploring new ways for americans to identify themselves outside their social security numbers. it comes on the heels of the revelation that hackers breached security at equifax, a major credit reporting agency, and that hack actually exposed the social security numbers of 143 million americans. doug mcel way has the rest of the story. >> this social security measure gives at least some protection to millions of our citizens. >> more than 82 years later president roosevelt could not have imagined the lack of protection inherent in the social security card. the nine digit number has become a defactor national id something it was never intended to be. the recent equifax breach of 145 million social security numbers reveals its vulnerabilities in the digital age.

>> i personally know my social security number has been compromised at least four times in my life. >> once it's been compromised its rightful owner has to go through troubles and time to claim stolen identity. the nine digits are meant for life. in the world of the internet, thieves also run free. >> do you have any clearer sense today of who is behind it, a nation state or a criminal organization and what the motive was? >> yeah, i don't have a good sense. >> don't have a good sense. >> one option to replace the social security number, a fingerprint or scan. no two humans have the same. but the scans are not full proof. >> even though it is a part of me and is unique to me, if it is digitized, then the potential for it to be compromised and then reused exists. >> other options include a public private key or token not unlike a chip credit card, that tiny chip would contain a huge number of virtually unhackable. the user would only need a pin or pass word to unlock it.

if compromised, a new card with new numbers could easily replace it. another option is new technology called block chain, a network of many computers where data is transmitted and stored simultaneously and securely, each fact checking the other with algorithms that cannot be controlled by any one device nor compromised at any one point of failure. the white house is now just beginning the process of moving towards a new social security numbering system that is safer. the administration cybersecurity coordinator is asking all federal agencies to offer input on replacing the present system. in washington, doug mcelway, fox news. >> thank you. a veteran is taking on new challenges now that he is back home. >> i'm fighting the battles of veterans that come home and struggle, and so that's how i'm staying in the fight. that's how i'm continuing to fight america's battles. >> we are going to share with you the inspiring story of a man who is taking an amazing journey with two prosthetic legs.

plus more than 16 years after 9/11, those who survived are still struggling. so now there's a fund set up to help them financially but has it really made a difference? we will find out, next. welcome! how's it going? hi! okay, so you've got two friends here. yes. this is the j.d. power award for dependability. now i want you to give it to the friend that you think is most dependable. ohhhh. ughh. wow.
