>> you're exactly right. nine days left in lent. have a great weekend and spend it with your family and friends. we're getting out of here. >> "happening now" starts right now. >> a fox news alert and the dow is clawing its way back from yesterday's 700-point drop. take a look at wall street. up 123 points right now. the plunge yesterday came as president trump announced billions in new sanctions on chinese imports. that created a domino effect all around the world. markets in europe and asia began to slump. china is fearing back now proposing tariffs of its own against the united states. and on this friday morning, president trump is getting push-back from within his own administration over the threats to throw a major wrench into

efforts to pass a massive spending bill before tonight's shut down deadline. it's passed. he's got to sign the thing. good morning. welcome to "happening now." i'm jon scott and i'm julie banderas. we begin in washington. president trump said he made veto the sweeping $1.3 trillion omnibus spending bill over immigration issues, including funding for his long-proposed and promised border wall. and of course, a fix for the daca program, which wasn't included in the final version of the bill. so what could a veto mean for lawmakers? john roberts joins us now from the white house with the very latest. john, what is going on? >> julie, good morning to you. you weren't far off. you could call this an omni mess now. to say the white house was blindsided by a tweet the president sent out would be an understatement threatening to veto the bill. two days ago, the president

signed off on everything that was in and not in the bill. his budget direct or the, mick mulvaney, who is as close to the president as anyone, insisting yesterday in an on-camera briefing that the president was going to sign it. listen here. >> the president going to sign the bill? the answer is yes. why? because it funds his priorities. we've talked for the last -- i don't know -- three, four, five, six months and trying to get the president's priorities funded. this omnibus bill coast that -- does that. is it perfect? no. is it exactly what we ask for? no. we were ever going to get that? no. that's not how the process works. >> this morning the president threw a hand grenade saying i'm considering a veto on the omnibus bill saying the 800,000 daca recipients have been

abandoned and the border wall, desperately needed for national defense is not fully funded. the president knew that two days ago. that tweet blew up the pentagon and the white house. figuratively speaking here. defense secretary james mattis was on the phone trying to talk him out of the idea, stressing the military would lose all of the big increases they scored in the omnibus bill. mattis has been complaining to the president for months and months the incessant series of continuing resolutions have been strangling the pentagon. the president getting some support from some of his republican colleagues in the senate. senator bob corker in a tweet saying please do, mr. president. i'm just down the street and we'll bring you a pen. the spending levels without any offsets are grotesque, throwing all of our children under the bus, totally irresponsible. corker and the president don't agree on a lot. senator rand paul saying that

president trump should veto this sad excuse for legislation because it's $1.3 trillion in spending that almost no one read. the prevailing view around washington is that it would be a political disaster for the president to veto this bill because there's no question the government would shut down and with most members of congress out of town and congress in recess, the government would be shut down for days and the sole responsibility for that would fall on the president's shoulders. i talked to a lot of republicans on capitol hill what they think is going on here is the president is just trying to get some political distance from some of the things he doesn't like in the bill and remind people of things that are not in the bill and hold his nose and sign it before he takes off to mar-a-largo this afternoon. julie, one other thing bubbling up again today, the pending departure asker with hearing of v.a. secretary david shulkin. this was on a hot boil last week. went down to a cool simmer. but now it's boiling up again.

hearing various reports from sources that we're talking to that he could be gone today and maybe not for a few days. julie? >> okay. we'll stay on top of that and the omni mess. thanks, john. >> thank you. >> jon: new information now on the latest national security shakeup. president trump replacing national security adviser h.r. mcmaster with former u.n. ambassador john bolton. known for his hard-edged views on foreign policy. bolton's appointment is drawing mixed reaction from lawmakers. for his part, ambassador bolton says even if the president doesn't agree with his stance, the goal is to prevent a united front. >> i think the national security adviser, the president wants to hear his opinion, will give it as well. that is one side of the corn. the other side of the coin is when the president makes a decision, the national security adviser is, among others, but

one of the leading implementers of the decision. making sure the bureaucracies out there get the decision and implement it. >> jon: joining us now, glen hall, the chief editor and watching john bolton a long time. what does he bring to this position? >> he's brings more alignment with the president's agenda. he's the same outspoken person that gets to the point and doesn't mince words when it comes to making clear what he expects to happen. >> jon: i spoke to him on this program on wednesday, the day before his appointment was announced. one of the things he said is that in his view, a preemptive strike on north korea is within international law. is that in the cards here? >> he spilled it out recently in an op-ed. his fear is that they wait they

demonstrated they have the nuclear capacity to reach the united states, it's too late. he built the case around the need to defensively preemptively stop that from happening. >> the democrats are none too happy. here's what bernie sanders tweeted. he said john bolton was part of the effort to mislead the u.s. into the disastrous iraq war and has supported military action against north korea and iran. he was too extreme to be confirmed in 2005 and the wrong person to be national security adviser now. it doesn't seem like the ambassador has too many friends on that side of the aisle. >> certainly not. he represents a more hawkish point of view. he is somebody that definitely agrees with the president that military and political assertiveness is what the united states should be demonstrating on a global stage. there's many that feel like that is not the kind of policy that is needed right now. it's certainly opposite of the kind of policy approaches taken by the obama administration that many democrats supported. >> jon: so as we get ready or

the president gets ready for this summit meeting with the north koreans and kim jong-un, the timing of this announcement is interesting. >> it's significant because of the things that mr. bolton has said about north korea. you know, he's been clear after the talks were announced that he thinks north korea is just trying to buy time to keep going with their nuclear weapons. he's very likely to say we're not going to put up with that. either the meetings have substance or we're not coming. >> the minority leader in the u.s. senate chuck schumer not a fan. he writes mr. bolton's tendency to try to solve every problem with the military is a concerning one. i hope he's tempers himself when we need to be focusing on building the middle class here at home. you know, iran is another issue on which ambassador bolton has been quite outspoken.

you get his sense that the president wants to tear up that iran deal. >> the presidents hasn't been a big fan to the deal. he asked his national security adviser to be that agrees with him. that's it's a bad deal and it will be thrown out. you can expect it to be the direction it goes. >> jon: it's fascinating to see what is happening at the white house. we'll watch it. thanks, glenn. julie? >> a deadly hostage situation in france ending with the gunman killed and shot by police. authorities are now saying three are dead and nearly a dozen are hurt. police not naming the suspect yet. france's interior minister describing the person as a petty criminal. six shots were fired before heading into a nearby supermarket and taking hostages. the french president says evidence suggested this was a

terrorist attack. there's reports the gunman has claimed allegiance to isis but authorities have yet to confirm. stay with us as we continue to follow this developing story. >> we're continuing to follow the pulse nightclub shooting trial. the defense will present its case monday. noor salman is pleading not guilty to charges that she knowingly helped her husband. the defense claims government officials offered insufficient evidence that salman obstructed justice. her attorney says she was not near the club before the attack. >> and a fox news alert. zell miller has died at the age of 86. his grandson saying his grandfather passed away peacefully following treatment

for parkinson's. u.s. senator zell miller has died at the age of 86. new disturbing video showing the las vegas gunman's actions before the deadly massacre. were there any missed signs? where does the investigation stand today? we'll tell you. the president's lawyer resigns. so what is causing john dowd to step back and what happens next? >> what i have seen is a president who gets fixated on the investigation and he says things that create legal issues for him. i want him to be successful. these tweets do have legal consequence.

pushing a cart unaware that the bags were loaded with guns and ammunition. stephen paddock and the employee appeared to be having a casual conversation. paddock reportedly brought in 21 bags over the course of a week to mandalay bay. soon after this episode was filmed, paddock opened fire on a crowd at a country music festival killing 58 people. >> the president's lawyer is resigning. that news breaking yesterday. john dowd saying that it is because the president won't take his advice. dowd doesn't want the president sitting down with robert mueller's team. but the president wants to do that. >> this is significant. we're ten months into the investigation. there's a lot of negotiations back and forth led by john dowd as to whether or not the president will sit down for an interview with mueller and his team. so now it's unclear what the next step will be because basically the point person, the lead negotiator and point of

contact is no longer calling the shots. >> julie: joining me now, robert driscoll. thanks for talking to us. >> thanks for having me. >> julie: these two have left on good terms. dowd has said, i love the guy and i wish him well. he wants him to succeed but he's still resigning. a change of the guard, so to speak, this far into an investigation is critical, not to mention unusual for an attorney whose role is so prominent in a case in the thick of an investigation like this one. so what does dowd's resignation mean? >> it's a good reminder for all of us that are practicing lawyers, at the end of the day, the client calls the shots. we provide our best advice and we wish they follow it and sometimes they don't. although it's frustrating, that's their right. apparently things got to the point where it sounds like if

you're intro report is correct, dowd thought that his advice wasn't going to be followed, the president needs to find an attorney to go in a different direction for him if that's what he wants to do. so i guess the president is right to change horses mid stream if he wants and to make the final decision whether or not the interviews with mueller or not. >> julie: i'm wondering what happened the last two weeks. 12 days ago, the president tweeted this about his legal time. i want to read it. the failing "new york times" purposely wrote a false story stating that i am unhappy with my legal team on the russia case and i'm going to add another lawyer to help out. wrong. i'm very happy with my lawyers john dowd, ty cobb and jay sekulow. they're doing a great job. what happened in the last 12 days? >> it's hard to know. the president i think is tempted to knock down every story out there about the investigation, regardless what it says.

could be that he was considering making changes, rumored a couple of people in town have said no. they wouldn't work on the team. i think the president was trying to avoid those stories. so he knocked down the story more broadly. clearly he's been talking to judge jenova, which is a very good lawyer in town. you know, joe will do a great job representing him. he picked a lawyer he's comfortable with. they will sit down and make decisions to -- it is a -- when you have a political case that is half political, half legal, they're not as easy. in a straight criminal case, you wouldn't have someone in the president's position to testify. in a political case, not testifying would drag this out for a long time. if he doesn't testify, it's likely mueller will subpoena him and that will go to the supreme court. then you have another year or two of this dragging on the presidency. so all of that has to be taken into account. it's not just a legal question.

it's a political decision as well. >> julie: all right. i want to talk about a disagreement between dowd and the president and one that, you know, potentially could have led to this or the fact that he hired a new attorney and he felt like he was losing control. whether or not he should sit down and be interviewed by mueller. this is something that the president insisted he wants to do. i want you to line to mike huckabee and what he thinks. listen. >> i'm sure he would like to, but it's probably not a good legal strategy. probably the thing he should do is, you give me written questions, i'll give you written answers. going into a room and having them -- have the freedom to ask anything they want and getting him just to be a conversational is probably not a great idea. i don't think he will do that. there's a trap set if he does. >> julie: speaking of traps, digenova believes the president was trapped or framed by the fbi and the justice department.

so with that said, if he believes that, would he actually support the president sitting down with mueller? >> he may not. it's hard to know. again, as i said, it's the president's call. the president said he wants to do that. so regardless of what individual lawyer's view is. the other thing about huckabee's statement that deserves comments, trump's lawyers are not in control of this. i'm sure they would prefer written questions. the question is, will mueller allow written questions. that's a negotiation that needs to happen. there's less risk if you can write out your answers. i strongly doubt the special counsel will do that. the question is do you testify if the special counsel wants to require it or not. that's -- again, that's not going to be trump's call. it's mueller's call. >> ultimately the president has said whether he wants to sit down with mueller or not, he's

going to take the advice of his lawyers. i have a feeling they won't want him to do that. robert, thanks very much. we appreciate it. >> thanks for having me. jon? >> jon: so democrats and republicans in the senate come together to pass a massive spending bill. earlier this morning, president trump said he's considering a veto. a member of the house budget committee will weigh-in later in the hour. plus, the impact of the president's tariffs on china. what do they mean for the markets here in the u.s. and around the world? the dow up a handful of points right now. >> these indiscriminate wide tariff policies could be incredibly harmful if they lead to an escalation of a trade war. that won't be good for the economy in the long-term. internet. but not just any internet.

>> jon: a fox news alert. we're going to keep a close eye on the dow after a 700-plus point drop yesterday. right now it's a little less than 10% of that back. about 47 points up. meantime, fears of a possible trade war between the u.s. and china continue to spread across the globe. this comes after president trump announced tariffs on chinese imports yesterday. >> we're losing $375 billion with china. it could be $504 billion depending on the way you count. no matter how you count, it's bad. we're doing something that will be the start of making trade with china more fair. we're so far down and our presidents, past presidents, should never have allowed this to happen. this has been many, many years. >> jon: a spokesperson from china's ministry of foreign affairs says china does not want

a trade war but we're never afraid of having one. we have the confidence and capacity so as to not bring the economic and trade relations between china and u.s. into danger. joining us now, brian brenberg from kings college here in new york city. so parse that chinese statement for us. it does seem that there is actually a certain amount of caution built in to the president's tariff proposal. >> yeah, a lot of caution here. neither the president, nor the chinese want a trade war. they want to get a deal. if you look what is happening, you can see that. on the u.s. side, we're talking about the $60 billion in tariffs. but they won't take effect for at least 45 days. that creates time for a deal. on the chinese side, their response was $3 billion in planned tariffs. that's very small relative to how much the u.s. experts to

china. we're talking 2%. both sides are playing this moderately. both sides want a deal. that's why markets came back a little bit today. overnight they said this probably isn't worth a 700-point drop. let's rethink it. that's what you're seeing. >> jon: wall street is good reading the tea leaves. >> and they're worried about a trade war. that would be bad. if you look at the way the u.s. has backed off on this plays ou. >> jon: at the white house, they're saying things are looking good for the u.s. economy. here's marc short. >> i think putting in perspective the markets were a little over 18,000 on election day 2016. we've had about a 30% increase in the markets. you have unemployment at a 17-year low. the fed says they expect

continued unemployment. the fundamentals are strong. the president's policies on regulations and taxes continue to boost our economy. >> jon: so as you at home were listening to the legislative affairs director of the white house, you were nodding in agreement. >> the underlying economy is so strong right now. investors are looking for any reason possible to focus on that story and not the trade story. so that -- again, markets are coming back because unemployment is good, economic growth is good. wages are growing. the federal reserve is happy about that. a lot of good news here if tariffs don't get in the way. i don't think the president wants them to ultimately. that's the republicans best chance for re-election in 2018. >> jon: one of the things that concerns company in the u.s. that range from the biggest defense contractors to the smallest independent film maker is intellectual property theft in china. they steal a bunch of stuff. >> this is a very big issue. the one thing the president is

doing, and it's not without risk, he's being serious about this. he's actually going after china on this issue in a way no president has. there's a lot of americans, even americans that don't like tariffs, like the fact that he's showing some seriousness here. that at the end of the day could get us somewhere on an issue that's been dogging our economy. >> jon: it's going to be interesting to watch. brian brenberg. thank you. >> julie: the government fights a multibillion dollar deal between time-warner and at&t. why the feds could pay the price if the merger happens. and congress on the cusp of a major spending deal but now the president threatening to derail it. diane black joins us next with her take. billions of bacteria, but life can throw them off balance. try align, the #1 doctor recommended probiotic.

>> jon: vote or change the vote. if not, the yays are 65 and the nays are 32. the motion to concur is agreed to. >> julie: there you have it. seen as a done deal. or is it? the spending bill facing uncertainty after negotiations went well into the night and into the morning. senators passing the massive $1.3 trillion deal. so now we're going to wait to see whether or not it's going to stick. that is because the president

has in fact tweeted, dropping a bomb shell today, saying this. i'm considering a veto of the omnibus spending bill based on the fact the 800,000 plus daca recipients have been abandoned by the democrats, not even mentioned and the border wall that is desperately needed is funding for the wall. and here's diane black for the ways and means committee and the budget committee. there's no surprise the president is unhappy with this. the problem here with a veto, given lawmakers and both chambers have left town and the government funding deadline is midnight, it's possible a government shut down could happen. lawmakers won't be back in town till monday to fix it. >> let me first of all say that this is a problem because we're not following the rules that we have put in place to make sure that this does not happen.

first of all, this is a bill that really gave the senate an opportunity, nancy pelosi and chuck schumer saying what do you want to increase? we continue to increase. anybody out there knows i'm a fiscal conservative and my budget that we passed many, many months ago and appropriation bills passed six months ago have not been taken up by the senate. this is a broken process. we come down to this year after year after year. so none of it should be surprised that this is where we are today. we'll just have to see what the president is going to do. it's not a good deal for the american people. >> julie: so let's talk about the deal. the $1.3 trillion deal. the president's issue with it as he points out and many of the conservative priorities are lacking are the daca issue and the wall, which are not included in it. we know how the president feels about those. why would lawmakers knowing that

leave town knowing the president wouldn't be happy with it? >> i'm not in the middle of those negotiations. this is not something that i expect the president to be happy about. they've been negotiating with each other and talking with the president. i'm not in the middle of it. this is what happens when you have a congress of 535 people, house and senate and you have four people that are negotiating the program to get the end result. you can see by the vote yesterday that happened in the house of representatives, there's a number of people on my own side of the aisle, republicans, both from the conservative and the more moderate that are not pleased with what we're doing. this is a broken system. we have to get this system in place that actually works the way it was set up to work and not do these omnibus bills over and over again at the very last minute. this is what you get. you get a bill that is overblown. we're now up to $21 trillion in

debt and increasing our spending rather than decreasing it. we did need the help for defense. i'll acknowledge that. but a whole menu in there for things that were given to the democrat and shouldn't have happened. >> this is a 2, 300 page bill. i wonder if all of those voted read all 2,300 pages. you voted no on the spending bill based on the fact that republicans came to congress to cut government spending. instead, this bill increases spending and then allowed senate democrats to pick their own priorities. what happens at midnight tonight? >> i will wait and so i. i'll be ready to come back and sit down at the table. if we can all sit down together is the appropriate way to do it and not just have four people negotiates this for us. i'm not going to vote for a bill this bloated. i was clear about that. my budget was the most conservative budget that occurred in 20 years. i worked with the president on

that we were able to get that passed in the house of representatives. the senate has not done their job. they have not taken care of what needed to be taken care of until we get to the cliff. we're outside of the process and we have another omnibus bill. >> julie: all right. congress woman diane black, nobody likes to feel bloated. that's for sure. thank you. >> thank you. >> julie: jon? >> jon: the battle between the government and at&t over a megamerger is now playing out in a courtroom. both side deliver their opening remarks in a federal case. the justice department is suing to block a deal worth billions that would allow at&t to absorb time-warner. fox business networks, lauren simonetti is up to date on that. she joins us live with more. lauren? >> we still have the contentious opening argues yesterday in a trial that could last two months and determine how much you pay to watch your favorite shows. at&t wants to buy time-warner. $85 billion.

the justice department says absolutely not arguing at&t would have too much power. they own directv. essentially one company would own the service that provides the content and the content. time-warner home to turner, hbo, warner brothers as well as cnn. translation, customers could pay at least $400 million more a year. that comes from a government expert. breaks down to 45 cents per subscriber per month. the government says that at&t would use time-warner as a weapon to get more money from their competitors who need that programming to offer their customers. so here's at&t's counter argument. that they need time, time-warner, because they need leridge to fend off the online rivals, the streamers whether it's netflix, facebook or google. the services offer customers content packages that are cheaper, john. so at&t also cited the big merger back in 2011 between

comcast and nbc universal. they argue that that did not increase prices for you and me. while both side back in court on monday. keep in mind this is a big deal. not only because of the sheer volume and the price tag but the last time the feds actually blowed a so called vertical merger was 1972. >> jon: lauren simonetti, you. >> sure. >> julie: the nra pushing back on reports that the organization was infiltrated by russians to help candidate trump. will the mainstream media ever let go of the collusion claims? our panel weighs in next. a former playboy model is talking about her alleged affair with president trump. what she had to say in her first television interview last night. >> i thought does he think that i'm in this for money or why i'm here tonight.

>> julie: former playboy model karen mcdougal said she had an affair with president trump before he was president. she apologized to first lady melania trump. >> if melania trump is watching this, what would you want her to know? >> a tough one. >> or say to her. >> yeah.

what can you say exempt i'm sorry. i'm sorry. i wouldn't want it done to me. i'm sorry. >> julie: okay. the former model is suing to be released from a 2016 agreement that has kept her from speaking about the alleged affair. >> jon: well, many in the mainstream theory are pushing a theory that they infiltrated the nra to push money to the trump campaign. the nra denies the accusations. kimberly strossel writing about the claims in this piece. she writes "these days all it takes to turn the most

outlandish accusation into news is the whispers of a couple of democratic lawmakers or an anonymous reference to the fbi." let's take it up with our media panel. chris is here from politics inside out on the sirius xm potus channel. allie is here from conservative review tv. a lot of ins and outs to this story. i urge a lot of people to look at kimberly's piece online if they haven't read it. allie, the basis of the accusation here is that a russian oligarch claims that he donated money to the nra money in order to benefit the trump campaign. is there any evidence at all that this happened? >> no. actually not according to the argue on which this is based. that was published in january, which was actually based on this totally uncorroborated and as far as as we know

unsubstantiated testimony by glenn vinson, who happens to be the co-founder of fusion gps who happened to fund the salacious and uncorroborated dossier on trump. so it comes full circle here. another example of certain members of the media running with a speculative story that is not based on fact. what we know is that the fbi actually hasn't said to the extent to which there have been money transferred between russia and nra. like you said, the nra has had no contact with the fbi. furthermore, mcclatchey reported one of the attorneys for the nra saying she was concerned about russian ties with the nra. the attorney said she never said that. reached out to mcclatchey about it. he ran with the story anyway. this is par for the course for fake news unfortunately. >> jon: also that attorney hadn't worked for the nra for

about ten years or so. chris, what do you think about this? are there holes here big enough to drive a truck through or not? >> look, jon was a reporter for 20 years. these stories are very well-written. what mcclatchey is reporting is that the facts of the case as we know them. a kremlin linked politician who is directing mob money inside spain, who has a lifetime membership to the nra, talked about at being every nra convention since 2012, meeting every nra president, tweeting that he knows donald trump through the nra, that he met donald trump jr. during the 2016 nra convention. that shows in his own words that he's very involved in the nra and that comes at a time when the intelligence community says we're convinced that russia meddled with our elections, this

politician with an international observer to the 2012 election through his ties to the nra. all mcclatchey is reporting is they're looking into it. there's not been any money passed to donald trump. the federal election commission is looking into that. as a news guy, you have to listen to your sources. reminds me that it's no different than when i heard from republican sources during the obama administration and they said hey, we want to look into the fast and furious and we would write stories about what they were looking into about those investigations and you follow that investigation as it unfurls. we'll see what investigators find. from a news standpoint, this seems like a buttoned up story. >> we're low on time. very quickly, you can get a lifetime membership to the nra for a couple thousand bucks. >> right. all of the things that chris just listed might be true. there's no evidence whatsoever linking them together.

that's the problem. that we're seeing these cohesive stories linking them together and there's no evidence that they go together. so what we're seeing is just a moving goal post. is the media trying to justify the russian collusion story, which has not been proved for 1 1/2 years and trying to say it might not have been the trump campaign, but it's the nra and they have no evidence to prove that. >> jon: all right. we'll have to say good-bye. we'll get chris the last answer next time. we'll continue to watch this. thank you both. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> julie: there's still many questions surrounding the austin bombing suspect. we'll have the latest on the case next. a huge robot dinosaur on fire. >> oh, no! >> julie: oh, gosh. what happened there? i'm worried i can't find a safe used car. you could start your search at the all-new carfax.com
