>> what a busy day it's been in politics. final five, president trump on the campaign trail in ohio. john mccain helping the gop move forward with the healthcare plan. paul man forth , jeff sessions isn't being fired but the president sure seems like he wants him out of a job. a new threat from north korea. we start with the president's latest campaign recall yivment it was a campaign rally in youngs stown, ohio. he was speaking to his supporters and he talked about bringing back jobs in youngs town. billing the border wall and predicted, quote, a lot of problems for any senator who votes

placing obamacare. he also gave his explanation for his controversial tweets over the last couple of dayses. hi, look , great schools, smart guy, it's so easy to act presidential , but that's not going to get it done. in fact, i said it's much easier by the way to act presidential than what we're doing here tonight, believe me and i said -- and i said with the exception of the late great abraham lincoln i can be more presidential than any president that's ever held this office, that i can tell you. >> got it? the president also took time to reflect arrested on an outstanding his time in office so far and popular target 's

medication td fake news. every single president on mount rush more, now here's what i do, i'd ask whether or not you think i will some day be on mount rush more, but -- no -- (applause) but heeshes ' the problem, if i did it joking, totally joking, having fun, the fake news media will say he believes he should be on mount rush more. the president also had a special guest speaker at the recall yivment he found this guy because he was watching fox news this morning. president trump handed off the podium to allow jean oh faib and to speak. sir, like i said, thank you for justice gorsuch on the supreme court. right. that s

all. and then i apologize, i said mr. president, thank you for for lan yeah, could we have a more out tanning first lady? i'm probably going to be in trouble with my wife, but god bless that woman. >> jean oh defaib ohio at one point a protestor did interrupt the president but he wasn't fac ed saying he was just one weak voice in the crowd. >> let's talk about the big d.c. in story in d.c. they started to make a repeal billion for obamacare. this was just a start the debate. mike mens had to cast the tie breaking vote in the senate and the big focus was on senator john mccain. he came back to the senate after surgery for brain cancer. he said on the floor the billion needs major changes before he'd support passing it. the senator also warned his

becoming so divided along party lines. >> we've been spinning our wheels on too many important issues because we keep trying to find a way to win from across the aisle. without any support the other side, with all the parliamentary man eufers it requires. we're getting nothing done, my friends. now the president celebrated the vote today. he's repeatedly said he's going to sign any repeal vote that comes to his desk. we're going to talk about russia right now. the senate judiciary committee has rescinded its subpoena that would have compelled former trump campaign manager man forth to testify at a committee. it might happen in september. man forth met with the

is also conducting an investigation into meddling into the election. some topics they want to talk about man forth was the meeting that they met with the russian lawyer that ms properred dirt on hillary clinton h. he was answering questions from the house intelligence committee. yesterday he answered questions behind closed doors with a senate panel and no big surprise his father-in-law threw his support behind him tweeting out this morning, jared kushner did very well in proving he did not dough included with the witch hunt. next up 11 year old barron trump. we're pretty sure he was kitting there. they're moving forward with new sanctions for russia. they pass ed a a billion that punished russians for election meddling. the billion goes to the senate where an earlier version easily passed. if you get up this morning like i do, any morning you want to see what

again today. president trump not firing attorney jeff sessions but it sure seems he wants him out of a job. the president was asked about sessions during this afternoon's press conference with the prime minister of lebanon and his comments were not a vote of confidence. they want it to be leaking like rarely they they ever have leaked before at an internal level. these are intelligence agencies. we cannot have that happen. you know many of my views in addition to that you about i think that's one of the very important things that they have to get on. i told you before i'm very disappointed with the attorney general, but we'll see what happens. time will tell. time will tell. it was last week the president criticized sessions for recusing himself from the russian investigation. this morning here came the tweets. quo

weak position on hillary clinton crimes. where are e-mails and d nc server on intel leaks. the president is criticizing sessions for not going after hillary clinton even though he himself backed off the calls to lock her up almost immediately after he was elected. here's what he said during an interview as president elect. remember this? she did some bad things, but that special prosecutor. i don't want to hurt them. i don't want to hurt them. they're good people. i don't want to hurt them. i will give you a very, very good and definitive answer the next time we do 60 minutes together. >> meantime jeff sessions is not the only white house staffer whose future is under speculation tonight. there are rumors of an appending recollection it. state left. the secretary of state apparently taking sometime off. the state department's spokesperson asked about where the

>> he does have the ability to go away for a few days on his own. taking a little time off. he's got a lot of work. he just came back from that mega trip oversees as you well all know. many of you were there with the g20 so he's entitled to take a few days himself. that was true , but yesterday there was a report that claimed tillerson was frustrated with the president's criticism with jeff sessions and that he may resign toward the end of the year. new white house communications director anthony scaramucci he's threatened to fire everybody over leaks. scaramucci got started by ousting assistant press secretary michael short. short said he had not been involved in any leaks, but he stepped down this afternoon. news of who are the's impending departure was first reported this morning. >> let's talk foreign poly s. the us is threatening a new threat from noter korea. the north will launch a

ful nuclear hammer at the heart of the united states if the white house tries to attempt regime change in young. they talked at the as penning security form. kim young yoon from his nuclear arson. north korea thinks the ultimate amies regime change. clearly the state news doesn't correspond any of the president t speeches or tweets. a new report from the washington post says the pent ton zeff north korea could a inter blis particular missile as early as next year. rebel forces, isis and the regime of what sar al asad are fighting with russia backing asad. partnership had something to say about asad during the joint press conference today. i'm not a fan of asad. he will tell you that becau

or you could say 59 out of 59 when we launched the tom hock missilings. i not a fan of asad . i certainly think that what he's done to that country and to humanity is horrible. >> and also tonight we're learn ing about a tense encounter , a us navy ship has fired shots at an islamic ship. it ignored reported radio calls, flares and a danger signal. the us military has recordedded approximately 60 unsafe interactions with iran and ships in the the golf since 2016 and that is your final five on this us t. coming up next we'll take a closer look at the healthcare billion. what's next and where does the gop go from here. back after this on fox5.

what they're trying to do is something that is very difficult and very detailed. but they brought together the votes they needed to move to the motion to proceed, pass that and get on with the billion was are

victory given where they've been . the first amendment which they voted on tonight which was a mcconnell package that had cruz language in it and some language to help some of the states that senator port man was interested in failed. it did not have a full score by this the cbo so it had to get 60 votes but it only got h three anyway so it would not have pass ed even if it had been on the simple majority. but that will give you a sense of where they are in the disee bates right now and where they are trying to put together an alternative. they have to finish up 20 hours of debate which will finish up thursday sometime. any senator can offer any amendment they want that is within the boundaries of the budget act and the responsibilities of the budget act and could get a vote on that . they will not be able to debate these at length, but they will be able to get them up and offer them for votes. that will take place thursday and friday and as long as the senators decide they want to

the next amendment they'll take up is one by senatorrance situate and senator rand paul which i believe is going to be an amendment that is just simply a repeal of obama care. that would be voted on probably sometime tomorrow morning. and then there's going to be a motion to commit by senator donnelly and that ill with be voted on sometime in the afternoon. so they started the process. >> as we talk about senator mccain there was a lot of attention paid to his speech on the floor today talking about reaching out to the other side of the aisle. there were some real issues here that we may find some common ground. do you think there's a series concerted effort to work in ideas from both sides and come up with something that you might get a majority vote on? at this point i don't see that happening. the fundamental differences where the democrats are which is to hold onto government control of the

where most republicans are, in fact where all the republicans are, the details are the issue is to change it where families and their doctors get to what they need, what sort of policy they want and have that worked out with their doctor. that is a pretty significant change. at this point none of the democrats seem inclined to work to change it in that dwreks. so at this point i think what you'll see is they'll continue through mostly with the bart san amendments on both sides. however, at some point as they move forward on healthcare after this billion is done, if they pass it they will then go to a conference. if they don't pass it it will be set on the back burner and there will be some things that have to be done on the healthcare to make sure the system stands. there are a lot of states, a lot of counties in

nobody to ensure them. you can't buy insurance if there is no insured. there is a large number that only have one insured which means there's no competition in price. so there are going to have to be some things done whether this billion \success\succeeds or fails on the senate floor to sustain the system in order to move forward when you get to that point then you might find that there are some efforts to put things together and p to work across the aisle to do some of the things that senator mccain was referring to in his speech today >> i wish we had more time because we talked about this quite a bit. i appreciate you staying up late tonight. we'll be watching this. dave hospital i. we're back after this on the final five. z2e2hz z1a2z

international attention. an it staffer and former dnc was ar rested at dulles as he was about to flee the country. he was charged with bank fraud. here to tell us more is a guy who has been following this story over the last couple weeks , and months. >> we're looking at the story, give us a little bit of the low down, the importance here. this guy was at dulles today, but what do these charges stem from? >> this a congressional staffer with high level access to the network. he worked for dozens of democrats and he could read all of the e-mails sent and received by them as well as any files that were on their or their staffers computers. he was going back to pakistan after learning that the fbi was investigating a variety

did manage to grab $300,000 from the federal credit and his wife did flee and make it to pakistan where she is enjoying that money . police detained her at $12,000 in cash hidden in a suit suitcase, but at that time they didn't have the legal mechanisms to stop her. so this guy worked for wassermann schultz. her office said part-time employee. they terminated him. they don't know anything more. this was a systemic thing on cap l toll hill because this was not the only member of congress that was impacted by this guy's alleged actions. this guy emmys ran shortly after joining the staff of wassermann schultz way back in 2005 he's been her top it guy ever since. politico described them as personal friends. shortly after he joined the staff four of his relatives appeared on the congressional payroll fr a variety of democrat s andhe

salarieses that were chief of staff level, $165,000 a year each adding up to $4 million. so this is a lot of money this they're taking in. sure. >> meanwhile they're running other schemes involving mortgages and other things and all this money is going somewhere. and it seems like it's going to pakistan. let me break this down here. when the alleged malfeesance was uncovered other members of congress terminated him. he stayed on wasser plan shultses' payroll. do we have an indication why at at this point people are speculation what it may be, was it connected to the dnc. where does that stand. >> wassermann schultz has gone out on a limb for this guy. she refused to fire him until today they confiscated a laptop that was found abandoned in the raifn house office building and this was a laptop said to be used by imuran. capital police

this to prove a case that democrats were hacked. wassermann schultz has this h bizarre exchange, you can see a video at daily.com. she says there's going to be consequences if you don't give this back. she hasn't wanted certain evidence to be seen. luke rose acc from the daily caller. i know there's a lot more layers to this story, but you'll be on fox business tomorrow. luke, i appreciate it tonight. thanks for staying up with us late on a story that a lot of people are talking about including former debbie wassermann. you can also see more on fox5dc.com. there was some security restrictions that a kayakers near president trump's golf course upside. kayakers and boat ers will still be able to use a portion of the potomac when the president i

there. they will be able to use the maryland side of the potomac . it had been closing a two-mile stretch whenever the president was on it zoo. they are working onsetting up an area for a portion of potomac in the area. next on the final five who has been sleeping soundly and who is tossing and turning as we end a very busy day in washington. washington.

>> you know i wanted to ask dave hospital i about this tonight. one man sound asleep isoformer house speaker john baynard. he's avoided the spotlight until giving a paid speh

vegas and the washington post obtained a copy. they will never pass a repeal of the obamacare. he does predict the employer and individual mandates will go away. mean time his former center part has a big sell ahead of him. they opened debate on oh obamacare, john mack mccain said he's a no vote others have said so as well. while the president says he's ready to sign whatever congress sends his way, it's to get everyone on the same page. the bottom line is they got to get enough people to pass it. that is the final five on this tuesday night. we're back with more tomorrow. who knows what's going to happen. it's washington. thanks for

the morning show at four:25. i'm out of here. bye.
