well, because you just do, all right? by the way, the fallout from all of this, john kelly's first day on the job will be monday. we'll be there to cover it. very big cabinet meeting planned that day. don't forget on fox business beginning at noon eastern time. fox news continues. >> president trump slamming republicans for not passing repealing obamacare. elizabeth: and a day after news broke that reince priebus is leaving the white house. leland: inside the president's crackdown on ms-13, the gang responsible for a series of murders and multi-billion dollar drug sales here at home. ♪ welcome to america's news headquarters from washington,

we say this every week, it's a busy weekend, but this feels really busy. elizabeth: it feels really busy. a late afternoon knowing it's a busy show. thank you for joining us. leland: i'm leland vittert. elizabeth. great to be with you. elizabeth: i'm elizabeth prann. white house chief of staff reince priebus is out. john kelly is in. the news on twitter. it capped off a wild week in washington. and what can you tell us? >> well, good to see you. there are two ways to look at this, the week that the trump administration as it comes to an end. first of all, it's a low point in the still young administration or perhaps it's a fresh start. and given the appointment just last night to be, the white house chief of staff of john kelly. it started off with the resignation of sean spicer and then the appointment of anthony

scaramucci and then the foul-mouthed tirade to reporter, he thought was off the record and the reporter said it was on the record. and the repeal and replace bill, potentially affecting key parts of the trump agenda. and yesterday under intense pressure of reince priebus. priebus was as gracious as anybody could be under the circumstances. here he is talking to sean hannity. >> he's making it -- i'm feeling good about the fact that he's making a change that makes him comfortable with moving forward. you know, we had a good talk yesterday. i resigned. he accepted it. and then we started working together and talking quite a few times about who would be a great pick to come in here and be the chief of staff and i can't think of anyone better than four-star general john kelly.

>> it's well-known that trump does not like indecision. and one said it's the worst to show insecurity. that jeff sessions showed insecurity and reince priebus showed it. it's unlikely that john kelly is going to show any insecurity as his background, but then again a chief of staff job is uniquely difficult. >> it's not question of being a monitor, a gatekeeper, it's a question of driving, one, the agenda and making certain that that agenda is coordinated. driving the calendar, to be sure, and there will always be people that need one-on-one access with the principal and you don't have to be there. if you're going to be there for all of that, you've never get your own job done. >> that said, a lot of people said that the infighting and t tumult had to do with one man.

president's primary problem is not that he's em pet tuesday, brash or naive, or that he's crude or an outsider, it's that he's weak and sniffling, ignoring form of masculinity, that from peggy noonen. that was a turning point and we'll go from here. elizabeth: that we will. thank you, we appreciate it. leland has more. leland: and for more we bring in our good friend of the show, daniel halpert, author of the book "clinton, inc." >> great to be here. leland: peggy points out tough things about the president. it brings up an important question. does general kelly now have a hunting license to bring some discipline to what everyone can agree is a chaotic west wing? >> we in that general kelly is

a disciplined man and we would assume that he would get that promise before taking the office, before taking the chief of staff's office. leland: the president has been trying to do this for a while. >> these are all assumptions and we don't know. it will take several weeks before we figure out how this new structure works in the white house and whether we see it-- whether it changes the white house on whether there are actually results. it's been clear up to this point that the results-- there haven't been good results to this point. health care, i think, was a big disaster. there hasn't been legislative achievements and one of the reasons that reince priebus was brought in, there would be that he was thought to have good relations republicans on the hill. things haven't worked out. you can't just blame it on the hill. perhaps it's time to try something new. leland: fair to say that the president doesn't-- isn't going to change his ways? i think everybody is agreed on that. the question is can kelly change things? anthony scaramucci, brought in about a week ago, has talked so much about leaks and the president talked about leaks

and scaramucci chose a colorful conversation with the new yorker magazine, said he felt he found the leaker in reince priebus and now the leaker is out. does that mean the leaks stop? >> probably not. there's been so many leaks, that i don't think you can isolate them to a single person and probably not just to reince priebus. they are systemic. they are so widespread that i just-- i'm not sure that you can get rid of them just by firing one person. leland: all right. family friendly broadcast so we can't repeat what mr. scaramucci had to say about either mr. priebus or mr. steve bannon, but shall we say, they were choice words. priebus is now gone just a week after scaramucci comes in. is bannon next? >> the new york times is reporting he might be. that the president has considered getting rid of him. if scaramucci is speaking in

some way on behalf of the president, you would think that bannon's job may be in danger. we don't know that. it seems likely. one of the strange things, when president trump won the white house by many ways bucking the white house establishment. when he won, he brought the white house establishment with him. he brought reince priebus, and sean spicer and paul ryan, if he could have given him a kick in the shins, he might have fallen and they might have had new leadership. and it's different how he ran the campaign. now they're bringing in more people loyalists with the exception of john kelly chief of staff. leland: it's an independent look at-- >> which is how trump promised and ran the campaign. he said he was going to bring in a new way of looking at washington and these are new people who are not, you know, kelly is a little more complex,

but are not of washington ways and perhaps this is returning to the campaign promise that trump-- that trump was so successful running on? kellyanne conway, we don't have time for the sound bite, but essentially she said we've accomplished so much in the past six months, is the exit interview for reince priebus. if you've accomplished so much, why do you need a reset? >> i think that's slightly disingenuous. there have been accomplishments and executive orders, but i don't think it's what has been promised. what was promised was repeal and replace obamacare. leland: quickly, john kelly was the secretary of dhs when the travel ban came out. that didn't work so well round one or round two. does he bring something different to the west wing? >> i think he brings years of experience in the military and i think that some sort of military precision could help the west wing get in shape. leland: as mr. trump would say, one of my generals and i think

he's-- the headline i saw was the west wing general. we'll see what he brings to the west wing. daniel, thank you as always. >> thank you. leland: a little more on general john kelly, 40 years of service, including time as a senior advisor to pentagon chiefs robert gates and leon panetta, making sure the four-star uniform services chief within the defense department executed their agenda. that experience may come in handy, the legislative experience as he looks to bring it to the west wing. taking a look at kelly's record both in the military and also record at dhs. hi, alison. >> that's right, the refired general is not a new face in the trump administration for washington d.c., confirmed as homeland security secretary on january 20th. they overwhelmingly confirmed him. 88 senators voted in favor of his nomination. >> i have a profound respect for the law and will always

strive to uphold it. >> not long after he issued new guidelines that would ramp up efforts by hiring more border patrol agents and expediting the removal process. that and other actions did not sit well with some democrats. senator bob casey tweeted about the deportation of a mother and her young child tweeting that the gangs will target this mother and child the minute they land in honduras. and call kelly and quote, tell him this makes no sense. kelly responded to those tweets at a speech in d.c. >> ice, immigration customs enforcement, homeland security, john kelly, i don't, we don't deport people. the law deports people. the law, as passed, the laws as

passed by the united states congress. i say it over and over again. if the laws are not good laws, then change them. >> kelly enlisted in the marine corps in 1970. he served for two years and then left and went to college. he returned to the marines in 1976. in 2003, while in iraq, kelly became the first marine colonel since 1951 to be promoted to brigadier general while in active combat. he retired, of course, as a four-star general in january of 2016. kelly also served as an advisor to former defense secretary leon panetta during the obama administration. just the other day bret baier spoke with him on special report, and panetta says he thinks a great deal of john kelly and saying, quote, it could be one of the best personnel changes that president trump has made in six months. leland, kell will i -- kelly is set to remain in his current job until monday. leland: universal praise of john kelly.

liz. elizabeth: other news, despite rubble promises that obamacare's days were numbered. it's time to move on from health care? and the next steps for the republican agenda and what kind of hits did they suffer. let's bring in the political health reporter. thank you, jennifer, we love having you on. first and foremost, a vision that senator john mccain has, we've heard quite a bit about especially after what happened in the chamber early friday morning. is that feasible? is that a feasible vision going forward? >> i think it's pretty tough. i mean, it's hard to see how both republicans and democrats can get out of their partisan positions. i mean, they've been in a defensive crouch on the affordable care act for eight years and it's hard to see that suddenly going away and suddenly changing. even just after the bill failed on, i guess, it was friday in the midnight hours, mitch mcconnell was already saying we need to see things from democrats, but we're not ready

to bail out insurance companies. so already they're kind of getting in their positions. elizabeth: here is where i need to you explain. if you go back to 2015, senator john mccain one of the many senators who voted for repeal. it was a different administration, a different proposal they knew it was going to get vetoed. at the same time the skinny repeal as soft as you can get as far as a compromise. what happened over the two years? did that surprise you? >> absolutely. i mean, that 2015 bill was really brought by conservatives based on let's get the ground running. if we have a republican president. they thought, you know, once they get through the process, they get republicans on the record saying they'd vote for full repeal, that would be much easier now, i mean, do you remember in january? people were saying, maybe we'll get repeal to president trump's desk by january 20th. inauguration day. we're six months later and nothing happened. clearly that planning, that look at the 2015 bill didn't turn out the way they had planned so you know, senator john mccain essentially flip flopped. lisa murkowski, the republican

from alaska flip flopped as well. elizabeth: and they were some-- there were some appeasements for here if many i'm not mistaken. did that surprise you? >> she was worried about funding for planned parenthood, and she didn't want it at all. yeah, exactly. and alaska, there was additional help there. she was very early on a skeptic. mccain was more surprising because he was more willing, at least he didn't signal publicly that he had problems like murkowski did. elizabeth: everybody is saying what's in the future? are we going straight to tax reform? there was a meeting, if i'm mott mistaken, 40 members of the house, not the senate, but a bipartisan group sort of looking forward. if you think about it, at least 25,000 areas are not having a plan. and 20% of folks across the

country are left with just one option. so, it's not-- it's not getting better, if you could say that. so, is there hope for the future? i mean, we keep on having this conversation, but i think a lot of people want to know, what's going to happen with their health care? >> there are some members that want to see something bipartisan done. they're willing to tip their toe in the water and conversations. a lot of folks felt that repeal had to be completely off the table for that to move forward. as we're seeing, i don't see how members really start having those conversations in a serious way. it would be such a flip from republicans and democrats over the last seven years, but those conversations are happening. they were happening in the senate before the bill passed and they might pick up again. i wouldn't expect anything to happen anytime soon, but maybe by the end of the year because there are, like you said, real problems in the markets that, you know, something needs to be done about. elizabeth: does someone need to be the sacraficial lamb? are we going to see maybe mitch

mcconnell lose his top job there? does someone have to fall for this? >> i don't see mcconnell losing his job. not a lot of republicans want today see that. he did everything he could. >> which he did. >> if there was a bill that was up to 50, i think-- >> adjustment, amendments, different versionins, we've see it all. jennifer thank you. the fallout and what comes next for congress. and sitting down with nancy pelosi, that's tomorrow. check your local listings for time and channel and 11 a.m. eastern tomorrow, media buzz will look at the media coverage of the very latest white house shake-up. no lack of headlines there. so, tune in. leland: venezuela on the brink and we're just hours away from a vet called by the embattled

president. opposition leaders say that's a sham to give the socialist leader absolute power. what it means for the anti-government protests sweeping the country and caught up in it all, imprisoned american josh holt. his mother has been tirelessly fighting to free him. we're going to talk to her later in the show. plus, a brand new u.s. astronaut orbitting around the u.s. in space, but has time for a special message for his family down on earth. what that is. as we look at north korea's test, north korea claims that missile could strike anywhere in the united states.

past few months, this comes ahead of the rewriting the confusion. and our own steve harrigan is live in miami with the latest. hi, steve. >> elizabeth, it really looks like the two sides are simply on a collision course, which could end up in violent explosion on sunday. for the past four months in venezuela, we've seen protesters come out on the street throwing rocks and bricks against security forces. in turn, they're getting hit by water canons, as well as rubber bullets. people have been killed and it's probably worse before the vote on sunday. the president nicolas maduro, a one-time bus driver, wants to ram through a rewrite of the constitution. opponents say it's a power grab trying to create a cuba-like structure inside of venezuela. the u.s. has taken a strong stand against the vote. if you call it a vote.

you can't vote no, you can only vote for people supplied by the government. they've put on sanctions against 13 top venezuelan officials and the u.s. is ready to do more with swift and strong economic sanctions against venezuela. keep in mind, venezuela, despite its poverty is a major oil supplier. half of the oil goes to the u.s. should the u.s. embargo the oil, it could mean an economic collapse in venezuela. we're looking ahead to the next 48 hours to more and intensified violence on the streets of caracas. elizabeth: thank you, steve. we'll be speaking with an american mother whose newly married son is held in a venezuela prison what she says are false charges. leland: a crew has successfully arrived at the space station. on friday. they're going to spend five

months up there, what they call a scientific mission. the astronauts lifted off from kazakhstan on a section hour trip. they went up on the soyuz. there are experience, ranging from human research and development. and the u.s. astronaut randy breznick spoke with his wife and children shortly after docking with the space station. >> hi papa. >> hi, little munchkins. look who made it with us. leland: all right. and i'm guessing that's his kidsment they look kind of interested, but who knows. he and fellow crew members return in december hopefully for christmas. elizabeth: north korea speeds up the clock on its nuclear ambitions taking a major step forward.

president trump calls it reckless and dangerous. details on that new threat coming up. plus, the attorney general still under siege. we'll speak with a former doj official about the president's criticism, and the late beleaguered ag's fate. >> the president is obviously disappointed that he chose to recuse himself, but the president wants him to go ahead and do his job. >> well, it's kind of hurtful, but the president of the united states is a strong leader. he is determined to move this country in the direction he believes it needs to go to make us great again. you don't let anything

keep you sidelined. that's why you drink ensure. with 9 grams of protein and 26 vitamins and minerals. for the strength and energy to get back to doing... ...what you love. ensure. always be you.

>> the white house shake-up stealing the spotlight. granting beleaguered attorney jeff sessions a reprieve from the headlines and for that matter, president trump's twitter feed. that doesn't mean that his job is safe.

time will tell. republicans from capitol hill continue to rally around sessions, saying firing him would be a bridge too far. let's bring in bob driscoll, former deputy assistant attorney general at the doj civil rights division. let me ask you this, was it more important for president trump to, a, fire or threaten jeff sessions or, b, sort of wound him and have his hands tied a little bit as we move forward in the russia investigation? >> i'm not sure what exactly what the president was thinking because i don't think if helps him at all, either way. because jeff sessions is now recused from russia investigation. if what he wants is somebody else who is going to get rid of the russia investigation, he needs to get rid of him completely. it's an attorney general who is largely carrying out his agenda on immigration and other issues. >> speaking of getting another attorney general, there are a few folks on capitol hill who, number one, have something to say about that and number two,

had something to say about it. here is a tweet from chuck grassley. everybody in d.c. should be warned that the agenda for the judiciary committee is set for the rest of 2017. judges first, subcabinet, ag, no way. everybody could have probably been replaced with @realdonald trump in this tweet. if by the tweet of the judiciary chairman, mr. sessions goes and then you end up with rod rosenstein. if the president doesn't like jeff sessions, then he doesn't like rosenstein better. >> rosenstein made a decision to appoint mueller. i'm not sure this has been game out by the white house unless they have a plan that no one is sure about, i think there will be a lot of pushback to protect attorney general sessions. leland: some of the video of sessio

sessions, some in el salvador talking about taking on ms-13. he doesn't seem to be going against the president, he seems to go going about his job. and this is an interesting tweet after the back and forth with sessions, right after reince priebus that took this out of the headlines. and this is from cody keenan. and reince is fired and hello, it's bob mueller. does firing the chief of staff change anything about the russia investigation other than reince priebus would change his motivations a little bit? does mueller have different access, if you will? >> i don't think so. i think that reince priebus has been around town. they would speak with him anyway at some point. whether he's in or out. leland: executive privilege? >> no, because it would have been executive privilege while speaking with the president, to the extent that--

now that he's outside, it doesn't change the status of the conversations while he was inside. leland: got it. >> because the president's to assert. unless he had a total change of heart and became an enemy and sought to hurt the president, i don't think it matters at all for the investigation. leland: all right. bob driscoll, stand by for a second. this is from the president's twitter feed. it's raining today, sometimes the president plays golf on saturdays. he's not golfing, but tweeting, if a new health care bill is not approved quickly, bailouts for insurance companies and for congress as well. leland: this is something he's threatening congress with, if they don't things to change the law a little bit. not sure if you're an expert in this. what level of authority does the president have over the subsidies that congress and congressional staffers get that are sort of outside the normal bounds of obamacare? >> i don't think the president has much that he'll be able to do. i think that most of that is

handled by house administration and things like that. certainly not an expert. but i think what you see is the president trying to put some pressure on congress and do what he can by executive order. i think what he's in some ways, although he campaigned hard against president obama, even though he's replacing obama, he's turning to executive order, if i can't get it done through congress i'll do as much as i can without it. leland: we'll look into what we were talking about, exactly what the president may mean by that tweet about health care. mr. driscoll, thank you as always. appreciate your insights on everything. a man of many trades. thank you. liz. elizabeth: well, a step forward for north korea's nuclear ambitions and a corresponding rise in regional tensions that puts forth efforts at a diplomatic efforts at a major crossroads. the hermit kingdom's second test of an inter-continental ballistic middle. hi, kitty. >> north korea has claimed the

latest missile launch to be a success. as you say it's another test, a second test of an inter-continental ballistic missile. the latest test flew at altitude over 2000 miles. it traveled for 47 minutes before landing in the sea. now, this is interesting. experts say the launch appears to show technical improvements in the missile development. it is more powerful, they believe, and they think that now parts of the u.s. could potentially be within reach of a north korean missile strike if that had flown at a lower trajectory. north korean state media broadcast news of the launch claiming this latest test confirmed the missile system is reliable, and that state tv also apparently showed a picture of north korean leader kim jong-un signing a document to approve this latest launch, and it aired footage of him personally supervising the test at the launch site itself. the north korean leader says

the launch sends a quote, stern warning to the u.s., but president trump has condemned this latest launch as reckless and he says the test will further isolate north korea. of course, the country has continued with these missile tests in defiance of a u.n. ban and seemingly undeterred sanctions. and secretary of state rex tillerson saying that both china and russia bear some responsibility for the threat of north korea. the white house has previously said that all options are on the table when it comes to dealing with the leadership in pyongyang and today, there was a joint exercise in response to that missile test. there is general concern now that north korea is increasing its missile development program. elizabeth. elizabeth: right. absolutely. kitty, thank you so much. later in our show we're going to have some analysis on the diplomatic and military options for the community in the wake of north korea's latest moves.

leland: what those are. timeless bravery, a u.s. soldier's sacrifice on a vietnamese hill nearly a half century ago now remembered and honored. the senseless violence from a straight gang-- a street gang and now the president is saying he is going to do something about it. >> ms-13, the cartel, has spread gruesome bloodshed, we've gotten a lot out of them. the rest are coming, be out of here quickly, quickly.

>> our hearts and our nation grieve for the victims and their families since january 16th. think of this, ms-13 gang

members have brutally murdered 17 beautiful young lives in this area on long island alone. we cannot accept this violence one day more. leland: president trump calls them animals. in a series of high profile events this week, mr. trump and his attorney general are vowing to smash the ms-13 street gang. the international crime organization has spread its violent reach into communities across the united states, comes from central america, and it's now becoming a bigger part of the larger debate over illegal immigration. joining us with former detective rod wheeler. >> good to be here. leland: we've go the bloods and the crips and the gang violence every month. and is ms-13 dangerous or simply feeding into the

immigration narrative for the president? >> they're particularly dangerous. as a matter of fact, they're extremely dangerous. when you look at the types of crimes that they commit, trafficking in weapons, a lot of weapons throughout mexico, through el salvador. when you look at the fact that they're trafficking individuals into our country, that's illegal, to join their groups here in the united states and then the types of murders and things they commit. they literally torture their victims and i think this is something, leland, that's recognized by police departments and police chiefs across the country and that's why the president is taking a stand on this, as well as jeff sessions. leland: all right, the president is saying we're going to focus on target ms-13 and go after them in a much tougher way. >> that's right. leland: does that actually mean anything? can they do anything that's going to make a difference? >> i think so. as a matter of fact, when you start looking at the actual numbers, i don't have the actual numbers here, but we've seen somewhat of a decrease in

crimes as those committed by ms-13. it's been on six months. attorney general sessions and the president have focused on cutting down these individuals from the angle of illegal immigration. that's a smart move, why? because a lot of individuals that are committing these crimes, believe it or not, they come in the country illegally. if we focus on that, maybe that way we can get these individuals out of the country. the problem is they're terrorizing a lot of our communities in the united states and that's why the president has made this a priority. leland: yeah, we're seeing sort of on the lower third there, on the right of your screen, some of the things that ms-13 has done. some of their tactics that makes them different than the bloods and the cripps. he says we have your back not like old times, clear, sort of

referring to president obama. and then the president said this. >> when you see these thugs being thrown in the back of a patty wagon, you seem them thrown in rough, i said please don't be too nice. like when you guys put somebody in the car and you're protecting their head, you know, when you put your hand up. like, don't hit their head and they've just killed somebody. don't hit their head. i said you can take the hand away, okay? >> you put a lot of people in the back of squad cars, rod. how did you feel when you heard that. >> the way i interpreted that, the president wasn't saying to violate anybody's civil rights. don't deal with them harshly. leland: is there a need for a change in police tactics, is there a way for some of the gang techniques-- >> let me tell you some of the gangs of very dangerous. you look at ms-13, the types of

weapons they use and how brutal these folks are. they have no regard with any of these communities so we have to be extremely tough with those folks and that's what the president is talking about. he's saying don't deal with them with kid gloves. they want to deal hard, let's bring it to them. leland: to that point, violence seems to be the only language these folks understands. they are not swayed by anything else. rod, thank you. elizabeth: he's-- what it means when you're a medal recipient. >> my wife hates when i say i'm not a hero. the heroes are no longer with us. (dog) mmm. this new

beneful grain free is so healthy... oh! farm-raised chicken! mmm...that's some really good chicken. i don't think i've ever tasted chicken like this. what!? here come the accents. blueberries and pumpkin. wow. that was my favorite bite so far. not even kidding. i mean that was...

...oh! spinach! mmm. that's like three super foods. pretty, uh, well...super. now i got kind of a pumpkin, chicken thing going on... ...whoop! time to wrestle. (avo) new beneful grain free. out with the grain, in with the farm-raised chicken. healthful. flavorful. beneful.

>> a vietnam war hero will be the first service member to receive the medal of honor from president trump. at the age of 23, army medic, doc as his comrades called him, repeatedly risked his on life in a kill zone. he saved the lives of platoon members while in combat with the north vietnamese army. he will receive an award for his bravely at the white house.

>> about ten meters away two were looking at me like i'm looking at you only they've got ak-47's in their hands and i had given my weapon up and folger and aiken, they don't have any weapons either. and i said, gentlemen, follow me. and i turned and i sprinted down that trench line and i realized this is slowing me up, so, i got out in the open because i could run faster and i'm weaving and literally, could hear and see the bullets skipping off the ground. they're fired at me. elizabeth: such an unbelievable story. with us today to tell us a little more about the history behind the medal of honor is a military history curator at the smithsonian. thank you for joining us, frank. >> glad to be here, thank you. elizabeth: this is humbling for president trump what's happening on monday. and obviously, for doc, if you will, respectfully. i want to ask you, what are the

guidelines? what does it take to be a medal of honor recipient. it's a huge honor, the highest you could receive. >> it is indeed the highest award for military valor for action that any member of the armed forces could receive. they look at gallantry, above and beyond the call of duty. what does that entail? in this case, doc's case he was nominated for the medal of honor, reduced to a bronze store with v for valor. in wake of ashton carter's request to review all military declarations for valor from the conflicts in iraq and afghanistan, doc's case was brought back to the forefront. normally there's only about a five year window. elizabeth: it's a long process, but it's within five years. >> it's about five years. >> there have been other individuals in the nation's history, specifically, african-americans in world war ii, asian-americans in world war ii, hispanic-americans, as

well as jewish, members of the jewish faith who were nominated for the award, but based on prejudices did not receive them. so we've seen this beginning in the mid to late 1990's under president clinton and moving to president bush some of the people recognized 50, 60, not quite 70 years. elizabeth: who initiates the process? i know that lawmakers are involved in this one. it's lengthy process just to get the nomination. >> some of the recent activities in afghanistan and iraq, they will gather statements literally within hours, when they gather witness statements they'd have a portfolio, photographs, if possible, maps of the engagement and witness statement. this will move its way along the bureaucracy department of defense eventually up to the secretary. either secretary of defense and then up to the president who makes the decision to award the

medal or not. and that's a five-year window. members of congress can request a reexamination of an individual's nomination. which is the case. >> how many medal of honor recipients are there? >> there have been 3,498 recipients since 1862. i believe 1862 when the first medals were awarded, however, we only have 71 living recipients. elizabeth: and how does a person's life change when they've received this honor? >> as many say they're recipients and they are caretakers of the actual decoration. their name may be engraved on the back of the medal, but they're a caretaker and they receive that medal in recognition of their comrades in arms. there are, of course, benefits that people could think of, intrinsic benefits, salary increases, there's a specific flag, there might be license plates. elizabeth: we like to draw attention to the lives lost. >> that's the focus, that's the focus, the individuals. the men they served with, and also the ideals of the medal. the ideals of the nation,

integrity, character, honor in service. these are all the ideals that are entrenched within that individual decoration. elizabeth: ai only have a few seconds left. what will take place on monday? >> the award citation will be read aloud to those present. and the president will drape the medal around his neck with an assistant. and we'll hear some words in recognition of the action, the experience that's performed upon him and in recognition of his comrades. elizabeth: frank, thank you so much ahead of this historic day on monday. we appreciate you joining us. >> thank you for having me. elizabeth: leland. leland: and we'll await that ceremony. this time here on saturday, the white house looking to find its footing under a new chief of staff and regroup after obamacare repeal and replace failure on the senate floor. we tell you in the past few minutes how the president is trying it change the conversation and after months

of violent clashes against the government, it could come down to this, a vote in venezuela and there is an american man behind bars in the middle of it all. we're going to talk to his mother coming up next. . . >> my heart hurts all the time. i mean, my -- my anxiety level. i don't think that you realize until your child is facing danger or you've lost a child, that you can even imagine how much you can hurt. you don't g keep you sidelined. that's why you drink ensure. with 9 grams of protein and 26 vitamins and minerals. for the strength and energy to get back to doing... ...what you love. ensure. always be you.

>> we are in america's news headquarters and there's a lot of news in washington to talk about. neil: here is what is making news, inside the white house shakeup and how anthony scaramucci is cracking down on leakers. live at the white house. >> pushback in congress over tough talk about jeff sessions. we talk with congressman mo brooks who is running for the ag's former senate seat. neil: tough new sanctions are

headed to the president's desk. we will break them down coming up. >> general john kelly starts monday as chief of staff, the first former general since the nixon era. he was known for his discipline in war. the big question is can he bring the discipline to the west wing? doug mc kellway on the white house lawn. are people worried about the new sheriff coming to town? how does it feel? >> they hope they recover from the tumult. this was the most tumultuous week of the still young trump administration. it began with the resignation of sean spicer. anthony scaramucci was named communications director earlier this week and then his tirade in which he thought he was off the

record and the new york reported that he was on the record. there was the failure of the skinny repeal bill, a huge legislative priority and the sacking of chief of staff rights priebus and his replacement with general john kelly is chief of staff. trump and priebus tried to put the best face on this, the president tweeting think rights priebus for his dedication to his country. we accomplished a lot together and i am proud. priebus refusing to answer any questions in an interview last night with sean hannity about the infighting and backstabbing in the administration staff. here he is. >> that subject is getting in the mud and the intrigue stuff is annoying and a distraction that takes away from the president's agenda. everyone needs to focus on the president, the things he wants to get done for the american people. i know his heart, he is an

incredibly hard-working president. >> reporter: the appointive general kelly to assume the job of chief of staff, the white house turning a corner now. >> in general kelly the president has selected someone who knows how to organize, that is not to say the outgoing chief of staff did not. people will look on it that way but he should be thanked for his service and sacrifice. these are tough jobs, a pressure cooker environment. as you know, people want it to get clouded up and gummed up with noise. >> reporter: there are those who say this white house chaos has nothing to do with white house staffing below the rank of vice president but it has to do with the president himself at a staff that tries for me late policy based on unanticipated and

unexpected presidential tweets. we talked about that with the transgender policy which was issued. secretary of defense matus got word of it the day before but the joint chiefs of staff and head of the military had no idea about this policy. there is and was at that time noel white house information and limitation policy. it continues to some extent. elizabeth: thanks. the departure of priebus casts a rocky seven days of staff shakeups, the latest move comes a day after the new communications director anthony scaramucci alluded priebus might be behind media leaks from the white house. on sean hannity last night, those are backstage drama that are way off base. >> the palace intrigue stuff is annoying and a distraction that takes away from the president's agenda. elizabeth: here to talk about the future a fair and balanced

political panel, former chief of staff for senate majority leader mitch mcconnell and the democratic strategist and former epa liaison for barack obama. thank you for joining us. i want to start with you, dan. interested in your reaction, one of the most are manic shakeups we have seen but some articles blaming priebus for things like not being able to keep the white house focused. is that fair? he had a strong leadership role but there are a lot of moving parts. >> it is complicated. i have known priebus for a long time in the state senate campaign and 2004, a guy i have known for quite a bit. he had a tough job. there is a great story and politico about the challenge he had running from one meeting to the next, tracking what his boss is doing it any given moment.

when your boss tweet something at 7:00 in the morning that no one has heard of or thought through or had a policy about, makes the job difficult and challenge is for general kelly that he may have the respect of donald trump but that won't change the behavior of the president. elizabeth: not exactly a fair criticism of reince priebus. >> there is a management problem in the white house. impossible from the outside to say the extent or cause of these management problems but if you are a republican you have to be encouraged by the choice of general kelly, here is a man that not only reflects the fact the white house knows it has a management problem but somebody who would bring the kind of discipline the organization needs. elizabeth: the president is not a fan of politicians. is bringing a general into this role something that helps the administration? >> the president has an

admiration for men in the military and in this case is matching that instinct with a real need which is discipline and focus in the white house. if you are a republican you have to be encouraged by the fact that a marine general is running an operation the needs his help. elizabeth: do you need experience? don't get me wrong, the general has experienced the talking about political experience. >> you have to have that. it is a political job, instinct matter, understanding how to tackle situations in the moment is going to matter. fundamentally i agree with ryan. basic organization, structure, ability to roll out policy decisions in a coordinated fashion have not happened. the scaramucci rollout has been a disaster for him and the president distracting from things. shinzo abe elizabeth: it is not a disaster because this is the way communicates, very straightforward, he didn't know

he was on the record. when that article was written the night before the health care bill, that is what the president was talking about, jeff sessions, scaramucci, intrigue between reince priebus and the rest of the building, not getting the message out to get 51 vote on an important health care bill they did not get done. elizabeth: what is next? we see these shakeups as things that are not getting done. >> it is no coincidence the motion to proceed succeeded earlier this week after serious engagement by the white house on health care and the vote following failed on thursday, the same day a new white house advisor was attacking steve bannon in the new yorker. elizabeth: are things looking up for this administration? >> i will believe it when i see it. elizabeth: let's give everybody a chance and see. appreciate you joining us today. tax reform and defense spending on the big items waiting for

debate from congress but some of those goals on donald trump's agenda are tied to a victory in healthcare. here's a look at how lawmakers are moving forward after a surprising healthcare defeat. >> reporter: mitch mcconnell said for a few weeks that if republicans repeal and replace obamacare they would have to work with democrats to simply fix it. even as the senate voted on the skinny repeal bill a number of gop senators were meeting with democrats to see what fixes to the healthcare system they could agree on. at his weekly press conference chuck schumer laid out what democrats want to see done on health care. >> first thing we want to do is try, whether it is budget negotiations or elsewhere, make the cost-sharing permit, the insurance industry hardly our allies, have said the number one way to stabilize the system and keep premiums down is may cost-sharing permanent and that would have bipartisan support. >> reporter: that might have

support among moderate republicans. many conservatives have fought that proposal calling in another insurance bailout. donald trump suggested he might not be a fan of that idea tweeting of the new health care bill is not approved quickly, they allow for insurance companies and members of congress will end very soon. the latest blow to his agenda president pushing the senate to change rules to help his other agenda items get through tweeting very outdated filibuster must go. budget reconciliation killing republicans in the senate. mitch mcconnell, go to 51 votes now and win. it is time. mitch mcconnell has previously said he has no intention of doing that and it is not the way the government was supposed to work. speaking of work congress has a lot on its plate apart from healthcare including tax reform, the debt ceiling and funding the government, none of which are expected to happen either. elizabeth: thank you so much.

leland: things could change in the senate. there is a special election for attorney general jeff sessions's former senate seat but with the fallout from the failed healthcare vote, one of those candidate for the seat says majority leader mitch mcconnell should step down. >> each mcconnell has been an abject failure coming up with a plan that musters the 51 votes to proceed through the senate. at this point if i were mitch mcconnell i would resign and let somebody else provide the leadership that is necessary. tax reform next, infrastructure next and down the list. leland: that was congressman bo brooks downstairs on capitol hill and we are joined by congressman brooks, appreciate it. >> my pleasure, good to hear from you. leland: a guy who could be the new majority leader is going to

resign but that tweet garrett tenney put up from donald trump a few minutes ago, if a new health care bill is not approved quickly bailouts for insurance company, bailouts for members of congress will end very soon. that is the president's proclamation. you are more of an expert on this than anybody, congressman. what power does the president have other than the bully pulpit to end bailouts for subsidies congressional staff gets. >> the president of the united states has tremendous power in this context. we are looking at a roughly $700 billion deficit this year, money we don't have. we can't afford to pay it back. the president is with his rights to cut spending in any part of the federal government to the extent we don't have the money to pay for it and i would like to see donald trump exercise that prerogative on the executive branch more aggressively whether it is on

health care or another issue, no constitutional requirement. leland: this threat from the president to end bailouts, the subsidies house staffers get to buy policies on the exchanges. will that change anything for the health care debate, do you agree on anything? >> i don't know how that would play out politically long-term. the problem we are facing is the united states senate is dysfunctional. let's get back to mitch mcconnell. his job as majority leader is to lead and come up with a plan that can cobble together the majority votes necessary to pass whatever the agenda item happens to be. mitch mcconnell failed at that and in my mind we need to give somebody the opportunity, there are 52 senators. which one is bold enough or aggressive enough or conservative enough to do what he's doing.

leland: if you need to be against someone or something the republicans are finding out, harder to be for it and pass it, who would you suggest should take over as majority leader if not mitch mcconnell? >> i'm not going to take any particular person right now. i am in the house but a number come to mind. leland: congressman, hold on. you are running for the senate. if you are successful who would you want to be the majority leader? you said mitch mcconnell should be fine. if you are elected who would you support? >> who what i like to see? one of the conservatives, could be ted cruz, could be rand paul, could be mike lee, there are a dozen or 2 dozen different individuals in the united states senate who arboles, newer, more aggressive, have more energy and are conservative. i would like to see us have a conservative majority leader who will support donald trump's

america first agenda. leland: if elected to the senate you would get to vote on one of those. here's the latest polling in the alabama senate race and the republican primary coming up, the current senator, a good friend of jeff sessions, luther strange, 25%, roy moore, 10 commandments judge 33%, you are at 16%. this is one of your latest campaign ads. let me play your campaign at. >> that is all bunk. that poll, by way of example it had listed in fourth place in australia -- out of nine republicans -- an australian is number 4, the person who has not lived in the state of alabama until the day she came from australia. no credibility. leland: we got -- >> with this methodology. leland: we got that you disagree with the poll, it had sound methodology.

we will leave the poll aside. this is the ad that is on the her. >> the other polling data i can give you a lot more polling data that shows how badly off that poll is if you wish but all i can say is i look forward to being in the united states senate, the when you claim is a close friend of jeff sessions i respectfully disagree. leland: a lot of points of disagreement, i look forward to the polling and talking about that was i want to play the ad that is on the air from your campaign in alabama and get your reaction. >> change your views on the gun situation? >> second amendment, the right to bear arms. leland: that is an ad about your reaction after the congressional shooting the left steve scully's badly wounded. there has been a lot of reporting his office among others took exception to you using the congressional shooting for political purposes, wants to give you the opportunity to

respond. >> i disagree with your trying to promote luther strange's approach to this as you seem to be doing. i wish you wouldn't do that but i was in their too. i was in the middle of that shootout that involves 100 shots being fired and i'm trying to stress strongly my support for the second amendment. in that setting where a liberal reporter comes up to me and tries to get me to jog off my belief in the second amendment i want to the american people and particularly voters in alabama to understand my commitment, we thought it was very concise and effective in showing my commitment after having been in a gun battle and not wavering in my support of the second amendment right to bear arms. leland: i don't think anyone would question. >> as an aside i don't understand why anyone in washington would be upset with that. >> al: we are not broadcasting that in washington. anyone complaining about it had to search to find it. we are not broadcasting anywhere except the state of alabama.

establishment type folks are searching for an ad they can criticize to help mitch mcconnell put in a gentleman we believe in alabama unethically obtained an appointment to the united states senate by holding over the head of the governor a prosecution. that is a clear violation of prosecutorial ethics and one of the reasons there are 17 people in this race. leland: given the accusations we will invite senator strange who has been on the program before to come back and reactivated have you on before the election. >> that is why we are having a special election, the ethical cloud over this issue. leland: we will wait, appreciate your time. >> certainly. leland: fox news will have the latest on the healthcare vote fallout. it is quite the contentious issue. what comes next for congress? chris wallace will sit down for an exclusive interview with nancy pelosi.

if you know chris and you know nancy pelosi you do not want to miss this. check your local listings for time and general and at 11:00 eastern media buzz will look at the media coverage of the latest white house shakeup and there has been a lot in the last 24 hours. elizabeth: after the break, millions of americans dealing with flash floods and high windss in the northeast including in the nation's capital. we are tracking it all in the extreme weather center. >> reporter: a real slow mover. it will track off into the atlantic but how much more rain is on the way? that is coming up after the break later. elizabeth: the uss ford passes a crucial test. we will show you the high-tech system designed to get pilots off and on the aircraft carrier quickly and safely. the fight to free americans are scold who has been stuck in a venezuelan prison for more than

a year. we will speak to his mother whose biggest fear is he might end up tragically like the american imprisoned in north korea. >> i'm afraid i will not see him again alive.

>> we braved the weather to be here today. there was an unusually destructive summer storm that unloaded heavy rains in the washington dc area friday into today, downing trees, flash floods in rock creek park and surrounding suburbs. authorities shut down several roads and we know what that does to washington traffic. first responders had to deal with high waters, rain will taper off saturday mid afternoon and thankfully temperatures are just a little bit cooler now this weekend. >> adam is in the fox weather center with the latest on these storms and fairly chilly conditions. >> cooling us off quite a bit, that is the truth and you're dealing with some of those spots of heavy rain. you are looking at rain structuring across the southeast

along the east coast and there's going to be some areas where folks continue to battle that rain at least for a little while. future radar and the timestamp, this rain lingering through the dc area, the baltimore area, areas of maryland. we may see heavy rain in isolated areas through the rest of today, maybe into early tomorrow. here is what we are going to see, rainfall totals and getting areas right along the coast, getting up to an additional from what we have seen and there has been a good amount of rain, three or four inches in certain areas which could cause flash flooding. we are under flood advisories throughout the region of baltimore to philadelphia toward washington dc and back to the west. all areas where flash flooding could be an issue as the system moves offshore later today into the overnight hours. for the rest of the country these temperatures quite a bit cooler, 71 in new york city but

back to the west, the real heat has settled into portions of texas, 94 ° in dallas, 93 in corpus christi but before it is said and done highs are in the 105 range, heat indices close to a bucket 10. cooler air on the east coast good news but still some folks really battling that he did. >> i was in dallas yesterday, there was nothing cool about it. >> they are the ones who need the rain. leland: the weather was picture-perfect off the virginia coast yesterday for the first ever carrier catapult shot with the navy's electromagnetic catapult, the navy promised last week it would work and here is video proof that it did. even donald trump once took a shot at the electromagnetic catapult system but yesterday the navy shot off one of the f-18 superhornets. you see them celebrating. donald trump commissioned the uss gerald ford last weekend.

the ship includes not only the new catapult but $12.9 billion worth of new gear that includes a new way to trap planes once they land as we took a tour of the flight deck to learn what the changes all mean. >> make sure the airplane stops on the deck. >> sweep the arresting wires coming each is completely different system and they have a hydraulic engine, hours, the main stopping force is a water twister. that is a redesigned system as well and first of its kind. elizabeth: would love to be there. leland: now you get to see it work. the navy has a lot riding on this. donald trump tweeted about the capital system and i interviewed the chief of naval operations and that you are sure this is going to work? oh yes, we really sure. they waited for perfect weather which helps. elizabeth: it was neat to see you there last weekend. coming up after the break, a

in venezuela. a 10 situation, and have senator orrin hatch on, a breath of fresh air, a special prosecutor. >> we have not heard at all from the attorney general, who helped file this charge. and being left out for house arrests. and it is two weeks. >> the trump administration announced a new round of sanctions, and an american being held illegally by president medora over a year now. argue pleased that he is stepping in, there is talk of

additional sanctions? >> i am thankful -- from the very beginning i know he has been working a mile -- these sanctions do scare me. any time something happens in venezuela, the core system shutdown, it affects everything. nothing moves. locked them down. that is a big fear of mine, once the united states does do something to venezuela that will make them mad. >> you have not been done but your lawyer has, joshua's a lawyer. is the lawyer traveling back

>> north korea launching another icbm, us cities like denver and chicago in their crosshairs and continued testing, and the president among others, and bipartisan policy center. bipartisan indeed, every time they have one of these lunches, and do this or that or this or that, and seems to do none of it and seems to do none of it or is it something different than the previous administration. >> we have seen donald trump try

to take a different track pressuring china rather than engaging with north korea directly. the risks of action so great and imminent, and successor has to do that. leland: it seems we are seeing the risk of inaction. they have a nuclear weapon, there was first strike capability, and icbm, a way to prevent that. video of kim jung un celebrating a lot. north koreans are not shining away. they step up the pressure, china is conducting live fire drills near the korean peninsula. the morning post has a good barometer of these things, put up this picture of chinese military drills. that would out of come out if the chinese military didn't

wanted to climb out. the military sending a message, who are they trying to send a message to? >> they are trying to message north korea and the united states. china fears chaos on the korean peninsula that would lead to refugees coming and but also any possibility of regime change in pyongyang. the same time it is trying to tell them both not to do anything crazy. hard to see how they do that much longer. secretary tillerson said the united states cannot accept a nuclear armed north korea. we have been accepting it for ten years. will we experience something now? leland: is there a red line? north koreans haven't conducted a nuclear test in a while, have they been given a behind the scenes red line? any reporting on that? >> as it relates to north korea

getting an icbm, it seems there is a public red line. the reason you haven't seen clear testing is they have nuclear weapons. the next step is miniaturization. on top of an icbm is a little harder and takes more time, the next test will mean they both have the missile on top of it. leland: you don't do that, maybe they would irritate china if they launched a missile with a nuclear warhead on top. how do they prove that? what is the next thing to look for before they launch something like that? >> a next nuclear test. and testing what -- >> it is miniaturized it. some knowledge of what -- how

big it was. and a miniaturized -- they have the capability of doing that. >> even if these things between where they are now and a preemptive strike, there is a big distance. appreciate your insights. elizabeth: a tragic story out of indiana. the investigation, police lieutenant aaron allen who died of gunshot wounds after pulling over to help victims of the car crash, he was only 38 years old. >> with a heavy heart, we lost lieutenant aaron allen.

lieutenant aaron allen was a background in nursing, trying to help. two people still inside the car were dangling by their seatbelts when the driver who is still upside down allegedly started shooting. documents show lieutenant alan was shot 14 times. two other officers returned fire injuring one person in the car. jason brown, the reported driver, has since been arrested and charged with murder. lieutenant alan was pronounced dead at a local hospital. >> it is with a heavy heart that i say this afternoon we lost brother lieutenant aaron allen. >> reporter: his nickname was teddy bear. he was a sincere veteran with the police department who had 20 years law enforcement experience. in 2015 he was named officer of the year after saving a man's life at the state fairgrounds and was husband and father of two boys, residents who live near where the shooting took

place are outraged. >> i was in the service. it is a brotherhood. some foolishness like this. >> reporter: 22 offices have been shot and killed in the line of duty in the united states and it comes after a spike in officer deaths last year compared to 2014. and figuring out the motive for the attack. elizabeth: thank you so much. >> pickle ice cream is a real thing. the city celebrating that among other things, video of the extra coming up. what is the biggest complaint among airline passengers, we don't have time to go through the mall but we have new rules that could stretch the boundaries. ♪ let's fly away ♪ if you can use some exotic
