>> gianno caldwell, first timer, awesome to have you. >> it was fun. >> you've got to see this guy dressed up in a bow tie. >> am looking forward to it. >> melissa: of fox news alert from fox news global headquarters in new york, president trump is set to make fresh remarks one hour from now when he addresses the national convention of the american legion. >> jon: air force one set to touch down in reno, nevada, after departing arizona with the president delivered animated remarks last night that put plenty of people, even some within his own party, on notice. recovering all the news "happening now." >> we have to close down our government, we are building that wall. >> jon: a strong statement inside phoenix's convention center. and so do protesters outside. also, the navy plans to relieve

the commander of the seventh fleet as the search was on for the missing sailors after another deadly collision at sea. plus, have you got your powerball ticket for what is expected to be the second largest jackpot in u.s. history? it's all "happening now" ." we begin with this fox news alert as we await remarks from president trump and nevada following a fiery speech last night in arizona, hello and welcome to the second hour of "happening now" ." i'm jon scott. >> melissa: i melissa francis, the president traveling to reno to deliver a speech to the american legion national convention, signed a bill making it easier for veterans to pay for benefits. this comes after the president's campaign style rally in phoenix, where he blasted the media, criticized arizona's two republican senators and threatened a government shutdown if congress doesn't fund his

border wall. chief white house white house correspondent john roberts his life with more. >> good afternoon to you, the president will have another friendly crowd to speak to toda today, he likes going back to nevada as well, there are a number of times as a candidate even though the state did eventually go hillary clinton's way in the november election. the speech he will give today, quite a bit different than what we heard last night where he employed some flames or rhetoric, accusing the media of not reporting, misreporting and distorting his comments about charlottesville. the president this afternoon will call for unity in his speech to the american legion convention, he is expected to say in his address "it is time to heal the wounds that have divided us and seek a new unity based on the common values that united us." the president will also recognize the sacrifice of veterans saying they are an inspiration to the nation. "we are here to hold you up as an example of the strength, courage, and love our country

will need to overcome every challenge we face. we are here to draw inspiration from you as we seek to renew the bonds that bind us together as one people and one nation." the president indicate that he plans to pardon the former sheriff who was recently convicted in criminal court even though the other violations he's ever received were a couple of parking tickets according to our file. also announcing the north american free trade agreement will likely die and it no matter what it takes he will likely build a wall on the border with mexico. >> the obstructionist democrats would like us to do it but believe me, we would have to won our government if we have to do build that wall. let me be clear to republicans in congress who stand in the way

of border security, you are putting all of america's safety at risk, you are doing that. >> the president's threat to shut down democrats and republicans couldn't agree on border wall, "if the president pursues this path against the wishes of both republicans and democrats, as well as the majority of the american people, he will be heading toward a government shutdown which nobody will like and which will not accomplish anything." the president also took aim at members of his own party last night, without mentioning by a name senators jeff flake and john mccain, reminding the crowd that john mccain torpedoed a vote on obamacare repeal and made it clear how he feels about flake, who he is strongly opposing and next year's midterm elections. >> nobody wants me to talk about your other senator, who is weak on borders, weak on crime, so i won't talk about him.

nobody wants me to talk about him, nobody knows who he is. >> when congress comes back from its recess the day after labor day, things are going to get pretty interesting around here. >> melissa: i can't wait, efficient, comprehensive, we love it. thank you, my friend. >> jon: the president using the power of the bully pulpit to hit his critics and hammer home his need to get the agenda passed in congress. we are now are some more of his remarks from phoenix last night. >> i'm here tonight to send a message. we are fully and totally committed to fighting for our agenda and we will not stop until the job is done. but they don't report the facts. just like they don't want to

report that i spoke out forcefully against hatred, bigotry, and violence and strongly condemned the neo-nazis, the white supremacist, and the kkk. i have a message for congress tonight. your job is to represent american families, american people, american workers. you need to represent them on the border. on taxes, on health care. one vote. and on every other issue that affects their lives. >> jon: joining us now, michael warren, senior writer for "the weekly standard." as you review the content of the president's speech and appearance in phoenix, what would you say? >> i'm still trying to figure that out. he was there, he said he wanted

to talk to people about how he is still pushing forward on his agenda but we didn't hear much in the way of details on that agenda. he brought up the new afghanistan policy that he talked about before, he didn't have much in the way of details about tax reform, he did touch on the border wall, saying he was considering shutting down the government in order to get it. it sort of unclear about what the purpose of this speech was other than it seems to me to sort of have a good time. have a bunch of people there who support him to clap and celebrate the president. without pushing forward, any kind of cohesive argument or any policy, to push back against criticisms against those policies, i don't see any sort of purpose here.

>> jon: his pointed criticisms of fellow republicans deprived a lot of people, especially when he is going to need those members of the senate to try to get his agenda passed. >> people didn't expect this because of arizona and the senators you have mentioned who have been radical of the president, this has been a real problem for the republican party in general here in washington, they are bitterly divided, "the new york times" reporting about that division between the president and mitch mcconnell. this is a group of people, the people in the senate, the house republicans, who the president is going to need to push forward on that agenda. i think the speech last night gives none of those republicans were on the fence of reason to get out and work with the president. >> jon: "the new york times" is reporting the majority leader of the u.s. senate, mitch mcconnell, is basically wondering aloud to aids whether

this administration can save itself. >> this is a bad moment right now for the president, it would be a good moment for him to bridge that gap. the fact that he is giving credence to a primary challenge challenger, look, arizona is not a state that the president won by a big margin. there is a very growing democratic contingent data that can contest that, certainly in a senate race. this is a senate seat republicans need to keep. the president is really not doing anything to health the incumbent. maybe another republican can do well but there are democrats who think they can win back the seat, that's got to be angering mitch mcconnell. >> jon: you've got to raise the debt ceiling, there is talk

about passing some kind of tax reform legislation, it would seem the president needs as many allies as he can find on capitol hill. >> i talked to the white house, on a continuing resolution, the budget resolution that's going to be coming up next month, it's likely there is going to be a clean budget resolution to push back this question of the wall and border funding a couple of months back to kind of basically give republicans in congress to figure if they can come together on something. with the president said last night, that he is considering shutting down the government, that throws all those plans the white house is making and i am hearing this from them, to the wayside. i think there's a problem here as well, as the white house official said last week, of the president going rogue and setting the agenda and a big political rally rather than with his aides and trying to figure out the best way forward for his agenda. >> jon: it was some kind of theater. we will see if there is more on

that in the weeks and months ahead. michael warren, thank you. >> melissa: congressional investigators grilled one of the men responsible for producing an unverified dossier of allegations involving president trump. glen simpson, he was the cofounder of fusion, met with the senate judiciary committee yesterday. simpson hired a former british intelligence officer to find ties between intelligence associates and russia and create the dossier. catherine herridge is live in washington at one point this story was white-hot but now we don't hear that much about it. >> that might have to do with the fact that congress is in recess. the statement from simpson's lawyer claims that he is being smeared by the campaign team and

allies over the issue. after the senate committee confirms that simpson and his legal team provided thousands of worthless documents to congressional investigators, the statement reads in part "fusions recent production of documents consisted solely of headlines from news reports and over 7500 pages of blank paper. fusion eventually provided a copy of the same unverified dossier that has been publicly available since january. "the senate committee issued a subpoena for simpson to publicly testify, at the same time fox news found simpson and his lawyer reportedly told the committee he was on vacation and traveling through early august. fox news understands that investigators want more information on simpson's sources and who paid for the dossier. last month the committees chairman -- --

the repeal of u.s. sanctions punishing senior u.s. officials for his murder. >> could you explain exactly how mr. simpson manipulated the media to spare you and undermine the act? >> glenn simpson was calling a number of journalists, the story you are pitching was that he had not been murdered but he died of natural causes. that he was not a whistle-blower, he was a criminal. >> simpson is one of the three key witnesses to speak in a private with the senate judiciary committee. >> melissa: it's like a spy novel. >> it is. >> melissa: unbelievable story story. catherine herridge, we really appreciate it. >> jon: the trump administration is trying to broker peace talks between palestinians and israelis, with

the jared kushner, the president's son-in-law visiting. while over there, he is running into a diplomatic snob. how the there could be an impan the legislation the white house wants passed. president trump took a shot at lawmakers on the other side of the aisle in arizona the other night. >> all of the democrats in congress, that's the only thing they do well. they do one thing well, you know what it's called? they have no ideas, they have no policies, they obstruct. that's all they do. with claim rateguard your rates won't go up just because of a claim. i totally could've - no! switching to allstate is worth it.

>> melissa: the president's son-in-law and senior advisor as to the middle east, jared kushner leading a delegation hoping to jump-start peace talks between israelis and palestinians.

he will meet with the israeli prime minister and palestinian president, but the delegation ran into a diplomatic snag during a stop in egypt. conor powell is live from jerusalem with more. >> this trip seemed to have started well, kushner and his team met with leaders from saudi arabia and talked about regional issues including peace process. it was in egypt that this diplomatic effort hit a snag. the trump administration stopped the payment because of egypt's failure to make progress in improving human rights and also democratic institution. this was a bit of a surprise coming from the white house because president trump has praised egypt strongly,

president abdel fattah el-sisi for the fight against terrorism. it does appear there was at least a meeting at this high level but some of the lower level meetings did get canceled. kushner will also be meeting israeli and palestinian leaders in the holy land tomorrow. kushner is going to be meeting with palestinian president mahmoud abbas and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. there are grumblings that there really isn't much meat to the effort here, there really aren't any details to try to get this agreement going and also, prime minister netanyahu is facing allegations of corruption

>> melissa: we are getting the first excerpts from hillary clinton's new book "what happened?"," the memoir of the 2016 election and audio experts first heard on msnbc. she says she feels like she failed her supporters. >> every day that i was a candidate for president, i knew millions of people were counting on me and i couldn't bear the idea of letting them down. but i did, i couldn't get the job done and i will have to live with that for the rest of my life. >> melissa: clinton also revealing why she wrote the boo book. patrick griffin is a former media consultant for republican presidential campaigns, simon rosenberg is a former bill clinton campaign advisor. i have to ask both of you the

same question. why did she write this, of all the things you could do right now, she's got all the money in the world, i don't understand. why write a book? >> let's look at the title, "what happened." she is reporting back to the tens of millions of americans that voted for her. as you pointed out in the audio clip, she is taking responsibility. she feels like she let people down and she wants to give her best take to explain what happened in the selection and why she did not win. >> melissa: i guess. that's probably the thing that makes the most sense. it's a topic that has been exhausted. everybody involved with this has come out and talked about what happened, including herself. she sat on stage and she's done it, there were a million other ways to do it, she could write a

long piece for "the new york times." why write a whole entire book? >> two reasons, melissa. the clintons like money and i think she believes she can get some money from this book and the second reason is, hillary clinton in her own words is baffled as to what happened. the fact that hillary clinton is still out there makes her the undead for the democrats. she is continuing to not go away, she will not go quietly into that good, good night and frankly she should make every democrats skin crawl as long as she is out there continuing to try and get herself into the argument and try to be relevant as we approach 2020. i think she's going to run for president again. >> melissa: i don't buy that money argument because the clintons have more money than god, they don't need any more money. the last publisher took a bath on the book she wrote, it didn't even come close to out earning the advance that she got so i can't imagine this was a huge

financial benefit to her at all. do you think it is about trying to run for something down the road? >> no. i think it's about -- i worked in the war room in 1992 in the basic premise of that was you can't let any attack go unaddressed, it will stick. i think she made a decision, given all the questions about what happened in this election, she was going to give her best shot at it. this is american history. this was a historical election, we will be debating about what happened in the election for the rest of our lives. my guess is she felt -- in the audio you've heard, she felt obligated to explain to the people that she felt she let down about what happened and to give it her best shot to be accountable to her own voters. i really applaud her, frankly. there's no way this is easy, no way she's going to enjoy going around the country and talking about this but i think she felt obligated by history to give it

her best shot from her perspective of what did actually happen. >> melissa: to get on the record, uninterrupted what she thinks happen. the only question that leaves is i wonder who will buy it and read it because the people who love her, it would be painful and agonizing to relive why she lost. for people who don't love her, maybe they would be gleeful but they're not going to buy a whole book and read it. i don't know who is going to buy it, what do you think. >> i don't know who is going to buy it either, you made a point that her previous book did not do well, i don't know that this one will either. the bottom line is, democrats clearly haven't learned anything from her as a terrible candidate running a terrible campaign. that's going to be an interesting thing as we head into 2020. >> melissa: i think the other people around hillary clinton have learned a lot from this, we will see in the book what she's

learned from it. thanks both of you. ♪ >> jon: democrats are hoping to win back the house in the midterms but they are also on defense, trying to protect some seats that could go read. one of them in minnesota's eighth district where rick nolan is running for reelection. he's facing a tight race in a district that went for a president trump up by 15 points last year. live in duluth, minnesota, with that. >> we came here to minnesota's eighth district to figure out why voters here voted to barely elect the democratic congressman but overwhelmingly went for trump. we asked a democratic mayor who ended up voting for a president trump last november, who told us the big issue for him going republican was the president's position on mining. >> we want to go at the party

who represents our best interes interest. i'm not going to blindly follow the party brand because i don't know this party anymore. >> minnesota includes the iron range, is shaping up to be one of the most competitive of next year's midterms. which means all the highest profile surrogates will be here on either side. rick nolan told the team he knows he needs trump voters to win reelection thinks is best shot winning his help from his progressive friends. >> joe kennedy who i think is one of our more promising politicians for the future of this country has been up here campaigning for me, bernie sanders has been up here and campaigned for me, i would love to get elizabeth warren up here to help campaign for me. >> if the prize republican recruit here gets his way, those progressives will be countered by president trump.

another deadly collision in june. national security correspondent jennifer griffin has more than the pentagon. >> he's the highest ranking officer to face discipline just days after the latest deadly collision of the u.s. navy warship at sea. today the commander of the u.s. pacific fleet, relieves the vice admiral. to give you an idea of how big the 7th fleet is, at any given time there are between 60-70 warships, 200-300 vac hundred aircraft and 40,000 marine corps personnel assigned to the pacific. the crash comes days after the navy announced it would punish a dozen sailors from another 7th fleet ship. after seven sailors were killed during a collision in june. two navy captains and now a top

admiral in the pacific have been relieved of duty after four mishaps this year. an unprecedented number of crashes. former navy captains are raising alarm bells about the state of readiness of the ships and crew crews. >> i think what you're seeing is a culmination of years of the navy senior leadership back here in washington, d.c., who have failed to properly man, trained and equip the fleet to do their jobs. >> he will leave the navy with a permanent stain on his record. officials say more diverse and heavy equipment are needed to open up the compartments to gain access to the bodies of missing sailors. officials tell us divers have located some of the bodies but they can't free them due to the damage. a government accountability office study warned that shorter maintenance and training.

periods were taking a toll on the force as resources struck during the last decade but deployment remain the same. >> melissa: what a story, thank you for that. >> no one denies that we have inherited a challenging and troubling situation in afghanistan and south asia, but we do not have the luxury of going back in time and making different or better decisions. and i became president, i was given a bad and very complex hand. but i fully knew what i was getting into. big and intricate problems, but one way or another, these problems will be solved. i am a problem solver. and in the end, we will win. >> jon: that was president trump earlier this week outlining the next phase of u.s. involvement in america's longest war. the pentagon is set to send

several thousand more troops to afghanistan. the first forces could arrive in the next few weeks, let's discuss these new plans with . as you well know, to read some of the headlines the day after the speech, there were a lot of observers who say that with the president announced it isn't any big difference from what the obama administration was doing except perhaps involving more troops. your response? >> i think it's a bold, thoughtful strategy and revises the current policies that were executing. a focus on the troops is probably disproportionate to how comprehensive the strategy truly is. first of all, he's going to get the new troops down at the fighting level where he can help. likely they will increase the special operations forces to go after high-value targets.

he's taken away arbitrary timetables. we are not telling the enemy how long were going to stay at this and that was the problem with the obama administration, we gave a huge advantage to the taliban who just waited us out. he's given the commanders and authorities to go after the enemies the way they see fit, washington is not going to micromanage to this war anymore and that is exactly what we need to do. there is some major revision here. the most significant challenge of the trauma team has got is pakistan because in pakistan is where the two sanctuaries that they've been protecting for 16 years, they lie at the highest levels of their government to our officials and deny the existence of their tangible support for the afghan taliban to help defeat us in this war. they will continue and persist in that lie and we've got to call them on it and get tough

with them. the previous administrations failed miserably, they just walked away from it. war is fundamentally a test of wills. this will be a test of wills for the trauma team in dealing with pakistan. >> jon: i want to turn your attention to what is going on in the pacific. we just heard the commander of the 7th fleet being relieved of duty, what is your assessment? >> he is the first commander in the chain of command who supervises all the vessels that have had the mishaps and that is why he is being relieved. he is likely not personally responsible for those mishaps given his distance from where those mishaps have taken place and they've held the people in charge of those ships accountable. from a commander's perspective, this is the distinction, he is

overall accountable for everything that happens in his command and the navy rightfully so is taking him to task. the navy also is going to pursue very thoroughly what has happened here. i believe it's got to be related to the budget drawdowns we have had all these years and the fact that we are asking our navy and these other services to do more with less. >> jon: unbelievable that 17 families have to learn their sailors were killed when we are not at war, these were just stupid accidents. >> in the united states militar military, we lose hundreds of people every single year to

noncombat related deaths. the instruments of war are as dangerous in peace as they are in war. flying airplanes, ships, road tanks, shooting on micro ranges, these are the instruments of war and they are hazardous to be sure. at times as humans, we can have some awful fatalities. >> jon: we appreciate it, thank you. >> melissa: very big payday for a woman who used baby powder and claims that it caused ovarian cancer. our legal panel is going to debate. plus, the gruesome remains a missing journalist last seen on a submarine are bound at sea. investigators are pointing the finger at the man who built that submarine. one major newspaper is calling

>> usually one vertex like this are issued it's because there were extenuating circumstances, there was some evidence that led the jury to give punitive damages. we've seen in other districts, they hundred and $7 million in punitive damages put out, now we are seeing 407 here. as lawyers bring in more people who are suffering from ovarian cancer and different forms of cancer. >> melissa: speaking of that, there are more than 300 lawsuits pending in california alone and with more than 4500 of them that are alleging the company knew about the link between powder and ovarian cancer. this seems like it could be devastating for the company, would they pull the product? >> i think the ceo of johnson & johnson probably had a headache when he heard this verdict. the problem is they have put so many products on the consumer

line that i've hurt patients talcum powder, mesh, they take a tobacco like defensive to it. instead of admitting to being wrong and helping their customers and patients get healthy again, they fight and they fight and they fight. these juries see a poor person dying of cancer and a publicly traded top 25 company in the united states that should know better and do better and they punish them for it because they know johnson & johnson's tactic is hurting patients and that's the only way products are going to get safe in this country is when juries return verdicts that are large enough to make these companies do the right thing. it's sad this woman has to go through this because there have been studies since 1971 saying talcum powder is dangerous. >> melissa: we've got to hold you guys over to the next block. i would point out that she used it more than every single day for more than 50 50 years.

i would say mr. madsen is in a lot of trouble and he has a really good defense attorney. >> melissa: someone else was there, i am doing my best. >> i don't know what peter madsen has, he's heck of an engineer but not a good reconstructionist, the scene he put together is very bizarre and this is a tragic story. he put himself at the scene of the crime, he was the last person with her. there is witnesses saying they saw him sinking his submarine and the worst part for him is in denmark, beyond a reasonable doubt is not the standard. or they can convict you with circumstantial evidence. i think mr. madsen is going to prison, luckily for him prison sentences are not that long in denmark. i don't think we will see the likes of him for a couple of
