Base in california. Good evening. This was without doubt the most critical test yet of the u. S. Missile Defense System with the pentagon under huge pressure to deliver a successful strike and thus send a powerful message to north korea or any other nation that might target the United States. The launch of the grand base interceptor missile was spectacular and deadly serious. Testing the first line of u. S. Defense should north korea fire a Nuclear Weapons at an american city. The pentagon believe s kim jongun will soon have. A rare and exclusive interview ahead of the test in which the u. S. Launched an unarmed missile from the Pacific Ocean and aiming to take it down with the interceptor launched from california. Its very difficult. We are talking about intercepting in space. Hundreds of miles of altitude with velocity of 1,000 Miles Per Hour per hour. Its hitting a bullet with a bullet. And the difficulties have been evident in past tests, the interceptor just hitting the target half the time. This admiral said the technology improved since the last test in 2014. I am confident this will defend the homeland if attacked. Fox news was given exclusive access where 32 of the u. S. Total 36 interceptors are based in these silos. This is the commanding officer. You have a Nuclear Weapon fired heading for l. A. How many of these do you fire to take it down . The techniques and procedures are classified. We fire more than one. If it is headed to l. A. , we want to make sure we get it. The soldiers here work simulated attacks every day of every week. When we are watching the news and seeing north korea premaypig for a test, you at a different level . Absolutely. Pentagon officials breathe a sigh of relief with this test. They are ready to do their part and aware when it comes to a real nuclear attack, they cant afford to fail even once. Bret thank you. More on this with the panel. President trumps communicational director is out. Michael dubke had been in a turbulent time with communication. And sean spicer was pushing back hard today on the president and his team. Kevin on the lawn. You are right for the first time of in over two weeks sean spicer the press secretary briefed reporters but left the podium abruptly after sparring with reporters over fake news. It was as sudden as it was heated. Sean spicer first oncamera briefing unravelled after he was asked about the president s tweet on fake news. Mr. Trump said russian officials must be laughing at the United States and how the lame excuse as to where the democrats lost the election according to fake news. The president was having a great discussion. Someone from the bbc retweeted that the president was being rude. Some reporters said that was not a big deal. The press secretary shot back. The president is frustrated because there is use of unem named sources over things over and over again that are not happening. Mike dubke resigned after just 3 months on the job. He wrote the reasons are personal but its my great honor to serve President Trump. President obamas first communication director also left the job after 3 months on the job. His departure confirmed the president s frustration that they have been unable to slow stories between the Trump Campaign and russian, none of some have been proven true they have been a spartan crowd at the white house. They need to beef and up and bring in talent dedicated to the president s agenda. Like mr. Trumps former Campaign Manager rumored to be under communication for the president s new war room. The president has surrounded himself with people who Work Together and are able to deal with the news of the day and think longterm. This comes as the americas first agenda is challenging status quo abroad. His tweet that we have a massive trade deficit with germany and pay less than they should on nato and military. This should change. Following Angela Merkels suggestion that europe needs to put its destiny its own hands. Coming on the heels of the president s refusal to back the paris climate afford. The president interviewed a couple more candidates for the vacant fbi director and james pistol, number 2, at the fbi. He also once headed the tsa. Bret thank you. The latest on the russian investigations and the connection to president ial advisor and soninlaw Jared Kushner. What we know and what we dont know. Heres the chief intelligence correspondent. A source spoke to Jared Kushner tells fox news that the meeting with the Russian Ambassador focussed on syria. As part of the transition role engaging with foreign delegation, the source said kushner wanted to do a call to furtherund their complaints. Kushner said it was the russian who raised the issue of using a secure line for the call. Emphasizing it was about syria and not a back channel. The white house spokesman was pressed on the issue. How is it appropriate for a private citizen to condoubt any signed of negotiation with a foreign official . I will refer you to the comments that the secretary said about how they can be important to diplomacy. Anonymously sources told the Washington Post that kushner wanted to set up a back channel using russian facilities to make them for difficult to track. Kushners lawyers said he will share when what we knows from congress. Unnamed officials told the paper it was unclear how the Russian Ambassador would benefit. The testimony of carter paige has been postponed indefinitely from a schedule date of june seventh. Paige was at the center of the antitrump dossier and continues to deny he was moscows point of contact. There is no basis. I am a loyal america. I served my country in the military. In a letter to the House Intelligence Committee paige wrote delivering truthful facts matters and this necessity has grown in recent days. A source said paiges testimony was put up at the request of committee democrats. There was no comment. The Associated Press is forming mike flynn will provide records under suspect. Subpoena. His lawyer said previouslily would not cooperate. Bret the timing with Michael Flynn. We will see is he is going to provide these documents. When jim comey testifies. A lot till we dont know on the timing on capitol hill. Critical testimony will be the former fbi director. That could happen within a matter of weeks. Its anyones guess. Bret thank you. President trump has a suggestion for the u. S. Senate. Get rid of the filibuster. The president is trying to push his agenda forward. Mike reports it might not make much different. With congress on recess there are signs President Trump is losing patience waiting are for accomplishments. He tweeted about changing the number of votes to get the health care approved. His frustration with the legislation and the obstruction that the democrats have employed, his cabinet nominees is well documented. The senate is lookinging to repeal and replace obamacare and do major tax reform through budget reconciliation through fewer votes. Mitch mcconnell ruled out changing senate rules for legislation. There is not a single senator who thinks he should change the filibuster. A key House Republican claims the agenda is not stalled. They have to find a compromise on health care to match us in the house. If that happens, we are able to use the revenue from obamacare to move our tax dollars down. Its happening but its happening slowly. Democrats are not inclined to help unless its on their terms on issues like health care. I dont think that the republicans can do this themselves. I dont think they should be doing it by themselves. I think we should be working in a bipartisan way on this very, very important issue to everybody. With congress slow to put points on the port on major overhauls there is concern about republicans seeking reelection in 2018. Vicepresident mike pence will crisscross states to help republicans who are supporting the agenda. If congress were seeking to do all of health care form, a complete repeal or replace it would require 60 votes. To pass permanent major tax cuts would also require 60 votes. So they would need to scrap the filibuster. Bret we are awaiting word from the white house about what President Trump may do about cuba. The administration is doing a review of current policy and many believe this president will undo much of what the last president did. Rich has an update. Good evening. The Trump Administration is still reviewing the United States policy towards cuba. Thats according to a state department official. In 2015 the Obama Administration restored long broken relations. The u. S. Allows americans to more easily travel to cuba and conduct business there. The Obama Administration said they were trying to improve relalations. One says fully reversing them wont be easy. A number of the changes made over multiple rounds of the last Obama Administration will be difficult to reverse. From are certain aspects of what was changed that can be reversed. But i think this would be very much at the edges rather than changes that would result in job loss. Cubanamerican senators oppose form er president obama policies. While there is bipartisan opposition to improve relations and there is bipartisan support. They argue cuba will seek partnerships with other countries if the u. S. Withdraws. There are talks about using this policy review to push the regime in cuba to give a little ground on human rights concessions. Bret rich, thank you.

He was the Central American dictator riseing to pour in 1983, 2 years after his predecessor was killed in a plane crash. Manuel noriega didnt win panamas leadership as much as he took with an assassination ever political rivals. He was the most despicable human being i ever have met.

Damage to one lock could shut the canal down for weeks or months or years. A Tipping Point came in 1989 when a handful of american troops were ambushed by noriegas soldiers. This was a demonstration of what this man really intends to do. It gets worse. It was time to take this military commander out. President , i have no higher obligation than to safeguard the lives of american citizens. On december 20, 1989, president bush sent 20,000 troops to invade panama. Noriega sought refuge until he was brought to the United States to face trial. He served 8 years and then sent to france to face another trial.

They consider shiites to be infidels. This woman says isis are the infidels. We are all iraqis at the end of the day. Isis ceased the Northern City a few years ago but now control only a few blocks. The final battle will be no easy task. Insurgents are dug in. Its a maze of twisting and turning small streets. Iraqi forces have to forego their heavy vehicles doing most of the fighting on foot. Isis is pinned in by the river and surrounded. The second of defensed in an interview with cbs news that the United States has revised its battle plan. We have already shifted from attrition tactics shoving them from one position to another in iraq and syria to annihilation tactices where we surround them. Our intention is the foreign fighters do not survive the fight to return home. Iraqi commanders want to retake mosul before the third anniversary of isiss capture of the city on june 10th. While isis will likely be defeated, its unlikely to happen in the next 12 days. Bret in the u. S. We are learning new information that would back up those people including President Trump who alleged there is much more voter fraud in this country than people talk about or officials acknowledge. Heres one example. Even though the right to vote if reserved for u. S. Citizens, in virginia thousands of noncitizens have been on voter rolls for year. 5 5,556 noncitizens were on the rolls and they cast ballots. The white house set up a task force to investigate President Trumps claims about voter fraud like this one he tweeted. Why isnt the media reporting on this . Serious bias. Big problem. Millions of ballots are cast in virginia. The group who put this report out is word they could affect the results at a local level. The tendency to focus on a president ial elections and statewide elections. Our report goes into details about elections at the local level that affect peoples lives just as much. Numerous were decided by single or double digits voting margins. The commissioner of virginias department of elections emailed me to say that Virginia Election officials are continuing to promptly remove individuals who selfidentify as noncitizens from the statewide Voter Registration list. Still even they are only outed when they tell officials they are not citizens, the govern vetoed bills to increase scrutiny on voters. Saying as virginia has one of the strictest voter photo i. D. Laws in the country, this would have no effect on election integrity. I reached out to the Governors Office and i am still waiting to hear back.
