north korea to call an official end to the korean war. But progress could be in the pipeline. Their speculation, Secretary Pompeo who is currently En Route To Singapore will meet his north korean counterpart on the sideline. He left today headed for singapore. The return is what is believed to be the remains of 55 Service Members is a milestone. Vice president pence said while negotiating, President Trump always kept the fallen veterans in his heart. Whether that leads to tangible concessions remains to be seen. Bret. Bret Benjamin Hall in london. Thank you. The International Chemical weapons watchdog says there are still gaps, inconsistencies, and discrepancies in a series declaration of it chemical weapons inventory. It was discussed today by the security council. The Syrian Government has not resolved many outstanding issues. Syria has been accused
repeatedly of using chemical weapons in its seventh year civil war. It denies doing so. President trump is taking another chunk out of its predecessors legacy tonight he is slamming the brakes on changes to fuel Economy Standards instituted in the obama administration. We look at how the trump team is justifying the change. It is the latest and arguably the biggest Potential Rollback of obama era regulations to date. The proposed rule, the Trump Administrations would freeze fuel Economy Standards to near 2020 levels. Rescinding the levels to 55 Miles Per Hour by 2025. They see it as a bonus for auto companies. Supporters also see it as a win consumer choice. Its because they will be empowered to choose what kind of vehicles they want to drive, not being told what kind of vehicles to drive by bureaucrats from washington. Led by new yorks Barbara Underwood condemned proposed change noting plans to sue. They want to reduce carbon pollution, save drivers money on gas, improve air quality separately today, the Term Administration moved to representing 40 million americans. California sued inmate in anticipation of todays actions. California would do whatever it takes to maintain todays clean car standards. Both sides in this fight argued that saving lives is their primary concern, opponents noting to meet tougher standards. The light of the vehicle, the higher the risk for the driver.

They are already making inroads into the marketplace, constituting about 5 of sales in california alone with the greater inroads into the marketplace likely as Battery Technology advances. Bret. Bret at the White House Briefing room, thinking. Stocks were mixed today, the doubt lost 8, the nasdaq climbed 95. Now to another example of someones social media past catching up to them in the present. It involves a journalist just hired for what many reasonably consider a dream job in the
newspaper world. Fox news media analyst howard kurtz tonight on that dream clouded with some nightmare tweet. Impressive credentials, harvard law grad, articles in the atlantic, washington post, and the times magazine. But sarah jeong also comes with a baggage of inflammatory twitter post which unleashed a fierce backlash on some conservative websites. Sarah jeong tweeted between 2013 and 202015 that white men are goblins, dumb its almost funny how much joy i get from being cruel to old white men. Its really hard. The time said in a Statement Today that her journalism and the fact that she is a young asian woman have made her a subject of frequent online
harassment. For period of time, she responded to the harassment by imitating the rhetoric of her harassers. She sees now this approach only work to feed the vitriol. She regrets it and the times does not promote it. She said the tweets were presented as satire, she understands how hurtful they seem out of context. As a woman of color, she has received a lot of online hate. Shut the [bleep] up, this has become a blood sport in the media. In february, they hired a tech writer and six hours later, they parted company after an uproar over public slurs and her online friendship with a white supremacist. In large, the atlantic hired and very quickly fired Kevin Williamson over such controversial tweets as, the law should treat abortion like any other homicide. He said today that places like the times should hold the line
against Mass Hysteria and the law of mentality of social media. And the twitter area, both journalist have a past that can be and often is used against them. If they join in the online vitriol, the consequences can be just as ugly, right . Bret thank you. Up next, will the Special Counsel dump its star witness in the trial of the former Trump Campaign chairman . Lets hear from some of our Fox Affiliates around the country. Fox two in san francisco, is apple becoming the First Publicly Traded Company valued at 1 trillion . We will see. Apple shares finished today up almost 3 , had an almost high this afternoon. They are up 23 so far this yea year. Fox 2 in detroit, Fiat Chrysler recalls 81. 4 million ram pickups in the u. S. And canada because tail lights and power locks can open while the trucks are still moving. The recall covers ram 1500,
2500, 3500 pickups from the 2015 and 2017 model years. This is a look at st. Louis from our affiliate, fox 2. A certificate of inspection from missouri, the tourist boat sank that it was in wins that far exceeded the allowable limit. 17 people died in that accident. In 2017, they prohibited the boat from being on the water when winds exceed 35 Miles Per Hour. The wind speeds were more than 70 Miles Per Hour. That is the look outside the beltway for special report. Right back to l. A. After this. No matter who rides point, there are over 10,000 allstate agents riding sweep. Call one today. Are you in good hands . Ito take care of anyct messy situations. And put irritation in its place. Question one witness for almost the entire day. They called manaforts bookkeeper. She did not know that Paul Manafort had any foreign financial holdings. These are the sarah jeong charges that he had thousands of dollars in money hidden from the irs when one of manaforts highest paying clients, victor fled the corner, manaforts money dried up. That is when they alleged that he started defrauding banks in the u. S. By doctoring the Financial Statement to make it look like he had an artificially High Net Worth so he could get loans. Heather was asked by the Special Counsel prosecutor, did there come a time in 2016 when mr. Manafort had trouble paying his bills . She said yes. The 18 charges of financial crimes against manafort filed by Robert Mueller had the formerTrump Campaign chairmans freedom hanging, but in the third day, no talk about Russian Collusion or President Trump. His lawyers did make an announcement today that they have every intention of calling their star witness to the stand. That followed a tuesday announcement from the Special Counsel prosecutor that they may not want the testimony of manaforts business partner, but the judge told the mueller team said that even his wife was not fooled by their statement, and he told the mueller team about him, saying cant prove conspiracy without him. Something else that goes to show how attentive to detail this judge is. At one point, while one of the mueller prosecutors was talking about a city in cyprus where they alleged that manafort has a hidden account, they refer to the city as nicosia, and the judge corrected the prosecutor and said, its 20. Bret paying attention to every word. The primary intimacy is coming to an end. It sets up a larger General Election battle that could help determine what Party Controls the u. S. Senate next year. We are in nashville tonight. Tennessee voters began the process of choosing a successor to retiring bob corker in a battle that could determine who controls the u. S. Senate. Blackburn is expected to coast to victory in the republican primary. The congresswoman defined herself as a strong supporter of President Trumps agenda. They want to have a u. S. Senator that is going to support tax cuts because the trump tax cuts are working. Her opponents are expected to be former governor, bill brought his son. So far, he has been hesitant to directly attack President Trump, who carried tennessee in 2016 by 26 points. I intend to be a senator who
is not up there to work for or against the president , not going to work for or against any political party, do try to figure out whats best for the people of tennessee. Bill bergeson said that the democrats call to abolish i. C. E. Is a stupid idea. The party recognizes that not everybody cannot run as a far left progressive, so originally, if it makes sense for somebody to take a more moderate stance, the parties supportive of it because a win is a win. The strategy appears to be trying to keep the focus on new tariffs, which threaten more than 1 billion and tennessee exports, and have angered state farmers and car manufacturers. The tariff issue has put blackburn on the defensive, pushing back against the administration. Im not a fan of tariffs. What we are doing is continuing to work with the administration with the Department Of Commerce to point out where these are
having an adverse impact. Its been 28 years since tennessee has elected a democrat to the senate. Most see this race as a tossup. Bret. Bret Steve Harrigan live in nashville. Thanks. Fun to watch.

Save 200 on this dell laptop at office depot officemax. Minority leader, nancy pelosi called a better deal is our goal for the committee. A better deal is fueled by better values. Democratic efforts are to take back control of the house. I recently sat down with the three cochairs of the dps easy to talk about their pitch. A pitch that starts with fixing health care. First of all, the cost of health care, and how its getting out of control, we will find out in october that the rates are going to go up even higher. It will cost the average family of four in addition of 3100 a year. Any tax benefits that any family might have seen is out the window and then some. We are going to rebuild the country with a Real Infrastructure plan that will create 60 million good playing a fulltime job. And we are going to really take on corruption in this town. The president talked about all three of those things,
health care cost, he hasnt done it, draining the swamp, he has made it worse, and infrastructure plan has not worked. We need to reclaim this party. Bret in recent weeks, the democratic message getting most of the attention is coming from new york underdogs conditional primary winner, alexandria ocasiocortez. The movement is courageous, and its the right thing to do. Bret a selfproclaimed Democratic Socialist who says she would be happy to see the end of capitalism. A lot of the focus lately has been on Democratic Socialists after this win of miss ocasiocortez. Would you say to folks who look at that and say, wait a second, are we buying into socialism . We are a Progressive Party but we also include progressive progressives, new democrats, more conservative blue dogs, obviously, we have some people, candidates who may become members of congress on the hard left. But as sherry indicated, we will be relentlessly focused on delivering for the people. Bret ocasiocortez is a rock star. It does that hurt your message heading into the fall . I dont think it does. As the team just mentioned, and sherry, we are very focused on making a case to the people that democrats are fighting for them. Theyve a sense that washington isnt working. Bret s these do share ocasiocortezs Firm Opposition to the terms of tax cuts. The tax plan, we call it a tech scan because 83 of the benefits went to the top 1 . We want to keep the middleclass tax cuts. Bret s businesses in your district have not expressed to you any upside from the tax cuts . The real wages that people are taking home, no, im hearing from person after person after person, they are not feeling it. That is a common story of the person of my congressional district, a district that donald trump won. Bret he said it differently than nancy pelosi originally said, it was crumbs, the tax cuts for people. As you are competing, your folks
are campaigning for office, are they saying its going to be Speaker Nancy Pelosi . I think what people are saying, if we get to mike give it democrats the ability to govern the majority, we want to get things done, it cant be business as you usual. People dont vote for leadership, they vote for individual candidates. Bret im reading Between The Lines here, does that mean individual leadership if you take the majority . I think hes absolutely right. If i listen about is in my district, they ask the same questions. How are we going to make my familys life better question might they dont ask, whos going to be in this position without position. Bret do you all have Leadership Aspirations . I think we all have aspirations to make sure that weve got a good Leadership Team after november when we win back the majority. Whether it nancy pelosi or someone else . If we win back the majority, there will be lots of opportunities for people in congress. Democrats like to campaign as
moderates in election time, but when they go to washington, they always vote for the Radical Pelosi Agenda down the line. Bret give me the th
