if you would like the great recipe for the blueberry wings the recipe is on our
website Fox and New York City Fox News Alert president Trump moving quickly to
fill the vacancy in the Supreme Court created by Justice Anthony Kennedy
retirement and with a slim Republican majority in the Senate it could be a
close call good morning everybody I'm Sandra Smith live inside America's
newsroom Tuesday morning Tuesday good morning Sandra hello everyone I'm Eric
schadenfreude Bill Hemmer this morning the president is less than one week away
from announcing his pick to replace the retiring justice on the Supreme Court
the White House disclosing very little information on those under consideration
but say the president met with four candidates yesterday for 45 minutes each
and it will continue those meetings throughout the rest of this week the
president has said he's but he's focused on on that list and as of right now he's
going to continue to stick with that list
let's bring in chief White House correspondent John Roberts who was on
the North Lawn as always this morning hi John Eric good morning to you the
president schedule is clear this morning which I'm told could be an indication
that he has got plenty of time to meet with a couple of more Supreme Court
considerations yesterday the president met with four potential nominees here at
the White House Fox News is told that those four potentials are Amy Kony
Barrett of the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals judge Brett Kavanaugh of the DC
Circuit Court of Appeals which is often referred to as the farm team for the
Supreme Court judge Raymond Catholic of the Sixth Circuit and a mph the par also
of the Sixth Circuit were all here yesterday in the Oval Office yesterday
speaking with the dutch prime minister the president said he will meet with two
or three more candidates before making his decision certainly he is moving at
full speed to have his nominee in place for that Monday evening announcement
listen here they are outstanding people they are
really incredible people in so many different ways academically in every
other way and I had a very very interesting morning other judges that
we're told are on the shortlist and could be coming to the White House today
Joan Larson also of the Sixth Circuit that would make three Possible's from
the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals and Judge Thomas Hardiman the Third Circuit
Court of Appeals Hardiman was a candidate last year along with Catholic
to replace Scalia or at least fill the vacancy for Scalia but the president
eventually ended up going with Judge Neal Gorsuch the president is expecting
a big fight regardless of who his nominee is with roe versus wade at the
center of opposition to anybody that the president fixed Democrats certainly
don't want to see a judge on the court that could potentially overturn roe
versus wade even some Republicans arrack like Susan Collins of Maine are saying
that she would like the president to pick somebody who is committed to not
overturning roe versus wade but the president's got the ultimate decision on
all of this Eric clearly that's a big issue John meanwhile in terms of
International Affairs North Korea Secretary of State Mike Pompeo going to
North Korea again third trip this week will they have a timetable for
denuclearization I don't think that the talks are that far along but but what's
interesting about the Pompeo trip he's headed there on the fifth on Thursday at
the same time that US intelligence is getting reports that North Korea has
been making some improvements at a nuclear site White House officials are
very reluctant to talk about that this morning out in the White House driveway
sarah sanders the press secretary wouldn't talk about it would only say
that talks with North Korea are progressing listen here I'm not going to
confirm or deny intelligence reports I'm not going to comment on that but we had
good meetings just a couple days ago with ambassador Kim and as you know
Secretary of State's headed to North Korea we're continuing to make progress
in those conversation and the goal is this
it's always been and that's d nuclearization that's what we're going
to continue pushing for the president Trump remains upbeat about where things
are going tweeting this morning quote many good conversations with North Korea
it is going well in the meantime no rocket launchers or nuclear testing in
eight months all of Asia is thrilled only the opposition party which includes
the fake news is complaining if not for me we would now be at war with North
Korea there's been talk that the president might meet Kim jong-un on the
sidelines of the UN General Assembly meeting in New York City in September
I'm told that that is possible though there are no plans at this point for
that to happen that certainly would be something I hear
in New York City and finally on the other side of the world NATO the
president again warning our NATO allies that they've got to spend more yeah and
that the day after he makes the big announcement as to who a Supreme Court
nominee will be on Tuesday morning the president is headed for Brussels and
that annual NATO summit it promises to be just as uncomfortable as the g7
summit in Lima Bay Quebec was with the president sending letters to a lot of
our NATO allies telling them that they need to pony up and pay the 2% of GDP
that they have promised to fund the alliance according to foreign policy
magazine that letter said in part it is increasingly difficult to justify to
American citizens why some countries do not share NATO's collective security I
therefore expect to see a strong recommitment by whatever country to meet
the goals to which we all agreed an official with the National Security
Council here at the White House told Fox News the president is committed to the
alliance as he has stated repeatedly the president has also been clear we expect
our allies to shoulder their fair share of our common defense burden and to do
more in areas that most affect them there is no better way to signal NATO's
resolve than for every ally to allocate the resources necessary to share their
burden of our collective defence and here's what Sarah Sanders had to say
about the whole thing this morning the United States puts over four-and-a-half
percent of the GDP in to NATO and he wants other countries to step up they
have a commitment to meet the two percent threshold and he wants to see
them do at least that in some countries could do that by tomorrow and
asking that they step up and be part of the solution it's a little bit more
burden sharing instead of putting all the pressure on the United States to
carry the way there are 28 member nations in NATO 22 of them 22 of 28 are
not meeting the commitment of 2 percent of GDP to defense they include some very
large countries including France Germany Italy Spain the Netherlands Canada and
Belgium Eric which just happens to be where NATO is headquartered in a
beautiful new two billion dollar building yeah a big new building there
and he wants them to pony off John Thank You Sandra Thanks turning and now back
to our top story of the morning and the race to replace Justice Kennedy on the
Supreme Court let's bring in Byron York the chief
political correspondent of the Washington Examiner to weigh in on this
Byron good morning to you good morning senator so yesterday the White House the
president says four potential nominees have been interviewed now on to a fifth
what is this battle shaping up to look like well the president has sent himself
a pretty tight deadline he's got to announce this the thing in less than a
week from today he's scheduled a big primetime announcement from next Monday
so he's got to move fast I think one thing that we must remember here is the
president is choosing again from that list of Supreme Court nominees that he
major in the campaign he refined it a little bit last December 25 names on the
list it's the kind of thing that he could pick anyone and get the support of
most Republicans because it's these these judges have already been examined
their past has been examined the Federalist Society that conservative
legal group has given them their stamp of approval so a lot of the work for a
selection has already been done and some of these some of these nominees or
potential nominees that the president is looking at he looked at last year for
the for the Neo Gorsuch nomination so the president really is not starting
from scratch here I spoke to Judge Andrew Napolitano on the story last
night Byron and he really spoke to the significance of this moment in this
decision listen to this John McCain regrettably won't be voting so it's
be very very tape I wish it weren't look I'm pro-life but I wish it weren't on
just one issue abortion is a very small part of what
the Supreme Court does and if he appoints someone who's in their 40s or
50s that person could serve for a long time and we need to examine their
thinking on a broad array of things the impact of this decision could impact the
president's legacy could impact this country for decades totally right
judgement politie knows right they're looking for somebody who is in their 40s
or 50s at which could mean a very very long career on the court I mean it's
it's pretty interesting that Donald Trump has gotten two nominations in his
first two years in office and you have to remember this was the issue that won
the president a lot of support of a lot of social conservatives the President
had a checkered personal life but they supported him because he said I'm gonna
nominate conservatives to the Supreme Court and also by the way to the federal
courts of appeals which he has done in record numbers so this issue appointing
conservatives that the Supreme Court is one of the reasons Donald Trump got
elected and he knows that and moving on to another big news item for the week is
heading into the holiday we know that Mike Pompeo the Secretary of State will
be making and paying a third visit to North Korea he'll be departing the day
after the holiday July 5th and as you heard John Roberts reporting on the lawn
of the White House a few moments ago the significance here and the interesting
aspect to this meeting and when it's taking place is US intelligence just
revealing that North Korea's making improvements to one of its nuclear sites
what do you expect out of this visit well this is an absolutely critical time
for this North Korea potential deal because it's time to find out whether
the north is actually serious about denuclearization we had a lot of talk we
had the summit last month we need to see if they're actually serious you're right
John mentioned these reports about that North Korea might actually be increasing
its production of fuel for nuclear weapons or something along those lines
we don't know exactly what that means right now but
we do know that it is time for secretary Pompeo and the rest of the US government
to see actual signs that the north is serious about this remember the
president has always said we'll see he said well I hope they'll do this I'll do
this we'll see well it's time for us to see we will see what happens when Mike
Pompeo heads out that way a day after the fourth meanwhile President Trump
warning that we will do something if the World Trade Organization does not start
treating the u.s. properly and all of this as we know is the that the
president has weighed in repeatedly that NATO allies have not lived up their
commitments to pay more toward defense spending what do you expect to see the
president do next on this front biron could the president ever Telegraph
a pitch any more the NATO summit this year's NATO summit is going to be a lot
like last year's NATO summit where President Trump told NATO allies that
they have to spend more the idea being they should spend 2 percent of their GDP
on defense Germany is about 1.2 percent right now
by far the biggest the economy in in Europe and the president has been
pushing this line wherever he goes and he's gonna do it again in sending this
letter - - to the NATO countries is simply just re-emphasizing that in
response some of them have actually started spending more on defense some of
them have kind of promised to do so some of them have hemmed and hawed about it
but they're not gonna get any relief the president is going to keep pushing this
issue all ahead of next week's NATO summit in Brussels buyer in New York
thank you thank you well this is a Fox News Alert from
Thailand a dozen children and their soccer coach found alive in a cave after
they were missing for over a week how they survived and what's the plan to now
get them out what a story that is plus the president digging in on tariffs
despite mounting pressure from some in his own party who say tariffs imposed by
Washington could really boomerang badly on our economy we are very close to
making some very good trade deals of fair trade I think the EU we're going to
be meeting with them fairly soon they want to see if they can work something
