Patrick says its truly up to them. Is it wrong . Yes, but its a free country. Thanks to everyone who responded. Have a great wednesday. See you back here tomorrow morning on thursday. Fox friends starts now. Bye. Good morning. It is wednesday, august 13. Im Elisabeth Hasselbeck. While you were sleeping Hillary Clinton called the white house to apologize for throwing the president s Foreign Policy under the bus. But can she have it both ways and could this hurt her more than it will help . Riots continue to rage in st. Louis, and now good thing al sharpton on the scene. We want real peace. We dont want to be told to shut up and suffer in silence. Since when does real peace involve looting and violence . Doesnt he have a show to do . Left wingers failing to find the humor in this one. I think obama understands peoples concerns after spending the day at the beach he said this has been fun but i should really get back to the golf course. Because priorities are priorities. Believe it or not, this backlash about funny man fallon trying to do what everyone does on the tonight show and that is mock whoever is in the white house. Well discuss it. Mornings are better with friends. Hey there. This is kelly pickler. Youre watching fox friends. Welcome back. Eric is filling in for steve today. A lot of news this morning. That was a funny joke. Of course it was funny. Thats what latenight comedians do. They make fun of the president whoever he or she may be. As long as they are safe to do so. Were going to talk about that as well. Could you tell eric to scoot offense a scoot over a little. I am pretty far away. We straddle the crack here on fox friends. Im thinking this is good. A little tight. We have a lot to discuss today because Hillary Clinton and president obama are going to a party. They are . It could get a little awkward because of a phone call and a tweet and a little slam. Were going to explain all of that this morning. First to heather nauert. A lot has been happening overnight. They might squeeze right m and sit as close as you guys. Lets start off talking about Politics Today and key primary races taking place. Weve got the results. All eyes on the state of minnesota. Political newcomer Mike Mcfadden will take on senator al franken after winning the republican primary. Im so honored to have won the primary. I can tell you we did it without saying one bad word about another republican. Period. We immediate to unify our party wree need to unify our party. Another key race tom emmer beating out the commissioner and county commissioner jeff johnson wins primary for governor beating three major rivals. Hell face the democratic governor in november. Well keep watching these races. A storm sliding across the country and this morning leaving two people dead. We start in arizona with this dramatic video. A man sitting on top of his car forced to jump on to a fire truck to get out safely. Look at this video out of detroit. That is a forklift. It had to drag cars out of the water one by one. Ing in thee of that. In some places the water was 14 feet deep. Heading over to detroit, a scuba diver swimming
through the flood waters to see if anyone else is trapped there. Finally in pennsylvania, the heavy rain there opening up this massive sink hole that swallowed a car. We had a lot of rain overnight here in the new york area. In the west coast tragic details about the death of Robin Williams. Investigators confirming he hanged himself with a belt while his wife slept in a separate bedroom. She says she last saw him alive sunday night. She left the house the next morning thinking he was still asleep but his assistant found him before noon with a pocketknife near his body and cuts on his wrist. No words yet for plans for a memorial service. Another hollywood legend has died. Leading lady Lauren Bacall. You know how to whistle. Put your lips together and blow. What a voice and what a face. That is a scene from the 1944 film to have and have not. It is one of the most
iconic moments in movie history. The model turned actress would eventually marry her costar humphrey bogart. She appeared in 60 movies. Lauren bacall died of a stroke. She was 89 years old. What a remarkable career that lady has. At 19 she was discovered. Humphrey bogart was 43, she was 19 and they ended up going out and it was no scandal. It was such a good idea to shoot those movies in black and white. It enhanced the drama. Do you think Hillary Clinton used that voice yesterday when she called the white house . I think that might have helped with the im sorry because that is what she was calling to say. She called president obama to apologize for calling him out on his Foreign Policy. But this came after she was
actually attacked by david axle rod who stepped in to may defense for the president , throwing her support for the iraq war right back at her. This was David Axlerods tweet to Hillary Clinton. Just to clarify, dont do stupid stuff means stuff like occupying iraq in the first place which was a tragically bad decision. To put that in context, one of the things Hillary Clinton said, dont do stupid stuff, is really not a policy. Which she said in the atlantic, an 8,000word interview. As maureen dowd points out today in the New York Times, it is the economy stupid probably is not a great policy either, but bill clinton used that very successfully. Heres the summary of the whole thing. Hillary clinton was secretary of state from 2009 to 2013, the full first term of president obama, when president obama was developing these iraq strategies. Remember he was elected on i will get us out of iraq. That was his talking points, plug lines everywhere. He gets out, and during that time Hillary Clinton was secretary of state. Dont you think at some point she would have said i disagree with this, this is the wrong strategy, we shouldnt be doing this . He gets out. Isis blows up iraq. And Hillary Clinton now says that was no Foreign Policy. Dont do stupid stuff. That was the wrong thing to do in iraq, that was the wrong thing to do in syria, down the line. It was confirmed last night she did say it. The reason why the president said it on a special report. The reason the president didnt implement it is because he didnt think it was a workable plan. I ask you this. We werent there. If David Petraeus is in the room, leon panetta is in the room and secretary of state all say we have to do something about this and we have to take action right away and actually arm these people that you call pharmacists and doctors who, by the way, they got word of that quote the president just said the other day, highly insulted
and i believe we won the revolutionary war with a bunch of farmers and doctors. Having said all that, the president didnt take the secretary of defense and the c. I. A. Director and the secretary of states advice. Who was he listening to . We dont know. But the dance Hillary Clinton is doing as we approach 2016 might not work so well for her. Karl rove puts it in historical perspective. In 1968 Vice PresidentHubert Humphrey who disagreed with president johnson on the vietnam war, had difficulty breaking from the administration. He finally did in a speech in salt lake in october. By doing so, he neither placated the critics of president johnsons war policy nor kept the support of all of johnsons its just the beginning. Vernon jordan is having a Party Tonight and i guess the word is theyre going to meet eat meet each
other, be in the same room and hug it out. But Hillary Clinton could have probably said listen i dont want you to take it as criticism, but shes not going to get reelected if she doesnt distance herself from the Foreign Policy that 50 of the country think is terrible. And that she was largely a part of. True. But you have to take your orders from the president. Secretary of state cant be like the president told me to do this; im going to do that. Think of what she did. In order to distance herself from a president whose Approval Rating is sliding she went far right. She was looking for boots she went all in on all the wars. Maybe shes getting a little backlash from her base. Shes got a tightrope, a dance to do because now she doesnt want to be an obama Foreign Policy follower to that. Yet she cant be so far right where her base goes are you kidding me . We dont like wars. Shes between a barack and a hard place. Isis even more powerful and more organized. If someone told any president that al qaeda had mastered a certain area, was worth now 100 billion and growing, had a lot of our equipment, what scenario and what president wouldnt hit them . Everybody knows theyre our enemy separate from what were doing or not doing in iraq, ben rhodes on special report last night took that question. What has happened is weve donahue man tehran airdrops weve done humanitarian airdrops to reach the population, but we also need to figure out how to move that population to a safe space and get them humanitarian assistance. Speaking about the christians under attack this and trying to decide what is going to happen. Are we going to now put our forces in the face of isis
in order to rescue those who are facing death over their faith. How do you get a bunch of people with nothing off a mountain . A former commander of the c. I. A. Forces in afghanistan and in kabul stationed, he was one of the first into afghanistan right after the 9 11 attack, gary, welcome back. Good morning. Are you happy with the strategy so far . What strategy . Okay. Thats a no . Let me Say Something about the statement that they talked about how do you get these people off of a mountain. People are forgetting that the israelis evacuated with the help of the u. S. , the falashas in the sudan in the 1990s. Youre going to need to put people on the ground, forces on the ground there. People may not want to enter there but the United States is a signatory to international conventions
against general mow side. If we see genocide, were required by law to act and this administration is looking the other way. Why do we need to put troops on the ground . Didnt the few air the humanitarian strikes and targeted airstrikes, didnt they push isis back . Let me Say Something about why you want air. If you dont or why you want some people on the ground. You want people on the ground to do close air support. If you dont, youre likely to have Collateral Damage and kill innocent people at times. The reason we were very, very effective in afghanistan during the invasion with small numbers of people is we were lasing everything. What does that mean . If youre just bombing what does that mean . You light up a target. The ordinance is flown from an aircraft and it rides the light in. You can send something into a window. Thats how exact it is. Let me ask you this. To complicate things the director of the f. B. I. Said now we have americans moving into syria to actually join this fighting and that theyre absolutely almost impossible to identify. But we need to spend some time on the ground to help do that. Take a listen. We at the f. B. I. And our partners are spending a tremendous amount of time trying to identify those who want to travel to syria to fight, who are there fighting and who may be coming back. But these are people who may not be directed by al qaeda or one of its progeny but who can be trained by what is on the internet. They can be in their pajamas listening that theyve to kill innocent americans. Some people are saying thats their problem, im war weary. What is your answer . We have a problem. Isis presents a threat to the United States. They have capability, intent, and with american citizens fighting for them, they will have access to
america. Two or three weeks ago a young man from florida detonated himself in damascus, killing 14 people. They present a threat to the United States. We need to reexamine the process of visa waivers in the United States. We need to close the southern border. We really need leadership in the United States. And were not getting it. Are you saying our southern border could be the place that isis would enter the United States . If 13 and 14year olds can walk across that border, members of isis can walk across easily as well. And will. And will. Count on it. These guys are not stupid. They are committed. Theyre willing to commit, you know, suicide. Many of them are suicide attackers. They see the United States as a, as an enemy. These are terrorists committed to creating a caliphate, and they have no boundaries. Weve got them burying
people alive, cruise foig people, beheading crucifying people, beheading people. What else do you need to see . This is like the 1930s where people are forgetting. I feel your intensity and your frustration because no one seems to be getting that message. A lot of people in this country are turned off by it and a lot of people in the white house dont seem to understand it. These are islamic fascists. Thanks so much. Pleasure to be with you. There are a lot of islamo fascists. Do we wipe out all terrorists . That would be optimal but its pie in the sky. You talk about north korea, talk about iran. There are a lot of places where islamo terrorists would be enemies to the United States. Heres the thing. I think you need a master plan for north africa, for isis in particular, for what could be me tass
metastidisiezing. You need a commander in chief who believes in the mission. Youve got to have a mission. Youve got to have a plan. He had a plan. Were out of here. Right. Coming up, exclusive video from the border youve never seen before. And no matter what you think about illegal immigration, the video paints one ugly picture. Remember when president obama promised to get lobbyists out of the white house. We have the chance to go ahead and say the lobbyists in washington, your days of setting the agenda are over. This morning the president is changing his mind. Why you should Pay Attention to this one. Political experts say president Hillary Clinton is trying to distance herself in
order to gear up for the election in 2016. Look at this one. Her discipline, stamina, thoughtfulness, ability to project i think has made her an extraordinary talent.

Angies list reviews you can trust. 20 minutes past the hour. Now some news for you here. President obama promised to crack down on the lobbyists in the white house. The reason, he said, the paid lobbyists were drowning out the views of ordinary citizens. Well, this morning the president changing his mind. He just decided to loosen the restrictions on lobbyists who want to serve on federal advisory boards. Take a look at the new cover of wired magazine. That is Edward Snowden clutching an american flag, the man who leaked secret Government Data still living in russia. In the interview he says, quote, i care more about the country than whats happened to me. Brian . As he says it from russia. With all eyes on the border crisis in texas, watch as this crowd in tucson, protesters lashing out at cops for trying to arrest
Illegal Immigrants after he violated the traffic laws. The arizona Border Patrol says the crisis is getting much worse. In that to stop the movement with the cops with the illegal some were laying underneath the cop car so it couldnt move. This may surprise you but not our guest. He is a film maker focusing on illegals on our border. Your reaction . I feel sorry for anybody in law enforcement. I speak to these guys on a regular basis. The morale has never been lower for these gentlemen and these ladies who are trying to protect our borders, protect our sovereignty. They are being told not to do their job. Just remember, theyre dealing with this from two perspectives. From a professional standpoint they are being told not to do what they signed up for and as an american because they understand illegal immigration is ripping this country apart slowly but surely and it is breaking
their heart. Here is your interview with the arizona sherrif blasting washington for leaving him naked in arizona. Those making the decisions in washington, d. C. , those making the decision of what happens on our southwest border are not here. They can walk across now and nobody would detect them. We have to catch these criminals. These people have no respect for our freedom, our liberty. I am very concerned. If you do catch them, theyre allowed to get out and they have more rights than anyone could imagine. Yet, thats what they do every day. The frustration is evident. Theres two things i want to say about this. Number one, all eyes are on texas. Border patrol has been taken from arizona to put down in texas so this way we can catch families and children and change diapers. I would guarantee you, in fact, i would bet my life on the fact your last guest said about isis coming into america, i would guarantee you theyre already here. I have worked in the desert
and i have caught these people before and ive seen korans, prayer rugs, you name it. Theyre already here. I want to bring you to another area. There is seferls, there are cameras, there are things that are up but is it working . Heres your interview with an arizona rancher. In the last 22 months weve had 43 trucks full of marijuana coming across this border. Weve had 43 million come through this ranch. Nobody stopped it. Youve got the drones, satellites, radar, new cameras, Border Patrol station over there. How is that happening . I dont understand it. Havent been caught. Once they do get here, heres what were finding and you have found, that they do have rights. Look at this. For example, well see some of the video. Heres an example of a pregnant illegal coming over, being dropped off m texas and getting a care package. Its actually two
pregnant ladies. As soon as they give birth to these children they are going to be u. S. Citizens, entitled to everything there is you and i are entitled to as citizens. At this point citizenship is something that comes out of a cracker jack box with president obama obviously. This happens every single moment every single day in south texas. It isnt stopping. Where can we see your documentaries . They can pick up a bunch for free. Theycometoamerica. Com. People need to see whats going on. It is the only way to stop the president from making his executive order and giving amnesty to everybody. He went from new york to texas to arizona to see for himself. You can see it too. Dennis michael lynch, thank you so much. 25 minutes after the hour. Caught on cam remarks the incredible moment a massive wall of water slams into a hospital cafeteria. The Empire State Building refused to color their lights in honor of Mother Teresa but they have no problem going blue for democrats begging the

A lot of people are upset that president obama went to the beach yesterday with everything thats going on in the world. You know, times are tough for obama because even the sharks were like im not going near that guy. I think obama understands peoples concerns. After spending the day at the beach, he said this has been fun but i should really get back to the golf course. Because priorities are priorities. That was funny. I think its tradition for the tonight show in particular to go after the president. Johnny carson was best friends with Ronald Reagan and used to do skits mocking him. I think jimmy fallon is voicing the thoughts of americans out there. To laugh about this stuff, that is actually quite hard to do. He got a lot of backlash. From who . From people. Can you give us some . Look up and youll see them here. A tweet yesterday said Congress Left for five weeks on vacation. Why do they get a free pass . The joke reenforces the untrue antiobama rhetoric. He could not golf. Youre right he was way out of bounds on that. This one also went to gym ni fallon. Went to jimmy fallon. Jay leno agreed to write
your monolog. So cool. Leno would be an equal opportunity offender. My hope is none of these late night shows give into that. Very outraged about this. Time will tell. I think jimmy fallon will stand the test of time. Remember the New York Times a year into the presidency, there should be jokes about every president but there is nothing funny about this president. If there is a republican president next, im sure fallon will be fair and balanced in his i hope so because hes doing an unbelievable job. One of my favorites there. The president yesterday and eric holder commenting on the shooting of an unarmed teen in missouri. Al sharpton headed to the scene calling for a peaceful protest. Al sharpton seemed to be fueling the fire. Take a listen. The local authorities have put themselves in a position hiding names, not being transparent, where people will not trust anything but an objective investigation. We want real peace. We dont want to just be told to shut up and suffer in silence. You could do this thing called an investigation. We could do this thing called a peaceful protest. Maybe you dont take a share and throw it through a shop window and loot it to show how angry you are. In defense, the naacp said youve got to stop this, its got to be peaceful. Cornell william brooks, quote, Martin Luther king did not live and die that we might steal and lie in the name of justice in the middle of the night. He lived and died that we might seek justice in the middle of the day. Can i point out, al sharpton said he was going to go to the scene to calm
things down. When al sharpton shows up at scenes like this there is no calming effect. Mr. Sharpton should consider staying in new york in his studio and doing whatever he does with his tv show because when he goes out there people get angry. There was rioting, continued looting. The business owners, they are the real besides the young man who was shot there is additional victims. Business owners having chairs thrown through their stores being completely looted. That is not what this is all about. This is no small issue. After president obama made his statement, the Aviation Administration from the federal government said it banned flights from operating 3,000 feet from over ferguson to keep the area safe at the request of the police. This doesnt sound like it is camg calming down any time soon. Dr. Ben carson said why dont we take a page from Martin Luther king jr. In terms of what peace means. I think these people
have not studied history. The reason why dr. Martin luther king was so effective was because he quelled the temptation towards violence and in fact brought a lot of attention to the injustices that were being done. By rioting, by hurting people who have nothing to do with the incident, they the people engaged in that are actually detracting from the actual injustice that was done. Wise statement. Ben carson making moves to run for president. Looks like hes consolidating that way. The other thing to point out is the cops have not identified the person involved. Al sharpton calling for the release of that name to be expedited of course. Heather, i see you standing there. Youve got more headlines. Were talking about that rain outside and also flooding really from the west coast to the east coast and everything in between. Take a look at this video. It is simply unbelievable. Look at that massive wave of water. It comes through the doors and windows of a hospital in nebraska. That water washing away tables and chairs in a cafeteria in seconds. The flooding was the result of nearly four inches of rain but it came down so, so quickly. The body of casey kasem is now being moved for a second time. Sources say his widow jean is planning to have his body flown to norway against the wishes of his children. She reportedly wants to prevent a second autopsy from taking place. Last month she flew his body to canada from a funeral home in washington state. His children continue to object. An update on that mysterious Brooklyn Bridge flag swap. Two german artists are taking credit for it saying
they did it to honor the guy who basically built the whole thing. They didnt do it to humiliate police. Details of how they did this include videos and pictures. The nypd calling this a credible lead. The owners of the Empire State Building are now under fire for refusing to honor Children Cancer research. The sky scrapers website says it doesnt award honorary lightings for political causes. Okay. Children cancer, a political cause. What do you think of that . Last night you should know it was just lit up in blue in order to lure the 2016 Democratic National convention to new york city. Now thats a political cause. Other causes they also lit up for teenage mutant ninja turtles. Remember this a few years ago. Not worthy . Mother teresa. They refused to honor what would have been Mother Teresas 100th birthday but they did it for other things. The guy who runs the empire
state building says it is a privilege, not a right. I just know this, the mayor de blasio who has an Approval Rating of minus 9 would benefit to have the d. N. C. Bring it here and if he wanted to get that done he would certainly get the lights done, and the lights are done. Listen to this. Extreme weather and flooding to warn you about. We saw some flooding. Maria, what do you know about the latest . We have a lot of flooding to talk about across different areas of the country. I want to start out across portions of arizona where we have had monsoonal moisture firing up showers and storms and out there significant flooding. This is again in arizona. You can see a rescue having to be conducted this and across portions of michigan in the city of detroit. We also had significant flooding with record rainfall out there. Yesterday up close to a foot of rain fell across portions of maryland just to the east of washington, d. C. And that flood threat does continue in place today. The rain continues here in
new york city and into areas farther off towards the north. We are expecting as much as as four to six inches of additional rainfall. We have flash flood watches in effect out there. Across long island were hearing reports there are road closures due to the heavy rain. Flash flood warnings in effect there. You can see another line of storms pushing through portions of upstate new york. The storm system packing a punch across portions of the great lakes and northeast. Theres a look at the watches in effect anywhere from parts of upstate new york up into parts of the state of maine. There is a really strong cold front. The 70s across areas of the northeast. Once it does push offshore were going to be looking at beautiful weather. Sunshine, pleasant temperatures. Across portions of the plains another hot one from rapid city all the way down to parts of texas with highs widespread in the 90s. Lets head back inside. Thanks, maria. That is one huge umbrella. It is tremendous. We have a huge budget on our show. Coming up straight ahead, while he was dubbed the funniest man alive off screen Robin Williams battled his demons like addiction and depression.

He was said to be the funniest man alive but off screen Robin Williams battled hernl personal demons. Addiction and depression but he wasnt alone. Years of rejection sent actress Jeanine Turner into her own addiction. Well talk to her about her book a little bit vulnerable. Thanks for being with us
this morning. Good morning, elisabeth. We hear about this and we were devastated to hear about robin, as im sure you were. Is this typical of hollywood to try to live this life in front of everyone if youre dealing with demons, is that possible to do that in a way that doesnt end tragically . Is it possible . I think this is something that happens all over the world, all over the country. I think anyone watching today, everyone usually knows an aunt, uncle, brother, sister, mother or father, some relative that deals with depression, alcoholism or addiction. What happens in hollywood is the limelight is on them so it seems like it happens more in hollywood than anywhere else but its very, very tragic. He was a brilliant, brilliant man. I was stunned when i heard. What a loss. Your story, in terms of relating to this, you struggled with addiction and alcoholism for, was it 20 years . 30 years . I never did drugs, but
alcohol, yes. I got sober when i was 23 years old. Ive been sober for 28 years now. When you heard about robin, you said you were shocked. People say he took his own life, he committed suicide. Reports indicate asphyxiation due to hanging, as we now know. If depression is truly a disease, when any other disease strikes a person, we see the disease kill that person. In your mind did robin take his own life or did depression take his life . Well, i believe that he was in his right mind; he never would have done that. We dont know enough of the details yet. Alcohol is a depressant. We know he was in rehab. I dont know if it was for alcohol or drugs or what it may have been. Alcohol can make someone suicidal. Alcohol can also im not saying this is what happened to him. But from my experience alcohol can put you in a
state where youre functioning but youre in a blackout and dont know what youre doing. A lot of people think blackout is a passout. I dont think he was in his right mind or he wouldnt have done such a thing. He must have been in a dark, dark place. This thing about sobriety is learning how to cope with life on a day in and day out basis. One day at a time. This is something you deal with each and every day . Yes. It never goes away. When they say one day at a time, it really is one day at a time because the drinks are always just right there. The challenges alcoholics and addiction dont have the same genetic makeup. I believe it is an inherited disease but also we dont have enough endorphins and its hard to cope. You have to turn to god if nothing else. Jeanine, we want to thank you. Youre such a star for sharing. We look forward to your book and thank you again for being on fox friends. Thank you, elisabeth. Safe under fire. Now even the navy falling

This dad has eight kids and hes telling them all if you want to go to college, youre paying for it yourself, even teaching them as young as two years old to be selfsupporting. David fagan is an author and joins us now. God bless you, you got eight kids. Let me get this straight, to to 17, they all have to save or dont go to college. Explain your theory. Well, its just all about helping kids become selfreliant and learning what theyre capable of. What i see so much is parents giving their kids so much,
theyre really condemning them o a life of mediocrity. I guess i kind of rely on some of the things i went through and my parents parenting style. I went through tough times, but it really brought out the best in me. I think that if i didnt have to do it, if i didnt have to overcome, i probably wouldnt have had some of the successes that i had. So if susie is a saver and she saves money for college but bobby is not, he doesnt get to go to college, theyre probably sleeping right now. I wont tell them, are you going to help bobby out if he doesnt save . No. No. And i just think that college isnt even for a lot of people anymore. Im not even saying its about the money. Im saying that you want to help kids learn how to become selfreliant and they dont all need college to become selfreliant. If they want to go to college, then they need to start planning for it early. By them doing that, theyre going to get the right experience. I get you. How do you teach a twoyearold you start them
as young as two. What do you do at two . Look, its about a mindset. In just getting them to start thinking about what do they want and what do they need to do to get it . When it comes to a two or threeyearold, if youre at mcdonalds or wherever youre at and they want something, its like well, you go up to the counter, you ask. You engage the person at the counter and ask for what you want. So its just about learning, for kids to think about what they want and getting them to do things to get what they want and see that they get rewarded when they take action. I have a half hip or so. You start instilling values early. At what age do they really kind of pick it up, they understand what theyre doing . I think probably about seven, eight, nine, they can really start doing a lot of different businesses. A lot of my kids were getting free stuff on craigslist and then turning around and selling it, starting virtual companies, going door to door car washes. Seven, eight, nine. Then as they become teenagers, they can do amazing stuff. Once they start making money, the sky is the limit. They start to see the power pretty quickly and get pretty excited all on their own. Thats some great advice. You have a beautiful family. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Call the pc police. Now even the navy giving the bible the boom then Elisabeth Hasselbeck joining the viral ice water challenge to raise money for lou gehrigs disease. But some claim its not raising enough cash. Were proving thats not true with our own ice water challenge. Guess who is getting iced . But this. Takes my breath away every styles a showstopper with fabrics that flatter and prints to go wild for. Legs look longer, you look leaner. Any way you wear them. Chicos leggings. Were famous for our legs. At chicos and chicos. Com. Good morning. Today is wednesday, august 13. Im Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Hillary clinton making a late night phone call to president obama. The reason, just move things over after trashing his foreign
policy. Can she have it both ways . We report. You decide. The man the president says he will not put boots on the ground in iraq and now hes sending only 130 more military advisors into a war zone. So will the hands off strategy do anything to stop the blood thirsty terrorists . Hands kind of off and kind of on. Critics are questioning the ice challenge, saying it doesnt really raise a dime for charity . Were going to go inside that story. Weve got a member of that charity, a bucket of ice, and a host who will never see it coming. Chilling details ahead. cause mornings used to be better with friends. This is vanilla ice and youre watching fox friends, and this news baby. Brilliant producing there. Right. What commercial is he doing now . Something for Rite Aid Drug . Does anyone know . Is chris chulo here . Vanilla ice has a gig. Hes making the most of that song. He is. We have a lot to discuss, including a big Party Tonight that could be frosty but might not be now after an apology that came via the telephone. Heather nauert has other stories that she claims are very important. Good morning, everyone. Hope youre off to a great day today. Weve got politics to talk about this morning. This morning all eyes are on the state of minnesota. Businessmen and political newcomer mike mcfaddin winning the Reason Senate primary there. Hell now take on senator al franken. Im so honored to have won the primary and i can tell you, we did it without saying one bad word about another republican, period. We need to unify our party. Then there is another race were following, the race to fill Michelle Bachmans seat. Tom emmer winning. For the county commissioner, jeff johnson, and he won a
crowded republican primary for governor. He beat out three major rivals. Hell face mark dayton in november. Another big story, historic flooding across the country now leaving two people dead. We start in arizona with this dramatic video. A man sitting on top of his car and hes forced to jump onto a fire truck to get to safety. Look at all that rain and that flooding there. Then lets head to detroit. A forklift, actually i think thats front end loader. It drags a car out of the water, one by one. In some places that water was 14 feet deep. Can you imagine that . Then in detroit, look at the scuba diver as he looks through the cab of the front of that truck. He swims through it to see if anyone is trapped. And then in pennsylvania, heavy rain there created a massive sinkhole that swallowed up a car. Also it is a big mess here in the northeast as well. Did Robin Williams take his own life because of money
troubles . He apparently on the verge of bankruptcy after two expensive divorces. Sources say that he recently confide to do a friend that he feared for his familys financial security. He had been trying to sell his villas since 2012 for 35 million, but there were no takers for that. Investigators confirming that he did hang himself after trying to slash his wrist. No word yet on plans for a memorial service. Then other sad news to bring you out of hollywood. Another hollywood legend has passed away. The leading lady, Lauren Bacall. You know how to whistle, dont you . You put your lips together and blow. Shes just gorgeous. That is a scene from the 1944 film the haves and have notes. She was a model and then became an actress and eventually went on to marry humphrey bogart. He was her costar. Throughout her 60year career, she appeared in more than 30
movies, performed on broadway. She died of a stroke. She was 89 years old. I always think of her as so much younger, though. I was surprised to learn she was 89. So talented. Beautiful. I actually think they were better actors back then then they are now. When you watch those movies, i think they were better at it. Twitter is on fire now because of a bunch of actors now. Absolutely. Lets talk about a battle thats going on on the democratic side. The secretary of state give an explanation on hers views. Not just when it comes to what she wanted to do and what she didnt want to do, specifically with iran. She wouldnt buy into it. In the approach, would be more aggressive. When it came to the situation with arming the rebel, she said my recommendation was to do it. And because of that, the debate
for foreign aid is wow. Another critic of president obama, but this time somebody that was working for him. Yesterday she tried to make amends. Right. This is her quote from the atlantic interview. She said great nations need organizing principles and dont do stupid stuff is not an organizing principle. They are referring to obamas Foreign Policy of sorts. David axelrod certainly didnt like that quote and he took to twitter defending the president saying this to clarify, dont do stupid stuff means stuff like occupying iraq in the first place, which was a tragically bad decision, says he. So lets take a step back for a second. So Hillary Clinton now says dont do stupid stuff is not a Foreign Policy. Meanwhile, during the last four years or so, weve had gates come out and say he was making a mistake by pulling out of iraq, panetta saying that by pulling out of iraq. Weve had again petraeus say it and now Hillary Clinton. So there is four high level people who probably have a good idea of what the right thing to do in iraq was. And then romney. And mitt romney, right. Yet president obama, who said any criticism of his Foreign Policy remember when he said this a couple weeks ago is horse specifically when he talks about arming the syrian rebels. If you disagree with president obama, its horse blank, but all these high level people who really have a good idea of what to do in iraq have a good idea. But shes going to see the first lady tonight on the vineyard, correct . Im sure ill get invited. Hillary said the United States in making that statement, didnt mean to offend the president , didnt mean to attack him, his policies or his leadership and she thinks it would be fine to wear that striped tie to the Party Tonight. I might take it off. Karl rove put it all in perspective about where we were and where we are. Is the world a safer place today . No. It is not a safer place because what we did, its succeed not guilty removing the taliban in afghanistan and removing Saddam Hussein has been frittered away by the policies of this administration. We need a change from the failed policy of the Obama Administration. Thats a difficult dance for the democrats. More difficult than for the republicans. Certainly a difficult one for Hillary Clinton moving into 2016 to try to side step and distance herself from president obama where she sat and made decision on Foreign Policy, to critique his is a risky thing to do moving forward, i think is what hes saying. May not benefit her. If the president is upset now and David Axelrod has to go to twitter to defend him, its only going to get worse as 2016 goes. Its strange where she has to go. She went so far right with this. In her defense, shes always been there. Shes always been lets do more in syria. Lets do more in areas that
there is some unrest. And now the timing of it. President obama basically saying dont do stupid stuff is his Foreign Policy and the atlantic interview, which is a fantastic interview, if you havent read it, read it. It all came together at the same time. But its very interesting, the letter she wrote, the phone call she made and now the visit shes making to president obama. I dont know. Im not sure thats great optics. President obama got back at her kind of by saying his biggest mistake was doing libya. Guess whose idea that was. Hillary clinton. Eight minutes after the top of the hour. Lets go out to washington where the crisis in iraq. Additional 130 troops, after president obama promised no boots on the ground. Elizabeth prann live in dc with the pentagons new strategy. Am i right . The pentagon is really careful when they describe it. Theyre saying its a temporary mission, 130 troops are headed to the region on the heels of
air strikes and a massive aid assistance. Their job is to gauge the humanitarian crisis of the thousands of iraqi civilians. Officials say any attempt to relocate those who were stranded would likely involve an international effort, but defense secretary chuck hagel says the troops are not headed for combat. They are, quote, assessors. This is not any extension of any role other of the United States, other than to find ways to assist and help advise the Iraqi Security forces. Were not going back into iraq in any of the same combat mission dimensions that we once were in in iraq. Very specific, is not a combat boots on the ground operation. Were not going to have that kind of operation. Reporter for so many
reasons, situation does remain fluid and very dangerous. The u. S. Is working to strategically read a bat that will is ever changing. The Islamic State used to behave more as an organized army with a strategy and perhaps a predictable plan. Now theyre seen more as insurgency with tactics unpredictable. Militants are working to blend in among the population, making it a new and difficult enemy. Back to you guys. Wow. Thank you. All right. We just know there is no boots on the ground. We know that for sure. When you talk about the pin prick air strikes to single choppers trying to deliver aid, we ask, is there a real strategy here when dealing with this region . Charles krauthammer says the only strategy the president has is this. His mind, he was committed to a policy of hands off. Were not going to get into syria. Were not going to get back into iraq. Im the peace maker. I won the nobel on the
presumption im the man who takes us out of wars. So to act forcefully, to act decisively would have been a contradiction of the self image and of the image he wants history to read and the American People to see. I got news for you, if you look at the press conference on monday, you can see the department of defense is not buying whatever strategy the president is putting out there. They basically let it be known its really not going to be effective longterm to take down isis. In june of 2011, john brennan, then seenor advisor to 30, said alqaeda would do what theyre doing and do what theyre doing now. Trust me, our strategy is also shaped by a deeper understanding of alqaedas goals, strategies and tactics. Im not talk being alqaedas grand vision of global domination through a violence islamist califate. Thats absurd. Were not going to organize our
counterterrorism policies against a feckless delusion thats never going to happen. Were not going to elevate these thugs in their murderous aspirations into something larger than they are. Three years later, alqaedas vision not looking so absurd with isis now ruling large territories in iraq and syria. So has the Obama Administration underestimated the reach of this terror group . Our next guest knows firsthand the dangers of underestimating islamic terrorists. The former commandser officer of the uss cole which was attacked by alqaeda in 2000. He joins us now. Thank you for being with us. It is an honor to have you here. We thank you for your service. How grave is the mistake to underestimate alqaeda, isis, calling them a jv team as the president did back in 2011 as we just heard there from those in the department, how much of a mistake was that . Well, good morning. It is a big mistake. I clearly lived through the
consequences of underestimating in the Intelligence Community the threat that alqaeda represented to our nation and the attack on cole when 911 occurred. Now were seeing an underappreciation of how much of a threat isis, isil, whatever they want to call themselves these days, is going to represent. Theyve taken huge swaths of territory. Theyre becoming much more militarily capable. Every time we do nothing but pin prick strikes, were really giving them an opportunity to adapt and adjust to a strategy that has no direction right now. Commander, i think it the numbers have been estimated around 10,000 now, total numbers for isis. How is it that 10,000 fighters can be taking so much territory when we have literally hundreds of thousands, whether its kurds or Iraqi Military to fight these guys . Whats going on . Are they that mean . Are they that bad that they can handle themselves with literally ten to one or 20 to one against
them . I think what youre seeing is both the you have to look at the territory theyre grabbing, the physical geographic location and how its put out, the material that theyve been able to gain by taking over military bases and use that, plus some of these countries, theyre unprepared. They did not expect this type of attack. While they have the ability to defend themselves when you get closer in to their real territorial bounds, whether its where the kurds are or toward baghdad, clearly theyve been able to take large swaths with a relatively small group because theyve gone unchallenged. What would you advise the president to do in terms of strategy . I think the first thing the president needs to do is do what he should have done five years ago. Invest in the Intelligence Community, specifically the c. I. A. , develop a human intelligence sources so that we can get people on the ground in syria, in lebanon, in jordan, in iraq so that we can understand the threat, see how its developing from an on the ground perspective. We dont have that right now. We dismantled that to a degree during a number of administrations. It needs to come back now. The president had five years. Clearly his senior advisors, both with general clapper and john brennan do not appreciate or cannot understand the threat because we dont have the intelligence sources. Consequently, were setting this nation up for another attack. Weve been gutting our military, people dont seem to mind. The only thing the president seems to be happy cutting is the military. But overall, the Intelligence Community is apoplectic with that statement. They have been warning the administration about the growth of isis, as fallujah fell, as ramadi fell, mosul falls and all of a sudden its a five alarm fire. So theyre upset by this. I also sense that the pentagon is not happy with the strategy, whatever it is, that theyve been asked to implement right now because i watched that briefing on monday. They said were not going to control isis with this. Were not going to be able to really do trend have tremendous success with the
humanitarian mission. So whats going on here . Well, first to answer the question, brian, what strategy . There is no strategy for how to deal with isis right now. Consequently, what youre looking at is a military thats being pushed forward. You got an Intelligence Community that may be sounding the alarm bells internally, but clearly the administration is more interested in political posturing than using productive intelligence to make a strategic decision on how to safeguard the nation. The military have to suck it up and do as its told . Hopefully we dont do that. But these days were seeing so Many PoliticalSenior Leaders in the military that are beholden to the white house rather than in defense of the nation, that they need to start speak out and loudly. They may work for the commander in chief, but they also work for the American People. Are you disappointed in Martin Dempsey . I think that obviously there are a number of Political Considerations that he takes into account with every word he says and i think its
unfortunate. I have yet to see him take on the president and while many people say oh, you just cant do that, the reality of it is he has a larger obligation to the defense of this nation than to the commander in chiefs political policies. Wow. Commander, thanks so much. Thank you. Thank you. Really drawing a light on the threat that is real to americans right now as far as isis is concerned.

He made us all laugh, but we know that Robin Williams had a tough battle with addiction and severe depression. The battle he lost this week. Thats right. He is not alone. Approximately 16 million adults dealt with a depressive episode in 2012. There is still a stigma attached and many people are not as open as williams was. Here to help with the discussion and answer some of your questions, psychiatrist and Fox News Contributor dr. Keith ablow. Welcome. Big news. So lets just go right to some of these emails. E male from joe says what did Robin Williams have to be depressed about . He was famous and rich. Well, here is the thing, this
viewer doesnt grasp what depression really is. Its an illness. It fools the psychological immune system, literally. You think there is nothing to live for. You have no defenses against it and it seems as though death is preferrable to life, which we all know is not true. But that is how severe a condition it is. Listen, to the viewer, youre infinitely richer than mr. Williams survivors who now cope with the gravity of his loss. This is a monstrous condition. It isnt about fame or money that makes you immune. Nothing makes you immune. This is an email from lynn. We love your insight on it as well. I have a 34yearold child battling ocd, depression, and need to know how to tackle this horrible disorder. Shes getting counseling and has been put on medication. Dr. Ablow mentioned a drug. Could you please tell me what it is . I think the medicine that shes referring to is called catamine. It was a drug of abuse in clubs. People would use too much of it, take it by mouth and get high. But we know now is that when its infused, given i. V. , about six times, it can lift people out of their depressions in dramatic fashion and especially it can crush suicidal thinking. So if your Family Member is struggling with depression and literally thinking of taking his or her life, you may very well want to consider catamine as one solution. Very good. Another says i heard many times that its common for people who suffer clinical depression after major heart surgery. It seems he had many struggles over the years as many comedians do. Perhaps the surgery played a role. Perhaps it did. And there can be many reasons why heart surgery could impact a man or woman. You may see your mortality in a different way, feel that youre vulnerable, think that your energy is not as great as it once was. But also medicines used after
heart surgery can cause depression, beta blockers. These are antihyper tensesive and agents that help the heart function, but they can also cause depression. If you or a loved one started a beta blocker antihyper tensesive, antiblood pressure medicine and you have changed in terms of your mood, talk to your doctor about the alternatives. Another tweet from peggy who says i understand that depression can be a cause of suicide or a factor in it. But is it really a reason for it well, i think what peggy is trying to get at is is it hopeless . Is the pain which has been compared in studies to being as severe as that of a malignancy, of cancer, is that a reason . Listen, peggy, no, never, because these are treatable conditions, depression and anxiety. Everybody ive treated gets better and there are conditions that come and go. So even if you did nothing, you
could look forward, most people, to it remitting. But we have such powerful tools now to treat this, its never a reason. The trouble is it steals your ability to be rational, so you think there is a reason. There is never that reason. There is a big question going back and forth in the wake of Robin Williams death. Is depression and dependence, which one came first . Do people use drugs to deal with the depression or does the drug use cause the dependence . Both and. It can go either way. You can be depressed and therefore drugs and alcohol, which can exert some mood lifting effects. Unfortunately, theyre bad ways to lift your mood. But you can start with that, with depression. On the other hand using cocaine, stimulants and even marijuana in a chronic way can cause depression. So there is a very Unhealthy Alliance between those two
disorders. Dr. Keith, we want to thank you. You really led the way yesterday with this network. A meaningful practical conversation about depression and what it can ultimately lead to and how to get help. Thank you for that. Thank you. Hes hiding in russia, accused of being a traitor.

Elisabeth challenged me the other day. So were all jumping on the band wagon. I have news out of the midwest this morning. A third night of riots in missouri. Now violence and tensions in ferguson, missouri over the shooting of an unarmed black surgeon. Rioters say theyre calling for justice for 18yearold Michael Brown who was shot and killed by a cop, but an investigation is not complete. Police in riot gear lining the street in a barricade hoping to
stop the protesters from advancing. Anger over authorities refuse to go identify the Police Officer who fatally shot the teenager. Police citing Death Threats against that officer. The shooting also triggering violent riots and looting in that area. The faa even forced to temporarily restrict air space over that city because someone shot at police helicopters. In a statement president obama called the shooting heart breaking. Take a look here at the new cover of wired magazine that. Is Edward Snowden as he clutches an american flag. The man who leaked secret Government Data is still living in russia after the government of Vladimir Putin announced he would be allowed to stay there three more years. He claims he, quote, cares more about america than what happens to me. President obama promised to crack down on lobbyists in the white house. Remember he said that time and time again during the campaign. He said paid lobbyists were
drowning out the views of ordinary citizens. This morning the president changing his mind. He just decided to loose the restrictions on lobbyists who want to serve on federal advisory boards. This major reversal coming after several lobbyists filed a suit claiming that their Constitutional Rights were being violated. Listen to this one. What do you think about this story . Bibles now getting the boot from the u. S. Navy . Theyre now being removed from every hotel room on military bases. This following a complaint from the freedom from religion foundation. The bibles will be taken to donation centers. The American Family association calling for christians to fight back and calling on the navy to reverse that decision. Those are your headlines. What do you think about that . In the meantime, lets head outside to maria. Weve got flash flooding thats causing chaos across the country. Before we head to her, let me mention, this is brandnew video we just got in this morning. This is a highway on long island, new york. I had to drive through part of this on my way to work this morning. Maria, flooding all across the country and the threat isnt over just yet. Hey, thats right. The threat not over yet. The storm system still on the move after producing more than a foot of rain in several areas, including parts of long island and also across the state of maryland yesterday. So a very powerful storm system. Today we could be seeing more flooding across portions of new england. Thats where we have some flash flood watches in effect. You can see on the radar image some very heavy rain still coming down across parts of long island, parts of connecticut and moving into parts of massachusetts. And there is a look at your flash flood watches that are in effect and also several warnings out there. Temperature wise, behind this cold front, it is going to be a lot cooler. Take a look at some of the high temperatures in places like cleveland, low 70s. 70s in carby, maine. Across portions of the plains, it will be a hot one. Temperatures in the 90s from rapid city down into parts of texas. Now i am tossing over to you. I have nothing in my ear. I cant hear producers. I know whats going on here. Youve done it. You have to do something extraordinary for an unbelievable cause. Thats right. The als ice bucket challenge is taking social media by storm. As you know, als right now needs finances. Everyone is doing the ice bucket challenge. Then there is a rumor going out that the money is not being raised for als. Joining us now robert tuckman, he is one of the experts in this area. Hes going to tell us what the truth is about als. Thanks so much for coming out. Thanks for having me. Tell me about the movement and tell me about the success its really having. Its been incredible. So als, we dont get a lot of notoriety over any time period. This time period in the last two weeks weve raised 2. 3 million in comparison to 22,000 the same time frame last year. Donations are actually up . Oh, my god up, off the charts. Its incredible. I cant explain my gratitude for what has happened with this
movement. Everything it means to als. Als, it affects a small amount of people, but its such a devastating disease and the fact that weve been able to have this blessing has been incredible. We take a younger set of generations and teens that are doing it, celebrities and athletes, baseball players, lou gehrigs disease is how its known. One of the coaches said look, imagine if in that time, 1939, there could have been a medium to spread awareness and raise funds what, could have been done back then . Its incredible. This couldnt have happened five years ago. Now were looking at a situation here where we got to rethink, how do he get our message out . Social media is doing that for us right now. Its incredible. How does a bucket become money . So lets not say everyone is throwing the ice bucket over their heads, thats great. But how do you really raise
money is that what you do is you throw the ice over your head, which were going to do, and then make a donation to als and you can do that at als. Org and you can send checks, you can do it on line. Really thats what its about. Everyone chipping in. So people see maria like this, or elisabeth, and they say, im motivated, thats what you want them to do . Exactly. If they can go to als. Org and donate money, thats great. I challenge someone when im done, correct . You can challenge three people and we have three people right here. Wait, wait, wait. There is one thing. I do have other weather to do. So i brought my shower cap. Here is a thermometer. Im a meteorologist. Someone else pat her dawn. See what else shes got. There is janitors with less
stuff on. Shes capped and ready to go for the ice bucket challenge to benefit als research. Are you ready . Doing the ice dance. It was 48 hours when she was doing it to herself. Now its maria molina doing it for als. I do it myself . We can lift it up for you and then youre going to dunk it. One, two, three. Well done. How does it feel . Now i have to challenge someone, right . You have to challenge somebody else. Im going to bring in my weather teammate, rick reichmuth, for a good cause. Here we go. He has 24 hours to do the challenge. So we can give him 24 hours or get him right now. So maria, youre a great sport for a great cause. Elisabeth, way to motivate. Thank you so much.

Reporter good morning. They say art is subjective. Here in some parts of the city, some people think this art is criminal. This morning two american flags fly high atop the Brooklyn Bridge, but it was a very different scene on july 22 when our old glory was swapped out for two bleached flags. In the last month, there has been a lot of speculation as to who may have done this and what their purpose was for this, were these anarchists or people trying to expose security lapses. We know two german stunt men really, dare devils have taken responsibility for this. They are german performance artists who say that they do this typically in urban public spaces like the Brooklyn Bridge and it is simply art to them. But they chose the 22nd of july because its a date that john robling, who constructed the bridge, died. Police are still investigating. They say the investigation is ongoing, but the guys say they didnt mean any harm and it wasnt an antiamerican stance. Thats the latest from the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge. Back thank you.

New tensions for a third night in a row in ferguson, missouri, over the Fatal Shooting of an unarmed black student. 18yearold Michael Brown was shot and killed by a Police Officer. Overnight police in riot gear lining the streets hoping to stop protesters from advancing further inflaming the anger. Police refusing to identify the cop who fatally shot brown, citing Death Threats. Did Robin Williams take his own life because of money troubles . He apparently on the verge of bankruptcy after two expensive divorces. Sources say that he recently confided to a friend that he feared for his familys financial security. He had been trying to sell his house since 2012 for 35 million, but there were apparently no takers. Williams also struggled with addiction and depression. Earlier today dr. Ablow
explained what he called an Unhealthy Alliance between the two disorders. Listen to this. You can be depressed and therefore drugs and alcohol which can exert some mood lifting effects, unfortunately, theyre bad ways to lift your mood. But you can start with that, with depression. On the other hand, using cocaine, stimulants and even marijuana in a chronic way can cause depression. Investigators confirming that williams hanged himself after he tried to slash his wrist. No word yet on plans for a memorial service. More sad news out of hollywood. Another hollywood legend has passed away. The leading lady, Lauren Bacall. You know how to whistle, put your lips together and blow. Thats one lady. That is a scene from the film to have and have not, one of the iconic moments of history. She was a model turned actress and eventually married her
costar, humphrey bogart. She had a 60year career and appeared in more than 30 movies, performed on broadway and received an honorary oscar. She was 89 years old. That was one sexy woman. Right. Not kidding there. Incredible career. And normally this would be even bigger news, but with the Robin Williams suicide, everyone is talking about that. But Lauren Bacall certainly noteworthy. Lets talk about politics. While you were sleeping, last night Hillary Clinton was not. No, she was on the phone and guess who she was calling. It was the president. It was to perhaps apologize, we hear, over a quote that she was given to an atlantic interview where she condemned the president s Foreign Policy, saying it was his dont do stupid stuff. Great nations need principles and dont do stupid stuff is not an organizing principle. It prompted her to get backlash from David Axelrod and make the call to the president ,
apologizing before a big party today. Here is David Axelrods tweet before she made the phone call. Just to clarify, he tweeted out, dont do stupid stuff means stuff like occupying iraq in the first place, which was a tragically bad decision. Thats axelrods conclusion. Hes doing that because Hillary Clinton, one of 29 democrats in the senate at the time who voted in support of the war, because she was with bill clinton when she was first lady and saw the threat that iraq was. Perhaps later on she would say for political reasons, she changed her mind because she couldnt support the surge in iraq because barak obama had already isolated her because she had supported the war in iraq. Dont forget, president obama, one of the first things he did, first Foreign Policy speech in june of 2009 said, you know, were doing this. Were pulling out. Were basically he was basically being an apologist over the way we had been for the last ten or so years, saying america is not going to be that way going forward. So he told the American People
and the world frankly what he was up to. It should come as no surprise that he would say dont do stupid stuff as his Foreign Policy. This is a story in politico today. One of the things where the rubber hit the road with Hillary Clinton reportedly and barak obama, according to the former secretary of state, was the free syrian army. When the syrian started the protests against assad, she essentially said i support it. Supporting the protesters to professor throw assad and the president says its ridiculous to think a bunch of farm insists were going to farmists were going to overthrow a government like assad. Really . A person in the room when that proposal was made, it wasnt done by Hillary Clinton. It was done by leon panetta, supported by David Petraeus, and perhaps by the secretary of state, and the president , when he left that meeting, requested from congress 500 million to support the free syrian army. So if its farcecal to think we could possibly support the free syrian army, why did the president request 500 million for it . Here you have Hillary Clinton, can she have it both ways . She said shes sorry for saying what she said about what he said about Foreign Policy. As we move into 2016, karl rove indicated you better pay really close attention to history here because having it both ways might not prove so well for you. Weve seen the drama once before. In 1968 Vice PresidentHubert Humphrey, who disagreed with president johnson on the vietnam war had difficulty breaking from the administration. He finally did it in a speech in salt lake in october. But by doing so, he neither placated the critics nor kept the support of all of johnsons of those who agreed with johnson. So the question is, can the president can Hillary Clinton who wants to be president , perhaps, can she unite the Democratic Party by criticizing the democratic press . How would she answer the question, you were there for four years. Most of the iraq policy was developed under your watch with
the white house. How did you not stop it . How did you not step up and say hey, im against this and i want to put my foot down and let the world know because here we are six years later, you want to run for president . In defense of the former secretary of state, i dont really remember too many times when the secretary of state has turned on the president. Colin powell used to do is plant stories in newspapers saying, according to a high ranking source, colin powell is not for x policy. But the president would decide between them. In this case, the department of state and defense was for it. The president got some mystery advice not to go with it. When the first lady and Hillary Clinton come together at a big party on the vineyard tonight, it might get a little icy or awkward. Or did the im sorry work last night on the phone call to the president . In other news, the u. S. Is sending an additional 130 troops to iraq after president obama had promised no boots on the ground. Elizabeth prann is live in washington with what the pentagon is now saying. Elizabeth what, is the very latest . Reporter well, after the u. S. Dropped strikes in massive amounts of supplies to thousands of helpless stranded civilians, the pentagon carefully announced an Additional Mission which includes 130 troops heading to the region. Theyll be gauging the humanitarian crisis which includes helpless men, women and children, all part of a religious minority, homeless on a mountain. Experts say a relocation effort could likely involve international resources. The white house is prudent when describing the mission. So these would be a limited number of advisors who would deploy to Northern Iraq where they would assess the situation with the Iraqi Government and determine what the options are to get humanitarian assistance to those people who are in need. Reporter while the additional troops will assist the state department and others in helping those trapped with limited food, water and medical care, of course, in the summer heat, the military front also rages on. U. S. Officials continue to read an ever changing battle. The islamist stake used to reportedly behave more as an organized army with a strategy and perhaps a predictable plan. Now theyre using insurgency plans, and perhaps one some military officials need Additional Air strikes. Back to you guys. Going to be a tough few weeks and maybe months. Mine while, dont you think its important if were going to come up with a strategy to understand who the enemy is and how dangerous it could possibly be . If you were looking at the c. I. A. To come up with that answer, perhaps the infrastructure is there, but the man who would eventually become the c. I. A. Director was not somebody who could actually see over the horizon on the potential danger of a group like isis forming. In fact, john brennan, the former counterterrorism advisor, now c. I. A. Director, actually said it would be delusional, this couldnt happen. Nothing to worry about when it comes to isis. Our strategy is also shaped by a deeper understanding of
alqaedas goals, strategy and tactics. Im not talking about alqaedas grandiose vision of global domination through a caliphate. That vision is absurd and were not going to organize our counterterrorism policies against a feckless delusion thats never going to happen. We are not going to elevate these thugs and their murderous aspirations into something larger than they are. Okay. Thanks. Because now they are larger and now they have called themselves an established caliphate that has straddled iraq and syria and now baghdad. 10,000 in training. Tens of millions of dollars behind them with a mission to murder christians across the region. I mean, this is pure genocide here. Their mission as we heard from many officials, to actually increase attempts to get into the United States. This is alqaeda in the making now. This is the new alqaeda moving to kill anyone who doesnt believe what they believe. Right. They stole somewhere around 1 1 2 billion dollars in gold from an iraqi bank. Here is a quiz, brian. This guy was held by the u. S. Military from 2005 to 2009. President obama declared were pulling out of iraq. Under that, it may have been amnesty that let this guy out in 2010. He became an alqaeda leader. His name is abu al bagdadi. Do you know who he is . The leader of isis now. We had him. We let him go. Hes now the leader of isis. If that doesnt tell you that president obama and his Foreign Policy and his dealing with terrorists in the middle east is all off and dangerous, nothing else will. The guy we had in that prison is now leading isis. It makes you wonder that five for one trade for sergeant bergdahl, are those guys going to start showing up in isis . Hear no evil, see no evil doesnt mean it doesnt exist. That theory of hands off has proven wrong. Were now suffering now an attempt to kind of come back
from behind as it seems from the president. His last words when he was left out was to his guards, located on long island, ill see you in new york. Meanwhile, other major news, including stuff to be passionate about, immigration. A traffic stop turns ugly in arizona when immigration activists showed up to defend an illegal who got busted behind the wheel. Yeah. Defending the illegal. Those out of control activists even threw their bodies underneath a Border Patrol car in an attempt to delay the arrest. And they claim the cops are racist and officers say theyre just doing their job. Following the 2010 Immigration Law that sparked protests across the country. Joining us is the author of that law. When you see that video of citizens stopping an officer from doing his job, what does
that make you think and feel . Well, it makes me feel like the rule of law is truly under threat in this country because we passed this law and the Arizona Legislature passed it with huge majority. We fought it all the way to the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court said this law stands. But when the open borders left doesnt get their way, they turn to mob violence. Our country is supposed to be a country where the representatives vote on a law. If someone wants to challenge it in court, they can. Hey, this law is perfectly legitimate. There is nothing biased about it. Who in your mind, is violating the law then . Well, the illegal alien is violating the law. He committed a Traffic Violation and then admitted to the officer that hes here in the country illegally. Thats when sb 1070 quick in, like its intended. The officer has to make a call to the Border Patrol or ice and as a result, one less illegal alien is in the state of arizona. Thats how its supposed to work. You multiply it by tens of thousands of times across the state and you have a significant multiplier that the federal
government, the Border Patrol and ice can use with the help of state and local police. Chris, who turned this issue on its head . Who flipped this issue . This clearly is right and wrong. Now its wrong and right. Yeah. The interesting thing here is this strife, this flipping of the issue, if you will, is completely artificial. Apparently the driver of the car had a phone number with him and he called the protesters and said hey, im in contact with the Tucson Police right now and they spontaneously came to him and started this thats why i say artificial protest, to make a big stink over this law. By the way, there have been thousands of other illegal aliens arrested in traffic incidents in tucson and handed over to the Border Patrol with no incident whatsoever. Chris, thanks so much for joining us. This is probably one of the most important issues domestically that were tackling. Coming up, brandnew details
revealing tony stewart almost killed another driver last year at the same track he struck and killed kevin ward, junior in inadvertently, it seems. The latest bombshell in this investigation .

Well, this morning he may have changed his mind. Next up, there is hype for hillary. 57. For obama, 2009. After that, there is biggest inspiration, hillarys is john f. Kennedy.

He said they were drowning out the views of ordinary citizens. Well, this morning the president changed his mind. He just decided to loosen the restrictions on lobbyists who want to serve on federal advisory boards. Game on. Elisabeth . Thank you. Brandnew bombshell for tony stewart, the family of nascar driver alicia ruggles claiming he almost killed a female driver last year. At the same track he struck and killed kevin ward. What does the bombshell mean for the current investigation going on now . Joining us is fox news legal analyst peter peer. It gets more disturbing by the moment. Greg cooper, a cousin of a woman named alicia ruggles, whose back
was broken allegedly in a race with stewart, says stewart was trying to splash mud, or stone, as he says, mr. Laird. To send a message. Push him back, and that it went terribly awry and resulted in his death. Unfortunately, mr. Stewarts got a history in terms of how hes acted and what he said. Reportedly in 2013 he made these comments about driver joey lagano in a race. If he ever turns down in front of me again, i dont care what lap it is, he wont make it through the other end of it. We have some other evidence. Paul kinney, a driver in saturdays race, said its not a good idea to get out of your car, but nobody can speak for tony. Only tony knows exactly what happened. Ive seen kevin clear as day. Nobody else ran into him either. So what hes saying is mr. Laird was there to be seen. No one else struck him. But mr. Stewart at that time and why did that occur . There was a caution flag and according to some reports in the accident reconstruction is being done now in a forensic way, mr. Stewarts car sped up. We dont know whether he was shifting in some way, that he was speeding up to avert the person on the track, who knows . Couple of issues, will tony stewart be charged . Early this morning before i saw this New York Post story that details this new event, i thought no, because new york has the lowest vehicle homicide rate in the United States. Drivers charged with homicide in only 5 of fatal crashes. In order to charge someone on a manslaughter standard or even a vehicle homicide standard in new york, there must be a moral blame worthiness test, meaning you need to be wreckless, a violation of the law. The violation of a statute is not enough. Did prior activity or quote lend any weight to that theory . It lends weight in terms of
intent, if there was an intentional act by tony stewart that somehow he was trying to strike his fellow driver who was trying to kill him on the track, what he said or what he did or what happened between the two of them, there was a bump, that may be part of the investigation. Thats a criminal aspect of it. Can the track or tony stewart himself be sued . Yes, and i believe they will be sued. He will be sued and the track will be sued as a result of this. Negligence is the standard. Appropriate reasonable behavior is the standard. There is an issue when you go on a track like that and other sprint car tracks around the country, drivers have to sign a waiver as a result of a 2008 accident in williamsport, pennsylvania, there was a lawsuit brought by a quadriplegic driver. He lost that and he lost that because he had signed the waiver. Track issues will come into play. Why wasnt the driver directed to stay in the car . Thats the email and the tweets im getting time and time again. Why did he step out of the car into harms way . Was he stunned . Was he a victim of head trauma at that point . Why was he pointing at tony stewart . Why did tony stewart act in the fashion that he did . Negligent, intentional, bad break, gods will, who knows . The investigation continues. I dont believe hell be prosecuted, but this will be a vigorous, vigorous lawsuit in which they go after tony stewart and this track for millions and millions of dollars. Wow. Peter johnson, jr. , thank you. We know you will stay on that. We will. Its a tragic and interesting story. Sure is, thanks. Still ahead, call the pc police.

How many times has this happened to you . Check out the animal sitting in the front seat. He crawled inside after sniffing out which is called a yummy sandwich. One of the guys left hyped. How bad do you feel if you had a sandwich in there and the bear those the other guys . He stayed there for 30 minutes before he decided to leave. Hi, honey. Thanks a lot, but it wasnt bear worthy. Playing some music and
hanging out. What did they used to eat before they started coming out . Peanut but ther and jelly things. What are they called . Crustables. Uncrustables. Its a little disk and packed with jelly and peanut butter. Back to this, what do bears eat . Do they eat squirrels . Chipmunk . Do they have to eat our stuff . Its better, brian. Its just better. Your dog likes people food better than dog food, doesnt he . I dont know. We dont give him the opportunity. Duke. Duke gets no people food. He never has people food. How do you know hes not having it right now . He may not get people food and it looks like two groups might not get the bible. There is a war in religion going on. Right now bibles are booted from navy base guest rooms and an Atheist Group is telling a Georgia Football Team to punt the prayers. Thats right. Weve had two situation. If you go to visit in the navy in the guest rooms, they no longer hold the bibles. And then is the school actually in gainesville, they use a proverbs quote up on their game plan to inspire some of the players. One concerned citizen wrote in and said, hey, were not having this anymore. This is not freedom for us. Thats offensive. Its too religious and being forced on the players to motivate them. I dont know how having a bible in a hotel room in a drawer is forced on anyone. You dont want to read it, leave it in the drawer. Youre not forced to read it. I cant figure that out. You would think an american organization, a federalrun organization would be able to make their own decisions. But its atheist organizations pushing back. If its a money thing, i bet your bottom buck you will find someone willing to donate all the bibles for all the rooms in the navy and high school. We put this on facebook. In america, were guaranteed freedom of religion, now it seems the only ones who are not guaranteed that are the christian majority. I would agree with eric, even though my name is eric. Tom says, why are atheists rights more important than everyone elses . Where is the constitution say we never have to see something that offends us . All these lawsuits do is cost tax dollars and they all offend me. Kerry said this, sad that we push equality unless it comes to the christian beliefs and then its wrong. Very hypocritical. In light of whats going on in the world and the persecution of christians right now, how close i would add this other question, how close do we want to get to emmitting religious eliminating religious freedom. And i carry the constitution every day. This is a big, big point of contention. Im a constitutionalist and these freedom from religion groups, i dont think they have a basis in this. I really dont. I think theyre expanding. Theyre overstepping their bounds on it. Theyre passionate in what they dont believe. Right. Or want you to believe. Im passionate about tossing to heather. Fine, well let you. Lets talk about this rain all across the country. Look at what happened in the midwest. This video is simply unbelievable. Take a look. A massive wave of water coming right through the doors and windows at a hospital in nebraska. The water washing away tables and chairs in the cafeteria in just seconds there. That flooding is a result of nearly four inches of rain that came down so quickly. A real mess out there. The body of casey kasem is now being moved a second time. Sources say that his widow, jean, is planning to have his body flown to norway against the wishes of his children here in the United States. She reportedly wants to prevent a second autopsy from occurring. Last month she flew his body to canada from a funeral home in washington state. Listen to this, he was
afraid of being deported. A suspected illegal immigrant on the run from police and this is such a tragic story, crashes into a car, leaving a family of four dead. He led police on a wild chase near houston after refusing to stop for a Traffic Violation. His speeds reaching 100 Miles Per Hour. His girlfriend says that she was on the phone with him during the time of the chase and he said he was afraid of being deported. He also died in that crash. A family of four dead also this morning. And no opposable thumbs necessary. This clever cat figured out a way to open all the doors on his own. The owner even tried putting water in front of the door, but that didnt stop him. He now goes out whenever he wants. Those are your headlines. Remember last week we had the bear who opened the car door . Right. I will say this, my dog has bad hips. He would jump on the screen door
and walk backwards with it. That was before the iphone and i couldnt tape it. Again. We dont believe you. If you want to be impressed by the cat, fine. But im more impressed by my German Shepherd in 1979. I still dont believe you. I need proof. Appreciate it. Over the weekend i took the ice bucket challenge. You can believe it to benefit als and the challenge is taking social media by storm and everyone is getting in on the action. A little while ago, it was maria molinas turn. Doing the ice bath. It was 48 hours ago when she was doing it to herself. Now its maria molina doing it for als. Duke it for a great cause. I do it myself . Youre we can lift it and you dump it. One, two, three. Well done. How did it feel . Very cold. She did a great job. Have you warmed up since . I think i feel very refreshed. I say we do this every single morning before the show starts. What do you think . Sounds good. That shower cap is going right to the smithsonian. We got to get a new shower cap for tomorrow. I think you get two more picks. I think you might be able to get doocy and kill need in there. Kilmeade in there. Ill nominate you, eric. No, kilmeade and doocy. There you go. You know how the fives one more thing. You have 24 hours to take the als challenge. Can i get 36 . 24. 24 hours. But i do want to switch gears a little bit because today is wednesday. That means its science trivia day. And todays question is related to ice because of the ice bucket challenge. So todays question is, the process in which ice turns directly into a gas is called a, evaporation, b, sub limation, c, condensation, or d, reposition. What do you think . A. You think its a . Evaporation . This is an ice, a solid going directly to a gas. Ill go with a. Im going with b. Youre correct. Its sublimation. Youre kidding. By the way, thanks for letting me play. I guess ill play next week. Thanks for that. Coming up, the Empire State Building refused to honor mother theresa. Now kids with cancer are getting no respect either. And shes in a league of her own.

The teenage pitching phenomenon joins us now. Thanks for being with us. Thank you. Congratulations. How long have you been playing baseball . For about five or six years now. I mean, its outstanding. Does it hit you the way it hits everybody else, no pun intended that you are the 17th girl to go to the world
series. It happens on friday. But you as a girl on the mound taking your team to the victory, do you like that thats a big deal . I didnt really consider it as a big deal cause its just a regular game to me, win or lose. It was really honorable to make it this far. It wasnt really a big deal, but then when we won, that was a huge deal. It was very exciting and it was a lot of emotion going. It was kind of crazy. So looks like you have we talked about your 70 miles an hour fast ball. Looks like you have some really good breaking ball. But how did you learn all these pitches . Who is your mentor . My catcher, scott, he also pitches sometimes and he helps me out a lot. But his dad, steve, hes been my coach for a while now.

Breaking news when bill and i join you at the top of the hour. Access to a project genesis summary. Identify for retina scan. Kirk, admiral james t. Security approved. Wow. Seemed to work for them. Could that be the future of computer passwords . Maybe. Earlier this month Russian Hackers stole private information from 1 billion people on the internet. Americans. Now experts are look for new ways to secure your information,
including biometrics. Here to explain Cyber Security expert mark rash. First off, how outdated is the password system . Weve been using passwords to identify people for 50 years. So its really not a very good system because people have to remember so many passwords and theyre so susceptible to being stolen. I cant remember one from then. I swear im going to remember them. The next day i get up its gone. Two out of every threeday at that breaches involve the exploitation of weak or stolen passwords. So passwords one, two, three is not screwing up the would be hackers. What the hackers do is steal a database of encrypted passwords. Theyll run the dictionary attack. Theyll take every word in the dictionary, run it against the encrypted pass words and figure out which ones are actual words. What about the white houses solution to possibly use your
drivers license . Its not really a drivers license. The idea is that youve already proven to somebody when you get a drivers license or some authentication document that you are who you say you are, so that somebody will come by and say, look, this person really is mark rash. This person really is Brian Kilmeade and then tell other people that thats who they really are. So some other alternatives, cause we want to change this system, i believe. I believe europe has a better system than us. You say the phyto alliance offers alternative, including facial and voice recognition. There is lots of ways to prove you are you. And typically we talk about what they call two factor or multi factor authentication. In that star trek clip, you hear the computer ask who are you and he says kirk and they look to the retina to say who he really is. Thats two different things. Thats multi factor
authentication. Gate analysis, how you walk, how you talk, eye retina scanning, fingerprints. All right. The white house system centralizing all the user names and passwords, that doesnt excite you, right . Not at all. What you dont want to have happen is you dont want a centralized database of these biometrics. First of all, if its compromised, its really hard to get a new finger or new eyeball. Just not easy to do. But the second thing is, if you have strong identity management, people know everything that you do on line. And think about represssive governments or even represssive Companies Using that data to track everything youre doing. And you just love the fed rated i. D. System, correct . Right. Its sort of like this, its a wallet. So youve got strong i. D. , your drivers license. Youve got payment systems, your credit cards. And youve got weak i. D. S like your library card. And they all rely on each other. If you hack me, youll be very disappointed. I have no secrets. Mark rash, thanks so much. But unfortunately, the russians got 420,000 separate passwords. No. About 1. 2 billion passwords, of whichly about 500 are separate. Thanks so much. This is where were heading. I am dying for a change anyway. More fox friends in just a minute.

So bears are eating peoples lunches and brian, you asked if we were running out of woods and that was the reason why. So i checked with the brain room and the answer is no. Most recent statistics and facts show we have actually. 1 more wood than we had before. So my theory of the woods that were destroying the woods forcing the bears into public is not going to work. I have to come up with another theory . They said as more people encroach upon the bears habitat. Before i go, i want to say thank you to gabby for yelling in my ear the whole entire three

Bill we are sending more personnel to iraq as we get deeper into another mission. 100 additional military personnel and possibly a rescue mission could be next. Welcome to americas newsroom.
