or not. certainly other countries have also suspended flights to israel. more on that. >> moments ago the downed malaysian plane's black boxes have arrived in england. experts now downloading data from the recorders following a request by authorities in the netherlands who are now leading that investigation. also earlier this morning the first plane carrying the remains of some of the 298 victims left the airport in ukraine for the nght lands. it is trd -- it is considered a national day of mourning in the netherlands. in the meantime the united states said it found no link of direct russian involvement. but says vladimir putin base some responsibility for the attack. they provided the training and support for the rebels who most likely shot down the plane. here at home it could be one of the most watched senate races in the entire

and in 2012 the i.r.s. pumped out a rule giving subsidies to everybody, and that's what prompted this lawsuit. simultaneously the white house felt a little lucky because the fourth circuit in virginia said they're legal. now it could be headed to the supreme court. >> in the meantime the white house said it is going to continue handing out billions of taxpayer dollars in the subsidies until this gets figured out and works its way up the court system. >> could be years. >> three judges decided this. it seems to be a major blow when it comes to obamacare and the money that's being handed out, in this case determined here in these three courts. they said it is illegal. a constitutional scholar said this is a bloody mess. >> it will be a bloody mess. the problem is the president, it was found by the d.c. circuit, to have exceeded his authority, to have violated again the
separation of powers. but m this case that violation led to the commitment of hundreds of billions of dollars in the past, future years. and that is a serious problem. i don't see how the a.c.a. can survive without this system, at least in the form it was originally designed to have. does that mean it will collapse? it would collapse unless congress would be willing to make massive changes and massive subsidies to back those up. >> the panel found the president spent billions in taxpayer dollars he had no authority to spend, subjected millions of employers and individuals to mandates he had no authority to impose. game on at the highest level. here we go again. and all indications are they knew all along how much in jeopardy this ruling would be. it's not so much the law that passed. it's the one that kept changing. if it goes back to the original form, can anyone afford obamacare without the subsidies? that will be one of the keys.
the other thing we've got to think about too is when everyone signed up, the 5.4 million people who signed up for obamacare, did they do it the right way? was anyone verified the information they were giving. the g.a.o. wondered that and set up a sting operation. >> the government accountability office made up fake applications, 12 on phone or on-line, 6 in person, all completely false. nothing true: income, counterfeit documentation false. 11 out of 12 of them, of these fake applications got through. they actually got government subsidized health insurance. they got through the verification process and their bogus beneficiaries are still covered. >> that's the extraordinary thing. it begs the question, so this was just a controlled situation where 11 of the 12 failed and the one had a
failed, the one that failed, the one they noted simply because that person did not cough up a social security number. how many people have applied for obamacare and gotten subsidies even though they completely perhaps misrepresented their income or lied about their situation? right now we don't know because right now nobody is looking into it. >> the president doesn't have time because he's flying back and forth raising cash for democrats. >> it's exhausting. >> exactly. but there is a critique that he is not paying enough attention to what's going on in the world, he's not doing the right thing. he's forcing his attention on fund-raising, causing the taxpayers $3 million for a recent trip alone. josh earnest at the white house, press secretary, said he can focus on a couple of things at the same time. >> the president, like most professionals, has the capability to deal with more than one priority at a time, particularly somebody who has the trappings of
the presidency alongside him. he has his own airplane, dedicated phone lines, senior advisors who will be accompanying him every step of the way. >> then he brought up out of the five work days he's spending three of them on funding. >> he's got the phone and the pen. he was in seattle last night and they were talking about cynicism, and the president said i don't really watch much of the news because i generally already know what they're talking about. wait a minute, i don't really watch much of the news because i know what they're already talking about? how many times have we heard the president say i learned about this situation by watching the news. a lot of people are going which way is it, mr. president? >> you can't have it both ways. if he didn't watch the news, he probably doesn't know that tony dungee, although he's not coaching anymore, he's a spofts --
sportscaster -- got himself into controversy when he answered the question, would you have taken michael sam, the defensive player who came out and say, by the way, i am quote, he said, quote, tony dungee did, i wouldn't have taken him not because i don't think michael sam shouldn't have a chance to play. i don't want to deal with all that. he's saying when you have somebody in a locker room that's different it becomes a major story. if you want to look at an example look at tim tebow. tim tebow was bigger than the sport for awhile. >> is there x factor going to take away from what's going on on the field. keep in mind, tony dungee didn't say i wouldn't sign him because he's gay. he said he would be a distraction. there are many players like tim tebow who in the mind
of many coaches thought this guy is going to take away from the team aspect here. listen to this. >> if you are in a professional sports locker room and you happen to be gay, there are people in an nfl locker room or any kind of locker room for a professional sports team, there are people who are going to have a problem with it. if somebody is sitting there in a locker room and they're minding their own business but it is just not something they agree with, they shouldn't be excoriated either. you have the right to feel what you feel so long as you're not trying to inflict any kind of harm figuratively or literally upon another human being. it's that simple. so tony dungee, whether it is from a religious perspective or whether it is just taking his quote verbatim, he happens to be right. >> but he is getting
slammed. he's getting abused in the media. it is a fact that this story is a big deal in the media. michael sam, did he make it a big deal? who knows? did tony dungee make it a big deal? it is a big deal because the media latched on to this earlier on. >> the twitter verse is aflame and they're calling tony dungee every imaginable word and name, but here's the thepg. he has the right to express his opinion. in his have been a distraction? to tony dungee, yes. to other people? maybe not. but they weren't asked. on twitter they're saying he's a hypocrite. michael vick, he completely repackaged himself. >> tonydunjihad -- tony
dunjihad the chance to say no. >> there is no right or wrong answer. we respect your opinion unlike the rest of the media. we'll put your opinion up there. hopefully you'll get on facebook and twitter and we'll read them. coming up straight ahead, a plan to fix the border crisis. instead of giving aid to the illegals' home countries, cut them off. >> a veteran gets trapped inside a v.a. clinic. >> what is your emergency? >> hi. i want to report that i apparently got left in a v.a. facility, medical facility and the alarm has been going -- >> how in the world did that happen? we're going to hear from that vet straight ahead. ♪ ♪ woooo.

welcome back. this week president obama will mote with leaders from central america to address the border crisis. even though u.s. taxpayers are footing the bill for children fleeing those countries, their leaders are still asking for more
money. our next guest says the solution to this crisis is to cut off those countries bit by bit. maryland congressman michael burgess joins us now. good morning, sir. thank you for being with us this morning. >> thanks for having me on. i wouldn't say it's cutting them off. it is billing them for the services we're providing for their citizens. i estimated, i saw a report in the papers, it was $500 per child per day. each child is staying about 34 days in a facility. the round number comes out to about $15,000, and that seemed like a reasonable amount to bill back to the presidents of those countries for taking care of their children. >> congressman, there you are in texas, and the reaction by many upon hearing this will say that's harsh, that's heartless. >> you want to know harsh? harsh is putting an 8-year-old on top of a freight train and sending him across mexico. that's harsh. harsh is taking children to the middle of the rio
grande, leaving them and calling it a high-water rescue which is what a constable told me he had seen there when i was there earlier this month. that's harsh. this is a problem that the president created, in my opinion, two years ago when the president created this special program of adjudication. that lit the fuse. the president may say that wasn't what i really said or wasn't my intention but it is how it was interpreted, how it was marketed by child traffickers on the border. they are using the deferred adjudication of childhood arrivals as a means to tell people if we can get you there, you get a free pass. that is what has created the pressure on the border. the numbers have doubled each year for the past two years. when you go down and ask people on the border when did this change? when did it become different? they will tell you november, december of last year. the administration saw this coming. they knew it was coming. in no way is this an emergency appropriation. in fact, you send more money, you're probably
going to get more problem. >> congressman, why hasn't the president been there? who is secure with the border the way it is? >> no one. our men and women who work for customs patrol, the social workers who work at h.h.s., the people who work for fema who are doing all the jobs we task them for, they're working their hearts out but the fact of the matter is they're being overwhelmed. the process has to include stopping the flow. the president could do that by going to the border and making that statement. >> congressman burgess, thank you for joining us from the lone star state of texas this morning. >> thank you. >> coming up, it's happening all over the country. our next guest thought she had a decent deem under obamacare until she discovered no doctor would take it. this cat may only have eight lives now. how he miraculously survived the massive wildfire in washington state. strong kitty there.

the affordable care act, an h.m.o. that included a family doctor, not too many miles from your home. then when it was time to actually see a doctor, you started getting paper work. what happened to you? >> basically what happened, steve, is i found a wonderful doctor. i did go in to see him for a medical situation in may. i was thrilled. i thought this is great. this is working. and he was a mile and a half from my home. i received then a letter in early july -- july 3 -- stating that they were now removing me from that p.c.p. and will be reassigning me it a new provider. needless to say, i was very upset because i was happy with this doctor. i felt i was established with him. i went in, i filed all the paper work. you reveal a lot of personal information about yourself. i confirmed with humana. they first told me they thought it was an error.
they claimed it was because of patient overload they were no longer accepting any more patients. >> but you weren't a new patient. >> no, i was not a new patient. he said confirm with your doctor. i did and immediately they knew whiefs -- what i was talking about. she double checked and said you've been removed from the system. >> here's a quote from your cancellation letter. we sent you an i.d. card with a primary care physician. however the doctor who was assigned to you is unavailable to accept additional patients. you explained that. that's the deal. now you've got this policy, and who's your doctor? >> my doctor is questionable. i called to ask who i was being reassigned to. i spoke with a series of humana agents. i was on the phone literally for hours. i called j.s.a. medical group, the medical group who basically has a
monopoly in many areas of florida. they are the main provider for p.c.p.'s with humana, the plan i signed up for. i didn't know when i saw this doctor by name that he was part of a corporation and i risked being dropped. they refused to reinstate me. they were very unsympathetic. the agent was actually very cold and wouldn't let me speak to anybody else. i asked can i speak to a supervisor? he said no, i'm it. as far as you get. i called humana back and they called j.s.a. medical group, and she got a different agent. he went on to say -- i thought this was very interesting -- that i could keep my physician if i selected a different health care plan, a more expensive one. she said yes, it would be more expensive. if it's a patient overload, how come i can keep my doctor? i also asked my doctor can i continue to see you if i pay out of pocket? they said yes. we didn't select to lose
you as a patient. but you shouldn't have to do that. >> that is not what you signed up for. what are you going to do? >> no. i have gotten my new humana card. i've been assigned to a clinic. this clinic is basically the equivalent of a low-income free clinic, and i'm sure they can offer some good service, but that's not what i signed up for. i want to keep my physician. and i wouldn't -- this premium is over $400 a month through a silver plan. i didn't think i would end up going to a clinic. >> it's heartbreaking because that's not what you signed up for. you thought you had that doctor down the street and you wound up with the free clinic which is not part of the deal. charlene, thank you very much for telling your story and we hope this all works out for you. >> thank you for having me. i appreciate it. >> too bad. 29 minutes after the top of the hour. coming up, a veteran gets trapped inside a v.a.

ban, landing in tel aviv just moments ago. bloomberg flying on israel's el al airline which doesn't have to follow the ban. bloomberg says that ban simply gives hamas a victory. he urged the f.a.a. to lift the 24-hour ban that ends at noon today and that resulted in part from a rocket that landed about a mile away from that airport. new developments. in the case of a missing marine's pregnant wife in california. newly released court papers reveal that aaron corwin may have been having an affair with her neighbor when she disappeared three weeks ago and the baby might have been his. that neighbor, christopher lee, was reportedly worried that his wife would find out that he got corwin pregnant and would divorce him. the desert sun reporting cops believe corwin was shot. the two were on a hunting trip. lee was recently discharged as a marine. he was arrested on suspicion of possession of

unionizing mandatory everywhere you go, bake it into our civil liberties instead of protecting the ones that are being trampled on by the obama administration. this all happened at net roots nation where all the progressives get together. they were talking about rand paul's effort to sue the n.s.a. and protect our privacy. they were talking about hoisting federal mandatory laws on us to unionize. >> you're not also saying if there is a group of people that want to unionize, they should do it and not get fired; right? you agree with that? >> i do. but i think our economy does better in right to work states, period. >> the facts so far back you up. about half the states are right to work states now. pete snider, good job. thanks. up next, isis terrorists giving christians an ultimatum. convert to islam. leave or die. father jonathan here live with a message straight from the pope.

to follow the situation and help christians in iraq, mostly in mosul you just mentioned because it's really tragic plight what we are going through. >> no kidding. father jonathan, over the weekend on "fox & friends," you talked about this story. a lot of people hadn't heard about it, that if you're christian in iraq, you either got to pay a fine, get killed, or convert. and where is the outrage? >> it's incredible what's going on. they're going to the houses and putting an end, standing for nazarene, saying if you're here, you better get out because you're going to be killed. you have all of these christians, catholics and other christians who are leaving with nothing. they're ripping up the deeds of your house, they're taking any family jewels or anything you have on you, leaving you with
nothing, saying you have nothing to do in a place where christians have been for 1700 years. and the international community right now, it's silent. >> absolutely. >> that's why it's such a blessing to have the him here saying he was here in iraq, in the beginning of july and saw it firsthand. >> yes. i was that weekend of 28, 29, 30 of june when i heard about the exodus of our christians from a town 15 miles southeast of mosul being threatened and told that they will be invaded like mosul was. so they just fled. everyone took what they could and they fled to the neighboring area. >> is your heart full of fear? >> out of fear because they
thought that the army that was on the border between them and mosul would be -- so they will invade their city and will do those atrocities as they did in syria, neighboring syria. >> father jonathan, our president talks about a lot of stuff. we haven't heard him talk about this. >> we haven't. he's been silent. there are people who are suffering tremendously. i'm going to put on my facebook and twitter people who want to help the christians fleeing with nothing and we're going to give an opportunity for them to help practically as well. >> if i may so, we have to pray to wake up our master, the lord jesus, who has been sleeping in the back of the boat as with the apostles who were drowning and they woke him up saying master,
don't care about us? >> that's a nice way to start the day with that message. father, thank you very much. >> thank you. may god bless you. >> god bless you.play david purdue from georgia next feet...splashing. better things than the joint pain and swelling of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. if you're trying to ma, now may be time to ask about xeljanz. xeljz (tofacitinib) is a small pill, not an injection or infusion, for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well. xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. seris, sometimes fatal infections and cancers have happened in patients taking xeljanz. don't start xeljanz if you have any infection, unless ok with your doctor. tears in the stomach or intestines, low bod cell counts and higher liver tes and cholesterol levels have happened. your doctor should perform blood tts before you start and while taking xeljanz,

good morning. today is wednesday, july 23. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. we start with a fox news alert. a major outsider victory in a georgia senate race. david purdue tops long-time republican congressman jack kingston. what this means for the balance of power in washington. purdue joins us live in just minutes. >> then michael bloomberg just flew there and this morning, secretary of state john kerry touched down there. i'm talking about tel aviv. this after the faa had banned all flights to israel from the u.s. we have a live report from the war zone and what that ban could mean to the israeli economy in moments. and here is some advice, if
you're out kayaking, try not to paddle onto the back of a whale. what were those people thinking? we're going to tell you the back story to that and so much more. we got a busy wednesday, hour two starts right now. >> it's time for "fox & friends" a big show coming your way. local politic, big primary win. we're about to talk to that candidate, as well as the latest of what's happening in the ukraine and israel. >> this morning we have a fox news alert. secretary of state john kerry touching down in tel aviv as the faa bans all flights to israel from the united states. john huddy is live in israel, along the gaza border with the very latest. good morning, john. >> reporter: good morning. along with the ban on flights, that continues.
there has been a lot of rocket attacks on israel. we saw some of those rocket launches earlier today as we were driving to a location. also coming out of gaza, speaking of rockets, i found this in the open area where we are. this is the back of a rocket that was fired at israel. we found it on the ground here. this is the artillery -- as the firing continues. this is where all the smoke is that, is east gaza. there has been an intense, fierce fighting over the course of the last six days. really the 16 days we saw this started. but particularly since the ground offensive started. east gaza now artillery fire is being fired. there is a section of east gaza. went in that area a couple days ago. israeli officials say it's been hamas stronghold, and in particular there is a hospital there. saw that hospital. it's getting targeted now. it's been evacuated. but military officials here in israel say that it's been used
as not only for rocket storage and launches, but antitank missiles have been coming out of there. fired at ground troops. by the way, overnight, two more israeli soldiers were killed in the fighting, bringing that total to 29. i want to show you something as well. if you can come back to me live here, there are troops on the ground in the distance. it looks like there is some kind of vehicle searching for tunnels at this point. that's been the primary objective throughout this ground offensive is to find hamas' extensive network of tunnels. some of which have stretched well into israel in this area here. so right now troops are on the ground looking for those tunnels. let's talk about diplomatic efforts. u.s. secretary of state john kerry is on the ground in israel. he's meeting with u.n. secretary general and later netanyahu. kerry released a statement saying some progress, quote, unquote, has been made, talking about the cease fire efforts,
though no details and there wasn't any elaboration about what kind of progress they're talking about. so at this point, again, that faa ban remains in effect and in the distance, the fighting in east gaza and gaza continues to rage on. back to you. >> john huddy live in gaza, thank you very much. it's an faa ban. it does not apply to israel's state airline el al. that is why mayor bloomberg, former of new york city, flew over there to show it's safe. fox news alert now, the runoff election for the republican senate nomination. david per do you narrowly defeating jack kingston. what does that mean for the general election because it could decide the balance of power in the senate. >> let's talk to him right now. he joins us live from georgia. congratulations, sir. >> thank you, good morning. >> how did you do it? >> well, i think our message resonated around the state that
the debt, the jobs and the economy right now are the critical issues around the state. we talked about alternatives to that. my opponent served this state very well for three decades and now we're going to be shoulder to shoulder to take our policies out to the voters of georgia this fall. >> the question out there, too, we saw in the last presidential election mitt romney getting hammered for being a successful businessman. do we see your opponent getting ready to use those arguments against your success. how are we going to see that? >> we've seen that this spring in the primary. my mom and dad were school teachers. we were raised in middle georgia and we worked on a farm. i've been blessed in my career. but the people of georgia want to talk about the critical issues of how to get this economy going and break gridlock in washington. >> so far we understand your opponent on the democratic side, of course, daughter of sam nun has got $9 million in the bank.
last month in a head to head x
that's what we plan to do this fall. republican party needs to take the senate back and take this debate forward to get an alternative on the table to replace and repeal obamacare. >> we'll see how that goes. senator chambliss did not vote for it. now, when you look at michelle opponent, she ran the points of life foundation for george bush, sam nun is somebody that's been a friend to many republicans. do you feel as though you have to position yourself as if you're running against something that's almost extinct, and that's a conservative democrat?
>> not at all. people in the state are very clear, this is 2014. we've got a crisis on our hands. the people of georgia know that and they want something done about it. that's why i'm sitting here. i was the outsider in the republican primary. now you're going to have two outside voices in michelle nun and myself. we'll be able to talk about the failed policies of this administration and talk about smaller government, lower taxes, and how to get this economy going again. that's what people of georgia want to talk about and we'll be able to do that this fall. >> jack kingston did call you last night, did he not? >> he did. yes. he was very gracious. we've been tough competitors in this runoff. but we've agreed to one thing. that is, look, we're going to be shoulder to shoulder to present the republican values of economic opportunity, fiscal responsibility and limited government to the voters of georgia this fall. we're very confident when they see that alternative, they'll respond positively. >> he beat three sitting congress people to get this
nomination. a very happy man. congratulations and the hard work is straight ahead. thanks so much. >> thank you guys. >> next up, first tuesday in november. >> that's right. our next up is heather nauert is here with some headlines. >> good morning. i've got news from overseas.

courthouse, being out by our work crews and we didn't want there to be any guessing about whether it's an inmate of the saginaw county jail, so we changed the uniforms. >> what's been the reaction from the inmates? >> the reaction of the inmates, they don't like it. i had a few inmates tell me it makes them look like criminals. i said well, actually -- >> you don't want to label them. >> that's funny. >> well, i'm not trying to demean them. it's to identify them to provide good safety and security for the citizens. >> in the big picture, do you worry that prison will begin to look kind of cool? >> well, sometimes i worry about that. i know that there are individuals in certain cultural crazes go on where people wear the orange as a badge of honor and as you know, life sometimes imitates art and this is an instance that i don't like it and so again, we moved in that direction from a security standpoint. it was also a cost saving standpoint. >> what's your message to anyone who doesn't want to wear the
stripes? >> well, if you don't like the clothing i provide, don't come back. it's when they complain about the food or clothes, don't commit crimes and you won't have to wear black and white horizontal stripes. it's an easy thing to do. it's a choice. we're not trying to demean the prisoners, but we must identify them for our citizens. so if you don't want to wear it, don't come in. >> in other words, don't break the law. don't go to jail. >> don't break the law. exactly. simple message. >> all right. sheriff, thank you very much for joining us today. >> you're welcome. >> thank you. >> they feel it makes them look like convicts. >> boo hoo. >> all right. coming up straight ahead, one state blowing the whistle on full contact football in high school. is this the woosification of america or the right thing to do? and lights out at brooklyn bridge as american flags are white washed or bleached and authorities have no clue who did it. how in the world does this

joining us now is life long new yorker and fox news legal analyst, peter johnson, jr. >> good morning, steve. this is a controversy that's consuming new york and the streets of new york at this time. f.b.i. is involved. the staten island district attorney is involved and even spike lee has gotten involved, noted film maker. he said on a tweet, the gentle giant watched the video, what he did is take a piece his movie "do the right thing" and confuse it with a video that was at the scene where mr. gardner was arrested and his subsequent unconsciousness and brought them together in an inflammatory way. >> what do we know happened for sure? that's an image from the cell phone. >> we know mr. gardner was allegedly selling what's called lucys, cigarettes, untaxed cigarettes at 75 cents apiece. allegedly he had broken up a fight on the street previous to that. police came on the scene. they decided to arrest him.
the video apparently shows that he resisted arrest and one police officer, along with other police officers, uniformed and nonuniformed, came up behind him. i'll show you exactly what he did. we'll talk about what the controversy is. the allegation is that he performed a choke hold with his hand behind him in an attempt to bring him down. >> you can't have the arm right there. >> a choke hold is something that will crush the wind wipe and can cause you to die. the issue, is it a choke hold? the second issue, which is illegal under new york police department patrol regulations, did the choke hold cause his death? >> 'cause he did die later. >> he did die. an autopsy is going on now. as i said, the d.a. and staten island is looking at it, the f.b.i. has gotten involved. even al sharpton has gotten involved with the national action network, calling for robust investigations, arrests
and indictment of the police officer who was involved in this incident. so it's caused a fire storm in new york city. we've had similar incidents in the past involving the use of the choke hold which as i said is prohibited by the nypd. it's all going to come down to the medical examiner's report because they will determine did the choke hold cause the death or was there some inherent instability in mr. garner's medical history? did he have an arrhythmia? did he have a heartbeat that beat too fast? did he have asthma or some other condition? we know he had asthma. there is also an issue with regard to the conduct of the emergency medical technicians and paramedics on the scene who, according to one report, did nothing for six or seven minutes, except feel the carotid artery to see if there was a pulse and he was breathing. a lot of questions. i'm sure it will go on for a long, long time in new york city and there will be a lot of controversy of the race card has
already been played on this issue. >> it has been. >> although there is no proof at this point of any racial discrimination. >> i think your advice is good. we wait for the medical examiner, and then we'll see what happened. >> thank you very much. >> be well. coming up, a mom uses her iphone to track her teenage daughter's every move. is that normal or is that nuts? dr. keith ablow is in charge of that department. he joins us. first on this date in 1980, "it's still rock'n'roll to me" by billy joel was the number one song in america. i think before he wrote "uptown girl." ♪ ♪ !hs. they're irresistabowl... completely unbelievabowl... totally delectabowl. real silky smooth or creamy broths. everything she's been waiting for. carefully crafted with real seafood, real veggies,

first one says, i have a divorced friend who won't go to certain restaurants he frequented with his ex in order to keep his memory tarnished. she has remarried and moved on. >> is that normal or nuts? >> sad but normal. here is the thing, complicated grief reaction, yes. but listen, he loved this woman. maybe he still loves her. he's raw. this is more of a love story than it is a story of pathology. does he need some therapy? sure, maybe he does. does he need a new girlfriend? probably. but i'm not going to call him out. >> what if they live in a town where there is only one restaurant? suddenly your choices for takeout is limbed. >> i hop. >> that would be a problem, i agree. then there is the next town over and he's likely to meet somebody very kind. >> number two, whenever i witness someone being injured, either in person or on tv, i often experience a slightly
painful sensation in the center of my chest or tingling up my arm. is this normal or nuts? >> it's better than normal. that's not nuts. normal. but super normal. it's great. what are you describing here? you're describing human empathy. this person feels for other people. instead of calling it pathological, why not call it a gift, see if you can develop it. maybe you're very connected to people. >> our final query of you is my sister tracks her 14-year-old daughter and her friends anywhere the teen-agers go with an iphone tracker. normal or nuts? >> i knew we'd get one. nuts! that's crazy. >> what if she's worried about the safety of her kid? >> here is the delusion involved. you can't tell whether your daughter is safe by her location. secondly, instill trust in her. don't try to track her. that's no answer. or you could say this, hey, where were you this afternoon?
i was at the supermarket. no you want. you were at the high school. >> exactly. >> then you know you can trust that person. >> there you go. cross-examining is a good way to raise your kid. no, i'm kidding. >> dr. keith ablow, two in a row. if you've got questions for dr. keith, e-mail them to us. >> who knows what tomorrow holds. fox news alert. moments ago, two fighter jets were shot down in ukraine. a live report from the ground straight ahead. and a veteran gets trapped inside a v.a. clinic. how in the world does this happen? >> 911, what's your emergency? >> hi, i want to report that i apparently got left in a v.a. facility, medical facility, and the alarm has been going off. ♪ ♪ big meeting.

good morning. it's wednesday, july 23. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. we begin with a fox news alert. while you were sleeping, a major victory in the georgia senate race, outsider david purdue tops long-time congressman. hear from the candidate and his first interview since getting the win. they stumbled across the border illegally. now they need your help. >> what's your emergency? >> yes, somebody speak spanish? >> (speaking spanish). >> a small texas town forced to answer 911 calls from stranded illegals in spanish. one of those sheriff's deputies joins us live today. most veterans beg to go get inside the v.a. but this one is begging to get out? >> 911, where is your emergency? n hi. well, i want to report that i apparently got left in a v.a.
facility, medical facility, and the alarm has been going off. >> incredible. veteran locked in the waiting room and the staff went home. mornings are better with friends. >> it's time for "fox & friends" >> well, it was six days ago that the rebels shot that jet liner out of the sky and this morning we've got a fox news alert out of ukraine. moments ago, ukraine's military revealing pro-russian rebels just shot down two of their fighter jets as fighting flared up again in the east. steve harrigan is on the ground with the breaking details from ukraine. all right, tell us the latest. >> reporter: these two f jets went down a few hours ago. they are soviet made fighter jets, single piloted jets from about 1970s used by the
ukrainian government against the rebels. all this is happening not far from the crash site, 40 miles from where i'm standing. it looks like they were shot down with advanced surface to air missiles. that's with it would take to bring down a fighter jet of this nature. so six days after this tragedy when people thought perhaps there would be a pullback, the reverse is happening, going ahead, knocking more jets out of the sky. rebels apparently using similar or the same surface to air missiles to knock down two single piloted government jets not far from this crash site where any hopes of carrying out a careful investigation in a hot war zone is very challenging. steve? >> all right. steve harrigan live in ukraine with the very latest. what we learned in the last one was we've got the technology, the satellite technology to figure out where those particular surface to air missiles were shot off, if they're in rebel areas, this should be easy. doesn't look like the rebels learned their lessons. >> they didn't. they're in a war. we told the russians you better
scale back and called for a cease fire. told them to stop doing this, stop supplying the russians. we're not supplying the ukrainians, those russian separatists who are basically russians. what do they do? shoot down two more planes. so want the threat of an embargo or the sanctions from western europe? i don't even think so. you think vladimir putin is shaking? obviously not or else that wouldn't have taken place. france yesterday not only did not offer sanction, they off the record to continue their sale of warships to the russians. european foreign ministers met yesterday and they're looking to speed up the would be sanctions on russia, whatever they determine them to be. does that sound like a scary statement? >> in britain were appalled that the project was continuing in terms of construction there. >> incredible. >> we were also asking yesterday, does the president's word matter when he says cease fire, when he asks potato ton make things more peaceful? is it being heard? today with this happening, it doesn't seem like it's falling
on ears that are listening. >> you know, before they shot the jet liner out of the sky, they had already shot a couple of other military planes. we probably wouldn't even have noticed it, unfortunately, had they not killed all those people on that particular jet liner. now they're just back to the same monkey business they were at seven days ago. >> the new anti-airplane missiles are relatively new. they shot down three cargo planes overall. that shows the russians are giving them more technology instead of telling them to back out. instead, essentially saying we're doubling down. >> putin's rebels, putin's equipment. you be the judge. five minutes after the top of the hour. heather nauert has a whole bunch of other news. let's go to gaza. >> good morning. i've got another story about airplanes. this morning, secretary of state john kerry touching down in tel aviv as the faa bans u.s. airliners from flying into that airport following a rocket attack in a neighborhood that was about a mile away from the
airport. it is a 24-hour ban and expires at noon today. the faa is reevaluating and will announce this morning if they will extend that ban or not. several other countries have also suspended flights to israel because of the escalating violence there in the past two weeks, more than 2,000 rockets have been fired, killing nearly 700 people. could be one of the most watched senate races in the entire united states. in georgia, this david purdue defeated a long time incumbent in a runoff. he will face michelle nun in the general election. it's to replace retiring senator sax bee chambliss. he said this about his strategy early or on "fox & friends." >> you run against harry reid and barak obama and nancy pelosi and the failed policies of the last six years. people in this state are very upset about the performance in washington right now. that's exactly what we're going to do. this candidate, michelle nun, i have a lot of respect for her, for her work and her family.
but she's going to have to defend the failed policies of the last six years. >> republicans holding that seat will be key to getting six more seats. they need that in order to control the senate in november. a warning out before you eat breakfast. popular summer fruit is apparently contaminated with listeria. it's now being recalled as a result. merona packaging company sells fruit. they're being pulled from shelves across the country. they've been sold at stores including costco, trader joe's and wal-mart and kroger. no reports of anyone getting sick so far. this story is unbelievable. it's really going to leave you shaking your head. listen to a 911 call made after a veteran realized that he was all alone and he was locked inside a v.a. clinic in florida. >> 911, where is your emergency? >> i apparently got left in a
v.a. facility, medical facility and the alarm has been going off. >> jeffrey duck said he went to see his doctor for a prescription refill for his pain medication. he ended up waiting three hours. he then figured out he was the only person inside the building, so he whipped out his cell phone and recorded the video walking around the lobby. look at this. >> here i am inside the v.a. and everybody has gone home. >> can you imagine? the v.a. has since issued an apology. duck saying he's not angry. just disappointed. >> if they can't keep that straight, then how are they going to keep the more important things straight? it's just an indication that there is still a lot more for them to do. >> the v.a. says it's working to make changes and make sure this does not happen again. he walked in about 1:00 o'clock. three hours later, they locked the doors. so 4:00 o'clock, nobody is around.
not quite sure why. >> that guy is going to be on our show tomorrow. we promise not to keep him waiting. >> we won't lock him in either. >> and we will not leave him alone. >> thank you very much. let's talk about the big fox news alert from yesterday. the dc circuit court of appeals, the number court in this land said the obamacare subsidy attention being used in 36 states through the federal exchanges are illegal because the way the law was crafted by democrats and only democrats, it said you can only get the subsidy money through an exchange established by the state. 36 states didn't sign up, so they won't on the federal exchanges, which were invented by the federal government. that court says that's illegal. however, there was another, the 4th circuit, almost simultaneously, they came out and said we don't have a problem with it. that was probably heading for the supreme court. >> that's exactly what the forecast is looking like, it will travel up there. the government says they're going to continue to pay out
those subsidies until that final ruling comes through. >> of course. >> so here is jonathan turley on are we are right now. >> it will be a bloody mess. the problem is that the president was found by the dc circuit to have exceeded his authority, to have violated again the separation of powers. but in this case, their violation led to the commitment of hundreds of billions of dollars in the past and future years and that is a serious problem. i don't see how the aca can survive without this system, at least in the form it was originally designed to have. does that mean it will collapse? it would collapse unless congress would be willing to make massive changes and massive subsidies to back those up. >> the first ruling says the taxpayer dollars, the president had no authority to spend them. he has no authority to subject millions of employers, individuals to taxes, that he had no authority to impose.
game on, supreme court. so now they're going to take these two cases and come up with an overall ruling. again, we'll have the drama at the supreme court that could have this bill live or die. >> when you have a constitutional lawyer say what he just said, this could be just the end of it entirely. he had eyebrows raised across the nation. >> sure, because he has been talk being how this administration has done all this executive overreach. in this case, the democrats in congress passed one thing, but then the administration through the irs, interpreted it another way. now at least one court says not illegal. there's a real good possibility before it gets to the supreme court the administration could actually ask for a review by the entire dc circuit, which this administration has done their best to pack with left-leaning judges. >> 544 million people, especially listening very
closely to this talking point we're going through 'cause they've signed up for obamacare. 87% of them receiving subsidies to have their insurance. so they're going to get paid for in some way, shape or form. the gao thought, i have an idea. let's just make sure this thing is on the up and up. so let's run a sting operation with 18 people. >> yeah. so 18 people, sole applications were created here. 12 of them applied on line and by telephone. six started looking for in person help. they had all false information, documentation was bogus. guess what? 11 out of the 12 of those false applications for subsidies went through. and their sole beneficiaries are still receiving the subsidies. >> people that don't exist. >> people that do not exist on information that was false. 11 out of 12 is what they found in the sting. >> so that was in the sting. how many people in real life are getting subsidies paid for by all of us through the generosity of the federal government?
how many of those people simply are not entitled to them but are going to take them because is anybody really looking out for our cash? doesn't look like it. >> 12 minutes after the hour. here is what's straight ahead. they crossed the border illegally. now they need your help. >> 911, where's your emergency? >> yes. somebody speak spanish? >> speaking spanish). >> wow. one of the sheriff's deputies from the small texas town that's being forced to answer those type calls from people who don't belong there. >> and you never know what's lurking under your kayak. it could be a whale. take a look at this. >> bad place to park. ♪ ♪

small town 270 miles south of houston, illegal immigrant are learning the hard way there is a deadly cost to crossing the border. listen. >> 911, what's your emergency? >> somebody speak spanish? >> (speaking spanish).
>> wow. just one example of the 911 calls bombarding the brooks county police department. not only are they understaffed and lack resources, now they've got to deal with illegal immigrants who have no business being here. martinez is the county chief deputy. chief deputy of brooks county. we appreciate you joining us, sheriff. first off, when you're hearing that call, how unique are calls like that to you? >> those calls are -- they have a crisis. we need to respond to them. those are pretty regular calls on a daily basis. >> so those calls, you have to respond to, even though for the most part when you get there, you realize they're not even american citizens?
>> that's correct. but they're on u.s. soil and due process comes into play and that's the way we're taking them as. >> you have 129 a couple years ago. you're heading this year on average, if it continues, with another 87 who have lost their lives by the time you get to them. they're dead. so far you've recovered 43 corpses. to date. here is another example of the 911 call that came in to your people. >> 91 s state your emergency. >> hello? >> (speaking spanish) >> sheriff, they're coming across the borrowedder and haven't had anything to drink in
three days. what do you do? >> well, basically what you try to do when the call comes in, it's not as easy as one, two, three step procedure. all you do is kind of get an idea to where they might be at. our brush area is vast. it's thick. vegetation is good. it's difficult. we can just maybe get within 500-meters of that particular call. >> so sheriff, the thing is, a lot of these men and women sneaking across the border illegally coming here are going off the main paths and that's how they're being led by their so-called escorts, coyotes, because they don't want to get caught. there is also no people around to help them, which makes things twice as hard for you when you have to get there quickly. >> absolutely. this is why we also realize the local border patrol office that we work closely is, as a result of the border not being secure,
developed on our frontan crisis step. >> deputy, real quick, you chronicle harrows situations where you have hundreds of these tapes. what do you want the message to be to washington and everybody else watching? >> they need to have a sincere dialogue. forget about the republican or democrat side. sit down and have a sincere dialogue where we can actually resolve this issue. it has to be resolved. as long as they keep stalling it, this is going to continue. it's going to continue to where our funds are going to be depleted. >> thank you so much. >> thank you. coming up straight ahead, we change gears. food stamps paid for by taxpayers going up in smoke. welfare being used for pot and it's perfectly legal? we'll examine. atheists aren't giving up the fight to get rid of the steel beam from the world trade

court papers reveal aaron corwin may have been having an affair with her married neighbor when she disappeared three weeks ago. and the baby could have been his. cops believe she was shot while the two were on a hunting trip. that's the news. it was a symbol of hope on america's darkest day. two intersecting steel beams in the shape of a cross found in the rubble of the world trade center. rescue workers use it to pray. but atheists say there is no way this cross should be allowed inside the 9-11 museum. my next guest has promised a fight the latest lawsuit. thanks for being with us this morning. american atheist group had this to say. christianity deserves no special treatment just because it demands it or because the world trade center was made from cross beams. they're looking to get that
cross out of this memorial. do they have a case? >> not at all. as you mentioned, the cross is not in the museum as a station of worship. it's not there to honor christians. it's will as part of the story of ground zero. it's displayed in a section of the museum dealing with how rescue workers dealt with the tragedy of 9-11. it's a story of how americans turned to god, family, country, community to find hope, to find inspiration and to overcome this horrible tragedy. and just because some people were inspired by god doesn't mean we have to hang up a plaque that says atheists died here, too, which is what they're asking for from the courts. >> eric, i have a question here. so the american atheists are making strong allegations here that just reading newspaper articles about the display of this cross caused them stress, headaches, and indigestion. some would make the argument that that pales in comparison to all that was suffered and lost that day by 9-11 families and
first responders. why in the world would they have a right to take away a symbol of hope that exists there today? >> that's right. the constitution is not your mother. it's not there to make sure that every boo boo you experience in the real world gets kissed better. and even your mother sometimes says okay. so you bumped into a cross, into the museum. stop crying, brush yourself off. move on to the next exhibit. this is not a constitutional crisis. and it trivializes the sacrifices that thousands of people made over this issue. >> should those that have already suffered and lost so much be faced with this challenge here? angst that it's causing to the families of 9-11 perhaps and those first responders would also be a case, no? >> that's what we are trying to tell the court, thatu:hñp4 loos case never should have been brought in the first place. the museum spent three years fighting this. not every community, not every organization that has some
mention of god or some mention of religion can afford to pay for that kind of a fight. the court should be clearing these kind of cases up. this is a playground fight. we live if a pluralistic society. the court should be saying, look, learn to work this out, respect each other's differences. and really be respectful of those people who died in 9-11 and the many rescue workers and others who paid a great sacrifice in an effort to -- in the course of the recovery effort in 9-11. >> sure. many of those, if not all, say it's a symbol of their hope. the atheists filed their brief and we're waiting for the court to respond. thank you for being with us this morning. >> thank you. coming up, terrorists in iraq giving christians three option. convert, pay up or die. why aren't you hearing about this? we're going to tell you. then white flags replace american flags overt brooklyn bridge and still no one knows why or who did it.

>> right. and our son is looking to do that and it's very scary, very. >> yeah. greg, your older son, keegan, is in the marines. he's been there for a while. what are you worried about regarding him? >> well, both of our boys are really looking forward to make the military their life, their career. both of them actually forewent college. we have a strong military history in our family. our younger boy, cameron, he's looking to make a career in the mp ranks and like to get into the officer ranks. when you start to see these things happening where officers with ten, 12 years getting their hispanic slips, it's disheartening for him and for me as a father. >> sure. and as well, greg, just the fact that your son, who is a marine proudly serving his nation, he's looking to the future, but
currently, what is he, at the poverty line now or below the poverty line? >> well, he, like a lot of them, when you're in the lower ranks of the military, the e.-1 through e.-4 and 5, all those troops are below the poverty line. i don't think a lot of people in this country understand that. >> yeah. >> that's a sacrifice. >> absolutely is. so vicky, as your youngest, cameron, is thinking about the military, he's now pledged to become part of our military, are you thinking in your heart, maybe this isn't such a good idea. maybe he should think about something else? >> yes, i am. up until this show right now, he didn't know that. we support him 100%, but it's very scary. i mean, you have people getting pink slips that are still in combat and i saw an interview of a military wife worried about where they're going to live because they had planned on
making this their career, their life. here is my son wanting to do that and is like, women. is this how we repay our military? no. we need to take care of them. >> and our vets, steve. one of the things that really upsets us is what's happening with the vets and the veterans administration. when you see secret lists, lies, mail being shredded and people getting bonuses, bonus pay, gift cards, incentive pay and my son who is 17 joins the united states regular army, you know what he got? he was given a t-shirt and a water bottle. some things in this country are pretty upside down right now. you wonder where our priorities are sometimes. >> exactly. >> vicky and greg and greg, a proud u.s. military vet, we thank you very much for joining us today from harrisburg. good luck to cameron, who has got a big baseball project this summer trying to raise money for the wounded warrior project. thank you both.
>> steve, if i could, if your viewers could check out his web site, charity softball game.com. a lot of information on that regarding the wounded warrior project that my son put together. >> you're a good father, getting a plug in for your boy. >> i appreciate that. >> thank you. straight ahead, rent a house and refuse to leave? thanks to government regulations, you might have the right. that's coming up next. right now let's check in with martha mccallum who is joining us today with a show at 9:00 o'clock eastern. >> good morning. turns out lois lerner's hard drive was crashed, but not erased. what is really going on here? the cat and mouse game may be just about over for the irs. a new study says it's fairly easy to get obamacare subsidies, even if you don't exist. we'll tell you about that and new information about the american flags that were mysteriously replaced with plain white ones on the brooklyn

thanks to our local and national leaders, we've got more than 100 million pages of rules and regulations on the books. and it's not always a good thing. >> time for an example of a case out in california where a guest rented and home and now refuses to leave. they say they have the legal right as squatters. >> joining us is legal expert and author of the rule of nobody, philip howard. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> the rule of nobody, what does that mean? >> it means is we've replaced authority with lots of millions and millions of words. so no one has authority to
balance the budget. nobody has the authority to pull pull -- the teacher doesn't have the authority to run a classroom. >> how bad is it now? you talk about laws being laws and there is no end to these laws. >> yes. it's like a progressive disease. over the last 50 years mainly, detailed regulations and lawsuits, piling up like sediment. now people can't do anything, talk to any mayor, any governor, all these mandates prevent them from making sense of their daily chores. >> they're preventing people from doing their job and enticing people to take advantage of those words and pages of this law, to go after someone for a lot of money. how do we simplify the laws? we see this, doesn't seem like an easy solution. >> it's actually easy conceptually, but we have to change our public debate from arguing about policy to arguing about putting humans back in charge again and having a big clean-up program. >> where do you start? do you start up top or small
towns? in counties and states? >> you can start at any level. school bureaucracy, for example, is a complete nightmare. you can start there. but ultimately federal law which kind of drives the train here. federal law needs to be recodified. you need to go area by area and radically simplify it so people can understand it, number one. and secondly, that it gives people flexibility to actually make sense of daily choices. law is not supposed to replace freedom. it's supposed to be a framework for freedom. >> let's hope congress is listening because they are responsible for a lot of laws that have gummed up the works and now they have the responsibility, you say, to change it. >> they do. but they don't have the idea. it's going to require movement, an outside movement. >> the name of the book is requesting "the rule of nobody."

you're saying kids just want to have fun. >> i think that's good. cindy lauper is a great philosopher. >> turns out girls do just like to have fun. >> thanks very much for joining us today. see you back here tomorrow. >> breaking news. test test test test >> that is the same area where nay have been blocked and good morning. i am bill hemmer and welcome back martha. >> good to be back. i am martha maccallum. there is no word on
do you think they have a case. log on to the show, use the #keeptalking. >> "fox & friends" starts right now. >> bye. good morning. it is thursday, july 31, 2014. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. the house gets the green light to sue the president for making his own laws, but the president just laughed it off. >> stop being mad all the time. stop just hating all the time. >> and today he plans another executive action. surprise. >> and we now have the lois lerner e-mail she wishes got lost as well, and they reveal why she may have been targeting conservatives. because she thinks republicans are [bleep] and [bleep]. we're going to tell you what she was typing straight ahead. >> the video that just will make you happy.
>> good boy. >> there's more to this. another happy homecoming. a soldier and his dog join us live this hour. mornings are better with friends. >> and squeeze and squeeze. it's richard simmons. the best exercise for your mind is "fox & friends." >> he's our most bedazzled guest. he's pretty fit. >> usually fit people are pretty defined. >> he's helped millions of people lose a lot of weight and he's a friend of this program. thank you for joining us on this thursday. we've got a busy day. how many times have you heard the president of the united states say these republicans are trying to stop me from doing my job. if they don't like me, sue me. good news, mr. president, you're getting your wish. the house authorized
suing -- suing of the president. >> that's right. they aren't the only ones though. the president says, look, just stop being so mad about this. it's not a big deal. i'm just going to sign another executive action today any way. this is him talking to a group in minnesota. >> think about this. they have announced that they're going to sue me for taking executive actions to help people. so, you know, they're mad because i'm doing my job. everybody right now -- it's a political stunt but it's worse than that because every vote they're taking like that means a vote they're not taking to actually help people. we could do so much more if congress would just come on and help out a little bit. just come on [applause] >> come on and help out a little bit. stop being mad all the
time. top just hating all the time. come on. let's get some work done together. [applause] >> an interesting view. if you do what the president wants you to do, you're helping people. if you don't, you're hurting the country. that's a good way to view all sides. the vote was 225-201. every democrat vote against it. all but five republicans vote for it. it is a way of calling out the president saying are you going to continue to do this because i'm pretty sure it's unconstitutional. so let the courts decide. as far as charles krauthammer says, he says the president has got the idea of his job description all wrong. >> the president's job is not as a president to help people, in his interpretation of what he does, it is to faithfully execute the laws congress has passed. that is as clear as day. that is the definition of his job. and there's a very strong argument that he has overreached that by actually creating law, ignoring law, not enforcing
law, changing laws on his own, which we're simply not supposed to do and there are many examples of it. >> the affordable care act, also cap and trade under scrutiny there for overreach. the overreach was decided by the supreme court. this isn't just republicans. there was a unanimous vote by the supreme court that recess appointments were unconstitutional. so charles krauthammer saying he may have his description wrong. it is not the only one who thinks that way. >> keep in mind while republicans say there are many things we could sue the president over, they focused it simply on one aspect of the affordable care act. remember they passed, the congress passed it. the president has been very selective in how he's implemented it. in particular, what they're doing is suing over the employer mandate. what he did essentially was the white house gave employers a one-year reprieve delayed until after the elections, plus employers who have between 50 and 99 employees didn't have to comply until 2016. the big question is whether or not the courts will say,
well, congress, you've got standing in the case. but it was as recent as in june the supreme court said when a law is unambiguous -- in other words, when it is clear what the law refers to -- the president cannot rewrite it to suit his own preferences. if a law has defects, then congress -- not the president -- has to fix it. >> the employer mandate is an interesting place to sue because a lot of people feel that will never go into place, including robert gibbs. says everybody knows that part of the affordable care act will never get off the ground because it is going to be too unpopular and hurt the bill. meanwhile, lois lerner, she doesn't know much about computers, not very good at math. and she had her computer crash. but we do know some of the content of the e-mails that have gotten out yesterday, and, man, if this is the stuff she didn't want out, i hate to see what she did
want out. >> of the lost e-mails, wrote d.o.j. saying this deserves someone to spearhead this investigation criminally, which all three charges together could result in 11 years in prison for lois lerner if found guilty. >> she is on retirement. how can she go to prison? >> which we're still paying for. these e-mails here clearly indicate perhaps more than a smid john of corruption and attack on conservatives when you see what is written here. this is one. this is while targeting was going on in november of 2012. this is from unknown. you should hear what the whacko wing of the g.o.p. the u.s. is through, too many foreigners sucking the teat. time to hunker down buy ammo and food and prepare for the end. the right wing radio shows are scary to listen to. >> she responded with this. >> great. maybe we are through if there are that many a-holes. >> also from unknown and
i'm talking about the host of radio shows. the callers are rabid. from learner: we don't need to know about alien terrorists. it is our own crazies that will take us down. no wonder she didn't like tea party nonprofits, because they're run by terrorists. this is pretty damning stuff. i think the lesson here is for you people watching now, if you are going to scratch your hard drive, make sure you scratch it to the point where stuff like this is not released because it makes it look pretty bad. >> what did the president have to say in terms of reaction to this? remember when he sat down with bliley -- bill o'reilly and bill asked him anything going on funny there? >> not even mass corruption? >> not even a smidgen of corruption. >> these e-mails seem to prove otherwise. >> she has an agenda and a lot of power. we need to find out how much power she had.
it's time for a special prosecutor. doesn't look like it's going to happen because the d.o.j. is too busy talking about sex discrimination within the fitness test of the pennsylvania cops. that is where their focus is. >> that gives you a peek into the mind of a woman who is accused by republicans of using the i.r.s. as a weapon against other americans. just one other thing. some of the other e-mails showed that she was writing to an i.t. specialist at the i.r.s. and said i've got a virus on my home computer and eventually she said it could have been because my password was too simple. you would think that somebody who was in that business would have a more complicated password than password 123, but a lot of people do. i'm not say that's it. >> heather, what's your password? >> i'll tell you later. a lot going on in washington this morning and a lot elsewhere around the country. i want to bring you a story out of minnesota. a nine hour manhunt and a gunman accused of shooting
and killing a police officer during a traffic stop was later shot himself. this unfolding in west saint paul, minnesota. officer scott patrick was shot in broad daylight. thatofficer leaves behind a wife and two teenage children. the search for the suspect, 39-year-old brian fitch ended in a gunfire with cops. fitch was shot. his condition not released at this hour. tragedy hitting the iewft of louisville. -- hitting the university of louisville. a cheerleader was found dead in her apartment, one of the top athletes on the cheerleading squad. >> i think when you're not only this young, but so athletic and beautiful, i think it is the last thing you expect. >> police are looking into whether or not drugs may have been involved in her death. now to the crisis along the border, fox news exclusively obtained a new report by the texas department of public safety and this revealed a
disturbing trend of attacks against our border agents by gangs and drug traffickers, including shootings of federal agents. today in washington, the house will vote on a $659 million immigration bill and that would send resources to the border and speed up the return of illegal immigrants to their home countries. after that vote, republicans will move to vote on another bill, and that one would be to block president obama from expanding existing programs that protect illegals who have grown up in the united states. we will watch that story throughout the day. retiring yankee derek jeter is getting a presidential sendoff in texas. george w. bush honoring the captain in arlington by surprising him with a special presentation on the field. president bush giving jeter a signed photo that was taken the night that bush threw out the first pitch after the 9/11 attack. many of you probably recall what a big deal that was in our country at the time. the president recalling jeter's advice to him back then saying, quote, don't
bounce it. they'll boo you. and those are your headlines. over the weekend we got a chance to see derek jeter at yankee stadium, fox fan day. >> a day to remember. speaking of days, today is thursday and it's #tb sp -- #tbt. there i was a summer camp counselor. look at that hair do. i had the bieber thing going before bieber. >> look at this. >> i kind of did this during the summer. that was through all sports radio. my most impactful job was my deep dish restaurant, my pie where i had to clear the tables and do the dishes in the same time. >> you worked in my pie? >> i worked at maitai
cocktail place. >> a lot of those summer jobs are so bad, you don't want to remember. >> we would love see your best and worst summer job photos. send them our way and we'll show them. >> coming up on the program, breaking news about the ebola virus. one man is dead and no peace corps workers are being pulled out of africa. what's going on? can the virus spread here? is it just one airplane ride away from the united states? dr. marc siegel is with us next. >> imagine driving down the highway and this comes flying at you. yes, that's an ax. how it come inches from the passenger's face. ♪ for over a decade,

♪searching with devotion ♪for a snack that isn't lame ♪but this... ♪takes my breath away it is the deadliest outbreak of the ebola virus in history and it is spreading. the c.d.c. releasing guidelines for airlines to prevent it from reaching the united states. >> nearly 700 people contracted it and died so far in western africa and this morning we've learned liberia, the country of liberia will close schools and quarantine some
communities and peace corps workers are being bowled out of that country. >> one man died from it. he was set to travel home next month. could the ebola virus reach the united states? joining us medical a team's own dr. marc siegel. how concerned should we be? >> i think we need to watch this very closely. there have been several previous ebola outbreaks. each time health officials have squashed them. it may not end up being a problem for us, but i think the chances are that it could reach the united states. we have to be prepared for that idea. >> there was a headline yesterday or the day before, i want to say on drudge, it was is ebola one airplane ride away from the united states? >> i think it is. but that doesn't mean that it's going to take root here. you have to understand, fear is the biggest virus of all and we can't panic over this. even if a case came here --
and people are not going to get it by casual contact on a plane. you have to get it by direct contact with discretions, with diarrhea, with sweating. you can't get it by coughing or sneezing. that's why we've been able to squash these outbreaks in the past. even if it came here, the chances are the c.d.c. would be able to isolate the people that had it and it wouldn't spread. most likely. >> the victim, the 40-year-old gentleman, he was set to fly to minnesota. if he indeed did get here and if that did indeed spread through contamination on seats or in a restroom, what symptoms are displayed with ebola. how would you know you could possibly have this and what should we be looking for? >> that's the problem. initially ebola is flu-like symptoms. you get muscle aches, high fever, headache. then you get the vomiting and diarrhea. but that's like any virus. the biggest problem with ebola and people need to know this part is that the immune system doesn't
respond to it well so it's hard to fight it off. that is why the death rate is so high. this particular outbreak is closer to 60. in the united states it would probably be lower because we would do more supportive care. here's something else we do in the united states. we did it with hiv-aids. we put doctors in gloves and gowns and masks. that's what prevents spread. the reason physicians and health care workers are getting it over this is they're not fully protected dependence the virus. they're not -- protected against the virus, using the same protection control measures we are do. we need to cover this story and we need people to be informed. by the way, there's four vaccines in the pipeline, several antiviral drugs. they don't have enough money. >> does anyone get better when they have ebola? >> about 40% to 60% get better. but it's hard to get better because of the problems with the immune system. >> tell us about this flesh-eating virus in florida. >> that's much less of a concern than ebola is but
that is a bacteria a lot like cholera and it's in warm sea water and oysters, roy oysters. if you're immunocompromised you can get very, very sick from this. people wading off the coast of florida, it is very hot in florida this time of year, it is only 31 cases and 10 deaths. i don't want to spread panic. the key word is if you see a bug in the news, bacteria or virus, you should be concerned for those people but shouldn't think it will happen to you. >> all right. it's now 20 minutes after the top of the hour. >> she saw a child in a hot car and called the cops. she thought she was doing the right they think until that child's mother ran her over. >> what's behind the story of the soldier and his dog? you'll find out.

he wrote to the administration -- quote -- "what we are experiencing in indiana and states across the nation as this crisis deepens is neither sensible nor humane. states should not be asked by the federal government to deal with the consequences of a failed national immigration policy." the guy who wrote that letter, indiana government mike pence joins us from our nation's capital now. good morning, governor. >> good morning, steve. >> you found out our federal government secretly placed 245 children, illegal minor children in indiana through the press? >> we absolutely did. it was late last week, steve, and after having our administration monitor this issue -- every american is obviously watching the crisis on our southern border with incredible interest and concern. we found out from press accounts that more than 200 undocumented children had
been placed in private placement across the state of indiana. we were only notified by health and human services after that was in, it being publicly reported. i felt it was extremely important on behalf of the people of ip ip and my obligation as -- people of indiana and my obligation as governor to communicate directly to the president and say that is unacceptable. >> absolutely. the administration admitted it after you caught them. awhile back the press secretary for the president, josh earnest, made it very clear the reason they're not telling the governors across the country is because they've got to keep it a secret for the kids. listen. >> there are privacy rights that are included in the law that this administration is committed to enforcing and following. we're going to abide by the privacy rights of particular individuals. >> governor, i'm not going to ask you to comment on the privacy angle. that is simply ludicrous. as the number-one executive in the state of indiana,
they send hundreds of kits to your state. pretty soon it's going to be time for school. i don't know about how much the state, each state, the state of indiana pays per child in your state but in my state, in my school district they're paying $25,000 per kid for high school. you add up thousands in new jersey and hundreds in your state, we're talking about some real money that is going to be liable to be paid by the taxpayers of indiana. >> look, the state of indiana and the people of indiana have a right to know if undocumented, vulnerable children and families are being placed into our communities. we have obligations, as you mentioned. it's about back to school time in indiana but there is also potentially health, other welfare issues that we need to be prepared to deal with. it's completely unacceptable that we read about this in the newspaper. and i expressed that to the president yesterday but also i expressed that directly to secretary burr
well in our meeting yesterday as well. one of the initial responses we got was that h.h.s. would be giving states around the country a monthly update. what i asked for was a real time update for the placement of any of these individuals within our jurisdiction. let me say, indiana has a long tradition of welcoming legal immigrants to our state. and i have great compassion for these vulnerable families and children that have been caught up in this crisis on our southern border. you know, spiriting people around the country and not informing state governments and local officials about their placement or long-term placement with private individuals or with institutions is not the answer. what we ought to be doing is humanely processing these children and families and returning them to their home countries, reuniting them with their families. that's right for them and also it's, frankly, the best way we could send a signal south of our border
that we intend to uphold the laws of this country. >> indiana government mike pence who just wants to know what the federal government is doing in his state. sir, thank you very much a judge allowing people to carry guns for the first time in decades 'cause the old law was unconstitutional. but just two days later, it's illegal again? what happened? we're going to talk about that coming up. and no time to click coupons? you can still save on groceries. our expert here with how to cut your food bill 50%. stick around, you're watching "fox & friends." ♪ ♪

we told you about the landmark decision or the second amendment. a federal judge ruling washington's dc ban on hand guns unconstitutional. cops were order to do immediately stop arresting people for it. but two days later, it's illegal again. what happened? fox news senior judicial analyst judge andrew napolitano here. >> sometimes the law is a little crazy. >> for a couple days it was there. then people got panicky and they stayed the order. >> here is what happened. some retired police officers who wanted to be able to carry guns to protect themselves and others in their retirement years living in dc tried to get the permit to carry the gun. the city said no. nobody can carry guns in d.c they challenged the law. that challenge, along with other cases, was taken away from judges in dc by the chief justice and shipped to upstate new york. there was a back log in d.c a judge in upstate new york last week said the dc thou shalt not
carry, no matter who you are is unconstitutional. it's been unconstitutional for 40 years and this is the first time it's been challenged. so therefore, everyone who lawfully owns a gun in dc can now carry it. the dc government said, we're not ready for this. the cops don't know the law. we haven't had a right to carry law here in dc in the past 45 years. can you stay? can you stop the effect of this until we can adapt to it and give some guidelines to the police for it? the judge said yes, i will stay it until october 1. if you don't appeal me, it becomes the law. if you do appeal me, it's in the hands of the appellate court. >> for another year? >> probably another year before they decide. this is a trend of federal judges deciding that local laws that let you have a gun in your home, but not outside the home are unconstitutional because it denies you the right to protect yourself. >> here is what the judge said after he gave the order.
there is no longer any basis on which this court can conclude that the district of columbia's total ban on the public carrying of ready to use hand guns outside the home is constitutional under any level of scrutiny. >> key phrase, total ban, no matter who you were, no matter what your need for the gun, no matter how well trained you are. these guys are ex cops. total ban. that's what he threw out. dc wants to come up with some middle ground, it will be challenged again. >> we'll see if october 1, we'll see you in the fall when you're not raking leaves. >> you want to come up and help rake? >> that would be fantastic. let me tell you what's up next. a mom let's her 7-year-old son go to the park by himself. now she faces five years behind bars. so who is going to raise her son if this happens? has the law gone too far? that mom here live. and he wrote the book on leadership. rudy guiliani is here and he says the president is showing that he's not fit to lead. he'll expand on that.

good morning. today is thursday, july 31. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. the house gets the green light to sue the president for making his own laws. but the president just laughed it off. >> stop being mad all the time. stop the hating all the time. >> today he plans yet another executive action. a man who ran for president, mayor rudy guiliani, is going to weigh in on that straight ahead. yes, and we now have the lois lerner e-mails she wishes got lost. and they reveal why she might have been targeting conservatives. because she thinks they're [ bleep ] and [ bleep ]. we're going to show you what we can reveal.

of the country. let's start in minnesota. a nine-hour manhunt, the gunman skiesed of shooting and killing a police officer during a traffic stop was later shot himself. this unfolding in west st. paul, minnesota. officer scott patrick was shot in broad daylight. that 47-year-old officer leaves behind a wife and two teenage children. the search for the suspect, 39-year-old brian fitch, senior, ended in a gun fight with cops there. fitch was shot. his condition has not been released at this hour. our prayers go out to the officer's family. it was way worse than we ever thought. we just learned that 20 million gallons of water lost after that water main burst near ucla. originally they had said they thought it was 10 or 20 million. but it's more. six people cleaning up the university's flooded basketball arena were treated for exposure to carbon monoxide. they were helping pump water off that court when they got sick from inhaling generator fumes
there. a dangerous health threat this morning at an immigration detention center at our nation's border. ice officials just had to put a facility on lockdown because of a highly contagious form of chicken pox. there has been a major outbreak there. fox news now has your first look inside. right now no immigrants are allowed to be transferred in or out of this facility right here. it opened about a month ago in new mexico. and you remember when president obama said this about the irs? >> there was some bone headed decisions out of -- >> but no mass corruption? >> not even mass corruption. not even a smidgen of corruption. >> okay. how is this for not even a smidgen of corruption? new e-mails catching lois lerner ranting about republicans. a house panel releasin e-mails that show her referring to conservatives as a-holes. excuse me, that's when it says, and crazy.
house republicans say the new evidence proves her, quote, hostility toward conservatives. there are calls to appoint special counsel to look at targeting of conservatives. a lot to talk about this morning. those are your headlines. >> all right. thank you very much. and joining us now, former mayor of new york city, rudy guiliani. hey, if she's calling conservatives a-holes, there is a good reason she probably took the fifth. >> do you see a smidgen of corruption there? >> i see civil rights violation. think about it. >> explain that. >> you can't just go out against someone based on race, religion, political preference. and this particular case, she's indicating a bias. she shouldn't be doing that job. she doesn't like conservatives. then she targets them. i can see putting together a very strong criminal civil rights case, which the justice department has done many, many times and usually it's in the area of race or religion. >> right. will eric holder's department of
justice do that? >> if it's as clear as it seems, it's going to be a asked and scf they don't. >> do you think they're trying to let the clock run out? there is statute of limitations? >> a couple of years. a republican attorney general could take this over and embarrass them. the reality is from the moment she took the fifth amendment t sent off signals. it could be she was just protecting herself. but there had to be something there she was protecting herself against. if she had a nice, simple explanation, then you get it over with. you don't create this problem. now we're starting to find out why she was so worried. who knows how many more of those comments are. maybe they're more explicit. at least it opens the door to a serious criminal civil rights investigation. >> logic tells you this got out, how bad are the other ones that you're willing to put up the public embarrassment? i would rather lose these e-mails then have these e-mails exposed and deal with it. >> i'm sorry burks as a former prosecutor, investigator for more of my life as a politician,
when e-mails get lost, they don't get lost. >> i'm with you. >> we'll find them some day. >> every lost e-mail i ever found made my case and put the guy in prison. >> to quote donald rumsfeld, we only know what we know. we'll see what we end up knowing. you also understand politics and the law. we see the house suing the president, saying you have overstepped the executive border, specifically when it comes to the affordable care act and when it comes to suspending the employee mandate. >> fascinating issue. takes me back to law school. when i was on the nyu law review, i wrote with my roommate an article relating to the expulsion of adam clayton powell and whether the supreme court would use the political question doctrine to avoid the case. ancient doctrine that says even if it is illegal, it's too much between two branches of government and the court has to stay out of it. it's between the president and the executive. so they're going to have to overcome that, the political
question doctrine. that's the bad side. the good side is these are blatant violations of the law. he ignores it. law says he can't do this. he does it. i don't know. it's going to depend on how the court views -- how far it wants to go in interfering between two co-equal branches of government. >> what you're saying is there is a real good possibility the courts won't take the case because the congress doesn't have standing because the framers wanted there to be tension -- >> no, no. they'll take the case and analyze the case and then they'll say, this -- if they do this. they'll say this is a political question that the constitution did not really want us to decide. they wanted the other two branches of government to get together and figure this out. they didn't want to interfere too much in it. now, that's if it's just one question, one issue. what i think the case they're putting together tries to show is this is multiple, multiple times that he has violated laws
that he signed. that gets you a little beyond the political question. that gets you to lawlessness, that the president is acting in a lawless way. therefore, i think there is a chance that this case could get heard. >> obviously the president really is taking this seriously. just take, for example, what he said yesterday. >> they have announced they're going to sue me for taking executive actions to help people. you know, they're mad 'cause i'm doing my job. everybody recognizes this is a political stunt, but it's worse than that because every vote they're taking like that means a vote they're not taking to actually help you. we could do so much more if congress would just come on and help out a little bit. just come on. come on and help out a little bit.
stop being mad all the time. stop this hating all the time. come on. let's get some work done together. >> his hands are tied. he can't get anything done. >> charles krauthammer earlier i heard made an excellent point. but it's very, very important. his job is not to help people, primarily. his job is to follow the law and through following the law, help people. this is as if he has his own conception of how you help people. and if you can help people and involves violating the law, then i'm morally okay. but if congress says you can not do this and doing it would help people, he's not allowed to do that. the constitution has not made the president of the united states the arbiter of what helps people. the constitution of the united states said the president executes the laws and in executing those laws that is set by congress, then he helps people. if he violates them, he's
hurting people. this is not a government of happy hour. we're all going to help each other. we have laws. we follow those laws. each one has a function and then we assume that by doing that, that's how we have a happy society. >> does he not know this or is he willing to -- >> this is constitutional law president can't do this kind of analysis. this is like "a man for all seasons" when thomas moore's son-in-law wants him to violate the law and thomas moore says this country is planted thick with laws like treaties and if you break one of them, all the trees will come down. this is a country of laws. the president doesn't understand that, we're in it. that statement could help that lawsuit get beyond the political question and say this isn't an isolated incident here or there. this is conduct that is going on over and over again in which he's just completely violating what congress has passed and there is no other remedy for it. >> right. you're the perfect guy to talk about that stuff because you did run for president.
you are a law scholar as well. and you were the mayor of new york city. and the new guy who is the mayor of new york city, bill de blasio, has returned from his vacation in italy to gracie mansion, which apparently has furniture from west elm, $65,000 worth upstairs. now he's blasting the cops on stop and frisk. listen to this. >> for much of the previous 12 years, there was a growing tension and grows disconnect between police and community all over our city. this administration came into office with a commitment to am end in the broken policy of stop and frisk. the overuse of stop and frisk, the unconstitutional use of stop and frisk. we settled the related lawsuit. we changed the practice on the ground and the numbers speak for themselves. >> what city was he living in for 12 years? >> i feel kind of left out. stop and frisk started 20 years ago with me and bill bratten,
his police commissioner. didn't stop with mike and ray kelly. they carried it on. they carried it on brilliantly and carried it on. and carried on crime reduction and built on our successes and had success of their own. this thing started 20 years ago. i'd like to take him back to what the city was like 20 years ago. how about 1900 murders 20 years ago? 22 years ago when the administration he worked in, they were 2200 murders. 2200 murders. last year, about 340. so 2200 murders is more than iraq. we were a city that was described as the crime capital of america. we were on the front cover of time magazine during the administration that he worked in that he seems to be emulating. we were called the rotting of the big apple. 12,000 felonies a week. >> is this personal to you? for him to make a speech? >> no. it's the ignorance of the left,
the idea that if you enforce the law, you're really harming people and hurting people. what you ignore is the fact that who are the victims of these crimes? 80, 90%, they're poor people. 80, 90% they're minorities. the people you're saving, the lives you're saving, the thing that i'm proudest of, the thing i believe mike is proudest of are the thousands and thousands and thousands of people, many minorities, but all people whose lives we saved because we had the courage to take tough action that the "new york times" routinely condemns. >> that was 20 years ago. >> those thousands of people would not be alive today if we had succumbed to political correctness. >> in 1984, the year we're talking about throwback thursday, summer jobs. there you are. that's a job earlier in your career, a man on a mission. >> that wasn't a summer job. that was when i was u.s. attorney, probably putting the families of the mafia in jail or maybe ivan boski, or maybe some
of ed koch's commissioners. or vito's son-in-law. >> thank you very much. >> thanked you.

the police ended up bring him home. what were his words to you? >> when i was -- they had me in handcuffs and told him after they took him out of the cop car to go straight to his room. and as he was walking into the home, he was like mommy, i'm sorry. i wanted to go to the park. he was absolutely upset and scared and thought this was his fault. >> john, i want to ask you, legally the definition of neglect seems to be include failure of the parent to provide the child with supervision. it doesn't seem as though dominic was threatened at the time. when the police came up to him, as the story goes, he was playing with friends, had his cell phone. if he wasn't in danger, how can they possibly have a case? nicole is facing five years in jail. >> it's a felony. five years. you got to be kidding me on this situation. no. there is no legal neglect here. i think you have overzealous policeman. but policemen are not expert at child welfare.
the child welfare is the one who investigated this and they, according nicole, think the charges should be dropped. i think the big question we're facing here is who is the parent? the policeman or the welfare department or this hard working mother who is arrested like a criminal. this is the thing that really concerns me. what are the best interests of the child here, if this mother has to go to prison? what's going to happen to this child? >> nicole, are you a good mom or a criminal? >> i'm a good mom. >> we're going to see how this case unfolds certainly as it looks like he was not in danger at the time. we'd love to follow up with you. please stay in touch. nicole and john. >> thank you. coming up, a bizarre scene playing out in court. why in the world was this suspect taped to a wheelchair and gagged inside the courtroom? then we all want safe -- what if you could cut your grocery bill in half without clipping a

went deeper in. so we're going into up with of the tunnels. it is very deep underground here. obviously you can see it's really tight in here. very tight right here. it starts to open up. as we make our way deeper into the tunnel, gives a little more clearance here. the walls are really thick. very well reinforced. this was used for electricity. then let me show you this down here. was used for the transport of cargo. the smell of basically dirt and concrete. i got to say, it's a little unnerving in here. this is captain daniel. how deep are we right now? >> 50-meters underground now. it serves one purpose, to get inside the center of israel and towns around. come out of the tunnel with
weapons and kill and kidnap as much citizens and soldiers as possible. >> now israeli commanders say that at this point, 32 tunnels have been discovered, including the one that we went into. now we're hearing 20 have been destroyed. that operation obviously continues today as well. back to you. >> all right. john huddy on the border. we thank you very much. those things took years to create. >> i think so. what are they used to do it? >> supposedly the building supplies that they were in short supply of there in the gaza. now we know what they were building. it wasn't schools. it was tunnels. >> right. the president is set to huddle up with leaders on foreign affairs today with regard toga. why the suspect was tape to do a wheelchair and gagged like hannibal lecter. >> it's a father and son project of presidential proportion. wait until you hear what bush 41

own name on it? >> yeah. >> you have a jackknife? i could do something right here. >> go ahead. you'll have nine people dive on you here in the wings. >> the prize is up to $3 million award for winning. >> it's not about the money. >> of course not. >> it's about the trophy. thank you very much. the u.s. open for letting us borrow this. >> and let us keep them. really a nice surprise. >> the victory trophy first. meanwhile, heather nauert -- you want to hold this? >> absolutely. an unbelievable story. in the olden days, you hear about people trying to get contraband into prison and bake a nail file in a cake? listen to what's happening now. police are now closing in on a person who tried to fly a drone that was filled with drugs and other contraband into a maximum security prison. the drone crashed in the bushes just outside the lee correctional institute in south carolina. it was filled with pot, cell phones and tobacco products. one suspect already arrested. the other one still at large.
the suspect in the las vegas casino robbery makes a bizarre appearance in court. look at this. he is wrapped in a blanket with a mask over his head and taped to a wheelchair. all kind of like animal lecter from the movie. he was wheeled into court because he refused to cooperate with officers. the judge ordered him to appear in court by any force necessary. the f.b.i. alleges carmichael entered the bellagio casino, pulled a bb gun and order the teller to hand over about $43,000 in cash. it is a father-son project of presidential proportion. president george w. bush writing a book about his father. he's been working on this for about two years now and bush 43 says, quote, george h.w. bush is a great servant, statesman and father. i loved writing this story of his life, and i hope others enjoy reading it.

so still a little cool, especially for the month of july across portions of the great lakes. your high temperatures are going to be warming up a little bit. low 80s in new york city. 80s in atlanta. still hot from texas to parts of arizona. 111 degrees for your high in phoenix. across portions of the northeast, we are going to see showers. they'll be isolated across the region and there are also going to be a slight chance for storms. there is a slight chance some of the storms across parts of new england could produce some severe weather. keep an eye out for that. otherwise farther west across portions of eastern texas, eastern oklahoma, western parts of arkansas, we're expecting an area of low pressure to be moving eastward. out here it will be producing areas of heavy rain. concern for flash flooding. steve, let's head over to you. >> all right. thank you very much. we all like to save some money without working too hard to do it. so what if you could cut your food bill, grocery bill in half and never have to clip a single coupon? that sounds pretty good.
here to tell us more is personal finance expert lauren lions cole. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> that's the thing, a lot of people love the idea of saving money, but they don't want to clip coupons because there is something about coupons and it's a hassle. but it's money! >> it's true. it takes a lot of time to clip coupons. but you don't have to invest the time. there is other ways to save. >> for instance, you say pick up the weekly circular. >> exactly. you can pick it up as you're walking into the store. there are tons of sales without even picking up a pair of scissors that you can get while at the store. if you get it before you get to the store, you can even plan your weekly meals around the sales. >> because some of those, you can save up to 50%. the stuff on sale is there for a reason. >> exactly. >> when you go shopping, and i didn't realize this, pick an off time. a lot of people go certain times, particularly on the weekends. how does that save you money? >> if you're shopping when everyone else is shopping, you're probably going to fall back into convenience or
shopping from habit, just throwing things in the cart, especially if you have the kids with you. try going at a time when the store will be less crowded. you can walk slowly, think through the sales, look at the circular ad. those times are wednesdays and thursdays, weekend evenings, or any morning, super early first thing when they open. >> in other words, if somebody needs something to do on a saturday night g to the grocery store and save money. >> that's the best time to go. try it. >> when you go on a saturday night, make sure you take your smart phone because there are a bunch of apps that are available that tell you what? >> the millenials are couponing more than any other generation with technology. there are two great apps i'm going to recommend. bravado and slip. if you use these apps, you can get all sorts of coupons. they'll deliver customized what you're shopping for. >> okay. and the name of that once again is favado and flip. >> all right. that's easy. this is something we've been
doing at our family since we've got three kids. they're all over the place. buy vast quantities. buy in bulk if you can. >> right. so if you're buying something like onions, they're going to last for a long time. buy the bag. don't buy them individually. keep in mind, you want to look at the unit prices when you're doing this 'cause every now and then, food manufacturers are smart. the big can of peanut butter every now and then might cost more than the smaller one. so look at the unit price. >> now my wife and i are alone because the kids are all over the country. so when we go to costco and we buy the 19 pounds of peanut butter, it might take 19 years to go through it. >> right. sometimes if you're going to end up wasting the food, you're not saving. make sure you're buying the amount you can eat. >> and buy generic. if you buy the house brand or generic brand, you can save how much? >> up to 25%. this is one of those tips that everybody knows they should do, but still, we don't do it consistently. so if you're not sure if the quality is quite the same, flip the box around, look at the
ingredients. if they are the same, then buy generic. save 25. >> i'm going to download that app right now. thank you for joining us. >> thanks for having me. >> good information. coming up on our program today, is your teen-ager having a tough time finding work this summer? they're not alone. reason why. cheryl casone is up with that coming up. and actor david bran has choice words for the president. grow some. really? that story is coming up next. first the trivia question of the day. born on this date in 1966, this superman star played football at princeton. he's the friend of this program. he was on about a month ago. who is he? come on. e-mail us. you'll be the big winner. ♪ ♪

what are they saying there? >> good morning. i got to tell you, it's a rough summer when it comes to teens getting work. we found a few teens working here. they are setting up for the day as they're about to be filled with tourists and everybody else. i got to tell you, it's a tough summer for teens. down 12% now when it comes to teens hiring. why are they not getting jobs? because older workers are getting hired. let's bring in our guest and talk about why are -- you got 1,000 applications? >> at least 1,000 applications. everybody wants a job and it's very hard to find jobs today. >> you were telling me earlier that a lot of older kids, even kids in their 20s, are coming in. they want to work here, so you're not hiring as many teen-agers. >> right. the job market is so wide open. especially teachers, small job market for them. they're looking for work. we want to get the best person to work for us. there is a lot of kids here. we love hiring kids. >> we love being on the beach. you guys are setting up and we want to let you know that if you look at the labor participation
rate as we're getting ready to get the initial jobless claims today, it's about 34 to 40% right now. that's in the range. that is because a lot of these teen-agers decided just not to get work and decided to do other things. maybe take a little vacation. let's bring in nicole, she's 19. she's a junior. come over here. talk to me about your summer work. you knew that you needed to work this year. was it tough to get a job? >> i was lucky enough for this to be my second year here. i started here last summer. but i used to work at camp malibu. once i knew the restaurant opened up, i wanted to send in an application. >> are you going to work the entire summer? are you saving for school? >> yes. i'm saving the money for school. i'll be here until probably august 20, right up to when school starts. >> and sam, you're 15 years old. you're the only high schooler that's working for the summer. i used to work in high school. but what are the rest of your friends doing this summer if not working? >> vacation, hanging out, i'm

those older workers working at major chains are coming here for a second job because they need the work. this is the kind of summer that we're having right now, especially here. but really across the country. that's what we're finding out here. we're going to see how the data comes out tomorrow and see what the numbers tell us. >> we could have sent you anywhere. you could have went to a mall. it's amazing you chose the beach restaurant to explain to us about teen unemployment. >> yeah. i really have a tough time when i have to go travel for "fox & friends." you send me to rotten places. >> but cheryl, you know about traveling because today our tbt, throwback thursday is all about summer jobs. this is a picture of you at your first job out of college when, ladies and gentlemen, cheryl casone was a flight attendant with southwest airlines. >> look at that. >> that was me. long time ago. >> love that. >> it's your idea not to assign the seats?

the disease. those two american peace corps workers came in contact with an individual who later died from the virus. they will likely be brought to the united states once doctors clear them. we are learning they are under close observation and are not showing symptoms yet. but the peace corps has decided to evacuate 340 of its american volunteers from three african countries out of precaution during this deadly outbreak. in liberia, schools shut down and employees have been order to do shut down. the scare reached north carolina yesterday, shutting down a section of a hospital for hours. doctors thankfully determining the patient is in fact not infected. >> we acted out of an abundance of caution, making sure that all precautions were in place to protect our patients as well as our health care workers. >> reporter: the ebola virus spreads through close contact with bodily fluids like blood or touching contaminated surfaces. symptoms include fever, headache, muscle aches and the risk of dying once you get it is
90%. this killed one american, patrick sawyer, who contracted it flying from liberia to lagos. the cdc says there is no significant risk here in the united states. >> the reason physicians and health care workers are getting it over there is they're not fully protected against the virus. they're not using the same infectious control precautions we do. i don't want any panic spreading here. >> the two other americans fighting for their lives, missionary workers in liberia, are slowing slight improvement. and the cdc has released new guidelines for airlines to prevent it from reaching the united states. back to you. >> thank you very much. coming up on this thursday, are you tired of debt collectors calling your house in the middle of supper time? there is a way to get rid of them for good. what you need to know coming up in the next hour. >> eat out? >> that's one way. president obama is facing repeated calls for his impeachment because of the immigration crisis at the

my read. someone better buy this fan a new bud lite because she caught the homerun ball with her budweiser. >> there goes nine bucks. >> mornings are better with friends. >> this is dean cain, you are watching "fox & friends" in the morning. so am i. >> happy birthday, dean cain, as we learn from our trivia question of the day. today is his birthday. i wonder if that fan actually intended to catch it with her glass or if that was an accident. >> i don't think so. you have a choice when the ball comes. do i drop the beer or catch the ball, or do i hold the beer and let the ball hit me? she's like, let me just -- >> you can sort of have your beer -- >> maybe she had a couple of beer before and didn't notice the ball and it's just a hole in one. >> look at that. >> later it will show the mitt
blinded her, preventing her from seeing the ball come down and hit her beer. can we see that one more time? >> we're going to see it in the regular news a second. >> the mitt blinded her. >> blinded by the shlitz. >> making a splash. >> we got a busy one hour that starts. the judge will join us in a moment much first we got heather with the news. >> good morning. quite a story coming out of the midwest. a nine-hour manhunt and the gunman accused of shooting and killing a police officer during a traffic stop was later shot himself. this unfolded in west st. paul, minnesota. officer scott patrick was shot in broad daylight. that 47-year-old officer now leaves behind a wife and two teenage children. the search for the suspect, 39-year-old brian fitch, senior, ended in a gun fight with police. fitch was shot, his condition, not being released at this hour.
a shopping center is now the site of a firey plane crash. >> i knew it was going down and then they were on the ground and in flames and a lot of black smoke. >> imagine all the people around. that plane clipping the top of a target store and then hitting a pole before it slammed into a parking lot at a nearby costco. the pilot now in the hospital. her passenger died. no word yet on what caused the crash. certainly lucky that a lot of people weren't injured in that. america's first homicide bomber in syria returned to the united states before he carried out his deadly attack in syria. a new report says that this 22-year-old florida native spent months in the united states after he got his terror training. he drove a truck that was packed with explosives into a restaurant in northern syria and this just released video filmed before his death, shows him ripping up his u.s. passport.
he bites it, sets it on fire, and leaves a chilling message, we're coming of you. one bank's atm is dishing out a lot more than cash. >> oh, my goodness. never seen such a beautiful surprise. >> how sweet is that. look at that, presents and flowers. thanks to its customers, citibank set up a special automated banking machine -- yeah. in canada. gifts included money, flowers, and the chance to throw out the first pitch at a blue jay's game. how cool is that? those are your headlines. what a clever idea. >> that's fantastic. >> way to make somebody's day. >> thank you. >> we'll say thank you. flowers on the way. as we go to what's happening in washington, judge napolitano rejoins us on the couch. yesterday there was a vote in the house to go ahead and sue the president and only five republicans decided not to. everybody else was on board.
all democrats were against it. so therefore, they're moving ahead with the lawsuit. >> if you follow up on the very, very prudent, very astute analysis that mayor giuliani gave seated right here about an hour ago, the court will have to decide is this a political question? is this an issue that the courts were intended to resolve? are judges competent and capable of telling presidents how to perform their jobs, or should they stay out? in my opinion, it's a slam dunk. it's a political case. and the court will dismiss it as soon as the president's lawyers move to -- >> because the separation of powers? >> yes, yes. the constitution was written to create this tension. now look, i believe that the president is either incompetent or lawless. i would cheerlead the arguments the republicans are making against him. i believe he's the most lawless president in modern times. my op ed at foxnews.com and elsewhere this morning attempts to make that case. the remedy is an unpleasant one.
it's not a lawsuit because it will be thrown out. madison provided the remedy in the constitution. it's removal from office. >> you're talking about impeachment. >> yes. i know we don't want to go through the political aggravation and maybe that's the ironicallvon this i agree with the president. the lawsuit is a political stunt. here is the test: with these members of congress spend their own money on lawyers to file a lawsuit knowing it's going to be dismissed? of course not. it will be a waste of money. then they shouldn't spend ours. >> the supreme court decision back in june unanimously said that obama was out of line for making recess appointments. >> absolutely. >> that at all does not factor into how you believe that courts would see this at all in terms of overreach? >> an interesting question. the remedy for his being out of line and filing these nominations on a saturday morning when he knows the senate is not in session is to invalidate the nominations. it's not to force him to file them on another day. this lawsuit wants to force the
president to do things that judges would basically say not our job. >> so you say impeachment is a remedy. >> yes. it may be imprudent because it may cost the country more than it's worth. but it's a remedy in the constitution. >> sure. a couple days ago i said i don't know anybody, republicans or conservatives, who are talking about impeachment. that's true. the people in myever day life -- >> our colleagues, governor palin and a few others. >> are you suggesting republicans do that, because it's a political loser. >> i'm suggesting that it would be far more constitutionally appropriate now than it was in a case of bill clinton and i'm suggesting that it is the only remedy under the constitution for a president who is either, either incompetent or lawless or both. >> that's the title of your column. here is the president yesterday, obviously he is really taking this serious. >> think about this, they have announced they're going to sue
me for taking executive actions to help people. so, you know, they're mad 'cause i'm doing my job. everybody recognizes it's a political stunt, but it's worse than that because every vote they're taking like that means a vote they're not taking to actually help you. we could do so much more if congress would just come on and help out a little bit. just come on. come on and help out a little bit. stop being mad all the time. stop this hating all the time. come on. let's get some work done together. >> this is the most serious constitutional crisis since watergate and he's making a joke out of it. let me argue, it's not the president's job to help people. read the constitution and read your oath, mr. president.
it's the president's job to uphold the constitution. he's acting like he's the grandfather in chief, the uncle in chief rather than the law enforcer in chief. a law enforcer who only enforces laws he agrees with. >> does it hurt him that congress doesn't want to do what he wants to do, and therefore, they both have a point of view? he wants people just to do what he wants them to do. he doesn't want to compromise. >> his job is not to write the laws. his job is to enforce the laws that the congress writes whether he agrees with them or not. he took an oath to do that. >> it's all about compromise these days if you want to get anything done and it's tough. it's a toxic environment in washington, d.c. and because there are already scandals and that's lois lerner when she swore herself in and took the fifth. what's curious now is there have been some e-mails released by the house ways and means committee that show that lois lerner did not like conservative s, called them names. it looks pretty bad. we've got an excerpt, this is from november 9, 2012, which the
committee released. >> from an unknown person here says you should hear the whackoing of the gop, the u.s. is through too many foreigners, sucking the tea, time to hunker down, prepare for the end. right wing radio shows are scary to listen to. >> it went on from learner. >> great, maybe we are through if there are that many a-holes. >> a known respondent, i'm talking about the host of the shows, the callers are rabid. >> even a-holes -- >> learner said. >> so we don't need to worry about alien terrorists. it's our own crazies that will take us down. that's curious. no wonder she didn't worry about taking down the nonprofits because she viewed them simply as run by terrorists. >> she's entitled to her political opinion like everybody else. >> off the clock. >> right. once she has a sensitive job in the irs, her job is to review applications from ostensibly political groups and decide whether or not they get a tax exemption and she has that animas against a class of those
groups, she should get off the jobs. >> that's her work e-mail. >> correct. if a litigant came before me that i hated or couldn't stand or i had some interest in the outcome of the case, i have an affirmative obligation to get off the case. >> sure. >> she should have been given another job. her bosses should have been known about it. a political irs is represencible and tyrannical and the president did nothing about it. >> why not a special prosecutor now? will this be the moment where one is brought in? >> the one saving grace here is whatever she did, the statute of limitations is seven years, meaning whoever succeeds president obama will be in a position to have his or her attorney general prosecute mrs. learner and the others. >> judge, we also know, you also tried howard stern, right? did you excuse yourself or do you like howard stern? >> we became very good friends. >> after that. >> the case was assigned to me and was settled. >> what was the case? >> i can't say on air. he used some language on air that some person sued him for
and we had to call 700 jurors in order to find six who have no opinion of mr. stern. he was a gentleman throughout. the case was settled. it's now history and we developed a unique friendship. >> okay. >> i just remembered. >> judge, thank you. >> thank you. coming up, he was one of the three marines killed in cold blood by one of our afghan allies. but that kid only got a slap on the wrist. that hero's dad is here and he says he's been betrayed. for years we heard liberals describe themselves as pro-choice, but planned parenthood has a plan to change that. you know what? it's just in time for the next election. ♪ ♪
it's a term as old as the issue itself. pro-choice, it means women have a choice over future. even if that means no future at all. but pro-abortion groups like planned parenthood want to rebrand the term pro choice with something a little more vague. going forward, they'll be pro-woman's health instead. pollster and fox news contributor frank luntz is here
to help explain why. frank, thanks for being with us. you actually came up with the determine teth tax for the government's inheritance tax. you say call it like it is. but in this case, it seems to me and many others that abortion activists are doing quite the opposite and making it more vague. >> i understand why they're doing it. even the framing that you just did, which is pro-abortion, that this is an -- i want to set the context here. number one, it matters to people. pro-life, pro-choice, the issue of abortion, it does matter. but it is a lower priority when it comes to elections. when it comes to politics. about four out of five women will vote more on economic issues than they will on the issue of abortion. and second is that the american people think that politicians are trying to politicize something that they believe is intensely personal, intensely private, should be left up to the individual and the states to make a decision. so they don't like this back and forth between politicians. it's been a big issue in certain campaigns.
colorado, for example, it's roughly one third of all the ads being run against the republican are on that issue of abortion and copttives the public says that's too much. take this issue out of politics. it is not partisan. it is not political. and let people decide for themselves what is the proper moral context. >> sure. according to a luntz poll here, talking to the man himself, when asked if it's more important that a politician agrees with you on economic issues or reproductive issues, 71% said i'd rather agree on economic issues. so obviously that's more important here. but the focus, particularly when it comes to elections here and the women's vote and women's rights is in a way, do you believe, being misrepresented? to cloak a pro-abortion rights and funding in support for that as just women's health notions doesn't seem to be as detailed as it should be. doesn't represent a lot of women's thinking and rights in terms of where they stand on
abortion. >> it's simply inaccurate. roughly 10% of the population, only 10% believe that abortion should be available to anyone at any time. about 90% are in-- in different degrees opposed to abortion. if you talk about it in terms of reproductive rights, that's misleading. if you talk about it in terms of women's health, that's misleading because that does not describe the issue. what planned parenthood is trying to do is it's trying to message it -- i can't blame them for doing it because as you referenced, i've done it as well. but on this issue when it is a life and death issue, when it is a personal values issue, overwhelmingly the public in general and women in particular are saying get this out of partisan politics. get this out of this horrific divide that this country has right now and let people decide and let states decide. >> sure. just lumping it under women's health, no different than a
tooth exam cleaning. regular old checkup. thank you. >> pleasure. up next, he was one of three marines killed in cold blood by one of our afghan allies. that killer only got a slap on the wrist. that hero's father is here and he says he has been betrayed. and then imagine driving down the highway and this comes flying at you. how this blade came inches from the passenger's face. oh, my. ♪ ♪

greg buckley, junior, had just celebrated his 21st birthday in afghanistan. he was set to come home on a surprise visit to drink his first legal beer with his dad. but he never got that beer and he never got home. he was one of the three marines killed in cold blood by one of our afghan so-called allies. a police officer who he had recently joined for dinner. >> he went over there. he did what he was asked to do and the people he was training and helping over there, they turned on him. they turned on him and he told me weeks ago, dad, they're shady. i don't want to be here. >> wow. two years later his son's killer gets off with a slap on the wrist. he is charged as a minor. joining us right now, greg buckley, senior. unbelievable. we saw the raw emotion moments ago how you felt then. how does that compare to how you feel now, that he was tried in
afghanistan as a minor and you didn't even know they told you in the aftermath. he gets 7 1/2 years! >> outrageous. outrageous our government would do this to my family and the other gold star families. >> right. you were told they were going to be handled. step back. afghan law will prosecute him. they claim to do do a bone scan, find out he's 17, so he gets 7 1/2 years. if your son shot one of those guy, he goes to leavenworth for life. >> exactly. >> so you wrote a letter to the marines and it says this -- you say this, you never came clean about their son's murder, was never serious about investigating the incident. you issued a calculated press statement about the verdict before notifying the families to get out in front of the story with this own self-serving account last friday afternoon to minimize the attention and prevent the family from responding publicly. they made do you this in the aftermath. you would have went over there. >> yes. i wanted to go over there. i was willing to pay my own way to go to afghanistan for the
trial. but they never informed us when the trial was taking place until after the trial was over with. >> we should just know, you, your son and staff sergeant scott dickerson, corporal richard rivera were gunned down at a forward operating base while they worked out. what did this clown say after he did it? >> just went around screaming he just committed jihad. >> just committed jihad. >> yep. >> marines are known as the utter definition of loyalty and brotherhood. how do you feel they treated you and the families? >> disrespectful. they should have came to us. they should have told us what they were doing. my family has been after them every day asking for questions and they keep on stonewalling us every time we ask something. >> right. if you had a chance to be in an american courtroom and we have victim impact statements, what would be something you would have made clear at his trial had
you been given the opportunity? >> just to be as clear that he was proud to be a marine. it's just heart wrenching that the government would treat us the way they are right now. we want him back here. we want to have him tried and have him convicted here. it's not seven years. seven years doesn't compare. you're talking two and a quarter years for each marine he murdered, executed really. and they keep on calling it murder. my son was shot five times. four in his chest and one in his neck. he had a pair of shorts on and a tank top working out in the gym. waiting to come home. he only had two days left and then he was going to be home. >> training that guy to protect his home so he went there to train them and his reward is to get shot and your family's reward is to not even be informed and essentially stew in your own juice. not our problem. >> the trial took place without us knowing anything about it and the day before he told us we'll
notify you as soon as the trial starts. the trial started the following day. prosecuted him that day and that was it. they gave him seven years. he'll be out in four years 'cause he already served two. but i'll never have my son back again. >> where do you go from here? >> i don't know. just trying to find the right answers. just looking for help. just want somebody to help me out and help my family out. >> we will absolutely help you. we have your biggest military audience watching right now out there. we have a marine sitting in mexico for some reason. doesn't seem to be an urgency to get him out. trying to get him out. now we have this situation where no one cares about your son's legacy, nor his other officers who lost their lives that day. we'll keep pushing and if the marines are the people we know they are, they will step up and realize their mistake and reach out. >> that's what we're asking for. just to help out. >> thanks. steve, tell us what's next. >> thank you very much.

president from giving amnesty to illegals that have grown up in the united states. but is that enough to keep our border secure? congressman mike mccaul joins us live.
welcome back. in just a few hours, the house set to vote on a border bill that will rein in the president's power to give illegal immigrants amnesty. does the bill go far enough to address the border crisis? joining us is the chairman of the house homeland security committee, congressman michael mccaull. good morning. >> good morning. >> tomorrow everyone set to take recess there. do you believe that this will actually get accomplished? everyone is going to leave with something signed, sealed and delivered? >> the house is going to do its job. this is a crisis that demands
action and leadership. we will provide that today. in several ways, one a message of deterrence. we're going to change the 2008 trafficking law which basically says that if you come into the united states from central america, you'll be treated just like we treat the mexicans with a very swift removal from the united states back to your country of origin back home in a humane way. secondly, deploying the national guard. the governor of my state has already activated the national guard. but it's the federal government's responsibility under the constitution to pick up the tab for that. so we will be deploying the national guard all throughout the southwest border as a border security measure. i think those two things -- the 2008 tweak is important because that will stop the flow coming into the country. once we send them back, they will stop coming in. >> sure. >> 2012, the president has this dream act, if you got brought here by your parents as a young child, you can stay. you won't be deported.
2008, trafficking was misinterpreted. now the senate has their own version. it has 2.7 billion in it. yours has 650 million in it. you're going to do your thing and amend those laws. but we're wondering here as americans, what's going to get done? what is harry reid going to do with that? >> well, i hope for once in washington we can be responsible and lead in a time of crisis. and solve problems. that's what we're doing as house republicans on our side. the money is appropriate go toward detention and removal and repatriation back to their countries. no new money. it all comes out of the fema disaster relief fund. you mentioned the 2012 executive action that in my judgment circumvented the congress. we're going to rein that one in as well with the vote on the floor. rein that in so that this president can no longer do that. the surge really started in 2012 when this executive action was put into place. >> exactly.
it was about two hours ago we had the governor of the great state of indiana, mike pence on this program. he was talking about how he discovered through the news that hundreds of these illegals were being dumped in his state. the government didn't tell him. it was the news media. here he is. listen to this. >> we have obligations, as you mentioned. it's about back to school time in indiana, but there is also potentially health, other welfare issues that we need to be prepared to deal with. i mean, it's completely unacceptable that we read about this in the newspaper. ferrying people around the country and not informing state governments and local officials about their placement or long-term placement with private individuals or with institutions is not the answer. >> why is it, chairman, the federal government isn't telling state governors who are going to be on the hook for school and welfare and food and stuff like that that they're sending these kids there? >> i think it's totally irresponsible. i've had this conversation with
the secretary of homeland security. why aren't you telling us where you're putting these children because the governors need to know. the county officials need to know. this will impact every member's district across the nation and i think to mike pence's point, under state laws, we are required to educate the children. in these cases, the children i've seen, quite frankly, their native dialect is an indian dialect. it's not even spanish of the they would be put into a special ed type class. >> you're going to need translators. >> this is why we need to stop the flow. that's why our bill i think is the answer to stopping this crisis and stopping the flow of these kids coming into the united states. >> all right. it's going to pass in the house. let's see what happens in the senate. >> clock is ticking. >> thank you very much for joining us live from dc. >> thank you. >> thanks for having me. coming up straight ahead. >> tired of debt collectors calling your house in the middle of dinner? i am. >> if you refuse to answer the door tomorrow, i guarantee you i

according to a new study, more than 77 million americans have debts and unpaid bills that have been turned over to collection agencies. and where there are collection agencies, there are debt collectors making phone calls to your house, sometimes -- actually they're never friendly usually. >> i have to let you know i am call to go collect a debt. any information used. >> if you refuse to open the door tomorrow, i guarantee you i will wake up every neighbor in your entire [ bleep ] building. >> so those are some of the bad ones. how far can they go when it comes to tracking you down? here is peter johnson, jr. >> we're going to wake up every neighbor in your building! let's go to the question. >> here is the first question, peter johnson, jr. can a debt collector call my residence any time of the day or night? >> in their world, yes. in your world, no. it's against the law. only between 8:00 a.m. and 9 p.m send them a letter right away saying i don't want to pay this debt. i am disputing this debt.
they can't call you thereafter. do it quickly. >> the next one, can they call me at work? >> answer is no. they can not call you at work. they can call you once in terms of determining whether that's your actual location and get information from them. again, write them, i do not allow calls at work. my employer does not allow calls at work. do not call my work. >> speaking of work, can they garnish my wages? >> very important issue. they can only garnish your wages after a hearing, after a judgment has been entered, after you appear in court or if you don't appear in court, they will absolutely garnish your wages. they will take wages and your employer will be directed by law to take it out of your weekly or biweekly paycheck. so be careful on that issue. >> finally, the collectors make it sound pretty scary. can you go to jail over a debt? >> you can not go to jail over a debt in the united states of america. you used to be able to go to jail for a debt.
i'm not talking about a family law debt. i'm not talking about a support debt. i'm talking about a consumer debt. so when they call you up and say, you can go to jail, you can be arrested, they're violating the law. they're subject to a lawsuit. they're subject to paying you if you win such a lawsuit. >> before you go, how we stop them from calling? >> tomorrow, first of all, a letter within 30 days. repeated letters, letters to your credit bureau saying i don't want to pay this debt because i don't owe this particular debt. obviously if you owe the debt, you got to pay it or over time. tomorrow we're going to talk about ways to fight back and get out of problems with debt collectors and get out of debt in a smart, legal way. >> all right. great advice. peter johnson, jr., thank you very much. we got one for the road coming up when we continue rolling on live from new york city.

city as israeli hit key hamas locations. the targets including a tv station and the home of one of the group's top leaders. the strikes came as israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu delivered a national tv address. he warned of an extended conflict and said, quote, there is no war more just than this. israeli and hamas are trading blame for an attack that left nine palestinian children dead and dozens injured. palestinian officials say israeli air strikes hit a park as children were playing on swings. israeli, however, says militants in gaza fired the rockets which failed to reach the intended targets and that brings the death toll to more than 1,100 palestinians, according to officials there. 53 israeli soldiers have been killed, including four yesterday, as well as three civilians in israeli. joining us no from you gaza nbc news foreign correspondent ayman
mohyeldin. >> reporter: last night was a marked difference in terms of where we are here in gaza city. it's a scene we have seen throughout other parts of gaza but yesterday the fighting arrived in gaza city and 35,000 people live here. late flares were dropped early in the evening 3:00 p.m. local time and paved the way for a series of intense shelling that targeted, among other things, the gaza port, the house of hamas leader here in gaza, and others. there are also this morning, disturbing news about the humanitarian situation here according to the spokesperson who is in charge of the gaza electrical power tank, two fuel tanks belonging to that tank were hit and caught on fire and still burning well into the hours of this afternoon. as a result of that now, they say the representatives at the power plant a humanitarian disaster is going to unfold
here. 1.8 million who depend on all types of electricity for water, sanitation, and other subinfrastructure needs are now wa without power and no place to store the fuel burning for the last couple of hours. a sense to what the palestinians are waking up to this morning. the death toll continues to find. along the front lines, there is still fighting taking place. hamas militants were able to, yesterday, fire at israeli soldiers and infiltrate across the border into israeli with some of these tunnels, so it shows you that the situation here is still very tense to say the least. mika? >> ayman, it's willie. good to see you this morning. is there any changing pressure over the last four weeks inside among palestinians about what they should be doing here in terms of stepping back? as these civilian casualties mount, as they see women and children being carried into hospital and many of them dead
and some of them wounded. have they thought twice now and said maybe we should step back from this or are they only emboldened by the ongoing attacks from israeli? >> reporter: here it's important to make the distinction between hamas and palestinian factions and ordinary palestinian people who are bearing the brunt of this. when you speak to ordinary palestinians they feel they are reaching a point of desperation. they feel the situation is very much out of their hands. the political factions and the military wings of these political factions still remain very defiant and emboldened and they say their backs up against the war and they have nothing to lose and living a life under siege the past seven years and for them this is now about fighting until the end and that end is a struggle for them and they want to continue the struggle to get the international community for once and for all live the siege and that is how they are portraying it and how a lot of the palestinian factions and representatives we are speaking
to are saying that is what this struggle is about. >> ayman, thank you. on capitol hill, kirsten gillibrand and ted cruz came together and announced a resolution criticizing using civilians. the israeli press is pushing a cease-fire that the reports claim would be more beneficial to hamas. secretary kerry is standing by his actions. >> make no mistake, when the people of israeli are rushing to bomb shelters, when innocent israeli and palestinian teenagers are abducted and murdered, when hundreds of innocent civilians have lost their lives, i will, and we will make no apologies for our actions. in a column that you entitled kerry's gaza blunder.
in part you write this. secretary of state john kerry has made a significant mistake how he is pursuing a gaza cease-fire and not surprising he has upset both the israelis and some moderate palestinians. kerry's error has been to put so much emphasis on achieving a quick halt to the bloodshed that he has solidified the role of hamas, the unpopular islamist group that leads gaza, along with the two hard line nations that and in the process he has undercut not only the israelis but the egyptians and the fatah movement that runs the palestinian authority all of which want to see an end to hamas rule in gaza. david ignatius, i see what you're saying and i'm wondering how it's possible to blunder something that has been devolving for decades. >> the gaza mess is not john kerry's fault but it's a tragedy that has been going on as you say for so many years. i think the mistake kerry made
in seeking a cease-fire quickly in this intractable conflict without thinking about a pathway for the future so that the situation in gaza wouldn't simply revert to the status quo which we see means another war and another round of misery two years, three years ahead. kerry's first effort was with egypt when he got to the middle east, he tried to use egyptian mediation to broker a cease-fire and that didn't work. so he then turned away from the egyptians who were right next to gaza who are angry at hamas, almost as angry as israeli itself is, and turn to the hamas friends in turkey and in qatar and try to use them as the mediamea meadmea mediators for the cease-fire. he then upset palestinians and moderate palestinians and others in the region who thought he was enfranchising the region who
were obstacles to peace. if one thing i hope secretary kerry can do is get back on the track of finding a more stable and permanent transition to a future where hamas is not the only dominant force in gaza. >> we are bringing this back to you. but, bobby, jump in and take it to david. when you listen to leaders on all sides of this conflict, it doesn't sound like there is a lot of room for negotiation. first of all, i'm not sure what you would hold off any call for a cease-fire for because they are not stopping and they are not pulling back. rhetoric especially on the side, i'm sorry, of benjamin netanyahu seems to get tougher and tougher every day. having said that, what do you think is possible at this point? >> nothing until the shooting stops. until the shooting stops, nothing is possible. i think that explains kerry's sort of sense of urgency. it's not like this was his first attempt as david pointed out. he did try to work through the egyptians. that did not work. the egyptians no longer under general, no longer have the
flun influence in gaza they used to. the position is now so small it might as well not exist. so it's unlikely that you're going to get a immediate if egypt is a mediator. i can see the sense in trying to work through them. obviously, there was something inarticulate in the way kerry presented his proposal, but the response from egypt has been beyond caustic and so counterproductive. this is a guy trying to solve a problem. there is a global uproar. president obama called netanyahu two days ago and called for immediate cease-fire, basically, the same thing kerry is saying. stop the shooting now. instead the israeli officials speaking many of them speaking off the record or speaking without attribution are mounting pile on top of john kerry who wants to just be ahead. >> it's difficult for americans
to accept something is beyond their reach, betweut isn't it possible this is a conflict, america despite its great power cannot exert its influence without two parties who want to come to the table and speak to each other? >> if history proves this is not a conflict that american can just solve. my view is -- and this is a view that has evolved over the years -- it's just better to be involved than not involved. just saying you guys are crazy, call us when you're ready to talk seriously, both of you. you know, that's a tempting position but, in fact, that doesn't work. that tends to make things worse. i think we need to be involved. my question for david ignatius, turkey is a nato member, a major country. so why not work through turkey to try to resolve this, especially given, as bobby pointed out, the lack of
influence that egypt has right now? of course, it used to under the muslim brotherhood but it certainly doesn't now. so why not go to a government like that of turkey to try to work something out with hamas? >> well, it's a reasonable question. obviously, one that secretary kerry thought. if turkey could create working with the u.s., a stable situation in gaza, if turkey could deliver negotiators among the gazan within hamas or any other faction that could negotiate the kind of cease-fire and longer term arrangements for gaza that would lead to stability, i would have no quarrel with it but there is no evidence that is possible. what is unfortunate here is that in april, secretary kerry recognized that in the agreement between fatah, the more moderate palestinian faction, and hamas,
for fatah and the palestinian authority to take control in gaza, which they agreed to do, was the opportunity to negotiate something longer lasting. i think my biggest regret, gene, is secretary kerry turned away from that sensible longer term program that would actually get at what is wrong and went for the very short term 24-hour cease-fire which, as we have seen, is falling apart because there isn't a structure yet that can create stability. >> okay. we are going to get to the other crisis, foreign policy crisis, the downing of malaysia airlines flight 17 and russia now pushing back against sanctions and saying it will only embolden in a moment. i want to get to domestic politic as well. a follow-up to a story we talked about yesterday. new york governor andrew cuomo is pushing back hard against allegations his office interfered with a political ethics commission one he put in
place and stems from a front page article last week in "the new york times" which alleges cuomo's office squashed certain subpoenas that would have looked into the governor's own dealings. the governor emphatically denies this and saying no proof. one to a media firm connected to new york's democratic party. now one of the firm's three co-chairs at the center of the "times" story fitzpatrick is claiming that the panel was, indeed independent. he says, quote, the bottom line is that nobody interfered with me or my co-chairs. governor cuomo quick to praise the press conference yesterday in a news conference in buffalo. >> when you look at the facts, this moreland commission performed exactly the function they were supposed to perform. we passed a law that happen brought historic reform to the state. it was an overwhelming success and the commissioners have not gotten the credit that they
deserve. independent. they were talking to people from the second floor. of course, they were. of course they were and they were talking to people from the senate and the assembly and the good government groups. it's not -- independence is will never talk to anyone, it's that they exercised their independent judgment. >> but despite yesterday's denials, e-mails obtained by "the times" showed, quote, mr. fitzpatrick had privatelily expressed frustration with meddling by the governor's office and cuomo needs to understand this is an independent commission and needs to be treated as such. yesterday, the governor disputed "the times" characterization of the remarks. >> read it again. >> the second floor needs to understand this is an independent commission and needs to be treated as such. >> okay. so what he is saying, at some
point in time, is larry is having a conversation with him and larry is advocating a point. that is true. follow the movie to the conclusion. and what does chairman fitzpatrick say? no. resoundingly, no. what does the chairman's actions show? no. resoundingly, no! because he rejected the request! the rejection is ioion is ipso statement of independence because he said no. and he could, and he did. if you had watched the movie to the end, the name of the movie would have been "independence." you named it "inference."
>> all right. so, sam, i special to governor cuomo. most of it was off the record last night about this because he saw our very heated conversation here on the show. also, we were sort of having a hard time getting through the quote, his very defensive quote about the commission that he created. but he says while "the times" is making a conclusion, that doesn't necessarily say it's true and that they have gone too far in their conclusion. while it may look like you can make a connection, you actually can't. and even the members of the panel say that the commission was independent. anybody? >> i mean, the question, i guess, is how much influence can you exert without the panel actually responding to your influence and does that matter? cuomo is saying the panel was ultimately independent because they said no to the request but the request was still made and influencing meddling in its own
right. >> why can't a request be made? >> it depends how you want to -- do you want the commission to be completely independent from the other parts of the government? and i think when you establish, most people when they establish an ethics commission, yeah, you don't want anybody meddling in their influences and you want them to investigate and not have any contact with the outside world. boom. but cuomo is saying there is a gray area and that they do need to talk to other elements of government and they need to talk to other officials to do their work. i think part of the problem is cuomo has he is a secretive governor the entire time and now he is speaking out, people have a tough time sort of reconciling -- >> i will say my own personal, i would like -- i would love for him to come on. it's one thing to do a press conference really far away. i understand. we talked about the different reasons why he doesn't really want to do a lot of interviews right now. but i'm wondering if he should. you know? and it would help a lot because it seems incredibly defensive.
sort of pushing back saying, don't you understand what this looks like? >> this is someone who has tried to control the narrative around him from day one. and i think doing an interview in this form sort of counterintuitive everything he has done as governor and it shows. this is someone who did interfere in the broadest sense of the world in the ethics commission and that is someone who likes to have a control of the environs around him. >> governor cuomo came into the office i'm going to clean up albany and new york and said it over and over and over again and that was the whole impetus for his campaign. now if he can clean up albany unless it pertains to him is what the problem is. gene, you read through "the new york times" piece this morning. his office says to "the times" a patient staffed by the executive cannot investigate the executive. so then "the new york times" asked governor cuomo about that apparent contradiction there. he said i never said it couldn't
investigate me. see, facts matter, even for "the new york times." it appears his own office can't quite get the story straight. >> yeah. it's very confusing. and one wondering about, you know, that -- the question you were jug talking about, why is governor cuomo, why is his style so secretive and why is everything so behind closed doors? especially the workings of a commission that is supposed to clean up all of the corruption and problems in albany. you would think that at least he would be more forthcoming and sort of open about -- about how this is working, what he is trying to accomplish and how he is doing it, and i think that just generates more suspicion and makes people wonder what this is really about. >> you know, the secretiveness, i think, comes off what appears to be a reticence to be tv interviews because potentially he might not want to get involved in the presidential politics conversation.
2016 might be waiting or ready for hillary, depending on where he has been. you know what? i think he should do an interview on this. i told him that. i really do. i think that this is taking a life of its own. still ahead on "morning joe," everything you wanted to know about richard nixon, not pertaining to watergate. historian douglas brinkley is here with thousands of hours of audio from the 37th president. a decisive ruling in donald sterling's bid to block the sale of the l.a. clippers but is it finally enough to stop the defiant owner? and espn stephen a. smith and his apology for his controversial comments on domestic violence which sent the ladies of "the view" especially whoopi goldberg into a very provocative and heated discussion. first, bill karins with a check on the forecast. bill? >> mika, did you see the pictures from outside of boston yesterday? a tornado? >> oh, my gosh. yeah. >> we had a tornado in connecticut two days ago and then yesterday up there outside of boston. this is very rare.

of the conversation, then there is really not much to talk about, to be honest with you. >> it's not just men hitting women. i got into a fair number of scraps when i was a kid. my father and teachers always said afterwards, you don't hit anybody. you walk away. >> men don't hit women and women don't hit men. you don't hit anybody. you leave it there. >> i would say it's one thing to defend yourself if a man or woman is coming at you. if you're ray rice and you can bench press 400 pounds and you can suppress the woman and you don't need to knock her out. >> the big problem here is the two-game suspension for ray rice which seems so lenient compared to anybody else. >> you suspend him for far more games than other people were suspended for their -- so. >> all right. let's go to japan on a slightly different note. an actress with a background in

peak of american leadership, if not the pinnacle of all human achievement. homage must be paid. we want iowa to be the envy of the whole nation he told me in the parking lot. not just because we have the first in the nation caucuses, no, of course, not. certainly natural for the governor of new jersey to check out the cows here in the middle of july. iowa is going in the right direction branstad continued and the rest of the country is going in the wrong direction. while he is milking this political little sort of first stop thing that iowa has going, mark? >> yes, he is. the thing that i wanted to look at was the anthropology of the early state. we have had iowa and hamp as the early primary states for a long time but in case of terry branstad the long time governor has been running the state on and off since the '80s it is a study of incredible exhulltation

sanctions. they will target defense, energy, and financial industries in russia. moscow, however, remains defiant. the country's foreign minister downplayed the impact of the sanctions and warned they will would only make russia stronger and more independent. in another sign of stepped-up tensions, moscow is now accused of violating a 1987 nuclear missile treaty by testing cruise missiles as early as 2008. u.s. officials say president obama addressed the issue in a letter to putin, calling it a, quote, very serious matter. meanwhile, ukrainian investigators say flight 17's black box has revealed a massive explosive decompression brought down the jet and the shrapnel destroyed the plane. u.s. forces are making their way toward the crash site after another fighting with russian rebels. kiev says they gained controlled of two towns in eastern ukraine and more battles under way. the clashes are being blamed for
50 deaths between the two sides and 800 civilians have been killed there since mid april. the newest human rights chief is calling for a full investigation who shot down flight 17, adding that it may be considered a war crime. andrea, i want to start with you here. set the scene for us, first, in terms of russia's response, at least in their words, to the sanctions. >> well, russia will be tough rhetorically and doesn't mean the sanctions won't hurt. i want to look at the details of these sanctions when they are finally explained to all of us later today, because up until now, they have been giving france a pass, a waiver for arm sales that were already agreed to. any time you grandfather arm sales to russia, that is a big loophole in these sanctions. in any case, it is described to me as the toughest set of sanctions yet and it's clearly getting russia's attention. the fact is that europe is pretty organized now by the
president and in sync with the united states because russia has been firing live artillery across the border. there is plenty of evidence of that. plus marbling its forces along the border to move more sophisticated efforts into the milit militia. that is being more aggressive. >> julie, conventional wisdom the last week or so that european countries were hesitant to go along with tougher sanctions because of the impact the sanctions might have on their own economies. it looks like europe, at least for now, has moved past that? >> that's right. the fact of the matter is that, you know, it's a two-way street and, you know, as much as europe is dependent on russia for certain things, like energy, russia is dependent upon europe. it gets 40% of its food and medicine from europe. so it goes both ways. so if one party shuts off --
basically, the consensus is also the russian economy would crumble a lot faster and much more devastating fashion than the european economy would. >> where is this going to go? what is the strongest measure that can be taken on the part of europe to unequivocally depend what is happening. >> it is a big issue and i think what europe is scared of is the kind of the wildcard that is putin's behavior. he has shown time and again that he can do really unpredictable things. things that, you know, will hurt his opponent but also hurt him, but he decides it's worth the pain. so i think what europe is scared of is that russia will turn off the energy tap, which, you know, for some european countries, they get as little as 10% of their energy from russia. some eu countries get as much as 100 of their energy from russia
so that would really hurt. >> the netherlands which is most severely affected by the tragedy of the malaysian airliner and the horrible impact on the dutch. the netherlands their pension funds are all tied up in shell and other major corporations so they are going to take a huge hit from this from whatever sanctions do take place. it's also finance. it's the banking in the uk. the brits have been tough about this but when putin was first flexing his muscles toward crimea everybody was caving in because they are integrated they are with russia economically. >> bobby, the other sort of level of thinking in this is a point you just brought up and that is if russia gives more sophisticated weapons to the rebels, do we do the same for the ukrainian military and start jumping in that way? >> if russia has gone to the point where it's shelling across the border in support of the rebels, then what -- how can we make sure the ukrainian military doesn't get completely pounded
on this? andrea, has there been any discussion on that in d.c.? >> more of the risks. >> yeah. there is real concern about the risks because there have been principally republicans on the hill, the usual hard-line conservative arms committee folks like mccain and graham who have been saying why aren't we arming the ukrainians. oerds is the fear at the pentagon and elsewhere. once you give the sophisticated weapons to the ukraine government, you'll have the same possible tragic result that you had the separatists. they are not really ready to run these things that you're thenes situation. the best thing help with the ukrainians on the intelligence and see where the weapons are on the opposition side. the analysis is that russia has escalated so dramatically in the last couple of weeks because the kiev government was making progress against the separatists in eastern ukraine and gaining
territory and that is why the fighting. the fighting was even as keir simmons was showing us yesterday, they were fighting right around the crash site. >> julie, there is a level of sanctions the west and the world community could do to take putin to pause and step back. up until now the sanctions have only emboldened him and allowed to say to his own people it's us against the world. >> i don't think it's -- in a certain sense, it has stopped him from doing certain things. you know, there are people in moscow who say that for a period of about four days in april, russian troops were poised to go across the border into ukraine and that it was because of sanctions that he didn't give them the order to go across the border. publicly, though, the problem with sanctions also is the more you sanction vladimir putin, the less he can actually give you what you want. because of all the image that he has portrayed in russia for the
last, you know, what, 14 years he is standing up to the west. the more the west pressures him to do something, the less likely he is to do it. so unless there is kind of something happening behind the scenes where they are offering putin an off ramp where he can, you know, tout something at home as a win, as something that he was able to bring home, and to get out of it, you know, on his terms and to save face, i don't think we are going to see much movement on the russian side. >> julie ioffe, thank you very much. we turn to the middle east. the crisis between israeli and hamas in its fourth week. hopes for a resolution app to be dwindling. israeli hit key hamas locations overnight. the targets including hamas tv station and the home of one of the group's top leaders. the strikes came as israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu delivered a national tv address.
he warned of an extended conflict and said, quote, there is no war more just than this. israeli and hamas are trading blame for an attack that left nine palestinian children dead and dozens injured. palestinian officials say israeli air strikes hit a park as children were playing on swings. israeli, however, says militants in gaza fired the rockets which failed to reach the intended targets and that brings the death toll to more than 1,100 palestinians, according to officials there. 53 israeli soldiers have been killed, including four yesterday, as well as three civilians in israeli. secretary of state john kerry is facing criticism now in the israeli press for pushing a cease-fire that reports claim would be more beneficial to hamas. secretary kerry is standing by its actions. >> make no mistake, when the people of israeli are rushing to bomb shelters, when innocent israeli and palestinian teenagers are abducted and murdered, when hundreds of innocent civilians have lost
their lives, i will, and we will make no apologies for our engagement. >> andrea, we had had a discussion with david ignatius who has a pretty blistering piece on john kerry. >> he did. >> yeah. there is sort of the concept that he put on the table about sort of this giving hamas kind of more of a platform. but i have to say i'm not sure what anyone can do at this point. that would be productive when you hear what all three -- leaders on all sides of this are saying. >> well, what kerry was trying to do with the support and sort of alliance of ban ki-moon and the u.n. and many other people in the world is get a cease-fire to stop the killing and that was viewed in israeli as a way of, you know, tying their hands because they felt they had to deal with the tunnels, they had to deal with the long-range rockets. and so i have never frankly seen
such blistering personal criticism on the left and the right in the israeli press. the israeli people, 87% according to channel 10's polling yesterday, the prime time top station, the top channel in israeli, 87% popularity what the government is doing and pushing it now to be even tougher. so kerry is just being blistered in israeli and it will inevitably hurt his effectiveness in the short term. he was already being blamed for the long term peace negotiations for nine months that, you know, collapsed. i think that, you know, susan rice came our show yesterday and defended him and the white house is trying to rally around. reports he is still trying to resurrect some sort of cease-fire but the focus now i'm told is on a short-term cease-fire, not on the long-term relationships. of course, ignatius criticism is that in some way, he has empowered hamas by going to
qatar and hamas sponsors and trying to engage them. >> i want to bring in some washington nbc news chief white house correspondent and host of "the daily rundown," chuck todd. we will get to a couple of political stories with you but sam first has a question. >> we have gone through a list of horribles in the world basically from ukraine to the middle east. we haven't even touched on the ebola virus. when i talk to white house officials they have a calm about it they are on top of these things, but it seems pretty clear that a narrative is developing of a world that is basically out of control. from your conversations with the administration officials, how are they prioritizing these issues and grasping with the sheer number of them all? >> funny you say that. i had the very similar conversation it sounds like that you had and it's my understanding that president himself is trying to project more calm and some on his staff are eyes wide open saying when the global chaos going to stop
and the president sort of trying to say, hey, this is about a globally connected world. we see more of the problem, more of them are at our doorsteps because there's not many and because the united states is the only super power. he is trying to project calm with his own staff to sort of keep everybody at bay. i think as for the prioritization they see it right now as two priorities and that is you see where john kerry is. there is a reason they sent kerry to the middle east. a, what is going on with russia and the decision they made. they got the europeans on board and we will find out in about a month. i think you have to realistically give the sanctions about a month and we will find out in about a month if what the u.s. has been calling for some time which is serious sanctions from europe, will it actually change putin's behavior in ukraine? >> chuck, on the question of israeli. obviously, now the israeli press and some members of the government there have been
openly critical of john kerry, openly critical of the obama administration. what is happening privately between the united states, the white house specifically, and israeli to try to mend that fence a little bit? >> well, look. you already have the ambassador here who is the israeli ambassador of the united states. he is very close to netanyahu. he has been trying to ratchet the rhetoric back here look. there has been distrust between the obama administration and netanyahu's administration basically from the beginning since president obama came in and it's never really -- the rifts have never really healed and there is time they scab over, but the wounds never go away and it's very easy to start up. and remember who the missing player is. the last time there was a hot war between israeli and gaza, you had a member of the muslim brotherhood in charge of egypt, mohammed morsi. regardless of everybody's criticisms of morsi as a leader inside egypt and these other
issues, on this particular issue he was somebody that helped broker the last major truce between gaza and israeli and right now egypt is not a legitimate player in the eyes of hamas. >> chuck, we want to get you in on some domestic politics here. michelle nunn's campaign brushing off the leaks of her victory plan in the state of georgia that calls for the candidate to spend 80% of her time raising money. conservative national review released a atrophy of her strategy memos giving a rare glimpse in inside a campaign. her campaign highlighted what they saw as her biggest vulnerabilities including running the points of life when irs filing show may have provided money to an organization accused of having loose ties to hamas. also a memo highlighting what the campaign saw as an opportunity in the jewish community saying, quote, michelle's position on israeli were largely determined the level support there adding that her message was tbd, nunn is
locked in a tight race with david perdue. her campaign doesn't dispute the authenticity of the document writing in a statement, quote. chuck, these plans exist on every campaign. >> of course. >> is we have got one in the spotlight this morning. >> absolutely. look. this is why you hire political consultants and you can them in some way do due diligence on yourself. that is what this was. this sort of, you know, what are her vulnerabilities and what should be working on and focus on and how are the republicans going to attack her. in many ways exactly what you pay a political consultant to come up with is to, you know, look through her background and all of this stuff. here it is. it's the equivalent in football terms of the new england patriots getting a copy of the
new york jets playbook although i guess you could argue the jets playbook they could have and it wouldn't matter because it's the jets. the point is it's seeing the other team's playbook. the republicans are pouncing saying she is all image conscience and she is trying to portray she is new to politics and another image want that beel this stuff. it's an uphill battle to run as a democrat in georgia and she is trying to be authentic. in this day and age when authenticity matters this makes it look like oh, my god, it's esche everybody's worst stereotype what politicians look like. the seen in "simpsons." >> gene, 80% of -- i guess it
sounds crazy, but -- >> welcome to reality. >> might she be the only one that does that? >> it's how it works these day. dialing for dollars 24/7 basically. it looks kind of crazy and artificial when it's all written down like this but i think chuck is absolutely right. this is what candidates do and what political consultants do and this is what it's like to run for office these days. especially for a senate seat. >> the major embarrassment might not be for michelle nunn. it's how money driven the political process is. >> everybody, actually. andrea mitchell, thank you. we will be watching "andrea mitchell reports" at noon on msnbc. chuck todd, see you after "morning joe." the cuban missile crisis retold. one of the definitive moments in u.s. history. up next, the quest for

♪ president obama has been briefed on the deadly outbreak of the ebola virus in west africa has that left nearly 700 people dead. a hospital in nigeria has been shut down and quarantined after an infection there. joining us now on the set is nbc news chief medical, dr. nancy snyderman. we are trying to put into perspective the risk of its spreading and what is happening
there because it is a resurgence. >> he let's talk about ebola. it's a brilliant spectacular virus in that it kills magnificently and shockingly people get sick very quickly and nausea and high fever and 104 and is 105 and have kidney fail and die. it's like a big wildfire but it's not a smart virus like hiv and doesn't now how to get to one person to another and keep itself live. we normally see these ebola outbreaks has are isolated and go kaboom. now we have seen an ebola outbreak jump a border and last week a man who had a fever got on an airplane and ended up in another country and died several days later. so, for the first time, the world health organization, the centers for disease control is speaking to foreign countries to
sort of talk about border control, screening passengers before getting on airplanes. no doubt this is very little risk to the united states. however, it does mean that if you are an aide worker and traveled to western africa and you talk to your doctor, where you've been in the world now has to be part of your basic history and physical. it can no longer be, well, i just had a sore throat and fever for a few days without saying, have you been out of the country? >> oh, my gosh. and also the person with the fever what came and then died. >> right. >> you were talking about screening? >> right. as you and i in maknow screenin to get on an airplane is minimal at best if any screening at all. health care workers saying maybe let's take your temperature. you just don't get on that plane. if a patient were to arrive in
the united states and look like that, that person would be immediately isolated and hospitalized. the only way to really shut this down is treat it like a wildfire. if there are brush fires popping here and there, you have to make sure they are all out. the challenge is, especially for this person who got on the airplane and maybe came into contact with at least we know 65 people, follow that chain link fence everywhere, find out all of those people he may have been in contact with and you have to make sure you do reasonable surveillance. >> how does the virus spread human-to-human? >> it's very much direct contact. saliva, vomit, diarrhea, maybe semen, we are not sure. but because aide workers when you see them in the field are in these hazmat suits. >> right. >> what concerns us is one of the american women who is infected and now being treated, her job was just to take off the hazmat suits and help bleach down the guys getting out. she was not even in direct contact. so the death rate from ebola is
as high as 90% in. in this current outbreak it's hovering around 68%. the idea is jump in early because if you can stop the kidneys from going into failure. >> we will get to this new study. gene has a quick question. >> my question was just that, nancy. first world medical treatment, do we think that death rate would be lower than the 90% or even the 60%? >> probably, gene. so what we are running into right now is people, particularly in guinea and sierra leone haven't seen this before because this is a new illness in these countries. at the same time, they are seeing ebola kill neighbors and friends and family, the red cross is coming in and catholic charities is coming in. some villagers are seeing western medicine come in at the same time family members are dying and stoke the fear that outsiders have brought the illness. so that need for western
medicine and sort of old beliefs and -- i'm going to say, you know, like the voodoo kind of home medicine that you see in many villages, it's all colliding. so aide workers have talked about 17-year-olds with machetes stopping their cars, cutting down trees, and putting up road blocks to keep aide workers out. so they really want aide workers to work with local elders who are respected to try to demystify this. it's horrific. and i should say in this part of the world, ritual bathing of the dead is part of the custom but if you touch someone who is dead you're going to get the virus. >> let's now turn to this new study from the journal of the american college of cardiology on running. >> fascinating study. you know, we have been told before to run -- to work out an hour a day and you're going to live longer. impossible for most people. >> right. >> this study looked at over 55,000 people and showed that
for runners, the reduction of heart disease and stroke is 30% or so. but even for the average person, if you run five minutes a day, you can reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke by almost 50%. so that use it or lose it, a little bit is better than nothing is significant. >> five minutes at like a dead sprint? >> no, just five minutes a day. >> sam wants to know how. >> how bad can i run? >> mika, i'm not a runner. never loved it and never got that endorphin high and never figured out what is so great to it. mika love to get out there and run. i would like to wave them on. but i am very conscious of how much i walk a day. if you're not a runner, at least get in 10,000 steps. on the weekend, 25,000 steps. >> i would think that is doable for a lot of folks and it's really nice and probably has the same benefit. >> about three years ago, yes. >> 25,000 steps seems like a lot. >> on a weekend, absolutely
doable. >> i think edition to bars. >> make sure you're drinking the dark alcohol because that stuff is good for your heart. >> all i drink. >> nancy, it's basically 30 to 60 minutes a week. let's say you took the low end 30 minutes a week. you could run twice a week, 15 minutes? that is doable for everybody. >> i do something every day. there was a study about three or four years ago looking at very fit men with no risk factors for heart disease and stroke. their jobs, however, were desk jobs. and they found that sitting at a desk was an independent risk factor for having heart attack. >> why you need a treadmill desk. have you seen those? >> al roker has one. he walks all day long. >> we should get them here. >> show it on the air. >> everyone else is on their treadmills watching. everyone says i watch you from my treadmill every morning. i feel jealous! >> trip on them. i like that. >> nancy, thank you so much. great to see you. ahead outrage in new york city as residents in a luckry

take it from there. that affair did happen with kennedy, correct? >> i really did have an affair with a 19-year-old but my fictional 19-year-old he does not have an affair with but she is asked to pretend to have an affair with the president using his reputation as it were as the cover so that she can ferry messages between him and an official of the soviet embassy. >> when we look back on the history of what that time meant for the world internationally it was a big chess game and trying to figure it out and a lot of it went with the national thought leaders who could think like the luck of trying to figure out the situation. why does chess play to prominently for you in your books? you say you're an amateur at chess, which i doubt. >> no, i'm an absolute amateur. but what chess involves is figuring out what your opponent is going to do and not letting your opponent know what you are going to do.
when you look at foreign policy crises today and there are a lot of them and a lot of people criticizing the president or supporting him and a lot of the criticism i think is undeserved. foreign policy is hard. but the one piece of advice that i would give, if ever asked, wanting to learn from this crisis what kennedy did, he kept guessing. whether kennedy was willing to push the button or not. we still don't know. keeping his opponent off balance that way and keeping his cards so close to his vest and his close advisers didn't know i think was the successful completion of the crisis. >> discussion of the difficulties of writing and melding the two together. >> i think written seven or eight works of nonfiction and it is my sixth novel. you're right. to me writing novels is harder and writing historical novels is
particularly difficult. it appeals to me as a scholar. i get to do the research and i try in this novel to bring washington, d.c. to 1962 to life and it all takes place in europe and so on but i try to bring the city to life as it really would have been. i have a a lot of real historical characters in the novels, not only the kennedy brothers and national security adviser but people like bobby fisher, the chess champion and others. to me half the fun of it is trying to make sure i have to the extent possible my facts right and that takes a lot of time. >> why not go full nonfiction and retell the story of what happened from a purely historical end? >> but i like to tell stories. people like to read the stories. >> you have a story to tell. >> i do. >> i want to bring you to real life for a second. as you have written in bloomberg view about the corridor controversy here in new york city and you write in part this. everyone is mad about the poor door. this is the name critics bestowed upon the separate entrance for the affordable housing units on the western
side of manhattan. it is a little outrageous but some of it may be optical. the separate entrance for the cheaper units which is hardly heard of in manhattan real estate is part of a consequence of the very policies that new york is trying to enforce. so the title of this is "the poor door concept is nothing new in u.s. cities." i don't think that makes it okay. >> it's not okay. >> it's not okay. >> no, it's not okay. it's a terrible thing, but new york is one of the most economically segregated cities in the united states. well studied. already in new york city, there is an enormous separation between where the with to do live and where the poor live. >> right but to have the poor people who live in the affordable part of that building bringing in a separate door is bringing us to a past time. >> i'm agreeing. the way to resolve this, is number one, the economic
segregation in new york we have the sections of the city that are rich and sections that are poor and tend to not overlap with each other is number one. second the way to solve the problem of affordable housing is not only to reduce some of the regulations that make it expensive to build housing but to get people with actual money they can go out and find a place to live that meets their standards rather than some standard that was designed by the city itself. >> stephen, in talking about this specific building on the upper west side and also to the divide in the city, a lot of people being priced out of living in manhattan directly. if i understand about the building, the residents in one section say the higher cost apartments are not going to share the same amenities and same floors. it's like two separate buildings built in one structural space so that these builders are getting the big tax exemptions and kick-backs from the city? >> i agree. what i would do i would stomp giving the builders those benefits. what the builders do with these
benefits and not only build separate spaces and extra benefits to sell off for millions of dollars. what the city is doing for this program is subsidizing the construction from luxury housing where builders make billions of dollars. >> >> you have a lot of buildings in manhattan have the separate entrances we both object to and the only way we are going to stop that is stop giving them the subsidy which they are happy to get. >> why put the affordable housing units in the building? >> more housing can be built you may have someone else put in -- >> good to have you back on the show. >> a pleasure. >> up next, will voters hurt the democrats this november? we are going to explore in the mojo polling place. plus the nixon tapes you never heard.

that is too much. all right, to politics now. there are some circles, which is just as funny, sometimes, there are some circles of the republican party that would like to see mitt romney make another run for the presidency in two years. and as "morning joe" polling analyst derek kips reports, there's a whole group of voters who wish the former governor were in the white house right now. >> it appears some americans may be having buyer's remorse about their decision to re-elect president barack obama to a second term. despite the fact that president obama beat mitt romney in 2012, 51-47 in the popular vote, a recent cnn poll shows if the election were held today, mitt romney would be the people's choice, topping the president, 53-44. and according to gallup's recent survey, the president's approval rating has flatlined at 43%. it's a number of that has the gop hoping to capitalize come november. >> the cnn poll further reveals that 45% of americans believe that president obama has expanded his presidential power too much, with only 3 in 10 saying the president's actions have been about right.
however, despite the president's low approval rating, the president doesn't seem to buy the gop's legislative agenda of lawsuits and impeachment either. by a 57-41 margin, americans say house republicans should not file the lawsuit challenging the president's health plan. with even fewer supporting the gop's growing calls for impeachment. >> if the gop truly hopes to capitalize on the president's weak approval numbers in the midterms, lawsuits and impeachment may not be the best option to do so. guys, back to you. >> okay, gene, just chime in on the buyer's remorse. is it fair? >> well, look, this is that phase of a presidency where people have seen him for six years and things are not going well in the world and, but they don't like the republicans either. i think, just not at a great move. so that's where i think we are. >> we're not in a good place. up next, andrew cuomo defends the ethics commission that he commissioned, as a new report suggests that his office isn't completely free of guilt.

flares have turned night into broad daylight in the skies over the gaza strip. >> today was supposed to be a cease-fire. it didn't work. >> an explosion on a busy street where children were playing. >> israel says it was a stray hamas rocket. >> hamas doesn't accept that, and uses the attack on the children as a reason to go on the offensive. >> intense fighting prevented investigators reaching the crash site of mh-17 for the second day running. >> much more substantial sanctions will come into place across broad sectors of the russian economy. >> two americans are fighting for their lives, infected with the deadly ebola virus. >> the spread of a dangerous illness like ebola is no longer someone else's problem. >> last july, governor andrew cuomo created a special commission to tackle public corruption. >> and now, a three-month
examination by "the new york times" claims that governor cuomo's office deeply compromised the panel's work. >> if you had watched the movie to the end, the name of the movie would have been "independence." you named it "interference." >> welcome back to "morning joe." sam stein, eugene robinson still with us. joining us now, columnist for "bloomberg view," al hunt, in new york. i'm confused. first time on the set here in new york. >> is it really? >> it's usually a d.c. thing with al. >> my dream has been to be with mika in new york and finally -- >> that's one way to put it. >> and with steve. >> what about me, al. >> don't leave sam out. >> former mccain campaign strategist and msnbc political analyst, steve schmidt is here as well. nice to have you on board. >> thank you, mika. let's start with breaking news, as the crisis between israel and hamas enters its fourth week, nbc news has confirmed moments ago that two
u.n. staff members were killed in gaza today. the new barrage of strikes came as israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu delivered a national tv address, warning of an extended conflict there. joining us now from tel aviv, nbc news correspondent, kate snowe with the latest. kate? >> reporter: good morning, mika. secretary of state john kerry is still pushing all the parties for an end to the bloodshed here, but i have to tell you, he faces an uphill battle in israel, because look at what the public and the press are saying about john kerry. here's the headline in this morning's paper, it says obama and kerry are playing with fire. overnight, more explosions in gaza. this morning, the main power plant took a hit, columns of smoke are still rising. israel confirmed ten soldiers died yesterday, pushing the number of military deaths over 50, the highest casualty count since a war in the north in 2006. that's only increasing israel's
resolve to keep going, and it helps explain why it's been so tough for john kerry to negotiate a peace deal. >> i just want to say a very few words, quickly about the events in gaza. >> kerry's been soundly criticized in the israeli media for the way he pushed for a cease-fire. a columnist for the liberal newspaper says senior government officials in jerusalem described carri kerry's cease-fire proposal as a strategic attack. >> it's not just that kerry and the obama administration is taking the side of the palestinians, but in the arab world in general over israel. and the feeling is that this america led by this president won't actually be there when it matters for israel's security needs. >> one paper called kerry a nudnnik. >> somebody coming again and again and again and doesn't do much. >> reporter: the coffee crowd in tel aviv thinks kerry is out of his league. >> he thinks he can make some agreement, he can write some nice words, some nice statements. come on. get real. >> reporter: the obama
administration spent monday bending over backwards to defend kerry. >> the reality is that john kerry, on behalf of the united states, has been working every step of the way with israel in support of our shared interests. >> reporter: so here's the situation. a lot of analysts are worried that kerry, with all this kerry bashing going on, is going to lose some of his power to even negotiate some kind of cease-fire, let alone a lasting peace over here. and meantime, while all the diplomats are talking, more than 70 palestinians were killed in that fighting overnight. >> sam stein? >> kate, i had a question for you. the israel ambassador to the united states yesterday spoke out in defense, actually, of john kerry, and tried to minimize the distance between the netanyahu government and the secretary of state. do you pick up any sense that the israeli government thinks that the talk has been
overblown, or what is the imperative for them in having the ambassador come out and saying something like that? >> reporter: publicly, they still want to talk about their alliance with the u.s. they need america as an ally. behind the scenes, it's harder to say. the sense from here, when you talk to the people, at least, is that israelis, they're not giving up. they don't want a cease-fire. they're not going to stop this offensive, because they strongly believe that those tunnels still exist and that they haven't yet demilitaryized hamas. that's the mood on the street that benjamin netanyahu is dealing with here. and of course, he has to balance that with the diplomacy. >> nbc's kate snowe in tel aviv, thanks so much. al, you heard netanyahu in the past 24 hours pulling this just war. kerry, obviously, the secretary of state in the crosshairs of criticism. and you know, at what point, really, is he to blame for continued fighting, when all sides of this are so at each other's throats, literally, and show no sign of backing down. it's almost like the criticism
of kerry is an excuse to keep fighting, instead of to listen and to stop. >> it's kind of hard to blame john kerry for -- >> for trying. >> for fighting in the middle east. he may have made a tactical mistake. i don't know enough about what's on the ground there. but to say that john kerry is not a friend of israel. to say that john kerry is somehow trying to help hamas is just utter and complete nonsense. >> it's ludicrous. >> and i think for the israeli -- those israelis who perpetuate that are going to find it self-defeating. >> they're not only perpetuating it, this time it's being stirred up as an excuse not to consider a cease-fire, which, i mean, at this point, we're looking at day after day after day of video of civilians and children, getting caught in these massacre. >> i think the key quote from yesterday was when netanyahu talked about continuing this operation until they closed all of the tunnels from gaza into israel. that could be a serious and long-term operation in terms of the war hostilities. and it suggests that israeli is
in this mind-set where they want to, you know, figuratively, mow the lawn, chop down hamas's military capabilities for now, for a couple of years, and they'll have to end up coming back. and my question for everyone who talks about this is what is the long-term strategic objective of israel here? i'm having trouble figuring out what they're trying to do in the long run. what replaces hamas as the military outfit of the palestinians? >> and does it spread to the west bank? >> steve? >> look, the reason there is fighting now, today, is 100% entirely the fault of hamas. this is a terrorist organization. the lobbing of missiles into israel, the attacks on the civilian populations in israel have precipitated this crisis. and the strategic goal of the israeli nation, of the israeli army is to demilitaryize, to disarm, to defang hamas. and they have sustained casualties, great sacrifice on the part of the israeli people. and it should be the job of the
government of the united states in this situation, to communicate with absolute moral clarity that we will stand side-by-side with israel. that we will not give cover to those who draw false equivalence with the two sides. the images on television are tragic, because all war is tragic. but the israeli people don't live in the fantastical world of washington, d.c. the threats that they face are real, they are lethal, and the people that you just saw being interviewed in cafes have a visceral understanding of that in a way that our policy makers can't seem to at an intellectual level. >> and i don't want to start a -- because every conversation usually results in an emotional back and forth, and i don't want to get there. i think, in theory, that's fine. but you can't just ignore the severe humanitarian crisis that's going on in gaza, as well as the civilian casualties. we can't have a foreign policy
in a vacuum. yes, it makes sense to stand with israel. yes, israel has vulnerability from hamas. but at the same time, there are clearly issues in elements of the palestinian cause that resonate with the american public, and certainly with the european public and the world public that can't just be wiped away. >> who is that you're negotiating with? >> that's the great question. >> when the people that you are trying to do a deal with do not recognize at any level your legitimacy -- >> nothing, exactly. >> the hamas chief said -- >> that's true! >> gene, jump in? >> the question, to me, steve, is, okay, who are you negotiating with? well, if you don't want to negotiate with hamas, because that's the opposite party, under any circumstances, and the only way to get at hamas is essentially through the people, the civilians who live in gaza, there's a problem there. and we can't ignore that problem, that if the only way you can get at hamas is, you
know, killing thousands, potentially, before this is over, of civilians in gaza, there's a real question there, that we can't just look past. and you know, there's a question of proportionality here and i think it's, you know, i can understand, you know, i know what israelis feel, i know how under attack they feel, with good reason. but there is a question of proportionality. and in the end, can you bomb hamas into oblivion? can you totally get rid of hamas? and if so, isn't it replaced by something very much like hamas? >> or worse. >> or worse. >> well, look, at the end of the day, you have a densely packed civilian population. hamas operates within that civilian population. they use that civilian population to hide weapons
systems, to hide rocket systems. the israeli army does everything it can conceivably do to avoid civilian casualties in its operation. this is a moral country. this is a moral fighting force. what is happening in any war, where there are civilian casualties, where there is collateral damage, it is very tragic. but now that this has begun, it must be finished. >> sure. >> and the israeli army must be supported by this country in its quest to do as much damage to disarm hamas and to demilitaryize them, to degrade them, and to weaken them as much as possible or these losses will have been in vain. and the secretary of state should not be drawing false equivalence between the two sides. >> i don't think he did draw -- he did not draw a false equivalence, steve. that's just not right. he tried to get a cease-fire. you can argue that was a mistake. >> but to what -- >> to end violence. >> but the strategic goal here should be the degrading of
hamas, not the -- the strategic goal is not the achievement of a cease-fi cease-fire. a cease-fire achieved without a degraded hamas means we will likely see more military con fli flikt in the future. now that this has begun, there is only one way for it to end, and that is for hamas to be defanged to the largest stent as possible. >> we're saying, what happens? what are the ramifications of a defanged hamas? as eugene possible, i don't think any of us know this, but is it a possibility that what replaces hamas in gaza could end up being worse. it could be a series of terrorist groups or terror cells that we have no control over, that provide no social services to the people of gaza. those are the questions we're not grappling with. we have a very short-term mind-set about this conflict when we should be thinking about the long-term. >> it's entirely possible that it could be worse. and if it is worse, then the israeli army will need to continue into -- >> and here we are. >> this is why these conversations -- >> i want to get two political stories in this block, before we go to break. first this one, u.s. senate
hopeful michelle nun's campaign is brushing off the leak in georgia. it calls for the candidate to spend 80% of her time raising money. the conservative national review released a trove of nunn's international campaign strategies. it highlighted her biggest vulnerabilitie vulnerabilities, including her work, an organization that may have loose ties to hamas. and there's a memo highlighting what the campaign saw as an opportunity in the jewish community. saying, quote, michelle's position on israel will largely determine the level of support, adding that her message was tbd. nunn is currently locked in a tight race with georgia businessman, david perdue. her campaign doesn't dispute the authenticity of the document. writing in a statement, quote, this was a draft of a document
that was written eight months ago. like all good plans, they change. but what hasn't changed is all the more clear today, that michelle's components are going to mischaracterization, to mischaracterize her work and her positions, and part of what we've always done is prepare for the false things that are going to be said. i'm not sure if that's in response to what happened or not, but that's their response. al, are you surprised by anything in the memo when you know the inner workings of politics? >> no, i'm really not. >> i'm not. it hurts, but i'm -- i can't stand that 80% of her time has to be -- >> you wish you didn't have campaigns, where you spend 80% of your time. >> but you do. >> points of light, as i recall, was a george bush foundation, a george bush initiative. look, it's embarrassing and it doesn't help. michelle nunn is a very strong accompanied. is the best single opportunity to win a republican seat. her father is still revered in the state of georgia. he's running with jimmy carter's grandson. and they've got a shot in a red state, in a year that's not going to be -- >> you must have written tons of
these memos. has anyone -- >> what stands out? >> i have a couple of reactions. first off, she's only spending 80% of her time raising money? >> only?! good god! >> i'm serious about this. my line to candidates has always been, you're going to submit about 90% of your time raising money. in that this is a revelation to anybody is just shocking to me. look, this is what american politics is like. candidates spend more than 80% of their time, spend much more like 90% of their time raising must be. and that's how broken the system is. and then the second part of it is, and i've been for a long time now, in a campaign. i just don't hand out paper around the table. everything gets put on the dry erase board. the notion that you're going to put this into long strategic memos and pass out 100 copies is beyond crazy. >> well, this one was accidentally posted online, which is even crazier. >> oh, come on! >> that's how they got it. who would post that online? >> the former campaign aides. >> look, when i was running the
arnold schwarzenegger campaign, we got a call from the l.a. times one day, saying they had hours of taped conversations, we had no idea how they got them. we eventually figured out, with arnold schwarzenegger talking, you know, in, you know, you know, off the cuff. and i love him to death, but let me assure you -- >> that's good stuff. >> -- he's a colorful character. and i always thought hours of arnold schwarzenegger tapes with nothing particularly damaging in the media was the equivalent of a 747 doing an emergency landing in lower manhattan and doing no damage and hurting no one. >> so you can survive this thing. >> you can. >> sam -- >> in 2008, the obama campaign accidentally sent us their district by district plan from february through june. went through every district. and when i called him up and said, it's terrific, they said, you can't print that, and i said, i can, and they said, we have lots of plans, and i said,
send us every one and we'll print every one. >> and they survived. >> i got a memo about how to court a high-profile donor and what it was going to entail and how they were going to talk to the guy. it was what would you expect they wanted to do to a high-profile donor, but it was hugely embarrassing to have something like that revealed in public. i don't know what happened to the donor. i assume he department donate. >> probably ambassador of lu luxembou luxembourg. i remember infamously the in 2008, the giuliani campaign memo about how he was going to run for president was leaked and obviously that didn't turn out well for giuliani. >> we're also following a story with andrew cuomo. you seen this? new york governor andrew cuomo pushing back hard against allegations that his office interfered with a political ethics commission, a commission he himself put in place. it stems from a front-page article last week in "the new york times" which alleges cuomo's office squashed certain subpoenas is that would have looked into the governor's own
dealings. including one to a media firm connected to new york's democratic party. but now, one of the firm's three co-chairs at the center of "the times" story, william j. fitzpatri fitzpatrick, is claiming that the panel was, indeed independent. he says, quote, the bottom line is that no one interfered with me or my co-chairs. but disappoint yesterday's denials, e-mails obtained by "the times" show that fitzpatrick had expressed frustration with meddling with the governor's office. at one point, e-mailing that mr. cuomo's office needs to understand that this is an independent commission and needs to be treated as such. yesterday, the governor disputed "the times" characterization of the remarks. >> read it again. >> the second floor, larry, needs to understand that an independent commission needs to be treated as such. >> okay, so what he's saying is that at some point in time, larry is having a conversation with him and larry is advocating a point. that's what that is saying.
that is true. follow the movie to the conclusion. and what does chairman fitzpatrick say? no, resoundingly, no. what does the chairman's actions show. no. resoundingly no. because he rejected the request. the rejection is ipso facto a statement of independence because he said no. and he could and he did. if you had watched the movie to the end, the name of the movie would have been "independence." you named it "interference." >> okay. so, i want to get steve's take on this. the governor is -- has also said -- i spoke to him on the phone yesterday, most of it off
the record, but denying vehemently that he didn't -- they did not squash subpoenas. so "the times" is making a connection that everyone is running with. and the question is, in terms of looking at his response here and looking at the story as it was laid out, the actual facts making no connections, just the facts, is he in trouble in any way? >> no. and by the way, what i think is, and what he said, i find very compelling. and i think he is correct. and my advice to him would be to speak no more of this matter ever again forever. if the chairman of the commission says that i was not interfered with, and as the governor just went through, and the e-mail to me is dispositive of the fact that he asserted his independence, did not yield to political pressure in a conversation with a political aide who was trying to make a point, and there's no actual evidence, just supposition that
there was a quashing of subpoenas, i don't know what the story is here. >> he didn't squash a subpoena? >> i think the answer is no, there is no evidence that subpoenas were squashed politically. so in the context of the story, you understand why he seems a little bit emotional, what his reaction is on that. but i don't know what the basis of the story and the allegation is, given the other facts that we just laid out here. >> i think you're -- i'm not quite so benign on this. he may not have squashed subpoenas, i don't know. i'm not familiar with this story. but what is clear, albany is a cesspool of corruption, they tried to clear it up, they tried to interfere, someone from his office, maybe they didn't succeed. i think andrew cuomo does not look good here. >> and here's a governor, ipso facto, he is in trouble. >> that's a different issue. >> i just wanted to get ipso facto in there. >> people have been trying to clean up albany since the 1920s.
it's always been a sacesspool. the fact that albany is a cesspool has no bearing on this story. >> unless you said you came to albany to clean it up. >> but bring that up in the re-election. is there any evidence that the governor was involved in squashing subpoenas? there's no apparent evidence to me of that. if the chairman of the commission says that -- >> he did shut down the commission. >> there was no political interference. >> that's a problem in its own right. >> it's a problem, i suppose, if people want to make a political argument that he ought not to have closed down the commission. but the notion that, you know, that the story that ran, i think, is absent facts, alleging what he did. >> the question is what is interference, right? >> guys, so we have chris christie on one side of this thing and -- >> tri-state area. >> the tri-state governors are
being looked at, and in both the cases, the optics are very bad. but to the governor's point, there are no facts right now that prove that he quashed subpoenas, right? does anybody have any? okay, we don't. but it doesn't look good. i think that's fair to say. >> closing down the -- >> the optics are bad. >> shutting down a commission that you created and it looks like there may be some timing that would indicate that it might be effective, but you've got no proof. >> you created it because you were a great corruption fighter. >> and then you shut it down. >> but, again, there's no actual fact that chose that. and you could also say that the new jersey governor, you know, tried that as well, saying there are no facts that show i was connected to the lane -- but that did not stop the press from talking about it is and saying these could be connections that could be made. it's an interesting trifecta. all right. we'll revisit this. we'll be following this. and maybe we'll hold a news conference closer to new york city. that would be nice. because that's another optic issue. >> buffalo's not good enough? >> buffalo is hard to get to.
i'm like, are you kidding me, buffalo? now it seems like you're trying to make it far away -- >> tim russert is looking down on you somewhere, be careful, mika. >> i love buffalo, i'm just saying, but if you want to address the story, come to the reporters who are covering it. eugene robinson, thank you, steve schmidt, thank you as well. al hunt, stay with us. 40 years ago after his resignation as president, we'll take a look at some new uncensored tapes from the nixon administration. they're fascinating. and later, the impact of two opposing forces on the modern family dynamic. we'll explain what those forces are with a fascinating new study ahead and the impact of women working and making money and how that potentially affects marriage. but, first, here's bill karins with a check on the forecast. bill? >> morning to you, mika. a lot of activity lately. we had those tornadoes in boston yesterday, one in virginia last week. and then we had that lightning strike on the beach that killed that person in california, three rare events. what's not so rare is summertime
fires in the west. and they continue to spread and we've been having a very active period. these are coming from near yosemite national park, and we're going to watch this area closely today, because they do have the chance to spread with warm temperatures and some breezy conditions out there. in all, we now have 27 large fires burning in the west. it actually died down just a little bit. we had about 36 last week. so some rainfall has been beneficial. this picture came to us overnight. this is from yosemite national park, and you can actually see on here, how active the fire is, right through the middle of the night. a pretty eerie looking picture there. so across the country, we had that storm in new england yesterday, gone. now we're looking at beautiful conditions. no problems with the mid-atlantic, ohio valley. dry air all the way to the south. one area that's needed the rain, new mexico. and you're getting drenched. we've seen too much, too fast, and we have some flash flood warnings. colorado and new mexico, flash flooding. your tuesday forecast, flash flood threat continues for
colorado, new mexico, some afternoon storms in florida. and as we head towards the end of the week, the predominant weather story will be what happens with this tropical disturbance. it looks like it could become tropical storm bertha by the end of the week. somewhere near puerto rico by the time we get to sunday. and it could go somewhere just off the east coast it looks like, next week at this time. so that's good news with that. shouldn't be much of a problem for the lower 48. but our friends in puerto rico, we'll keep a close eye on it. you're watching "morning joe." we'll be right back. over 20 million kids everyday in our country lack access to healthy food. for the first time american kids are slated to live a shorter life span than their parents. it's a problem that we can turn around and change. revolution foods is a company we started to provide access to healthy, affordable, kid-inspired, chef-crafted food.
we looked at what are the aspects of food that will help set up kids for success? making sure foods are made with high quality ingredients and prepared fresh everyday. our collaboration with citi has helped us really accelerate the expansion of our business in terms of how many communities we can serve. working with citi has also helped to fuel our innovation process and the speed at which we can bring new products into the grocery stores. we are employing 1,000 people across 27 urban areas and today, serve over 1 million meals a week. until every kid has built those life-long eating habits, we'll keep working.
machines will be sprayed to be made. and making something stronger... will mean making it lighter. one day, factories will work with the cloud. one day... is today.
one of the first recordings made after president richard nixon installed a private taping system, and an eerie warning from his chief of staff. joining us now, professor of history at rice university, douglas brinkley, who is the father of cassidy, it's cassidy, right, sweetie? yeah, i'm good.
also the co-editor of a new book, "the nixon tapes: richard nixon unfiltered, uncensored, and in his own words." is your dad nice? >> yeah. >> a good writer, right? and cassidy says she's best behaved in the household. i'll let you go figure that out between your brother and sister, because we're going to be talking about inappropriate behavior among pandas, apparently. so cute. so good. we've got a lot of fascinating things to talk about pertaining to your books and these tapes. here's a conversation between president nixon and henry kissinger when they wanted to produce criticism against soviet jews, worried it could harm their secret talks with the soviet union.
what do you think of this conversation? >> henry kissinger, being jewish, is constantly worried he's going to be taken out of being a negotiator in the middle east, anything to do with israel or foreign policy in general, but nixon told halderman, i don't want any jews regarded with foreign policy. so kissinger always trying to overcompensate and being macho. in this case, he says, i don't care about the human right s jes and soviet unions. it's none of our business. we don't ask russia to tell us about african-americans, we
don't care what happens to them. at one point, he says, i don't care basically if they go in gas chambers, it's none of our business. they're in russia, it's not america. he's a realist, kissinger, and this is his real politic vision. >> al, have you been listening to these tapes at all? >> i've listened to some. >> it's fascinating. >> i can't wait to read doug's book. everything about nixon is fascinating. the contradictions, this incredibly smart man who was so insecure, had good policies and did them in the worst possible way. but kissinger also was pandering to him. >> absolutely. and nobody spoke up to the boss. and you have to give kissinger to -- you know, he didn't know he was being tape recorded. nixon had everything voice activated. it wasn't like johnson or kennedy, where they were doing limited taping. this was everything. they even bugged camp david. so you can imagine kissinger, years later, when these come out, you have to be -- you get mortified. but nobody, except halderman, and maybe once or twice, really stands up to the boss. they're afraid of him. >> and kissinger in his defense, pandered to him rhetorically,
but it didn't affect policy. >> often would just do the opposite or at least try to work other channels. in fact, we owe kissinger a little bit of credit in october of 1973 with the yom kippur war, nixon was drinking all the time, completely dissolving, because of the pressure of watergate, and it was kissinger and scowcroft who kept our foreign policy going. >> so had it been today, there could be cameras everywhere. it would be like the kardashians. one of the more humorous exchanges in the book, nixon's conversation with a washington reporter about chinese pandas heading to the national zoo. nixon was apparently amazed at how they mated.
>> pandas are voyeurs. what in the world?! what in the world? >> well, nixon's sort of an odd man. >> yes. >> but, of course, his best moment in history is the 1972 breakthrough to china and the pandas coming to america were a big deal. and on one of the tapes, nixon was talking about the problem of what zoo, san diego, st. louis? and he decided on the national zoo, because he thought the climate was right for pandas. so he started reading a lot about pandas, so far that he was getting into their mating habits with a reporter. >> a real aficionado. so '72, you talk about, that's when the breakthrough he had with china. but when we look at his most powerful years, really is just prior to that. because watergate, you know, '73, as you say, he was drinking
a little more than he should have been. but '71/'72? >> yeah, he was a big deal. he won in '68, improbable as it was. '72, the biggest landslide in american history against george mcgovern. on one of the tapes, he's so victorious, he says, why isn't somebody writing a book about 1972. all that i've accomplished. his sense of grandiosity is extreme. and of course, we know, by '73, watergate just starts ripping him down. and you get a whole new batch of tapes that a man name stanley cutler had put into a book called "abuse of power," a great scholar from wisconsin, and now john deans also adding to that record. >> did you like putting this together? >> it was unbelievable, because my friend, luke nicktor, we had transcripts so high, he's been working on it for a decade. and we went through and edited it down to try to be fair. ones that are historically significant, some lighter moments, and some moments of
dark nixon. >> before we go to break, we're going to bump out with him talking about women who swear, which we ran earlier. it is something to listen to. the book is the nixon tapes. and you can read an excerpt on our site, mojo.msnbc.com. douglas brinkley, thank you so much. thank you, cassidy! your daughter's adorable! always bring her. al hunt, thank you as well. i know you've got to run. tomorrow on "morning joe," we'll continue our look at president nixon. john dean will be our guest for his book, the nixon defense, what he knew and when he knew it. coming up this morning, the revolution at home. how men and women are learning to coexist in a new era of equality, or no coexist. "morning joe" will be right back.

the dynamics of the american working family are constantly evolving. affected in large part by the economic gains and losses made by women in the family. it creates what the director of the research council, research at the council on contemporary families call the new instability in a piece for "the new york times". she wrote in part this, over the past 40 years, the geography of family life has been destabilized by two powerful forces, pulling in opposite directions. and occasionally scraping against each other. much like tectonic plates. one is the striking progress toward equality between men and women. the other is the equally striking growth of socioeconomic inequality and insecurity. and here with us now to weigh in on these two trends, editor in chief of "glamour," cindy levy, and chairman of myers biz.net, jet myers, the author of the upcoming book, "the future of
men" and "the age of dominant males." we've got to talk. i don't know who's losing more in that. but let's talk about this study. so cindy and jack, and thomas, show us some of the numbers here we're talking about. because there are some real shifts taking place. >> there are definitely shifts. let's talk about gains for women and redefining the ideal family arrangement. the question was asked, how have these two trends impacted the notion of an ideal family relationship based on these numbers. and look at this, we have the ideal family arrangement, 1977, two-thirds believed the husband should work, and the wife should be at home. now, 2012, we've got one third believe that the husband should work and the wife should be at home. so, obviously, there is huge gains in terms of how families are looking at who's going outside the home to work. >> and add one more outcome to that, looking at divorce, which is so interesting as well. >> so marriage 101, we look at the 1980s.
if the wife was better educated, divorce was more likely. in the 1990s, if the wife is better educated, there is no e added divorce risk. >> let's stop there with this new instability. what's happening? cindy and then jack? >> what's happening is work is a reality of women's lives. and it is basically holding up the american economy. and most americans are pretty fine with that. i mean, the statistics that you just showed, showing how people's views towards women bringing home the bacon have changed are remarkable. you know, there used to be this idea that that was a men's world. and now, particularly, young men and women think, you know what, as long as there's bacon coming into the home, i'm good. it doesn't matter who's brought it. >> it's not just a push for equality anymore, it's a necessity. i look at the next generation as girls are going to work. >> it's not about having it all as some sort of greedy or selfish choice. it's about, this is what the economy and everybody's family is -- >> but it is impacting the family, jack? >> there are clear economic -- >> and marriages. >> it's impacting across all society, culture, business,
education, politics. but the reality is that in 2015, for the first time, women will surpass men in the workforce, in managerial and professional jobs, in 1970, men represented over 75%. today, they represent only 45% of managerial and professional jobs. and while women's income has been increasing since 1970, about 25%, men's income has been flat. so while we have more women in the workforce, there's still overall family income, even with more two-family homes is declining. and that's the real challenge. that we can't raise total income, even as more women are entering the workforce. >> interesting results from this, also, in terms of who does the housework. who bears the brunt of the family responsibilities. >> well, there was this study last year, that got a lot of attention, that hinted that couples in which men do more of the housework or at least their fair share, actually have less
sex. and that turns out not to be true. i'm pretty sure it was a rumor started by a guy who did not want to unload the dishwasher. >> it's a good one! >> but i think that speaks to something that jack just raised. as women gain in education, they are not actually raising their risk of divorce. that has been a long-standing fear among a lot of women. and it was based on the fact that it used to be true, up until about the 1990s. but one of the things that "the times" piece points out, is that for the last couple of years, couples where women have equivalent or greater education than their husband, have more stable marriages than those where women are lagging behind. and that's reassuring. >> and even where there's a working husband and a working wife, the working wife still does on average 25% more housework than child care. and in working homes where there's a working wife and a working husband, the husband still has 40 minutes more per day of leisure time. so women are -- there's definitely not a balance -- >> it's almost matching up.
but in your new book and talking about the age of men and male dominance lacking, is that, and these numbers may contribute to that. the fact that when couples are getting together, men and women, they're deciding that their personal and professional lives don't need to be mutually exclusive. and they can achieve these dreams together, communicate about it, talk about it, and achieve it together. it seems like that's the big difference we're seeing in modern relationships. >> it is a balance. and a good man today is not defined by his conquests. >> he's just hard to find. >> that's the opening line of my book. >> very good! okay. very good. it is so interesting, because i think we're kind of in the middle of all of this, these challenges, watching, and reading this article, it was sort of like, i don't know where this is going. >> i think part of what it means is that the definition of being a great man and a great provider has changed. it doesn't necessarily mean that you are doing the providing as a man. you might also need to support your wife if she needs to go back to school to increase her earning power. move across the country to take
another job. all the things that wives have traditionally done for their husbands, it's a two-way street. >> thank you both for being on the show. come back when your book comes out. still ahead, new earnings from wall street, including new concerns from bp over russian sanctions. business before the bell is next.
welcome back, everybody. "business before the bell" now with cnbc's sarah eisen. >> bp warned about further sanctions if the eu and the u.s., as they're discussing, but economic sanctions on russia. it could have, according to bp, a material adverse affect on their operations in russia. remember, bp has about 20% stake in rosnef, which is a major russian energy giant, controlled by the state. so obviously these countries that do business there are
starting to worry about more sanctions as discussed. also i want to mention some moral outrage today. okay cupid, the offline dating site, apparently has been lying to its users, doing all sorts of social experiments, taking away pictures, taking away content on professional. and get this, telling people that they were 90% matched when, really, they were only a 30% match, which, guys, they found actually worked in terms of the number of correspondences. people are pretty upset about that. but okcupid says, this is what websites do. >> doesn't that mean that people will just keep shopping on okcupid? >> or it doesn't matter. >> good point, sarah eisen, you're the best. up next, what, if anything, did we learn today?

>> thank you, panel. as always, thanks for inviting us into your home tonight from concord, new hampshire, that's it for this "special report," fair, balanced, and unafraid. no online show tonight. greta goes "on the record" right now. >> developing now, ukraine out of control. more missiles shooting down planes, this time fighter jets. so were they fired by the same attacker who's took down flight 17? at this hour president obama is on the west coast busy on his fundraising trip. meanwhile, back at home in washington, d.c., senator john mccain is calling the obama administration cowardly. he will go on the record in just moments. fox news steve harrigan live in ukraine with the very latest. steve? >> greta, two more planes shot down in eastern ukraine today. this time both military planes. they were f-2 fighters. soviet era made by the ukrainian government flying low within the crash site. near the border with russia.
likely flying low in support of infantry. ukraine is mapping an offensive now against the rebels. they were probably hit with shoulder mounted rockets. not the sophisticated antiaircraft missiles that were used to bring down that civilian malaysian liner but really a sign of just how dangerous the skies in ukraine are. and just how dangerous that site remains with this hot war going on. a number of international experts still haven't been able to reach the scene and begin the work. different turn it of events for some the victims after days in body bags and on broken down trains, a real turn for the better as far as respect and dignity goes for 40 victims who have made it to the netherlands. they were put on private hearses and given a sign of respect from the dutch nation. the identification project will begin now. the rest of the bodies will arrive in nethers lie the end of the week. days to week to make identification using d.n.a. analysis of teeth and hair before those bodies are
repatrioted. greta, back to you. >> steve, as it calmed down at all or i mean obviously if they shot down two fighter planes not shot down on the air but what about on the ground. >> on the ground, the rebels are actually losing territory. they retreated from the outskirts of this city where i am now, moving into the city center and kicking out university students and taking over their dorm story -- tropical storm dormitories. keep in i understand moo, both sides have heavy armor and rockets. this is a city of a million people. so donesk could be in a real fight. >> thank you. john mccain with razor sharp words for the administration calling it cowardly in the handling of the ukraine crisis. nice to see you sir. >> thank you, greta. >> cowardly why. >> cowardly not to give these people weapons for which to defend themselves. i'm not positive that this wouldn't have happened but i think if the ukrainians had been giving what they were
begging for rather than mres, i'm not making this up. they finally decided to give them mres but they didn't want to fly them this. leased german trucks to truck them in. i'm not making that up. we see these weapons pouring across the border from russia into eastern ukraine. we won't give them any defensive weapons. they may have been able to succeed in moving those, quote: rebels as they are called out of ukraine and maybe this wouldn't have happened. >> what's the backup of president obama? why wouldn't he want to do that? >> what i was told, they didn't want to provoke vladimir putin. the misreading of vladimir putin is the most amazing thing to me that it is just boggles the mind. and when i say it's cowardly. i think it's cowardly not to help people who are begging to -- for our help to eject people who are ininvestigating their -- invading their country.
taking crimea. literally invading their country. these people that are in the country are, some of them are, quote: russian-speaking ukrainians but a hell of a lot of them are just russians who have come in at the behest of vladimir putin to create unrest. if you continue to have that part of ukraine in turmoil, their economy cannot recover. that's where the major industry is. >> how do you stop putin at this point? >> oh, i think slap sanctions, sector sanctions on. send the weapons to these people, move reinvigorate our missile systems. and check republic and poland. move nato troops into at least temporarily into areas that are more surrounding this area of the world where there is such unrest. and condemn our so-called european friends. do you really think that the
french are going to revoke the sale of those two helicopter carriers hot russians who have openly said they could have gotten the georgia operation done in 45 minutes with those carriers. the europeans are not going to do anything until they are energy independent, senator hole green, barrasso and i put together a proposal that within three years we could get natural gas from fargo, north that coat to europe and that will change the whole scenario. until they are energy independent, the europeans aren't going to do a damn thing. >> well, even with his own party, he has people objecting, senator feinstein objecting to him and his fundraiser. at least that's the way i read this. this is senator feinstein. >> i'm not going to tell the president what to do. but i think the world would very much respect his increased attention on this matter. and i think there ought to be increased attention.
>> well, he was out in california, she ought to be glad of that. but, look. >> out in california, you know what he said at a fundraiser today. he was talking, he said i would love nothing more than a loyal and rationale opposition. basically saying the g.o.p. is not loyal and rationale. >> the self-pity that he continues to exhibit is really kind of sad, really. you know, i can't work with them and all. when is the last time he really called leaders of both parties together over at the white house, say, for a dinner, a social event, you know, that reagan was best at, clinton did, bush did. >> why isn't he? >> i cannot explain it except to say that he does not have this desire to have social interface with people and sit down and try to work things out. right now, we he have got ukraine. we have got the border. >> israel? >> we have got israel. we have got iraq. we have got more problems, more crises than i have ever
seen both foreign and domestic. i said i have never seen more turmoil. everybody says -- i'm talking about turmoil in the world. i have never seen more. >> you might want to hear my off-the-record at the end of the show tonight. i know you have got a busy schedule. you might want to hear what i have to say about that nice to he so you, sir. >> thank you. >> news tonight that a month ago ukraine had asked the u.s. and nato jamming to block very painful question could that radar jamming equipment had we delivered it, could it have prevented the downing of flight 17, the daily beast eli lake broke that story. nice to see you, eli. >> what did ukraine ask from us and nato and when. >> specifically asked for electronic warfare technology. the idea would be radar technology and jamming out' date and russians can defeat it. if you can somehow jam the
radar then you deny the admissibility of adversary to aim. >> at the time they asked nato for radar jamming, would it have been possible or likely or probable to be able to get that equipment to ukraine so in time it might have prevented this crash? >> no. this wasn't asked for some kind of technology given the time frame nobody says it would have been able to get there to prevent that crash. they were asking for it we have to understand is last month when the united states publicly disclosed that they did see these systems from russia coming into ukraine. and that was a point at which this was absolute. >> is this just simply a back off of the obama administration to want to get their hands into the ukraine separatist movement problem? >> there has always been an intelligence issue because the ukrainian military in particular was extremely
close to the russians until february. there is a concern very sensitive equipment given to the ukrainians could be reverse engineered by the russians. >> fascinating article by the daily beast that you broke. thank you, eli. >> thank you. >> not just ukraine. try our borders. disturbing new information about immigration crisis. new research showing that children under 12 years old are are the fastest growing group of minors crossing our border compared to pew research compared to last year, 117% increase in the number of children 12 and younger caught at the border. 117% increase. and the "l.a. times" molly hen see joins us. nice to he so you, molly. >> hi, greta. thanks for having me. >> molly, why the huge jump, the 117%? why do people think that's jumping so high? >> well, and that 117% represents children who are being caught crossing the border unaccompanied. without their parents. this is a variety of reasons i talk to some of the
children as well as parents who came with children. we have seen a tripling in the number of those kids who have been caught with their parents crossing. you hear people say that they heard about these permissos that he they would be given permission to statement you hear about people talking about economic conditions, poverty, violence, threats from gangs, extortion also coming for medical help. >> well what sort of provoked the permissos all of a sudden becoming so prevalent that you hear so much about it. why? >> it's give to say. the people i talked to i pressed them. i was down in the border a couple of weeks ago, i went out with border patrol and out with them apprehending people. i would ask them did you hear about these per missos i heard on the news or my friends wasn't exactly clear how they were finding out. >> continue to come into the country. in terms of what is their condition when he they arrive, the ones you saw? >> well, i was able to go in
with border patrol to one of the stations in brownsville, texas, where the children are housed and we saw the children. we weren't able to speak it them or interview them but they have added a lot to accommodate the children. they have added showers. they have volunteers and fema staff who come and take them out for recreation outside. the border patrol agents who i spoke with said look, we are not trained to work with children. these facilities were not designed to be housing them. so then they do turn them over within 17 hours to run longer term shelters. the facilities here on the border have been overwhelmed. in recent weeks they have seen a little bit of a drop of the number of children who have been apprehended. not clear whether that is going to continue, whether it's sustainable. >> molly, thank you. >> thank you. >> it's not just the border states. thousands of immigrant children moving on right through the border states to states across america and many governors don't know how they will pay for them. now, several governors
demanding president obama take action. gary herbert joins us. good evening, sir. >> good evening to you, greta, great to be with you. >> governor, you and several other governors have written a letter to the president of the united states. what did you write the president and what do you want? >> well, i think we're exhibiting frustration about the immigration problem. particularly with 57,000 undocumented children being at our southern border. as we have asked about that, we are finding out that not only are they there, but they are being placed with relatives and sponsors who are also undocumented. further just exacerbating the problem. >> is this, i mean, do you have any real problem now or are you predict that you are going to have a problem later you? are not a border state but you are a big state. i mean, are these just sort of like you are worried about what's to come? >> that is certainly part of it and it's not just about utah. it's about america. we are not a border state but a lot of undocumented
immigrants filter up to utah. we have about 100,000 we estimate now in the state of utah. there has been kind of a diminishment of that because of the recession. enough to that the economy is starting to turn around, you see this surge is taking place. why we are sending parents and young people on the bordered in the hope of getting inside america really is puzzling in many ways and certainly not a very good healthy immigration policy for america. >> you have had any sort of interaction or response. i realize you just sent the letter to the president. any response from the obama administration so at least you are considering or willing to work with you or do they ignore you? >> well, i don't think they have ignored us. >> secretary burwells with sensitive to questions being asked on both sids of the aisle but particularly sponsors that they don't ask the question whether they are documented or not. the estimates are that nearly half of them aren't. so we have a problem there
that she at least is aware of. the question is really what do we do? i think for governors, we are frustrated that nothing is really happening in washington, d.c. there is a dearth of leadership. the president won't even go down to the border to look and see firsthand what's taking place. he needs to come up with a plan of first securing the border. i think that's something everybody agrees with why can we not at least take that first step of securing the border and deincentivizing people from coming across the border. you talk about the young people, and that's a significant rise of what -- 117% of these young people that are coming to our borders, most of them unaccompanied with adults. but, adults are still coming, also. they are the largest numbers still. >> if there is no plan, why do you not feel ignored you? said a minute ago you don't feel ignored. i would think i would feel ignored if i thought this was a big problem coming down the road and i alerted of them to it and got basically no plan. >> well, when i say ignored,
we had the meeting thatment proked the letter just a week ago. i'm going to give them at least some grace period to respond to the letter. again, i think the secretary of health and her response, she is happy to do something that's very difficult. she accident create policy on the border. that's the congress and that's the president. so, from the standpoint of nothing is being done, we are kicking the can down the road, i guess you are right, we are being ignored. frankly the governors are tired of it we have tried to do some things in our states. we have been told very directly by the courts this is a federal issue. okay. we'll back off. but we expect the federal government to do something. and, again, the president has got to lead. he has a 3.7 billion-dollar program out there. senator reid and the senate democrats have a 2.7 billion-dollar proposal. there they are only a billion apart. i know in washington, d.c. that's a rounding error. that's real money to the city of utah and taxpayers. they have got to show leadership and bring people
together, particularly we all to secure the border. i don't understand why that can't be d>> governor, thank yo. >> thank you. and this week, the presidents of guatemala, el salvador and honduras will meet with president obama here in washington at the white house. joining us, guatemalaen foreign minister fernando, nice to he see you sir. >> nice to see you as well. >> welcome to the united states. >> thank you very much. >> why are children leaving your country for the u.s.a.? >> well, i think what happened the last three years is that the criminal -- found a way of fooling families. central america that they could get some kind of legal establishment and they provide a service and because of the number of cases you have your judicial system now, migration, some of them have stayed longer, and so, started to say to the families, you see, we told you, you know, they are staying in the u.s. legally and they were fooled because of that and that's why so
many children have come now. >> what's sort of unusual though is guatemala, mexico, to the united states. and just this month, the president of guatemala and the president of mexico signed an agreement to make it sort of an easier transit through mexico, right? >> no, no. that's not correct. >> okay. >> the agreement is -- the agreement has two parts, right? one is that along the border that we share, 80-kilometers within mexico and also within guatemala, there would be some kind of a -- there is a lot of trade and we -- activity. beyond that point, 80-kilometers within mexico, control starts to get stricter and stricter. until they reach more or less 3300 south of mexico convocation city. -- mexico city. mexico has said very clearly they don't want migrants from central america to move to northern mexico and they
will collaborate. >> are they actually stopping them at the southern mexican border? >> the idea is that with this system created, everybody in guatemala will be having a card. there will be issued free by the government. >> which allows them to go into mexico? within those 80-kilometers. >> that's why it looks like it's easier to get into mexico. let me ask you another question. the children being deported back to guatemala. are you able to absorb them? >> by all means, no problem with that. >> you want your children back? >> no problem with that. >> what do you want when the president meets with your president meets with our president at the white house this week, what is it that will help your country so that we don't k. at least try to put a lid on this problem for both countries. >> two major issues. one is the issue of coordinated action international criminal networks. i think that is important so we can have all of this international networks under control in the u.s. and
mexico and in central america. they work along the three territories and the second thing that is very important is long-term investment in social and economic opportunities most children are left because there is not enough secondary education. >> guatemala. >> if we send them back to you or deport them back which is what is happening you can't even put them in schools? >> no. >> so you have got an absorption problem if they come back to you? >> not really. because, just give you a figure. >> okay. >> more or less 25,000 children coming in the last three years from guatemala. okay? we have every year 400,000 newborn children in guatemala. 400,000. children below the age of 18, 6.5 million. so 25,000 is not an enormous number that he we cannot absorb. >> mr. foreign minister thank you for joining us, i hope we can work this out because it's serious for
both countries, thank you. >> thank you. >> horror writer steven king blasting the party and christians. what did he just write that's sparking so much qulowt rage. michael moore of hollywooda? hypocrite? you have to find out what we just found out. i'm doubly impressed! phillips' digestive health. a daily probiotic. ♪ nothing's missed with tenatwist ♪ ♪ don't miss a beat... ♪ nothing's missed with tenatwist ♪ ♪ oooh discover the fearless protection of tena. so absorbent even when you twist not a drop escapes. ♪ nothing's missed with tenatwist ♪ when folks think about wthey think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs.

power and washington, d.c. political correspondent byron york. rick? he is tearing up the twitter account? >> yeah. using religion and typically you use religion when you use it as weep. you don't use it proactively. use it against someone else to say, you look at their beliefs and say this is something that runs contra. that is always problematic, because for a long time and for most of american history, the presumption has been that someone's individual religious beliefs that's their own beliefs, that's their own business to. ascribe politics to it is asking for trouble. >> i suspect suspect, kirsten, i don't know about allot about steven king he would do a lot about this argument if he were down at the border handing out sandwiches or something. >> i have done a the love reporting on this story i can tell you pretty much everybody i have talked to who has been handling these children are from christian organizations. i mean, you it is the christian organizations that are taking them in. it's the u.s. -- the council of catholic bishops. it's catholic charities. it's evangelical
organizations. almost these are christians taking care of these kids. >> horror writers. >> what they write on twitter is horror. >> they are unaware of how integral these christian organizations really are to our social services to this country and how much they really do pick up the slack in a crisis. >> i actually think michael moore later another segment. but, boy, byron, like is he trying to compete with michael moore for hypocrite of the night. unless he is down on the border contributing a lot of money i don't know about for these kids. >> it's not a religious issue. the government has a right to set its immigration policy to enforce immigration policy. i will say though in this particular debate about the unaccompanied minors coming over the border. we have seen at love religious references. if you listen to nancy pelosi, the house minority leader she has said on a number of times she has cited the conference of catholic bishops to suggest that most of the children should be given homes in the united states and should not
be returned to their home country. there has been a lot of religious references. >> shouldn't steven king then be pointing his keyboard more at nancy pelosi and not at the christians who might be down at the border or even like the tea party which is not a religious issue? i mean, wouldn't he be better suited to do that? >> well, certainly not anybody. >> handing out sandwiches. >> certainly not anybody who is actually taking action to help had the people coming over. >> is she doing anything? take leader pelosi, is she doing anything? a lot of people are talking about it in washington. there are so many talkers, everybody has an opinion. you got steven king who has an opinion who are the good guys, the bad, anybody doing anything, rick? >> she is pushing immigration reform. >> how? fundraiser. >> clearly she would like to seat immigration reform bill, that's the democratic prescription for a the lotted of this. i don't think it's fair to expect every lawmaker to be handing out sandwiches. >> i used that as a reference. the people who have the power to do something, have the authority to do something they are not doing it they are not up on capitol hill pounding out
some bill. she is out at a fundraiser in california. i'm not expecting her to hand out sandwiches, but. >> it is remarkable 8 days before this congressional recess everybody agrees this is a big pressing national issue. no sense of urgency around it everyone is throwing up their hands too far apart have to come back after labor day. >> real possibility. >> nothing will get done before the recess. >> they should be engaged and maybe every single one of them doesn't need to be down on the border. it's such a huge issue. i think president obama should have gone to the border when he was down there. i think if they are going to talk about it, they should go down and see it firsthand and everybody see what's going on. >> i don't think they have to go to the border. at least back home in their offices writing legislation and talking to each other. anyway, panel, thank you. the irs scandal just got weirder, it has to do with lois lerner's emails. hear what the irs commissioner just said. that's next.

big news from today's irs hearing. irs commissioner john koskinen confirming that investigators have found backup tapes in the lois lerner lost email probe. >> backup tape may, in fact, exist. >> i have no information as to whether there is anything usable on those tapes. >> why didn't you tell us you had the irs had destroyed emails that belonged to lois lerner. >> they were not destroyed as a conscious effort by the irs. >> if the folks like lois lerner and others would have spent more time working on the backlog and less time targeting groups, maybe morale would be better and maybe their backlog would be lesser.
>> not one piece of data could be covered. >> doesn't surprise you the american people just have a hard time believing that does it. >> there was no secret that we were hiding. >> right after the oversight hearing the irs commissioner talking directly to us "on the record." >> my commitment is i want people to be comfortable that the irs is simply the tax administrator. we are not a political organization. we are not politically motivated when they hear from us, it has only to do with tax matters it has nothing to do with their background, their organization, their political beliefs. at this point, beginning it run out of documents to produce but we will continue to produce them as quickly as we can in response to the committee's request. >> all the information i have is that the tapes from backup tapes from three years ago were recycled and don't exist. i do know the inspector general came out in this hearing and earlier materials released by this committee has looked at some tapes and is reviewing them. to the extent that there? i information on them, that would be terrific. if they need outside help, i
would never oppose that again, as i say, it's our interest, my sense is, we produce 67,000 lois lerner emails, the vast majority of them aren't very interesting. we have got 24,000 that she sent during this period to other people. and so my sense is that it would be very good to know how many other emails there were. at this point there is no indication that they would be really exciting, but it would be much better for everybody to know that. >> representative jim jordan joins us. good evening, sir. >> good to be with you. >> if this weren't so serious i would be flippant and say who is on first. now the commissioner says he doesn't know -- he didn't know the backup tapes existed and now he doesn't know if there is anything on them. what does he know and where is this information? >> yeah. great question. because every time we interview someone else, we find out some new fact that contradicts what mr. koskinen has said under sworn testimony, under oath sworn testimony in front of the can i. >> let me ask you this, is he lying or uninformed or confused or what? >> today he indicated that he didn't even talk to his
chief counsel. his chief counsel knew in mid february that lois lerner's computer hard drive was unrecoverable. they didn't tell us untilsser i don't. four months. >> uninformed, incompetent in thinks job or deceitful. >> it's hard to say. >> what are you leaning towards. >> i think he isn't being square with us. >> that's a plight -- polite way of being deceitful. >> i asked him. why didn't you tell us in april when you said you did know. why did you wait all the way to june 13th? my theory is. this judicial watch does a foia request, they get email from the justice department. they forward the justice department. they get email that shows he was talking with lois lerner in 2013. woe bring in mr. pill gear in. >> right before the inspector general's report went published, this is may
of 2013 before. >> right before? >> actually days before. the email was two days before she went public. so we bring him, in we find out he not only talked to her then but in 2010. >> about what in 2010? about targeting? >> yes. about the whole citizens united case about the whole subject matter. we subpoenaed justice and we want all correspondence between justice and lois lerner. we get those emails. we then ask the irs why do we have to get this from justice? why didn't you provide them? >> here is the key fact. look at the time line. as a prosecutor did you that as well. that was june 9th when we sent that letter to the irs. june 13th is when they disclosed to the world, hey, we lost lois lerner's emails and they have been destroyed and they are unrecoverable. so you knew in february june 13th. why june 1st? because we sent a letter on june 9th saying we got email from the justice department that we didn't get from you. >> the justice department in 2010 before the inspector general's report if they are talking to lois lerner about targeting, the plot thickens very much. i mean, were they actually
talking about targeting them? >> it's worse than that, greta. the irs sent 1.1 million pages about c-4 organizations. 21 disks of information. a small portion of that contained taxpayer protected information. 6103. stuff you can't -- about donors. they sent out the fbi. that was in the fbi's possession for four years. this coordination and collaboration went clear back to 2010. once we had those emails and confronted the irs on it, suddenly four days later they tell the world oh, you know what? we lost lois lerner's emails. >> what is commissioner koskinen's goal though? he if you think he he is deceitful. he has every motive to do the opposite. >> tom cain one of the lawyers responsible for document in. up to 20. 80 people involved in the irs targeted. 82 identified. up to 20 may in fact have had computer crashes.
what's the odds of one fourth of the beam who are under part of the investigation having a computer crash? but that's what tom cain, the lawyer, the professional lawyer in charge of document production said to our staff last thursday. >> plot thickens, thank you, sir. >> thank you. >> and is the world just going to look the other way while christians get slaughtered by isis? just because they are christians? and they just wouldn't convert to islam. ambassador john bolton is here next. plus, michael moore wants more and more and more. yes, the same film maker who calls capitalism evil. is moore a hypocrite. greg gutfeld the star of so many shows here on fox news that i can't talk about them all is here to talk about that coming up. but if you have arthritis, this can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain, and improve daily physical function so moving is easier. because just one 200mg celebrex a day

this is a a fox news alert. faa is extending the banned no u.s. airlines can fly to and from tel aviv. the faa says it continues to assess the danger of rocket attacks hamas at or near the
israeli airport. despite the ban on commercial flights. secretary of state john kerry on air force plane flying into tel aviv today. secretary kerry pushing for a cease-fire during a whirlwind of meetings he met with benjamin netanyahu. palestinian authority president mahmoud ahmadinejad and ban ki-moon. but, in southern gaza, no end in sight for the fighting. fierce battles still raging between israeli troops and hamas. and now to the terror in iraq. isis forcing thousands of christians to convert to islam, leave the country, pay a fine, or die by the sword. today on capitol hill, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle slamming the obama administration for failing to act quickly to stop isis. and former u.n. ambassador john bolton joins us. genk, sir. you know, it's just unthinkable. isn't it? i mean, it's like how do we get to the point where we have christians being threatened with essentially genocide? >> well, i think the obama white house simply was not paying attention to what was going on. i mean, we don't know exactly what they were being
briefed on, but there was little doubt that for months and months, radicals were infiltrating the syrian opposition and, indeed, dominating large parts of it and a the notion that at some point they would link up with the disaffected sunnis in iraq against the al maliki regime, whether they had hard intelligence on it or not was a perfectly obvious possibility. and, yet, because of the disinterest in what was going on in iraq, they simply turned their eyes away. >> is this going to put a spotlight, this horrible crisis put a spotlight on the bigger picture? this persecution of christians is not just in iraq. you have got it in sudan. you have got it in nigeria and a lot of african countries. in paris now we have jewish shop owners being terrorized as a result of the conflict in israel. i mean, this is -- this is a terrible situation that's going on around the world. >> well, this is really a clash of civilizations when you have radical islam, in effect, going after
christianity and judaism where the clash occurs. and i don't think we should blink at it. i think this is a reality. and something we have to deal with it's not to say that that's what all muslims think or all christians think. but it's very clear that those who profess the radical islamist ideology intend to suppress the other religion. >> there is a part of me that never wants to be alarmist but part of me that studied history. we he have seen what happens when religious groups get persecuted. what are we going to it do? is there anything to do to try to protect these people, to try to stop this? >> well, let me just say, i think there is a fundamental problem at the front end, and that is in europe and in parts of the united states, including the current occupant of the white house, i don't think there is an understanding of what happens with religious if a that if a that theism, everything is seen as economic problem. if only these people weren't poor people would be okay. religion cuts across that and that's what we are
seeing. specifically in syria, and iraq, i think it's clear the united states has got to be able to go after the isis threat without doing one of two other things. one, strengthening iran's hand in what's left of iraq, or, two, attacking sunnies who are actually not part of the isis problem. it's hard to separate them. but i think we need a will the more targeted response going after isis leaders. that would be the steps i would take right now. >> all right. and, of course, thrown into the mix you have got the american in prison in iran who is a christian. i mean, i could go on and on and on the list it is a big list. anyway, thank you ambassador. >> thank you. >> michael moore calling capitalism evil. is he referring to his lake front mansion or giant new york city condo. hollywood hypocrisy next. there's a gap out there. that's keeping you from the healthcare you deserve.

moore's divorce settlement exposing hypocrisy. co-host of the five and host of the red eye and host of the network. he is always on the air. >> that's true. >> greg, nice to he so you. michael moore, oh o, brother. what do you think? >> i hate to kick a man when he is down or round but is he $50 million, 9 homes. one of the homes is 10,000 square feet. he is richer than the chocolate pound cake that he eats on his toilet. and it exists. all this shows is the hypocrisy of a leftist. aist doesn't believe in being poor. he just doesn't want his opponents to be rich are. so it's okay if you are leftist and rich. but if you are a republican, if you are a conservative, that's evil. so, the -- it's about you can't have a proper share of the pie. he wants all of the pie. >> you know the thing that
disturbs me is i did poverty work for so long. and, you know, i have never been poor. i never want to be poor. and my heart bleeds for the poor, for people who are poor and struggle. but the problem is that what michael moore does is he makes people wrong for being successful. >> exactly. he makes it like he demonizes it. we wouldn't be talking about it tonight if he wasn't such a hypocrite. i don't begrudge his wealth at all. he goes around telling everybody else who has been successful and b puts his throat -- foot on the throat of people who are successful. is he trying to hold them back with his talk. >> i want him to be rich. i want everybody to be rich. that's a capitalist. is he against capitalism unless he is the capitalist. you know when he said he wasn't part of the 1%. dana perino pointed out he is not lying. is he part of the .001% at 50 million. is he really good oat making
documentaries about corruption and hypocrisy and fraud why doesn't he do a documented tri on himself? >> you know. i think it's profoundly disappointing and, you know, i wish that, you know, i wish that he -- i wish he liked success. i wish he appreciated his own success. i wish he encouraged everybody else who bothered to be successful. >> it's because he ascribes good and evil to value. if that money came from somewhere else, it's bad money. but if he makes his money exposing, you know, conservative hypocrisy or the evil of guns, then that's good money. his wealth is good but your wealth if you work at fox news, for example. your wealth must be evil. he says it's different. the money is different. >> all right. well you don't have to quote dana perino on this show, by the way. i heard her say that tonight. i watch the five all the

if energy could come from anything?. or if power could go anywhere? or if light could seek out the dark? what would happen if that happens? anything.
let's all go off-the-record for just a minute. sometimes putting things in very simple terms makes the point. remember grade school or even high school when the teacher would leave the room for about three seconds there would be calm to make sure the teacher wasn't coming right back and then all hell would break loose. >> food fight ♪ >> kids would yell, throw stuff, food, spit balls, you name it of course, the bullies would take over and there would be total chaos. that's what happens when the teacher, the leader vanishes. all hell breaks loose. well, we got that now.
only the classroom is the world stage and this is dead serious. the teacher, president obama, has left the proverbial classroom. think about it. president of the united states, when they are doing their job are the leaders of the free world. their influence, stabilizing, effective, powerful and calming. it's called leadership. and now chaos. every place you look. ukraine, israel, vawk, and even our own border and even our allies are now rolling their eyes at us. leadership matters. mr. president, where are you? and that's my off-the-record comment tonight. thank you for being with us. we will see you again tomorrow night right here at 7 p.m. eastern. paul ryan will join us and he will unveil his new plan right here. plus, we will talk with the president of honduras about the border crisis. all tomorrow night at 7:00 p.m.: do you think michael moore is a a hypocrite or just misunderstood? vote in our gretawire poll. if you are tuning in before bill o'reilly pick up remote
site? definitely. on facebook darrell says not at all. they must alert the customers. thanks to everyone who responded. >> thank you for watching. we'll be here at 5 a.m. tomorrow morning bright and early. "fox & friends" starts now. good morning. it is tuesday, july 29. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. we begin with a fox news alert. residents across the nation are waking up to devastation this morning. [screaming] >> tornadoes wreaking havoc from coast to coast. >> wow. it's not the kind of ad you would expect to see from a democrat. >> where do they think their electricity comes from? i'll make sure president obama gets the message. >> you can do that? why the president's own
party now apparently campaigning against him. >> the president has played 81 rounds of golf since 2012, but does it look like those rounds are helping his game, so to speak? here's what one guy just found in the woods. >> oh cool. >> mornings are better with friends. >> you're watching "fox & friends." that's a great way to begin your day. >> that's an actual signature by john hancock. here in the studio right now, we've got a rare 1860 letter written by mr. abraham lincoln who once upon a time was president of the united states. >> it's a guy -- it's a lincoln you probably have not seen before in that he writes as if he just burst on to the scene. he gives a major spoach at cooper union -- major
speech at cooper union and talks about his newfound fame. everyone, after they hear his speech they want that abraham guy, this congressman to speak on his behalf. and you know what happened right there. >> you know what? you can buy it. there is a fixed price on it. it is not going to be an auction. $40,000. we'll tell you about that and more. we've got history in the studio. now let's turn over to heather nauert. a wild night with tornadoes. >> usually when we talk about tornadoes it's kansas or the midwest but not so on this occasion. we're talking about the state of massachusetts and we begin with that extreme weather this morning. a rare tornado barreling through a massachusetts suburb five miles outside of boston. look at this. >> look at the trees! they broke! >> that twister packing 120 miles per hour winds ripping a path of destruction nearly two miles long. take a look at this car, totally flipped offense on the sidewalk there. from above you can see the
roofs torn off the building. the national weather service says this is the first twister to hit that area since they started keeping records back in 1950. but that's not it. the destruction also out west, at least three tornadoes touching down in the denver area, one of them caught on camera near the airport. no reports of any major damage. we'll keep watching that. overseas, overnight israeli missiles striking nearly 70 targets in gaza, including a home of a hamas leader. prime minister benjamin netanyahu of israel, of course, telling israelis to prepare for the long haul as the three-week campaign seems far from over. the death toll now stands at more than 1,000. in the meantime secretary of state john kerry facing harsh criticism by the israelis this morning over his attempts to negotiate a cease-fire. many say his deal favored hamas and ignore israel's key demands. the deadlocked jury in the jesse ventura
defamation trial is ordered to try again. deliberations set to resume today. it will be day six. ventura is suing former navy seal chris kyl for $15 million over a story he wrote about in his best selling memoir "american sniper." kyl writes about punching jesse ventura out in 2006 after ventura said that the navy deserves to lose a few. though kyl never specifically mentioned ventura's name in his book -- it was only in subsequent interviews the name came out. kyl was killed at a shooting range last year. his wife testified at his trial in his place. the president, you know he likes to play golf. he's played golf 81 times since 2012 but are all those rounds helping him out? a golfer at a congressional country club in maryland claims to have found the ball the president used himself and he found it in the woods. he posted this picture of the ball on instagram with comment, the president played at congressional yesterday and i just found this in the woods off hole
number one. it looks like he's off-line once again. >> who knew that the president had a potus, president of the united states, on his own ball. >> the question is how far off the track is it? >> if you watch any golf, even the best golfers sometimes shank it into the next hole. let's talk about what the president is doing when he is not golfing and that is executive orders. it's not a big mystery. when he felt as though a couple of weeks ago nothing is going to get done -- he's right -- on immigration reform, he said i'm going to take matters on my own hands. rumor has it once congress goes away he's going to do that and grant amnesty to parents, illegal parents of kids born here -- if you're born here, you can become a citizen -- that could add up to 3.8 million getting amnesty. >> upwards of five million that will get work permits that will be issued via executive action. this is astounding to many. the emphasis on amnesty as
well as work permits is shocking the nation. there is some saying this is complete lawlessness. why are we a nation of laws if we don't follow them? can we remain a nation of laws? senator jeff sessions was on the floor and says we have time to do something right now. we are not abiding by the law. he's specifically talking about the president. >> if president obama is not stopped in this action and he exceeds his power by attempting to execute such a massive amnesty contrary to law, the moral authority for any immigration enforcement henceforth will be eviscerated. it is absolutely not too late for us to restore a lawful system that treats applicants that come to america fairly and serves the national interest. this can be done. >> well, apparently what could be done yesterday was he and ted cruz, the senator from texas, were able to stir up enough support to get people, they said if you're going to do anything, do it right now.
call your senator, call your congressman in washington, d.c. for the most part they melted the phone lines yesterday. also yesterday there were a couple of protests outside the white house. but right across the street from it and also at lafayette square. what's curious about this, though, is according to reports, many of the people in attendance were illegal aliens. these are people who are not supposed to be in the country, according to news reports, and yet there they were protesting. and what's curious is apparently they didn't feel like, okay, if i'm arrested i'm going to get in trouble because for the most part the i.c.e. agents told one of our reporters that unless somebody has a serious criminal past, they're not going to get deported even though they're in the country illegally. so they had nothing to worry about, so there they were. >> they're going to protest again after that as well. meanwhile, as congress is going to work this week and then going to take five weeks off, it doesn't mean the catastrophe at the border is going to attack any time off. in fact, it's 24 hours a
day. you've got 1,000 men who are not there yet in texas. for the most part these border patrol are underfinanced, undermanned and overwhelmed. as congress takes off without providing any funds or reenforcement for the border possibly, the national border patrol counsel sean moran says we're going to work through the summer. >> we will be on doubt. we don't take five weeks off. we will be here doing our jobs. that includes rescuing people, especially kids who probably don't know survival skills. >> they're going to be working. >> no recess for them, not to mention the fact that jobs right now are a major achilles' heel in our nation and sessions also mentioned, to jump back, he asked would this effectively granting amnesty and work permits, be good for the american worker? five million people and their parents being able to work when americans here are not able to find jobs.
is it good for the african-american community? he said the c.b.o. report didn't indicate such. while they're hoping to get something done by thursday, border patrol agents working hard. >> the u.s. chamber of commerce is examining it, whether or not this is a good idea. i bet they're going to come back and say yes because they do like cheap labor. meanwhile, right there in washington, d.c., the big newspaper, the washington, d.c. post, clearly leans to the left -- it is a progressive newspaper. what is curious, though, is they're talking about the president of the united states and suddenly they're talking about whether or not he is competent. remember back in 2008 he was the guy who said, i'm going to restore competence to the white house. has he done that? no. on an editorial written by chris scalese, he said obama is faltering badly on the competence question and in doing so badly imperilling not only his ability to enact any sort of second term agenda but also democrats' chances this fall, serious events
from the v.a. scandal to the ongoing border crisis have badly undermined the idea that obama can effectively manage the government. even "the washington post" is saying that the president of the united states competence is putting his party in peril. >> they did a poll, cnn did, and only 42% said he's governing competently, 57% saying he is not. considering it was around 80% when he took office in 2008, it is pretty significant. on top of that, i always said if the president wants to make major gains, he doesn't have to go on the campaign trail. all he has to do is make quick, decisive, well thought out decisions on the myriad of crises happening in the world now. then people will say maybe i didn't vote for him, man, he is in charge. >> if he does go on the campaign trail, he might actually have an adverse effect on those that are running in the democrat party. many are stepping aside.
we showed you that ad, a west virginia candidate who is going to join us later in the program, she runs an ad right now really shutting the lights off in the white house, actually taking a stance against the president as she moves into election season. she's going to join us. >> i think that is an example of somebody in a red state who knows if i run as a democrat and support the president, i have no prayer and no chance at all. the same with senator joe manchin. he's the closest thing to a moderate democratment senate. if he was a liberal democrat, he would not have that job. and the president is as anti-coal as anybody in the country. >> he's got his pen and he's got his phone and they're talking about changing the rules so states can change down coal plants and open up solar things. the question is we hear chris cillizza writing in "the washington post" talking about there is no competence here. you've got somebody running for the senate in a state
curptly where there is a democrat who has a u.s. senate job and they're taking a shot at the president. the big question is would you want president obama to campaign for you if you ran for office. according to a brand-new fox news poll, a majority, actually by a landslide say no, stay home. go ahead, hit some golf balls into the woods. >> no photo op there. nearly six in ten that would say no. please don't take a photo with me when i'm running for your party. democrats, four years ago fully 82% wanted president obama to campaign on their behalf. that is down to 69%. they have a drop there, 13 points within his own party. please be as far away from me as possible. >> send money. just don't come. >> george bush had the same situation in his final mid term before his second term was up. meanwhile, straight ahead. >> many calling for a special prosecutor to investigate the i.r.s. but our next guest says that's a bad idea. really? he will explain why next. >> have you heard about
this? a man digging on the beach, buried alive. it is scary and it is not the only hidden summertime danger we're going to show you today. what you need to know and watch out for. >> makes you not want a vacation. >> oh, i want a vacation. when la quinta.com sends sales rep steve hatfield the ready for you alert, the second his room is ready. you know what he brings? any questions? can i get an a, steve? yes! three a's! he brings his a-game! the ready for you alert, only at laquinta.com!

i.r.s., but our next guest says that is a bad idea. here to explain is former federal prosecutor and author of this book doing extremely well, andrea mccarthy. i'm surprised to see you say that. why don't you think a special prosecutor would do a more thorough job than the justice department or the oversight committee? >> when people hear special counsel they think independent prosecutor. there is no independence from the executive branch when you're talking about prosecution which is an executive power. any independent counsel or special counsel they would appoint would have to answer to president obama and eric holder. >> we remember ken starr got to the bottom of it much to the chagrin of the clinton administration. we remember during the valerie plane investigation things didn't go swemgly for scooter -- swimmingly for scooter libby. why do you think we'll get the truth out of a special prosecutor now? >> you have very different
administrations and different attorneys general who actually let the system work. but you have a justice department who has a track record of abusing authority. the thought that holder and obama will pick somebody is farcical. >> we have a justice department that doesn't seem to be looking into the i.r.s. we see the oversight committee making progress but the nation seems not as interested as you would think. why do you think so many in congress are calling for this if the reality is as you say it? >> i like to think they probably hope the system would work and they're being naive about it. what we know about this scandal we know because of congress's investigation and because of some freedom of information act law sought going on with private litigants. if you kick this to a special prosecutor who gets kicked by holder, they're going to say grand jury secrecy, we can't talk about this anymore. the witnesses are going to
say we can't cooperate. there is now a serious criminal investigation. and then it will lapse into a black hole until president obama pardons everyone at the end. >> what options do they have? >> let's keep doing what we're doing now. it's painful, it's not as smooth as you'd like, but congress can get to the bottom of it. what i would do is expand the jurisdiction of the special committee that's already looking at benghazi and give it the i.r.s. scandal. because a special committee, unlike the subject matter committees in congress, can look at something reasonably like a grand jury and get to the bottom of what happened. >> a special committee would be the -- the other thing that would be interesting is if the senate flips, then we'll be coming at it with two bodies. andrew mccarthy thank you for showing up. 19 minutes after the hour. straight ahead, atheists fought to remove the 9/11 cross at grond -- ground

we've got news for you. would he start with breaking news from overnight. the cousin of out going president of afghanistan hammed car -- karzai was
killed this morning. a new york city court ruling the cross at ground zero can remain at the 9/11 museum. a group of atheists filed a lawsuit arguing the cross violated their first amendment rights, but a three-panel judge disagreed saying the beams are a genuine historical artifact, not a symbol of christianity. the cross stays. and that's the news. >> the summer beach day turns deadly when light neng strikes more than a -- when lightning strikes more than a dozen people. here with health hazards at the beach, dr. david samadi. we heard that news and talked about it here. death by lightning seems unfortunate to the 19th degree. how common is this? >> number one, i want to make sure people don't avoid the beach. it's fairly safe and we
want people to enjoy. but obviously if there's a thunderstorm out there and lightning, you want to make sure you get out of the beach. water a conductor. you can get massive shock if it hits you. that shock can hit your heart and all the chambers of the heart can go out of sync and you can have a cardiac arrest. it is the biggest shock you can get. get out of the water. >> not even wet sand; correct? >> exactly right because water is a great conductor. it can affect you. if you have a car, getting getting -- get into your car because that is connected to the land and can get rid of a lot of the lightning threat you have. go out there but use common sense. that's one of the reasons as a urologist i'm covering the beach and water stuff. >> people think run under a tree. that could be one of the worst places you could be.
there was a story about a guy who was in a sand tunnel and it collapsed. ten feet of sand on top of him. he suffocated. >> this is unfortunate. don't make it so deep. obviously these sand tunnels can really collapse. what they did was they rushed to bring him out and be able to clear his airway but they were not able to save him. it is a sad story. the bottom line is if you have children around, make sure these tunnels are shallow. >> people think it's sand, it's z. you can get out quickly but if you're under ten feet of it, it's like concrete. >> about 30 cases between 1997 and 2007 that were experienced. the spring-eating amoeba. how would you get this brain eating amoeba.
how do you know if your child has been swimming and has this. how common is this? >> don't be scared, elisabeth. >> can you sense the fear? >> i can hear it. it is extremely rare. when you go to lakes that are untreated water, extremely warm temperature, you're going to see some of this amoeba. don't dive right through it because amoeba can get through your nose. if you drink it nothing happens. but if it goes through your knows it can go to the brain area. it can cause enself enselfencephylatis. it can cause neurological damage and coma and death. those are rare cases. you have to be in places full of these parasites and you have to basically get into your nose. if you put a plug and keep your head above water if you happen to be in those lakes, you're safe.
these are rare incidents, unfortunate where we see some of these amoebas getting to us. >> something a lot of people do at the beach, they step on something, it's a sea you urchin. i've done it myself but occasionally they can kill us. >> those are poisonous ones. if you see skin allergies, you want to detect it. >> you know pretty much immediately when you've stepped on it. >> exactly. go to your doctor because they can give you injection to calm the allergies and save you. if you see allergic reaction on your skin, see your doctor immediately. >> don't take the chance. >> exactly. these are rare cases. i want you to go out, have a good time. we had such a long winter in new york city. >> i know but this is great to be aware. >> absolutely right. >> thank you, dr. samadi. straight ahead action it was supposed to be a three-hour tour but turned into a nightmare.

>> that's a letter of george washington to the people of philadelphia. philadelphia had been occupied by the british and he's congratulating them they're now a free people. that's 120 thousand. >> how does a letter like that get away from the washington collection? >> in many cases they're written to private individuals. if somebody writes you a letter, you own it. >> right here? >> a document of john hancock signed around june-july 1776. it looks exactly like his sigma tour on the declaration of independence. it is a foundation document of the navy. he's appointing somebody who would be one of the first naval officers. >> he's got great penmanship. right here is the letter we're discussing. lincoln gives his cooper union address. it changes everything for him. he becomes a national figure. this letter is indicative of what? >> this captures a moment in lincoln's life where he went from being a regional politician to being a national figure. it shows him struggling with that emergence.
he wasn't from the east coast. he comes out to the east coast and all of a sudden he's inundated by requests to speak. people want his time, his attention. he misses his family, his sons are sick, he wants to return home. and he feels nervous. you don't think of abraham lincoln feeling nervous but in this he confesses i'm nervous, i feel unfit to fulfill my obligations. >> this is 40 thousand dollars? >> that's right. >> where do we go to bid. not to bid >> to buy, rabbcollection.com. >> how do you decide who gets it? >> whoever calls and buys it. >> first-come, first served. >> our customers are private and public. public institutions buy these things. private institutions like universities buy them. sometimes private collectors buy them. >> awesome. nathan rabb, thanks so much for bringing these here. great to be a part of history. hopefully somebody out there will be buying these today. heather, what else going on?

headlines. >> i think that is not okay, cupid. >> who are you calling cupid? thanks, heather. meanwhile, 23 minutes before the top of the hour. destruction in the suburbs of boston, massachusetts, after a rare and powerful twister touched down. more than 100 homes were damaged. look at this. we're talking about massachusetts. maria molina joins us live with details. maria, they haven't seen something like this there since 1950. >> incredible images coming out of that region. that is in massachusetts just outside the city of boston. that twister was confirmed as an ef-2 with winds of up to 120 miles per hour. that was early yesterday morning making it even more unusual because it's not only a little unusual for this time of the year, typically this happens during the springtime when you start to talk about tornadoes and that type of severe weather, but it's a little unusual in july and also it happened between 9:30 a.m. and 10:00 a.m.

drug control policy office under president george w. bush. thanks for being with us. how irresponsible is it for "the new york times" editorial board to put forward the theory that pot is no more dangerous than alcohol. >> you have to wonder what were they thinking? don't they read their own newspaper? the information is stunningly careless of them. it is negligent. it's scientifically unsound what they have said. they're taking a risk here with a serious substance and they seem to be caught in some sort of time warp of the culture. cheech and chong and hilarious hippies. they even invoke reefer madness. that was 80 years ago. today's more potent t.h.c. pot that is affecting kids in america is a serious risk. it is much more potent, much more consequential and it is industrial pot. if you look at where this is actually happening since january in colorado where they legalized recreational marijuana it is a debacle. they're having serious problems with their youth.
this is industrial dope being put out at hypoten is i and it's having -- hypotency and is having negative affects. this morning i passed by the open door shelter and haven for women. the clean and sober people who are trying to keep themselves in treatment away from dope, away from the narcotics and their effects, they are profoundly affected when dope becomes widely accessible, widely available, normalatively accepted. most importantly it is the new generation. young children 12, 13 years of age have developing brains, t.h.c. in marijuana is a neurotoxin. it costs them eight i.q. points if they smoke heavily through their lives. it puts them at risk of psychological trauma of depression, hallucination. it is a serious drug with
serious consequences. if you missed the last ten years of biomedical reporting and neuroimaging on what this drug does to the developing brain then you might come out where the "new york times" has come out. they must have been asleep at the switch for the last ten years because they've taken a seriously irresponsible posture. >> david, that is a strong position. we want to thank you for being with us. i'm just trying to figure out why high fructose corn syrup is so bad and pot is okay according to this article. david, thank you for joining us. appreciate your insight. coming up, she left her kids in a hot car to go on a job interview. all charges were dropped but now she's trying to get her kids back. does she deserve a second chance? that mom here with us live next. then president obama is ignoring congress again, this time to change his signature achievement -- obamacare we're talking about -- and it will cost taxpayers millions. judge napolitano is here with that next.

this is not a rerun. president obama is once again ignoring congress and this time he's going to expand obamacare. the administration proposing to give thousands of temporary federal workers access to obamacare even though obamacare explicitly prohibited them from getting it. lawmakers are already suing the president for his improper implementation of the affordable care act, so is this just the latest offense to add to the list? he's shaking his head. judicial analyst judge
napolitano joins us live. >> we should reveal that in a commercial break before the camera came on, i looked at you and said, here we go again. >> you did. >> it's like a couple times a week these things happen. the congress was crystal clear. in order to get the number of votes they needed for this to pass, it was agreed, temporary, seasonal, part-time workers don't apply. yesterday the obama administration announced that today it's going to issue an administrative regulation that says, if you are a temporary or seasonal or part-time worker, and you think you might some day become full time, obamacare applies for you. this is for federal employees. guess who picks up the tab? you do. >> put the tab up. >> the taxpayer does. we've got the tab. >> we're talking about maybe a little north of 2 million federal employees, cost 8400 a year per person. so it looks like it could be up to $350 million. where is that money coming from?
>> from the taxpayer. of course we're broke, so they print more, which complicates this year. this is yet another violation of the constitution. why? because the constitution is very clear. no money may be spent by the federal government except that which is appropriated by the congress. not by the president. by the congress! we have the president yet again changing the rules, changing the meaning of the rules, changing the right of way and spending money that was never authorized by the congress. >> you know what it looks like? it looks like they're just making it up as they go because -- and you were talk being this during the commercial -- the president essentially has given up. >> it does appear -- part of my job here is to watch this stuff. >> and analyze it. >> it comes in in droves. it appears as though he has given up his constitutional role as president and has now taken on the role of ideologue in chief to change whatever laws he
can by whatever means he can in the two years he has remaining, the constitution be damned. he may have some interesting ideas, but the congress writes the law and the congress spends the money. not the president. >> all right. judge napolitano -- >> now i'm going to go have some espresso. where is chris? >> thank you, judge. coming up, it's one of the most beloved children's programs on television. look at that right there. who doesn't love thomas the tank engine. apparently he and his friends are racist! what? yeah. wait 'til we go off the rails with that. even without words, your body language can say a whole lot more. >> hi. nice to meet you. >> nice to meet you. >> don't do that. how is your handshake. what not to do if you want a job, coming up. ♪

hello, thomas. hello, everybody. >> why one blogger says thomas the tank engine is making your toddler racist. not kidding. stay tuned. >> you're watching "fox & friends." that's a great way to begin your day. >> i never got into thomas the tank. but i never saw the potential backlash in the cartoon. >> there is passion behind thomas. >> all my kids grew up on it. >> how did they come out? >> they've come out okay so far. >> right. >> i haven't concluded things yet. >> based on that, one could recommend thomas the train. >> if you're a fan of thomas the tank engine, wait until you hear what somebody sees in that innocent little tv show. we're going to get that to you in just a minute. >> time to go back to maybe
speed racer? >> electric company, mickey mouse. >> two minutes after the top of the hour. right to a fox news alert. israeli missiles strike nearly 70 targets, including gaza's only power plant. john huddy is watching it all from the israeli-gaza border. john, so very big night last night for the israelis in terms of hitting targets. >> absolutely, it was, brian. good morning to you. we've been hearing artillery fire throughout the day from our location and seeing strikes in the distance behind me in gaza which has seen a lot of activity over the past 22 days. as you mentioned, there was a watt of activity overnight. there was an artillery strike on the gaza strip's largest power plant, a shell hit one of the fuel tanks that powers that power plant, erupting into an inferno. we're not sure how many people
are without power at this point. but you can expect probably a significant amount at this point. this as you mentioned, as the fighting raged on. israel's main objective throughout the 22 days has been to take out, destroy hamas' military infrastructure, in particular the cross border network of tunnels. yesterday we saw several israeli troops killed after hamas militants ambushed them, bringing the total number of israeli soldiers that have been killed up to 53. ten have been killed overnight, including several yesterday by mortar fire along the border as well. and also on the other side in gaza, about 40 people were killed since midnight, bringing that total up to more than 1100 and more than at this point, probably close to 6300 wound. although that number continues to change by the day, even by the hour. there is movement in terms of possible cease fire talks. we hear palestinian and even
hamas representatives may be going or on the ground in cairo trying to work out an egyptian-brokered agreement, something israel has been willing to accept with the stipulation it continues the objective of destroying hamas' military infrastructure. so that said, despite the uncertainty, perhaps something is in the works. this as you can see in the dance perhaps, the smoke continues to rise in gaza. brian, elisabeth, steve, back to you. >> thank you very much. last night benjamin netanyahu addressed the israeli people saying get ready for a long war. the two days ago, the big story was secretary of state john kerry digging in saying i got a great idea of how to get a cease fire. the israelis say you got to be kidding me. even a liberal newspaper in israel said john kerry is really no help here. >> there is nonstop criticism of kerry's attempts to bring in particularly turkey, who has been seen as defenders of hamas before. kerry was also accused by
israeli news of abandoning some of israel's key demands during negotiations, and one went as far as saying the plan kerry put out was a, quote, strategic terrorist. >> yeah. he is the first secretary of state in 20 years to fail at brokering a cease fire. it is embarrassing. none the less, the obama administration has got to prop up and spin this some way, so they're all out defending mr. kerry. watch this. >> our view is it's simply not the way that partners and allies treat each other. the reality is that john kerry, on behalf of the united states, has been working every step of the way with israel in support of our shared interest. >> israel has no better friend, no stronger defender. he has been tireless in his efforts and i think that israel
and many countries and friends around the world recognize exactly that. >> john kerry's error was he put so much emphasis on a quick halt, he solidified the role of hamas to the exclusion where he undercut the egyptians and israelis and the fatah movement which is trying to end hamas rule in gaza. this was a big mistake. >> dave ignatius wrote about that in the "washington post" and his connections to the middle east are without pier. brit hume went off on bill o'reilly's show. >> i think obama shares instinctively the sentiment and academic left, which favors israel's palestinian neighbors -- i guess where his instincts are. but the reason you don't see big public dustups between israeli leaders and any american president is it's terrible politics on both sides. israel depends heavily on its alliance with america for its security and its safety and israel is very popular in the u.s. congress and in the country
as a whole. >> surely. >> that's pretty much where you stand right now. that's why israel says we have got to finish the job in there and if you're going to leave the terror tunnels out, and leave them armed, we're going to be back in the same place. on a different note, one of the things you care about, immigration. >> as this week the clock is ticking as congress sets to take recessment the president set to take his p pen and announcing that executive amnesty may come into play. meaning amnesty for those crossing into the border, those have come on expired visas or illegally, as well as work permits for millions that have entered this nation, rattling the hearts and minds of the work force of americans coming forward and certainly those in congress who think this is quite unlawful. >> sure. so essentially with this would be is it would be executive amnesty and there are different versions of what the president and his men and women are proposing. it could be amnesty for the
parents of legal u.s. citizens. it could also be amnesty for the parents of the dreamers. so it could total 5 million -- >> or both. >> we don't know at this point. they've got a bunch of trial balloons out there and see which ones work and which ones blow up on them. look for something to happen shortly. >> 'cause the senate passed an immigration reform bill. the house did not. they do not believe the president is going to reinforce the border, so they see no point in coming up with a plan because that ultimately is an executive decision. so now the president is going to do this, almost baiting congress, believe it or not, to try to impeach him. the democratic mantra is look, the president is going to get impeached. >> taking an oath to abide by the law and uphold the law of this nation while at the same time violating it if he does take executive action. >> brian, to your point about impeachment, only democrats are talking about it. republicans, conservative, not
talking about it. only democrats. it's to gin up the base before november. time for some weather and we start with heather. boston? tornado? >> totally crazy. tornadoes in boston. we begin with this. a rare tornado barreling through a massachusetts suburb, just five miles outside of boston. take a look. >> look at the trees! >> that twister packing winds of up to 120 miles an hour, ripping a path of destruction. nearly two miles long. take a look at this car. totally flipped over on the sidewalk there. and then you can see the roof torn off buildings from above. the national weather service says this is the first twister to hit this area since they started keeping records back in 1950. but then also crazy weather out west. at least three tornadoes touching down in the denver area. one of them caught on camera near the airport. no reports of any major damage there.

hamas locations. but now this one was definitely targeting civilian locations. this gives you a pretty good example of what israelis have to deal with and throughout the course of the last 22 days of operation protective edge, how this impacts people in the area and also how it's hit a number of locations. pretty close. very close to us. we're all getting down on the ground almost. >> i see you have your helmet on. just to be clear, this came from the hamas side into the israeli side. you mentioned 70 targets the israelis hit. but hamas is shooting back. >> reporter: yeah, absolutely. i don't have the exact number so far of rocket launches. let me put it this way. we've seen throughout the morning rockets being fired from gaza. in fact, this morning in a city north of this strip where we're staying, we were woken up by the sound of the code red signal
warning about an impending rocket coming over. this amp right before we left as well there was a rocket that was intercepted by israel's iron dome defense system. so this one, whether it was a rocket -- it sounded like to me a rocket, could have been a mortar as well. it landed very, very close to our location. >> all right. john huddy, thanks so much. we'll check in again throughout the three-hour show. meanwhile, coming up straight ahead, she left her kids in a hot car to go to a job interview. all charges were dropped. now she's trying to get her kids back. does she deserve a second chance? that mom here live. and say it ain't so. red lobster getting fancy. no more discount deals? what about bibs? ♪ ♪ vo: this is the summer.

brian, over to you. congress set to adjourn for a five-week recess without an immigration deal. but one democrat and republican can agree on at least one thing. we should not have tried traded terrorists for bowe bergdahl a couple months ago. those congressmen join us now, john barrow, a democrat from georgia, and scott rijola republican from virginia. what brought you guys together. what bothered you about this deal? >> brian, the facts are not in dispute. the president broke the law when he transferred the five senior taliban commanders to the government of qatar. to prevent that from becoming precedent that either he or future administrations could rely upon, we thought it was important to put this legal marker in the ground and to repudiate, condemn clearly what the president did. >> congressman what, bothers you about the deal, that it was such a bad deal, lop sided for the taliban, or that it we want down
without your permission? >> both. both. it's not good for national security. mohammed fasul is the deputy minister of defense for the taliban. i'm confident and it troubles me to share this, that probably in a year or so, he'll be back on the battlefield when we'll still in all likelihood have american forces in afghanistan. so this is not -- that's not wise. and then this balance of powers situation here where the president is consistently going outside of his constitutional lane and ignoring the law. >> congressman bare -- barrow, they're supposed to tell you 30 days ahead of the deal. how does the law real? >> scott and i were concerned and objected to the whole violation of our long-standing policy, not to negotiate with terrorists. we were concerned about that from the get-go. but the thing that concerns us, the specific subject of this resolution is the failure to
comply with the law that the congress and president agreed to that before there would be any release of detainees from guantanamo bay, there would be a consultation with congress beforehand. checks and balances are important. it's important so both branches can get the best advice from the other when it has shared responsibility and both branches in this case agree on the process to be followed. prior consultation. >> this is more than a window dressing. there is a whole bunch of -- at gitmo, they could be out tomorrow without us knowing about it. >> the president and president bush actually released about 500 detainees from guantanamo bay and did so legally. but in this case, when the secretary of defense came before the house armed services committee on june 11, he really had no answer as to why the administration had like 80 or 90 members of the administration that were aware of this, but not one member of congress. senator feinstein hammered this and it's more than some check off the box.
there is a series of things that the administration has to give to congress to assure american security is not going in the wrong direction. and that's exactly what happened here. this is a serious matter. i appreciate mr. barrow standing with me in this. it's bipartisan effort. it's not personal to the president. but we've got to stop what the president is doing. when i go to virginia, people are saying, scott, what are you doing about this t? this is a practical step in responding to the president. >> guy, thanks so much for coming together, at least on this issue. hard to imagine in gates was in power this would have happened. just my opinion. thanks for your time. >> thank you. coming up straight ahead, she left her kids in a hot car to go on a job interview. charges were dropped. now she's trying to get her children back. does she deserve a second chance? that mom here live. and frenzy -- friendy prinze -- freddy prinze junior

world. okay. a rep for sutherland release ago statement saying keifer worked with freddy prinze junior more than five years ago and this is the first time he heard of the grievances. we love keifer sutherland here and his show. >> maybe he's got something to it. >> keifer madness. >> i loved his dad in "chico and the man." i don't know if that applies here. >> thanks, heather. moving on, thousands of people picking up the pieces after a rare tornado ripped through the town of revere, massachusetts. maria molina, they haven't seen a tornado around there since the 1950s. >> that tornado was confirmed as an ef-2, happened yesterday morning between 9:30 in the morning hours and had winds of up to 120 miles per hour. stayed on the ground for two miles. a little unusual there across parts of massachusetts. thankfully no injuries. there were a lot of reports of damage out there. i want to show you now your
current temperatures across portions of the great lakes and northeast. behind that storm system we do have much cooler air that moved in. we're seeing the temperatures in the 50s and 60s across the entire region, feel ago little bit more like fall. not summer. your high temperatures are going to remain below average, into the low 70s at cleveland. 70s in new york. but across the southern plains, still a hot day. 90s and triple digits. 109 for your high temperature in phoenix. out west, across portions of new mexico, colorado, and into nevada, we have flood watches in effect. heavy rain expected today. let's head back inside to elisabeth. >> thank you. this homeless mom in arizona was arrested for leaving her kids in a hot car so that she could go on a job interview. she claims she couldn't find a baby-sitter. prosecutors recently dropped criminal charges. she's grateful for the second chance. but should she have been given one? here to tell her story is the woman and her attorney. thank you both for being with us
this morning. we hear your story, read it all over the place. can you bring us back to that day in your mindset and heart of why your two little kids at six months and two years, you felt their best option was to stay in the car while you went inside? what happened that day? >> well, what happened that day was i had scheduled for a sitter to be available for the boys. that sitter was not available at the last moment, based on the time that i had, as well as the gas money that i had available, i didn't have the resources to go to the next nearest baby-sitter, which was about 30 minutes the opposite direction of where i needed to be. so it was just a lack of resources that day. >> when you look at the statistics, 120 children since 2011 that have died as a result of being in a hot car. in 2014, i think we have 17 kids that have died thus far. your two little babies, some
would say, could have been added to that statistic. you were just given a second chance with criminal charges not being on your record now. means you can get your kids back in your custody. looking back on that day, do you believe that you still did the right thing in the moment? >> i believe that i made a choice in a desperate situation. i had to choose between either providing for them or caring for them at that moment. and i made the best choice out of a bad set of options. >> would you do it again? >> i asked myself that 1,000 times and i keep coming back to the choice, on being able to provide or to care for them. that's a choice that many people are facing today. there are too many people trying to figure out how to keep quality childcare, as well as support the family and maintain all of their -- all the things they need to do as a family. so it's something that people face every day, unfortunately. >> the criminal charges were
dropped. benjamin, where does it go legally from here to getting the kids back? >> basically a couple weeks ago we were able to get the criminal charges dropped. now the next step is to focus on getting the kids back. we have a court date coming up in late august. we're going to go in front of the judge and the court and discuss with the state of arizona and child protective services the fastest way that we can unite miss taylor with her kids permanently. >> you have a nine-year-old daughter, i know this has to be extraordinarily challenging for her. what was the last thing you told her? >> the last thing i told her was i explained the situation. mommy made a bad choice and i had to pay the consequences for that. but at the same time, she knows me as a mother. she knows the efforts that i make to take care of the things that she needs. so she's not upset with me. she's just worried about the situation more than anything
else. worried that it will keep her and i separated for an extend amount of time. >> do you believe you'll get your children back? what do you say to those who say you should not? >> i believe i'll get them back because i'm doing everything and anything possible to get them back. to those that say that i don't deserve them back, i simply ask for that chance to prove myself. >> we're thankful your boys are okay. our best to your daughter. we want to thank you both for being with us today. a complex situation. thanks. >> thank you. >> thank you for having us. coming up, the government issuing a dire warning on the state of religious freedom around the world. but is warning enough? peter johnson, jr. with what the white house is not doing next. and your body language could be telling a different story than your words. >> so hey, what's you doing? >> hand check what, not to do if you want to land a job ahead.

peter johnson, jr. >> hope it gets good gas mileage. thank you very much. the state department is just issued a grim report on the state of religion and its world wide demise. the report says that in 2013, the quotation goes, the world witnessed the largest displacement of religious communities in recent memory. so what are the reports' recommendations and how can we improve on the situation? it didn't really say. here with what the administration is not doing to improve faith abroad, fox news legal analyst, peter johnson, jr. >> good morning. so what the state department did was issue a failing report card without any prescription for improving the grade. let's talk about some of the things that they focused on. syria. once had a christian population of 160,000. now down to 1,000 people. 160,000 to 1,000. then in nigeria, they focused on boko haram, killing more than 1,000 people and over 10,000
people have fled. we know what happened to those young girls and those students in nigeria because of boko haram. so then they focused on the european union. this is really interesting. a survey among jewish people in the eight-member states found as many as 48%, almost half have considered emigrating because of anti-semitism. finally, among the findings, in egypt, attacks on christians, in one week alone in august of last year totaled at least 42 churches, in addition to schools, orphanages and other christian facilities. so they've done this wide array of problems around the world in terms of persecution and discrimination. and then they've come up with their prescription to combat this. it's really staggering. i say that in a sarcastic way. they say, speak truth to power. use this report to defend religious freedom. perhaps you ball it up. then utilize programs, speeches
and statements and say, there is some moral persuasion. >> peter, 75% of the people across the globe live in countries that do not respect religion. and that's what they come up with? >> that's what they come up with and focused on certain countries. we touched on a few of them. there is something called the u.s. commission on international religious freedom, steve. they said in the past year that egypt, iraq, nigeria, pakistan, syria, and vietnam should be listed as countries of particular concern. we have nine. we pick out nine. just nine in the world to say these are countries that we have a problem with. they include burma, china, iran, saudi arabia, amongst others. but egypt, iraq, nigeria, pakistan, syria, vietnam, and we talked about a few of those, what's happening in syria, what's happening in nigeria, what's happening in egypt.
no, they haven't been listed. john kerry pointed to the problem in his own report. he says, i want to emphasize this effort is not about naming countries to list in order to make us feel somehow we've spoken the truth. i want our countries of particular concern designation to be plans to help change the reality on the ground and help people. the problem is they haven't named many of the countries that should be on that list! with regard to the countries that are on that list, this report really points to nothing tangible, concrete, substantive and effective to stem the tide of discrimination in the world against religions. especially judaism and christianity. >> the report is pitiful. >> waste of time. >> waste of time. peter johnson, jr. bringing that to our attention. thank you very much. coming up, even without words, your body language can say a whole lot more.

running errands. this new tape which hasn't been made public yet apparently shows her with trying cash from a local bank before heading to a gas station. herself and was turned off shortly thereafter. family is now offering a reward for her safe return. she has two young children. an alert now, a tornado barrows throw massachusetts suburbs five miles outside of boston. >> all broke. >> that twister packing winds of 120 miles per hour ripping a path of destruction two miles long. we rarely hear about this on the east coast so some pretty big news. look at this car, totally flipped over on the sidewalk and from above ec these roofs torn off the buildings. the national weather service saying this is the first wister to hit that area since they started keeping records in 1950. crazy weather out west, three
tornadoes touching down in the denver area. one of them caught on camera near the airport, no reports of any major damages. he has played golf 81 times since 2012 but all those rounds may not be helping his game. a golfer playing the congressional country club in maryland on sunday claims to have found his ball in the woods somewhere. he posted the picture, the president played the congressional yesterday and found this in the woods. full number 1. looks like he is off line again. that is the problem with gulf. no correlation between a lot of practice and being good. >> back there, very good. >> good at what? >> we know that the president has a phone and japan and the putter. apparently he will use his pen to essentially come up with executive amnesty.
according to a number of papers white house is going to use through executive amnesty action oil. they would issue work permitss to millions of illegals in the country with no threat of deportation. could be to the parents of legal u.s. citizens, the parents of a dreamer kids, nonetheless it could be five, six, seven, 8 million illegals could be impacted before the midterm is. >> the border crisis and this turning into a constitutional crisis as lawmakers on the hills stand up and say jeff sessions, one of the talk a lot yesterday about what is going on here. how is this protecting americans when we have a president working against the law. our laws say this is not possible. are we protecting american workers including legal immigrants? he pointed out again working people all over america would not be helped. african-americans would not be helped by this executive order for amnesty and work permits.
the cbo office says this is a mass amnesties that would cause america wages, wages fall for a decade. >> if we are worried about it being misinterpreted this new amnesty thing, remember the dream backed the president to get this if you are here and you are brought here as a kid you are now don't have to fear deportation. that message is essential and south america next thing you know thousands of kids coming to our borders thinking all i have to do is show up in darkens a year. the parents of kids that were born here now say i am here illegally but maybe the president will let me in. that will be misinterpreted too in the south to only exacerbate things but it might be a good thing to do before the midterm elections if you want to maximize the hispanic vote for some. see if he actually decides to do that. meanwhile there was a protest at the white house. turns out most people, the protesters were illegals who want their voice heard when it
comes to immigration reform so they had no fear coming out in front of 1600 pennsylvania avenue and will come back again. that is extraordinary to have that many people without -- keep in mind around the white house that bubble is one of the most secure areas in the world yet you have all these people without any sort of documentation who are protesting and to your point you are right, eyes agents told fox news absolutely no fear of deportation. for instance if somebody got arrested they look at their background but unless they have got some really hideous serious criminal record they would let from go. >> there should be no compromise when it comes to the law, just followed. national board patrol is still working, those in charge of the law putting it forward are about to set vacation as of the end of this week. heard from national border patrol council, who said we are not going on break. congress may be but we have work
to do. this is a big crisis. >> border patrol agents we will be on duty, we don't wake five weeks off, we will doing our jobs and that includes rescuing people especially kids who don't know survival skills. >> what we heard is he is talking about border patrol agents before the 7-10 border patrol agents not guarding the border because they are babysitting. last week we talked to the border patrol at the border and ice agents in charge of returning the. we had one agent on last week who said he essentially they are not being given any assignment. so they go ahead and stop some people but because they are not being given the assignment of returning from that is the message, they can stay, as long as you one. >> the big picture people looking at the present and the midterm elections, 98 days away. wondering how the president is doing in his confidence which was so strong in 2008 according
to the polls, so much smarter and more astute and more grounded now has reversed. >> obama is faltering badly on the confidence question and in doing so in periling his ability not only to a and actor second term agenda but democrats chances this fall. a series of events in the ongoing border crisis and the situation in ukraine, the nsa spying program badly undermined the idea that obama can effectively manage the government. two said of independents saying obama is not an effective manager. >> considering the washington post is a lefty newspaper and one of the columnists saying barack obama is box office poison for his party and we were telling you about the columnist who said the president essentially has -- this was for the daily collar and the
telegraph, the president has already checked out of the job, phoning it in, sleepwalking through his second term and is ready for an early departure. maybe that is his opinion but keep in mind he is running the country. how does that impact all of us. that is not good. not a positive thing. >> the president might be checked out but does not want to lose the senate so look to push the idea the republicans want to in peach him. wherever you go leadership, democratic leadership, there are e-mails saying republicans are trying to impeach me, look out to try to rally his base. >> when it comes to romneycare, the pending executive order as released amnesty and work papers, now we will maybe perhaps in more of a crisis when it comes to employment. millions more are granted the right to work. >> the president wants to do well in the midterm elections or his party does the immigration at least be in charge, the israeli gaza situation, there's a end in sight.
solve the situation in iraq, make a decision. all these issues would restore the president's confidence ratings. >> i don't know. it could be a little weight on some of that stuff. kind of baked into the cake. >> is he out of time? >> we are out of time for this segment. for mother who left her kids and a hot car once a second chance, does she deserve it. hear her case. >> one candidate for congress and in a message to the white house they cannot ignore. >> where did they think their electricity comes from? i will make sure president obama gets the message. >> did we mention she is a democrat? she is joining us live in our studio next. >> keep her away from our light switch. staples for back to school.

and i'll stand up to leaders of oath parties who threaten our way of life. i'll make sure president obama gets the message. >> where is that light switch? natalie tenant wants to be the next senator from west virginia. she's currently secretary of state. welcome. >> what's behind the ad? >> thank you for having me here. >> thank you for having me here. virginia coal miners. it's sending a message. this isn't about -- you're talking about democrat. but this isn't a democrat or republican. this is about west virginia and whether the president wants to recognize it or not, coal still produces 40% of the electricity for this country. >> it fuels west virginia. and senator manchin on here before. >> i reference him, too. that we work together for our west virginia coal miners to make sure that we have jobs, 'cause when we talk about west virginia coal miners, it is
families, it is mortgages that they're trying to pay. we're getting ready to go back to school and they're trying to send their children back to school. >> we see the lights go out in the white house. so what is president obama getting wrong? how would his actions affect west virginia? >> these regulations are attacking our coal jobs and what we're asking and what i'm asking is don't attack our coal jobs with regulations that are unrealistic and unattainable. work with us because if you invest in west virginia, we will deliver for you, advance coal technologies that yes, can cut emissions and save jobs at the use that investment. >> but you know, there are a lot of people who go, we got to get rid of the dirty coal or all the coal. those people don't realize that when they plug in their electric car in the garage, they're they plug in their electric car in the garage they're planning into a coal plant. >> you see that here. where do you think your where do you think your >> so people look at you, you're in a pretty much red state. >> people with you, you are a
red state. >> i dispute that. we have a 2-1 registration advantage for democrats. ten of our 13 statewide elected officials are democrats, house and senate are democrats. >> joe mansion is close to a moderate democrat in the senate. judging by his track record and what he has been like here do you think it is to your advantage to appear with senator warren of massachusetts who is known as the liberals's liberal? >> when i look at senator warren and together we know we don't agree on everything and -- don't agree on everything and -- don't we agree on making sure our students have the ability to middle-class, we agree on making sure our students have the ability to have an affordable college education and that they be indented with student loans. we also agree on taking care of coal miners. introduced with senator rockefeller that i will continue the bankruptcy fairness law where many retirees coal miners ended up on the wrong side of

even though it was built in 1947. something that wasn't doable. >> and so why were they telling you to do that while they weren't telling the other people on your block to do it? >> that's exactly where the confusion was, i tried to ask them why me? if die it, then that means i'm submitting the rest of the neighborhood to the same process. >> absolutely. so you started the process. you started to fix things and they kept coming back and kept saying, while you're at it, fix this and this. eventually you hired an engineer to help you, right? >> that is correct. >> what did he do? >> they proved that there was no structural issues with the house and everything that they wanted could be done and we had plans drawn and engineer report and once the architect went to ask for the permit, the same guy that was making the building official, he denied the permit for building. >> so you were on it.
you were trying to comply. then out of nowhere, they demolish your house. did you have notice that they were about to do that? >> negative. there was no court order for us to vacate or anything. >> how did they get away with that? >> the building department, they're their own entity. they have the power to do basically whatever they want. because this was a personal issue. they did exactly that. >> okay. so last week a judge ruled in favor of you, saying the county should have delayed the building code violation proceedings against you while you were on active duty overseas. so they smacked down the county. now that you have won, what do you want? >> i just want this to be over. it's been hard for our family. some people might think the money will make up for it.
there is nothing that makes up for a lost home and all the memories that came with it. >> okay. so i understand from your attorney you want the city to drop all the liens, including the demolition costs and suspend all code enforcement and pay $395,000 as well. is that correct? >> that is accurate. >> okay. and in the meantime, you moved on. you're in texas, right? >> yes. >> and you just want it to be behind you. what a terrible story. we hope you wind up with some justice, sergeant. thank you very much for joining us today from texas and telling us your story. >> thank you. >> good luck to you. that is just a little crazy. it is now 12 minutes before the top of the hour. a fox news alert. talks of a new cease fire agreement happening as we speak in gaza. but is the united states treating israel as the bad guy? former israeli ambassador to the united states, that man right there, michael orr, joins brian next. first let's check in with

temporary peace. but our next guest says the only way to end this crisis in the middle east is to crush hamas. the former ambassador to the united states is with us. how long will it take to crush hamas? very few in the west would be sad if they were to disappear. how long would that take? >> good morning to you. it may take a while. what israel needs is time and space. we've been through this round, this cycle again and again where the terrorists shoot rockets at us. we fire back. the world imposes a cease fire. the terrorists use that cease fire to build up their rocket arsenals, then fire again with even longer range rockets and bigger rockets. the whole thing starts -- we got to break this cycle right now. to do that, you got to deliver something close to a death blow to hamas. you got to get them into a situation where they're not going to use those rockets. >> they're in charge of gaza. they merged with the palestinian authority. you have to get rid of every single one of them to ask them
to leave or killed? >> we're talking about demille tearizing the dealership. they can stay there. they don't have rockets, what goes on from gaza is their business. as long as they're not firing at israeli citizens, as long as they're not digging tunnels under our cities, our farms to come up and kill our civilians, that's their business. >> ambassador, the long run, if you destroy every tunnel, they know how to make them. they'll make them again. how do you stop that? do you look for a long-term israeli presence in gaza after the violence stops? >> i think the idea is to get out of gaza as soon as possible once the work is done. but you have to develop a type of underground iron dome defense system, iron dome is the revolutionary israeli antiballistic system that has taken down hundreds of rockets over our city, including this city, tel aviv. we need an underground version of that. the united states faces very similar challenges with tunnels under its southern border. we haven't come up with a
yet. but we came up with a technological answer for missiles, we'll come up with one for the tunnels. >> you know about the world of diplomacy and witnessing this fires. josh earnest is calling on israel to do better. listen. >> israel and their political leaders often talk about the high standards that they put in place for their military operations to ensure the safety and well-being of civilians on the palestinian side of the border. based on published reports, it's apparent that there is more that they should do to live up to those standards that they have set. >> ambassador. >> more you could do? >> i came to my job as ambassador not as a diplomat, but as a military historian. i'll tell you right off that there has been no army in the history of warfare that has done more to minimize civilian casualties, whether it's dropping thousands of leaflets, sending text message, making phone calls to palestinian
civilians, telling them to leave areas where combat is about to take place. >> having said that, are you insulted by the charge? >> i wonder what published reports they're basing them on. are they basing them on al gentleman sneer a reports? are they basing them on reports from the united nations is this which is scarcely -- which is scarcely an objective source about israel. a few years ago we had the report that had israel guilty of war crimes and then found it was false and they had to apologize for them. i personally take strong objection to the fact that we're not doing enough. we're doing a super human job to avoiding casualties. >> straight ahead, atheists vowed to remove the cross from the 9-11 memorial. the decision is in. we'll share it pain from your day can haunt you at night, don't let it.

meanwhile, across the potomac river, the lights are out at the white house. no one is home. president obama still on vacation. and today, he was back on the golf course, that is despite being slammed from the left and the right. democrats and republicans both slamming him about playing golf yesterday, and that was just minutes after talking to the nation about the beheading of an american journalist, and john bolton joins us. good evening, sir. the optics matter and it's hard to pay a lot of attention to these issues if you're not around. >> i think that's an important point, but honestly, i wouldn't mind if the president played golf morning, noon, and night if he cared about the national security of the united states. that's the real problem. he doesn't focus on it, he doesn't understand it even after five and a half years of on the job training, he still doesn't get it. that's why this news conference today between secretary hagel and general dempsey is so incredibly contrasted with what the president said yesterday. the pentagon, as you say, is on
full alert. and i don't think the president yet understands the nature of the isis threat. >> is it that he doesn't understand it or is he incredibly rude? the american people care about this stuff. this is a well funded, very fluid situation because they can move around the world quite quickly. we know, why isn't -- is it the fact they call him in jv in january, doesn't he get it? >> he hasn't apparently changed his mind. he said isil speaks for now religion. it has no value to human beings. that's repudiated by the ground. if you don't understand the nature of the threat, you're never going to have a strategy to deal with it. i think we have, as the briefing said today, a real crisis. we need a strategy in response. i think the strategy ought to be to eliminate the threat, not to contain it, but to eliminate it, as secretary kerry himself has said. >> is it possible, you know, a lot of people are appalled he's playing golf. i would like to see my president
pay more attention. is it behind the scenes maybe he's doing a lot of that? >> i think the golf is the wrong thing to focus on. i found a picture earlier today of dwight eisenhower during world war ii laughing on the front green of the st. andrew's golf course in scotland. you could say what is eisenhower doing on a golf course? the answer is, life goes on. and if we had a president anywhere close to dwighti eisenhow eisenhower's capabilities, it wouldn't bother me. we should focus on what the real problem is, which is a commander in chief who is not competent to do the job. >> you say he's not competent. maybe he's speaking to prime minister cameron six times a day, maybe he's doing these things and speaking to secretary hag hagel, general dempsey. >> that would not be the pattern of the last five and a half years. at some point, you have to produce a strategy. i think there is a strategy to defeat the islamic state as they now call themselves and i think it's important to do it sooner rather than later before they
consolidate territory, before they become a magnet for other terrorists. there are estimates, for example, that 500 of the terrorists they now british citizens. we don't know how many are americans. these are people who could come back to europe, come back into this country with a valid passport they already have. that is a real threat for the united states. >> what is president obama's strategy on isis? >> i don't think he has a strategy. i think that's the problem. he's driven from one tactical response to another. so you're worried about 30,000 or 40,000 iia yeedys being massacred, you're worried about personnel in erbil, the mosul dam being opened and flooded the valleys down toward baghdad, so there are pinprick responses, but none of this constitutes a strategy. he hasn't defined our objectives. he hasn't tried to define how he wants to go about that. there is no evidence he's building an international
coalition. i still don't think he understands the internal political situation in iraq or iran's influence there. it's just completely disconnected from the reality that is evolving minute by minute on the ground. >> ambassador, thank you, sir. >> thank you. >> tonight, we have new information about the failed mission to rescue american hostages held in syria. jennifer griffin life at the white house with the latest. jennifer. >> greta, defense secretary chuck hagel told reporters at the pentagon he regretted the mission to rescue foley did not succeed, adding isis is a sophisticated and well funded as any terrorist the united states has ever seen. unusually strong words from the secretary of defense. he warned americans, to quote, get ready, without specifying what that meant. chairman of the joint chiefs, general martin dempsey said air strikes alone will not destroy isis and suggested action needed to be taken against isis targets in syria, though not necessarily
he said by the united states. in terms of the failed rescue mission, u.s. military sources tell me the special operations team that attempted the rescue was on the ground longer than they expected. when they got to the first compound, the hostages weren't there. there was evidence they had been there just days before. they got into a firefight. one u.s. aviator was injured. the intelligence leads for the operation came from interviews with two spanish and four french hostages released this spring. they described where they were being held in eastern syria. they said they were held by british jihadists. the executioner in the video speaks with an east london accent. the u.s. air force helped the government retake the mosul dam, foley's captors sent his parents a venom filled rant via e-mail suggesting they would kill foley in response to u.s. air strikes in iraq. previously, they had asked for 100 million gryos or $132
million in ransom according to his employer at the global post. there were additional six air strikes in iraq against isis targets and 90 since august 8th. isis is still holding at least three american hostages. their lives hang in the balance tonight. >> jennifer, thank you. so what's up with the cia? isis is clearly not jv, despite president obama saying that in january of this year. now there's news of this dangerous operation totally botched because of bum intelligence, and the white house now facing some criticism for releasing details of the failed rescue mission. major general bob scales joins us. >> good evening. >> looking at this failed effort to rescue, it seems to me that they went there to do the rescue and nobody was there, which means that we had the worst intelligence possible. >> well, first of all, let's remember that saving someone is an order of magnitude more difficult than killing someone.
>> right, but the president has to be there to save him. >> so the intelligence situation for a hostage rescue is sort of like a rolling event. in fact, these guys were getting intelligence updates while they were actually flying into the target, so the intelligence gathering is much greater, but your point is well taken. this is not a failure of operations. this is a failure of intelligence. you're risking the lives of the very competent team and an enormous amount of hardware to go into a site that was vacated two days before. that's a failure of strategic intelligence to your point. >> what is the military saying tonight because general dempsey has said today rather terrifying things. he talk about open borders and immigration issues and it's an immediate threat, isis. he also said if isis gains what it intends to gain, it creates a security environment that would certainly threaten us in many ways. he said air strikes are not enough, but we had six today. so, you know, and ambassador
bolton said we have no strategy. >> what's so interesting, first of all, the response i got from my military friends was overwhelmingly negative. >> negative towards whom? >> towards the slagz letting out the details of this failed hostage rescue because they're saying wait a minute, it affects our ability to gather intelligence, and it also affects surprise. now, isis knows that we're on the hunt for them, and that complicates this whole idea of surprise enormously. the reason it almost worked is isis got complacent. they're not going to be complacent anymore. >> that's about one american and it's enormously important. it's the bigger picture that isis is growing, that air strikes aren't going to be enough. nobody wants to say boots on the ground, and the president is away, and ambassador bolton says we have no strategy. pretty soon the media is going to pull out because it can't have everyone beheaded and we
won't get any information at all from there. >> you notice dempsey's body language is, look, i know what the president said, and what the ambassador said is absolutely true, but i'm telling you this is far more serious than the body language we're getting from the administration. i'm telling you those in uniform understand the threat of isis. you heard him say very important, air strikes aren't enough. >> was that to the president? >> i think it was to a degree. if air strikes aren't enough, what is enough? an escalation of an american presence in iraq? yes. is it gives the mepesh murgy weapons? does it mean operating forces operating not only in iraq but clandestinely in syria as well? absolutely. >> are they asking that from the president and they're not getting it or what is it? >> a, they're asking for it, and they're pushing the limits with the administration. they want a strategy. they also want a campaign plan. after you get a strategy, then you have to have a long-term campaign plan.
this is going to last years. it's not the next bombing strike or thehostage. >> if isis grows so fast and they're so well funded, this is unlike any other enemy we have had because there's so much money. >> absolute lay, and what the military is trying to do is get ahead of it. i think dempsey understands clearly this is a multiyear campaign that is going to have to eventually involve congress, the administration, and the american people. he's trying to set the conditions and tell the american people, get ready. this is all starting over again. >> general, thank you, sir. nice to see you. it's very difficult to think it could get worse, but it is. right after beheading james foley in that horrific video, isis threatening that other american journalist sotloff will be next. this woman has met with the family in miami. she joins us. good evening. >> thank you, greta. i'm just going to talk briefly about my limited role in this case. i had the opportunity to meet with steven's parents in miami
as well as in d.c. and had a phone conversation with them. we have kept in touch with the state department, with the fbi, cia, national security council, the white house. they have all been keeping the family abreast. and the family has wanted to be very low key, private. they have made limited statements. the mom today said he's alive. so that's very good news. and then the boyfriend of the sister just said sign the petition and change.org and pray. and so what i can say is that i just can't imagine as a mother and as a grandmother the kind of ordeal that this has been for the family. it's almost a year to the day when i met with them and debbie wasserman schultz and ted deitch have also been helping, but it's very difficult to have had our agencies get the information from a terrorist organization. i would say that now, every is
really in operation to try to rescue him. and i'm cautiously optimistic, and i hope that your viewers will pray for his life as well. >> you know, i think, we all want him to come home. we're all sort of suspicious having seen or heard of the video with mr. foley and what his family has gone through and an operation where the pentagon did try to rescue him, and i appreciate the members of the military trying to do that, but the problem we have here is we're dealing with a very different, vicious, vsavage grume, and it doesn't seem, at least from the outside, it doesn't seem we have a strategy. a few air strikes and bombing them with drones is sort of maintain the status quo, but that's it. we have a far bigger situation, at least i think. am i wrong? >> i think you're correct. especially it's a shame because we have a natural group, the kurds, who are willing fighters, who want to take arms against
isil. they need our help. and they need far more than these limited air strikes. they want weapons. they want the ammunition. they're willing to fight this terrorist organization that's going to stop at nothing, so we pray for steven's life. we pray for all the journalists being held there, and steven is sadly not alone. but i think that if we are able to help those folks in iraq and in syria who are willing to take on these guys, i think that we can turn this around. it is not hopeless, and i think that our military can do it. we have the hardware and we have drones. we have great intelligence. >> don't tell me about the great intelligence. i'm not big on it. i actually am deeply disturbed that cia director brennan has been spending his time spying on senate staffers, and then -- >> that's a shame, i agree, greta. >> it's a shame because this is
what he should -- i don't know if you could have better intelligence, but i would much rather have him paying attention to isis than what a bunch of senate staffers are doing on their computers. >> even the german leader and the president of brazil. i mean, we have done a very bad intelligence operation, but i think in terms of getting the drones and getting to know where these folks may be, i hope that they can find steven, and i hope that they can save him. and that's my prayer every day for that family. >> but then you've got the whole problem with all those people who are part of isis carrying passports for western europe, and you've got a very rich organization. are we boog truly realistic about what we're dealing with. i want to get steven back, too, but are we focusing on the big picture? are we doing that? >> we kept -- we did not keep our eye on the ball. this terrorist organization more
from what president called jv organization, that is really just a regional problem, to an international headache, a massive terrorist organization that has no respect for human life. and we let precious months go by. >> how could he even in january have referred to them as jv if he had good intelligence? where's our intelligence community in getting information about isis. isis didn't suddenly become awful people six weeks ago. they have been there, they have been on the ground. i don't know, you know, i assume the president is getting his information from our intelligence, the cia and everything. >> sadly, we're getting back to a pre-9/11 mentality and that's very dangerous. these terrorists are still there. they are our enemies. we have to defeat them. that's what we should be focusing on every day. >> agreed. agreed. anyway, representative, thank you. >> thank you, greta. >> viewers, you heard defense
secretary hagel say isis is not just well funded. it's rich. well, it's very rich. it robbed a bank in mosul in june and got $425 million. that's just starters. it now has oil and lots of it. the former deputy assistant secretary of defense under president reagan joins us. i want to focus on the oil money. what do they have? >> well, they've got a number of things. in eastern syria, they've got oil wells. in western iraq, they have oil wells and refineries. as you pointed out, they robbed a bank to the tune of half a billion with a "b." they're thought to have roughly two billion. they're getting revenue from selling extra weapons, from selling antiquities and kidnappings and ransoms. they're getting nearly $2 million a day. that makes them not only the best equipped military because they have all of the state of the art american kwipt, but it
makes them the richest. if you take that coupled with the fact they're somewhere near 7,000 european passport holders fighting in syria and iraq and several hundred american passport holders, in other words, those groups could come to the united states. they're rich. they've got money, seed money. they can form cells and they're clearly not afraid of anything. in fact, the leader of isis has said in the past, see you in new york. their goal is to bring the fight to america. >> just let the viewers get a sense of this. they now control seven oil fields and two small refineries, and they've got all this oil. they're selling 40,000 barrels a day, which is about $2 million a day. they sell it on the black market for anywhere from $25 to $60, when if they were selling it on the regular market, it would be $102, so people want to buy it from them. people are buying lots of oil from them. they're getting money.
it's coming in over the transom. >> what are they using the money for? they used to be called al qaeda in iraq. they didn't have a very good experience. they got kicked out by the sunni tribes for being too violent and too brutal. they had a rebranding. they're taking over the areas and holding them. how? because they're paying off, they're offering bribes to the sunni tribes, and they're no longer violent to those people as they used to be. they're letting the local guys run it. they're saving their violence for christians, for religious minorities, for everybody who doesn't agree with them. >> k.t., thank you. >> yeah, thank you. >> and while the world focuses on the brutality of isis, another islamic extremist group, boko haram is growing and terrorizing africa. they seized control of another nigerian town, hosting their flag over the local government building, but it gets worse.

not just from republicans but democrats too for continuing his vineyard vacation in the middle of the isis crisis. how did president obama respont to yesterday's mounting criticism? you guessed it. today, he made a beeline back to the golf course. joining us, our political panel. bob kustak, susan, and steven. bob, first to you, what do you think? the president immune to this? >> i don't think he's immune. the optics don't look good. these are eight rounds of golf. i mean, michelle obama must be a very understanding spouse. i can't play a couple rounds of golf when i'm on vacation, but i do think because the world is on fire, but i don't think obama cares. i really don't. and clearly -- >> why doesn't he care? because he thinks it's not a problem or he doesn't care? >> he doesn't care about the golf criticism because he continues to do it and he says, hey, i'm on vacation.
it's a working vacation. i came back to washington. >> which was weird. has anyone figured out why he came back? >> it was a really important party by his assistant chef and that msnbc host. he was there if four or five hours. you don't want to miss a party like that, greta. >> susan, your thought on the president? >> so the top golfer of all time was president eisenhower. 800 rounds of golf during his presidency. right now, obama is right at about 200 rounds. we can't just criticize him for golfing allot, but it's pairing the golfing trips with the crisis on the world stage and then you look at the way the public views his aptitude for foreign policy. it's in the 30s or 40s. the public is catching on that he's not really interested in foreign policy, but we really need a president at this point who can lead on foreign policy because of what's going on in the middle east. >> i'll tell you another issue. you talk about foreign policy. it's very important that the president be able to lead in the
foreign policy realm. that includes having influence around the world. the brits woke up today to a front page of their newspaper, the daily mail, and the president is in a golf cart laughing with alonzo mourning because of this. where david cameron rushes back to london. >> the president and his team should be noticing if they're finally returned from the 18 hole that this is coming from the new york daily news. this is not coming from crazy right wingers complaining about this from the beginning. it's not the number of golf or the fact he plays golf. it's the contrast. one of the most tired lines. obama has used it like 30 times, whenever there is a crisis, we will not rest. that sounds good. we're really determined. we're fired up, and in many cases he literally goes on vacation or goes on to a political fund-raiser, to golf, after saying that. >> he went off to a fund-raiser. it looks like he doesn't care. i would love to know right now what people, his closest
advisers, people who surround him, what are they saying to the president right now? because surely they're notets -- >> did you see senator claire mccaskill's quote? >> it's like eating spinach to him. he does not enjoy spending time -- >> that's right. a long complaint that he doesn't work with them. >> he doesn't have anyone around him to tell him, mr. president, maybe cut it back on the golf. i don't think he does. the person who could tell him that was rahm emanuel and he's long gone from the white house. >> think the biggest criticism if he showed up more often during the day and talked to the american people or we saw more of the generals talking to him, we had an impression he was doing other things, that's the problem. >> right now, as we talked before on this panel, he's looking beyond his presidency. that's why they call him the president in semiretirement. he's been criticized for not having his head in the game. >> panel, thank you. up next, we'll take you to ferguson, missouri, as the sun
sets. the town is braszing for more protests. >> and the police officer who fatally shog michael brown. was the police officer hurt? more next. we're the names you know, in the places you want to be. where you can explore super destinations and do everything under the sun. twelve brands. more hotels than anyone else in the world. for a chance to win one million dollars, visit wyndhamrewards.com a body at rest tends to stay at rest... while a body in motion tends to stay in motion.

you're looking live at the streets of ferguson, missouri, where the sun is soon to set. if there is trouble tonight, we'll see it first right here any moment. missouri's governor ordering the national guard to leave the town. on the record has a team on the ground monitoring the situation.
we spoke with missouri highway patrol captain ron johnson. >> thank you for taking the time. >> sure. >> i know you're tired. i'm exhausted. more importantly, how are your men doing? >> they're doing good. they're energized. they're committed to getting things back to normal. >> tell me a little bit about the operation as a whole, how it's going. >> there's a lot of hope last night. i think everybody went home thinking there is a lot of hope this is going to get back to normal. and they appreciate it. >> you have what you call agitators and criminals with peaceful protesters exercising their first amendment rights, many of them out of towners. >> many of them out of towners but let's not let it get lost. we have many people who live here in missouri who are also part of the problem. many people here in north county who are from surrounding areas that are part of the problem. there's a good mixture of issues we're dealing with, and we're going to deal with them, but
there are a lot of great people. >> tell me, if you will, what are the biggest challenges you've got? what are your big hurdles right now as we go forward? >> our biggest hurdles are bringing this community back to a sense of a normal environment, allowing these businesses to get back. allowing the schools to reopen. and allowing the homeowners to get back out in the communities. so that's a challenge we have, and to do that, we have to rid these criminals and agitators of this community. we're going to do that by whatever means we need to. our guys are going to protect that. we're going to make sure they have the proper gear on to train for that. i was asked last night why they're wearing helmets with shields. for a sense of protection. it's not a sense of intimidation. it's a sense of protection with bottles and urine and some of those things thrown at them. >> any idea how this ends? >> it ends in peace. >> thank you, captain. >> thank you. and kris jenkins joins us
live from ferguson. >> hi, greta. captain johnson is doing a remarkable job of leading this operation, but he couldn't do it without the brave men and women serving tirelessly out here day after day. and the equipment like the bearcats, an armored vehicle that is used here across the united states to break barricades. it looks like something you would see in a war zone, and we went for a ride in it as we hit the streets of ferguson last night. there was a perception this is an ominous looking vehicle but you need that in this situation when you're being shot at. >> yeah, we have taken a lot of gunfire and projectiles. you know, throughout the last 12 days. so, you know, we have had a lot more injuries, so yeah. it kept everybody safe, everybody back here, all the officers back here, the ones who have been getting out of the vehicle, they want to go home to see their families, and you
know, this is to keep them safe. >> greta, that bearcat we were in obviously didn't get shot at last night, thank goodness, and the folks that couldn't be happy seeing law enforcement officers, but without that, they wouldn't be able to be in such a difficult situation. lieutenant colonel dierks that i was with last night said in the 28 years he's been here in missouri on the force, he's never seen protests like this and as violent. what is left out of this story very often is these men and women. 12 days now, they have families many of them, serving hour after hour, day after day, night after night, trying to keep the peace here, and without them, it would be a very different place. greta. >> thank you. and we're 12 days into this investigation, still no answers to critical questions. was officer darren wilson hurt? if so, where was he hurt, how
badly, and how far away from michael brown was officer wilson when he pulled the trigger? on the record, defense lawyer ted williams has more from ferguson. good evening. the lingering question, trying to piece this together to find out to what extent the officer was hurt, how much was he hurt, and where, what part of his body? >> hi, greta. you know, you have just asked the $64,000 question. what we had last night was unconfirmed ro eed reports that reported that the officer suffered from a fractured eye socket. injury. but there's been another change of unconfirmed information put out there, that he did not have a fractured socket eye injury, but that he suffered a swollen jaw. greta, i don't think we're going to be able to find out right away. i think that there are certain sources that are putting bits and pieces of information out there, and there are other sources that are -- that we have
not been able to unfortunately verify. but i have to tell you, greta, i have been out among all of those demonstrators, just to try to find out what their thinking was. you knee, we see them night after night, but i'm going to bring you their thinking. take a look at this. >> he ran, and because he had his hands up, that is an act of surrender. you do not shoot, and even prisoners of war get better treatment than that. >> i believe it was how many shots? six? at close range. i don't see how you would think someone would survive that. >> i feel he could have tased him because they have other means instead of using the gun on the young man, and then the officer probably feared for his life because the boy was standing 6'4" and that man looked real little. >> police is not supposed to kill our children. they are supposed to protect them. >> they think they can just shoot, shoot, shoot. i'm not saying all police
officers are bad, but this one right here, it was an unjustified killing. >> i think everybody should be treated fairly, but to me in this case, fairness and justice for him would be that he's indicted and he's arrested and charged with first degree murder. >> greta, as you can see, everybody has an opinion here. and all of the opinions differ. some want officer wilson to be prosecuted. some want him to be arrested. some, if they could, would want him hung. the emotions are running high. it's hard to decipher who it wants to be fair in this whole entire scenario. >> and the most disturbing thing is, as you say, ted, everybody has an opinion, but nobody has the facts. we don't have the toxicology report, whether there's clothes, whether there's any gun powder residue. there's so many facts we don't
have. anyway, ted, stay with us. >>. up next, the calls getting louder for the prosecutor in the brown case to recuse himself from this investigation. should he? our legal panel is here next. . . .
get ready to crack, dunk, dip... it's crabfest at red lobster! the year's largest variety of crab! like new! crab lover's trio! or try new! jumbo lump crab over wood-grilled salmon. crabfest is now... but ends soon! so hurry in and sea food differently!
protesters taking to the street in clayton, missouri, demanding the prosecutor recuse himself from the michael brown case, but -- joining us, our legal panel, ted williams is back, and katie fang. katie, your thoughts. should the prosecutor step aside for this case only? not get out of his job but step aside in this case? >> i'm going to say no. i may take some heat for it, but i'm going to say no. i'm sure the optic would be great, greta, for him to basically recuse himself from this prosecutor, but there's been no suggestion, nothing objective that would suggest he needs to step down from this. at this point in time, i think they need to continue to do his job. do it objectively, and do it
well. >> all right, ted, your turn. >> greta, we've got a game of chicken and politics being played here between two men. we have the governor of the state of missouri who has declared a state of emergency and who could replace the prosecutor. we have the prosecutor who is saying that if the governor tells me that he wants to replace me, i will go. now, what's significant about that, greta, is that this is the same governor, governor nixon, who has come out and just about said that this police officer irrespective of what the evidence is, should be prosecuted. so at any time the governor -- >> should the prosecutor stay on the case or not? >> well, i think that the prosecutor should stay on the case, or i think the pressure and the world is looking at him, and i think he should stay on the case, absolutely. >> all right, i'm going to disagree with both of you, and i know all the viewers are going
to jump all over me. >> i expected that. >> i will. >> i'm going to tell the viewers why. i want the viewers to know one thing. i am not saying this prosecutor can not be fair. i'm assuming he's the fairest person in the world. i'm saying he should take a longer vision of this in this unique case because if he presents it to a grand jury and there is no indictment, the community is going to be in an uproar and say he was biased and unfair because his father, who was a police officer in a course of an arrest was shot and killed by a black man. so that is going to be horrible. if, on the other hand, the prosecutor gets an indictment against the police officer, then people are going to say you can indict a ham sandwich and he only did it to sort of quiet the community. because of the unique circumstances and because i would suggest that even though i'm saying he's fair is on this particular case, take the long vision. step aside, let his first assistant do it, and i would
also say there's some sort of guidelines from the national association of prosecutors which says you should recuse yourself if you think people will view you as unfair. take me on. >> katie, let me go at her first. i could not agree with you. if you take this prosecutor off, the governor then, let's say, appoints someone. suppose that person doesn't get an indictment, so what happens then? >> i'm saying take the first assistant in the office. he has a lot of assistants. katie? >> but greta, aren't you creating a slippery slope problem. let's say he recuss himself and the first assistant -- by the way, some of the first assistants are presenting to the grand jury right now. he himself is not doing it. putting that aside, fast forward a little bit, greta. what if you have the same common denominator of facts? then he does have abobligation to recuse himself then because he did it before?
you don't succumb to the pressure. >> katie is right, greta. >> citizens are so raw and have taken to the streets on both sides, i think this is the one case in a million where you try to take a longer look and you try to do everything you can to try to build up on both sides of this dispute. people have taken sides and we haven't heard the facts. everyone has made a decision, and we haven't heard a single fact, but that's what i would do. >> come on, greta. if you do it on this case, and i hear you say the one case, but then it will be the two case, and the three case. you can't set this kind of a precedent. you put the pressure on this prosecutor. the whole world is looking at him. the whole world knows about him. and he, i believe, is going to do the right thing. >> let me give katie the last word. you have ten seconds and then we have to go. i'm giving you the last word. >> well you know what, you have to consider this. the man has a history like we all do. i know his father was killed in the line of duty when he was 12
years old and the perpetrator was an african-american. i know there was a huge scandal or this big controversy that happened back in 2000 when he did not indict the two white detectives that shot the two unarmed african-american drug suspects. but you know what? that was 14 years ago. that was how many years ago in terms of his father being murdered? i think everybody needs to take a step back and look at it with some objectivety and say he hasn't shown he can't do the job well so let him do his job. >> ted and katie, thank you both very much. straight ahead, i'm going to talk to you off the record. i'm going to tell you why the whitehouse.gov documepatricians phony. ♪ [ dog barks ] ♪ [ male announcer ] imagine the cars we drive...

managing editor of news website bobby ghosh and columnist for "the new york times" david ignatius. what are you a columnist of? >> the news keeps getting worse and worse and worse. you have netanyahu saying to us, mind your own business. he tells kerry that. and then the news that happens after that. my god. shows we can't mind our own business. >> you have two sides clearly we will talk about, obviously, most in the morning, but two sides and neither side has someone with the courage to stand up' say let's figure out how to end this. >> seven-hour truce is under way in the gaza strip. israeli is pulling back on its ground operations while leaving the door open to further strikes against the militants. on sunday an israeli missile strike killed ten people at a
u.n. school, where thousands of civilians were taking cover from the fighting of the attack which was apparently aimed aat a passing motorcycle who left dozens of palestinians injured. it also sparked intense criticism from the international community, including the state department, that's something that doesn't usually happen towards israeli, which said the united states is, quote -- this is very strong language coming out of the united states state department -- appalled by the disgraceful shelling. the u.n. went further calling the israeli action, quote, a moral outrage and a criminal act. israeli's continued air campaign fell over last week's broken cease-fire and after that truce collapsed, prime minister benjamin netanyahu reportedly sold senior america officials, quote, not to ever second-guess me again. meanwhile, germany's leading newspaper says israeli intelligence agencies
eavesdropped on secretary of state john kerry and his phone conversations during last year's peace negotiations. over the weekend, an israeli soldier initially thought to be captured was confirmed killed. one of 64 troops and three civilians to die in the four weeks of war. so, mike, it's very difficult -- very difficult for the united states to just sit back and even for strong supporters of israeli to just say, here's your blank check. go off and do whatever you want to do. which is what basically they are asking us to do and the most extreme members of the pro israeli crowd are asking us to do that we can never ask a question and when you have what happened again with the attack, you have the continued images of young children being pulled out of rubble dead. i'm sorry. we have to ask that question.
>> you not only have to ask that question, but you also have to wonder about the extent of where we are going when you have the prime minister of israeli basically telling the united states, secretary of state as well as the president of the united states and congress of the united states, don't ever second-guess me again. >> leave us alone. >> yeah. >> i don't think it's that simple. bobby? >> it's not just us. other countries are doing the same thing. just before i came on, the chinese foreign minister is in cairo and he has gone even further than any american politician to say israeli must lift the blockade. when china speaks, countries these days take that seriously. >> let's find out what going up to the moment by bringing in nbc foreign correspondent richard engel who is live in gaza. richard, can you give us than up to the moment update right now? use good morning to all of you. right now, there is this partial truce in place. it seems that israeli agreed to this under pressure, after all
of the criticism, particularly the united states, israeli most powerful ally, this is a chance for palestinians, in large parts of the gaza strip, to go fishing, go to the market, check on their homes, a lot of their homes are destroyed. but it doesn't apply to all of the gaza strip in the southern region, particularly around rafa there is still an ongoing battle and israeli troops deep into territory and this truce is only supposed to last for another couple of hours. after that, there is questions about a diplomatic solution. will there be a way out of this diplomatically? there is an egyptian delegation in cairo working with them and they are waiting to see if israeli will send its own delegation. the palestinian demand, as bobby was just talking about, is to lift the siege of the gaza strip
and that would be something that both israeli and egypt would have to agree to and exchange or wants or guarantees that it won't see more rocket fire, that hamas won't arm, that it won't use supplies coming into the gaza strip to reinstruct those tunnels that israeli spent the last month destroying. >> let me ask you a question. i saw yesterday something on my twitter feed al jazeera editorial and just an absolutely blistering attack of israeli's neighbors for continuing to stand strongly, side-by-side with israeli. this is, of course, something that we just haven't seen since 1948 where you have literally all of hamas' neighbors from egypt, obviously, for good reason right now with egypt, but egypt, saudi arabia, united arab emirates and go around to jordan. all standing side-by-side with
israeli and all against hamas. what type of impact does that have on how much leeway israeli thinks they have right now? >> reporter: well, i think that is probably the biggest difference in this war than? the other two wars we have seen here in the last several years. a couple of years ago, hamas was in a very different position. the muslim brotherhood and hamas is an offshoot of the muslim brotherhood, was on the rise across the arab world. it was in power in egypt and things were looking very good for hamas. it had a lot of friends and it had a lot of support. the islamic movements have taken a beating and no longer popular with large in the arab world. groups like isis and syria have given the islamic movements a very bad name. the military ruler in charge of
egypt is even a bigger brotherhood than perhaps israeli is. i think that is one of the reasons israeli felt so confident that now was the time to go after these tunnels, to launch a long campaign, and we're seeing, right now, as you were suggesting, the western allies, united states, europe, even china, not a western ally, but a major power, that are coming out and criticizing israeli even before the arab states are coming out and criticizing. >> richard engel, thank you very much. david ignatius, how strange is it that the united states and america's european allies are now the ones being critical of these strikes that appear to be to the, you know, just say the observer on tv looking at one u.n. school after another being bombed, to be indiscriminate, while you actually have israeli's arab neighbors standing shoulder-to-shoulder with them even through the worse
of the attacks. why? >> well, hamas, which has been the dominant power in gaza among the palestinians, is, in fact, very unpopular in the arab world. and that is one reason that israeli felt that it wanted and needed free rein to go after hamas missile placements and other weapons in gaza. the u.s., when it moved toward a quick cease-fire, secretary of state kerry turned to hamas' only two friend in the region, turkey and qatar, to try to negotiate that. that is what infuriated israeli a week ago. and led kerry down a path that was just exposed into a lot of criticism. more recently, he has been doing something i think your viewers should think about. he is trying to figure out a way to help prime minister netanyahu find a way out of this conflict by empowering, not hamas, but
the moderate palestinians under president mahmoud abbas, by bringing the palestinian authority into gaza as the governing authority, which could be a very different situation, would offer the promise, over time, of some demilitarization of hamas and where is the action is now and where the peace conference is about now. keep your eye on that. >> bobby, what i have seen as the greatest strategy over the past several weeks and had some morons attacking me and i can call them that, morons attacking me online saying i'm not pro israeli, i've been pro israeli since a lot of these blowingers were getting their you know what wiped by their mothers wiped. just how isolated and on the run hamas was before all of this began where you did have all of the arabian states against them. you also had the palestinian authority against them. you had them running to the
palestinian authorities to make a deal of convenience just to stay alive as a political force and now this has happened. as david just said, other than turkey and qatar, they have no friends in the region and nobody they can talk to. also, as you pointed out, nobody else that can help strike a deal. >> that's the problem. in the past, when you had conflicts like this, it would rage for a few days and then egypt would go in, not just the muslim brotherhood. even before that when mubarak was running egypt he had leverage over hamas and go in there and knock heads together' bring peace even if it was temporary. no longer that way. sicily is very anti-hamas and all of israeli neighbors are anti-hamas. qatar and turkey are sort of speaking for hamas but they are new to this and not their traditional role.
they are distant and ideological nowhere close to hamas. it's clear, as we saw last week when the cease-fire broke down, hamas doesn't listen to turkey and to qatar. >> i have to jump in. we have sat here i think seven minutes speaking as hamas as a nation. they are a terrorist organization. our government has designated hamas as a terrorist organization. we spent eight minutes talking about what they do and israeli does as though they are two armies sponsored by a nation who should be treated equally. they are not. hamas is a terrorist organization so the tragic and heart breaking deaths of civilians is on the hands of hamas who embeds their weaponry in schools. hamas put the weapons in schools. when we sit here and talk about these actions we can't ignore hamas actions and hamas are not a nation! >> first of all, two points. hamas was actually elected by gaza to run gaza. >> they are a political party but they are a designated terrorist group.
>> i agree with you and you know i know they are a terrorist group and i have said unambiguously they are a terrorist group and said that israeli uses mills to protect people and hamas uses people their missiles. that said, if somebody is holding a gun to the head of a 5-year-old -- >> which nobody has done. >> no. hamas is doing it. >> right. >> right now. they are using little children as human shields. do um shoot through the 5-year-old to get hamas when there is not even a great chance it will get hamas. hamas is not going to be destroyed by what is going on -- who is being destroyed, 5-year-old and 6-year-old and 7-year-old children. >> of course. that is always -- >> of course, i know -- >> congress can't have this happen without -- >> let me ask you. would the united states of america be firing into places where day after day after day after day after day 5 and 6 and
7-year-old babies were being pulled out of rubble? would they? >> we don't but after 9/11 when we were attacked by a terrorist organization we went into afghanistan and targeted the terrorist group, the taliban. >> yes, we did. >> we know and on this show a lot of attention gets paid to inadvertent and tragic death of civilians. >> inadvertent and tragic, but when it's happening every day, it's not as inadvertent and tragic as it is when the united states has done it. >> the reason the arab nations are silent, they understand better than i think we do in this country, the tactics of ma' hamas. >> the biggest reason, the arab nations, i would think -- >> a shared enemy. >> -- is they are afraid they will end up in cairo. >> hamas is aligned with the people who took out kurdish towns in iraq. >> they don't share the same values but a lot of these arab states don't share our values either so let's be careful about
that. yes, it's clear hamas is a terrorist group. they have been for a long time. but every time there has been this conflict between israeli and hamas, it has only ended one way -- with peace negotiations. the question now is who is going to make those negotiations happen? john kerry has been trying for a couple of weeks, no success. qatar and turkey have been trying, no success. who is going to bring them to the table? >> nicole, my only point a month ago hamas was dying on the vine. they were isolated and dying on the vine. >> exactly. >> the israelis have played into their hands and every time a 5-year-old girl, 6-year-old girl, every time a grandmother is blown up in a public market, every time they blow up a u.n. school when the u.n. says 17 times this is a u.n. school. >> i agree with you. >> who does that help? who does that help? that terrorist group you're talking about, the terrorist group we all hate. that's my only point. let's go to al hunt. poor john kerry.
he gets kicked around, you know? even netanyahu now is saying leave us alone. i don't think that is going to happen any time soon, do you? >> no, i don't. i want to go back to david's point, because i think that is relevant here, which is that if this very, very difficult dicey situation could be improved by the palestinian authority taking over gaza, netanyahu has got to deliver something to the palestinian authority. in the past, he really hasn't been willing to do that and i'd love to get david's view on this. is he willing to give up something? because i don't think he can just say, why don't you good guys or better guys rather go and run gaza now. he has got to give them something on the west bank and go much further than he is wanting to do before. >> david, wasn't there an opportunity for him just to pay the salaries of civil servants that hamas could no longer pay, that could have averted a lot of this disaster and they fused to
even do that? >> joe, the question of how mahmoud abbas and palestinian authority would play more role in running gaza i think is the big issue that is now before prime minister netanyahu and kerry is trying to put it there. netanyahu has to decide after these weeks of war, the images that have been so disturbing to people, how does this thing end in a way that leaves israeli more secure that doesn't just mean you'll have to go back and fight another war two years from now? secretary kerry is saying if you can figure out a structure where the palestinian authority replaces hamas as the governing authority in gaza, you will leave israeli and the palestinians safer and more secure over the long run. and i think kerry is going to push netanyahu -- don't second-guess me and don't tell me what to do, but the truth is the u.s. can be helpful to israeli now in trying to figure out a way to move from this awful status quo into something new. >> how much do we give israeli
every year? >> 2.7, 2.5 billion. >> it's close to 3 billion dollars. >> what is your point? >> my point is -- i mean, it's an interesting idea. get the palestinian authority more or fatah more power in gaza. do we think hamas is going to roll over and let that happen now that they have essentially been -- i mean, empowered in some ways. do we think they will simply just let that happen? traditionally they have taken a very dim view. >> they have taken a dim view. they have just proved to be the most disastrous leaders. they have done for their own good what the muslim brotherhood did in egypt, where they did more damage to their own cause trying to run a country than we could have ever done. look at the numbers up on the screen. you know what? i voted for support for israeli every year. and i would continue to vote for support for israeli every year. but we pay $3.1 billion a year in foreign aid to israeli. we pay $504 million for the iron
dome. $121 billion since world war ii. and, of course we are their biggest supporter. i will tell you we need to be, with the anti-semitism sweeping across europe right now, which is absolutely revolting, even coming out of germany, of all countries. >> france. >> out of france. it is disgusting. it is revolting. the anti-semitism is sickening and we are going to talk about that later on. i'm glad the united states of america is there to be israeli's staunchest defender but, hey, we should be able to have a dialogue with a country we pay over $3 billion a year to every year. don't tell us not to give our opinion. that's something we like to do on "morning joe." coming up, other people who will be giving their opinion, mike murphy and campbell brown is going to be here. my twitter feed, which i rarely read, but this weekend, i was on

demographic dynamite. >> not good news. turning now to the middle east. the palestinian deputy prime minister says reconstruction of gaza is going to cost at least $6 billion. israeli's military operations there have displaced 500,000 as they force to eliminate weapons and stockpiles. the tunnel network used by hamas militants also trying to be destroyed. with us now is dr. gold a senior foreign policy adviser to prime minister benjamin netanyahu. doctor, thank you for being with us. let's begin what happened over the weekend. obviously, there was an attack on that u.n. facility that has got condemnation worldwide. the united nations and even the united states speaking out against these attacks. what is your response to those attacks? >> well, let's be very clear. israeli does not target u.n.
facilities and israeli does not target civilians. back in 2009, the united nations human rights council alleged that israeli was deliberating striking at civilians. a commission called the gold stone commission was put together. it reflected that view as well. finally, gold stone in "the washington post" in 2011 wrote israeli does not do that. it doesn't target civilians. we are seeing a loss of life. we have to figure out why that's occurring and we have to figure out where the blame lies. but it is not with the israeli defense forces. >> david? >> dr. gold, when the unity agreement between mahmoud abbas' fatah movement and hamas was announced last april, prime minister netanyahu denounced it. even though language submerged from that that would install the palestinian authority under abbas as the new governing
authority in gaza, and i'm wondering, you think prime minister netanyahu might change his position enough to allow that p.a. governing authority to have some clout? >> well, david, here is the dilemma and the hope. excuse me? >> go ahead. [ speaking in foreign language ] okay. >> did we lose him? >> communications difficulty with dr. gold in israeli? >> all right. thanks, t.j. we had a big international -- that was going make some news and he pressed the chopper 4 button. we really appreciate that. do we have him back yet? t.j.? way to go, t.j.

a great show. do we have the doctor back? >> i'm back. >> we thought there was either some malfeasance on the part of hamas or our director who is really not a really good director. so do you need david to ask you the question again, or can you answer it? >> david, give them the refresher on the question. >> it's about the reconciliation agreement? >> yes. dore, the simple question is moving forward now, would prime minister netanyahu be prepared to let the palestinian authority into gaza as the governing authority to empower it and its moderate members as a way of replacing hamas, even though that would mean accepting the hamas/fatah unity agreement? >> that's an excellent question. let me show you what the dilemma and opportunity is.
the dilemma is -- this has happened when abbas made his deal with hamas. we wanted to know whether that would lead to hamas becoming more moderate, willing to go along with diplomatic option and what, of course, happened is right afterwards, we had the attack on those three israeli teenagers who were killed by hamas and then the escalation of rocket fire. so it didn't seem that the agreement was moving hamas in a better direction. we have also seen, as i'm sure you're aware, iran has improved its relaegs with hamas. if you look at the recent communications between the two, it seems they are moving back in the direction of hamas. so the question is can the palestinian authority play a more positive role? one of the things that everybody is looking at is the whole area of the rafah crossing.
the egyptians will not open it up for trade if hamas is controlling the crossing. they are hoping that, of course, the palestinian authority will come in. >> mike barnicle? >> dr. gold, over the weekend, prime minister netanyahu was quoted as saying about the united states, don't ever second-guess me again. was that quote accurate and, if so, what does he mean? what is he referring to? >> you know, i saw that quote and it's a popular sport today in journalism to speculate about private phone calls and private conversations about the u.s. and israeli. i cannot verify that quote. it doesn't seem to make sense to me. >> all right. thank you so much, doctor. we greatly appreciate it. sorry for the transmission problems. hope to get you back soon. coming up next, rory mcilroy is back at it again with the world's top golf ranking at stake. we will show you how things

♪ op-eds. princeton university law professor writes on al jazeera. while israeli talks about rockets and tunnels, its massive military operation is being increasing interpreted as punitive and directed not only at hamas but at palestinians generally. second punitive motivation and more explicitly endorsed is a punishment directed to palestinians in general. for daring to form a unity government back in early june and crushing hamas is seen as a way to make palestinians submit to the permanence of occupation. the abysmal failure of the kerry induced talks shows that israeli has lost all interest to promise the palestinians a sovereign state at the end of the road. bobby ghosh, you're shaking your
head. >> yeah. listen. the so-called unity government was really never going to unite it very long. hamas was weakened, greatly weakened but the differences between hamas and fatah is so great and the animosity between them is so great. not that long ago, hamas was off the roof of buildings and hamas to fall and die on the street below. so, i mean, this unity government, you know, i wouldn't trust it as far as i could thit >> it was hamas that came crawling to the palestinian authority. >> they needed some cover. >> they were so unpopular. 80% of the people in gaza were against them. >> yes. >> david ignatius, they were failing and they were collapsing. >> they were failing. i would just note for your viewers that dori gold said something very interesting from israeli from the interview that
was interrupted. remember when you talked about control of the rafah crossing, which is the crossing from egypt into gaza, and that controlled, he implied being given over to the palestinian authority and mahmoud abbas people, as opposed to hamas. it's my understanding that is precisely the proposal that secretary kerry is working hardest on now and it would be a significant change because it would give the kind of financial leverage in that key passage to the p.a., not to hamas, so keep your eyes on that. bobby, i know the reasons to be suspicious of this, but if this piece of it came through, it would actually move the ball a little bit. >> it's true. >> david, the polls in israeli show 86% support for prime minister netanyahu, basically, saying go get hamas, kill them, we don't care what happens. what kind of a factor is that in delaying, delaying, delaying any sort of accord here? >> netanyahu has to decide how is this going to end? he is quite popular now.

>> there you go. >> not getting much better. welcome back to "morning joe." mike barnicle and nicole wallace still with us and al hunt. with us at the table while the republicans should move quickly for impeachment proceedings against president obama, columnist for "time" magazine, mike murphy. also in washington nbc news white house chief correspondent and host of "the daily rundown," chuck todd. mike murphy, why can't they just say no way? when the question of impeachment is brought up. >> it's a little bit like the kid and the light socket. >> can we waterboard them? is it okay? >> it's not torture. >> it's not. they will be the first to say it's not torture. >> now that nobody has a swing district any more, the whole game is the primary. >> right. >> everywhere. so that is the frequency everybody is tuned into. >> impeachment, impeachment, impeachment. >> it feels like winning.
that is the problem. they get together and there is free coffee, you know? the problem is strategically if we are ever going to get outside the minority in a presidential race, we have to change some stuff and the incentives kid in a light socket, don't put your finger in the light socket. zap. >> there it is. whoever runs for president down the road, damaged by it. mike, what do we have? >> we have the big immigration hot button, putting your finger in a socket. president obama will take several more weeks before taking executive actions. house republicans to limit the president's power to delay deportation. the bill doesn't have much support in the action. the lack of action has some republicans floating impeachment, a welcome topic for democrats, welcome to drive the president's supporters to the polls. >> i think congress has to sit down and have a serious look at the rest of this constitution and that includes that "i" word
we don't want to say and i say that only on this program because i want to encourage the president, please don't put america into a constitutional crisis. >> you don't really think impeachment is possible? >> when the house takes an unprecedented step to sue the president of the united states for -- and even though he is issuing executive orders more than a hundred years, i think it's foolish to discount the possibility. >> brand-new nbc polls say americans are not happy with congress' job performance. wow that is news. 74% say congress has not been able to get anything done and 1 in 5 say congress is somewhat productive. we want to know who the 1 is. a fraction think they are productive. a clear divide which americans would like to see in control after the midterms. by a slim margin registered voters would like to see republicans regain control of the senate from democrats and stay in power in the house. >> mike murphy, it's a race to the bottom.
the president has low approval ratings. you look in those states where he has low approval ratings in the red states and republicans have even lower approval ratings. >> it's 1916. when do we run out of bullets and grind the thing down in a sea of blood? it's horrible. it is the nature of our politics because everything is based politics. the problem for the party -- i think far more likely to win the senate but what happens if we do and get the big microphone set up for the 16 where everything is at stake including the senate again. >> i ask you as a republican consultant, what are the republicans and the house stand for? what have they done other than investigate and say no? what have they done? that what is their pro active piece of legislation to get america back to work? >> oo they would say they pass good budget stuff but if you would -- fundamentally, here is what we are against. >> it's resentment. >> yeah. that is the question of 16.
do we run the resentment campaign or how do we fix america? >> if we run the resentment campaign in 2016, we lose 6 out of 7. >> which would beat the washington generals because their losing streak was 24. we tie them. >> we, right now, on the national scale, chuck todd, the republicans are kind like the washington generals and reminds me of clancy, the clown, how could you bet against the harlem globetrotters? i thought the generals were due. the republicans are due but they are not going to get anything done as long as this continues. i mean, talking about impeachment? i mean, nobody is seriously talking about impeachment in the republican party, but these yahoos go on sunday shows and they get attention. >> by the way, so the white house is in cahoots with roger and chris wallace to get steve king on fox.
you couldn't have played into the white house's hands more. i think the white house would love if everybody booked steve king 24 hours a day, because he is one of those guys, but it's in a fringe part of the house republican conference that is talking about it. but there he is going out there bringing it up and making dan pfeiffer say, see, i told you. and then be able to say, hey, john boehner, he can't control his own conference, so he may be taking it off the table, but, you know, his own members won't take it off the table. so we do, you know, you may think we are just being chicken little about this but, hey, see, there is that guy two weeks in a row now, fox has put somebody on that won't take it off the table, but it does feel like a total base feeding frenzy here. you know, again, it's something i said on friday. as mike said, democrats have handed the senate potentially to the republicans on a silver platter. steve king and those guys are just knocking it over.
>> al hunt, you and i collectively have been covering politics since the cleveland administration. >> i was there in harrison, mike. >> yeah. can you recall, remember, think about a more dysfunctional political time in the last 30, 40, or 50 years than what we have right now, what we are enduring right now as the american public? >> no, i can't, mike. a simple answer. and i agree with what mike murphy said. i think this should be a republican year. they may be able to somehow just snatch it away. i'll go a step further than chuck todd. if i were the dnc or dnscc, i would pay for steve king to go all over america. i would put him in every single district. >> get him a plane, right? >> and denigrate him is just the fringe. he is the guy, along with ted cruz, who forced boehner to change on immigration. he's a guy that really resulted
in the house making a fool of itself. he's not an insignificant figure in that caucus. >> what do republicans do, nicole? we got chloroform, right? >> i think -- >> we have a back room meeting, steve, we want you to attend. >> i think you hope that maybe we don't go over the finish line. we don't take the senate, so that we can spend a couple of more years gathering ourselves around someone who hasn't had to make all of these compromises. i think you hope for a governor to carry dr. >> you're saying for us to win, we have to lose? >> i'm not able to trot out in these fancy campaigns like mike murphy is. >> i would go out and throw the senate. in '16, it's bad for us. we have a lot to defend in a bad year in '16. give us the big microphone. if we continue this stuff and
the country takes a look at this and say who are these people and take it down again. >> the question for anybody around the table is this. what do the republicans in washington, d.c. stand for? >> exactly. >> name the big thing they stand for, other than investigating the irs, which they should do, investigating the nsa, which they should do, investigating benghazi, do all of the investigations, that's fine, but you got to have two tracks! you got to have the people investigating but then you need legislation that will get america back to work! what is it? >> good day, they are not bad on fiscal stuff but they only have about two good days a week. >> because of paul ryan. >> al hunt? >> i think there are a number of republican ideas floating out there. paul ryan and marco rubio and rand paul but it gets overshadowed by the steve king's and all of that fringe element.
and look at the primaries this year. in mississippi and in georgia and in virginia, it was that immigration bashing that really, really took hold and helped some of those insurgent candidates and i think that may be good short-term politics for them but it's lousy long-term politics. >> what was your reaction, joe, when you saw the story over the weekend about senator ted cruz having 20 to 30 house republicans over to the senate side to his office to talk about immigration and basically to goat them or urge them to obstruct any further immigration legislation? >> i think that is ted cruz's right. i think the guys that have the voting cards or the women who have the voting cards have ultimate responsibility to do what they need to do. they don't need to hide behind ted cruz. you know, if they are not man enough or woman enough to go over and vote their conscience
and do what they think is best for themselves and best for their party and best for their country, then they are too weak to be in congress. everybody is trying to blame ted cruz right now. he's not the public master. they are looking for an excuse to be cowards and to go back to their district and not do anything. say, oh, we are standing up to barack obama and we're going to impeach him or we are investigating the irs and we are investigating benghazi. benefit ghazi, benghazi, benghazi. like you said they are not in swing districts and nobody saying my family has been out of work for eight month. my husband has a college degree and i have two kids that need to get into college. we don't have the money to do that. in fact, we have to put our house up for for sale. there is nobody has that to go there and talk about what middle class americans are suffering through right now. i will guarantee you that somebody whose father was out of
work for two years in the early 1970s, these people don't give a damn about benghazi right now. they care about getting back to work and getting food on their table, and getting their kids into college and hoping that their children will have a better life than they. >> what drives me crazy is the constant hammering of the face courage. how courageous is it to go home and tell only in your party base exactly what they want to hear? if i hear ted cruz talk about how courageous he is in washington. i don't blame him for going and playing politics in washington. that is part of equation and he is running for president. pretty simple. he will try to own these issues and now he might have to try to get through rick perry which will be tremendously fun to watch and off he goes. as far as getting anything done, we are not getting anything done. >> mike, such a great point. i was thinking about this weekend. all of these guys stand up and talk about the great courage they are showing. they are not showing korcourage. they are playing to 90% of what their people want them to do.
>> they are going home and basically saying, look, here is the plan. we are not going to govern. >> they are cowards. courage would be actually -- would actually be taking a chance on something that is not popular. >> a year ago i was always calling on ted cruz to resign in texas and move to michigan where we had an open seat in the swing state and run there and show how it's done. take his message to a swing state, put it all on the line. and never got a reply on that. >> let's talk about another state. congress kicks off its five-week vacation, folks. five weeks they are taking off. all eyes on the political world this weekend turned to the crucial senate race in kentucky. republican senator mitch mcconnell and democrat allison lundergan grimes met at the political fair in a rural town of fancy farm. candidates shared the stage in front of a record crowd and supporters from both sides looking on, red shirts for mcconnell and blue for grimes,
the 35-year-old democrat made her case against the 30-year veteran. >> what a huge crowd for senator mcconnell's retirement party! if mitch mcconnell were a tv show, he would be "mad men," treating women unfairly, stuck in 1968, and ending this season! when it comes to our students being able to afford college, mitchell mcconnell, well, he doesn't care! when it comes to being a woman and being treated qael equally here in the commonwealth of kentucky, well, mitchell mcconnell doesn't care! senator, you seem to think that the president is on the ballot this year. he's not. this race is between me and you and the people of kentucky while we attend to hold you accountable for your 30 years of failed leadership. >> was that the real mitchell mcconnell they are showing
there? >> it's time for the steel cage. i'm telling you. >> i would love to go to that event! >> he is going to beat her. i'll bet money. >> he was next. mcconnell was next on the stage and his speech linking grimes to one of the most unpopular figures in the democratic party. >> by any standard, barack obama has been a disaster for our country! that's what you get for electing someone with no experience. he was only -- he was only two years into his first job when he started campaigning for the next one. sound familiar? there was so much turmoil around the world, we can't afford a leader who thinks the west bank is a hollywood fund-raiser. there is only one way to begin to go in a different direction. that is to change the senate and make me the leader of a new majority to take america a different direction! >> senator mcconnell got a ten
in the mellow meter. that is so incredibly lame. kentucky senator rand paul was also at the event. earlier in the day -- >> hold on. before you hand out ten's on the lameo meter, okay? it's all -- you know, you got to see what rand paul said first. i think you'll bump mitch down to a 9 or an 8. >> really? >> because rand may have nailed that. >> i thought her -- mad men, get it? >> that was a good one. >> no, i don't think so. >> that's what i mean on the lameo meter. >> but for lameo meters. >> rank them. we have time, right? >> here is rand paul. >> let's hear rand paul. >> there once was a woman from kentucky who thought in politics she would be lucky, so they flew to l.a. for a hollywood bash. she came home in a flash with bucket of cash.
to liberals, she whispers coal makes you sick. in kentucky, she claims coal makes us tick. one thing that we know is true, one thing we know is guaranteed, she would cast her first vote for harry reid! >> ladies and gentlemen, i think we have a winner. ew. it's rand paul. >> what do you think? >> i want to hear from -- >> i was waiting for green eggs and ham is probably the big closer. yeah. there's a thing in hollywood as a hollywood conservative that conservatives use is "five more minutes. give it five more minutes. try a little harder." i wish i was there, though. >> that is quite a race going on down there, chuck todd. >> they might have as well as just done your mamma jokes. it might have been funnier and
they could have gone back and forth. you read these speeches as they prepared them. you wince just reading them and then listening to them, you're like, they are really delivering this on camera? really? they are going to be quoted saying these things? but, look. this is the -- you know, all of the other races, there's a bang shot here and constituency group there and a wedge issue here. not in this one, man. this one is so clear, it's sort of you know exactly -- we can explain exactly how each candidate wins if they win. if grimes win, that mcconnell experience business was too much. 30 years is too much, he can't do it. if he wins, coal was just too much for her to take. there wasn't enough democratic votes for her. there is no easier race in the country to handicap and we know exactly what -- by the way, the thing hasn't moved. this thing has been a one or two point race for six months and be that until election race. a great race. >> you think mcconnell is going
to win? >> yeah. i don't bet against mitch in fights in kentucky. election day it will come down to one thing. do they want to punish obama or mitch? they got to pick one and i think they are going to punish obama. >> all right. all right. . thank you so much, chuck todd. we will watch you at 9:00 eastern on "the daily rundown." al hunt, thank you for being with us. we greatly appreciate it. >> those lines make you miss the late, great -- >> genuinely funny is rare but it works. otherwise it's the lead and written stuff. ahead on "morning joe," second ebola patient set to return to the u.s. this week, we take a look at what the deadly virus could do if there is an outbreak in our country. how richard nixon was able to create the so-called new majority. douglas brinkley and pat buchanan with his new book on nixon, joins us at 8:00. a big name joins the fight

he is doing well, he is in good spirits here. they learned yesterday that he received some kind of experimental medicine back in liberia before he came here and that could be helpful. they are saying that he is getting the best quality care here but, in the meantime, people are a little nervous about his arrival. content brantley shocked a lot of people when he walked into the hospital with just a little support from a paramedic. >> ebola -- >> on "meet the press" the head of the krs for decease control defended the decision to bring him stateside for treatment. >> he is an american citizen and what our role in public health is make sure if an american is coming home with an infectious disease, we protect others so they don't spread it. >> they are very professional and know what they are doing but one mistake it's and all over. >> reporter: a sentiment popped up all over social media this weekend am i the only person who thinks it was a horrible idea? i've seen this movie. you were in the car behind the
ambulance? dr. alex isikoff was in that suv behind the ambulance. he says there is no risk to the public. >> if i had ebola and i was touching your hand, maybe you would be at risk for contracting it. if i coughed and sneezed in your face, you would be at risk for contracting it, but that's how it's transmitting. >> not from standing a room away from someone? >> absolutely. not from being in an ajissent room and not from casual communication. >> reporter: brantly's family has been talking to him through a partition. where the brantly's first met, a friend road their words. we are amazed and humble by the worldwide response in prayer by this crisis. we cannot share any news of kent's condition but please know we believe kent will be healed and that healing will come from the hand of god. the other american missionary who has ebola nancy writebol, is expected here possibly by tomorrow for treatment.
while peace corps volunteers are being evacuated out of west africa, interesting to note many african leaders have landed in washington and here for a summit with president obama. >> thank you, kate. appreciate it. with more on the ebola crisis, let's bring in dr. toby cosgrove. the president and ceo of the cleveland clinic. mike barnicle wants to know if he is going to get the ebola virus and be quarantined for six months. the question is we're reading a lot of story, a lot of hyperventilating and a lot of concerns about this coming to the united states. isn't it easier to catch the flu than the ebola virus? >> absolutely. everybody is concerned about the ebola virus particularly because it's very lethal but it's not highly contagious. the influenza virus is much more
contagious than ebola so i think we are at very little risk. you have to understand now that we are now in a global world and transportation has made a disease that happens in one part of the world part of the world's problems. we have seen that with sars and multiple other diseases. >> right. >> i think it's important that we are prepared through the cdc and other organizations in the united states to look after these sort of situations. >> so what do we do if we fly back from a country, people flying back from a country, a lot of people watch this show that travel internationally and have business on every continent. what do we do? wear 12 masks or something or not worry about that? what do we do? >> i don't think you have to worry on airplanes. what we are seeing people coming from south africa being scanned for temperatures when they come into the united states by the cdc. if that is the case they get quarantin
quarantined. the period of incubation for ebola is somewhere between six and 21 days. some people are coming back already and taking their temperature on a regular basis and if, in fact, they have a problem, they are going to be notified. going to notify authorities. so i think we have done a great job of the cdc in beginning to isolate this particular disease and quarantine really is the major therapy for this sort of an epidemic. in fact, there have been ten of these epidemics in africa since 1976, they have been quarantined in relatively rural areas and burned themselves out over time. the problem now that it's in the cities where there is little ability to qaruarantine an enti city. >> i know the peace corps is being arrived in evacuating peace corps workers around the world. i have a family member who lives
and works abroad. what do you do if you have family members or friends living and working abroad and you're not sure that they have access to the kind of health care that we have here? people like you, people that understand and now how these diseases spread. what are their best resources for working abroad? >> i think the main issue is right now in west africa and the three countries you talked about previously. it does not seem to be located outside of that particular area. unless you are in one of those three countries, i don't think you have a concern. >> mike barnicle? >> toby, are you at all concerned about the potential for hysteria and misinformation on social media? in kate snow's piece about people tweeting about these things with very little knowledge about what is going on and where it's going on. >> i think it is a concern, mike. we need to get the true information out about the issue. look at how well-prepared the cdc is, and understand about how this disease spreads, and make
people understand that the risk of this particular disease is very low, particularly the way it's being handled currently in the united states. >> toby, let me ask you a quick question about a "the new york times" article i saw yesterday in the magazine. some children are cured from autism. autism affects our family. got a child that has got asperberger's but i've noticed him improving over the years and i've been shocked by a lot of the improvements. i'm sure you read the article and i'm sure you know about the research. what is behind that, about some children actually being moved out almost off the autism spectrum? >> well, we have a school at the cleveland clinic of about a hundred students and we have been using this behavioral therapy now for 15 years. we see about 5% of the children who completely have their autism
symptomatology go away. about 25% of the students are able to be mainstreamed starting early on, say, at about age 2 by the time they get to kindergarten or first grade they are able to be mainstreamed into the schools with little or very little support. so, you know, there is -- this is now an accepted form of therapy. >> so what is the common denominator for the kids that beat autism? is it that you guys work extraordinarily hard and others work to mainstream them to impact their behavior to try to get them as much as in their own world and in social settings? how do you do it? >> a couple of things. the diagnosis needs to be made early and need to get to people early. secondly there appears to be a correlation between i.q. and your ability to recover and higher i.q.s do better at recovering than do other
children. it's very intensify therapy and 35 hours one-on-one a week with a child. it's very expensive. but it is the best hope that we have currently. >> all right. very good. thank you so much. we greatly appreciate it, dr. cosgrove and hope to see you again soon. >> my pleasure. coming up, campbell brown's fight against a teacher tenure gets a major boost. she is here to explain when "morning joe" returns. we will ask err about those nasty tweets too.

west coast update. states are being hit hard by drought and fires this summer. now california has joined washington and oregon in declaring a state of emergency in hopes of bringing more resources and money to help battle the blazes. one of several california fires destroyed eight homes this weekend and caused one local hospital to evacuate. >> that is unbelievable. the drought out there, mike murphy, is just deplorable. we on the east coast have no idea how bad it is out west. >> the resource in california is only water and it's only going to get bigger and bigger and this is a super drought so we will have these fires. norm jerry brown would declare a state of grooves so it's a serious time in california. another leadened joke.

surrender to the power of accomodation grooveland ♪ booking.com booking.yeah! ♪ if you look at the outcome, student outcomes in new york, okay? so 91% of teachers around the state of new york are rated either effective or highly effective and, yet, 31%, 31% of our kids are reading, writing, and doing math at grade level. how does that compute? how can you argue the status quo is okay with numbers like that. >> i went to school in south carolina and 31% sounds like a
majority to me. why are we blaming the teachers? maybe it's the dumb kid. ever thought about that? kids are rated effective, maybe cut the kids lose and put them back in the bobbin factories. isn't it about that? >> with us the founder of the partnership for educational justice, campbell brown. last week she appeared on the steps of new york's city hall to voice her support for a lawsuit that seeks to overturn new york state's archaic and teacher and tenure laws. mike barnicle, look. this is big. >> we need him at some point. >> i already do and talk to you afterwards. star trial lawyer david boies who will be the new chairman of the partnership for educational justice. "the new york times" reports about david in lining himself with a cause bitterly opposed to by teachers union he is emblem mattic between the democrats and teachers union. he viewed the cause of tenure
overhaul as, quote, pro-teacher. randy wine gartgardner told me will be on the show or at some point. her low point was turning on the show and seeing a bunch of liberals around me and all of them attacking what she is doing at the teachers unions. this is no longer a republican/democrat/conservative /liberal issue. a lot of democrats are concerned about what is going on. why did you decide to get involved in this hot button issue? >> i think education may be the most important issue we have in this country. i think it's a basic civil right. we started desegregating our schools based on race and now segregating our schools based on economics. we don't have effect education in this country and we need it. >> don't you consider this to be, like, one of the civil
rights issues? making sure that an african-american kid or in the bronx or harlem has a shot at education as saying my kid or kids in scarsdale, new york. >> absolutely. if they don't get an education, they are lost to this country and they are lost to their families. and if we are not able to fix our educational system, we can't compete globally. >> david, you say this as the son of two public school teachers and as a lifelong liberal. i got to tell you, it is hard talking -- it's hard to find liberals who aren't directly involved in, let's say, teachers union or have some stake in it that aren't exactly where you are, which is we have got to do what we have to do to help the truly disadvantage get a break. >> i think that's exactly right, because liberals have always
wanted equal opportunity. and the thing that prevents equal opportunity today, more than anything else, is access to education. we need education. look at the technology the people have to master. you can't do that if you don't have effective teachers. teachers are the most important, in my view, most important profession we have in this country. if you don't have good teachers, you don't have good doctors, you don't have good business people. you don't have any society unless you can educate your youth. and it's totally unfair the people don't get in quality education. >> mike, as campbell said before, i mean, there are a lot of great, great public school teachers out there. there are some that aren't great and they shouldn't be protected. the children should be protected. >> well, i think that is part of the confusion about this issue. like you, david, i mean, my mother was a school teacher. she taught for 35 years. yet there seems to be, within this issue, this cloud of misinformation that this is aimed at teachers. it's not really aimed at teachers. it's aimed at reforming a system
that has been set in place for -- you tell me what it's about. >> i think it's about us beginning to treat teachers like professionals. >> right. >> and to me that means also paying teachers more. here in new york, a starting teacher salary is barely above $3,000 a year which is hard to even live on $30,000 a year. we by no mean tackling these laws is a silver bullet and solve all of the problems. but it is acknowledging that teachers aren't interchangeable and that they are individuals and they should be evaluated and rewarded for performance as any individual would in any other profession. >> you get municipality cutbacks with shrinking budgets and what happens in school departments is the best teachers are often, quite often, some of the younger teachers and they go first. >> that's right. you look at program like teach for america. every summer, we have the teach for america volunteers up at our house to a picnic and they are
just great. they are enthusiastic. and, yet, some people want to keep teach for america out of new york city schools. it doesn't make any sense if what you're primarily concerned about -- >> why do they want to keep them out? >> because they view them at competition for people who are already teaching there. i think they -- listen. maybe they are disruptive in the sense they have new ideas and enthusiasm. that is what teaching is about! >> exactly! >> my parents were teachers. i grew up with teachers. i mean, teachers are the best people in the world. they love kids. and they are out there, the best teachers, and i think most -- most teachers feel this way. it's -- this is not anti-teacher. this is pro-education and pro-child and ultimately it's pro-teacher because that is the way you make them professionals. >> randy says tenured laws and other laws are against cronyism and patriotism and hiring based
on what who you know and not what you know. >> we haven't been doing that in our educational system for years. not the way to get a job in new york city. people get jobs based on merit. we need to keep that merit system going while they progress. >> what is next? >> we brought this case in new york inspired by one in california where the judge ruled in their favor. around the country and you're going to see additional lawsuits being brought in other states too because parents are seeing this as an opportunity to express themselves, to voice their frustration with the system they think is failing them, and with legislatures that haven't moved to address these problems for years. it's a way of them saying we're fed up and if you're not going
to deal with the problem, we're going off the courts. >> you don't want to read twitter these days. >> haters gonna hate, right? >> but outside of twitter, this is an idea whose time has come. i think randi weingar ten will be on. pat pbuchanan is standing b talking about his book on richard nixon on, my gosh, what is this, the 40th anniversary of nixon's resignation? >> yeah. >> 40th anniversary day, and our friend, pat, is here to talk about his new book on richard nixon. you're watching "morning joe." we'll be right back. in new york state, we're changing the way we do business, with startup ny.

carnage at yet another u.n. school housing refugees in gaza. >> this is the third time israel has bombed the u.n.-run school. >> the u.s. state department said it was appalled by today's disgraceful shelling outside the school. >> there can be no question of mistaken identity. >> absolutely none. there was encouraging news today about the condition of an american doctor infected with ebola. >> i can't think of a better place in the world other than emory university hospital to
care for this patient. >> the specially equipped plane has just departed from georgia. >> i'm confident that our fears are not going to overwhelm our compassion. >> congress has left the building, leaving the president promising to go solo on the humanitarian crisis on the border. >> so that's not a disagreement between me and the house republicans, that's a disagreement between the house republicans and the house republicans. >> what are you going to do about it? >> i think the congress has to have a serious look at the constitution. >> you don't really think impeachment is possible? >> i i think it would be foolish to discount the possibility. >> mitch mcconnell and his competitor threw down. >> we can't afford a leader who thinks the west bank is a hollywood fund-raiser. >> if mitch mcconnell were a tv show, he'd be "mad men," he's stuck in 1968 and ending this season. my goodness, that just makes me tired. i don't know about you, barnicle, but i'm tired. seriously? can they not hire professional
joke writers, right? >> you still have to tell them. >> that's a good use for super pacs, right? let's say super pac money should go to pay for hollywood speech writers and make all of our lives better. welcome back to "morning joe." mike barnicle is with us. also nicolle wallace still here. with us on set "new york times" reporter tripp gabriel. he was paid extra to go listen to those jokes in kentucky. we're going to talk kentucky politics with tripp in just a minute but first let's go to israel with a seven-hour truce is under way in the gaza strip right now. if israel pulls back on its ground operations while leaving the door open to future strikes against hamas. on sunday an israeli missile killed ten people at a u.n. school where thousands of civilians were taking cover from the fighting. the attack, which was apparently aimed at a passing motorcycle, left dozens of palestinians injured. it also sparked intense
criticism from the international community, including from our united states state department that said the u.s. is, quote, appalled by the disgraceful shelling. the u.n. went even further calling the israeli action, quote, a moral outrage and a criminal act. israel's continued air campaign followed last week's broken cease-fire. after that collapsed benjamin netanyahu told senior american officials, quote, not to ever second-guess me again. perhaps the united states may never again want to give him $3 billion a year. meanwhile germany's leading newspaper says israeli intelligence news agencies eaves dropped on secretary of state john kerry's phone conversations during last year's peace negotiations and then used that information against him in those peace negotiations. let's bring in right now from charleston, south carolina, op-ed columnist, roger cohen.
roger, i read your op-ed this weekend and just absolutely loved it. i want to read a little bit of it for our viewers and then get you to respond. by the way, i just want to say for the record it is not fair that you get to be in charleston, south carolina, and the rest of us have to be here. so this is why americans see israel the way they do. to cross the atlantic to america as i did recently from london is a move from one moral universe to its opposite in relation to israel's war with hamas and gaza. fury over palestinian civilian casualties has risen to a fevered pitch in europe and the u.s., by contrast, support for israel remains strong. the israel saga, of courage and will,icies in american mythology far beyond religious identification and it goes on and on and on. you set up, though, roger, this parallel universe that i noticed in 2006 when i went from the u.s. to london and just watched bbc reporting and was stunned.
it was like i had been transported into another world. you talk about how anti-semitism is sweeping across europe at an alarming rate. at the same time in america, we unquestionably support israel where even images of dead children or women in these mortar attacks would be seen as almost unpatriotic. talk about that divide. >> well, good morning, joe. i think it's an unhelpful divide in many ways because it prevents either side, whether the united states or europe, from seeing the whole picture. in the u.s. palestinian suffering remains a taboo subject in congress, can't talk about it. in a quasipacifist europe where the slaughter of jews took place, it's impossible to see israel responding to rocket attack from an organization that
is bent on its destruction. what state, after all, would not respond in such circumstances. and i think it's important to see the grievous errors mad by both sides rather than just seeing one side of the picture. in the u.s., it's support for israel. and in europe, it's sympathy, understandable sympathy, for the huge number of palestinian victims and growing anger at what is seen as indiscriminate israeli attacks on this small area called gaza. >> growing anger in europe. you talked about anti-semitism in europe. you also mentioned germany specifically, a country who's been israel's closest ally other than the u.s., certainly since the horrors of the holocaust. but you say there even cracks in that facade now. explain. >> well, i lived in germany, joe, as correspondent for "the new york times" about a dozen years ago. at that time what's been happening now would have been
unthinkable. germans felt they had to show allegiance to israel because nazis had slaughtered jews. now with the passing of time this time around, you've seen violence, including an attempt to set a synagogue in one german town on fire. awful slogans, anti-semitic slogans being chanted at demonstrations. a very ugly atmosphere. and i think germans with the passing of time -- look, this is the work of a rabid fringe. it doesn't represent the mainstream in any way. but still, for this to happen in germany is very troubling. you're seeing similar incidents in france and elsewhere to the point that you have the foreign ministers of france, germany and italy making a statement saying anti-semitism has no place in our societies. the distinction between anti-zionism and anti-semitism
has in my view always been a much more flimsy one than those claiming that just anti-zionists say. nevertheless, the way this has spilled over in parts of europe into open anti-semitism is very troubling. >> roger, i was with senator george mitchell on saturday. during the day on saturday, he did a half dozen interviews. he was telling me four of them were from overseas outlets, the bbc, other european outlets, two of them were here in the united states. he was saying that it was like a parallel universe, the questions that he was getting from european outlets as opposed to the questions that he was getting from united states outfits. so my question to you has to do with the coverage. we see the coverage here obviously in the united states. how different is the coverage of what is going on in gaza within europe as opposed to here? >> i think it's different in
significant degrees. of course the bbc just like "the new york times" would say that it's trying to be balanced and objective. everybody in this conflict, as you know, has extremely strongly held views, so they perceive bias, even if that bias doesn't necessarily exist. but all media organizations in europe are working against a backdrop of extreme anger at this point at israeli bombardment of gaza. that is the backdrop in which they're working, the atmosphere. similarly in the united states, you're working in an atmosphere where jon stewart, just because he reports on palestinian suffering, is said to reveal this to americans. any criticism of israel is seized upon and said to be some kind of betrayal of a very important american ally.
so that's the cultural environment, if you like, in which this is happening. i think it makes the reporting on both sides of the atlantic -- either side of the atlantic different. >> okay, roger, thank you so much. we greatly appreciate it and we hope you don't have to move to an island somewhere between the united states and europe as you wrote about in your piece to be able to find a more balanced nuanced view of this extraordinarily important issue. roger, thanks for being with us. >> thank you very much. >> we hope to get back sometime soon. it is interesting, roger was also talking about how, you know, if you even show images of palestinian suffering, of palestinian children in the united states, that's almost considered taboo. >> well, i don't think that the media has been intimidated by any of that. i see those images every night. i think that the media actually deserves some credit for not only showing a pretty rounded picture. i feel like i've seen lots of those horrific images, but also of listening to -- i think there
was someone at cnn that was accused of being impartial and in this rapid media climate people get right on the air and address the criticism. i think journalalists have been confrontational trying to address that. mike, let's move to kentucky. >> another conflict in kentucky. has congress kicks off its five-week vacation. >> boy, that must be nice. >> all eyes in the political world turned to the crucial race in kentucky. mitch mcconnell and allison lundgren grimes met in the rural town of fancy farm. the candidates shared the stage in front of a record crowd with supporters from both sides looking on. red shirts for mcconnell, blue for grimes. the 35-year-old democrat made her case against the 30-year veteran. >> what a huge crowd for senator mcconnell's retirement party. if mitch mcconnell were a tv show, he'd be "mad men,"
treating women unfairly, stuck in 1968 and ending this season. and when it comes to our students being able to afford college, mitch mcconnell, well, he doesn't care. when it comes to being a woman and being treated equally here in the commonwealth of kentucky, well, mitch mcconnell doesn't care. senator, you seem to think that the president is on the ballot this year. he's not. this race is between me and you and the people of kentucky. we intend to hold you accountable for your 30 years of failed leadership. >> by any standard barack obama has been a disaster for our country. that's what you get for electing someone with no experience. he was only -- he was only two years into his first job when he started campaigning for the next
one. sound familiar? with so much turmoil around the world, we can't afford a leader who thinks the west bank is a hollywood fund-raiser. there's only one way to begin to go in a different direction. that's to change the senate and make be the leader of the new majority to take america in a different direction. >> all right, tripp, we've already talked about if this was a comedy special, it would have been cancelled five minutes in. but it seemed like a pretty raucous crowd there. they were getting into it. give us a color, like were there wild borars running around chewing at your ankles? it seemed crazy. >> fancy farm is one of the unique events in american politics. it's one of the great datelines in american politics in far west kentucky. but it's very rare to go to a political rally where you have both democrats and republicans on the stage at the same time and a mixed audience of supporters of both. so while a candidate is
speaking, half the crowd is cheering and half the crowd is shouting and trying to heckle and distract and cause them to lose their cool. >> so what did you pick up down there, just confidence in the mcconnell crowd, the grimes crowd, what do you pick up? >> both sides are very confident. it's a close race, statistically a tie in all the polls that have shown up. closer than it ought to be. mitch mcconnell is running for a sixth term. he won easily the last two times. this race is close. >> why is it so close, especially with her -- the mcconnell people say her anti-coal position, barack obama's unpopularity in the state. does this seek to mcconnell's built-in weaknesses in kentucky? >> it does. she had a joke that her approval ratings were about her age, which is 35. he's got a lot of power in washington, minority leader. he's never been hugely popular
in question. >> look at that, by the way, 36% are favorable. 43% unfavorable. i'm not really good at politics, i don't know much, but if you've been around for that much and your favorable ratings are 36%. that's pretty crazy. >> you know, we watched those two clips that we just saw. it's, as you said, great dateline, fancy farm, kentucky. the mixed crowd, republicans, democrats. was there any joy in the crowd or was it combative? >> it's both. i think people love to go there because you get a chance to shout at the other guy. >> they're having fun, right? >> they're having fun. there's barbecue, they cook ten tons of barbecue out there. >> ten tons? >> that's a lot of meat. >> a lot of barbecue. >> it's like a kentucky-louisville game. >> listen, at the risk of hurting your sides from
laughing, do you want to see one more? >> are you ready for rand paul? >> yeah, i was going to ask about the rand paul impact. i'm excited to see this. >> senator rand paul. >> there once was a woman from kentucky who thought in politics she'd be lucky. so she flew to l.a. for a hollywood bash, she came home in a flash with buckets of cash. to liberals she whispers, coal makes you sick. in kentucky she claims coal makes us tick. one thing that we know is true, one thing we know is guaranteed, she cast her first vote for harry reid. >> i wanted to ask you about the rand paul part because he's patched together a pretty smart, strong coalition of supporters for himself but he's not really world's most charismatic stump speecher. what is his impact? what effect did that have?
>> what's interesting about rand on saturday was that he completely put aside all of the issues he's been talking about to pull together this national campaign. he didn't talk about enlarging the republican party. he didn't talk about speaking more to minority groups in this country. he was a completely -- it was a perfect surrogate for senator mcconnell and everything he did was on the talking points of the mcconnell campaign. i'm not sure who wrote his limericks. >> i was going to say, if he was a perfect surrogate, he would have left his little limerick at home. >> didn't he remind you a little of henny youngman? >> tripp, thank you for being with us, we appreciate it. still ahead, is mitt romney going to be the republican candidate by default in 2016? why the third time just may be the charm for the former

♪ welcome back >> what a song. with us our dear friend pat buchanan. he's the author of "the greatest comeback." also with us we've got senior contributor of the daily caller and columnist for the week, matt lewis. we're going to get to pat's book in just a few minutes but first let's talk about mitt romney and this mitt romney revival. i was seeing matt lewis talked about you before. >> yeah, we had a good conversation just about a week ago. >> it's crazy, everybody is starting to turn back to mitt romney. he's going out, he's campaigning for them. what's going on here? >> i think the establishment of the republican party is seeing that chris christie may not be able to do it and that jeb bush does not look like he's in fit running condition. and i think they're looking to romney because they're looking for a candidate they think can move outside the red state base and win blue states possibly. the polls are showing romney
running ten points or so ahead of obama. but he's running behind -- he's running behind hillary. my view, though, is that romney is sort of the nixon in the sense that he's a candidate who's lost two times or three times, whatever. and he's considered a loser. however, he's considered presidential material. i think a lot of people are looking at him because they think that maybe he's the only guy that can really go the distance. >> a lot of people are going back looking at the things he said with russia and other things. mitt was right, barack obama was wrong. maybe we should give this didn't i another look. >> i think so. and also there's a lot of folks that say if one of the tea party folks win or libertarians win, we're not going to win the election, he's one of the few guys that can do it. >> matt lewis, you wrote this on a romney comeback. ironically romney is tailor made to benefit from having lost before.
it actually transforms romney into a more compelling candidate. having struggled and stumbled is, for romney at least, a feature, not a bug. explain that. >> that's right. look, for other candidates losing, it's a deal breaker, they're losers forever. but the knock on mitt romney has never been that he's a loser, it's always been that he's this kid in the front of the class with his hand up. kind of the goody goody who's lived a charmed life, he's got a beautiful wife, he's made a lot of money and i think we resent that honestly. i think the public doesn't like that about him. there's a movie why like the "rocky" movies are about people that make a comeback. i think it's possible that romney could benefit from having gone through this experience, having lost and then showing us that he's resilient and that he can make a comeback, like pat was talking about nixon. sometimes it could actually work in your favor. >> pat, you know, nixon ran at a
different time, in a different field of candidates. how much of this romney resurrection talk that's going on do you think emanates from seeing people like rand paul on tv or the bleeding arrogance of a ted cruz? i mean delegates and republican leaders see that and think, geez, mitt romney is looking better and better. >> i want to associate myself with all your comments about cruz and rand, but there's no doubt about it. in the mainstream of the republican party, a lot of folks are behind rand, he's a libertarian, but they don't think he can win it. they think cruz may do extremely well in the primaries but they don't think he can win. but i also agree about the fact matt mentioned the fact that he lost. nixon told me back in 1966-67, you know, i'm eight years younger than i was in 1960 and so on who was on his staff was eight years older. he had gone through a tremendous maturing process. he was less angry, less youthful, less in your face.
and i think a man benefits from getting beat. i think romney has clearly benefited as that and he's someone who's much more acceptable to the broad middle of america which is nonideological and nonpolitical. >> nixon is less angry? >> 1967, '68, he was very mature, very mature. my wife worked with him in 1960 and he was angry and he didn't put on makeup when he went to the debate. he'd get requests to do an interview and he'd brush them off. by '68, he listened. he had a young staff. none of us had been in 1960 at all. and he just -- he was a mature guy moving right through that incredible year '68 of assassination, of war and riots in the city and urban disorder, republican party split with goldwater wing and the nixon wing and rockefeller wing. >> so democrats get beaten up in 1960 and then humiliated in 1962 in his race for governor made
him a better candidate in '68. >> and after that '62 defeat he said you won't have nixon to kick around anymore. quits politics. comes to new york. then goes out and campaigns for goldwater and then he sees, and i think i saw it when i went to see him in '65, you can see that path down the sideline opening up. and nixon said to himself i'm not going to kick this away, i'm not going to blow it. i'm going to do everything right. we probably won't be able to make it, but it was clearly there and he could see it. and he did everything right between '65 and '68. it was one of the most flawless campaigns i think that has gone on in the 20th century to take a noncharismatic figure, who had really, as you said, been humiliated and defeated, and have him get up off his butt and campaign for everyone in 1966, get into a head to head with lindyndon johnson then make a really smart decision stepping out of politics.
he said i'm taking a moratorium for six months, he took it for a year. as he told me about mitt romney's father, he said let them chew on him for a little while. and then nixon returned for a section round. >> and that's exactly what romney is letting the press chew on, you know, whether it's rand paul or whether -- you name it. they're all chewing on them. he's just kind of sitting back waiting and seeing. it could be -- it could be an opportunity for him. >> absolutely. look, i think this is brilliant on nixon's behalf. i think that sort of laying low is an underrated political strategy these days. everybody has this sense that you have to be out there, you have to be generating buzz. but it takes a toll on people over the course of years. and i think it may be that a year from now or year and a half from now, we're sick of ted cruz and rand paul and even, you know, talk about jeb bush and then you turn to mitt romney, who would be fresh and he would
be a compromise candidate who could come in fresh. he could instantly turn on the money machine. the other obvious analogy, though, he's doing what nixon did. he's going to be out campaigning this year for republicans all across the country. if republicans have a good midterm election, it's the nixon playbook strategy. >> just like republicans did in 1966 before the '68 comeback. matt, thank you so much. we greatly appreciate you being with us. pat, stay with us because coming up next, more on your book on how richard nixon was able to push beyond the warring factions in the gop and have one of the most incredible comebacks in american history. that's straight ahead when "morning joe" returns. you drop 40 grand on a new set of wheels, then... wham! a minivan t-bones you. guess what: your insurance company will only give you 37-thousand to replace it.

with us now, former senior adviser to president nixon, pat buchanan. he's the author of "the greatest comeback, how richard nixon rose from defeat to create the new majority" also with his professor of university at rice university, the co-editor of the new book "the nixon tapes." president richard nixon, uncensored, unfiltered and in his own words. if pat buchanan had his way, you never would have had the opportunity to write that book. and from london we have jon
meacham who regularly burns tapes. i love this quote, pat, from "the greatest comeback." dwight chappin said starting in '66 there was a recurring refrain you would hear around the nixon office. accrued through the campaign and even greater through the years of the administration and continued to the post presidency. it was what does buchanan think? what does buchanan say? pat, you have a thousand memos that you sent to nixon and his responses that make up this book. extraordinary. tell everybody again the story of how you met nixon and how you got involved early in his comeback. >> well, i first met nixon when i was on the caddie log at burning tree country club in 1954 and '55. they put out the vice president's golf bag. the assistant pro looked over at the rookie caddie, and i went
around 18 holes with richard nixon. then i'm a young editorial writer and he's coming over to bellville, illinois, to speak. i got invited, went up and met him in the kitchen and said if you're going to run in '68, i'd like to get aboard early. two weeks later i was in his office in new york and i was hired december, 1965. and there are only three people in the office. rosemary woods, pat buchanan and a lady named pat ryan who was answering the phones. patricia ryan nixon. we had a couple guys travel with us in '66. he went out to 35 states, 80 congressional districts and it was a phenomenal republican comeback, 47 house seats. suddenly he was in the hunt again. >> so how did this happen, pat? we have to put this in proper
perspective. nixon lost in '60. he ran for governor in '62, he lost to pat brown. he said you won't have nixon to kick around anymore. howard k. case brought on a soviet spy and the program was called "the obituary of richard milhouse nixon." three years later you believe he's going to win. >> the most brilliant thing and the right thing he did, both right and wise, was in 1964 when that tremendous convention when they're cursing nelson rockefeller, you know, he's demanding extremism be denounced, nixon introduces goldwater and then he goes out and campaigns for goldwater harder than goldwater did himself. at the end of that goldwater says, you know, i know you didn't do it for yourself, you did it for me. if you ever have selfish motives, i'm with you.
that meant that goldwater, who was the martyr of our conservative movement and the leader of the conservative movement politically, i saw if we could weld goldwater's movement to nixon's center of the republican party, there is no way nelson rockefeller or romney, who had both taken a hike on goldwater, could get the nomination. as soon as i got with richard nixon, i said the first thing we've got to do is we have to go capture the entire conservative movement, move them into our camp before this guy, reagan, in california wins the governorship. >> jon meacham in london. >> pat, i'm curious. after '68, nixon is in the house. he says watch what we do and not what we see say and a lot of people see the nixon administration as a bigger government philosophy and practice than people would have expected in '68. take us inside the white house in '69, '70, '71 with the
development of a really aggressive domestic policy. >> well, nixon was not a goldwater conservative , he gre up in the depression, admired woodrow wilson. he had no problem with new ideas and fresh ideas. that statement by john mitchell, that was about segregation. he was telling the civil rights leaders and the others, watch what we do, not what we say. we were raising the devil with some of these court decisions on court-ordered bussing. but if you take what nixon did, he came in with 10% of the southern states desegregated. when he was out, it was 70% of them. now, it was a bloody mess all through that process, but nixon was pro civil rights, he was anti-forced racial balance and that's what he did. and it was a success. but look what else he did. he ended the draft as he promised to do. he put in the 18-year-old vote. he created the environmental protection agency. all of these things, domestic
policies were dramatic and foreign policies, who can rival the opening to china. he ended the war in vietnam. all the troops came home as he promised, the p.o.w.s came home. he saved israel in the yawar. enormous achievements. if he had quit after his first term, he would have been regarded as one of the near great presidents. >> in 1972 he had the biggest landslide. in december of '72 nixon is leaning back, taking a moment to celebrate and said somebody write a book about 1972, one of the west years in political history. we did so much. and as pat suggested, in many ways he was domestically a continuation of a new deal liberal. built a great society. family assistance, clean air and
water. he created the dea. he was believing in big government still. >> that was one of the things we worked in '72. here was a guy completely dead isn't '65. by 1972 he's created this new political majority, which succeeds the roosevelt coalition and dominates presidential politics all the way up until 1992. a 49-state victory for a guy who ten years earlier said good-bye and good luck, i'm done with politics. >> what about internally, though, pat, within the white house during that period of time. especially the first term. you were just talking about the first term. nixon is not alone in this, but if you listen to some of the tapes and read the transcripts of the tapes, he and kissinger had an opportunity, several opportunities to end the war in vietnam long -- well before it was ended. >> right. well, my feeling on that is -- well, nixon told me after i left office i should have done in 1969 what i did in '72. in other words, bombing hanoi.
i think the north vietnamese jerked him around again and again. he desperately wanted to end that war but he wanted to end it in a way in which the whole thing did not come crashing down. that's one of the real -- what happened in vietnam, what happened in cambodia, you have the holocaust there. but he wanted to make sure that all these sacrifices, death and suffering of these 58,000 americans was not poured down a sewer, was not done in vain, and my '73 he seems to have succeeded. but then he's broken. congress cuts off all aid to the south vietnamese. north vietnamese wait for nixon to get out of office for eight months and then they go. >> jon meacham back in london. >> pat, talk about, if you would, the republican party's evolution because you have in
the primary campaign in '76 of reagan, the '80 campaign. you have a kind of reaction, right, to the nixon, both with the soviets and the larger government role we were just talking about. talk about the party's evolution. >> all right. in 1972 -- people forget, you mentioned bill buckley i know on the show often. 1972 bill buckley broke with nixon and supported the manhattan 12. they put john ashbrook in the primary against us, a mistake, bill. but that showed you the dissent, its dissent in the conservative movement over what you're talking about, nixon's building of the great society. and then ford continued detente. my 1976 -- i remember a story henry kissinger and i were at the '76 convention and henry was nervous. he was going to the convention and he said i'm heading off to the convention hall, pat. i said i'll be right behind you,
henry, i'm leading the demonstration against you. and so -- but that was -- detente was the thing that drove foreign policy. anti-communism always drove the conservative movement. that's what drove goldwater. by 1980, that movement that had taken over the nomination was now capable not only of getting the nomination but of winning a presidential election. but even reagan wasn't as conservative as is believed by everyone now. >> right. >> he told me once in the white house, reagan, he called me up and said, pat, pat, some of my friends want me to go over the cliff with flags flying. and then he walked away. and i said, yeah, and i'm one of them, you know. no, but he knew we were pushing him and pushing him and that's the nature of the movement. and i think by 1992, jon, there's no doubt about it that clinton understood that we've got to get the south and we cannot keep writing these folks off with these liberal
candidates. we've got to get some of them and of course george h.w. bush had moved away again and somebody was challenging him in the primaries. >> boom. there you go, baby. pat buchanan, thank you so much. the book is "the greatest comeback, richard nixon rose from defeat to create the new majority." i can't wait to tear through this book and want to interview you some more. maybe we'll do a package on this. plus i'm reading another great book on rakivic. there was an amazing scene about how reagan was going from the summit to the base and you were completely in the dark and said that you were scribbling down all the notes -- >> i was rewriting his speech because the whole thing had blown up there. i have never seen reagan, ronald reagan as angry as i saw him there when he came out of that room. you know, i remember a guy -- we were standing up looking down, he and gorbachev came out and a
buddy of mine with us said i don't like the body language. >> all right. pat, thank you. we will see you again soon. doug brinkley, thank you so much. it's great to see you. jon meacham, back in your hometown in london. we'll see you in a little bit. think the tree we carved our names in is still here? probably dead... how much fun is this? what? what a beautiful sunset... if you like sunsets. whether you're sweet or salty... you'll love nature valley sweet and salty bars.

that was a look at the upcoming epix documentary and legendary filmmaker on robert altman. joining us is his widow. it's genius, the list of movies that bob altman directed, just incredible. what was it like? what was it like living with a genius? >> well, that's a very good question and it's hard to answer because i never really -- that wasn't -- that wasn't established. we were married 47 years, so i didn't -- >> he didn't really seem like a genius to you. >> no, not the first 40. >> exactly. but there was obviously an extraordinary body of work that continues even to this day. >> true. >> and tell us what we're going to see in this documentary. >> this documentary, i think, is a terrific piece and i really think it covers his entire life
in such a good way. i was naturally a little nervous about it, and i'm completely convinced that it's the best coverage i could possibly imagine. >> why were you nervous? >> well, it was a vast and varied life. we got -- the right person came to me, the young filmmaker from canada, ron mann, who had done a lot of documentaries. i had not seen any of them at the time. and he's very unconventional. this is not your run-of-the-mill documentary because he wasn't a run-of-the-mill man. he wasn't a middle of the roader and neither is this. >> bob, you've got lyle lovett, who was in four films, including "the player," a classic, the same with bruce willis, robin williams and so many others. talk about your involvement. >> well, i met robert altman when i was about 22 years old.
you didn't know that, i don't think. >> i had forgotten that. >> i've known him ever since that. he's a god for actors, robert. when we set out to make "gosford park" it started as a vague idea and i ran to robert and said would it interest you to do a murder mystery in england. i thought it might because he never wanted to do the same thing twice and he always wanted a different city and different groups of people and yet there were similarities to his movies. so much to my surprise we got to make "gosford park" because robert sent up his tent in london, got a nice hotel room. we had a wonderful script, no money and no actors. as soon as people heard that robert was in london, every actor in london basically called and said, please, can i come in and be in the movie. >> does it strike the both of you now, we had a news item about the top-grossing movie over the weekend is a science
fiction movie, it's machines. these were stories, these were movies with beginning, middle and end. does it strike you now the huge difference between altman's film-making prowess and what's going on today in the business? >> i think it was always different. robert always ran counter to what was happening, not necessarily because he wanted to be counter but he wanted to be who he was. he didn't change. there's something called altmanesque, what does it mean to be altmanesque. well, ougaltmanesque to robert meant never having to say you're sorry. he never apologized because he did what he loved doing and he was always counter. >> absolutely. >> do you have a favorite? >> no, i don't have a favorite. i kind of find myself saying the same thing that he would say when asked that question so many times. he would always say my films are like my children, and i'm the most concerned with the one that's the most needy at the
time. >> it sounds -- all right, thank you guys so much.

strikes three people on a new york beach. two of the victims, a father and his teenage son, were taking shelter under a tree when that lightning bolt hit the tree, sending them flying at least ten feet. take a look at this photo. the lightning was so powerful, look at that, it shredded their clothes. >> it was really loud, like, just, boom! like a bomb blew up. >> lightning hit the water. >> it hit the water? >> it hit the water or the sand. you could see an explosion. >> just things lifting up and people just running. and this picture out of florida. thunder and lightning forcing the florida gators football team to postpone and then cancel their home opener. terrifying moments at a church bazaar in texas. two people are seriously injured after falling nearly 30 feet to the ground midcarnival ride. fire crews believe the ride malfunctioned, but witnesses say at least one person who fell was not wear his seat belt. the victims' conditions were not yet released.

well, it's jihadists gone wild, throwing a pool party at the cia annex in libya. how in the world did this even happen? peter ducy joins us live from washington, d.c., with the answer. good morning, peter. >> good morning, anna. and the latest video out of libya looks like a party theme from a movie about having the neighborhood over when someone's parents are away, but the backdrop isn't a house, it's this cia residential annex in tripoli, and the men on screen are not harmless teenagers, they are reportedly jihadists with a group called dawn of libya, who look like they're having a blast, cheering each other on, diving off the roof and into the pool. apparently, these militia men moved in a week ago, but it's been more than a month since american personnel moved out, with the state department saying "at this point, we believe the embassy compound itself remains secure, but we continue to monitor the situation on the ground, which remains very fluid.
the primary reason the united states temporarily relocated our personnel and operations from tripoli recently was the ongoing fighting between militias occurring very close to our compound." furthermore, ambassador to libya, deborah jones, tweeted "per my knowledge and recent photos, the u.s. embassy tripoli compound is now being safeguarded and has not been ransacked." right now we still don't know exactly who the u.s. government hired to guard these specific buildings in libya after all the americans left, but it doesn't look like those guards did a very good job. back to you. >> all right, peter. thanks so much. >> interesting. doesn't look like it's all being that well protected. >> no. it looks like justin bieber's house over there. high-dives and carrying on. >> yikes. well, today, britain's prime minister, david cameron's going to be laying out a counterterrorism plan. we already saw him raise the terror threat level to severe, the highest it's been in some three years. and he's going to be cracking
down on passports, making it easier to strip terror suspects of those. this is something that we've seen from a lot of commentators, saying the president is showing a real sign of weakness, not leading in the way that david cameron is. this no-strategy strategy is not working for him. >> and he quickly raised the terror level threat and already is coming up with a plan, stating that today. it's creating mixed feelings, even among the democrats. one democratic congressman had this to say yesterday on the house intelligence committee. take a listen. >> i know the president was criticized saying we don't have a plan. you just don't come in and bomb unless you know where you are, who you're going to get. you don't want collateral damage killing other people. and when the time is right, we will do what we have to do. you just don't rush in because the media is talking about it. you don't rush in because other countries aren't going to tell
us what to do. >> interesting. what does rush in mean? i mean, it's not like this hasn't been going on for years and now, suddenly, we say wait, we don't want to rush in. >> and they say we don't want to rush in like the bush administration rushed -- let's remember, the bush administration put together a huge coalition. they had u.n. resolutions, they had a vote in congress, there was a year leading up to that. so, i don't think anybody's accusing obama of rushing in. i think everybody's taking their time. but i think the point is, if you're going to announce that you don't have a strategy and then you're going to go play golf, i think the american people, after we've had an american beheaded, are wondering, why are you playing golf? why aren't you working on a strategy? there's a big disconnect here with the president and the american people. >> yeah, and we've heard from senator dianne feinstein, of course, a democrat, who says that, you know what, isis doesn't want to stop until they spill our blood and that the president is simply too cautious in his foreign policy, especially in this instance. take a listen. >> jordan's at jeopardy, lebanon
as the jeopardy, the uaa and other countries are in jeopardy. so, there is good reason for people to come together now and begin to approach this as a very real threat that it in fact, is. >> the president back in january told "the new yorker" magazine's david remnick that isis is the jv team. that was clearly wrong. >> well, i think it's wrong, too. i think it's a major varsity team. >> what do you think about the uprising in 2011 in syria? the president has said several options put before him, according to mike rogers. he says this is simply the president not wanting to be engaged. he's had time, he's had the options, and this is methodical, this is on purpose. >> and also directly contradicting the president. so, completely, exactly the same -- not what the president is saying. take a listen, though, to what one of the republican congressmen is saying, mike rogers. he is saying it is very simple. this is the president's plan. it's intentional, he just does not want to be engaged.
>> we're spending a lot of time talking about things that we won't do. that's the problem. the president wants to tell you what he won't do. he's having a hard time putting the coalition together to talk about what they will do. you're not going to humanitarian aid isis out of iraq and syria. it's going to take more than that. there have been plans on the table. the president just did not want to get engaged in any way. that is a decision. that is a policy. that is a strategy. and it's not working. >> this does seem to be the strategy, is that there is no strategy. he doesn't want to get engaged. you saw it in libya. he led from behind. it was a total disaster. he led mubarak in egypt basically be deposed and did nothing. he drew a red line in syria, and assad is still there and genocide's taking place. so, he's actively trying to not engage, because i think truthfully, he thinks u.s. military power is going to have a negative effect on the region. i think a lot of people disagree with that. a lot of people are looking to join the coalition. but why would you join the coalition?
he's pulled the rug out from under our allies with the red line comment. he's alienated some of our best friends in great britain, in germany, in israel. i think a lot of people don't trust the president to follow through on what he says he's going to do. >> yeah, they think it's a foreign policy failure all the way around and that, certainly, our adversaries are watching this coalition that is hopefully going to be formed at some point during this nato summit on thursday and friday in wales. it's going to be addressing not just isis, but also what putin's doing in ukraine. >> we're going to get a lot more on this this morning. guess what else is in the picture this weekend, labor day? >> our buddle. >> our buddy, alec baldwin. coming unhinged again, getting into a scuffle with photographers. there you go. he's outside a hamptons playground. police are dispatched to handle the situation. the photographer was out there trying to take pictures of him and his family at the playground. and the cops had to be called. >> you know, in some instances, it's like, you feel bad for these celebrities, right?
they can't go anywhere. they can't even go out to the hamptons and new york and enjoy a nice day at the playground with the family, but who acts like this? and it's not as if alec baldwin doesn't have a history of getting into scuffles with the media. >> right. i mean, people say this photographer was provoking alec baldwin and his wife. it's a he said-she said, you don't know what to believe. it's like you poke a bear and the bear's going to attack and run wild, but you don't really give the benefit of the doubt to alec baldwin. he's getting into scuffles almost every week with these guys. it's like a cottage industry. it's good for him, i think, his career now, because whenevhe pua ka areaman and he's back in the picture. >> he grabbed his shirt and apparently the guy didn't press charges. apparently, alec has to behave until january. the cop told him if you have any more problems, it's going to escalate. so, the photographer did not press charges on the guy because he said alec just wants to be with his family, can tell he's a good family guy, loves his kids,
didn't press charges. so, maybe either alec's learning and calmed him down or he realized, i have until january. >> i wouldn't give him to october to behave. we'll see. we'll follow that closely. >> we see how alec baldwin is spending his labor day weekend. what about you? what are you up to? barbecues, pool parties, neighborhood parades, fireworks? send us your pictures and we'll be sharing them throughout the show. all right, coming up, the boston marathon bombing and ft. hood shooting committed by radical muslim americans, but tell that to the fbi. the latest domestic terrorism report doesn't even refer to islamic terrorist threats? and it's a close call for swimmers at the beach. the shark encounter forcing them to scramble. it's a video you have got to see. at od, whatever business you're in, that's the business we're in.

taking or after stopping chantix. if you notice any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix. don't take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you develop these, stop chantix and see your doctor right away as some could be life threa tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems, or if you develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. use caution when driving or operating machinery. common side effects include nausea, trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. i did not know what it was like to be a non-smoker. but i do now. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you.
hey, everyone, good morning. both the boston marathon bombing and ft. hood shooting were committed by radical muslim americans, but tell that to the fbi. their latest domestic terrorism assessment doesn't even refer to islamist terrorist threats. here to weigh in is president of american islamic forum philosophy and retired navy officer dr. jasner.
good morning. great to have you with us. >> good morning. it's great to be with you. >> i want everyone to see what is involved with the fbi extremist list. it says "antigovernment militia groups, white supremacy extremists, black separatists, sovereign citizen nationalists, anarchist, animal rights extremists, environmental extremists, abortion activists and puerto rico nationalists. they're stealing the headlines today, aren't they? it's jaw-dropping that islamic extremists are not on this list. what do you say to this? >> as a muslim who has been fighting radical islam, you wonder why the voice of moderates aren't getting out? you have two major issues. one is, clearly, the administration and homeland security are in a deep state of denial, rooted in political correctness and, basically, a fear of engaging the ideology. they're just afraid to engage it. secondly is, this really is a sign of the deep, profound influence of muslim brotherhood legacy groups and the
organization of islamic cooperation lobby in defining the language that we use in this debate. i mean, abroad in the middle east, they call themselves islamists, and yet, we can't even use that diagnosis to call them. and now we wonder, there's over 200 americans serving in isis, and that just happened in the last few months. it was happening when this report was made and they weren't even talking about it. >> right, and you think back to ft. hood and the shouting of al you akbar, and somehow, it's considered workplace violence. and then take the headlines from last week when we had the two guys from minneapolis who were radicalized and ended up being killed while fighting for isis. we've got estimates of hundreds of western people who have gone, they have western passports. they can come back and hurt our homeland, obviously. what kind of a danger are we in if we don't recognize this issue? >> we're in danger of continuing to be in a whac-a-mole program
where we continue to do the same thing in an insane way without learning the lessons that we have, because we aren't engaged in solutions. the only solution is to engage in muslims that fight against this islamo patriotism that pulls our muslim youth into movements like isis, hamas and other radical groups and pulls them back into american nationalism, british nationalism, western loyalty. and unless we engage muslims like our group that has the muslim liberty project or our american islamic leadership coalition to have a seat at the table, america's going to be more at threat than ever before. i'm sorry, this report is a pre9/11 mentality. and muslims that are fighting for reform are being left in the shadows, because it's as if there's nothing going on within the house of islam, and the oic lobby and the muslim brotherhood groups are driving american policy today. >> dr. jasser, why do you think more muslim groups aren't speaking out like you? you have a unique perspective, being muslim and having served
in the united states navy. but why aren't more speaking out to share the divide and make americans realize that we need to do something about this? >> because the government doesn't want to engage islam and muslims. it wants to pretend no problem exists so we don't even exist, but we exist. we're making statements. if they listen to us, you'll hear more of our voices. >> okay. dr. zuhdi.jasser, happy labor day. thanks for being with us. >> thank you. coming up on "fox & friends," this woman accused of killing her own daughter, but she'll still get the child's trust fund, even if she's convicted? how does that even work? and there is a massive water crisis in california, but critics are saying a new bill would give fish more rights than farmers. it's the latest version of government gone wild. ♪ i wanna know have you seen the rain ♪

when folks think about what they get from alaska, they think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence. it's one more part of our commitment to america.
welcome back. some quick headlines now. five people are dead after their small plane crashes into a field north of denver. barely missing nearby homes. witnesses heard the plane sputtering shortly before crashing. it's not clear if the plane was taking off or trying to land. and the search for a pilot who crashed a small plane off the coast of virginia is halted after a boater finds what's believed to be the aircraft's wheel and engine cover. the coast guard says that they are unlikely to find anything else. the pilot is believed to be ronald hutchinson, a retired harley-davidson executive with 43 years of flying experience. jesse. >> thanks, chris. a new law regulating the pumping of groundwater being sent to the california governor.
while it would protect fish in the delta smelt, critics say it takes away property rights and hurts farmers already struggling in a three-year-long drought. tim donnelly is a republican on the california state assembly, and he joins us now from los angeles. good morning. >> good morning, jesse. >> so, let's get this straight. this is not a result of global warming, this is bad liberal government policy. one of the things that's happening is that they're not storing water for times in crisis. they're letting this excess water, basically drift out into the ocean because they want to protect some fish? why is it so important that we now defend this fish? what is this fish? >> well, the fish in question is the delta smelt. and essentially, in order to protect four buckets of minnows from dying every year, they have deprived farmers and ranchers of their basic fundamental allocations of water. you have a state water project that was supposed to build a ton
of dams, and then they were going to have a peripheral canal to keep the excess water that comes down through the rivers and be able to use that for agriculture and ranching and also even residential use in southern california. but instead, they let it run out into the delta, because in large part, they've got to flush out the raw sewage that the city of sacramento and other cities are dumping in there. and that's really killing more fish than anything else. >> so, the same liberal politicians that ended up creating this policy are now trying to come in and save the day. and so, they have this new plan that they're going to do, and then they're going to try to regulate private property.
under the purview and control of the state water resources control board instead of under the control of local communities who have elected water boards. this board is unelected, it's unaccountable, it's based in sacramento, and you're talking about literally -- at some point, they're going to wind up charging people for their own water that they're drawing from their own land. and of course, that will create inflation and food will cost more, all because of the government. >> that's exactly right. now you're seeing, you know, high jobless numbers in these agricultural areas. you're seeing food prices already going up. i don't even know if this is taking a toll on governor jerry brown, but listen, we've got to
go. thank you very much. hopefully, you guys get some rain out there, okay? >> great. thanks. >> all right. coming up, remember this kid catching heat from his neighbor for running a lemonade stand? the ironic trouble that the neighbor now finds himself in this morning. and it's a close call for these swimers at the beach. a shark encounter forcing them to scramble. it's the video you've got to see for yourself. but first, happy birthday to our friend, dr. phil. he turns 64 today. ♪ ♪ baby get your shine on ♪ (car starting) great. this is the last thing i need. seriously? let's take this puppy over to midas and get you some of the good 'ol midas touch. hey you know what? i'll drive! i really didn't think this through. brakes, tires, oil, everything.

good morning, everyone. an extreme weather alert on this labor day. thousands of people in sergeant bluff, iowa, waking up in the dark after a massive storm
knocked down power lines and tossed trees into homes. one person struck by lightning. maria marina. that's the word that i messed up on after all that. maria is tracking the storms for us today. >> reporter: hey, good morning. good to see you. hello, everybody! happy labor day. we're all here watching the weather very closely to see what our outdoor plans look like. and like you mentioned, we had extreme weather yesterday across parts of iowa, parts of the plains seeing severe weather. by the w massachusetts, in wooster county -- i believe i'm pronouncing that correctly -- they had a confirmed tornado. an ef-0 with maximum winds there at 85 miles per hour. thankfully, no injuries. and unfortunately today, we could be looking at more severe storms stretching from parts of eastern kansas up into the great lakes. large hail, damaging winds and isolated tornadoes will be a concern. and we are still heading into the peak of the atlantic hurricane season, and i want to take you now to the gulf of mexico, because the national hurricane center is tracking an area of showers and storms,
pretty disorganized right now moving through parts of the yucatan peninsula, and it does have a high chance, about 60%, of being a named storm or a tropical depression within the next 48 hours. temperaturewise, it is going to be a hot labor day across parts of the south and parts of texas. 99 degrees for dallas, 102 in del rio. that's very typical for this time of the year. it's been hot. parts of the southeast also into the 90s. but take a look at rapid city and minneapolis. out there you're only in the 60s and 70s. factor in the humidity across portions of the southeast, and it's going to be a lot hotter, or feel a lot hotter than what it reads like on the thermometer. 99 is going to be your heat index value in the city of memphis. let's head back inside. >> thanks, maria. yes, summer is here finally. we haven't had summer at all. >> it's the end of summer and now it's here. >> worcester, massachusetts. it's worcester. >> remember we told you last week about this cute little
12-year-old who set up a lemonade stand? many of you or your kids have done it. >> yeah. >> well, apparently, he had this crochety neighbor, doug wilkey, who tried to shut him down because he didn't have a license. well, those who throw stones shouldn't live in glass houses. apparently, this guy also is running a business out of his home, allegedly, a financial business, without the proper permitting. >> amazing. amazing how that happens. you know what, this kid is selling lemonade and mowing lawns so he can pay for his own cell phone bill and take his mom to dinner. i mean, how amazing that? >> what a good kid. >> what a good kid. those are the kids we want to be supporting, we want to be raising in this country, not people who are going to run that business out of their homes later on without a license. >> you can't even be a kid anymore. i mean, everyone says go outside and stop playing video games. all of a sudden, the guy goes outside and gets shut down because he's trying to sell lemonade. i mean, you can't play football now because it's too dangerous, you know. you can't sell lemonade, you can't play tag because it might offend people. can't even say merry christmas these days if you're a kid.
it's totally crazy! i don't know what's going on. >> we had d.j. guerrero on the show last week. listen to what he said. >> this lemonade stand is a very good business and that everybody else is supporting the lemonade stand. so, i think he should, too. >> he says it's very loud and some of the people that come there use profanity. >> it does kind of make me upset, the fact that he is kind of lying, because nobody does that. but everybody else is supporting me so much, so that just brings me right back up. >> yeah. and here's the other ironic twist to this. since the neighbor who tried to shut him down, little t.j. has gotten an influx of customers, obviously, because he's been on tv, not just around his neighborhood in florida, but in new york city, in europe, everywhere. he's been given donations, free limo rides and had all kinds of extra customers. so, you know what he's done with that, aside from taking his mom to dinner and paying his cell phone bill?
he's donating himself to things like the humane society. >> a great gift. something tells me that doug wilkey, the man running an illegal business out of his house, will not be getting a boost to his business. >> and if he's smart, he should have hired this kid. the kid's obviously a entrepreneur. bring home to the team! what's going on, guys? >> e-mail us. let us know what you think about this @foxfriendsnews.com. ainsley earhardt has a look at the headlines. >> lots of people hitting the beach, so listen to this. a close call. a hammerhead shark hunting its dinner, getting far too close to two oblivious swimmers in destin, florida. >> get out of water! >> he's coming towards you! go, go, go! >> wow. those are the two swimmers in the forefront of that shot. you can see the shark in the background. the shark was chasing a stingray, but it eventually took a turn, and that's when the two
swimmers saw that shark thrashing around in the water. they immediately -- look at that, they're running on to the beach to get away, just in time. just three days after implementing a new domestic violence policy, the nfl gets its first test. 49ers defensive end ray mcdonald arrested in san jose on felony domestic violence charges. team officials saying that they're aware of the arrest and they're looking into the facts. mcdonald out now on a $25,000 bail, says that fans will know what happened soon enough. >> the truth will come out. everybody knows what kind of person i am. i'm a good-hearted person, i mean, you know. >> well, the nfl just announced a six-game, unpaid ban on players who violate the league's domestic violence policy. a mother charged in her own daughter's death could inherit the girl's million-dollar trust fund, even if that mother is found guilty. nicole diggs, accused of withholding food and medical

hey, everyone. good morning. we have a fox news alert now. the family of jones rivers praying for a miracle this morning as doctors try to wake the 81-year-old from a medically induced coma. let's get right to wnyw reporter theresa priolo live outside of mt. sinai medical center in new york city. good morning. >> good morning. the family remains optimistic but are in a holding pattern, a wait-and-see approach. they have to determine once joan rivers is awakened from her coma if, in fact, she is able to lead any sort of normal life at all. the family over the weekend said
"thank you for your continued love and support. we are keeping our fingers crossed." the feisty and very funny 81-year-old stopped breathing during a routine throat procedure thursday. it occurred at an east side clinic here in manhattan. doctors when she arrived at mt. sinai hospital placed her in a medically induced coma, and yesterday they tried to bring her out of that coma, a process they say will take about three days, anywhere from two to three days. and once she awakes, they will be able to determine exactly what her status is, what type of life she can lead, what her injuries are, and her family will be able to make some type of informed decision from that point forward. this is a woman whose career has spanned six decades. she appeals to all generations. and yet, just the night before she fell ill, she was having dinner with longtime friends who said that she was joking about dying and what she would leave to friends in her will, and she saw this minor procedure as nothing more than a simple little procedure that would be nothing. certainly, no indication of what
was to come on thursday morning. we'll stay here live at mt. sinai hospital to see if the family has any further statement and certainly any change in joan rivers's condition. that's the latest from mt. sinai. anna, back to the studio. >> we're certainly pulling for her. from stand-up comedy to "fashion police," a lot of fans. rick, over to you. >> so true. so, there's a massive hack attack hitting hollywood. racy photos of more than 100 celebrities, including people like jennifer lawrence and kate upton, have been leaked online. the hacker was able to get the photos through a reported glitch in apple's icloud service. so, what do you need to know about protecting yourself with any sharing device? here to explain is kurt ka neutzen, the cyber guy. how's this each happen? >> that's a great question, the first question we need to start with. first of all, the list of these celebrities goes on and on. ariana grande, kirsten dunst or are a couple more.
the website is where all of a sudden, these nude photographs, and apparently, a video that's about two minutes long that would not be the kind of video you would want mom and dad to see of jennifer lawrence is also out and about. and somebody at that site is saying that they'd like you to transfer some money by paypal in order to upload it somewhere else, and they've also commented that they want to keep the fbi from getting involved. well, guess what, buster? if you're in the u.s., the fbi is not only going to be involved, but they will be after the type of break-in that has happened here. the question leads us now -- i mean, this affects celebrities' value in the marketplace. it either ups the ante or, in some cases, it damages the celebrity's future earnings. you and i using icloud -- now, there's no reported confirmation that this did come from icloud. what we know is that anonymously, people have posted at the same site that that is the source of this type -- these
photographs. >> so, we don't know for sure. >> we don't know for sure. >> in a sense, it doesn't really matter. if the photos are out there somehow, the thing you and i and all of us at home need to know, how do we keep that stuff safe? you take a picture on your phone, whatever it is, your kids, your parents, something that you want to be your own personal information. how do we know that's safe out there? >> you may not have the type of information that these celebrities had on their phones that are out there, but here's some tips to get right away. go with a stronger password. it doesn't matter if you're using icloud or another cloud service, you're going to have stuff up there that you want protected. a stronger password is going to take you. on "fox & friends" website, we show you an instructional video how this morning you can logon and see how to make a stronger password. >> quickly on the password. sometimes apple will stay, here's our suggested stronger password. if i pick their suggested stronger password, does that mean i'm then susceptible to that hacker who's getting into that system? >> no, not necessarily. i'm not familiar with the
technique you're talking about. i think that might have been a process that they used in the past. >> okay, got you. >> today they're going to really go for, honestly, they've done a very, very good job at apple locking up icloud and making it very difficult for someone to break in. this, though, underscores the fact that no matter where your information is, it's not safe. >> got you. >> and no matter what, you've got to protect it. >> okay, and i interrupted you on your tips here. what are some of the other tips here? >> all right, you've got to see, what do you have stored? you may not have nude photography, but you might have financial information. >> sure. >> you might have stock certificates. i've scanned those. but i store them locally at home. i will not put them on an icloud device. not because i think it's going to be broken into, but it could. but because i'm just clumsy and foolish and i'll leave my ipad somewhere unlocked, which is another tip. lock your devices. if they don't automatically lock now, they need to lock in the future. now, if, indeed, this was icloud, let me just give you the basic 101 of how that works.
like, how would a celebrity's nude photographs be able to be in the hands of somebody else? >> sure. >> icloud is a cloud-based serving system. so, it's a bunch of computers stored somewhere else with your name on a particular part of them, and that belongs to you. that's where all your information is backed up, photographs of these celebrities are backing up there as well. and when you have that photograph, say in your ipad, it shares it also with your phone and your desktop or your laptop. so, wherever your photos and documents are, it makes it easier so that you don't have to constantly transfer it back and forth. >> there's a lot of these cloud services out there. >> yes. google drive is another very popular one. >> do you think we can trust these things? >> all right, you can trust them about as far as you can throw them, which is, you can't get your hands on these kinds of things. >> sure. >> virtual servers are giant farms somewhere else. no matter what, know that whenever you put something on
your phone or you take a nude photograph, the chances are, it's not protected. >> scary. kurt knutsson, thank you very much. great information. scary times. all right, remember when al gore said the melting polar ice caps would flood the world? not so much. the real inconvenient truth catching up with him. then, illegal immigrants storming a california beach in broad daylight and what happens next is shocking. an eyewitness who watched it all unfold is here next. ♪ coming to your city ♪ gonna play our guitars and sing you a country song ♪ ♪for a snack that isn't lame ♪but this... ♪takes my breath away every time you take advil you're taking the medicine doctors recommend most for joint pain. more than the medicine in aleve or tylenol.

the footage is shocking. mist rye boat and 20 illegal
aliens storming a san diego beach in broad daylight. >> this didn't just happen once. it happened again the very next day. an eyewitness who watched it all unfold joins us now. thanks for being with us. >> thank you. >> you were visiting from phoenix. you're in san diego and cooking breakfast for your daughter. look out the window and what do you see? >> i saw a red boat. it looked odd to me going parallel to the shore. out of nowhere, it made a bee line at the con did he and beached itself. >> so what do you do next? >> i grabbed my phone, obviously and ran to the window and two heads turned into four and turned into 20 and they jumped out of the boat and started running up the beach and all i could do was keep snapping away. >> in your wildest dreams, do you think they're illegal immigrants coming across in broad daylight? are you worried about your safety? do you think it's terrorists? what's going through your mind?
>> i think i was in shock. i knew something was definitely not right when they started running. the way they were dressed and the way they left the boat behind. i wasn't sure if i should go wake up my uncle and my husband and ask them to do something about it. i didn't know what to do. >> when you saw all these illegal aliens and scatter, what were the people on the beach doing? were they trying to help them piece? were they running away? was anybody contacting the authorities? >> i didn't see many people on the beach, but i did see a construction crew and i did notice he was on the telephone. the other ones were just standing there pointing, too, in shock. it was in daylight. >> the reports that we're getting is that seven of them were apprehended, but that left everybody else at large. who knows where they are and who knows what happened to the seven that were apprehended. were they caught and released? still in custody? but then what's really wild is that it happened again the next
day. do you think that these people are just getting so bold that they think hey, the borders are open, let's come on in broad daylight? >> i don't know what they're thinking, but it was pretty bold that it happened in daylight. it happened that far up the california beach in mission beach. they did kind of walk, some of them, like they were confident that it was okay what they were doing. >> fortunately, border patrol was waiting for them and there were 20 illegal aliens at that point and those were apprehended. >> they looked pretty brazen, in broad daylight. did you have a preconceived notion about this illegal immigration controversy going in? has this changed your opinion of the immigration crisis in the country after what you saw? >> i definitely feel like we might want to adjust our resources, give them more manpower and the ability to protect our borders and our beaches a little bit more. >> there are reports that the president is going to delay immigration reform until after midterm elections for political
reasons. what do you think about that? >> i think we probably need to adjust our situation right now and take a deeper look at it. >> thank you. i'm glad you're okay and keep snapping those photos when you see something. really appreciate it. >> thank you. >> coming up, alec baldwin flying into a fit of rage. and wait until you hear what set him off this time. remember when al gore said melting polar ice caps would flood the world? turns out not so much. this morning the real truth about the inconvenient truth and it's all catching up to him. ♪ ♪ for over a decade,

hey, everybody. good morning. today is monday, the 1st of september. labor day. i'm anna kooiman in for elisabeth hasselbeck. they're jihaddists gone wild. can you believe this? islamic militants storming a pool party after taking over a u.s. compound in libya. here he goes again. alec baldwin flies off the handle. and wait 'til you hear what set him off this time. and overnight, some of hollywood's hottest stars exposed. nude photos leaked by hackers who allegedly broke into apple's icloud. is your data vulnerable? you better believe it. mornings are better with friends. >> it's "fox & friends". not only is it labor day, it's september 1. that's the thing that's freaking me out about what today is. >> summer is over.
is it official? >> summer is over, yes. >> but you actually say we'll check in with maria with this. but summer is on the way. >> it will be a really hot week. really the hottest of the summer. so summer didn't happen. here it is. >> it's jihaddists gone wild. islamic militants throw ago pool party. how did this even happen? peter doocy joins us live from washington with the answer. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. normally when you see people jumping off a roof and into a pool on youtube, you expect the amateur dare devils to be harmless young teen-agers. but that is not the case in this video because the men are jihaddists with a group called dawn of libya, a i militia group that moved in there one week ago. the building you see them swan diving off of as others cheer them on is a c.i.a. residential
annex in trip apply abandoned earlier, which means nobody was captured or injured, which turned into a big pool party. right now the state department says we believe the compound itself remains secure, but we continue to monitor the situation on the ground which remains very fluid. the primary reason the united states temporarily relocated our personnel and operations from tripoli was the ongoing fighting between the militias fighting very close to our compound. u.s. ambassador to libya has tweeted this now, to my knowledge and per recent photo, the u.s. embassy tripoli compound is being safeguard and has not been ransacked. right now we still don't know exactly who the u.s. government hired to guard these specific buildings in libya after all the americans left. but it doesn't look like those guards did a very good job. back to you. >> all right. peter doocy live in washington,
d.c., thanks for that. it's unbelievable to see those pictures. >> it's embarrassing as american. >> it is. so just a couple days after british prime minister raised their terror threat in the u.k., today he's making his plan to announce his efforts to combat that terror threat which is great, that he's on the ball here. we have not seen the exact same thing happening obviously from president obama. but some of the democrats are saying that that's all right. so we've heard from one of the top democrats on the house intelligence committee saying that we don't really have enough intelligence. listen to what one democrat had to say. >> i knew the president was criticized saying we don't have a plan. you don't just come in and bomb unless you know where you are, who you're going to get. you don't want collateral damage killing other people. when the time is right, we will do what we have to do. you don't just rush in because the media is talking about it. you don't rush in because other countries aren't going to tell us what to do.
>> it's really sad that they had to have poor dutch go out there and take the heat on this one. obviously a huge guy for the president to admit we don't have a strategy. there has been warnings about the crisis on the border, didn't do anything about that. there were warning signs about the v.a. scandal. didn't really do much about that. and you have the russian invasion of crimea, he issued a warning and now they're deep into ukraine. so it looks like there is military options on the table. that's what the military's job is. the president just hasn't pulled the trigger on anything. >> this has been growing for a few years now. if you remember in january when the president called isis jv, we heard from diane feinstein, another democrat, who says no, isis actual israeli a major jv team. this president is cautious on foreign policy and in this case, certainly too cautious. there is a republican, representative adam kinzinger from illinois, an iraq war veteran, air force pilot, served
on the foreign affairs committee, said perception is everything and the president needs to sound strong. >> that's the battle in this is public perception and not just public per session of the american public, but our enemies. if the president said we're going to take our time to find out where the targets are, but isis should understand they're not going to survive, period, they would quake in their boots because they're no match for the fierce united states military. >> i don't think isis is quaking in their boots when the is the says there is no strategy and then the president says this is just a humanitarian mission. could you imagine if during the bush administration an american was beheaded and the president of the united states says we don't have a strategy? he would have been crucified. but this goes back to what we were talking about before when you show weakness and when you make empty threats about a red line and things like that, there is going to be consequences and then you don't follow through and it emboldens the enemies. it emboldens china, isis, putin. this is what we're seeing as a consequence of this.
>> i think it's great to have a measured and thoughtful response. if that was the case, i could appreciate that. but to say there is no strategy, but the pentagon saying there is plenty of strategies, nobody is making any kind of decision on what to do with that. >> mike rogers, also from the intelligence committee, says the president is doing this on purpose. he do not want to be engaged. we heard others say he would rather push the problem to somebody else and hope that somebody else handles it. there is going to be that nato summit going on thursday and friday in wales and hopefully a coalition of some sort is formed not just to deal with isis, but also to figure out what to do about putin taking over all this territory in ukraine. >> it's time for a look at our headlines. we'll send it over to ainsley. >> thank you so much. good to see all of you. i'm filling in for heather. happy labor day to you. two teen-agers plunged 30 feet from a carnival ride. it happened at a church bazaar in el paso, texas. both teen-agers are hurt.
one critically. a third person had to be rescued from that ride. fire crews believe it malfunctioned, but witnesses say at least one person who fell was not wearing a seatbelt. five people are dead after their small plane crashes into a field north of denver, barely missing nearby house. witnesses say they they heard the plane sputtering moments before it crashed. no word on what went wrong. a bittersweet return to racing for tony stewart. fans were thrilled to see him three weeks after that dirt track tragedy in new york. look at that. a standing o for number 14. a touching reaction for stewart, but the race was cut short for him. he was forced out of the race after slamming into a wall, damaging the suspension and a tire. next week's race in virginia is a must win if he wants to participate in the chase for the sprint cup.
a mad dash for money, armored truck crashing on a rhode island highway dumping bags of dough all over the road. people swarming that scene, it's still unclear if anyone walked away with any money. those are your headlines. >> what to you think? >> i'm sure there are lots of good samaritans there. >> do you remember two years ago that guy robbed a bank and was throwing money out of the car? people were running for it and no one returned the money. >> thanks, ainsley. have you seen the latest antics from alec baldwin? he's spending his labor day in the hampton, something that many of us can't imagine getting the opportunity to do. but wheel he's on a playground, he gets into a bit of altercation with the media. >> pictures wanting to take pictures of this guy, maybe to illicit a response like this because go crazy. one of those, the paparrazzi was there taking a picture, he grabbed his shirt, told him to
stop. and then obviously the cops are called. >> you make a lot of money when you go and get attacked by alec bald in. he probably got this picture and sold it to tmz. the thing is, can you imagine if he was a republican and this guy was just assaulting reporters and members of the media left and right? he'd be killed? but everybody laughs it off because he's this nice democrats and donates all this money to charities. it's a total hypocrisy. >> if he was a republican, he probably wouldn't be getting any work in the first place. >> probably true. >> i think he'll have a hard time with career, unless he just keeps it calm for a number of years. he's kind of lucky because he had fallen out of favor for a long time. he hadn't had a huge hit in a long time of the a lot of celebrityies when you -- they end up at the macy's parade, and a lot of the older actors are so gracious and kind because they've had a long career, which alec has had.
you would think he had more gratitude. >> when the paparrazzi bother me on vacation, i let them take photos. >> there is a small part of me that feels bad for him. he can't dependent away from the media. they follow him around everywhere. and it is like poking a bear. >> poor alec baldwin. >> you know, that's the price you pay for a $10 million paycheck. >> exactly. >> we showed you this ridiculous video. terrorists throwing a pool party after taking over a u.s. compound in libya. up next, why these partiers pose a more dangerous threat than you might think. and a brawl on the gridiron, but this goes way beyond a heated competition. police are involved. ♪ ♪ who's more excited about back to school savings at staples?

should the united states be concerned another group just like isis could be growing in the middle east? lieutenant colonel tony schaefer, author of "the last line," joins us now. good morning. thanks for being with us. >> good morning. thank you. >> is this them taunting us? this video seems like more something from high school or college spring break. it's jihad had -- jihadis gone wild. >> that's the issue, they have gone wild. this is the best possible face on something very bad going on. these folks are moving out smartly. they're going into all the ungoverned spaces that we helped create and as they go, they actually go about doing things to undermine any governance that's there, which in turn then -- we talked about isis and the extremism in syria and iraq, these folks have the same methodology, same basic ideology, and wherever they go, you will see bad things happen. again, this may look funny, but it really isn't in the long run. >> it's absolutely not. this is so wild, the state department has given us this
statement. contrast that to the video. at this point we believe the embassy compound itself remains secure, but we continue to monitor the situation on the ground which remains very fluid. have they not seen the same video we're showing right now? >> if that's true, i've got some swampland in florida i want to sell you that's really good for development. the state department is completely out to lunch on this. so is the white house. there is this policy of wishful thinking. they all wish this will go away. that's why you don't have an adequate strategy to deal with this as a regional issue. you saw dutch talking about no intelligence. that's a choice. we have the best intelligence system in the world and they've made the choice to not collect because they don't want to have to deal with this. >> so who are these groups and are there any moderates when it comes to terrorists? >> you've got al-shariah that did the take down of the government in -- the consulate in libya back several years ago. you've got the al nusra fronts,
the quote, unquote, moderate element in syria, which we're supposed to be dealing with, who just took prisoner a bunch of u.n. peacekeepers. you have organizations like one of the organization i faced early in the war on terror that used to be called the southwest group of preaching and calm and combat. we defeated them in combat, but because of these ungoverned spaces, because we reopen the door for this, they have come back. when you set your guard down -- i'm not saying we have to be the boots on the ground. we have to work with our ally, you will see these folks come back. and the long run, they'll all come together and do what they want regarding their radical version of islam. >> the united states can't act alone. of course we need some sort of coalition. but what do you think these arab nations need to be doing? >> well, one of the things we've recommended short-term is we partnered with elements that will help push isis and these folks back. the egyptians right now are in libya trying to defeat the folks
there, the folks we've been fighting all this time and we need to look at a long-term solution, nato, if you will. the egyptian, saudi military, the jordanian, we've all trained. they can be the boots on the ground to do what's necessary to bring stability. stability is the key to any sort of democracy. any sort of economic promise. we don't have that, there will be no end of this terrorism. >> yeah. they'll continue taunting us and do worse than throw pool parties. thank you so much. >> thanks. coming up, it's no secret illegal immigrants are flooding our border. but can terrorists do the same? how real is the threat? a former border patrol leader joins us ahead. and didn't al gore say the melting polar ice caps would flood the world? this morning the inconvenient truth catching up with him.

how therapeutic and wholistic it is to take some wounded warriors struggling with world problems and go see bears up close, bears that are in a stream just ten feet in front of you catching fish. it allows the time to step away from your lives, to get out of the military hospital, to get out of the v.a. and find what matters in life. that's what was so unique about this special. greta and i were lucky to be just journalists witnessing this and to be involved. this is greta's second time to go up there. she asked me this year. she said hey, you want to go up there on the fourth of july? bring a camera. we'll shoot it. i said you bet you. it's quite a remarkable thing, guys. >> since 9-11, almost 50,000 wound warriors have returned home and like you were saying, they don't just come home and everything is the same. they have a dependency on someone else they never had, the world is upside down. but their spouse, either their husband or wife, that takes a long time to heal. what was it like being close to

a swipe of your phone rather than carrying around your different credit cards. is so sensitive information is leaked, how is everything else not going to? >> it's also rumored to get a deleted photo back. so think about you think i'm delete ago photo, now it's gone. but now if there is a way to get it back, clearly that photo wasn't completely gone. so that makes it more scary. clouds, speaking of clouds, clouds that i understand a little bit better and someone is here with us, brand-new video into "fox & friends," the aftermath of a tornado that tore through worcester, massachusetts. 85 mile-per-hour winds, toppling trees and cars. this happened last night after it was dark. maria molina is here tracking these storms for us for labor day. >> hi. good morning. that's right. that tornado stood on the ground for almost two hours in massachusetts. today we have the risk for more severe weather stretching from portions of the plains including parts of kansas, parts of oklahoma, up into portions of the great lakes and the concern
out there today is going to be some damaging winds. i think that's the biggest concern. there is still that risk for isolated tornadoes and also some large hail with some of these storms. that's going to be something to watch. we have a line of storms early this morning pushing through portion of missouri. now switching gears into the tropics, we are heading to the peak of the atlantic hurricane center. we're almost there now. you can see the national hurricane center is tracking an area of showers and storms out there across parts of the southern belt of mexico, across the yucatan peninsula. 60% chance of this system developing into a tropical depression or the next named storm system. 70% chance over the next five days. clearly they think there is some possibility of development out here across this region. we'll keep an eye on that. otherwise temperature wise, it will be a hot one today across parts of the south. take a look at parts of texas. 99 for your high in dallas. you factor in the humidity out there, and it's going to feel hotter than that. it will feel like 104 in the city of dallas and 98 in tampa.

her long-term prognosis would be. just a day before she had that very routine procedure, she was out to dinner with friends, she was joking about this, saying it's nothing. it's just a simple little procedure. let's hope that she is able to pull through this situation that she's going through right now and really have the last laugh. that's the latest from live outside mount sinai. back to you. >> thank you so much for your time today. the white house already caught offguard by isis in the middle east, could it happen again here at home? >> the cause of the condition of the border from the standpoint of it not being secure and us not knowing who is penetrating across, that individuals from isis or other terrorist states could be and i think is a very real possibility that they may

one has to do is look just south of our border to see the cartels as dangerous and compared to past years where we thought law enforcement community that they had some screwles or lines they would not cross, this new generation of cartel leadership has no limit and would they facilitate the entry of terrorists into this country? absolutely. i think we need to be watching this coming 9-11. >> the president has not been to the border recently when he was asked to go down there. he's cut funding for the border patrol. he eliminated building the border fence. you were just down there. how is morale down there? do you even think the president believes in borders? >> actually i will be going back to the border after this show this morning. that's how focused i am right now on what is going on in the state of the border.
last week i was in el paso, texas, the day after a high number of border patrol employees were served letters by this administration informing them that they will be reduced in pay by as much as 20%. >> wow. >> which means they'll be reduced in hours of work, which means fewer agents on the border. morale is at an all-time low in the 35 years that i have been doing this kind of work. >> in terms of the solution right now, if we had a president that did want to fortify the border, during the bush administration we had a hot spot in arizona, they addressed the situation. they flooded the zone. we had reduction of illegal crossings from about 2700 to just six. what lessons could we learn from that to apply to today? >> yes. i was chief in houma sector when president bush visited houma a first ever for that community twice, once in 2006 and a follow-up to see the progress
made in 2007. significantly the example you used, smugglers at will, they're choosing a location of their choice would load up vehicles, whether it was ten illegal aliens or 1,000 pounds of narcotics, we didn't know. we recorded 2706 known drive-throughs. a year later with the tactical infrastructure fence, we reduced that to six and we caught all of them. we reduced cross border illicit trafficking and crime by 95%. it can be done. but i think right now we have some leadership all the way up to the white house that don't even know the border patrol and have never been down there and actually one wonders whose side they're on. >> wow. stunning. please keep us posted. thank you very much. >> my pleasure. coming up, a new laptop sounds like a pricey end of the summer splurge.

islamic militants throwing a pool party after taking over a united states compound in libya. ed henry is here live from the white house.
good morning, everybody. thanks for being with us today. it's monday, the 1st of september, it's labor day. i'm anna kooiman in for elisabeth hasselbeck. they are jihaddists gone wild. unreal. islamic militants throwing a pool party after taking over a united states compound in libya. is this another example of a foreign policy failure? ed henry weighs in straight ahead. and there he goes again. alec baldwin flying into a fit of rage. what in the world set him off this time? your e-mails are pouring in. some of hollywood's hottest
stars exposed literally. hackers claim they cracked apple's icloud and leaked celebrity's personal photos. is your data vulnerable, too? you better believe it. mornings are better with friends. >> you're watching "fox & friends." that's a great way to begin your day. >> yes, it is. we are all fill-ins this morning. >> that's right. i am so happy to have a job on labor day. >> yes. >> i'm happy i have a job. it's about labor day and being able to work. >> we're working hard this morning. >> that's what it was initially about in the 1800s. i think it's more about the unofficial end of summer. unfortunately, we've got sunshine on the way for the rest of the country. >> summer is still here. >> that's right. let's hit the beach. >> this morning we have the pleasure of bringing in ed henry from washington, d.c. to talk about the hot topics this morning. great to be with you. thank you for joining us. >> great to be with you. >> what did you make of this wild pool party that jihaddists threw at a united states
compound that they overtook? this looks more like something from spring break from colleges and high schools. >> it certainly does. i don't want to make too much of it and make too much light of it because you're right. this is pretty goofy, but meanwhile, this is a very serious security situation on the ground throughout libya and frankly throughout the middle east as well right now with jihaddists running wild. not just going wild. this is a very tense time right now all around the world. what fascinated me was the reaction from the american government and the libyan government as well. the american government, state department basically said, look, we think things are still pretty secure. everyone kind of calmed down. doesn't look that secure. thankfully this doesn't look like they were smashing things or that anyone was harmed. remember, our u.s. personnel had been taken out by president obama several weeks ago fearful of a desperate security situation like benghazi, number one. number two, libyan government said everybody calm down. these guys that are there, these jihadis are helping to protect
the compound. so these are the guys -- i'm not sure they're supposed to reassure us. these are the guys who are supposed to be protecting things. meanwhile, they're sort of running wild. it's a very bizarre situation on the ground in libya right now. >> also bizarre, the statement you alluded to from the state department, this is exactly what it says. at this point, we believe the embassy compound itself remains secure, but we continue to monitor the situation on the ground which remains very fluid. it certainly doesn't look very secure there. some said this group of terrorists isn't as barbaric as isis. is there such a thing as a moderate terrorist? what has to be. setting alarm bells off at the white house right now is the fact that beyond the republican criticism the president has been getting for appearing to be slow in reacting to isis is you have a top democrat, diane feinstein, senior member of the intelligence committee there, the actual chair of the committee, saying on "meet the press" yesterday that she thinks the president has been too cautious, saying in general the context is he's had a very
cautious foreign policy. she thinks sometimes that can be good instead of just jumping into things. but in this case, she said, she's concerned that the president's got to get going with this strategy that he referred to at the news conference last week that he doesn't have yet. >> exactly. speaking of strategy, there is a strategy coming out of the u.k. and today the british prime minister is laying out his counterterrorism plan. so is president obama's no plan strategy a signal to the rest of the world, especially isis and our enemies, that the white house has kind of withdrawn from the war on terror? >> reporter: certainly our key ally in david cameron is not doing president obama any favors by doing this very specific speech today that's coming up in just a couple of hours, laying out what his plan is. and on friday, having this news conference where he appeared to be very on top of the situation, talking not just about this specific situation with isis, but saying more broadly, radical islam is a problem and the brits are not going to sit back and wait. for that to happen 24 hours after the president's news
conference here in washington where he said he didn't have a strategy yet to deal with isis militarily inside syria was an awful contrast for the president. think about it, i'm heading to europe tomorrow because the president is going to estonia and then to wales where he'll see david cameron at the nato summit. they were supposed to be talking mostly about afghanistan, but you can bet now russia and ukraine as well as isis and spreading throughout the middle east will be a big issue at the summit and david cameron has shown a contrast to the president. >> it looks like the white house is still reeling from the president saying we don't have a strategy to defeat these guys. let's listen to what mike rogers, republican, had to say on the sunday show about that. >> we're spending a lot of time talking about things that we won't do. that's the problem. the president wants to tell you what he won't do and having a hard time putting a coalition together to tell them what they will do. you're not going to humanitarian aid isis out of iraq and syria. it's going to take more than that. there have been plans on the table. the president just did not want to get engaged in any way.
that is a decision. that is a policy. that is a strategy and it's not working. >> ed, the president was at a fund-raiser the other day and he was saying, you know with a? if you watch the nightly news, you think everything is falling apart. and he said the world has always been messy, but now you hear about it more because of things like facebook and twitter. that's world class spin right there. what are you reading to that that? >> remember who his audience was, it was hard core democratic donors. these are his fans who were at the fund-raiser in new york and rhode island of the he's probably hearing from them what in the world is going on? he's trying to calm them down because they've got these big midterms coming up. he needs to raise his campaign cash despite these crises because he's got to hold on to control of the senate. that's very much up for grabs now. it's interesting spin to say look, the world has always been messy, but the president told these donors behind closed doors, it's because of social
media we're hearing about it more. that seems bizarre. chuck hagel a couple weeks ago said the world is burning, the world is on fire right now. and that isis, this is like nothing we've ever seen. worse than al-qaeda pre9-11. it's odd for the president, he seems a little out of step with some of his own cabinet. >> also out of step, i was reading something like 32 grand or something per grand. >> fundraising is one thing which he's doing, but campaigning is another thing and there is a lot of democrats who don't want him going anywhere near their campaigns. with the mid terms right around the corner, are there more problems for president obama with the democrats? these battle ground states issues have kind of made a no fly zone for president obama. >> yeah. i think that's a phrase that's in politico this morning, that some of these states, i think this has always been expected to be a problem for the president. these key senate races that will decide control of not just the senate, but control the president's agenda for his final two years are in battle ground states where the president just
frankly is not very popular. the south is one of the worst areas for him. it's the area that he couldn't win in 2008, 2012. so for those senate battle grounds to be in states where he's not very popular is difficult for him and you're probably going to see a lot of these democrats saying thanks but no thanks, mr. president. we've known that for a while. >> i want to talk to you, is the relationship between the pentagon and the white house as icy as it seems? we've seen a totally different tone from the two. >> i'm glad you raised that because one of the things that didn't get as much attention at that news conference last thursday, i was sitting in the front row, the president beyond the no strategy comment also said look, the reason why we don't have this strategy to deal with isis in syria now is we're still waiting on the pentagon. josh earnest repeated that on friday in his daily briefing. i've talked to some senior military analysts and folks at the pentagon who say they've had plans for a long time. they're waiting for the president to make his decision. and they're not necessarily criticizing him. they're saying he's got to
deliberate. he's got to go through this. but to suggest they don't have plans yet is not entirely accurate. so again, it does seem like if you look at some of the public statements by his own defense secretary, as well as general martin dempsey, who a couple weeks ago said you can't defeat isis. he said this publicly. it's not any secret. at a news conference, he said to defeat isis, you have to go in to syria. so for the president then a couple weeks later at a news conference saying we still don't have a plan to deal with isis in syria is a serious disconnect. >> from the tone of general dempsey and also from chuck hagel, it seems like military action was about to happen. >> they seemed to be hipting at it. i think that was the other things that got lost in the president's news conference because of that statement about news strategy is what he wanted to do was put some brakes frankly maybe on his own national security team and say -- they keep saying the media is pushing us towards war. no. his own national security team, general dempsey and others, were
suggesting we were pretty close to it. >> ed, thank you very much. ed will be on "special report" tonight. we will be watching. >> thanks. now some headlines. >> thank you. labor day weekend plans end in horror when two teen-agers plunge 30 feet from a carnival ride. this happened at a church bazaar in el paso, texas. both of the teen-agers were hurt. one of them critically. a third person had to be rescued from the ride. fire crews believe it malfunctioned. witnesses say at least one of those people who fell was not wearing a seatbelt. five people are dead after their small plane crashes into a field north of denver, barely missing nearby houses. witnesses say that they heard the low flying plane sputtering just moments before it crashed. no word yet on what went wrong. a bittersweet return to racing for tony stewart. fans were thrilled to see him three weeks after that dirt track tragedy in new york.
a standing ovation for number 14, but the race was cut short. he was forced out after slamming into the wall. damaging the suspension and a tire. in virginia, it's a must win for him if he wants to participate in the chase for the sprint cup. alec baldwin caught on camera flying into a fit of rage in the hamptons. he went after a photographer who was snapping some pictures of his wife and baby. witnesses say that baldwin grabbed the guy's shirt, grabbed him and tried to put him in a head lock. you can see the cop trying to calm him down. the photographer decided not to press charges. this is not the first time baldwin has had a violent temper tantrum. last year he got in the face of that fox reporter and she was trying to interview his wife. he was screaming, calling her all sorts of names. those are your headlines. what a gentleman that guy
is. >> it gives us something to talk about. >> that's right. all the things we covered today, everybody is e-mailing us about alec baldwin. we have one from dolly in south carolina, i'm still waiting on alec baldwin to pack up and leave america as he stated he would do when george w. bush was elected. that's right. listen, if you're a man of your word, let's go. let's buy a ticket. >> here is what's coming up on "fox & friends." what is making hundreds of americans turn on their families and their country to fight for terrorists? we'll ask a muslim leader here in america whose own nephew went radical next. this woman accused of killing her own daughter, but she still gets the child's trust fund even if she's convicted? how does that work? ♪ ♪

remember them? two high school buddies turned terrorists. they both left america to fight for isis and they both died for their cause. and they're not alone. more than two dozen young men from minnesota have followed the
same path. thanks in part to videos like this. >> you guys only knew how much fun we have over here. this is a real disneyland. >> that recruitment pitch came from a minnesota man killed in 2009. it's just one of many videos that peaceful muslims in minnesota are trying to stop. among them, somali community leader who joins me now from minneapolis. so minnesota, specifically minneapolis, is a recruiting ground for isis and they're targeting this community because there is a lot of young, impressionable muslims. what propaganda techniques does isis use to recruit these kids? >> well, they take advantage of the conditions of the young people. a lot of people argue the internet and videos and social media. i think that's partially true. but that's not the fact. the fact is that there are

programming, or leadership programming or anything. so we need to -- the recruiters and leaders are here. they are in every other community. not only in minnesota. we need to compete with them for the hearts and minds of the young people, from poverty into employment, into skills training, into programs that guide them and mentor them into positive way of life. >> all right. thank you very much. you're in a very unique position to help combat this home grown radicalism. we really appreciate what you're doing. thank you very much on this labor day. >> thank you for having me. coming up, a brand-new drug claiming to cut heart disease death by nearly 20%. is this too good to be true? we're break down the facts next. and caught on camera, illegal immigrants storming a california beach in broad daylight. eyewitness who took these pictures sharing the shocking

5.1 million people in the united states suffer with heart failure at 24 million people world wide live with the condition. but experts are saying a new drug could change all that. >> dorks say the drug from pharmaceutical company nevartis is the biggest potential advance against heart failure in more than a decade and studies show it lowers the chance of death and hospitalization. >> what does it mean for the medical community and is it right for you if you have symptoms of heart failure? joining us is a physician at nyu medical center. thanks for being with us. >> thanks for having me. >> because this could potentially be on the market by next year even, how does it work? >> first let's do a little background. heart failure is a very, very common situation in for americans. the heart muscle is not pumping as effectively as it should. there are different classes, different degrees of severity and yes, you can still live if
your heart is not pumping as adequately as it should. >> this is you live with chronic heart disease. >> right. reasons for people having chronic heart failure could be previous myocardial infarction, where the heart is not pumping as well. over the last few decades, there have been different medicines designed to enhance or improve the heart's pumping capabilities. what's interesting about this drug and why we're so excited about it, why is it so ground break is that there hasn't been a new f.d.a. approved treatment for heart failure in almost a decade. and what makes this so amazing, this study was an incredibly well designed study. that's very, very important to think about in terms of what are we doing? are we having a large enough patient population and sample population? what this drug has shown to do is to decrease cardiovascular death, decreased the hospitalizations for heart
failure and decrease all cause mortality. what i like is that we're taking what they understand about the physiology of heart failure and what's happening to the heart and they've specifically designed a drug to target those things. >> i also read that people who might be doing with this, it also makes their lives better. they don't have the symptoms in the same way. >> exactly. if you think about statistically, if we're doing this study to see how well it's performing and one thing that's interesting about this drug is that the study actually met all of the primary end points. it's also clinically meaninger for patients. are they more comfortable? able to walk further without shortness of breath and the answer is yes. so not only are they potentially living longer, but the time that they are alive is much more comfortable for them. >> sometimes when new drugs come out, people think whether it's lowering their cholesterol or blood pressure, that means their lifestyle doesn't have to change. is this drug going to be a magic bullet? >> look, the number, while statistically significant, the primary end point is what
percentage of patients died and the number was 20%. so it's not a cure for heart failure. it's basically going to improve the quality of life and improve long-term morbidity. >> this drug doesn't have a name yet. but when can people expect that this would be out in the market here in the u.s.? >> it's now being fast tracked for approval by the end of the year in this country. what that means is that it's going to enable the f.d.a. to sort of not necessarily bypass loophole, but get this approved more quickly for people who are clearly in need for it. again, the study is robust. >> the start of the coming year, doctors could talk to patients about it? >> yes. >> coming up, remember this kid catching heat from his neighbor for running a lemonade stand. the ironic trouble that that neighbor now finds himself in this morning. and a massive attack exposing pictures.

tornadoes much more scary. maria molina certainly knows all about that. you're tracking these storms for us and through your labor day. >> that's right. that storm happened yesterday between 8:10 and 8:14 p.m. eastern time in massachusetts. that's when that tornado touched down. it stayed on the ground for 1.7 miles. today we do have the risk for more severe storms stretching from parts of kansas up into portions of the great lakes and you are going to be look at that risk for more tornadoes, damaging winds and even large hail from some of the storms. the greatest tornado potential is going to be including portions of southwestern missouri, eastern parts of kansas, and also northeastern parts of the state of oklahoma. so that's going to be a big concern out there, especially during those afternoon and also during those evening hours. we do also have an area in the tropics that we are tracking and that storm system does have about a 60% chance of becoming our next named storm out there. tropical depression or a tropical storm over the next 48 hours as of the 8:00 a.m. update from the national hurricane

we're a petition to free andrew tahmoreesi from a mexican prison received more than 134,000 signatures and finally it seems to be capturing the attention of the white house. seems like a victory. but will it finally help to fast track his release? jill tahmoreesi, his mother, is with us now. you just spoke with andrew. how is he doing? >> he's holding on. he's a marine, so he's got a lot of courage and valor. >> jill, 134,000 signatures, wasn't it supposed to be 100,000 signatures from the american people and the white house would address the issue? that happened back in may. what do you think took so long? >> i'm not sure, but what i asked for was the white house to urge or to expiate the due process to influence the due process and that hasn't hopped because the judge presiding over the case had to sanction the customs official in mexico for them to even release the border
surveillance tape. just now the 911 tape is in the judge's hands and the border surveillance. i would hardly say that was an expeditious due process. it's been six months. >> you think about what he's been going through and struggling with and then you hear from the white house and their statement just seems very straight to the point and very bland. i want to read it for you. we will continue to monitor the case and work with the mexican authorities as this case proceeds through the mexican judicial system. we continue to urge the mexican authorities to process the case expeditiously. is this enough? >> i would say that it is not been effective because andrew's case is not being expeditiously processed. there is a high serious urgency with this case. so i would expect things to move along. in fact, we don't even have another court date hearing. so i would say that it has not been effective and it needs to be ramped up. >> what's the latest with the
proceedings? is he going to be there for months, do you think? i remember you mentioning a winter coat. >> well, unfortunately, if there isn't even another court date set on the calendar, i can only presume that we could be approaching winter before there is a decision on this case. the presiding judge has two years to make a decision. >> let's remember the story goes back to that 911 call that your son made saying i'm lost. what can i do and they said son, i'm sorry. you're in mexico, we can't help you. he didn't mean to cross the border with those guns that are legal in the united states, illegal there. and he's being held against his will there. it's so unfortunate. if the president is watching this morning, jill, what do you say to him? >> i would say please, president obama, escalate that level of urgency that you say that you are asking mexico to expedite because one more day is one day

>> i don't know how tmz or any other website gets their information. we are particularly relying on law enforcement. that's the most reliable, the most credible, and we don't seek to get that information from sources that are not credible. >> and that's not all. tonight we are also hearing from both ray rice and his wife, janay. in an at the same time to espn, ray rice saying, i have to be strong for my wife. she is so strong. we in good spirits. we have a lot of people praying for us, and we'll continue to support each other. i have to be there for janay right now and my family right now and work through this. >> and janay writes in part, no one knows the pain that the might yeah and unwanted opinions from the public has caused my family to make us relive a memory in our lives that we aget is a horrible thing.
if your intentions were to hurt us, embarrass us, make us feel alone, take all happiness away, you have succeeded on so many levels. just know that we will continue to grow and show the world what real love is. >> and harvey loven joins us. how many copies of that tape are there? and does the nfl see it? >> well, look, yeah, we know that the police came over to the casino, and they got a copy, and they gave it to the prosecutor, and i, what goodell is saying about the prosecutor, i know is correct, because i've connected to people in that office, and they say there is no way they would give up that video because it was part of the grand jury investigation. >> stop there. >> he pled to a misdemeanor, right? i'm a lawyer, you're a lawyer? >> he was indicted for a felony. the grand jury indicted him for
a felony. >> so there's a grand jury convened that has the video as evidence. >> that's the police department. here's the problem that i've had from the beginning of this. the casino had a copy of this videotape, has the original, actually, and, i'm told ray rice's attorney has a copy because he was involved in a criminal case. as for the casino, when goodell is saying we wanted to get from a credible source, why on earth does he not think that the casino video, why does he suggest that the casino isn't as credible as the police? the police got it from the casino, so why didn't goodell go to the casino, or his people, and say, hey, we'd like to see the video. we are told by people who work at the casino that they never did that. we are also told by people at the casino that had they done that, they would have shown it to them. so i don't understand what he's
saying. >> i don't understand, why do you even need the second video? the first video has him dragging an unconscious woman out of the elevator. secondly, i assume there's a moral clause in a football player's contract. i'm not so sure that he couldn't have gotten it from the lawyer, couldn't have persuaded ray rice to get it from his lawyer and turn it over. i don't know why he needs the second video. >> as to that, i think that goodell had a lot of leverage over rice at the time, because he could have said, look, based on what you just said, that first video was so damning. we're going to suspend him indefinitely unless we see the video. so he had leverage from the lawyer. just dragging her out of the elevator should have been enough and that's all she wrote, i mean, rice and janay went to goodell's office together, said
it was mutual combat. it's what they told the police. now the police dropped the charge against her as soon as they saw the video. so that should have been a clue to goodell that all of a sudden the charge against her is dropped, and now he's facing a felony. it should give him some clue, hey, i've got to see that video. but they didn't do it. he's an aggressive guy, greta. i know that goodell has micro managed some of thinks disciplinary cases. he is there. he is on it. he does this all the time. why not take the basic steps here and go the origin place. he's doing somersaults to explain why he didn't go to the casino. >> is there any tape out there -- i read someplace that there's no tape out there so i figure you'll have it soon -- that there's one with some audio on it. do you have any information about that at all?
>> i have heard that there was maybe some audiotape perhaps captured on a cell phone which in some way, where you hear part of the argument. i have not seen that yet. i've heard it exists >> if it exists, i know where we'll see it in the next 24 hours, good chance it will be on tmz.com. ray rice got a diversion which is usually reserved for misdemeanors, how do you go from a felony to a diversion? >> i can explain it and point out a problem. what happened was, rice was charged -- they don't call it a misdemeanor. they dropped the charge and said we're going to send this to the grand jury instead. we told the grand jury saw the video, and then they indicted him for a felony, basically felony domestic violence. at that point, he is eligible for what amounts to a diversion.
and you're eligible based on whether you're a first-time offender and several other factors >> from a felony? from a felony? >> he's eligible. his lawyer did what any good lawyer would do and applied for the diversion. we are told the prosecutors did not object to the diversion based op ex tenuating circumstances, namely the video. i am told by people who have worked in that office that they find that very curious, why wouldn't the prosecutor, given the severity of this, say, look, even though most people would qualify for a diversion, this case is different because it's more violent. they didn't do that. and to me, that's the issue. >> harvey, thank you, and i'll keep checking because i'm sure that audio's going to end up on your website soon. thank you, harvey. >> okay, greta. >> and the nfl says it is not
their fault. a spokesperson for the new jersey attorney general says it would have been illegal to give the video to an outside entity. why is the nfl silent on the issue? joining us are our guests. ted? >> when it comes to the grand jury, the grand jury could not give that information out, because it's called -- >> but the casino could have. >> but that's the key to the whole thing. >> and you don't even need the second video. the first video is damning enough. >> you ever hear the word, i see no evil, i hear no evil. i hear nothing i see nothing. that's where the nfl and baltimore ravens want to be right now. >> and the prosecutor. >> and the prosecutor. >> katie, as a former prosecutor, is this the type of case you would give diversion for, meaning that the person
doesn't have a conviction, sort of goes off to the side, and if the person behaves and does something else for a while, the case goes away, and you don't do any jail time. is this the type of case you would have given diversion for? >> no. the bottom line answer is no. even with victim approval i would not have given pre-trial intervention, in light of the severity of the activities. he basically cold cocked her. remember in this event, the nfl could have gone to the hotel to get this footage, the hotel only released the footage to law enforcement and ray rice's attorney obtained it. >> knowing you have leverage over ray rice, could you have said, we've seen video number one, we know there's video number two. you have a moral clause in your contract, you might want to produce video number two. >> i'm not sure.
not being privy to the contract, i'm not sure. there's probably a moral clause. but whether ray rice's attorney would be willing to turn over something -- >> ray rice , not his attorney. but if my client came to me and said, look, i'm going to lose my job for sure if i don't turn it over, then the client can have the tape and turn it over. >> there is a big smoke screen here. everybody is talking about video number two, where he knocks the woman out, look. you had video number one where he dragged the woman out of the elevator. what else do you need! come on. let's be realistic here. >> i agree. what else do you need but video number one? >> that's all you needed. so for prosecutors, for the baltimore ravens, for the nfl to say we couldn't get this, we couldn't get that, listen clearly what goodell is saying, well, we couldn't get it from the police, but you could have
gotten it from the casino. he didn't do that. he's parsing his words. it's an embarrassment to the nfl. >> i disagree. i disagree. i don't think it's that easy to go get it from the hotel, remember the solange knowles tape. >> do you need that second video, katie? to make your judgment on this, had you been goodell, do you really need to see more than an unconscious woman being dragged out of an elevator. maybe you need more, but do you think you need more? did you need that other video? >> did goodell need more? i guess he did. i'm not sure exactly why she's unconscious. a rational person could conclude that something happened by him because nobody else is coming out of the elevator, but at the end of the day, this video was not as readily accessible to the nfl. >> i have to disagree.
now, granted, the police department could have gotten the video, but the casino, if the nfl would have asked, could have turned that video over to the nfl, if the nfl asked. and we don't know if they asked. that may be the problem. >> could i just say the irony of katie the prosecutor and ted the defense attorney, completely, and even i'm out there, katie, ted, thank you as well. this is a fox news alert. right now a judge in mexico is hearing andrew tahmooressi's case. he has been held in a mexican prison since march 31. and today everyday focusing on video from the check point where tahmooressi was arrested. for the very latest, we are live in tijuana, william? >> reporter: well, greta, moments ago, the defense attorneys and prosecutors returned to court after watching
relevant portions of that surveillance videotape when tahmooressi entered mexico with the three weapons in his truck. tahmooressi was not in court today because this was an evidentiary hearing, no testimony, and he was not asked to attend. jill tahmooressi, his mother, did arrive. she was escorted by personnel from the u.s. consulate. she is in the courthouse right now. we don't know if she is in the courtroom. as it stands now, the judge has two versions of what happened, the innocent tahmooressi making a wrong turn. the government says he lied about being here and they discovered those weapons in his truck. at this point, that video should also show how many hours he was detained by mexican customs here and that that was a violation of his rights. probably nothing conclusive on those tapes, no audio and the shots were very wide. >> and just moments before sergeant tahmooressi's defense
lawyer went into court, he went on the record. nice to talk to you, sir. >> caller: how are you? >> very well. i understand you're about to go back to court. were you in for a daytime courtroom? have you had some court already today? >> caller: yes, we have. we went in, we actually have two separate events this morning at 10:40 in the morning. our forensic psychiatrist was sworn in and at 11:05 we started with the hearing and the disks that were delivered by mexican customs left us with 49 files, some of it, some of the files as much as eight hours in length. >> okay. your client, i understand, was not in the courtroom. his mother is there. >> caller: that's right. >> she expected him to be there. why wasn't he in the courtroom?
>> caller: well, since he was not intervened in the viewing of the footage and the monitors and everything else is not in the area where we could hold him and it could go on for several hours, it was decided that it did not make any sense for him to endure -- you must understand that we have 36 degree heat down here right now, a lot of humidity and the place where i would be held has no air conditioning. >> in order for that to happen here in the united states, the defendant would have to come before the judge. the judge would say, do you now you have a right to be here, and you're waiving your right to be here. is there any indication that he was part of the decision to not be there today so he could see what was going on, so he could see the tapes against him? >> caller: well, of course, we can ask for him to be present, but i decided it would be easier if we went through this faster rather than slower, and the constraints of having him
present, i believe, they weren't warranted in this particular case, especially, for example, if he were to be held right now for hours without not being in the hearing, just in the holding cell, i thought it would be inconvenient, so it was my call. >> what about his mother, though? his mother came all the way from florida to see the hearing. >> caller: well, she will participate in the court hearing. it's a public hearing. >> but she's not going to see her son. >> caller: that's the only unfortunate disadvantage that's going to take place today, but she will get a chance to view the video alongside us. >> has the psychiatrist actually testified or has he just been sworn in as a witness? >> caller: no, he's been sworn in, and he can start discharging his duties as early as tomorrow. >> has he actually interviewed sergeant tahmooressi? spent time with him? >> caller: in fact, greta, now that you mention it, this
psychiatrist is sometimes called on by the state correctional authority down here in the state and has in fact seen andrew in the past. he was the attending psychiatrist that oversaw his, the crisis that he had initially, in april. so he's talked to andrew several times. he's been monitoring his progress for the state department of correction. so now -- >> when is the last time he saw him? >> caller: i really would have to ask him, but he's been seeing him every, i believe it's on a weekly basis. i'm not sure. i would have to check. >> in terms of the tapes, have you now had a chance -- i realize you're taking those 49 files and reducing them to something more manageable, more relevant to the issue. >> caller: that's right. >> have you seen any of the 49 files yourself? >> caller: i've seen a couple
this morning. and i have printouts of stills showing the time stamp on one of the corners of the image, and that gives me an indication more or less of where i want to aim our efforts. >> i understand that you're looking at sort of what we would call a constitutional issue, whether or not his rights were violated, whether he was held without seeing someone. i'm curious, aside from the legal issue, is there anything you've seen on these files that would suggest that he was not cooperative? >> caller: no. >> he looks cooperative? in all the video? >> caller: he looks extremely composed and calm. there are several instances, lengthy in time, where, if he really wanted to, he could have just walked away. there was nobody physically restraining him. he could have very well just ran away. this is an assumption on my
part, okay, but it's clear to me that he was calm, and that he indicated to the personnel where his belongings were inside the vehicle. there were actually three searches. on initial search, a deeper search about 20 minutes afterwords, and a couple hours later an exhaustive search, and only at the end of the footage can you see them serving him with the search order. so that was one of my main concerns, and it seems our young andrew have been telling the truth all along. and customs officers had strayed away from that truthful version of the facts. >> one last question. always during breaks, you know, i always go out in the hall and talk to the prosecutor, prosecutor would talk to me. i would get some idea of what the prosecutor thought about the case. have you had any chance to have a casualty conversation with the prosecutor? does he think it's a serious
case, a ridiculous case, dragging on too long? anything from the prosecutor? >> caller: well, i would not like to assume what his state of mind is, but of course we had a chance to talk at length this morning, and we negotiated this stipulation. he was cooperative with us. if i had to make, if i had to venture out and speculate what his opinion of the case is, because he hasn't, you know, verbalized it in such a way that it would be clear, but if i had to speculate, based on his posture, based on his language, based on his attitude, i would say that he probably is starting to realize from the evidence before him that we've been telling the truth all along. and what is clear is that all of us are looking at customs as the entity responsible for the most serious part of this whole
predicament. >> thank you very much. i know you've got to go back into court. good luck for the rest of the day. thanks, sir. >> caller: thank you so much. good-bye. and up next, donald trump. he is outraged that president obama has not demanded a speedy trial for tahmooressi. perfect timing. we're offering our best-ever pricing on mobile plans for business. run the numbers on that. well, unlimited talk and text, and ten gigs of data for the five of you would be... one-seventy-five a month. good calculating kyle. good job kyle. you just made partner. our best-ever pricing on mobile share value plans for business. now with a $100 bill credit for every business line you add.

right now, sergeant tahmooressi is not there, but his case is right now being presented to a mexican judge. the marine has already spent more than five months in prison. and donald trump wants to know why president obama hasn't asked mexico to fast track the case.
>> caller: hi, greta. it's not believable that our president wouldn't call, and if he did call, he'd be out in ten minutes. at least, they have to have some respect for him. they obviously don't have much. but it's inconceivable that our president wouldn't put in one call or one meeting to get him out, just inconreceivable. >> what would you do if you were president? >> caller: i would not even waste my time with a meeting. i would make a call. and if that young man, andrew, was not released within ten minutes of that call, there would be hell to pay in mexico. and i mean, economic hell. we support them. we give them tremendous amounts of subsidy and business and commerce and so many other things, that frankly, we shouldn't be giving them. and for them to disrespect us to that extent, where a marine, who made a mistake or whatever, i mean, you look at our borders, mexicans are flowing across our
borders like it's water, and yet, the only one who can't come across the border is sergeant tahmooressi, so i would make one phone call, and i guarantee you, he'd be out very, very quickly. and obama could do the same, if he were competent. >> donald, you're not the only one who's upset. i get e-mails every single day from marines, from family members who have served, americans who have never served, but they're grateful to sergeant tahmooressi who did two terms in afghanistan, suffers from ptsd. was trying to get help from a va hospital -- and i don't want to go into that discussion, but people are very upset about this. >> caller: every time i even speak about it, whether it's your show or fox & friends or something else, because i'm very upset about it also, it's just an inconceivable situation that our government doesn't do something immediately to get him out. and not only that, it's a rough place. they're beating the hell out of him. i hear he's living in hell.
i see his mother, i just see on your show, his mother going over there, and what she's going through is incredible. when you see the borders, they're like a sieve. mexicans are pouring. they're just pouring across our borders, and yet, he's stuck in a jail, a rough place. it's 110 degrees, and i think it's a disgrace. i think it's disgraceful that our president doesn't take care of him immediately. and it should have been done a long time ago. i mean, even now it's so ridiculously late, but the proper phone call, greta, and it doesn't have to be a meeting. a phone call, he'd be out of there in five minutes. >> thank you, sir. >> caller: thank you very much. if we don't disrupt isis' network they're coming here. senator graham goes on the record next. you know what my business philosophy is, reynolds?

tomorrow night, president obama will speak to the nation, tell us his plan to combat isis. and from isis to iraq, to syria, here's what president obama has said about his foreign policy in the past. >> a red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being utilized. i determine it's in the best interest of the united states to respond to the assad regime's use of chemical weapons by a targeted military strike. i also ask congress to use military strikes. iraq's future will be in the hands of its people. america's war in iraq will be over. today i authorize two operations in iraq. we don't have a strategy yet. our objective is clear, and that is to degrade and destroy isil. we continue to shrink isil's
sphere of influence, its financing, military capabilities, to the point where it is a manageable problem. >> and senator lindsey graham joins us. nice to see you, sir. >> that was very well done. >> i'm curious. not that foreign policy should be reduced to some catchy phrase or slogan, but how do you describe president obama's ideology? >> i think his ideology is basically not to be bush. >> and that means what? >> don't use a heavy footprint, use diplomacy. don't be a cowboy. professorial approach. and it's caught up with him. >> how's that worked out for us? >> not very well. tomorrow he's got two tasks, to convince the american people, the congress and allies to follow him now, and he's got a
trust and competency deficit that's been built up. who would trust this guy, given pulling out of iraq when he was told, you need to leave some troops behind. he did refer to isis as the jv team. competency, he's ignored his national security team regarding training the free syrian army three years ago. he ignored his commanders when it came to leaving a force behind in iraq. he left syria in a mess. so to persuade the american people and our allies, he's got to overcome this deficit. >> i give him a lot of credit for getting osama bin laden. i realize our seals did it, but he gave the order. >> no, he should be given credit for that. >> but aside from that, i'm trying to figure out, are we better off in the world? >> there are more terrorist organizations with more money, more desire, more safe havens than before 9/11. tomorrow night is an important
night in his presidency. he's got to speak to our enemies. and i think our enemies see and hear weakness. when he talks about destroying our enemies he then goes into what he won't do. you've got to instill fear and respect as president. i think he's lost both fear and respect from our enemies. and when it comes to our allies, the american people and the congress, he's not trusted. and people see him as incompetent. >> there have been some questions posed, like a recent poll, abc news poll, do you think the obama presidency has been more of a successor a failure. he doesn't exactly have the wind behind his back with the american people. >> all, this is a problem of his own making. when you draw red lines, and you do nothing about it, when, you know, when you overrule your national security team and you don't listen to your military commanders. every bet he's made has blown up in his face. and now he's got to go from
leading from behind in the back seat of a car reading a newspaper to convince the world to follow me now. >> when you're not a u.s. senator you're still a reserve officer, is that the right description? >> right. >> what does the military think of the president? >> they're loyal to the constitution, which is that they follow orders of the commander in chief. i can tell you this. former military leaders who have opinion successful in iraq and afghanistan believe that this strategy that the president's about to announce is going not to be successful. you can't have a campaign against a terrorist army and talk about what you won't do. there is no arab army or military in the world that can defeat isil in syria without some american ground component. and what botters me -- >> you mean boots on the ground? >> you've got to have boots on the ground. the worst possible thing is to take these guys o and lose. he's been weak and indecisive in
the face of threats from putin and terrorists. he's been weak in setting red lines and not following through. it's all caught up with him. and i'm pulling for him, why? because if we don't get this right, they're coming here. >> senator, nice to see you, sir. rather bleak message. and israel has been at war with hamas. now new fears that hamas could team up would isis. plus, two new smartphones and a smart watch. what does it do? that's coming up. so i can reach ally bank 24/7, but there are no branches? 24/7 it's just i'm a little reluctant to try new things. what's wrong with trying new things? feel that in your muscles?

a role no the fight against isis. but you won't see it, it is reportedly back stage. they are providing satellite imagery. might this be a reason to worry that isis will team up with hamas. >> nice to be here with you. >> nice to have you here, sir. right now, hamas is being funded by iran. iran hates isis. they're fighting in iraq against isis. you worry that hamas is going to get their funding from isis because iran just doesn't have the money that isis has. >> this might be the case. it is funded by iraq and other islamic groups. all the focus is on isil, and it's very important to defeat isil and to form this global coalition against the islamic
jihad. there is no much difference between isil, hamas, boko haram. there are plenty of jihadist organizations all over. >> how has it gotten so big? i mean i know the israelis have been watching for a long time and they've been telling us a lot of things about iran, but how is it that it got to this point where boko haram is such a big part of africa and now we have isis. how did it get so wildly out of control large. >> it's not clear what's going on in the middle east in the last five or ten years, but you found that the jihadist organizations are taking ground in iraq and syria, in gaza, in central africa, in nigeria, all over the place. and actually, although the focus is now on isil because of their pr approach, they executed some
journalists in front of the camera, but boko haram in central africa executed more civilians so far than isil in iraq. it has abducted 300 girls, schoolgirls and raped them and sold them. hamas in gaza, they just now executed 160 palestinian civilians. and by the way, hamas, you could see them doing like isil does in iraq. the only difference is that the idea of confronting hamas, otherwise we would see the same phenomenon. so you have these jihadist organizations stretching from central africa, libya, sinai,
imei yemen and iraq. but isil is not alone. it's very important to fight isis and defeat them, but the same with boko haram in africa and all the rest of them. >> what do you want to hear from the president tomorrow night in 30 seconds? >> well, i'm not an american citizen. >> what you do is important to us, what we do is important to you. >> i think it's very fweed and important that the president and secretary of state kerry trying to arrange global coalition against isil, but it should be very emphasized that you should not neglect the iranian nuclear threat. isil would like to form an islamic republic in iraq. the most important thing is not just to fight isil but to
prevent those jihadists, republican of iraq, it is already islamic state in iran, to prevent them from gaining nuclear weapons, because if those jihadists, sunnis or isis obtain nuclear weapons, it's going to create a dangerous new world for decades. >> thank you for being here. and grim news for president obama. what the majority of americans are saying about him now, that's next. a closer look. it works how you want to work. with a fidelity investment professional... or managing your investments on your own. helping you find new ways to plan for retirement. and save on taxes where you can. so you can invest in the life that you want today. tap into the full power of your fidelity greenline.

on friday, president obama made a surprise visit to stone henge, on his way back from the nato summit in wales, and he made a surprise visit to the
white house. >> what are you doing here, man? >> that is what jimmy fallon has to say about president obama. but now take a look at joining us ed o'keith. and david, that those are bad numbers. >> they're definitely bad numbers, but frankly they've been there all year. he's been in the low 40s, and i don't think he's going to fall any further. but i think that's basically where he is as we head into a midterm, but look, he's got an opportunity here tomorrow night, a unique one that only a president does have to inspire some confidence, to lay out a strategy about a dire situation. and i think tomorrow night could be a potential turning point for democrats and for their party brand this midterm election year. >> amy, h poll.
is president obama a strong leader? yes, 43%. no, 55%. going into a speech to the nation about isis and most of them don't think he's particularly strong. 55% no. >> well, actually new polling out shows how scared americans are. much of a threat americans believe isis is is actually a benefit to president obama. likely more of them will be listening tomorrow night. if he sounds commandinging, those numbers could improve. it could keep independents from getting in the car and voting against democrats or for republicans. i think they're just going to stay home. the biggest story is the president's numbers have been this way for a long time. his foreign policy numbers have been terrible for a long time. what's really scaring democrats is that the numbers that he enjoys in those states that are up for grabs are much worse than those national numbers that are in the 30s. >> you know, and so much of the
speech is leaked out. and so when i watch it tomorrow night, i fear i'll watch it with that's not new. i've heard the preceding 24 hours. i'm sort of looking for something new. tell us what we're going to do. why we're doing it, why this is important and how we can accomplish it. >> and that's what essentially everyone, either party is saying about capitol hill. unless they hear specificity from him on what he's going to do, what he thinks it's going to be done, it's going to cause people to go, oh, well hear you blew your chance. he wants to remind the country, i'm the president of the united states. i as commander in chief need to go out and do this. i appear to have the authority. congress seems to agree with me, so i'm going to do it. what i'm curious is will americans start to think whether congress has to get involved.
i think a growing number of democrats and republicans both saying, you know, i actually would like to have a debate about this. i think we should vote about it. and this is democrats and republicans. congress probably should get involved and weigh in on this. and so, you know, it may not be next week or the week after before they go home to elections, but it is probably something they may get forced into doing. >> i would like to get involved for quick cover. anyway. i am taking the last word on that. nice to see you. we'll all be watching tomorrow night. how long do you think the speech? i say 12 minutes. do you say 30? too long. 12 minutes. make it quick. >> anyway, panel, thank you. and coming up two new iphones and the new apple watch next. which rewards her for responsibly managing her card balance. before receiving $25 toward her balance each quarter for making more than her minimum payment on time each month.

all that hoopla about the new apple phone. it totally annoyed me. big deal. so they're rolling out a new phone. i'm perfectly happy with my 5s. as i was with my 4. okay, i had the 3 and the 2. i guess i bought them all. not this time. i'm not going to be seduced by some fancy iphone screen and big rollout. so i was a bit annoyed when my producer sent me the link to watch the apple announcement. why should i watch it? okay, maybe i was tempted. then i was really annoyed because i did click on the link and my computer said i did not have the updates to play it. i was really not interested anyway. but then hours later as luck would have it, i was sent another link. i took the bait and clicked again. >> today we are launching the biggest advancement in the history of iphone. these are the new iphones. the iphone 6 and the iphone 6
plus. they are without a doubt the best iphones we've ever done. >> okay, then i found myself calling my producer asking when do the new iphones go on sale. obviously i have an apple program. i do need a 28-day program for them. and one other thing, that silly watch thing they rolled out. >> apple watch is the most personal device we've ever created. we invented new intimate ways to connect and communicate directly from your wrist. and it works seamlessly with iphone. and it's also a comprehensive health and fitness device. >> does it come in my wrist size? thank you for being with us. we'll see you again tomorrow at 7:00 p.m. eastern. when you're on the move, watch fox news channel any time, anywhere live at foxnewsgo.com
forgetting to fill in the blanks in the templates. >> thank you for joining us. we hope you have a great day. >> "fox & friends" starts right now. >> bye. >> hello. good morning. today is tuesday, august, 5, 2014. i'm in for elisabeth hasselbeck. a fox news alert. another american infected with ebola arrives in the united states, this as doctors test a man in new york city for the deadly virus. >> great. the white house has a whole new excuse for why they waited until now to do anything about the immigration crisis. >> the house, the senate and the white house, 2009-2010. why didn't you focus on solving the immigration crisis then. >> there were a lot of other crises the president was focused on at that point. >> that's right. remember this crisis? apparently the obamacare
crisis was more important. but they're going to change that. >> call it high and dry. it's one of the worst droughts on record but it is not stopping marijuana growers from drenching their crops. the unintended consequences of going to pot. because mornings are better with friends. >> hi. this is henry winkler. you're watching "fox & friends." >> thank you fonzi. good morning to you, anna. look who's here today. >> good morning. nice to see you. >> thank you. nice to see all of you. >> we start this hour with a fox news alert. fears of an ebola outbreak inside the united states intensify as a new york city man is tested for possible exposure to ebola. this is as the second american infected with the deadly virus is set to land later today in atlanta, georgia. heather childers joins us with the very latest.
roibt good -- >> reporter: doctors say the man came to an emergency room and was placed in strict isolation within seven minutes. doctors saying it is unlikely he has ebola but they are taking no chance. he was placed in strict isolation after he returned from a west african country within the last month and showed symptoms like a fever. test results due back within 24 hours. a second person with ebola is on her way back to atlanta. nurse nancy writebol will land in georgia and be transferred to emory university hospital. writebol along with dr. kent brantly are receiving experimental drugs never before used on humans. her son says he hopes his mother's suffering will be to help others. >> my mom might not be only
to help those who she was trying to help there in country, but by her suffering in this and by her going through it, she may be able to help countless more through them being able to understand what's going on in her body and develop a cure. >> doctors at emory saying brantly who has been there for two days is improving. that is good news possibly. three other americans have been tested but all the results have come back negative. back to you. >> it's the big story on the cover of the tabloids here in new york city. ebola scare in the city and an ebola man tested for disease in new york. the headline is "disease unlikely." >> that' the headline. >> here is who it's terrifying for. i was reading about a lady living across the street from mount sinai where this man is being tested. she said she's aprayed for
the people in the -- she's afraid for the people in the waiting room but you know who is screwed? the people in the waiting room. >> state, federal and local officials are probably tracking down those folks at this moment to make sure there was no exposure to whatever agent this person has. >> when you hear about a deadly virus with a death rate up to 90% it has the chance to cause panic. we've heard every expert say the chance is zero it will be taken to the united states. >> five minutes after the top of the hour. to keep us posted with the news on the cease-fire in israel, here is heather. >> good morning. hope you're off to a great morning. 72 hours of peace, that is the agreement between israel and hamas, the cease-fire taking effect
this morning and over the next few days, delegations from israel and hamas will try to work out a long term truce and all of this happening the moment israel's ground troops pulled out of gaza. their mission of destroying 32 hamas terror tunnels they say is now complete. this is one of israel's more vocal critics. a british senior minister, a muslim cabinet member, resigns this morning. she tweeted this, quote, with deep regret i have written to the prime minister an tendered my resignation. i can no longer support government policy on gaza. that is the latest there. the federal government pulling the plug on emergency shelters in military bases for illegal aliens. nearly 7,700 immigrant chenoweth have been housed on -- immigrant children have been housed on bases in texas and california. officials saying the number of immigrants arriving in the united states has slowed down so they say
other facilities can be used to shelter them. one in oklahoma closed friday. a marine housed in a mexican prison is back behind bars this morning after a hearing held yesterday in tijuana. sergeant andrew tahmooressi's lawyer is saying it could be months before the marine is free. in court tahmooressi faced the border guards who arrested him in march after he made that wrong turn and crossed the border with three guns that were purchased legally in the united states. his lawyer argued this, that the marine's civil rights were violated because no one translated the reason for his arrest into english. listen to this. >> we still have some evidence to enter into the record. it's going to keep dragging on a little bit more. i think the case is going very well so far. it could be three months but it could be a little more. >> tahmooressi's mother was also in court, the judge
allowing her to spend about 20 minutes with her son after that hearing. former white house press secretary james brady has died. brady served president ronald reagan but was badly wounded in an assassination attempt on the president's life in 1981 in washington, d.c. after that shooting, brady took on a personal crusade for gun control. he eventually died from health problems that were related to that shooting. former first lady nancy reagan releasing this statement saying, quote, jim was the personification of courage and perseverance. he and s.a.r.ry brady action his -- he and s.a.r.ry brady never gave up. james brady was 73 years old. those are your headlines. what a legacy he leaves. >> no kidding. heather, thank you. yesterday we played you sound bites of the president of the united states. he was asked a number of times at different town halls, mr. president, why don't you do something about this immigration problem, and he said because i don't have the legal authority to do it. now we're hearing that the
white house feels that they do have the legal authority. they're waiting for eric holder to give them the thumbs up sign to do it. and they could annestize up to five million of illegals in the country even though the president said in the past no legal authority. >> we showed you on video former house speaker nancy pelosi becoming completely unhinged on the house floor calling tom marino a liar saying remember when you had control of congress and the white house. why didn't you do anything back then? she called him a liar, said he is an insignificant person. our story developed more and ed henry pressed the white house press secretary josh earnest on the same they think. he said the president was too busy. >> the first two years of the administration the president vowed in 2008 by the end of my first year in office we'll pass a
comprehensive immigration law. they failed to act for two years. why didn't he do anything then? >> a couple of things about that. the first is at the time, you recall in 2009 there are many things on the president's plate. >> as there are now. israel, gaza, syria, the economy. he has a lot going on now. >> i think the crisis we faced in 2009 as it related to our financial system and our economy, hemorrhaging jobs that that was understandably the focal point of congressional activity but also a lot of activity here at the white house. >> you had the house, senate and white house, 2009-2010. why didn't you focus on solving immigration problems then? >> there were a lot of other crises the president was focused on at that point. >> because the world is not on fire today. >> that is their excuse. we were busy. >> was one of the those crises the obamacare crisis, the political crisis, the necessity to pass obamacare. let's take a look back at
this nugget back then. >> tens of millions of americans will be a whole lot healthier from this moment on. ladies and gentlemen, the president of the united states of america, barack obama. [applause] >> they were busy with that big effing deal. they were busy with it because they made it their priority. they made it number one. now they're making immigration number one even though we've got so many things going on in this country as ed detailed. one of the biggest problems, you talk to people on the street and they say there is this problem with invasion on our southern border. it's curious because we had on the channel nick adams, a political commentator in australia. he was talking about how a number of years back australia essentially found themselves in the same situation we are right now.
and how did australia turn the boat around? here's nick adams. >> we had a problem with our border between 2001 and 2007 and then a government full of secular progressive pinheads got elected and dismantled this effective border protection policy that was in place with the usual claims it was inhumane, it was wrong, it was immoral. the conservative government basically came in and said we are going to determine who comes into this country and the circumstances under which they come and they got the australian military to sort it out. a sweep of measures which included turning back the boats, towing back the boats. but most of all our prime minister said if you come to australia the wrong way, if you come to australia illegally, you will never get to stay. you will never get to live in australia. you will never get to be -- >> once you -- >> the problem was the government was full of secular progressive
pinheads and then eventually the boss of the country said if you come here, we're going to send you home. >> how did they solve the problem? they cut off the water spigot, they turned the boats around like we heard so many cries like turn the buses around, turn the planes around and send these illegal immigrants back to where they came from. >> they have been very effective in terms of what they have done in australia. it has created a tremendous amount of controversy in terms of the practices they engage in in terms of holding these people who are seeking asylum. they have the same controversy going on here but they have been more effective in stopping the tide of illegal immigration in australia. >> is our border patrol effective at stopping the invasion on our southern border? we've got video to show you. it's a truck driver going through an border patrol check point.
he's wearing eye cam glasses and taping the border patrol agent and he asks him a question and the answer, it's quite something. we want to show it to you right now. watch. >> border patrol. how many people on board? u.s. citizens. >> does it really matter? >> not anymore unfortunately. thank you. >> you too. >> are you a citizen? yeah. but does it really matter? not anymore. unfortunately. thank you. >> wouldn't it be something to have that level of honesty from high officials in government? >> good point. you saw just from the smirk on the border patrol's face, you realized how disheartened these guys have to be while they're changing diapers and warming baby formula and handing out lollipops and being glorified baby sitters and not being able to do their jobs in some
instances. they're saying we ought to be taken seriously but right now we're not. >> broarm agents doing their -- border patrol agents doing their jobs and just as frustrated as the rest of us. >> also this morning voters head to the polls in four states today. all eyes are on the kansas primary and peter doocy is live in washington. many races seem to be pitting tea party backed candidates against established incumbents. >> reporter: the marquee race is in kansas where republican senator pat roberts on the job for 33 years must now defend his seat from a tea party challenger dr. milton wolf. this race has been ugly with challenger wolf accused of putting jokes about his patients' injuries on-line while roberts faces question about where he really lives kansas or d.c. roberts is still up double
digits. in kansas, the republican candidate is fighting to keep his job while winn fights to take his job e. she has been using a platform because her son got injured in a gun deal gone bad. sentencing reform is center stage in the winn campaign as is legalizing pot. in michigan one of the most prominent tea party lawmakers in congress is on the ballot today as a chamber of commerce backed businessman brian ellis tries to surge ahead into a congressional seat. ellis doesn't think amash works within the system. we will wait and see if anyone can pull off a surprise victory like dave brat did against eric cantor in virginia in june. >> peter doocy live in our
nation's capital, thank you very much. peter johnson, over to you. >> with california suffering its worst drought on record, water restrictions are rampant but that is not stopping marijuana growers from siphoning water from creeks and streams to irrigate their crops, while leaving the rest of the golden state high and dry. lieutenant patrick foy is with the california department of fish and wildlife. he's seen the damage grown by illegal marijuana growers guzzling up a lot of waters. good morning, lieutenant. we've got illegal marijuana growers, medicinal marijuana growers diverting creeks in a way that's caused the drought to be made much worse, the worst drought in california for many years. tell us about it. >> now that we have several years of drought it has become exacerbated by the
process of these guys taking these small creeks and damming them with illegal diversion dams and taking the water out of the creeks, in some cases, in fact many cases they're taking every drop of the water out of the creeks to divert to their crops. that deprives the native wildlife, the local wildlife of their most pressures resource and in fact these pipes are so big that they oftentimes will justify the amount of marijuana based solely upon the amount of water that's available. they will take every single drop to grow these marijuana plants. >> the law requires they only take 10% from these creeks. sometimes they're taking the entire creek basically. what you're seeing in california is an attack also on wildlife as a result of what they're doing in terms of fertilizers, in terms of using rat poisons. tell us how it is affecting wildlife and what kind of wildlife is getting killed as a result of their criminal efforts. >> there's usually, most of
these growers have zero rights to these waterways. they have no legal ability to take the water out of the creek. they take it any way. in addition to taking the water from the wildlife, they use these massive amounts of fertilizers, pesticides, plant hormones, all these different things and ultimately have a problem with the wildlife that comes in and they try to either dabbling -- damage the crops or get into the growers food sources and many of these deer, raccoon, basically every animal that lives in the forest have either been poached, shot by marijuana growers to prevent them from hassling them or getting into their crops or they have been poisoned by the rodent killers used in huge quantities to protect the irrigation pipelines from the rodents. they will gnaw on the pipelines and put little holes in them so they have to use massive amounts of rodent killers. >> the final question: what can you and the other officials do in california to shut this down, to stop this and return the water
to where it should be going, to californiaans who need it legitimately? >> aggressive enforcement is the key tool we've used. we went to the governors office and he authorized seven new positions for us to help address this very issue. that is where we're going right now in order to try to better address the problem and help out with our major drought situation. >> bad problem and interesting solution. lieutenant, thanks for your service on this. keep us up to date on this please. >> thank you. good to see you. >> they may have escaped death but they have not escaped the law. why they could be busted for playing around on the trakdz -- tracks. >> from the battle field to wrestling wring. a war hero gave his leg for this nation but didn't let that stop him from fulfilling his dream as a professional wrestler. he's here live.

temperatures, look at parts of the east, we have temperatures into the upper 80's. it will be a lot warmer in places like new york city. in parts of southern california you are looking at conditions that are a little bit improving over, at least compared to what you saw over the weekend. the high temperature in l.a. forecast to be 80 degrees. a lot of that rain has moved eastward and into portions of the northern plains. look at how much rain we're expecting across parts of south dakota, parts of northwest iowa. we're expecting as much as four inches of rain. that is going to be a concern out there. showers and storms rolling through today into tomorrow and temperatures will be cooling off across the great lakes wednesday and thursday. let's head back inside. >> maria molina with the latest on the weather. let's talk a little bit about this. we detailed a little at the end of last week and that was that john brennan, the guy who runs the c.i.a., apologized to congress because the c.i.a. was
spying on congress. think about that for a second. the c.i.a. spying on members of the house intelligence -- rather the senate intelligence committee because they were investigating the c.i.a. and as the c.i.a. was investigating them, everything got all haywire. >> which is clearly a violation of the constitution and the separation of executive branch and the legislative branch there. but is an apology enough? and what happens if he's proved wrong? you remember back in march he said he had no idea that any of this was going on and that once a report came out, things would be found to be false. >> we've got judge andrew napolitano. he's apologized for the c.i.a. spying on the u.s. senate. where would you like to start? >> it's a very scary story. first of all, the c.i.a. works for the president and the c.i.a. gets to spy, lie, steal, even fight
secret wars as long as it reveals all this accurately and truthfully to the senate intelligence committee and the house intelligence committee. when it lies to the people to whom it reports, who are essentially its regulators, a, it commits a crime. and, b, it loses the authority to do the things the president wants it to do. >> let's talk about authority, telling the truth and lying. let's watch what mr. brennan says in march with regard to these allegations. >> when the facts come out on this, i think a lot of people who are claiming that there has been this tremendous sort of spying and hacking will be proved wrong. >> there's a little bit of waiver about the tremendous lying and spying but this has never happened before. the head of the c.i.a. publicly acknowledging that his agents spied on the senate of the united states of america. that violates the constitution per se because that's one branch of the
government -- the executive branch -- invading the privacy of the other branch, absolutely prohibited. he also denied that it happened there. and according to senator feinstein, the chairman of the senate intelligence committee, he denied it in one of the private secret briefings to her. guess what? if he lied there, he can be indicted and prosecuted for lying to congress. >> which one is worse, the lying or being a leader that doesn't know what your people are doing? >> i'll tell you what's worse. what's the worst of all of this is that if the president did not know about this, he's out to lunch. and if the president did know about this and permitted it to go on and did nothing to stop it, he probably has committed an impeachable offense by authorizing and permitting his agents to spy on his adversaries in the senate. >> the president is still standing by his man. the white house had this to say. listen to this. >> i have full confidence in john brennan. i think he has acknowledged and directly apologized to
senator feinstein that c.i.a. personnel did not properly handle an investigation as to how certain documents that were not authorized to be released to the senate staff got somehow into the hands of the senate staff. it's clear from the i.g. report that some very poor judgment was shown in terms of how that was handled. keep in mind that john brennan was the person who called for the i.g. report. >> john brennan is also the guy who said we didn't do anything wrong. >> how do you summon the appropriate amount of outrage in terms of understanding this? this seems like something out of 24 or some terrible novel or something that the man who works for the president, the head of the c.i.a., is spying on the united states senate. >> the language you just heard from the president of the united states as he attempted to justify it is enough to make george orwell blush. and right before the president made that announcement, in order to bury this, he said you know
what? i looked at that senate report and we did torture people. we tortured some folks, the way he put it, in the bush administration. by the way, the c.i.a. has been spying on the smat and john brennan admits it. all this on a sleepy, lazy friday afternoon when the public's attention is elsewhere. the government is out of control. the president is permitting spying on the senate. and these guys can't keep their jobs when they lie. >> and democrats are calling for -- >> the democrats are calling for this. >> the attorney general investigating this? >> the activist attorney general? i wish he would investigate. a great point, peter because when the c.i.a. said -- when the senate ak cowed -- when the senate accused of cry of spying on it, they made referrals to the justice department and what did the justice department do? the activist attorney general punted. >> what peter is referring to -- >> who is the activist?
>> eric holder, our attorney general, was interviewed by juan williams of fox news and he also has a column as well. and this is what the attorney general said partisan. if you-- said. if you want to call me an activist attorney general i will proudly accept that label. any attorney general who is not an activist is not doing his or her job. the responsibility of the attorney general is to change things, bring the u.s. closer to ideals expressed in our founding documents. judge, i thought we wanted an attorney general who looked at the law and said that is either legal or it's not legal. and not somebody who says i think i can make this legal if i do this. >> to look at the law, look at human behavior, decide whether it is legal or not, decide whether there is evidence or not to prosecute, independent of the ideological wishes of the president, that is the reason we have an attorney general. in fairness to eric holder, attorneys general of both parties have been wedded at
the hip to the president. but for him to use that hot button word activist, and i know juan ginned him up a little bit, if by activist he means by defending the constitution, i'm with him. >> is he closer to an activist or closer to a community organizer? >> closer to a community organizer in the sense of i will do the president's bidding and look the other way when something happens that i don't want to prosecute because it is a hot political potato. >> is it a mistake to use this with juan williams and use hot button words? >> i think the word activist will be one he wishes he could have used another phrase. >> think about the supreme court. do you want a justice on the supreme court who is an activist? no. >> we connote activist with someone who inl -- injects their own ideology and uses
that as a guidepost. that is not what we want, not what we need now. he shouldn't have punted on this n.s.a. spy. he shouldn't have punted to the black panthers preventing everyone from voting in philadelphia six years ago. selective enforcement of the law. is that activism or such a good lawyer? that is what it is. that is the phrase, selective enforcement of the law based on political ideology. >> in new york city there is this case where this fellow who had been selling loose cigarettes for 50 cents, he was taken by the cops, involved in an altercation. eventually he died and the medical examiner said he died because of a choke hold or something like a choke hold which was executed by one of the cops. now reverend al sharpton and others are calling for the attorney general and the department of justice to get involved.
is this the kind of case given the fact that he's an activist attorney general he would inject himself into? >> i might be on the other side of this one. but this is initially a state crime and there is probable cause to believe there is a crime because the medical examiner ruled this a homicide, the choke hold. if the state fails to prosecute, the feds should come in. >> in the ordinary course the state has the first crack at it? >> absolutely because this is on its face a violation of state law. >> interesting stuff. i love having a judge and an attorney. judge, thank you very much. >> pleasure, guys. i love the purple anna. >> we're still on tv. >> i haven't had my espresso yet. >> coming up, youtube's newest and dumbest and most dangerous teen trend. we're warning it's hard to watch.

51 minutes after the hour. quick headlines. two airport employees busted in miami stealing passengers' luggage. the pair charged with taking thousands of dollars from bags at all three major airports in south florida. police say the men were caught
on camera taking luggage right off the carousel. they face multiple counts of grand theft. businesses use facebook to market themselves, but one texas restaurant is using it to publicly shame dine and dashers. in one owner posting pictures of a man who skipped out on the bill. it went viral and in less than 24 hours, he went back to pay up. >> one way to do it. >> what if your umbrella could predict the weather or fork monitored eating habits? >> it's not just a science fiction idea. those are some of the actual gadgets of the future. here is author of "enchanted objects, design, human desire and the internet of things," mit scientist david rhodes. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> let's start with the umbrella that predicts the weather. i love this. by the way, david invented this. >> right. this is trying to take information that you would
otherwise stay up late and watch the news for, check an app on your phone. the idea is that apps will leap off the phone into everyday objects. so this has a little transmitter that gets data from accuweather.com for your zip code and just makes a little sprinkling led pattern so you don't forget it on the way out. >> right down there. so if you had that in your umbrella stand and you looked at it as you headed out and it's going off, you know to take it with you. >> that's right. couldn't be simpler. >> this is another one you invented. >> yes. this is called a glow cap. this fits on ordinary medication packaging. it will pulse with light and play cute ring tones and text you so you don't forget to take your medication. so it's another example of sort of embedding sensors in everything. medication packaging so that people are healthier and taking medication. >> and for something like this, people will take their medication in a better way and more effectively and more faithfully. >> yeah. we did a clinically controlled pilot with hour regard and found
that -- harvard and found with this, people take their meds over 90% of the time, which is much greater than the average. >> some people think the microphone is bigger. but this is a camera clip. tell bus it. >> this is a life logging camera. takes a photo every 30 seconds and makes a flip book your day. it helps to capture your moments. it reveals things to you, like how often do you snack, how often are your friends looking at you and smiling. so my current company in boston called ditto labs is an image recognition company that looks at all these photos taken by something like this or social media to find brands -- >> when we saw you in the hallway, you were capturing me. >> that's right. the cameras will proliferate. >> talk about the sun sprite. >> sure. i have a bag, my bag has a little sensor on it that is solar powered that makes sure that i get another kind of
medicine which is sun. so it makes sure i get enough sun in the morning, which resets your rhythm and improves your mood throughout the day. >> especially people who live in climates that don't get a lot of sunshine. >> right. >> on your wrist, tell bus that gizmo. first i thought it was a fit built it's not. >> no. it's by a company called jaw bone. it's jewelry with sensors imbedded. so this tells me if i'm getting enough activity throughout the day and what my sleep is like. actually if i've been sitting down for over an hour, it will give me a little nudge. it will vibrate lightly to sort of prompt me -- >> no sedentary activity. >> it's not going to zap you completely, right? >> hold that up. >> does it come in larger size? doesn't look comfortable.
>> this is a product by a company in boston called the memo. it's a little onesy that has a stretch sensor imbedded so you may not have heard of this type of sensor. it senses respiration. it knows the temperature of a child. if the kid is moving around and breathing frequency. >> if it sensed dampness, it would be a good sensor to tell to you change the diaper. >> right. >> or your husband can change the diaper. >> interesting stuff. >> so the big idea here is that our relationships with technology is entirely changing. at stores we know today will jump off of the screen, embed themselves into almost everything around us. >> thank you very much. interesting stuff. coming up straight ahead on our program, a fox news alert. sean hannity is in israel. that's him right there. talking to the soldiers and even going deep into the hamas tunnels himself. will the latest cease fire be honored? he's live with doving details.

sean hannity is live near the front line there between israel and gaza and he joins us live today. sean, the cease fire started a little while ago. how is it holding? >> steve, good morning. let me give you the lay of the land. so far it does seem to be holding at this moment, but it's very interesting where we are right now. we're on the israeli-gaza border and if you look over here to my right and to my left on my right you see an israeli regiment with tanks, et cetera. they have literally pulled back out of gaza, which is directly behind me. i'll give you the geographical location. the same thing is happening exactly to my left. now, if you look out where i am here straight out, there is a little bit of l.a. style haze and murkiness. but if you look way in the background, you can see gaza city. in the near distance, the second road that you will see here, that is exactly where the border lies, just beyond that is a town
that was a launching pad for hamas and where they were firing a lot of rockets and pretty much that town has been wiped out in just the last couple of weeks here. over to my left is stay road. we spent a good part of the morning here. the cease fire began at 8:00 a.m. local time. it's 2:00 p.m. in the afternoon here. and just 7:59, a minute before it began, 30 rocks literally were fired from where i just showed you right into stay road. i spent a lot of time with the mayor there today. he said that in the last ten years, over 10,000 rockets have been fired from gaza into that town. we spent a lot of time inside children's playground that has six separate bunkers in there because the kids can't literally play outside because as you know, you have 15 seconds to actually get to a bomb shelter. i interviewed a lot of the parents and a lot of the people that work there. very compelling story in terms of what life is really like on a day-to-day basis with all these
rockets being fired from gaza into that area. but it's been a pretty informative time here. since we've been down on the ground some 26 hours now. >> yeah. not just on the ground, but below the ground. we want our viewers to see some video of you going into some of the hamas tunnels. these elaborate infiltration tunnels that are hard concrete. let's take a look at this video. >> i used to be a contractor. look at the level of sophistication here. you've got these cement walls and blocks. >> all the same size. >> all built out, all pieced together. by the way, the construction overall, very solid. >> very. >> this isn't going anywhere. so they worked their way all the way lieu. >> and it takes a year. we estimate the progress it takes. >> and you have to have a lot of people working. >> and a lot of money t and a lot of digging to get this. >> this is cement that's incredibly valuable on the strip that's going here rather than
anywhere else. >> a benchmark for success for israel to possibly pull back is destroy the tunnels. we heard initially there may be 30, possibly more. your sources are saying a lot more than that. >> i've been told by people here that they may have as many as 100. what's amazing about this, as i walk through this tunnel, first of all, it's about 60 feet below ground and the israelis literally he is coo straighted around it. there was excavation going on so you could get to the actual tunnel location. you go down a very steep hill. you get inside the tunnel. when you get inside, it's probably made for somebody 5' 9 or 5' 10. i'm six foot. i had to crouch down a little bit. if you look at the top of the tunnel, you had prepared literally formed pieces of cement. the walls were reinforced concrete cement. they had tracks on the bottom to bring the materials in and obviously as they're digging, they can bring the ground out. that is about one. literally behind me right where
the border is, there is another tunnel location that the israelis found and out of that location came hamas militants that killed a couple of israelis just a few weeks ago. so it's a pretty sophisticated network of tunnels here and if the peace holds, israel has to ask the question, is it better to tip the job now or is this something they'll have to get back to in the near future? >> you asked some questions of some of the idf soldiers back from the front lines about why they're fighting in this incredible struggle and it's interesting what they had to say. let's watch together. >> when you go to just where a little over a mile away from the border and where the fighting is going on and earlier today we were at a playground and there you have all of these bomb shelters, when you see that, what do you think? >> i grew up like that. it's not new for me. >> how are you? you speak english, right? >> yeah, that's right. >> what do you say to how
important this operation is and to finish it? >> the operation is very, really important. we've been waiting for a long time for such a serious operation. our people in israel are being attacked every day, are being threatened, something that i believe that we are the only country in the world that has to face such a threat such as the people coming out of the tunnel. >> they are rough solved to -- resolved to settle this, aren't they? >> you know, steve, peter, let me just tell you this, so i spent the time today, again, you see behind me is where gaza city is right over my right shoulder, over that way and over there you've got starute where i spent a lot of time today. in there is this daycare center 'cause the kids can't play. we spent a lot of time with the mayor. we went to the police station. we saw literally hundreds and hundreds of rockets that have been recovered.
the guy who runs this daycare center, in part funded by a lot of americans, estee lauder and other people. but they built this one place where the kids can actually play and i asked the mothers that bring their kids there every day, okay. if you've had 4,000 rockets in the last six weeks which is what they told me have been fired from over there to right over here, why do you stay? the answer was very simple. this is our home. the man who runs the facility says if we leave, then that means everybody begins to surrender. we're fighting not only for us, but for you because this is the free world versus those that want to bring terror to the world. it was very interesting answer considering what they live under, the threat they live under each and every day. >> absolutely. it's relentless. you never know in this case, whether or not the cease fire will hold. all fingers are crossed because like you said, just a minute before it started, a bunch of rockets into that town in israel. >> sean, your reporting has been stellar on this.
very interesting stuff. >> be safe. >> peter, if i can add just one last thing here, one of the things for all the people -- for all those people, and i know, for example, valerie jarrett and i know the state department and some others and john kerry and a lot of the president's spokes people have been speaking in days, i just have to wonder if they would experience one day, one week, one month, three months, six months with their families in this constant threat that is going on here, if it's 3200 rockets in four weeks, if it's literally starot next door which had 4,000 rockets in the last six weeks, one has to wonder, how long would you live there? how long would you want your children to live there? if you saw the rockets that i saw that they recovered, it's almost a surreal way of life that they are living. very, very different, very shocking to the conscience to
see what life can be like in a war zone like this. >> what a good way to frame it. 1,000 rockets into new york city, you think that would get a response? absolutely. >> that's an astute observation. >> sean hannity live at the gaza-israeli border, thank you very much for providing reports throughout the day right here on the fox news channel. we're going to switch gears now and go down to the border crisis that we have going on. yesterday we told you about representative tom monroe and he was talking to nancy pelosi about hey, remember when you had control of the house and the senate and the white house? why didn't you do anything about immigration reform? why is it that the president is going to have to do this on his own now and potentially amnetize 5000000 immigrants and called him a liar, became completely unhinged. ed henry pressed the white house press secretary, josh earnest, on the very same thing and said the president was too busy back then. listen. >> nancy pelosi, harry reid is running the house and senate,
first two years of this administration. the president vowed back in 2008 by the end of my first year in office we'll pass comprehensive immigration reform. why didn't he do anything then? >> the first thing is that at the time, you'll recall in 2009 there were many things on the president's plate. israel, gaza, the economy, he had a lot going on now, right? >> he does. but the crisis that we face in 2009 as it related to our financial system and our economy, emerging jobs, that that was understandably the focal point of congressional activity, but also a lot of activity here at the white house. >> you had the white house, senate, and white house, 2009, 2010. why didn't you focus on solving immigration then? >> my point is that there were a lot of other crises that the president was focused on at that time. >> so earnest says they were focusing on the financial crisis. but a lot of critics say they didn't focus on it in 2009 and 10, but were focusing on
obamacare at that point. so the crisis not focused on. >> so now what the white house is doing is trying to push out this message because congress didn't change the law, the president's going to do it himself. that would be illegal, but they're trying to soften up the main stream media to press that as the message, oh, that seems reasonable. congress wouldn't do anything, so the president is just doing it himself. a little crazy. what do you think about that? e-mail us and we will read that on our little laptop machine. >> there we go. heather nauert standing by with a look at the news headlines for us. >> good morning. i have an update on the condition of that nurse who has ebola. she is infected with the virus and she's now on her way to the united states. we're talking about nancy writebol and now being flown to emory hospital in atlanta and expected to land later today and undergoing an experimental treatment and appears to have positive effects.
she will join dr. kent brantley, her colleague, who has already been in isolation since saturday in atlanta. this is feared that the virus may have spread throughout the united states after a new york city man is now being tested for possible exposure. doctors at mount sinai hospital in new york saying it's unlikely that he has ebola, but they are still awaiting the test results. let's talk about extreme weather. six inches of rain within hours in naples. roads turning into rivers there during rush hour, stalling cars and stranding drivers. imagine that, six inches in an hour. then let's talk about california. clean-up now beginning in southern california. devastating floods and also the mud slides damaging at least 30 homes and stranding thousands of people in the town around san beer dino mountains. some of the roadways still being cleared. the mud slide also blocking in 500 adults and children at a church camp.
the roads there have since been cleared, but the kids are still there and they're all now helping with the clean-up. voters headed to the polls in four states and right now all eyes are on the kansas primary. three-term republican senator pat roberts in a tight race against tea party challenger milton wolf, he's on the right. wolf is a doctor and a second cousin of president obama. then in the kansas race for governor, sam brownback is facing opposition in the republican primary. business owner jennifer nguyen is a dark horse on the ballot there. now washington state. the race for one prosecutor is going to the dogs. 9-months-old dog, nima, in canada there, her owner says he's honest and charming and that's when we like to see in our politician. voters in michigan and missouri also head to the polls today. listen to this, a democratic congresswoman, julia brownly.
she made an error just about as big as an aircraft carrier. the democrat from california sent out a taxpayer-funded letter to voters in her district and it featured a photograph of a woman in uniform. see the bottom right corner of your screen? there is just one problem. these are costumes and they're not official uniforms. also, by the way, shows a gold insignia from the german air force and perhaps what's most embarrassing, she serves on the veterans affairs committee. and those are your headlines. >> oopsy daisy. thank you very much. parents, be on the alert. come to the tv to watch this. the latest youtube trend has teen-agers lighting themselves on fire. here is a warning, a little hard to watch. no! >> okay. it's being called the fire challenge where teen-agers pour flammable liquids on themselves and flick a lighter.
several kids have received second degree burns and it is just outright stupid. oftentimes they're close to a tub or a shower or a pool, they try to put themselves out quickly, but as we see right there, things can go horribly awry. we are joined by psychology professor, dr. charles williams. good morning to you. >> thanks for having me. >> you know, i'm looking at this and i'm thinking, that's about as dumb as anything i've seen in a while. why are they doing it? >> you know, when you live in an era today where kids, too many kids will do almost anything to get attention, to get hits, clicks, views, likes on social media apps. now that includes setting themselves on fire. i can't believe i'm talking about this on national tv. seems like a cruel joke, but it's real and we have to talk about it so that parents can know what the signs are in terms of maybe their kid going out and
getting nail polish remover and then being able to talk to them about the possible dangers of not only this social media game, but other social media games we've talked about in the past. social media has become a very dangerous place for kids. >> sure. you're right. it's all about the number of clicks because i've got kids in their teens and 20s as well and they talk about hey, dad. look at this thing. it's gone viral. i'll look at it and sometimes it makes sense. but other times stuff like this. i'll be thinking, what is going through their head? doctor, we have talked on this program before about depraved kids who get bored and they went out and killed somebody because they had nothing else to do. is this another instance like that? >> well, it's similar in that like i believe that was the slender man, that whole debauchle which led to a young woman being maliciously attacked and killed and they decided to do that because they wanted to, i don't know, please slenderman,
the social media creation. i think what is similar is that again, to be liked, to get attention, to have followers, to feel as though you're part of something, to feel as though you feel in, young people will do some very malicious and heinous things, from the knockout games, flash mobs and now setting themselves on fire. so we have to be very aware of these dangerous trends and more importantly, parents have to be aware because can you imagine getting a phone call saying that one of your daughters, god forbid, participated in such a game like this? so we really have to talk about the dangers of social media now. the irony that social media was created for people to be more social, to engage in positive social behavior, to be connected, and now we have them engaging in these very dangerous acts. >> okay. so your advice is for parents to monitor their kids' social media. what does that mean? i know my kids have twitter and facebook and some other stuff i've never looked at before. i know they have it. but i'm not looking at it.
>> there you go. that's it, steve. you're not looking at it. as parent, i'm not lecturing but. but it's your responsibility to look at these things. back in the day we had the corner of the block. we had the mall, we had playgrounds. now we have twitter. we have facebook. we have vine. we have instagram. these are places in spaces where teens r they congregate and gauge in social behavior and sometimes that social behavior is dangerous and the reason why so many dangerous things are happening now in social media, it's my opinion because parents and adults aren't involved. we don't look. we look away. we say that's the private space. but bad things can happen in these private spaces. so parents have to be aware. they have to educate themselves about these dangerous trends and you have to monitor. there is software to monitor your kids on line behavior. >> and if people would like to know about that, just google it. dr. williams joining us from philly, thank you very much. talk being this. >> thank you.
>> thank you, sir. 20 minutes after the the hour. first it was our bank accounts. then high-tech cars. now a new warning that even passenger jets can get hacked. then meet the brand-new miss new teen usa. the message she has for every young girl, caylee graham walking into our studio right now. good morning to you. and welcome to "fox & friends"! >> thank you. ♪ ♪ (vo) get ready! fancy feast broths. they're irresistabowl... completely unbelievabowl... totally delectabowl. real silky smooth or creamy broths. everything she's been waiting for. carefully crafted with real seafood, real veggies,

file, we still have some evidence to enter into the record, it's going to keep dragging on a little bit more. it could be three months, but it could be a little more. >> okay. luckily we got peter johnson, jr. here, an attorney. how can this take three months more? >> because it's not the american system of justice. it's the mexican system of justice and it appears to me, based on what i've read, they're slow walking this a little bit. he's got a strong attorney, it appears. he's trying to check out the due process issues. was he given a translator? was the arrest processed properly? was there writings on the documents that didn't belong there? so he's trying, in terms of technicalities, to get this thing thrown out. but the issue becomes for a lot of americans, why can't the president pick up the phone and resolve this thing outside of the criminal justice system, especially when i understand that mexico has actually changed
the sign where our poor fellow took the wrong turn. it's been changed to make it clear. >> because apparently the day he went through, it was on the ground and you couldn't actually see it. some of the things his lawyer said was apparently he said that the arrest form was blank when mr. tahmoreesi was stopped, it was blank, and the mexican officers just filled it out right there, which seems a little odd. they also said, the attorney did, that apparently 11 pages were missing from the record. and the border patrol appeared to have been coached. >> they need a diplomatic resolution. that's the president. >> absolutely. come on, we've had the family on the show, his mother, saying remember this 911 call? it pretty much proved that he got lost. he didn't come here nefariously. he called 911 and said can you help me? she said, you've crossed the border, son. i'm sorry, there is nothing i can do for you.

than a simpler leaf spring suspension like you see in a traditional truck. what that does is help handling and also helps the ride. >> wow. absolutely, this is a v. 8 and eight speeds? >> this one here is a diesel version, so this is the one that's right for towing and also excels for fuel economy. >> these are really interesting cars. i know steve is looking for one today. so maybe he'll be looking at one of these today. jeff bartlet from "consumer reports," good to see you aislings. >> good to see you. >> anna, what do you have to say? >> you're right. i am looking for a car for one of my college-age girls. >> yes. >> but i want a pick up truck. 19 minutes now before the top of the hour. coming up, how would your child react to finding a gun and their parents aren't around at the time? our hidden cameras capture what happens when kids encounter a gun while playing. see how differently the boys and

psychologist helped us with our observation and she joins us now. good morning. >> hi. thanks for having me. >> so were you surprised by what you saw? >> i was shocked. it was completely counter intuitive. i expected younger children to be exploring the guns and i found out that -- i'll let you see what happened. >> let's look at the first video we've got. a couple of brothers. one five, the other seven years old. given some instruction on what to do and not to do. here is the video. >> i have a question, what did you think about this gun? do you think it's a real gun or toy gun? >> real gun. >> you think it's a real gun? would you want to touch it? >> no. >> how come? i'm glad you don't want to, but how come you don't want to touch the gun? >> because -- whoa! >> did your mom teach you? did your dad teacher or school? how did you learn?

safe. >> put it away. don't touch it. >> that was really fascinating because i guess there was a little sexist, i did not expect the girls to be interested in the guns and they were the most interested in the guns. >> why is that? >> they had gun safety from their parents. they had been taught on a daily basis not to touch guns. so it was really surprising that they not only touched it, the older child really pointed it, pointed it at herself, really would have done something, possibly dangerous. and i think that was because -- she became familiar with the gun and therefore, she didn't expect the risk, like she thought she was more in control. but she did protect her younger sister as she said, let me feel it. she went like this and said no, no. this might be dangerous. >> let's look at the third one. this is a brother and sister and they're joined later by a group of siblings. let's see what happened and you determine really what was going

argument, although it's not true -- congress did not change the law, so the president is going to do it for them. that's not actually how things work in this country, but that, peter johnson, jr., i can see you're chomping at the bit. because that is not how things work. >> that's not how things work. but the white house press secretary, josh earnest, head to head with our chief white house correspondent, ed henry said, we were too busy back in 2009 to get that done. too busy! >> nancy pelosi and harry reid were hundred -- running the house and senate. the president vowed by the end of my first year in office, we'll pass comprehensive immigration law. they failed to act for two years. why didn't he do anything then? >> the first thing is that at the time, you'll recall in 2009 there were many things on the president's plate. israel, gaza, syria, the economy. he has a lot going on now, right? >> he does.
but the crisis that we faced in 2009 as it related to our financial system and our economy, hemorrhaging jobs, that that was understandably the focal point of congressional activity, but also a lot of activity here at the white house. >> you had the white house, senate and white house, 2009 and 2010. why didn't you focus on solving immigration problems then? >> my point is that there are a lot of other crises that the president was focused on at that point. >> if you remember back during that period of time, they were working on a really big deal. remember this? >> ten americans will be a whole lot healthier from this moment on. ladies and gentlemen, the president of the united states of america, barak obama. >> so back then -- josh earnest says look, we couldn't pass it when we controlled both houses and the white house back then 'cause we were too busy doing
that big [ bleep ] deal right there. how did that big [ bleep ] turn out? well, a lot of people would say it's a big [ bleep ] mess. >> they're talking about obamacare there, that they were spending their time, energy and efforts working on -- and not work on immigration reform when they did have the house, senate and the white house and they could have done something about it. >> there were no immigration bills pending at that point? no. >> even though the president has no legal authority, it looks like he is going to amnetize up to 5 million. and the border crisis may not be a new issue, but the broken spirit of our border agents is a growing one. watch this video that was taken by a guy on his i camera where he's driving a truck through one of the border patrol stops down in texas. he has an exchange with the border patrol agent who seems to be just as frustrated as all of us are.
>> how you doing? how many people on board? >> me. >> u.s. citizen? >> yeah, but does it really matter? >> not anymore, unfortunately. thank you. >> you, too. >> not anymore. >> joining us now over the phone, exclusive interview with the trucker who took that video, travis pope. you just pulled over, right? >> yes. >> travis, you say you see this all the time. you have these conversations with these borrowed patrol agents, who you like and who you trust, and this is the response that they give very often. >> yes. i travel the border states all the time. i ask that question of every one of them and that's what they give me. >> what made you decide to put these glasses on. something that you're fed up with watching these illegal immigrants flood through our borders with open doors? >> yes. i wear my glasses all the time. just this morning the sun was in my eyes and i just put them on and i turned them on. i always turn them on when i go
through the checkpoint just in case get pulled in or anything. >> so we understand, was it a set of icam glasses? >> yes. icam glasses. i got it at cabell a's. >> you pull up here. tell us where this is and what was going on at the time. >> it's there in sierra blanca, texas on interstate 10. i see and hear all the stuff all the time about the border, the immigrants coming across and our government isn't doing anything about it. they've tied their hands since janet napolitano was there giving the catch and release order, i've even asked about that. they said yeah, that's basically all it is. we catch them and release them. >> sure. travis, this is not the international crossing into mexico. is this an interior checkpoint
at sierra blanca, texas? >> yes. that's correct. we call them border checkpoints. >> so there is a checkpoint before you get to the border? >> no, it's not that type of checkpoint. >> travis, you also indicated that you believe the agent that's on this video and others that you met are true american heros, but they shouldn't be tied down changing diapers and doing the like. what do you mean by that? >> well, their job is to catch the people coming across the border, detain them and then we're supposed to deport them back. but our government isn't following the rules on the books. we don't have a border problem. we have a government problem. they won't enforce the laws that we have. >> travis, in your opinion, do you feel like these border patrol agents actually really deserve respect from everybody -- people are thinking they're not doing their job. well, they're trying to do their job, but they're taxed, with they not? >> yes. that's all they're trying to do is do their job.
but they're given orders from up above from the white house, administration not to do things. and they can't do it. and so they're basically reduced to just asking if we have -- if we're u.s. citizens and letting us go. they can't do nothing. >> i guess it's the honor system when they ask you. that agent right there, it does seem in his answer, he's just frustrated with the situation like the rest of us. >> yeah. he's an american. all of them down there are just as frustrated as all of us. same question i ask at all of them. they all say the same thing. they're just all fed up that they can't do their job. >> travis pope, we're going to let you get back on the road and do your job there driving your truck. thanks for joining us. >> thank you. >> travis, by the way, what are you hauling today? >> i don't know. >> just something in the back.
>> yeah. >> thanks a lot. one regular american speaking truth to power. >> there you go. >> heather nauert now waiting in the wings for a look at what else is making headlines. >> good morning. i've got news from overseas and from israel this morning. the cease fire taking effect earlier this morning and over the next three days. delegations from israel and hamas will meet in cairo to try to work out some sort of a long-term truce. this as israeli ground troops have pulled out of gaza. their mission of destroying 32 hamas tunnels is now complete. sean hannity on the show earlier saying that there could be a lot more tunnels than that. he got an inside look at some of those tunnels and here is what he told us earlier. >> but if you look at the top of the tunnel, you have prepared literally formed pieces of cement. the walls were reinforced, concrete cement. they had tracks literally on the bottom so that they can bring the materials in and obviously
as they're digging, they can bring the ground out. >> since the fighting began almost a month ago, nearly 1900 palestinians have died. that's according to palestinian aids groups and 67 israelis have been killed. a desperate search is underway in washington state for a missing six-year-old girl. she was last seen on saturday when she went to bed. her parents didn't report her missing until a day later when she didn't show up for dinner. they say that she often roams the neighborhood completely on her own. >> she went to bed, was asleep. wake up. she probably out running and playing. >> both parents have taken lie detector tests and allowed police to search their home. child protective services removed two of their other children. it's unclear at this point why. but we will keep watching that story for you. a mississippi law maker trying to use divine intervention to try to start the
deadlocked congress. republican congressman just delivered all 535 members in the house and senate with a bible, along with this letter, saying, quote, on a daily basis, we contemplate policy decisions that impact america's future, recommendations help us make informed decisions. however, i find the best advice comes through meditating on god's word. and do you remember that justin bieber song "baby" that came out four years ago? if you're like a lot of us, you probably found it a little unbearable. ♪ baby, baby, baby oh, baby ♪ baby, baby, baby, oh, >> here is the song it's unbearable. a russian fisherman saying the pop star saved his life. that guy was being attacked by a bear when his phone went off.
the ring tone on his phone was that song "baby." the man says the bear got scared and then ran away. and who can blame him? a big burly russian. >> his walls are plastered with posters. >> it reminds me of my father-in-law. he has a cabin in the woods. when we walk around the cabin, we have to blow a whistle to keep the bears away. going to use the bieber song from now on. >> what's his ring tone? >> thank you. things are ratcheting up across the globe. shaky cease fires in the middle east. after a month of fighting in gaza, other conflicts include a clashes between the ukraine and russia, growing threat of isis, and there is also renewed fighting in afghanistan. now amid all the chaos, there is some sobering news for our u.s.
forces. >> get this, while all that is going on, 550 army majors are being pink slipped while some of them are still deployed in a war zone. our next guest says cutting our most experienced troops is leaving our country very vulnerable at a precarious time. >> pete hegseth is the ceo for concerned veterans for america and a veteran of the iraq and afghanistan wars. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> these pink slips coming after another slash of 1200 captains and getting these pink slips while they're serving. is this the best time to be doing this at all? this world seems to be getting more dangerous? >> the world is getting more dangerous. the last thing a major needs is a pink slip saying within 30 days of this date, you have to be home and out of the military. think about majors. they've been in for ten to 15 years. that is the longevity of the conflict we've been in since 9-11. these are your most experienced officers. they've been platoon leaders and company commanders. they've seen the enemy firsthand on the battlefield.
they're going to be our future leaders. because we're right sizing the force, because the president wants to chop our military in order to maintain a smaller force, you got to cut majors and so the army is doing what it has to do in a tighter budget environment. >> and there is always going to be pink slips that come at certain times. it's just the way the military works. but to have so many at such kind of a scary time, given the fact that there are people all around the world who want to kill us and we're essentially going to have a brain drain. >> absolutely. and what we're creating is what i would call high risk force. are we still going to be the most powerful military in the world? yes. most technologically advanced? yes. can you scale up quickly again? you can't just recreate another major or another lieutenant colonel. the cuts we're making now will be saddled on the backs of future commanders in chief who will face future threats in a world that's getting more dangerous without 550 majors and
1200 captains. >> let's talk about the threats. we're talk being multiple threats in a complex world. we announced to the world that we can't handle multiple threats. we can't handle multiple theaters of war. >> that's right. >> so now are we trying to bring our forces down to a preworld war ii level? is that accurate? i've heard that description. >> yeah. we'll have the smallest land force, combat force since world war ii in our military. our combat air force will be the smallest it's been ever and less technologically advanced as far as the time frame. we are creating a force that reflects budget cuts, not strategy and not threats. this administration passed a review that said we can no longer fight two at the same time. it's fight one -- >> we announced that to the world. we wonder why vladimir putin does what he does. they read that and they calculate it. >> emboldening our adversary. >> and leaving our allies out there to dry.
you've seen netanyahu making calculations today based on america, he can't count on. >> what do you think this will do to morale for people serving now and also for little johnny who might want to grow up and be a soldier one day and then see this? >> let's say that gavin walked out with a pink slip for you right now and said just continue the rest of the show. that's necktively what you're telling these majors. here is a pink slip, but we want you to finish this time and then good luck finding a job. the military is not a jobs program. there is places where we can be more efficient in the way we spend. but to do this this way in the time of war sends a signal to the individual and the enemy that we're not serious about those threats. >> i know you never like to talk to the pentagon and tell them what they should be doing. but do you have a better idea on how to save some money, which they've got to do because we've got to take the money that we've got at the pentagon and put it in other programs. what would do you instead? >> you can start with processes like acquisitions reform. the way we procure new weapon systems, new missile, new
planes. we spend billions more than we should. it takes years longer than we should because it's a process that was started under the eisenhower adds managers and has -- administration and has never been reformed. our group is going to try to help them actually achieve this so that we cut the fat to keep the muscle. you keep the major, you lose the waste. it's not just waste. it's processes. there is things that need to be remind. the money is there to be found if you need to. but right now we're doing it arbitrarily. we're chopping people, personnel, which is the quickest, easiest way, but not the smartest way. >> change the system. >> that's right. >> captain pete hegseth reporting for duty on the curvy couch. >> thank you so much. fox news alert to tell you about. ebola scare in new york city. another infected american arrives back in georgia. we are live where the plane is about to land. and you know her from a little show called "bay watch." but she has a new game now. actress and host of the game show "the chase," brook burns is testing our trivia skills.

27-year-old woman, a mother of two, was pulled over during a routine traffic stop in atlantic city. she told the cops that she had a hand gun in her car and then showed them her concealed carry permit, which is from the state of pennsylvania. remember, she was now in the state of new jersey and the permit is not honored in new jersey. so she was arrested and here is what she told us about those charges. listen. >> i hope that they pardon me because i didn't know it could happen to anybody. >> she was a new gun owner and didn't know the law. if convicted, she faces up to three years in prison. she'll be before that judge at 1:30 eastern time today. caught on camera, a woman nearly crushed by an out of control jet ski in the bahamas. look at this. >> oh, my -- oh, my god. is she okay? >> we hear about these near misses all the time. this one, she is so lucky with just seconds to spare, she gets off the jet ski and out of the

entrenched. and because it's entrenched, it doesn't turn on a dime. i was aware and i took great steps to eliminate them. we had this report cite things that happened before my leadership of the band. i love ohio state and i would love an opportunity to work with the university to improve the culture. >> ohio state loved its band. waters became director in 2012. army sergeant chris melendez lost his leg in iraq when he was just 19 years old. that did not stop him from fulfilling one of his life long dreams of becoming a professional wrestler. he makes his debut tonight. he stopped by here earlier and talked about achieving this incredible goal. >> the key i think helped me a lot as i said before, is my training in the military, just having that military mentality and you can't feel sorry for yourself. that's the key. you can't get down on yourself. >> his first big match airs on september 11. congratulations to him.
what an inspiration he is for so many of our wound warriors. >> that's cool. >> anna talked to him earlier. >> tonight is when he's actually going to be having his first match. then it will air on september 11. so obviously the significance is pretty important for him. >> absolutely. heather, thank you very much. we've got kind of a troubling story when you actually think about the top lawman in the united states of america is our attorney general, right? well, it turns out eric holder, our attorney general, revealed to juan woman's something very, very -- williams something very, very troubling. he's not just a referee trying to interpret the law, peter johnson, jr. he is an activist. >> he says he's an activist. here is what he said to juan williams. if you want to call me an activist attorney general, i will proudly accept that label. any attorney general who is not an activist is not doing his or her job. the responsibility of the attorney general is to change things and bring us closer to ideals expressed in our founding
documents, to change things. i thought it was to enforce the law and to prosecute people who do wrong and engage in civil litigation as well? judge andrew napolitano was here earlier this morning and he really articulately and eloquently talked about the role of the attorney general and eric holder. >> to look at the law, to look at human behavior, decide whether it's legal or not, decide whether there is evidence or not to prosecute independent of the ideological wishes of the president. that's the reason to have an attorney general. we connote activists with someone who injects their own ideology and uses that as a guidepost in exercising the official power of the government. that's not what we want. >> also asked if eric holder would be unhappy looking back, if it was a good idea to use the word activist when being interviewed and he said yeah, i think he's probably going to wish he had never said that. but in the piece it seems he
thinks activist is a badge of honor. he's also been called president obama's heat shield, talk being things that the president can't easily talk about. >> we've got an activist president. why wouldn't we have an activist attorney general? >> activist usually connotes something political, someone involved in a political way trying to change things. he indicated he's trying to change things as an attorney general. what do you think? is that the role of an attorney general? enforce the law or to activate some sea change perhaps of a political nature? >> all right. it's 20 minutes before the top of the hour. we have dispatched our own maria molina out to the streets, 48th and ofth avenue. she joins us live with i think weather and a frizz quiz? >> yeah, that's right. let's get get to the weather forecast. i want to talk about bertha. yesterday this storm was upgrade to do a hurricane. now just a tropical storm, maximum sustained winds at 65 miles per hour. it is forecast to remain away from the east coast of the united states. of course, this is great news. temperature wise, highs in the
90s across the plains and to the southeast. upper 80s in new york city. so we are on that warming trend. as far as rain goes, we do expect heavy rain across parts of the northern plains. several inches expected out there. and some showers and storms as well across parts of south florida. now i want to switch gears a little bit. did you know that august is national anti-frizz month? that's according to vo 5 and year after year, i've been suffering with frizzy hair and one example was on hair. i was with you on this assignment at the big daddy golf classic. it was 95% humidity that day. we started out the day just fine. by the end of it, your hair was fine, but mine was not. this is a before and after. you can see there on your screen. yeah. so they gave me this poll. they gave me all these products because they felt bad and we learned how to combat my frizzy hair and make everything a lot better. >> thank goodness. >> actually. >> you look awful in that picture, maria. >> one here in my pocket.
don't leave here without it. they told me that 75% of women that they polled do look at the weather forecast to determine how frizzy their hair could potentially be. i went ahead and made your frizz cast and across parts of the southeast is going to be higher humidity. so there is a higher chance for some frizz. that's going to be the story as well across portions of the plains. >> this is your frizz quiz? >> no. that's supposed to be a map. it's a full screen. so you can see where there is going to be higher humidity in the southeast and across the plains. now for your frizz quiz. there you go. there is your frizz cast. now let's go ahead and hit those three questions that we want to ask you. these are true or false. here is the first one, how drying your hair can help tame frizz? is that true or false? >> absolutely true. >> it's false. peter, it's false. >> it's false. >> if you towel dry it too much,
then you start to create some frizz. >> what about a blow drier? can it burn my hair? >> you got to be careful, peter. the second question is, brushing your hair can lead it breakage and frizz? is that true or is that false? >> that's true, especially if you have hair spray. >> anna, you are right. it's true. >> it happens. the higher the hair, the closer to god. >> i find hot oil treatment is my best friend. >> peter johnson, jr., all right. thank you very much. maria, thank you very much for the frizz quiz. meanwhile, fox news alert. fighter jets have just been scrambled to escort a passenger plane into manchester airport near london. officials say the pilot radioed about a possible device on board the jet liner. this is a picture of the plane before it landed. right now the plane is on the ground and police are responding

good morning. fox news alert. fighter jets just scrambled to escort a passenger plane into manchester airport near london. officials saying the pilot radioed about a possible device on board. this is a picture of the plane before it landed. >> we don't know where the flight originated from, but some reports say it came somewhere from the middle east. >> let's listen to our partners in the u.k. right now, sky news. >> should there be a problem with the aircraft and its electronic flight control system navigation system, for example, then the typhoons could literally bring the aircraft into the runway. that didn't need to happen in this case as far as we can see, the aircraft is now down on the ground and that a disbursal at manchester, designed to be able to take these airplanes, emergency services from not just
the airport, but from the surrounding area. all of those people will be there. it's a well-practiced plan which is used so occasionally, perhaps once a year somewhere in the united kingdom. >> now that the plane is on the ground, is the job done? will they go back? >> yes. the royal air force have done their bit. the first line of defense. the primary role of the royal air force is the air defenses of the united kingdom. and so they have fulfilled that part of the bargain. it's now over to -- depends how far up the chain this has gone, but this is now a police matter once aircraft is on the ground. probably in the hands of the ctu, counter terrorist unit, which will be involved in man chester and if necessary, there are army units in the explosive ordinance disposal which could be called in.
and the royal air force has its own bomb disposal team as well. if it's an aviation related matter. it's all about judging who was the best responder to this, who can deliver the best and the quickest solution to bringing the situation back to normal. >> the latest beyond our getting it from manchester is flights in and out of the airport are being diverted. we had one eyewitness said that he could see no planes coming in or out of manchester airport while this operation was underway. that seems to be a concern that flights are being diverted and other flights will be using the airports. the plane at the end of the runway. at the airport itself, the third largest airport in the country, it's been evacuated there to ensure the safety of those at the airport who are waiting for their flights. joining us in studio, sam kyle
kylely. this flight came from qatar. you were saying security would have been very tight, wouldn't it, on one of these planes? >> yeah. it would be. the flights out of the middle east are very, very tight because of the history of hijacking out of the middle east, which has not been repeated too often. there is an attempt in the more recent past has been to smuggle bombs in underpants, shoes, precisely because it has been so effective. none the less, there are also, of course, all kinds of political tensions at work. we've seen people trying to seek asylum by hijacking aircraft in the past. in other words, with no real intent to blow them up, but simply to get out of the country they're in at that time. this took off in dohar, there is certainly fairly authoritarian structure. there aren't enough qataris to
generate very much an opposition. it's a wealthy country in any case. those areas are much less problematic. i think it's likely that this -- once an incident like this goes on, something gets reported, perhaps a member of the crew reports to the pilot, the expert was saying you then go into a protocol. it doesn't end until it ends. you don't suddenly halfway through say oh, no, we've changed our mind. we didn't think it was suspicious after all. if you hit that red button, that goes right through to the point at which the very least, the passengers are evacuated. >> but the pilots and the crew also have training to know that they don't hit that red button until they have a really strong suspicion. >> they can't afford to be jumpy, but also can't afford to be complacent. >> we are watching sky news, our sister network over in the united kingdom now because manchester airport is on full
alert. just a little while ago, at least one royal air force typhoon escorted in apparently a qatari airways plane. the pilot had radioed that there was a possible suspicious device on board and therefore, the escort plane was called. currently no takeoffs or landings at manchester airport. they are on full alert. there you can see the typhoon escorting the qatari jet liner into manchester. let's listen in some more to sky news to figure out what's going on over there. >> since you became aware of the plane being escorted in, you first said -- we're trying to get these pictures to you and 46 minutes ago seeing they're being escorted. he then also tweeted saying okay, i'm not worried and continued to tweet. he did say that emergency services were on the runway and as they were due to land, he seems completely unaware of what
was actually happening. he says that we've landed, but not entire leisure what is happening. his most recent update suggested that there are emergency services around the plane and that the royal police are outside the plane. so it does seem as we suggested, the plane has most certain leelanded and that there are certainly police and what looks like from this picture fire engines, which have surrounded the plane we think at the end of the runway, so away from the terminal buildings, and josh hartley, the passenger board suggesting there were armed police outside. he's also tweeted a picture of what looks like passengers walking around inside. so we're not entire leisure what's happening inside that plane, about it seems that there is a response from the different agencies on the runway. >> it does also -- if this is a genuine photo cam, it does seem to also confirm that flight has come from dohar.
>> indeed it does. before he took off. in fact, he's responding to people on social media to say that's where it came from. but it doesn't seem like there is necessarily panic on board. but it also doesn't seem like they were informed necessarily of what was happening. it seems that they spotted this typhoon jet outside the plane. he seemed to have turned on his phone and tweeted it. but from this most recent picture, passengers seem to be walking around inside. >> as you're talking to us, these are the shots that we have taken from josh hartley's twitter account. you can see that from the air bus window. you can see the typhoon there and the countryside surrounding manchester in the background. we also have some shots of inside the plane. i don't know if we'll be able to bring you those as well. we can also see the emergency services on the runway. we can see police and fire and a large number of fire engines.
we'll try and bring you those as soon as we can. let's bring in -- >> just to say he's just tweeted again. the passengers are still on the plane and there does seem to be several more police cars around the plane. though the plane itself doesn't seem terribly far away from other aircraft, certainly -- >> darren, what do we know about what's actually happening at the airport? >> as far as we know, the airport has in effect been effectively evacuated to a degree. we know the viewing platform, that glass platform where you see aircraft take off, people have been moved away because of what police say is they're trying to protect the security and they say people should not be alarmed. of course, the major focus has been on flights. if you look at departures and arrivals board, almost every
plane has been delayed. most planes are now being diverted to lees bradford airport because of this incident. we've now got moving footage of that plane about to land. the airport itself and as i said, we don't think it's been wholey evacuated, but in some sense of emergency planning situation that we always have in place for such situations. we know that police, services and armed police are on the airfield around the airplane at this time trying to deal with what they say is a comprehensive portion safety measure. what also seems clear is that the passengers on board have not left the plane itself. they seem to still be on board and to a degree, wholey unaware of what's happening apart from probably turning on their mobile phones and following what we're talk being and what other people on social media are talking about. >> we have seen some images from the passengers aboard these aircraft showing the emergency
services on the runway. i saw one of them from a young man saying that armed police were outside the cabin. >> yeah, indeed. we know that -- as i said, this man seems to have turned on his phone when he spotted these typhoons outside the plane and have said there are armed police outside the aircraft. certainly looking at another picture, he's just tweeted, we can see police vehicles on the runway next to the plane. the plane itself doesn't seem to be near a building from the angle that it's been shot at. but it seems near to other aircraft. it seems this tweet was sent five minutes ago. passengers themselves still seem to be on board. as i say, certainly on the approach in we're certain -- were unaware of what was happening. >> let's bring in chris yates who we often call on in
circumstances sufficient as this. of course, particularly with security. hello to you, chris. limited information at this stage. what are you making of what you've seen so far? >> limbed information indeed -- limbed informations a qatari je. the information coming in to me appears to be that the jet passed some information which seems to activate all of these measures going on at the moment. the jets guiding the aircraft in. the hold of the aircraft on the runway until such time as it can be cleared for an approach either to terminal building or literally left on the runway for a period of time. the emergency services now will be clearing off the aircraft,
well, valley clearing off the aircraft from passengers. it's likely that as that is taken up to the aircraft to bring people down and those people will be obviously interrogated, questioned very carefully as indeed that process goes on. >> stand by if you would. i want to bring in alister rosenshine, has friend of the program, a former pilot. hello to you. so talk us through the protocol. what happens in circumstances such as this, presumably one of the cabin crew will make the pilot aware that there is some incident and then what happens? >> hello, yes. the flight crew, either by cabin crew or air traffic control, depending on how the device, if there is such a thing, has been found or located on the aircraft, and the protocol would be to make air traffic control aware and to -- >> this has been extraordinary.
the pilot radioed. they found perhaps a device on board that qatari airways and this morning we've actually seen through social media pictures from inside the plane. we're going to be covering this story right now on "america's newsroom". bill: thank you, guys. breaking news. we are tracking it as best we can from new york. i'm bill hemmer. one royal air force typhoon jet escorting a flight back to plan chester or toward manchester airport northwest of london. the pilot radioed in there was a suspicious device on board. it seems to be a qatari airlines plane. there were reports it originated in doha. we can't confirm that. manchester is executing what has been practices and
