>> mason: good evening, for those of you just joining us, this is a special expanded edition, i'm anthony mason. scott pelley had been reporting from the new jersey shore but the hurricane has knocked out our link to him. hurricane sandy is about to make landfall near atlantic city, but the impact of this storm is being felt all along the east coast. the governors of 14 states from north carolina to maine have declared states of emergency. let's get the latest now from cbs news hurricane consultant david bernard. david? >> good evening, anthony. a lot of trouble up and down the east coast tonight. sandy is basically not a drop cam system anymore, but the effects are all going to be the same. let's start with where the storm is right now and, again, we are looking at very strong waves occurring all across ptions of the jersey and also long island sound. notice just offshore we're seeing some of these wave heights still indicated near 45 feet, maybe higher. and even though the storm is here, anthony, it's still pushing a lot of water in from
the east and southeast. in fact, i was looking at some of the tide gauges in just the last few moments and places like the battery and even further east along the long island south and south along the jersey shore, those tides are reaching their highest levels of the day as we are nearing high tide in the next couple of hours. >> mason: david, we've talked about the storm surge. how does it work? >> when we talk about storm surge, we're talking about a lot of components that go into it. i was just mentioning high tide. so on a normal day you have your tide ranges, you have your low tide and you have your high tides. when a storm is going on, we have to also factor in the surge. the surge is not like a tsunami, it's a gradual buildup of water that comes along with the center of the storm and it pushes into the coastline. so we have the sea level, the tide, and the surge. and what happens is if it comes in at high tide like tonight, you have to add the high tide to the amount of the surge and when you do that, that equals the total storm tides. so when we talk about water
levels in long island sound and along the jersey shore could be anywhere from six to as much as 12 feet, that's what we're talking about, the storm tide, and that's how much water potentially you could expect at ground level. so if you know you're at sea level and obviously the storm tide would equal exactly what amount of water you could have your n your house. >> mason: david, how long is the worst of this supposed to last? >> that's the problem. right now the storm is moving at a pretty good clip. it looks like that low pressure center is going to slow down. so we're going to talk about on shore winds continuing probably for the next 24 to likely 48 hours. here's the satellite picture in the center of the storm right here. but look how the wind going counterclockwise around it are continuing to feed a lot of water, not only in the long island sound but also into the jersey shore and the track is going to be something like that. so we're going to continue with these on shore winds at least for the next day and probably for the next couple of days right here in south florida and the miami area. we still have large ocean swells that are causing coastal flooding here up and down the
coastline and sandy went by several days ago. >> mason: david bernard, thanks, david. flooding along the new jersey shore has cut some communities off from the mainland. you know conditions are bed when rescue crews can't even get around. elaine quijano has our report. >> reporter: pounding surf and rising water along the jersey shore had officials worried early in point pleasant, beach. >> it's completely underwater. i'm not going to chance taking this vehicle into it. >> reporter: by noon, the water was already so high even experienced rescuers had to turn around. >> you can see how deep it is. >> reporter: kyle grace with the city's emergency management team had a blunt warning for anyone who ignored the order to leave. >> they have to realize if it gets really bad here we can not come in and get them. so if you can get out now; get out now. >> reporter: authorities here know how deadly storms can be. last year, tropical storm irene swept two people out to sea.
>> people need to learn from that and listen to us and get away from the ocean, get away from where the tidal flooding is going to happen. >> reporter: one person who was on the beach after the evacuation order was mike koen. what are you doing here? >> i came over here to check one of the complexes that i manage. i'm setting my pumps up and leaving right now. >> mason: you expect high winds, heavy rain and flooding from a hurricane, but here's what makes sandy so unusual. it's bringing snow to the appalachians. anna werner is in elkins, west virginia. >> reporter: the national weather service issued blizzard warnings for more than 14 counties across the appalachian mountains as hurricane sandy hit a blanket of cold air. west virginia's governor earl ray tomblin declared a state of emergency as the snow began to fall. >> we're getting ready for the winter snow. >> reporter: the snow shoe mountain resort was one of the first to see the snow. four inches now could grow to a possibly two feet by tomorrow.
some roads are treacherous already. >> our friend's car doesn't have the greatest tires and they've done -- spunking around on the road one time so i decided to come get them. >> reporter: you'll do better. >> yeah. >> reporter: you got a four-wheel drive. >> reporter: i think so. >> reporter: travis ray is with the state's department of transportation. >> it's going to be very difficult. there's going to be guys out there in midnight and zero visibility conditions that are going to have to work and we have a very dependable work force but they're not ideal conditions for people to be out in but we're going to be out there to serve the public. >> reporter: the most critical problem here may be if the power goes out. companies are already warning the outages could be widespread as trees buckle under the early snow and fall on power lines. now, anthony, for as much snow as is coming down here now, state officials say the next 24 hours are going to be the worst. national guard is on standby and power crews and extra highway
crews are on alert to cope with whatever damage happens here over the next couple of days. >> mason: anna, what can you tell us about any power outages inland there? >> reporter: well, we do know that a few thousand customers are without power in the region but, in fact, just ten minutes nag the town of elkins right here behind me, the lights in the entire town flickered twice then the whole town went dark. some of them have come back on, but many of the businesses here appear to be without power as we speak. >> mason: anna werner, thanks, anna. as we mentioned, we lost our satellite connection to scott pelley but we have him on the phone now from allenhurst, new jersey. scott, you lost power where you are. what can you tell us about the conditions where you are now? >> pelley: anthony, well, to tell you the truth, i'm watching a (inaudible) a refrigerator floating by in the sea right now. it's a remarkable sight here in
allenhurst. the ocean is crashing over a sea wall. i'm about 15 feet above the beach at the sea wall and the waves are crashing over the top of the sea wall pretty routinely now. there's quite a bit of debris in the water and like i said, i just watched a couple of refrigerators float by. we're seeing a lot of wood, lumber in the water. obviously structures have been destroyed by the waves and seeing the debris going by right now. the winds at this moment are about 69 miles an hour according to the weather service, gusting up a little bit higher than that. but mostly the story here, anthony, as david bernard was saying earlier, it's the water. we are looking at mountainous waves, impossible to judge how tall they are. but they are crashing on to the shore here and now vaulting over this 15-foot sea wall which has been here protecting allenhurst for quite some time. the city itself, this city, is
largely dry except for the rain. we're not seeing massive flooding here at all. but certainly the waves are threatening the lower lying areas of new jersey all up and down the coast here. so a very significant storm, not a great deal of rain. winds about 69 to 75 miles an hour which would make it a category one hurricane and the sea rising and rising as the storm comes on shore. anthony? >> mason: scott, as we mentioned, one of the casualties of the hurricane was one of our live signals from scott in allenhurst, new jersey. today washington, d.c. could have been called washington, c.d.-- as in closed down. wyatt andrews is there. wyatt? >> reporter: anthony, washington, d.c. is 120 miles from the atlantic coastline from where scott is reporting and yet hurricane-force winds are still expected here. the threat of wind and flooding shut down most of the nation's capital today and will again
tomorrow. fear of hurricane sandy emptied the streets of washington. more than 200,000 nonemergency federal workers were told to stay home. schools were closed. the entire subway system was closed. the executive branch was mostly closed. congress was already on recess. only the supreme court was fully on the job, hearing two cases-- one on wiretapping, the other on copyright limitations, but the court and the rest of the government will be closed on tuesday. the number-one concern tonight is the danger from the wind. the weather service issued an unusual high-wind warning for washington and baltimore and is forecasting hurricane-force gusts of 75 miles per hour tonight. almost six million people live in the washington region and the threat of downed trees and lost electric power is extreme. hundreds of utility repair trucks and crew from outside the area have been brought in and
prepositioned, but can only begin the repair work after the storm subsides. the power company serving the washington region say that 100,000 homes are already without power and that's before these heavy hurricane-force winds bebe again slamming this region later tonight. anthony? >> mason: wyatt, when does it look like the capital will be open for business again? >> reporter: just before we came out here, the federal government announced yet again federal employees here-- and there are 300,000 of them, roughly 100,000 are emergency workers-ers-- they're being asko stay home again tomorrow so wednesday at the earlers. >> mason: thanks, wyatt. in new york city, a construction crane snapped today in the high winds and was left dangling 75 stories above the street. it's a precarious situation and john miller has been looking into it. john? >> reporter: anthony, i'm just back there from the scene and what you have there was hard to believe when you saw it. you have a crane that is at the
top of a 90 story building in the process of being built. this is on west 57th street just down the street from our broadcast center here and this is the street that is home to carnegie hall, the iconic russian tea roomhe steinway piano factory and all of it's been evacuated because the boom on that crane snapped off and is hanging over the street. now, authorities say if the rest of it breaks loose it could fall at such a velocity and hit with such an impact it could pierce the pavement, it could hit gas lines, water mains, steam lines and cause real disaster. so it's not a disaster yet, it's kind o a disaster waiting to happen. they're hoping that it won't, that they can tie steel cables to that boom, reattach it to the building, wait until after the storm passes and then dismantle it and take it down in a million pieces. but right now a main thoroughfare is shut down, a precarious situation still unfolding as the storm
approaches. >> mason: and i assume they don't want to send anyone up there to try to secure it. no, that was part of the discussion. that boom is still attached to the cables that run to the crane housing and they're hoping that all of that will hold it. in the meantime, they're just counting on the evacuation to keep everybody safe. >> mason: but the worst of the wind are still to come. >> that's right. >> mason: john miller, thanks. to the east of new york city, long island is getting hit with a storm surge. streets are flooded and more than 525,000 homes and businesses have lost power. michelle miller is in sag harbor. >> reporter: by noon, sandy's storm surge had already wiped out the laser-thin beach in sag harbor. police chief tom fabiano was stunned. how far did the beach go out? >> probably about 100 feet. >> reporter: there's nothing left. >> no, there's nothing left here. there's a playground behind us and in all the years i've been here i've never seen it come up to the road or anything like that. >> reporter: flooding is the
chief's main concern but he says winds are proving just as dangerous. strong wes stripped boats off their moorings and well-rooted trees were toppled. there is a voluntary evacuation order in low-lying areas here. have you ever seen it this bad? >> no, i haven't. i've been here 35 years doing this job. and this is not even the worst of it. >> reporter: at this bar across the street from te harbor the power was already out but people were trying to squeeze in a last-minute meal. >> it's pretty impressive to watch what's going on outside from here. you have to be concerned and careful. you have to stay awa from the hysteria, too. >> reporter: anthony, the corner bar and every other business here is shut down tonight and three quarters of this town are without power. a few peoplere milling on the streets, millingbout, but most of the people are heeding the warning from the police chief to buckle up and ride out this storm. >> mason: michelle millner sag harbor, thank you, michelle. further west, jim aelrod is in
downtown maattan at t tip of m a what's tt there? >> reporter: anthousny, j with the last hour the rain has startedo intensify, the wind has picked up. you can hear a sound as the wind whips through the skyscrapers of lower manhattan that sound like a jet engine and it seems as though new york is really about to feel the full force of hurricane sandy. the big concern is the water right over my shoulder. all eyes are on the sea wall. if that water comes up over the sea wall and works its way into the electricity generating equipment that's in lower manhattan and into the subway stations in lower manhattan there could be very serious implications. anthony? >> mason: jim axelrod, thanks, jim. that was dramatic rescue at sea aboard a ship you may recognize from the movies. and two presidential campaigns are derailed by a hurricane. that's ju,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
>> mason: the hurricane forced the presidential candidates to suspend their campaigning for a couple days. john dickerson is our political
director. john, with just a week until election day, how is this going to affect their campaigns? >> reporter: well, no candidate wants to look like he's taking political advantage of this cry seusz so with a week before the election this should be a time of frantic political activity but now the campaigns have to pear way back and calibrate every political move. usually at this time the campaigns are trying to hone their message down to a single simple closing argument to punch through the voters. but that's been interrupted and complicated now. both men have canceled a series of campaign events. the president has an official role and his strategists are trying to both highlight that role while at the same time not looking like they're doing so. mitt romney as no official role but by turning his campaign into a relief effort shows he cares and it keeps him in the news at this key time. losing the candidate on the stump is a blow to both campaigns in the battleground states where a candidate visit is an important part of the organization. it gets the candidates' message into local media where undecided
voters can hear it and candidate events lure voters who can be taken after the rally to vote early or convinced to volunteer for the final get out the vote effort. but while the candidates have suspended their public events for a little bit, the race does still continue. both campaigns were kicking each other under the table today in ohio over the auto bailout, releasing competing television ads and accusations. >> mason: john, how is this likely to affect the ground organization for both candidates in the key battleground states you were talking about? >> well, they'll continue fighting it out on the ground while the candidates are not there, but there is this element of without the candidates coming to pay a visit, the campaigns have to rely on surrogates to come and surrogates don't turn out the crowds as much. in some states, the crucial battleground state of virginia and then also perhaps a little bit in north carolina the ground game kind of has to halt in terms of just the fact that the weather is too bad and also because volunteers are busy cleaning up their basements and their front yards and they're not able to get on the phone and call voters to convince them to
vote for their candidate. >> mason: john dickerson, thanks, john. the deadly meningitis outbreak caused by tainted steroid injections has spread to 19 states. rhode island was added to the list today. the number of cases jumped to 347. 25 people have died. another drug-mixing company in massachusetts called infusion resource was ordered to shut down after investigators made a surprise inspection. lights, camera, coast guard. a ship straight out of hollywood
in the 1962 film "mutemy on the bounty" was at the center of a real-life drama today. the ship was battered by hurricane sandy and sank. the crew had to be rescued. david martin has the story. >> reporter: coast guard rescue swimmer dan todd was lowered into 18-foot seas 90 miles off the coast of north carolina. he swam to one of two life rafts holding 14 survivors. >> there's two people remaining in there. >> reporter: the three masted ship-- h.m.s. "bounty" was sailing from connecticut to ship-- h.m.s. "bounty" was sailing from connecticut to florida when it foundered. the coast guard homed in on their emergency beacons. what followed was the rescued of 14 souls from vessels pitching so violently that at times they capsized. one after another the crew members, wearing cold-water survival suits and life jackets-- were pulled aboard in the wildly swinging cage.
>> this one is swinging really bad. >> reporter: the swimmer remained in the water waiting for the empty cage to be lowered for another rescue. at one point he moved from one raft to the other by dangling beneath the helicopter. >> trying to stop the wind. i hope i'm not swinging dan too much. >> i stopped him. i think i threw my shoulder out. >> reporter: as the last survivor was hoisted aboard, the pilot was already making plans to refuel as soon as they landed to head back out and search for two crew members still missing. >> let's go to cherry point and drop these people off, hot gas and come back. >> reporter: some survivors suffered injuries but none were life threatening. the body of one of the two missing crew members has now been found. the captain of the h.m.s. "bounty" is still missing. >> mason: david, how long can he be likely to survive in those waters, do you think? >> reporter: the cold water survival gear they were wearing is supposed to enable you to survive for about 15 hours. the ship sank in materially
morning hours so those 15 hours are about up. >> mason: david martin, are about up. >> mason: david martin, ,,,,,,,,,,,,
this is hayden. he's five years old. are about up. >> mason: david martin, ,,,,that's elizabeth. and that's skyler... and his mom, nancy. they're just a few of the californians who took it on themselves to send you a message about what they need to restore years of cuts to their schools. prop thirty-eight. thirty-eight raises billions in new revenue - bypasses sacramento
and sends every k through 12 dollar straight to our local schools... every school. for them. for all of us. vote yes on thirty-eight. >> mason: updating our top story, sandy is making landfall at the jersey shore near new york city. it's no longer a hurricane but it's still a dangerous storm. 14 states have declared statesor more than a million homes and sisses. flooding is a major concern. new york harbor could see a storm surge of up to 11 feet, enough to flood lower manhattan. gale warnings are up along the great lakes as sandy moves inland and as much as three feet of snow is predicted for the mountains of west virginia. financial markets in new york will be closed again tomorrow as will federal government offices in washington. and airlines have canceled more than 13,000 flights through tomorrow.

world's attention today was focused on a horrific tragedy in brazil, the death toll tonight at least 230 after a fast-moving fire broke out in a crowded nightclub. officials say too many people and too few exits turned the club into a death trap after a rock band's pyrotechnics apparently ignited the ceiling. many patrons were left unable to get out, overwhelmed by the smoke, and in some cases, the flames themselves much the circumstances are eerily similar to some other deadly nightclub fires the past several years, including one in this country. today's tragedy happened in the southern brazilen university town of santa maria. nbc's mike taibbi reports. >> reporter: the kiss nightclub was packed with the usual saturday night crowd when at 2:00 in the morning, a disaster. the ground floor was filled with smoke. club security initially blocked several emergency exits, thinking patrons were leaving without paying and that left only a few ways out.
in the ensuing panic, many victims were trampled, others died of smoke inhalation. witnesses told police the fire was sparked by a pyrotechnics show on stage, according to nick ravenskroft of itv news. >> the stunt on stage with the flare made the ceiling catch fire. >> reporter: whatever the precise cause, the fire spread incredibly quickly as the crowd struggled to find ways to safety. some clubgoers who did make it out, joined firemen and onlookers in their attempts to open new escape routes using sledge hammers and axes, but it was too late for many inside. does of victims were carried to arising ambulances, if they survived. santa maria's major trauma hospital was quickly overwhelmed. >> translator: the injured are scattered around the hospital. those waiting for news outside are desperate. >> reporter: they were desperate, too, outside the club, as more and more bodies of those who hadn't survived were laid on the ground. the numbers of the dead rose so
quickly that the city morgue ran out of room. the bodies of scores of victims were brought, instead, to a local gymnasium. eat merging details of this disaster, a packed club, too few escape route and a fire triggered by on-stage pyrotechnics brought to mind several other similar nightclub tragedies. there was a 2003 inferno in west warwick, rhode island's, station nightclub that claimed 100 victims much the 2004 blaze in ba when knows aires with 200 victims. but as brazil's president consoled relatives of the victims here, her country, soon to host the world cup and the olympics, remains in shock at one of its worst modern tragedies. mike taibbi, nbc news, los angeles. now to the middle east, an angry egyptian president took to the air waves tonight to announce tough new measures aimed at ending the violence that has claimed at least 50 lifts the last three days. the violent protests in cairo and several other industries
been the biggest challenge yet toz mohamed morsi's government. let's go to cairo for the latest. >> reporter: it is mohamed morsi's biggest test as president of this country. on one hand, an increasing security vacuum across the country, on the other, a political crisis with the country's political parties. tonight, in an address to the nation, he delivered a strong warping. even burying the dead in egypt is now deadly. today in port sayyid, a day after 37 people were killed in protests, thousands walked to mourn them. the grief and prayer turned into fear and chaos. this amateur video, which we couldn't independently ver, if i reportsedly shows the moment the clashes with police turned deadly. meantime, as thousands mourned in port said, others fought in cairo, alexandria and suez. tonight, the country's embattled president, mohamed morsi, addressed the nation, declaring a state of emergency and
imposing a curfew in the cities with the worst fighting. the country's powerful military is back on the street guarding government buildings recently attacked by protesters. and the military wants more power. today, the military requested the right to arrest civilians who break the law, this general said. two years ago, egypt's street full of optimism and hope as united people toppled a dictator. today, stifling tear gas and plumes of smoke filled the air of a divided country. egypt's police are struggling to cope with the protesters. they, too, have suffered losses and are angry. when the country's interior minister came today to pay his respects to fallen policemen, he was hackled by grieving colleagues and their families. and as it has for the past three days, night fall brought more violence. tonight, outside a luxury five-star cairo hotel. with a predictable-like precision, police charged the crowd, firing tear gas but
minutes later, protesters returned, lobbing stones and setting fires to block roads. there are few words president morsi can say to calm these protesters. this man tells me that the president must resign and a new constitution must be written. another says only protests work with a regime that kills its people. president mohamed morsi has invited members of the leading opposition political forces tomorrow for emergency talks on the way out. many people are hoping there will be a breakthrough that could end the four days of deadly violence that have engulfed the country. >> thank you. in this country, the weather remains a big concern for many people in the midwest, where a deep freeze is bringing snow, sleet and freezing rain. the weather channel's mike seidel is in davenport, iowa, tonight with the latest. mike, good evening to you. >> reporter: good evening, lester. it was an icy day across many part its of the midwest. the hardest hit areas were the roads and the airports. at chicago's o'hare, just over
200 flights have been canceled so far, but despite the ice, there wasn't a lot of it there wasn't many power outables. tonight, the temperatures on the way up that will change the freezing rain to rain in chicago in chicago and many areas, like it has here. monday, the snow, sleet and ice will head to the northeast during the day you reaching boston by late afternoon. any snow totals will be on the light side. but for millions that have been in the ice box, the jetstream is our friend. southwest winds from texas to the great lakes will produce a huge warmup. we could see our first 90-degree day in the lower 48 this year in deep south texas. temperatures elsewhere more than 20 to 25 degrees above average. subzero windchills will be replaced by highs in the 40s and 50s on monday. and by tuesday, d.c. cracks 60 and atlanta pushes 70. but many of us will get another shot of frigid air following this fall and that cold front will have lots of wind energy that will help to fire up some big thunderstorms, possibly severe, from houston and dallas to little rock and st. louis on tuesday.
there could be some tornadoes but more than likely, quite a bit of straight line wind damage. and then after that, the bottom falls out on temperatures. for example, lester, chicago will drop 45 degrees between tuesday and thursday. so enjoy the thaw while you can. back to you. >> all right, we will take what we can. mike seidel, thanks. national transportation safety board tonight says further examination of batteries on boeing's new 787 has yet to point to the cause of the january 7th fire on board a japan air lines jet at boston's logan airport. that fire followed days later by a smoking battery aboard another 787 in japan led to a worldwide grounding of the revolutionary new planes. lack of progress in both investigations has raised concerns the planes will remain grounded indefinitely. in washington, the battles over guns and immigration reform are taking center stage this week, as president obama pushes his second term agenda. nbc's peter alexander is at the white house and has more on that.
hi, peter. >> reporter: lester, good evening to you. the president isn't wasting in i time in his second term, tackling two of his top priorities. specifically on immigration, one democratic senator said measures formerly off the table are now back up for discussion. barely a week into his second term, president obama is preparing to dive into the contentious issue of immigration, with a major speech set for las vegas tuesday. the president is expected to push for improving border security you expanding the system for employers to verify their workers a legal status and perhaps most controversially, creating a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants. >> we can't go on forever with 11 million people living in this country in the shadows in an illegal status. >> we are committed to a comprehensive approach to finally in this country have an immigration law that we can live with. >> reporter: a bipartisan group of six seine stores planning to unveil its immigration reform proposals this week. last november, president obama won more than 70% of the latino vote, a new political reality
forcing some republicans to reconsider their past opposition. >> first of all, americans support it in poll after poll. secondly, latino voters expect t third, the democrats want it and fourth, republicans need it. >> reporter: senator marco rubio in a nevada newspaper today insisted illegal immigrants must earn their new citizenship. we can't round up millions of people and deport them but we also can't fix our broken immigration system if we provide incentives for people to come here illegally. also front and center, the battle over guns. president obama telling the new "republic" magazine that advocates of gun control have to do a little more listening than they do sometimes. asked if he has ever fired a gun, mr. obama said, up at camp david we do skeet shooting all the time, like jfk used to years ago. on "meet the press," former vice presidential candidate paul ryan referred to last month's newtown tragedy as a watershed moment. >> it's our worst nightmare, something like this happening. let's go beyond just this debate and make sure we get deeper.
what's our policy on mental illness? what's going on in our culture that produces this kind of thing? >> reporter: and for its part, congress will hold its first hearing on gun violence, lester, this wednesday. one other note, by the way, about the president's interview with the new "republic," one one week before the super bowl, the president weighing in on football, if he had a son, we have to think long and hard before letting him play to the game, referring to the violence in the sport. >> peter, thank you. still in washington, the education department is taking action to make sure disabled school children are not shut out from school sports programs. nbc's chief education correspondent rehema ellis has that story. >> reporter: it was a big week for 13-year-old owen grosser. get in there. >> reporter: sinking not one but two three-pointers the first time he stepped out onto the court this season. owen, an eighth grader, has down syndrome. disabled students like him already have the right to participate in school sports but this week, the department of
education released new guidelines on how to incorporate those students onto teams, something some cash-strapped schools have struggled with. >> we have needed more cooperation, more guidelines from the top. and we believe this is going to lead to some standardization and certainly more opportunity for these families and kids. >> reporter: some of the doe's suggestions are simple, a visual cue for hearing-impaired student who wants to run track, the elimination of the two-hand touch rule in swimming so a student with one arm can compete. but the recommendations also state when existing school programs cannot accommodate those with disabilities, the school district should create additional opportunities for those students, meaning, a new team. although some liken it to title ix, the department of education cautions against that comparison, saying these are guidelines, not a mandate. schools will not be required to dismantel an existing team because they don't have enough disabled students to field a comparable team.
>> we have been age to create one or two teams per school district, you're not going to find enough students in one school to necessarily start a team. >> push. push for the basket. >> reporter: adam mcwork, an eighth grader, has cerebral palsy, he lives outside atlanta, an area that has been successfully mainstreaming disabled students in sports for years. >> yes, sir. he used a walker to get around with and we didn't think that sports was something that he could do at all. >> reporter: now, he stands like every proud dad on the sidelines. >> my son scored his first goal in the final game, so excited about that the gym was so loud. we'd good time. shoot it, baby. >> reporter: something more families across the country may soon experience. >> oh, yeah. >> reporter: rehema ellis you nbc news, new york. when nightly news continues on this sunday, your money and the fees that merchants can now charge when you pay by credit card. later, the golden age club, friends for years pulled apart

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.

>> quick headlines. a deadly standoff in texas ends in a shootout with police. two officers were wounded while trying to serve a warrant on a murder suspect in the rio grande valley. the 29-year-old suspect was killed in a gun fight. jury deliberations resume in a separate story in jesse ventura's defamation
suit. ventura says chris kyle lied in his 2012 bestseller called "american sniper" about punching ventura in a bar, in 2006 remarks he made insulting navy seals. in a videotape before his death last year kyle says the story is true. he has passed away. >> it is a major blow to obamacare. the d.c. circuit court of appeals concluded yesterday the i.r.s. went too far in extending subsidies to those buying insurance through the federal run exchanges at healthcare.gov. you can only do them through state exchanges. the fate of obamacare may be in jeopardy but personal troubles with the exchange are still piling up across the country. our next guest says she was forced to get a policy under obamacare. but now what problems is she facing? charlene lake joins us live. good morning to you, charlene. >> good morning. how are you? >> okay. you thought you got a pretty good deal through
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.

>> a judge in virginia wrote an opinion today in favor, in favor of obamacare, saying getting health care from the state or federal government is the same as ordering from pizza versus dominoes. i'm not sure if i agree. their websites always work. >> it's so true. private businesses, when they go in business to sell stuff on-line, why do they always work? >> the big comparison was how big even shoe sales companies like zappos went through. >> one thing about michael bloomberg, when he wanted to get stuff done, it actually worked a lot of times in new york city and certainly at bloomberg tv. he is actually the head of your news today because he hopped on a flight. >> that's right. he got on a flight to go to tel aviv to prove that it's safe to fly there despite a new f.a.a. ban. he is ignoring that f.a.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
a destructive device but was released on bail on july 6. cops will not say if the case is connected to the search but say he was brought in regarding an ongoing investigation. that is a story we'll continue to watch. this next story will leave you shaking your head. listen to the 911 call made after a veteran realized that he was all alone and locked inside a v.a. clinic in florida. >> 911. 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 off. >> nice, huh? that is the voice of jeffrey dock. he said he went to his doctor for a prescription refill but ended up waiting three hours. he then figured out he was the only person inside that building. fortunately he had his phone on him. he whipped out that phone, recorded video walking around the lobby. >> here i am around the
v.a. and everybody has gone home. >> can you imagine? the v.a. has since issued an apology. dock says he's not angry. he's just disappointed. >> keep that straight, how are they going to keep the more important things straight? it's just an indication that there's still a lot more for them to do. >> the v.a. says it's working to make changes. >> a cat proving she really does have nine lives. this feline was found in washington state badly burned by the devastating wildfires we have been telling you about. the cat is now on the road to recovery. >> definitely burned. all of her pads are going to must have. the eyelids were crisp. >> the owners can't take care of her so she is now
going home with the woman who ended up rescuing her. such terrible wildfires taking place there. >> wildfire funding was proposed yesterday in the senate. >> how about the story of the guy left at the v.a.? how many times have you been waiting, you've been waiting for a doctor and you say to yourself, i think they forgot me? they forgot about me. >> he's right there. >> we didn't forget about maria molina. she's at 48th and 6th avenue with a preview of today's weather. >> good morning. here in the northeast we have a risk for some severe storms, especially across parts of northeastern pennsylvania up into portions of new england, including the state of maine. pretty widespread area across our region for the possibility of damaging winds from some of these storms. they are forecast to fire up late in the day. late afternoon, evening hours. here in new york city, we don't think storms are going to be rolling through
until late tonight. again, severe weather possible. temperature-wise, ahead of that storm system, 90 degrees for your high in new york city. you could reach the middle the 0's -- 90's in washington, d.c. across the plains, triple digits forecast for many areas across oklahoma and texas. factor in the humidity and it will feel even hotter not only across the plains, but take a look at new york city. what it's going to feel like when you head out the door, 93 degrees and upper the 90's possible, maybe even 1 00 degrees in d.c. brian, over to you. >> thanks, maria. 21 minutes before the top of the hour. here's what's happening in sports. two lawsuits just enough for the disgraced los angeles clippers owner donald sterling. he is now filing a fraud
lawsuit against the nba and his he is stranged wife. he is suing the wife over the sale of the former team to steve balmer and the nba over the antitrust laws. doc rivers says he will quit if sterling remains with the clippers. that franchise could fall apart again all because of donald sterling. >> the seattle seahawks top a new poll as the team to beat because they're young, good and strong. they round out the rest of the top five. the 49ers are up there, broncos remain there, the patriots are there. the new orleans saints. the raiders came in dead last. lebron james' return to cleveland did not do his neighbors any favors. hundreds packed the streets around his hometown of akron and his mansion. lebron sent them all a personal apology with
cupcakes. he says he's sorry for the chaos and hopes they enjoy the cherry cola flavored treats. >> that should make it better. >> cherry cola makes a cupcake? that changes everything. you ever seen that? >> way overdue. >> sounds delicious. meanwhile, 19 minutes before the top of the hour. then white flags replace american flags at the brooklyn bridge and nobody knows why or who did it. how in the world does this massive security breach happen? we are live at the bridge next. >> looks like a bleached american flag. >> one democrat says being in a union should be a civil right. really? do you agree with that? that debate coming up. ♪ ♪

a mystery surrounding one of the most famous landmarks in the country. who scaled the brooklyn bridge? took down the american flags and put up the white flags you see here instead? robert moses joins us live. good morning. everyone has a lot of questions when it comes to the flag swap here. >> reporter: elisabeth, good morning to you. a lot of questions and a lot of security concerns as well. the it would american flags are back in their rightful positions atop the towers here on the brooklyn bridge. police say the group responsible for this stunt planned it and may have had climbing experience. new yorkers did a double take yesterday when they saw those bleached flags that had replaced the usual ones. police say they have video showing a dpriewp of people walking -- a group of people walking across the bridge about 3:10 yesterday morning and then ten minutes later the light
illuminating the flag on the brooklyn flag went out. then the same thing happened to the flag on the manhattan tower. police say the perpetrators used aluminum pan to flash the lights. this morning police are still looking for the suspects. that is the latest live from manhattan tower. >> robert moses, thank you for that update. brian? >> 14 minutes before the top of the hour. should unionizing be a basic right? that is what one democrat is proposing in congress. keith ellison is introducing a bill making it easier for workers to sue companies who will not organize. you shouldn't be fired for expressing intent to support union activity.
here to discuss what this means for the worker, republican pete snider. do you believe congressman ellison is on the right track? >> this is ridiculous. the world is far from tranquil. our southern border is being overrun, and the democrats in congress want to make unionizing a civil right and gut our right it work laws? it's absolutely ridiculous. it will trash our economy. >> it's already illegal to fire workers if they say they want to unionize. the facts tell a different story. if you look what happened in michigan when they became a right to work state, they went up 21 places in the american economics institute ranging of business friendly areas, also the highest salaries, nonunion workers. >> that's spot on. study after study shows right to work states like my home state of virginia have lower unemployment, more manufacturing jobs. this is something that the left really would love to do. they would love to make
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

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,

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,

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.

that was listed to you in the marines. how about now? >> i got three dogs back home. they all listen perfectly fine. but when we went to the corps, they ran three or four dogs separately and he was one i wrote down. >> reporter: how were you reunited with him? >> as soon as i got out, i went through the senator's office and she got me in touch with all the right people and i put in adoption paperwork in 2011 and i finally found out he was available in april of this year. >> reporter: you said that you used facebook to get in touch with the dogs. a dog? >> definitely. facebook really helps out when you have people around the world, other soldiers. facebook definitely saved us. >> reporter: what are these dogs like at home? how are they different than when you're out on a patrol? >> now she gets to lay on the

>> 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
bridge. weird story. bill and i are here with you at the top of the hour when sales rep steve hatfield books at laquinta.com, he gets a ready for you alert the second his room is ready. so he knows exactly when he can prep for his presentation. and when steve is perfectly prepped, ya know what he brings? and that's how you'll increase market share. any questions? can i get an "a", steve? yes! three a's! amazing sales! he brings his a-game! la quinta inns and suites is ready for you, so you'll be ready for business. the ready for you alert, only at laquinta.com!

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."

1/2 hours sleep each night, you actually lived longer. >> wow. okay. the media circus surrounding lebron james to cleveland did not do his neighbors any favors. thousands packed around the streets of his mansion. what did lebron do? he send them all a personal apology with cupcakes. he says he's sorry for the chaos and hope they enjoy the cherry cola treat. >> it's still a good story when you go home. meanwhile, according to a new study published with the journal for activity and health, they asked the question, why are 70% of kids quitting sports before the age of 13? here is what they came up with. it's not about winning or losing. it's about having fun. yep. 81 specific states, some of the reason they played, because of the positions, because they can learn from making mistakes. they can like being around friends. those are the reasons they play sports. it's not to win. >> so cindy lauper is saying girls just want to have fun.
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
that's it for "special report." make it a great weekend. greta goes "on the record" right now. government contractors pretending to work and you are paying their salary. >> the whistle blower blowing the lid off obamacare right here "on the record." >> somebody has figured out how to a lot of money off of this deal to do nothing. >> a billion dollars. your money gone. poof. >> they would tell us to come in dressed professionally and to sit at our desk and act like we were working. >> and then: >> this is shameful under any circumstances a night mayor at the v.a. but will anyone land in prison. >> if these accusations are true, someone should be going to jail.
>> marine jailed in mexico. his desperate 911 call. >> i'm at the border of mexico right now. i crossed the border by accident and i have three guns in my truck. >> his mother goes "on the record." first though a whistle blower goes "on the record." she says $1.2 billion of your tax money was pay to obamacare workers who were told to pretend to work. she was one of those workers paid to do nothing. paula joins us for her first national tv interview. paulla, nice to see you. >> hi. >> paulla, tell me, where did you work? how long did you work there and what did you do? >> i worked for a company contracted by circo to helpful fill the they have have with centers for medicare and medicaid services. i worked there from early
october to just before thanksgiving in 2013. >> okay. in that time period, what did you see? i understand the contract was to process paper applications under obamacare. did you see that work being done? >> >> it was done in such a small scale. in the from months i was there i processed at best a dozen applications. most of the time we were sitting around doing nothing. >> that was the gist of it. >> did anybody say anything like why don't we have any work or why isn't anything being done? >> yes, i did. others did. early on we got a lot of excuses about the health care.gov site not working properly. once that was working properly, the case was still the same. as it is today as well as you are hearing from other employees that still work there. >> were they getting any
specific instructions employees about the work or why they didn't seem to have a high volume of work? they mostly alcoholicked it it -- chokd it up to system problems chocked it up to system problems. i have been a supporter of obamacare all along. my experience there was so disappointing and i exal contacted claire miscass kill's office because i wanted them to know what was going on out there and how i felt about that. >> what was the response from senator claire mccaskill's office. first of all what did you tell them and second of all what was the senator's response? >> i told them exactly what i had been saying all along, what i told channel 4 locally in st. louis and what i'm telling you now that we were sitting around every day doing nothing and
applications were not getting processed and questions were not getting answered about that. >> they forwarded me to subcommittee on oversight of committee budgets in washington where i spoke to someone about the situation there. >> we tried to get some information. cms said they were committed to working wither serco. they closely monitored the work that serco was doing. it doesn't say the quantity of work or ever on site to monitor. did you ever have any sense that cmf was on site monitoring what was being done or not done? >> well, in the short time i was there, they came once to my knowledge. but they never visited the site of the building that i worked on. >> i don't know how they can say they monitored the work
coming out of that building and supporting the knowing what i know and people that still work there. i want to say everybody who works in that building knows what what i'm saying is the truth. the people who came forward whether they chose to identify themselves or not are telling the truth as well. >> why did you leave? >> i imagine. >> why did you leave? >> why did i leave? because i was bored out of my mind. it was driving me crazy and i have a conscience. that's not what i signed up for. that's not what i wanted to work there for. i was excited to be a part of something that i supported and i couldn't have been more disappointed. >> why do you think this happened? why do you think that there is no work being done? >> well, as i said before, i think somebody figured out how to make a lot of money off of this thing, some way, somehow. i know there is a lot of crookery and corruption and self-gain these days, for all i know maybe our own
politicians are benefiting from that. i don't know. >> paulla, thank you for joining us. >> all right. thank you. >> and you won't believe this one. but there is new information tonight about the former top watchdog for the homeland security department. we recently told you about a blistering congressional report showing former dhs acting director altered and delayed investigations in order to help his pals. senior administration officials. now there is more disturbing question. is the whole watchdog system broken? "the washington examiner" susan crabtree joins us. >> thanks for having me. >> you wrote an article. explain what a watchdog is in the government. how does it work in the government? >> each agency, there are 73 different watchdogs that are attached to an agency. the will be in is that they have the same budget as the same agency, so they are not really independent. you would think that there is an act, 1978, that created these watchdogs after the watergate scandal. and they are supposed to act as the rooting out
corruption at the agency and be independent. they are getting their salary from the same higher ups that are from the whole budget. >> is it broken this watchdog system? >> well, the ethics experts and attorneys who have experience in these cases say definitely. they point to this case with charles edwards who had multiple allegations against him. and he actually was stepped aside just recently after the secretary jay johnson called on him to step aside. >> he was under investigation himself and hee j? >> that's exactly right. it seems what we have found is that the allegations against him langished at this group, the council for inspectors general for integrity and efficiency. that's the wash dog of the watchdog. we found it is actually pretty broken. we have sources telling us that the system doesn't work that these complaints against him languished for
years and years. especially. >> can think of anything more sick. >> watchdog in every single agency that at least in one agency we know that at least the one instance very helping his pals. that watchdog. then you have got for whatever reason, we now need to have watchdogs. we have a watchdog organization looking over the watchdog. the watchdog organization this watchdog looked other way because they didn't want -- i don't know why, they didn't do their job. why even have these watchdogs? >> that's why when you are the president and jay carney say the inspector general for the v.a. is going to get to the bottom of this i start to cringe a little bit. the system really is broken. the watchdog of the watchdog only meets, what i have been told, four times a year and lacks the tools and efforts really to look into this and do something about it. >> is sigy, are these full-time jobs? >> these are actually -- no,
different inspector generals from different agencies make up the cigi. they sit on the council. >> jury on the their own trials? >> their pier's trials. >> overseers see if they are doing the job is themselves. >> you can say that definitely they are piers. they have have the' transportation inspector general is looking into charles edwards' problems. it took a subcommittee investigation. it took the release of the report just last month to get him on administrative leave. for a while there, he was still acting and he had all these allegations piling up against him. >> and he is he is the watchdog. susan, thank you. and today a resignation in the wake of the veterans affairs health care scandal, the v.a. for secretary for health. one day after he and v.a. secretary eric shinseki were grilled by lawmakers. jennifer griffin is live at the pentagon. jennifer, why did he step
down? who is he and why did he step down? >> well, greta. a senior v.a. official says secretary shinseki demanded robert petzel's resignation. he was slated to retire thisser i don't. his retirement announced last september. his replacement is from the same pines v.a. medical center in illinois that came under fire this week for having secret wait lists for veterans. last september, we reported "on the record" petzel told it a congressional hearing he quote had no regrets when he learned veterans died of legionnaires diseases where he recommended bonuses for the hospital's drars. the two more administrators came forward. chief psychiatrist at the v.a. medical center in st. louis, he was removed from his job when he complained that psychiatrists treating veterans with ptsd were working only a few hours a
day, seeing half the patients they could. as patient suicides rose. >> they all got bonuses, you know. so that is the sad part. because, you know in reality not doing a good job but in relation it looks like we are. >> he was fired when he complained that his bosses were delaying life saving clone colon ososcopies to cut costs. >> i i was treated like a leper, how dare you attack me or say what you are saying. >> congressman jeff miller who is responsible for v.a. oversight said robert petzel's resignation is the pinnacle of political double speak since he only had a few more months on the job.
greta? radio accountability or show or something in between? joining us the political panel. john, is this resignation some form of accountability or, what? >> i think jennifer just laid out the case this is completely just for show. i think he had to go or go a little early after his performance this week before congress. you know, he was asked a simple question: would someone be fired if it were proven that they had manipulated these waiting lists and created a secret waiving list? >> apparently not if you are the watchdog at dhs. >> he couldn't answer that. he said i don't know if that would be the appropriate punishment or not. these people should be in jail. democratic senators on the panel saying why didn't you make any sentence republicans calling for it of the i.d. only has limited resource was. get in the other law enforcement agencies and
this is a nationwide problem. in this isn't isolated i understand as shinawatra then secy said the other day. you need as much help as they company get. >> neither gave impressive performance. >> sen seq.y. >> sen seq.y is not going anywhere for a while. >> why this. >> this move was part of. i was there at the hearing and went around and talked to people about what his fate is on capitol hill. people said they are billing to give him a chance. the problem is he has been there for some time and this has been happening end his. the buck has to stop some place. >> i am a ventricle. choose -- he was very popular. >> let him go back to active duty. >> he inherited a huge mess. awful i'm saying he has big
problems supporters up there. people really are looking for him to start showing some action here. they don't thism he has accepted stepped up to the plate yet. we will give shinseki to do their time. >> i heard kathleen sebelius rit away when things blew up. this is blowing up why is he asking for his head? >> he has the military brass as well. this week i spoke with the current army chief ray odierno. he stood up for him and strongly defended him and said there are problems at the v.a. >> that's like the watchdog's watchdog standing up for the watchdog. he has a very distinguished military career. but you know the fact that the military is standing up for him. i mean, just look at this. this is his job. >> what strikes me about this is something john said, the bipartisan nature of these attacks. these aren't just republicans. he they are not just red state democrats worried about re-election.
this is balloon that. >> even more question why is he still there? >> it wases white house worried. it comes on the heels of the irs scandal and obamacare rollout it speaks to wows official. they don't. the resignation is north going to do the trick. >> i know republicans and democrats both are deeply disturbed by this but the fact that people are not calling for his head when he sad all these years and people have died under. this not just that they have had to sit at their computer trying to log on for three months. people died. >> >> think were citing memos back to 2010. shuffling people around. >> if he knew about it if he did why didn't he do anything about it. >> 2013 a letter was sent to
president obama yesterday the chief of staff was asked why didn't you respond to this? why did you ignore it? >> they went easier on shinseki yesterday than i saw at any of the hearings where kathleen sebelius was defending the health carrollout. like you say you are talking about people who died. >> panel, stay with us. >> let's all go off-the-record for a minute. washington, d.c. is the city of no consequences. i have never seen anything like it. theist targets the tea party spends $100 million on furniture, hands out millions to irs employees who owe back taxes. no consequences. hhs 1.2 billion-dollar contract to it a company serco. whistle blower says they aren't actually doing any work but no consequences. capitol hill, lots and lots of committees. they are supposed to monitor all these agencies to make sure bad things don't happen. that's almost laughable. lots of hearings, no consequences.
or in the case of the v.a., lives are lost. anyone responsible? anyone know anything? v.a. chief eric shinseki after it is exposed says is he mad as hell and president obama is angry. so what if he is mad as hell or angry. that doesn't do any of you was god. each agency has a watchdog. even the watchdogs are suspect. they seem to looked other way. former edwards was under investigation for doing dastardly thing. no one owes anyone anything. no one takes responsibility,ens can sequences, admit it insane asylum. barbara walters and letterman talking barbara lieu ebb ski. call for help before he

lewenski's new book is me and my big mouth. >> that was then and this is what letterman and walters are saying about lewenski now. >> i like monica. i felt that she has never had the chance to move on. >> >> when she came back and there was ininterview or article about her. says she can't get a job. i started to feel bad because myself and other people with shows like this made relentless jokes about the poor woman. she was 21. >> she is 40 now. >> i was thinking oh lord the violence in the elevator. is it funny because they're just famous or overall with some perspective do you realize this is a sad human situation back with our political panel. >> these are are celebrities getting soft in their old age. date letterman has h. has said bad things about an
awful lot of people. >> like the time that sarah palin took her 14-year-old daughter to the yankees game and he said one awkward moment for sarah palin at the yankees game her daughter was knocked up by alex rodriguez and her daughter was 14. he actually was mistaken. he thought he was talking about the older one apparently. he hasn't apologized for that one. >> no, and i don't think he will. >> lewenski is unique here in that unlike august the other characters in the situation that happened with her and president clinton. they have all been able to move on, including the woman who leaked the taped phone calls. all these people have been able to lead their lives. she has been frozen in time. she was victimized by the whole thing. she was very young, just in her early 20's and her life just basically stopped point was a good one. >> it's a little bit late. >> career. >> the clintons are all doing great.
everyone else is doing fine. >> she was chasing a story. she wanted a scoop. >> now she is pretending -- >> -- barbara walters didn't mock her. >> she didn't make cruel jokes not funny, like they are insulting some young girl to make them feel better about themselves who has been in this situation. obviously she was of legal age. when you step back and think about that anywhere in society a 50-some-year-old man preying on a college student practically. >> which monica doesn't say. she says they were two consenting adults. she's has handled it all rather gracefully in this last interview. she has not blaming anybody. it's true though that everyone else got something out of the deal except her. she stopped in time she was offered a good deal of money. >> she wrote a book. she certainly made the
rounds for herself. >> what about letterman? i like suddenly, all of a sudden now he suddenly sees that maybe he was nasty. >> you have seen some of that. craig had a great monologue in recent years. even celebrities, even brittany spears is a human being and sometimes we should -- really a human moment very human moment where he said i was an alcoholic and drunk and going through these problems maybe we should think about this and be funny and not just mean to people. >> i would like to see him apologize to the sarah palin jokes. >> that was horrible to willow. she was 14. making cracks about the older daughter not being married at the time he was not married to the mother of his child. things going on on the side we learned later. is he is no angel. >> panel, stay with us. a u.s. marine jailed in mexico. you will hear the call and hear from the marine's

combat in afghanistan when he left in 2012. he has been moved. they could not protect him. he moved him to a federal penitentiary there he is under constant surveillance and guard. he feels safer. that may be why he is finally able to relax a little bit and let some of the details come out sphblf when is the next time or first time is he supposed to be in court? it's just sort of languishing -- >> -- he has never been in court. >> since march 3 is 1st. does he have a court date? >> >> no. all we have is our first formal proceeding on may 28th. and that's the scheduled date where the border officials give their statement to the judge. the customs agent and the mexican military who first encountered andrew that night.

new information, direct ties between al qaeda and boko haram the terrorist group holding almost 300 school girls hostage. "the weekly standard" reveal the documents usama bin laden's house senior al qaeda leaders were in direct
contact with boko haram during the same time secretary of state hillary clinton. they refused onto put boko haram on the official list of foreign terrorist groups and our political panel is back. jason reilly, the washington examiner susan ferrechio. john, this was your publication that wrote. this why wasn't this group put on the terrorist list? >> no one really knows. tom wreath the story for us. he has great sources. other reported. other national security reporters places like the "the washington post" reported that bin laden's own files contradicted boko haram to senior al qaeda people the question is why didn't they put them on the terrorist list. they were pressured to do so by the doj, the fbi and many others and josh rogan reporting at the daily beast has indicated is that they didn't want to offend the local government. for some reason the local government didn't want them on thattist. will i'm not sure about the
internal dynamics of politics but that is the with excuse for why they didn't do it. >> they wanted to keep the influence of this group kind of a lower level. declaring them a terrorist organization that it would somehow elevate them and make it harder for the nigerian government to get rid of the problem. but, of course, it clearly didn't do any good. >> what the state department also isn't saying is that not putting them on that lists will set a narrative that the owe become that administration was put up to the election. al qaeda is on the run are the terrorists are on the run. when you are adding to it a terrorist list though, it doesn't help that narrative. the white house had an inventive there to play down this group, to play down the impact of this group i don't think the administration will push back very hard. >> going to be harder if hillary clinton disadz to
become a presidential candidate to distance herself from these problems that seem to be cropping up from her tenure at the state department. from what i hear this may have been a decision made just underneath her whether to declare this a terrorist organization. >> it says here in the article the owe boom that administration was sitting on files that showed that al qaeda's senior leadership had been in direct contact with the group. sharing it with the state department? >> we don't know. >> she could have some kind of excuse for her rationale here. it was her state department, the fact that they weren't declared a terrorist organization was under her watch. >> explain that. >> she will have to explain it as this stuff comes trickling out, it really just points the niddle right at her all part of one gig terrorist, jihadist think that's happening in africa. she clearly understood there's what a big problem there.
>> free bank accounts and things like that that can be used now. and actually hillary clinton she did label a few people in the organization like the head of it as a terrorist and we could take certain actions against them. use certain tools under the patriot act for espionage against these people. again, it was group 2013 on the terrorist list. we have been able to use these tools since then didn't stop the kidnapping of all these girls unfortunately. >> panel, thank you. >> here is what is being hard out right now. senior executive editor trending right now. there is more news about jill abramson. backs out of one commencement. another one backs out.

rnc taking on actress eva loan gore i can't. latino victory project claiming it does not support
latino candace. only democratic ones. rnc priebus joins us. good to see you. >> good to see you too. >> blasted the actress. totally bogus organization. here's the thing. they started out and say we want the political landscape to match the identities and reflect the realities of the american people. great. they say they are nonpartisan organization. okay. then you start looking at who is in charge of this organization. well, okay. eve longoria was the co-chair of barack obama's campaign in 2012. the other co-chair, a finance chair of the dnc. okay. put that away in the back of your mind. doing interviews on tv with the dnc logo behind his head sometimes i do interviews behind head rnc logo this move forward and say we are going to endorse five candidates all democrats. turns out one of their endorse. s is charlie crist who is running against the first
latino lieutenant governor as a ticket, you know, in florida, that florida has ever had with a hispanic as the lt. governor in florida. >> so they are partisan. not really name partisan. >> would you be content or happy if they didn't call themselves nonpartisan? >> yeah, here is what we are doing. at the republican national committee and i think republicans out there in general, just kind of sick and tired of our party sitting around and doing nothing about the fact when people are purposefully and very openly lying about what they are doing. putting front groups out in front of entire country. claiming that they are for everybody. when, in fact, it's just a democrat front group. look. do you think they mentioned in their releaseds and in their documents the fact that the only two hispanic governors in hurricane happen to be republicans and martinez in mexico and brian sandovol in nevada? did they mention the two
most popular hispanic politicians in our country right now which is ted cruz and marco rubio? no. >> why is it this is a part san group. eva longoria long time democrat. assume she is a democrat and not going to promote. >> why is it that the democratic party seems to have the lock on the latino vote? >> look, that goes back to what we have said as the republican party. we have tone gauge in a long-term year around operation to engage in hispanic, african-american, and asian communities across the can country. >> are you doing that? >> we are. >> what are you doing? >> so we are putting out a field organization in every single community across the country. on a four year basis across the country for all four years. and part of the problem is the republican party has become a party nationally that shows up about oncer four years, five months before an election. this is the entire basis of our growth and opportunity project, that we put together last year.
in fact, today i was in philadelphia announcing hispanic advisory counsel still in philadelphia and something we haven't done enough of. but what i'm tired of and i think a lot of people are tired of are these sort of bogus organizations that pop up and they claim they are nonpartisan. they file as a c 4. under the irs code and then they go and do interviews in the studio of the dnc. >> always nice to he see you sir. >> thank you, greta. >> star studded salute to barbara walters as the legend retires. walters is officially retiring. leaving herr co-hosting job on "the view." today it a parade of. >> please welcome diane sawyer, robin roberts. spencer, elizabeth vargas. debra roberts. >> this is my legacy. these are my legacy and i
thank you all. >> and they end of the show barbara saying goodbye. well, sort of. >> so now having had this amazing career, how can i just walk away and say goodbye? this way. from the bottom of my heart to all of you with whom i have worked and to all of you who have watched and been at my side for so many years, i can say thank you, thank you. but who knows what the future brings. maybe instead of goodbye i should say i will be in tow, which in french means see you later. so i will be in tow. >> by the way i don't think barbara is really going away. i think she just wanted to have a party. she will be "the view's" executive producer. in 2009 we paid a visit to barbara in her dressing room at "the view."
>> it gives you a feeling about yourself. >> that gives you a feeling about your career. i never thought i would be in front of a camera. when i think of the people that i have met because i have interviewed every president, i was going to say every president since abraham lincoln since that's not true, since richard nixon and every world leader and so on. what a blessed life i have had and never expected it to happen. it was in great part by chance. >> and, of course, we wish barbara a very happy retirement even if it's only a few minutes. the cat that's become a national hero but saving a child from the dog is only act one. wait until you see what the cat is doing now. that's next. life less complicated. it's about people.

"fox & friends" starts now. >> hello everyone. good morning. today is wednesday, the 6th of august, 2014. i'm anna kooiman in for elisabeth hasselbeck. a fox news alert. a wife and mother missing for two weeks found dead. this morning the latest details from the investigation. >> meanwhile, remember when our president declared the war in afghanistan over? >> the bottom line is it's time to turn the page after a decade in which so much of our foreign policy was focused on the wars in afghanistan and iraq. >> really? now it looks like the terrorists heard him loud and clearly and attacked the victim, a u.s. army general. what this says about president obama's foreign
policy. straight ahead. >> in a few hours a man accused of deserting the military will face questions about what happened. but there is a good chance bowe bergdahl may say nothing at all. good morning. mornings are better with friends. happy to have you here. >> you're watching "fox & friends," that's a great way to begin your day. >> thank you, don king. welcome to the big telecast live from new york city. brian and elisabeth off and in their place once again, just like yesterday, anna and peter. >> good morning. we're going to be starting our day off with the fittest people on the planet from cross fit. these people are celebrities in their own right. they are going to be racing across our plaza on their hands in a handstand. they are trying to get us in on the action. >> cross fit not so fit. also we're going to hear prosecute sean hannity in the program -- hear from sean hannity. he's been in israel. is the cease-fire holding?
>> the results coming in from primaries in four states. >> one of them my home state of kansas where the incumbent pat roberts fended off a tea party challenger. joining us from d.c. with the details is peter doocy. >> the two most prominent republicans in kansas who were in danger of losing their jobs in last night's primaries aren't going anywhere for now. the governor sam brownback easily defeated challenger jennifer winn and three-term incumbent senator pat roberts easily beat the tea party backed dr. milton wolf by more than 19,000 votes, 48% to 41%. roberts is now saying different parts of the party are going to have to come together if the g.o.p. wants to take over the senate. >> unit i don't see must happen if we are to keep kansas red. it must happen if we are going to defeat the obama
agenda and send harry reid packing. >> the roberts victory last night means that this cycle, senate incumbents have now won in kansas, mississippi, kentucky, south carolina and texas. but with the michigan results in, another house republican has fallen. the tea party backed carry bentivolio lost outnumbering two to one in michigan's 11th house district. pentivolio joins eric cantor. john dingell who is retiring saw his wife debby win the michigan primary for his seat. that is the seat dingell won in a 1955 special election when his father who served that district for two decades died.
>> i guess they don't have term limits this. peter doocy, live in washington, thank you very much. four minutes after the top of the hour. this morning a u.s. army general murdered, killed in an insider attack in afghanistan. somebody dressed as an afghan soldier opened fire at a group of people at a military academy near kabul killing major general harold greene and wounding 15 others. greene is the highest ranking american killed in combat since vietnam, something like that. this morning the president's abandonment of afghanistan coming under fire. pete hegseth is the c.e.o. of concerned veterans for america, also a veteran of the iraq and afghanistan wars. he joins us live. what do you think? >> when you lose someone of that stature, of that rank, it affects everybody. you feel like a general is invincible. the training mission is dangerous. it's an insider attack, a
very concerted tactic the taliban has used. when i was in afghanistan from 2011 to 12 there was a big surge in insider attacks. it does two things. it erodes the trust. it creates the headlines you see in "the new york times" today, is this mission worth it? should we stay? the taliban knows this. we underestimate our enemy time and time again. they want to get at the heart of our will and heart of our commitment. an attack like this does that. >> does this make the taliban seem like they are chasing us out of afghanistan. pef announced our -- we've announced their withdrawal. is this them trying to say it is because of us? >> sure. this is to create a perception that they are the wave of the future. the americans on the way out. that is what they do at -- with these members of the afghan military who are targeted to say americans are on the way out. we have the time, the
americans have the wawps. they're -- they have the watches. you better side with us or your families at risk. >> you were talking about the demoralization of our troops. now we have a general murdered by the taliban forces. the president didn't speak about that yesterday. what does that say to the troops? >> reenforces how detached he is from this conflict. the war in afghanistan, the one he called the good war, the one he was going to focus on as opposed to the iraq war, the troops have felt the fact it has been about withdrawal more than success from the beginning. that is what you're seeing in athe taliban is exploiting that perception to make it look like americans are on the way out and they are the future. >> the president of the united states did make comments yesterday, just not about this. he was talking about the africa summit. the white house apparently has briefed the president and now there is going to be an investigation or something like that.
but here is the president just a couple of months ago in may essentially washing his hands of the whole war thing. >> the bottom line is it's time to turn the page on more than a decade in which so much of our foreign policy was focused on the wars in afghanistan and iraq. >> this is a big touchdown for the enemy. >> that's right. turn the page. we don't get to turn the page if the enemy doesn't. the taliban hasn't turned the page. al qaeda, isis are not turning the page. they are redoubling their efforts because they have identified we are retreating, we don't care, we're not invested in the outcome. you've got islamists on the march, the taliban really controlling the countryside. what folks don't understand is if we leave afghanistan we're going to create another environment where the afghan army or afghan government. doesn't mean we stale together but following through on an investment you made is an important thing for the legacy of our troops, the commitment and security of our country. >> this is a blow to the
advisor-adviseee relationship we've got going on. pete hegseth from concerned veterans for america, thank you. >> it looks as if later today there is a good possibility that bowe bergdahl, the guy who went missing while serving back in 2009 over in afghanistan, we know he walked off post, we know his platoon mates say he was a deserter. and nonetheless, that's an image that was released by his attorney yesterday. his attorney says mr. bowe bergdahl is mentally ready to answer questions. >> it looks like life is pretty good for bowe bergdahl. from this image here to seeing the image of him preemg for -- preparing for the hearing with his attorney. it looks like he gained weight. they say he's mentally ready. what if he does not speak at all? what if he takes the fifth? is that in his best interest? >> under the code of military justice there is a greater right to attack the
fifth. they get a better so-called miranda right than civilians do in america. yesterday on "the five" it was indicated he might do that. let's listen in. >> i don't see any incentive for sergeant bergdahl to cooperate, participate. i expect we're going to see more kind of a lois lerner take the fifth not give the information because he is the worst witness against himself. if he doesn't say anything, he remains on active duty, in good standing, able to get a pension and continue to serve -- >> if he's not convicted. >> i don't particularly agree with kimberly. she is a great lawyer but on this issue i think there are attorneys taking the position that somehow -- and he hasn't indicated but engt best tactic -- but i think the bestactic is he was somehow confused and mentally ill. i think taking kind of a strong approach -- he said it in print, how do you put someone in jail after he has been jailed for five
years by the taliban? instead of taking this equitable approach that somehow his client is the victim here, so i think that there will be a robust defense and that he will cooperate the best that he possibly can in telling his story, even if it doesn't jibe with the facts that have been exposed back in the early army investigations. >> you would, peter, expect bowe bergdahl will go ahead and explain it all and they'll discount it to the fog war or something like that? but for his attorney to say, you know, he was being held for five years. that should count as something, that's his sentence. what about that guy is, to many americans, a deserter, a traitor. >> people died looking for him. >> these are all true. in speaking about the tactics, i do not believe there will be a fifth amendment defense here. he will not stand on his rights. they will come up with a version of what occurred that is in his best interest and skewed in terms of his own mental
condition at the time it took place and thereafter. this will be an interesting passion play in that sense. this will be a dramatic story that will be heard today. we won't hear it for awhile but they will come up with an interesting story to grab the attention of the army and eventually the white house, because that's the audience. the white house is going to dictate what happens to bowe bergdahl going forward. >> let's not forget he was held in a cage for some period of time but there were rots of fraternizing with them -- there were reports of fraternizing with them. other stories making headlines developing overnight, heather nauert joins us for those. >> i've got another story about a scare in the air. terrifying moments on a united airlines flight packed with 200 passengers. a fire breaks out on that plane and look at this picture taken by a passenger. there was a fire fighter inside the plane. we don't see these kinds of
pictures often. this flight was headed to brussels from newark, new jersey, when the pilot was forced to make an emergency landing in canada. no one was hurt and no word on what caused that fire. a tragic update on a story we have followed extensively here at fox. the oregon mother who mysteriously vanished while she was running errands two weeks ago has been found as dead. authorities discovered jennifer huston's body near her s.u.v. in a wooded area about 25 miles from her house. >> we do not suspect foul play at this time and there is nothing to suggest that the public should be alarmed. >> just before the 38-year-old disappeared she withdrew money prt bank, she -- money prt bank, bought snacks and sleeping pills and filled up her gas tank. she leaves behind her husband and two young sons. today closing arguments begin in the so-called porch shooting trial. before that case goes to a
jury, theodore wafer spent two days on the stand and tried to convince a detroit jury that he shot an unarmed teenager in self-defense when she showed up on his front porch. listen to this. >> i didn't want to be a victim. i opened the door all the way as much as i could. then as soon as i did that, this person came up to the side of my house so fast, i raised the gun and shot this poor girl. >> some are comparing the case to the case of trayvon martin. that was the teenager shot and killed in florida in 2012 by george zimmerman, that happening in detroit. >> a beautiful home meets an ugly ending. the moment a powerful mudslide destroyed this house is all caught on camera. look at this.
the family heard a noise right before the home was shoved off its foundation. thank goodness for that, because they heard that they were able to escape that house. this happened in the up scale neighborhood in north salt lake, utah. it was a massive 400-foot wide hole now left in that hillside. experts fear more mudslides are on the way and that ground is unstable. those are your headlines. that happening in salt lake. a lot of folks nervous after that. >> a fox news alert now. trouble at the airports as ebola fears spread around the world. this morning one airline already canceling flights. british airways will no longer fly to the affected african area. dr. marc siegel live at jfk international airport. good morning. >> good morning. i'm here at john f. kennedy international airport terminal 4 where international arrivals and
departures including flights to and from west africa. the centers for disease control prevention has 20 quarantine stations around the country including one here in this terminal. i spoke to dr. steve monroe, who is the deputy director of c.d.c. for emerging infectious diseases and he says the first line of defense is to try to control the outbreak in the country where it started. >> one of the things we are doing is sending some of our staff to the countries that are affected to help them with their exit screening procedures to try to identify sick people before they get on an airplane and to also identify people by questionnaire who may have had one of these high-risk expoa shiewrs, that is a known exposure to a patient or to their body fluid. >> the next line of defense is at this airport where the c.d.c. can get a call from a plane and meet the
plane on landing, bring an ambulance and take the patient right to a hospital or they can use these quarantine stations to detain patients. peter, they have a legal right to detain patients if they have a contagious disease that could be deadly like ebola. then c.d.c. will sometimes bring them right into the quarantine station. let's watch dr. steve monroe talk about the initial screen. >> as a part of that initial screen, they might try to assess where the person came from, what they might have potentially been exposed to and how sick they are. how symptomatic they are when they get off the plane. there are a small number of diseases for which c.d.c. does have authority to order somebody into isolation and prevent them from entering the country. >> dr. monroe says, by the way, that they can make a risk assessment either by phone or in person and decide that the person didn't come into contact with a disease like ebola. then they let them go and they don't detain them.
guys? >> dr. segal, the main line of defense is the people at the airport where they take off from or here look at somebody and if they have a fever, then they start to ask some questions. but if they don't have a fever, keep in mind the incubation period can be three weeks, there is a real good possibility somebody with ebola could walk right in and not develop it for another two weeks and then wind up in an e.r. somewhere. >> that is a very good point and they're doing surveillance in the countries where they're leaving from. they're actually in west africa now trying to figure out who has this problem. it is after you leave the airport you find you have symptoms, then you call the c.d.c., they bring you right back to the quarantine station here. >> we got e-mails from viewer. kimberly asks is there a way to screen people for the virus before they get on a plane? >> first of all, you're not going to get it on a plane. you're not going to get it by touching somebody or if
they're sweaty. you're not going to get it that way. but if they have a fever or flu-like symptoms, that is when they are contagious and that is when the c.d.c. has to be notified. 150 times last year the c.d.c. was notified by an airplane while in the air. >> dr. segal, steve answered this but this viewer linda is asking what is incubation period exactly? how many are coming to the u.s. sick but showing no symptoms yet? >> the incubation period is 7 to 21 days. this is a very smart period. this could be a problem. i want to emphasize with only 1,500 cases approximately in west africa if you're sick with flu-like symptoms it is extremely unlikely you have ebola unless you were in contact with a patient who had it. >> great point. dr. marc siegel live out of jfk where they have got a quarantine area, one of 20 airports in the united states. sir, thank you very much. >> we're going to be in a quarantine area later today, steve.

that landed in that community literally hit roit where a -- right where a housing unit was. this is a life they live everyday. we went fo a town and while we were there kids can't play outside. they have to play in an inside playground, four to five bunkers surrounding the whole thing. we saw rockets covered at the police station. we went to the center of the mayor of cyrot and spent a lot of time seeing what life is like on a daily basis. in the last ten years, to give people context of what goes on in those border towns, 10,000 rockets in ten years. i think that is the untold story of life in israel for the average person. one thing that i did learn today, in fact, we know that negotiations are going on in egypt at this very hour to extend the cease-fire possibly even longer than it is expected to go on. >> that's good news. i understand you also at one point you were talking
about how life goes on. you were near a playground. imagine if you're a parent and you want to send your kids outside to play but you don't know if a rocket is going to go off in the playground, what do you do? >> inside the playground you have young kids, older kids, some as old as 16. they've got a soccer field, basketball courts, air hockey and ping-pong tables. i spent some time playing with a lot of the kids. they can play outdoors. and i would ask the parents, because i'm thinking 10,000 rockets in ten years, not a life i would want to live myself. i asked them why do you stay? the answer was we are not going to be forced out of our home out of terror. i'm not sure i would make the same decision but that was the universal answer i got from every parent. interestingly, some of the money that came to build that facility came to estee lauder who heard about the town and the fact that the
kids didn't have a place to play and so made a significant donation for that playground. >> thank you, sean hannity, live from jerusalem where he is reporting live. the cease-fire is holding. >> steve, one last thing: where we are at the temple, you're talking about the center of mono theistic religion. you have the arrest -- you have the armenian quarter, christian quarter. tonight we will bring you through the wall of the gates, the holy selpucher, the place where it is believed jesus was buried rising from the dead, if you're a christian. and a lot of, all these significant religious sites are where we are which brings into context a lot of battle that goes on and

personnel, including eight americans. major green was 55 years old. he leaves behind a wife and two children. sergeant beau bergdahl hours away from facing army investigators. his lawyer says he's mentally ready to answer questions and will be as cooperative as possible. a new picture released by his attorney shows him right here. looks pretty healthy as he prepares to sit down with an army general looking at the circumstances of his 2009 disappearance in afghanistan. fellow soldiers accused him of deserting his post. this questioning comes three months after he was traded for five taliban prisoners. deadly ebola virus is now spreading as new cases are now reported in nigeria. airports are become the first line of defense by stepping up screening. health screenings at that. a flight at new york jfk airport was held after a passenger fell ill. cdc officials quickly ruling out

ineffective foreign policy of any modern presidency until now for many, but we're not going to get into the until now business. jimmy carter and former president of ireland, a woman named mary robinson, have written an op ed in foreign policy magazine and what they're doing is they want the united states to recognize hamas, which is a terrorist organization, to the exclusion of israel, which has been our ally for decades. so jimmy carter says we've got to recognize the terrorists. >> yeah. let's read an excerpt for our viewers from this. it says, the united states and e.u. should recognize hamas is not just a military, but also a political force. hamas cannot be wished away nor will it cooperate in its own demise. only by recognizing its legitimacy as a political actor, one that represents a substantial portion of the palestinian people can the west begin to provide the right incentive for hamas to lay down
its weapons. so peter, legit mazing hamas, the terrorist organization, is this going to embolden them and our other adversaryies? >> absolutely. yes. you make a good point in asking that question. the legitimacy of a terrorist organization is always in question. so for a former president to say it needs to be legit mazed as a political actor in the world, along with other states, that's a huge, huge issue, especially when we heard sean hannity talking earlier today about 10,000 missiles being hurled into israel over this ten-year period in this area that he was in and now a president saying oh, no, let's recognize hamas. recognized by the u.s. as a terrorist organization. >> charles krauthammer was on the channel last night trying o explain why some clueless americans feel that way about
hamas. here he is with bill o'reilly. >> i would draw a sharp distinction between the european sympathizers and the american ones. when it comes to europe, i think the overwhelming factor is raw native, deep seated anti-semitism. this is 2,000-year-old anti-semitism. in the united states, it is very different. anti-semitism is not a major factor here. of all the countries that the jews have lived in in 2,000 years, this is the most tolerant, friendly, loving country that the jews have ever known. what i think is the most important factor here is shear, raw, ignorance. they have no idea what hamas is. all that you said, they have no idea, for example, that there is no occupation in gaza. you'll hear them talk about gaza being occupied. the israelis left in 2005. they tore out their settlements. there is not a settler. there is not a soldier, there is
not a jew left in gaza. do any of these people know it? no. are they aware of the fact that hamas' charter calls not just for the destruction of israel, but for the killing of jews everywhere in the world? this is an openly genocidal organization. >> and how can you negotiate with them when they play by their own rules? remember the cease fire we just had last week and the israelis were going into the markets and they're stocking up on supplies, thinking the coast is clear because of the cease fire, and all of a sudden, boom. they're not playing by the rules. sean hannity is on the ground in israel at this hour. he's been talking with residents there and seeing what they're dealing with, exploring an indoor playground/bomb shelter in israel. look at this. >> in the last ten years, just to give people some context of what goes on in those border towns with gaza, 10,000 rockets in ten years. i think that's the untold story of life in israel for the average person. we do know that negotiations are
going on in egypt at this very hour to extend the cease fire possibly even longer than it's expected to go on. >> here the architect wanted to have a big merry go round, like the one you see in disney world and big parks because it's nice. but then by the way, i think the merry go round was the very first thing the architect put on paper. but then the ideas came and the ideas had to approve everything and they saw the plans and said sorry, you can not have a merry go round and we said why? this is the nicest thing for a kid with the lights and horses and music. they said there is only one problem. it takes 25 seconds to stop a merry go round. they only have 15 seconds to run for coverment end of story. >> when the air raid sirens go off, they only have 15 seconds and that's why they have to build indoor playgrounds for the kids. >> to imagine a child's activity is limited by the time it takes to get to a bomb shelter, that's
staggering and we see anti-semitism is rising around the world. so that's why it's surprising to hear president carter speaking out so forcefully on behalf of hamas being recognized as a legitimate political actor. >> which he has supported in the past as well. >> incredible. >> it's currentsly 7:11 here in new york city. we've got a fox news alert for you. a wife and mother missing for weeks, that woman, found dead. authorities discovered the body yesterday near her suv in a remote wooded area 25 miles from her house. what happened to jennifer huston? ainsley earhart is here with the latest details on the investigation. >> thank you. the cause of the death isn't released yet. detectives are still processing the scene, but police say it does not look like there was a crash or anyone else involved. >> there is nothing to suggest that the public should be alarm
ed. >> the person who owns that land spotted jennifer's suv on his private property about an eighth of a mile from his house. then he told his wife about seeing a lexus on their land. >> i said, what color is it? he said green. i said, dark green? and i knew right then. >> police found the 38-year-old's body 50 feet away from that green suv. she was wearing the same clothes that she had on when she vanished on july 24. the mother of two disappeared that day while she was running errands. she took out 100 bucks from the bank, she filled up her car, bought some snacks and then some sleeping pills at a local drugstore. minutes later, her cell phone was turned off and the battery was not dead, according to police. her father and her husband joined us on "fox & friends" on monday speaking out about their desperate search and they were clearly exhausted. >> we're just graping at straws. any time we hear about a sighting or something, we're all
over it. once or twice we've jumped in the car and ran somewhere we thought a vehicle was seen at. >> the family has now asked for privacy in order to grieve and to process their loss. jennifer leaves behind her husband and her two boys, ages six and two. back to you, anna. >> all right. thank you so much. a tragic end to that story. 13 minutes after the hour. in a few hours, closing arguments are set to begin in the so-called porch shooting trial. before the case goes to the jury. theodore waiver tried to convince a jury he shot an unarmed teen-ager in self-defense when she showed up in her porch last year. >> i didn't want to be a victim. i opened the door all the way, as much as i could. then as soon as i did that, this person came out from the side of my house so fast, i raised the gun and shot.
this poor girl. >> this case raising controversy. some drawing parallels between her and trayvon martin. is that a fair comparison? let's ask our legal experts. good morning. thanks for being with us. >> good morning. >> i'll start with you, what are the differences between these two cases? >> the difference is this defendant was in his home. >> okay. he wasn't outside or walking around a housing complex. two, this was a teen-ager and it was a woman who was knocking on his door, who was look for help as she had been in a car accident. also what is different in this case is we don't know a this is ha high crime neighborhood. he testified about an incident where there was a car that was hit with a paint ball after the tigers lost a game. that to me is not indicative nor is it consistent with a high crime neighborhood and he was
not a victim of prior break-ins. >> eric, what we do know is she was screaming, she was drunk. is there a reasonable fear this man may have had for his life because in order to take a life, you have to have fear for your own life? >> we're not sure he had a reasonable fear. however, the facts are still that it was 4 a.m he stated that he was asleep and he was startled, which any one of us if someone is banging on your door at 4:00 a.m., you would automatically be alarmed if you weren't expecting anyone. so if he conveyed that to the jury that he had a reasonable fear that there were break-ins in the area and a high crime area, he may get a not guilty verdict. >> was there a 911 call before bullets were fired? >> there was no call. he didn't pick up a cell phone. he picked up a gun. he knew enough that there was an african-american woman banging on his door at 4:30 in the morning and he shot. he shot and he killed her. how he can convince this jury that he had a reasonable fear that his life was in danger is
beyond me. this is similar to the trayvon martin case to the extent that it's biracial. but this is a man who should not be allowed to pick up a gun and shoot and that's what makes this very different. >> is this a case, eric, of somebody protecting themselves or someone being trigger happy? >> well t could be a case of both because this goes to what he believed. there was evidence that there was climbing on the air conditioner and the police did not process the evidence. and he stated and testified that he heard banging on the side, banging on the front door, banging on the side, banging on the front door, which instilled his possible fear, which i can reasonably understand. >> so you want to speak out individually. we'll have to leave it there 'cause i want to jump topics to jody arias. on monday it was said she's going to be able to represent herself in the penalty phase of her trial. is this going to be something advantageous for her to be able to speak to the jurors one by
one? >> based on her prior experience, i don't think this is advantageous for her at all. look, she has a ged, that is not a ged. you need to have lawyering experience to voir dire to question jurors. she doesn't have that experience. i don't know that she'll be able to do this successfully. why put something that -- fix something that isn't broken? her attorney last time was able to successfully save her life in the last penalty phase. so i would have stuck with my attorney because obviously the jury liked her and as we saw during the murder trial, we weren't necessarily sure whether the jury liked jody arias and found her to be somebody who was worth saving. >> eric, is she going to just say hey, this was self-defense, as she has before, or is she going to start going cocoa bananas doing head stands like we saw in the video to try to make it seem like she's off her rocker? >> the guilt phase is over. this is about saving her life at
this point. what she wants to do is connect with the jury. she wants to talk to them and probably try to charm them, which could backfire on her because they will know that she's conniving. they will know that she was found guilty of this and it could backfire. >> i agree. i think that -- i'm not sure this was ever a death penalty case. but what we know about death penalty cases is that there are appeals after appeals after appeals. for this trial judge to let jody arias represent herself in the penalty phase is inviting an appeal, which means another trial, which means taxpayer dollars paying for this woman's third trial. it's bad decision and if she's convicted for the death penalty, i suspect this will be the reason it's overturned. >> all right. thanks for your time today. >> thank you. 18 minutes after the hour. coming up, brand-new information about that double decker bus crash in the heart of times square. we just learned police arrested one of the drivers.

f.d.a. has approved only one drug, only one for any childhood cancer and the national cancer institute uses 96% of their budget for adult cancer research. so why are children with cancers and diseases being left behind, sometimes and too often to die? joining us now is the mother who tragically lost her own son, jacob, to a rare brain tumor. nancy goodman, who is the founder and executive director of kids versus cancer. thanks for being with us this morning. >> thank you for having me, peter. >> you helped change american history and provide an incentive for american companies to develop pediatric cancer drugs and other drugs that will save children. when they do so, they basically get a reward or a voucher from the federal government that they can actually sell thereafter and you provide this incentive. tell us about the act that you helped create and why you did it. >> thank you, peter. it's called the creating hope
act. i created it because when my son jacob was diagnosed with a pediatric brain cancer, i was shocked and amazed to find out that the drugs he was receiving were 40 years old. and they didn't work. so that's the purpose of the creating hope act, to give companies a reason to develop drugs for kids. >> so what's happened, nancy, in terms of millions of dollar transaction that came about as a result of one of these pediatric cancer drugs? >> so last week the first voucher was sold, peter. it was sold for $67.5 million, which is great. it means the program works and the company that sold it, their market cap increased by half a billion dollars and another up with of the two companies that purchased it, their market cap increased by $20 billion upon announcement of the sale. so that means the program works and if companies develop drugs
for kids with cancer and other serious illnesses, they'll be -- there will be financial gain for those companies. >> congratulations. let's talk about compassionate use. we focused on josh hardy and his ability finally to get the drug that he needed that could help save his life. you had a hard time getting compassionate use for your own child. what advice would you give to mothers and fathers and family members as they try and save their children that may have a pediatric cancer for which there is no approved drug? >> it's a terrible problem, peter. i think what we really need to do as a society, one is fix the compassionate use program. there is some structural problems in it. and second, we have to find ways to encourage or acquire companies to offer pediatric trials of new drugs earlier. >> well, as a pediatric cancer survivor, nancy, i thank you for what you've done. you've really created history and provide an incentive for drug manufacturers to help our
youngest and most vulnerable population. nancy goodman, thanks so much for doing what you've done. >> thank you, peter. coming up, three huge storms, including two hurricanes threatening beach goers across the country. maria molina with what you need to know. and then we showed you how kids react to finding guns in their play area. is this happening when you send them o a friend's house? do you even know if the parents own a gun? how to approach that crucial and maybe life-saving conversation, coming up on "fox & friends." ♪ ♪ your eyes. even 10 miles away. they can see the light of a single candle.

decker buses crash in the heart of times square two blocks from right here. you can see people running and the traffic light toppling onto the crowd. police have just arrested one of the drivers. channel 5 here in new york's reporter is in times square. what do we know about the driver who has been arrested? >> reporter: good morning to you guys and good morning, everyone. the driver's name is william delambar, a 50-year-old marne from new jersey, a long-time driver with gray line buses. little is known about his criminal past, if there even is one. police tell us this is a guy who should not have been behind the wheel. he was charged with driving while ability impaired. they tell me he had drugs in his system. not narcotics, but some type of prescription or over the counter medication.
a guy who should have taken the day off and not taken that shift because we know what happened next. you've probably seen the video by now. you just saw some new video. let's check out the earth cam video of it. two double decker buses crashing into each other at 47th and 7th and taking down a light pole with it. you see on this earth cam video, people start to scurry. the light pole comes down. debris shatters like shrapnel is what people told us when we arrived on scene yesterday. a number of injuries. 14 people injured. three people seriously, including one of the tour bus operators on another bus. apparently she got her head stuck underneath the dashboard. chaotic scene here. certainly there were a lot of tours in the area. anybody who has been to times square in the afternoon knows how busy it can be. a lot of people panicked. and we can also tell you guys we are hearing from police that this was an unusual event in and of itself. but earlier in the day, this area was shut down prior because
there was a bomb scare that occurred in this area. so especially a lot of patrons of the restaurants, people would work around here weren't quite sure what exactly was going on. they had the bomb scare and then they had this bus crash. so it made for a very uneasy tuesday for people who work in this area and people who just want to take in times square. that's the latest from times square, i'll send things back to you in the studio. >> live there and today is matinee day where they have the matinees on times square and broadway. is driving under the influence of prescription drugs is that on par with a dui? >> it can turn into a dui. anyone who drives in manhattan knows that the peril is sometimes posed by these bus, they're kind of a pain in the neck. you wonder sometimes who is actually training some of these folks. there is a bunch of different lines out there. a lot of lawsuits, big investigation i predict. big regulation moving ahead against these types of bus lines
to prevent exactly these type of accidents. >> the double decker buss are so huge, so long, they block entire sections. i rode my bike home yesterday and i couldn't get through. cabs were laying on their horn. >> great service and great fun, but they can be hazardous sometimes. >> it's 23 minutes before the top of the hour. and heather nauert joins us with some news. >> good morning. an update for you on a story that we told you about. a woman in pennsylvania charges not dismissed against the mother who carried her registered gun across state lines. a judge now ruling that she will have to go to trial for being found in possession of this gun during a traffic violation in the state of new jersey. here is what happened. she presented her concealed carry permit for pennsylvania, but that isn't recognized across state lines in new listen. >> i hope that -- i didn't know about it. it could happen to anybody. >> she can now face at least 3 1/2 years in prison.

controlled by, say, a malicious attack from a hacker. so let me give you an idea of what that means. for example, right now this device plugs into a number of computers and inside of this device is instructional language called firmware. it says i'm a usb drive, i hold this much information and you can talk to me this way. inside that instruction, which is inside the device and not something you can control, you now or someone could put instruction that says, copy all the information off this computer and send it to this other computer. >> see, that's the bad part. here is the thing, a lot of companies give these out as promotional things. people -- i can't tell you how many people have given me one of these little gizmos like this and i actually have used one until this morning. >> we thought that this was actually a safer way to transfer information. >> of course. >> you will say, i won't e-mail it, i'll copy it on this and
hand it to you and here you go. the problem is anyone at any time can now put this on this device and you don't know who put what where and you can't detect it. so the problem is now we've got to look at usbs in a whole new way. and it's a big wake-up call to say stop using freebie handout ones. only use ones which are inside of the packaging that you get from the store. a broader way of thinking of this is think about a usb drive as you would your wallet. you don't loan it to somebody else and if you do loan one of these things to somebody, you simply don't expect it back because all it takes is one transfer and now that could infect your computer that you now plug that into the next time. >> it's so innocent looking. but i seem to remember it was a little device like this that some spies used to blow up the iranian computers with this virus. >> it is that and there is cotton mouth is a widely
discussed protocol from the nsa that came out from edward snowden's leak which this would use the same technology to get there. so bottom line here is big wake-up call and in the months and perhaps even years to come, it will take a long time to implement a new way to secure this kind of technology. so no longer safe. no longer the sure bet. >> don't take a free one. just go to staples and buy a new one. >> exactly. >> thank you very much. great advice. >> that was easy. coming up on "fox & friends," this choke hold is the latest tragedy after a suspect resisted arrest. is that a growing trend? are the cops not respected anymore? our next guests say yes and know why. and on this day in 1955, "rock around the clock" was the number one song. ♪

>> activists around the country are lashing out at the new york city police department. they claim police are too brutal, citing the choke hold death of a staten island man. critics say the streets are much
less safe under this new mayor here in new york city, bill de blasio. he's got these plans of course to stop or at least scale back stop and frisk. joining us right now is long-time new york city police department detective, mr. bo deedle. good morning. >> good morning. >> you were on the street for a very long time. you talk to cops all the time. from what we've heard and what we've seen under this mayor where he says the cops have been too rough, we're going to stop the stop and frisk business, it seems like the guys on the street are demoralized. >> i talk to cops every day. the cops are so disgusted with what's going on, they don't want to get involved. they don't want to do anything. what we saw on the videotape of what happened and the incident at staten island, dozens of times i use the same kind of head lock to bring someone down. you got a man who is 6' 3, 350 pounds, you got cops 5' 7, 5' 8, you bring them down in a head lock. it's not meaning that you're trying to choke him.
on the other side of the coin is when they use the word homicide, homicide is used by the hands of another. you commit a homicide even when you give a lethal injection. that's homicide that's on the medical record. people now are getting this thing that -- i want to see an autopsy report where there is a crushed wind pipe. i want to see that because the head lock that's used, i've used dozens of times and it's used all the time to bring someone down. and if you watch that video, it wasn't a consistent compression on the guy's neck. and this is kind of gets me upset that these cops are being singled out. then when you get a mayor that has a great police commissioner like bratten sit there and take the abuse of al sharpton, i am disgusted. every cop is disgusted. i'm going to hire an independent medical examiner to look at that autopsy report. someone's got to step up with this and protect this commissioner and these cops that are out there who are servicing this city. bad enough they took the stop and frisk away, which is ridiculous, which we can use it

bentafolio defeated by a michigan businessman. elsewhere in michigan, a race to replace john dingell, retiring after the longest congressional career ever has been won by his wife, debbie. now in november, she'll have a chance to take the seat her husband had for 50 years. >> peter doocy live with the results from washington, d.c i heard on "special report" last night, the republican running against senator roberts is a first or second cousin of barak obama. >> amazing. meantime, three minutes after the top of the hour, we turn to heather nauert who has got some terrifying news. >> yeah. for some passengers on board, but we've got good news as well. terrifying moments for united airlines flight packed with 200 passengers. a fire breaks out on board the flight. look at this picture here, taken by a passenger. once it finally reached the
ground, inside the plane, you see the firefighters on board that plane. this flight was headed from newark, new jersey to brussels when the pilot was forced to make an emergency landing in canada. fortunately, no one was hurt. no word yet what caused that fire on the jet. luckily everyone is okay. today closing arguments begin in the porch shooting trial. it goes before the jury later today. theodore waver spent two days on the stand trying to convince a jury he shot an unarmed teen-ager in self-defense when she showed up on his front porch drunk and screaming. >> i didn't want to be a victim. i opened the door all the way as much as i could. then as soon as i did that, this person came up from the side of my house so fast. i raised the gun and shot this poor girl. >> some are comparing the case to the trayvon martin case.
remember that one? it was a teen-ager who was shot and killed in florida back in 2012 by george zimmerman. fearing the threat of ebola, british airways now suspending all flights to liberia and sierra leone for one month. airports are becoming the first line of defense against the ebola virus by setting up medical screenings. here in the united states, the second infected american is now undergoing an experimental treatment in atlanta. both nurse nancy writebol and dr. brantley are said to be improving. then you got to look at this video. it's incredible. a car with a woman and her husband trapped inside it, no match for mother nature. but rest easy because mother nature is no match for some good samaritans who also happen to be u.s. airmen. take a look at this. this all unfolding about
30 miles north of las vegas. members of the air force who happened to be nearby ran into the water to pull the 80-year-old woman out of her car. her husband was just rescued moments before. one of those airmen was then nearly swept away himself and he had to be rescued. seconds later, their car was carried off. a lot of flash flood not guilty that area recently. a lot of rain. so a big problem. but everybody is okay. >> if it was just the car, people might let it go. but if there is somebody inside -- >> two people inside, two elderly inside. >> thank you very much. we had terrible news yesterday. a two-star general, harold green, was murdered at the u.s. military -- rather the military academy for afghanistan training afghannies to take over their own security. the taliban has already claimed responsibility for the attack, which prompted ed henry yesterday to ask white house press secretary josh earnest, okay, it's the taliban.
they're claiming they killed this guy. how can we say we're making progress over there? here is what josh earnest and ed henry had to say. >> how can you say progress when an american general was killed today? >> the progress that i cited is the progress that was made. hard won progress that was made by our men and women in uniform who have been serving for more than 12 years. and there is no doubt that what previously was a base of operations for core al-qaeda no longer exists. >> this is a huge touchdown for the taliban. >> yeah. and this insider attack is something that we saw a surge in in 2011 and 2012. pete hegseth from concerned veterans for americans was there at that time and is familiar with this area and he says that this is not spontaneous timing, that this possibly is part of a sleeper cell of the taliban. this is their propaganda of trying to say yes, you may be
announcing a withdrawal and winding down the war, but we are chasing you out. pete hegseth also says that if we say the war is over, that doesn't mean the war is over for our enemy, still think it's raging. listen. >> the troops have felt the fact that it has been about withdrawal more than success from the very beginning. that's what you're seeing in afghanistan right now. the taliban is exploiting that perception to make it look like the americans are on the way out and they're the future. taliban hasn't turned the page. al-qaeda, isis, are not turning the page. they're redoubling their efforts because they've identified that we're retreating, that we don't care. we're not invested in the outcome. so you've got islamists on the march, the taliban really controlling the country side. >> and the taliban redoubles its efforts in afghanistan, resulting in the death of general green who is last in the long line of those who serve in the military service back to the civil war. a new poll is showing that the president is sinking deeper than ever before. the question that was asked was
in general, do you approve or disapprove or not sure of the job barak obama is doing as president? and 54% of the american people disapprove. 40% approve. and 6% are not sure. >> that's a new low for the president. then this is the one that's really going to catch your eye in this "wall street journal" poll. do you think things in this nation are generally headed in the right direction or the wrong track? 71% of you say we are headed on the wrong track. only 22%, one in five, think we are headed in the right direction. >> and this terrible tragedy yesterday. let us know what you think. also this morning, this is happening, sergeant beau bergdahl, the guy who was swapped for five terrorists, he's formally going to be questioned on desertion charges. his lawyer saying he will be as cooperative as possible. this is a new image of him preparing for his questioning. he appears to look pretty good.
he's gained some weight there. >> yeah. remember right now he's got a desk job down in san antonio. the big question is, keep in mind, we've had his platoon mates on this program. they all say he was a deserter. he clearly -- he left a note. he said, i've had it. here, i'm leaving. so what's going to happen to him? fox news legal analyst kimberly guilfoyle was on with bill o'reilly last night and she sees this scenario playing out. >> i don't see any incentive for sergeant bergdahl to cooperate, participate. i expect we're going to see more of kind of the lois lerner, take the fifth, not give the information because he is the worst witness against himself. if he doesn't say anything, he remains on active duty in good standing, able to get a pension and continue to serve in -- >> if he's not convicted. >> if he's not convicted. >> i have a different viewpoint on this. you've got a lawyer who i believe is going to attempt to cop a plea today and tomorrow,
asserting that bowe bergdahl was somewhere between confused and mentally ill when he stepped off that base. his lawyer was someone who has spoken up in the past on behalf of enemy combatants at guantanamo bay. so he's going to get a defense and i believe they will come up with a story to ex cull pate him. his lawyer has always said, he's been in jail with the taliban already for five years and that's an amazing counterpoint that we're talk being this story today on the day that we are mourning the death of general green, perhaps killed at the hands of the taliban, the same leaders that we released to qatar some months ago. >> that is such an excellent point. peter, the white house, because they did do this controversial swap and released all these bad guy, the white house would love to see this go away, sweep it under the carpet. so could they pressure the pentagon or these attorneys or
whoever decides let's just get rid of this? >> you're not going to see formal e-mails to that effect. but i believe that the president's beliefs on this particular issue will inform the outcome as to what happens going forward. remember, there was already a determination that he had walked off that base without permission, that he was awol. now they'll be looking at deserter status or not and whether to bring charges. no charges have been brought yet. >> yeah, you can imagine the president worried about his legacy on this one if one of those five returns and does something terrible and kills innocent americans again as some of them have vowed to do. 12 minutes after the top of the hour. we showed you hidden camera footage of how kids react when they find a firearm. >> how do you know when they're in the presence of one? do you even know if your neighbor or your child's play date has one? well, do you keep them locked up and do they keep them locked up? >> this is the latest in our series on children and guns and heather nauert is here with more. >> good morning. we're looking at this all week
and it's a major, major topic. it's our constitutional right to own a gun, but with that comes a major responsibility, especially when there are children in the home. but what do you do when your child goes o another family's home? do you ever even think o ask them if they own a gun? it's obviously a tough question to ask. but i recently met a mom who regrets not posing that question. this is something that every parent should see. >> said to me, i don't know how to tell you this and i said what? and he said, nicholas was shot. and i said, what are you talking about? how? when? where? >> december 22, 2010, 12-year-old nicholas, a 7th grader, who had a flair for art and performing was accidentally shot while spending the night at a friend's house. >> we were told that they went downstairs to the basement where
nicholas' friend showed him old 40-year-old bullets and his friend asked him if he's ever seen a real gun before. he went to his parents' bedroom and got the gun out of like a sock drawer, thinking that the gun was unloaded, he pointed at nicholas and pulled the trigger. this is the last heartbeat you're going to hear your child. >> did you know that the parents were gun owners? >> i never thought of it. >> you never thought about that before? had you known, would you have felt differently about having your son play at his house? >> absolutely. >> how do you ask that family if they own a weapon and if it's properly secured? >> you just ask.
>> so that's it. just as she said, you just ask. and though it can be an awkward conversation, it's one that's practical and necessary. >> for 75 to 80% of families with guns in the home, first and second graders know where that gun is kept. so it really is unrealistic to think that the kids don't know what's going on. because of that awareness, experts say lay the groundwork with your kids early and often. >> you need to start the conversation early, from kindergarten on and it needs to be the rules. >> when approaching parents keeping it conversational works best. >> there needs to be no emotion about it. it's just one of the questions, do you have allergies? do you have a pet? do you have a swimming pool? do you have a gun? >> if a family takes offense, offer to move the play date. studies have shown people with guns aren't offended by asking the question. in fact, it's almost offered a lot of times. >> it's a matter of you feeling safe. the reality is it could take just once for something to happen to your child. you need to make that decision that's going to keep your child
safe. >> such a bright light. >> it is really, really important to know if the people where you're sending your child for a play date are gun owners and how they're stored. we're not trying to take, you know, the guns away from gun owners. there is nothing wrong with asking so you could make an educated choice. >> nicholas was such a beautiful little boy. the couple are now working to pass what's called nicholas' bill in new york state. it would require the safe storage of guns with a locking device to prevent children from getting their hands on them and using them. the bill is now before the new york senate. there is that other angle to consider, something that gun rights advocates talk about a lot, trigger locks, and whether or not they threaten homeowners' security and that is an angle that we're going to look at tomorrow because a lot of people
express concern that if you have a trigger lock on your gun or if you have it stored in a safe, that it would take too long to respond to a home intruder. we'll look at just how long that might take tomorrow. >> great advice that it should be one of those questions, do you have allergies? do you have a pet? do you have a pool? do you have a gun? put it out there, just conversationally. >> it's something that -- i'm a parent of two young children. we often send our kids on play dates. >> have you ever asked that? >> i have never asked. but it's such a good question because you want your kids to be safe and we know how curious kids are. >> sure. most gun owners are absolutely responsible and my friends who have guns in their homes, they have the gun safes. they've got the vaults. it's all locked up. it doesn't hurt to ask. >> we're not saying don't own guns, but you have to be responsible about it and then ask questions. >> i know it's a thoughtful, thoughtful report that you've done. my own experience in my own family, a lot of police officers and that was always the concern that my uncles had when people were coming over for a party. i remember this as an older teen-ager, they were so vigilant to make sure their off-duty
weapons were put away where nobody could get them. it's important. thanks for doing this. >> thanks for mentioning that. meanwhile, straight ahead, it's happened again. billions of internet passwords stolen. only this time it's worse. there is a chance that you are a victim and we've got the details straight ahead. >> then this is amazing. a navy veteran loses his hand in a horrific accident but gets his grip back for 20 bucks at the home depot. you'll meet him and see his breakthrough invention when we come back. >> he invented that? >> he did it. ♪ ♪ ♪searching with devotion ♪for a snack that isn't lame ♪but this...

22 minutes after the top of the hour. brand-new video into "fox & friends." listen to the moment that two double decker tour buses crashed right here in the heart of times square.
you can see right there, people running and the traffic light toppled onto the crowd action screen left. and police just arrested one of the bus drivers. wnyw reporter is in times square with the very latest. we understand that the guy who was driving this bus shouldn't have been driving at all. >> reporter: that's exactly what police told me this morning. good morning, steve and everyone. they say this guy should have taken the day off. he should have not been behind the wheel of the car. new york police charged him with driving while ability impaired. they say he had some type of drug in his system. they tell me it's not narcotics. but perhaps a prescription medication or some type of over-the-counter medication. is it a sleep aid? is it something else that could have really impaired his ability? we don't know. we do know from talking to some of the people who work for grayline bus that he was working the night shift coming in at noon and expected to work through the night. if you come here to times square today, you'll see that there is little remnants of the accident that occurred at 3:30 yesterday
afternoon. it happened on the corner of 47th and 7th. the light pole is back up, but boy, it came down with a vengeance yesterday. look at this earth cam video. you can see as those buses collide, people start to run. they hear the explosion of the buses hitting and then they start to scatter as they see the light pole come down, spraying debris. there were a ton of tourists. 14 people were hurt. three seriously, including apparently one tour operator that was on one of the other buses. her head got wedged underneath the dashboard. steve, we're waiting to hear more from nypd about this man. if there is any sort of criminal past and also when he'll be in court today. that's the latest from times square this morning. i'll send things back to you in the studio. >> live in times square, thank you very much. anna, over to you and peter. >> amazing story. navy veteran involved in a horrific accident that cost him the use of his hand, he sawed
off four of his fingers, three had to be amputated. only one was able to be saved. >> this morning not only does howard have a smile on his face, he's got a solid grip to boot. that's because he created his own prosthetic hand after a trip to home depot. good morning, howard. >> good morning. >> you say you've gotten your self-esteem back because of this $20 that you spent at the home depot. how does it work? >> well, when i cut my fingers off, i had to go to home depot and i met a friend named casey barrett and he's the one that designed these -- my hand for me and we just needed to get a glove and some string, some fishing line, some glue and that's how we put our firsthand together. >> what can you do with the hand, howard? show us that hand and what can
you do with that incredible hand that you made on a 3d machine? wow. that is tremendous. >> i can pick up some water bottles now, which i couldn't do before without my fingers. i can even play some cards with my friends now 'cause i can hold the cards. >> i can see the magic hyped your eyes. you seem really happy with all this. obviously you're able to keep costs down at 20 bucks, making these prosthetic potentially accessible to a lot more people. are you working to get this thing on the market? >> no, we're not working to get it on the market. what we want to do is the wreck f foundation has joined me and we want to give it away. we want to give it away to veterans who have lost their hands and their fingers and
anybody else that needs help 'cause prosthetics are very expensive. >> this is an incredible thing. one of the things that you can rebuild your own hand, what a feeling of power. you should be so proud of yourself. it gives hope to a lot of other americans. we're so happy to have you on this morning. >> thank you. and it wasn't me that built it. like i said, a friend of mine came to me after i chopped my fingers off and he's the engineer of our group and he's the one that printed all these fingers for me. >> you guys certainly make a good team with the help of a 3d printer. >> thanks for your service, too. >> thank you. thank you very much. 27 minutes after the hour. coming up, it's the most incredible video you will see all day. hundreds of people, complete strangers, pull together to help save a man stuck in the tracks. details next. then she's used to flying f

time for your shot of the morning. the most incredible video you're going to see all day. a transit rider in australia gets stuck when his leg slips between the train and the platform. watch the gap, they tell you. he didn't apparently. hundreds of people, complete strangers, all pulled together to help. they all pushed on the word. everybody got off the train and
pushing to shift the weight off onto the one side. it was enough to free the guy's leg. the man seemingly dazed but unhurt, was able to walk away. ladies and gentlemen, that is team work from perth, australia. >> it's a wonder that doesn't happen more often. that gap is about this big and people are on their cell phone. >> it does happen. major subways in the united states, they have air bags that emergency service brings and they inflate it and it will separate the car from the platform. usually the outcome is a lot worse, amputations, death and like that. so that's wonderful, people jump in to help. >> a wife and mother missing for weeks found dead. authorities discovered her body yesterday near her suv in a remote wooded area 25 miles from her home. so what happened to jennifer houston? ainsley earhart is here with details. incredibly sad story. >> we've been following this for
weeks. it is sad this morning to report that she is no longer with us. but the cause of death still not released yet. detectives are still processing on the scene. police say it does not look like there was a crash or anyone else involved. >> we do not suspect foul play at this time. there is nothing to suggest that the public should be alarmed. >> the person who owns the land spotted jennifer houston's suv on his private property about an eighth of a mile from his house and told his wife about seeing that lexus on their land. >> i said, what color is it? he said green. i said, dark green? and i knew right then. >> police found the 38-year-old's body 50 feet away from that suv there. she was wearing the same clothes that she had on when she vanished on july 24. the mother of two disappeared that day while she was running errands. she took out $100 from the bank. she filled up her car with gasoline and bought some snacks and then bought some sleeping
pills at a local drugstore. minutes later, her cell phone was turned off and police say the battery was not dead. her father and her husband joined us on "fox & friends" on monday speaking out about that desperate search and they were clearly exhausted. >> we're just grasping at straws. any time we hear about a sighting or something, we're all over it. once or twice we've jumped in the car and ran somewhere we thought a vehicle was seen at. >> the family has asked for privacy in order to grieve and to process their loss. jennifer leaves behind her husband and their two little boys, age six and two. back to you guys. >> tragic end to that story. thanks for the update. >> what a terrible story. i wond for they found a note. don't know. >> awful. we turn now to heather nauert who has got the search for somebody else. >> yeah. police in the pacific northwest need your help searching for a missing six-year-old girl. this as we just learned that
police are also keeping a close eye on her father, james wright. he was once charged with molesting his eight-year-old stepdaughter. that charge was later dropped. police aren't calling him a suspect at this time. the girl was last seen saturday night, six years old. they came to this country illegally multiple times and now they're charged with shooting a u.s. border patrol agent dead. the two men had both been arrested and deported from our country multiple times. that u.s. border patrol agent was shot and killed in front of his wife and his family while he was fishing. this father was shot, but is expected to survive. the two suspects who confessed to that shooting were trying to rob the family when he fought back. it is one of the largest security breaches ever. a russian crime ring stole more than 1 billion user names and passwords from 420,000 different
web sites. 500 million e-mail addresses have also been compromised. some of the victims include the auto industry, car rental businesses and also hotels. keep a close eye on your personal information. if you need to quiet your baby as a loft us moms do, try the power of katy perry. look at this. ♪ ♪ >> she's quite a dancer, too. it worked! that little girl goes from tears to pure happiness. this after seeing the katy perry video, katy perry actually tweeted about it. available for baby-sitting at $10 an hour and poor oreos. nice sense of humor. those are your headlines. gosh, i wish i knew that. >> thank you very much. a new dance. she can do the mouth, too.
>> that is adorable. 23 minutes before the top of the hour. time for some weather and get this, maria molina, it sounds like a lot of people who are going to hawaii right now for their vacation picked a bad week to go. >> yeah. i can't really feel -- i still feel jealous. i would still like to be in hawaii, even if there are storms headed that way. i do have some good news and that is that the storms are forecast to weaken. they are hurricanes, headed westward. and one of them could potentially move north of the islands. so that would be good news. we would be spared from some of the impact from these storms. we do have two storm systems. over the next several days, they are going to continue to move westward and iselle will be the first storm to potentially impact the hawaiian islands. that's coming up as we head into thursday and then you have julio. this one has maximum sustained winds -- iselle at 90 miles an hour. julio has been a little weaker,
but forecast to continue to intensify and then eventually weaken before hitting the island, that's coming up over the weekend. we also have bertha, that storm moving away from parts of the east coast. rip current concerns are continuing along coastal areas of the northeast. of course, that's a big issue for anyone that's headed out towards the beaches there. there you have tropical storm bertha, max winds at 50 miles an hour. let's head back inside. >> thank you very much. meanwhile, do you recognize her? we rely on her reporting skills and military analysis as well. but leah gabriel hasn't stopped flying since her days as a pilot of an f-18 in the u.s. navy. but when she came to new york city and joined us here at fox, she left her plane in california and i guess, were you running up a bill at the airport? you had to move it? >> i wanted it here so i could fly it and i set out on this journey after july 4th weekend. so i decided to call my trip freedom tour. and i knew i would offer some
incredible views that you don't normally get to see and i wanted to share those. take a look at some of the sights that you don't get to see when you fly across country in an airliner at 40,000 feet. this is what i used to fly for the u.s. navy. f-18, two engines, top speed, 1200 miles per hour at a price tag of about $30 million. now that i'm no longer landing on aircraft carriers and the navy is no longer buying my fuel, this is what i fly. a cessna 172. one engine, four seats, top speed, about 120 miles per hour. cost? about what most americans spend o a new car. >> put it somewhere where you can have access to it. >> reporter: a fellow veteran began fixing up my plane when i left san diego to join fox news. now it's time to fly her to my new home in new york, a coast to coast adventure.
to me, flying is the ultimate freedom, to go where i want, when i want, one of the greatest gifts of our land of the free. my copilot is photo journalist for the trip, fox news anchor jon scott. >> how does it feel to be crossing this air space at 110 knots? >> i feel like i'm in a helicopter. i did a lot of flying here. especially flight training. this is bomb ranges where i dropped practice bombs. >> we have a little diversion. >> we have a little bit of a diversion. >> thunderstorms offer their own kind of beauty. awesome power, enough to take down even an f-18. so we give them plenty of room. our first stop, an airport on the edge of one of america's greatest natural wonders, the grand canyon. we're treated to a bird's eye
view. getting ready to take off, day two of this adventure. just a few minutes after takeoff, we're flying over the surface of mars. at least that's how the painted desert appears from 2,000 feet above it. >> the chart here, the storm over there to the right. >> with more thunderstorms ahead, we decide to land earlier than intended. gallop, new mexico, to fill our tank and check the weather. we're back on the road, we're following interstate 40. this will take us into albuquerque, new mexico. to my left are the sandia mountsens. once we clear this mountain range, we can start heading northeast to new york city. as you can see, the train changed quite a bit. like this flat land. that is to amarillo. sunset not guilty the next ten minutes.
it's a little hazy. we won't see the gorgeous texas sunset. we'll be up bright and early tomorrow morning and see the sun rise here in texas. one of the greatest parts of the trip were some of the wonderful people that we met along the way, including some people who watch fox news every day. tomorrow you'll get to meet some of them and also get to see what it looks like to fly right into new york city, right over the statue of liberty at night and at eye level from the sky scrapers. >> you had a pretty good camera guy. >> i had a great camera guy/copilot, jon scott. hopefully we'll be able to get him in here tomorrow morning so he can talk a little bit about the experience. >> breath taking stuff. great stuff. >> thank you very much. >> knocking our socks off. coming up, hysteria about ebola. is it warranted? are americans in danger because we're treating victims? dr. mark siegle is here live from jfk to answer viewer questions (vo) get ready!

this is a fox news alert. that's video of the moment hamas fires rockets near a hotel in a gaza residential district and now we're nearly 20 hours into a 72-hour cease fire in gaza.
john huddy is live in jerusalem with the very latest. john? >> reporter: yeah, when i was in gaza, we saw a couple of, not a couple, we saw a lot of rocket launches and also missile strikes very close to our location, by the way. as you mentioned, the cease fire continues. over 20 hours into it now and the cease fire is holding at this point. the question is what's going to happen after the 72-hour mark is up? that said, take a look. supplies started arriving, various countries donating these supplies, arriving into tel aviv yesterday and today as well as they're now flowing into gaza. much needed supplies that have been in short supply and have run out over the course of the now more than four weeks or the four weeks of fighting. we're talking about food, water, various items like that, and people were lining up pretty much all day trying to get those items, trying to get those basic essentials.
that said, troops are returning home as well as we saw yesterday. on the border after being pulled out of gaza, started going back to their families, girlfriends, wives. this as we're waiting for more information about the cease fire, the egyptian-brokered cease fire agreement that's been going on. israeli delegation there is, palestinian, hamas, islamist jihad as well. so again, the cease fire is holding, but we're waiting to see what happens after that 72-hour mark. >> john huddy live in israel, thank you. meanwhile, coming up on this wednesday, is the hysteria about ebola warranted? are americans in danger because we are treating victims here in the u.s.? dr. mark siegle is here live from jfk airport where they've got a quarantine area to answer viewer questions. >> first we're going to check in with bill hemmer for a look at what's coming up at the top of the hour. >> polling numbers show the danger many americans see about their own future. numbers are stunning. herman cain analyzes the

good morning. a fox news alet. major airline british airways canceling flights to africa because of ebola. in is raise new concerns. >> joining us live from jfk airport where they have a quarantine area to answer viewer questions, fox news medical a team, dr. mark siegle. good morning to you again. >> let's go to the first one. roxanne is asking this, why are they allowing anyone to fly or travel into or out of those countries right now where that is raging? >> peter, that's very good question. i spoke to a passenger coming from one of those countries who was very frightened. i think that the answer to that is that the numbers are so low that the chances of somebody coming in with ebola with only 1500 odd cases in west africa, extremely low. but really there is a lot of fear and they put out any advisory saying anyone with flu-like symptoms, how to
isolate them in the hospital. it's a mixed message. great britain is looking at it differently. >> and we have another tweet from one of many patriots saying this: for those with flu-like symptoms, how would they know if they had come in contact with ebola? >> look, the chances are really, really, really slim. i mean, ebola is not floating around west africa. if you have to be literally taking care of a patient, it's not an airborne virus. you would have to be in touch with the secretions of this virus. so i think the fear is really getting rampant here where people thinking i'm in west africa, i got the flu. but you know what? the chances are extremely low. to answer the question directly, though, unfortunately, ebola initially just has regular fatigue, fever, and muscle aches. so it can look like any other flu over the first few days. >> all right. great advice. dr. siegle, thank you very much and thank you for joining us this morning from jfk airport. >> thanks. it's tense here. >> i would imagine. tense all over the place.
people are worried about it. we're going to continue live from new york city in about two) minutes you're that grumpy cat. well i know! how about some honey nut cheerios? humans love them. moms, dads, kids-well, all of 'em. not even a smile? huh... maybe someone should tell your face. ohhh that is your face.

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.

so very early in the morning for that type of weather. behind that storm system we do have much cooler air that's moved in. we have very chilly temperatures early this morning with them currently in the 50's in places like pittsburgh and buffalo. 70's in places like new york city and cleveland. very cool for the month of july. farther west we have a number of flood advisories in effect, flood watches expected from the central plains to parts of nevada. that is due to heavy rain that is in the forecast. let's head back inside. >> maria molina with the latest, thank you. >> our hearts go out to families there in massachusetts. it's a whale of a tale. nearly 160 tourists forced to stay in a boat overnight after getting stranded by about 60 miles from the boston harbor. >> more on what happened yesterday. jessica, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. we just got word in the past hour that that boat

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. ♪

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.

an explosion. what can you tell us? >> reporter: well, just probably about a minute and a half ago, there was either a rocket or mortar launch that came right over our heads and landed in -- let me get out of the way. you can see the smoke. landed right there, right across the street from a road and also a neighborhood, large neighborhood. you could hear this thing. coming right over us. it came in and landed, hit hard. people are now -- you see some cars there, they're getting -- saw some people running out of there. this is how close we are to the border. we're obviously on the israeli side burks in the distance, we've been showing you gaza that as i mentioned earlier, has been taking a lot of artillery strikes and even just moments ago before i went live there, we heard a series of artillery fire. this, again, was very close to us. it reminds me of when i was in gaza and the missile strikes that were coming right over our heads as well on presumably
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

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.

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.

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.

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.

attempt to keep ukrainian forces away. it has been a violent week in the region with pro-russian militants seizing control of government buildings. yesterday the men overpowered to storm a building. they are fighting. >> they are fighting. you know it's not a good sign when vladimir putin tells you to withdraw troops from your own country. and the sanctions are having unfortunately limited effect. so we will obviously keep a close look on this. >> this is also when you see scenes like this, you are going to wonder at some point if we need to help them in a more tangible way. >> i think most people when they look at the fact -- they look at the fact that the ruble is doing better, the stock market is doing better than when the president issued the first round of sanctions, not a good sign. also not a good sign when your donors that are going to help you get elected president start talking about moving to another
candidate. that's exactly what seems to be happening and according to reports to chris christie. >> we'll go there. chris christie was leading early polls and considered a top contender to a hillary clinton run in 2016. but now a report says some republican fund raisers even some in the new jersey area with considering jumping ship from christie for jeb bush as the former florida governor looks at a bid. jeb is also getting some support from his brother. >> i hope jeb runs. and i think he would be a great president. i have no clue what's on his mind. we'll talk when he's ready. i notice he's moving around the country quite a bit. >> doing well in polls. >> yeah. that's fine. they don't mean anything. for him i can guarantee he's not looking at a poll to decide
whether or not he wants to run. it's internal. he's checking his core. as he said publicly, i'm thinking about my family. and he knows full well what a run for the presidency can do on family. after all, he's seen his dad and brother run for president. so jeb, if you need advice, give me a call. >> okay. it is worth noting according to a new quinnipiac university poll, jeb easily leads the rest of the 2016 pack in his home state. that includes marco rubio who i think people are talking about as well. >> people are talking about marco as well. it's going to be interesting to see what's going to happen there. mark halperin, this is something we've been talking about for quite some time. the only reason jeb's thinking about even running in this case is because chris christie started to fall. and when that happened, there's no establishment gop candidate and he figures perhaps maybe why
not. >> the gop establishment, the money people play in the process. and jeb still has as that story suggests, a large hold on them. and governor christie's troubles have only exacerbated the search. there's 30 people talked about as running. that was true even when chris christie looked strong. >> it's also true in 2012 and jeb didn't take the jump in for a lot of the same reasons he's thinking of not taking the jump in right now. but, you know, we have said from the very beginning this chris christie story is important. and it does have a direct impact on who may be elected the next president, tom. as chris christie goes down, that fills a void and that looks like that void right now is going to be filled by jeb bush. >> there certainly are establishment republicans that have a long history with the bush family and like what jeb bush represented when it comes to his history in florida. it also means because of jeb
bush's family ties with his wife and his kids and the fact that they have a deep connection with the latino and hispanic community, that they might be able to be the bridge that can help usher in a new wave of people to the gop. get them back interested with other people that are currently in elected office have been scaring off that demographic. >> they have. and jeb was as good or better than anybody i've seen. certainly better than any republican i've seen with latino voters. >> all right. here's an issue that could definitely impact the 2016 elections and become a little problem for potentially one candidate. overnight at least five people were killed in a militia attack at the libyan security headquarters in benghazi. the situation in that area, in that country still far from stable. 19 months after a raid on the u.s. consulate there left four americans dead. held its latest hearing yesterday in the 2012 attack.
the focus around a recently released e-mail of talking points that aimed to underscore the idea that the protests were triggered by an anti-islam video. critics say the message rees looed this week is proof there was a political agenda at play in the white house. but the administration says it was about the wider middle east and not specifically about libya. >> the e-mail was about protests around the region. if you want to tell me today that the protest and, again -- >> but benghazi was part of it, right? >> right. i want to refer you to the cia talking points on that. most people remember there were demonstrations around the region that were in reaction to what people felt was an offensive video. >> you were being cautious. you're saying there's an investigation there. that's 9/12. why on 9/14 is ben rhodes
writing an e-mail saying judgments this was inspired by a video. why wasn't it we don't know. >> do you need a copy of the cia report? >> i've read them. >> it is a cut and paste from the talking points which much to your disappointment turned out to be produced by the cia. >> mark halperin, that's just not true. first of all, here's nancy pelosi. i think she said it best right here when she said benghazi, benghazi, benghazi. >> what i will say is benghazi, benghazi, benghazi. why aren't we talking about something else? whatever was in that -- what i know of what i've read in the press about the -- those e-mails were very consistent with what was put out there before. i don't think there's anything new there. >> we're talking about it because the white house has been caught in a lie with benghazi. and one commentator yesterday
said who's often critical of republicans, it wasn't just a lie, it was a stupid lie. because it's obvious they're not telling the truth. the documents, the lawsuit that ordered them to release these documents, what did they ask for? not information pertaining to white house records involving the middle east. information involving all discussions involving benghazi. so the white house released this e-mail which clearly shows they weren't telling the truth earlier and that jay carney was spinning for whatever reasons. also, you know, the cia document they kept talking about, the acting cia chief said they weren't the ones that supplied it in the first place. this is what the white house has been doing and they've been caught. wouldn't it just be better for them to say, yeah, to come clean at some point or are they just going to keep lying? >> are you saying they can't
have it both ways? >> i'm saying that, first of all, jay carney needs to understand -- and by the way, he should understand. i'm taken by people that go in the white house and thinks the history ends when the white house ends. on the other side of the obama administration, he's going to have to come out and he's going to have to piece together his reputation. i say that as a guy i liked. i liked as a journalist. i respected him as a journalist. i still like him as a person. but i've seen this. i am getting old enough -- older than 47. >> oh yeah. >> that was doing the same thing. in 2005 i called her up. i said you know what? this administration's going to end, and you're going to have decades to deal with your credibility after it ends. stop lying to me. because you're going to have to deal with me on the other side of the bush administration. bush is going to go back to texas and i'm still going to be here. when you wonder why jay carney is doing what he's doing, i
think shattering the reputation, a well-deserved, good reputation he built at "time" magazine doing this when everybody knows he's lying. >> from the beginning, the posture of everyone around the president's been there's nothing to see here, move on. when they do stuff like this, it em boeboldens critics. how can you ask us to trust you when you say there's nothing here and then you do this? >> if benghazi's not a big deal, if people think benghazi's not a big deal -- chuck todd seemed to think yesterday benghazi wasn't a big deal. that's fine. have that debate. but if there's an e-mail directing susan rice to go and push a line and they don't reveal that, well, they've got to come clean. >> when we look at what exactly was in this specific e-mail that was released and the bullet points given to her to use as
reference points to go on these shows, that was in there. to underline the fact this was not a broader policy failure. gene, when we look at this and the ramifications that come from it, let's not forget as we get caught up in the benghazi conversation, we lost four americans. we lost four americans committed to the state department. we lost four americans that were in libya that was a rat hole after muammar gadhafi was out. so this is an embarrassment for the white house. but how do they reclaim the narrative so jay carney doesn't look like just a big liar in trying to remind everybody from that lecture the history of the time, which is okay to do, but how do they look like they're not lying about what was done? >> you know, if there are any other e-mails, just put them out. just put everything out. because in the end, this is a
scandal without a center. you know, what's at the center of this is -- was the real -- if there's a scandal, it is a state department security preparations prepositions of forces, the assessment before the attack as to what sort of danger the ambassador and the cia facility might have been in in benghazi. that's what went wrong there. and, you know, to expect there to have been a clear narrative of exactly what the motivations were of the miscreants who did this, a couple of days after the attack is ridiculous. it's absurd. nothing ever happens like that. so if the criticism is that the white house is dragging this out and is making it a bigger deal, a different kind of deal than it
ought to be, i think that could be a valid criticism. just put everything out there, because really the issue is what allowed benghazi to happen? not whether what the talking points said. what the talking points said, it's just a ridiculous sideshow. >> and by the way, go back for liberals who have been watching the show the past couple days and friends of the obama administration who have been frustrated what i'm saying about jay carney and the talking points, see what i said the monday morning after benghazi when i absolutely tore mitt romney to shreds for jumping to a conclusion. just following what gene said, for jumping to a conclusion and trying to politicize this. yes, when you hold a press conference after a u.s. ambassador is dragged through the streets without knowing all the information, you're politicizing it before knowing what's going on. i think both sides tried to
immediate politicize this. obama administration, oh, this has nothing to do with our policy. it's just an internet video by a crazy person. then you have mitt romney in the middle of a campaign saying this is the worst thing ever, blah, blah, blah. now as things get revealed, maybe mitt romney was right. but he didn't know at the time he was right. but the problem with the white house is that they're the ones sitting there now still having to clean up for some really stupid things they did and some misleading things they did. >> former national security council spokesman looked to down play his role in changing the talking points saying it's difficult to remember because it was so long ago. >> according to the e-mails and the timeline the cia circulates new talking points after they removed mention of al qaeda. then at 6:21, the white house, you, add a line about the warning of september 10th of social media reports calling for
demonstrations. true? >> i believe so. >> did you also change attacks to demonstrations in the talking points? >> maybe. i don't really remember. >> i don't remember. >> dude, this was two years ago. >> dude, it is the thing that everybody' talking about. >> we're talking about the process of editing talking points. that's what bureaucrats do all day long. >> okay. listen, if you want to keep me off your back, do what he just said. say "dude." i love the guy, but there he knows exactly what he did. we've all been in that situation. i can remember as a lawyer editing things. i can remember as a business person we can remember -- >> that was like eddie haskell there. >> come on, he knew. he remembers everything about that. this white house -- >> dude, that was like two years ago? >> that was a very long
interview. it was a small part. >> when you cut through all this, there's two basic points or questions. one, obviously the white house should come clean. we all know the coverup is worse than the crime. drip, drip, drip. just get it all out. >> and we also know on that part, the cover up, it was the president was trying to be i'm the tough guy. we won the war on terror. they wanted to make this a spontaneous demonstration. but the fact is it's just not true and everybody knows. why don't they clean this up, steve? >> right. but the second question is is this really going -- you said at the beginning of all this 2016, is this going to become a national issue or is this inside the beltway? >> for hillary it will be an issue. because she talked about the telephone call. she got her own 3:00 a.m. telephone call and four americans are dead because of it. and if you think these are just republican talking points, talk to the family members of the
four americans who gave their lives for this country. it will be an issue. and hillary clinton and her supporters and any democrats that want to say, oh, this is just right wing -- a right wing -- to borrow one of hillary's phrases, a mass right wing conspiracy. wait until the end of the campaign. still ahead on "morning joe," bill clinton a 2:00 a.m. phone call and cursing. >> you just don't want to get 2:00 a.m. phone calls. >> congressman jim clyburn was on the other end of that call. he'll be here to explain what happened. what? >> i'm also going to ask about what a congressman had to say about clarence thomas being a, quote, uncle tom. also what he had to say about mitch mcconnell being a racist. some extraordinary things. >> plus new details that the inmate in the oklahoma execution had to be tased before the
execution. up next, new cell phone video just released from on board the south korean ferry as it began to sink. the reason why the video was actually released at this point. but first, bill kairns with a check on the forecast. bill? >> mika, i did my part. it looks like a beautiful birthday weekend for you. >> nice. happy birthday, mika. >> thank you, bill. >> last week was miserable around the country. now we're going to start to see spring taking over. warmer temperatures, too. there's a few scattered showers out there around cape cod. also some light rain around buffalo, syracuse, and rochester. temperatures are more mild today than they had been this past week. we're at the 50s in the big cities, 40s in the burbs. as we go throughout the afternoon, a gorgeous friday afternoon. low 70s to mid-60s. i know yesterday was nearly 80. it was kind of humid. today's more springlike, less

rent apartments to latinos and blacks. >> jeah. it was probably the second award they were giving to him. i wonder how much money he gave the naacp in return for that award? >> you've got to look at the money you're given when you're in an organization like that. because it can't be dirty money. it's not worth it as one just learned today. >> the houston chronicle is reporting 55 colleges and universities are being investigated by the department of education for their handling of sexual assault complaints on campus. such an important story. among them, elite schools like emory university and harvard law school. also florida state and ohio state university. move comes as the obama administration announces new guidelines to prevent incidents and improve reporting on campus. such an important, important story, mika. >> related news from "the wall street journal," reports of sexual abuse if had the military have skyrocketed. the pentagon says confidential
reports were 50% higher in 2013 than 2012. now, there were 86% higher among marines. the pentagon suggests it shows victims are more comfortable coming forward. but it didn't account for how many actual crimes were committed. >> i was going to say, actually, those numbers have gone up and skyrocketed. there's two ways to look at it. of course the number is going up always causes alarm, but maybe it means that people are starting to get comfortable coming forward in the military. which they've never been comfortable doing before. >> it's difficult in real life let alone the military. >> especially in the military. >> absolutely. >> and also the previous story, in college, so many young people go away from home. something traumatic like this happens -- >> all in muddled circumstances that make you embarrassed to come forward. >> they're embarrassed, there's

this weekend because we've got the white house correspondents dinner. and looking at president obama and his sense of humor and why he may be hesitant to poke fun at himself. what have you learned? >> todd is pointing out here that president obama likes to make fun of other people more than himself. his self-deprecating humor doesn't go very deep. yes, the president jokes about his big ears and about his bad polls and about his birth certificate, maybe his gray hair. but doesn't really go after himself in the way that some other presidents have. a more typical joke by this president is, you'll remember when he said despite the rumors that he was born in a manager, he was really born on krypton. whereas president bush really went after himself. he talked about what the intelligence briefing for him
actually meant. but todd discovered that president obama has some company in this. another president who's very thin skinned at the time, bill clinton. talked to some of clinton's writers and the writers would get the jokes and clinton would be like, these are about me. they should be about the other people. and one of the drafts that was released in this most recent clinton document dump, one they tried out that clinton liked was the white house press corps was the opposite of lake woe be gone. that all were below average. >> we'll see how it goes. joel mchale is the host, right? >> people are excited about that. the weekend is growing and growing and growing. >> it's a big weekend. mike allen, thank you, sir. coming up, he said it was an honest mistake, but now there's a good chance you'll see jameis

>> thank you. i'm 47. it's okay, right? >> she's so young. she's so young. so have you seen tina's -- and she wrote this especially for your birthday because she knew it was a special day and this would be an op-ed that would get a lot of attention. this one is going to get a lot of attention. >> okay. you wrote a piece in the daily beast about hillary clinton being president you may have more power than anyone else in the country, but you quickly discover you have much, much less than you thought you'd have going in. so knowing all this, why indeed would hillary run? now that chelsea is pregnant and life for hillary can get so deep deep deeply familial and present, she is as adored as any ex-president already. it will be another press-on slot from hell and such a hog tied two terms.
only the delights of hip replacement surgery will await her by the time she gets out. leave the presidency to the people who don't know what it's really like. >> jeb and hillary discussed both of them have seen what hell this is on their families. >> it's hell, but i even think that hillary is tough enough to deal with that piece. but what you're also seeing more and more is what a static, frustrating, tied down institution the presidency now is. what can you really achieve? in a way running for presidency now is what you can do in your post-presidency. you have to get through the complete sort of hog tied status of the oval office. get beyond it, then you're free. what was great to see at our summit was jimmy carter who i've never seen a happier guy. i mean, he sat on the stage and he just wowed the audience talking about $1 toilets in west africa for women.
this is his initiative. how he's creating these for west africa. here's a guy who can talk about toilets for 20 minutes on a stage with a spell bound audience. he never seemed happier. he couldn't do anything when he was president as we know. >> has that platform to help the world. >> she has a platform already. usually you have to have the presidency to have the platform. she's got it already. why do it? >> so why do it? gene robinson, a lot of democrats will push hillary clinton to move forward. but 2008 was brutal for her. no reason to think 2016 would be any less brutal. plus she's got the fights from the clinton administration, brutal ugly fights. she's got the fights from arkansas. she's been at this a very long time. why put yourself out there again? >> well, it's a -- that's a good question. i mean, i've always thought that -- i'm disagreeing with a lot of my colleagues -- that she has not made a decision to run and she won't make a decision whether or not to run for some
time. and she's got to really think about this. that said, you know, look at the position she's in. and look at the history she could make. and i think that will really weigh heavily on her. she, by all odds are that she could have the nomination if she wants it. and she'd have an even or better than even shot according to the polls. much better than even of becoming president. as tina says, then, you know, you're president. and you've got the four years and then eight years of misery ahead of you. but through that misery, maybe you can accomplish something. so i think she is an optimistic person. if she decides to run, it would be with the idea that she's going to get stuff done. >> and, you know, both of these races are so wide open, mark halperin. much wider than any race you've covered. if hillary doesn't run, what
democrat does? if jeb doesn't run, what republican steps up? there are not any establishment candidates other than those two. >> yeah. those two are the big pieces. the missing element to me for her and whether or not she runs is what would she run to do? what would the presidency be like? >> what's the message? >> what gives her the burning desire. when her husband ran in '92, he had stuff he really wanted to do. she's been part of washington now for a long time. what is her vision? i'm not saying she hasn't had one, but she needs to make clear what it is. there's plenty she can do without being a presidential candidate. >> there's an insatiable drive as a human being that hillary clinton has to achieve. and i think this could be a really bad analogy, but we all know when we have spoiled milk in the refrigerator, we know it's spoiled but we smell it
anyway before we throw it out. i think she would know what she's getting into having been the first lady and being, you know, secretary of state. but she, i think, has a desire to achieve this and can. >> i feel there's an evolution happening somehow on that. she cease what her husband has created, realizes she wants to focus i think so much on her passion really for ending gender inequality globally. and this has been such a focus of hers. is f that is what her big passion is which i believe it is, then you can achieve more of that in your post-presidency. >> totally. >> i also think that with jeb, it's like, we cannot expect this thing to just remain static. everybody said it's hillary's nomination last night. being a black president trumped her exceptionalism in president

♪ according to the e-mails an the timeline, the cia circulates new talking points after they removed mention of al qaeda. then at 6:12, the white house, you, add a line about the administration warning of september 10th of social media reports calling for demonstrations. true? >> i believe so. >> did you also change attacks to demonstrations in the talking points? >> maybe. i don't really remember. >> you don't remember? >> dude, this was like two years ago. we're still talking about the most mundaoneundane -- >> dude, this is what everybody is talking about. >> we're talking about editing talking points. that's what bureaucrats do all the time. >> tommy v., dude. >> i like it. >> joining us from washington, david gregory. but now we have chief white house correspondent and
political director and host of "daily rundown," chuck todd. and editorial director of the journal ron fournier. >> i like the tiara it's impressive, isn't it? >> yes, it is. >> whenever she goes and weekends in south of france, she has a tiara with her. >> one day i'm going to the south of france. >> you should. >> thank you. wear that the rest of the day. >> all right. so obviously a lot of discussions about benghazi yesterday, just the political side of it. but a deadly incident last night. >> yeah. let's get right to it because there's politics all around it as well. overnight five people were killed in a militia attack at the headquarters in benghazi. the situation in that country is still far from stability 19 months a a raid on the u.s. consulate there left four americans dead. the house overnight committee held its latest hearing into the
2012 attack. it focused around an e-mail recently released. critics say the message which was only released this week is proof there was a political agenda at play within the white house. the administration, however, says the e-mail was about the situation across the wider middle east and not specifically about libya. >> ed, the e-mail was about protests around the region. if you want to tell me today that -- >> benghazi was part of it, right? >> right. i would refer you to the ca produced talking points on that. most people remember that there were demonstrations around the region. that were in reaction to what people felt was an offensive
video. >> why then on 9/14 is ben rhodes writing an e-mail that is making judgments that this was inspired bay video? why is it not -- >> ed, do you need a copy of the cia talking points? >> i've seen them. read them out all you want. >> from the talking points which much to your disappointment turned out to be produced by the cia. >> house minority leader nancy pelosi says there is nothing to see in the new e-mails. >> what i will say is, again, diversion subterfuge. benghazi, benghazi, benghazi. why aren't we talking about something else? whatever was in that -- what i know of what i've read in the press about the -- those e-mails were very consistent with what was put out there before. i don't think there's anything new there. >> and ahead of the white house correspondents dinner, politico is out with a survey of 60 members of the press corps. nearly 60% have covered the
president for ten years or fewer. 61% say press briefings should be changed from their current form calling for fewer talking points, more questions from different journalists, and they should be shorter. many journalists scored the briefings as more lame than essential. when asked if they interviewed someone who wasn't in the communications office in the last week, more than half said, are you kidding. half of those surveyed say they've been lied to by an obama white house official. nearly 40% say they have been sworn at by an official. >> it happens. and it happens, the swearing at least, happens in lots of different administrations. ron fournier, you wrote a great column about -- and i love -- if you look at the bottom of the screen, man. this is murderer's row. this is like the 27 yankees. you've got chuck todd at the white house, ron fournier at the white house, david gregory --
>> moderator of "meet the press." >> these guys all know the white house. ron, you wrote a column about this yesterday. you look at someone like marlon fitzwater, tony snowe. they were able to deliver bad news in a way that i'll just be blunt, this current white house is not been able to deliver news. there's a hardening, it seems, of the press corps. right now the white house press corps in there and for somebody that's known jay carney for a long time and liked jay carney, it's tough to see himself conducting himself in the way he's conducting himself. what's going on inside the white house? >> thanks, dude, for having me on. >> dude, you're the one that asked to be on, dude. i'm joking. >> dude, it's been two years. >> tommy v. breaking out the northwest florida slang. i love it. >> good lord. >> joe as you know any great
corporate communications staff knows the difference between winning a news cycle and winning the public's trust. the problem with this white house is they're good at winning news cycles and in doing so they lose the public's trust. there's not a better example to illustrate that right now than benghazi. if you want to set aside for a second the important national security issues. what did the president know, what did he do, what happens when you get involved in a country like this, what's the fallback. set those aside for a second and look at the communications team that's paid a lot of money to communicate to the public. we now know beyond a reasonable doubt, beyond a shadow of a doubt that the communications team treated this as a political crisis. not a foreign policy crisis. and in doing so put out information really quick that was really long, then didn't correct it until there was a lawsuit. they were fine having a bad narrative out there. didn't want to correct it because they were only worried about winning one news cycle at a time.
and in doing so, they've hurt their credibility. these issues splash over to the president's credibility across the board. and i think this credibility issue is why not just on benghazi, is why his numbers have been coming down. >> david gregory, we've all had the conversation at one time or another with pres people for republicans and democrats alike i remember telling a mccain person in 2008 after he'd lied to me the night before. i think i said, hey, dude, did not not think the sun was going to rise tomorrow? and mika remembers me saying that the next morning. i wasn't yelling at him. i said did you not think the sun was going to rise. and i was going to find out about your lie. am i going to trust you for the rest of this campaign? the answer is no. and we've seen it. we've seen it in a lot of different administrations. i'm just curious if it would be best for the white house to cut its losses now and get this behind us. it's only a big deal if they keep covering it up.
>> well, i'll make a comment about benghazi in a second. but i think the larger point is all of these press secretaries have their brief. when ron and i were in the front row during the bush years, we understood that ari fleischer at that point had a lot of limits put on him in terms of what he could do. they wanted him to take tough questions, but be limited in what he could say. that's part of a pr machine that comes to sell the president's agenda and the president. there's always limited terms of what you can get. look. ron said put aside some of the security concerns. the real story about benghazi is what are the consequences for having a light footprint in a chaotic country post-invasion. that's the ongoing story. and by the way, a story that candidate clinton if she becomes a candidate will have to face. those are the big policy questions at work here. we know to ron's point that the white house had a political interest in advancing a story about this video really being at
the core of all of these protests. because anything that was spontaneous and happening fast is to their benefit in the situation opposed to being caught unaware about a terror attack which they didn't know about. we don't know. we know they were interested in the politics of this. we didn't know they were somehow telling any untruth. and we know that the intelligence community was saying, in fact, that this was a spontaneous eruption that happened in cairo and then evolved into a direct attack on the consulate. so we know there was an opportunity to sell it. we don't know what all the facts of this are. but this particular memo, for instance, why did they hold that back? of course it was related to benghazi. i think it creates more problems. >> one of the ways we know it was related to benghazi, the white house admitted it was related to benghazi before it was denied that it was related to benghazi as it was only released because the lawsuit said release documents related to benghazi. chuck todd, now to you, my
friend. so we were having this discussion before, chuck, and mark halperin and i were talking. i said well, why doesn't jay carney, a guy like i an awful lot, why doesn't jay just say no? i'm not going to go out here and be put in this position. somebody said you can't do that. well, mike mccurry did it. other press secretaries have done it. it's a real balancing act, i understand. and it's extraordinarily difficult. but does jay not have a fairly tough relationship with the press corps that he has to stand in front of every day? >> i say yes, but it's not jay's doing that it's a tough press corps. this is sort of six years, honestly eight years of sort of dealing -- look. i think there has been in the worst development in white house staffs over the last two decades has been i think the entire press office is too big. i think there's almost too much. and so when you have so many
individuals dedicated to press communications, right, and communicating with press, then you're going to slip into over-spinning. you're going to slip into what they did here with these benghazi e-mails which is so paranoid about giving an inch to their opponents that they withhold too much. you know, everything about all of their -- some of these political crises if you want to call them that that the white house has bungled all has the same root issue. which is they have been reticent to engage. they say we're not going to give in, we're not going to give them more material. had they flooded the zone, had they just dumped everything out that they had including this e-mail, had this e-mail been sent out at the same time that we got that entire booklet of e-mails from state, cia, and white house. this would be much to do about
nothing. the e-mail was withheld. the e-mail itself isn't that damning. there's no smoke in this squirt gun, but it's because they didn't release it at the time and their credibility is why -- >> why didn't they release at it the time? >> everybody agree no smoke here? >> i disagree. >> i think there is smoke. >> it makes it clear at a minimum that they did what no one was surprised they did. they looked to contain the political damage. >> ron fournier? >> i agree with mark. i don't think that's a small thing. i think when you get caught spinning like this, when you get caught being incredible with the information, that's a big thing that splashes into other issues. as someone who has worked with jay and wants my white house to succeed, it was painful yesterday watching that briefing and get baghdad flashbacks. >> are we drilling down here on
benghazi in a time period where i think tommy v. used this phrase in his interview, he said collective amnesia. there was a lot going on with the arab spring in a lawless libya at the time. >> we knew the day it happened, when mitt romney went out and held a press conference that he held wsh david gregory i think it was an unfortunately press conference to say the least. he didn't know what was going on. nobody knew what was going on. and it was sort of shoot first, ask questions later on both sides. on both sides. >> and mark halperin and i -- >> they knew from the very beginning this was a huge deal. >> right. mark halperin and i were together at the moment when mitt romney started reacting. and by the way, he was reacting to the apologetic statements coming out of the cairo embassy related to the video. but i think to thomas' point, the key questions here is we look back now and understand this was an attack on benghazi.
and there was at the time information that was flowing out of there that was quite clearly a pre-planned attack. so part of it is why didn't they know? why didn't the administration know? why didn't the services know? why did they move forward to talk about a video? again, a lot of things can be true at once. the intelligence community saying this was a spontaneous attack even though they didn't use video. it's not an illogical leap to make biased on what the belief was. david petraeus is telling folks on capitol hill this was not terrorism initially. but it's also true and don't forget we lived there u an area here with how much grief did the bush white house take for the politicizing national security when this is what's going on here when you have ben rhodes saying, look, we've got to make sure this video story people understand. and this president is steady. of course. they don't want to be seen as weak on terror.
that's an obvious thing to do. >> joining us now republican representative from oklahoma, congressman tom cole. tom, good to see you. >> great to see you as always. >> happy birthday, first of all. >> thank you. >> from a fellow taurus. joe, you're a lucky man to have a taurus as a partner. >> and we're stubborn. >> so i've heard. so i've experienced. so congressman, let me ask you -- let's switch topics here and talk about minimum wage. it was voted on in the senate and voted down. there's some republicans -- we had tim pawlenty on the other day and others that believe the minimum wage should be increased, not to 10.$10.10, but should be. but that it could be raised for
compromise of keystone. >> i think you hit the formula. to put something that creates jobs with something that frankly is clearly going to cost jobs. you raise the minimum wage, you're going to lose tens of thousands of jobs across the country. second, you do have to realize in this case that, look. individual states can act on this as they choose to. 19 already have minimum wanls that are higher than the federal start. the point i made before, there's a big difference between the cost of living in new york or san francisco or oklahoma city. so whether a one size fits all minimum wages makes a lot of sense is worth thinking about. and again, states have the ability to act if they think it's in their interest. >> chuck todd? >> congressman, how you doing? >> hey. doing great. >> let me ask you this. do you think the minimum wage should be raised at all right now? would you raise it at all nationally? aren't we at one of the longest periods ever we haven't raised it? >> we're also at one of the lowest inflationary periods too. but the point is worth thinking about. i'm go i think to address it from a oklahoma standpoint.
do i think the we need to raise the minimum wage in oklahoma? no. other states have the ability to act on this on their own. would i look at a minimum wage increase if i thought there were other things attached to it that would create jobs like keystone and additional things? yeah, i think i would consider that because i think job creation is a very important thing. >> steve rattner. >> congressman, you're right we're in a low inflationary era, but we haven't raised the minimum wage since 2009. it's now lower in real terms than it was in the 1960s. so isn't there a -- and historically the federal government has been involved in times like this. >> i'm not telling you there's not a case to be made here. but there's also a case on the other side. one, individual states that want to move can move. two, we know according to cbo and other economists that raising it is going to cost a lot of jobs. losing half a million jobs is no
trivial matter in an economy that still has an unacceptably high unemployment rate. i suppose the president is supportive of doing this, but let's be real. he's using this as a political weapon to put something else on the table that would attract republican support. he hasn't done it. i think he enjoys the rhetoric of the debate. >> there is a compromise to be made here. we'll see if the president comes to the table with something other than $10.10. but put in keystone and something to create jobs, i bet he can get support. mark? >> what significance will be signed into law before the midterm elections? >> i hope a lot of appropriations bills as i'm the appropriator and we're actually doing the normal work of congress for a change. i would expect an infrastructure bill. i think we'll do something in terms of transportation issue.
because transportation fund is going to run dry this fall. don't expect a permanent fix, but i would expect an extension into early next year. but to your basic point, look, not a lot. you know, i think we've done some important things since the ryan-murray budget agreement. but i think the big things largely are being pushed past by both sides. i think that's unfortunate, but the political reality. >> all right. congressman tom cole, thank you very much. >> and again happy birthday. >> fellow taurus. taurusian, whatever you said. >> we have at least that in common. thank you very much, tom, for being on the show. david gregory, thank you as well. what's on "meet the press" this weekend? >> we'll have governor rick perry, fallout from the sterling story. and will.i.am will stop by to talk about his political
involvement. >> chuck todd, we'll watch "the daily rundown" at 9:01. >> i don't know. we'll see. >> i'm going to make joe be quiet. >> you get it before 15 i'll be impressed. >> all right. ron, if you can stay with us, that'd be good. coming up live at the top of the 8:00, rick seng el -- >> hold on a second. it is rick stengel's birthday as well. >> get out. >> rick stengel and you and jesse. >> i need more confetti. >> what a great eight. >> and white house correspondent for the a.p. julie pace. and brian sullivan. still ahead, are we being taught to love strangers and is that a good thing? but first, hillary clinton if barack obama would answer a 3:00 a.m. phone call. but it was a 2:00 a.m. phone call from president clinton that congressman jim clyburn wishes

♪ welcome back to "morning joe." live look at capitol hill and a beautiful day in washington. it's may, and i think the sun is going to come out now. may 2nd. here with us now, assistant democratic leader, democratic representative from south carolina, congressman james clyburn. he's out with his memoir "blessed experiences: genuinely southern, proudly black." and i can't wait to hear about the book, but first i want to hear about a blessed experience you had at 2:00 in the morning. tell us all about it. it was a phone call you got in the middle of the night. >> yes, yes. and the book sort of starts with that. >> how did that go? >> it was an interesting
morning. it was the morning after the south carolina primary back in 2008. of course i received a phone call. of course i'm always up late. >> you were sleeping. >> no. i was up watching all the returns coming from around the state. that was a much-watched primary. my wife was asleep, but i was awake. and sure enough, the former president was on the phone. >> bill clinton. >> yes. >> my goodness. what was he calling to say, hey, how you doing, jim? >> not exactly. >> no? >> he was a little upset about the results that day. because hillary lost to barack. he was not pleased with that. >> so he just wanted to share his feelings or was there a message in what he was saying? >> there was a message. he thought i was involved in the. >> reporter: in losing it for
hillary. >> yes. i was not. i was neutral in the race. of course i had personal preferences, but i stayed out of the race. >> let me read about this blessed experience. i think the way you describe it in the book crystallizes it. this powerful voice came on the phone. if you bastards want a fight, you damn well will get one. i needed no help identifying that voice. it was bill clinton. the former president of the united states, my longtime political friend. his wife hillary suffered a major defeat in south carolina's primary. obama had whipped her. and bill clinton wanted me to explain why. i told him i had pledged neutrality to the rules committee of the democratic national committee as a condition of their authorizing a primary in south carolina. and i had kept that promise. i asked him to tell me why he felt otherwise. he exploded using the word
bastard again and accused me of causing her defeat and injecting race into the contest. that is your blessed experience at 2:00 a.m. the morning after south carolina. that's -- >> i've had quite a few blessed experience. a few with joe. >> we've never raised our voices at each other. >> no, we haven't. >> always had great respect for each other. >> that's true. although the experiences were not always that pleasant. >> democrat on democrat violence here, this makes me so sad. so what was it like being shouted down and sworn at by the president of the united states? >> it was a very uncomfortable experience. but i've had a few of these. >> what do you say back to him? >> well, i listened for awhile. i was really caught off balance. and i told him i had pledged
neutrality. there was a big contest over who would get that primary. there was a fight against michigan, south carolina, and alabama. >> right. >> south carolina had won. but i was asked to remain neutral in the race. >> i remember. >> and i did. >> mark halperin? >> congressman, i know you'd love to talk about bill clinton more, but i'm going to switch to the title and subtitle. genuinely southern. in this big day and age, the big national media is becoming more interactive, the south is still distinctive. what does it mean today to be genuinely southern? >> the south is in transition today. i think we've seen that south carolina maybe behind georgia, but if you take a hard look at southern states. florida, take a look at arkansas. kentucky's not exactly a southern state, but a border state.
you will see in north carolina that went for barack obama in 2008 and was a close race in 2012. i think the south is changing rapidly. a lot of my classmates that left when i graduated, over 80% of my class when i graduated college left the state. they're not coming back. a lot of young people are staying. all three of my children remained in south carolina. that was not the case when i was coming along. i think it's changed because we're getting much more progressive. we're getting more jobs and the kind of jobs that young people are being trained for. now, the reason i put that in there is because i want people to understand that being southern has a broader connotation than being very conservative or being white, for that matter. i don't want people explaining
away what they said saying i'm a southerner. what does that mean? my mother and father were southerners, but they treated me with dignity and respect and everybody else. and that's why i put that in there. >> a lot of different experiences from the south, no doubt about it. let me ask you about something that's been making news this week. a fellow democrat, a fellow southern colleague vinny thompson has called clarence thomas, a quote, uncle tom. he doubled down again on that yesterday. suggested mitch mcconnell was a raci racist. said a lot of inflammatory things. does that cause you any concerns? >> no. i think thompson as you know is a very close friend. we knew each other for 20 years before he ever came to congress. >> you think it's all right to be calling a supreme court justice an uncle tom? >> all of us have ways of expressing our disappointment. i am very disappointed in

experience as a black american is different from thompson's experiences as a black american. can't we disagree with each other without calling each other names? >> sure we can. i talked to someone yesterday who told me they were highly insulted by some of the expressions that clarence thomas has made in his writings, in his opinions. a lot of african-americans find his opinions very insulting. he has a right to that. >> thompson though? you have no problems with him calling him an uncle tom? >> he is a close personal friend. we don't always use the same words and phrases. >> is mitch mcconnell as thompson thinks he is -- >> i don't know. ask him about that. i'm not going to get into that. >> you know what? you're going -- >> no. >> -- around in circles. >> i am not going around in circles. >> it's time to wrap. >> no. why should i read this book?

and five in the senate. >> i'm not recommending they take a shellacking like i did last night. >> however, if they're relying on the president's poll numbers as an indicator, a look at history shows the six-year vote can be problematic for the gop regardless of what party's in power. in 1986 ronald reagan saw his highest numbers of his presidency with 68% approval. still the gop went on to shed five seats in the house and eight in the senate. losing control of the upper chamber. after the revelation of his affair with monica lewinsky, bill clinton was still flying high at 64%, again the gop was unable to capitalize while losing five in the house and stagnant in the senate. in 2006 george w. bush approval was down. >> look, this is a close election.
the -- if you look at race by race, it was close. the cumulative effect, however, was not too close. it was a thumping. >> november should serve as a cautionary tale for the gop considering dating back to 1958 republicans have lost seats in each of the six-year midterm elections. time will tell if history repeats itself. guys, back to you. >> all right. thank you. >> six-year itch not good for republicans. mark? >> it has not been. they've made errors. they feel they're on track. they're raising money. they're doing decent on candidates in terms of the primaries. i think the democrats have to change the dynamic or republicans will have a good midterm. >> and there were three in one election once. >> i think we're doing well. i think we're doing well. >> so far so good. still ahead, forgot the partisan divide in washington. reverend jim wallis talks about faith on fridays. but first trusting strangers to

like bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. you may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take xarelto with aspirin products, nsaids, or blood thinners. talk to your doctor before taking xarelto if you have abnormal bleeding. xarelto can cause bleeding, which can be serious and rarely may lead to death. you are likely to bruise more easily on xarelto and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. tell your doctors you are taking xarelto before any planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto is not for patients with artificial heart valves. jim changed his routine. ask your doctor about xarelto. once-a-day xarelto means no regular blood monitoring -- no known dietary restrictions. for more information and savings options, call 1-888-xarelto or visit goxarelto.com.

a lot of people concerned about that, but the market's exploding. i guess they figure it the weather. what's the jobless report going to look like? >> we don't know but we'll find out in half an hour. i can give you background and color on what we might expect. for the last year if we look at this chart, we've had a pretty steady picture of about 190,000 jobs a month being created. but for this month the economists a little built moit optimistic for the reasons you say, joe, we're coming off a winter and hoping we're going to be more in the 220,000 range. the unemployment report did come down gradually last year but it has been pretty flat since then. you need certainly like 200,000 jobs a month just to keep the unemployment numbers from going up because of people coming into the labor force. but people should also look at
the long-term unemployed. we really have a problem. this is the percentage of the total unemployed -- >> that includes people not participating in the job market? >> doesn't even include them. >> so the situation is much worse? >> much worse. because a lot of people have dropped out. this only shows you the people who have stayed in. the percentage of total unemployed that are long-term unemployed is the highest it's ever been in history. it's come down from the highest 45% but even this number is the highest it ever been in our history. so it's a real problem and economists are increasingly worried. there was a study that just came out that a third of these people will probably never find job, a third of them will drop out of the labor force and only a third will be employed. but let's look at something that relates to washington. last december extended unemployment benefits expired for people over 26 weeks.
1.3 million people lost their unemployment insurance last december. we're talking about $286 a week, not talking about a lot of money. by june 30th, 3.2 million, by the end of the year, it's going to be 5 million. the republicans and democrats not surprisingly are fighting about this. the democrats passed a bill to extend this and the republicans won't extend it until they get what they want. >> the job participation rate is as low as it's been since the 80s and the situation looks bleak. >> first of all, i have massive telestrator envy. >> he is the john madden of -- >> if i knew he was going to be a tablet -- >> don't bring a knife to gun fight. >> or telestrator pen apparently
to a tv show. two things to add to your excellent analysis, labor force participation rate, we want it see the number go up. if it goes up, it means people are looking for a job, which means they think they can find a job. obviously the underemployed is also a number to watch, 7.4 million people working part time that might like to work full time. i can't get a full-time job so i'm going to take the work that i can get, often without benefits as well. those are two other numbers. >> minimum wage jobs. >> unbelievable. mark leibovich, what are you writing about this week? >> i actually have a column next week. bits the merging of broadcasts and politics. you have people like mike rogers leaving the house intelligence leadership to go into television. directly. who else would do something like that? it's a bizarre, trail blazing move. he actually is going directly, though. >> going rogue.
>> i've got to say, this kid show as lot of plock and fight and determination to do this. who would do that? >> it's amazing -- he had an amazing amount of -- i mean, you have an immense amount of power. >> what does that say about what it feels like to be in washington? maybe it doesn't feel so powerful anymore. >> there's that but it talks about the melding of the media world and political world. the realms are so interlocked that we have this one big people in the green room sector, which we all are. >> you talk, you tell people what they want to hear. what's the difference? >> money. you get paid a lot more money to be in the tv business. >> i'm not getting actually paid for this. they give me some coupons.
>> your food truck is bringing in plenty of money. >> i'm not getting paid. i understand why. >> hey, chris christie back in the news. it looks like some donors are thinking about dumping him for jeb. >> well, it wasn't so long ago that chris christie was leading in the polls and considered part of the contender among the republicans to challenge hillary clinton in 2016. now the "new york times" reports some establishment republican fund-raisers, as joe mentioned, even ones in the jersey area, are considering jumping ship from christie for jeb bush. meanwhile, jeb is getting some support from his brother, who knows a thing or two about running for the white house. >> i hope jeb runs. i think he would be a great president. i have no clue what's on his mind, and we'll talk when he's ready. i notice he's moving around the country quite a bit and -- >> doing well in polls.
>> yeah, it's fine. it don't mean anything. for him, i can guarantee he's not looking at a poll whether or not to run. he's checking he is core and as he says, "i'm thinking about my fami family." he knows full well what it means to run for president. he knows the toll it takes on i don't family. so, hey, jeb, if you need some help, give me a call. >> does he seem happy or what? he seems happy where he is. according to the quinnipiac university poll, jeb bush leading in his home state. let's go to julie pace down in washington. julie, this is not in the words of the grateful dead a long,
strange trip for chris christie. it has been a short, strange, rocky, turbulent trip for the new jersey governor. and it looks like a lot of his donors are starting to lose patience. >> yeah. this donor battle between chris christie and jeb bush i think is fascinating because they're both playing for money from the same pot, where you have more mainstream republicans, more business-minded republicans, who first were leaning towards chris christie but the second that this bridge scandal popped up, started looking around to see who else was out there, and they really like jeb bush. this is a guy they would love to get into this race. i just also think that the bush family dynamics on this are absolutely fascinating. you have george bush saying i want my brother to run and you have barbara bush a few months ago saying i hope he doesn't run, we've had enough bushes. i'm curious what h.w. has to say. >> h.w. i think has long wanted his son to actually run for this
office. you know, mark, a lot of people close -- well, we had tina brown here, who is not extraordinarily close to hillary, but she's always been a big hillary fan, they've run in similar circumstances. she wrote a column this morning saying basically, hillary, you know what it's like, don't run. and barbara bush doesn't want her son to run because of her son and her grandchildren. it's getting more brutal every day to do this. >> i don't know if there's momentum or if it's just chatter, but maybe hillary won't run. people have always been talking with the assumption that this is a fait de comeplete.
>> we have christie and jeb bush -- this reenforces the power of the establishment. whenever you have a bush and christie conversation, the tea party are very aggrieved, who are these establishment people? all of a sudden people do sort of line up behind them and it a very, very powerful kind of endorsement. >> it always happens. it always happens. in 1992 you had the challenge of course when pat buchanan, george h.w. bush ended up winning. in '96 it was buchanan, the conservatives hated bush, dole won. john mccain, all the conservatives couldn't stand
him, he won, he won. they at least win the primary, even if they lose the war. >> can i ask you a question? >> you certainly can. >> i don't think i want you to. >> by the way, happy birthday. >> what's your question? >> the economy has been getting better for a couple years. i mean, it's slow, right? we're not booming but we've been getting better. do you think the economy is still job one for any candidate? >> oh, my god, yes. >> is it always -- even if it's good times? >> people don't feel like it's getting better because long-term unemployment, as steve talked about. even without the long-term unemployment, real wages have been dropping. >> big banks are still big banks. >> bigger than they were. >> too big to fail has gotten even bigger. you look at working class americans, they've been losing the battle for decades now. yeah, this is -- economy is job one. and it's got to be more than just pointing at the last guy because this is a 20-year,
30-year systemic problem. i think there a lot of reasons to be excited. i'm very excited about the energy revolution, about manufacturing coming back. as steve said, it's not going to be coming back at $35 an hour, it might be $16, $17, $18 an hour, but i'd rather have it here than in china. china is having problems with growth as well, down 7%, 8%. china is not going belly up but at the same time, you're starting to hear people in america to say, wait a minute, it's starting to cost me more to send my jobs over to china. you get the shipping to get back, general electric we're talking about. >> you have the innovatiowvatio. >> i wouldn't trade this economy for any other one in the developed world. that said, as you said, joe, wages aren't going up, huge long-term unemployment, 6.5% for those even looking for work.
this is the number one issue. >> but there's two ways, without get too long wonky, there's two problems, cyclical and structural. >> this is structural. >> agree with you. if it is structural, who can fix it? how do they fix it? >> we talk about slicyclical, b look at the last two bump-ups. the late 90s it was fueled by the nasdaq, it went bust, people too excited about it and in '94, '97, you had the tech bubble. as our good friend paul krugman said, he wanted a housing bubble to replace the tech bubble and it did. for the past 20 years, we have been fueled by bubbles. >> this is what worries economists. it's like a heroin addict. each time you need a bigger and bigger dose to get some kind of
recovery to get some kind of growth happening. we're still in a cyclical phase but there are structural issues and someone has to take them on. >> so, julie pace, you have an article about pushing for data, and new privacy laws. tell bus that. >> this is something the president called for as part of the larger nsa review. it's what's referred to as big data, which basically means all the information that the government, that private sector companies pull on all of us. and there's a lot of concerns about what happens to this data. and one of the really interesting things in the white house report, which was overseen by john podessa, obama's new counsel, he found there's a real risk of discrimination. as people collect this information, they know an awful lot about us, and they fear this
information could be used to discriminate against people in things like financials decisions and housing decisions. it makes a lot of sense when you think about all the information we pump out about ourselves in social media and every form we fill out. it tells people about our age, our race, our gender. it's scary to think how that can be used against us. >> of course, mark leibovich, they follow around our habits on the internet, which is extraordinarily dangerous. >> extremely. no, we would never -- ultimately, this is about disconnect. when you talk about the economic numbers, one of the reasons people are sort of taken aback by this is these economic factors have not really touched washington, d.c. the last couple of decades. >> what state has the highest percentage of millionaires? >> washington is the wealthiest metropolitan area. >> name one major corporation
based in maryland. >> lockheed martin. >> d.c. in maryland state. >> "the washington post" post company -- i don't work there anymore. >> d.c. you get my point. the money. >> we have this gilded age going on and a lot has been inflated by the government and a lot of growth around government. i guess this is a good time to plug my back, right? >> do it! >> now out in paperback, "this town" is actually about this gilded age in d.c. we have the white house correspondent dinner this weekend so it's the perfect timing. >> everybody should walk around with "this town" as they walk around to see who is there. >> mark leibovich and julie, thank you very much. and mark, we'll have you back in about 12 minutes when the unemployment numbers are
reported, am i correct about that? >> yes. >> and coming up, does separatist really mean russian forces? rick stengel and fred kempe join us. but first here's bill karins with a check on the forecast. >> let's go talk about what happened this last week as far as the amazing video was concerned, we saw all the devastation in penpensacola, tornadoes. and then there was this out of baltimore. [ screaming ] this was taken from someone's porch. railroad tracks below the little river that turned into a gushing river in baltimore. unbelievable scene there. and there's this opposite view of it. literally, the houses, they're telling people they may not get back in their homes for weeks until they stabilize or literally build a new retaining wall.
let me take you to where we are now. we saw not just the east, the west had an unbelievable hot stretch. it was 95 degrees yesterday in san diego. that was the hottest temperature they've ever seen in may by five degrees. and the drought in california continues to get worse. we have a drought that's getting worse in kansas, oklahoma and texas. it's just been a lot of extremes. the eastern half of the country has been wet and stormy ey eve since the winter and the west warm and dry. tampa and orlando, you're going to get rained on in some portion of your day. showers from minneapolis and chicago. as we go into saturday, there's not a lot of bad weather to be found. we're nice even into sunday. there are no more extremes. and the kentucky derby is going to go off as we go throughout saturday. for the derby itself, you couldn't ask for a better forecast. more "morning joe" when we come right back.

here with us now, undersecretary of state for diplomacy, rick stengel at the table in his new position and president and ceo of the atlanta council, fred kempe. good to have you on the show. >> first of all, happy birthday. as you know, i have so much affection and love for mika, that i changed my birthday to
mika's birthday. >> i have a cake for you. have some. >> how's the job going? it's great to you have back in a different capacity. >> i was telling the guys here i was just in burma and malaysia. it's fantastic. burma is a great opportunity for american public diplomacy. you know i'm going to put this in before you go to whatever you want to talk about. it may be mika's birthday and my birthday today but tomorrow is world press freedom day. the united states government is on the side of journalists oppressed everywhere. journalists are more oppressed today than any time in history. >> vladimir putin one of the terrible offenders through the years of press freedom. a lot of reporters who have reported on him have ended up dead. >> 99 journalists were killed in the line of duty last year. what's changed is journalists
used to get harmed in the line of duty and now they're targeted by governments. that's disturbing. >> speaking of vladimir putin, we have now a helicopter shot down in ukraine. vladimir putin ordering the ukraine government to get their own forces out of their own country. what's next in this downhill spiral? >> thank, joe. i had a conversation with a pretty senior figure in the obama administration today. i said what's going on? and he just come back from the region and he said, fred, it's just like "jurassic park." he's a history guy and loves preworld war ii history. he said i've been studying bones and now the dinosaurs are awake again, it's so exciting. what's happening in this latest attack is we're seeing the unraveling of something much more sophisticated. putin is not bare knuckled.
he doesn't need to invade. he's been oozing across the border with special forces and insurgents. he's been using psychological operations. he doesn't want to send tanks across because that would unify the west. that would really take the camouflage off of him. what ukrainians are doing is they're calling putin's bluff by trying to clear out these areas like in donetsk. if he comes across with more conventional forces, that will unify the west and help them enormously. what we learned today is protesters can't fire shoulder-held missiles. this is definitely special ops, well-trained troops. 25 of them go to the building, take it and bring in local activists, go to the next building, take it and bring in local activists.
>> and of course john kerry went to the atlantic council and ripped putin's russia over the ukrainian crisis. what can we do? you look at the "wall street journal" and unfortunately angela merkel is sending a message, "my top corporations don't want anymore involvement." >> i agree with fred, it's russian special operations. they're illegal and violating of the geneva agreement. but there are new sanctions that are potentially being prepared. i mean, i think the u.s. is looking at ratcheting it up to match what russia is doing there, but what we really want is for them to de-escalate the situation. >> but when you look at the record of sanctions, rick, through history, going all the way back to cuba and rhodesia
and all these places, when they work, it takes a long, long time. >> i would argue putin is making fundamental errors that in the long run are detrimental to his country. the president has said there's no military solution to this so you have to look at alternatives. >> but you're being rational. assuming putin is rational. >> i don't think we should be irrational because he's irrational. >> no, but we have to find something rational to do. >> one of the problems with sanctions here is reports out this morning that russia is not being punished at all by these sanctions. the ruble has gone up and their markets have gone up since the sanctions were announced. does this suggest we need to send tougher signals to putin's russia? >> there's no doubt there have to be tougher signals. it was interesting, we did have secretary kerry at the council this week, vice president biden
and kerry was strong but he was strong prime i recall that we wouldn't give away an inch of baltic's territory as they are nato partners. he didn't go so far with ukraine. the problem with sanctions, it's a total new battlefield now where we are using sanctions not to punish the russian for what they're doing but as military deterrence to stop them from what they might do. it's clear the sanctions aren't sufficient to do that or the threat of further sanctions. part of the problem is how dependent europe is on russian energy. we're looking at this wrong. it's not about the ukraine. it's about the future of russia, a nuclear arms state. this is going to go on for years, it's a long game. we're looking for the future of the international system. we're at an inflexion point that could be just as important as the end of world war i and end of world war ii. if we don't shape the international system, then less benevolent actors will step in to do that and that's what we're seeing in ukraine.

breaking news. the jobs numbers are a big story this morning. brian, what are they? >> i don't use the word spectacular much, except to describe you, mika. i'm going to use it for this report here. 288,000 jobs. >> are you serious? >> of course i'm serious, and don't call me shirley. unemployment dropped to 6.3. labor force participation rate, the number of people in the workforce or looking for a job rose as well. professional business services added 75,000. >> hold on --
>> labor force participation rate dropped. >> the number of under employed people stayed steady at 7.5 million. >> but 288, can you knock the number? >> it was going to be 220 and this a really good number. and the revisions for february and march were also very good. >> steve, there have been so many reports over the past three years that we've looked at and they've been disappointing, they've sort of been flat. this is one of the best slices of good news at least -- you can always fudge a 6.8 or 6.5. 288,000, that's a real number. that's something to be excited about for middle class people, working class people trying to get back into the workforce. >> it's an exciting number and it going to be an exciting number in the white house and for a lot of democrats trying to get reelected this fall, if the trend continues. >> 250 would help us get out of
this quagmire, right? we've been receiving this anemic push up and down in the hundreds. 250 is where we needed to be and above to show that we're in economic recovery, that it's stabilized. >> that's right. 200 kind of keeps us whole because of people coming in the labor force. 250 is actually a move in the right direction. now 288. it's the biggest number we've had in a long time. >> average hourly earnings also creeping up again. it just goes up a few cents. it's saying there's demand for your services. if somebody has to pay you more, it's because they think somebody else might be able to take your job or there's competition for the job so that's exciting. >> it's such good news that we baked a cake because we anticipated a 288,000 number. how is it? >> it's very good. >> you're having a taste? >> wow. >> i'm going to go for a slice.
>> since you guys are eating, i'm going to go over the numbers. >> to steve's point, the last month was revised over 200,000 as well here. keep an eye on that. i said that the economy had been getting better for about three years and rattner, you were p pooh-poohing all over me. >> talking about pooh-poohing is not the way to go on the set. >> oh, my god, i love jim gaffigan. and who knows where, joe, the conversation will take us. >> there is the vegetarian hot pocket for those of us who don't want to eat meat but still would like diarrhea. ♪ hot pocket

and you're talking to your rheumatologist about a biologic... this is humira. this is humira helping to relieve my pain. this is humira helping me lay the groundwork. this is humira helping to protect my joints from further damage. doctors have been prescribing humira for ten years. humira works by targeting and helping to block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to ra symptoms. humira is proven to help relieve pain and stop further joint damage in many adults. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal events, such as infections, lymphoma, or other types of cancer, have happened. blood, liver and nervous system problems,
serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure have occurred. before starting humira, your doctor should test you for tb. ask your doctor if you live in or have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. tell your doctor if you have had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have symptoms such as fever, fatigue, cough, or sores. you should not start humira if you have any kind of infection. take the next step. talk to your doctor. this is humira at work. no more forks left. >> at "morning joe," we are passing out the birthday cake. in washington d.c., we have the editor and chief -- >> of "sojourner's" magazine.
and we have jim wallis, author of "the uncommon good." >> jim, always good to you have here. let's talk about a friend. you wrote a tribute to your friend glen stassen, who passed away. >> you write in part, "he taught us all the meaning of jesus and the new order jesus brought into the world. he showed us what it meant to live by the values of that kingdom without ethical equivocation, false dualism or political compromise. no american theologian taught us more about jesus and what it truly means to follow christ than glen stassen. he was a formative influence to students around the world, many of whom are also professors today and all of whom were mentored and not just taught by glen. glen kept calling us all to go deeper into our faith and we will with his ideas, his passion
and his spirit." that's beautiful. >> talk about your friend. >> i remember a tall, thin young man came to visit us at sojourner's community in washington, d.c. he wanted to live with us and help us serve the poor. he said i'm a professor of ethics at the seminary. we were very close friends. everywhere he went, he talked about jesus. not just believing in jesus, but following jesus. that was something i loved about glen. he always talked about jesus. this is what it really means to be an evangelical and why pope francis has touched us all so much because he wants to talk about jesus. that's what glen stassen did. no theologian of his time thought us more about following christ than glen stassen. i'm flying taught his funeral
and we'll give tribute to a man who taught us what it means to be an evangelical, to follow jesus. >> obviously what you and others were taught by him is probably con it and in your new book "the uncommon good," how the gospel brings hope to a divided world. tell us about that. >> joe, you know this town, you were in congress. we've lost this ancient idea of a common good. the last talk hi with glen is about what i think is the moral test of our politics right now, he and i talked about this, the passage of immigration reform, which is a common good. it's keeping families together. it would help the economy, it would -- all that. but it would keep families together. so john boehner said this week glen would have been pleased with the speaker saying "we elect officials to solve problems." i agree with speaker boehner. that means we have to fix this broken system now.
as you know, this week 250 evangelicals, many inspired by glen stassen, came to washington to talk to more than a hundred congress people and they said we have to fix this now, this summer. we can't wait any longer. too much suffering is occurring. that's what glen would have said. he would have said in the middle of left, right, democrat, republican, what does it mean to follow jesus and serve the common good? jesus said love your neighbor as yourself. that's the spiritual foundation for the common good. >> certainly if you talk about a common good, too, you and i probably disagree on a lot of issues and probably disagree on immigration reform and what shape immigration reform should take. but, my gosh, you and i both want what's best for this country, you and i both want what's best for this world. if i'm a progressive and you're a tea party member, you're a
liberal, i'm a conservative, i think that's the greatest breakdown is we can't even sit down and have faith that the other person wants what's best for this country, even if we disagree. >> i remember you had myself and richard land on, a southern baptist and sojourner talking about immigration reform. we disagree on many things you but on that issue we had really come together. let's have a debate about key issue, but we don't trust each other enough, we don't trust each other's intentions enough. the nation is looking for its leaders to solve problems, and glen would talk about how jesus inspires us to -- i would say don't go left, don't go right, go deeper. go deeper. that's what glen always taught us how to do. >> and we can follow his legacy and quite frankly also the book, "the uncommon good" sounds like washington could use, or all us. reverend jim wallis, thank you so much. it's really, really nice to you have on the show. >> always a blessing to be with
you, always a blessing. >> up next, you wanted it. >> yes, i did. >> that's really a better way of putting it. >> i did, i wanted it. i demanded it in fact. >> we got it, the mojoe week in review, next on "morning joe." >> ask and you shall receive. vo: once upon a time there was a boy who traveled to a faraway place where villages floated on water and castles were houses dragons lurked giants stood tall and the good queen showed the boy it could all be real avo: whatever you can imagine, all in one place expedia, find yours the was a truly amazing day. without angie's list, i don't know if we could have found all the services we needed for our riley. for over 18 years we've helped people

great state of colorado, a half million in january, almost five million. you asked? >> is colorado legitimizing the pot business? the answer of course is yes. that's exactly what they are doing. they are legitimizing it. they are creating financial infrastructure for this brand-new business. as you say, the feds,ç the big banks, they can't accept all this money. >> it's federally illegal. >> it's federally illegal and the banks don't want to give the obama team an excuse to crack down on the banks by saying you're dealing in drug money there, boys, we're going to hit you hard. so they've got to come up with an alternative. and they have. >> and the thing about -- and the reason we put that graphic up a moment ago is to show you we're talking about millions and millions of dollars largely in cash. you know, there's a safety issue. i get that. but at the same time it is like what are they going to do? because they've got this carvingout in colorado, tzey've got to figure out
what to do with the money. >> it's all about the money. the politicians want to set up an alternative financial structure because of the tax money coming in. nearly $5 million walked into the door in pot shops in the month of, i think it was march. that doesn't include all the money that comes in from pot tourism which is pretty robust in colorado. that. >> people fly into colorado because they want to smoke marijuana recreationally and legally. there is a cottage industry organizing tourists to fly in, toke up and away you go. i think that is the correct expression, ladies and gentlemen. what colorado is doing with its alternate banking system -- and that's what they're setting up here, that is the template khr-l be used across the coqáry if recreational marijuana extends beyond colorado. in washington state in july they will need a similar alternate banking system. they will probably copy what colorado has come up. they are legitimizing it.

put those name out and hopefully we'll got this panel going. we would like to see some of those who were on the ground that night and able to talk for the first time. if you can get them in fronts of that panel where we do not know the answers but we can ask legitimate questions on what it was like surviving that attack, that would be compelling. we have not seen that. admiral mullen didn't see that. ambassador pickering didn't see this. >> i want to hear from some white house people. it looks like the spin started there. >> perhaps it did. i think the important note is right questions and getting answers. let the decision be what it is based on truthful facts. the guy who runs veterans affairs, general shenseki, has been subpoenaed. he's got the support of the white house. john boehner said yesterday, it's a problem that is systemic and just replacing the guy at the top isn't going to fix things. what we're learning now is it's not just in phoenix where we heard about the situation where maybe 40 veterans died because they were on some made up
waiting list. now apparently a scheduling clerk, 40-year-old government employee is seeking whistle blowing protection. apparently they've got a situation where this looks like they're gotting to people quickly in san antonio and austin. so it is systemic. >> what happens if you're a veteran and you're supposed to get medical attention? you got 14 days to get an appointment. they've been putsing in false records and stringing out people that are in their last legs or deemed to be someone barely hanging on and essentially are on a death list. i thought it would be arizona and colorado. now it seems to have spread to texas. which makes you wonder what, could general shenseki say to keep his job next week? here with more is an arizona veteran. >> i thought at least one thing i have i can depend upon was my country to take care of me when i get older. i never knew i was going to get
this. cancer. i'm just like i don't want to die because of some waiting list like other men have. >> gosh, they risk their life going to battle for us and then here, hearts-researching to hear that their biggest fight is to stay alive under the system as it is in the v.a. >> it is so wrong. we're supposed to take care of these guys, yet the government is turning their backs on them and making stuff up. in the meantime, let's turn to heather nauert who we can counts on with the headlines. we start with a deadly house fire. >> that story we told but yesterday. we have an update for you in florida. now new developments in the deadly house fired at james blake's house in tampa. investigators are saying that all four family members had been shot. there was a gun that was recovered inside that home and it was actually reject sistered to the father -- registered to the father. police say they are now investigating the possibility of a murder-suicide. there is new surveillance video that we're getting in. it shows this, campbell buying
$600 worth of fireworks on sunday and he paid in cash. he also bought several gas cans. we'll keep you posted on the details. here is what not to do on a dating show. it's not a good idea to admit you killed your first wife. okay. this was on a turkish dating show. that 62-year-old man also confessed to murdering another lover. this time with an ax. he says he spent four years behind bars for killing his wife and then another six years behind bars for killing the girlfriend. he says he's an honest guy who is looking for a new wife. oh, boy. would you believe him? the producers apparently knew that he had killed someone when they let him on the show. this again on turkish tv show. the iron i don't here if the show is called "luck of the
draw." that's one you don't want to draw. while you were sleeping, new details about the mass kidnapping in nigeria. the government there now naming the names of more than 50 of the young girls who have escaped their kidnappers. this is considered a controversial move because the girls could now face a stigma from other groups in that area. the terror group boko haram abducted 300 girls. the girls were likely split up and sent to neighboring countries by now. here are bravest dogs you will hear. two bulldogs breaking through their enclosure when they saw giant black bear stroll to a bird feeder in their yard. look at this right there. isn't that amazing? they surround the bear and the stand-off lasts a few seconds. the bear seems to consider his options and then he runs off. way to go, bulldogs. that happened in new hampshire. >> it's like a cartoon. did that really happen? was this a machine in a bear suit -- was this a man in a bear
suit? >> i would like to hear from witnesses. >> thank you, heather. speaking of new hampshire -- >> bears travel in packs. >> wolves travel in packs. >> why are bears always alone. joel, do you know? >> e-mail us if you have the answer. >> do you have a couple of sleeping bear hibernating in the same cave, it gets noisy. >> if you know why bears travel alone, please let's us know. >> she was just talking about new hampshire. up in new hampshire, there is a democrat, tim organ is in the state house. it's interesting, they're considering legislation where you can't use your food stamp money for guns, foe back co, booze, lottery tickets, adult entertainment, tattoos or body piercing. this guy says wait a minute. maybe -- listen to this -- maybe you should be able to use it to buy a gun. >> the firearms ban is a blatant violation of the second
amendment. presumably you have the same rights to purchase guns like the rest of us for sporting or self-defense. they do have the right under the second amendment to do so. >> he actually said the inclusion of officials seemed ironic. we want to know your thoughts on this. >> food stamps are for food. >> right. i'll either get a bazooka gun or gum. you make the choice, honey. >> what happens when you runoff money for food? >> right. >> are you going to take the gun and rob a store? >> should i get something to eat oar get more ammo? >> there was the story of a woman who couldn't get dog food with her card. so raising a lot of brows. send us a post and let us know. >> let me tell you what's coming up next. we just told you that only seven democrats voted for the select committee to get answers on

announced today. the question, will those 186 democrats who voted against it stage a boycott or put five people up to be part of the 12-person force? let's ask one of the representatives, jerry connally. you voted against having it, but now that you have it, where do you stand? what will be your sense this morning when you meet with other democrats on whether they should participate in this? >> thanks for having me, brian. yeah. i did vote against it because i don't know that we need a select committee. we've had four committees in the house and other committees in the senate looking at benghazi since it occurred. but i think the answer to your question is frankly going to be two things. one is what happens in our caucus this morning in terms of the nature of the discussion and where we're going to head and the second is the rules of engagement. what kind of procedures are going to be in place to ensure minority rights, that we have equitable representation in the
deliberations and in the decision making of such a select panel. >> so you want to make sure you have enough time to ask the questions of whatever witnesses are forward, you want lead time to know who they were, access to prior to their testimony? >> those are some of them, yes. i would add to that, though, strict rules of engagement in terms of fair play. so we get to have our witnesses as well. we are consulted with and have some say over the issuance of subpoenas. i'm on the oversight and government reform committee and frankly those minority rights have been completely trampled over and if that's the experience, there is no way democrats want to repeat that with a select committee. >> cummings is push to go make democrats participate in this and he's a guy we always see next to darrell issa sometimes in a contentious way. that would indicate maybe that that's something you guys should do.
>> obviously we have to weigh carefully whether we're at the table or not at the table. the republicans have clearly pretty much on a party line vote. you have emphasized seven democrats, but that's pretty much a party line vote. they created a select committee in rather rushed fashion. the question is, are we better off being at the table to try to make sure it's a balanced approach and that will be determined at our caucus meeting this morning. >> we'll got an answer today and thanks so much for previewing that. let's ask you about the irs investigation. lois lerner is held in contempt. six democrats voted in favor of contempt and 26 in favor of a special council to investigate it. when she stood up and took the fifth about targeting tea party groups, you knew somebody would happen. where do you stand on this? >> you know, i think actually conservatives need to be concerned about the issue of fifth amendment rights. the fifth amendment was there not for angels, but to protect
all americans, innocent and guilty from self-incrimination. it's one of ten enumeratessed rights in the bill of rights. and we have to take that very, very seriously. i think case law no matter what you think of lois lerner, case law is very clear here. she did not waive her fifth amendment right. even though we'd like to get her testimony. >> even though she made those statements prior you don't feel that way. >> it's not a matter of how i feel. it's a matter of case law addressing exactly that example. >> having said that. as an american, does it bother you in 2013, 14, i don't care who is in power, that the irs is using their power perhaps to target any group? i thought this would be one time in which democrats and republicans were equally outraged. >> actually when we began this process, we were. unfortunately, the republican majority then took it off to try to make it a political partisan effort to try to damage the
president. it didn't work. the president got reelected. yeah. we don't want to see the irs -- we didn't like it when nixon used it. >> all right. congressman, always great to talk to you. thanks so much. hopefully we'll get something positive out of today's meeting. >> thank you. coming up, they helped him in the white house twice. so why are unions turning on the president today? we'll find out. plus, you just heard them join me this this segment. babies are invading our studio. how you can use your children to lose weight. ♪ ♪ get all your favorites all day, everyday. olive garden's signature favorites, just $10 including creamy fettuccine alfredo, and our classic lasagna. plus unlimited soup or salad and warm breadsticks. signature favorites, just $10 all week long, at olive garden.

>> no, no, no. i liked some of the jokes. overall, i didn't think it was as classic as "animal house." it wasn't a classic by any means. most people were giving it really, really high ratings, but i thought it was very middle of the road. >> i've been waiting for a review on "moms night out." what do you say 'cause i'm going. >> this is a move yes that really surprised me. it really gave me a deeper appreciation for how awesome moms are. i feel like the struggle that sarah drew's character has in this movie with her character and the idea that she deals with these tough struggles of being a mom and i love the idea of how it highlights that because she realizes that not every day is going to be great. and you're dealing with three women who go out for a night out. they leave the kids home with their fathers and everything goes wrong. everything you can possibly think of goes wrong. that part i felt was a bit unrealistic at times. but overall, it was the message is about moms and how awesome moms really are. and i love that aspects of it. for me, i called my mom when i
got out of the movie. i wanted to tell her i loved her. it made me appreciate how awesome she was. i gave the movie a 3 1/2 out of five. i really enjoyed some of the aspects of it. again, if you can suspend your disbelief a little bit and get past the unrealistic moments, you can actually get a really good message here. >> in reading your material, i didn't realize our buddy, trace adkins, was in the movie and you loved him. >> trace adkins is the best part of the movie! he plays this character called bones and he's like head of this motorcycle gang and he's absolutely hilarious. i wanted more of him in the movie. they didn't use him as much as i wanted them to. but he is the best part. i want to say in the spirit of mother's day, happy mother's day to my mom, jill. she's watching right now. she watches every single day for "fox & friends." i love you so much and thank you for supporting my obsession with movies and thank you for letting me watch "terminator 2" when i was eight years old that. movie made me fall in love with movies. thank you. >> just because you've said that on television doesn't mean you don't have to send hear card.
>> i know a strategy. >> i'm sending her >> they better be big! thank you very much. have a great weekend. >> thanks. thanks lot. >> he seemed sincere. >> did he. so that's what kevin says you should waste your money on this weekend. >> waste your money on? >> i mean spend your machine on this weekend. coming up straight ahead, your e-mails have been pour not guilty all morning on some of the topics. for example, this one. can your wife nagging actually kill you? >> geraldo has a wife. and he's going to weigh in on that and benghazi and so much more you start tomorrow? tomorrow we're booked solid.

good morning. it's friday, may 9, 2014. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. seven democrats break ranks and approve a selects committee to get answers on benghazi and the others wants to be on it. but they aren't interested in answers. we'll tell what you they do want instead when chris wallace joins us live from washington. a veteran affected by the v.a. cover-up speaking out. >> i'm just like i don't want to die because of some waiting list like other men have. >> he's a victim and now a whistle blower says it's not just phoenix. if you're in texas, find out where the problem hospitals are there. >> welcome to the hotel sharia. the man who owns the beverly hills hotel just adopted in his native land the brutal law that says it's okay to stone people to death. now the celebrities suddenly realize that, they're beginning
to boycott that place. in fact, it's almost entirely empty. how they're losing millions and when does the iconic hotel step up and maybe get sold? according to all reports, this is friday, and mornings are better with friends. >> i'm terry bader from the mirage in las vegas. you're watching "fox & friends." >> you don't have enough guys impersonating turtles these days. >> right. but we have sad news about impersonators. tony the tiger, the voice of tony the tiger, he's great, but he's passed away. >> he has. >> but the quisp guy is still okay. >> we've got geraldo in the on deck circle. he's on in just a moment. but first we turn to heather. you start with benghazi. >> yeah. the house of representatives passed a resolution to create a select committee on benghazi to investigate that. all republicans voted for it. seven democrats broke with their parties to vote yes.
so here is the big question now will those 186 democrats who voted against it stage a boycott? democrats are meeting about an hour from now to talk about this apparently. representstive connally from virginia talked about this earlier on "fox & friends." >> the question is, are we better off being at the table to try to make sure it's a balanced approach and that will be determined at our caucus meeting this morning. >> the members of that select committee are expected to be announced later today. we'll watch that story throughout the day for you. new information is now heading to house lawmakers investigating the irs scandal of conservative groups. less than a day after the house held lois lerner in contempt, the irs agrees to turn over all e-mails and other communications as evidence. republicans are saying that her actions could be criminal. listen to this. >> we believe that she violated people's constitutional rights, their rights to due process and
that's actually criminal in nature and so this is very serious and we want to find ou far this goes and we're going to follow these e-mails wherever they lead us. >> republicans have been demanding the documents for months now. the irs commissioner has set it could take years to produce everything that they have. the show must go on. four days after nine performers plunged 30 feet to the ground, ringling brothers & barnum & bailey circus is open for business again. there are now eight scheduled shows through sunday. that human chandelier stunts, that will actually not be performed. seven of the injured acrobats are still hospitalized this morning. and if you're married or in a relationship, listen to this one. nagging apparently can take a toll on any relationship. some more than others. >> all i ask is that you show a little bit of appreciation, that i just get 20 minutes to relax when i come home instead of being attacked with questions and nagged the whole time!
>> you think i nag you? >> there is a new study out that claims nagging can actually kill you. there is researchers who say that excessive demands from loved ones can more than double the risk of death in middle age. men are apparently at higher risk. >> of course. >> because it's said they keep all that bottled up. >> we have no one to talk to. >> what about women? we got nagged, too. >> you have people to vents to. you have your neighbors and high school friends. >> you are currently nagging. thank you very much. your e-mail and tweets pouring it. marla writes, if you do what we ask you, we won't nag you, duh. >> ashley says, i don't like to nag. i prefer to be listened to the first time. how can you ignore my wishes and expect me to be happy? >> can you tell women actually picked these out? >> no kidding. louis says, i gained some weight because my wife kept nagging that she wanted to see more of
me. so she got more of me. that's hysterical. geraldo rivera, you've -- >> stop nagging. >> you've been in relationships. >> you might say. >> right. was nagging ever a role in the destruction of those relationships? >> you know, when you're looking for an excuse to get out of a relationship, you seize on anything and nagging is an easy one. i can honestly say, they say that you're only as happy as you're unhappiest child. you're also only as happy as your unhappiest spouse. so if she's not happy, i'm not happy. so i try make her happy. >> happy wife, happy life. >> that's right. >> happy wives, happy life. >> one more thing to talk to the doctor about. >> could i just say that i see you have a boxing segment planned. i hope it works as well as the exercise with your baby segment because that was brilliant. wasn't this for birth control? i think it worked like a charm. >> you know what's even better? when you're talking to a congressman and the babies come
marching in. >> i love that. >> it sounded a little like washington. >> lot of whining. >> it sounds like the white house is surrounding general shenseki who heads up the veterans affairs administration and it looks like they've got big problems. john boehner yesterday said it's systemic. we have discovered that he's been subpoenaed. we now have discovered it's not just phoenix. it's also austin and it's san antonio as well. it looks like whistle blower coming forward. it's a big problem. >> speaker boehner is right, it is systemic. i've done the expose every decade. this is the fifth decade it's happened. the v.a. has a chronic problem. it has since the post-vietnam era at least. i just caution to tread slowly when it comes to generic shenseki. shear why: -- here is why: he was a twice decorated wounded hero from vietnam. this is the real deal.
man stepped on a land mine, went back into the service after he lost half a foot. he was the army chief of staff in the joint chiefs, the highest ranking japanese american ever in the armed forces of the united states. he's a guy that is very, very admirable. if indeed, however, he knew or should have known that these problems existed, then the american legion might be right about demanding his resignation. i just, because of this man's resume, i just say let's go slow. let's make sure that he is to blame. obviously the story is disgusting and it's malignant and it's going to go -- >> respecting that office, of course, and you know that he's possibly tried to do. so keeping an open mind is a great point. listen to this one veteran because this is heart breaking. he says he came back and he thought the very least, he could depend on his country and he's fighting for his life because of this situation.
>> i thought at least, one thing i have i can depend upon was my country to take care of me when i get older. i never knew i was going to get this, cancer. i'm just like i don't want to die because of some waiting list like other men have. >> in arizona, 40 died waiting for an appointment. >> terrible. as horrifying as that is, the fact that they kept two sets of books, that they kept one official record that showed a reasonable waiting time and a real list that showed the actual waiting time, allegedly leading to some fatalities, i think that deceit might be the heart of a real congressional investigation. >> everyone talks about edward snowedden and what he should have done. now you have whistle blowers coming forward. let's show these guys coming forward, protect their identity, let's them have the freedom to come forward and let them be effective. >> agreed. the problem with the federal civil servants is they protect themselves. we did a story yesterday. one in 1,000 members of the epa
were fired in a single year. one out of 1,000. you're more likely to die of a heart attack than to get fired. nobody gets fired in these federal agencies. the v.a. is one of them. this is a case that cries, it seems to me, certainly the keeps of the second set of records should clearly be fired. >> all right. >> what do you think about -- shifting gears -- about the sharia law in the hotel. the hotel we're looking at says you will die being stoned if you are guilty of certain crimes. we have hollywood celebrities boycotting this hotel, beverly hills hotel. it's iconic. >> it's icon iraq, along with the bellaire owned by the same owner. the dor chester in london -- i'll tell you a quick story. when the people bought norchester in london, i swear to god this happened to me. i worked at abc at the time. walked into my suite on the 7th floor in london, there
were people in full desert regalia cooking a lamb. >> in a room? >> on the balcony of their own suite. they were cooking a lamb on the balcony. i thought that the snooty dorchester in london was falling on hard times. i'll cut to the bellaire where i always stayed. it's in my contract that i stay will when i go there. whoever i work for. that's all been in my contract. i don't like boycotts generally. i didn't like when the gays boycotted chick-fil-a. you may remember. if you don't want to go to a place and you don't want to patronize a place, that's well and good. but don't pressure others to follow your lead. in this case, sharia law we hate it. it's ownerous, stoning and all the rest. i understand the argument against sharia law, but if you start putsing the politics of the owner at play in terms of whether other people can patronize it, if you don't want to, that's fine.
don't go. but when you start saying, brian, you can't go, or i stand in fronts of you, elisabeth, when you want to go and i know all the employees of the bellaire, some of them, my son was raised at the bellaire, what happens to the employees when the hotel was empty? how long did they stay employed? there are consequences. >> that's true. and i understand you always have an interesting way on this stuff. it's fascinating. but if you believe that these women are being persecuted, if you believe a whole country is oppressing a gender or an ethnic group and you want to make a stand, that's courageous. and having ellen degeneres and jay leno come forward and say, i'm taking my business elsewhere. >> that's fine. if you don't want to get the chick-fil-a sandwich because you think he's antes gay, then don't go there. go to wendy's or some other place. that's fine. but when you stand in my way and i don't believe the politics
that you have, then i think it's anti-american. i don't like it. >> a protest of getting into that hotel. >> it's intimidating. political correctness is fine and you go with the flow and generally speaking, we believe as they believe in broad strokes. it's just that you have your right to take the stand that you do. just don't stand in my way. >> geraldo rivera, who as we just learned, has that in his contract, he can stay there -- in my contract, i have to sleep in my car. >> no tell motel. >> in my contract it says stay away from geraldo. coming up, the government wants to slash pay and benefits to our military. so there must not be anything tells cut, right? wrong. try the 150 bucks a gallon it spends on green jet fuel. >> then one driver wanted in the car pool -- wanted into the car pool lane so bad, he tried to pass this thing up. it's a real person. wait until you hear how this one

army infantry captain and ranger and senior advisor for concerned vets for america. he joins us today from pittsburgh. good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. how is it going? >> going okay. although people watching this right now, their blood pressure will start ticking up. >> it's outrageous. >> 150 bucks for jet fuel, but it's green jet fuel. >> this is just another example of a wasteful government spending program and overall indicative of a department of defense that just does not have its priorities straight at all. any time i see a piece like this, i wonder why is the department of defense involved in the biofuel industry in the first place? that's why we have a department of energy. let the scientists and the laboratories research whether or not biofuel is a lucrative in the military. but what i want the department of defense to do is focus on one thing and one thing only. that's winning wars and protecting the american people. that's what i want. on top of that, let's make sure that we honor the sacrifice of
our servicemen and women who served in war. >> what are we doing on capitol hill? they're cutting the budgets for all sorts of things involving our military. but at the same time, we got money to pay 150 bucks a gallon for this algae gas. they're going to run in some jet airplanes. when i was -- we saw the headline and i started to read about it. it turns out these things are being produced -- i know of one case where it was produced by a company that had been a big democratic donor. because they're small companies, rather than giving them an outright loan, they're simply buying the gas for 150 bucks a gallon to subsidize these outfits. >> yeah. it's the government stabbing in the dark to try to pick a biofuel. what they should be doing is trying to improve the fuel efficiency across the spectrum of the military incrementsally so we don't outpace technology. that's what we want to do. that will save money. it will make our force more fuel efficient. and it will increase operational capabilities. but no.
instead we're investing a lot of time and money in biofuels that's not technologically viable in the open market and wasting time. we face a fiscal crisis in this nation, the likes of which have never been seen before. we're dealing with an administration that spends like a teen-ager with a credit card. we need leaders to step up to make tough decisions right now and there are probably 100 programs exactly like this that can be cut prior to getting to cutting the and i benefits of our military servicemen and women. >> a guy with a teen-ager with a credit card, i know exactly what you're talk being right there. if i got the balance statement and said 150 bucks, she suspense on a gallon of gas, i'd hit the roof. as america will as well when they find out about this. sean, always a pleasure. thank you very much for joining us. have a great weekend. >> steve, can i just make one more points? >> sure. >> listen, it's mother's day. we've got mothers all across this nation that aren't going to be able to be with their loved one. we are a nation that's still at war. let's remember and pray for those mothers this weekend.

somebody on there, on that committee to protect hillary clinton? that's exactly right. that's the choice they've got to make. because let's say they bring hillary clinton up and you've just got seven republicans, they could sit there and just hammer her with questions and we all know that sometimes somebody -- this goes with both parties -- that somebody from the other party, in this case, would be the democrat -- can sit there and protect and rehabilitate and say, isn't it so, madam secretary clinton, that when you did this, you had -- and kind of lead the witness in a safer direction. so it's kind of wbr-id "wbr94500" an interesting choice that the democrats have to make as to how they want to play this. chris, it will be interesting 'cause you'll have an answer by the time the show comes up. there's a big meeting today for democrats. maybe by the end of the day, they not only decide if they'll participate, but if they do, name the people they want to be part of the panel. yeah. i think there is a possibilities they won't do it because nancy pelosi is playing this very close to the chest. there is a lot of stuff that has to be done. they have to get all of the
staff that is -- what's happening is they're taking all the staff of foreign affairs and intelligence and all these other oversight and they're going to put them all together in this one committee, all the thousands and thousands of documents. so the democrats have a little time to play this out. >> i have an idea to save some time. it's been over 20 months. four of our americans are dead and we haven't gotten any answers and the account abilities. how about we tell the truth? that takes a little bit of time only, right? >> that's the last resort in washington. >> yeah. >> chris wallis, we'll be watching you this sunday. before you go, do you need to apologize to anybody else? >> no. i think that's it. and brian, i want to say that as far as i'm concerned, you are brian morning talk television. like johnny football, you're morning show television. >> thank you very much. what a nice thing to say. >> i still would pick you with a 22nd pick, i'm sorry. >> now that you made up with me. just one person to make up with and you'll have a good weekend. >> we'll see. you don't know mrs. sunday. >> she holds a grudge.

who in my opinion seems way out of his depth. i think that was proven yesterday. he said i'm going to continue, the president wants me there. >> this may be something where he is in over his head. >> people at the v.a. have known for years, they have had internal reviews in the past. they have known for years this is a problem. how many american heroes died waiting for treatment? we heard a lot of republicans yesterday, we heard a lot of democrats all outraged. let's start with the republican, he is from nevada, dean heller, asked point-blank, general shinseki, why shouldn't your head roll. >> would you explain to me after all this information why you should not resign? >> i tell you, senator, i came here to make things better for veterans. that was my appointment by the president. every day i start out with the intent and in fact provide as much care and benefits for the people i
went to war with and the people i spent a good portion of my life doing. this is not a job. i'm here to accomplish a mission that i think they critically deserve and need. >> but it's not happening. it's not happening. so you would think that maybe he thought he should probably get out of there. this is going to be so interesting for me. it's going to be the first time that i can remember over the last six years that democrats and republicans are going to legitimately pursue an investigation on the same page. and if they both do that, let's see if they actually get answers. >> i think you and charles krauthammer on the same page with that one. williams said we should keep an eye out for real rage or faux rage. it would be unbelievable to think anybody wouldn't want to side on this side of the line to protect our veterans. the v.a. shouldn't be a death sentence for those who have laid down their life and been willing to sacrifice at all for us.
this is juan williams saying take a good look. >> what democrats are doing is making sure it's clear to the american public that they are outraged by this, they are supportive to our military. shinseki himself, i think, has the credentials as a four-star general, former war hero. i think that is their efforts to prevent any kind of political damage going forward. >> it would be hard for either political party to support what is going on. you were talking about not only a coverup -- they have known for years about these fake lists -- document destruction, corruption and ultimately death. we heard about the 40 deaths in arizona, but apparently there is another report, 23 vets died waiting for simple cancer screenings. this goes back four years, 13 stilts in nine different states -- 13 facilities in nine different states.
it is across the country. and for people who say it's not a big scandal, you just aren't paying attention. not only is it a big substantial, it is at the very heart of what we're supposed to provide for our veterans. >> the ranks of veterans waiting for more than a year for their benefits was at 11,000 in 2009. thought that was bad? it is now up to 245,000 waiting for benefits as of december of 2013. >> by the v.a.'s own admission, it is less than 42% of the veterans who fit in that under 14-day waiting period to get treated to maintain health but be treated for something that ultimately could kill them. most americans in this fox news poll think this administration's skapblgs skapblgs -- scandals are a big deal. 37% of those polled think the president's handling of benghazi is a serious matter. >> when you look at the
n.s.a. scandal, 53% of you think it is a serious matter. 52% for benghazi and the i.r.s. scandal is 44%. i think it is curious, we've heard from eric holder and he said the department of justice not ready to get involved. we're just going to monitor the situation. >> why? >> because they're investigating it at the v.a. let's think, department of justice, they investigated themselves regarding the, looking into reporters' background. the n.s.a., they're taking care of that. the i.r.s., they've got that handled as well; no criminality. this looks like, it could be, did it not touch so many americans lives, this could be another one of those stonewalling things. but in this case a lot of americans die. >> people are dying in the meantime. there is no time to go through a full investigation and delay while these veterans are dying. this is a death sentence right now. something has got to be done. john mccain actually
calling for jail for those that were involved and knowingly allowed this all to happen. >> he's right. it is nine minutes after the hour on this friday. we've got breaking news. now let's turn to heather nauert who's got some shoes on. >> good morning. we talked a lot about the winter and droughts in california affecting the wildfire season right now. this is a fox news alert. overnight two teenagers arrested on suspicion of trying to start a fire in southern california. this as multiple wildfires are raging and tens of thousands of people are forced to be on the move this morning. they are trying to escape the flames that have ravaged more than 10,000 acres so far and may have killed at least one person. the exact cause of the wildfires remains unclear at this time but officials are not ruling out arson. listen to this one coming in from overseas. a pregnant woman sentenced to death by a sudanese court because she is christian. she has been convicted of apostasy or the disaffiliation from a

show? >> yes. there we are. selfies. i took a lot of selfies. we have a family-style relationship. speaking of family, star jones and rosie o'donnell, that was the first moment we saw each other in a long time. >> everybody seems so happy in that picture. >> yeah, you know, we're faking it. interestingly enough, barbara has the ability to take all of the opinions and any divisive moment anyone has on the program and bring everyone together yesterday. everyone was happy for her. it was such a truly selfless day for all just to give honor to the one person. >> i saw one quote from rosie o'donnell. she was asked what do you miss about the show? she goes fighting with the skinny girl, meaning you. >> rosie, we had that big split screen moment. i told her then i would not defend the idea that our troops were terrorists. i won't defend it now.
it is indefensible. but i do believe she may have a different heart about it. yesterday none of that came up. i was so thankful because it was all about barbara. >> barbara walters, the first lady of journalism, a former first lady was actually there yesterday. >> look who i bumped into. talk about accidental selfies. i'm going to tell you more about this. there is a story behind that arm reach, the left arm reach. it was actually her idea. >> it was? >> no, it wasn't. >> did elisabeth invite hillary clinton to sit on this couch right here? we're going to find out in 15 minutes. put down that remote; it's a busy day. it looks like a great day. >> it actually was very special. barbara, i think she cried. >> what kind of a tree was she yesterday? a weeping willow. >> she was. 13 minutes after the hour right now. >> something the v.a. secretary said on capitol hill yesterday, being called the second biggest

veterans affairs secretary eric shinseki, the general, grilled on the hill yesterday over numerous veterans affairs scandals. however, he says he did not fail the veterans who were left to die. >> any allegation, any adverse incident like this makes me as -- makes me mad as hell. i could use stronger language, sure, mr. chairman, but in deference to the committee, i won't.
>> joining us is fox news contributor and the c.e.o. of concerned veterans for america, captain pete hegseth. good morning, captain. >> good morning. >> why should he get fired? >> because he failed at his job. he's been there for six years. the department is failing veterans. we're seeing folks dying on secret lists. he wants to stand there and call it a good system and then he stands there and says these are isolated incidents when facts that were presented before him and he's even shown this is a widespread problem, an infected v.a. system that he has been aware of and only once the media shines of light of scrutiny on the department do they start putting people on administrative leave and even then he's doing it only because the i.g. is recommending it. this is not a guy leading the department now. >> you've got inspector generals at the v.a. inspecting themselves. they have known since 2010 about these gaming strategies. it is systemic. it obviously has come from the top. one of the problems at the
v.a. is if you hit your number as a manager, you get a bonus. it looks like people cooked the books to hit their numbers, and people died. >> absolutely. and what's different than private industry is the veterans don't get a choice in the scenario. they're going to that hospital no matter what. those administrators are taking that fixed volume of veterans, fudging the numbers, cooking the books to make the numbers look good for their administrators to get a big bonus. washington thinks the veterans are waiting two weeks. that veteran is waiting; months not getting the preventive care and so we've got guys dying while waiting on secret lists. >> to the best of our knowledge the secret lists are not being used now. do we have any indication that the waiting times are less? >> no. the problem is even getting rid of shinseki if he's fired doesn't change a culture mired in bureaucracy, that's mired in process. it doesn't incentivize clerks or technicians or others to work faster, to
be more efficient. that is the problem with the system. >> how do we fix it right now? >> congress has to provide an oversight function and start holding people accountable. there is going to be a vote on the house floor next week, v.a. management accountability act that would give any leader the ability to fire bad managers. the onus will be on the senate and the president. let's see if harry reid and president obama are going to put their money where their mouth is and start to st up for veterans. there is going to be a vote and a bill where they can do just that and we'll see, because there is a lot of rhetoric but there hasn't been a lot of action. this reform is a real bite. >> extraordinarily we have not heard from the commander in chief since he was traveling abroad. >> nothing. >> nothing. that speaks volumes. pete hegseth, thank you for joining us today. >> you got it. >> 20 minutes after the top. this heisman winner says he forgot to pay but what does the video show? does it show him stealing crab legs? stay tuned.

for spectators who saw the special moment the girls came away winners. joining us now are the inspiring duo, sisters chloe and claire tkpwraoupb tkpwraoupb -- chloe and claire gruenke. how are you feeling now? >> surprised at the way everything is happening. >> is your leg okay? >> it's better now. >> you had an exhausting day. what happened to you? >> i did well in my first lap. when i came around to the second, my leg started to hurt and i fell to the ground from pain. i couldn't get back up. then claire came right behind me and said come on, chloe, you have to finish this. she stood up and motioned me to get on her back and i got on her back. she was jogging at first. i said claire, we're not going to be able to finish if you jog. i told her to walk and we
walked the rest. on the last 100, she was walking and she sat me down right before the finish line and kept pushing me to go first. i didn't want to go first. i wanted her to finish with me. we finished at the same time. >> i watched this with my daughter and she was so moved. this is a great message for many. the crowd, i hear, went wild. in a society where everyone is pressured to win, you chose to not let your sister stay behind. what were you thinking? why did you do this? >> it just came like natural to me like i have to help her. i have to have her finish at least. it doesn't matter if she doesn't win as long as she finishes it. >> what was your parents' reaction? claire? >> they were in tears, both of them. >> and your coaches? >> they were also in tears. >> here's the big question.
chloe, if claire fell, would you carry her? >> i probably would. i would help her get up, ask her if she needed it and then i'd help her. >> great. what's the next race for you all? >> well, next year in high school. >> you're going into what grade? >> ninth. we're going into ninth, yeah. >> i have a feeling any team, any coach would be more than proud to have you representing them. well done, girls. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> claire and chloe, thanks so much. we'll follow you. eat plenty of liquids and please stretch before you run. >> i'm going to carry brian in our spartan today to honor you. >> i don't know if you're allowed to stay home but we're actually doing a spartan race later and if elisabeth goes down, she's going to stay down. i'm not going to do the chair and chloe method.

tomorrow, by the way, is barbara walters' last day hosting "the view." after 53 years in broadcasting barbara is retiring and this morning they had a special show to send her off. they brought back all 11 kurpt and former -- current and former cohosts of "the view." there were no survivors. >> actually we have the one who was on "survivor." >> that's right. that is almost true. it was a special day. we got to pay tribute to barbara and all she's done for us. then look who i ran into in the hall. >> hillary rodham clinton. >> that is hillary clinton. >> how did that go? >> i said hi, do you take selfies? she said at this point what difference does it make? she said of course. we took the selfie and we talked a little bit about family. she's expecting a grand baby. i almost asked her about
benghazi and i thought not the place. then i said why don't you come -- she has a book coming out -- i said why don't you visit with us on "fox & friends," to which her assistant said okay. then she said okay. and i thought that was a yes. so i think maybe she'll come. i think it would be a great conversation to have. >> when you were on"the view" when she was running for the nomination she was on about five times. >> at the end of the race, ed rendell told us nobody was fair in the mainstream media to hillary clinton than fox news. >> i remember watching it thinking the same thing. i think it would be a fantastic opportunity to have a great conversation and reach a broad audience. >> and we sell a lot of books. if you have a book out, that's what you want to do. >> i'm banking on her keeping that "okay" word.
>> maybe we should put up the selfie every day until she returns. selfie day one. selfie day two. >> in a moment we're going to find out what the spartan race is all about. i'll go out on the veranda. >> the producers have done a great job. heather nauert, you saw as well, one of us is going to wind up going home today -- >> dead. >> from the hospital. it's so dangerous. that's the easy part. it's the big wall and it's the thing you've got to climb. it's that thing down at the end. it's that -- remember gym class when you used to have to climb up the ropes? >> yes. >> i never did that. i'm tkpwog do it -- i'm going to do it today. >> guys, we talk about we all have trouble sleeping from time to time. that brings us to this first story, a wake up call for anybody who uses a sleeping pill called lunesta. the f.d.a. lowering the dose of that popular drug.
the reason? the pill you take at night could make it dangerous for you to drive to work the next morning. there is new data showing people might not be alert enough to drive to work even if they feel totally awake. the f.d.a. starting to cut that dose in half. there is new surveillance video out there. it captures the moment the heisman trophy winner jameis winston shoplifted crab legs from a store in florida. the video shows picking up the crab legs, walking around the store and then walked out the door. he says he forgot to pay for it. he wasn't charged but was suspended for three games and had to do 20 hours of community service. an attempt to reach out to women voters has some calling for a california assembly candidate sexist. a sacramento democrat sending out campaign pot holders addressed only to
women. he claims it was to appeal to female voters. >> i use them when i'm at home. i don't want to burn myself. >> well, that makes sense? send me a potholder. the pot holders came with a letter slamming fong's g.o.p. running mate. the girl scouts in one georgia city, they may soon actually need a permit if they want to sell cookies door to door. yeah, that is right, steve. the city council in the town of snellville, georgia, proposing a measure that would require them to apply for a permit and submit to a background check. the city council said too many homeowners have complained about those pesky door to door solicitors. and those are your headlines. i'd love to hear what our viewers have to think about that. it is actually the parents who need the background check. >> be prepared.
let's go out to the streets of new york city. maria molina i think is going to be competing against me in that crazy race where somebody is going to not do well. >> and i will win, of course. >> i'll let you. >> have you seen some of these obstacle courses. they're 14 feet high. that is going to go great coming up later on this morning. you need to tune in and watch. the weather conditions a bit of an obstacle across parts of the northeast. we have a chance to see rain here in new york city and surrounding areas of the northeast and there is the potential for flooding. as much as three to even five inches of rain are forecast throughout the day today. keep a heads up because there is going to be the threat for flooding across the northeast. temperature-wise, it is very cool. a little bit unusually cool across parts of the great lakes. chicago currently 40 degrees. even for may, that's cool for you. 40 in kansas city. minneapolis you're in the 40's as well.
farther west across parts of the southern california, we've been talking about wildfires. unfortunately we still expect an elevated fire danger today with red flag warnings in effect and temperatures in the 90's in l.a. and triple digits in phoenix. let's head over to brian. >> we have the founder of the spartan race and the author of "spartan up." you see it in the background. what is it? joe, where did this all start? >> four years ago in vermont we said we wanted to find high functioning people, people willing to get off the couch and get it done. we started, we thought 50 people would show up, it is a one million people movement globally. >> you believe human beings are meant to get off the couch and doing this at a regular basis, hunting for food, finding shelter,
digging holes. >> you should only want water, food and shelter. right now we have an abundance of stuff in america and it is making us soft. >> in the book you talk about your charity aspect. >> challenge athlete foundation, if anybody needs a wheelchair, we get behind them. >> come over here a second. we have this wall. the object is to push up right . >> you're going to use some triceps. we're going to flip a tire here. you want to lift the right way. we've got a rope climb here. you're going to use upper body strength, hit the bell at the top. watch some of these guys and girls kicking it with their feet. >> here's the thing. we haven't climbed ropes since maybe fourth grade. i wasn't too good at it then. >> you're going to get better at it. you're going to need a bigger suit. >> over here, the -- >> we call this the
hercules hoist. you're going to want to grab this and then squat down. pink is for girls. >> steve and elisabeth, there are about six different things to do here. you saw how fit these guys are. do you have any preconceived thoughts about how well you're going to do? steve and elisabeth? >> just looking at that rope gave me a cold sweat flashing back to wakefield junior high school, wakefield, kansas, where we had that rope. i never made it to the top. >> neither did i. my gym teacher said you can do it. >> but we're going to do it! and we're glad he set it up. brian, joe, thank you very much. >> start stretching. in the meantime this video outraged so many of you today. a teacher gets to keep her job after picking up this child by his face. that boy and his parents are going to join us coming

welcome back. a major medical breakthrough in the fight against cancer. doctors found a way to use viruses to attack and kill cancer cells. >> they injected one woman with the measles virus, another woman with the polio virus and know both of them are cancer-free. does this mean potentially that a single shot cancer cure is around the corner? joining us on the couch is dr. manny alvarez with the medical a team. who thought up this? >> this is research that's been happening in animal modeled for about a decade
or so where, you know, we know viruses when they get inside any living organism, they kill cells. this is how viruses live in our body. in animal models, we know if you expose the animal to let's say the measles virus it goes directly to cancer cells. why cancer cells? cancer cells tend to divide very quickly. that is the perfect incubator a virus needs. in this particular case they did a human trial. >> do you think moving forward that chemotherapy can wipe out your body overall to fight against diseases, sickness outside of the cancer you're dealing with. is this something that will have to be, if it goes forward, injected early enough before someone goes through chemotherapy treatment? >> well, let me try to explain a little bit. i think this is going to be a norm of potential treatment for some people. you're still going to have the surgical arm, still have the chemotherapy, radiation. but in this particular instance, there's a couple of things that need to
happen. first, you can't have immunity towards the virus. if you have immunity towards the measles virus, it may not work. as soon as the measles virus gets inside your body, you're going to kill it. it will never get to target. that is one of the pitfalls. this is only one human, especially for the myeloma and the other was glioma of the head where the virus was injected directly into the tumor. there are some side effects, potential side effects that can mess up your whole immune system because you get exposed to millions of viruses all at once. this is not a little shot. this is a big-time shot. >> you're right. i was going to ask you about that. it's not just the regular injection. it was, with the measles it was ten million times the regular dose. >> sounds risky. >> it's risky. i read the article that was published -- >> the woman didn't know it was a ten million dose shot
until after it happened. >> within minutes she was vomiting, she felt ill, had a temperature of 105. you see the body's reaction wheb -- when you get exposed to it. thankfully she is now cancer free. >> that is remarkable. >> thank you, dr. manny. >> have a good weekend. >> i'm going to go out there. >> you're going to climb the wall? on doctor's orders, dr. manny from the medical a team. >> good for your health. thank you. coming up, this video outraged so many of us yesterday. a teacher gets to keep her job after picking up that boy -- he's six -- by his face. that boy and his parents join us next. >> are you racist if you like this commercial? well, maybe. we're going to explain the argument one school has for that. >> guess what today is? >> it's hump day.

six-year-old boy by his shirt and then by his face and then worse, the school didn't tell the parents the whole story up front and worse than that, the teacher gets to keep her job. joining me now, that sweet boy, ian, and his parents. thanks for being with us this morning. how shocking and horrifying to see this happening to your son. autumn, you had to be beside yourself. >> oh, my god, yes. i lost my mind. seeing something like this happen to your child is unreal, unbelievable, something that you don't ever want to see happen to your child. >> how is ian right now? hey, buddy. >> can you hear? >> i'll wave to you. okay? i know you don't have a mike on. i like to see your smile. dad, how is he doing? >> doing about as well as a child that goes through something like this could be going through at this time. i mean, right now he's trying to work through things the best he
can. so we're just trying to get him back to his normal life the best way we can. >> so let's go back a little bit, this is not a video that was shown to you when you first heard there was an incident at school. the superintendent down played as far as i read, and then you had to go and find the video on your own. why? >> actually they never said anything to us about a video until later on. basically we got the video with basically a school-type discovery pack is what we got on tuesday and found out about a video. we had absolutely no idea about that. we were told that basically there was an altercation with him and a teacher. she had grabbed him and pushed him up against a wall and was yelling at him. that's all we were told. we obviously were mad about the situation of a teacher putting their hands on him, but to see a whole video is a whole different thing. when you read the statements, it's insane that they allowed this teach tore come back after a ten-day suspension.
>> not only that, the ten-day suspension is what she's facing right now after an assault as it seems right there in the hallway against your son. but now, as i understand it, did ian remain in the classroom for two days with her until you found out about this video? >> he finished the day out with her on wednesday and he was with her on thursday and then they decided on friday they were going to move him for a different class. they put him into a different class and immediately iam came home the next day, said i have a new teacher, i like her. he said, i made new friends today. he was back to being happy about school again for a little while, you know. >> do you believe that ten days is what this teacher should get, ten-day suspension? and is ian back in school? will he finish the year out? >> no, since we got the video we pulled him from school because obviously with all the media coverage going on, we wanted to try to shelter him a little bit from staff questioning him and everything else. we pulled him and my oldest son
out of school for -- the school year is over this week anyway. there wasn't anything detrimental to his education. but with the actual ten days, i mean, you're supposed to have a zero tolerance for bullying, but yet this is a teach obviously bully -- teacher obviously bullying a child and you're going to give her a slap on the wrist because she's been there for 14 years? come on, if i did that to her, i'd be in jail. why is it okay for her to do it to a six-year-old child? >> great questions there. ian, you're a good guy. school will be good to you from now on. when you get back there, have fun. we want to thank you all for being with us. we'll stay on this. coming up, more trouble with school much now it's not okay to call your professor miss or mister? turns out that's sexist, too,

how good are we going to be if we work on a couch? we've got the upper body strength of lima beans. >> this is the worst pep talk you've ever given. >> when is the last time you climbed a rope? >> sixth grade, wakefield middle school, junior in wakefield, kansas. >> you, brian? >> i think fourth grade. i don't think i was successful or else i would have remembered it clearly. these guys have been trying to tell me not only is it easy, then they're flipping upside down and kick the bell with their foot. >> all we've got to do is hit the bell. >> okay. is there an escalator? >> it's not going to be pretty. on top of everything else, brian is upset that he knows that elisabeth is going to beat him. >> no, i didn't say that. and if i did, i said it in the break for a reason. >> let her win. she's new to the show. >> are you channeling edie hill? she used to do that all the time. i used to tell her things in the break and she'd say, you you're not going to believe what brian told me.
now you're doing it. >> are you afraid of me? >> that was the story. >> that is my fear, that she will be carrying me. on a serious note, yesterday was dominated by the veterans administration hearings led by generic shinseki. he had to explain himself why the v.a. system is falling apart, why, when you're supposed to get treatment within 14 days, on average, it's taking 245 days. in some cases, so little treatment was given that people died. now we're finding out it's even more widespread than we thought. >> they risked their lives daily to fight for our freedom. yet come home to sit on waiting lists where they then die waiting for health care here. truly unfortunate, making a ton of people feel outraged on both sides of the aisle. but shinseki says he's not going to step down from the job.
six years has not done enough. >> he says he's mad as hell. what's extraordinary is there have been reports in his office since 2010 that reported these gaming strategies where they had these different ways to game the system so it looked like the wait times were pretty short and that way they could boast hey, we're doing things. >> they got incentives and bonuses. >> i was about to say that. you're absolutely right. they would get bonuses to hit their number. so in other words, they were cooking the books in some cases, as we've already heard. pete hegseth, a regular on this program, he's had it up to here with this, says shinseki has got to go. >> he should get fired because he failed at his job, because he's been there for six years. the department is failing veterans. we're seeing folk dying on secret lists. he wants to stand there and call it a good system. and then he stands there and says these are just isolated incidents when facts presented before him have shown this is a
widespread problem, infected v.a. system that he has been aware of and only wants the media -- once the media shines the light of scrutiny do they start putting people on administrative leave and even then he's doing because the i.g. recommends it. this is not a guy leading a department right now. >> not general like. by the way, we know his track record is unbelievable. what he's already done for the country in uniform. however, just because you're a great general doesn't mean you're great ceo. clearly there is a problem with the system. let's get your responses. pam says people that don't do their job get fired where i work and a manager would get fired if the people they manage were not doing their job or caused harm to others. she's intimating he should go. >> steve, not doocy, said this on facebook. he is just a figurehead. it was not him that made the death list. go after the person that led them involved. >> we know the 40 people involved supposedly in arizona, at the phoenix facility. there is another report that 23
vets died waiting for cancer screenings. okay. the death toll is up to 60. so will the top law enforcement man in our country investigate? eric holder says at this point no. here is charles krauthammer weighing in last night on "special report". >> he's the chief law enforcement officer of the united states and he's waiting to hear what the media will tell him about what's been happening inside the government in the one system in the u.s. that is the most entirely government run? i think this is just stupid politics. i can understand stonewalling on benghazi and the irs and all the other stuff. but this is the v.a. this is a big mistake on his part. >> yesterday jake tapper on cnn had dennis mcdonough, the chief of staff from the white house, on and he said essentially, how many dead vets do we need before heads start to roll? and mcdonough just gave him some excuses. >> how many more days until the commander in chief steps in?
>> dennis mcdonough tells him how mad he is. >> everybody is mad but nobody is doing anything. >> heather nauert. >> she's not mad. >> she's working hard here like the rest of us and will bring us some head lines. >> we've got big news coming out of california. it is wildfire season. that gets us to our fox news alert. overnight, two teen-agers arrested on the suspicion of trying to start a fire at a park in southern california. this is multiple wildfires rage across that state and tens of thousands of people in the san diego area are now on the move. they are trying to escape the flames that have so far ravaged more than 10,000 acres and killed at least one person. we'll watch this story throughout the morning. casey kasem not in danger. he was just on vacation? the 82-year-old was in good shape apparently when they found him at a friend's house in seattle with his wife. his daughter still has really serious concerns about her dad's well-being. he suffers from dementia and can no longer speak. she's been battling her stepmom
in court for the right to see her father. also new overnight, a russian space launch not going exactly as planned. just nine minutes after this rocket launched, it veered off path and caused an emergency shut down. the rocket was carrying communication satellite and it broke apart and then burned up in the atmosphere. and talk about a rude awakening, take a lows look at this video. that's a bear as he pokes his head in the front door while this homeowner sleeps on the couch. this happened in california. the guy jumped to his feet, shoed away the bear by making loud noises. that frightening encounter happened two years ago, but it was just uploaded, the video, to youtube. can you imagine that? something wakes you up? not your teen-ager, but a bear. >> that's very scary. >> thank you, boo boo. >> thanks, heather. the pc police are working overtime today. two stories to tell you about.
we'll start with this one. do you like this commercial? >> guess what day it is. huh? anybody? julie, guess what day it is. come on, i know you can hear me. mike, mike, mike, mike. what day is it, mike? leslie, guess what today is. >> it's hump day. >> woo woo! >> a lot -- that is hilarious. a lot of us refer to wednesday as hump day. turns out we may be racist. at the university of saint thomas in minnesota, which is a catholic school, they were going to celebrate the end of school, which was on a wednesday, with hump day. and so they were going to bring in a camel, like a petting zoo. but a number of the university students felt that that would be racist and make people, students from middle eastern countries feel bad. so the school caved. there would be no hump day celebration because hump referring to hump in the camel is racist. >> right. also owe phonedded were --
offended were sunday, monday, tuesday, thursday, friday, saturday. >> so do you think that's about time we cracked down on hump day? do you feel this is way overdue or not? >> what if you smoke camel cigarettes? >> doesn't that make the middle easterns feel bad? >> i don't know. >> let us know what you think about that. >> what if you smoked them on hump day? >> wait, there is more. >> yeah. so professors are demanding an end to titles like sir and miss because they're sexist. so i couldn't say sir, referring to them in class, this is a big deal here. do you think that's sexist as well? you can see miss but just professor? >> you're talking about professor jennifer coates in london. she says that one of her quotes is, the men on the staff are all in their 20s and they were called sir. she said, sire is what you call the king and sir is a knight. there weren't women knights, but miss is ridiculous.
it doesn't match sir at all. so she wants people to stop referring to people as sir and miss and instead use your title. if off professor title, use that. but if you don't have a professor title, i don't know what you would refer to you as, mrs. hasselbeck. >> just miss. >> right. why don't we just stop talking to each other and make it easy? >> the problem is, we're doing a talk show! >> that's right. i keep forgetting. >> hump day. >> there is no humping op hump day. straight ahead, coming up, who are you calling coward? the democrats tweeting out this picture of a congressional candidate who is also an iraq war veteran. that candidate will respond for the first time next. and it's a video everyone will be talking about today. the ambulance driver who drives and dances. ♪

you're not going to believe this, but democrats revert to go nasty name calling in a new york house race that could potentially pit republican against six-term democratic congressman tim bishop. this comment was posted on its web site about him. did i mention he served in iraq? zeldon refuses to take a stand against his party wreckless budget and and the insults don'd
there. they posted this picture of him as the cowardly lion from the wizard of oz. he's here to weigh in to tell us the response. your reaction to being called a coward? >> you have some liberal democrat hack who is hiding behind his twitter account, stuffs his face with cheese doodles, shameful attacks. the fact is nancy pelosi, steve israel, tim bishop, they've never served a day and i think when i was sitting at the door on that blackhawk and you do what's so unnatural, jumping out with your parachute, fast forward to today and you have these democratic hacks out of washington who want to change the subject and fling insults and say i'm a coward. it doesn't fit. >> your reaction is put somees y serving. do they even understand that that's your background? they did something very similar to congressman cotton down
south, too. >> yeah. i think that they realize that our strongest suit is our character, our integrity, our honor, our personal courage. so they want to attack it because they're so desperate to hold on to power. they're prestige, their perks, they don't want to lose it. they'll do anything to hold a congressional seat. so they'll try to tear down someone who -- for me i spent half my life serving in the military. i love it. i'm proud of it. i don't want to be called a coward. >> you put yourself through law school by joining the rotc. you went to al beeny. you were a jag officer, but also going out on missions because you were in this thing for the last 13 years called war. >> i was with the a second airborne division. i still serve as a major in the army reserve, 2006. deployed to iraq, based tekrit, with an infantry battalion. i was proud to serve with my hero, people willing to lay down everything in protection of our constitution, our freedoms and our liberties. honored to serve and i certainly
don't want to be mischaracterized of who i am and what i'm about. >> tim bishop's area, which he held for six terms now, so he's had that, it's pretty much suffolk county on long island. but your main theme is, hey, if you're a family of four and you're making $80,000, you are not making it in this area. >> between the taxes, the property taxes, the income taxes, energy costs, health care costs, it all adds up. it's very difficult to get by. and for all the issues that are facing us as a community and a nation, we need courage of people in office who are willing to put forth plans to say balance our nation's budget. so the democrats, they refuse to put out a plan. instead they just want to campaign against it and they want to scare seniors. they want to throw low income americans on the street. it's scary what they're saying. >> real quick, do you back paul ryan's plan? >> i think that it's important that we put ourselves on the
path towards fiscal responsibility. i think that there is good things and things that can be improved in it. i look forward to being part of that discussion with him next year to have hopefully a stronger plan to move forward. >> thanks for your service. it's too bad the debate can't be about issues and they got to get into character. but actually it's one of your strong suits. so bring it on i guess could be the message. thanks so much. coming up, new mothers usually get a few months off after having a baby. how about a few years? we're going to tell you who is getting that perk. and some bad news for the brady bunch. ♪ that's the way we all became the brady bunch ♪ >> yep. you're not as smart as this family. meet the brainy bunch. seven kids who went to college by age 12 and three more on the way. they're here to tell us how they did it without alice. ♪ ♪ how did we do it last time? i don't know... i forget.

way. >> i know. >> you looked great on "the view" with all of your colleagues. so proud of you there. >> you've got a great story of barbara walters. if you missed me the last half hour, it was me and maria molina in the spartan race. >> she killed you. >> she did. this next part after the tire -- brian, i know you're worried about this, too, and i'm trying to help maria and also trying ogive a guy a that to do it for me, but they wouldn't do it. i did that only through shear determination. i'm 57 years old. >> nice. >> that's the first time i ever did that. >> it must have been the adrenaline. you went up and nailed the bell. >> look at that. >> i was impressed. this is not an easy task. i think it kind of bonds you with the people you run it with. >> it does.
>> it's brought a loft badness out of maria. she won't speak to you. >> she won fair and square and brian and elisabeth are going to square off against each other in a couple of minutes. >> are you going to help me? >> i was going to put maria on the handlebars when i rode in, but i didn't think my wife would appreciate it. >> as long as she was wearing a helmet. >> good point. >> we got lots to talk to geraldo about, including whether or not general shinseki should go. we're going to turn to heather nauert who has the news for this friday. >> good morning. we're starting out talking about wildfires that are taking place out west. they had a really dry winter season contributing to this. fox news alert now, and the question is being asked, were these wildfires in southern california set on purpose? two people are now under arrest at this hour. they're accused of trying to start at least two fires in san diego. right now officials are still trying to figure out whether they had any involvement in the fires that have so far burned more than 10,000 acres and left one person dead.
sad news to report this morning. a top army ranger who personally made sure that american pow jessica lynch made it to her rescue chopper in iraq has died after he was shot by a sniper in afghanistan. command sergeant major martin barreras was shot may 6, but he managed to make it back to the united states. doctors say they were sure he would make a full recovery and he was set to head to walter reed for surgery. but he decided he wanted to stay closer to his wife and his children and have his operation performed in texas. but he didn't make it. he had served 22 years in the army 75th ranger regiment, going to iraq and afghanistan many, many times. he's also served five years in the marine corps. he received a bronze star for courage. he now leaves behind his wife, two daughters, and a son. he was 49 years old. our prayers go out to his family this morning. the pc police working overtime today. two stories to tell you about. we'll start here, you like this commercial? you see it all over tv.
>> guess what day it is. huh? anybody? julie, guess what day it is. oh, come on. >> okay. if you like that commercial, you may be racist? the university of saint thomas in minnesota now canceling an event to celebrate the end of the year after some people complained about bringing a humped day camel on campus. they say it could be considered to be racist to middle eastern cultures. it was a wednesday. then this story, a feminist professor demands an end to titles like sir and miss, claiming they're sexist. the woman says she felt demeaned by youngsters calling her miss and she wants the titles banned from schools all together. that's what we teach our kids. call their teacher miss. >> not anymore. you're being insensitive. not in the new world we're in. >> yes, ma'am. >> so silly. >> we got a lot of e-mail from you.
bob from new jersey writing about hump day. the truth is, people who make these claims just get a rush out of making an entire university drop a planned program. they need to feel that power. >> and regarding the professor against sir and miss, richard from georgia says, using sir and ma'am does not make you politically correct or incorrect. it shows you have some respect for other human beings. to your point, heather. >> now let's switch gears. the big story yesterday was the v.a. hospital. very few people have been around more men in uniform than geraldo rivera. you know that general shinseki served admirably in uniform. having said that, do you think he should go from what you've heard so far? >> let me start, and i don't do this characteristically, but i want to start with the white house because i think that this is potentially the most devastating scandal to affect the obama administration and i'll tell you why. >> really? >> because it speaks to competence. if indeed they can prove or -- and i believe they should bring the f.b.i. now to probe this,
possibility of criminal acts, if they can prove the double books and that the books were cooked, if they can prove that the administration of the veterans administration, including the hero general shinseki -- and i told you last week how i hold him in the highest regard and hearing about this master sergeant who passed from the sniper's bullet, these people that serve and are wounded in action and continue to serve, they are deserving of our admiration, our love, our compassion. but if they can prove a systematic failure within the veterans administration, the largest integrated health care system in the country, 6.5 million patients of the system, if they can prove that general shinseki knew or should have known, then i think it really bodes badly for the president in the midterm election year because it will be hammered. you hear now general shinseki being hammered by senators left and right. democrat and republican. i think that there must be an independent criminal probe at
this point. >> does it bother you he hasn't spoken out yet? >> president obama? you know, i think he has -- commander in chief has to get his arms around it and i would, if i were advising him, i would tell him right now to make a very forceful statement, other than i have faith in general shinseki. of course you do. but find out what really happened. >> it sounds like general shinseki has known since 2010. that's with -- they knew about the gaming strategies at the v.a. for the last four years. and he's been at the top of it. we know of the 40 people who died in arizona waiting on the fake list that they shredded. apparently there are at least 25 other people who were waiting for a simple cancer screening and they died. it looks to some like this is criminal and somebody should go to prison. >> two quick points. number one, the only national customer satisfaction survey that we have compares the v.a. system favorably to private
hospitals. in other words, patients in the v.a. like the v.a. system more than private patients like the private hospital system. >> does it look at waiting lists? >> having said that. if indeed we have evidence that this was cooking the books or fraudulently represented the waiting time, then that, i believe, is a crime and i do believe that with all due respect to the inspector general, that general shinseki has now ordered to probe these potential irregularities, i think you need the f.b.i. at this point. if you can have the f.b.i. investigating whether a new york congressman used undocumented workers in the kitchen, you can have the f.b.i. investigating this. >> they're saying eric holder's investigation might take too long and we can't afford to lose more lives in our veterans in the meantime? >> i think you need criminal investigators. i really think you need people to forensically go and study whether or not evidence was destroyed as now is being alleged, if indeed there are two books, if there was knowledge of the fact that they were cook the books, and keeping separate waiting time lists, one to
present in the public and the other as private, whispering this guy is going to -- three months, six months. the v.a. complaint has always been it's not the quality of care. it's the time you wait until you get the care. >> elisabeth had a big day yesterday. >> she was magnificent. i was so proud of her there. like watching our own sister. >> went back to "the view." >> yesterday was special. barbara has done so much for so many in the industry. we just gathered together and i call us ghosting around her, but giving her thanks for inspiring us and giving us advice and we shared all our favorite memories together. it was really special. >> you wound up crossing trails with hillary clinton and you invited her on "fox & friends." >> i did. i first asked if she took selfies. she said yes. i said, you should come to "fox & friends" and we'll talk. >> we specialize in selfies around here. >> look who is talking. >> she gave us a smiling okay. >> a couple of things that were interesting to me. i'll speak about barbara in a second.
but to see how few of the ladies that have been through "the view" share your political philosophy. it's quite extraordinary when you see everyone gathered. there is you and then it's all of the other women. >> welcome to new york. >> quite a disproportionate in terms of political philosophy. >> i think star jones travels along that. >> i've known barbara for over 40 years. i had a crush on her, two quick stories. i was hitting on her, we were both covering the p canal. i said come on, baby. look at me. we were both covering it. it was romantic. she goes like this, i'm busy tonight. she ended up with the panamanian dictator, took him to dinner. i'm trying to get the interview. this little kid sitting outside. there is barbara. >> she got the interview and the dictator. >> she didn't get him in that sense. >> scoop wise. >> yeah. the other one on her 75th birthday, the ladies of "the
view" -- >> were you still hitting on her? >> still hitting on her. in recognition of that, they had me jump out of her birthday cake. >> i remember that. i remember that. >> that was her favorite cake. >> i wasn't topless. i remembered it wrong. i felt topless. i did not have sex with that woman. >> overall, it's another show today, isn't there? >> yeah. today is her time, final day. what a pioneer she's been. role model for so many. aside from the fact the first woman anchor, she's really about such a feisty and wonderful reporter. she practically made peace in the middle east by getting baggen and sadat to sit down with each other. she was barting and arbitrating that momentous occasion. castro, the first time he came out of his shell and talked to people on our side of the --
>> did he come out of a shell or out of a cake like you? >> maybe he really was topless. >> thank you very much for remembering. >> has a great amount of respect and care for everyone on this couch, too. >> that's great. >> today is her last day. geraldo, we'll see you back here next week. >> thank you. coming up straight ahead, we give them billions of dollars each year. russia is telling the under the circumstances us, no more rides to the moon. senator bill nelson joins us next to weigh in. you watched steve and maria go through the spartan race together. but guess what, brian is promising he's going to hold nothing back when he faces me. >> who wrote that? i did not say that. i was misquoted on my own show. the prompter turned against me. i did not trash talk. >> go, elisabeth. ♪

can they say america, you can't use the space station and we're not taking you up there anymore? >> the fellow who is saying all this stuff, he was sanctioned because of mr. putin's aggressiveness. they froze his bank account and he doesn't like it. and so he's lashing out. the fact is, we're still going to ride on the russian rockets until we get our own humanly safe rockets ready in about two or three years. and the reason that we will is the russians can't operate the space station without us. >> don't we own it? since when do they own the international space station? they currently have the way of transporting us there. they don't own it. >> that's correct. most of the international space station, which is 15 countries, by the way, most of it is the u.s. for example, the russians get all of their electricity from
u.s. systems. the russians have components on it. the russians were very good in building it with us. this cooperation goes back to the cold war with the soviet union when apollo soyuz and soviet spacecraft rand viewed and docked and they lived together in space in the middle of the cold war. >> rhetoric aside, how is it that we're depending on the russians? we're far ahead of them in our technology and our space exploration. how did we end up without rockets and how close until we get our own? >> here is what happened. at the end of the soviet union, the disintegration, we went in there to keep their rocket scientists from going to iran and north korea and worked out a deal that this incredible engine that they have that we would buy it. it is the main first stage
engine on some of our most important rockets, the atlas 5, that puts up military and commercial space load. so at the end of the day, we're going to have to build a new engine to replace that because they're threatening -- they're not going to sell that engine to us for military. for commercial, they haven't prohibited that. >> listen, we need a major speech about this, get america rallied around this and give new credence to the space program. we have allowed it to wither on the vine and i don't think it's right and i know you agree. especially in florida. senator bill nelson, thanks so much. >> have a great day. >> you, too. coming up straight ahead, a frightening new warning on something millions of americans are using to get a good night's sleep. pay attention to that. then you've seen the video. a dog attacking a little boy. then a cat steps in to save the day. i'm not talking about a cartoon if you're listening on radio. this happened. you'll meet that boy, you'll meet the hero live when we come back and that lovely family.

24 minutes after the top of the hour. we got some headlines for you making headlines overseas. look at that. that dramatic video is from syria. it shows the exact moment syrian rebels blew up an army base with 60-tons of explosives by bombing through an underground tunnel that they dug. in india, change coming to the world's largest democracy. the opposition party heading for a landslide election. voters kicking out the gandhi family. they have been in control for all but ten years since the
country won independence back in 1947. elisabeth hasselbeck, over to you. >> thanks, steve. well, it is safe to say that our next guest is the most popular cat in america. she's the fearless feline who saved a little boy from a vicious dog attack. and it was all caught on camera. four-year-old jeremy was playing outside at his home when a neighbor's dog attacked him and that's what you see here. cat tara sprang into action and chased that dog off, saving him. he joins us this morning with his parents, and tara the hero cat is here. good morning to you all. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> okay. i see one tired little fellow there. >> he certainly is. >> a big week for him. and his protector, tara is right by his side. this is interesting because most people find cats more independent. they sort of get the rep for that. but it seems as though tara has
a serious bond with you guys. >> yeah. she definitely is independent for the most part. but she does have her loving moments when she wants to come in and be loved. that's what kind of made us post the video was the fact we've never seen anything like this before in a cat standing up for someone getting attacked. it was impressive. >> impressive, it was life saving right there. if you could walk us through, erica, you actually were watering plants, i hear, and then you see this dog and hear this dog coming up on jeremy, who is only four years old and sound asleep now, but tell us what happened. what did you see? >> we were just getting off the bus. i was watering some plants before we went inside and he was just kind of enjoying himself on the warm afternoon. the next thing we know, he was just on the ground being pulled
by the dog and before i could even get to him, tara had that dog. >> she jumped in. she literally saved him. you attempted, too. i'm seeing something on jeremy's leg right here. two questions, how severely hurt is he? and are you hurt? and also, is this a dog you're familiar with and has this happened before? the bandage on his leg, is it stitches? >> he has ten stitches. they had to do two stitches on the inside of each wound and then three stitches on the outside. he didn't really enjoy that. he told us the doctor punched him, unfortunately. but he got wrapped up and fixed up. he made sure his little leg was decorated with the cars sticker and he thinks that's pretty neat. that's great. i actually got bit as well.
nothing compared to my son. nice and large bruise, unfortunately. >> i'm sure that's a bruise you're happy to take in an attempt to help your sweet little guy there. but roger, let me ask you this, the dog was a neighbor's dog and i know that he was heard barking before. did you ever expect that this would happen and then what do you want to happen moving forward? >> you know, we really didn't expect it to happen. the dog has been aggressive when he's on the other side of the fence, but not to the point where we have been afraid that something would happen when he was out front, he's usually with his owners. when he was with them, he always acted fairly normally, like you would expect a dog to act. so we didn't really have any tell tale signs that this was imminent. but just watching the video, it seems like the owners weren't there and they were a little bit away from the i want -- incident
when it happened. the dog kind of took to his own and went after my son. it's an unfortunate i want. >> if tara was not there, i mean, it's awful to think of the worst. but things would have turned out differently, do you think? >> definitely. if she hadn't been there, i don't know how i would have gotten the dog off. i'm sure i would have gone in and tried to grab him myself and the dog might have bit me worse than it did. i don't know if i could have gotten him off my son without hurting him worse. >> in an attack like that, seconds matter. >> a hero cat right there, tara who loves your family and we're glad jeremy is resting andg the. we're glad everything is okay, important message to send. take care. >> thank you. we are, too. coming up, the president promised our nation's veterans
this. >> cut those backlog, slash those wait times, deliver your benefits sooner. >> well, another broken promise. this time some of our veterans are paying the ultimate price. so what happens now? chris wallace surely is on that next. and who you calling a coward? democrats tweeting out this picture of republican who is a veteran. he responds for the first time right here on "fox & friends." ♪ ♪ ♪ [ male announc ] your eyes. even at a distance of 10 mis... the length 146 football fields... they can see the light of a single candle. your eyes are amazing. look after them with centrum silver. multivitamins with lutein and vitamins a, c, and e

>> of course. >> i come here to visit with you. there is no ulterior motive here. we don't have to mention our show or the exclusive interview with dick and liz cheney or the fact that karl rove will be on to talk about hillary clinton or that we're going to be talk being the v.a. scandal. i don't want to talk about any of that. what do you want to talk about? >> chris wallace, thank you very much. we'll be watching you. >> now listen, chris, you know what it's like to go back with reunions, right? you've been to a high school reunion. >> he knows barbara walters. >> what do you think of elisabeth going back? how do you feel about her emotions? >> do you have a barbara moment you want to share? >> look, i had the great good fortune when i was at abc to work with barbara for a while and elisabeth will agree. she's such a great pro. relentless, tough, fiercely competitive. one of the things 2003 in the business, people who interview people for a living, you're always thinking, even if it's not your interview, how i would have asked them or what i would
have said and you think, boy they didn't do this right. one of the things i always felt watching a barbara walters interview was this she squeezed the sponge dry. when it was over, she had gotten everything out of that person there was to get. a total pro. i think she -- people probably have a few scars from having gone up against her and competed with her, but i don't think anybody leaves thinking that she wasn't just a total professional and a great, great journalist. >> get this, she still is getting the big interviews. through the donald sterling scandal, she still is nailing the big guys. >> so to speak. >> you have to be careful how you say that. >> interviews wise. >> i don't know what you're talking about. >> nailing the big guys. >> you want a do over on nailing the big guy? >> no. chris and i have a certain vocabulary. he knows what i mean. >> he's going to continue. >> she gets the big interview. brian, really. hello, youtube. i'm glad all of you are watching out there. that's another big point about why she was so great, which is the fact that i think people felt that she treated them fairly. she wasn't easy. she always asked the tough questions. but it wasn't about her and gotchas and i think that's up with of the reasons that the big guys were willing to be nailed by her is because of the fact that they knew they'd get a fair hearing. let me ask but fair here, shifting gears, as it relates to the v.a. and the wbr-id "wbr94550" hearing. it seemed to be unusually unpartisan or bipartisan in terms of the grilling of eric shinseki. why do you think that is? well, because there is no partisanship when it comes to the veterans. look, it's very simple. these are people that were willing to risk their lives and defend our country, in many cases, these great men and women were injured in service of our country. to be a little cynical about it,
they're also an enormous voting bloc and so whether you're republican or democrat, there are no two sides to this issue. veterans didn't receive proper treatment, if they were being messed over, god forbid if some of them died because they couldn't even get an appointment. there are no two sides to this issue. there is only one side, which is fix it. >> by the same token, you would think there would be no argument between the two parties if the federal government in the form of the irs is punishing somebody during the political system, where they targeted the tea party, or if four americans are killed in benghazi. you would think that that would also be bipartisan and outrage. yet, it's not. >> no. i mean, i take your point there. obviously there are things that are just right or wrong. i just would say that the veterans and thank god for this, they're kind of above politics. and you're exactly right, most
things aren't above politics, but the vets are. >> chris, i want to check you on that. are people going to be saying how could this happen over the last six years? how could in 2009 the wait be 45 days, and in 2014, the wait is 245 days to get an appointment? >> i was reading something interesting in the paper yesterday. i don't know if it's true. we're going to explore this on fox news sunday. but i have heard that there has been a huge increase in the demand for v.a. medical services in the last couple of years. it's about doubled. i'm not saying that's an excuse for this kind of treatment, but there may be a reason. and apparently the number of v.a. doctors has gone down. so this may not be a simple thing of people were sitting there reading the comic books instead of taking care of veterans. it may be that we need more -- a lot more doctors and need to spend more money, whatever we need to do, do it. whether or not eric shinseki is the right guy to do that, that's
legitimate question. i think it goes way beyond one guy into how the whole system has worked and let's hope that they get it together, although going back to other issues, when you see how much trouble we have with something as easy as a web site, you wonder how good it's going to be or how effective the government is going to be in dealing with hundreds of thousands of people who have really serious health needs. >> absolutely. the great chris wallace, plugging his show. tune in sunday, former vice president dick cheney and his wife, lynn, also karl rove, who had a big week. you've got a lot to chew on. that's why that man nails the big interviews. >> making history there, chris. >> thank you. >> i think we almost got out of this interview with our dignity intact, but no thanks to brian. >> thank you. >> friday, we have two days to write our apologies. hey, heather. >> i've got a story about politics. he is an iraq war veteran and running for congress.
what's so cowardly about republican lee zeldin? , the campaign arm of the house democrats, a comparison so the cowardly lion from the wizard of oz. they say he needs to decide where he stands on congressman paul ryan's budget. zeldin hadn't spoken about this until this morning on "fox & friends." listen to this. >> you have some liberal democrat hack who is hiding behind his twitter account, stuffing his face with cheese doodles, shameful attacks. i think that they realize that our strongest suit is our character, our integrity, our honor, our personal courage. >> by the way, his democratic opponent has not served in the military. if you're one of millions of americans who need help getting toly. the f.d.a. is lowering the recommended dose of the sleeping drug, lunesta. the reason is that the pill that you take at night could make for dangerous driving to work the next day. new data showing that you may
not be alert enough to drive, even if you feel totally awake. the f.d.a. is now cutting the suggested dose in half. a touching display of true sportsmanship by twin sisters at a track meet in illinois. halfway through the race, one sister felt something pop in her leg and fell to the ground. khloe's sister, claire, who was behind her in the race, picked her sister up and carried her to the finish line. they were here earlier on "fox & friends." >> she sat me down right before the finish line and kept pushing me to go first. i didn't want to go first. i wanted her to finish with me. >> it just came like natural to me, like i have to help her. i have to have her finish. >> khloe said if claire fell, that she would carry her, too. and those are your headlines. that's what you guys will be doing outside today, right? carrying one another. >> who is carrying whom is the question. >> yeah. can elisabeth carry me over the wall? we'll see. good job, heather. we're going to go change. before, let me tell you what's coming up next. where can you get a house like this for under $300,000?
we will tell you and where you can find the most affordable homes in the country. maria and i made it through the spartan race. but what about brian and elisabeth? they have been smack talking each other for the last three hours. we'll finally find out who wins. maria beat me fair and square. ♪ ♪
