Im in for elisabeth hasselbeck. A fox news alert. Another american infected with ebola arrives in the United States, this as doctors test a man in new york city for the deadly virus. Great. The white house has a whole new excuse for why they waited until now to do anything about the Immigration Crisis. The house, the senate and the white house, 20092010. Why didnt you focus on solving the Immigration Crisis then. There were a lot of other crises the president was focused on at that point. Thats right. Remember this crisis . Apparently the obamacare
crisis was more important. But theyre going to change that. Call it high and dry. Its one of the worst droughts on record but it is not stopping marijuana growers from drenching their crops. The unintended consequences of going to pot. Because mornings are better with friends. Hi. This is henry winkler. Youre watching fox friends. Thank you fonzi. Good morning to you, anna. Look whos here today. Good morning. Nice to see you. Thank you. Nice to see all of you. We start this hour with a fox news alert. Fears of an Ebola Outbreak inside the United States intensify as a new york city man is tested for possible exposure to ebola. This is as the second american infected with the deadly virus is set to land later today in atlanta, georgia. Heather childers joins us with the very latest. Roibt good reporter doctors say the man came to an emergency room and was placed in strict isolation within seven minutes. Doctors saying it is unlikely he has ebola but they are taking no chance. He was placed in strict isolation after he returned from a west african country within the last month and showed symptoms like a fever. Test results due back within 24 hours. A second person with ebola is on her way back to atlanta. Nurse Nancy Writebol will land in georgia and be transferred to Emory University hospital. Writebol along with dr. Kent brantly are receiving experimental drugs never before used on humans. Her son says he hopes his mothers suffering will be to help others. My mom might not be only
to help those who she was trying to help there in country, but by her suffering in this and by her going through it, she may be able to help countless more through them being able to understand whats going on in her body and develop a cure. Doctors at emory saying brantly who has been there for two days is improving. That is good news possibly. Three other americans have been tested but all the results have come back negative. Back to you. Its the big story on the cover of the tabloids here in new york city. Ebola scare in the city and an ebola man tested for disease in new york. The headline is disease unlikely. That the headline. Here is who its terrifying for. I was reading about a lady living across the street from mount sinai where this man is being tested. She said shes aprayed for
the people in the shes afraid for the people in the waiting room but you know who is screwed . The people in the waiting room. State, federal and local officials are probably tracking down those folks at this moment to make sure there was no exposure to whatever agent this person has. When you hear about a deadly virus with a death rate up to 90 it has the chance to cause panic. Weve heard every expert say the chance is zero it will be taken to the United States. Five minutes after the top of the hour. To keep us posted with the news on the ceasefire in israel, here is heather. Good morning. Hope youre off to a great morning. 72 hours of peace, that is the agreement between israel and hamas, the ceasefire taking effect
this morning and over the next few days, delegations from israel and hamas will try to work out a long term truce and all of this happening the moment israels Ground Troops pulled out of gaza. Their mission of destroying 32 hamas terror tunnels they say is now complete. This is one of israels more vocal critics. A british senior minister, a muslim cabinet member, resigns this morning. She tweeted this, quote, with deep regret i have written to the Prime Minister an tendered my resignation. I can no longer support government policy on gaza. That is the latest there. The federal government pulling the plug on emergency shelters in military bases for illegal aliens. Nearly 7,700 immigrant chenoweth have been housed on immigrant children have been housed on bases in texas and california. Officials saying the number of immigrants arriving in the United States has slowed down so they say
other facilities can be used to shelter them. One in oklahoma closed friday. A marine housed in a mexican prison is back behind bars this morning after a hearing held yesterday in tijuana. Sergeant andrew tahmooressis lawyer is saying it could be months before the marine is free. In court tahmooressi faced the Border Guards who arrested him in march after he made that wrong turn and crossed the border with three guns that were purchased legally in the United States. His lawyer argued this, that the marines civil rights were violated because no one translated the reason for his arrest into english. Listen to this. We still have some evidence to enter into the record. Its going to keep dragging on a little bit more. I think the case is going very well so far. It could be three months but it could be a little more. Tahmooressis mother was also in court, the judge
allowing her to spend about 20 minutes with her son after that hearing. Former White House Press secretary james brady has died. Brady served president Ronald Reagan but was badly wounded in an assassination attempt on the president s life in 1981 in washington, d. C. After that shooting, brady took on a personal crusade for gun control. He eventually died from Health Problems that were related to that shooting. Former first Lady Nancy Reagan releasing this statement saying, quote, jim was the personification of courage and perseverance. He and s. A. R. Ry brady action his he and s. A. R. Ry brady never gave up. James brady was 73 years old. Those are your headlines. What a legacy he leaves. No kidding. Heather, thank you. Yesterday we played you sound bites of the president of the United States. He was asked a number of times at different town halls, mr. President , why dont you do something about this immigration problem, and he said because i dont have the Legal Authority to do it. Now were hearing that the
white house feels that they do have the Legal Authority. Theyre waiting for eric holder to give them the thumbs up sign to do it. And they could annestize up to five million of illegals in the country even though the president said in the past no Legal Authority. We showed you on video former House Speaker nancy pelosi becoming completely unhinged on the house floor calling tom marino a liar saying remember when you had control of congress and the white house. Why didnt you do anything back then . She called him a liar, said he is an insignificant person. Our story developed more and ed henry pressed the White House Press secretary josh earnest on the same they think. He said the president was too busy. The first two years of the administration the president vowed in 2008 by the end of my first year in office well pass a
comprehensive immigration law. They failed to act for two years. Why didnt he do anything then . A couple of things about that. The first is at the time, you recall in 2009 there are many things on the president s plate. As there are now. Israel, gaza, syria, the economy. He has a lot going on now. I think the crisis we faced in 2009 as it related to our Financial System and our economy, hemorrhaging jobs that that was understandably the focal point of congressional activity but also a lot of activity here at the white house. You had the house, senate and white house, 20092010. Why didnt you focus on solving immigration problems then . There were a lot of other crises the president was focused on at that point. Because the world is not on fire today. That is their excuse. We were busy. Was one of the those crises the obamacare crisis, the political crisis, the necessity to pass obamacare. Lets take a look back at
this nugget back then. Tens of millions of americans will be a whole lot healthier from this moment on. Ladies and gentlemen, the president of the United States of america, barack obama. [applause] they were busy with that big effing deal. They were busy with it because they made it their priority. They made it number one. Now theyre making immigration number one even though weve got so many things going on in this country as ed detailed. One of the biggest problems, you talk to people on the street and they say there is this problem with invasion on our southern border. Its curious because we had on the channel nick adams, a political commentator in australia. He was talking about how a number of years back australia essentially found themselves in the same situation we are right now. And how did australia turn the boat around . Heres nick adams. We had a problem with our border between 2001 and 2007 and then a government full of secular progressive pinheads got elected and dismantled this effective Border Protection policy that was in place with the usual claims it was inhumane, it was wrong, it was immoral. The conservative government basically came in and said we are going to determine who comes into this country and the circumstances under which they come and they got the Australian Military to sort it out. A sweep of measures which included turning back the boats, towing back the boats. But most of all our Prime Minister said if you come to australia the wrong way, if you come to australia illegally, you will never get to stay. You will never get to live in australia. You will never get to be once you the problem was the government was full of secular progressive
pinheads and then eventually the boss of the country said if you come here, were going to send you home. How did they solve the problem . They cut off the water spigot, they turned the boats around like we heard so many cries like turn the buses around, turn the planes around and send these Illegal Immigrants back to where they came from. They have been very effective in terms of what they have done in australia. It has created a tremendous amount of controversy in terms of the practices they engage in in terms of holding these people who are seeking asylum. They have the same controversy going on here but they have been more effective in stopping the tide of illegal immigration in australia. Is our Border Patrol effective at stopping the invasion on our southern border . Weve got video to show you. Its a truck driver going through an Border Patrol check point. Hes wearing eye cam glasses and taping the Border Patrol agent and he asks him a question and the answer, its quite something. We want to show it to you right now. Watch. Border patrol. How many people on board . U. S. Citizens. Does it really matter . Not anymore unfortunately. Thank you. You too. Are you a citizen . Yeah. But does it really matter . Not anymore. Unfortunately. Thank you. Wouldnt it be something to have that level of honesty from high officials in government . Good point. You saw just from the smirk on the Border Patrols face, you realized how disheartened these guys have to be while theyre changing diapers and warming baby formula and handing out lollipops and being glorified baby sitters and not being able to do their jobs in some
instances. Theyre saying we ought to be taken seriously but right now were not. Broarm agents doing their Border Patrol agents doing their jobs and just as frustrated as the rest of us. Also this morning voters head to the polls in four states today. All eyes are on the kansas primary and peter doocy is live in washington. Many races seem to be pitting tea party backed candidates against established incumbents. Reporter the marquee race is in kansas where republican senator pat roberts on the job for 33 years must now defend his seat from a Tea Party Challenger dr. Milton wolf. This race has been ugly with challenger wolf accused of putting jokes about his patients injuries online while roberts faces question about where he really lives kansas or d. C. Roberts is still up double
digits. In kansas, the republican candidate is fighting to keep his job while winn fights to take his job e. She has been using a platform because her son got injured in a gun deal gone bad. Sentencing reform is center stage in the winn campaign as is legalizing pot. In michigan one of the most Prominent Tea Party lawmakers in congress is on the ballot today as a chamber of commerce backed businessman brian ellis tries to surge ahead into a congressional seat. Ellis doesnt think amash works within the system. We will wait and see if anyone can pull off a surprise victory like dave brat did against eric cantor in virginia in june. Peter doocy live in our
nations capital, thank you very much. Peter johnson, over to you. With california suffering its worst drought on record, water restrictions are rampant but that is not stopping marijuana growers from siphoning water from creeks and streams to irrigate their crops, while leaving the rest of the golden state high and dry. Lieutenant patrick foy is with the California Department of fish and wildlife. Hes seen the damage grown by illegal marijuana growers guzzling up a lot of waters. Good morning, lieutenant. Weve got illegal marijuana growers, Medicinal Marijuana growers diverting creeks in a way thats caused the drought to be made much worse, the worst drought in california for many years. Tell us about it. Now that we have several years of drought it has become exacerbated by the
process of these guys taking these small creeks and damming them with illegal diversion dams and taking the water out of the creeks, in some cases, in fact many cases theyre taking every drop of the water out of the creeks to divert to their crops. That deprives the native wildlife, the local wildlife of their most pressures resource and in fact these pipes are so big that they oftentimes will justify the amount of marijuana based solely upon the amount of water thats available. They will take every single drop to grow these marijuana plants. The law requires they only take 10 from these creeks. Sometimes theyre taking the entire creek basically. What youre seeing in california is an attack also on wildlife as a result of what theyre doing in terms of fertilizers, in terms of using rat poisons. Tell us how it is affecting wildlife and what kind of wildlife is getting killed as a result of their criminal efforts. Theres usually, most of
these growers have zero rights to these waterways. They have no legal ability to take the water out of the creek. They take it any way. In addition to taking the water from the wildlife, they use these massive amounts of fertilizers, pesticides, plant hormones, all these Different Things and ultimately have a problem with the wildlife that comes in and they try to either dabbling damage the crops or get into the growers food sources and many of these deer, raccoon, basically every animal that lives in the forest have either been poached, shot by marijuana growers to prevent them from hassling them or getting into their crops or they have been poisoned by the rodent killers used in huge quantities to protect the irrigation pipelines from the rodents. They will gnaw on the pipelines and put little holes in them so they have to use massive amounts of rodent killers. The final question what can you and the other officials do in california to shut this down, to stop this and return the water
to where it should be going, to californiaans who need it legitimately . Aggressive enforcement is the key tool weve used. We went to the Governors Office and he authorized seven new positions for us to help address this very issue. That is where were going right now in order to try to better address the problem and help out with our major drought situation. Bad problem and interesting solution. Lieutenant, thanks for your service on this. Keep us up to date on this please. Thank you. Good to see you. They may have escaped death but they have not escaped the law.
