think about that as we roll animation because mornings are better with friends. it s fox & friends. live from studio e here in the heart of midtown manhattan on this 23rd day of july. welcome aboard, folks. heather nauert is here with headlines. a lot happening through the night. we ve got news coming out of israel affecting travelers there. moments ago secretary of state john kerry touching down in tel aviv, israel, despite the f.a.a. s new ban on u.s. airlines from flying into that airport. this after a rocket landed in a neighborhood about a mile from that airport. the 24-hour ban expires at noon today but the f.a.a. is reevaluating and will announce later this morning if it will extend that ban or not. certainly other countries have also suspended flights to israel. more on that. moments ago the downed malaysian plane s black boxes have arrived in england. experts now downloading data from the recorders following a request by authorities in the netherlands who are now leading that investigation. also earlier this morning the first plane carrying the remains of some of the 298 victims left the airport in ukraine for the nght lands. it is trd it is considered a national day of mourning in the netherlands. in the meantime the united states said it found no link of direct russian involvement. but says vladimir putin base some responsibility for the attack. they provided the training and support for the rebels who most likely shot down the plane. here at home it could be one of the most watched senate races in the entire nation. in georgia, david perdue defeating jack kingston in the republican run-off. it will be key to the republicans gaining six more seats to win control of the senate in november. more debt, higher taxes, a disaster that s called imoam, this is the agenda that michelle nun and her party support. would he can t allow that to stand. david perdue will join us live on fox & friends. the piano man is set to receive one of music s greatest honors. the library of congress is awarding billy joel the ber gershwin prize for popular song, the second major award for joel in two years. it comes on the heels of the kennedy center honors back in december. congratulations billy joel. those are your headlines. why did you chows to play uptown girl ? she is an uptown girl. hello. it s all about her. it is a tribute to christie brinkley and they aren t married anymore. a big scare for obamacare. yesterday the d.c. court of appeals, the second highest court in the land, said the subsidies are illegal in 36 states. the law as written said that credits, these subsidies can only flow through, quote, an exchange established by the state. a bunch of states didn t establish them, so the federal government came in. and in 2012 the i.r.s. pumped out a rule giving subsidies to everybody, and that s what prompted this lawsuit. simultaneously the white house felt a little lucky because the fourth circuit in virginia said they re legal. now it could be headed to the supreme court. in the meantime the white house said it is going to continue handing out billions of taxpayer dollars in the subsidies until this gets figured out and works its way up the court system. could be years. three judges decided this. it seems to be a major blow when it comes to obamacare and the money that s being handed out, in this case determined here in these three courts. they said it is illegal. a constitutional scholar said this is a bloody mess. it will be a bloody mess. the problem is the president, it was found by the d.c. circuit, to have exceeded his authority, to have violated again the separation of powers. but m this case that violation led to the commitment of hundreds of billions of dollars in the past, future years. and that is a serious problem. i don t see how the a.c.a. can survive without this system, at least in the form it was originally designed to have. does that mean it will collapse? it would collapse unless congress would be willing to make massive changes and massive subsidies to back those up. the panel found the president spent billions in taxpayer dollars he had no authority to spend, subjected millions of employers and individuals to mandates he had no authority to impose. game on at the highest level. here we go again. and all indications are they knew all along how much in jeopardy this ruling would be. it s not so much the law that passed. it s the one that kept changing. if it goes back to the original form, can anyone afford obamacare without the subsidies? that will be one of the keys. the other thing we ve got to think about too is when everyone signed up, the 5.4 million people who signed up for obamacare, did they do it the right way? was anyone verified the information they were giving. the g.a.o. wondered that and set up a sting operation. the government accountability office made up fake applications, 12 on phone or on-line, 6 in person, all completely false. nothing true: income, counterfeit documentation false. 11 out of 12 of them, of these fake applications got through. they actually got government subsidized health insurance. they got through the verification process and their bogus beneficiaries are still covered. that s the extraordinary thing. it begs the question, so this was just a controlled situation where 11 of the 12 failed and the one had a failed, the one that failed, the one they noted simply because that person did not cough up a social security number. how many people have applied for obamacare and gotten subsidies even though they completely perhaps misrepresented their income or lied about their situation? right now we don t know because right now nobody is looking into it. the president doesn t have time because he s flying back and forth raising cash for democrats. it s exhausting. exactly. but there is a critique that he is not paying enough attention to what s going on in the world, he s not doing the right thing. he s forcing his attention on fund-raising, causing the taxpayers $3 million for a recent trip alone. josh earnest at the white house, press secretary, said he can focus on a couple of things at the same time. the president, like most professionals, has the capability to deal with more than one priority at a time, particularly somebody who has the trappings of the presidency alongside him. he has his own airplane, dedicated phone lines, senior advisors who will be accompanying him every step of the way. then he brought up out of the five work days he s spending three of them on funding. he s got the phone and the pen. he was in seattle last night and they were talking about cynicism, and the president said i don t really watch much of the news because i generally already know what they re talking about. wait a minute, i don t really watch much of the news because i know what they re already talking about? how many times have we heard the president say i learned about this situation by watching the news. a lot of people are going which way is it, mr. president? you can t have it both ways. if he didn t watch the news, he probably doesn t know that tony dungee, although he s not coaching anymore, he s a spofts sportscaster got himself into controversy when he answered the question, would you have taken michael sam, the defensive player who came out and say, by the way, i am quote, he said, quote, tony dungee did, i wouldn t have taken him not because i don t think michael sam shouldn t have a chance to play. i don t want to deal with all that. he s saying when you have somebody in a locker room that s different it becomes a major story. if you want to look at an example look at tim tebow. tim tebow was bigger than the sport for awhile. is there x factor going to take away from what s going on on the field. keep in mind, tony dungee didn t say i wouldn t sign him because he s gay. he said he would be a distraction. there are many players like tim tebow who in the mind of many coaches thought this guy is going to take away from the team aspect here. listen to this. if you are in a professional sports locker room and you happen to be gay, there are people in an nfl locker room or any kind of locker room for a professional sports team, there are people who are going to have a problem with it. if somebody is sitting there in a locker room and they re minding their own business but it is just not something they agree with, they shouldn t be excoriated either. you have the right to feel what you feel so long as you re not trying to inflict any kind of harm figuratively or literally upon another human being. it s that simple. so tony dungee, whether it is from a religious perspective or whether it is just taking his quote verbatim, he happens to be right. but he is getting slammed. he s getting abused in the media. it is a fact that this story is a big deal in the media. michael sam, did he make it a big deal? who knows? did tony dungee make it a big deal? it is a big deal because the media latched on to this earlier on. the twitter verse is aflame and they re calling tony dungee every imaginable word and name, but here s the thepg. he has the right to express his opinion. in his have been a distraction? to tony dungee, yes. to other people? maybe not. but they weren t asked. on twitter they re saying he s a hypocrite. michael vick, he completely repackaged himself. tonydunjihad tony dunjihad the chance to say no. there is no right or wrong answer. we respect your opinion unlike the rest of the media. we ll put your opinion up there. hopefully you ll get on facebook and twitter and we ll read them. coming up straight ahead, a plan to fix the border crisis. instead of giving aid to the illegals home countries, cut them off. a veteran gets trapped inside a v.a. clinic. what is your emergency? hi. i want to report that i apparently got left in a v.a. facility, medical facility and the alarm has been going how in the world did that happen? we re going to hear from that vet straight ahead. woooo. i know what you re thinking. you re thinking beneful.

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. nineteen years ago, we thought, wow, how is there no way to tell the good from the bad?

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. 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 off. how does that happen? you re going to hear from that vet straight ahead. then white flags replace the american flag at the brooklyn bridge in the middle of the night, and still nobody knows who did this or why. how in the world does this massive security breach happen in new york city?

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?

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?

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. then orange is the new problem. why this hit show has one prison sherrif putting inmates back in stripes. when do we get out like everybody?

here with insider perspective is the patriarch of the syrian catholic church and father jonathan morris, fox news religion correspondent. good morning to both of you. good morning. thank you for having us. this deadline over the weekend, horrendous. horrific. following this, the pope reached out to you. what did he say? he just wanted to reassure me that he is praying for us, thinking of us. he really bears our life in his heart and he do whatever he can to follow the situation and help christians in iraq, mostly in mosul you just mentioned because it s really tragic plight what we are going through. no kidding. father jonathan, over the weekend on fox & friends, you talked about this story. a lot of people hadn t heard about it, that if you re christian in iraq, you either got to pay a fine, get killed, or convert. and where is the outrage? it s incredible what s going on. they re going to the houses and putting an end, standing for nazarene, saying if you re here, you better get out because you re going to be killed. you have all of these christians, catholics and other christians who are leaving with nothing. they re ripping up the deeds of your house, they re taking any family jewels or anything you have on you, leaving you with nothing, saying you have nothing to do in a place where christians have been for 1700 years. and the international community right now, it s silent. absolutely. that s why it s such a blessing to have the him here saying he was here in iraq, in the beginning of july and saw it firsthand. yes. i was that weekend of 28, 29, 30 of june when i heard about the exodus of our christians from a town 15 miles southeast of mosul being threatened and told that they will be invaded like mosul was. so they just fled. everyone took what they could and they fled to the neighboring area. is your heart full of fear? out of fear because they thought that the army that was on the border between them and mosul would be so they will invade their city and will do those atrocities as they did in syria, neighboring syria. father jonathan, our president talks about a lot of stuff. we haven t heard him talk about this. we haven t. he s been silent. there are people who are suffering tremendously. i m going to put on my facebook and twitter people who want to help the christians fleeing with nothing and we re going to give an opportunity for them to help practically as well. if i may so, we have to pray to wake up our master, the lord jesus, who has been sleeping in the back of the boat as with the apostles who were drowning and they woke him up saying master, don t care about us? that s a nice way to start the day with that message. father, thank you very much. thank you. may god bless you. god bless you.play david purdue from georgia next feet.splashing. better things than the joint pain and swelling of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. if you re trying to ma, now may be time to ask about xeljanz. xeljz (tofacitinib) is a small pill, not an injection or infusion, for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well. xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. seris, sometimes fatal infections and cancers have happened in patients taking xeljanz. don t start xeljanz if you have any infection, unless ok with your doctor. tears in the stomach or intestines, low bod cell counts and higher liver tes and cholesterol levels have happened. your doctor should perform blood tts before you start and while taking xeljanz, and roinely check certain liver tests. tell your doctor if you have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common, and if you have had tb, hepatitis b oc, or are prone to infections. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, and if you are pregnant, or plan to be. taken twice daily, xeljanz can reduce the joint pain and swelling of moderate to severe ra, even without methotrexate. ask if xeljanz is right for you. we know in the cyber world, threats are always evolving. at first, we were protecting networks. then, we were protecting the transfer of data. and today it s evolved to infrastructure. .finance. and military missions. we re constantly innovating to advance the front line in the cyber bate, wherever it takes us. that s the value of performance. northrop grumman. 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. he s had enough. it flips the father and daughter over in the kayak. those are your headlines. argentina. i guess a lot of people would like to swim with whales. right. i m not one of them. let me tell you what s happening in sports in real life. super bowl winning coach tony dungee is getting hammered today because he came out and answered a question. the question was by the tampa bay tribune, would you have drafted michael sam, because he s the first openly gay athlete. would you have drafted him on your team? he says no. it would have been a distraction. he says he wouldn t have picked him. so he has gotten backlash because he said this. there is an attack against him for holding that opinion. we asked you what you thought. e-mails are pouring in. facebook, twitter is on fire. this is one person saying the press should give him credit for speak the truth. each player brings assets and liabilities to the team. if the celebrity of one player, regardless of circumstances distracts from the mission, it s a liability. david tweeted out, i believe the media frenzied reaction confirms that he would have been a distraction. we re going to see how they react in the locker room. keep those opinions coming. he s entitled to his opinion, as are you. coming up, crises across the globe and here at home, so where is america s leadership and are we creating a void for our enemies to grow? captain pete hegseth reporting for duty on that. blowing the whistle on sports in america. is this woosification of america or something that s long overdue? woooo. i know what you re thinking. you re thinking beneful. [announcer]and why wouldn t he be? beneful has wholesome grains,real beef,even accents of spinach,carrots and peas. it has carbohydrates for energy and protein for those serious muscles.

pete hegseth is the ceo of concerned veterans for america maybe in aruba. yes, brian. that tranquility of this global community, it is as if we are not on the field. this president doesn t it seems he doesn t even believe that there is sort of a geopolitical game going on of forces of good and evil, freedom and tyranny in which america has been the lynch pin. he seems disinterested. i want a president who is doing whatever he can to maintain american advantage and defend our interest and our allies. you got israel under siege. we re playing arbiter. as we try to get money into the military, that would send a big message that we re starting to bulk up instead of scale back. captain hegseth, thanks so much. thank you. next up, food stamps paid for by taxpayers going up in smoke. food stamps being used for weed and it s perfectly legal? meet a sheriff who says orange is the new problem. why he s putting inmates back in stripes. when do we get outfits like everybody? maybe tomorrow. 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?

maybe tomorrow. shut your mouth. well, all the inmates at one michigan jail are getting new outfits thanks to that show, orange is the new black. the hit show. the sheriff says pop culture made orange jump suits cool and says black and white stripes are here to explain, sheriff william. good morning to you, sheriff. good morning. okay. so what were you noticing that caused you to get rid of the orange jump suits in lieu of those black and white stripes that your prisoners now wear? well, we regularly see citizens in public wearing orange pants and orange shirts that resembles our jump suits. also noticed health care workers, professionals in the hospitals that wear scrubs in different colors and we found a few of them wearing orange as well. predominantly people in the public wearing it, coming by the 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?

i ll go with steve. i think it s around 20 degrees. i heard that once in a science lecture. steve, you are correct. it s 22 degrees. isn t that incredible? that a city can make nighttime temperatures 22 degrees warmer than elsewhere just because of the pavement and the concrete up here. you got a lot of cats on hot tin roofs on this town. it feels that way for sure. thanks, maria. thank you. that was your science trivia for the day. it was good. parents, are you sick of yelling at your kids from the driver s seat. toyota is unveiling a mega phone-like system in their new mini van. it s a reminder to our next guest on why he chose not to have children and why he[s9>(ñoo many laughs even talking about it. joining us is standup comedian and the host of fox tv s new show, [ laughter ] the hecklers toyota has a solution for the parents. what do you think about it and what would be your tip?

thanks, elisabeth. two new york city police officers are on desk duty after the arrest of eric gardner who died after this altercation with police. he can be heard yelling, quote, i can t breathe, a couple of times while an officer had him in what some are calling a choke hold. the facts of the incident being figured out, although many insist the altercation was racially motivated. bill bratten shot that theory down yesterday. i personally don t think that race was a factor in the incident involving this tragic death. okay. has there been a rush to judgment and what are the very latest developments? 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, and never any by-products or fillers. wow! being a cat just got more enjoyabowl. fancy feast broths. wow served daily. here is a quick headline i want to share. tensions high in the ukraine parliament. understandably so. a fight just erupted following a vote that called up more reserves to defend the country against the increasing russian troops on the nation s border. a brawl breaking out during a tv interview after a guest threw a bottle of water at his rival before trying to attack him with a chair. how do they act in the green room? two months ago on this same show, guests started violently shoving the interview desk on the set. that s a cheap desk. until it collapsed. looks frankly familiar. one day junior said, you stole my format. that s what s happening in the who is normal and who is nuts? it s a question we ask dr. keith ablow every week and he joins us now. hey there, doctor. hey there. how are you? so we ve got some e-mails coming in. first one says, i have a divorced friend who won t go to certain restaurants he frequented with his ex in order to keep his memory tarnished. she has remarried and moved on. is that normal or nuts? sad but normal. here is the thing, complicated grief reaction, yes. but listen, he loved this woman. maybe he still loves her. he s raw. this is more of a love story than it is a story of pathology. does he need some therapy? sure, maybe he does. does he need a new girlfriend? probably. but i m not going to call him out. what if they live in a town where there is only one restaurant? suddenly your choices for takeout is limbed. i hop. that would be a problem, i agree. then there is the next town over and he s likely to meet somebody very kind. number two, whenever i witness someone being injured, either in person or on tv, i often experience a slightly painful sensation in the center of my chest or tingling up my arm. is this normal or nuts? it s better than normal. that s not nuts. normal. but super normal. it s great. what are you describing here? you re describing human empathy. this person feels for other people. instead of calling it pathological, why not call it a gift, see if you can develop it. maybe you re very connected to people. our final query of you is my sister tracks her 14-year-old daughter and her friends anywhere the teen-agers go with an iphone tracker. normal or nuts? i knew we d get one. nuts! that s crazy. what if she s worried about the safety of her kid? here is the delusion involved. you can t tell whether your daughter is safe by her location. secondly, instill trust in her. don t try to track her. that s no answer. or you could say this, hey, where were you this afternoon?

(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. huh, fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. everybody knows that. well, did you know words really can hurt you? what.? jesse don t go! jesse.no! i m sorry daisy, but i m a loner. and a loner gotta be alone. heee yawww! geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. jesse? 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 center that were found in the shape of a cross. will the atheists win this one? where the case stands next. really. so our business can be on at&t s network for $175 dollars a month? yup. all five of you for $175. our clients need a lot of attention. there s unlimited talk and text. we re working deals all day. you get 10 gigabytes of data to share. what about expansion potential? add a line anytime for 15 bucks a month. low dues. great terms. let s close. introducing at&t mobile share value plans. .with our best-ever pricing for business. we ve always been] at the forefrontumman, of advanced electronics. providing technology to get more detail. detect hiddethreats. see the whole picture. process critical information, and put it in the has of our defenders. reaching constantly evolving threatbefore they reach us. that s the value of performance. northrop grumman. we got quick headlines for you. a deadly stand-off in texas ends in a shootout with police. two officers were wounded while serving a warrant on a murder suspect in the rio grande valley of la joya. 29-year-old suspect was killed in the gun fight. new develops in the case of a marine s missing pregnant wife in california just released 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. how in the world does this massive security breach happen? your eyes. even at a distance of 10 miles. the length of 146 football fields. they can see the light of a single candle. your eyes are amazing. look after them with centrum silver. multivitamins to help support your eyes, heart and brain. centrum silver. for the most amazing parts of you. now, with a new easy to swallow coating. you re thinking beneful.

we all know it s the symbol of surrender. they flew on top of the nearly 300-foot high tower for hours yesterday. surveillance video shows four to five people crossing the bridge about 3:00 o clock in the morning and then a short time later, the lights go out and the waving american flag disappears. aluminum pans were actually used to cover the light and then at a closer look, the flags were really american flags that were bleached white. the nypd says they believe those behind this have some training in climbing or construction. they don t believe it s terror related and don t believe it s any kind of political statement. in iraq, isis is issuing an evil ultimatum to christians in iraq. convert, pay a tax, leave or be killed. christians in mosul are now fleeing with just the clothes on their backs. it is one of the oldest christian communities in the entire world. it dates back nearly 2,000 years. now that community faces extinction. earlier today the patriarch of the syrian catholic church and father jonathan morris joined us with an insider perspective. listen to this. it s really tragic plight what we are going through. they re ripping up the deeds of your house, they re taking any family jewels or anything you have on you, leaving you with nothing. saying you have nothing to do in a place where christians have been for 1700 years. recent data showing christians face the highest rate of religious harassment in the middle east and north africa. hundreds of marijuana users are buying weed on your dime. the national review report said welfare recipients in colorado are using their ebt cards as marijuana retailers. the cards have been used more than 250 times in the past six months, total withdrawals of $25,000 in welfare benefits. some are saying it could be buying pot, it could be buying groceries. but those are your headlines. now colorado starting to restrict it. this is the moment retired army staff sergeant and his military dog were reuniteed. they are battle buddies who put their lives on the line for one another. you know what? this morning they are joining other human k-9 teams and heading to capitol hill. peter doocy is with them in our nation s capitol and joins us live. peter? reporter: we ve got four american heros right here. we ve got jason boss, army veteran who you just saw, and marine corps vet sergeant dino miller and their two dogs, both seven years old. here is sela and that is thor. you saw the video with sela. you were four years as her handlers. you came back with back problems four years ago and retired. you didn t know if you would see her again. no, i didn t. i was really surprised and thankful i was given the opportunity to get her back. i ve had a lot of help from family friends. this organization has done a really good job of helping us get our dogs back. reporter: sela is so calm here. what does she help you with? she would do active searches. pretty much just trying to keep the soldiers safe there. reporter: tell me about how it was that you got reunited. i was in contact with her previous handleer and they told me when it was time to retire her out, they would contact me and they did. reporter: can you tell me about how thor was the only dog 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 couch and eat all kind of goodies and be retired. reporter: what is really amazing about these dogs, the american humane association who will be on capitol hill a little bit later on today says that each dog like these two saved between 150 and 200 servicemen and women when they are deployed. it is an amazing statistic and we re so lucky to have them here with us in washington. back to you in new york. very well behaved. all right. peter doocy with four heros. thank you. thank you all for your service. dogs were behaved and so was peter, as well as the veterans. i love to see those battle buddies reunited. great story. coming up, thousands of apple geniuses staging a revolt. what?

our son was sworn in to the united states army. that s kind of scary for you as a mother to think about his future then if people who have decided to make the military their career suddenly are looking for jobs. 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?

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. thank you. coming up, according to a new study, kids no longer want to win when they play sports. they just want to try. is that good?

there is a new study out of arizona state university where they say it s not eight hours. it turns out you should get seven hours is actually best. it helps with cognitive performance and 20 minutes less can impair your memory. if you got between 6 1/2 and 7 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
especially mine. happy mothers day and we ll see you next fox news sunday. this is the fox report. tonight, we are learning how they voted, and about violence at the polls. people in eastern ukraine deciding if they will break away and join russia and all eyes on capitol hill right now as we wait to see if democrats will take part in the search for answers about that terror attack on americans at a u.s. consulate in libya. i have said from day one, i want this to transcend politics and i want it to inspire trust in you and our fellow citizens. the head of a special panel set to get to the bottom of benghazi. vowing to take his investigation wherever the facts lead, but are congressman s trey gowdy s words enough to get democrats on board. i hope he sticks to what he said. the rules will determine if this is a fair process. we can never let this kind of outrage, if all of this true stand in this country. the fury growing deeper over the scandal surrounding the veterans affairs. allegations of secret waiting lists. now the question, should the man in charge lose his job? as a veteran myself, this is especially offensive. i think let s see what he does right now. does he get on this and make changes? and talking up the 2016 presidential race already, and look who says he s ready. i m harris faulkner. let s start with ukraine. reports of deadly violence in a polling station at eastern part of that country. the polls are closed now. one pro russian official call the turnout collossal and while the official results are not expected to come until tomorrow the u.s. and rest of the world are already dismissing them. the u.s. state department is calling it illegal in fact. ukrainians who live inside russia were given kind of an absentee voting right to go to a polling station in moscow. that s despite calls by vladimir putin not to hold that vote. greg, violence at the polls, as i just mentioned, what happened? reporter: yeah, harris. that was a big fear all through this day and we saw in heavy security in and around the polling places and it happened. it happened in a town on the western side of the donetsk region. they moved to shut down voting in the place. townspeople blocked them. they were shooting in the air and some shots in the crowd. local accounts say one dead, one injured. we do not have that confirmed. apparently got too hot in the town and they left. leaving a lot of very angry people there. pro russian forces are already saying that they have gotten some early results, so what are they? reporter: early results came in just a couple of hours after the polling places closed, harris, with turnout of about 75%. they claim 89% said yes for self-rule, 10% said no in the region above donetsk. you ve got to question this very strongly. it was pretty much clear to us during the day it was going to go yes. we can see through the transparent ballot box. a lot of irregularities. the question of a ballot was purposely vague. our feeling was that if you were not in favor of this, basically, you stayed home. you know, it was interesting too, greg, on the wires, they said the information from the polling was coming from pro russian insurgents. we ll have to weight for the official ruling on this. what is next for this region? reporter: now, we re basically looking for further reaction, harris. we re already hearing from one separatist leader and he is sounding like he will be announcing on monday there will be a new country here. he wants to establish new national or ganction also key, harris, will be russia. vladimir putin has been playing a very careful game in this. it was widely thought that he was basically backing this kind of activity. in the past couple of days he distanced himself from it, but we ll be waiting to see what russia says about it, and again ukrainian military here throughout this region, that is a big question mark, and also another big question mark, may 25th, presidential elections, supposed to be happening across ukraine. it s hard to believe it could happen here. a lot of questions, harris. just hearing what you are saying, the projection that maybe this is a new country taking form in eastern europe, what about the ukrainians who loved the old one. we ll watch the story. back here in the united states now on the growing scandal surrounding the veterans administration. two separate va facilities in wyoming and arizona accused of manipulating data to try to hide massive backlogs of patients who were waiting for care. at a hospital in arizona 40 veterans died waiting for help. a new temporary director was named there yesterday. in an outcry now to do more to right the wrongs against the men and women who served our country. illinois congressman adam kingser says this is an issue the air force and president obama needs to address together. this is a problem with bureaucracy. the people that really deserve this, those that put their life on the line for our country are the ones who get on the short end of this. and what is next in the story? va secretary shinseki who is a veteran of the vietnam war, is expected to testify this week. the topic heats up in our nation s capitol hill. the other big issue to watch for, the select committee set up to investigate the terror attack on our u.s. consulate in benghazi, libya. will democrats make it bipartisan? that panel made official on thursday with seven house republicans. those people were named, and that leaves five spots now open for democrats if they choose to use them. some democrats have said they want to boycott that panel claiming it s politically motivated. something the man leading the investigation, south carolina congressman trey gowdy flatly denies. we re going to go where the facts to take. they are not republican or democratic. they are facts. if we engage in a process that s not fair according to the american people, we will be punished as we should be for that. steve is live in washington where there s been a lot of reaction to this tonight, steve. you are right. the republicans want to find out what led to the attack and whether the white house was engaged in a coverup after the fact. at different times, you know, the administration said the attack was triggered by an anti muslim video. trey gowdy says there s vital information he needs to gather through the committee process. i don t have access to intel. i don t have access to sources and methods. i don t have access i ve never interviewed susan rice about anything. i ve never had an opportunity to ask the secretary of state questions about the lead-up to benghazi and why we were stale there. trey gowdy says that hearing is needed to bring to break down the barriers among the committees that have gone before and have had hearings and to bring a less fragmented approach to investigating benghazi. i know from our reporting there was at least one democrat leader who called it a huge waste of time to be on this committee. why is that? because it s already been investigated, say democrats. form former secretary of state hillary clinton testified. the question is whether democrats will join the committee. we ve participated in all the other seven investigations, if it s a fair, open, and balanced process, absolutely. what we don t want to see is reckless and irresponsible use of congress and taxpayer money to do these witch hunts. no word exactly on when democrats might make a decision on whether to join that select . international intelligence and military advisers are now arriving in nigeria to help with the search for hundreds of missing school girls. the terror group behind those kipgs remains active in the region as we know from this past week. boko haram is the groups name reportedly launching a series of new attacks, kidnapping a family and toiching torching a key bridge so they wouldn t be followed. nigerian police clashing with protesters demanding their return. the nigerian police, they are here to stop us from gathering, peaceful assembly. we have constitutional rights to assemble here. we will continue to agitate, protest, ask questions until these girls come back. live from the west coast following this, this past week, we learn some details how the united states is going to get involved in this. what s the latest? reporter: well we do know the states have sent a team across. they have been joined by the british and french who have sent experts to work out how precisely the west can be involved to assist the nigerian government. here in the united states, we ve seen incredible demonstrates outside the nigerian diplomatic missions. they want to see action from the u.s. government in helping the nigerians who are completely overwhelmed in this. but the question remains just what extent u.s. involvement could be. listen. we re going to bring to bear every asset we can possibly use to help nigerian government. i think you look at everything, but there s no intention at this point to be putting any american boots on the ground. in nigeria, today, we hear from military experts that the militants that kidnapped the girls have laid land mines in nigeria s jungles in anticipation of foreign special forces could actually move in and try and take them out and rescue the girls. no one is entirely sure what kind of operation could eventually happen. but clearly there was a will by the west to do something there. that s going to be worked out in the next few days, and i think we will hear that it s probably going to be the british and french troops that get sent in for this kind of mission because there s just no tolerance for the u.s. troops to be involved in anything. as you ve reported, and we keep reading, there s so much urgency with this because we know the leader of that group says he wants to sell these children so they are trying to move very quickly. thank you very much. right now, and this is something we ve been watching this afternoon, and so now as the heating has happened across the country, the late hours in the midwest, it has come to happen, we are seeing some severe storms in our nation s midsection and reports of tornadoes touching down. a full report from the fox weather center, stay close. i ys say be thman with the plan but with less ergy, moodiness, i had to do something. i saw mdoctor. a blood test showed it was low testosterone, not age. we talked about axiron the onlynderarm low t treaent that can restore t vels to normal in about two weeks in most men. axiron is not for use in women or anyone younger than 18 or men with prostate or breast cancer. women, especlly those who are or who may become pregnant, and children should avoidt where axirons applied as unexpected signs of puberty in children or changes in body hair or incased acne in women may occur. report these symptoms to your doctor. tell your doctorbout all medical conditions and medications. serious side effects could include increased sk of prostate cancer, worsening prostate symptoms, decreased sperm count, ankle, feet or body swelling, enlarged or painful breasts, problems breathing while sleeping and blood clots in the legs. common side effects include skin redness or irritation where applied, increased red blood cell count, common side effects include skin redness headache, diarrhea, vomiting, and increase in psa. ask your doctor about axiron. beautiful day in baltimore where most people probably know that geico could save them money on car insurance, right?

because this is something a lot of people like to do on vacations. last month, the national trapgs safety board actually recommended stricter regulations. citing, there have been 114 deaths since 1964, but lately a lot of recurring issues and deficiencies in the system. they believe that the faa should regulate the balloon industry just as strictly as they do the plane and helicopter industry. well, in the spirit of mothers day, a mom who not only took care of her own child, but also helped out his classmates. she s from michigan, and was outraged when they found out her son s school took away his lunch all because of an outstanding cafeteria balance of under $5. it was really embarrassing, especially in front of the whole lunchroom. i was apauled that he was denied lunch and his lunch taken out of his hand over $5. so potentially it could happen to somebody else. she didn t want to see that happen, so she paid the balance for everybody. all 19 students. the balance reportedly came to $200. and to her we say happy mothers day. the gop is getting ready to carry the ball. house speaker john boehner has announced that select committee to answer questions on the terror attacks which left four americans including our ambassador to libya dead nearly two years ago. seven republicans have been name to participate in that special panel. some democrats are considering boycotting that committee. so what does that say about our current state of affairs on capitol hill?

well, i think, harris, for the republicans this is doing what we ve been talking about for a year and a half, which is making a systemic effort to figure out what happened, where the talking points came from, why we didn t have the military response, and most of all, where the president was during the initial hours after the attack. harris, i don t like to use the phrase bottom line, but this is a bottom line initiative by the republicans to do fact-finding. it s fraught with political peril as i m sure we ll discuss. why is the gop finally going hard after these scandals? i have one more thing on to doug. why the stone walling by the administration? i mean if an ambassador is murdered six weeks before our presidential election, you would think the president would want the sympathy of america to be with the administration instead of hiding, they hid right from the get-go everything, hide, obfuscate, change the story, and we ve been pounding on this, the three of us, you know, and the speaker finally came around. why now? i think the last round of emails that came out forced his hand. he had been getting a lot of pressure. had 180 members of the house asking to appoint, and he finally said i have to do it. pat, do democrats boycott this thing? we re about to see. signing off whether they can have subpoenas. trey gowdy, i thought he made it very clear that he wants a fair investigation. going to doug s point which is we must if this thing looks political, and it s a bunch of republicans doing we ll get what the rnc did, being political, the democrats won t they will withdraw. they will claim a victory. what is disturbing most of all and i say this to the democrats which is why no one in my party has felt at least some republicans did in watergate, we deserve to know the truth of what happened and i have heard more outrageous spins and lies how there s nothing to know or whatever for the purpose of politics, just as i ve heard on the other side, when it involves american security, dead ambassador, dead americans. it is outrageous about our political system. i want to to goal now to twitter. if americans could be without that select committee. i want to know why our military did not go in and save them or even capture the terrorists. americans from polling have taken a great interest in knowing what happened because we lost an ambassador that night. specifically, they want to know whoi our military wasn t engaged. let me speak to her point. this is an issue of fact. the general when he testified said that we could have sent our troops in and made an impact. others in the administration say that there was nothing that we could have accomplished by sending troops. it would have taken too long. it s a legitimate factual question that deserves being answered, considered from all perspectives, and i think katie raise ds an issue that the select committee will take up. the real issue is why no one has been apprehended or punished. we know who did this for a long time, and the president said we will do something and we haven t. there s so much being hidden and covered up in this that involves so many aspects of national security, and american policy, but those fundamental questions and why there was no effort, you know, the questions the president one place i know the president wasn t that night was in the situation room, and you would think, you know, we get down to fundamentals. he went to the fund-raiser the next day. what was he doing that night? i want to press in on that a little bit. and i listed that among my questions. why is that important? there are times we know when things were done in the national security interest of this country, the president was in the situation room. we know because there are those photo ops so with this particular taking out of an ambassador, that is someone walking out dems accuracy around the world, where was the president if not in the situation room? maybe we ll find out. and maybe we ll find out what was the cia doing in benghazi, why have 30 cia people been forced to sign nondisclosure agreements? is that normal? no. and they are not allowed to talk to congress or the media and they get polygraphed every month to make sure they are not talking. and one would hope that in this investigation, those people would finally be called and subpoenaed to testify because never in this country s could you imagine richard nixon could have gotten away with suppressing people from testifying or talking to anyone about watergate? you know, i mean he sort of tried, pat. we mentioned watergate a couple of times. i want to echo pat. i watched congressman trey gowdy this morning with chris wallace. i was very concerned. i don t as a republican want this investigation to be seen as a political witch-hunt. what they did in watergate, the democrats were smart, and they picked two elderly senior congress people, sam irvine, peter rodino who were very partisan but they didn t act partisan. they were jeanal elderly guys who seemed fair and darrell issa has screwed benghazi up terribly. it s one of reasons that boehner did this is to get this thing away from issa and he gave it tie young second term congressman who out of the blocks on today s show did a good job. you are talking about trey gowdy. he s also a veteran prosecutor. roger barnhart says on twitter if democrats fail to participate, to us americans it shows a sign of guilt for a cover-up. my take is that could well be the case, if the republicans do a fair minded factual inquiry without political spin, yes, it could redown to the democrats detriment. let s talk about that. john, i want you to get you in here, but i also want to hear from representative trey gowdy from earlier today. let s watch that and i ll get your response. for me, i will not raise money on benghazi just like i never raised money using crime victims when i was a prosecutor, and i ve asked my colleagues to follow suit, but it would be helpful if our colleagues on the other side of the aisle did not have selective amnesia when it comes to what s appropriate to raise money off of and what is not. wow, this is kind of getting off topic here, john. what s happening with this? there s a phrase having a political tin ear, which bad politicians have this trait where they just don t connect, and i saw it the other day when this thing came out, and they asked the speaker three times at a press conference and he wouldn t answer it about the fundraising, what he should have said is i m the top republican in washington, and by the time this press conference is over, that fundraising is stopping and there will be no more of it. and here we are sunday and i haven t heard yet that it s stopped. pat. well, it just goes to show you there s no group that can destroy their opportunities more than republicans. i swear to god, the form a circle firing squad. how dumb? how outrajs? the reason we had if we had not waited a year and a half and done what we talk about the darrel issa thing and how badly he handled this, and the fact that as we said from the beginning, never could get the consistent fact-finding that doug is pointing out without a committee. boehner does that and then he does he sits on his hands on that, and then when with this fundraising of all the things not to do, which we said a week ago is make this political, you are just playing the democrats hand. people are furious right now. at least some of them on twitter. they are saying this is political, though. this is already political. that the republicans are not making it political. democrats have done this too in the past. that is pat s point and that s absolutely correct. but there s a larger political narrative here. yes, you want to do what s right and we re suggesting, all of us, that that should happen, but the democrats will argue, fp fundraising continues, if it becomes a game of political gamesmanship, rhetorical excess and the like. republicans will say we re concerned about unemployment, imt pleming the affordable care act. that s the real challenge. bottom line this for me, though. because going forward, if the goal is to find out what happened that night in benghazi, libya, you have seven respects that are ready to do it and if the democrats don t want to take part i remember a former select committee that 9 democrats on it and only 3 republicans. this is going to be 7 and 5. why are they baching? they are unsure of what to do. they are going to do it. i don t think they can afford not to. i didn t mean to interrupt you, john. i was going to say there s two keywords. fair. the american people will know if this thing is fair or not. if it s rigged, it s ruined. if it s fair, it will go somewhere, and the second one is what s the truth? that s the truth. that s what we ve said from the beginning. that is the issue, these dead american, for god sakes the american people deserve to know the truth and for those people in the mainstream media and members even of my own country who keep saying no one cares, i m telling half the democrats want this to happen. all right. our viewers are concerned about your voice, john. take some honey and water while we re in commercial break. we re looking ahead of the mid terms early on. new pollings show americans are angry. stay close. at delta we re investing billions of dollars, improving everything from booking to baggage claim. we re raising the bar on flying and tomorrow we ll raise it yet again. legs, for crossing. feet.splashing. better things than the joint pain and swelling of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. if you re trying to ma, now may be time to ask about xeljanz. xeljz (tofacitinib) is a small pill, not an injection or infusion, for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well. xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. seris, sometimes fatal infections and cancers have happened in patients taking xeljanz. don t start xeljanz if you have any infection, unless ok with your doctor. tears in the stomach or intestines, low bod cell counts and higher liver tes and cholesterol levels have happened. your doctor should perform blood tts before you start and while taking xeljanz, and roinely check certain liver tests. tell your doctor if you have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common, and if you have had tb, hepatitis b oc, or are prone to infections. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, and if you are pregnant, or plan to be. taken twice daily, xeljanz can reduce the joint pain and swelling of moderate to severe ra, even without methotrexate. ask if xeljanz is right for you. afghanistan, in 2009. orbiting the moon in 1971.

brian williams. good evening everyone. i m ann curry in for brian tonight. as we re seeing for the first time, the moment caught on videotape when bowe bergdahl was freed and taken into the protection of u.s. special forces after almost five years in captivity. the video which u.s. officials believe is real was shot by the taliban and is revealing what it captures and what it does not. we begin with our pentagon correspondent who walks us through the dramatic hand off, jim? reporter: first, ann, there is late word tonight that bergdahl s hometown of hailey, idaho had to cancel an event to celebration his return. there is concern with the attention paid to his story, local police just don t have the resources necessary to handle any potential problems. and today, something we rarely see, a taliban video showing bergdahl s release to american military forces. the taliban video released today records bowe bergdahl s final moments in captivity. bergdahl seen sitting in a pickup truck is blinking and rubbing his eyes like they were adjusting to the sun light. he s clearly blinking his eyes because he was blind folded on the way over so he could not relay to the special forces operations the route. reporter: clean shaven, he appears disoriented but in physically good condition. as helicopters circle above, americans are in radio contact to avoid fatal mistakes. taliban fighters cover the surrounding hills armed with rocket propelled grenades that could take down a helicopter there are three dozen special operations forces within striking distance as well as attack helicopters and an armed drone just in case. they understand what they are carrying. reporter: one taliban fighter leans in to give bergdahl a final warning, do not come back to afghanistan. finally bergdahl s ride arrives. as the black hawk helicopter lands, they above out. three americans cautiously approach and get close enough to barely touch hands with the taliban. you can see the man as we view on the left there, he uses his left hand, i think he s probably a right handed shooter and he doesn t want to compromise his ability to go for his weapon. reporter: one american brushes bergdahl s back, checking for a possible suicide bomb vest. bergdahl keeps a steady pace as they make their way to the chopper. before boarding, there is a more thorough pat down for weapons and explosives. less than 60 seconds after they landed the americans take off and for the first time in five years, bowe bergdahl is safely back in american hands. tonight pentagon officials report bergdahl will have to remain at the u.s. military hospital in germany longer than expected. the reason for the delay is not clear, and his homecoming could now be delayed into next week, ann. jim, thanks. in the meantime the political fallout continues for the obama administration. our political director chuck todd is traveling with the president overseas. chuck, good evening. good evening ann. hagel called

are finally briefing the entire senate today. meanwhile, back here a new war of words has broken out against president obama and russian president vladimir putin. today it was a forceful president obama declaring an attack on one nato member is an attack on all. he was sending the message, russian aggression in ukraine would not be tolerated if armed at nato. putin accused america of being the real aggressor, noting it s american troops that are stationed all around the world. this putin obama spat is giving the french president a headache. he s hosting both men to commemorate the 70th anniversary of d-day. he had to schedule two dinners tomorrow night. one for obama at 7:00 and one for putin at about 9:30. chuck todd thank you for covering that tonight. a severe storm system moving across the country that is already causing significant damage in the midwest is tonight packing hail and heavy rain as it cuts across the ohio and tennessee valleys. we get more on this from katy tur in cincinnati. reporter: a massive storm slammed the midwest today causing flash floods in ohio, missouri and iowa after pounding nebraska and much of the heartland late tuesday. it was horrifying. reporter: in omaha, five inches of rain fell in one day triggering dozens of water rescues. storm chasers in nebraska caught this show on camera. a straight line windstorm that lifted debris high into the air and send down hail the size of softballs that battered homes. look at the siding, blasted off. reporter: and damaged cars. on the highways, winds of up to 70 miles an hour. we just stumbled upon this about five minutes ago. a semi completely flipped. reporter: 52 cars over. they were blown over but no reports of injuries. it s already an active night and parts of the south and all 17

clinton who allowed a photographer in her home and talked for the first time in years about monica lewinsky and also, about her health and the decision she says she still has to make. we get more tonight on this from kelly o donnell. ramping up her already super charged visibility. thank you, thank you. reporter: hillary clinton has plenty to say. stay tuned. we will. when i know, you ll know. reporter: a book, hard choices out next week with its trailer of sorts. my views about what we needed to do to restore american leadership. reporter: and on news stands this friday, she s on the cover of people magazine but on that one big question clinton offers more to read. she says we need to break down the highest, hardest glass ceiling in american politics. a first woman president. i would love to see that happen, but i ll just have to make my own decision what i think is right for me. clinton turns the question about her health, the fall, blood clot and concussion into the paul ryan asking him at the inauguration have you ever had a concession? three at least. were they serious? he said one was really serious. she said hey, paul ryan has had lots of concussions. so she s immediately deflecting this noise around the health questions for herself. reporter: clinton takes the asked and answered approach. i certainly have moved on, adding, i m not going to comment on what did or didn t happen. i think everybody needs to look to the future. asked about her husband s health, she said he has enormous energy. from admitting to totally bing viewing the political drama house of cards clinton s free time is about to change. a first grandchild expected this fall. babies are special political creatures. it will certainly provide a whole new set of images we ve never seen of

to drop his lawsuit against the nba. tonight the fbi is asking for help from the entire country in finding and arresting anyone who points a laser at an aircraft. it s a serious problem with nearly 4,000 reports last year of helicopters and planes being targeted with lasers, bought off the shelf or over the internet. it s a growing risk for pilots and for passengers. reporter: it was in the skies over st. louis that a police helicopter was hit with a laser pointer from the ground. right now we re getting hit pretty good with a green laser. you re getting hit with a green laser. reporter: it s happening nationwide. since 2005, an 1100% increase in reports of aircraft being targeted by lasers. 11 times a day last year alone. the green lights illuminate dark cockpits, temporarily blinding them. the laser light and the effect it has on you in a darker cockpit is intense. reporter: the ghost guard called off rescue missions after its pilots were targeted a. felony punishable by five years in prison, the fbi is offering a $10,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest of anyone involved. there are hundreds and hundreds of people s lives at stake when people elect to shine lasers at airplanes. again, it s not funny. it s not a joke. reporter: most often planes are targeted when taking off or landing overnight. the airports with the most laser incidents in 2013, lax with 344 reports followed by more than 200 in phoenix and san francisco and then portland, miami and houston. i could probably walk into a crew room at a busy airport and ask how many pilots have been hit by a laser and i could see a significant number of hands go up. that s the extend of the problem. reporter: of the dozens of people convicted for laser tagging an aircraft. the fbi says most are teens or adult men who had no idea what they were doing was illegal with the potential for disastrous consequences. tom costello, nbc news, washington. today is the 25th anniversary of a massacre,

do you think they have a case. log on to the show, use the #keeptalking. fox & friends starts right now. bye. good morning. it is thursday, july 31, 2014. i m elisabeth hasselbeck. the house gets the green light to sue the president for making his own laws, but the president just laughed it off. stop being mad all the time. stop just hating all the time. and today he plans another executive action. surprise. and we now have the lois lerner e-mail she wishes got lost as well, and they reveal why she may have been targeting conservatives. because she thinks republicans are [bleep] and [bleep]. we re going to tell you what she was typing straight ahead. the video that just will make you happy. good boy. there s more to this. another happy homecoming. a soldier and his dog join us live this hour. mornings are better with friends. and squeeze and squeeze. it s richard simmons. the best exercise for your mind is fox & friends. he s our most bedazzled guest. he s pretty fit. usually fit people are pretty defined. he s helped millions of people lose a lot of weight and he s a friend of this program. thank you for joining us on this thursday. we ve got a busy day. how many times have you heard the president of the united states say these republicans are trying to stop me from doing my job. if they don t like me, sue me. good news, mr. president, you re getting your wish. the house authorized suing suing of the president. that s right. they aren t the only ones though. the president says, look, just stop being so mad about this. it s not a big deal. i m just going to sign another executive action today any way. this is him talking to a group in minnesota. think about this. they have announced that they re going to sue me for taking executive actions to help people. so, you know, they re mad because i m doing my job. everybody right now it s a political stunt but it s worse than that because every vote they re taking like that means a vote they re not taking to actually help people. we could do so much more if congress would just come on and help out a little bit. just come on [applause] come on and help out a little bit. stop being mad all the time. top just hating all the time. come on. let s get some work done together. [applause] an interesting view. if you do what the president wants you to do, you re helping people. if you don t, you re hurting the country. that s a good way to view all sides. the vote was 225-201. every democrat vote against it. all but five republicans vote for it. it is a way of calling out the president saying are you going to continue to do this because i m pretty sure it s unconstitutional. so let the courts decide. as far as charles krauthammer says, he says the president has got the idea of his job description all wrong. the president s job is not as a president to help people, in his interpretation of what he does, it is to faithfully execute the laws congress has passed. that is as clear as day. that is the definition of his job. and there s a very strong argument that he has overreached that by actually creating law, ignoring law, not enforcing law, changing laws on his own, which we re simply not supposed to do and there are many examples of it. the affordable care act, also cap and trade under scrutiny there for overreach. the overreach was decided by the supreme court. this isn t just republicans. there was a unanimous vote by the supreme court that recess appointments were unconstitutional. so charles krauthammer saying he may have his description wrong. it is not the only one who thinks that way. keep in mind while republicans say there are many things we could sue the president over, they focused it simply on one aspect of the affordable care act. remember they passed, the congress passed it. the president has been very selective in how he s implemented it. in particular, what they re doing is suing over the employer mandate. what he did essentially was the white house gave employers a one-year reprieve delayed until after the elections, plus employers who have between 50 and 99 employees didn t have to comply until 2016. the big question is whether or not the courts will say, well, congress, you ve got standing in the case. but it was as recent as in june the supreme court said when a law is unambiguous in other words, when it is clear what the law refers to the president cannot rewrite it to suit his own preferences. if a law has defects, then congress not the president has to fix it. the employer mandate is an interesting place to sue because a lot of people feel that will never go into place, including robert gibbs. says everybody knows that part of the affordable care act will never get off the ground because it is going to be too unpopular and hurt the bill. meanwhile, lois lerner, she doesn t know much about computers, not very good at math. and she had her computer crash. but we do know some of the content of the e-mails that have gotten out yesterday, and, man, if this is the stuff she didn t want out, i hate to see what she did want out. of the lost e-mails, wrote d.o.j. saying this deserves someone to spearhead this investigation criminally, which all three charges together could result in 11 years in prison for lois lerner if found guilty. she is on retirement. how can she go to prison? which we re still paying for. these e-mails here clearly indicate perhaps more than a smid john of corruption and attack on conservatives when you see what is written here. this is one. this is while targeting was going on in november of 2012. this is from unknown. you should hear what the whacko wing of the g.o.p. the u.s. is through, too many foreigners sucking the teat. time to hunker down buy ammo and food and prepare for the end. the right wing radio shows are scary to listen to. she responded with this. great. maybe we are through if there are that many a-holes. also from unknown and i m talking about the host of radio shows. the callers are rabid. from learner: we don t need to know about alien terrorists. it is our own crazies that will take us down. no wonder she didn t like tea party nonprofits, because they re run by terrorists. this is pretty damning stuff. i think the lesson here is for you people watching now, if you are going to scratch your hard drive, make sure you scratch it to the point where stuff like this is not released because it makes it look pretty bad. what did the president have to say in terms of reaction to this? remember when he sat down with bliley bill o reilly and bill asked him anything going on funny there? not even mass corruption? not even a smidgen of corruption. these e-mails seem to prove otherwise. she has an agenda and a lot of power. we need to find out how much power she had. it s time for a special prosecutor. doesn t look like it s going to happen because the d.o.j. is too busy talking about sex discrimination within the fitness test of the pennsylvania cops. that is where their focus is. that gives you a peek into the mind of a woman who is accused by republicans of using the i.r.s. as a weapon against other americans. just one other thing. some of the other e-mails showed that she was writing to an i.t. specialist at the i.r.s. and said i ve got a virus on my home computer and eventually she said it could have been because my password was too simple. you would think that somebody who was in that business would have a more complicated password than password 123, but a lot of people do. i m not say that s it. heather, what s your password? i ll tell you later. a lot going on in washington this morning and a lot elsewhere around the country. i want to bring you a story out of minnesota. a nine hour manhunt and a gunman accused of shooting and killing a police officer during a traffic stop was later shot himself. this unfolding in west saint paul, minnesota. officer scott patrick was shot in broad daylight. thatofficer leaves behind a wife and two teenage children. the search for the suspect, 39-year-old brian fitch ended in a gunfire with cops. fitch was shot. his condition not released at this hour. tragedy hitting the iewft of louisville. hitting the university of louisville. a cheerleader was found dead in her apartment, one of the top athletes on the cheerleading squad. i think when you re not only this young, but so athletic and beautiful, i think it is the last thing you expect. police are looking into whether or not drugs may have been involved in her death. now to the crisis along the border, fox news exclusively obtained a new report by the texas department of public safety and this revealed a disturbing trend of attacks against our border agents by gangs and drug traffickers, including shootings of federal agents. today in washington, the house will vote on a $659 million immigration bill and that would send resources to the border and speed up the return of illegal immigrants to their home countries. after that vote, republicans will move to vote on another bill, and that one would be to block president obama from expanding existing programs that protect illegals who have grown up in the united states. we will watch that story throughout the day. retiring yankee derek jeter is getting a presidential sendoff in texas. george w. bush honoring the captain in arlington by surprising him with a special presentation on the field. president bush giving jeter a signed photo that was taken the night that bush threw out the first pitch after the 9/11 attack. many of you probably recall what a big deal that was in our country at the time. the president recalling jeter s advice to him back then saying, quote, don t bounce it. they ll boo you. and those are your headlines. over the weekend we got a chance to see derek jeter at yankee stadium, fox fan day. a day to remember. speaking of days, today is thursday and it s #tb sp #tbt. there i was a summer camp counselor. look at that hair do. i had the bieber thing going before bieber. look at this. i kind of did this during the summer. that was through all sports radio. my most impactful job was my deep dish restaurant, my pie where i had to clear the tables and do the dishes in the same time. you worked in my pie? i worked at maitai cocktail place. a lot of those summer jobs are so bad, you don t want to remember. we would love see your best and worst summer job photos. send them our way and we ll show them. coming up on the program, breaking news about the ebola virus. one man is dead and no peace corps workers are being pulled out of africa. what s going on? can the virus spread here? is it just one airplane ride away from the united states? dr. marc siegel is with us next. imagine driving down the highway and this comes flying at you. yes, that s an ax. how it come inches from the passenger s face. for over a decade, doctors have been prescribing nexium to patients just like you. for many, prescription nexium helps heal acid-related erosions in the lining of the esophagus. there is risk of bone fracture and low magnesium levels. side effects may include headache, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. if you have persistent diarrhea, contact your doctor right away. other serious stomach conditions may exist. avoid if you take clopidogrel. nexium 40 mg is only available by prescription. talk to your doctor. for free home delivery, enroll in nexium direct today. but parallel parking isn t one you do a lof them.ings great. you re either too far from the curb. or too close to other cars. it s just a matter of time until you rip some guy s bumper off. so, here are your choices: take the bus. or get liberty mutual insurance. for drivers with accident forgiveness, liberty mutual won t raise your rates due to your first accident. see car insurance in a whole new light. call liberty mutual insurance. searching with devotion for a snack that isn t lame but this. takes my breath away it is the deadliest outbreak of the ebola virus in history and it is spreading. the c.d.c. releasing guidelines for airlines to prevent it from reaching the united states. nearly 700 people contracted it and died so far in western africa and this morning we ve learned liberia, the country of liberia will close schools and quarantine some communities and peace corps workers are being bowled out of that country. one man died from it. he was set to travel home next month. could the ebola virus reach the united states? joining us medical a team s own dr. marc siegel. how concerned should we be? i think we need to watch this very closely. there have been several previous ebola outbreaks. each time health officials have squashed them. it may not end up being a problem for us, but i think the chances are that it could reach the united states. we have to be prepared for that idea. there was a headline yesterday or the day before, i want to say on drudge, it was is ebola one airplane ride away from the united states? i think it is. but that doesn t mean that it s going to take root here. you have to understand, fear is the biggest virus of all and we can t panic over this. even if a case came here and people are not going to get it by casual contact on a plane. you have to get it by direct contact with discretions, with diarrhea, with sweating. you can t get it by coughing or sneezing. that s why we ve been able to squash these outbreaks in the past. even if it came here, the chances are the c.d.c. would be able to isolate the people that had it and it wouldn t spread. most likely. the victim, the 40-year-old gentleman, he was set to fly to minnesota. if he indeed did get here and if that did indeed spread through contamination on seats or in a restroom, what symptoms are displayed with ebola. how would you know you could possibly have this and what should we be looking for? that s the problem. initially ebola is flu-like symptoms. you get muscle aches, high fever, headache. then you get the vomiting and diarrhea. but that s like any virus. the biggest problem with ebola and people need to know this part is that the immune system doesn t respond to it well so it s hard to fight it off. that is why the death rate is so high. this particular outbreak is closer to 60. in the united states it would probably be lower because we would do more supportive care. here s something else we do in the united states. we did it with hiv-aids. we put doctors in gloves and gowns and masks. that s what prevents spread. the reason physicians and health care workers are getting it over this is they re not fully protected dependence the virus. they re not protected against the virus, using the same protection control measures we are do. we need to cover this story and we need people to be informed. by the way, there s four vaccines in the pipeline, several antiviral drugs. they don t have enough money. does anyone get better when they have ebola? about 40% to 60% get better. but it s hard to get better because of the problems with the immune system. tell us about this flesh-eating virus in florida. that s much less of a concern than ebola is but that is a bacteria a lot like cholera and it s in warm sea water and oysters, roy oysters. if you re immunocompromised you can get very, very sick from this. people wading off the coast of florida, it is very hot in florida this time of year, it is only 31 cases and 10 deaths. i don t want to spread panic. the key word is if you see a bug in the news, bacteria or virus, you should be concerned for those people but shouldn t think it will happen to you. all right. it s now 20 minutes after the top of the hour. she saw a child in a hot car and called the cops. she thought she was doing the right they think until that child s mother ran her over. what s behind the story of the soldier and his dog? you ll find out.

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

xfinity on demand and select the people s hotlist to see this summer s top 100 shows and movies. i voted! we told you about the landmark decision or the second amendment. a federal judge ruling washington s dc ban on hand guns unconstitutional. cops were order to do immediately stop arresting people for it. but two days later, it s illegal again. what happened? fox news senior judicial analyst judge andrew napolitano here. sometimes the law is a little crazy. for a couple days it was there. then people got panicky and they stayed the order. here is what happened. some retired police officers who wanted to be able to carry guns to protect themselves and others in their retirement years living in dc tried to get the permit to carry the gun. the city said no. nobody can carry guns in d.c they challenged the law. that challenge, along with other cases, was taken away from judges in dc by the chief justice and shipped to upstate new york. there was a back log in d.c a judge in upstate new york last week said the dc thou shalt not carry, no matter who you are is unconstitutional. it s been unconstitutional for 40 years and this is the first time it s been challenged. so therefore, everyone who lawfully owns a gun in dc can now carry it. the dc government said, we re not ready for this. the cops don t know the law. we haven t had a right to carry law here in dc in the past 45 years. can you stay? can you stop the effect of this until we can adapt to it and give some guidelines to the police for it? the judge said yes, i will stay it until october 1. if you don t appeal me, it becomes the law. if you do appeal me, it s in the hands of the appellate court. for another year? probably another year before they decide. this is a trend of federal judges deciding that local laws that let you have a gun in your home, but not outside the home are unconstitutional because it denies you the right to protect yourself. here is what the judge said after he gave the order. there is no longer any basis on which this court can conclude that the district of columbia s total ban on the public carrying of ready to use hand guns outside the home is constitutional under any level of scrutiny. key phrase, total ban, no matter who you were, no matter what your need for the gun, no matter how well trained you are. these guys are ex cops. total ban. that s what he threw out. dc wants to come up with some middle ground, it will be challenged again. we ll see if october 1, we ll see you in the fall when you re not raking leaves. you want to come up and help rake? that would be fantastic. let me tell you what s up next. a mom let s her 7-year-old son go to the park by himself. now she faces five years behind bars. so who is going to raise her son if this happens? has the law gone too far? that mom here live. and he wrote the book on leadership. rudy guiliani is here and he says the president is showing that he s not fit to lead. he ll expand on that. i love that suit. steve does, too. that s why he touched the mayor s back. good morning. today is thursday, july 31. i m elisabeth hasselbeck. the house gets the green light to sue the president for making his own laws. but the president just laughed it off. stop being mad all the time. stop the hating all the time. today he plans yet another executive action. a man who ran for president, mayor rudy guiliani, is going to weigh in on that straight ahead. yes, and we now have the lois lerner e-mails she wishes got lost. and they reveal why she might have been targeting conservatives. because she thinks they re [ bleep ] and [ bleep ]. we re going to show you what we can reveal. i m going to wash your mouth out with soap. i apologize. also a mother is arrested after letting her 7-year-old son walk to the park by himself. okay. now that mom is facing child neglect charges. is that fair? that mother sharing her side of the story with us live this hour. thanks very much for joining us, second hour on this thursday morning because mornings are always better with you. this is former mayor rudy guiliani. you re watching fox & friends, one of my favorite shows. we got to get him on. that would be a great idea. how soon do you think we can make that happen? i think in a minute. he s about three feet off camera. he ll join us in a minute. some of the magic of television. yes, wouldn t it be great if he was here? yes, he s right there. mayor rude cree with us shortly. lots of magic if you tell everyone. hi, heather nauert. good morning to you. i ve got news from other parts of the country. let s start in minnesota. a nine-hour manhunt, the gunman skiesed of shooting and killing a police officer during a traffic stop was later shot himself. this unfolding in west st. paul, minnesota. officer scott patrick was shot in broad daylight. that 47-year-old officer leaves behind a wife and two teenage children. the search for the suspect, 39-year-old brian fitch, senior, ended in a gun fight with cops there. fitch was shot. his condition has not been released at this hour. our prayers go out to the officer s family. it was way worse than we ever thought. we just learned that 20 million gallons of water lost after that water main burst near ucla. originally they had said they thought it was 10 or 20 million. but it s more. six people cleaning up the university s flooded basketball arena were treated for exposure to carbon monoxide. they were helping pump water off that court when they got sick from inhaling generator fumes there. a dangerous health threat this morning at an immigration detention center at our nation s border. ice officials just had to put a facility on lockdown because of a highly contagious form of chicken pox. there has been a major outbreak there. fox news now has your first look inside. right now no immigrants are allowed to be transferred in or out of this facility right here. it opened about a month ago in new mexico. and you remember when president obama said this about the irs? there was some bone headed decisions out of but no mass corruption? not even mass corruption. not even a smidgen of corruption. okay. how is this for not even a smidgen of corruption? new e-mails catching lois lerner ranting about republicans. a house panel releasin e-mails that show her referring to conservatives as a-holes. excuse me, that s when it says, and crazy. house republicans say the new evidence proves her, quote, hostility toward conservatives. there are calls to appoint special counsel to look at targeting of conservatives. a lot to talk about this morning. those are your headlines. all right. thank you very much. and joining us now, former mayor of new york city, rudy guiliani. hey, if she s calling conservatives a-holes, there is a good reason she probably took the fifth. do you see a smidgen of corruption there? i see civil rights violation. think about it. explain that. you can t just go out against someone based on race, religion, political preference. and this particular case, she s indicating a bias. she shouldn t be doing that job. she doesn t like conservatives. then she targets them. i can see putting together a very strong criminal civil rights case, which the justice department has done many, many times and usually it s in the area of race or religion. right. will eric holder s department of justice do that? if it s as clear as it seems, it s going to be a asked and scf they don t. do you think they re trying to let the clock run out? there is statute of limitations? a couple of years. a republican attorney general could take this over and embarrass them. the reality is from the moment she took the fifth amendment t sent off signals. it could be she was just protecting herself. but there had to be something there she was protecting herself against. if she had a nice, simple explanation, then you get it over with. you don t create this problem. now we re starting to find out why she was so worried. who knows how many more of those comments are. maybe they re more explicit. at least it opens the door to a serious criminal civil rights investigation. logic tells you this got out, how bad are the other ones that you re willing to put up the public embarrassment? i would rather lose these e-mails then have these e-mails exposed and deal with it. i m sorry burks as a former prosecutor, investigator for more of my life as a politician, when e-mails get lost, they don t get lost. i m with you. we ll find them some day. every lost e-mail i ever found made my case and put the guy in prison. to quote donald rumsfeld, we only know what we know. we ll see what we end up knowing. you also understand politics and the law. we see the house suing the president, saying you have overstepped the executive border, specifically when it comes to the affordable care act and when it comes to suspending the employee mandate. fascinating issue. takes me back to law school. when i was on the nyu law review, i wrote with my roommate an article relating to the expulsion of adam clayton powell and whether the supreme court would use the political question doctrine to avoid the case. ancient doctrine that says even if it is illegal, it s too much between two branches of government and the court has to stay out of it. it s between the president and the executive. so they re going to have to overcome that, the political question doctrine. that s the bad side. the good side is these are blatant violations of the law. he ignores it. law says he can t do this. he does it. i don t know. it s going to depend on how the court views how far it wants to go in interfering between two co-equal branches of government. what you re saying is there is a real good possibility the courts won t take the case because the congress doesn t have standing because the framers wanted there to be tension no, no. they ll take the case and analyze the case and then they ll say, this if they do this. they ll say this is a political question that the constitution did not really want us to decide. they wanted the other two branches of government to get together and figure this out. they didn t want to interfere too much in it. now, that s if it s just one question, one issue. what i think the case they re putting together tries to show is this is multiple, multiple times that he has violated laws that he signed. that gets you a little beyond the political question. that gets you to lawlessness, that the president is acting in a lawless way. therefore, i think there is a chance that this case could get heard. obviously the president really is taking this seriously. just take, for example, what he said yesterday. they have announced they re going to sue me for taking executive actions to help people. you know, they re mad cause i m doing my job. everybody recognizes this is a political stunt, but it s worse than that because every vote they re taking like that means a vote they re not taking to actually help you. we could do so much more if congress would just come on and help out a little bit. just come on. come on and help out a little bit. stop being mad all the time. stop this hating all the time. come on. let s get some work done together. his hands are tied. he can t get anything done. charles krauthammer earlier i heard made an excellent point. but it s very, very important. his job is not to help people, primarily. his job is to follow the law and through following the law, help people. this is as if he has his own conception of how you help people. and if you can help people and involves violating the law, then i m morally okay. but if congress says you can not do this and doing it would help people, he s not allowed to do that. the constitution has not made the president of the united states the arbiter of what helps people. the constitution of the united states said the president executes the laws and in executing those laws that is set by congress, then he helps people. if he violates them, he s hurting people. this is not a government of happy hour. we re all going to help each other. we have laws. we follow those laws. each one has a function and then we assume that by doing that, that s how we have a happy society. does he not know this or is he willing to this is constitutional law president can t do this kind of analysis. this is like a man for all seasons when thomas moore s son-in-law wants him to violate the law and thomas moore says this country is planted thick with laws like treaties and if you break one of them, all the trees will come down. this is a country of laws. the president doesn t understand that, we re in it. that statement could help that lawsuit get beyond the political question and say this isn t an isolated incident here or there. this is conduct that is going on over and over again in which he s just completely violating what congress has passed and there is no other remedy for it. right. you re the perfect guy to talk about that stuff because you did run for president. you are a law scholar as well. and you were the mayor of new york city. and the new guy who is the mayor of new york city, bill de blasio, has returned from his vacation in italy to gracie mansion, which apparently has furniture from west elm, $65,000 worth upstairs. now he s blasting the cops on stop and frisk. listen to this. for much of the previous 12 years, there was a growing tension and grows disconnect between police and community all over our city. this administration came into office with a commitment to am end in the broken policy of stop and frisk. the overuse of stop and frisk, the unconstitutional use of stop and frisk. we settled the related lawsuit. we changed the practice on the ground and the numbers speak for themselves. what city was he living in for 12 years? i feel kind of left out. stop and frisk started 20 years ago with me and bill bratten, his police commissioner. didn t stop with mike and ray kelly. they carried it on. they carried it on brilliantly and carried it on. and carried on crime reduction and built on our successes and had success of their own. this thing started 20 years ago. i d like to take him back to what the city was like 20 years ago. how about 1900 murders 20 years ago? 22 years ago when the administration he worked in, they were 2200 murders. 2200 murders. last year, about 340. so 2200 murders is more than iraq. we were a city that was described as the crime capital of america. we were on the front cover of time magazine during the administration that he worked in that he seems to be emulating. we were called the rotting of the big apple. 12,000 felonies a week. is this personal to you? for him to make a speech? no. it s the ignorance of the left, the idea that if you enforce the law, you re really harming people and hurting people. what you ignore is the fact that who are the victims of these crimes? 80, 90%, they re poor people. 80, 90% they re minorities. the people you re saving, the lives you re saving, the thing that i m proudest of, the thing i believe mike is proudest of are the thousands and thousands and thousands of people, many minorities, but all people whose lives we saved because we had the courage to take tough action that the new york times routinely condemns. that was 20 years ago. those thousands of people would not be alive today if we had succumbed to political correctness. in 1984, the year we re talking about throwback thursday, summer jobs. there you are. that s a job earlier in your career, a man on a mission. that wasn t a summer job. that was when i was u.s. attorney, probably putting the families of the mafia in jail or maybe ivan boski, or maybe some of ed koch s commissioners. or vito s son-in-law. thank you very much. thanked you. we are seeing more and more of this next type of story. parents being turned into criminals because other people don t like the way that they parent. the most recent case, a florida mom arrested after she let her 7-year-old son walk to the park alone. now she s facing child neglect charges. here to share her side of the story is mom nicole campaigny and john whitehead, president of the rutherford institute and author of government of wolf. thank you for being with us. thank you. nicole, what happened that day? dominic is seven years old and as we read, you let him walk to the park. was he in danger? no. i personally don t think so. i let him go up there and play. i give him a cell phone so i can check on him regularly and he can call me if there is any emergency. we saw the photo of him. we understand what with that cell phone around his neck, you were teaching him to be safe. did he feel unsafe? when he came home, what did he say to you, because the police then, someone came up and talked to him, called the police. the police ended up bring him home. what were his words to you? when i was they had me in handcuffs and told him after they took him out of the cop car to go straight to his room. and as he was walking into the home, he was like mommy, i m sorry. i wanted to go to the park. he was absolutely upset and scared and thought this was his fault. john, i want to ask you, legally the definition of neglect seems to be include failure of the parent to provide the child with supervision. it doesn t seem as though dominic was threatened at the time. when the police came up to him, as the story goes, he was playing with friends, had his cell phone. if he wasn t in danger, how can they possibly have a case? nicole is facing five years in jail. it s a felony. five years. you got to be kidding me on this situation. no. there is no legal neglect here. i think you have overzealous policeman. but policemen are not expert at child welfare. the child welfare is the one who investigated this and they, according nicole, think the charges should be dropped. i think the big question we re facing here is who is the parent? the policeman or the welfare department or this hard working mother who is arrested like a criminal. this is the thing that really concerns me. what are the best interests of the child here, if this mother has to go to prison? what s going to happen to this child? nicole, are you a good mom or a criminal? i m a good mom. we re going to see how this case unfolds certainly as it looks like he was not in danger at the time. we d love to follow up with you. please stay in touch. nicole and john. thank you. coming up, a bizarre scene playing out in court. why in the world was this suspect taped to a wheelchair and gagged inside the courtroom? then we all want safe what if you could cut your grocery bill in half without clipping a single coupon. we ll tell you how next. wóóñt the kentucky democrat who thinks she can take mitch mccome s seat in senate needs a refresher course on i guess military stuff. during a campaign event, kentucky state senator candidate allison lundgren said this, the iron dome has been a big reason why israel has been able to withstand the terrorists that have tried to tunnel their way in. oh, really? but as you know, the iron dome actually protects israel from rockets that go in the air. that s a lot of different from protecting against the underground tunnel which is take the israelis we ve got a firsthand look inside those tunnels this morning as israel calls up 16,000 more troops. john huddy is live at the israel-gaza border where it has been very active so far this morning. john? reporter: sure has. by the way, we re hearing those 16,000 reservists that are called up will be relieving other troops on the ground. so far in the 24 days of operation protective edge, 86,000 reservists have been called up. that said, israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, says with or without a cease fire, israel will continue its operation of rooting out and destroying hamas network of tunnels. we got to go inside of one of those tunnels. take a look. the israeli military says the tunnel is about a mile and a half long discovered at its midway point, a quarter mile inside israel from the border. 50 feet underground. we found it opened up more as we went deeper in. so we re going into up with of the tunnels. it is very deep underground here. obviously you can see it s really tight in here. very tight right here. it starts to open up. as we make our way deeper into the tunnel, gives a little more clearance here. the walls are really thick. very well reinforced. this was used for electricity. then let me show you this down here. was used for the transport of cargo. the smell of basically dirt and concrete. i got to say, it s a little unnerving in here. this is captain daniel. how deep are we right now? 50-meters underground now. it serves one purpose, to get inside the center of israel and towns around. come out of the tunnel with weapons and kill and kidnap as much citizens and soldiers as possible. now israeli commanders say that at this point, 32 tunnels have been discovered, including the one that we went into. now we re hearing 20 have been destroyed. that operation obviously continues today as well. back to you. all right. john huddy on the border. we thank you very much. those things took years to create. i think so. what are they used to do it? supposedly the building supplies that they were in short supply of there in the gaza. now we know what they were building. it wasn t schools. it was tunnels. right. the president is set to huddle up with leaders on foreign affairs today with regard toga. why the suspect was tape to do a wheelchair and gagged like hannibal lecter. it s a father and son project of presidential proportion. wait until you hear what bush 41 and bush 43 are up to. take a look at this. it s your shot of the morning. u.s. open is just around the corner. then we have last year s winners are coming back for more. before they get their hands on these, we have them with us on set. the official trophies engraved with winners from past tournaments. every year they have the winners names engraved on the trophies before they return them to the tennis hall of fame. the actual winners get a replica. it starts obvious 25 right here august 25 right here in new york city. look at this. right in queens next to citi field. they got relatively new facility. it s arguably one of the biggest events of the year. so when you see somebody win the u.s. open, they hold the trophy and you figure they take home. nope. these are the trophies year they used these same ones. guess who won in 1968? the men? the men s is bigger than the women. arthur ashe is correct. who won in the women s side? could it be virginia wade? very good. it could be. it is virginia wade. yes, it is. so then what they do is after they win, they get to keep them for a couple of days and then send them to tiffany s and put all of their names right here t. looks like they re running out of space. the players have to put their own name on it? yeah. you have a jackknife? i could do something right here. go ahead. you ll have nine people dive on you here in the wings. the prize is up to $3 million award for winning. it s not about the money. of course not. it s about the trophy. thank you very much. the u.s. open for letting us borrow this. and let us keep them. really a nice surprise. the victory trophy first. meanwhile, heather nauert you want to hold this? absolutely. an unbelievable story. in the olden days, you hear about people trying to get contraband into prison and bake a nail file in a cake? listen to what s happening now. police are now closing in on a person who tried to fly a drone that was filled with drugs and other contraband into a maximum security prison. the drone crashed in the bushes just outside the lee correctional institute in south carolina. it was filled with pot, cell phones and tobacco products. one suspect already arrested. the other one still at large. the suspect in the las vegas casino robbery makes a bizarre appearance in court. look at this. he is wrapped in a blanket with a mask over his head and taped to a wheelchair. all kind of like animal lecter from the movie. he was wheeled into court because he refused to cooperate with officers. the judge ordered him to appear in court by any force necessary. the f.b.i. alleges carmichael entered the bellagio casino, pulled a bb gun and order the teller to hand over about $43,000 in cash. it is a father-son project of presidential proportion. president george w. bush writing a book about his father. he s been working on this for about two years now and bush 43 says, quote, george h.w. bush is a great servant, statesman and father. i loved writing this story of his life, and i hope others enjoy reading it. the biography doesn t have a title yet. it will be released on veteran s day this year, november 11. a labor of love. talk about a whole lot of luck. an indiana guy won a million dollars jackpot three times. no, twice in three months. robert hamilton beat the one in 2.1 million odds, two different times, playing the same scratch-off game. the first million he won in april. that one he bought a house and paid debts. the winnings for the second will be used on a motorcycle. congratulations. good job. those are your headlines. he s a winner. definitely lucky. twice. there you go. thank you, heather. maria molina joins us now with a look at what s going on outside with weather. good morning. hello. i want to start out with your current temperatures because across parts of the east we ve been setting record lows during the morning hours. temperatures have been in the 50s. today it s a little bit better. but you re still waking up to temperatures in the 50s in places like cleveland, ohio and low 60s in chicago. so still a little cool, especially for the month of july across portions of the great lakes. your high temperatures are going to be warming up a little bit. low 80s in new york city. 80s in atlanta. still hot from texas to parts of arizona. 111 degrees for your high in phoenix. across portions of the northeast, we are going to see showers. they ll be isolated across the region and there are also going to be a slight chance for storms. there is a slight chance some of the storms across parts of new england could produce some severe weather. keep an eye out for that. otherwise farther west across portions of eastern texas, eastern oklahoma, western parts of arkansas, we re expecting an area of low pressure to be moving eastward. out here it will be producing areas of heavy rain. concern for flash flooding. steve, let s head over to you. all right. thank you very much. we all like to save some money without working too hard to do it. so what if you could cut your food bill, grocery bill in half and never have to clip a single coupon? that sounds pretty good. here to tell us more is personal finance expert lauren lions cole. good morning to you. good morning. that s the thing, a lot of people love the idea of saving money, but they don t want to clip coupons because there is something about coupons and it s a hassle. but it s money! it s true. it takes a lot of time to clip coupons. but you don t have to invest the time. there is other ways to save. for instance, you say pick up the weekly circular. exactly. you can pick it up as you re walking into the store. there are tons of sales without even picking up a pair of scissors that you can get while at the store. if you get it before you get to the store, you can even plan your weekly meals around the sales. because some of those, you can save up to 50%. the stuff on sale is there for a reason. exactly. when you go shopping, and i didn t realize this, pick an off time. a lot of people go certain times, particularly on the weekends. how does that save you money? if you re shopping when everyone else is shopping, you re probably going to fall back into convenience or shopping from habit, just throwing things in the cart, especially if you have the kids with you. try going at a time when the store will be less crowded. you can walk slowly, think through the sales, look at the circular ad. those times are wednesdays and thursdays, weekend evenings, or any morning, super early first thing when they open. in other words, if somebody needs something to do on a saturday night g to the grocery store and save money. that s the best time to go. try it. when you go on a saturday night, make sure you take your smart phone because there are a bunch of apps that are available that tell you what? the millenials are couponing more than any other generation with technology. there are two great apps i m going to recommend. bravado and slip. if you use these apps, you can get all sorts of coupons. they ll deliver customized what you re shopping for. okay. and the name of that once again is favado and flip. all right. that s easy. this is something we ve been doing at our family since we ve got three kids. they re all over the place. buy vast quantities. buy in bulk if you can. right. so if you re buying something like onions, they re going to last for a long time. buy the bag. don t buy them individually. keep in mind, you want to look at the unit prices when you re doing this cause every now and then, food manufacturers are smart. the big can of peanut butter every now and then might cost more than the smaller one. so look at the unit price. now my wife and i are alone because the kids are all over the country. so when we go to costco and we buy the 19 pounds of peanut butter, it might take 19 years to go through it. right. sometimes if you re going to end up wasting the food, you re not saving. make sure you re buying the amount you can eat. and buy generic. if you buy the house brand or generic brand, you can save how much? up to 25%. this is one of those tips that everybody knows they should do, but still, we don t do it consistently. so if you re not sure if the quality is quite the same, flip the box around, look at the ingredients. if they are the same, then buy generic. save 25. i m going to download that app right now. thank you for joining us. thanks for having me. good information. coming up on our program today, is your teen-ager having a tough time

and business owners. what are they saying there? good morning. i got to tell you, it s a rough summer when it comes to teens getting work. we found a few teens working here. they are setting up for the day as they re about to be filled with tourists and everybody else. i got to tell you, it s a tough summer for teens. down 12% now when it comes to teens hiring. why are they not getting jobs? because older workers are getting hired. let s bring in our guest and talk about why are you got 1,000 applications? at least 1,000 applications. everybody wants a job and it s very hard to find jobs today. you were telling me earlier that a lot of older kids, even kids in their 20s, are coming in. they want to work here, so you re not hiring as many teen-agers. right. the job market is so wide open. especially teachers, small job market for them. they re looking for work. we want to get the best person to work for us. there is a lot of kids here. we love hiring kids. we love being on the beach. you guys are setting up and we want to let you know that if you look at the labor participation rate as we re getting ready to get the initial jobless claims today, it s about 34 to 40% right now. that s in the range. that is because a lot of these teen-agers decided just not to get work and decided to do other things. maybe take a little vacation. let s bring in nicole, she s 19. she s a junior. come over here. talk to me about your summer work. you knew that you needed to work this year. was it tough to get a job? i was lucky enough for this to be my second year here. i started here last summer. but i used to work at camp malibu. once i knew the restaurant opened up, i wanted to send in an application. are you going to work the entire summer? are you saving for school? yes. i m saving the money for school. i ll be here until probably august 20, right up to when school starts. and sam, you re 15 years old. you re the only high schooler that s working for the summer. i used to work in high school. but what are the rest of your friends doing this summer if not working? vacation, hanging out, i m the only one of my friends kind of working. yeah. all right. girls, i have to tell you, i want to ask you, what do you say to the rest of your friends out there on the beach right now and not working? get a job. the money is good. you can buy clothes. i have to tell you guys, again, as we re waiting for all this big data that s coming out, we re getting the jobs report for the month of july. that s going to be tomorrow. we re going to be getting more initial claims coming up in the next few moments. but i have to tell you, it really has been a rough summer for all of these teen-agers and as they try to set up and save money, it looks like the employers out there and someone told me earlier, it s getting tighter in the labor market right now because basically you are finding that obamacare, a lot of those major restaurants, those chains are not hiring anymore because they re trying to keep the amount of workers lower, kids. so they are actually, a lot of those older workers working at major chains are coming here for a second job because they need the work. this is the kind of summer that we re having right now, especially here. but really across the country. that s what we re finding out here. we re going to see how the data comes out tomorrow and see what the numbers tell us. we could have sent you anywhere. you could have went to a mall. it s amazing you chose the beach restaurant to explain to us about teen unemployment. yeah. i really have a tough time when i have to go travel for fox & friends. you send me to rotten places. but cheryl, you know about traveling because today our tbt, throwback thursday is all about summer jobs. this is a picture of you at your first job out of college when, ladies and gentlemen, cheryl casone was a flight attendant with southwest airlines. look at that. that was me. long time ago. love that. it s

from us? the details coming up next. first on this day in history in 1975,, one of these nights by the eagles was the number one song. ooo swear i m gonna find you one of these nights one of these days i voted for culture. .with a k. how are you? i voted for plausible deniability. i didn t kill her, david. and i voted for decisive military action. america, you cast your votes. now, go to xfinity on demand and select the people s hotlist to see this summer s top 100 shows and movies. i voted! the answer to the trivia question. dean cain. our winner is dean cain. he called in. bill from

that. what s different about it? not so icy. i didn t really hold the job too long. don t look for tip money. brian, you re fired. no tip for you. switching gears. new concerns this morning about the deadly ebola virus. this as two american peace corps workers are quarantined outside the u.s. after being exposed. anna kooiman has more. reporter: good morning. officials now saying this is the largest ever record outbreak of the disease. those two american peace corps workers came in contact with an individual who later died from the virus. they will likely be brought to the united states once doctors clear them. we are learning they are under close observation and are not showing symptoms yet. but the peace corps has decided to evacuate 340 of its american volunteers from three african countries out of precaution during this deadly outbreak. in liberia, schools shut down and employees have been order to do shut down. the scare reached north carolina yesterday, shutting down a section of a hospital for hours. doctors thankfully determining the patient is in fact not infected. we acted out of an abundance of caution, making sure that all precautions were in place to protect our patients as well as our health care workers. reporter: the ebola virus spreads through close contact with bodily fluids like blood or touching contaminated surfaces. symptoms include fever, headache, muscle aches and the risk of dying once you get it is 90%. this killed one american, patrick sawyer, who contracted it flying from liberia to lagos. the cdc says there is no significant risk here in the united states. the reason physicians and health care workers are getting it over there is they re not fully protected against the virus. they re not using the same infectious control precautions we do. i don t want any panic spreading here. the two other americans fighting for their lives, missionary workers in liberia, are slowing slight improvement. and the cdc has released new guidelines for airlines to prevent it from reaching the united states. back to you. thank you very much. coming up on this thursday, are you tired of debt collectors calling your house in the middle of supper time? there is a way to get rid of them for good. what you need to know coming up in the next hour. eat out? that s one way. president obama is facing repeated calls for his impeachment because of the immigration crisis at the border. but yesterday house speaker john boehner says in fact, republicans actually have no plans to impeach the president. which got weird when obama was like, damn. good morning. today is thursday, july 31. i m elisabeth hasselbeck. the house gets the green light to sue the president for make his own laws and the president just laughs it off. stop being mad all the time. stop this hating yqñ?ñ?ñ?ñ?ñll . today he is celebrating with another executive action. and what did lois lerner really think of conservatives? we now have some e-mail that she wished she would have lost, calling republicans [ bleep ] and [ bleep ] watch your mouth. that wasn t my mouth. that was my head. watch. [ bleep ]. a little slow. we re going to tell you what my read. someone better buy this fan a new bud lite because she caught the homerun ball with her budweiser. there goes nine bucks. mornings are better with friends. this is dean cain, you are watching fox & friends in the morning. so am i. happy birthday, dean cain, as we learn from our trivia question of the day. today is his birthday. i wonder if that fan actually intended to catch it with her glass or if that was an accident. i don t think so. you have a choice when the ball comes. do i drop the beer or catch the ball, or do i hold the beer and let the ball hit me? she s like, let me just you can sort of have your beer maybe she had a couple of beer before and didn t notice the ball and it s just a hole in one. look at that. later it will show the mitt blinded her, preventing her from seeing the ball come down and hit her beer. can we see that one more time? we re going to see it in the regular news a second. the mitt blinded her. blinded by the shlitz. making a splash. we got a busy one hour that starts. the judge will join us in a moment much first we got heather with the news. good morning. quite a story coming out of the midwest. a nine-hour manhunt and the gunman accused of shooting and killing a police officer during a traffic stop was later shot himself. this unfolded in west st. paul, minnesota. officer scott patrick was shot in broad daylight. that 47-year-old officer now leaves behind a wife and two teenage children. the search for the suspect, 39-year-old brian fitch, senior, ended in a gun fight with police. fitch was shot, his condition, not being released at this hour. a shopping center is now the site of a firey plane crash. i knew it was going down and then they were on the ground and in flames and a lot of black smoke. imagine all the people around. that plane clipping the top of a target store and then hitting a pole before it slammed into a parking lot at a nearby costco. the pilot now in the hospital. her passenger died. no word yet on what caused the crash. certainly lucky that a lot of people weren t injured in that. america s first homicide bomber in syria returned to the united states before he carried out his deadly attack in syria. a new report says that this 22-year-old florida native spent months in the united states after he got his terror training. he drove a truck that was packed with explosives into a restaurant in northern syria and this just released video filmed before his death, shows him ripping up his u.s. passport. he bites it, sets it on fire, and leaves a chilling message, we re coming of you. one bank s atm is dishing out a lot more than cash. oh, my goodness. never seen such a beautiful surprise. how sweet is that. look at that, presents and flowers. thanks to its customers, citibank set up a special automated banking machine yeah. in canada. gifts included money, flowers, and the chance to throw out the first pitch at a blue jay s game. how cool is that? those are your headlines. what a clever idea. that s fantastic. way to make somebody s day. thank you. we ll say thank you. flowers on the way. as we go to what s happening in washington, judge napolitano rejoins us on the couch. yesterday there was a vote in the house to go ahead and sue the president and only five republicans decided not to. everybody else was on board. all democrats were against it. so therefore, they re moving ahead with the lawsuit. if you follow up on the very, very prudent, very astute analysis that mayor giuliani gave seated right here about an hour ago, the court will have to decide is this a political question? is this an issue that the courts were intended to resolve? are judges competent and capable of telling presidents how to perform their jobs, or should they stay out? in my opinion, it s a slam dunk. it s a political case. and the court will dismiss it as soon as the president s lawyers move to because the separation of powers? yes, yes. the constitution was written to create this tension. now look, i believe that the president is either incompetent or lawless. i would cheerlead the arguments the republicans are making against him. i believe he s the most lawless president in modern times. my op ed at foxnews.com and elsewhere this morning attempts to make that case. the remedy is an unpleasant one. it s not a lawsuit because it will be thrown out. madison provided the remedy in the constitution. it s removal from office. you re talking about impeachment. yes. i know we don t want to go through the political aggravation and maybe that s the ironicallvon this i agree with the president. the lawsuit is a political stunt. here is the test: with these members of congress spend their own money on lawyers to file a lawsuit knowing it s going to be dismissed? of course not. it will be a waste of money. then they shouldn t spend ours. the supreme court decision back in june unanimously said that obama was out of line for making recess appointments. absolutely. that at all does not factor into how you believe that courts would see this at all in terms of overreach? an interesting question. the remedy for his being out of line and filing these nominations on a saturday morning when he knows the senate is not in session is to invalidate the nominations. it s not to force him to file them on another day. this lawsuit wants to force the president to do things that judges would basically say not our job. so you say impeachment is a remedy. yes. it may be imprudent because it may cost the country more than it s worth. but it s a remedy in the constitution. sure. a couple days ago i said i don t know anybody, republicans or conservatives, who are talking about impeachment. that s true. the people in myever day life our colleagues, governor palin and a few others. are you suggesting republicans do that, because it s a political loser. i m suggesting that it would be far more constitutionally appropriate now than it was in a case of bill clinton and i m suggesting that it is the only remedy under the constitution for a president who is either, either incompetent or lawless or both. that s the title of your column. here is the president yesterday, obviously he is really taking this serious. think about this, they have announced they re going to sue me for taking executive actions to help people. so, you know, they re mad cause i m doing my job. everybody recognizes it s a political stunt, but it s worse than that because every vote they re taking like that means a vote they re not taking to actually help you. we could do so much more if congress would just come on and help out a little bit. just come on. come on and help out a little bit. stop being mad all the time. stop this hating all the time. come on. let s get some work done together. this is the most serious constitutional crisis since watergate and he s making a joke out of it. let me argue, it s not the president s job to help people. read the constitution and read your oath, mr. president. it s the president s job to uphold the constitution. he s acting like he s the grandfather in chief, the uncle in chief rather than the law enforcer in chief. a law enforcer who only enforces laws he agrees with. does it hurt him that congress doesn t want to do what he wants to do, and therefore, they both have a point of view? he wants people just to do what he wants them to do. he doesn t want to compromise. his job is not to write the laws. his job is to enforce the laws that the congress writes whether he agrees with them or not. he took an oath to do that. it s all about compromise these days if you want to get anything done and it s tough. it s a toxic environment in washington, d.c. and because there are already scandals and that s lois lerner when she swore herself in and took the fifth. what s curious now is there have been some e-mails released by the house ways and means committee that show that lois lerner did not like conservative s, called them names. it looks pretty bad. we ve got an excerpt, this is from november 9, 2012, which the committee released. from an unknown person here says you should hear the whackoing of the gop, the u.s. is through too many foreigners, sucking the tea, time to hunker down, prepare for the end. right wing radio shows are scary to listen to. it went on from learner. great, maybe we are through if there are that many a-holes. a known respondent, i m talking about the host of the shows, the callers are rabid. even a-holes learner said. so we don t need to worry about alien terrorists. it s our own crazies that will take us down. that s curious. no wonder she didn t worry about taking down the nonprofits because she viewed them simply as run by terrorists. she s entitled to her political opinion like everybody else. off the clock. right. once she has a sensitive job in the irs, her job is to review applications from ostensibly political groups and decide whether or not they get a tax exemption and she has that animas against a class of those groups, she should get off the jobs. that s her work e-mail. correct. if a litigant came before me that i hated or couldn t stand or i had some interest in the outcome of the case, i have an affirmative obligation to get off the case. sure. she should have been given another job. her bosses should have been known about it. a political irs is represencible and tyrannical and the president did nothing about it. why not a special prosecutor now? will this be the moment where one is brought in? the one saving grace here is whatever she did, the statute of limitations is seven years, meaning whoever succeeds president obama will be in a position to have his or her attorney general prosecute mrs. learner and the others. judge, we also know, you also tried howard stern, right? did you excuse yourself or do you like howard stern? we became very good friends. after that. the case was assigned to me and was settled. what was the case? i can t say on air. he used some language on air that some person sued him for and we had to call 700 jurors in order to find six who have no opinion of mr. stern. he was a gentleman throughout. the case was settled. it s now history and we developed a unique friendship. okay. i just remembered. judge, thank you. thank you. coming up, he was one of the three marines killed in cold blood by one of our afghan allies. but that kid only got a slap on the wrist. that hero s dad is here and he says he s been betrayed. for years we heard liberals describe themselves as pro-choice, but planned parenthood has a plan to change that. you know what? it s just in time for the next election. it s a term as old as the issue itself. pro-choice, it means women have a choice over future. even if that means no future at all. but pro-abortion groups like planned parenthood want to rebrand the term pro choice with something a little more vague. going forward, they ll be pro-woman s health instead. pollster and fox news contributor frank luntz is here to help explain why. frank, thanks for being with us. you actually came up with the determine teth tax for the government s inheritance tax. you say call it like it is. but in this case, it seems to me and many others that abortion activists are doing quite the opposite and making it more vague. i understand why they re doing it. even the framing that you just did, which is pro-abortion, that this is an i want to set the context here. number one, it matters to people. pro-life, pro-choice, the issue of abortion, it does matter. but it is a lower priority when it comes to elections. when it comes to politics. about four out of five women will vote more on economic issues than they will on the issue of abortion. and second is that the american people think that politicians are trying to politicize something that they believe is intensely personal, intensely private, should be left up to the individual and the states to make a decision. so they don t like this back and forth between politicians. it s been a big issue in certain campaigns. colorado, for example, it s roughly one third of all the ads being run against the republican are on that issue of abortion and copttives the public says that s too much. take this issue out of politics. it is not partisan. it is not political. and let people decide for themselves what is the proper moral context. sure. according to a luntz poll here, talking to the man himself, when asked if it s more important that a politician agrees with you on economic issues or reproductive issues, 71% said i d rather agree on economic issues. so obviously that s more important here. but the focus, particularly when it comes to elections here and the women s vote and women s rights is in a way, do you believe, being misrepresented? to cloak a pro-abortion rights and funding in support for that as just women s health notions doesn t seem to be as detailed as it should be. doesn t represent a lot of women s thinking and rights in terms of where they stand on abortion. it s simply inaccurate. roughly 10% of the population, only 10% believe that abortion should be available to anyone at any time. about 90% are in in different degrees opposed to abortion. if you talk about it in terms of reproductive rights, that s misleading. if you talk about it in terms of women s health, that s misleading because that does not describe the issue. what planned parenthood is trying to do is it s trying to message it i can t blame them for doing it because as you referenced, i ve done it as well. but on this issue when it is a life and death issue, when it is a personal values issue, overwhelmingly the public in general and women in particular are saying get this out of partisan politics. get this out of this horrific divide that this country has right now and let people decide and let states decide. sure. just lumping it under women s health, no different than a tooth exam cleaning. regular old checkup. thank you. pleasure. up next, he was one of three marines killed in cold blood by one of our afghan allies. that killer only got a slap on the wrist. that hero s father is here and he says he has been betrayed. and then imagine driving down the highway and this comes flying at you. how this blade came inches from the passenger s face. oh, my. we now have some medical headlines for you on this thursday. ebola fears growing because two american peace corps workers may have been exposed to the virus. they are now in quarantine. dr. mark siegle says we shouldn t worry about it spreading here to the united states. the reason physicians and health care workers are getting it over there is they re not fully protected against the virus. they re not using the same infectious control precautions we do. i don t want any panic spreading here. good advice. now to that flesh eating bacteria being found in florida, health officials are now telling people don t eat raw oysters. the bacteria, which has already claimed one life, thrives in warm salt water and also make its way into your body if you ve got a cut or a scrape that is exposed to the water. be careful. brian, over to you. it was 2012, lance corporal greg buckley, junior, had just celebrated his 21st birthday in afghanistan. he was set to come home on a surprise visit to drink his first legal beer with his dad. but he never got that beer and he never got home. he was one of the three marines killed in cold blood by one of our afghan so-called allies. a police officer who he had recently joined for dinner. he went over there. he did what he was asked to do and the people he was training and helping over there, they turned on him. they turned on him and he told me weeks ago, dad, they re shady. i don t want to be here. wow. two years later his son s killer gets off with a slap on the wrist. he is charged as a minor. joining us right now, greg buckley, senior. unbelievable. we saw the raw emotion moments ago how you felt then. how does that compare to how you feel now, that he was tried in afghanistan as a minor and you didn t even know they told you in the aftermath. he gets 7 1/2 years! outrageous. outrageous our government would do this to my family and the other gold star families. right. you were told they were going to be handled. step back. afghan law will prosecute him. they claim to do do a bone scan, find out he s 17, so he gets 7 1/2 years. if your son shot one of those guy, he goes to leavenworth for life. exactly. so you wrote a letter to the marines and it says this you say this, you never came clean about their son s murder, was never serious about investigating the incident. you issued a calculated press statement about the verdict before notifying the families to get out in front of the story with this own self-serving account last friday afternoon to minimize the attention and prevent the family from responding publicly. they made do you this in the aftermath. you would have went over there. yes. i wanted to go over there. i was willing to pay my own way to go to afghanistan for the trial. but they never informed us when the trial was taking place until after the trial was over with. we should just know, you, your son and staff sergeant scott dickerson, corporal richard rivera were gunned down at a forward operating base while they worked out. what did this clown say after he did it? just went around screaming he just committed jihad. just committed jihad. yep. marines are known as the utter definition of loyalty and brotherhood. how do you feel they treated you and the families? disrespectful. they should have came to us. they should have told us what they were doing. my family has been after them every day asking for questions and they keep on stonewalling us every time we ask something. right. if you had a chance to be in an american courtroom and we have victim impact statements, what would be something you would have made clear at his trial had you been given the opportunity? just to be as clear that he was proud to be a marine. it s just heart wrenching that the government would treat us the way they are right now. we want him back here. we want to have him tried and have him convicted here. it s not seven years. seven years doesn t compare. you re talking two and a quarter years for each marine he murdered, executed really. and they keep on calling it murder. my son was shot five times. four in his chest and one in his neck. he had a pair of shorts on and a tank top working out in the gym. waiting to come home. he only had two days left and then he was going to be home. training that guy to protect his home so he went there to train them and his reward is to get shot and your family s reward is to not even be informed and essentially stew in your own juice. not our problem. the trial took place without us knowing anything about it and the day before he told us we ll notify you as soon as the trial starts. the trial started the following day. prosecuted him that day and that was it. they gave him seven years. he ll be out in four years cause he already served two. but i ll never have my son back again. where do you go from here? i don t know. just trying to find the right answers. just looking for help. just want somebody to help me out and help my family out. we will absolutely help you. we have your biggest military audience watching right now out there. we have a marine sitting in mexico for some reason. doesn t seem to be an urgency to get him out. trying to get him out. now we have this situation where no one cares about your son s legacy, nor his other officers who lost their lives that day. we ll keep pushing and if the marines are the people we know they are, they will step up and realize their mistake and reach out. that s what we re asking for. just to help out. thanks. steve, tell us what s next. thank you very much. meanwhile, coming up, a mother arrested for letting her 7-year-old son walk to the park by himself. she was arrested for that. now she s facing five years behind bars. is that fair? that mother sharing her side of the story coming up on fox & friends. then before he was on air, john stossel was a stutterer. he fixed it and says the method that he used can be applied to all of your problems. jñ?ñ?ñ?ñ?ñ? all right. it is now 27 minutes before the top of the hour. john stossel is going to be with us in just a moment. he s got a topic that is going to really something you haven t thought about. sharp experimenting. meanwhile, heather nauert is going to join us now with some other headlines. we have heard so many stories about children being left in hot cars. listen to what happened to one good samaritan. this good samaritan is now in a wheelchair after a run-in with a crazed mother. she and her boyfriend noticed a young boy left alone in a hot car in a colorado parking lot, so they called police. the right thing to do, of course. but listen to this. the boy s mother showed up fuming. 27-year-old christina attacked that couple before she got in her car and then ran them down. dominguez now has to use a wheelchair and may never be able to walk again, but she says it was all worth it. it scares the heck out of me that some innocent child might die. if it means helping a child, i would do it in a heartbeat. she certainly did. the mother faces several charges, including hit and run florida faces abuse. five years in prison for letting her 7-year-old son walk to the park alone. nicole gainey says it was in broad daylight and her son did have a cell phone on him when he made the ten minute walk from his house to the park. officers say that he wasn t safe because several sex offenders live in the nearby area. the mother joined us earlier on the show and she says the police hurt more than they helped. they had me in handcuffs and they told him after they took him out of the cop car to go straight to his room. and as he was walking into the home, he was like mommy, i m sorry i wanted to go to the park. he was absolutely upset and scared and thought this was his fault. there are no laws at the state level stopping children from walking to the park alone. do you pay your cell phone bill every single month without taking a really good look at all the charges on it? a senate committee says you must look closer because you might be the victim of cramming. those are unauthorized fees that are added to your bill from small companies like services with celebrity gossip and ring tones. your phone providers collect those fees and then keep part of that revenue and it adds up to hundreds of millions of dollars each year for them. take a very good look at your bill. talk about a close encounter, couple driving down a massachusetts highway when an ax flies out of a landscaping truck and smashes into their windshield. it stopped inches from this woman s face. it was right at eye level with this woman. so if this ax had penetrated through and hit her, she would have been injured or killed. police talking about that one. the driver of the truck says he accidentally forgot to secure the tool. he got a ticket for $200. those are your headlines. it was that close. thank you very much. john stossel says he and his family have ailments just like every other family. so how do they find solutions? take a look at this. we stossels have problem, back pain, stuttering. but like many, we get help through experiment and tedious treatment. which experiments work? we just have to try things. let us experiment. tonight s show, john stossel joins us now. you say you ve got problems. everybody has problems. which experiments are worth checking out? i can t judge for somebody else, but for my back pain, which i had for lots of years, i had to try lots of things and then this weird doctor says it s all in your head cures me and howard stern and imus and greg gutfeld filled. all the same way? all the same way. your back pain was in your head? i said how come everybody got back pain when ulcers got cured? he said psychological. he talked us through it. speaking of talk, you have chosen an unusual line of work to be in considering you were once upon a time a stutterer. i am a stutterer. stutterers. finally i found one called the hounds communication reconstruction institute which helped. right. not just you. a model tried the exact same treatment and it worked. take a look. one of the potential one of the potential difficulties just a few years later, she was a regular on a tv game show where she spoke flutely. this one guy invited me on this trip. it was supposed to be so romantic. then he brings along his mother. fire went to the same clinic i went to where they reteach us how to speak. it s really boring cause they slow us down much more slow than that. it works. three weeks i was motivated to practice. it s been successful. i still practice. that made you happy. unlike the time you took some drugs to be happy? well, on the show i try another experiment, oxy toesen, supposed to be the happiness hormone. we ll see if it worked. take a look at this. three, four, five, deep breath. what s going on here? he s experimenting on me, giving me a drug that s supposed to make me happy. you re going to feel more relaxed. scientists say you get a similar effect getting a hug. we ll try an experiment. your show is all about experiments. we show the hugs and the drugs. it s worth the experimenting and all the tries. and america is an experiment. george washington said, i don t think this democracy is likely to last 20 years. too many people don t take chance. when you take chance, you find something new. you can find you 9:00 p.m. tonight. fox business. thank you. today is the day when all of our summer interns bid us adieu and we do that with brian and bret. a quick message for bret and everybody else out there, if you see elmo, it s a different elmo on 42nd street. they smell and they want ten bucks for a hug. so keep that in mind. bret klein is one of our great interns. you re going to go finish up at villanova. you had a choice between weather and sports. maria molina and myself. and you have chosen?

there is a good way to get rid of those bill collectors good. a vote today to block the president from giving amnesty to illegals that have grown up in the united states. but is that enough to keep our border secure? congressman mike mccaul joins us live. welcome back. in just a few hours, the house set to vote on a border bill that will rein in the president s power to give illegal immigrants amnesty. does the bill go far enough to address the border crisis? joining us is the chairman of the house homeland security committee, congressman michael mccaull. good morning. good morning. tomorrow everyone set to take recess there. do you believe that this will actually get accomplished? everyone is going to leave with something signed, sealed and delivered? the house is going to do its job. this is a crisis that demands action and leadership. we will provide that today. in several ways, one a message of deterrence. we re going to change the 2008 trafficking law which basically says that if you come into the united states from central america, you ll be treated just like we treat the mexicans with a very swift removal from the united states back to your country of origin back home in a humane way. secondly, deploying the national guard. the governor of my state has already activated the national guard. but it s the federal government s responsibility under the constitution to pick up the tab for that. so we will be deploying the national guard all throughout the southwest border as a border security measure. i think those two things the 2008 tweak is important because that will stop the flow coming into the country. once we send them back, they will stop coming in. sure. 2012, the president has this dream act, if you got brought here by your parents as a young child, you can stay. you won t be deported. 2008, trafficking was misinterpreted. now the senate has their own version. it has 2.7 billion in it. yours has 650 million in it. you re going to do your thing and amend those laws. but we re wondering here as americans, what s going to get done? what is harry reid going to do with that? well, i hope for once in washington we can be responsible and lead in a time of crisis. and solve problems. that s what we re doing as house republicans on our side. the money is appropriate go toward detention and removal and repatriation back to their countries. no new money. it all comes out of the fema disaster relief fund. you mentioned the 2012 executive action that in my judgment circumvented the congress. we re going to rein that one in as well with the vote on the floor. rein that in so that this president can no longer do that. the surge really started in 2012 when this executive action was put into place. exactly. it was about two hours ago we had the governor of the great state of indiana, mike pence on this program. he was talking about how he discovered through the news that hundreds of these illegals were being dumped in his state. the government didn t tell him. it was the news media. here he is. listen to this. we have obligations, as you mentioned. it s about back to school time in indiana, but there is also potentially health, other welfare issues that we need to be prepared to deal with. i mean, it s completely unacceptable that we read about this in the newspaper. ferrying people around the country and not informing state governments and local officials about their placement or long-term placement with private individuals or with institutions is not the answer. why is it, chairman, the federal government isn t telling state governors who are going to be on the hook for school and welfare and food and stuff like that that they re sending these kids there? i think it s totally irresponsible. i ve had this conversation with the secretary of homeland security. why aren t you telling us where you re putting these children because the governors need to know. the county officials need to know. this will impact every member s district across the nation and i think to mike pence s point, under state laws, we are required to educate the children. in these cases, the children i ve seen, quite frankly, their native dialect is an indian dialect. it s not even spanish of the they would be put into a special ed type class. you re going to need translators. this is why we need to stop the flow. that s why our bill i think is the answer to stopping this crisis and stopping the flow of these kids coming into the united states. all right. it s going to pass in the house. let s see what happens in the senate. clock is ticking. thank you very much for joining us live from dc. thank you. thanks for having me. coming up straight ahead. tired of debt collectors calling your house in the middle of dinner? i am. if you refuse to answer the door tomorrow, i guarantee you i will wake up every neighbor in your entire [ bleep ] building! oh, boy. how to get rid of them for good, coming up next. first we re going to check in with bill hemmer for what s coming up at the top of the hour. we can t get rid of him. i m still around. stop calling steve. that wasn t martha mccallum. no, she s much too sweet for that. come on. breaking news on the war in the middle east. are we closer to a cease fire today? we ll talk to an israeli ambassador about that. what did the web site for obamacare cost? this number will blow you away. stuart varney on jobs, why that number goes higher a moment ago and how conservative groups look at these newly found lois lerner e-mails. you re about to find out. see you in ten minutes. according to a new study, more than 77 million americans have debts and unpaid bills that have been turned over to collection agencies. and where there are collection agencies, there are debt collectors making phone calls to your house, sometimes actually they re never friendly usually. i have to let you know i am call to go collect a debt. any information used. if you refuse to open the door tomorrow, i guarantee you i will wake up every neighbor in your entire [ bleep ] building. so those are some of the bad ones. how far can they go when it comes to tracking you down? here is peter johnson, jr. we re going to wake up every neighbor in your building! let s go to the question. here is the first question, peter johnson, jr. can a debt collector call my residence any time of the day or night? in their world, yes. in your world, no. it s against the law. only between 8:00 a.m. and 9 p.m send them a letter right away saying i don t want to pay this debt. i am disputing this debt. they can t call you thereafter. do it quickly. the next one, can they call me at work? answer is no. they can not call you at work. they can call you once in terms of determining whether that s your actual location and get information from them. again, write them, i do not allow calls at work. my employer does not allow calls at work. do not call my work. speaking of work, can they garnish my wages? very important issue. they can only garnish your wages after a hearing, after a judgment has been entered, after you appear in court or if you don t appear in court, they will absolutely garnish your wages. they will take wages and your employer will be directed by law to take it out of your weekly or biweekly paycheck. so be careful on that issue. finally, the collectors make it sound pretty scary. can you go to jail over a debt? you can not go to jail over a debt in the united states of america. you used to be able to go to jail for a debt. i m not talking about a family law debt. i m not talking about a support debt. i m talking about a consumer debt. so when they call you up and say, you can go to jail, you can be arrested, they re violating the law. they re subject to a lawsuit. they re subject to paying you if you win such a lawsuit. before you go, how we stop them from calling? tomorrow, first of all, a letter within 30 days. repeated letters, letters to your credit bureau saying i don t want to pay this debt because i don t owe this particular debt. obviously if you owe the debt, you got to pay it or over time. tomorrow we re going to talk about ways to fight back and get out of problems with debt collectors and get out of debt in a smart, legal way. all right. great advice. peter johnson, jr., thank you very much. we got one for the road coming up when we continue rolling on live from new york city. yesterday my daughter, sally, turned 21, and my wife and i took her to cavern on the green for her first dream. she says it was her first drink. she couldn t finish it. happy birthday, sally. the good morning, everybody, the war in the middle east going to new level. israel calling up reinforcement. 16,000 more troops and vowing to keep shelling gaza until the mission is complete. that mission to shut down hamas tunnels. i m bill hemmer, welcome to america s newsroom. patti ann. welcome back to you. great to be here. i m patti ann browne in for martha maccallum. israel storming homes in gaza trying to find those tunnels.

chaplain for? talk to the counselors. thanks to everyone who responded. fox & friends starts right now. bye. good morning. it s tuesday, may 13. i m elisabeth hasselbeck. the white house told him to lie. that s the claim in timothy geithner s new memoir but now the former treasury secretary doesn t believe his own book. we re going to dissect the web of lies straight ahead. and he was the iconic voice of the america s top 40, but this morning. casey kasem isç nowhere to be found. the frantic search for the ailing radio star intensifies on this tuesday. where is casey? and no love in this elevator. beyonce s sister kicking and throw hay makers at rapper jay-z. what caused her to flip out on the hip-hop mogul. i don t know, but i d like to. mornings are better with friends. watch this. hi. this is brookland decker and you are watching fox & friends. she went on from that voiceover to marry andy roddick and lived happily ever after. i wonder if theç connection from toba the audio guy who picks those is the video of beyonce s sister trying it deck her. deck him. we ve got to find out what happens. there is an explosive story caught on tape shows you there s cameras absolutely everywhere. we re on camera right now. good morning. let s talk about timothy geithner s book, the latest former obama acolyte says i m out, don t call me anymore because i m writing a book. he recalls that the white house wanted him to lie, mislead the public before he went on the that sound familiar? to discuss actually social security. so look at this. he s talking about dan pfeiffer s urging him to present the issue that it wasn t the reason for the deficit. he says, quote, i remember during one roosevelt room press session before i appeared on the sunday shows, i objected when dan pfeiffer wanted me to say social security didn t contribute to the deficit. it wasn t a main driver of our future deficits but it did contribute. pfeiffer says the law was a dog whistle to the left, a phrase i never heard before. he had to explain that phrase was code for the democratic base signaling that we intended to protect social security. oh man, this is big. a member of the administration admitting in their memoir that comes out today thatç the white house told them to go out and lie. as soon as this headline hit the fan, a close source to timothy geithner says timothy does not believe he was encouraged to go out and mislead the public. really? so you re not supposed to believe the things that he wrote in his book. and quoted. look, he wrote the book. he remembered it so well, he threw in the stuff about the dog whip. anyone who has written the book understands there are many rounds of edits. you look at that a few times before it hits the press. weç watched timothy geithner through the most harrowing times in modern economic history trying to explain himself, his moves and some of the things he had nothing to do with and some of his exact policies. you have to wonder, he s one guy you could always look at and i think to myself someone has him scared to death, even when we were over the crisis, he gives that demeanor of someone who is scary. he s not a politician. right but he always looked like something terrible is about to happen. when it was said i need you to show emotion, he was not comfortable. here is what he quoted in his book. she handed me the text and i skimmed the outrage i was expected to express. i m not very convincing as an angry populist. i m not doingç this i said. instead i sat uncomfortably next to the president while he expressed outrage. what was he talking about? expressing outrage that a lot of officers were getting bonuses in a time of crisis. he said america was furious about the overpaid bankers. stephanie cutter wanted us to show we were on the backside of the backlash but they had no legal authority to confiscate the bonuses paid during the boom. knowing the truth, yet pausing and saying i can t deliver this sort of upset. do you it, buddy. let us review what weç have learned today. tim geithner has written a book. what he has revealed is the white house told him to tell a lie when he went out on the sunday morning chat shows. that sounds exactly what we learned about two and a half weeks ago that susan rice was told to go out there and spread that lie. the administration knew it wasn t a there and say it was a video even though we knew it was an act of terror. charles krauthammer, a doctor, says this administration has a problem. they lie too much. this white house has an arm s length relationship with the truth. you could argue that all administrations do. but here you get the idea that it s less than arm s length. it is actually a clearly manipulative relationship¿ with the truth that it is to be used or abused or inverted in order to, quote, send a message, to send a dog signal. everybody knows that social security is in deficit. the treasury makes it up. and, therefore, it contributes to the deficit. geithner knows that, and, therefore, he wasn t prepared to say an outright lie, an obvious arithmetic lie. timothy geithner comes out and writes his book and now before the book is out 24 hours he is denying what s in it. we haven t gotten to theç point where glenn hubbard, a key romney economic advisor, told him he planned on raising taxes once he got into offices. he said of course i m going to raise taxes. glenn hubbard came back and says i never said that. again, these are quotes. he didn t say i talked to him and then he gave us a paraphrase. he s quoting himself exactly. americans deserve the truth. and ultimately we were promised transparency from the president. this is 2008. i have a track record of transparency. i ll make our government open and transparent. we ll do it in a transparent way. i want transparency. i want accountability. so that the american people can be involved in their own government. let me say it as simply as i can. transparency and the rule of law will be theç touchstones of this presidency. this is the most transparent administration in history. really? that s great to hear him say. unfortunately the facts don t seem to support that, mr. president. let s just take a look at a number of this administration s officials who have misled the public. we start with, of course, susan rice. she appeared on those sunday shows where she said that it was a video even though the administration knew that it was terrorism. hillary clinton as secretary of state referenced the video as the cause behind the benghazi attack. and we know that she spoke to the president at 10:00 that night. james clapper claimed there was noç program to collect information on american citizens; again something that we found out differently there. then the attorney general right here, we have this surveillance, the claim by the republicans. he said he knew nothing about it. the potential prosecution of the press. he didn t know. eric holder. then of course we have the president of the united states saying if you like your plan, you can keep your plan. then later said i probably shouldn t have said that. it s hard to know what s going on. instead of a dog whistle just say things. say i want to tell the democratic base we are not going to touch social security. you don t need a dog whistle. just say that is what we re going to do. experts say of all the entitlements social security is the easiest to fix. we don t fix anything. we don t take care of entitlements and we certainly don t take care of social security. perhaps theyç have a different definition of transparency. you look at all this stuff, i think to this administration the truth is not important. getting reelected was. however, going forward, if i was like bob schieffer or chris wallace and ran a sunday morning talk show, i think i would want to have a lie detector on everybody who sat on the show from this administration. you should be personally offended if someone lies to you? as americans, we expect the truth from our government; right? shocking. if someone told you they remember told to lie and denies they wrote in the book, i don t know where to start with that. that s why i m turning over to heatherç nauert. she tells the truth. good morning, guys. serious news out of west virginia. it happened overnight. we start with a fox news alert. right now rescue teams are searching for two trapped miners after an underground coal mine collapses in west virginia. it is not clear what caused that collapse but we know the last safety review in twitter of in 2013 of the boone county mines had reports concerning the miners safety and health. families are at the mine at this hour awaiting more information. another fox news alert. brand-new evidence of another scandal at yet another v.a. hospital. this time in durham, north carolina. two workers there were just placed on leave for improperly manipulatinh the scheduling data. that s what they re calling it right now. this comes amid troubling allegations that a v.a. hospital in phoenix where 40 veterans died while they remember waiting for similar treatments. another incident was reported last week in wyoming. this is not a game. this is life and death. this is dead real. and this is what we make a commitment to the people that defend us every day. there have been a lot of calls to the veterans administration secretary eric shinseki to step down but the white house continuing to stand by him. caught on camera, aç massive explosion blows the front off a house in new hampshire. this blast coming moments after a police officer was shot and killed while he responded to a domestic disturbance call at that house yesterday. police believe that the suspected gunman, 47-year-old michael nolan, may have been killed in that blast. nolan lived in that duplex with his father who was 86 years old. it is not known if he was home at that time. one other person was taken to the hospital with injuries. a bizarre story out of california. the radio legend casey kasem is missing say his children. a judge is ordering an investigation into his disappearance and now appointing the 82-year-old daughter as his temporaryö conservator. my dad was snapped out of the facility. this is a part of a long running court battle between his children and their step mother. they re fighting over access to their father who suffers from advanced parkinson s and can apparently no longer speak. it is believed he might be at an indian reservation in washington state. those are your headlines. you read the tabloids, that is a story you read about a lot, the family problems there. that was heather nauert. let me tell you what s coming up straight ahead withç us. a mom taking care of her disabled son being forced to unionize, but she s fighting back. up next, the supreme court decision that could change big labor as we know it. thousands of convicted criminals in this country illegally; now the obama administration is setting them free. why not?

the 30,000 foot view is this. we can be inclusive and forward-thinking and open minded without abandoning the core principles that got us here in the first place, and those core principles that built that football team are the same principles that built my family and built my business. and you ve had success all around. let s break it down as best we can and people get the book and find out more. what do you think of hard work? i think we have developed this entitlement mentality in a lot of different places and not just in the entitlement among those disadvantaged among us, but there s an entitlement among the wealthy, an entitlement among the affluent. this entitlement that these kids learn strips them ofç the dignity they get from a hard day s labor. if you don t have money, it s somebody s fault. if you have a lot of money, i don t need to do that? i think they re equally disturbing because of the lesson it teaches our kids and because it takes away the dignity you get from looking in the mirror at the end of the day and saying i earned that. we ve got to get back to teaching the importance of that dignity in our lives. take pride in what you do. search for civility. it s easy to have civility when you re up 20-0 or about to win a championship. when you reç down, how does that confer? how we treat those we opposed says more about us than even our own opinions do. we have to search for a civil attitude so that we can find commonality and come together. frankly, business, sports, society, family but that may be the best for the folks in d.c. you also that s absolutely true, the nation s capital. you say grace appears in a forgiving heart. what do you mean by that? i mean that so much of what keeps us back can be our own anger, our own desire to get back at someone that wronged us. there s difference in a pardon and forgiveness. everybody has to answer for what they ve done. but forgiveness is bestç for the forgiveer because you re allowed to get rid of all that angry feeling you have toward another person. we have to get back to being civil and being forgiving so we can move on and find commonality. because if you hold that grudge, you re wasting your time. you re wasting your energy. it s hurting you worse than the person you re not forgiving. we just scratched the surface of some of the wisdom that led you to a very lucrative career. thanks so much for coming in today. great to see you. thanks. good to see you. straight ahead on this show, no loveç in this elevator. what caused beyonce s sister to flip out on the hip-hop mogul?

no, i cannot. fine. thanks for coming by. let s talk about this. there is another nightmare at the i.r.s. a new report shows the aiming is i spent nearly $100 million on office furniture over the last five years. the i.r.s. is asking for even more of your money for its budget next year. stuart varney, what do you think about that and how is that possible they can be asking for more money by throwing it out on furniture. $100 million for office furniture since 2010 does sound a little obsessive. everybody s already got chairs. maybe taxpayers are a little hard on the furniture when they go to the eurps i.r.s. office but it is more thanç was spent on furniture during the entire eight years of the bush administration. this is another black eye for the i.r.s. this is an agency which gave $2.8 million in bonuses to people who have not paid their own taxes. this is the agency where lois lerner is in contempt of congress. this is an agency that wants another $1 billion to police obamacare. this is the agency which brought in an extra $132 billion, the latest seven months of this year, $1.2 become is what they want extra. theç lack of funding has made it difficult to provide the service taxpayers deserve, a quote. government is not efficient. government does not work efficiently. bureaucrats create bureaucracies which work very inefficiently and spend money. they have a voracious appetite for money and spend it on things like $100 million for office furniture. jack lew said they need $100 million to crack down on conservatives. he didn t say that. i m adding. right now the federal government hats seen so much money come in, they ve got more money than they know what to do with. actually they ll spend it. nobody is talking about that. in the lastç seven months the i.r.s. brought in an extra $132 billion compared to last year. the taxpayer clearly doing their part to get that deficit down. the i.r.s. spending it on stuff like $100 million worth of furniture. there is a link between the two. that is not responsible. certainly why in that harvard poll you saw young people saying they lost faith in government agencies. stuart varney we will be watching you at 11 a.m. probably more on this? i shall check on that. thanks for being with us. still ahead a texas gun dealer under fire for this sign, but he s got a messagehfor his critics and that s coming up next. our military considering the first chaplain who doesn t believe in religion or god. do we really need someone to represent atheists?

(announcer) tidy cats lightweight. all the strength, half the weight. we have got some quick tuesday morning headlines for you right now. caught on camera, a thief in california steals a veterans u.s. army flag from the front of his house. douglas dahl served net vietnam war and desert storm. he says he s hurt and wants the flag back. texas gun dualer under fire dealer under fire for this sign that says i like myç guns like obama likes his voters undocumented. he then said it was a joke. he put the sign up supporting the texas gun policy that does not require firearm registration. elisabeth, over to you. an atheist group is demanding an atheist chaplain in the military. they claim as more atheists ep list they enlist they need somewhere to go for support. is the d.o.d. being politically correct? fox news judicial analyst judge andrew napolitano on that. this isn t the first time this has come down. i think it qç 3.6% of those in the military identify themselves as being atheist. how will this play out? i m not surprised that people are asking for this, but it is surprising that the mr. dodd: is that the department of defense is considering this. they have more things to do than to figure out how to provide a chaplain for an atheist. a chaplain is provided for major and minor religions for people who believe in god and who need religious services because their heart and morality tells them so or the religion to which they belong requires it. atheism isç not a religion. it doesn t fit within any of the definitions for federal statutes or for circumstances under which the federal government has to provide this. this is political correctness gone crazy. this is about the 14th amendment then. how does that play in? the atheist group argued a clause in the amendment called the equal protection clause which says the government has to treat similar people in a similar way somehow forces the defense department to provide chaplains for atheists. the 14th amendment regulates states, not the federal government. and the part of the constitution that talks about rights the federal government has to recognize has exceptions in there for the military. understanding, as the framers did, that when you join the military, youç give up certain rights. we ve seen those reins loosened. is this a trend? we ve seen the reins loosened. there are circumstances under which you can have beards. there are circumstances under which you can have long hair. there are circumstances under which you can have tattoos. but the concept of a chaplain for an atheist, if someone needs counsels, it s there. if someone needs a support group, it s there. i don t know what this chaplain would preach since atheists don t believe in god. is this an attempt to remove a chaplain of a religious group that is larger? i think it isç an attempt to make the military seem more soft and cushy. i think in ten years we ll be laughing at this. right now it is just under 4% of those that identify as such. if that grows indeed, will they be forced in a way to have a chaplain? no. the congress would have to change the laws in order for the atheists in the military to force the military to provide them with chaplains. this meeting today is not going to put forth this meeting today is really an effort by the brass of the military, the civilian brass of the military, secretary hagel and his people, to keep the lid on complaints. i don t think theç complaints are loud and i don t think they re going to come long and i don t even think they re serious but i think he wants to nip them in the bud by talking to these people. it doesn t hurt to talk but it would be absurd to have the federal government spend money to have people preach about atheism. interesting perspective. coming up, meet the mayor, brian says. who says this? take your godless ceremony elsewhere. forget everything you ve heard about fatty foods.ç they re actually good for you. the delicious details going to change your life forever coming your way. and the award goes to ceramics house. congratulations. thank you. the success of your small business depends on results. go vests! all organic, and there s tons of info on our website. that s why you rely on the best for your business. and verizon delivers the best devices on the best network. you re all big toes to me. so go ahead, stream and download with confidence on america s largest, most reliable 4glte network. activate any 4glte smartphone and get $100 off. for best results, use verizon. what is this place? where are we? this is where we bring together reliably fast internet and the best in entertainment. we call it the x1 entertainment operating system. it looks like the future! we must have encountered a temporal vortex. further analytics are necessary. beam us up. that s my phone. hey. [ female announcer ] the x1 entertainment operating system. only from xfinity. tv and internet together like never before. forget everything you heard about fatty foods. can butter, cheese and heavy meats actually be good for you? our next guest says yes and that s why she s here. that s right. she spent near low decades studying the positive effects of fatty foods and details it in the big fat surprise. she joins us now with such great news. so please explain, this is great. we have some comparisons here. why is that good for you? we keep hearing it s not. we ve been living for 50 years with the low fat diet and the problem is that when you reduce fat, you increase carbohydrates. we eat 25% more than we did in the early 1970s. your body needs fat to be healthy. and the main thing we ve been told is that saturated fats are bad for you, that saturated fats and meat and butter and cheese are bad for you. but that all goes back to one scientist in the 1950s who thought fats caused heart disease one scientist? it was one scientist. in the face of the nation s fear of heart disease, he came up with the idea that it was saturated fats that caused heart disease. he got that idea implanted into the american heart association and the rest is history. let s fast forward to today. as people think about what they should eat, should they have the bagel or bacon and eggs? according to the conventional wisdom, you don t want all the cholesterol and fat in the eggs and bacon. right. so this idea became so ingrained that we just feel like it s common sense. how could that possibly be good for you? and the reality is that that contains saturated fat, yes. but the evidence against saturated fat has really dissipated, disappeared, and it is no longer so we choose the egg? you choose the egg. and the bacon? over the bagel? over the bagel, which is empty carbohydrates. brian will kick the bagel out. here you go. you can give it away. what about at lunchtime? if you had the choice between a green salad or egg salad, conventional wisdom says go with the green salad. but you should go with the egg salad even though it s high in cholesterol, the cholesterol in egg does not translate into cholesterol in your blood. that has been known since the 1970s. so it s good for you without the bad effects that everybody thinks it has? it s good for you. eggs also contain a loft nutrients lot of nutrients. so eggs are really nutrient dense and really good food. a lot of people eat the egg white. all the nutrients are in the yoke. they re missing it. the questions are getting hard. carrots, pita versus heavy meats and cheese. this is the most counter enduretive. everyone would choose hummus. bread is high in carbs and carrots and pita. carbohydrates in your blood become glucose, which triggers insulin, which is the king of all hormones in storing fat. zero in that up with. will and also a lot of nutrients. right. down here at this end we ve got butter and steak and sausage spatties versus the low fat yogurt. you say steak wins by a mile. steak and butter. steak is really rich in nutrients. it has good fats, the same is true of butter. what happens with low fat products is when you take the fat out, you have to put something in to replace all the texture they put sugar in. they re putting carbohydratessed based, almost always sugars. a serving of this is like having a snicker s bar worth of sugar. wow. is there a limit to the amount of fats? i m thinking what are the guideline when is having this type of fatty food? leave the butter. take the yogurt. is there a limit in a day? could you have all of this? you could have all of this in a day. the best, most rigorous scientific trials over the last decade show that a higher fat diet is healthier than a low fat diet in terms of your diabetes, heart disease, and obesity, hands down. definitively that s been shown. should you be worried about cholesterol if you re not doing the low fat and suddenly you re eat ago lot of cholesterol? again, the cholesterol in food does not translate into cholesterol in your bloodstream. i like that. good news for everybody out there. so fatten up, america. we showed you how. we re getting a bunch of thank you tweets and e-mails. that s the good news. it s just that you don t have to feel guilty about eating those foods. thank you very much. real pleasure. thank you. coming up straight ahead. another day and another veteran affairs hospital called out for delaying health care to our nation s heros. where is the president on this one? didn t he promise to fix that problem? then just call this a royal hoax. who is this guy? we had a bunch of different dairies. one was an actor. one was an athlete and the other one was prince harry. look at that. the single ladies all vying for prince harry s heart. but that s not really prince harry. who is he? that s straight ahead. we re feeding him a steak o clock. first timothy geithner s book and now this. et.splashing. better things than the joint pain and swelling of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. if you re trying to manage your ra, now may be the time to ask about xeljanz xeljanz (tofacitinib) is a small pill, not an injection or infusion, for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well. xeljanz is an ra medicine that can enter cells and disrupt jak pathways, thought to play a role in the inflammation that comes with ra. xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections andancers have happened in patients taking xeljanz. don t start xeljanz if youe any kind of infection, unless ok with your doctor. tears in the stomach or intestines, low blood cell counts and higher liver tests and cholestel levels have happened. your doctor hould perform blood tests before you start and while taking xeljanz, and routinely check certain liver tests. tell your doctor if you have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common, and if you have had tb, hepatitis b or c, or are prone to infections. tell your doctor about all the medicines y take, and if you are pregnant, or plan to be. taken twice daily, xeljanz can reduce the joint pain and swelling of moderate to severe ra, even without methotrexate. ask if xeljanz is right for you. of moderate to severe ra, even without methotrexate. we cannot let the fans down. don t worry! the united states postal service will get it there on time with priority mail flat rate shipping. our priority has always been saving the day. because our priority. amazing! .is you! the amazing spider-man 2 delivered by the united states postal service. he gets a ready for you alert the second his room is ready. when sales rep steve hatfield books at laquinta.com, so he knows exactly when he can prep for his presentation. and when steve is perfectly prepped, ya know what he brings?

who is this guy? we had a bunch of different theories. one was an actor, one was an athlete. and the obvious one was that he s prince harry. it s a new dating show and that guy looks like prince harry. but it s not him. these single ladies are in for a royal surprise. oh, boy. that s going to be great because tuesday mornings, always better with friends. this is darius runninger and you re watching fox & friends. elisabeth, when you were playing football, darius rucker co-hosted the show. you remember that? i do remember. he wanted us to join the blowfish and go on the road with him and i said no, we re going to stay here. it was a good move for us to stick around. i think so. he also was a welcome voice on my first day. i love that. he welcomed you to the show. yes. listen, today as we welcome you to the 7:00 o clock eastern time hour of the fox & friends program, we got troubling news to tell you. it sounds like the white house, every chance they get, if they need to, they lie to us. that guy right there, former secretary of the treasurer, tim geithner. says in a new memoir that comes out today that he essentially was told by the white house to go out there on tv on the sunday chat shows sounds familiar and lie. here is a quote, it says i remember one prep session before i appeared on the sunday shows. i objected when dan pheiffer, communications director, wanted me to say social security didn t contribute to the deficit. it wasn t a main driver of our future deficits. but it did contribute. pheiffer said the line was a dog whistle to the left. phrase i had never heard before. he had to explain what the phrase was. it was code to the democratic base signaling that we intended to protect social security. so there you got dan pheiffer saying okay, tim, go out there and lie on tv. right. a source close to geithner actually said he doesn t believe that he was encouraged to go out and mislead the public, even though he s writing about it in this book on multiple occasions. going to 2009 that he indicates that stephanie cutter, a democratic strategist and in charge of communications messaging, he tells a story there of how she handed me the text and i skimmed the outrage i was supposed to express. i m not very convincing as an angry populous and i thought it would look ridiculous. i m not doing this, i said, and i sat uncomfortably next to the president while he expressed the outrage. there he s referring to americans being furious over the fact that bailouts were that was the president doing the fake outrage. the president said how outraged he was when ce oh,s were getting bonuses after the bailout. everybody is it s unbelievable, he wrote the book and is walking back the quotes in the book that one time he accused mitt romney of saying we re going to raise taxes if elected and he said i never said that. the book has been out a day and everything that s interesting in it, he denies is in it, even though he wrote it. how unbelievable is that? steven hayes weighed in. every administration from every political party engages in spin, but the entire point of spin to a certain extent is to avoid saying something that is outright false. but we ve seen the administration say this, whether it s you can keep your plan, when the white house had studies show people wouldn t be able to keep your plan, whether it was the benghazi talking points saying the white house didn t have any substantive rule, or the obama administration political team didn t have any sub santel role. we know those things were not true and if geithner is right in the way he recall this is in his book, this would be add to do that list. absolutely. when tim geithner writes, i believe that he remembers it that way, the fact that a source close to geithner now is spinning it and they re trying to parce the words, it reminds me of, well, that depends on what your definition of is is. i m surprised that jay carney yesterday, came out and said we didn t tell him to lie. i m surprised he didn t say dude, that s so six years ago. you remember everything because there is quotes around it. what difference does it make anyway? this is not the first book that s come out indicating there is a lack of transparency in this administration. bob gates book indicated the same thing with i believe wording when it came to an opaque administration, their control over messaging. he said in all the administrations he worked in, prior to nixon, he says it s the most controlled centralized messaging that he s administration he s ever been a part of. the editor of the new york times says the same thing. so when we see the geithner information on top of the ben rhodes e-mail that they tried to get susan rice and she willingly went along and lied on sunday chat shows, it s disappointing. meanwhile, are they lying about what s going on at the v.a.? there is more trouble at the v.a., disarray at the v.a. two employees in durham, north carolina, have been placed on administrative leave because apparently they, too, falsified records between the years of 2009 and 2012. they re now audited. phantom appointments that didn t exist, possibly for the same thing, to get incentives, to act as if they re efficient when they re not and the actual veterans are paying the price by not getting care. and trying to look good at the front office here, they re making them wait months and months, possibly leading to the deaths of many. anything over 14 days is required to be put in writing. we re seeing all these falsified records there. when you see jay carney, though, really indicating that the president still has such confidence in general shinseki, who is at the head of the ship here, it makes everyone sort of raise a brow. the president remains confident that secretary shinseki is focused on this matter and he s confident in secretary shinseki s ability to lead the department and take appropriate action based on the findings. okay. so we re going to have to wait til the i.g. comes out. it s a mess right now. we know that. they had two sets of books and it was just to make them all look good. i was looking in the arizona republic newspaper this morning. there is an item that says that in phoenix, i want to say he s 87 years old. 87-year-old vet who is alive to this day, he was waiting for the v.a. to call him back for his hospital appointment, so he called 911. the only reason he s alive is because the locals came and picked him up. the republican congressman from the great state of illinois, he s in the national guard. he was an iraq war vet. he is horrified by the way that the v.a. is treating our american heros. this is not a game. this is life and death. this is dead real and this is what we make a commitment to the people that defend us every day. look, not only do people need to be suspended, not only do they need to be fired, we need to talk about who needs to end up in jail over this. that s real outrage there. that should be coming from the white house, should be coming from jay carney when our veteran s who risk their lives come back, only to die in some secret waiting list. no faux rage from convincinger there. we hope to see real solutions moving forward. we need whistle blowers to come forward and talk about what s really going on or else everyone seems to be covering their butts and hope their name doesn t get called. meanwhile, heather nauert, tell us what else is happening. good morning. big news out of west virginia. a lot of folks want to hear about it. fox news alert, right now there are rescue teams searching for at least two trapped miners after an underground coal mine collapses in boon county, west virginia. at this hour, families gathered at the gate of the mining complex as they await information on the miners who work at the brody mine. it s not clear what caused the collapse just yet. the last safety review which took place in 2013 discovered about 250 violations concerning miners health and safety. this happening overnight about 10:30 p.m. eastern time. we ll keep you posted as we get new information in this morning. in the meantime, a rutgers university quarterback arrested and now facing up to 20 years in jail in connection to a brutal bar fight in minnesota. philip nelson has been charged with first degree assault for beaing a 20 yearly in critical condition. surveillance video shows kolstad hitting the quarterback in the back on certified. no word on saturday night. no word on what prommed that. his voice heard on the air for decades. thank you and hello again, everybody. welcome to america s top ten. this morning, casey kasem s children say he s missing. a judge ordering an investigation into the radio legend s disappearance. he also appointed the 82-year-old s daughter as his temporary conservator. jean kasem moved my father to hide him from his family and friends. she referred to jean. that is the stepmother. there is a long-running court battle between his children and their stepmom. they re now fighting for access to their father who suffers from advanced parkinson s disease and can no longer speak. the children believe he may be at an indian reservation in washington state. this story is for us. you ever get tired of all the rants and tweets on twitter? there is a new feature that may fix that problem. there is a nitwitter mute button and allows users to silence their friends and others without unfollowing them. the people you know won t know they re silenced. their tweets will vanish from your time line. you can unmute them at any time. those are your headlines. a great feature to have. especially if you do a morning show and people out there in tv land write something appropriate or inappropriate. inappropriate, you can get rid of. yeah. tweet us now if you think you deserve to be muted. did you just mute me?

citizenship shoney becoming a battle ground over religious freedom. the democratic mayor of new jersey pulling the plug on the federal naturalization function when the government told the city they couldn t allow an opening prayer at the event, even though it s been a town tradition since it was founded. that s right. the mayor joining us this morning. so this is actually a strong stand that you took here when you were asked six months ago. what happened? about six months ago, the federal government, immigration naturalization services asked if we would host a swearing in ceremony and we were thrilled. this is a densely populated community, but a melting pot. we have a lot of new immigrants, always have. we thought it would be a nice opportunity to really host this swearing in and highlight the diversity in the town. sure. and things were going along great until? things were going fantastic. we had exchanged the agenda and the program. all of a sudden this past tuesday, we get a call and e-mail from immigration. they said you have to remove prayer and the moment of silence from the agenda. they said it cannot be part of any federal program. did you think we were joking? yeah, there was some communication back and forth. i said this doesn t make sense, especially in light of the recent supreme court ruling. we shot back, no, it s going to be part of it. they said it cannot be on the agenda and part of the program. i said take your ceremony somewhere else. and they did? and they did. carteret is a very diverse community. lots of brick and mortar religions. we ve always respected one another and respected everyone s faith. and in the town square, you got a christmas tree. we do. there is a public menorah. we do a menorah lighting in front of city hall and a christmas tree lighting at our main park. you open ceremonies with a prayer. we certainly do. from our veterans day services, memorial day services, any public event, even our council meetings open up with a moment of silent prayer. so this is important to you. it s important to carteret. why? it s certainly important to our community because it s faith based community. it s infringement upon our first amendment rights to have a prayer. did you have any interaction with the immigrants, new immigrants? we did not. i m told from the feds there would have been a few from carteret. what was the general reaction? the reaction from the feds was that they would simply move the meeting if we wouldn t allow it to be hosted. the residents overwhelmingly support the idea of letting them go somewhere else. this is a god fearing community. so they moved it to the federal building in newark, 20 miles or so away. wasn t int. it s clear what they missed. they didn t start with the prayer as you would have liked. why do you think they do this? we raised that and they took the position that even in light of the supreme court decision, that it doesn t apply to federal agencies. they said they don t want to offend anybody. i don t understand. if you didn t want to participate in the prayer, you can sit there quietly or stand quietly. i don t get that. the house of representatives opens with a chaplain reading a prayer. ironically, the oath that they take to become a citizen acknowledges god and they recite the pledge of allegiance. what about critics who say you lost out on an opportunity here? what do you say? that s find. we re happy to have them go somewhere else. thanks so much for joining us. thank you. good for you. 18 minutes after the hour. up next on this show, a marine back from afghanistan for two weeks to escort his little sister to the prom. the school says no way. we ll tell you why. what?

captain: all the time. except when i sleep. which i would not do here. hotels.com would have mentioned the finger. nobody ever stomped their foot and asked for less. because what we all really want. .is more. there s a reason it s called an all you can eat buffet. and not a have just a little buffet . that s the idea behind the more everything plan. it s more of everything you want. for less. and now get 100 dollars off any smartphone. like the htc one m8. get more with our best plans on the best network. for best results, use verizon. time for news by the numbers. first, $58 billion. that s how much democratic governors have increased taxes since 2011. 58 billion. republican governors have signed over $36 billion worth of tax cuts during the same time. next, zero. that s the number of years that will be added to your life by eating chocolate and drinking wine. researchers failed to find any evidence that there was an ingredient found in the skin of red grapes and in chocolate is linked to a longer life. and finally, $35 million. that s how much you re going to need to buy the house made famous by al pacino in the movie scar face . 10,000 square foot mansion sits on ten acres in california. not in florida as was where scar face lived. you could call it a royal hoax. oh, my god. is that who i think it is? we re thinking, who is this guy? we had a bunch of theories. one was an actor. up with was an athlete. and the obvious one was that he s prince harry. well, obviously it s fox use they reality show i want to marry harry . the prince is just a look alike. how do we know?

they were brought over and they were told it was anglin bachelor. we have the meeting where your face was revealed, but they never said, ladies and gentlemen, here is prince harry. they just said this. we ll have to save that for another time. we ll find out more later. hopefully if you stick around for a while. so in the beginning, you were wearing the mask and then you revealed your face. you never came out and said, i m prince harry. the producers never said i m prince harry. the girls kind of put it together, right? yeah. they were left to come to their own assumptions. you never own up to it? i never confirm who i am. sure. at the end of this, what does the girl get? you? there you go. fake harry, every week another girl is knocked out of the cast, right? yes. at the end, it s you and this and the final lady. and then is there aside from you, is there cash? i believe there was a prize at the end for the lady. normally a relationship built on a stack of lies would would not be off on the right foot. hi, i m choosing you, now let me tell you who i really am. yeah. and let s go from there. start with an i m sorry. got to be really sorry. is there somebody in there for you that you saw already?

first of all, it s a great honor to be inducted into this and especially the inaugural one. we got to meet each other last night, very inspirational. it s great to be recognized for doing something that helps other people. i m fortunate, i cook and i have food and i have access to food and trucks and things like that. so to be able to help out in hurricane sandy, which is where i grew up, was a natural. i think helping i get a lot a joy out of being able to help as i do feeding someone in a fine dining restaurant. i think helping people that can t necessarily get food on their own table is a real pleasure for me. it certainly did help a lot of people. i love the idea that this is about inspiring others through what you do in your community and really working to help others. i know your foundation has worked to help those overcome adversity. you have overcome adversity. you ve helped during times of adversity and people can nominate, correct, through father s day. is that right?

all right. same drug, same company, now a different dying boy being denied the compassionate use that could save his life. fox news legal analyst peter johnson, jr. has this story. i think all americans need to hear this this morning. 21 month old boy with leukemia at john hopkins center is the latest child begging for a life saving drug from the same company which refused to provide it in the past. you may remember the drug company from the case of josh hearty covered here on fox which repeatedly refused to provide that dying boy with a drug and that s been shown to treat the virus which can be deadly. the company received $70 million in federal money to develop the drug. they finally relented and gave josh the drug under a new pilot program. josh is out of the hospital today and his mother says he s growing stronger every day. the company s stock rose after the controversy, and said a compassionate use company to help people who can benefit from the drug was too expensive. now they initially refused to provide again compassionate use or a spot in the national trial to baby judson of lockwood, new york, who is suffering from the virus and is currently on a ventilator at johns hopkins. tammy shepherd s grandmother spoke to me from the icu last night and told me the baby has been battling leukemia since he was six months old. he said he s touch and go. this drug is his only hope and said a team of doctors and nurses were rushing to his bedside as we spoke. judson s family originally told he could not receive treatment at johns hopkins because it was not part of the trial. now after our calls to the company, they may be changing their mind. about an hour ago, i just received this statement from the company. there are currently ten clinical sites partnering in the trial across the u.s. all of which have agreed to accept pediatric and adult patients transferred to these locations. from our ongoing communications with this young patient s physicians and administrators at johns hopkins over the last several days, we believe he may be eligible to participate in the trial. we submitted an additional list of questions last night which the company has so far refused to answer. that s quite a story. so for folks watching, we had this other case, josh hardy, a while back and you helped him get the drugs that saved his life through that company. same company and same drug. and the same circumstances. compassionate use. so now suddenly after you called, they go, oh, maybe we could it seems to me that there ought to be a better system other than the threat of dragging a company on to television to these people the drugs they need. i think that s why we re talk being it. this is an inherently unfair process. one at the drug company level. two at the f.d.a. people should not be having to call me at 8:00 o clock at night to say, my grandson is dying and this drug company will not act. and they ve done this same routine in the very, very past. there is an inherent instability, a confusion, a lack of reliability in terms of getting the drugs that we need. this one particular company, they decided, we don t want to spend money on a compassionate use program. and after days of discussion here on fox and on social media, they said oh, we re going to set up a pilot program. but they would not let this boy and they still have not let this boy, judson, from lockwood, new york, 21 months old, dying of leukemia and this virus into this program. they say we may let him into this program after we called last night. people should not have to be put to those kind of steps to call up legal correspondents on television to get their children the medications that are available and should be available under compassionate use. it s crazy that they would this boy is adorable. he is. it s crazy that the company would say, we don t have the money for those programs. they have $70 million worth of federal dollars, right? they got $70 million. do they have a corporate obligation? no. do they have a moral obligation as an american company? yes. if you re interested in this issue, you can go to www.foxandfriends.com, the family asked we put up a petition asking the company to provide the life saving drug for this little boy, judson. this is an incredible story. we re going to talk more about the f.d.a. and companies like this and how and why you should get the drugs that you and your family need. i m glad you brought this to our attention. peter johnson, jr., america s lawyer. thank you. straight ahead, are you a recent college graduate or about to get your degree?

judge andrew napolitano weighed in earlier today. atheism is not a religion. it doesn t sit within any of the definitions of federal statutes of circumstances under which the federal government has to provide this. this is political correctness gone crazy. the military association of atheists, there is such a group is meeting with the defense department to talk about appointing a president for that position. and those are your headlines. one story we re following is that west virginia mine collapse, we ll keep you posted as we learn more. thanks for doing the work on the phone. meanwhile, your e-mail and tweets have been pouring in. this is what you have to say about that atheist chaplain. timothy writes chaplains in the military are officers and required to possess a theology. what degree would an atheist chaplain be required to have? bill says any member of the military can meet with any chaplain at pretty much any time. the judge is right. this is more time wasting insanity. go back to your seat and don t say a hail mary. and wr jones tweet, what s next? a car dealer who sells bus tickets? thanks for all of your responses. we appreciate it. laura ingraham joins us. you will not have to weigh in on the atheist story. unless you will to. guys, look, it doesn t surprise me at all. christians, faithful christians found themselves in the crosshairs in our military, in our culture. we saw what transpired last night at harvard. at the last minute, of course, power to the faithful, the thing was moved. the heretical was moved off campus. that s the last group that you can attack, demean, denigrate, discriminate against with impunity. i think christians and people of faith are starting to stand up and say no, you won t. we have rights, too. i m glad about that. friends of mine were at the protest last night at harvard. they were sending me photos of the mass that took place in protest to venerate the host and communion. it was 2,000 people. so i think it has a boomerang effect. the faithful come out and say, no, we will stand up for our religious rights. i think people across the country, whether you re jewish or christian or even muslim, you want to stand up for your religious rights, do so. we still have a country that s supposed to respect religious freedom and we need to all remember that and stand up for our rights. amen to that. so listen, laura ingraham, when you write your biography, make sure when you do your book tour you deny most of the quotes in it. that s the kind of stuff that treasury secretary is off to. listen to what he s quoted as saying in his own book. it is authorize the biography. he says, i remember during one prep session before i appeared on the sunday shows, i objected when dan pheiffer wanted me to say social security did not contribute to the deficit, it wasn t a main driver of our future deficit, but it did contribute. pheiffer said the line was a dog whistle to the left, a phrase i had never heard before. he had to explain to me what it hadn t, signaling that we intended to protect social security. a couple of things there, guys. number one, we now know that the left considers its base a bunch of unruly canines, dog whistle blower. they look down at their base, number one. in these biographies, do you recognize a trend here? the author, or the subject of the biography always comes off in the best possible light. tim geithner, well, i objected to this and i thought this was bad. well, if this was actually going on in the white house, i don t deny it was, i think it probably was given what else they said about obamacare and the recovery and so forth. but didn t tim geithner as a public servant have a duty to actually resign at that point or go to the american people and say, you know something? i m being asked to say things that are actually untrue and i m not going to do it because i actually believe in ultimate truths and the truth is social security is a driver of our debt and we re in real trouble when it comes to funding social security. but instead what he does is he stays in office, stays in the cabinet. then he allows this book to be written and he comes out with this book and we re supposed to say oh, tim guy geithner, you re really a stand up guy. i think these people whose salaries we pay have a duty to the people, not to dan pheiffer or the president of the united states. their duty is to the taxpayers who pay their salaries and tim geithner on this issue should have actually come forward and said something at the time. sure. you know what? by that statement, susan rice, who was told just exactly the same way. she was told go out there and say it was the video. he was told go out there and lie on tv. they were both told to lie on tv. by that measure, susan rice should say, laura ingraham has got a good point. would you do it? if someone said to me, i want you to go out there this isn t really true, but we want to tamp down this benghazi deal. yeah, it s going to look bad for us and our base. they re going to get pavlovian on us. i would say you better find someone else to do this dirty work. we have a conscience, right? right. you have to have a conscience to be able to do that. right. this is why americans in both parties have ultimate cynicism when it comes to washington. they don t believe republicans. they don t believe democrats. there are so few people who seem to have honor in our government, on capitol hill, and in the executive branch that it s a rarity when we have someone say i m not going to do this. i don t agree with everything they re saying, but they re actually telling me to say something that is untrue and i can t do that. i think i would stand up and applaud if any individual did that today. while we have you fired up, i want to ask you about immigration and customs enforcement releasing 36,000 convicted criminals awaiting deportation convictions, drunk driving, be a straighted sexual assault, homicide here, your thoughts? the president is set to announce a policy that will relax deportation and clarify deportation rules in the united states. we have people who committed dui and then went on to rape children. you have to google it and you ll see all these examples of why illegal immigration is not a, quote, victimless crime. we hear about the dreamers. dreamers are all valedictorians, okay, fine. what about the people who are 27-year-olds raping three-year-olds after being convicted of a dui? i think republicans and democrats should stand up for the people of this country who are often victims of these crimes. it shows what a great risk it is for the president to do this because if that does happen, we hope it doesn t, you know exactly where all fingers will point. you ll talk about that on your radio show in about 50 minutes from right now all across the country. thank you very much. thanks, guys. coming up, another day, another veteran affairs hospital called out for delaying health care to our nation s heros. where exactly is the president on this? didn t he promise to fix that problem? then if you oppose common core, you re probably a far right extremist trying to destroy public schools. huh? that s what was said by one group. indiana governor mike pence just got rid of the curriculum and joins us live to weigh in. answer the governor, who is your governor. i like that. help keep teeth clean and breath fresh with beneful healthy smile snacks. with soft meaty centers and teeth cleaning texture,it s dental that tastes so good. beneful healthy smile food and snacks. this and this. whip up this. munch on that. and dine out on this. that s 7 days a week. no tracking. no counting. no measuring. and you ll start losing weight right away with our 2 week simple start plan. so jumpstart your summer and join for free. try meetings, do it online or both. weight watchers. because it works. try meetings, do it online or both. tigers, both of you. tigers?

it s just unfortunate. the reality is throughout my public career, like i think most americans, i ve always believed that education is a state and local function and the federal department of education was created by president jimmy carter. while 45 states just a few years back adopted the national standards known as the common core, we ve got millions of americans that have been rising up and being heard, including in indiana and saying look, we want to right our standards and write our curriculum and choose our textbooks in our own state. i m proud of the fact that indiana was the first state in the union to legally withdraw from common core and go through the process of writing our own standards. what is it about common core you don t like? well, at the core of it, if you will, is my objection to the notion that the standards that are written for hoosier kids and hoosier schools were crafted somewhere other than indiana. look, part of the genius of the american experiment is that the states throughout our nation s history have been laboratories of innovation and been able to style policies like we have in indiana that deal with the unique populations and unique challenges. there are some things obviously, kids in first grade need to know certain levels of math and we have a gateway exam for kids to be able to learn to read before they can go on. so there are some things that are, in fact, a minimum standard. but i wanted standards in indiana to be written by hoosiers for hoosiers and to be uncommonly high and we went through the process and accomplished that on our own. good for you. you re the first state to do it. as governor, i want to get your reaction to this, since 2011, governors of states who are democrats have enacted over $58 billion worth of tax increases. meanwhile, as you can see screen right, $36 billion of cuts to taxes by republicans. i think we ve heard that before. it sounds like one party wants to raise your taxes and the other party wants to lower them. it explains why in 29 states led by republican governors, you re seeing the kind of growth that we re seeing. i m proud that indiana has the lowest unemployment rate in the midwest. we ve been able to pass balanced budgets, have strong reserves, invest increased funding in roads and schools and education innovation. but since i was elected governor, we ve also passed some $650 million in annual tax relief. and all of that creates an environment where we re seeing real growth in indiana. we got one of the fastest growing labor forces in the country, unemployment is on the downward trend and more hoosiers are going back to work. i think the american people can see a real contrast here between republican-led states and states led by democrat governors that are more inclined than ever it seems to raise taxes and grow government. that s one of the reasons you re in new york city. you re talking to different businesses with relocating to your state, which would be great for your state. when i m in new york, we love to tell new yorkers, if you can make it here, you can make a lot more in indiana. i like that. that s catchy. what about your future? i know you were elected governor in 2013? 2012. took office in 2013. that s exactly right. so what s next for mike pence? are you thinking of another run for governor? are you thinking maybe something in washington, d.c. over on pennsylvania? steve, i have to tell you, having been elected governor of the state that i love is the greatest honor of my life. it s consumed all of our attention and while i ve read recently some people have talked about me and other things, i m going to stay completely focused on the future of the people of indiana because this is an extraordinary time in the life of our state. i just have to tell you. look at indiana where we have balanced budgets, we re a right to work state, we re lowering taxes even while we re investing in infrastructure and education innovation. it s one of the reasons we had the lowest unemployment rate in the midwest, fastest growing work force. that s why he s the governor! he knows the story. indiana is on the move. i ll stay focused on the future of the state of indiana. let my future take care of itself. thank you very much. thank you, steve. good luck to you. it s now 20 minutes after the top of the hour. switching gears, coming up, no tackle football here. 7th graders forced to play flag football over safety concerns. is this just the woosification of america? jerome bettis here live. take him out. no, i m kidding what needs to be done. ! do not take viagra if you take nitrates for chest pain; it may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. side effects include headache, flushing, upset stomach, and abnormal vision. to avoid long- term injury, seek immediate medical help for an erection lasting more than four hours. stop taking viagra and call your doctor right away if you experience a sudden decrease or loss in vision or hearing. this is the age of taking action. viagra. talk to you doctor. now time for headlines on this tuesday morning. clay aiken is now the democratic congressional candidate for north carolina in his district because his opponent, dead. 71-year-old keith krisco died after a fall inside his house. before his death, the primary battle with aiken was too close to call. and forget the moon. nasa now ready to land people on an asteroid. like that movie. astronauts started training, but the mission won t take place until after the year 2020. let s go outside to the bus stop. as you know, elisabeth, jerome bettis is one of our great friends. he s going to talk about asthma and allergies. first things first. in football, the draft is over. let s talk about the future of the game. talk about head injuries and health. in 7th graders in texas, east texas, the whole school district says this is too rough. i don t want kids getting hurt. no more tackle. they re playing flag. in texas. the state that covets football. you have to understand the concern is that real. i understand that. i grew up playing flag football. i didn t play tackle football until high school. ninth grade. so i understand that you can still have a successful nfl career playing flag football. but more importantly than that, it s the concern i think with parents about their children. children have long-term issues dealing with concussions. the demand for the sport is still there. you have over 100 million people watching the super bowl. something you re familiar with. even though it pained me at the time, i love you and so happy for the steelers now. but you have people wanting to watch the sport and parents who love the sport and kids want to play the sport. but we want to keep them safe. shouldn t we be working on ways to keep them safe, better means of tackling, better methods, so they don t get concussions? lieutenantly. i think that s what s happening now. you see the big push, especially with the nfl, in terms of educating the coaches. teaching the coaches the proper way to show kids how to tackle and teach kids how to tackle and play the game. i think that s the natural progression of how this is going to work. now you have to go back to education because that s the key in this process. educate the parents, the coaches on what they need to do and i think that s how it starts. there is something else you want to educate everyone on and that has to do with saving lives. we re talking about concussions and long-term, but also allergies. you have an allergy. i have a shell fish allergy. it s life-threatening. a lot of people don t understand what anaphylaxis is. it s an allergic reaction. if you have an allergic reaction that is so much that it could be life-threatening. so that s why there is a new device that s available. hold it up. it s an auto injector that has audio and visual cues. when you pull it out of the sleeve, it talks to you. it does. i actually we witnessed our friends using this on one of their kids, saved their life. it s automatic. it tells you what to do. true life saver. it is. you can get more information on their web site. we ve got a new program that is called what s your hey q. trying to educate, get people educated about anaphylaxis. the thing is, in certain passing situations, they pull you out. i want to make it known on our team, you re always in the game. as we talk to steve, could i send you into motion or could elisabeth send knew motion send you into motion? absolutely. jerome bettis will break tackles all the way through broadway. do not try to tackle him. he does not go down easily. brian and elisabeth and jerome, thank you very much. coming up next on our show on this tuesday, no love in this elevator. beyonce s sister attacks her brother-in-law, jay-z. how did that video get out?

[ scott ] feed your lawn. feed it! some political news. during his visit to the white house today, the president of uruguay lectured president obama about the dangers of smoking. then when obama said oh, i quit, hillary clinton ran past him into the oval office. that easy. funny stuff. what s that guy s name? seth myers on late night. they all look alike. 27 minutes before the top of the hour. still a lot of show left. that s right. someone who doesn t look like anybody else, heather nauert. thanks. good morning. got news to bring you. we talked about this story out of harvard university the past few days. good defeating evil on the campus of harvard. a student group satanic black mass that was to be planned for last night was canceled after locals became outraged by it. members of the cultural studies club said they wanted to move the mass, but couldn t find a new location. christian students say they were relieved it was called off, but still can t believe the college would allow this in the first place. listen here. as members of the university, i m just ashamed that in an environment that s otherwise committed to intellectual free tom, but also to civility would be allowing such a hateful event to happen. the group claim the mass was a historic satanic reenactment and that it was meant to be educational. beyonce and jay-z all smiles sitting court side at the game last night hours after this explosive video surfaced that is getting a whole lot of attention this morning. take a look at this. it shows beyonce s sister attacking her brother-in-law in an elevator. the video lasts 3 1/2 minutes. take a look at this. kicks and punches and all kinds of stuff. this happened at a party last week in new york city. you can see as her sister punches and kicks jay-z while a body guard tries to hold her back. at the end of the clip, beyonce actually pulls them away from one another. they haven t spoken out about this yet. but the standard hotel where this happened blasted the person who leaked the video saying it s, quote, shocked and disappointed that there was a clear breach of our security system. and listen to this, is it the biggest discovery since 1492? one explorer is now saying that he has found christopher columbus long lost ship, the santa maria. that ship apparently wrecked in a storm off the coast of haiti more than 500 years ago. researchers say they are confident that a full excavation will prove that it is the explorer s actual ship. pretty neat. and just call her a future obstetrician in training. an eight-year-old girl helps deliver her own baby brother. are you having contractions? yes, very bad. i want you to place the palm of your hand it s coming out. the baby is out. oh, my. crystal snyder went into labor two weeks early. it happens. her daughter heard her screams and called 911. the dispatcher gave the instructions and six minutes later, a healthy baby boy was born. jasmine received a certificate from the hospital nurses for her bravery. how cute is that? look at that little girl. those are your headlines. an eight-year-old. well done. no kidding. see you later. i love that. 24 minutes before the top of the hour on this awfully busy tuesday. we ve dispatched maria molina to the streets of new york city where it was a little breezy earlier. it s a little breezy out here. it s making it feel chillier. we re in the 60s. but you really need that jacket as you head out the door, at least throughout the morning hours due to the wind here across parts of the northeast. i want to take you farther west where we do have a storm system that s moving eastward and early this morning, it s producing areas of rain, from parts of texas, up into illinois and there is a concern for some flash flooding. especially across eastern parts of texas and up into parts of arkansas due to the very heavy rain that s coming down. it s going to continue to come down with several inches of rain expected out there. not only today, but tomorrow. tomorrow, you have the risk for severe weather from parts of mississippi, up into ohio, cincinnati, nashville, memphis, jackson. heads up, you could be seeing that severe weather tomorrow, especially during the afternoon and evening hours. temperature wise, above average across the southeast. then 90s in parts of north carolina. cool hyped that storm system. only 50s for you in parts of colorado and new mexico. now let s head over to brian. thank you very much. infidelity, a french judge ruled using on line dating web sites while matter isn t only cheating, it s grounds for divorce? the case involves a couple married for 18 years. the wife caught flirting on the internet with a man she never met. but the judge granted the breakup saying it was the sole fault of the wife who shared intimate photos of herself with a number of men. is this ruling fair or legal insanity? joining us now, dr. keith ablow and arthur aidala, a legal analyst. again, he says he went to school. we ll go on their judgment. i got diplomas. first off, do you agree with the french on this one? it s even easier in the united states of america. you don t even have to go that far. if one of the persons says it s irreconcilable differences that have been going on, the general rule of thumb is more than six months, that s grounds for divorce. it used to be you had to prove you haven t had sex in over a year, adultery, abuse. now it s just like nope, we haven t gotten along in over six months. if you re flirting on line, are you cheating? absolutely not. who raised you, young man! when did marriage become about only the romance? that s not a monogamy? taking care of kids, being financial partner, best friends. what 18-year married couple is sending naked photos of themselves to each other? hence, none. hence, it can t be part of the marriage. so how can it be grounds for divorce? how about we start the trend that the 15 year wedding anniversary you start sending naked photos to each other? i think that would be helpful. that s your friend, my trend. it s a good trend! there is flirting and then there is flirting. this judge said they were naked pictures. arthur, with your legal background, are naked pictures back and forth, maybe you re proud of your body. okay. it depends. if you re entering a body building contest, then she s proud of it what this judge looked at it, he didn t look at it from a fidelity point of view. a slippery slope. the bottom line is, look, we re not going to seed reality to technology that quickly in dr. ablow s office. and couples if there is to be fault divorce, i think it should be no fault, this is not the fault. okay. thank you. we proved as a society is there is no fault. if you leave your spouse over cheating, you never loved the person. whoa! wow! hold on. don t let that go. if you leave your spouse over cheating it means you never loved them? i wasn t going to let it go. i was going to enhance the conversation. i was not going to leave it there. i can t let it go. this is all i got. one third of divorce litigation is caused by on line affairs. so you re saying that one third of those relationships are based on nothing? in my office, if couples come in and say, i m leaving because she cheated, i say well, good. go. because you never loved her anyhow because if that physical breach is going to make you forget that she gets sick, you re not going to take her to the hospital because you never loved her listen to this, 46% of men consider their relationships to be infidelity. if you have a female client, you re more apt to have somebody who wants out. correct. my mother wanted to know, does dr. keith know about your situation? we have video. what he said is correct. a lot of divorce lawyers ask you before you get divorced, would you give your wife a kidney now if she needed it? you either say i d give her the kidney or i m getting divorced. bottom line is, i ve been married lots of years. infidelity would not crush my marriage because my relationship is made up of more than the physical. do both parties feel that way all right. dr. keith listen, just you two promise never to agree. we hardly ever do. coming up before i get yelled at, another day, another veteran affairs hospital called out for delaying health care to our national heros. where is the president on this? didn t he promise to fix that problem? your e-mails and tweets are pouring in. then she sings the songs we all know and love. country star kellie pickler. she not only is a great singer, a great personality and she just waved to me. it s to me, right?

that is in arlington, virginia. here is a story out of durham, north carolina regarding the v.a. hospital there. we ve been telling you over the last couple of weeks about the scandal that started in phoenix where they had a secret second list because any time you go in to a v.a. hospital, you ve got to get care within 14 days, otherwise there is a problem. well, another thing down there in durham, two employees have been placed on administrative leave because they, too, did this illegal selling thing. only two we know of obviously this thing is getting bigger and bigger. and the big question is, do they need a change at the top or do they need more aggressive management micromanaging down below? a lot of you are weighing in how to fix this and whose head should roll. diane said those responsible for mistreating our vets should be jailed. this behavior is disgraceful. terry on facebook writes, our government releases illegal immigrants accused of crimes ranging from d.u.i to murder, while imprisoning our veterans in a dysfunctional system. good point. famously, the v.a. hospital, people have talked for years about well, there is a lot of red tape and they got some of them lousy customer service. but outright corruption like this? that s shocking. yeah. disheartening to think about our nation s heros going and risking their lives to come home and die waiting on a list? this is the good place. this is supposed to be where we re taking care of them. where is the promise? where is the outrage and where is the accountable and where is the president on this? where is the commander in chief? no kidding. standing behind general shinseki. we ll see what happens. meanwhile, coming up straight ahead, our final guest of the day. she is fantastic. one of country music s finest and this morning she is here live. superstar kellie pickler coming up and there, getting a touch up. martha mccallum has been in the chair and is ready to go. all touched up and ready to go. good morning. thanks so much. coming up this morning, a bizarre story out of north carolina where the runoff with clay aiken is over because his primary opponent died. we re going to tell that you story. disturbing news about the dangers of releasing some illegal immigrants. and a scuffle in the elevator that s getting everybody talking about beyonce s sister this morning. what is an atheist chaplain? wrap your head around that. we ll see you at the top of the hour (vo) oh. my. tongue. finally. (announcer) all-new friskies saucesations. a taste experience like no other. in cheesy, creamy, homestyle, or garden sauce. friskies. feed the senses. they can see the light of a single candle. look after them with centrum silver. multivitamins for your eyes, heart and brain. centrum silver. for the most amazing parts of you. well, her southern charm and big voice captivated the american idol audience eight years ago. oh, baby got to get out just got to get right out of here . what a flashback. since then kellie pickler s big win led to a strange of country music hits. but the music competition show still guarantees success for its breakout stars. here to weigh in is kellie pickler herself. hello. that was a couple hairdos ago. i m sitting here like whoa, wow. a lot has changed since then. weird to look like that. i feel like an antique idol. never. you were up and coming. we said it s eight years ago. you confirmed it. you came in sixth place. at that point, you had 20 to 30 million people watching. yeah. your life would never be the same. now it s down to about 7 million. how much is left. which is still a lot of people. it s a lot. but how much do you think is left in the franchise with idol, the voice and everything like that? there is a lot of reality singing competition shows out there. so i think you just have to find ways to reinvent the show and make it interesting and different than the season before it. it sounds like american idol is going to be cutting back the number of hours that they broadcast. are they? yeah, they are. for one day. they re going to cut it back to 37 hours next year. how does that affect the voting? that s a good question. as you look in and watch idol, is there something you think maybe they should do this and it would pep up the ratings?
