2:00 am
>> good morning, everyone. thank you for joining us. i'm heather childers. >> and i'm heather nauert. it's friday, july 6th and thanks for watching "fox & friends first." >> time for the five at 5:00. the top five stories making news at this hour, the heat wave searching many parts of the u.s., also taking a major toll on crops. 56% of the u.s. is in a drought. it is the most significant of the past 12 years and there's for relief in sight with hot temperatures expected to keep up. according it -- to forecasters,
2:01 am
there's been 3,000 heat records broken across the country. >> it's been a week since severe storms slammed the midwest and the mid atlantic regions. more than 500 homes and businesses are still without power from ohio to virginia. about half of those outages are in west virginia and even worse, new storm that came in yesterday afternoon have left more people in the dark there and also in tennessee, kentucky and in north carolina. a judge setting george zimmerman's bail at $1 million. that same judge blasting him for "manipulating . even accusing him of hiding a second passport and trying to flee the country the first time that he was free on bail. right now, zimmerman's attorney says that there's enough money in his defense fund to post the required 10% of the bail. but he fears the bail bond company will not cough up the remaining 90% as is usually done. zimmerman charged with killing 17-year-old trayvon martin, something that he says he did in self-defense.
2:02 am
we will have a live report with more on his potential release coming up. >> a potentially devastating terror attack near london's olympics park has been thwarted. police raiding two homes where they arrested five men and one woman accused of planning that attack. among them, a guy named richard dart, a british muslim convert who recently started a documentary that promoted sharia law. three of the other suspects are believed to be brothers originally from bangladesh. all six in police custody. >> new details in the death of andy griffith. his death certificate shows the tv icon died from a heart attack that he suffered nearly 24 hours earlier. the beloved actor best known for his role as america's favorite sheriff on "the andy griffith" show and he starred in the long running series "matlock" in the 80's and 90's. he is buried near his home in north carolina. he was 86 years old. >> let's talk politics now.
2:03 am
president obama's swing state bus tour is coinciding with today's jobs report and that's set to be released in just a few hours. we'll talking about the monthly jobs report. molly henneberg is live for us now in washington with more. hey, molly, the last jobs report we got out was not good for the president and the nation, how is this one looking? >> the may unemployment report was, i believe, 8.2% or 8.3%. we'll have to see what june is. those numbers come out in 3 1/2 hours. they're significant not just as a measure of the nation's economic picture but as part of the campaign narrative. the june numbers set the tone for an economic discussion for the good part of the summer before a lot of people go on vacation in august. today, the president will continue his bus tour in ohio and pennsylvania. yesterday he said he "refused to turn my back on struggling communities" and told voters that he has experience in "saving the american auto industry." referring to the bailout there. he said he was encouraged by the manufacturing sector.
2:04 am
>> manufacturing is starting to come back here in ohio and all across the country. some of the biggest manufacturing job growth since the 1990's. a lot of folks lost their jobs but a lot of folks have retrained and now they're going back and getting jobs and renewable energy and industries of the future but for all the progress we've made, we still got a long way to go. >> the president is likely to speak on the new unemployment numbers later this morning. on the republican side, governor mitt romney on vacation in new hampshire has said president obama has offered "no nuances -- new answers on the economy. the romney campaign calling this bus tour of the president a middle class gap tour reported to a report that manufacturing shrank in june. one of the surrogates, tim pawlenty traveling near places of the president this week, said
2:05 am
president obama is coming through ohio on a tour dubbed betting on america. we should all bet on the country but we shouldn't double down on barack obama. he's had his chance. it's not working and we need to get it moving in a different direction. that's governor tim paw lae -- pawlenty. the month of june was a good one for fundraising on the romney campaign. romney bought in $100 million last month. heather? >> all right. molly henneberg, thanks so much. that's a lot of dough. mitt romney calling it the -- that was a long one. the name of the tour doesn't roll off the tongue. molly henneberg. >> middle class promise gap tour. >> the middle class promise gap tour. >> ok. >> thanks a lot. >> thank you. >> it's time for a look at who is talking on mitt romney's past comments about the president's health care law is the big talker this morning. >> charles krauthammer responding to the presidential hopeful's comment saying the romney campaign is misplaying the situation.
2:06 am
>> the romney campaign which is otherwise solid and a lot of professionals in it and he's a solid guy completely misunderstood what's at stake here. romney is obsessed with trying to show what he did in massachusetts was ok because he's obsessed with people saying if he doesn't, somehow he repudiated and even in the details of what he called the mandate that he'll be accused of being a guy who flips and flops. instead of just ignoring that, ignoring what anybody would say about massachusetts, who cares about that? he's handed by the supreme court this notion that at the heart of obamacare is a tax and it is a tax 3/4 of which ends up falling on people of the very middle income, under $120,000 and he blows it and he says at the beginning, it's a mandate and now it's a tax. he looks as if there's an internal debate within his campaign and he not only didn't take advantage of something he was handed, he turns it into a
2:07 am
negative. >> texas senator kay bailey hutchinson disagrees with that point. saying she thinks romney has done a good job stating his job position. listen to this. >> i think he's done a very good job of drawing the issues about obama. examine -- and this campaign is about obama's record and the high unemployment, the overregulation and the taxes that are going on at the end of this year and the obama healthcare which is a massive overreach. i think that mitt romney has said that he is going to do some specific things and he's said on the first day, i will ask congress to repeal obamacare. we'll start all over. we'll go step by step. we'll give more access to people for affordable health care and we will keep some of the good parts but we are not going to have the high taxes on business and individuals that obamacare has.
2:08 am
period. he's been very specific. >> the senator also saying that this campaign is about obama's record and that this country needs change. change which romney can bring. now to some stories that you can bank on today, we're talking about the june jobs report. lauren is here with what we can expect. >> speaking of change, change on the way for that? >> hopefully. it might not be so bad. may was really lousy and economists for last month are expecting that 90,000 jobs were created in june and the unemployment rate to stay steady at 8.2%. yesterday, we got three positive clues about the job market, private employment rose considerably, plants layoff came in at the lowest level in more than a year and weekly claims for unemployment benefits they fell leading some economists to actually upgrade their views of today's jobs report. so here's to hoping the numbers are huge, wall street, main street, and in washington and we
2:09 am
get the numbers in the next three hours. >> we will think positive of that. this next story not too positive. apartment rents on this hour. >> the difficult task of buying a home have converted more and more americans into renters. according to a real estate firm, the national rent went up in the u.s. by 1% to just under $1100 between the first and second quarters while the number of apartments available dwindled to a 10-year low of 4.7%.
2:10 am
>> heather? >> it's now 9 minutes after the hour. let's head to janice dean. she's been a busy lady lately. she has more on the extreme heat in effect in many parts of the country. hi there, janice. we've been talking about these drought conditions. >> yes and the drought conditions is actually making the temperatures even worse. if you can believe it. there's really no moisture in the ground so the heat -- the earth heats up quicker so there's a quick explanation on how the drought is actually lending some of these high temperatures. heat index, that's the temperature plus the humidity, what it feels like on your skin when you head outdoors. these are really exceptionally dangerous temperatures. going to feel like 108 in chicago. 110 in louisville. 104 in nashville. 103 in raleigh. 98 in d.c.
2:11 am
there's a little bit of relief on the way. we have to get through this weekend. it will kind of get worse before it gets better across the eastern half of the country but that high pressure that's been centered across the eastern half is going to break down and the temperatures will start to lessen a little bit. but yeah, as we head into tomorrow, 109 in -- i mean, the same thing. 111 in louisville. 105 in nashville. 109 in d.c. again, this is heat index. what it feels like the temperature with the humidity so really oppressive and be really careful. make sure you're hydrating and staying indoors where it's cool and, of course, check if on the little ones, the elderly and keeping your pets inside. heat advisories again for the same areas across the heartland up towards the mid atlantic and the northeast where again, we're dealing with hundreds of thousands of people who are still without power. so that's another situation. that, of course, we'll continue to monitor. >> many of those families could be without power throughout the weekend. check in with you later this morning. >> the time is 11 after the
2:12 am
hour. yesterday, we told you about that lifeguard that was fired after saving someone from drowning. we'll have a major development in that story to tell you about today. that's coming up. >> then did casey anthony's lawyer believe her story? listen to this. >> when she told me what happened because of the prior lies, i wasn't so quick to jump on board. >> but he did. we'll hear more from jose baez coming up. let's take a quick look at this morning's prices at the pump. national average stands the $3.35 a gallon. ps
2:13 am
2:14 am
2:15 am
>> welcome back. 15 after the top of the hour. time for a look at who's talking. casey anthony's attorney jose baez is who is talking. it was one year ago yesterday that casey anthony was acquitted of killing her daughter caylee.
2:16 am
>> baez appeared on the record to talk with greta van susteren about his new book and he told get what he thought of casey's story. >> when she told me what happened, because of the prior lies, i wasn't so quick to jump on board. so what i made the determination at that point in time is look, i'm dealing or right now, i've got the client of the boy who cried wolf. and i've got to -- if i'm going to either put her on the stand or go in this direction as -- for her defense, i'm going to have to corroborate it and i literally made the decision this is a situation where if i can't corroborate what she's saying, it's useless to me because it won't stand up against cross-examination. so you don't really get into that -- you know, i still had that defense lawyer hat on and i've always had it on so you don't get into that situation where you're believing or not
2:17 am
believing. it doesn't matter what i believe, it only matters what i can prove so when she told me what had happened on june 16th, i went back all the way to the very beginning and i said ok, here's what i'm going to do. i'm going to try and disprove what she's telling me. and if i can do that, that's certainly -- i'm going to have another talk with her and get closer to where we are with the truth. >> baez is saying a lot more than that. you can hear it on "fox & friends" at 6:50 a.m. he will appear live. george zimmerman could walk free again today. this after a judge set his bail at $1 million. steve gelbach is live for us outside of the jail in sanford, florida. zimmerman could leave there at any moment. good morning. >> yeah, but this could take a while. we're watching the door here in the back of the jail where we saw him walk out a few months ago and now, he has to put up a lot more money. the judge set his new bond at $1
2:18 am
million. we suppose 10% of that cash, $85,000, factor in the $15,000 he's already paid in. come up with the extra collateral with here, that's what the attorneys are trying to work on right now coming up with a deal to get him out of jail. yesterday, in this ruling, there was a lot of criticism from the judge in this ruling about george zimmerman and he lied to the court, that he had $100,000 on hand when he first went into a bond hearing in april and the judge feared that he would try to flee the country and avoid prosecution. he had another passport that the judge didn't know about. they criticized him here and the new bond at $1 million. $100,000 they'll have to post from the criminal defense fund which has about $200,000. a lot of conditions he'll have to meet before he gets out of
2:19 am
jail again. >> it's now 18 minutes after the hour and it's been 10 years, hard to believe it's been that long, since scott peterson was sentenced to death for killing his wife and his unborn child. today, he's back in the news with a new appeal. we'll tell you about that. >> and the romney campaign trying to stay tight but did ann romney just spill the beans? we'll tell you what she had to say.
2:20 am
2:21 am
2:22 am
>> good morning, it's now 22 minutes after the hour. here's a look at some of the headlines this morning. one of the worst airline disasters in history did not have to happen. a brand new report about arizir france flight said the pilot didn't know how to deal with the technical issues that arose
2:23 am
before the plane crashed in the atlantic in 2009. all 228 people on board that plane were killed. and scott peterson trying to overturn his death sentence in a brand new appeal to california's supreme court. he claims he didn't murder his wife lacy and their unborn son back in 2002. that appeal is actually considered standard procedure for california death penalty cases. it could take months or even years to be resolved. heather, let's go over to you. >> many republicans promising voters that they will repeal obamacare but that leaves the question of what would happen next? jim angle takes a look at what republicans have planned. >> to go forward or to be dragged backwards. >> democrats argue republicans who want to repeal the obama plan want to return to the bad old days of health insurance. >> put politics behind us. join with us in ensuring that every american has access to quality, affordable care. that no person is denied coverage due to a pre-existing
2:24 am
condition. >> republicans, however, say they agree the old system will not work. >> the health care system, status quo is unacceptable. as a physician, i can tell you it doesn't work for patients and it doesn't work for doctors. >> one conservative analyst say republicans should lay out their plans to show them what they should do. >> they need to be able to talk to health care vision different from the obamacare vision and they need to be able to announce some principles that people can understand and agree with. >> all the obama administration and the people that supported the president's health care reform did was add more people to a failing system. that's not health care reform. >> people always rejected the individual mandate in polls but another aspect was consistently and immensely popular, coverage of pre-existing conditions. one poll found that 85% favored that with 12% opposing. republicans had several plans to cover pre-existing conditions. one reason for the mandate was to force lots of healthy people
2:25 am
into insurance pools to spread the risk. republicans say they can do that without the mandate which they plan to repeal. >> to get the pools large enough to be able to make it so pre-existing illnesses don't make any difference to the cost of health coverage for folks. >> because the risk is spread over such a large group, that expensive illnesses of a few don't drive up premiums for all. if it's that simple, though, why hasn't it been done before? as it turns out, if you don't work for a large multistate employer, it's illegal for individuals or small groups to buy health insurance across state lines even though you can buy auto or life insurance anywhere. >> i often jokingly say isn't it interesting to buy car insurance for the lizard but you can't buy health insurance. >> republicans would change that law so people who belong to the same association such as all realtors or all lutherans or all small business associations could form a pool for health insurance. >> what if we allowed everybody who is a member of a civic
2:26 am
organization, the rotatarians or lions club to pool together to purchase insurance. >> the congressman once proposed allowing anyone anywhere to enroll the federal health plan that has nine million members across the u.s. >> they have different kinds of insurance plans that they can pick from. and that's what we would like to do, we'd like to create bigger pools. >> republicans had several bills already written and ready to go. most have one thing in common. there would be no mandate and no tax increases and the federal government would not be making health care decisions, they say, patients and doctors would. heather? heather? >> jim angle, thank you so much. >> it is now 26 minutes after the hour. coming up, we have this story for you. the lifeguard grabbed national headlines after he was fired for saving a drowning swimmer. well, we have a major development in that story to tell you about today. that's coming up in a minute. >> could another t.s.a. nightmare be on the horizon? now, your liquids may be tested after you've already gone
2:27 am
through security. stay with us. hey america, even though they don't need one, wes, clay and demarcus tried on the new depend real fit briefs for charity to prove how great the fit is even while playing pro football. the best protection now looks, fits and feels just like underwear. get a free sample and try one on for yourself. ( bell rings ) they remwish i saw mine of my granmore often, but they live so far away. i've been thinking about moving in with my daughter and her family. it's been pretty tough since jack passed away. it's a good thing you had life insurance through the colonial penn program. you're right. it was affordable, and we were guaranteed acceptance. guaranteed acceptance? it means you can't be turned down because of your health.
2:28 am
you don't have to take a physical or answer any health questions. they don't care about your aches and pains. well, how do you know? did you speak to alex trebek? because i have a policy myself. it costs just $9.95 a month per unit. it's perfect for my budget. my rate will never go up. and my coverage will never go down because of my age. affordable coverage and guaranteed acceptance? we should give them a call. do you want to help protect your loved ones from the burden of final expenses? if you're between 50 and 85, you can get quality insurance that does not require any health questions or a medical exam. your rate of $9.95 a month per unit will never increase, and your coverage will never decrease -- that's guaranteed. so join the six million people who have already called about this insurance. whether you're getting new insurance or supplementing what you already have, call now and ask one of their representatives about a plan that meets your needs.
2:29 am
so, what are you waiting for? go call now! we'll finish up here.
2:30 am
>> good morning to you, everyone. welcome back to "fox & friends first." i'm heather nauert. >> thanks so much for joining us. i'm heather childers. it's now half past the hour, 5:30 on the east coast. it's time for the top five stories making headlines at this hour. fox news learning exclusively about a new report on the
2:31 am
massacre at fort hood and that apparently will call for sweeping changes at the f.b.i. the judge says the report will be submitted by next week. webster says there will be 18 recommendations that range from changes at the f.b.i. policy and operations to changing the computer system and also training. army major nidal hasan is accused of killing 13 people and leaving more than 30 wounded in that 2009 rampage. warning for you the next time you fly, the t.s.a. may want to test your drink after you've already cleared the security checkpoint. new report says agents may select passengers for random testing either at the checkpoint or at the gate. critics say the move is another example of the t.s.a. taking their power too far. >> watch your iced tea, heather. a florida lifeguard who was fired after saving a drowning man outside his designated watch zone has now turned down an offer to get his job back. tomas lopez says that the company's change of heart is too
2:32 am
little too late. tomas joined us on "fox & friends" yesterday and he says everything he's gone through was worth it to save a man's life. >> well, i had a guy yelling at me saying go, go, so i started running and i finally found the person being dragged up out of the water and i jumped in the water and grabbed him. >> good instincts there. nine of lopez's co-workers quit in solidarity off were fired for supporting him in public. well, they've been offered their jobs back, too. we're told only some of them accepted. >> mitt romney's wife letting the country in on a little secret as she continues to look at possible running mates. ann romney revealing that her husband is thinking about picking a woman for the number two spot on his ticket. new hampshire senator kelly ayote, south carolina governor niki haley and former secretary of state condaleeza rice have been rumored as possible options. >> former first lady nancy reagan getting a very special
2:33 am
birthday wish. look at this. >> ♪ happy birthday ♪ mrs. reagan ♪ happy birthday ♪ to you ♪ to you >> that's nice. that was mickey and minnie and some of the other disney characters singing happy birthday at the ronald reagan presidential library and museum in california and that's where a brand new walt disney archives exhibit opens today. the same day that mrs. reagan turns 91 years old, the lips didn't move, though. that's your five at 5:30 on the east coast. >> president obama's bus tour will keep rolling across key battleground states. all eyes are on today's jobs report that's sure to have a major impact on the campaign trail. doug luzader live in d.c. with
2:34 am
with some more. hi, doug. >> good morning, guys, economists are expecting today's numbers to create some job creation, probably not so much to make much of a dent in the unemployment rate. both the obama and romney campaigns have been anxiously waiting for these numbers to come. in the obama campaign bus, as you mentioned, continues to make its way through ohio and pennsylvania, key states this year. with the president keanely aware of the unemployment rate and the role it's going to play in this campaign. he was already laying some groundwork yesterday accusing mitt romney of driving jobs overseas. >> governor romney's experience has been in owning companies that were called pioneers of outsourcing. that's not my phrase. pioneers of outsourcing. my experience has been in saving the american auto industry. >> well, the romney campaign sent their own bus to follow the president and dispute those claims on board with louisiana governor bobby jindal and former
2:35 am
minnesota governor tim pawlenty. >> we should all recall the promises he made last time and the promises that are left unfulfilled and broken. >> now, internally, the romney campaign may be in for some staff changes. "the washington post" reports that it may be a response to conservative criticism about the somewhat tepid response to last week's supreme court decision on the president's health care plan. one area where romney is definitely surging, fundraising and the -- he and the republican national committee hauled in about $100 million last month probably besting the obama campaign which is now just burning through cash. one thing we won't see this year from the president, a family vacation to martha's vineyard with the high unemployment rate heading into november, that may have been a big concern in the campaign. >> thank you very much, doug luzader live for us in washington. thanks. >> is it hot enough out there for you?
2:36 am
let's go to janice dean to find out. when is it going to finally cool down? >> i have good news. look at this map, do you see that green shaded area? that's the leading edge of cooler air that's going to come across the midwest parts of the central plains and the northeast by monday and tuesday. we're talking seasonal temperatures so that is welcomed news. but until we get there, we're still dealing with 100 degree temperatures. record-breaking heat. we broke records in chicago, atlanta and st. louis yesterday. 103 in tulsa. 103 in kansas city. 102 in springfield. up towards the mid atlantic and ohio valley, 100 degree temperatures. and that's the actual daytime high not factoring in what it's really going to feel like with the humidity. quick look at where we can see the potential for severe weather today. we actually saw over 300 reports of severe weather across the southeast. appalachians yesterday. so keeping an eye on that region and then the northern plains and upper midwest, that's where we could see that potential again today for hail, damaging winds,
2:37 am
and even isolated tornadoes. that's because we've got that cold front moving in so the not so nice side of the cool front could give us some nasty storms. quick look at the morning travel, ladies, looking good for all of these cities. you should really have no problems if you're headed to the airport. heather, heather, back to you. >> thank you so much. >> thank you, janice. >> justin bieber and selena gomez on the rocks. new reports say the teen lovebirds have been on and off for months even breaking up as recently as last week. right now, the two are reportedly trying to give it another shot. but sources close to them say that they are having a tough time working it out. sad to hear. kris humphries, remember him? going to be a daddy? his divorce from kim kardashian isn't even final yet but tmz is reporting that the brooklyn nets player is expecting his first child with his ex-girlfriend and model. sources close to her say

million. the move comes after the knicks lost out on steve nash. major league soccer giving david beckham the boot. fined an unknown amount of money for his actions in the game. he kicked two balls, one hit a player. he got a yellow card and that's an automatic one game ban. heather? >> the time now is 39 after the top of the hour and coming up, a certain amount of joe could actually be good for the heart but a new study says that anything more could have consequences. we'll break all that down for you in the fox health fix. >> and bad news for summer barbecues. these extreme weather conditions across the midwest could start hitting your wallets soon. we'll tell you about changes and pricing at your grocery store.

2:42 am
2:43 am
>> it is 42 after the top of the hour. time to span the globe to see what stories are making headlines for you overseas. first, chile. police in riot gear using water cannons and tear gas to break up an unauthorized protest by workers. they're demanding an increase in the monthly minimum wage. up next, italy, art experts reportedly researching 100 drawings and paintings that could be by renaissance artist, experts say it could be worth up to $840 million. and finally, to london, that's where your tallest skyscraper was officially unveiled last night during this laser light show. the shard, that's what it's called, it stands at just over 1,000 feet. pretty cool.
2:44 am
>> i bet it's beautiful. 44 minutes after the hour and police in the new york area are trying to figure out what caused a boat to capsize that killed three children on board after fireworks on the fourth of july. robert moses is live for us in oyster bay, that's on long island with the latest on this tragic story. bobby, break this down for us. there were 27 people on board a 34 foot boat. >> yeah, heather, good morning to you and good morning, everyone, that boat, as we speak, is about two miles or so north of us still submerged in 60 to 70 feet of water. divers will be bringing it to the surface at some point. we're told that could happen as early as today. police tell us the boat was carrying 27 people back from a fireworks displayn wednesday night when it capsized killing those three children. 12-year-old david oraleno, 11-year-old harvey trainer and 8-year-old victoria gains, they all live in suffolk county on the eastern end of long island.
2:45 am
divers found the three victims in the cabin of that boat. now, the driver of the boat has reportedly told police that a big wave hit the boat and that's what caused it to flip. that's just one of a few causes that police are investigating. >> we apparently researching the cause to this boat to sink. we are looking at several avenues. one of which would be overcrowding on the boat. there was 27 people on this boat. that was a combination of adults and children. >> and police think they know what did not cause this horrible tragedy. at this point, there's no indication that drugs or alcohol played any role in this terrible tragedy. that is the latest live from long island this morning. heather, back to you. >> all right, thank you so much. well, it is now 45 minutes after the hour. >> and not good news for all your summer barbecues, the summer drought that's hitting much of the midwest may now be
2:46 am
