career. trace is at the breaking news desk. >> we learned that sid no is a liberal blogger who worked for president obama's reelection campaign and once called thee though weiner hershisero. that was before anthony weiner was carlos danger and they had a sexually explicit on line and on the phone relationship. sid no leather said anthony weiner describes himself as a argumentive and perpetually horny mitted age man. we can't show you the message but can show you those. i worship the ground you walk on and you are incredible and weiner responding, you will not tell me what picture of me that likes you the most? >> specifically your health care rants were a huge turn on.

we think this is what turned her on, listen. >> we want the american people to get as good as the friends in the republican party had. and we want the benefits in congress, choice and affordability and lower costs and lower taxes for all americans. that's the democratic plan. >> she claims the relationship began after weiner resigned from congress. she first contacted sxhim he contacted her on bock bock and it quickly got sexual. social networking turned into e-mails and that turned into regular phone sex. weiner claims the last time she talked to him was last summer and he said it was in april. and did you see this from last night's debate involving thee though weiner, play it. >> (laughter)

mr. weiner. you are going to say -- all i can say guys, don't ask me, next? >> last night's debate. sid thee leathers said weiner made her lofty promises and he didn't cope combf them. he is promising to stay in the race but the numbers don't look good. the latest poll, june until today, anthony wein has dropped nine that is a steep and rapid decline. >> the lead weight metaphor comes to mind. trace we'll keep an eye on it. >> people magazine released

previously unpublished excerpts from wein and his wife huma. and they a pored to be a picture of healed family. i tell my friends things though thee does. really my husband doesn't do. that i have not washed a single piece of clothing. thee though does all of the clothing. i haven't opinion to the driveway cleaner he is a loving, caring thoughtful pows and partner. the back lash huma abedin is taking from the feminist. >> huge poll numbers show the president is losing numbers. the administration called phony scandals that are dragging down the president's reputation. we are buffeted about the

variety of things that confront us. they are unexpected, either a natural disaster or event overseas or fake scandals or things like. that phony scandals that capture and disa pate. >> with the endless parade of posturing and phony scandal and washington has taken its eye off of the ball. i am here to say, this needs to stop. >> here is the problem for the president. take a look at the poe. his approval rating among the independent voters in the tank. down six points from last month and a far cry from the 54 percent that the president enjoyed 54 yearsing on. and host of power play live. and even:30 every day. chris. welcome to you. those numbers are good for the

president. he didn't have to run for anything again. >> he does. he has to run for democratic control of the senate. he is in a battle for public support. we are getting ready to get in terrible times in washington d.c. as if they are not terrible enough. we'll get in terrible times as we come to the end of the budget year and as we come to the debt ceiling and opening of the gates on the subsidized health insurance that the president called obama care. and as we get to all of these things, it is terrible here. the president goes out and said what he is doing and rallying americans to his cause. if you look at those numbers and look at what they are concerned about. he is done 20 points with the independents. this is a group he got 60 percent of. and he is 20 points worse off

with independents today than george bush was at this moment in his second term. this is disastrous and he is not talking about and of the stuff that folks are concerned about. and he is quoting carl sandburg and talking about wind mills. >> it is the 2014 election. i thought up to the run of his economic speeches. they say mr. president they are all good ideas and you can't get them through congress. there is a disappointment. here he is like throwing a lifeline and the reporters told me they are great ideas. why aren't they covering them.

the press said how dare you talk about phony scandals like the terrorist attack on the u.s. outpost in benghazi, libya or the targeting of the irs. or abuses of the department of justice or implementation of the health care law. how dare you talk about those things? if you are the liberal you claim to be, you should be talking about the president's agenda and carl sand berg and wind mills and why not? and that is the president loving washington to talk to washington. he takes the white house press corps with him and gets to illinois and missouri and turns back and talks to washington and said shame on you for not talking about what you should be talking about. >> what about the comments from senator mafrnin this morning who is a democrat. if you have a friend and you go out and call them phony and come

back and have a bite to eat and negotiation says to them, it is tough. if you say we'll be friends and negotiate, publicly i will call you a phony liar and that is coming from a democrat? >> joe manchin. he was good at being governor of west virginia. he was a democrat and knew how to build coalition. bill clinton knew how because he was governor of arkansas. the president doesn't have experience in building coalition. he thinks that the way you do this, scold and conjuror. the idea of finding common ground. the president likes straw men and burn them down and wonders

why he doesn't find more assistance on the other side of the aisle. chris, we'll see you on the internet on fox/live. >> you bet. >> new information on a deadly train crash in spain. the train was going way too fast and bull dozed his way on the grouped. dozens are injured and many are killed >> shannon, as the driver survived, authorities should get to the bottom of what happened. he will be formally interrogated and the security cameras on the station where this happen captured the moment of the crash and you can see the carriages behind the engine leaving rails and to theam stops presumably

because the train slammed into the camera itself. some of those eight cars piled up on top of each other and some thrown yards from the track. the latest figures is 80 dead and 178 injured and 95 still in hospitals. the bodies are still being identified. five u.s. citizens are among the injured. it was supposed to be a holiday where the remains of st. james are said to be buried. it is suspected all along that excessive speed was the cause of the crash and officials say they believe it was the case. shannon, a catastrophicy like this shocks the nation. it happen on the eve of an important religious festival and it is a remote region of spain

with an international connection known by catholics all over the world. >> all right. amy kellogg with the latest. >> the president is giving speeches about the economic recovery. there is a new claim that twice as many people landed on foot stamps. we are going to do the fact checks behind the claims. >> a stunning claim of solidarity from president bush as he goes bald. and we have breaking news about anthony weiner, and the possibility that more women could be son coming forward. we'll hear a growing debate of the support seen from his wife. the fact that she's standing by her man in another sexting questions.

huma and congressman weiner. in the end of the day people who love each other make decisions like that. and if huma is willing to stay with him it is a decision for the voters of new york and should stay that way. >> it is the point, it is for the voers to decide that this guy shouldn't be a mayor of new york. he is a hewnatic. there is a compulsion bordering on a mental illness and voters need to know that. and the idea humma, it is fine. what they want to do in their private life that is okay. why should they ask the voters of new york city, the most important job in the world in a city trust this guy. >> she continues to stand by his side. gloria endorsed a different opponent in this race. and she said no one should get

blamed for what their spouse does. he is get out of the race. she is raising questions of very well respected woman and may have stolholm. and the decision for humma and who she looked after the role model and you can see it is a lot in politics. and political wives standing by their man. it is a cbs talk she and dedicated to this. and the good wife is standing by their man and being the strong woman and david viters wife stand by him and this is in politics. i am not sure stolk home syndrome and tanning by your man in the public sphere. does she run the risk? >> she worked for hillary

clinton and a lot of pieces in the new york media. if they want to stand in good standing with the clintons. they will follow her lead in this and she is the power broker in this relationship? >> there is a difference here. he is not the president of the united states. bill clinton was. he is unemployed excongressman and running for mayor. i think that the clintons are in her ear. hey, this is uncomfortable situation. and if i were bill clinton and hillary clinton i would advoice him to get out. we are talking about the clintons in respect to his scandal. >> probably not what they want to revisit. >> thank you for having me, shanor. >> a stunning show of solidarity

from george. bush who is shaving his head. and bill o'rielly pursued the role issues of race in america. we are going to look at the facts behind the controversy. and the attorney general is accused of trying to do an end run around the supreme court as he suggests that the administration could reverse the voting laws that affect a dozen spaz states. we must regard this as not defoot but a historic opportunity for congress to restore and strengthen modern voters protections. we got adt because i walked in on a burglary once.

>> breaking new developments that was forced to make an emergency landing. united express flight had taken off when the pilot reported smoke in the cockpit. 27 passengers were on board and were evacuated as a precaution. no smoke was visible and the plane was towed to the gate. not sure if there was a mechanical problem in the plane. >> the reason that there is so much violence and chaos in the black precincts is the disentigration of the african-american family. 73 percent of all black babies are born out of wedlock. that drives poverty and lack of

involved fathers leads to young boys growing up resentful and unsupervised. >> that was part of the monday night talking points and bill laid out problems of race in america are ignored. just last night they discussed the civil right's industry and attempting to blame the problems of the black community on white racism, listen. energies south side of chicago violence is dlin by drug gangs. they are not selling drugs but killing other people and that is driving all of this stuff. instead charles rangle and jesse jackson, they will never tell you that. they are not protecting this own people. it is blacks who are affected by. it >> the civil right's industry has no vested interest in highlighting that aspect.

the whole point of the civil right's industry is blame the blacks and particularly white racism. >> this comes as a poll finds americans at tus have plummeted since president obama was elected. only 52 percent of the whites and 38 percent of the blacks have a favorable opinion of race here in the u.s. 79 percent of whites and blacks held a savorable vow in two very 09. and david world-wide web is a host of a ro she. >> what do you make of the conversation that is launched in the bill o'rielly stayed on and said difficult topics to discuss. >> i agree with bill. it is a difficult conversation to discuss. i agree on some aspects of. it but some parts of it were a bit ridiculous. when he said own people.

we are all americans. isn't this all an american problem that we are focused on. and pointing to civil right's leadership to being responsible for the deaths happening in chicago is wrong and how we are split apart racially in this country. it is not only the responsibility of black leaders. it is the responsibility of all of us. and the level of attention that is the conversation has got ep after the trayvon martin and zimmerman trial. it is something we look at every day. sharpton has a national television show. why doesn't he talk about the issue and starting marches and rallies. why do we only talk about gun control when young kids are killed in connecticut? it doesn't get as much attention and we are all responsible for

name calling that something that folks on the right like to do. calling people thugs, does no good at all. it is an interesting that both the right and left are engaged in and it is ineffective. jamu referred to me because i called it race profiteers. jamusaid it is an americans problem and that troo true. but the purported leaders, jesse jackson and al sharpton and the others failed to highlight the problems and deal with them. in the grefance industry it is more important to have the fight. this is 2013. and while we can't pretend that racism doesn't exist, it doesn't exist everywhere. what do we do? bill talked about accountability and responsibility. and what do they do?

yes, they all have to be involved and it doesn't just affect blacks. the grefance industry spent a lot of time in the argument and in the fight and they can rally and actions that provide solutions. >> and the problem is, shannon, that david web is only making an industry for himself. and let's start talking about head start funding is decimated and when states are deciding on how many prison beds and looking at third and fourth grade reading rates we need to refund reading. if they are baby sat by gangs, we need to make sure after school programs are funded. there is something else to be involved in and saying smaller government is not the solution. and also saying that government spending is the solution. we have to focus on the aspects

of the culture and the black family and the way that bill o'rielly said. you can't demonize it. you have to understand that some are tide to racial inequality and visual culture. it tells you that we should not value black men and they are up to no good. we have to change that. we in the media can't make a living at pointing fingers without saying these are solutions and why aren't you talking about this. >> you talk about children and education and young men who don't have going to do and unsupervised. that is not good of kids with any race. and you talked about the family core and how that is under attack. how do you have discussion that

is emotional for a lot of people in a way to make progress with that discussion and you are talking about the problem? is there a way to do that without inflaming continuations and emotions. >> there is. there is an issue and not coming from a partisan lane on this. family break down in the black community. too many children are born out of wedlock and two parent households. >> that does have complications and poverty in any case. >> and follows with failure in education and i am all for fixing education. broken education system supported by groups like the nnaacp when that is proven to help. hang o.>> it is not going. >> i understand jamu, but let me

finish my point. if you have options on the table you will have solutionsment family environment and blended environment. and good situation leads to better economic future. we can't have the conversation without action. rallies are great. but instead of rallies, or in addition to the rallies. have meetings with family and communities and get them to work together and solve the localized problems. the federal approach doesn't work because communities are different. >> it is not a civil right's industry myth. i worked with mtv. who has glorified the baby momma culture with flavor flaf. and you saw all of those west virginia politician saying you will not represent our community. they won.

but the entertainment has glorified this type of behavior. it is not just civil right's folks. we need to look at hollywood. >> it is a true way that we are you see black men represented in entertainment. that is a problem. >> you talk about west virginia leaders. does that say there is a greater weight on black leaders when they see negative programming, they have a duty to step up and say we don't want you to encourage that behavior? >> i will back away from the greater weight. i am an american. and i think that that great weight everyone should feel it. we shouldn't have white celebrities only tweeting about

the pain of the verdict in the zimmerman trial and not have paid any attention to how the industry that made millions of profits on profited off of negative message. if alley wants to get involved with the trayvon martin situation get involved in the deaths in chicago and the same way we shold sharpton and jackson and webb, you are responsible. 90 percent of your tweets are about calling these people names. >> and all right. >> we are going to. >> i am not getting in a personal matter. greater weight matters here. you can't apply to west virginia and congressional black caucus can be silent on the show. apply even weight. it is one country but divided is led heavily by many people

profiting off the argument and not having a solution. >> we have to leave it there. it is just the beginning of the conversation. thank you very much. >> o.j. simpson is fighting for his freedom. how will that go for the parole board. camera crews are attacked by an unhappy viewer. and a year after four americans died in benghazi, we are learning new details about the actions of one man and what went on inside of the u.s. consulate. >> the agent comes here and gets ambassador stephens from his bedroom and bringing him to a room in the safe haven. it was a big dark windowless closest and then outside a looked gate.

-- look locked gate. rrn

o.j. simpson simpson back in court yet again this time he is asking the nevada parole board to reduce his sentence. he was convicted of storm nothing a vegas hotel rom and taking thousands of memor billia. he served four years for the crime. joining us is a former prosecutor and doug burn, a former prosecutor himself. welcome to you both. >> tell us about the parole hearing. he will not walk out tomorrow. >> you have concurrent sentences and that is a huge factor in calculating the way the sentence is going to run. part of his was ordered to run consecutive in simple england. he is applying for parole, he can't be released until two

where are -- 2017. >> his attorney believes he will be on the minimum end of what he will have to serve. nboats 33 years which is the maximum. it is something they will work toward and that is the analysis. how is he doing when he is behind bars? he is a model prisoner and that will work to his benefit in this application. he was sentenced severely. 9- 33 years at one point, by everybody's accounts, he was offered 2- 5 and he's got work to do. he has a shot at it. and the other factor is if it might be possible to get a new trial. what are the odds and what do they consider? >> he made a couple of claims.

first he said the plaintiff didn't communicate the plea offer. gee, if i known they offered me 2- 5. but the lawyer took the witness stand and shot that down hard saying i did communicate the offer. second thing he had a conflict of interest and couldn't dispassionately represent o.j. simpson. >> i don't like to second guess that type of a hearing, generally speaking the odds are low for success. >> he got a new fresh start at this. and if it did happen, how does he go about this a second time around to get himself in better position. >> if he gets a new trial it doesn't mean he will go home either. he may have to present new facts to his benefit and doesn't seem like many facts will help.

if he wins, it may not help him at all. >> what is his life like in prison in >> he's gained a lot of weight and i am not sure what he's doing on a day on day basis. o.j. simpson was a national hero and i am sad about the tragic case. but the other legal point was he from my colleagues point. was he punished too hard as a result of the perceived injustice in case number one? not sure what played out here. i told steve, if he was charged when he was o.j. simpson, and beloved figure with that set of facts of breaking in the hotel room. it does seem to the fact of being acquitted. it was like he got a second

crack and why he was sentenced so severely. the judge gave him consecutive sentences and co-defendants were sentenced to news crew. this is a latest incident of someone turning to violence. stick around. and plus, the president series of speeches touting economic recovery, new claims that twice as many people have landed on food stamps in recent years as of number of jobs the administration says it's created. we'll check the facts. attention, if you used actos, byetta -- hey linda!

a visit from pope francis bringing new hope to brazil impoverished. the pontiff visiting one of the most in need slums in rio. he walked through the streets in the rain, kissing a baby, waving to the faithful and shaking their hands. his itinerary included a stop at a small chapel and visit to a home, also an event at a soccer field open to the public. a local news crew in florida finds itself under attack by one apparently unhappy viewer. the crew on the scene and cameras rolling when a woman punched a photographer in the face. this just the latest instance of someone getting violent with the press. trace gallagher is live. when we're in the field, those cameras attract interesting attention from time to time. >> reporter: and not everybody loves it, shannon. wesh is the nbc affiliate in orlando. the crew says they're not quite sure as to exactly why that woman came after them.

they were covering the shooting of a apolice officer who by the way, is going to be fine. watch this and see how she starts out. she goes after the reporter and starts going after the rest of the crew, right in the reporter is there with the microphone, trying to evade her. listen a little bit. >> i have news for you. >> reporter: i've got news for you, she hits the van and watch her, watch her. she punches the photographer right in the face. that's when police push her over there and pepper spray her. she leans against the fence right there. she was okay. they took her down later for a mental evaluation, a hold on that. the police officer who was shot, the story they were covering, is going to be fine. i want to show you what happened also in rhode island, another case of the media not being very welcomed. this woman's daughter was parentally shot at a party. the daughter was going to be okay but she turned the dogs on them and started throwing things at them. the dogs chased the reporter all

around. and then the woman came out and started throwing things at them. the reporter did sneak behind a fence. she was able to evade, elude the dogs and the woman right there. a couple of instances of how the media is not always loved, shannon. so you know, we're not always loved but i can tell you this, you know who we do love? debby mcmillan our producer at 1:00. it's her last day today. she's done a remarkable job. she's moving on to a new life. we wanted to applaud her and tell her she would never be chased by the dogs or a woman out in the field. >> she's an amazing woman. we do wish her the very, very best. i'm not sure how she felt about running that story today. maybe a little pressure from someone else who likes to see the media getting attacked by dogs? anyway, all the best to debby. trace, thank you. breaking news today on the attorney general trying to do an end run around the supreme court suggesting the obama administration could reverse a controversial ruling they just got on voting laws.

stunning new details about the benghazi terror attack and one man being described as a hero, still hospitalized after all these months. and an nfl rookie makes an incredible save before he makes it to the field. we'll tell you about his heroic actions.

fox alert for the attorney general of the united states. trying to do an end run around the supreme court as he suggests the administration could reverse a controversial ruling that could affect a dozen states. speaking for the national urban league conference, the attorney general said he'll ask a federal judge to force texas to get federal permission before changing its voting laws. only problem is, this comes after a major supreme court decision last month that prompted huge demonstrations in washington. court struck down a key part of the 1965 voting rights act. ruling that the law requires -- part of the law that requires some states to get preapproval

for voting laws were outdated and unconstitutional. today the attorney general says it's time for new rules. >> despite the court's decision, i believe we must regard this setback not as a defeat but as an historic opportunity for congress to restore and strengthen modern voting protections. >> but the attorney general is not waiting for congress, live in philadelphia, senior correspondent eric shawn on this interesting story. eric? >> reporter: u.s. attorney general eric holder is now targeting texas. he called that u.s. supreme court decision that vacated part of the 1965 voting rights act, he said it was deeply disturbing and flawed. he has now decided to take matters into his own hands, ordering department of justice lawyers to go to texas later this afternoon to start the process to try and put texas's election system under federal oversight. he did make the announcement here at the annual convention of

the national urbanen league. a part of that process of filing the papers later on would be to force texas to obtain federal approval before texas officials change their election law. the process would be under federal oversight for a decade. it is called the so-called preclearance process. the last month, after that supreme court decision, texas immediately moved to enact its new voter i.d. law but holder did not point to that as the reason for his actions. he said that there was another case in which the texas legislature was found to have intentionally discriminated against latino voters in enacting its congressional restricting plan. >> based on the evidence of intentional racial discrimination, that was presented just last year, in the restricting case of texas v. holder, as well as the history of pervasive voting related discrimination against racial minorities, that the supreme court itself has recognized, we

believe that the state of texas should be required to go through a preclearance process whenever it changes its voting laws and practices. >> reporter: holder's decision prompted a sharp reaction from some texans. the governor, rick perry accused the obama administration of doing an end run around the supreme court. perry also said, quote, once again, the obama administration is demonstrating utter contempt for a country's system of checks and balances, not to mention the u.s. constitution. texas republican senator john cornyn accused the white house of bullying his state, saying that mr. holder is enacting this, not to protect voting rights but to try and satisfy an advance a partisan political agenda. those the words of senator john cornyn. he said it will not be our last, another state that could face the same thing could be this

take it to the state level. when you let local control over the problems they have a better sense of where the need is. in some of the cases they're trying to say there's a work requirement in order to receive the food stamps which in theory is a great idea. you know how that works. there's always a way to arbitrage the system. i never have a lot of faith in those programs. >> i talked to the republican from alabama, jeff sessions, about this very problem. he said, listen, the states get the money from the feds. they don't have to match any of it for the food stamp program, pony up any of their own money but they're close toast whatever the fraud may be. there aren't really people who have the claims, about whether or not you have a job, how many members are in your household. there need to be tougher requirements on the stands. they get the money, hand it out but don't have to enforce if there's fraud or not. >> when you have it on a local level, even if you take it to municipalities, they know where the need is better.

the one size fits all program that comes from the feds doesn't acknowledge how policing is different, how the communities are different. we're seeing two people join the rolls for food stamps versus one that's finding a new job during the administration. i mean, this is the real problem. it's creating jobs, not getting more people on food stamps. when you talk to folks on the left they think it's a victory the more people you sign up for food stamps, that's feeding hungry people and that's one we to look at it. a job would be even better. >> the folks on the hill say, of course, you've talked about this, too, this is about making sure people who are in need absolutely, children and those who desperately need this get it. in america nobody should be going hungry. it's those taking advantage of the system or minimuminging it more than they should is where the concern comes in. the money isn't free. taxpayers are footing the bill. >> it's taxpayer funded. we should be focusing on finding jobs for people. that's where it should be going. i talk to ceos every day that

have jobs that they cannot fill. a lot are in technology. we are not training our kids in sign, technology, engineering and math. that starts at a younger level. if you don't teach kids to use computers, code, do math, they don't do it later. we have a dearth of jobs in the energy field as a result of what's going on in shale and frac'ing, that's a huge opportunity for our kids going forward. i'm a mom. i have a 6-year-old. i'm getting him involved in math and science at his young age. you can't leave it up to the government. they don't do a great job of that sort of thing. >> there are folks in the government that would admit the same. everything sort of stems from washington on this front. it's something republicans are talking about a number of different ways to tackle the potential work requirement. do you think these proposals will get any traction? >> i don't. i don't think they'll get a lot of attraction when you drill down on the details you see,

well, it's able bodied people who don't have dependents, it gets narrower who they would actually apply to. i don't see it getting very far. >> all right. we'll keep an eye on it. melissa, always good to see you. >> thank you. >> catch melissa weeknights 5:00 p.m. eastern time. check it out. that's on the fox business network. special agent reportedly comes here and gets ambassador stevens from his bedroom and brings him along with sean smith to this room in this safe haven, really, aside with medicine and other supplies, a big, dark windowless closet. and then outside, a locked gate. >> that was greg palkot. the full story of what happened that night still under wraps.

but chief intelligence correspondent is on it, live in washington with exclusive new details of heroism under fire. katherine? >> reporter: thank you, shannon and good afternoon. confidential sources tell fox news during the second wave of the benghazi attack, diplomatic security agent david ubben was on the roof. the first mortar missed, about 50 yards short with a second and third round direct hits. both woods and dougherty were killed with ubben nearly missing his right leg. ten months later he's still being treated at walter reed medical center in suburban washington alongside america's war-wounded warriors from iraq and afghanistan. fox news is obscuring the photo to respect his request for privacy as he remains focused on his family and recovery.

smith's mother tells fox she hopes to meet with ubben to express her gratitude. >> thank you very much for what you've done and why couldn't the government have done the same thing? i think he's a hero. he absolutely is a hero, along with the two s.e.a.l.s. there was no reason for all these people to die. >> he was also desperate that night to find the ambassador and went back into the building several times but could not find chris stevens. lawmakers want to learn more about what happened that night during congressional hearings. >> i think if we heard the survivors, including david ubben, as they walked into that room, there wouldn't be a dry eye in the place, because this is what america is all about, these are our heroes. we need to hear from them. >> reporter: sean's father, ray smith, told fox news it was a relief to know more about his son's death, even if the details

remain pretty sparse in his opinion, shannon. >> a lot of questions unanswered for those families. thank you. >> you're welcome. we have breaking news last hour on anthony weiner and the possibility more women may come forward with pictures and worse. that story plus tough new questions to his wife, just ahead. plus, a car explodes into a fireball, trapping a woman and her three children. the nfl player now credited with saving their lives, joins us, live, next. >> he got involved, saw something and reacted in a positive way. and brought good to a tough situation. >> that speaks very highly of him that he would be riding down the street, see something like that and be able to put his life on the line.

he was going way too fast. experts say there's a chance he was going double the recommended speed around that turn. the state department confirming a short time ago the death of one u.s. citizen and at least five other americans were injured, a total of 78 people killed in that crash. the driver is now under investigation. two big flames fire shot out the back, boom, boom. i was like, man, this ain't going to be good. i felt i was in the right place at the right time. >> that's tennessee titan linebacker jonathan willard describing the dramatic moments when he saw a car explode into flames. he rushed to help, pulling the mother, her three children and the family dog from the burning car. jonathan willard joins us live on the phone. congratulations to you. hats off to you. the way i've heard this story, the family didn't know initially they were in trouble and you had to alert them. what happened?

>> i think that she saw the smoke coming from the car but didn't really know it was from her car. i saw the smoke coming from her car and i tried to get her attention. it was actually me and another driver and we tried to get her attention and finally got her attention, got her to pull over. >> do you actually had to let her know there was something wrong with her car and a lot of folks when you pull up to them and tell them to pull over, everybody is skeptical. you knew she was in trouble. how did you eventually get her to pull over and h did it turn into that flaming mess we see on our tv screen? >> actually, that flaming mess was probably about five minutes after we got everybody out. but the first explosion had been

probably a minute after we got everyone out. and to actually get her attention was amazing, really, because like i said, everybody would be skeptical about pulling over on the side of like an interstate. she said that she saw us and the smoke as well. i'm guessing whenever we tried to get her attention, she realized it was coming from her car. >> a lot of folks, you know, you're driving down the highway, you see somebody's car having trouble, you might feel bad for them but not everybody stops and gets involved. why did you decide you had to intervene and get involved? >> well, the main reason that i felt like i had to get involved was because when i saw her like 30 seconds later, i saw two big fire flames coming from the

bottom of the car. i knew it was in a really, really bad situation. >> and how did you get her and the kids -- i understand there was a dog involved, too, how did they all react upon getting out of that car and then seeing what happened? >> well, the kids were devastated, saying they lost gameboys and, you know, toys, things like that that meant a lot to them. and the mother was a little devastated because she had like just been in a car accident and lost her car, probably like a month ago and then the car she owned now -- was now on fire. she was also glad that, you know, that me and the other guy stopped to help her and her

family was okay. >> it escalated so quickly once you got them pulled over and got them out. our hats off to you for getting involved, being the good samaritan, taking the time. we wish you all the best in training camp as well. we know you have a job to do. >> thank you, ma'am. >> thank you so much again, tig willard, great to talk to you. attorney general eric holder saying there may be a challenge on voting in america. what it may mean for the future. and anthony weiner and questions about his wife huma, many beginning to wonder how she was allowed to serve adviser to hillary clinton while at the same time collecting a six-figure political consult and the elsewhere. >> as we had said from the beginning, we are moving forward.

an extreme weather alert and tropical storm dorian which just formed yesterday, now getting stronger as it moves across the atlantic. chief meteorologist rick is live with details. rick? >> this is the fourth storm of the year. this is early to get to our fourth storm. it's a wave coming off of africa. you don't typically see that this early in the season as well. it's right there, a small, compact storm and sustained winds at 60 miles an hour. the next couple of days we're sure it will continue off towards the west. there's big high pressure, has nowhere to go to the north of it. it will continue to push it toward the area of the u.s. mainland, maybe eight or nine days away from now. it has some things it has to get over in order to continue to stay strengthening.

maybe by monday, tuesday of this next week it will be in towards favorable conditions for strengthening. once we get closer toward the puerto rico area and the bahamas, could be dealing with a bit of a stronger storm and then towards florida, maybe next weekend somewhere on the east coast, not out of the question, it gets into the gulf, we're too far out. the good part is we have warning an advance notice on this storm. wanted to tep you, people saying we're in hurricane season, we haven't maybe seen much. we're in our fourth storm already. here we are. this is the average of storms. september 10th is the peak of this, we're just getting ready to see the activity ramp up quite a bit. we're expecting active season. this is the storm we'll watch closely. today across the u.s., a chance for severe weather from the northern plains all the way down to the lower high plains and expect potentially some big flooding rains across areas of kansas and oklahoma. they need some rain there but we might get it too quickly today. shannon. >> thank you so much. >> you bet. questions over an aggressive

justice department push to challenge the decision on voting rights in america. this after the high court struck down a key provision of the 1956 voting rights act. critics claim it will setback minority rights. eric holder said the public and niz justice department must act. >> involved and concerned electorate can overcome any amount of money that special interests might spend in trying to shape our nation to suit their narrow vision. and it is the duty of today's justice department to continue monitoring jurisdictions around the country for changes that may hamper these voting rights. to keep taking appropriately aggressive action against any jurisdiction that attempts to hinder free and fair access to the franchise. >> mark hanna is a former aide of secretary of state john kerry and president obama. mark thiessen is a former speech writer for president george w. bush. we have two marks. i'll try to keep you both

straight here. the supreme court just decided this a few weeks ago. basically said you can't use the formula to decide that states and municipalities are doing something wrong, hurting minority voters and have to go through the extra hoops when they want to make changes and get permission from the federal government to make changes in voting schedules, procedures, places, that kind of thing. that formula was kicked up decades ago. wouldn't you want a new formula, the court threw it back to them, get this house in order. because things have changed in the last 40, 50 years. if there weren't places discriminating 40, 50 years ago, wouldn't you want to know about that? >> if they would implement new legislation that would protect minority rights this wouldn't be as much of an issue. a lot of americans were frustrated with the legal rationale the supreme court used and the effect. if it's not -- the intention isn't to discriminate but the affect will be to disenfranchise throngs of minority voters.

as the saying goes you have have the serenity to accept the things you can't change and the courage to change the things you can. eric holder is going after states that are passing the voter e.d. law which is is disenfranchising, creating new obstacles for americans to vote. and, again, even if they don't have the intention to discriminate, the effect is there and it's unfortunate that the gop strategy here instead of broadening their appeal to as many voter as possible because the demographics in america are changing, is to narrow who has the ability to vote. that's unfortunate statement about the state of the gop party. it's viability in changing america. >> let's talk about this, because texas is basically a bull having a red flag waved in front of it now. no love lost between the state folks there and the feds. the governor pushing back hard saying once again the obama administration is demonstratings system of checks and balances not to mention the u.s. constitution.

mark thiessen, does this get to a different point that obama administration seems when it likes laws to enforce them, when it doesn't like laws, when i think of doma and the employer mandate rollout, this is only going to open them up to more criticism. >> no, absolutely. and look, what they're doing here, what governor perry is doing and all these other governors are doing, they're trying to stop dead people from voting, not minority. the voter i.d. laws don't disenfranchise anybody. you nead a government issued i.d. to buy alcohol or tobacco. you need a government issued i.d. to drive a car. you need a govern issued i.d. to get into the justice department building to see eric holder to complain about voter discrimination. the idea that somehow voter i.d. laws will din enfranchise these minorities is not true. you need government issued i.d. to get public housing, in some

states you need it to get welfare and food stamps. so the idea that these laws are designed to disenfranchise people is untrue. what's happening is you've got all across the country, we've got these new laws to make it easier to vote. same-day registration, absentee ballots and all the rest. that makes fraud more possible. it's a simple common sense solution to say, look, if i have to prove who i am to get public housing or food stamps or welfare, i should have to prove who i am to vote. it's a simple thing to do and it's ridiculous for the justice department to be going after states for doing that. >> mark with a "k," the supreme court in a 2008 opinion authored by john paul stevens upheld an indiana law that said you could require people to have an i.d. to vote. he's not, you know, usually hanging out with justice scalia and others in that wing. >> the fact of the matter is, there was legal reasoning here that was employed but you know,

i think it's really rich that the people who are traditionally for a limited government, limited regulation, want the government involved in giving the issued -- government issued i.d.s on who can vote. it's not the case that we have this widespread epidemic of voter fraud happening. i know that the people that are in favor of these laws use the fact that, you know, protecting the voter, the integrity of the voting system as their rationale. here's a fact. it's more likely an american will get struck by lightning than try to commit voter fraud. this isn't affecting any elections at all. what in fact it's doing, though, taking somebody like thelma mitchell, a 93-year-old janitor that worked at the tennessee state capital for 30 years who had been cleaning that state's capitol and when she went to vote, she didn't have a birth certificate because she was delivered with the help of a midwife. she wasn't able to vote for the elected officials working a couple floors above her, a world

war ii veteran from ohio by the name of paul carroll, he's been voting in the same district for 40 years. because the department of veteran affairs u.d. doesn't have his home address on it, he was turned away from the voting booth because he might be an illegal immigrant. that is when our voting system lacks integrity when we have burdensome government regulations that republicans are asking for that will let people do the most sacred thing they do in this democracy, vote for their elected leaders. >> folks on the other side will say because it's so sacred they don't want dead people to be voting. >> that will never happen. >> i talked to the texas attorney general, greg abbott. he personally has prosecuted and overseen hundreds of these cases in texas. that's not a myth. also in a lot of these places if people aren't allowed to vote, they are allowed to cast a provisional ballot and that will count as the i.d.s are ironed out on the backside. it's not like people never get a

chance to vote in these particular cases. >> it happened in florida in 2012. 112 people were banned from the voter roles because they had mysterious sounding names. a lot of them were latino names. most of those people were actually citizens. and shouldn't have been banned from the voting -- >> there is a way to iron that out in the courts. that wasn't taken away by the supreme court. people still can pursue remedies and they are there. to act like there are not cases of fraud -- >> mark thiessen, the final word. >> mark is completely out of touch with the majority of americans, the majority of democrats, and republicans agree that voter i.d. is common sense. if you have to have a voter i.d. to get on a plane, buy a pack of cigarettes or beer, if you have have a voter i.d. to get into the justice department to see eric holder or a state capital in most cases, it's simple and

uncontroversial to show an i. djs and prove who you are and cast a ballot. that shouldn't be a controversial issue but apparently it is. >> as this conversation proves it's not over yet. we'll see how far the doj gets with this. marc with a "c," mark with a "k," thank you very much. these two are deciding to brave the brutal summer elements with temperatures so hot it melted their shoes in a cross-country walk from california to our nation's capital. they will join us live, next. plus a long lost, an iconic james bond vehicle has surfaced. how his man got his hands on what could be a multimillion dollar discovery for just a hundred bucks.

>> well, it's about four years in the making. we started this at an outback steakhouse and decided we wanted to do something really big and look for a good cause. and i don't remember who came up with the walk across america idea but once it was on the table it just stuck. up until about 2 1/2 months ago i called chris, i said, hey, it's now or never. he was on board. so here we are. >> it's an amazing thing, we've seen some of the incredible pictures you've had and heard about your journeys along the way. chris, what has it been like? brutal temperatures, you're out there on the road for hours at a time. tell us about your experience. >> it's been pretty incredible so far. we've been able to get the message out there pretty good. the biggest thing is we've met the most amake people along the way. and the outreach and the support that we've had has been incredible. that's one of the biggest things for us. >> i know it has to be

encouraging to have folks show up and bring you treats and drinks and give encouragement, signs, those kinds of things. if folks want to follow along, is there a way to keep track of your progress and show up to cheer you on. >> it's the wounded walk on facebook is our general page that everyone can follow and see the pictures of our melted shoes, busted up feet. >> tell us about the melted shoes. >> it was terrible. i'm walking and adam's actually following behind me at this point. he's asking me -- he keeps on asking me throughout the day, why are you walking so funny? he keeps on addressing it. finally at the end of the day, i'm like i'm done with these shoes, my feet are destroyed. as i'm setting my shoes down, i'm looking at them. i picked them up and i noticed the whole inside of both shoes, it look like somebody took a knife and cut diagonal on it.

>> it was time for a new pair. >> yes. >> we melted 125 degree heat through the mojave, melted our cell phone cases to our phones. we had to get new phones. we burnt holes in the balls of the -- the soles of our shoes. it's been incredible. >> i know that there is a very important driving force and a goal for you all in this. tell us about what you want people to know about our wounded warriors, how they can support you and in turn be supporting them. >> so our gofundme.com/the woundedwalk is our donation site. we want to raise awareness and as much funds as we can. our goal is if we can change one person's day it's a success. so we're trying to -- there's no ceiling on the amount we want to raise or the awareness to get out. we just want to help and let our brothers and sisters know they're not forgotten. and that, you know, they're not alo alone.

so hopefully this will help us get our story out there. >> i would imagine both of you having served know that you have brothers and sisters there in the military who are among the wounded. >> yes. >> how much does it mean to them, do you think, that you're out there doing this? >> we have one friend who lost his leg from the knee down. he's on the east coast, in and out of walter reed hospital. he's giving us crap all day. he's following our tracker. we have a gps tracker you can follow on our wounded walk website. he's always following us telling us to speed up, we're walking too slow. it's pretty neat. it's a game for him to follow us. >> when are you getting to washington, d.c.? >> our projected end date is hopefully the beginning of october. obviously that can definitely shift, you know, a little bit more to the right as far as that goes, because you can't really

put a time exactly on this, a precise time line anyways. the october sometime, yes. >> thanks again for your service to this country, this new project, again, it's the wounded walk on facebook for folks who want to keep up with you. i'm normally in washington. we'll keep track of your progress. adam and chris, thank you both. >> excellent. thank you. these men are not the only ones trying to help america's wounded warriors. today, an inspiring effort on raising funds for other wounded veterans on july 4th. we introduced you to a group of veterans, some of you you met last year and some were new to the broadcast all part of the steven spiller tunnel to tower foundation. all of them suffered traumatic injuries saerl of their service. that foundation is helping them get into specially designed smart homes and places that will help them deal with daily struggles. thanks to viewers like you, we
