it is sunday july 28th, i'm in ar alaba in for alisyn camerota. >> i'm here trying to save our country and guide it. everything he did was a phony scandal. it just upset me. >> but is the president calling these tragedies phony so he doesn't have to take responsibility. >> good morning. just in time, more mainstream media bias, one major network showing it's support for

democrats by running a miniseries just before hilary clinton's bid for 2016. is she running? we don't know. check out this trend, teens smacking unsuspected victims in the face and posting their reactions online. should they face legal trouble? we report, you decide. kids. i think i was one of the only ones that thought the milk prank was finnny. >> where they throw milk in the grocery stores. >> yeah, they just have to clean it up. >> the latest because they can post a seven second vine video. they say i'm going to slap this guy. can the police to something about it. it's like -- >> i think it's funny. it's terrible.

it's rotten. >> if it happened to you. you would be crying. >> why, i otaa. >> that's how you woke up. you were asleep. >> we have a jam packed four hours for you but we have headlines first. >> yeah, we have a fox news alert for you. two troops were killed after an ied went off in eastern afghanistan yesterday. they were member of the nato red international security resistance force. no word on what happened there. military officials have not confirmed the identity of the soldiers. three people are dead and 26 injured after a bush flips over on a busy highway in indiana. it was carrying a group of teenagers and their families home from a church retreat. it crashed and flipped over as it rounded a curve. good samaritans rushed in to

help the 40 passengers on board. >> the driver was the first one i came up on. he was bleeding pretty bad so i stole somebody's belt and got a tourniquet on his arm and started to help somebody else. >> the brakes failed as he exited the interstate. >> the new york city mayoral bid taking a hit. weiner vowed to stay despite calls for him to bow out. >> i didn't write that. >> talk about a swing of emotions, hunter leaving $1 million on the table when his wife goes into labor. he was in the lead at the

canadian open when he learned she was giving birth to their first child but the winner of the open takes home $1 million but it was a no brainer for him. >> father of the year but then he get there is and it's a false alarm. false labor. get back to the court. >> false labor. >> let's talk about this this morning. more fall out from the president saying these phony scandals in an effort to redirect the nation's discussion about where this economy is going, the president of the administration trying to talk about jobs and the economy saying we have been too distracted about the phony scandals saying what could the president be talking about? benghazi? could he be talking about the irs scandal? one thing we didn't mention was fast and furious. >> that's right. >> is he talking about that as a phony scandal. >> the president is hoping we'll all be forgetting about these

scandals. do you remember in june of last year, just before eric holder was in contempt of court there, he claims executive privilege over the documents for fast and furious. we're hearing this morning from brian terry's mother, the border agent murdered there. she is saying these scandals are not phony. take a listen to what she has to say. >> i was absolutely furious. and i'm thinking that my son was out in that desert doing his job that he truly loved. all he was doing trying to save our country and guard it and all this and this is called everything he did was a phony scandal. it just upset me. my feelings about the government is -- i'll tell you exactly how i feel. i have no trust in them whatsoever. i don't believe anything they say. to me, everything that comes out is lies. you get no truth, even if you

ask for it. >> clayton, you and i yesterday talked about you get into a room and write a speech. we'll try to change the narrative of what's going on, let's talk about the economy and somebody said let's use the term phony scandal. i bet they wish they never wrote those two words down. because anymore somebody died involving these scandals you can't call it phony. think of seal team 6 too. >> yeah, this is something they obviously vetted. they thought the mainstream media may pick up on it and we heard them reiterating the term phony scandal. so seems like they were catching on to what the administration was putting out there. >> so-called scandals. >> there's no doubt that these were talking points scripted by the white house. we heard the press secretary saying the same thing. we'll be speaking live with brian terry's mother about 20 minutes past the hour coming up

in the 7:00 hour. make sure you stay tuned for that. >> we'll also talk to karen and neil vaughn, because they reacted to the term phony scandal as well. listen to this. >> what's odd and troubling to me is he is always talking about himself in the third person. he already says washington has taken it's eye off the ball. >> as you can tell another person reacting there too. >> that's crystal wright. she is the founder of conservativeblackchick.com. she is saying is the president trying to change the conversation and distract, doesn't want to have to take responsibility for the scandals by labeling them as small times, small potatoes. take a listen to crystal wright. >> what's troubling to me is he is always talking about himself in the third person. he already says washington has taken it's eye off the ball. well the last time i looked mr. president you're commander and chief.

you're the biggest head in washington. why hasn't he been talking about jobs and economy for the last five years. your presidency is phony, no, seriously we joke about this but when does the president take responsibility for something? when things are going well which isn't often. i captured bin laden thanks to the bush policy that gore put in place after 9/11. and i just think when is the media going to wake up to this president. >> well, it's because the approval ratings for the president plummeted. >> especially with independence. >> which will be important in 2016. >> we'll talk to peter because the white house has been talking about this as this is a major economic speech this week. what new did we hear in that speech? we'll talk to peter about if this was a major economic speech surely there's new policies and a discussion about where we're going as a country. he'll be coming up in a few

minutes. also, wonder why the media is distracted in this? they're focussing on creating a hilary clinton miniseries. they're considering it in time for the 2016 election. number one, we don't know if he is running. >> no. >> apparently they don't even have a script for it yet. so we don't know if it's favorable or not favorable for the clintons. they have cast, though, hilary clinton. >> who. >> diane lane. the lovely diane lane. >> i bet people in hollywood were chomping at the bit. very often you don't get a big name from film to come over to tv but in this case, you can imagine maybe why they wanted to do that. we're not sure who will be playing bill clinton. >> but we're sure about the timing of it. it will come out in 2015, 2016. >> four part series. >> and also making the rodham movie at the same time.

they don't have an actress to play in the big screen version of it. >> diane lane has been in pretty big movies. >> what was the one with richard geir? >> unfaithful? with the snow globe and all of that. >> i don't remember. just pull out imdb. let's check in with janice in for rick with a look at our forecast this morning. >> nice to see you. i'm in the studio. i love it. we'll do it all the time i hope. we have the potential for showers and thunderstorms across the southwest. an incredible rainfall across the east coast. we have this frontal boundary on the move and we also have moisture across the atlantic streaming in so flooding potential is quite large across the mid-atlantic up toward the northeast, even parts of florida as well. yesterday parts of north carolina northwest of the

welcome back. in order to help americans navigate through obamacare call

centers have been set up throughout the country but one of the centers tried to skirt around the very insurance. it hired half the staff as part time and told employees they are responsible for paying for their own healthcare. joining me is the author of the book beating obamacare, your handbook for surviving the new healthcare law, it's betsy mccoy. nice to see you this morning. >> thank you. >> what is going on with these call centers? >> first of all, the hypocrisy of it. it says employers have a responsibility to provide health insurance unless the employer is obamacare itself. they're saying we can't afford this we're going to push workers down to part-time status. but the more important issue is the employer mandate is having this impact all across the country. you'll see that in the june federal jobs report for example almost all the jobs created were

part time jobs. that's very unusual. atypical. people are living with two or three part time jobs and no benefits instead of a full-time job that offers benefits. >> we heard about the delay. the obama administration saying we're going to give employers this opportunity for this employer mandate delay for another year. >> let's point out two things. the delay is more like a whiplash because employers really plan ahead. they're going to keep pushing workers down to part-time status. it's municipalities, community colleges, state governments. it's happening all across the country. but secondly, this delay which was announced very quitely and presented as an administrative tweak was actually a clever ploy to drive workers into the healthcare exchanges. she tried to get the nba and nfl

to convince young healthy working age people to join the exchanges which is essential to offset the cost of the very sick people in the exchanges and keep premium from spiking. >> they thought they said we weren't going to. >> no, they very much want to have as many people enrolled as possible in the exchanges. young healthy people so that the premiums won't spike more than they already have. >> so they're having trouble selling this car. it's trying to sell flood insurance to people that live in a desert. these young healthy people don't need this long list of benefits and very high premium. so they're not buying. here's what happened, though, by delaying the employer mandate about 10 million workers that would have gotten coverage on the job through their employer are between a rock and a hard place. they have to pay the penalty or go to the exchanges. what the delay does is shifts the costs from employers to joe

taxpayer. obama makes out well ploints higher -- points higher politically. >> i find it hard to believe that they're going to say i don't understand page 4 r50 of th -- 450 of it. betsy mccoy read the bill. probably the only one that will. >> it's supposed to make medicine better. turns out that may not be the case. what you need to know before you get your next check up. and david ortiz is raging mad, even smashing his bat in yesterday's game. what's behind it coming up.

american's independence and make it the country that it is today. that history some what forgotten about. >> our next guest is telling his story in their book. the founding conservatives author and professor from nyu, professor of the polytech institute. good to see you. >> thank you. >> i live on washington square park. washington so many times we hear about him and jefferson and adams but there's what you call the colonial 1%ers. >> right. they were as divided as we were today. there was a left and colonial right and history has largely forgotten this. in some ways it's deliberately down plays and only in recent years have people started talking about the conservatives and more radical sides of the revolution. the founding conservatives that

i write about, without them america would not exist as it does as a nation today. >> in a lot of ways, you say that, yes, they were wealthy, one percenters as they say. they still supported the old ways. how did they save the american revolution as you say in the subtitle. >> two ways. one way was through the victories. they were devoted to america's rights and helped them gain the most important battlefield victories. americans were fighting among themselves and i don't mean patriots. i mean among people that believed in america and independence, radical and conservatives were fighting each other. >> let's learn their names. john dickenson who was he? >> the second most famous man. he was known as the penman of the american revolution amade i

the united states of america. >> he came up with united states of america. >> he wrote the articles of confederation. >> it's weird that we don't hear about them often. you're actually a liberal but doing a bit of research you have respect for these conservatives. what do you mean? >> i have a large amount of respect. people vote with their families. my family is largely democratic but after talking about what they stood for and sacrifices they made for the country, a lot of people i talk to think i'm deeply conservative also. it's respect for tradition and understanding that one thing leads to another. you shouldn't just throw out the old and hope that the new will be any better. that's what they believed in. >> so look into it folks. i mentioned robert morris. he got himself a university out of it. but james wilson is another name that is very important. so go look it up. >> tell your kids about it.

and north carolina you could be dealing with the threat for flooding today. across the southwest they have been dealing with flash flooding as well. it's the monsoon season. that's when they typically get their moisture for the year but a lot of moisture in a short period of time can lead to flooding. look at parts in the central u.s. where you can get several inches of rain. three to four inches across parts of kansas in to nebraska and oklahoma. this is what they have seen over the last 48 hours. they need the rain. we're into a severe drought but not so much of a good thing in such a short period of time. we'll keep you up to date on the flooding and i see a lot of goodies out here for later on. lots of yummy food items. i'm glad i picked today to fill in for rick. >> we didn't have any food on the show yesterday. lucky you janice. nice to see you. technology, i love technology, it's supposed to make medicine better we're

you're absolutely right about that. there's two reasons. one is that congress has effectively become irrelevant in the making of american foreign policy. the other, more important is that the president has, over the decades, since world war ii accumulated more and more power. so that on an issue of war, he can effectively do what he wants when he wants. for example, if the president of the united states went on television tonight and said that he has decided to get into syria, to bomb syria, to send american troops there, no one can stop him. that becomes strictly an american presidential decision. congress is out of the picture. the courts are out of the picture. >> but marvin, that is president as king. that's president as king. >> well, the whole thing that has changed is we are now living in a president centric political

environment. everything rotates around the president. what he says, what he does. we were having a balance set of authority in the u.s. but since world war ii, gradually, we have come into a time when the president is supreme. he's like an old fashioned european monarch. he now has his own army and he can do what he wishes. >> dangerous. let's talk about what is going to happen tuesday. palestine and israel talking hopefully. in d.c. we're trying to bring people together. how much security should we provide in that part of the world? >> well, i tell you, one of the great things in the front part of it in this book was to try to explore exactly what would become america's responsibility if they should get together. it will be in two ways. first, the united states is more than likely going to have to provide a treaty of security for israel and second, is going to

have to put american troops into what is now called the west bank to separate the them from the israelis and allow them to develop the idea of independence. >> boots on the ground in the west bank, how will that fly do you think? >> i think at this particular time what president clinton said and what president george w. bush said when the idea was put to them. if you get a deal between the isra israelis and the palestine, congress will go with it. the president is ready to move in that direction but first he's going to have to insist beginning this tuesday that both sides will have to come together. if they do, they can then kouco on the united states to provide the military support and diplomatic umbrella under which this all happens. >> are you optimistic?

>> no. no. however i have to say this is the best chance that we have all had in a long time to move this terribly tragic problem to some kind of solution. it may not happen. nothing is guaranteed in the middle east but it's possible. >> we'll see what happens starting tuesday marvin. always great to see you. thank you. >> thank you. >> new technology is supposed to make medicine better, right? wrong. what you need to know before you get the next check up. and the sequester grounded air shows across the country this summer but one of the nation's largest will go on this week despite cut backs but there is a catch. we'll tell you what the catch is.

caused public panic that it might be linked to autism. many parents stopped getting their children vaccinated but the study is fraudulent but it's difficult to see what parents think about it and get children vaccinated. >> so your advice is? >> go ahead and get vaccinated. >> good. hormone replacement therapy. this has been used for years for postmenopausal women. >> estrogen protects your heart from cardiovascular disease. doctors have been prescribing it for years in order to help their heart but not only does it not help, it increases the risk. >> how about this, catheters, these are something threaded into the heart and the lungs and the veins. it sounds dicey to me and it

could be. >> it is, you're exactly right. risks of this procedure, you enter into the big veins of your neck and chest and goes through your hearts and your lungs and helps with diagnosis and treatment. it can be injury to major vessels and even death. you would hope that the risks would be outweighed by the benefits but issustudies have shown -- >> why are we doing it. >> we have not properly investigated it until recently. >> finally, coronary angioplasty. seems like it would be good to prevent a new blockage. >> it makes sense, put a stint in there. study versus shown that the out comes are no different than when you treat it with medical management which means just swallowing pills for coronary disease when it's stable. >> it's almost like buying a new

car when you don't need one. >> the new model seems sleek and great. you would never trade it in if it wasn't safe. >> we need to do research. >> yes, make sure you're on top of things and have a good discussion with your physician. >> thank you so much. >> thank you. >> 56 minutes after the hour on your sunday morning. a lot of outrage after the president called the scandal surrounding his administration phony. among those, the family of border agent brian terry. he was killed by guns linked to fast and furious. his mother will be joining us in the next hour. and an iconic picture from ground zero almost didn't make it in the museum because it was too patriotic. how is that even pollabssible? we'll explain that. thankfully e-trade has low cost investments and no hidden fees. but, you know, if you're still bent on blowing this fat stack of cash, there's a couple of ways you could do it. ♪

congress has been ddisstrakted these phony scandals. he wants to get the nation back on the right path. raising questions why this is the ninth time we're talking about the economy. we'll focus on jobs now. is it because of the sagging approval ratings? >> especially among independents the numbers are going down for the president. but when i first heard this term phony scandals i knew it was not a good idea. not a good phrase. i meant this scandal over here. if you lump in all of the scandals, some people died involving a couple of these scandals. you can't say that's phony. >> we don't know which ones they are. they have not answered this. this will be another further distraction later this week. >> that's the danger of the phrase. are you talking at fast and furious? brian terry's mom had this reaction to it. >> as you said, he keeps

pivoting it's just spreading in circles this past five years but his latest pivot are because his poll numbers are plummeting. it's all due to the phony scandals as he calls them. people have obama fatigue at this point. they're tired of this. every week it's something else. it's another abuse of power so his numbers are falling. the problem is the polls also show that 56% of americans disapprove on his performances on the economy. >> that's emily miller there from the washington times. >> yeah. >> we'll be talking to brian terry's mom in a little bit on the show, but these polls, how are things going today? look at this fox news poll. now, yes, 35%, no, 63%. that's down significantly from april. >> plus the result of scandal fatigue. your numbers will start to go down. >> yeah. >> so you got to change the -- what we're talking about. it wants to go back to talk

about the economy. >> also and we'll talk to meter about this, an economist on the show. they know the budget battles are coming and they have this debate among the massive budget battle. we'll be talking budget and sequestration. so the administration is trying to get out in front of that. >> as we're starting to see a lot of people in washington and even the irs, we don't want to be part of obamacare and trying to pull themselves out of that and be granted some sort of exception. you start to see the public also realizing maybe this obamacare affordable care act thing isn't so high. >> we talked about the deal some of the unions around the country want to keep their current health plan. we talked about members of the union that work for the irs want their current health plan. there's a campaign to sell obamacare. let's set up a call center, please, let's keep working toward obamacare but they're apparently hiring part-time call

center workers, why? >> so they won't have to pay them and pay for their healthcare. >> and they're forcing them to pay for their own healthcare. remember how complicated this law is. so if you're a small business owner you're going to call this call center like you would call apple care for help on your i pod. on page 53 here do have to do x, y, and z and you'll have a part-time employee. most of them will be part-time, probably college kids who i can't imagine are going to understand this law any better than members of congress will trying to answer your questions. we had betsy mccoy on early in the show. she has written a book on obamacare. this is what she had to say about it. >> the hypocrisy of it. the obama health law says employers have a responsibility to provide health insurance for their workers unless the employer is obamacare itself. so the call centers are saying we can't afford this. we're going to push our workers down to part-time status. but the more important issue here is that the employer

mandate is having this impact all across the country. people have to live with two or three part-time jobs and no benefits instead of a full-time job that offers benefits. >> it's going to affect everybody trying to call the call centers and have potentially inexperienced people in the call centers trying to help them but also the small business owners are going to more than likely have to hire a lot of part time employees as well rather than full time so they don't have to pay for that either so they can keep the doors open. >> there's one silver lining. this call center isn't based in india like most of the call centers. it will be in california. that's one silver lining. >> let's check in with janice dean this morning who is watching the weather all across the great country of ours. >> hello. taking a look at some of the temperatures. temperatures 20 degrees below average over the upper midwest and great lakes. 53 in minnesota. 54 currently in chicago. even new york 72 where a week

it really about jobs? here is economist and professor at the university of maryland. peter. thanks for being here. >> nice to be with you. >> we didn't hear anything new and it was supposed to be a big economic speech but it sounded to me from reading and will being to it for an hour was the same thing we heard him say on the campaign trail. furthermore, it sounded like a lot of what we heard we needed to have in the similar stimulus. >> exactly. we had it under the bush administration and now the first obama term and we got out of that about 2% growth. over the last three quarters since around the time of the election growth has been cut in half to 1%. i mean, clearly these kinds of policies don't work put there's a political agenda here. for example, healthcare as we

know is destroying full time jobs. the number of full time employees is actually declining. but yet he promises people cheap healthcare through that. it may be a pipe dream but it destroys jobs. it pays off his political pals to support his campaign but investments in? it's hard to call 20 broken energy projects an investment in manufacturing. >> tell me if i'm wrong here peter but the way i read it was this was the administration trying to frame this debate a little bit ahead of the big budget battles it sees coming toward the end of the summer and the fall of this year. we'll have to relitigate a lot of them again. am i wrong here? >> he's setting himself up for big confrontation over raising the national debt ceiling. with the economy slowing he is trying to position himself saying i got my growth agenda. the republicans have another agenda. since i didn't get my growth agenda twhy we're tipping

into recession again. he is doing what mr. obama does best. blame someone else. the first term it was blame mr. bush. the second term it's blame the republican congress. this is the alibi president. >> but now meanwhile the administration saying thing versus turned around. they turned a corner but we asked our viewers in a fox news poll do you see any signs the economy is turning around or turning a corner and it feels like or looks like according to this poll that that's down from last year. 57% is down from 58%. doesn't seem like moods out there are changes up. >> they shouldn't be. since the beginning of the year we destroyed 97,000 full time jobs while we created over 800,000 part time jobs. the rate of jobs growth, just the enumeration is bigger than it has been and the reason is businesses are essentially replacing full time employees with part-time employees. you don't have to pay them

benefits or get involved in obamacare. you have your thumb on them and they have little job security and leverage. the bankers are paying themselves record bonuses. pay is going up 15 to 20% a year while the average guy gets less. what confounds me is my students and young people not being able to get that first job out of college can still continue to support this guy with all his wild promises. let's face it. look at who he has advising him. how many good economists does barrack obama know? >> well, you're a phone call away peter. i don't know if you're free during the week. >> oh i would talk with him. >> call peter. he has some answers. economist and professor at the university of maryland. always great having you on the show peter. >> take care. i hope that was okay. >> it was great, thank you. >> coming up on the show, border agent brian terry died from a gun linked to fast and furious and this morning, his mom

>> i think we may have already reached the tipping point. the president with his phony scandal comment is just off the wall. we at the brian terry foundation are looking for justice as is the terry family. you know, the inspector general had a report out about a year ago that found eric holder had no knowledge of fast and furious in the beginning. but they did note that 14 of the people in the administration did know in the atf what was going on and we would like to know as a beginning, what happened to those 14 people. are they still working with the atf? are they -- have they been relocated? have they been promoted? that's the number one question i have on my mind among dozens of other questions. >> people can't forget about your nephew and your son, brian terry, and everything that he went through and everything that you guys are going through. what answers are you looking for

from the president now josephine? >> i'm looking for who was accountable for this fast and furious thing that happened that killed my son. how come they're not brought to justice? how come nobody is standing accountable. i think my son deserves that. i feel like they did throw him underneath the bus too. >> josephine, thank you so much for your time today. ralph, you as well. and we'll continue to follow your story. >> we appreciate your support. thank you. >> thank you. >> have a great day. 26 minutes after the hour this sunday morning. well, thousands of america's heros are recovering in hospitals without their loved ones by their side. there's an organization setting out to change that to lift the spirits of our wounded warriors. plus before you get behind the wheels this morning, you want to hear this, the city with the worst drivers. that's coming up next.

then goes back and forth 25 times. it's like austin powers in that hallway scene where he is trying to go back and forth. we could have been in the restaurant 45 minutes ago. >> a lot of people don't have to do it. >> it is hard. >> there's a great line in a woody allen movie where she is so far from the curb she said i'll take a cab from here to the curb. we are news headlines to get to this sunday morning. the driver of a boat that slammed into a construction barge on the hudson river friday is under arrest this morning charged with vehicular manslaughter. police believe he may have been drunk when they crashed sending a bride-to-be and best man overboard. authorities pulled a woman's body from the river yesterday that matched the description of 30-year-old lindsey stewart. the best man is presumed to be dead. >> friends came to pick them up by boat. where they were going, i don't

know. >> stewart's fiancee and three others suffered head injuries. the couple was set to marry in just two weeks. the driver of the train that derailed in spain killing nearly 80 people including an american woman will appear before a judge today. he is being held on suspicion of reckless homicide. he refused to answer any questions from police. this comes as we learn he may have been on his cell phone at the time the train ran off the track. >> the faa is collecting $45 for each of the 10,000 planes participating in wisconsin's biggest air show. air traffic control services. pilots already pay for air traffic control through fuel taxes. organizers petitioned for a refund. the agency blames bundget cuts. they grounded the jet and administration teams over the

cuts. >> also this morning, if you want a comfortable stay at jail you can have that if you pay for it. the city of fremont california is offering inmates that want to avoid the rough county jail life a quiter stay with hgtv and game tables. but it's $150 a night. the $10 million taxpayer funded facility was previously sitting empty so the cash strapped city is using the pay to stay jail to help raise revenue. >> 155 a night. >> 155 a night. they say it's a win win for everybody. >> you can get netflix and hook up to netflix and get through the seasons of gossip girl. >> orange is the new black, that's a great show on netflix as well. >> yeah it's about women in prison. >> that's right. their little jump suits. let's take a look at the weather shall we? we're into the upper 70s today. a little humid. we have a cold front pushing through that's going to bring us showers and thunderstorms but

will drop the humidity tomorrow and you can see the potential where we're going to see some flooding across new england an even into the southeast. four corners also dealing with showers and thunderstorms in your forecast. you've seen that over the last several weeks. it's the monsoon season and incredible amounts of rain across the central u.s. they need the rainfall however it's a lot of rain in a short period of time. we could see flash flooding unfortunately. 69 in chicago. 20 degrees below average in some of the areas in the midwest and great lakes. 72 in cleveland. still warm across the south. if i could, i want to point out we're still tracking tropical storm flossi making a line toward hawaii. if it makes land fall as a tropical storm it will be the first time on record we had a tropical storm making land fall across hawaii bringing heavy

rain and strong winds. we'll keep you up to date on flossie, what a name. put your hands together for the lovely flossie. now over to mark. >> what a name. when joshua lopez was severely injured in afghanistan and placed at walter reid medical center his family would rarely get a chance to visit him because they lived 3,000 miles away but one organization changes all of that. they organize flights for military families to visit their wounded loved ones in the hospital no matter where they are in the country. even 3,000 miles away. joining us is the ceo and hero in my mind and along with him is jessica lopez the mother of u.s. marine corporal lopez. first of all jessica, how is your son? >> hi, good morning. he is doing quite well, thank you. excuse me. he has gone through a lot but

these days he is recovering very well. very strong minded and pushing himself to get forward, thank you. >> i said i mentioned that he was injured severely in afghanistan. one leg very mangled. the other one had to be amputated. over 40 surgeries. you live in california. could you afford -- i mean you have many children and a husband. could you afford to fly and see him if it wasn't for luke's wings? >> absolutely not, sir. they have been a true blessing working as hard as they do to bring the families together with their loved ones and be supportive and help them get through this tragic time in their lives. absolutely not. i'm very grateful for their existence and hard work. >> we are too. fletcher, i want to hug you. what a great idea. i guess -- i set it up properly? that's what you have been providing. hundreds and hundreds, maybe over 1,000 flights over the last five years.

where did you get the idea? >> i had lunch with a friend in silver spring near walter reid and he smenshe mentioned to me experience having met the wounded warriors and i thought these heros need to have their families with them and knowing the cost of flights and understanding that our wounded warriors recover for three, maybe even four or five years, the cost of flights is one of the most expensive process for them and if we can make sure they have their family and friends and loved ones by their side throughout the process it's good for everybody. we said let's start booking some flights. so we did and we have done a little bit more than 1,400 airplane tickets in and out of 12 military hospitals that we serve today. we also provide flights to the special operations command for

our wounded special operations forces and we have a new program through the assisted living federation of america to provide end of life flights for our world war ii veterans which is special these days. >> and fletcher doesn't have a military connection but just a great heart. thank you for being with us. our best to joshua and the rest of your children. all her kids and have husband has been able to fly that 3,000 miles. fletcher thank you for being with us this morning. the best to you always. >> thank you. >> the man that killed 13 soldiers at fort hood says the u.s. military is at war with islam. one of the victims that was shot seven times is here to respond to those outrageous allegations. >> plus, what in the world is this guy doing and does he really think he's going to shimmy out the window on sheets? we'll explain that video in just a little bit.

. 45 minutes after the hour now and quick headlines for you. they say there's nothing worse than a woman scorned. >> well, this guy's wife so annoyed with him she locked him inside their bedroom. he tried to escape using bed sheets as you saw there but his plan obviously failed miserably when the homemade rope breaks and he falls out of the window. that's awful. nasa is working on ways to get to space on the cheap. the space agency is testing rocket parts made from 3-d

printers. researchers say they work as well as traditionally made parts. if all goes well it could make space travel cheaper and more efficient. >> print out some bed sheets for that guy. well, the army psychiatrist charged in 2009 of the deadly mass shooting at fort hood is saying that the u.s. government is at war with islam. in a statement to fox news hasan claimed his military service was inconsistent with his religious believes. he said my complicity was on behalf of a government that only acknowledges it's hate for alaah to be supreme law of the land. i participated in it. he was shot and survived the massacre and joins us this morning with his reaction. nice to see you this morning. your reaction to hasan's comments to fox news. >> well, the reaction he made is an embarrassment and

disrespectful to our country as a whole and also to all men and women in uniform and by him saying what he was saying about not wanting to serve, he was given two opportunities prior to the fort hood shooting to re-sign his commission and he did not. that's when he played the race card. so there again, he is using this trial as a platform to, in my opinion, to rally others just like him to try to do things that are not in the correct manner toward our united states government. >> let's talk about we're in a war zone. this is what he is arguing. when the united states army or military goes into a particular muslim country that we then are at war with those muslims. we are at war with islam. address that concern because your thoughts on this are fascinating and we need to hear them. >> first of all, we're not at war with islam and when we go

into islamic countries what he failed to bring out is all of the millions and millions of dollars that we have given countries in humanitarian aid. his job, not only was he supposed to serve military service members but also service the local population. when we go into a country, we're not the type of people that go in and destroy. we go in and rebuild. we help reshape nations and what he is saying is a lie because in all the countries that we have gone in that are muslim, we have not gone in those countries to destroy. we have gone to help strengthen their infrastructure of their government to help them come up to the global standard in the education system. in every other aspect that a normal country would be in their world today. >> you an interesting take on why he is doing this now and saying the things.

he can't take the insanity plea. he was perfectly sane when he went about this massacre, wasn't he? >> absolutely. what major hasan is doing is trying to get sympathy for the deeds he did. he is playing a game. as stated before he is very intelligent and he already knows that the end is near. so when you start feeling that feeling of doom, then therefore he is trying to do anything that he can to avoid the death sentence. >> yeah, he maintains his innocence here as he has said that he wants to repent to all mighty allah. we appreciate you joining us this morning as the fort hood shooting victim. who better to have a perspective on this than you. sergeant, thanks so much. >> you're welcome, sir. >> coming up here on the show, a massachusetts couple nearly

all right. let's talk about the phony scandals as the president has framed it this week in the administration. we now know someone in the administration, they must have had a meeting and said let's get out there and talk about the economy and talk about jobs and we have to make sure the american public understands that all of these scandals that have been plaguing us have been a distraction and all been phony and now we're hearing from the parents that some of the scandals have affected. >> you feel leak their children have been trampled on. >> some of it involves somebody losing their lives. you can't use the word phony. the obama administration will be more specific about which ones they were talking about but i'll bet they never used that phrase. >> they want to switch it. the parents of those killed in fast and furious and of course, in benghazi. >> right. >> wanted to say everything

>> all these questions. all these questions about all of these scandals and fast and furious, these parents still don't have answers to. benghazi, we still don't have answers. >> s.e.a.l. team 6. >> we'll talk to the parents of a s.e.a.l. team 6 member killed at 9:15 this morning. nsa scandal. we still don't have answers as to what data they're holding. the irs scandal. the list goes on and on. >> you almost forget how many there have been. so the question we're asking this morning, is the president calling these tragedies phonies to say look at the shiny thing over here and divert attention rather than taking responsibility for it and, you know, is the media going to be holding them accountable? >> they're helping them to set fatigue. people are tired of hearing some of these stories and that's why it's so important for some news outlets and to keep the focus some of them that need important

answers. >> that's another problem. if it looked like the administration was trying to deal with them and get to the bottom of all of them, i think we could be more accepting of them. >> christine is the founder of the website, conservativeblackchick.com, she thinks they're trying to distract. >> what's odd and troubling to me is he's always talking about himself in the third person. you know what he said in the economic speech. washington has taken its eye off the ball. the last time i looked, mr. president, you're commander in chief. you're the biggest head of washington. why has he been talking about jobs and the economy for the last five years. i would argue, mr. president, your presidency is phony. no, seriously, we joke about this, but when does he take responsibility for something. when things are going well, i captured bin laden, thanks to the bush policies that were put in place after 9/11, and i just think like you said, when is the media going to wake up to this president? >> you know what? i think a lot of the americans

think that congress has taken their eye off the ball, you know? >> let's get back to talking about the economy and all of the people that are still out of work and also get to the bottom of the scandals. we can do both. >> it doesn't help the public to get a fair and balanced sense of the issues when the mainstream media is typically in bed with president obama. and here's another case in point that the -- and the timing is -- >> we don't know if hillary clinton will run for president. that would be breaking news, i think, but nbc is going to launch a mini series called presumably "hillary." they don't have a script yet. they do have an actress that will play hillary and that is diane lane. she was most recently in "man of steel." she's beautiful. >> she'll play hillary clinton and we don't know if it will be a favorable look.

we think it will start in 1998 so right after the impeachment proceedings. >> right after the stand by your man -- sound bite, as well. >> so the story will go from her life from '98 to now. >> i know what you're ngithinki mike. we'll hear something about benghazi in there. >> when was the monica lewinsky years? that was before -- >> '96 -- >> '98 was the impeachment. don't go before that? that would be compelling television if they told that story during the monica lewinsky. >> nbc doing that and we also know there will be a major motion picture called "rodham." >> that's before she became -- >> right before 2016 run and obviously, i don't know, trying to drum up support for her as a candidate. >> i know she's not running. >> did you see the poll that was out thursday where she's 40 point ahead of vice president biden -- >> oh, wow!

>> both people having not announced they were running. >> we're already taking polls. >> we'll hand it out for a look at the weather. good morning. >> good morning. let's talk about cold front, shall we? >> if you live in the upper midwest and great lakes. the temperatures are 20 degrees below average in some cases. take a look at 50s in minneapolis, 58 in cleveland. that is a cold front, my friends, for the end of july. really incredible. look at chicago, today you'll struggle to get out of the 60s and heading into monday at 79 and we're back to average as we head through the workweek. in some cases we set some overnight records. let's look at satellite imagery. across the west, still dealing with monsoon moisture in the southwest. so the potential for flash flooding will continue throughout the day today and into the new workweek and the new cold front that's plowing across the east coast and bringing the temperatures down and also bringing incredible amounts of rain especially north and west of we

welcome back. with dwindling poll numbers on the economy and his popularity, president obama's attempting to reclaim the advantage he once had in washington, but did he take a step backwards when he said this this week. >> over the past couple of years in particular particular washington has taken its eye off the ball. an endless parade of distractions of political posturing and phony scandals, shift focus from what needs to be done, and as washington prepares to enter another budget debate, the stakes could not be higher. the choices we make now will determine whether or not every american has a fighting chance in the 21st century. >> let's bring in chris wallace. chris, just two small words, phony scandals. >> they've certainly gotten repeated a lot, mike, and good morning to all of you. not only to president and repeated speeches this week, but also some of his top officials including his spokesman jay

surveilling americans. you know, i don't think there's anything phony about all of them. you can argue the merits of them. four people died in benghazi. hundreds of conservative groups were targeted by the irs. that's without any contradiction. so i'm not sure i understand what's phony about them, but we'll see. i agree with you, the president wouldn't have said this if it hadn't been poll tested or if there hadn't been a focus group and i'll bet the argument he's trying to make and maybe it's punishful thinking, where washington or the public will lose interest in the stories and he can change the fair tnarrati which is what they want to do which is talking about the economy and growing the middle class. >> senate republicans are threatening to shut down the government if democrats don't agree to stop funding obama care. what do you think jack lew will say about that today? >> we will talk to senator mike

leigh about that and jack lew about that as well. i have to say this, it's not all republicans. some republicans, in fact, there's a big split inside the republican party. mike leigh, a tea party favorite from utah. if you oppose obama care you have to stop funding it. there are a lot of republicans who say it's just a band-aid because any kind of government funding only would last a year so you wouldn't be killing obama care. you would just be delaying it and they also think it's the kind of issue that they'll get beaten up over by the froms that he'll say, hey, the republicans wanted to shut down the government or send the country into default about a law that has been passed and that has been ratified by the supreme court and they think it could cost them the house and/or the senate. so we'll be talking with jack lew and senator mike leie at th top of the hour. >> perhaps it was a distraction for them to go after obama care.

happens. it's the sand hitting the blades and the sun shining through it create these halos. first i want you to meet benjamin kopp's mom jill. thank you for being on "fox & friends" this morning. named after your son, this effect, does it give you any comfort now? >> it gives me a lot of comfort. a lot of comfort. >> did i explain it pretty well? has michael, the photojournalist who knew your son? has he explained it to you, how it happens, that halo? >> i've read the explanation for it, yes. >> it's just gorgeous. it truly looks like it's an angel. >> it does. it's beautiful. what i see in it even four years later is the beauty in the tragedy, how we can -- the way that we perceive things and the way that we look at them to find the beauty and the tragedy is what helps us survive and that continues four years later for

me. >> it's another way of never forgetting benjamin. tell me what you miss most about him. >> his presence. his physical presence. he was so loving and such a funny guy to be around and so much fun. the physical presence, most definitely. his spirit is all around me all of the time. >> jill, we have finally been able to hook up with skype with michael the photojournalist who was taking these images. can you hear me all of the way in new york city? >> i can hear you. he's in thailand, by the way, half way around the world. when you take the shutter shot and you look, oh, my gosh, it's a halo. what causes it? >> nobody really knows what causes it. people have seen these for many years especially in deserts and that sort of thing, but nobody really knows what causes it. after my photos camity on which are the most spectacular that have come out as far as i know

because that area happened to be something about the soil. it was very light and so a couple of scientific themes from the uk and the u.s. asked for those images to study them and so, anyway, i shot those images which is one of the most dangerous areas of afghanistan at the time and it was quite -- quite interesting. >> so now what causes this? it could affect how these black hawks fly. you wouldn't get this image in iraq as well or kuwait or any place where there's sand? >> oh, yeah. you can get it in the united states and all over the world. anybody that's spent much time in the desert, in combat like three years, or three years with soldiers, you will see thousands of helicopters take off and land. thousands. >> but i just never saw it like

that, the helicopter got shot down a month before on final approach and as you get to the ground it just lights up. it obviously makes it an easy shot. >> with us here by satellite is ben's mom jill. she says she gets comfort from that and it must make you feel good. >> oh, yeah. i mean, it's always a pleasure to meet jill. jill, obviously is an incredible mother to raise a young ranger like ben who then after he died. he didn't really die. he gave his organs up and saved a woman's life. rangers are hard to kill. he inspired all over the world. >> hey, jill, have you stayed in contact with the woman that your son by donating his organs saved her life? >> yeah. i received a text from her just

this morning. she told me to break a leg in the interview. hi, judy. >> you're doing just fine, jill. >> real quickly here. tell me about your son's love of helicopters especially the black hawks. >> oh, my gosh. that love was born from the movie "black hawk down." he took a liking to that, great admiration for those helicopters. so much so to the point that when he filled out his paperwork prior to going to afghanistan on that final deployment his final wishes included a black hawk flyover for his funeral. a very over the top request and unusual for a young corporal, but that was my son, you know, he wasn't afraid to ask for that and by golly, he got it, thanks to the rangers, of course. >> that was great. jill, thank you. i hope to meet you some day. >> michael, thank you for your beautiful, beautiful work. that was nice. >> thanks for having me on and it's good to hear from jill. >> you got it.

continues to move across the east coast and we could see the potential for showers and thunderstorms from new england down towards florida, across the southwest and that's where we're seeing showers and thorps, as well and look at portions of kansas and nebraska where they could see also the potential of inches of rainfall. sorry, my maps are misbehaving today. there we go as we head into monday and tuesday, we could see six inches so we'll keep you posted on that. speaking of food and eating and these are healthy foods, right, ana? >> it's very important to spread on sun block and you're always good about telling us that when the sun will be strong or put a hat on, but there are foods that can protect you against uva and uvb rays, as well. we have donna james, founder and director of foodcoachnyc. >> a food coach. i've heard of life coach, and now there are food coaches. is that a new thing? >> first up, we have tomatoes

think of watermelons. >> thank you so much and we'll continue to put on the sunscreen, as well. don't mind if i have these, too. coming up, the summer of sequels continue as "red 2" hits theaters this weekend. we'll talk to the stars, anthony hopkins and bruce willis next. when we made our commitment to the gulf, bp had two big goals: help the gulf recover and learn from what happened so we could be a better, safer energy company.

all right. it's weekend time and that means movie time. a fresh crop of films made their way to theaters this weekend. which ones should you be spending your money on? kevin, always great to be with you. i'm always talking to you via satellite. we did not want you in the studio and we had to get you outside. let's talk about a bunch of movies "red 2." >> a huge movie made over $200 million worldwide. it's anthony hopkins, but for me

anthony hopkins is was in the second one, the "red one," with helen mirren with the machine gun, she's putting two guns out of the window and shooting bad guys and i had tears streaming down my face. this was an incredible action movie, it was a little bit slow, but it delivered the action movie with the brain. it had the witty script, john malokov itch is hilarious. i gave and a half out of five. i had the chance to sit down with bruce willis and anthony hopkins paired together and i was stuttering like crazy and i said what if bruce willis could have tried out one of anthony hopkins' iconic roles and vice versa? here's what they had to say. >> i think it's beyond. i'm daunted -- >> oh! >> i'm daunted by that. >> i'm not die hard. >> i could do a great john

mclane. >> that's a great one. >> could you have kept a secret? >> i was fantastic. >> the biggest surprise. >> tried one of his for a day. try it. >> you know which one it would be. >> "silence of the lambs." yeah. >> no, just his relationship with jody. that was just palpable. >> it was so cool. hannibal and john mclane and it was so cool. the nerd in me loves the comic book movies. one movie i haven't had a chance to see is "wolverine." the sequel to the first wolverine film. the first one was a dud in my mind.

pummels "x-men origins." >> it's the first time a single actor has played a comic book hero. >> and wolverine is about to meet up an acquaint nance and gets involved in a conflict and hugh jackman plays a great vulnerability in this character. he's in a bullet train going 300 miles per our and it's my favorite action scene, and it was one of the coolest action scenes i did. he had tears streaming down his falt and he was crying on top of the train. once it hits the middle and it goes downhill a little bit and it was much better than wolverine origins. skip the 3. it absolutely is atrocious. see it in 2d and save yourself $3 and stay after the credits and there is a very special scene that sets up the next "x-men" film. >> all of those always have the last scene.

>> kevin mccarthy, always great to see you. >> nerd tears.com. >> sending your child off to war and it's a heart wrenching task many american parents face and that's what happened to a member of the fox family. john scott just sent his son off to afghanistan for nine months. he is here next with that story. we'll be right back. my mantra? always go the extra mile. to treat my low testosterone, i did my research. my doctor and i went with axiron, the only underarm low t treatment. axiron can restore t levels to normal in about 2 weeks in most men. axiron is not for use in women or anyone younger than 18 or men with prostate or breast cancer. women, especially those who are or who may become pregnant and children should avoid contact where axiron is applied as uneected signs of puberty in children or changes in body hair or increased acne in women may occur. report these symptoms to your doctor. tell your doctor about all medical conditions and meditions. serious side effects could include increased risk of prostate cancer; worsening prostate symptoms;

there you are. 53 minutes after the hour. there are 66,000 u.s. troops currently serving in afghanistan. and though the war is drawing to a close, military families across america are still seeing their loved ones deployed to war. >> john scott is a member of a military family for sure. his son joshua, wow, wednesd wednesday --

>> yeah. >> left for afghanistan. >> yeah. yeah. >> is he part of the big red one. >> go, baby. >> good to see you. >> good to see you, man. >> you wrote a really touching account of seeing your son both at west point. seeing the time your son was serving there. you saw different moods and you wanted to come out at the top of the peace and emphasize. look, my son isn't any more important than any other son or daughter going off to war. . >> right. and that's the point. i'm happy to have this platform to mention to folks that people are still deploying. i mean, as you said, we've got 70,000 almost over in afghanistan right now. and we've got troops in south korea and germany and other places. and only about 1% of the american public, american families have someone actually serving these days. >> remember when occupy wall street, 1% was such let's pay attention to the 1% that matters. >> you talk about -- i think it

was fascinating we talk about west point. your thoughts on that. you saw two different moods at the graduation ceremony. describe that. >> well, actually, at the deployment ceremony. >> deployment ceremony. >> when my son left. the soldiers seem to be actually pretty pumped up. they have trained for this. this is what they do. they're going over to afghanistan to do the jobs, the work they are trained for. and by and large most of them seem ready to do it. you know, i got an e-mail from another west point graduate, long ago graduate who said it's tougher on the family and really, i think it is. >> this is -- your first born. >> you're saying this from third person. but hugging a handsome boy. >> that was the day we dropped him off. that was actually harder for me than watching him deploy. i don't know why because west point, you know, it's a college. >> six years ago? >> six years ago.

>> talk about, i'm curious the comradery among the military families. you talk about that 1%. for those of you who don't have a son or daughter going off to war, what is it like to communicate with other families and have that experience? >> you know, we all share it in common. the good thing, i guess, for me was that this is my son. i mean, if he were married and had, you know, a wife and kids he was leaving behind, i can't imagine what that would've felt like. right now he's single and, you know, he's ready to go over there and do the job. but -- and i think, you know, i do share some commonality with the other families who have seen their soldiers deploy or, you know, marines, airmen, sailors and so forth. but i never served, so i don't even know what my son is going through. he throws the armiliy lingos an acronyms around. i don't know what he's talking about. >> read john's great piece

online, as well. >> foxnews.com, it's under the opinion tab. >> great, thanks, john. coming up here on the show, president obama is issuing new guidelines that would crack down on a company's right to do a criminal background check on new hires. is the government going too far?

of the nato led security assistance force. no word on what happened there. military officials have not confirmed the identity of the soldiers. the accused ft. hood shooter speaking out exclusive to fox news in an e-mailed statement claiming the u.s. military is at war with islam. nadal hasan began the statement saying he regrets the years in the u.s. army. that it was inconsistent with his religious beliefs. earlier in the show, we heard from one of the survivors of the shooting. >> it is an embarrassment and disrespectful to our country as a whole and also to all men and women in uniform. major hasan is using this trial as a platform to, in my opinion, to rally others just like him. >> hasan's court-martial is set to begin august 6th. and an update on yesterday's deadly bus crash in indiana. the driver now telling police

conversation. emily miller at the "washington times" says they are trying to distract from all of these scandals by calling them phony, take a listen. >> his latest pivot, as you said, he keeps pivoting, running in circles the last five years. the latest pivot is because the poll numbers are plummeting. plummeting, he's lost nine points since april and all due to the phony scandals as he calls them. people have obama fatigue at this point. they're tired of this, every week it's something else, another abuse of power. his numbers are falling because he's not. so he's trying to save. also shows 56% of americans disapprove of his performance on th >> it's one scandal after the next. it's fast and furious, it's benghazi, the nsa, the doj, irs, you name it. >> really is, our viewers are sounding off on this one. really fired up. marvin from texas says it is a shame that the president of the united states makes a remark as such. he has angered many americans

and we expect an apology. this administration is a big joke. >> janet in kansas city says i'm outraged and i don't understand why no one has been made to be held accountable, we have fought for and died for and loved our country but it sickens me to see what has been happening under this president. deflect, deflect, deflect is what kevin says. attention away from the big picture. sadly, you always get what you vote for. >> try explaining this to the families. i spoke with the mother and uncle of the border agent who was killed during fast and furious. and she says, you want phony, come to my hometown and i'm going to show you the grave of my son. and there are some other scandals. you guys are going to be talking to the family of -- >> yeah. the parents. can we talk about this other thing you've been responding to facebook today and our e-mail

address? hypocrisy. first we talked about electrical union members wanting to keep their health insurance just as it is and not have to opt into obama care. and yesterday we talked about the irs. some of their union employees want to do the same thing. keep what they have. but now apparently they're setting up call centers to promote obama care. explain the call center. >> you call, you've got a problem with your dell computer and they usually reroute you over to india somewhere and someone's going to help you fix your computer or not help you as the case. now they're going to set up a call center to help you figure out obama care. >> if i was confused, i could call you, get you in the call center to explain this. >> right. presumably you're a small business owner and have questions and concerns. >> it's a lot to sort through. >> yeah, about 3,000 pages to deal with. the call centers it turns out now, talk about hypocrisy, they're not going to be hiring full-time employees in these call centers. many of them part-time employees because they can't afford to.

and with obama care be able to pay for their health insurance by knocking them down to part-time employment. they then don't have -- they won't fit the employer mandate, which is what the obama administration has been pushing the employer mandate if you've got 50 employees or above, then they have to, of course, buy into this health care system. >> and certainly that's a bit hypocritical. we were talking about this earlier on "fox and friends." >> first of all, the hypocrisy of it. the obama health law says employers have a responsibility to provide health insurance for their workers unless the employer is obama care itself. so the call centers are saying we can't afford this. we're going to push our workers down to part-time status. but the more important issue here is that the employer mandate is having this impact all across the country. people have to cobble together a living with two or three part-time jobs and no benefits instead of a full-time job that offers benefits.

>> right, so it's a problem for you and me because if we sort through obama care, we're dealing with people who are part-time employees and potentially wouldn't have a level of expertise as a full-time employee. but really small businesses, it affects them, as well. part-time employees rather than full-time employees and something they don't have to pay their health insurance and keep their doors open. >> yeah. let us know what you think about that. to me, that sounds like hypocrisy. acknowledging the very thing they're saying is not happening. >> when we got our jobs here, did we go through a criminal background check? >> probably. >> i'm pretty sure we did. >> how did you get in? just kidding. >> it's normal, do a criminal background check. make sure you don't have any felonies. well, now, states attorneys are saying that they are fighting the federal government, the obama administration specifically on these criminal background checks.

remember the obama administration coming out saying, no, you don't have to do criminal background checks for new hires. they thought it was discriminatory. we want to make sure our employees aren't going to harm other employees aren't going to steal and do horrible things while they're employed. >> would you feel that's a violation to your -- >> no, no the at all. >> go through a criminal background check. >> yeah, i think pretty much every job i've ever had i've had to have some sort of criminal background check. >> yeah. >> and a drug test. don't you have drug tests, most -- >> yeah. >> these are for state jobs. there's always this -- there's always this difference or this double standard these private and public sector jobs. let us know what you think about that, as well. your fingers will be so tired e-mailing us and tweeting us

this morning. >> we mentioned earlier we want to talk to -- phony scandal and cover-ups. in august of, what, three years ago now, oh, my goodness, it's been three years. still waiting for answers on what happened in that crash. yeah, we're joined next by the parents of one of those brave young men next. and he was on his way to winning millions of dollars, but dropped everything and ran away from the golf course. what made this pro golfer just up and quit? we'll explain coming up. what makes your family smile? backflips and cartwheels. love, warmth. here, try this. backflips and camm, ok!s. ching! i like the fact that there's lots of different tastes going on. mmmm! breakfast i'm very impressed. this is a great cereal! honey bunches of oats. i hear you crunching.

help the gulf when we made recover and learn the gulf, bp from what happened so we could be a better, safer energy company. i can tell you - safety is at the heart of everything we do. we've added cutting-edge technology, like a new deepwater well cap and a state-of-the-art monitoring center, whe experts watch over all drilling activity twenty-four-seven. and we're sharing what we've learned, so we can all produce energy more safely. our commitment has never been stronger.

14 minutes now past the hour. two months ago, parents of aaron vaughn, one of the 16 navy s.e.a.l. members killed in a

helicopter crash came forward demanding answers about that tragedy. >> may we be bold enough to speak the truth and fierce enough to challenge the lies. as one of the parents from the crash recently reminded me, i'm no longer accepting the things i cannot change. it is now time to change the things i cannot accept. >> well, someone was listening and now the representative says his committee will investigate this mission. joining us now are karen and bill vaughn, the father and mother of aaron vaughn. nice to see you this morning. welcome to the show. >> thank you so much for having us. >> good morning, clayton. >> why did it take so long to get congress to move on this? >> that's a hard answer. we began talking to congress off and on in october -- by october of 2011, the crash was on august 6th, 2011. and we've been talking to members of congress off and on ever since then. >> karen, why do you -- help us -- remind our audience, first

of all. i want your take on why you think congress took so long. but also, help us remember your son and the events of that tragic -- that tragic day in afghanistan. >> thank you. i think -- i think our trouble with congress was getting to the right person at the right time. you know, there's heavy issues that everybody's trying to maneuver around and these things will come about as the right time comes about. so that's what i think. and thank god for jason and taking this on. and we're really excited about this. we feel like 30 americans died needlessly. aaron and all the others on that helicopter were great americans. we will never have another moment in our family life where we feel complete and i know that every other family feels the very same way. there was no need for the crash to happen. and that's what we need congress to look into. to find out why it did. >> and bill, you guys have always thought there was something fishy about this crash.

there was always something fishy about this shootdown. and yet, you have the spokesman for the pentagon coming out after this was announced that the subcommittee was going to look into this saying this thing has been properly vetted. this was thoroughly investigated. there's no need for a subcommittee. do you disagree? >> well, there always have been things suspicious. there were seven afghans on board the chopper that are not the same names of the men on the manifest. and this is documented in the military -- this is in the military documents we have. also in the military documents it states that our intelligence, our air weapons team saw insurgents, taliban gathering to the area where the chopper was about to land. so there are many suspicious things. clayton, let me say one thing, though, that needs to be cleared up. there were 17 navy s.e.a.l.s, there were five army national guard and flight crew and three

air force special operations. and there were men from every branch of our service on that chopper who were lost that night. >> karen, how are you guys doing three years later? >> well, actually, it's been two. it was 2011 and august 6th will be the two-year anniversary. and, you know, you never really recover from something like this. what you do is figure out how to live in light of the new life you're in. we will never have another moment where we don't miss our son. i want to make everybody really understand, i don't want to be dismissed as a grieving parent who is angry that our son died. our son was an honorable man doing what he lived to do. since he was 8 years old, he told his father and i one day he was going to be a navy s.e.a.l. it was something god put in his heart at a young age because aaron had given his life to christ at a young age. we have no regrets about what he chose, the life he chose. what we have regrets about is the way we've been lied to since

his death. and the way that answers are not forthcoming. and also, that when we get answers, we never get the same answer twice. and it only serves to raise our suspicions. and that's what we're fighting for in these investigations. we want the truth. we want congress to get to the bottom of this once and for all. and we're ready to hear what the truth is. we just want to know what it is. >> you absolutely deserve it. and you're looking at the incredible faces of karen and bill vaughn this morning. we were talking earlier, the families of men and women who go off to serve. we often don't see them, don't know who they are. but we thank you for your son paying the ultimate sacrifice so that we have our freedom here in the united states. >> thank you. thank you so much for having us on. >> thank you for having us. >> of course. >> fox news has supported this and we appreciate that. and we also appreciate the american people who have reached out to us and told us to keep on asking for answers. and even military people.

even s.e.a.l.s and rangers saying please keep speaking out. we need things changed where we're losing our lives. >> thank you for saying that. and we'll continue to look for answers here at fox news, as well. bill and karen -- >> thank you very much. >> thank you for joining us on a sunday. >> thank you very much. coming up here on the show, one of the most iconic images of the september 11th attacks but almost didn't maybe it into the 9/11 museum because it was considered too patriotic. and disturbing new viral video trend, smacking unsuspecting victims in the face and posting it online. can they be charged for assault? we'll have a fair and balanced debate on that next. being sixteen, alex thinks he's invincible. his dad knows he's not. that's why dad got allstate accident forgiveness. it starts the day you sign up.

thanks for sharing a bit of your morning with us here on "fox and friends," 23 minutes after the hour. just in time for the 2016 election. hmm, curious timing here, nbc has ordered a four-hour mini series based on hillary clinton. tv executives say the script will begin with the clinton's second term in the white house. diane lane will be playing the leading lady. no word yet who will be playing bill. and american pro golfer hunter mahan leaving $1 million on the table after his wife went into labor. he immediately withdrew from the tournament. congratulations. >> father of the year right there. hey, remember this prank, turned viral video from a few months back. young people tossing big gallons of milk on to the floor of grocery stores. well, now there is an even more

disturbing trend hitting the web. kids smacking unexpecting victims in the face with their fists but also food. watch this. >> you know, some of these kids do not like it like her. she's crying. could the kids who did that to her be charged? let's ask our legal experts joining us now. guys, welcome to the show here. listen, i have a cupcake here. let's say anna who got mad at me a little while ago, shoved that right in my face and i started crying. i got upset about it. could she be charged with assault? >> if you were not in on it. if it was truly an unwelcome touching. if it truly upset you and you could satisfy a prosecutor that it upset. you that could be a form of harassment, a form of menacing. some of these videos involve

clear completed assault, attempted assaults, law enforcement is free to watch just like everyone else. >> some of the kids laugh and think it's a joke. that one girl was crying. she did not like it at all. could that person be charged with assault? >> they could be, mike. is this criminal or stupidity? >> it's stupidity, i think. >> but if it's criminal, it's actually a battery, it's an unlawful offense of touching. if we're going to have our prosecutors charging people for, you know, hitting each other in the face with a little whipped cream or cupcake, our prosecutors are going to be busy. >> there were fists sometimes, ken. >> it's offensive and they're hurting, that person in the video was crying, but is that worthy of bringing, you know, arresting somebody, bringing somebody to prosecution? i don't think so. >> let's say it gets to the courtroom, could you roll that tape as evidence? >> 100%. and that's what's so important here. in some cases when we're dealing with assaults, other types of

acquaintan acquaintanc acquaintances. is the victim on board? sometimes it takes a year for cases to go to trial. the victim and defendant have gotten back together and no longer cooperative. if you have the video, you can prove the assault without the victim in court. >> you're in a courtroom almost every week of your life, would you see that being rolled in a courtroom? >> no, because a video like that would be ejected. one of the things you have to do is prove authentication. you can make any type of video, you can do anything with video. you have to authenticate what is real. the other thing you have to do is prove chain of custody. by the time it got to air and somebody saw it, there was a chain of custody so you could prove it wasn't edited. i think it would be difficult to get that video. >> i disagree. i think there's no fourth amendment protection for publicly posted information, number one. it's admissible. those go more to the weight, i think, than the admissibility. and, sure, that's why we have

trials. if the defendant wants to put on an alleged victim and have the victim come into court and say under oath. >> say it. >> and say under oath, i was in on this, i consented to it, i'm not upset about it. that's fine. but -- >> good discussion. >> this is why we get paid because we disagree all the time. >> these two, separate them. >> how about this? one of my best stories of the morning. stunning images out of afghanistan. the amazing effect named after a u.s. army ranger. it's called the halo effect. is it from the angels? plus, it's part travel guide. a look at some of the best eats from our southern state. iconic foods out of 16 states. let's eat. ok, i am coming.

northeast down towards the south. we've got this cold front that's moving on through bringing the potential for showers and thunderstorms, maybe some heavy downpours, as well. tropical storm warnings for the big island right now. this storm is on the move. clayton is making fun of it. but here's the cool thing about this storm, to see a tropical storm that potentially could make landfall on the big island is something we've never seen from the eastern direction. so this would be historic. we've seen storms move across the big island from the south, but to see a storm that actually moves from the east to the west across the big island is something we have never ever seen before. >> flossie sounds like the waitress at my local diner. >> flossie sounds like somebody you would tip a few dollars to. >> you'll need flossie if you eat this -- >> i have been waiting for this segment since 4:30 this morning. >> i'm so excited. yay! >> look who's here. morgan murphy, good to see you,

vatican and the catholic church, not in terms of doctrine, but in terms of practice. but they're not just going to him because of personality. remember that a few months ago, pope francis was jorge bergoglio getting ready for retirement. and now all of a sudden he has 3.2 million young people. >> isn't that why they gravitate toward him? he seems so approachable. >> i would say yes and no. i think they're seekers. i've experienced in my own ministry here in new york city, young people flocking. young people whose parents don't go to church. young people flocking to find meaning, purpose and passion in life. >> spiritual void? >> yes, absolutely. that's the no part. they're not just coming for him, but for god. i would say he's done pretty radical things. he's driving around in a fiat, which in europe and some parts of latin america is not exactly

known as a classy luxurious car. he's doing that as he's living. the same way he lived when he was powerful. >> wearing the simple cross rather than the extravagant garb and living not in a fancy place. how much does that have to do with people being able to relate to him? >> i think it does mean a lot. and, of course, that's not living poorly. it's not the climax of christian life. there are other aspects. and what he said is christian life is all about friendship with god. friendship with god. what he's also said is to these young people, go back and mix things up when you're back at home. in other words, to the priest and the bishops, not just the catholics, but all of us, shake things up, go out there, people are not going to be coming and waiting for you in the pews. >> don't sit in your house anymore. what was he drinking? do we have any idea? >> what was he has drinking? >> it looked like a chalice, but

it wasn't. with a straw coming out, it was green. >> that's the famous brazilian -- all the brazilians are going crazy because they know what it is. it's a brazilian drink. >> we heard it was chai tea. >> no, another name. >> we'll get to the bottom of this. the teens who went out of their way to reunite a lost dog to the owners. the teens, the owners and dog are here next. ♪ [ lighter flicking ] [ male announcer ] you've reached the age

you notice this funny rock. >> yeah. well, we were just canoeing into the brule lake. we saw the camp site. we got out to check it. perched up on this rock we saw a pink leash. he looked in. there was a message on the rock. somebody had scribbled in in charcoal that said a message, lost dog, tomah. we knew the dog was there, at least. we figured it was long gone there was just so many places for it to go. >> casey, i imagine a lot of people would go by that rock and say, oh, this is just some dumb thing. what made you guys actually -- you guys went out and searched for the dog. >> yeah. it was the day after we had pulled in that we eventually were kind of exploring the island. we were just initially kind of, like, looking for wood and stuff like that for a fire. and we came into a clearing and there tomah was in the clearing.

nate said hey, guys, there's tomah. we all kind of came forward to try to meet her or whatever. she just took off right away. she was gone right as she saw us lunge forward towards her. >> i was reading you had to chase after her a couple times. you made this makeshift harness for her and all that. kelly and ashley, what is it like now to have tomah there with you. this has got to be a miracle for your family. >> most definitely. we kind of thought that she was going to be gone after the couple days. >> what's life been like? now that she's home? >> it's been good. it's been -- tomah is living the celebrity lifestyle. getting way too much attention. >> even being on tv, i guess. did you give her anything special, any steak or anything, bacon? >> she got a nice bash, new collar, new leash. she's good. >> congratulations to all of you. mom, you must be so happy as well. boys, hats off to you.
