"fox & friends" starts now. >> nice to see you. it is monday, labor day. i'm anna kooiman in for gretchen carlson. we have a fox news alert. the white house working the phone to sell a strike on syria to congress. while syria says president obama's strategy is a quote historic american retreat. is america looking weak to the rest of the world? the latest straight ahead. >> a tragic story. two dead, four hospitalized, police pulling the plug to an extremely popular rave. >> during a sports

broadcast this happened. >> nfl star takes a fall. if anyone can fall and be okay, ronnie lott. we'll explain what happened, what led to it and what his response was when "fox & friends" gets started right now. ♪ ♪ >> good morning. right to that fox news alert. we learn new details about the crisis in syria. the president's inner circle floods the zone trying to get congressional approval for a military strike. this as syria mocks the white house calling president obama's decision to take his finger off the trigger, quote, an historic american retreat. we're live in washington with the very latest. steve? >> good morning. the white house has launched a major campaign

to get congress on board for a limited strike against syria. they put the secretary of state on five sunday talk shows revealing new evidence that chemical weapons were used in syria last month. >> the fact is that yesterday we have now learned that hair and blood samples that have come to us from east damascus from individuals who were engaged as first responders in east tkao mass cuss -- damascus, they have tested positive for signatures of sarin. >> sarin a deadly nerve agent. later 83 members of congress from both houses and both sides of the aisle attending a classified briefing by national security officials on capitol hill and afterwards democrats and republicans alike were skeptical. >> the president is asking us to support him on a commitment he made on his own. he didn't come to congress

and talk to us. he laid out red lines, talked about scenarios, never sought congressional support and now he wants it. >> the president invited a chief critic and a major foreign policy hawk, senator john mccain, to meet with him at the white house today. back to you. >> where do you start? the president of the united states on friday has the secretary of state go out there and lay out the outrage which the world community should be sharing. this is why we have to act, why we need to act. the president later that day kind of walks back secretary of state kerry and then on saturday says i would like to attack syria. they deserve to be attacked but i'm not going to do it unless congress says i can do it. when they come back in on september 9, they'll let me know if they want to do it. what is he going to do after congress stphabgts we're not even -- after congress acts? we're not even sure. what the world community says? they're not sure because we're on uncharted waters.

>> their behavior has been so flaky that it appears this morning even some of the president's advisors are distancing themselves from the decision telling various news outlets they had no idea the president was going to announce his request for congressional approval. meanwhile the white house claiming congress needs to ratify this tact because israel wants it. >>brian: israel has issued no statement on this. prime minister netanyahu has remained out of this. >>anna: they're reaching for their gas masks at the moment living in fear and trying to figure out what the next thing is going to be for them. and how does this make us look to the rest of the world? all of this waffling, this ambivalence? senator john mccain and representative rogers weighs in. >> assad and his people are euphoric.

iranians are happy. when the president of the united states said it was a red line, he didn't say it's a red line and by the way i'm going to have to seek approval of congress. >> we better send a very clear message in a unified way that we're not going to tolerate proliferation of weapons of mass destruction let alone their use. if you don't send that message, that has real world consequences. this isn't a reality tv show. at the end of the day, something will actually happen. people will lose their life. >>anna: the other mind-boggling things, strong words from the secretary of state on friday. and when the president comes back it is like how long are we going to wait? we push it back until september 9 at least when congress comes back. we can wait that long? and then where does the president go immediately after? he goes to the golf course with the vice president. >>brian: syrians say in this one of their major newspapers says, quote, the start of an historic

american retreat has begun. they say mr. obama hesitated because of his sense of implicit defeat and disappearance of allies. the united league can't get together. you have britain that says i can't get support in parliament on a united front. when you sit there shoulder to shoulder with just france, backing up a world mandate put on the books in 1920, this is a world red line. we are the only ones to back it up. if the president feels as though in his fiber of his being this matters to the u.s., sell it to us the way you did obamacare, make the case the way president bush and president clinton have done in the past and go tell everyone we need to do this because we're the only sane nation on the planet instead of i don't k let's see what congress says. i'll be back monday. >>tucker: the irony is

the reason to vote for obama was he would bring the world with us. this is precedent for ignoring the use of weapons of mass destruction. iraq and iran used them against each other and we stood back while our enemies devastated each other. >>brian: i watched an iranian columnist in his 70's, he says five times already syria used these chemicals and they are astounding in the inner workings of the syrian government why this time is a big deal to us. they used it in march. we thought they crossed a red line. the president never talked about it again. now in august that was the red line officially crossed because we had the pictures of women and we had the picture of children. >>anna: you will be -- you would not be human if you couldn't be moved by the video of these women and children, everybody who is dealing with this.

but from an outsider's perspective, watching this unfold over the weekend, what does that say about the white house and how possibly disorganized this is? secretary of state john kerry went out on a limb on friday and then had to go on the sunday shows and kind of backtrack everything. let's take a listen to what he had to say. >> so this case is going to build stronger and stronger, and the president believes that the united states of america, for a decision like this, is stronger when you have the time to be able to have the support of the united states congress and obviously the support of the american people through them. >>tucker: this is going to be a very, very tough sell. these guys do not have much credibility left, the administration arguing for this strike. i think many members of congress are going to be hesitant to weigh into a civil war that could blossom into a region-wide or maybe worldwide conflict. it is a delicate situation. i don't think they can sell it. >>brian: i think he's going to have trouble in

the senate. i think he's going to have a lot of trouble in the house. we know what's going to happen on tuesday. all the committee chairmen have been invited to the white house on tuesday. we know yesterday they met with congressional leaders. today senator mccain goes over at which time when the democrats come out like charlie rangel, like others, they aren't sold by it. because the president says i'm going to have a limited strike with no boots on the ground but the four page resolution says it's open-ended and really has no limits. >>anna: what are we really fighting for? would we be taking military action for? would it be for a regime change or would it be for a steal mate? we don't re -- a stalemate? we don't know what we're trying to get done here. >>brian: the three-day music festival cut short after two deaths and several people sent to the hospital in critical condition. investigators believe the drug molly may be to blame. heather nauert here with more. >> good morning. these festivals have become popular these days among a

lot of young people and the drug known to be taken there is known as ecstasy and it's believed to have caused the deaths of at least two people at the electric zoo festival on new york's randall's island. tens of thousands flocking to the big apple for the marathon party. it featured five stages and a lot of popular deejays there. but the fun over the weekend turned into a real tragedy. a 20-year-old was a college student from rhode island was pronounced dead after she was rushed to the hospital on saturday night. police say that 23-year-old jeffrey russ of rochester died early sunday morning. city officials say both deaths appear to be related to the drug molly. >> you've got a big problem. if you're taking this drug on a hot day you're going to become dehydrated, your heart is going to start racing, you may have convulsions, you may get a haert attack and you -- heart attack and you may get a stroke. >> a former homicide

detective and fox news contributor was on the show and talked about the dangers of this drug and its rising popularity among teenagers. he has warning signs for parents whose children may be taking molly. >> what you want to say specifically is have you hung out with molly? do you know molly? then you want to look at the pupils, the eyes, because you'll notice that the pupils are somewhat dilated. you'll see a lot of sweating. but the real giveaway is that the teenager will need to eat a lot of candy because molly has a tendency to burn up the metabo lites in the body which takes the sugar out. it is important parents have this discussion today with their kids. >> city officials say at least four other people are in intensive care in local hospitals and they are suspected of drug overdoses. >>brian: thank you very much, heather. we have another drug to worry about as we move ahead on this show. first he said he was ready

to strike. now the president wants to go to congress. why the change of heart? wait till you hear our next guest's theory. he's a veteran of wars in iraq and afghanistan. he's on deck. >>tucker: an nfl hall of famer takes a big tumble. watch. >>tucker: what has ronnie lott so excited? we'll tell you. ♪ [ male announcer ] don't miss red lobster's endless shrimp. t's as much as you like, any way you like. try classic garlic shrimp scampi and more. only $15.99, offer ends soon. so come in and sea food differently. now, try seven lunch choices for $7.99. sandwiches, salads and more [ female announcer ] at 100 calories, not all food choices add up. some are giant. some not so giant. when managing your weight,

on proven ideas to upgrade our schools that don't require congress. congress didn't get its act together. where do i connect on my own? i'm not going to wait. >>brian: meanwhile the president can act on his own. is the president playing politics now and will he make his own decision in the end any way? let's talk with the c.e.o. of concerned veterans for america and a veteran of both our wars over the last 12 years. do you sense some politics here and less military play? >> i think he's trying to have it both ways. he's trying to disburse responsibility by effectively punting to congress. he doesn't have to. but this is something -- we've seen this back and forth from president obama on the syria issue. think of the sentence he says when he talks about military action: a decisive but limited action. you can't have a -- decisive means it decides something, yet limited. you cannot have it both way. he's trying to have it both ways where he wants to act decisively but asks

congress for permission. who is reading these tea leaves? the syrians, iranians. the world is looking at us and see how foolish we look in waffling back and forth. >>brian: if you ever played the games battleship or strategic o, you cannot possibly say targets will be as ripe when we're ready to attack which seems inevitable. everything's moved, everything is gone. choppers are in cities. maybe there are going to be human shields in some of those targets we want. >> assad is going to do all of that. at this point he's all in on this effort. he knows supposedly there was a red line crossed. now he's got another couple of weeks to prepare for it. he's going to do everything in his power to make this look as bad as possible. but i think the president has got a bigger problem right now in between now and the 9th, is making the case for this particular action. and those of us who believe that when you set a red line you better follow through on it also understand the skepticism in congress about an

open-ended mittment to a muddle -- open-ended commitment to a muddled war. there are no good options. what do you need? a president with vision who is going to lead firmly. that is not what we have. >>brian: who could flip it over and say how valuable it would be, what it would do to suffocate hezbollah. he's got to start proposing these things we all know could be the upside of a syrian conflict. for example, here's what senator inhofe says. i want you to hear this because i think it relates directly to what you did for a living. >> you've got to realize what this president has done to our military and our military is so degraded now. it's not just me who says this. i want to read one quote by the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, general dempsey. he said our military force is so degraded and unready, it would be immoral to use force. >>brian: that's from the

chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. do you talk to guys still fighting now, guys who would still be fighting today. what is your reaction to that? >> i saw that. i was surprised how blunt chairman dempsey was about our military capabilities. i think at the pointy end of the sphere we're still as big and bad as we've always been. the problem is if you move back on that on training, operations and preparations you've got a military not sure what's coming next, how well supplied they're going to be, how large they're going to be. there's a lot of hesitations. i wouldn't send a signal to the world we couldn't take on anybody right now. we could. the problem is with sequester after sequester with a president that failed to lead has created a lot of problems in the community. >>brian: fundamentally the military has been functioning at a higher level than anything else in our government over the last 12 years and has taken the bulk of the cuts and some of the our best men and women are getting

incentive packages not to stay in the military rather than get out of the military. i think there's going to be a price to pay for that. >> absolutely. we still live in a dangerous world and syria is showing us that right now. >>brian: captain pete hegseth, thanks so much. ten minutes till the bottom of the hour. serious off the road rage. the girlfriend of a nascar driving getting a little revenge on behalf of her man. take that. labor day isn't just about having the day off from work. if you know it dates back 100 years, how to teach your kids the true meaning. your kids the true meaning. first wake them up. too big. too small. too soft. too tasty.

pullman's strike. when you think of labor, you think of people working dangerous jobs with heavy machinery, underground, digging. it seems the pw*ul -- bulk of members today are working in white collar jobs. >> that is true. labor unionize -- unions served an important purpose. that purpose has been achieved but right now they're searching for something else to do. we should recognize a lot of benefits we have at this point like a five-day work week, like labor day were the result of hard fights in the 19th century. >>anna: what do you think would happen if there was an increase in the minimum wage like the hundreds of protesters, the fast-food workers we saw, we saw a factory have to shut down because workers walked off. is that something we need

to pay attention to? >> difference in conditions now whether it's a couple of dollars here or there versus the truly horrific conditions, the child labor, the sweatshops that existed in the late 19th century is apples and oranges. to make that comparison is, i think, pretsty far-fetched. -- is pretty far-fetched. >>tucker: organized labor members make more than their private, their nonunion counterparts, don't they? >> they do. it's an interesting facet of the way union membership shifted. there was a time when 40% of the country was unionized. now it is in the mid teens. union membership has been looking for ways to hold on to that par but issues they have -- hold on to that power but issues they have fought for have already been won. >>anna: 27 minutes after the hour. just because you don't call it obamacare doesn't make it any more appealing.

and trimmer and his response to that was i must have looked like health before. first we had breakfast. then we went out and golfed 18 holes with lee trevino. the reason for doing it was to prompt people with memberships. if you are an officer in the military and you lose your life your family is going to do okay possibly when it comes to going to college. but if you're an infantry man, people on the line of fire, more likely to suffer a wound or lose their life in battle you don't have much in terms of benefits. you're counting on the country to help your family. people say the war is kind of over, we're getting out of afghanistan, iraq's kind of done. you guys have got to snap out of it. people are not able to function in society, send their kids to college, there is not enough aid out

there because you fought and lost your life at the age of 25. so folds of honor says we're going to get this organization together. last year over the labor day weekend they raised $4.5 million just from people golfing and throwing in an extra ten or five bucks. this year grab your clubs, go out and pay your green fees. a portion will go there and find fold of honor and donate. this is the year to do it. these kids are without parents and a lot of times, in the case of the children we were with the other day, they don't even remember their father. one barely at six. the other one at three, they have barely images of their dad. they just know they have a mom trying to make ends meet. >>tucker: you took the opportunity since you were with the former president, to ask him about other stuff. >>brian: 9/11 is coming up on sunday. we're in the middle of the syria crisis. so here's what he said.

>> my thoughts are that as time passes, people forget the lessons of september 11. one of the key lessons is the human condition elsewhere matters to the security of the united states. >>brian: the thing that stands out -- >> we cannot -- >>brian: there is a very similar statement by president obama, i guess. one thing the president said on 9/11 i thought was so important, he said everybody who lost their life was the most important person in the world to somebody. and here we are 12 years later and people on 9/11 aren't taking a pause and aren't thinking about it. so i think on 9/11, on sunday, people should really think about what took place. >>tucker: next sunday. thank you. >>brian: 25 minutes before the top of the hour. here's what else is happening in the news. >>tucker: out of afghanistan, a u.s. base

covered under the americans with disability act. >>tucker: could this be could have had by the americans with disabilities -- could this be covered by the americans with disabilities act? >> possible. but for most of us it is an inability to gauge our time. >>brian: how do we find out if it is a bad habit or something we were inflicted with through our dan. dan. -- through our d.n.a. >> there are people for whom this is an isolated disease. there is a number of solutions to this. >>brian: for example? >> behavioral changes. wear a watch. something simple. >>anna: that seems so silly. how long have we be -- ladies in particular, we know how long it takes to shower and dry our hair, yet every time somebody comes to pick us up, we are always late. >> the one more thing syndrome. just walk out that door.

>>tucker: do you think not taking responsibility for your own bad habits might lead to anxiety and depression? >> it is possible. being late for your job can cause you to have financial issues, make you embarrassed with family members if you're late for a wedding. >>tucker: blaming a syndrome rather than saying i did it, that can't be good. >>brian: in other words, your kid's watching -- doctor, let's look at some of the things you jot down. some of the things to look for when it comes to behavior modification. the cause of lateness associated with adhd, habit, excuses, accompanies depression, anxiety and self-control. learn to say no. plan for late time. walk out the door. learn to say noes if i do

>> tucker: what is government elementary school students being taught? government is your family. that's what a class of fourth grade students in skokie, illinois were told in a homework assignment that compared government to family because both set spruce take care of needs such as health care and education. is this a lesson that would be better untaught? joining us is the editor of breitbart news, who was raised in skokie, illinois. what is going on in skokie? >> well, the government is a family if you're in skokie.

the whole chicago area, state of illinois is basically devoted to that idea, which is why you see blue state troubles at their worst in illinois with pension crisis, overspending, overdependentence on the state. people like to blame the politicians for spending all this money, but ask people to give up their precious programs, they don't want to do this. there is this idea pervasive that government exists to daycare you. unfortunately for the nation as a whole, the same people who believe that most strongly are now running the country as a whole, which is why we're seeing the terrible financial mess inçó washington. >> tucker: that's an excellent point. these are pretty adult questions in relationship to the state, et cetera. to push this garbage on fourth graders and really give them sort of orwailian propaganda is shocking. here is one of the lines. quote, government is like a nation's family. families take care of children and they make sure they're safe, healthy, educated and free to enjoy life. families make and enforce rules

and give appropriate punishments. when rules are broken, government does these things for its citizens, too. >> yeah. and if you want to continue the analogy even further, when government gets old and decrepid, you have to take care of it. maybe that is a good model for how we're living today. >> tucker: sometimes mommy has to paddle you when you've been bad. that's the way the government is. but it hurts us more than it hurts you. it's for your own good. i mean, that's just flat out propaganda. >> yeah. i remember what we learned in fourth grade in skokie. we were taught bay generation that lived through or had a very deep consciousness of world war ii and understood what it meant to fight for freedom, the fragility of it. so our civics began with understanding liberty. we did learn about democrats and republicans, but it was never so partisan as this. we were told democrats basically signed with unions, republicans with big business. that's as political as it got. now you have a new generation

that's been educated post-1960s to believe their role as educators is to prepare the youth of today for the atlanta formation of tomorrow. so they want to inculcate this idea of they fail if they don't take care of everybody. they don't start with individuals as citizens -- in your family, you owe your existence to your parents. we don't owe our existence to our government. >> tucker: you want to teach your children to be engaged, active citizens, not robots who will obey the states, which is what you get when you teach this nonsense. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> tucker: the white house working the phones to sell a strike on syria to congress. is america looking weak to the rest of the world? we're live from israel at the top of the hour. ladies, there is a brand-new theory on the key to lasting relationships. here is a hint, quit nagging him to do the dishes ♪

watching "fox & friends." >> anna: happy labor day, everybody. everybody is getting ready for the grill and the barbecue and the sales. we got serious news this morning. >> brian: go to sports authority first. we learned details about the crisis in syria. the president has taken his finger off the trigger while he waits for congress. this as syria mocks the white house, calling it an historic america retreat. the situation causing a lot of concern around the world. conner powell is live jerusalem. when you talk about retaliation if the u.s. was to attack. what's the reaction been there? >> there is a lot of anxiety here. really across the entire region. privately, israeli officials are very concerned about the situation in syria and the lack of u.s. military response by the obama administration. publicly a very different attitude. israeli president peres saying he has faith in president obama

to make the right decision, while prime minister netanyahu issuing a statement saying israel is essentially prepared for any scenario. the situation in syria in the entire region really isn't getting any less complicated. today russia announced it is sending a naval reconnaissance ship to the eastern mediterranean area. keep in mind, the u.s. already has six naval warships off the coast of syria as well. never a good thing to have that many naval ships in the same small area. ourse, is one of assad's biggest backers and strongest allies in the united nations. (5tt(q end for the obamae it is administration in terms ofñi support for any type of strike, the arab league issued a statementñiçó urgingó the international community toñrñi e action against syria and accused the assad regime of using chemical weapons. but, brian, anna and tucker, the arab league stopped short of endorsing any type of u.s. military strike in syria. >> brian: wow. thank you very much.

so up in the air. no one wants to take a firm stand and wants to criticize the united states for not taking a firmer stand. meanwhile, we have two more warships headed to the area, including a power ship. so it's sitting this in the gulf. we're fortified to attack, but is congress going to do it? >> anna: right. >> tucker: it's going to be a very, very, very tough sell and now the white house is trying to convince members of congress to vote for this essentially by saying israel is demanding it. this white house posing as the great friend of israel. israel, meanwhile, has said nothing, literally, about this in public. >> anna: about 70 lawmakers were briefed on this yesterday. now today we're hearing that by joe biden and the chief of staff are doing what's called a flood zone strategy. literally getting on the horn and calling individual members of the senate and the house. but we did hear on the sundayñi shows from a lot of lawmakers yesterday and we're hearing arguments on both sides. let's listen.

>> if you're going to say something, you got to back it up. this president clearly has retreated from the position that he took. >> this isn't a reality tv show. at the end of the day, something will actually happen. people will lose their lives. >> there are no good option left in syria, but i believe the worst of the options is for us to do nothing. >> i don't see a clear cut american interest. i don't see either party that is victorious if either party is victorious being an american ally. >> he can come to congress and talk to us. he laid out red lines. he's talked about scenarios. he's never sought congressional support. now he wants it. >> brian: so now he wants it. he'll get the debate september 9. he's got to get a majority in the senate, which the democrats have. but there are a lot of democrats who aren't buying this, especially in the house. there is quite a few congressmen in the house who are not sold. number one, the proposal that congress is supposed to sign off on is open ended where the president talks about limited

action, not taking out assad, not having troops on the ground, that's not is what's written on the document that they're asked to sign off on. i don't see the president wanting a drawn out attack, i don't see him putting boots on the ground issues but they want to make sure of it. but among those, congressman sherman and janis hahn is a democrat out of california says right now after leaving the room and getting the inside story, the top secret story, she's still voting no. >> tucker: what we want and what we get are often two different things. the administration is claiming we can sort of go a little bit, attack enough to deter future uses of wmd, but the truth is, you have no idea where this thing might wind up. these things tend to spiral out of control and raises the question, what's our end game? what's our strategy? do we want to replace assad or not? >> brian: in terms of israel, israel actually would rather the person they know, the devil they know then the devil they don't know. they're not towrope set if he

stays -- upset if he stays in power. they hit him when they were building nuclear facilities there. there has been no response. they know what the rebels have brought. >> tucker: it's been pretty peaceful recently. >> brian: right. it has been for a couple of decades. so they though what's there. they're worried about what could be coming next, which is flat out chaos. so to blame israel is out of control. here is the problem, that president bush had 49 partners going into iraq. he took his time, brought it to the u.n. and went forward, said this guy has got to go. saddam hussein had this thing called weapons of mass destruction, which he used on his own people. now you have assad using weapons of mass destruction on his own people, very similarly, at least five times in the last year. the last time was the breaking point for the president. so now the president says okay. who is with me? we've had nobody at all with us. not that we need them militarily, but there is absolutely no support. so the president seems to flip on his own cabinet and changed

his opinion midstream in the middle of the week. is it his option? yes. does it make you look weak? absolutely. >> tucker: and confused more than anything. members of his staff are telling news organizations this morning they had no idea the president was going to do this until they saw it on television. basically distancing themselves from their own boss. pretty shocking. >> brian: right. you remember, he did say assad has to go. here is representative scott rigell. he weighed in on what the goal of this whole event should be. >> if one of the principle objectives was to hold the regime accountable, if assad is still standing in his control of the military is still very much firm and chemical weapons are still under his control, does that meet definition of success? >> tucker: great question! >> brian: i don't know. we know this, russia is bringing ships to the region. we know iran and hezbollah have 50,000 troops in that area. let's say this scenario happens, we hit some of these sites and

we kill an iranian battalion. let's take we take out some hezbollah, what's going to be some results there? is it possible it's over? >> tucker: it's not going to be over. you watch the administration talk about their good guys and bad guys. there was a letter to the editor to the funnel times, i want to read it. it's called a short guide to the middle east. this sums it up. iran are backing assad. the muslim brotherhood and obama are against general sisi in egypt. gulf states are for sisi. iran is pro-hamas, but hamas is backing the muslim brotherhood. muslim brotherhood is against the u.s. turkey is with the gulf states. yet turkey is pro-muslim brotherhood against general sisi. welcome to the middle east and have a nice day. >> anna: essentially there are bad options and there are worst option. >> tucker: anyone who tells you, it's simple, has no idea what he's talking about.

>> brian: right. but the problem is when the president said offhand remarks, not written statements, adds to a question, the red line is using chemical weapons and moving them all around and actually implementing, that will be his red line. that's where he backed himself into a corner. >> anna: that seems to be where the mistakes started happening. nine minutes after the hour, we have to get to other headlines for you. another fox news alert out of afghanistan. a u.s. base coming under attack from the taliban. this is new video just in from the base. 9 insurgents set -- the insurgents shutting down a key highway for nato supply trucks. three members of the taliban were killed in the battle. noah is saying that -- nato is saying no american casualties. new york city police launching a homicide investigation into two apparent drug overdose deaths at a weekend music festival. one of the victims reportedly told an ems worker that she had just taken six hits of molly before collapsing and dying.

molly is a form of ecstasy that is gaining popularity with teen-agers. doctors say it is very dangerous. >> you got a big problem. if you take this drug on a hot day, you're going to become dehydrated, your heart will start racing. you may have convulsions, you may get a heart attack. and you may get a stroke. >> anna: at least four other people are critically ill and in intensive care from suspected drug overdoses as well. right now an 11-alarm fire is burning at a new jersey warehouse and officials say it won't be under control for a long time. more than 200 firefighters are battling the flames. the fire broke out around 2:00 o'clock on sunday afternoon and smoke could be seen as far as 20 miles away. no word yet on what started that blaze. seriously, it's tough being a toddler. here is proof. apparently her foot is still on

the gas while she's sleeping. check her out. she's asleep behind the wheel of her barbie bug. she's going in circles without blinking and waking up. >> brian: personally for labor day, she's overdressed. >> tucker: that's also a bad sign for the future.

>> brian: fox news alert. president obama waiting for congress to act on syria. but says the u.s. does take action, it will be limited. could this turn into a larger war? our next guest is here with a warning. it could. let's bring in lieutenant colonel tony schaefer, senior fellow at the center for advanced defense and author of "the last line." welcome back. first off, on an attack, seems simple. send out some tomahawk missile, our guys aren't in danger. these things are controlled off ships. maybe bases. what's the danger? >> there is a great deal of dangerous. the expense, a very expensive statement to make. these are high-tech weapons which aren't cheap. then what next? what if it doesn't work? we have failed as stipulated to do what is best regarding our work in the middle east. begin with the end in mind. we don't know what the end state we want to achieve. so when we don't know, it's

almost like we're driving the town car of freedom all over the map. we have danger of expanding the conflict past the borders of syria by the fact that as you all mentioned earlier, there is 50,000 forces in syria. the russians have made a statement they have a base in syria and putting ships there. you launch off these cruise missiles. nonpermissive environment, this is not libya. weapons hit their targets, they're not going to be chemical weapons, but then what next? what if this doesn't mitigate his behavior? >> brian: we expect him to still be brutal. we can expect him to still kill innocent people. we don't expect him to ever use chemical weapons again. but you're saying what if he does use chemical weapons again, because our objective is not overthrow assad, not to destroy his military, and evidently, our targets are not time sensitive, which means that's not his air force or military. the choppers go to civilian

areas. what are we going to hit that is not time sensitive? >> that's the thing that's the big mystery here. 100,000 people have already died. so one chemical incident does not make the entire crisis. we have failed to understand exactly what we want to achieve ultimately regarding the end state. do we make assad go or not? ultimately, the devil you know sometimes is better than the devil you don't. brian, there is 100 rebel groups out there, if you count every little faction, over 1,000. so we don't even know who to side with. we've got to get in our own minds what we want to do. simply poking our finger into it and making it an exacerbating situation is not going to move us forward. >> brian: colonel, i'm not disputing anything you say. it sounds totally logical and i'm sure it was in president obama's briefings. however, what about this? congress says no or congress says yes, but we decide not to do anything at all. what does our credibility look like in that area? what does it look like to iran

and north korea? what does it say to the russians? >> the red line comment has caused a lot of problems. i believe the president may have said it in a moment of passion. with that said, we have to look at the long-term issues of what is best. i think we can still continue to make statements about the fact that there are certain things we will not permit. however, heard earlier congressman angle say this was a war crime using these weapons much it was not a war crime. this was a tyrant using these weapons, if he did, against his own people. it's something of concern. but again, we have to make very clear that a war crime is something we will not permit. aggressive action against others we will not permit. this is a political action that requires a political solution. us ratcheting it up to a military action at a time when it's still a political issue is not something we should do. it's not in the interest of the american people. and i can tell you, i don't know if that vote will go the president's way when they take it regarding military action. >> brian: we're going to go through this action. we had 49 allies in iraq and britain everywhere we go. we had australia everywhere we went. canada everywhere we wanted.

us and france seem to be left standing. the president has a chance of acting now without congress, or does he have a fall guy saying, i wanted to act, i preferred to act, but going to congress they prevented me from acting. does he have a fall guy in our own congress? and internationally, do we pay the price? >> by his own administration's comments, he has the right to act any time. i think right now he's trying to spread around responsibility or blame, depending on how you term it. with that said, i think that's why he's gone it congress and frankly, we know it would have been a bad example if we decided to take unilateral action after britain said no. with that said, again, i don't idea of whatis for us and we we're trying to achieve. simply using military action without a political plan is folly. >> brian: my final point is, what if this happened, we take out a few palace, blow up his

defense department, we destroy his treasury, he's sitting this in a stack table trying to look up on a laptop and ipad. we make his life miserable, much more uncomfortable like the civil war he's perpetrated on innocent people. doesn't that show wow, i better watch myself? >> you could clearly send a statement, brian. there is ways we can send statements all day to him. the question becomes obviously, he has a government, a party. you have to basically make sure that everything gets out if you're going to make that change if we don't go for regime change, we're just going to upset him and probably make things worse. again, we're not going for the chemical munitions. he can chews to use them again. and more importantly, terrorist groups could use them outside his own borders. that's the danger here. >> brian: seems to be a lose-lose scenario. thanks for joining us. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> brian: straight ahead, obamacare promises all kinds of free benefits. but we all know nothing is ever really free.

the movie is a documentary of the life on the road with the british boy band. other people? >> anna: 24 minutes after the hour now. as the saying goes, there is no such thing as a free lunch and apparently the same holds true for obamacare. they claim things like free mammograms, checkups and examinations. >> tucker: experts say the so-called free perks may have hidden costs. joining us is our guest. you're telling me that all this free stuff i've been promised may cost something? >> yeah, that's not completely shocking, i don't think, tucker. >> tucker: so what are the hidden costs? >> there is quite a few. basically the way it's all going to play out is you're going to have higher premiums. so when you have to have free premiums or preventstive care, free checkups, a lot of other things about the law, lower

deductible, loco pay, the government says, well, this is great. you'll get all this free stuff. again, that will be passed to you in the form of higher premiums. imagine if all the cars in america were hybrid cars. that might be great if you like hybrid cars. but cars will be more expensive. >> anna: yeah. it seems like we could be getting creative with taxes, too, on medical devices or drugs or what else? >> yeah. so there is a sales tax on insurance premiums that every insurer will have to pay to the government. what's that going to do? the insurers will pass that on in forms of higher premiums. they will tax drugs and medical devices. they'll have to cost more. that gets passed down in the form of higher premiums. every time you tax or regulate the insurance market or the people who provide health care services, that means higher premiums for everyone who pays premiums. >> tucker: not everyone has the same health issues. some are healthy or not. partly that has to do with choices we make. now all of us are going to be paying for relatively small number of people who use a

massive amount of health care. correct? >> yeah. one of the things you hear a lot about in the news is how young people are going to pay a lot more for health insurance under obamacare. it's not just young people. it's healthy people generally. if you're 55 years old and you go to the gym all the time and in great shape, you'll pay a lot more for health insurance. so i think what we're going to see with the affordable care act is a massive transfer, you can call it, a silent tax on healthy people to pay for insurance -- >> tucker: wait, wait. there is a moral component to this. that's so deeply unfair. you go through life making these choices in the hopes you will be healthy and then penalized for it? >> yeah. so there is two elements of it. so if you've been born with down syndrome or something, you'll get taken care of. to your point, tucker, it eliminates the incentive to stay healthy throughout your life. you don't have to take care of yourself because your premiums will be the same. the law bans insurers from charging different prices to people who are healthy versus those who are sick.

>> anna: thank you for your time today. >> sure thing. >> tucker: the dramatic moment a police boat slams into two others in the nation's capitol. how did this happen? >> anna: and do you have a need for speed? too bad. the government could actually regulate how fast you go. details on the automatic brakes controlled by big brother [ male announcer ] campbell's angus beef & dumplings. hearty cheeseburger. creamy thai style chicken with rice. mexican-style chicken tortilla. if you think campbell's 26 new soups sound good, imagine how they taste. m'm! m'm! good! of getting something new. and now, with verizon edge, you can experience that new phone thrill, again, and again, and again. phil can you close your new phone box,

to 1987. the nsa, by contrast, stores information only for five years. they are watching you. >> brian: several states playing name games to avoid saying obamacare while promoting health care exchanges. instead they're trying to promote the insurance marketplaces under their own creation and. in minnesota, the m insure. the ads feature paul bunyan who i believe was fictional. and babe, the blue ox, who was real. the state says they're doing it because many americans have a negative opinion of obamacare. oregon and vermont all have similar names. >> anna: caught on tape, a police boat slams into two boats docked in a dc harbor. oh, man. no one was on board when the two boats were hit. but one suffered major damage. police were reportedly

>> brian: can you imagine doing a study and having the conclusion, let men do things do whatever what makes you happy. >> anna: how about if we nag you if you do the dishes in the first place? >> brian: you want to solve the problem? paper plates. >> anna: are you the guy that if your wife goes out of town for any reason, that she comes home and the trash is piled up like this and there is chicken wings and pizza boxes? >> brian: i don't do that. that's vince vaughn and his fictional character. men aren't like that. we're responsible. i can speak for all men saying we just need direction. we don't need nagging. >> tucker: gentle loving direction. >> brian: right. >> tucker: affectionate. >> brian: but on that note, i'll be a man and do sports. i'll speak to everyone when i say this. the pro beats the phenom. a bit of a pay back, stevens beat williams this season.

law that would prevent speeders from speeding involuntarily. you would have a unit installed in your car to read speed signs as you pass them. if you exceeded the limit posted on those signs, your brakes would deploy automatically. >> anna: first you would get a warning, at least. but still, can you imagine literally the government essentially is taking control of your car and is it safe? >> brian: to jam on the brakes at 70 miles an hour, no. i wouldn't think so, unless you're on smoky and the bandit, which somehow they all survived. i would say this, there are times in life you have to speed and break the law. there are times in which there is an emergency, you have to get there as quick as possible. your wife is pregnant or your friend's wife is pregnant and you're the only one around. and you're going fast. now you can't do that because automatically they're stopping you. >> tucker: this is the liberal dream. liberals hate cars. that's why they push bikes and hov lanes.

they represent personal autonomy. when you have a car, you can go wherever you want. you don't have to ask mommy. that drives the left crazy. they can't control you. now they figured out a way to take the autonomy out of vehicles! you're behind the wheel, but not in control! >> anna: they're finding a way to make it cheap and easy. if this is the case, what are they going to do with all the revenue that comes from all the speeding tickets? >> brian: very good point. they appreciate that when you break the law. coming up straight ahead, weigh in on that. the president delays a strike. now syria is mocking america. did the president's indecision embolden the enemy or give us a chance to fortify our attack? >> anna: addicted to the internet? details on the first of its kind treatment next ♪ ho ho ho

delay destroying his credibility and emboldening our enemy? joining us is fox news contributor, jonah goldberg. thank you for joining us. >> good morning. >> tucker: have you ever seen anything more chaotic and disorganized than the president's journey to his decision on saturday? did it surprise you? >> it surprised me, and surprised everybody. first, i think we need to send the syrians a thesaurus. that's the kind of thing you throw back in the intern's face. anyway, look, everybody, everybody, people who wanted him to consult people, people who didn't want him to consult congress, people who wanted to invade, everybody was caught offguard by this thing because it was so weird, so sort of amateur hour, even the people who really want him to consult congress said not this way. this is such a convoluted mess and the people who i think -- i think they are emboldened. i don't know that america's

national security is in grave peril because of this, but i think stability in the middle east has some problems when for the first time in more than a generation, a president says well, hold on. i can't do this without congress. they don't understand the constitutional requirements over there. they just see a president who blinked. >> tucker: the white house is trying to regain its political footing by making a series of unequivocal cocksure statements. we'll have these specific outcomes. do you think they're alive to the possibility of unintended consequences here? do you think they have any fear this could spin into something larger like a regional or perhaps bigger war? >> it doesn't seem like it. it's amazing how they've sort of checked their vietnam syndrome at the door when they go to work over there. >> tucker: exactly! >> it's an interesting thing. the president has said numerous times how he likes to use finally tuned things, right? in his heart, he's this sort

of -- you think the machinery of government can be calibrated to the tenth decimal place and that's where he likes drone attacks and special force. that's why he likes surgical things. this doesn't necessarily apply to that. it can get out of hand very, very quickly. i understand what the generals are saying when they talk about some of the targets being thick targets, at the ends of the day, who believes in simple common sense if you give a guy another two weeks heads up that we're going to attack, that it doesn't help him prepare for it? >> tucker: quickly, i hate to believe -- some are saying, this is all in the president's effort to recoup his own credibility after drawing this line in the sand. i hate to believe that's true. i don't want to believe that of my president. but i'm starting to think maybe it is true. what do you think? >> well, to me, it feels more like -- and also i hate to believe it, it feels like something out of a seinfeld episode. it feels like he's took it out of spite. one of obama's aides said they

didn't want congress to have their cake and eat it too. they didn't want congress to criticize and get the strike. that's simply something that is -- the nature of the beast when the president gets to conduct foreign policy. >> tucker: yeah. also to bring political considerations into a national security matter is nauseating. thank you. >> great to be here. >> tucker: giving our wounded veterans the gift of mobility. how you can help when the government can't. the campaign to help our heros is coming up. stay tuned for that. first, this day in history, on this date in 1989, paula abdul's "cold hearted" was the number one song. but you didn't remember that. that's why you watch "fox & friends." more coming up. ♪ [ male announcer ] running out of steam? ♪ now you can give yourself a kick in the rear! v8 v-fusion plus energy. natural energy from green tea plus fruits and veggies. need a little kick? ooh! could've had a v8. in the juice aisle.

things like nature. just get outside, get some sun and relaxation, go camping, something i can't do in a regular wheelchair. >> brian: that's why these chairs are so valuable. what really prompted you to take action, scott? >> the independence fund reached out to me to help them and assist them to get the guys to find them for the track chairs. we stepped up and they did a lot of interviews, showing the mobility that these guys get using these track chairs. >> brian: you know what? first off, what happened to you? it happened in iraq? >> in 2008, it was a road side bomb outside sadr city. immediately took off my limbs, my arm were immediately basically disintegrated. along with that, the concussion of the blast crushed every single bone in my face. i had to have my face pretty much reconstructed. and so i lost my sense of smell along with that. blind in my left eye. i'm also completely deaf and i

when senator kerry outlined the reasons we need to back up our words we were heading towards an attack. then everything changed. >> tucker: the prime rationale, of course, was this is a threat to american national security. imminent threat, the kind that could justify unilateral action by the president. then he throws it to the congress, thereby undermining the rationale itself. >> brian: david cameron goes to the british parliament and said, i need the go ahead and they said no. he says, i'm going to listen to my people, i'm not going to be with america. that caught the president by surprise. on friday he couldn't back up senator kerry's tone. on saturday, he came out and said, i'm not attacking. i want to attack, it's up to congress. even though he needed to get the dream act right away, he had to act and make an executive order. he makes executive order when is it comes to gun legislation, cell phones. when it comes to acting in syria, which he says he wants to do, congress gets to debate. we're not going to rush you back. you stay on vacation in your

tank tops and thrill. i'm going to ask to you come back september 9. >> anna: how imminent can this possibly be if this was something that the president considered doing without congressional approval and was just going to go ahead and take action? and then all of a sudden, waiting until september 9 for a debate to begin? how did this add up and how does this make us look to the rest of the world? some congressmen weighed in. >> bashar and his people are euphoric. the iranians are happy. when the president of the united states said he was -- that it was a red line, he didn't say that it's a red line and by the way, i'm going to have to seek the approval of congress. >> we need to send a message in a unified way that we're not going to prelive rate weapons of mass destruction, let alone their use. if you don't send that message, that has real world consequences. this isn't a reality tv show. at the end of the day, something will actually happen.

people will lose their lives. >> tucker: what's happening in washington now is a whole lot of confusion and its members ever both parties try to figure out what the administration is thinking. even some of the president's aides appear to be completely confused by his change of position on this question, telling various news organizations that up until the moment on saturday afternoon when president obama announced he was going to seek authorization from congress, they had no idea that was the plan. are they trying to distance themselves from his decision? it's not clear. what is clear is nobody really knows what's going on. it's baffling. >> brian: evidently took a 45 minute walk with his chief of staff. when he came back, he had a decision. he and the vice president stood together and made the decision. there was clearly discussion about it. you shouldn't be rubber stamping what the president wants. when it comes to the bush administration, i think it was colin powell pushing against donald rumsfeld and dick cheney for his four years there.

a little later, i think condoleeza rice also pushed back. so they shouldn't all be on the same page. so john kerry was on five separate shows yesterday talking about what needs to be done. listen to what he said about the time line of events. >> so this case is going to build stronger and stronger and the president believes that the unitedñr states of america, for sedation like this, isñr strongr when you have the time to be able to have the support of the united states congress and obviously the support of the american people through them. >> anna: can you imagine being in his position after speaking in front of all the american people on television on friday saying, you know, military action is necessary and it's time to take it? so let's take a look at the time line on everything that's happened. august 21, that's when the images started coming in of reported chemical weapons attacks in the suburbs of damascus. on the 24th, president obama convenes a meeting of his national security council and says he hasn't made a decision

on military action. then on the 25th, the white house issues a statement dismissing the need to wait for u.n. investigators because it says there is very little doubt chemical weapons were used. on the 26th. secretary kerry delivers a speech that says approximately assad was guilty of a moral obscenity. on the 29th, british parliament rejects action in syria. then the 30th, kerry made a case for intervention. on the 30th then, saturday, president obama goes for a walk with the chief of staff and expresses doubt about an imminent strike and then on the 31st, that's when he told the american public he will seek congressional approval before striking syria. >> brian: even though he thinks it should be done. so far we have democrats like janis hahn saying i'm out as of right now. we have also saxby chambliss on the republican side saying i still have a lot of questions. he most likely will vote for, even though the senate is majoritily democrat. then you have congressman

sherman, a democrat, saying, yeah, the president wants limited action, but the proposal he gave me shows an unlimited scope of action. four pages long says he can do whatever he wants as long as he wants. so i'm not going to sign the way it looks. so the president has his committee chairman he'll be meeting with today and then a full court press everywhere he can. i'm very curious if he'll get behind the stump and go to some military colleges and some bases the same way he went to buffalo and syracuse on his let's make college affordable tour. is he going to push for this syrian action right away? >> anna: what is he going to say our end game is? nobody is able to figure out what that is. do we want a new regime? are we looking for a stalemate? what are we -- what kind of can of worms are we about to open? if he's saying there won'ting boots on the ground, but what -- we have no idea what will happen in the middle east. do you want to send your son and daughter to fight on enemy lines? >> tucker: the official position of the u.s. government is we would like to see someone else run syria other than al assad. the president has said, however,

this strike is not aimed at overturning the regime. merely teaching it a lesson. we can finally calibrate this tomahawk strike, hit them just hard enough to stop them from using weapons of mass destruction, but not hard enough that they'll fall and the al-qaeda-backed rebels will take over. i think congress will demand answers to what's our middle east policy? what do we want to see? we're the most powerful nation in the history of the world. we can do a lot to effect change around the world. what change do you want to see? it's not about next week. it's about the next ten years. they don't have any clue. >> brian: we just want everyone to lose, if that's at all possible. police think -- as we change gears. police think two deaths and at least seven overdoses over the weekend are connected to a popular new drug and it's gotxd parents reallyñi wo(: ñ here is what they need to moment we scrambled heather inaugurate to help us -- nauert to help us out. what are the kids taking now? >> good morning. they're taking a drug called molly. it is a form of ecstasy or mdma.

it is considered and parents need to know this -- really the drug of choice at these popular dance music festivals that are held all around the united states. new york city police launching a homicide investigation into two apparent drug overdose deaths that took place at the electric zoom music festival here in new york city over the weekend. one of the victims reportedly told an ems worker that she just had taken six hits of molly before she collapsed and then died. 20-year-old olivia and 23-year-old jeffrey, both died after they were rushed to the hospital. at least four people are in critical condition and now in the intensive care unit at local hospitals from suspected drug overdoses. also in boston on saturday night, police say that three men in their 20s were found suffering from what appeared to be molly overdoses. all three men were taken to local hospitals. this just one day -- listen to this -- one day after a girl reportedly died in boston from a

molly overdose. we spoke with rod wheeler, former homicide detective and fox news contributor, about the warning signs for parents. listen. >> what you want to say specifically is, have you hung out with molly? do you know molly? then you want to look at the pupils, the eyes, because notice that the pupils are somewhat dilated. you'll see a lot of sweating. but the real give away is that the teen-ager will need to eat a lot of candy because molly has a tendency to burn up the metabalites in the body. it's very important, guys, that parents have this discussion today with their kids. >> really important. at least seven people have died this year at similar music festivals. all believed to be the result of drug overdoses. by the way, the festivals are big business for organizers. multi-day passes sell for nearly $200. a real change from when we were young and went to concerts.

>> anna: other problem with that is the price of these drugs is cheap, which is why it's becoming so popular. thanks for that report. >> brian: now your headlines. >> anna: we'll get to that. another fox news alert out of afghanistan. u.s. base coming under attack from the taliban. the insurgents setting off bombs, torching cars and shutting down a key highway for nato supply trucks. this happened near the border with pakistan. three members of the taliban were killed in the battle. there are no american casualties. this morning, there might be new evidence in a three-yearlong search for a missing boy in oregon. the mother of kyron horman says volunteers search crews found items of significance. about 60 volunteers searched near the elementary school where he was last seen when he was just seven years old. >> we're not going to find kyron if we're not searching. i will forever be grateful that they came to help me and i know that if kyron was here, he would

say thank you very much. >> anna: no suspect has ever been named, but the investigation has centered on kyron'sstepmother. is there another royal wedding in the works? sort of. there are multiple reports this morning that pippa middleton -- you getting excited -- the duchess of cambridge's sister is engaged and apparently has been for some time, but didn't want to steal the spotlight from sister kate who just gave birth to the royal baby in july. they're reportedly waiting to make announcement after her 30th birthday this friday. the couple is also set to be plan ago spring wedding. how much do they look alike? this guy looks a lit like -- >> tucker: this is sad news in a way. there is officially no good news now to go to great britain. >> brian: you mean if pippa was

on the market -- >> tucker: not me! i think millions of american tourists flock to great britain on the hope and chance -- >> anna: they were also looking for the booty pop. >> brian: really? booty pop? >> anna: padding for your booty. i don't know if she really wore it or not. >> brian: if she gets married, does she get scotland? or wales? does she do something? straight ahead, will congress approve an attack on syria? congressman mike pompeo gives us a example of what could happen. >> tucker: hall of famer takes a big tunnel through the tumble. but not the kind you're thinking of. [ laughter ] >> tucker: down for the count. we'll tell you what happens [ telephone rings ]

>> tucker: fox news alert. the white house work the phones to drum up support from congress for a strike on syria. it may not be an easy task. president obama has not been shy when it comes to expressing his feelings about congress. >> frankly, sometimes i just can't wait for congress. it just takes them a long time to decide on stuff. we're going to take action on proving ideas to upgrade our schools that don't require congress. congress didn't get its act together. where i can act on my own, i'm goingñi to. i'm not going to wait for congress. >> tucker: joining us, congressman mike pompeo from kansas, he's also an army veteran. thank you for joining us. >> great to be with you. >> tucker: the president has been so contemptous of the congress, on the need to consult congress on a bunch of matters. will this hurt him as he goes for support? >> there is no doubt about that.

he has been contemptous. i think congress has to try and put that aside, put the politics of that aside and get it right. and rise to the occasion and make good decisions that are in the american national interest regardless of how the president may or may not have acted. >> tucker: so that's enough right there. the president has to convince you all that it's in america's interest to act militarily against syria. do you think it is? >> absolutely think it is. we've got enormous interest. it's not just about syria. there is certainly a puppet for iran and hezbollah fighting alongside them. but it's bigger than just syria. all the things that are going on in the middle east, whether it's the challenges that we still have in egypt. it's a complicated scenario, but we've got enormous national interest inside syria and the middle east. >> tucker: what's our strategy beyond next month? do we want to see the assad regime stay? if we want them to crumble, why don't we just oust assad in this

military strike? >> that's one of the things conservatives are struggling with. he said i'm going to be narrow and be precise. intentionally miss. that makes no sense. so we're struggling with that. i hope we'll give the president the support he needs to do the right thing, which is a much more strategic approach which says we want regime change. we want to make sure al-qaeda doesn't get close to chemical weapons. if we can get the president get to that points, i hope congress will give him the support he needs. >> tucker: democrats on the left, do you think the president has the votes? >> it's going to be a challenge. i want to work with him and get to the right place. i want to support the authorization for use of military force and hope we can get there.

but he's got to go demonstrate this is not about lobbing a few missiles and not about saving face for himself. this is not about backing up some -- he's got to make the case this is the right thing for america and we'll see it through to the conclusion that he sets out for us. i hope he'll do that and i hope a lot of members of congress will go back to their districts and talk about it. >> tucker: it's a clear standard you've set. thank you for joining us. >> thank you very much. >> tucker: one of the largest school districts in the country is now teaching children about the birds and the bees, five-year-old children. should kindergarteners have sex ed classes? do you hate jet lag? of course you do. the good news is, the cure is on the way and it seems to be over the counter.

>> brian: this afternoon, u.s. endurance swimmer diana nyad is set to become the first woman or first person to swim from cuba to florida without a shark cage. the 64-year-old is currently several miles outside key west. it's her fourth attempt to make the record voyage. this morning, booby traps used to protect a man's marijuana farm are being blamed for his death. he was driving his atv in the backyard. that's when he ran into the nearly invisible wire. that was barbed wire. police believe alcohol may have played a role. doesn't it always. anna? >> anna: 24 minutes after the hour now. they're five years old. but kindergarteners are about to be taught sex ed. but is this too young? for a fair and balanced debate, we're joined by columnist and mother of four, betsy hard. good morning to you.

and attorney and fox news contributor tamara holder. good morning, ladies. >> hello. >> anna: i want to read this statement from chicago public schools on this one. they say by implement ago new sexual health education policy, we will be helping them to build a foundation of knowledge that can guide them not just in the preadolescent and adolescent years, but throughout their lives. so betsy, i'm gog start with you on this one. if you're a mother and you happen to be watching miley cyrus' performance at the vma's, all of a sudden you have explaining to do. is this going to start unnecessary conversations between kindergarteners and their parents or has the school taken charge and shouldn't be doing it? >> let's step back further and look at the chicago public schools. they have a situation where barely half of the kids in chicago public schools can read and write and test at grade level. we have a situation where so many of the neighborhoods surrounding the schools are so violent, the security guards have to be hired so kids can get to school without getting shot. by the way, the chicago public

schools are running a billion dollars deficit right now. but somehow it's suddenly priority to take what used to start in the fifth grade and put it all the way down to kindergarten where let's face it, a lot of the values kids will be taught may be very taught than what they're being taught at home of the at that age, they're way too young to be able to process that accurately. leave miley cyrus out. there is other problems to start us off. >> anna: could it help with anti-bullying? >> well, yeah. i think that's one of the issues that we're seeing now and we're dealing with, this new social media movement that you and i didn't have when we were growing up. but look, there is a bigger problem here and the article that kind of brought this to light was this town hall article that mentioned things like gay relationships and how dare we indoctrinate our children in the public schools? it's really not about religion. it's about -- or just bullying. it's about the fact that we have

the highest teenage pregnancy rate in an industrialized country. sorry, i can't speak this holiday weekend. but -- and also the fact that 24% of kids age 13 to 24 years old are the highest rates of those getting hiv. these -- >> anna: you want to do anything to lower rates of teen pregnancy and std's for sure, but is it the government's role, is it the public school system's role to come in and teach five-year-olds about body parts that maybe parents aren't ready to talk about, betsy? >> i think so. >> anna: go ahead. >> i don't think it is. she touched on one of the issues at play here and that's, look, the stated goal is to talk abouter, for instance, different family structures and whether single parents or single dad or two dads or two moms or whatever the case is, that all of them are equally great.

but as a woman who until very recently was a single mom for eight years, i can tell you that family structure really matters. men and women are very different. they bring very different things to relationships, to parenting, to children, and millions of parents, like me, want our kids to know that whatever family situation they're in at the moment, they deserve to have a mom and dad in the home. now, i'm not saying -- i am not suggesting that they have to teach that. what i am asking is, why does the chicago public schools have to teach children in kindergarten something so differently suddenly out of the blue? >> anna: ladies, we have to leave it there. but i'm sure our viewers are getting fired up on this one. hit us up on facebook and twitter to weigh in. 28 minutes after the hour now. what's in a name? apparently a lot if the name is obamacare. wait until you hear what states are doing to fool you into the president's unpopular plan. and it's the last hurrah for summer grilling. how you can make the most of

this as syria mocks the white house, calling it an historic american retreat. the situation causing a lot of concern around the world. >> brian: conner powell is around the world. he's in jerusalem with the very latest to get the perspective from the outside in. hey, conner. >> hi. privately israeli officials are deeply concerned about the situation in syria in the last of lack of american response. they see this as a test case for how america will handle the iranian problem. but publicly, peres saying he has faith in president obama and prime minister netanyahu issued a statement saying israel is prepared for any possible scenario. but the big fear here again is that the u.s. hesitation in syria will only embolden iran's nuclear ambitions. adding to the concerns not only here in israel but across the entire region, russia today announcing that it's sending a naval reconnaissance ship to the eastern mediterranean. fox learned the american

aircraft carrier uss nimitz is on the way. as tensions remain high in the region, there seems to be an influx of warships, russian and american. while the u.s. looks like -- u.n. looks like a dead end for the obama administration in terms of authorizing force, the arab league issued a statement urging international action against syria, accusing the assad regime of using chemical weapons. but brian, the arab league stopped short of saying that the u.s. should use military force to sort of deter assad from using chemical weapons again. very complicated situation with tensions really high here and a lot of problems sort of bubbling up here in terms of the assad regime and also iran, sort of a future problem. back to you. >> brian: wow. they're a mess. thank you very much. >> tucker: if you think the extent of spying at the nsa is troubling, you may be in for a shock. that's because the "new york times" reports the dea has access to a database that is much bigger than the one the nsa

has access to called the hemisphere project. at & t employees are placed -- >> brian: rand paul just passed out. >> tucker: he did? good reason. because at and t employees are placed in drug fighting units with agents and detectives. you never heard of any of this before. those employees get access to all calls that go through an at & t switch board and not just calls made by at and t customers. those records go all the way back 26 years to 1987. the nsa, by contrast, only stores call information for a scant five years. >> brian: stick around for my story. several states playing name games to avoid saying obamacare when they're promoting health care exchanges. they're trying to proposal the insurance marketplaces as their own creation. minnesota, they have this name, m insure. they feature paul bunion and babe the blue ox. state officials say they're doing it because many americans have a negative opinion of obamacare. oregon and vermont thinking of using their own ox logo.

>> tucker: caught on tape, a police boat slams into two boats docked in a washington, d.c. harbor. watch this. no one was on board the boats when they were hit. but one suffered major damage. police reported they were responding to a call of people in the water when it happened. but going too fast to make that turn. officials are investigating and have been in touch with the owner of the damaged boat. no word if the city plans to pay for the damages it caused. but don't hold your breath. >> brian: was it flipper that had the air boat? thet the turn around like that to fight crime? >> tucker: right. >> brian: never happened. you talk about things inadvertently happening, check this out. former nfl superstar ronnie lott talking about ucla, literally fell off his chair. >> down goes lott. >> brian: and nobody cares!

he was trying to throw his wallet to make a point during a post-game show but forgot he was on a platform and his wheels weren't locked. he falls off the stage. nobody even -- they just continue talking. no one even cares if he's all right. you figure, it's ronnie lott, he played for 100 years. he'll be fine. he gets up, a little embarrassed, but just continues the conversation, only standing. nascar, you got a girlfriend and she notices that you got in a fight, trouble on the course. she sticks up for you. slapping racer max pappas. microscope has her as his main screen. pappas says he has a dislocated jaw, but he didn't do anything because he says he doesn't hit a woman. the woman apparently upset because her boyfriend bump -- pappas bumped her boyfriend. he's considering legal action. how could that slap break your jaw. >> tucker: what an awesome

girlfriend. fierce. love it. >> brian: sometimes can boomerang. talk about a woman who does not have a temper. >> tucker: yes! , an extreme weather alert. recent fires allowed water to rush down, nothing to hold it back. residents came hope to roads completely washed out. no one hurt. officials say it could be days before the mess is cleaned up. janis dean is live on the plaza with details. >> hello. let's take a look at the satellite radar imagery. we have the potential for more flooding in those vulnerable areas. look how much rain they got in the 48 hours. has say g north of that region, got two to four inches. that's insane. the ground can't absorb the moisture and they expect more rain in and around the southwest, up towards the northwest where we have flash flood watches and warnings, additional one to two inches. yes, they need the rainfall, but it's too much of a good thing. they'll see the potential for flooding. be real careful.

you can see on the radar where we're seeing the rain and thunderstorms, as well, parts of the northeast under flash flood watches and warnings as we can see the potential for some storms today. there is your labor day forecast. the central u.s. looks spectacular. spectacular for barbecues. i love the smell of barbecue in the morning, anna! >> anna: it's labor day and everybody has that on their mind. are you firing up the grill today? labor day weekend is the unofficial end of summer. here with some great tips and tricks to save cash and maximize flavors is our guest. you've got four different types of meat that we can grill and as far as chicken goes, you have some advice, double breasted is the best? >> if you can buy the whole breast, it's easier. at home, it's not really hard to turn it over and take the middle bone out. just crack it and run your fingers along the side of the bone and it will pull right out.

you pull the middle bone right out. >> anna: you want to keep the skin on 'cause that will hold on the flavor. >> it helps protect it. then put it on the grill like that, and it will keep more juice that way. the skin will protect it. once it's done, it's not only easy for your guest to cut, it will be easier when it's left over. >> anna: fewer times to flip on the grill. >> absolutely. >> anna: how about turkey? >> turkey, before it gets expensive for the holidays, london broil is a great thing to take advantage of. it's again, a half a turkey breast. if you can't get it with the skin, you want to marinate overnight to protect the juiciness. get them in all different sizes. you can feed a lot of people and again, great leftover, great nonprocessed food for sandwiches for the kids. >> anna: as far as ham, it's probably the easiest thing to do. >> you can get a ham steak or a boneless ham like this and just cut it in half down the middle this way and you have a piece

that will cook just like a london broil right on the grill. wipe pineapple, mango, like hawaii, and off nice summer barbecue. >> anna: for leftover, make a salad. thanks very much. janis is dancing the whole time! >> i love it! nicely done. >> tucker: i think we're missing out. >> brian: i'm so confused. i've never seen steak get two women happier. something about steak gets our weather department head crazy. tomorrow dessert, see her reaction. first he said he was ready to strike. now the president wants to go to congress. so why the change of heart? our next guest says it's his way out of a tough decision. michael goodwin never ducked a tough decision. he'll be joining us live. >> tucker: it was a one in a million shot.

right after the president made that decision, david axelrod said aha, he tweeted, now congress is like the dog that caught the car. this is only about politics. it's only about shifting the burden to congress, kick the can to congress. make them make the decision that i, the commander in chief, do not have the courage to make myself. >> brian: also i get the sense that behind the scenes, secretary of state kerry, maybe even defense secretary hagel and others were stunned by this decision. out of all the scenarios, they weren't expecting this. >> they were shut out of the final conversations. the president met with few aides friday night, but he didn't talk to the state department. didn't talk to the defense department or the c.i.a., for all we know. it was simply a white house team that made this decision and look, i think the president, he's famous for -- infamous for not listening to anybody who disagrees with him. that's the way he governs. we've seen it with his dealings with congress. everything is about politics.

so after his speech, he goes and plays golf. it's almost as though he thinks of himself as a houdini. he escaped this great problem that he had built for himself and he was proud of himself for getting out of it by kicking the can to congress. this is internal baseball. what about what's really going on in syria and the middle east? >> brian: how does this end up? does he lose the vote in congress? what does he do? if he win, what does he do? >> i think he has to win the vote in congress. i think congress has to support something, if only because it's bad for the world. it's bad for the world when america abdicate's its leadership. i think congress will come through in the end because the burden is on them. but i still think the issue is not just syria, it's not just obama's politics, it's iran. it's north korea, it's the bad guys are winning. the president seems as though as long as he's politically okay,

that's all that matters. >> brian: i just keep thinking about that book just written by the johns hopkins professor, "the dispensable nation." we're seeing the world as if we played no role. >> that's right. look, america built the great global order that emerged after world war ii. for 60 years it has created immense prosperity around the globe and many, many democracies have been born. it's all coming undone now because america is abdicate'ing its leadership role. it's a difficult job and often unpopular. none the less, it has worked to improve the world. this president is abdicating that role. >> brian: i know you're optimistic they'll get something passed because it's the right thing to do. but when you look at the house and the democrats are saying after the meeting, what the republicans are saying, he can't even definitely carry the senate right now. we'll see he'll have to do his best persuading.

>> it's going to be very difficult, but he'll have to craft an idea, resolution that the congress has confidence he will carry it out. >> brian: go follow michael goodwin at ny post.com. thank you, michael. >> my pleasure. >> brian: 11 minutes before the top of the hour. it was a one in a million shot. we're asking that golfer how he hit the perfect shot to get a hole in one. why not transition to another guy getting a hole in one in a moment's notice? bill hemmer for what's coming up at the top of his hour on his show. >> are you keeping tucker awake today? >> brian: i heard about that. he's wide awake. i gave him vivarin in his tea. >> hell him hello for me. there is a lot of breaking news on syria and what happens next. more military assets heading toward the mediterranean. the president is going for john mccain support today. senator mccain will be at the white house soon.

general keane is here, k.t. mcfar land is here. we'll talk to a congressman from ohio who was briefed yesterday. wait until you hear his reaction on that meeting. plenty to cover at the top of the hour. we'll see you then on this labor day we'll be like, "whoa!" weight watchers. join for free. because it works. hurry, join by september 14th and you'll get a free month. chose prego traditional over ragu traditional. prego?! but i buy ragu.

that. underdog had that years ago. >> anna: you're going to love this. talk about the shot of a lifetime. oh, man! massachusetts man winning a million dollars, you heard it right -- after sinking a shot from 150 yards away. his first call, to his wife. >> i just won a million dollars. [ cheers and applause ] yeah, i'm serious. >> brian: joining us right rite now to talk about that incredible moment, here is jeff barton himself. jeff, set the stage, why were you 150 yards away from the hole golfing for charity? >> brian, it was an event benefitting east mountain high school out in albuquerque, new mexico. the tournament was over and we were finishing up our dinner and they had a few folks that had

qualified to get out there to have three individuals shoot for a car and then a couple others to shoot for a million dollars and i happened to be the only name drawn out of a hat. believe me, i was sitting at a table when they drew my name, my first thought was oh, no. i would have to do this in front of all these folks watching. but i went out there. they measured 150 yards out on the 9th hole. the first five or so folks went and they were all really good golfers. believe me when i tell you, i am not a good golfer by any stretch of the imagination. i hadn't hit a shot all day. then it was my turn and all i wanted to do was to hit a good shot that got onto the green so i didn't embarrass myself. then the fact that it went in was just something i still don't comprehend. >> anna: yeah. i imagine the feeling is just unbelievable. what are you planning on doing with all the cash? >> well, i have two young children at home, samantha, my little girl is four, and alex, my little boy is two. so we'll put this away for their

college education. >> brian: all because you wanted to help a friend out with a charity, right? >> peter nyland is a wonderful friend and it's a wonderful event in new mexico. so it's my pleasure to always support peter in east mountain high school. >> brian: when is the next time you're golfing? >> not for a couple of weeks. i truly don't golf that much. so that's why this is so unbelievable and i owe a debt of gratitude to mitch lopez, an 18-year-old senior in east mount high school who had the presence of mind to film this. not only to get the ball going in the hole, but to get the crowd behind that. erupt not guilty applause. forever grateful for him having the presence of mind to tape the video. >> brian: your kids are lucky and your very skilled. i don't think that was luck. thanks so much. congratulations. >> brian, thank you so very much. >> anna: 56 minutes after the hour. more "fox & friends" just three minutes away ♪
