>> randy says as long as they keep stronger activities available as well for those who wish to participate. >> thanks to those who responded. >> but dodge ball is so much fun. >> y'all have a great day. "fox & friends" is now. bye. good morning. it is tuesday, june 17. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. we begin with a fox news alert. an entire town uprooted by two deadly tornadoes. >> i've never seen anything like this in my life. >> nebraska has declared a state of emergency as authorities scour the rubble for survivors. >> meanwhile, insurgents making dangerous gains in iraq. and now after vowing no boots on the ground on friday, yesterday the president is sending more u.s. troops to iraq. is this strategy a smart move? we're going to break it down.

>> one game, one victory, and a country happy. >> u.s.a.! >> more than -- more from the team, u.s.a.'s shocking upset at the world cup. the team that knocked them out of the world cup two times yesterday lost. our guys won. we'll give you more details because mornings are better with friends. >> it's "fox & friends." >> hi everybody. welcome to studio e. elisabeth, good to have you back today. >> it is great to be back. i'm glad you guys had a nice weekend, i heard. >> studio e, after elisabeth? is that why it's the "e" studio? maybe that is it. >> next thing you know, it will be the "e" channel. >> i'm sitting right here and that's all i have to say. we have terrible weather that has been moving

across. >> we'll start with an extreme weather alert. a terrifying sight as twin tornadoes ripped through america's heartland. >> i hope they're taking shelter! please be taking shelter! oh no! >> take a look at this, twin tornadoes about a mile apart as they touch down on the little town of pilger in nebraska. at least two people are dead including a five-year-old child. dozens more hurt. >> the residents say it looks like a complete war zone. a home ripped from its foundation. hard to look at. this morning people begin the painful process of picking up the pieces. >> maria molina joins us now from the weather center. that was a part of a storm system that continues to march to the east today. >> that's right. it is a very slow mover. we're going to be seeing a more widespread area today

that could be seeing severe weather. the same area hit by those two twin tornadoes across northeastern nebraska could see more severe storms today. as we head into tomorrow, that same area again could be seeing severe weather. so we're looking at a stretch of severe weather anywhere from the center of the country to even parts of the northeast. yesterday something very rare unfolded in northeastern nebraska. as you can see on your screen, two twin tornadoes touching down right next to each other. and i think what makes this so unique is the magnitude or the intensity of these two tornadoes that touched down right next to each other producing all kind of damage and devastation across northeastern parts of nebraska. let's show you the areas that could be seeing severe weather today. anywhere from eastern montana, parts of the dakotas, nebraska, through the great lakes and even into the northeast could be seeing the threat for large hail, damaging winds and isolated tornadoes. yesterday there were more than 400 reports of severe weather. so please take this risk very seriously.

by tomorrow from the center of the country to parts of the northeast you could be seeing more severe storms. because similar areas are being hit hard by storms, we also have the risk for flooding. several inches of rain expected for parts of the northern plains through the northeast. so flash flooding is going to be a concern especially with localized storms that produce a lot of heavy rain. >> keep an eye on the sky today. maria, thank you. >> it's been stormy here, as you know. it's been really stormy in iraq as the terrorist group isis is going through that country, all the areas we've been able to settle in the anbar province are falling like dominoes to this group. what can we do to stop it? what should we do to stop it? we think we have one thing in common with iran. we would like baghdad to stay under their elected rulers. we're going to be fighting shoal to -- shoulder to shoulder with the iranians.

i'm not really comfortable with that because their objectives are different. if the iranians are in, the saudis are upset. if the iranians are in, maybe the turks will be upset. it could be a mess. the only thing we can count on is ourselves. what will we commit our military to do? >> yesterday john kerry had to go back on a couple of statements he made in terms of having conversation through shinseki, press secretary over there at the white house, there is concern over relationship that iran may play here. remember last friday when the president said we're not putting boots on the ground. we're going to support perhaps otherwise but no boots on the ground. now a little bit of a flip-flop. >> we've got boots on the ground going over there. the white house is send at least 100 special operators in a training and advisory capacity over there. it's unclear at this point whether or not any of the 275 u.s. personnel we're sending over there are going to be used to select targets or call in

airstrikes. here's the thing about airstrikes. they say that drones really, while the iraqis asked for them for awhile, they really can't help. the airstrikes, if the bad guys are coming in on the main road to baghdad, they could take them out. that would be effective. but unfortunately, unless you've got guys on the ground who can actually show you where the guys are that you want to blow up, you really cannot be very effective with the airstrikes. also if you don't have boots on the ground it's almost impossible to verify a hit. instead you wind up being open to propaganda with the americans that killed a whole pwufrpl of people, they -- whole bunch of people. >> not to mention, the c.i.a. and pentagon, those years invested in iraq in establishing a government and relationship with iraqis who are helping get themselves on their feet side by side with their own troops there, that information was gathered over years. to be able to acquire a relationship and understand what the intention is and who the bad guys are, that

is not something you can decide to get back in there and find out now. >> we abandoned. the sunni awakening was done because they didn't want to be part of this? insurgency. they knew the terrorists were terrible people. we also paid them. we told the iraqi government you've got to pick up the slack here. pay these guys and keep them on board. they immediately stopped doing it so we dealt them out. we can get them back, as general keen writes today, get them back on our side. and who can blame them if they're not any longer and get them off the terrorist side maybe we can regain. brit hume talked about the president's approach and his contemplative methods. >> the presidency is a job that shows you the difference between being smart and being wise. this president is smart enough. he is not wise enough for the job, in my judgment. and he is continually now, because of mistakes made in

the past, issues neglected, the chickens are coming home to roost and coming home in droves. >> there is one other problem if they decide to do some airstrikes. they don't know exactly who isis is. because some at the pentagon and the c.i.a., they think a number of the people could be former allies who could be turned against isis if they are identified. there is an item in "the washington post" today that says many of the local people sick with al-maliki actually, when they roll into town, they go okay, i've got a gun. i'm on your side. >> some would say, we lost influence there and that's why we are in the situation. >> heather nauert, do you have other news? >> we've heard about those 30% of gitmo detainees who returned to terror, i've got a story about one of them. spanish police breaking up a terror recruitment network in madrid. the ringleader, a former gitmo prisoner. cops say that this guy sent

also to iraq toght in fight alongside the terror group isis. cops arresting ten people in all. the former gitmo detainee is a spanish national and he spent four years at guantanamo bay after he was captured in afghanistan back in 2001 allegedly for fighting with the taliban. we'll keep watching this story. new video coming out this morning showing a fast-moving wildfire and it's threatening two native american communities in the state of new mexico. the flames forcing 400 people to knee their homes. crews -- to flee their homes. the forecast there, predicting strong winds and high temperatures. so far this fire burned 17 square miles. a lot of put a whole bunch of keys on our key chain. listen to this story. there is another recall by general motors for cars with potential ignition key problems. g.m. says the keys need to be replaced. they need to replace keys

with not only here in the united states but now internationally. from a recent tea party victory against house majority leader eric cantor to a tea party surge overseas, more and more voters seem to be asking for limited government. so what impact will this have on the 2016 mid terms? joining us is fox news contributor and author of "big tent: the story of american revolution." mallory factor. thank you for joining us. over the last three mainstream media has been trying to tell everybody tea party dead. >> the tea party is not dead but it's not a party. what the tea party is, it's a movement and what tea party has done, it's pushed candidates in a direction. people feel so alienated. the establishment runs our parties, runs our government. the elites run it. the tea party is a people power movement. >> the tea party doesn't necessarily have to win an election to be effective as long as they push the conservative candidate more to the right? >> it's pushing candidates

even in the democratic party to the right. >> mallory, we put up a map and it shows the tea party's global influence. explain how the tea party moved to the united kingdom, france, denmark, india, places like that. >> the tea party has moved all over the world. in united kingdom, in 100 years no third party has won an election. in the recent elections there, the ukip party or as they call them tea kippers, they won. you're seeing it in denmark, france, also india. it is amazing. people feel alienated by government and the elites in the establishment want things their way. the tea party is a people movement, and people do not want the elites running things. that's what happened in virginia with the majority leader and that's why david brat won. it wasn't about immigration necessarily. it wasn't about spending. it was about people feeling

that they weren't being represented. >> it's not just in the united states? it's all around the world where people are going the government is a little too big, a little too in my face. it's got to back off? >> people want it to back off and they are tired also of political correctness. a lot of these movements are real grass roots. >> it's interesting. richard vigory says the goal of the tea party not to elect tea party candidates but to change america to effect public policy. >> and that's what it's doing. in the 1960's, everett dirksen, the republican leader of the united states senate, summed it up really well when he said when i feel the heat, i see the light. and a lot of these candidates are seeing the light. if you look in south carolina, lindsey graham who ran against a bunch of tea party people, his ads looked like he was a tea party guy. >> when i feel the heat, i see the light. that's a clever quote. dirksen. mallory factor, author of

from it every year but now a new possible miracle shot that reduces your risk of heart attack by 90%. here to explain is the director of woman's heart health at lenox hill hospital. doctor, what do you mean a shot could be 90% effective possibly? >> what this shot does is change the mechanism of genes. we know the live produces cholesterol. what this shot does is actually turns off the gene that makes a liver make l.d.l. the bad cholesterol that leads to heart attacks. what trials have shown -- and these have been done in mice. but the trials have shown there is a 35% to 45% reduction in cholesterol. what this ends up doing is reduces the incidents of heart attacks by as much as 90%. >> we're going into the helix, let's look at our genes and say i might have

inherited a likelihood for heart disease, so go in there and change it. when we hear about families that have heart disease, young people that are dying of heart disease, most of the time it's due to genetic predisposition. and one of the genetic predispositions is the possibility that the live is making too much cholesterol. this can say we're going to change the outcome. we're going to stop the cholesterol and stop heart attacks. >> that's amazing. where are we at in terms of this coming to market? >> this is one of the most exciting research trials that is going to be out there but we have started these trials. they are on mice. before we get to the clinical trials of human beings, success in the mice trials are great to see, but the next step is clinical trials with human beings and that's going to take some time. >> we're talking about the heart but what does your gut tell stphu in -- what

phone now. as a storm chaser you're used to seeing a tornado but when is the last time you saw two at the same time? >> that is the first time and probably the last time. to have two tornadoes on the ground at once is rare. it happens but to have two violent tornadoes on the ground at the same time and to have them on the ground for over 15 minutes is just, it is nothing short of incredible. i've got to tell you i have never in my wildest dreams thought i would see that in my storm-chasing career. >> are you driving and taping? >> no. my friends are the ones driving and navigating. i was in the back filming the tornadoes. >> exactly how far do you think you are in this shot that we're seeing and the nation is seeing right now? >> that's actually a wide-angle shot with my wide-angle lens on my camera. it kind of pulled back a little bit. in that shot we're actually probably a quarter mile

from those tornadoes. >> not far. how do you know it's not going to come after you? >> looking at our radar, we know how to be in a safe position. and from where we were, we knew that the tornadoes were moving from right to left and weren't moving right at us. so at that point we were perfectly safe. we were ma good area to -- we were in a good area to get decently close. when we came up on these tornadoes we had no idea there was a hit from these tornadoes. when we were pulling up to it the roar was so deafening it sounded like a jet engine. it wasn't until an hour later that we found out that there was a hit. >> did it sound like one jet engine or two? did it sound like two sources of sound or one big one? >> it literally sounded like one big jet engine like you were standing next to a jet liner getting ready to take off from an

airport. you could feel the earth shaking. it was incredible. >> devastation followed. what can you tell us you have seen and experienced since? >> in pilger. >> like i said, we had no idea that pilger had been hit but i did hear there was a lot of devastation there. i heard some homes were levels. we were talking with a family at the restaurant we were eating at and they said they had gone in their basement and the tornado took their whole house. it lifted it off the foundation and completely destroyed it. the parts we came on, there were trees. the bark there with huge pieces of grain equipment. at one point when we were standing there, it was actually -- it was raining cow manure from where the tornado hit farms with pigs and stuff were, that was raining down on our vehicle and covered our vehicle with mud. >> aaron, where are you headed today because that

would indicate where you think there is a possibility of another one? >> we're actually on our way back home to illinois and ohio. as you can tell, there's obviously some severe weather lists today. we're keeping an eye on that and might possibly chase on our way home. but yesterday was the big day. you know, we saw well over 10 to 13 tornadoes just in an hour. it was mind-boggling. >> it sure was. aaron rigsby, live storms media, thank you for joining us today. >> meanwhile, while storms were hitting there was also other news. heather nauert, tell us what's up. >> storms of another sort taking place overseas in kenya and terrorists are warning traourts to stay away from that -- tourists to stay away from that country unless you want to die. al-shabab just declared kenya a war zone after they killed 49 people, including

were lost in the department computer crash and, therefore, can't be t-pbd over to lawmakers who are investigating the agency's targeting of conservative groups. experts say it is hard to believe e-mails can just disappear. listen to this. >> in today's society, especially in such a large organization as the i.r.s., extremely unlikely for those losses to occur. you're talking about 2009 to 2011, that is a really big deal if they don't have the documentation or any method to recover the information. >> not one of the three networks reported on had a story as of yesterday. koskinen will testify before a house committee next monday. it looks like kim jung g un was going for the hunt for red october moment. that gets your heart going,

stuart varney, host of varney and company on the fox business network says we're talking about the future. if you want to make money, leave the united states. >> we are chasing companies out of america with high tax rates. more than that, we're keeping 2.1 trillion dollars in american corporate profits over there. if it comes back here, stimulates our economy, it pays a 35% tax rate. so we're chasing companies out and we're keeping $2 trillion out of the country because of our corporate tax policy. that's exactly what we're doing. >> the republicans in common sense we're going to lower that rate and take that incentive to leave away. what is the problem? >> president obama thinks that is our money. it is not corporate money. it is our money. and that 35% tax, that is due and payable. pay up. if you don't do that, says make it more difficult for companies to leave. that is the democrats' policy. the republicans totally

different. lower that tax rate or give a complete tax holiday and bring the money back. >> how many more companies have to leave before we snap out of it and come together and lower the corporate tax rate. everyone talks about it. >> walgreens is the next to go. walgreens has a headquarter in britain for tax purposes. >> they lowered their corporate tax rate but they can't have stuart back. we lost your receipt. stuart, thanks so much. 11 to 1, we're going to watch you on the fox business network. >> thanks, stuart. >> coming up, a landmark ruling for a pro-life group. why the supreme court says they can sue the state. and that is important. >> jay leno, ruled late night tv for 22 years but what was it like behind the curtain and why would bill clinton refuse to do so? leno's former producer here live. and look who's heading to our couch.

which you could be punished if you said something the government thought was untrue. that's what's happening in ohio because the legislature of ohio said if you say something in a political campaign that's untrue, you could spend six months in jail. >> criminal charges? >> yes. this is the first time in american history, the modern era the government has attempted to prosecute people because of something they said in a political campaign. so they said about this democratic candidate, he is in favor of the government funding abortions. and he said that's not true. i voted for the affordable care act -- obamacare -- but that doesn't directly fund abortions. and he filed a complaint against them and the prosecution began. then he lost his reelection campaign and he withdrew the complaint. the pro-life group that was the defendant in the case for allegedly saying something about him that was untrue said we still want to challenge the statute even though we're thought being prosecuted. the lower court said you can't. you've got to be prosecuted in order to challenge the

statute, which is standard juris prudence in america. the supreme court changed that and said when the statute punishes speech and when you're going to use the same speech again in the future and are likely to be a defendant again in the future, you can challenge that. this was a unanimous decision. it's not on the merits. the supreme court didn't decide whether or not statement the democrat is in favor of paying for abortions is true. it didn't decide that the ohio statute is unconstitutional. it decided that you can challenge that statute whether you're being prosecuted or not. >> okay. moving forward then, who is responsible then for establishing truth or not? >> the voters. individuals decide whether or not statements made in the political campaign are truthful. because the whole purpose of the first amendment, elisabeth, is to keep the government out of the business of deciding whether statements are true or false, accurate or inaccurate. it's up to the listener to decide. in this case the political campaign, the listeners are

the voters, and they decide by the way they vote. if we get in the business of the government deciding what is true and untrue and punishing people for saying things that are untrue, it's like the old soviet union or east germany oregon-- or orwell's 19984. >> judge, thanks for clearing this up. >> thank you. i love that sweater. >> not a bad tie. >> kilmeade picked it out. >> you heard about kids crossing our borders. our border agents are here with stories that will absolutely stun you. plus, he ran late night for 22 successful years. now jay leno's producer is spilling secrets on the best and worst guests they

dave, welcome. >> thank you very much. >> so you have so many stories in here. can we start with somebody we all know and by the way, you've been his long-time producer, co-producer. can you start with bill clinton? tell me what it was like when bill clinton trailing in the polls to bush 41, what did he propose doing? >> he had an idea. at the time it was very unique for a presidential candidate, but he was so far behind bush 41 that he decided to go for it. he came to the "tonight show" and suggested it might be fun if he came on, played the saxophone. he was an elvis presley fan. so was jay. and we turned him down flat at the time. again, it was early on. we didn't understand the politic, how important it was to our audience. he went across the street, went to arsenio and the next week he was starting to move ahead in the polls. >> just like that. of course, that's an iconic image from that particular

campaign. dave, later i understand he refused to come on the show because he just didn't like the fact that jay leno made monica lewinsky jokes a lot. >> i don't know that he refused to come on the show, but i did get some sort of information that -- from some sources that perhaps the monica lewinsky jokes were a little thick. but i'm not sure. but that's sort of just my speculation. >> okay. >> who in your mind was the riskiest guest, you never knew what was going to happen? >> well, it's not anyone you might think. that guest happens to be a very good friend of mine and that's dennis rodman. dennis was a charming guest and always brought in great ratings. we love dennis. the only thing is he was perennially late. he would never get in his limo. after a while, i had to have helicopter and he lived 50 miles

away and i had to bring him in in a helicopter and he was still late. >> wow. paula abdul, we know she's very interesting to talk to. we also know she had a plane accident. had to take pain killers. did that play into her entertaining appearances? >> yes, it did. paula abdul when she was on the air was always a professional, always charming, always funny. i thought it was terrific, her little relationship with simon cowell. personally i think they kind of had a crush on him. but the fact is, she was taking pain killers. she was very public about that. that caused her speech to maybe slur a little bit. but it was certainly understandable. >> right. and i understand jessica simpson said sure, i'll be on. but i want to bring along my hair and make-up girls. how much did that cost you? >> well, she had asked to come on and asked us to help pay for her hair and make-up. the thing about that request is

it wasn't unusual. a lot of times actresses made requests like this. in this case, it was a little bit high for us, around $18,000. >> whoa! >> hey, you can always ask, right? >> no kidding. >> a lot of rouge. >> the new book comes out on june 30th called "behind the curtain: an insider's view of jay leno's tonight show." thanks for coming on. >> thank you. >> late night telling us about the story early in the morning. coming up, an entire town uprooted by two tornadoes. those details top of the hour this is the age of knowing what you're made of. so why let erectile dysfunction get in your way? talk to your doctor about viagra. 20 million men already have.

title. pretty amazing sight. >> what made you think you'd be getting a shot like this? what went into the plotting and standing of this tape? >> basically we run several different weather systems. we gps radar and everything. we got as close as we safely could to where the storms were located. we were lucky to get some of those really clear shots that we did. unfortunately, this tornado, they caused a lot of problems for people and caused some injuries and some deaths. >> chris, let me ask you this: right here, i don't know how close you are, if you can your n you feel the effects of this massive, powerful twister? >> yeah. getting these shots, it takes some strategy to try to position yourself in the right area. we definitely could feel the

effects. we were a few hundred yards from these tornadoes. yeah. it was very hard to film and very hard to drive. >> what were your conditions? >> we probably had winds 90 to 100 miles an hour in a couple of cases. we had large hail yesterday. i mean, we were doing this a long time, so we're used to some of these conditions. but it was tough. >> you've been doing it a long time. but when was the last time you saw two tornadoes, twin tornadoes at the same time? >> the only other time i've seen twins like that was in april of 2012 in oklahoma. so seeing tornadoes two side by side of that size is very rare. that was something i had never seen before in more than ten years. >> it looks as if at least two dead, including a five-year-old, and over a dozen hurt in the storms. and there we're looking at the

twin tornadoes right there. chris, we thank you very much for joining us today, telling your story about the crazy weather last night. >> storm chasers have a method. they know how to do it, so don't go wing it. now another fox news alert. the u.s. sending hundreds of troops to baghdad as isis militants move closer. peter doocy live in washington with the latest this morning and what the president might or might not do. hey, peter. >> reporter: the 275 american troops deployed to baghdad to secure the u.s. embassy are now up against some of the most advanced military technology in the world. ours, because isis militants have american made shoulder-fire stinger missiles. they can blow a plane or helicopter out of the sky and the pentagon knows it. >> it changes the name of the game, for the first time in the last 11 years, we now may see a potential ground to air threat. >> reporter: the stinger missiles were reportedly scooped up by isis militants on bays the

iraqi army deserted. isis picked up american humvees and small arms that were supposed to be used by the iraqi army. meanwhile, the pentagon is putting even more naval and air assets in the arabian gulf. the uss mesa verde, capable of quick reaction, joins the uss george h.w. bush and other naval ships already in the area. far, far away in vienna, the united states has already talked with tehran about isis in iran, a direct discussion took place on the side lines of an already scheduled negotiation about iran's nuclear program. >> we're open to discussions if there is something constructive that can be contributed by iran, if iran is prepared to do something that is going to respect the integrity and sovereignty of iraq and the ability of the government to reform. >> reporter: here in dc, senator john mccain says, quote, it would be the height of folly to believe that the iranian regime

can be our partner in managing the deteriorating security situation in iraq. the pentagon, state department and white house each clarified yesterday the talks with iran aren't about joint military operations. they say these are instead just political conversations. back to you in new york. >> all right. thank you very much. so the white house, even though the president said on friday no boots on the ground, sending at least 275 guys over there. it will be curious whether or not they're involved in calling in air strikes 'cause really if they're going to do air strikes, aside from if the bad guys are coming in on the main road to baghdad, you really need eyes on the ground 'cause otherwise you can't guide things in, plus there is no accurate reporting of what we hit. >> right. and you can't tell who the good guys are and bad guys. the intel there on the ground established relationship and understood who was behind the weapon, what their intentions were and which of them could be sort of lured over back to the good guys' side. all of that is not possible

without some intel on the ground as it's been. will the president actually get back and talk to general petraeus about any strategy? does he have the smarts to get through this, make a difference now? is it too late? does he have the wisdom? >> they want to go back to the sunni awakening days when we convinced the sunnies and paid them to go on our side. but the sunnies know we picked up and left. they had no choice when they were isolated by the al-maliki government to go ahead and team with this government again. can we get their loyalty again knowing we'll be leaving again? brit hume says man, this president's got a lot to learn. >> the presidency is a job which separates the -- shows you the difference between smart and being wise. this president is smart enough. he's not wise enough for the job in my judgment, and he is continually now, because of mistakes made in the past, issues neglected, the chickens are coming home to roost and they're coming home in droves. >> in the pages of the new york daily news today on the

editorial page, they really take a shot at the president. they say while isis expands its reach with summary execution, possibly running into the thousands, obama is left to offload on maliki, all responsibility for the kay i wouldn't say happening and all that's to come. that's the easy way for obama to escape, admitting that he blew it. >> absolutely. considering that our best option might be to team with iran to protect the capitol? >> we can't do that. >> i agree with you. but everybody is talking about how we're doing that. at least iran made a decision. they're in there. they're helping. we're waiting. >> 'cause they would expect to extract a price. they'd get something big from us. >> let us know what you think about this. we'll be standing by our facebook and bitter and e-mail. >> about ten minutes after the top of the hour. >> good morning, i've got a story about a former gitmo detainee who was released to spain and they let him go in 2005. now spanish police breaking up a terror recruitment network in madrid. cops arresting eight people, including the ring leader, the

former gitmo detainee. cops say the guy sent volunteers to fight in syria and also to iraq to fight with the group isis that we've been telling you about. that former detainee, a spanish national, spent four years at guantanamo bay after he was captured in afghanistan in 2001. he was allegedly caught there fighting with the taliban. a lot of us put a whole bunch of keys on our key chain and makes it really heavy. there is now a recall by general motors for ignition key problems that are caused by those heavy key chains. gm says it now needs to replace key chains for 3.4 million cars on seven models made between 2000 and 2014. if the keys carry too much weight, they may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position. gm says take everything off the key chain to lighten that load. so far there have been eight reports of crashes and six injuries. will and jada pinkett smith have been cleared by child

their own and some of them are a woman and a few kids with her. >> what do you do with them when you get them? >> we're going to bring them into the station. we're going to process them, give them some medical screening. with children, they're very fragile. emotionally, physically. you got to treat them different. we make sure they get to the front of the line. they get everything they need that we can provide and we try and get them on to the next stop. >> the next stop is? >> normally it's going to be through ice, customs border protection, ice enforcement removal. >> they say i've been told i'm going to reconnect with family members. is that your job to reconnect them with their family members? >> it's not border patrol's mission, but ero reconnects them. these kids come with pieces of paper with all their parents' name and information, where they're going, phone numbers. kids young as four, five, six years old by themselves. >> these orders came from washington, didn't it?

puddle? i advised him that it was me that did that. >> you also got a funny thank you from a poodle, i understand? >> i did. i ended up stopping out with what i thought was a disabled vehicle, the lady that was out there advised me of the poodle that was in the middle of the road. i went out to -- 'cause the cars were stopped. when the poodle was in the middle of the road, i didn't want him to get hit. so i went to go pick up the poodle and the poodle ended up biting me several times on my hand, causing me to bleed a little bit. >> all in the line of your duty on the average day. at least the kids didn't bite. so it all worked out great. michael green joining us from char lotsville down in virginia, thank you very much. >> thank you. i appreciate it. >> great work. well, it's like something out of a hit show, "breaking bad." you won't believe where a meth lab was just found. and a surprise win for team

tornadoes yesterday across states like nebraska and also reported across iowa. today along a frontal boundary, we could be looking at more severe weather. this area is very widespread. anywhere from eastern montana, dakotas all the way to the east into interior portions of the northeast. you're talking over 1,000 miles here of possible severe weather with all the ingredients in place. we have very warm temperatures, humid conditions and a lot of wind shear. so that creates our rotation with some of these thunderstorms. current temperatures early this morning already on the warm side. take a look at chicago, kansas city and dallas. you're already at 78 degrees. that's very mild early this morning. we had a lot of humidity as well early this morning. that's going to help fire up the storms. and the forecast rainfall out here is another concern. we're not only looking at the threat for severe storms in terms of that hail or those tornadoes, but also flooding. several inches of rain expected out here right along that frontal boundary that today will be producing the potential for severe weather and also into

tomorrow. tomorrow parts of the central plains, including states like texas, oklahoma, kansas, could be seeing severe weather and yet again, from the dakotas into parts of the northeast. let's head back inside. >> all right. thank you very much. meanwhile, we turn to heather nauert who has a bunch of news. >> remember the story of little sarah murnaghan? we reported on this extensively. she needed that double lung transplant and she had to fight kathleen sebelius to get it? now marks a milestone for her. at this time last year she was fighting for her life, pushing for the government to let her have a lung transplant from an adult. now the breathing tube that she needed after surgery has been removed and this week she's now breathing on her own. this is great news. her mother posting this photo of her smiling and holding a pink teddy bear on facebook. her mom wrote, this is the best one-year anniversary picture i could ever imagine sending to

jack patches eight months after it was reported that they might be banned. in november carl higbee started a fire storm when he said the seal commanders ordered them not to be put on. he speculated it was because the flag looked like the tea party motto. it was later discovered that the controversy stemmed from a senior enlisted sailor who misinterpreted uniform regulations. what do you think of that? you see this? he was on yesterday. listen to this one. no more dodge ball in gym class. we love dodge ball. >> ow! ow! my nose and lips! >> all right. here is the deal, in an effort to tackle that youth obesity problem, a lot of schools across the united states are adopting a so-called nicer p.e. plan at school. it would include rock climbing,

fly fishing, yoga and archery and those are some activities being taught. teachers say the nicer p.e. plan won't put kids on the side line and will appeal to kids who are athletes and those who are not. so give them more stuff to enjoy just to get them physically active. >> my entire childhoods with all aimed at each other's heads. >> that is very true. >> and ruined it for everybody. am i right? >> that's your generation. and now the new generation, can't do it at all. yoga. >> i'm sorry, new people. i got to tell you, yesterday was game on for the u.s. monday and a game they had to win against ghana. with the score tied 1-1, that header put them up 2-1 with 7 minutes left in regulation. they get five extra minutes in stoppage time. in the end, the u.s. gets a stunning victory, final score of 2-1. they're in very good stead to advance if they can do well against portugal over the weekend. so an unbelievable header.

the first for an american who came off the bench in u.s. soccer history. >> that was incredible. and this is a victory heard around the world. 86 minutes into the game, am i right there? >> yep. what i'm amazed at, soccer is a niche sport. americans don't play soccer, they don't care. no one told america yesterday, where every sports bar was packed. for example, the place i was at, the blackstone, right here in manhattan, this is from the bartender, shane, right after the goal. >> usa! usa! >> that's the second floor the whole downstairs was done. >> you crack open any window, we're hearing red, white and beautiful sounds. this was shot from peter doocy, is that correct? >> yeah. peter doocy at buffalo wild wing also try to write off his buffalo wild wings.

there are a loft patriots, i should point out, who live and work in the arlington, virginia area and a lot were in attendance. >> miraculous have things transcended. soccer for a while, yeah, the world cup is on. we'll watch it on wide world of sports six months later to oh, my goodness, stop what you're doing, u.s. is playing, chanting and wearing flag. >> that's the key, when the united states is playing. if they get knocked out, i don't know how much appetite people have. >> right now we love being in the big game. >> i think it's two things, you have a good point, but international soccer went through the roof. fox and espn bought the mls for $20 million. there is something going on here. >> there is a great amount of respect that comes with the game of soccer globally. this indeed is heard around the world. usa, red, white and beautiful. >> portugal, look out. they might decide not to show

up. >> what were you drinking at that place? >> iced tea sweetened. sweetened with corona and a lime. >> long island. >> 22 minutes -- good report. >> thank you. 22 minutes before the top of the hour. straight ahead, another 9-11-style attack on america could be in the works. the warning signs from iraq and what the united states should be doing about it right now. that's coming up next. and the spotlight must run in the family. which member of the robertson family there is considering running for congress? >> that one. >> first the "fox & friends" question of the day. born on this date in 1963, this actor played john f. kennedy in the 2011 history channel's mini series of kennedy. who is he? be the first to e-mail us with the correct answer

also swims in the ocean. and member of the "duck dynasty" family heading to washington. the nephew of phil robertson is running for congress. zach dasher hoping to steal louisiana's 5th district congressional seat from vance mccal ster. he says washington needs something important, god. steve? thanks. a fox news alert. growing concerns as the terror tirade in iraq will soon be coming here to the united states. >> the seeds of 9-11 are being planted all over iraq and syria. you don't have to believe me. this is what they're telling me they're going to do. >> i am concerned and i think all americans should be concerned. >> i guarantee you this is a problem that we will have to face, we're either going to face it in new york city or face it here. >> that is pretty scary. with more on the threat, peter johnson, jr. joins us live. >> good morning. i think all we have to do is look at the words of colonel kenneth king who is the former

commander at camp book, a prison in iraq. let's see his experience. >> i was on the flight with -- when we transferred him north to baghdad for final transfer to the iraqis, when we handed him off, he knew we were from new york and he knew he was going to get out, in my mind, 'cause as he left, he told me and the soldiers that were around me, i'll see you in new york. >> who is he? >> and that's the fear, coming to a city, including new york as a result of what they're doing. it's important to understand who al baddadi. he has a ph.d. in islamic studies. he's considered one of the most brutal leaders in the world now. his nickname is the invisible sheik. he was pushed out of al-qaeda in 2013 and now we know that there is a $10 million bounty for his death or capture. eerily similar and perceived by many of the al-qaeda and former

al-qaeda forces, including the people at isis, as logical successor to osama bin laden. a lot of foreign policy experts are saying that the similarities are too erie and too disturbing in terms of the way afghanistan was going in the 1990s to the way that iraq is now proceeding in 2014. we only have to look at the radio address that he gave last january. this is disturbing. he said, our last message is to the americans, soon we will be in direct confrontation and the sons of islam have prepared for such a day. so watch for we are with you watching. >> it's all scary about this. so that's the guy who is running isis right now, this is the same guy we had in prison and now -- >> and released and allegedly made a threat at the time that he left camp book. we have to understand that basically they're engaging in genocide at this point based on religious determination.

they say they killed 1700. executed. not on the battlefield, executed after capture. 1700 iraqi troops. they executed civilians. beheading. they've banished women to the homes in certain provinces and they've adopted sharia law. their goal is a califate. what's that? islamic sunni state led by a religious and political leader. their goal is to unite mankind under islam as the one true faith. to read general keane's speech in the "wall street journal," i suggest you read it. he talks about the risk of one in the entire middle east. that is their ambition that. is their goal. it's not extremism or scare tactics to say that we need to be on guard in this country for another attack similar to the one that we had on 9-11. a lot of experts are saying it's

not in the offing, but a year or two or three, if they build that caliphate they intend to, they we need to be on the defensive and offensive to insure safety in our cities. it's a continuing battle on this war on terror. >> but that would be an al-qaeda nation. >> a region. >> yeah. >> leading with iraq and syria. >> scary stuff. thank you very much. 12 minutes before the top of the hour. still ahead, the school said remove god from your speech. this high school senior said no way. he joins us next to tell us why he included god. first on this date in 1885, statue of liberty arrived in new york from france. thank you. in 1994, o. j. simpson was arrested and charged with murder after taking police on a wild chase in his white bronco. that was 20 years ago today. in '88, this by rick, number one

>> time for the answer to the "fox & friends" question of the day. the answer is greg kinnear. he's 51 years old today. our winner is mary from arlington, wisconsin. you'll be getting a copy of brian's new book "george washington's secret six". well, one high school senior banned from his graduation speech. he fought back this week. take a listen. >> coming before you today, i presented three drafts of my

speech, all of them denied on the account of my desire to share my personal thoughts and inspiration to you on my christian faith. no man or woman has succeeded or built on the account of living for others and not standing on what they knew in their heart was right or good. >> joining us now is that brave man himself, brook hamby and his legal counselor, jeremy. thanks for being with me this morning. you know, brooks, when i heard your speech, it was one i marked to save and have my kids watch. but it wasn't one that your school wanted you to share. you had heard three times that you couldn't include faith. what did the school tell you? >> that's right. now the first and second times i submitted my speech last week, the school told me, as well as their attorneys, that any reference to god or jesus or prayer of any kind was unconstitutional and they would pull the mike on me. additionally, the third time i turned my speech in, they denied

it and handed it back to me with god or any reference to my faith blacked out in black marker. >> look, all those, some would call them threats against your freedom of speech and religion. those didn't work out. you went ahead and gave the speech that was on your heart. what made you decide to do that? >> at that time the third draft was denied, that was the afternoon of the graduation. time was ticking down. i was at a crossroads and really wasn't sure what to do. but as i decided to really stick with what i wanted to give the message and that was to stand up before my freedom of expression and stand up for my faith. >> what was the reaction? >> overwhelmingly it's been pretty positive from the community and nationally as well. i haven't heard anything from the school, but overall, it's been a pretty positive experience. >> maybe they understand over 115,000 views the speech had. well done. jeremy, legally are there any

repercussions here? is there any action being taken by either party, either brooks or the school? >> we'll make sure we pay attention to this 'cause this type of thing is happening more often than not these days it seems. it's a sad reality this that type of hostility has to go on. if go to our web site at libertyinstitute.org, you can read a lot more of these types of cases. it seems every graduation year, we have another school that is trying to censure student expression. when a student earned the right to address his peers, the school needs to listen to him and not try to censor him. it's outrageous that a school would censor, like this is some top secret document, rather than let him express the religious belief he might have. >> brooks, what was the most incredible response you got from someone? >> wow, it was just the shear amount, it's been shared nationally and people around my community have just talked to me and said that they were so incredibly proud of me.

>> you stood your ground there. salt of the earth kind of guy you are. jeremy dice, brook, i want to congratulate you and hopefully you walk in and get that diploma >> thank you. >> let us know what you think about that. coming up, first the president said no boots on the ground. now a couple hundred troops are headed to iraq. laura ingraham here next hour, undoubtedly to talk about the president's mixed messages. and first it was taken off your shoes, then pat-downs and full body scanners. now you're about to lose even more privacy at the airport. wait until you hear this.male ♪ ♪ talk to your doctor about viagra. ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take viagra if you take nitrates for chest pain; it may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. side effects include headache, flushing, upset stomach, and abnormal vision. to avoid long-term injury, seek immediate medical help

good morning. it is tuesday, june 17. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. we begin with a fox news alert. it's incredible. hard to watch this video rare twin tornadoes side by side causing double devastation. >> i've never seen anything like this in my life. >> we're going to hear from a storm chaser who was right there. and an islamist extremist terrorizing iraq. and now our president is sending troops to protect our embassy. but didn't he say no boots on the ground? now we got boots on the ground. laura ingraham is here with the

confusing message. may be north korea's dictator should wipe that smug grin off his face. this is not what it seems. mornings are better with friends. >> it's time for "fox & friends" welcome aboard. we're goingcyñ?ñ?ñ?ñ?ñ? to tellt the big win for the united states in a moment. plus laura ingraham, we've got a lot of news. >> governor rick perry this hour. >> brizzi. if you're watching the channel last night, shocking images out of the heartland. >> thank you for joining us this morning. we're going to begin with an extreme weather alert. it's an incredible video to see rare side by side tornadoes ripping right through nebraska. >> oh!

i hope we're taking shelter! please be taking shelter! oh, no! >> the twisters, about a mile apart, touching down in pilger, nebraska. at least two people dead, including a five-year-old child. dozens more hurt. the storm catcher who captured the terrifying scene joined us earlier. >> to have two violent tornadoes on the ground at the same time and to have them on the ground for over 15 minutes is just something short of incredible. i got to tell you, i had never in my wildest dreams thought i would see that in my storm chasing career. >> then look at the devastation left behind. homes reduced to rubble and this morning, members of the national guard helping residents throughout nebraska with what is expected to be a massive clean-up operation as they pick up the pieces in pilger, nebraska. >> our prayers go out to the families. maria molina, you have details for us on that and across the

nation as well. good morning. >> good morning. that's right. yesterday we had all the ingredients in place across the state of nebraska and also in iowa for that severe weather event. we had a lot of rotation with these storms about a wind shear that helped to produce some of these tornadoes out there and devastating images coming out of northeastern nebraska where those twin tornadoes were record, as you saw. we do expect more severe storms today for a very widespread area, from parts of eastern montana to the interior northeast. we could be looking at large hail, damaging winds and isolated tornadoes. by the way, yesterday there were more than 400 reports of severe weather from these storms that ripped through parts of the nation's heartland. tomorrow more severe storms expected for a very similar area, from dakotas to parts of the northeast. then we see a second area start to potentially develop some severe weather. that's across the central plains. states like kansas, oklahoma and also the texas panhandle could be seeing some severe storms as we head into tomorrow. we're looking at at least two

more days here, including today and tomorrow, of possible severe storms. flooding could be a concern because these storms are going to be moving over similar areas for at least two days. so several inches of rain forecast out here. localized flooding a big concern. those temperatures, early this morning are already very warm. you're looking at temperatures almost at 80 degrees in places like kansas city and chicago and also in the city of dallas. 2003 expect those highs to continue to climb and many areas could be seeing those temperatures make it into the 90s. steve, expels brian, that will help fuel a lot of these storms stretching across the northern plains today. head over to you. >> things are heating up. thank you very much. now on to another story we're following, hundreds of troops need to do secure the u.s. embassy in baghdad as isis militants move closer. this as we learn powerful american-made stinger missiles are now in the hands of the militant insurgents who overtook a couple of weapons depots last

week. laura ingraham joins us now from our nation's capitol. i'm a little confused. last week the president said no boots on the ground. now we got boots on the ground. >> right. the point was made really well last night i thought by george will on "special report." he said, look, do we have the george herbert walker bush aircraft carrier now in the gulf region? without boots on the ground, there is only so much that that aircraft carrier can do. so the president comes out, we're not going to do boots on the ground and we know we have to get some people out of that embassy, the huge complex, and you're going to need people there to escort them and to fortify what could be perhaps a vulnerable position for thousands of americans. so again, this is the most muddled, confused narrative where we have our commander in chief last week telegraphing to isis that, well, we're not going to have any decision any time soon about military intervention. so let me head off to palm

springs for a fund-raiser and some golf. you can't make this up. i think it's embarrassing for the country. i think it's very confusing to the voters and the citizens of the united states. >> also dangerous, laura. don't you think? >> extremely. >> ultimately we're dealing with a situation where we're more vulnerable because procrastination in chief. >> we're more vulnerable across the globe because we have this stop and start foreign policy where the president never looks comfortable exercising military force. he's more comfortable as he was this weekend talking about global warming than he is, it seems, in discussing what could be at stake here in iraq, if iraq falls, a good part of iraq falls what, does that mean to american security interests in the region and frankly, here at home now that we have apparently a swiss cheese border in texas. how do we know who these people are? some of them are just indigent

people from guatemala. but i'm hearing reports from border patrol agents that there are a loft otm's, other than central americans, also coming across the border. these people are very wiley and conditioning and they'll exploit our vulnerabilities while the president seems as usual, very disengaged. >> for one thing, why did we even sell to al-maliki's government stinger missiles? they have no air force. why do they even need them? how did they get there and now why are they in the hands of the insurgents? they also got a couple of blackhawks and may have tanks and armored personnel carriers. this is outrageous. but having said all that, between bergdahl, this, the ukraine, you can't even keep up with the number of problems that the administration is dealing with right now really by their own accord. >> caught off guard. >> and i think that when you heard hillary and her book tour, she said she couldn't have predicted that this isis would

gain ground so quickly. she couldn't have predicted. aren't these supposed to be the smart people? aren't they supposed to devote their lives to studying where these type of extremist groups are operating, which side is gaining ground. who can you trust in the region? who is the honest broker in the region? yet whether it's -- they're always caught off guard. they're caught off guard, oh, we lost all these irs e-mails. they're caught off guard by the obamacare web site going down. now off guard on the border. they're always caught off guard and it's always to the detriment of our economy or our security. and again, these are the supposed smart people. >> sure. luckily we've got our secretary of state on the case. john kerry yesterday told katie couric over at yahoo that the united states is open to discussions with iran about military cooperation and then, of course, the state department had to go into spin control and say, it wasn't military. it was diplomatic. whatever he said he didn't mean.

>> again, they rush out to the media -- i'm not sure why john kerry has to be giving a loft interviews right now. doesn't he have his hands full? is there any quiet diplomacy involved here or do you just rush to the cameras and say things like we're not going to have boots on the ground. i'm not going to decide for a number of days, and we might work with iran. it was like last month that we're hearing that of iranian involvement and syria and beyond, they're the largest state sponsor of terrorism. we can not trust their involvement. the idea that america would be working side by side with iran in iraq after 4500 men dead, men and women dead, 32,000 injured and american tax dollars? apparently if this thing doesn't turn around down the drain? and now iran is our savior? i mean, if they expect the american taxpayers to want to fund more military intervention in the middle east when this is the narrative, i think republicans and democrats better do a much better job of explaining how this is going to make our lives better here at home.

>> i've got a feeling she's going to have a really good radio show. we got her all wound up. thank you very much. >> thanks. heather nauert is standing by with some headlines for us. >> good morning. we've got news coming. a developing story at this hour. news alert, parts of downtown atlanta now on lockdown. we've got new video just in to "fox & friends" showing cops responding to a bomb threat. several street near underground atlanta, a popular shopping area, were shut down this morning when police found a mysterious package in a car that was parked near a police station shortly after 4:00 a.m. this morning. local media reports hearing an explosion about 45 minutes ago and that indicates they say a bomb squad may have blown up the package. according to authorities on the scene, this package was considered to be suspicious and it was located under the front seat of the car that was

apparently being driven by a fugitive from nearby banks county. that man is now in custody. we will continue to keep these updated -- you updated as the story develops. in the meantime, headed overseas now, spanish police, you can see it right there -- breaking up a terror recruitment network in madrid, spain. cops arresting eight people, including the ringleader who -- listen to this -- was a former gitmo detainee. he had been released to spain years ago and then he was let go by spain. cops say that the man had been sending volunteers to fight in syria and also to iraq to fight alongside isis, that group we've been telling you so much about. this former detainee, a spanish national, had spent four years at guantanamo bay after he was captured in afghanistan in 2001. he was allegedly caught there fighting with the taliban. good news to bring you. team usa starting off the world cup with a bang. just 30 seconds into the game,

welcome back. you've seen the pictures. terrible conditions, but the record number of illegal immigrant children that have been flooding into the united states of america. >> our next guest says he's been sounding the alarm about the border problem since 2012. he would know it. he's texas governor rick perry, a border state obviously. governor, this surprises you, i imagine, to the length and how bad the problem has gotten. >> the numbers are shocking when you think about 1,000 a day are being apprehended along the border. >> turning themselves in. >> right. i think there is some thought that this is a calculated, manipulated process by individuals down into central america and guatemala and el salvador, honduras. controversialing across mexico -- traveling across mexico, incredible dangerous conditions. your heart goes out for these

kids, obviously. but the issue is we should never be seeing this happening. diplomatically, i think there is a huge breakdown between the united states and those countries being able to say hey, wait a minute. what are you doing? and let's stop this at this particular juncture. and then obviously border security. we've been sounding that alarm and putting substantial texas dollars into it. we've had a request in for even more dollars going towards border security from the texas standpoint, but it's 1200 miles, the idea that the state of texas should be doing this, i get it. my citizens require me to keep them safe and we're engaged. we're involved down there. a lot of people may not know the resources we actually have on the border at this particular point in time, whether it's texas rangers, some of our military personnel and working with local law enforcement, and the ins and border patrol. they're just totally overwhelmed, though. this president, i will suggest, is totally and absolutely either

inept or making some decisions that are not in the best interest of american citizens, particularly from a public safety standpoint. >> why has he not spoken, done something to stop this right now? >> i don't know. we flagged this issue in 2012 and have yet to even have a response as far as i know, from not just -- not from the president, but not even from his administration. these unaccompanied alien children. that is a huge issue. but also we have record high numbers of other than mexicans being apprehended at the border. these are people that are coming from states like syria that have substantial connections back to terrorist regimes and terrorist operations. so we're seeing record, historic high numbers of these individuals being apprehended. on a 1200-mile border, which we have between mexico and texas, and you think about the other 600 miles, what's going on there in arizona and on into

california. it is a huge problem and a great concern to the citizens. i think whether you're democrat or republican, you need to be addressing this, mr. president, and putting -- we know how to do this. we have surged into sectors of the border and shut down the illegal activities that are going on there. but we don't have the resources, nor the manpower to be able to do that for the 1200 miles. if we did, we would. >> real quick, you've written a letter to the epa and to the government saying hey, these new global warming things are going to kill jobs. >> along with substantial number of other governors who understand that if you put these restrictions into place, 40% of the electricity in this country there about, is developed by, produced by coal power. if you take that out -- here is what you can expect. you can expect america will never be in the game for manufacturing. >> absolutely. governor, thank you very much for joining us today. >> you're welcome. have a safe trip home. >> thank you.

he wanted the ball for his son. so we went down and traded the homerun ball to him and he gave us an autographed baseball, which will be great for thomas to have for the rest of his life. >> thomas doesn't rattle easy. >> take his pacifickier out. we'd love to hear his reaction. >> give it back. >> hey, we want to wish you guys not only a happy father's day weekend, rob and lindsey and thomas -- give it back. >> good things happen when dads change diapers. >> and bad things when friends recommend they take pacificiers out. >> it's a television show. we got to talk to the kid. thank you, family. you are winners. >> thank you. next up, who will replace house majority leader eric cantor? our next guest hopes it's him.

majority leader that you would do better? >> i think what i can do is bring the party together, bring the conference together much better than kevin mccarthy. what we've had is a top down approach, where you talk to members of congress and they feel like they're totally irrelevant. one of my friends told me he feels that 80% of the conference feels like they're irrelevant 'cause everything is done by the leadership. i want every member to contribute. i want every member to participate in the process. and to know that their ideas, whether they're good or bad, they're going to be heard. they're going to be heard in the committees and if they pass the committee, they're going to be heard on the house floor. i want there to be a 72-hour waiting period before we vote on any legislation. we actually have that as a pledge to america when we won the house in 2010. we violated that pledge numerous times on the house floor. i think it's time for us to actually stand up and tell the american people we believe. i think we have a problem with our messaging. the american people know that we're against barak obama, that we don't like his policies, but

they don't really know what we're for. and that's what i think a majority leader should be doing is sending that message to america, the five or six things we would do. >> how much easier would it be if john boehner was in your corner? >> well, it would be much easier if the entire leadership team was in my corner. it would also be much easier if i was coronated. but the great thing about congress is that we don't have that ability. it should be the members of congress that make the decision. each individual member needs to judge which direction they want the party to go. >> congressman, a lot of people saying, hey, you made a difference. you're very strong on the sunday shows. but you're kind of new. you haven't been there that long. what do you say to them? >> that's a good point. i tried for three days to get jeb hensarling and jim jordan to run for this position. they wouldn't do it. they each had their own reasons for not doing it. i just didn't think it was appropriate for just a member of leadership to just ascend to the throne. that's not what this should be

about. it should be about representing the values of the conference and making sure that the conference can decide for itself which direction it wants to go. >> win or lose, you clearly have an important vote for the party and the country. thanks so much and best of luck on thursday. >> thank you. it's great to be on your show. >> the same here. 12 minutes before we're done. illegal immigrant children coming across our borders in droves and some people say, just put them in foster care. our next guest says big mistake. first let's check in with bill hemmer for what's coming up on the top of the hour. have you decided what's going to be on your show? >> we're working on it. got about 12 minutes. >> take your time. >> good morning to you. breaking news out of iraq. what we are planning to do about a terrific line - up on that. mike mccall, john bolton. terrible storms last night here at home. the fallout from the tornadoes today. no e-mail, no problem. how does the irs lose e-mails from lois lerner? we'll try and get to the bottom of that story again today and the pictures from southern border, they get worse by the day. why the u.s. government is not doing anything to stop it.

can't get to get these pictures out of your mind. children packed into warehouses here in the united states after crossing the border illegally. the federal government predicts 60,000 unaccompanied immigrant children will enter the united states this year. that is an 815% increase here. more than 2011. the question is who should take care of them? the government? foster families? if that worked what, would that do to the existing system we have now is joining me, attorney and children's rights advocate ary have a martin. good morning. >> good morning, elisabeth. >> so this is indeed a crisis.

we can go back and say why is this happening? but right now we wan to focus on any person with a heart wants to know what's going to happen to these children here. can you walk us through the steps? who is going to be taking care of them and where is that money coming from and what do they face? >> it's a pretty complicated process. unlike kids who are coming over from mexico or canada, these kids once they get to the united states, if they have family members here, the law says they should be united with those family members. then they have an opportunity to appear before immigration court and make an argument about why they should be allowed to stay and become permanent residents. if they can show they've been abused, neglected, and it's impossible for them to be reunited with their families, they have an opportunity to actually become permanent residents. that process can take years and it can be very complicated because you have language barriers and a lack of attorneys that can go into these immigration courts and actually make these very complex arguments.

so this is a real dilemma for the country. >> absolutely. in terms of who is advocating for them, where they're held. this is a ton of children. are they going to be in these warehouses forever? our foster care system is already compromised and overburdened. what do we do? >> absolutely. i don't think foster care is the answer. foster care systems are run by states and counties. they're not equipped to deal with the federal immigration laws. so imposing this problem on to those systems would just be a disaster. they're already overburdened. kids are being underserved. this is a federal government problem and the federal government has to step up and deal with it. these kids need to have access to quality health care. they need education. they need to be cared for. >> you said health care there and i'm thinking, gosh. if the federal government is in charge, if the v.a. and the scandal and the lack of health and attention that veterans have been getting are any indication of what these children are

headed for, people are saying they should be sent back. they might want to go back. you say? >> well, the violence that these kids face in their own country, the poverty suggests this is a better alternative for them. yes, we have to think about health care. we're hearing reports that these detention centers have deplorable conditions. these kids are not getting medical care and this is a country -- come on now -- this is a country of laws. this is a human rights issue. we have to step up on it. >> what will it take to get the president of the united states to, like you said, step up and say something to make this crisis stop? >> i think the pictures. i think the faces of these kids, the huge numbers of kids. you said 60,000. some reports say it could be as many as 70 to 80,000 kids that we're looking at. when you see these kids laying on top of each other. when you see the kind of conditions that they're living in, and you hear about the rats and the infestation and drinking

toilet water and all of the horrible conditions that they face, i think that's going to move congress. it's going to move the president. it's going to move the american people to say do something about this. >> we want to thank you for being with us today. horrific conditions. >> thank you. >> more "fox & friends" just moments away today his doctor has him on a bayer aspirin regimen to help reduce the risk of another one. if you've had a heart attack be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an aspirin regimen. help keep teeth clean and breath fresh with beneful healthy smile snacks. with soft meaty centers and teeth cleaning texture,it's dental that tastes so good. beneful healthy smile food and snacks.
