look. we appreciate everyone who responded. >> chat with us on our fox friends first facebook page. we'll be talking about the scotus decision in the hobby lobby case. >> "fox & friends" joins us now. bye. >> good morning. it is tuesday, july 1. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. the supreme court smacking down a major part of obamacare in the name of religious freedom as outraged protesters compared it to apartheid. >> i think it's also really important to remember apartheid in south africa was justified on religious grounds. >> are these even close to the same thing? we are going to break down all those angles for you. >> who needs the constitution any way? the president pointing fingers at the republican party vowing to bypass congress once again. >> i'm beginning a new effort to fix as much of our immigration system as i can on my own, without

congress. >> okay. can the president really get around that one? we're going to talk about it. >> big game from a small girl. why a texas cheerleader is being ripped on-line for posting her hunting trophies. is it fair game or is it over the line? find out here because mornings are better with friends. >> this is rick springfield. you're watching "fox & friends." >> first of july already. look who's here today. >> good morning. >> hi, peter. >> thanks for having me. >> we have the perfect day to have a lawyer here, all this supreme court news and what not. as we start, if i were working in the white house today, i'd probably turn the volume down because a bunch of rulings yesterday not good news for the white house. yesterday the supreme court ruled by a 5-4 margin that closely held companies such as hobby lobby can avoid paying for contraception

because of their religious beliefs. if you're going to look at an organization, a company that's closely held and that is religious, it would be the hobby lobby company. it started in a garage by the green family. >> a big deal here that americans should not have to choose between employment and their religious liberties. peter, you can speak to this in terms of our constitution. >> a 5-4 decision the supreme court said religion matters, the first amendment matters, yes, the religious freedom restoration act which was signed by president clinton and backed by all the democrats almost unanimously back in 1993, it matters. and that a corporation is a person according to the statute and deserves constitutional protection. in this country, we have fifth amendment protection for corporations, fourth amendment and now first amendment in terms of religion. >> this is a business founded in a garage by the owner here, 1970, right there. we see steve green, his

son. the president, vice president, the daughter. this is a family-run business that has grown through the years and held on to their religious freedom as they deservedly have a right to do so. >> absolutely. what they were saying is their religion was being substantially interfered with by the federal government and there were less intrusive means for the federal government to do what they were doing. they were saying we did not want to pay as a closely held company, a family business, for abortion-inducing drugs. >> that's the key, peter, because apparently there are 20 birth control devices and pills and stuff like that out there. they paid for 16, but there were four, including the morning-after thing, and some interuterine devices which actually cause abortion. and they didn't feel they should have to pay for it. we should point out that in addition to their religious feelings, they also feel

they should pay their employees double the minimum wage. they do that. this is a great family-owned company. listen to the senior counsel for the becket fund who has been watching them for awhile. >> hobby lobby is closed on sunday, carry religious materials in the store, they pay double minimum wage because they believe that is the right thing to do. this is the way they've run this business for 30 years and they said to the government stay out of it. let us continue to run our business in accordance with our faith. >> 16 of the 20 are actually covered by hobby lobby. they're not saying you cannot go out and get the other four forms. there is no case brought saying hobby lobby is saying we are forbidding somebody to actually do this. they are providing 16 out of the 20 forms. if this ruling had gone the other way, it essentially would have made a huge statement here that said you can have your religious beliefs in your home, in your church, in your

synagogue, but when you walk out on to the street and your work, you are not allowed to. does that sound like freedom to you? >> they can have those beliefs if they paid half a billion dollars a year, essentially in penalties in this particular case. that's what they were facing in terms of the observance of their religion. >> it's about payment. this is about who's paying for what. >> the hobby lobby people said people can have it. we just don't want to pay for it. in the meantime people on the left, the left tv networks the left radio, everybody, the sky has fallen. here's the president of now. >> i think it's also really important to remember apartheid in south africa was justified on religious grounds. the southern baptist convention justified slavery and later jim crow and segregation on religious grounds. there are some religious beliefs that we no longer honor in our government. and the supreme court is simply wrong to honor

gender bigotry that hobby lobby stores are promoting. that's wrong. it's bigotry to keep women away from having basic health care. >> in my view, this is bigotry because if you equate apartheid, if you equate slavery with the belief and the sanctity of life based on your christian understanding and belief, then that's bigotry. i'm not going to value you as a christian, you as a jew in terms of your beliefs, in terms of the sanctity of human life. i'm not going to value your belief that if you have to pay money to induce abortions, that you believe that you're committing a sin, that you're committing an act against your religion. >> i've been waiting a long time for now to get it right when it comes to women. the national organization for some women, as i like to call them, perhaps later will get their facts straight and start representing women who own small businesses, who want their constitutional rights protected. again, don't hold your

breath. >> we've got the senior counsel at the becket fund. she will join us live in about five minutes to talk about this big win. let's talk about harris vs. quinn, more bad news for the president's party and labor unions. >> you'll be conducting a big interview in this show soon. the supreme court says unions cannot collect dues from family members caring for sick relatives based on first amendment protections. that you cannot be induced or forced, especially if you're what's called a partial public employee caring for a family member but being paid for the state, to pay in for the service employees union, to be paying in to other unions that are engaging in political speech, in political campaigns, in political conduct that you don't sanction. so it's saying government, keep your hands off. don't mandate that people pay dues into unions. this has sent a shock wave throughout unions in the

united states as they're waiting for the next shoe to drop with regard to collective bargaining and public employee unions. >> this is a mom versus goliath. we spoke to a mother at home caring for her disabled son and the government is trying to strong-arm her into a union because she's at her house when she's doing what a mom does. this is a huge victory. the other networks didn't seem to cover that. if they mentioned it at all, they said it was chipping away at the power of unions. to what? get into your home and convince you that you must join a union and pay their dues as a mom was caring for her kid? i don't think so. >> i think you're plague it out pretty good -- i think you're laying it out pretty good. >> no kidding. the other networks decided not to cover it because maybe it is not good news for the white house. more bad news for the president. he has realized that his second term number-one goal to do something about immigration, not going to get done through

cooperating with congress. that's the way it's supposed to go. instead once again, he's got a pen and he's got a phone, so he's going to do what he can do regarding deportation, immigrants. you know what? going back once again to the old bogeyman that he always blames. he blames the tea party. >> failure of house republicans to pass a bill is bad for our security, is bad for our economy and is bad for our future. america cannot wait forever for them to act. and that's why today i'm beginning a new effort to fix as much of our immigration system as i can on my own, without congress. i take executive action only when we have a serious problem, a serious issue and congress chooses to do nothing. >> well, john boehner apparently told the president last week at an event that the american people don't trust him to

enforce the law as written, and until that changes it's going to be difficult to make progress on that particular -- >> where's the law enforcement? >> five and a half years into his second term and nothing has been done, as you said, peter. heather nauert is here this morning. you have some headlines for us. a lot happening overnight. >> that's right. the weather has been a real mess in the midwest. that brings us to an ex-treatment weather alert. -- an extreme weather alert. one person dead as a severe storm slams in iowa. one man killed when a building collapses and it traps him inside. >> look out! >> high winds in that state blowing a tarp across a minor league baseball field in cedar rapids. several team members hit in the head but are expected to be okay. those storms are headed east and are threatening more flooding, hail and possible tornadoes. that was actually my hometown.

the supreme court smacks down obamacare's contraceptive mandate ruling companies don't have to give up their religious protections just because they make a profit. but some are claiming the decision is actually a blow against not only free market capitalism but also religious liberty. hannah smith, senior counsel for the beckett

fund's religious liberty represented hobby lobby in this case. good morning, hannah. congratulations. >> thank you so much. good morning to you. >> there seems to be a deconstruction of this decision just in the first 24 hours. "the new york times" says that the court yesterday limited -- limited -- americans' rights. did they limit it or expand americans' rights yesterday to religious liberty? >> really that's just in. the majority opinion yesterday could not have been better for our side. the majority opinion authored by justice alito clearly stated that you don't lose your religious freedom liberty just because you open up a family business. and it went on to say that this particular mandate imposes a substantial burden through the imposition of these crushing fines if you don't comply with the mandate. then it went on to say assuming the government has a compelling interest here, there are so many other ways it could have

accomplished this goal. the government could have paid for it itself or it could have given the for-profit businesses the same accommodation that it has offered to the nonprofit organizations in this case. so the majority opinion could not have been better for our side. >> the "times" also said and some of these liberal critics are saying the court is imposing religion on american employees by virtue of this decision. does this impose the religion of hobby lobby on hobby lobby's employees or not? >> actually it does exactly the opposite. all that hobby lobby has asked for from the very beginning was to be taken out of these decisions ment hobby lobby doesn't want to be involved in these personal decisions between women and their doctors. they don't like the fact that the government is putting them into this decision by forcing them to provide these four drugs and devices that cause an

abortion in their view. and so hobby lobby all along has said please take us out of this decision, let this be a private one between women and their doctors. >> justice ginsburg almost scoffed at the notion that this was causing substantial interference with the owners of these businesses in terms of their religious freedom. talk about how this interfered with the family and how it interfered with their ability to worship and their ability to worship here in america as a free american under the first amendment. >> well, i think you saw very powerfully in justice alito's majority opinion the fact that the courts are not supposed to be getting into these questions of whether or not the sincerely held belief of the green family were a substantial issue here, whether they were really

something that was a grave concern. as long as it's a sincerely held belief -- which it is for the green family here -- they truly believe these drugs and devices cause an abortion, as long as it's in fear, the courts can't get into evaluating whether or not that's a legitimate belief. and that's what the majority opinion said regardless of what justice ginsburg attempted to say in her dissent. so, justice alito clearly said that's a religious question, and courts are not supposed to get into religious questions. >> hannah smith, you made it clear this morning on the day after your victory. congratulations. as time goes on we'll follow up with you about this and other cases. >> thank you very much for having me this morning. a great day for hobby lobby and a great day for religious freedom. >> thanks for being here. coming up, it was a normal day spent using her laptop. then it exploded. could that happen to you too? and can you really get a medical diagnosis from an

paramedics. >> declared dead. you say you took your last breath on earth and your first breath in heaven? >> exactly. >> who was there greeting you? >> i was surrounded by people i had known and loved in life. my grandfather was the first person i saw. i had been there when he died. when i saw his face i knew where he was and he loobd good. >> you had -- and he looked good. >> you had missed him? >> i was devastated by his death. we were very close. i arrived there in heaven and there he is. i hadn't seen him in 14 years. >> what did he look like? >> he looked great. he was missing fingers here on earth, an industrial accident and lost fingers. ep extended his hands to me in heaven and said welcome home donnie. i looked at the fingers that used to hold me and he

looked perfect. >> you're back. >> back and not perfect. >> you had struggles, depression. i would guess one person would want to be in one place or the other. >> i wanted to be there. if you've been there, you don't want to be here. i was in horrible condition. i had brain damage. i was impaled on the steering wheel. this arm wound up on the back seat of the car. my legs were crushed by the dash board. i was missing four inches of my left leg. i was given a poor prognosis for any kind of meaningful life. >> your purpose here though is clear. after millions and millions of copies sold and now this new version where it tells the story of how it affected so many giving peace to family who lost loved ones overseas at war to families who lost children, do you feel as though this is why this all happened so you could communicate heaven? >> i do now.

i didn't feel that before. i was in such awful shape, i had to go through two years of therapy to learn to walk again. i do understand now it seems to have that kind of effect. that is why we released an updated version ten years later. >> short answer here but i'm sure it would take hours to explain what heaven is like. is it worth the wait and worth the fight? >> it is. heaven is a prepared place for prepared people. jesus said i go to prepare a place for you. when asked how do i get there? he said i am the way, the truth and the life. it is everything you think it is. the best thing about heaven is not the music, not the angels, not the streets. it's you are with god. you are with god and he is with you. >> don piper, one incredible story affecting millions across the globe and beyond, into heaven.

the supreme court yesterday smacked down obamacare's copttive mandate.

but is the white house finding ways to side step? >> as we have with a range of other things, we'll consider whether or not there is an opportunity for the president to take some other action that could mitigate this problem. >> really? well, in the past two weeks, the supreme court has ruled against the administration a number of times in a number of high profile cases. is the high court sending the administration a message about its limits of power? let's talk to fox news senior judicial analyst, judge andrew napolitano. the white house has had a bad week. >> it sure has, steve. yesterday in particular, the president's signature piece of legislation, perhaps the most controversial part of it, was invalidated. technically a rule issued by kathleen sebelius when she was head of she'll human services was invalidated. congress would never vote to require the american people to have health insurance that

covers contraceptive services among which is abortion, so because they couldn't get a majority vote in the congress, they issued this rule on their own, forgetting issuing a rule like that violated another statute that congress wrote 20 years ago and that's what the supreme court smacked them down for yesterday. >> see, a lot of people just don't get the historics of it and that is the fact that this contraceptive mandate was an invention when they were running for reelection and the war on women. >> yes, because the president -- >> it was never passed by congress. >> correct, correct. yet the president promised his base that it would become part of a law of the land and as you said in your introduction or intimated in your introduction of this segment, he loves so much to rule by pen and phone rather than by legislation and acted by congress. this was the way he was able to rule by pen and phone of the call up kathleen sebelius. >> and then there was the case that involved seiu, some women

who take care of their disabled children out in illinois were being compelled by the law of illinois to join the seiu and yesterday the supreme court said no, you don't have to join a union. >> actually the defendant there was the governor of illinois. but these are all the president's cronies from illinois. was 100% with them. a very selfless woman decides to stay home to care for her disabled child 24/7. she receives some income from medicaid for doing it. the state says we're paying you income, you're a state employee. you're a state employee? you join the state labor union of the you remember the state labor union? you pay dues. wait a minute. you don't negotiate for me. the federal government sets my wages. it's a paltry wage. it's minor reimbursement for taking care of the child i brought into the world! i don't want to have anything to do with the labor union and the supreme court agreed with her. >> of course. it is ironic that a guy who used to teach constitutional law doesn't understand how the constitution works. >> you know, yesterday josh earnest, the president's press

secretary, referred to the president as that lawyer in the oval office. he's not even a lawyer anymore! he doesn't even have a license to practice law! >> but that's a small print. >> for him it is. >> judge napolitano, thank you very much. >> a pleasure. president obama a very popular candidate four years ago, now a majority of supporters saying they regret that they endorsed him. plus america's mayor rudy guiliani live on the curvey couch. we got a busy two more hours start not guilty about two more minutes. ♪ ♪ like taste inspired by the freshness of the mediterranean. so you always get flavor that's anything but flat. new flatbread sandwiches, try one today.

hour because mornings are better with friends and we must win today. >> it's "fox & friends"! welcome aboard. brian kilmeade taking the week off. elisabeth and i are graced today by the -- >> thanks, guys. >> lot of big cases to talk about today. >> we'll get to that and those cases in a moment. first, a fox news alert. overnight israel keeping its vow to make hamas pay. an outraged israel striking back at the killers responsible for the apparent vicious murder of three teen-agers, including one american kidnapped more than two weeks ago. john huddy is live in israel at the home of the american citizen killed. john, tell us the very latest. >> reporter: first of all, in terms of the air strikes, israeli air force struck 24

hamas military locations overnight. in terms of the teens, we are standing outside the home of one of the teens. let me just step out of the way real quick to set the scene for you. there is signs saying bring our boys back. but as we know, this has come to a tragic end. we're where the 16-year-old lived with his family. he had dual u.s.-israeli citizenship. as we know now, his body was found outside the west bank city of hebroken along with the bodies of two others. they disappeared june 12 walking home from school and their bodies were found last night buried under a pile of rocks in an open field just outside the west bank city of hebron. last night there were numerous candlelight vigils for the teens throughout israel, including those in tel aviv and jerusalem. at this point we understand they'll be buried side by side in a joint funeral today. that's just around 5:30 p.m. here, which is 10:30 a.m.

eastern time. this is around the same time the boys' bodies were found yesterday. so at this point, we're waiting for more information about what israel's response is going to be. israeli prime minister netanyahu said hamas is responsible and hamas will pay. back to you in new york. >> all right. john huddy live in israel with the very latest. thanks. >> heart breaking for those families. last night was a big night. yesterday was a big morning. supreme court ruling in favor of hobby lobby. and religious freedom. so this is more than just a business. it's about a family-run company that was actually started out in the garage, 5-4 ruling here, decided in favor of religious liberty. when we say family, we mean it. david green is the ceo of hobby lobby, started in 1970 in a garage. there is a picture his family. you see mark green, his son, founder and ceo. his daughter is vice president, the art and creative director. steve green is a southern

baptist. they've never hidden anything. on their web site, it says we believe that it is by god's grace and provision that hobby lobby has endured. he has been faithful in the past and we trust him for our future. >> their faith principles became a very big part and essential part of their business. 15 or 16,000 employees off on sunday. they play evangelical music and say, we were not going to pay for abortive drugs to induce abortion and take life and we shouldn't be compelled as a result of obamacare to abrogate, violate our own religious beliefs. >> that's right. what the supreme court said yesterday was the closely held companies can avoid paying contraception because of their religious beliefs. we should point out that according to the "wall street journal," roughly 90% of businesses in the us are closely held. the companies don't have to pay

for it. that's what hobby lobby -- they didn't want to have to pay for these things that caused abortions because that's what they were against. >> by those things, you mean the four out of 20 forms of birth control. they were willing to put forward 16, but it's just the four that were closest to what they deemed by their religious freedom to be too close to abortion. >> we had hannah smith on, senior counsel of the beckett fund earlier and she was making the point effectively that it was about not allowing the government to get between employees, women employees and their physicians. let's see what she had to say. >> all that hobby lobby has asked for from the very beginning was to be taken out of these decisions. hobby lobby doesn't want to be involved in these personal decisions between women and their doctors. they don't like the fact that the government is putting them into this decision by forcing them to provide these four drugs and devices that cause an abortion in their view.

so hobby lobby all along has just said, please take us out of this decision. let this be a private one between women and their doctors. >> okay. so that's what the supreme court says. keep in mind, hobby lobby was paying for 16 forms of birth control. but the four that caused the abortions after conception, those were the ones they were against. also keep in mind, we were just talking to the judge about this -- by the way, hobby lobby, a great company, they paid their employees double the minimum wage, which the president -- as we were talking about a moment ago with the judge, this particular aspect of the affordable care act was not passed by congress. this was an invention by the white house during the 2012 election during their war on women. republicans don't want women to have birth control. >> more about executive action and the pen and the company pointed out in their papers before the high court that they believed that they had a mortgage faith-based obligation to provide insurance for their employees even before there was

any kind of mandate. faith is part of their company. >> right. the government can't ask to you check that at that door. >> and the supreme court agreed. >> right. it's a victory for religious freedom there and probably the worst week that the president has had in a long time. liberal constitutional professor actually says so. jonathan turley says the past ten days specifically, abysmal for the white house. >> what's been abysmal ten days for this administration is one of the worst of any modern president. he was found to be in violation of the 4th amendment on privacy, then another case found on elimination view of separation of powers. now he's been found in violation of religious rights in the first amendment. it doesn't get much worse than this for a president. this is a very, very rough decision for the administration. >> the decision also kind of puts hillary clinton in a pickle because she came out yesterday and said it was a terrible decision. but with the high court -- you

were talking about this a little earlier, peter, they were referring to the 1993 religious freedom restoration act signed by bill clinton that essentially allowed people to get exemptions from federal laws that burdened their religious expressions. while hillary's got a problem with it, her husband signed the bill that made this possible. >> it was an avalanche of democratic support for that. it was introduced by senator schumer, among others, and they say, that isn't what it was for. it was always about religious freedom and it was always about the act of the federal government not impinging on religious freedom. here the supreme court has acted on it and said that the actions of the president and kathleen legalious were wrong and unconstitutional. >> right. the government can't force closely held companyies to push their religion aside and the government can't force a woman who is taking care of her kid in illinois to join a union and pay their dues. certainly not a victory there

for the administration. >> all first amendment issues. >> and many supporters fleeing the president's side. a newspaper originally endorsed barak obama, saying we were wrong. this is their regret. quote, we were wrong. we said things couldn't get much worse after the subpar presidency of george w. bush, but president obama's administration has us yearning for the good old days when we were at least winning battles in iraq. this is the gazette in montana. >> they endorsed barak obama over john mccain in 2008 and then for reelection and they said he had style, he had substance and now they would like a doover, which you don't get. but they say they were wrong. >> they closed that piece saying if you're one of the piece who voted for obama in 2008 or 2012 and regret it, they officially feels your pain. >> heather? >> wow. good morning. i've got another story. coming out of france involving nicholas sarkozy.

a really unprecedented step here. he was arrested in paris overnight and he's reportedly being questioned in a corruption probe. investigators there are looking into financing for his 2007 presidential campaign and also allegations that he bribed a high level judge for inside information on an investigation. he denies any wrongdoing. he was defeated by hollande in 2012 and sarkozy is rumored to be mount ago political comeback. now a extreme weather alert here at home. one person is dead after really severe storms slammed parts of the midwest. in iowa, one man was killed when a building collapsed and it traps him inside. watch this. >> look out! oh, my god! >> some high winds there blowing a tarp across a minor league baseball field in cedar rapids. several members of that team were hit in the head, but they are all expected to be okay. those storms are now headed

union dues for a union she didn't want to belong to. she says the legal battle is not yet over and susie watts joins us live today from chicago. good morning to you and congratulations. >> thank you. good having me. >> when you found out that to get the money to provide for your child you were going to have to join a union, did you think people were kidding you? >> well, to be honest with you in the eight years that my daughter has been a member of this program, i've never heard from the state in any form of communication that i had to have a relationship with the union. it was when i received my first paycheck that i saw the nonmember dues being taken out and had to look at the contract to find out that i was paying my fair share for a union that i didn't want to be a member of. >> why didn't you want to be a member of this seiu union? >> well, because my daughter, due to her significant disabilities of having severe cerebral palsy, qualified for

the medicaid waiver in order to have someone, personal assistant, help her and i get to be that personal assistant. i am a licensed therapist in the state of illinois. i'm a senior disability analyst. and i didn't have a need for their training. i didn't have a need for their education. and i had no desire to be part of a ruin and have them interfere in my home. my desire was to take care of my daughter in my home and keep her in our community. >> sure. i can completely understand that. we've got your paycheck stub and it shows nonmember fees where 28.44 was taken out every time you got a check. of course, that money through the years is a lot of money and that could be money used to care for your daughter rather than line the pockets of a union. >> well said. well put. >> for years you've been paying into this union.

now what's going to happen? are you going to get your money back? >> well, as of yesterday, the supreme court understood that our role is parents, is to care for our adult children with disabilities in our homes and that it's not necessary to have a union involved. so that next step is you have to be determine. we're hopeful that -- we'll see how that's impolicemenned. they ruled in our favor, but it's brand-new. we have to let the dust settle and see where that leads and what the union's next step is. i don't know when to anticipate or expect that those nonmember dues will be dropped from my paycheck. >> surely. there's a possibility you're going to have to sue to get the money back. you've been through long and tortureous court process right now. are you up for that battle now to get your money back? >> well, i'll tell you, i'm grateful, we were overwhelmed and elated yesterday. but i'm also thankful and grateful because it was a national right to work

they know you're recording. >> wow. illinois state police are investigating the video. but have not commented just yet. those are your headlines. we're getting a lot of people commenting on that. what's everybody saying this morning? >> rudy guiliani thinks it's hilarious. bob from florida writes, the police or state troopers are expected to follow the rules of the road as are other vehicles. yes, the trucker did a good thing. >> and mary says kudos to the trucker, but also to the cop for back down. the policeman was wrong. >> and john writes, i'm a police officer and i have given people breaks and sometimes ended up wishing i wouldn't have. i wonder how the trooper feels about the warning now. >> yes indeed. we're going to get to the mayor in just a minute. first an extreme weather alert. severe weather, storms on the move heading east. storm slammed into chicago. there was flooding and very windy conditions in rockford, illinois. heather nauert's hometown last night. >> hundreds of flights were canceled, including maria molina's flight back to new

york. >> she joins us live from chicago where she's been tracking the storm. what do you have for us? >> hi, good morning. that storm system headed eastward. you mentioned my flight being canceled. i was able to get on another flight. we're about to take off. that flight was also canceled. that was the story for so many people across chicago. a lot of flooding we've seen early this morning across chicago, parts of interstate 90 being reported closed out here. that's causing significant traffic across the city. i want to show you video out of iowa. i shot this video yesterday. we were storm chasing out there. the video just incredible. you can see some aqua colored shading with the storm system. it was moving very rapidly at about 50 miles per hour. it did produce some very large hail across iowa. very strong winds as well. there was several reported tornadoes, close to 500 reports of severe weather across several states, including iowa, parts of missouri. you can see on your screen some damage to homes in iowa from very large size hail. lightning here in the city of

chicago, incredible. really lighting up the night sky last night as that line of storms moved through. you can see on your screen just incredible and i have seen several reports as well of power outages due to lightning here in the city. in missouri, there were several reported tornadoes as well with a funnel cloud coming down. there are no reports of injuries there thankfully. so we are looking at this storm system continuing to move eastward and it still has the potential to produce more severe weather. today that risk includes parts of upstate new york, western pennsylvania, ohio, all the way farther west to parts of arkansas and southeastern missouri. we're looking at a pretty widespread area that could see severe weather. today's risk, the main concern is going to be damaging winds, those straight line winds that could produce significant damage in excess of 60 miles per hour. a tornado cannot be ruled out. large hail cannot be ruled out either. by the way, tropical depression 1 off the coast of florida, several tropical storm watches in effect out there. the storm system moving very

slowly right now. but it is forecast to intensify to the first tropical storm of the season later today. it could be a hurricane within the next several days as it moves northward. let's head over to you. >> maria, we missed you. get back safe. we'll have updates on extreme weather. in the meantime, we have fantastic company, mayor rudy guiliani joins us. you had some reaction there with the flip of the police officer and the truck driver. >> i guess i felt sorry for the trooper getting caught like that. i guess it's justice. cops make mistakes, too. he really got him good. >> human moment there. >> he backed off. >> he did. he showed he knew how to make an adjustment. >> sure. >> like our president can. >> make adjustments to reality. >> the president had a really bad week. >> i would say years, but okay. >> you look at the supreme court yesterday with hobby lobby, seiu

thing, and orb thing last week. >> this has been coming for a long time. this whole idea that he can act on his own -- >> which is about to do with immigration. >> it's all in the details. >> he can act on his own if it's legal for him to act on his own of the he can't if it's illegal. we have a government of limits. he seems to not understand this. and he's putting this under attack more than any other american president i can remember. i worked for ronald reagan and for a little while for gerald ford in a much lower capacity. the president pushed the envelope. you try to get a little more power, every president likes to think they've expanded the power of the presidency a bit. this president is completely ignoring separation of powers. it's like it doesn't exist. for a guy who claims to be a constitutional law professor, it's astounding! this is the least adherence to the constitution i've seen of any american president since i don't know when. >> he says he's going to act alone. he may do this to keep us more safe. but when it pertains to the border, we're hearing stories of

illegals crossing in with ties to terror. how concerned are you that he's going to act alone if nothing is done? >> he says he's going to act alone, it reminds me, wait, wait. we're not a monarchy. a long time ago we decided you don't act alone, mr. president. you act within the laws set by congress, within the interpretations given by the supreme court. may be frustrating, but those limits have been placed on you to protect us. >> and there seems to be something going on with regard to the supreme court decision on hobby lobby, now the supreme court and the republicans are waging a war on women. so it's not about affirming religious liberty. with regard to the borders, after ignoring the borroweds for the last five years, to now say now i'm going to take executive action. where has been the executive action in terms of law enforcement? >> the reality is he should have been taking action years ago to seal up our borders, to make our borders secure. that isn't anti-anyone. that's proper security. people should not be allowed to

cross our borders without being identified. if people can cross in without being identified, some good people can come in, some really nice people can come in and very, very dangerous people can come in. it's like leaving the door of your house open and saying anybody can come in. >> sure. when you just look at the images from south texas, if you've got eight-year-old kids coming in, pretty much just walking in, you got to figure anybody, including terrorists or people who have ill intent -- >> the major focus of sealing our borders should be the national security of the united states. a modern, mature country does not allow anybody to walk in without being identified. almost every country in the world requires you to identify yourself when you come into their country. perfectly logical, sensible thing to doom -- >> stop and frisk has been reduced. crime seems to be increasing. what's your take on this? is that the case right now or what we could be looking at?

>> if you ask me what i think the long-term trend is, i think it's a dangerous one. if you ask me just about the last couple of weeks, crime actually hasn't increased. shootings have increased in new york city. commissioner bratten knows this better than i do. he probably taught me this. when shootings increase, very shortly thereafter murders increase. 'cause what's happening when you're shooting? you're just mittsing. when shootings increase, it indicates there are more guns on the street than there were before, which would be the natural result of cutting back on stop and frisk. shootings increase, more guns are out there, those are going to result in murders if you don't get on top of it quickly enough. the mayor is very lucky to have an enormous leetlented police commissioner, who is on top of this. if there is any chance to stop it, he'll stop it. it's a trend. it's a dangerous one. it could go in the wrong direction. but it's still midterm in the trend. he could reverse it. he reversed it for me several times. let's see if he can reverse it for him. >> if you read the "new york

times," then you would believe that stop and frisk is somehow illegal and unconstitutional. is stop and frisk illegal and unconstitutional? >> no. stop and frisk done correctly, you know this, if you have reasonable suspicion that the person is committing a crime, you can stop them. you can ask them questions. it's stop, question and frisk, is really the right way to describe it. >> how many more people have to die before -- >> here is the thing the "new york times" said. it's totally crazy. they take cease not effective. not effective? if you're going to search thousands and thousands of people, believe me, they don't carry guns. they don't carry guns. so we started it. bill bratten and i started stop and frisk. mayor bloomberg and ray kelly expanded it. used it a lot more than we did actually. look at the results. murder is down 80%. 80%. murder in new york, 3 1/2 times per capita murder in chicago and we have the same gun control laws. same gun control laws, we enforce them strictly.

people argue about that. should we? the same gun control laws, what's the difference? why is new york 3 1/2 times less in terms of murder rate than chicago? because we go out in the streets and we take the guns away from the criminals. they're less reluct -- more reluctant to do that in other places. >> let's hope this crime wave doesn't continue. >> this is a very big warning sign and a real test about mayor de blasio. is he an idea log or pragmatist and we're going to find out. >> rudy guiliani, thank you very much. >> thank you. coming up, we've got nearly 7,000 new job openings at an all american company. and we do not want you to miss that info. that's right. team usa either wins or goes home today. but they just got their biggest weapon back in their arsenal. so will there be a miracle in brazil? we're live at the stadium coming up next. first the "fox & friends" question of the day. born on this date in 1952, this

>> businesses need to have the same good electronic record keeping habits as they do for paper records. >> more from the irs video coming up ahead because mornings are better with friends. it's time for "fox & friends"! >> welcome aboard, folks. we got peter johnson in for brian who is out. we've got laura ingraham joining us from our nation's capitol. we're going to start laura talking about the big supreme court cases that were decided yesterday. we know you used to work there at the supreme court. first case, 5-4 supreme court ruled that companies can avoid paying for contraception. it's a win for religious freedom, and yet the political left you would have thought they took that out and replaced it with sharia law. >> yeah. they believe that the right to

abort or use abortive drugs or whatever contraceptive is the favorite of the day, that that right trumps every other right in the constitution, that the constitution frankly itself is an antiquated little document that needs to give way to the supreme audacity of barak obama and his minyons. for them, the constitution is something that you have to get around if you can. when justice aledo did in this narrowly tailored decision is he said that under the religious freedom and restoration act, the definition of the word person has to include these closely-held corporations as it does in the federal law. the court has already determined that nonprofit corporations you can use the word person, actually describes the people as part of that corporation. so there was no logical way they could say suddenly oh, these are not people under the religious freedom restoration act. it was very narrowly tailored.

aledo went overboard, i thought, to say that this does not mean that employers can opt out of all sorts of other medical procedures and so forth, contrary to what hillary said yesterday. she said oh, this will mean you can't do blood transfusions. that issue was raised by aledo specifically and he said, no, no. that's not what we're deciding here. it was very narrowly tailored in the end. >> there was specific outrage. terry o'neill from the national organization for women or some women, as i like to call it, said this. i love your reaction. >> i think it's also really to remember that apartheid in south africa was justified on religious grounds. the southern baptist convention justified slavery and later jim crow and segregation on religious grounds. there are some religious beliefs that we no longer honor in our government and the supreme court is simply wrong to honor gender bigotry that hobby lobby stores

and others are promoting. that's just wrong. it's picturery to keep women away from having basic health care. >> you say? >> well, i think a lot of these women have really bad case of the vapors over this case. they're doing so only for political reasons. they get that most -- i think most people see this and they say, wait a second. okay, so these women who decide on their own to work for these closely-held public companies, like hobby lobby and a few other plaintiffs in this case, that they're now not considered real people because they're not able to get abortive drugs, when they can go to planned parenthood, by the way, we give them $500 million a year. they can go to planned parenthood, they can go anywhere else. they can get their own policy. the government can also pay for it, which is probably what's going to happen. the idea that there is no way for these women to get the very

small class of abortive drugs and other drugs that hobby lobby believes violation their conscience is ridiculous. this is a cynical game they're playing. i think it's time for common sense thinking americans to call them out on it. their agenda failed women economically. women are not better off than they were six years ago in the united states of america. they know it. and they're trying to use this to gin up their old sandra fluke deal. i think most people see through it. >> let's talk about closely held corporations for a second. you're a great lawyer. they're 90% of american companies. what is that? >> five individuals, justice aledo said if the five individuals in the closely-held corporation hold more than 51% of the company, that is how they're going to tailor this case. in other words, if it's a wal-mart, big corporation with huge numbers of stockholders,

that this case does not apply to them. that's a whole other set of challenges for litigants in a religious freedom case. these are specifically tailored. so you could say, look, these five individuals, they own most of the company. why do they lose their religious rights just because they're doing commerce in the united states? they don't. and again, the women can still get abortions who work for hobby lobby. they can still get all these abortive drugs. hobby lobby can't do anything to stop women who work for their company to do all these procedures if they want to do that. none of that changes. women don't lose any real rights after hobby lobby. it's just that those specific class of borttive drugs -- abortive drugs that hobby lobby itself on religious grounds does not have to pay for. that's what this case is about. and any other attempt to spin it otherwise is absolutely ludicrous. >> absolutely right. meanwhile, the president is having a really bad week. two bad cases, supreme court

decided against him. plus he's finally seen the writing on the wall. republicans are not going to tackle immigration reform this time out. i know you're delighted about that. that means he's going to get out his pen and phone. here is the president yesterday in the rose garden. listen. >> failure of house republicans to pass a darn bill is bad for our security. bad for our economy and it's bad for our future. america cannot wait forever for them to act. that's why today i'm beginning a new effort to fix as much of our immigration system as i can on my own without congress. i take executive action only when we have a serious problem, a serious issue and congress chooses to do nothing. >> and only on days that end in y. what do you think about that? >> i pity the poor students who

had to have him as a constitutional law lecturer if what they got out of their classes is that the president of the united states, chief executive can essentially suspend our separation of powers, our checks and balances, which the framers beautifully crafted to avoid the situation that he, in fact, is perpetuating right now where a man who doesn't get his way as our chief executive can come in and say, you know something? you didn't do what i want you to do, so i'm going to take over the role of the legislator. i'm going to be the supreme leader here. i'm going to enact my own rubrik of immigration procedures and amnesties and i'll throw in a little enforcement for window dressing. but you didn't do what i wanted you to do, so i'm going to do it on my own. okay. that means that we don't really have a meaningful constitutional separation of powers. that is not what our framers intended. again, people have to understand this, if the president of the united states can do this on an issue as important as

immigration law, what else can he do it on? i think we should start talking about what happens in a republic when the president usurps legislative authority in the manner he's about to do. i think governors of these border states, they have to make a decision here. are they going to let their states be overrun as they are? the state sovereignty matter anymore? or do we have to sit back and allow this thing to go on? i think congress has to take this very seriously. the president is only going to be stopped, i believe, if a federal court stops him from doing so or if these governors decide, you know something? this doesn't work for us. we're going to do what we can to enforce these borders. you want to send troops down to stop us, okay. but we have an obligation to our states and our citizens. i think he's setting up a crisis here and not that we don't already have a crisis down at the border, but i think this is very dangerous for a constitutional republic as we have and it's flagrant. what happened yesterday was

flagrant. >> it does appear that we're getting to the tipping point. >> unbelievable. it's unbelievable. the guy gets faced in four supreme court decisions and he walks out there and acts like he won all them unanimously. unbelievable. >> laura ingraham, you don't need coffee this morning. we got you riled up for your radio show. >> see what you do. no, it's peter, when peter's there, it's high octane. >> the questions you pose is the questions that will dictate our future in this country. thank you. >> thank you. >> thanks. ten minutes after the top of the hour. the first lady of headlines, heather nauert joins us with some weather. >> thanks. if you talk to anybody in the midwest right now, they will tell you about all the awful weather and all the rain that they have had and we start with that. extreme weather alert in the midwest this morning. a deadly storm system on the move after it slammed into parts of the one person was killed in iowa when a building collapsed and it trapped a man inside that building. plus, there is this.

unconscionable and then to celebrate it as hamas did makes it even more painful. >> yeah. absolutely. do we know for sure that somebody from hamas was responsible? >> the israelis say they have information and intelligence that clearly links it to hamas. the fact that hamas never denied it, in fact, as i said, they celebrated it. interestingly, the palestinian authority, who was joined with hamas to govern the p.a., the prime minister, president rather of palestinian authority condemned it and criticized it, yet on their official web site they put up a cartoon that depicted three israeli rats being caught and made fun of it, celebrated it. it's hard to say that there is really an extraordinary amount of grief anywhere in the p.a. and the fact that american tax dollars helped pay for the palestinian authority that has joined with an organization that even the u.s. state department

says is a terrorist organization ought to make americans say not one more dime to the palestinian authority as long as they're linked up with hamas. >> that exact number was $426.7 million in 2013. is israel confident that americans will be behind them at this time? >> i think every american, parents certainly, should recognize the grief that is felt all throughout the nation of israel. i had a chance to visit with the frankles, they were wonderful. resilient, hopeful and optimistic. yet i think we all knew every day that passed made it more unlikely their boys would be found safe and the fact that there were no demands being made for their release, it was all very horrible. but what added to the injury was when the three mothers went to the u.n. human rights council in geneva last week and were mitt

with derision and ridicule. it's the kind of treatment that people need to realize there is a hatred toward israel from many nations that could only be described as irrational. >> as a final question, governor, what can the regular average american do to transform the channel, the frustration and the rage and the grief and the pain that comes out of the murders of these children to change our policy with regard to the palestinians and making real change in that area? what can we do? >> peter, i think the main thing they can do is get educated about the realities of the middle east and specifically israel because i find so many americans are incredibly uninformed. they really think that israel is the the aggressor here. israel is fighting not for a little more land or lower tax. israel is fighting for its very existence. it's surrounded by people and infiltrated by people who say -- vow they will kill every last jew on earth. when you're surrounded by that kind of animosity and hatred and

people literally are out to get you, it's not paranoia. it's reality. they face that in a tiny little sliver of land the size of new jersey. so i think americans need to stand with them. we don't need idiotic efforts like that of the presbyterian church last week urging boycotts in israel. that's the worst thing that americans can do is act foolishly. >> we stand with you and we stand with israel on this day, governor. >> the governor just back from israel last week. thank you very much for joining us from the florida panhandle. thank you. >> great to be with you. 20 minutes after the top of the hour. facebook using us as lab rats for their own experiments on emotions. but did they cross the line and even perhaps break the law? more on the controversy. if you use facebook, you'll want to see that next. listen up, ladies. people magazine just announcing its hottest bachelor. here is a hint, he was just right here on the curvy couch. who could it be? ♪

themes were moving very quickly at 50 miles per hour. even has the shape of aqua color to them. you can see on your screen. and there were reported tornadoes yesterday. there was a lot of rain with these storms. so the tornadoes were difficult to spot. that makes them even more dangerous because people wouldn't be able to see these tornadoes on the ground. there would be a lot of rain around them wrapping around that tornado. these storms continued to move eastward and hit chicago late last night, canceling so many flights. people slept at the airport. there were also reports of damage to hail. you could see that video is from chicago. a lot of lightning with the storms as they rolled through the city last night. reports of damaging hail, produced all kinds of hail blowing out wind shields and even causing some holes in homes. that's how powerful these storm systems were. there were also tornadoes in missouri. you could see that funnel cloud right there. there were about seven reported tornadoes, close it 500 reports of severe weather, including damaging winds and large hail. today we do have the risk for more severe storms from parts of

missouri all the way up into upstate new york. this is a widespread area. i think the biggest concern today will be damaging winds and some large hail from the storms and isolated tornado cannot be ruled out. by the way, tropical depression number 1, the first one of the season is forecast to become the first tropical storm of the season later today. and it could be a hurricane over the next few days. valley to watch this very closely. by late thursday night, we could potentially see landfall in cape hatteras, the outer banks across north carolina. still several days out. very unorganized out there. but it is forecast to intensify. so we'll keep an eye on that storm system. off the east coast of florida where tropical storm watches are in effect. >> all right maria molina joining us from the windy city where she indicated there is a possibility of a fourth of july hurricane. great. >> thanks. meanwhile, earlier we showed you this, it's a truck driver, gets pulled over in illinois but tells the state trooper the trooper is the one who has

then he weighed in with his law enforcement perspective. >> i guess i felt sorry for the trooper getting caught like that. i guess it's justice. cops make mistakes, too. he really got him good. >> yep. we also asked you for your reaction and kathy e-mailed, says having been a trucker for 20 years, i think this driver is awesome. illinois is one of the worst highway patrol forces in the country. good for you, driver. >> wow. and don wrote, give the cop credit. he did the right thing. so many would do otherwise. >> and gloria says, i love this exchange. cop gets that he did wrong. beautiful. justice on the road. >> keep those coming. coming up, it was a normal day spent using her laptop and then it exploded. could it happen to you, too?

religious beliefs. so what's next for the president to do? >> today i'm beginning a new effort to fix as much of our immigration system as i can on my own without congress. >> but it hasn't been proven that his failure to enforce the law on the books doesn't help and may actually make things worse. let's talk to the kansas secretary of state and the author of the arizona immigration bill who joins us from kansas city. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> so the president and john boehner had a conversation last week. john boehner said, because you're not enforcing the laws of the land, the people of the united states do not trust you and we're not going to go forward with any sort of immigration reform this year. so the president says, i'm going to go ahead and fix things. is he going to fix things because, to many, it looks like he's the one who screwed things up? >> that's exactly right. the president -- when he says he's going to fix it, he's suggesting something is broken.

the evenly thing that's seriously broken in our system is his executive branch is willing to enforce the law. if you look at the immigration laws and regulations, it's a book about three inches thick. it's outrageous how many laws he's not enforcing and this influx is a direct result of one of obama's so-called fixes. remember in the summer of 2012 he made this executive announcement that since congress hadn't passed the dream act, legislatively like they're supposed to if they want to do so under our constitution, he would just do it through an executive order. and he ordered ice agents to violate federal law and stop deporting people who claim that they came to the country under the age of 16 and claim that they're still under the age of 31 and the message got back to the central american countries, a, the united states is not going to deport you if you come in under the age 616. and this is what we have. it is a direct result of one of obama's so-called fixes that we're seeing right now. >> so it will be curious to see how far he can go because he has told hispanic groups in the past, i can't really do that

much with my executive power. one of the things the government is doing right now, and i know that you got a problem with this -- is for the first time perhaps in our history, the department of justice, through eric holder, is saying to each and every one of the illegals, you know what? we're going to give you a lawyer. congratulations. >> yeah. this is a huge change of pol ate department serving under attorney general john ashcroft. the rule was very firm that sure, you have a right to a lawyer if you're an illegal alien and being deported, but you do not get one at u.s. taxpayer expense. that rule has never been broken until now. obama sees this opportunity to give free lawyers, free at our expense -- to the illegal aliens. it's just outrageous. these individuals are clearly unlawfully present. why? the president seems to think they need lawyers when we see that they're illegally entering the country is ridiculous. >> so yesterday the president in the rose garden said that he's going to take a lot of resources and devote them to the actual

border. some people if you're not paying attention say that's for border enforcement? no. that's just to process the people at the border to send them where? >> yeah. exactly. instead of sending them to their home country, which he should be doing, and he could be using his executive authority to actual will he do something there -- he could be calling on the national guard and immediately air lifting these people back home. he's just processing them to send them somewhere in the united states. where is the left's concern with reuniting families? whenever they have an amnesty bill in congress, they say, we need amnesty to allow families to stay together. what about these kids' parents? we should be trying to reunite them with their parents back home. you have to look at everything the president is saying he's going to do because ultimately the objective always seems to be maximize the number of illegal aliens who can stay in the united states. >> so will there be more presidential overreach? stand by for that. secretary of state of my home state of kansas, thank you very much. >> great to be with you. dozen minutes before the top of the hour. still ahead, our lead story, the

the supreme court delivered a victory for religious freedom, ruling companies don't have to give up their religious beliefs just because they make a profit. >> some on the left are calling the decision a war on women? our next guest says the supreme court got it right, but the victory may be short-lived. here to explain is pastor and fox news contributor dr. robert jeffers. thank you for being with us this morning. why indeed do you believe that the celebration will not last very long? >> we need to be realistic about this. we need to temper the celebration with the realization that this was a narrow decision issued by a narrowly divided court. and i think that underscores the importance of electing presidents and senators who will in turn appoint justices who will uphold the constitution and protect our religious liberty. in fact, i want to go ahead and make this prediction right now on "fox & friends."

in 2016, the single greatest political issue for evangelical christians and conservative catholics will be this issue of religious liberty. it's crucial. >> how will it be played out in 2016, dr. jeffers? how exactly will people be feeling it and talking about it based on this decision? >> look, i'm neither a democrat nor a republican. i am a christian who wants to vote for christian values. but i'm telling you, if we elect a president again like barak obama, who has launched the single greatest attack on religious liberty in history, we're going to have the next justice of the supreme court be somebody who doesn't understand the constitution and votes like the other four did in this decision. look, elections have consequences and that's why christians need to vote their convictions. >> you make a point in the piece that you wrote which is fantastic. you said this is a victory not just for christians, this is a victory for religious people of

all faith. why? >> that's exactly right. because this weekend we are celebrating the freedom we have that was provided by our forefathers who gave their life's blood to secure that freedom. i think as christians we're going to have to condition to fight for that freedom. a lot of people say, when a pastor, why do you get involved in politics and trying to elect people with biblical values? i remind people that the apostle paul was the greatest evan list in the history of the world, but he also spent two years entangled in the roman legal system fighting for his rights as a roman citizen to speak the truth. and i think we have to do the same as believers. >> thanks for being here. happy fourth of july and blessings on you and your family. >> to you, too. >> thanks. we have more "fox & friends" just moments away why let erectie dysfunction get in your way? 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;
