afourth of july >> arthur is on the way. the first hurricane of the atlantic season is targeting the carolinas gaining strength and triggering hurricane warnings in part of north carolina. i am eric sean. >> and i am patty ann. we have evacuations underway on the outer bank and the timing alone is costly. the poplar tourist destination is clearing out ahead of the fourth of july weekend. we have team coverage.

john seary is live but first we go to janis dean live in the weather center. >> 80 miles per hour sustained wind and that is up from what we had at 5 a.m. this is a strengthening storm and we are starting to see an eye right there. can you see it? as it moves more toward the north and eastward we will see a strengthening storm for the next 12-18 hours. south carolina, north carolina, virginia -- you need to keep an eye on this because it could be moving more to the west and that could mean more people affected and bigger impacts. there is the satellite radar imagery. you can see the pin hole eye and that is an indication this is a

strengthening storm. next advisory is at 11 and we will get a track and coordinates. hurricane hunters are flying out. that is the next 12-24 hours a strengthening storm brushing the outer banks and people are being forced to leave and we think the trough along the northeast coastline is going to pick it up and make the storm accelerate and become extra tropical. interest is still along the northeast coastline and monitoring that because if it shifted more westward we will deal with more impacts along the coastline and we have warm temperatures in the path. this is the gulf stream and we could see rapid intensifying over the next 12 hours paying close attention to this area. we have a trough moving off the east coast and that is going to bring more potential for severe

weather but it is going to help steer this tropical system/hurricane eastward and northward but i cannot stress it enough the next advisory is so important because it is going to give us where we could see this tracking more westward. there is the european model and this is 6 p.m. friday and it is more to the west here. so all interest along the mid t atlantic and up toward the northeast and new england. fourth of july is a problem and into the weekend. so patty ann the next advisory is crucial and i think we will see being an intensifying hurricane over the next 12-18 hours. >> and we know you will be right on top of that. and for more on how hurricane arthur is impacting

the carolinas on this fourth of july weekend we are live. what is it like? it seems calm, but is it the calm before the storm? >> reporter: it is indeed, eric. it is sunny today but the winds are picking up and generating waves and drawing out a crowd to the coast. they are warning people of the possibility of dangerous rip currants. >> they cause the vast majority of the rescues and the increase push of water increases the threat level. we ask people to respect the waters and ask lifeguards about the conditions so you can make a good judgment and keep yourself >> reporter: back in your our life position you will see most people are staying on the sore. you have experienced swimmers venturing in the water and that is important because local officials say you need to know your ability if you are going

into the water and if you are not experienced not isn't a good time to be venturing in the ocean. >> what is your sense of how many people left the outer banks because of arthur? >> reporter: it is mixed. there is a remote area that is being evacuated but the rest of the outer banks, particularly the northern communities north of cape haterous, they are not under amanda evacuation but many people are leaving. at the same time, a lot of people plan to stay put, at least for now. listen >> this will be the first one we have been in because in pennsylvania we didn't get any so i will see how it goes. >> how concerned are you? >> not too concerned. but as it is closer to that day i will be more concerned at that

point. >> reporter: because you see fourth of july is typically one of the busiest weekends for these outer banks communities and many tourist made reservations well in advance and now they are on the island communities they have no intention to given plans if they don't have to. a lot of people well hunker down and hope to salvage their vacati vacation. the beach goers are on notice throughout north carolina and folks keeping an eye on the churning water and luming skies. but for now they seem to be taking things in stride. >> well the girls asked me as we were driving down whether there was a chance of hurricane and i said it is too early in the season and low and behold. >> we are survivors of hurricane hazel back in the '50s. it looks like it will stay

offshore. >> some surfers have a different impact and say they are looking forward to the serious waves. they better be careful surfing in a storm can be hazardous. here is an image of arthur from space. we will continue to track hurricane arthur and bring you the latest on the storm's path. >> and severe weather hit new york city last night. the facade of a wall collapsed beneath the brooklyn bridge. five people were hurt but no serious injuries. the wall is under a ramp that takes traffic off the bridge on the brooklyn side. it is believed strong wind and rain weakened the wall. >> i thank god was able to pull them to safety to get them away

from the wall because she said that water was coming out through the wall. i was gone two minutes and that wall was down when i was back. >> people are lucky there. firefighters say the collapse doesn't appear to be part of a structural issue. a massive wild fire is ruining fourth of july plans for folks in northern california wine country. hundreds of homes being evacuated in the pope valley area. it has spread the 3800 acres and one home and four buildings are damaged. >> it is very unnerving when our house is on the other side of the hill. it is frightening. >> more than a thousand firefighters are trying to contain the fire. luckily no reports of injuries. the case of jihad jane who was sentenced to ten years in prison for helping terrorist has

alleg allegedly done it again. the fbi agents in denver have arrested shannon marie conley for helping an insurgeant she met online. the fbi was tipped off by this woman's pastor? >> reporter: that is right. she is just 19 and lives in a denver suburb with her parents. she attended a service at a church and was wearing traditional islamic behavior. she behaved in weird ways and was hostile and they asked her to leave and he contacted authorities. >> it became obvious she stood out from the apparel she was wearing. she was carrying a backpack and

had a notebook pad out taking notes at different places. and that alerts us right away. >> federal agents met with connelly from november of last year to this april. she said she met an isis fighter online and they were getting engaged. she wanted to wage jihad and would like to go overseas and fight. and she stated if she is not allowed to state she will use her medical training to aid jihadist. she was arrested at denver international airport in april on her way to turkey. >> did the family know what was going on? >> reporter: according to the fbi, her parents were aware of the conversion but didn't know

how strong it was. but her neighbors knew it changed >> i would see her walking with her head down. she would wear shorts when they moved in and then she started wearing those six months after they moved here. >> reporter: connelly is facing charges of providing material support and resources to a foreign terrorist organization. eric? >> a very disturbing case. thank you. patty ann? a fox news alert. brand new monthly job numbers to tell you about on a thursday due to tomorrow's hollywood holiday. the u.s. economy added 288,000 jobs and that is the fifth straight month of gains over 200,000 and the unemployment rate falling to 6.1 percent. the real unemployment rate is at 12.1% with many out of the

comes as darryl issa is calling out the commissioner of the irs. he says the testimony contradicts recent statements from the attorney representing lois lerner. issa sent a letter asking the commissioner to testify again and it reads in part i ask that you assist the committee in reconciling apparently discrepancies between your claims of lois lerner maintaining records and the response by her attorney who said she doesn't. steve hays is here. next week two irs employees will be in court? >> yeah, july 10th and 11. one is in respect to why the missing e-mails were not

previously disclose and the second is in regard true the vote that wants to bring in an outside forensic expert to look at the system and determine why the e-mails went missing and whether the story the irs told publ publically is true. the irs is seeking to block outside access to their technology and that is going to be a problem. >> talk about a fight and problem. why would the irs ever not want to get to the bottom of this by saying they don't want experts coming in to find lois lerner's vanished e-mails? >> you asked the question we will hear a lot about. if there is nothing wrong and the e-mails went missing the way they did publically why would they object? i suspect the argument is they don't want to set a precedent of

having outside forensic experts coming in and examining taxpayer information every time there is a problem. >> they can have the people swear they will not tell anybody anything and agreements and such? >> at the very least from the public relation perspective it is a hard argument to make if they say we don't want to bring in someone to tell us what happened. i think the republicans and the house of representatives would feel better if someone else came in and made a determination what the irs said is what happened. a lot of people are raising claims made by william taylor, her attorney, where she saw the blue screen of death and the hard drive was dead.

i talked to it experts and they said that is not how it works, really and raises a number of other questions about whether those representations were the truth. >> let's take a look at the exchange that caused the demand to get him back. >> if you knew there was e-mails you might not could have found there probably could have been e-mails that should have been kept under the records act? correct? >> yes, they would have been printed out. the responsibility is you print it out if you have a hard copy. >> based on that, did lois lerner break the law? >> her attorney said she didn't print them out because she didn't know she had to to be in compliance. so you have the irs official and

lois lerner's attorney and they want them to reconcile the complaints. either she did or didn't comply and it sounds like she didn't and john didn't know what he was talking about and that was one of several times it appeared he didn't have access to the facts or making it up as we went along. >> the head of the irs making it up? what is going to happen? they said the e-mails disappe disappeared and they did the best they could. what do you think will happen? >> there are so many new questions today there just a month ago. and i think what you have done is excited public interest and house republicans are looking at this. and this will unfold with the public debate about it, the congressional investigation into this and number three what is

unfolding in the court, which hasn't gotten much attention but could be where this is decided and that could compel the irs do things they have not wanted to do. >> we will see what happens when he raises his hand and promises to tell the truth. there is a security alert for certain overseas flights to the united states. >> and with more use troops going to iraq, the country's prime minister is facing a new challenge to power s. the crisis set to get worse? >> when iraq started to employed our secretary of state didn't immediately go over to the region. he has his own plane. it isn't like he could not get a ticket over there. ticket over there. creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology.

the united states is getting ready to destroy one of the last batches of syria's chemical weapons. the cape ray will anchor there were several weeks neutralizing the weapons and the resulting waste will be destroyed on land in dumps. it is part of the national agreement to try to rid syria of their chemical weapons. the murderer of three teens and the suspected revenge killing is raising tension. israel is sending more troops to the border aft. john hudy is live near the gaza

border. was anybody hurt in the latest attack? >> reporter: luckily, no, but they could have been hurt badly. and there were a total of 16 fired into southern israel. let me step out of the way and we can show you the damage from one of those attacks. this is the southern israeli town and this is a housing complex. you can see where the rocket went right through the building and through the wall. crews are up there clearing out the section. you can see the damage it caused. a mother and daughter were inside the apartment at the time. the rocket went into the living room and they ran into a back bedroom because they heard a code red which is a warning that goes out when there is rocket attacks. they ran into a back bedroom and were unharmed because they heard that. these buildings, the walls are so thick and reinforced, so they

are built for this thing and that is why the shell didn't go further and why they are alive today. >> tell us specifically the reasons why the violence is escalating now? >> reporter: well, there was an attack, israeli airforce attacked a mosque militant that had two militants in it a week ago. so there is retaliation for that and the israeli airforce is striking back with airstrikes. so you have that. and number two, the death of the three israeli teens whose bodies were found and then you have the recent death of the palestinian teenager that many believe or are concerned it was possible

retaliation for the death of the three israeli teens. more rocket attacks and things are escalating. it is as bad, or increasing considerable. in 2012, there was a lot of fighting. it isn't as bad as that but things are escalating in terms of violence and anger. >> a lot going on. patty ann, you know it is too late to changing the results of the 2012 election, but have you heard about the poll that shows romney may wish it was taken before the loss? our voters going through buyers remorse? >> and folks in north carolina headed for safer ground as hurricane arthur heads their way. >> don't put your stupidity hat

and with this fourth of july holiday homeland officials are order increased in security at overseas airports that have direct flights to the united states. terrorist, particularly from yemen and syria, will try to sneak bombs in here. what do we know about security threats out there? >> there are threats out there being responded to and airports are taking cues from washington. there is extra security on the ground at london's heathrow airport and that is one of the major gateways into the united states. british authorities are responding to the request to

tighten security in a couple ways because dozens of americans are fighting with al qaeda especially in syria who could be learning bomb skills and could travel back to europe and united states freely. and secondly, new word the al qaeda group in yemen, which has been behind a few plots including the failed underwear bomber in 2009, has come up with new ways to avoid security detection and are supposedly on the ground in syria giving hands-on training. >> do we know if this is a specific threat or a long-time precaution? >> officials are warning this is just more precautionary americass and -- measures -- and

m not related to one spot and because of the holiday weekend. they have been tracking these developments over the past several weeks. they say it isn't related to the new push by islamist into iraq despite a bunch of threats we have been tracking from the last week or so coming from the terror group isis. they are thinking the militants are too busy fighting the fight in iraq and syria to open up a new front. by the way, eric, unrelated to the warnings coming from washington late yesterday, the example of global terror jitters. we are hearing from uganda who is advising against threats in their airport. they are advising u.s. officials

to act accordingly. iraq is plunging keeping into chaos. violence is spreading from the north and now a new challenge from the south. shiites are fighting forces after they tried to seize an office that has been critical of the government. >> isil isn't fighting to take over iraq. they are fight to destroy iraq. and that is why it is important for iraq's diverse population to come together. and why it is particularly important for the political leadership to come together and place the interest of the country ahead of their own political ambitions. >> general jack keane is here, a retired four star general and our fox news analyst. good morning. >> good morning. >> we have three main groups and

tell us the status of each. let's start with the shiite. >> the fact there is fighting against the shiite fighting militia isn't new to iraq. in 2008, the army had to fight the radicals all through 2008. they were trained in iran and in other areas in iraq. this is a radical cleric they are fighting which is a shrine site. he is anti-government and ant anti-eye tolla. it ads to the complications of iraq. i don't think it is too significant. >> then you have the sunnis.

>> they are disinfranchised from the government and military and police. and the fact of the matter is that led to the speed and size of this crisis. isis is driving it but the sunni tribes have assisted them. we have to reach out to the sunni tribes and many are reconcilable as they were back in 2007 and i know there is negotiati negotiations taking place. and if we can put them become in the positions they held once before where they were a viable part of the political and military process there is a chance for the future stability of iraq. if we cannot do that, there probably isn't much hope for iraq, frankly. >> and then you have the kurds.

what do you make of the maliki's proposal of amnesty? >> it is the first step. we had almost a 100,000 sunni's on u.s. payroll and helping us fight and documented through biometric and were promised inclusion. when we pulled away maliki disinfranchi disinfranchised them. so for that to be overturned maliki can't stay. they want to see a new government and their leaders included in that government before they would move to political reconcilation. >> and what is iran's influence at this point? >> it is really significant. the iran and russians are power

politics experts. you saw what they did in syria in propping up the regime. watch what russia did in crimea. they understand the power politics. it is in their national interest to support them but it isn't in the united states. they are providing significant support and certainly political backing for maliki who most people in iraq want to go. and the russians and iranians have a seat at the table and maliki is able to claim i have international backing. i brought in iran and russia to help with this crisis. there is no body us helping us. that is the problem we have with not having military strength backing up our diplomats who are trying get a seat at the table

for political reconcilation. >> thank you, general jack keane. vendors are responsible to get us hot dogs and beer. but look at this tiger game against the a's. foul ball back in the stands but have no fear the beer vendor is here. boom! right into his bucket. and then look. he did the right thing. giving the ball to a young man. what a catch! sign him up. well, they say hind sight is 20/20 and many americans wish they could change their vote in the 2012 election. why the change of our? our political panel weighs in. >> and consumer reports released the list of the best burgers. which fast food joints have the

mcdonald's finishing dead last on the list. have you heard about the polling results that suggest some americans feel they have buyers remorse after the 2012 president election? 45% said the country would be better off if republican nominee mitt romney won. let bring in the panel. >> hi, eric. >> there is no guarantee and you cannot go back to the election window and switch your result. this is a stunning result. >> i think a lot do have voters remorse. it is about a year and a half too late. if they had made a different choice and chosen romney we

would have a different presidency and country? >> what changed? >> people are looking at events domestically and in terms of foreign policy. you look at the job approval numbers and every poll showing him at 40% and well over 50% disapproval and across the handing of jobs and obamacare and terrorism even where he had strength those numbers are negative. people see the middle east is a flame, iraq is imploding, obamacare is catastrophic and a lot of people are saying on second thought we should have chosen the other guy. >> doug, reality or the perception? >> look, there is certainly a

lot of reality behind what the president is explaining and the rating at 40%. but romney's number is 45% which is two points below what he got in the election. there is a lot of buyers remorse but there is no great excitement for mitt romney who is apparently thinking about a third run for the presidency. the american people are angry at both people. ample reason to be angry as president obama to be sure but the republican economy has record rating and we are facing a political crisis. >> let's look at the president's polling result. 55% on the economy and 55% foreign affairs -- with that

type of record he would be sent down to the minors? >> go ahead, doug. >> i understand he would be sent down to the minors but if he is in class aa ball rest assurep te republicans are lower than that. americans don't have confidence in either side and they are not working together. so bottom line is we have division and discord that is making the system more d dysfuncti dysfunctional. >> what do we do? >> we need to promote reconcilation and results before ideas and partsinship and a sense to the president you cannot act unilateral and the

tell the republicans they have to cooperate. >> doug is right on the premise but getting that to happen with a president like this is a tall order. and doug is right about the lack of bipartisan. but the problem for the president and democrats is they control the white house and united states senate where a lot of bills the the republicans and house put up have been blocked, job bills and so on. so he is getting votes of no confidence. one poll showed the vast majority of americans don't think he can govern correctly. >> we need to stop there. thank you both. residents demanding answers in the battle of an immigration stance.

eric: we start with a fox news alert. take a look at that. hurricane arthur, heading our way, churning knew in the atlantic and threatening to wash out the 4th of july festivities up and down the east coast for millions of americans. welcome to a brand new hour of "america's newsroom." i'm eric shawn. patti ann: i'm patti ann browne. bill and martha are out today. state firms in north carolina are just about set to hold a news conference this hour as that monster storm bears down on that state's coast. a mandatory evacuation order is already in place for parts of north carolina's outer banks.

meteorologist janice dean is live right now in the fox extreme weather center with the latest for us. hi, janice. >> hi, patti ann, eric. i want you to look at the satellite presentation of the storm. look at the last few frames. can you see that eye? that is sign of a strengthing storm. new advisory coming out at 11:00. it will give us all the coordinates that they need, wind speeds, where this storm is, where it is predicted to go within the next 12 to 18 hours. we have a lot of warm water to move through. so a strengthening, perhaps rapid intensification could happen within the next several hours. we could really see the eye, really incredible from what we were dealing with yesterday. it has strengthened quite a bit over last six to 12 hours. there is the satellite radar imagery. see the last few frames with the concentric eye right there. those thunderstorms wrapping around. that is another sign this is strengthening quickly. i want to point out, this is one

of our forecast models. it is not a one that is set in stone. just to give you an example, we have to watch this carefully. a lot of those models are trending towards the west. my concern is more threats for south carolina. obviously north carolina. but also up towards the mid-atlantic. there is thursday, thursday evening. it has right onshore here, along the coast of north carolina, south and west of hatteras. making a direct landfall over the outer banks. and then on friday, defend, hugging the coast here. there is long island. there is cape cod. there is a very strong storm offshore. and again, this is just one of the forecast models we look at. it is not the actual advisory, that the national hurricane center is sending out. i want to show you wind gusts as we go through time. these are hurricane-force winds along the coast. then as we head into thursday, today, this afternoon, this evening all of those wind in excess of 75, 80 miles an hour

along the coast from wilmington towards moorhead city. this will be a big event, a long-lasting one and potential for a stronger hurricane perhaps. so this is the advisory that we got as of 5:00 a.m., a new one coming out in less than an hour. we're really going to have to watch that track, okay? if it moves a little more westward, more impacts for more people. we really hope that it is going to get kicked out to sea. that is the conventional wisdom right now. again a lot of these models trending westward. i don't want you to let your guard down if you live across the mid-atlantic and northeast. there is the steering. we think front will approach and that will lift the thing towards the northeast. if the front slows down, then we'll be dealing with some issues. maybe that track goes a little more to the west. that is my concern. obviously very concerned for the carolinas but also don't want to let your guard down across the northeast and mid-atlantic heading into the weekend. patti ann. patti ann: janice dean in the

weather center, thank you. eric: patti ann, the severe weather is not only hitting the east coast but winds damage the several homes in the oklahoma panhandle including this one in the town of keyes. one family returning after taking shelter to find this heartbreaking sight, their house destroyed. they're just happy everyone is okay. >> it is hard to describe how things can happen like that. well the house is off the blocks, smooth. it was solid there. it moved. i'm lucky we're all okay. i thankful we'll rebuild and move on. patti ann: meanwhile severe storms rolling through the northeast, causing big problems in vermont. several firefighters were hospitalized after lightning struck nearby as they were battling a house fire. >> seven firefighters were transported to be checked out. they were all fine walking but they felt a big shock. felt as much as heard the shock.

i didn't feel any tingling but an impact. patti ann: well the vermont state police later sent out a tweet urging everyone to keep the firefighters in their thoughts. eric: another fox news alert for you now. the dow jones industrial average has hit a record, crossing 17,000 for the very first time. this comes as monthly unemployment numbers out from the labor department show the jobless rate falling .2 of a percent to 6.1% in june. let's look at real unemployment number. that includes part-time workers and folks who completely stopped looking for a job. that is a whopping 12.1%. what does all this mean? charlie gasparino is fox news business senior correspondent who knows almost everything there is to know on wall street. >> thank you for that buildup. it is all downhill from here. eric: i don't understand this. you got a record on wall street. on the other hand you have got no jobs for millions.

>> well, jobs are coming back, underemployment rate, labor participation rate is still fairly high, fairly low. that means that the overall, the real employment rate hasn't changed much but you do have jobs added. i will say this, this is why the market likes this. low inflation. that is what it means. we still have employment problem in the country. janet yellen will still print money at a less pace. interest rates still remain pretty low. put all that together, low inflation. they will taper, but not that much. and interest rates low. the market loves that. that is why the market is up. there are two stories here. there is economic story for american people which is not very good, no matter which way the president spins this, it is not very good. 12.1%, or real unemployment very high. if you're on wall street and that is story of obama economy, haves and have-nots, wall street has done very well since president obama been elected. main street has not done very

well in terms of jobs. eric: talk about people not in the pinstripe suits. 62.3% labor participation. >> that is number i was talking about. eric: millions of people have given up. i'm not getting a job, either husband or wife hopefully could work. a lot of people say jobs are not there. >> the type of jobs often being sort of produced in this economy are not very good. these are jobs with very low wages. a lot of temporary employment. this is not a great job economic recovery. but you know, here's the, again, the used to be wall street loved robust, robust economy like what happened during the 1980s. it is different now. what wall street is very much focused on is the fact that, you don't want the fed to stop printing money. printing money is good for stocks. it will take all day to explain why. keep that in mind. as long as the fed is going to keep printing money, yes, at smaller pace which this jobs

report suggests to everybody, including guys on wall street the market is going up. the other technical factor, not a lot of people working on wall street. get a little good news. traders are out there trading up. you get a blip, and get dow 17,000. that's where we are. if you're in the market, good news. eric: what happens when the fed unplugs that printer? >> depends on how. it is not just the printer and base fed fund rate. janet yellen is known as a dove. she likes printing money. the unplugging of printer where everything stops is not going to happen for a while. listen, if you have your money in the market, keep watching this. the easiest way to make money in the last, six years is just been buy s&p 500 fund. went from six to 17. eric: charlie, we hope some of the jobs come back as well as wall street. >> by the way, can i give a shoutout to a friend of mine? he is a patriot.

george, works at security at harlow. when you talk about market, but on the 4th of july these are guys we have to cherish. they do good work. eric: absolutely. thank you. patti ann: new developments in the u.s. immigration crisis. officials in dallas are now preparing to shelter as many as 2000 undocumented children. many of them came to the u.s. to escape violence or reunite with their families. >> these kids need a lot of help and nuture and assurance and making sure that their adjustment to life in the united states is successful. patti ann: casey stiegel is reporting live right now from dallas. casey, when exactly will the city take in these minors? >> patti ann, good morning, it is supposed to happen by the end of the month but at this point county officials are trying to sort out all of the details. perhaps the biggest one of course, where they will be housing these 2,000 unaccompanied minors that will be brought into the area?

three vacant schools are on the list of possibilities but already meetings being held with local charitable organizations and disaster aid groups how best to deal with the influx. not only handling housing, food, immunizations and schooling. local leaders say dallas stepping in to help is the right thing to do in the midst of this humanitarian crisis at the border in this state. >> we can't help all these children but we can help some of these children and then perhaps, in helping some of these children, others can be inspired to help the children. >> reporter: when all is said and done, 12 different locations around dallas county will be selected. the feds then must contract out all of the social services and the site security, patti ann. patti ann: casey, is there any opposition to the move to help out these immigrants? >> reporter: it is a fairly new plan. a lot of residents don't know much about it. there have been some public

meetings been held. a handful of people attended those. expressed concerns about dallas picking up the tab but county leaders have been adamant how the federal government will be funding all of this, not local taxpayers. but really, in a round-about way, if you think about it, it is still tax dollars at work, just cash that is going to be funneled down from the federal level. as for the protesters like we saw out in california this week, when the buses arrived out there we're going to have to wait and see if we have anything like that, once they start arriving here in big d, patti ann. patti ann: casey stiegel live in dallas. thanks. eric: as casey just reported things may be a bit calmer in dallas right now. as he said out in california, a lot of those angry people in one town say they are fed up with the flood of undocumented immigrants. >> usa! usa! >> go home! eric: looking at the scene this week in marietta, california.

>> middle class families can't wait for the republicans in congress to do stuff. so sue me. [laughter]. as long as they're doing nothing i'm not going to apologize for trying to do something! patti ann: that was president obama shrugging off speaker john boehner's threat of a lawsuit against him for executive over reach. the question remains, will speaker boehner's unprecedented lawsuit become more than a proposal and will courts agree to hear it? weighing in on the roadblocks that my ahead for the lawsuit, john mccormick, senior writer for "the weekly standard.." thanks for joining us. >> good to be here. patti ann: we heard president obama's response to word boehner is planning to sue the administration. the president is saying if congress will not do anything i will do it myself. is that how it works? >> that is not how it is supposed to work. the president acted lawlessly. not that he over reached but refused to enforce the law.

take for example, the issue of obamacare. he said he will ignore the fact that law states with employers more than 50 employees are supposed to provide their employees with health insurance or pay very large fine. he simply hasn't enforced that. the problem john boehner will have to get obama to enforce something like that. in order to have legal standing to sue. you have to prove that you can suffer harm to remedy it. in instances where obama relieved the burden, it will have hard to have legal standing to sue. i call this sort of a last-ditch resort effort to just, you know, why not. why not throw up a half-court shot and try to see if the court will accept this novel theory of standing. patti ann: in either case bring attention to the issue. "wall street journal" saying it is not clear however, whether mr. boehner's proposed lawsuit stance a realistic chance of success. the good news for the house gop courts never said a congressional chamber may not sue the president for ursurping legislative powers. the bad news, courts never

agreed to take up a case either. scholars say they are skeptical court will make such a move soon. so what do you think, in terms of issue whether or not this will have standing. >> from lawyers i've spoken to, even mike lee, a conservative republican senator from utah, he is constitutional scholar. he is clerk for supreme court justices, he is even said that it doesn't seem like the congress would have a standing to sue or anyone would have standing to sue in case of something like the enforcing the employer mandate. there are other instances where we've seen, for example, president obama appointedpeopler relations board and supreme court ruled against him because that was done during recess. the senate has authority. but the reason that got to go to the court was that a business was actually harmed by adverse ruling from that board. so that issue of injury being suffered by a person and remedy being able to be addressed. so, i think it depend exactly how they're going to sue the it will be interesting, but i think prospects are low but, it is

worth a shot i guess. patti ann: yeah. as you mentioned, we yet to see specifics on boehner's proposed lawsuit. i'm sure they're working on issues like that, trying to find a specific harm. but if it did actually become a case, as you mentioned, the supreme court already ruled on some cases what they said were overreach. obama's recess appointments saying those were unconstitutional. he lost the hobby lobby case which strikes a blow to obamacare. if it actually found is to have standing and goes forward as a lawsuit does it have a chance ultimately succeeding? >> we would really have to look at the specifics of what they're suing him over. patti ann: right. >> this is a novel legal theory. congress has other tools to check the president. they have the power of the purse. as we've seen, they haven't been too successful stopping president, particularly in the case of obamacare. we learned during the government shutdown last time when congress doesn't pass new spending bill, obama care funding goes forward

because it is mandatory spending. it is on autopilot. when they tried to cut off discretionary spending they got rolled completely. that is political argument, not a legal argument. that is fight they lost. the voters have means of redress. if they're so upset like they can vote in a whole lot more senate officials in the and in the house who will override the president. that is not going to happen and in 2016 they have opportunity to volt for a new president. patti ann: all interesting points. if the lawsuit would go forward, president would be out of office before it gets through the courts any way. john mccormick, writer for "the weekly standard." thanks for joining us. >> thanks for having me. eric: patti ann, iraq's prime minister issued a new warning. about the islamic radical terrorists who are waging a campaign of death and destruction across his country. as the white house awaits more intel before taking next steps.

are their leaders confident they can do the jobs they're being asked to do? then when we have that assessment in hand, i think, not i think, we'll make decisions whether there is other kinds of support that could provide. patti ann: what would those decisions be? national security correspondent jennifer griffin live at the pentagon. jennifer, what are the latest developments and what could this mean? is. >> reporter: amid iraqi military spokesman denied the troops had fled. >> translator: hostile mass media transmitted news about the withdrawal of iraqi forces from the border between iraq and saudi arabia of the we deny such news and we would like to say that the news is bogus, designed to affect the morale of our people and our troops. >> reporter: meanwhile the iraqi air force released this video of iraqi pilots dropping bombs on sunni militant strongholds in

before u.s. troops withdrew that december, ending u.s. military involvement in the war. the concern now is that sunni militants could be approaching the baghdad airport. eric? eric: that is pretty close. jennifer griffin, thank you. patti ann: firefighters are now battle aggressive flames in california. we'll tell you next what scientists are doing to prevent future wildfires from spreading so rapidly. eric: legislative action in washington. we heard the president before say, sue me. he is relying on some executive orders. the white house versus the gop, the political panel weighs in. >> all obama can do is whine about the fact that there is the other guys are in charge of congress and he defiantly says, if congress won't do its job, i.e., enact my agenda, i will. that is not what the constitution says.

eric: fox news alert for you now. just about 30 minutes away, 29 minutes, from an update from the national hurricane center. that will come at the top of the hour. this as the outer bands of hurricane arthur are reaching parts of north carolina. has maximum sustained wind they say of 80 miles an hour. the storm warnings stretch from surf city, north carolina where they canceled the fireworks, all the way up to the virginia border. there is a mandatory evacuation order now in effect for parts of north carolina's outer banks.

patti ann: president obama defending his use of executive orders says the republican-controlled house just won't work with him to get things done but one commentator says that excuse does not fly. if you look at earlier president's records such as ronald reagan, who had a democrat controlled house of representatives throughout both of his terps of presidency. >> in essence, an essential element of governing is to work with the other party. reagan never had control of the house. it was always in democratic hands. he passed enormously important legislation. tax reform, all kinds of things, lowering tax rates. he changed the country without controlling congress. and all obama can do is whine about the fact that there is the other guys are in charge of congress. patti ann: let's discuss with our political panel. tyler harbor, republican pollster, campaign communications expert and managing partner at hardin global. richard fowler, radio show host,

the richard fowler show. thanks for joining us. richard, respond to what krauthamer says there. >> listen, i got to tell you i love charles krauthamer like everybody else this is the difference between the reagan administration and obama administration. ronald reagan had secret weapon, tip o'neill. tip o'neill was former speaker of the house. in this regime john boehner and president has not communicated at all. that has everything to do with john boehner is held hostage by the republican caucus in united states house of representatives. it is quite down right sad. patti ann: tyler, boehner has argued several times that he does reach out to the president and he gets rebuffed. which is it? >> he does get rebuffed. look i think the idea that times were different and congress was different is a bunk idea. i think it's a bunk explanation because it doesn't apply. if obama wanted to have a good and strong legislative relationship, he could do so.

it just takes communication and it takes some work. and even reagan had to develop his relationship with tip o'neill. it didn't come naturally. it wasn't, they weren't two guys who saw eye-to-eye on things. i think this president has been legislatively impotent and he has done nothing to try to develop a relationship that has had any type of effect. patti ann: richard, we should point out the democrats controlled both houses of congress for president obama's first two years in office. that is the first time that happened in 32 years, that the same party controlled the presidency and both houses. but even back then, he was blaming republicans for blocking his agenda. is that really valid. >> listen, you're right. at one point in time the president had control of all three chambers, two chambers and the white house, at that time was most productive congress in american history. still republicans used filibuster manuever in the united states senate to block things. where i disagree with tyler here, the level of civility in

washington is completely and totally gone. nobody wants to work together. during congress in ronald reagan administration you could get a transportation bill passed. you could pass tax reform. during this congress you can't get anything done because republicans drawn a line in the sand they refuse to cross. that means not working for the american people. and that is part of the problem. patti ann: tyler? >> richard you need to look at history. fights used to occur on the floor of house of representatives. >> but that is true. they passed transportation bill and -- patti ann: let tyler in here. immigration reform. patti ann: let tyler in. >> you have a president who does not possess the tools to work with congress. i think that he is, ever since he lost rahm emanuel to become the mayor of chicago i think that he does a effective legislative relationship builder or bridge builder and, he himself was never, never very successful in the legislative process either in the statehouse in illinois or

in the united states senate. he never was a very good legislator. so you've got a president just can't do it. patti ann: richard, krauthamer also said on "special report," obama is good at campaigning, giving speeches and rhetoric but now in his sixth year. speeches mean nothing. he gave people hope but doesn't know how to govern. what about that? >> i think this president has shown he can effectively govern and even so without being able to work with congress to get things done for american people. tyler as revisionist history. if i remember correctly, last immigration bill was ronald reagan and tip o'neill. provided instant amnesty to thousands and thousands of latinos. your history is revisionist. this president is trying to get things done for the american people. american people want minimum wage and immigration reform and can't get through. >> this president is criminal --

is criminal who continuously breaks the constitution. it will be proven. >> that is not true. >> he believes the constitution doctor. >> where, how he is criminal. >> every time that he issues -- >> give me one example that is he a criminal. patti ann: let tyler finish. >> that is outside of the line of constitutional authorities of different branches of congress -- >> which ones. >> pick one. pick one. >> i'm asking to you pick one. >> i am. his own delays to the aca. his discounting of the abandonment of rules of immigration rules. and there are just, goes on and on. this guy just can't get it together. >> i am getting a wrap right here. tyler, richard, thank you both so much for joining us. >> happy 4th of july. patti ann: you too. eric: violent wildfires have been spreading in northern california wine country. that has been damaging homes and forcing the evacuation of hundreds of other homes. this as scientists in the region are studying ways to try to

prevent fires and doing that by using a high-tech wind tunnel. will carr is live from california. will, how would this new tunnel work? >> reporter: good morning, eric. we'll give you a demonstration of this critical technology. riverside has teamed up with forest service to build this wind tunnel. they have two different types of fuel. on bottom they have dead fuels. on the top they have live fuels. this simulates what the fire would run into out in the field. so my friend gloria will start the fire and we'll show you how quickly a fire can spread. now inside of this fire wind tunnel they actually control wind speed, they control humidity. they also control the temperature. so the fire starts in dead fuels. those would be leaves, dead grass. it quickly spreads up to the live fuels, which would be like tree branches. the fire starts to spread. i want you to take a bird's eye

screw. you can quickly see how high the flames spread. they go 10, 15, 20 feet up in the air. it shows how quickly things can get out of control for the firefighters out in the field. they will run these experiments over and over again. all in the hopes of being able to save more lives and homes in the future. >> if we get the, an understanding of the physics correctly in terms of how fire burns in these living fuels, it should be applicable throughout the country and around the world actually. >> reporter: after they run these experiments they take all the data, they put them into these computers. this is information they will use in the future, eric, to try to better predict fire behavior. eric: wow, will, you see how quickly and fast that can spread. when will they be able to use this technology in real time out there in the brush? >> well, with all fires that we're seeing out there, i believe there is fires in new mexico, california, arizona.

they would like to see the technology get out there as quickly as possible. unfortunately predict fire behavior is lengthy process. they say they're still several years out. but the firefighters right now out in the field, they do have models that can predict fire behavior. the models are not nearly as accurate as technology we showed you, eric. eric: hopefully they can learn something. very good demonstration. thank you so much. >> reporter: you bet. patti ann: still ahead, russia apparently not afraid to make some rather powerful enemies on capitol hill, fictional enemies anyway. what the kremlin did to diss frank underwood of "house of cards." eric: wow. border crisis. man, oh, man, did it come to a head in california. take a look at this! protests, confrontation, the anger and the outrage. coming up the mayor of that town will join us. some of his constituents are demanding that he fight the feds on immigration. >> you will receive our gratitude in the form of not

"house" of card fans?

eric: one question, does vladmir putin know what frank underwood can do? patti ann: he should be scared. eric: he would say, sure, we'll let him film there. back here at home, the town of murrieta, california, bamming a angry flash point for national immigration debate after a tense standoff between residents and buses loaded will legal immigrants. [shouting] protesters forced homeland security agency to reroute those buses. they were transferring the undocumented immigrants who were detained in texas. awe happened at a town hall meeting last night when folks questioned the decision to bring them to their town in the first place. >> do you have a handle what this is costing citizens of murray rhett at that and city of murrieta? do you have a handle? [applause] this is costing us out of our pocket, please use word illegal

aliens. they came across here illegally? [applause] eric: another example of ainge remember and outrage that consumed murray rhett at that, california. joining us on the phone is the mayor. welcome to the fox news channel this morning. my first question, how bad is it, how angry is it and what is your city facing? >> there is still a lot of frustration and i think you heard it from the clip you just played, illegal immigration is what people are upset about. and they're very frustrated because there is not a whole lot of answers, i mean from border patrol, or the homeland security department on solution. i took the opportunity last night to remind everyone, that you know, showing clips of angry people really isn't a true reflection of murray rhett at that. murrieta.

both sides are looking for efficient legal process that looks for health and safety of everybody including illegal immigrants. we pointed out some immigrants are being exploited. they are not held in facilities designed for long-term care and overnight shelter. that is important too. so both sides should really come together on this one issue. eric: you're dealing with it right on the front lines. you're not thousands and thousands of miles away in washington. what do you think from your perspective the federal government can and should do about the flood that is continuing? >> it is really a simple as forgetting about these party line issues in between the immigration issue. we need them to drop the r and the d after their name, come together and find a solution. just in our town hall meeting, there were a lot of

cost-effective solutions to this problem but at washington, d.c. we can't get the two sides together to come up for a solution. eric: what would you do? if you were in washington, you're the mayor of the town. what would you suggest? you have a platform right now to tell washington what to do. >> well, this has happened before, in the 1980s. we had an influx in san diego. what needs to happen to prevent all these concerns from traveling to the small local towns, you need to make a stand at the border. we can do that. we have plenty of resources. there was national guard mentioned last night. we have fema. we have mobile hospitals to take care of these people. we can put portable, modular buildings and fencing to house them and hold them at the point of entry. we can swear in attorneys to act as judges and speed up the process so they can either enter legally with efficient health screening or send them back. eric: some people, who are there, critics say they don't have compassion. they're bigots, they're

prejudiced. others say that, we've got to be a way to stop this bottom line what happens to you and your city in the next few days as, is your town permanently off the list to process these folks? >> yeah, you're right. we've heard some of those passionate people, seeing clips on the news and coming to a conclusion that murrieta is not compassionate. that is to the contrary. we have over 700 non-profit organizations within our area and they all serve a need and we're a very compassionate city. a shame that two minutes of video time on the news channel really stereotypes our city. that is one of the words i wanted to get out, what didn't make the news is all-out pouring of help from faith-based organizations and non-profits. we had them geared up and ready to go. the problem is, we didn't know how to utilize them and implement them. remember these immigrants are not in federal custody. we were not getting answers where they were going and how we

can intervene to help. supervisor stone offered up a mobile hospital to do a thorough health screening at border patrol office, and we could not get approval from the federal government in time to set that up. those are the types of things we've been trying to do. you heard of concerns from our council members and myself about the facility. originally the reason why we opposed it is because they wanted to send 500 every 72 hours. that facility is not set up for long-term housing. there are only capable of processing 25 per eight hour shift. you do the math. that means a lot of women and children staying there overnight in facility not designed to do so. eric: mr. mayor, some of them are sleeping on the floor. a frustrating experience and situation. it will continue. we thank you so much for joining us today on the fox news channel. >> thank you. eric: patti ann. patti ann: thousands of our nation's most historic artifacts are hidden in a secret location, offering priceless link to the
