hey, everybody. good morning. it's saturday, the fifth of july 2014. i'm anna koolman. as president obama talks immigration reform, the situation at the border intensifies, tensions increase as those on both sides of the fight clash at protests. is the president disconnected from reality? and have a blessed day! how many times have you said that to somebody? well, that just got one woman fired. now she's fighting back. and it's the craziest video you'll see all day, a man holding on for dear life, clinging to the side of a cliff. where'd that video come from? it's unbelievable. we'll show you what happens

next. "fox & friends" begins right now. hey, this is toby keith and you're watching my favorite tv show, "fox & friends." >> a helicopter had to come dangerously close. while he's hanging on for dear life. >> he doesn't die, right? >> well, we don't know. >> we do know. he's fine, just so you know. it's early, 6:01, in fact. good morning. >> good morning! >> it's july 5th, anna koolman. >> tucker carlson. >> i was thinking about that in the shower this morning, actually. i don't know why. >> that's a little strange. at least we know you so that's >> which is also a change. >> making me proud to be an american. how about you? what makes you proud to be an american? you can't rain on our parade. hurricane arthur failed to dampen fourth of july celebrations across the country, starting in the nation's capital. ♪

>> trumpets, cannons and a full orchestra helped celebrate the nation's birthday on the national mall. >> and in new york, the brooklyn bridge was the star of the show for the macy's fireworks spectacular. you could actually watch it streaming online. i don't know that it would have the same impact yesterday. it was the biggest fireworks display they had had, 50,000 explosions in 25 minutes. >> and in san francisco, fireworks lighting up the sky over fisherman's wharf in garr deli square downtown. >> delicious chocolate at the same time. and in west palm beach, possibly the coolest use of a drone ever. a gopro camera strapped to a drone giving us this incredible view inside the fireworks show. pretty cool. >> and folks, we're also celebrating america all weekend long, so send us your proud american tweets at #proudamerica. we got a lot of them yesterday. >> yeah, we did. and i don't know what it is. maybe it's just hot in this country, but there were a lot of shirtless pictures. did you notice that yesterday?

>> yeah. are you saying they shouldn't be shirtless? >> well, hey, whatever floats your boat, but send us whatever photos you want with an american flag, but there were a lot of shirtless photos yesterday -- >> yes. >> guys on front porches. >> the more clothes, the better. and in california, the debate rages over immigration. while you were enjoying your family barbecue, tensions were flaring in a california town that's becoming a flashpoint for the immigration debate. supporters from both sides clashed last night in murrieta, a town in riverside county in the inland empire just north of san diego. buses of immigrants, those from texas, were flown in to lindbergh field in san diego and driven to murrieta to a processing center there. on tuesday, you'll remember, protesters blocked the way of the buses. well, there were protests again yesterday. >> it's not about race, it's about resources. murrieta does not have the resources to support this influx of people. >> they could have a chance like everyone else, come to america to have a chance, you know? they come for the american dream

and if we really want to live up to what we're saying, we should accept them. >> i think we should put them on the bus and send them back. i realize you can't put them back in mexico, but they're illegal. they're breaking our laws. >> i don't blame them. they're all victims of gang violence. i'm a mother two of children. if i was in the same situation, i would do anything for my children, and if that's the last resort, who could blame these moms? >> you heard the back-and-forth there, some residents saying, look, it all comes down to tax dollars, quoting "the government has dropped it on us and we have to now pay for it," others saying you're being xenophobic, and others saying we can't handle it. that's why the protests unfurled yesterday, stopping the buses, the second round of buses into murrieta. >> and because of security concerns, federal officials are also saying they're not going to be telling the public where these immigrants are going to be coming anymore. five pro-immigrant protesters actually even arrested yesterday. so, tensions hitting a real peak. so, it's not your right to know when and where they're coming. your role as an american, according to the democratic

party, is just to be quiet and accept it, and if you don't, you're a racist. the idea is, if people are unhappy in their home countries, they have a moral right to be here and they should be supported with u.s. tax dollars and you have no right to complain about it. that's pretty much the law of the land, according to the president. >> meanwhile, the president yesterday holding a naturalization ceremony at the white house and welcoming in those who were part of the military after serving their country, and the president saying this during this naturalization ceremony. it was a tale of two moments of immigration yesterday. watch. >> we're going to have to fix our immigration system, which is broken, and pass common-sense immigration reform. we shouldn't be making it harder for the best and the brightest to come here and create jobs here and grow our economy here. we should be making it easier. and that's why i'm going to keep doing -- he agrees with me. [ applause ] >> the president has made the point in the past that, look, we have all of these -- we're a

nation of immigrants, the president has said. >> true. >> folks come here -- >> legal. >> they study here and then we send them back to their home countries to improve their countries. why not keep them here? the president also continued to make that argument. >> well, we don't want the brain drain, obviously, but it's not like we're attracting with this humanitarian crisis we're experiencing at the border, as they call it, it's not like we're attracting the best and brightest minds to help us with engineering and technology jobs. that's not where we're going with all this. it's 60,000 illegal children who we don't know where we're even going to put them. charles was on "special report" last night, says the president is basically disconnected from reality, and that speech proves it. >> the president is talking today about i want to keep attracting the best and the brightest from beyond our shores. he's completely disconnected from reality. he's talking about his legislation. it is totally unrelated to this inundation from the south.

if you're worried about the best and the brightest, we know what that is, it's extending the visas, allowing work permits or residence for smart engineers, entrepreneurs from around the world in our universities, ph.ds, and doubling, tripling, making it easier for them to stay. >> well, of course. this is completely idiotic. you want to increase the number of software engineers, hike the h1b quota. you could do it instantly, tomorrow. this isn't about increasing the number of best and brightest, but increasing the number of democratic voters. the last thing a country in a post industrial phase with high employment needs is more unskilled workers and that's exactly what we're importing, not because it helps americans, but it helps democrats, period. >> they turn into voters. >> much more on this throughout the show and we'll be speaking to those there at the protests later on "fox & friends." other stories making news this saturday morning. $5 million up in smoke, and we're not talking about fireworks. a mansion in middlebury, connecticut, burning to the ground, flames shooting out of

the roof as crews struggled to douse the 16-room home with water. 20 water tanks were brought in since there was no main water line on the property. no one was hurt. investigators say the fire was caused by insulation in the attic spontaneously combusting. a florida man's fourth of july lit up early when lightning struck. >> we were standing here and the lightning just, pop! and you see all the sparks, you know, all the electric coming through him and he fell straight back, and he slid into the water. >> robert santiago had to pull his brother-in-law from a canal after lightning knocked him off his feet. the two were just enjoying a fourth of july barbecue when everything happened. luckily, santiago's brother-in-law, michael, should be just fine. and convicted murderer joran van der sloot now a married man. van der sloot exchanged vows with his pregnant girlfriend behind the walls of a peruvian prison. the prime suspect in the 2005 disappearance of u.s. teenager natalee holloway, van der sloot, is currently serving a 28-year

sentence for murdering a woman he met in lima. the bride met van der sloot working in the prison selling candy. >> and she's pregnant! and she's pregnant! >> what? >> yes, she's pregnant! >> how'd that happen? >> shotgun wedding there. i don't know. all right, well, a company with the name american apparel really has an interesting way to mark independence day. the clothing chain's tumbler page sent out this photo marking the fourth of july. it was meant to be a fireworks display, but clearly, it's a stylite photo of the 1986 "challenger" shuttle disaster. shortly after the post, american apparel released an apology, blaming an international employee who had not been born until after the tragedy. >> that's disgusting. >> you could weigh how disgusting the joran van der sloot story was by janice dean's face during that story, which was, arr. >> well, it's when tucker said, how did that happen? ♪ the birds and the bees and the

bugs and the trees ♪ >> i understand, how did that happen? in prison. okay, let's talk about the hurricane, right? >> yes, geez. >> it's almost gone, thank goodness. hurricane arthur became a category 2 hurricane, our strongest hurricane to make landfall since 2008. it's been a long time. and obviously, we had a lot of flooding, winds of up to 100 miles per hour all along the north carolina coast as well as up towards the mid-atlantic and the northeast. and the storm is pretty much out of the way. we do have the potential for some flooding today across portions of maine. there is the system that really sort of moved right up the northeast coastline. and thankfully, most of it remained offshore across the northeast coast. so, we were able to enjoy some fourth of july celebrations. there are the peak wind gusts, over 100 miles an hour cape lookout, 99 pimlico sound and hatteras. this is kind of a wake-up call, into hurricane season, pretty early on to see a category 2 hurricane, though. the rest of the country looks

fairly quiet today. again, that's the remnants of what was hurricane arthur, now tropical storm arthur, bringing heavy rain to maine and eastern canada. of course, we'll keep you up to date and bring you the latest on your weekend forecast. much of the country, thank goodness, looks good, if you had to postpone your weekend or fourth of july barbecue. you can do it today. >> we can thank arthur for getting rid of that humidity, so thank you, arthur. >> isn't it nice outside? >> it is beautiful. >> absolutely. >> thank you, janice. >> you got it. >> i was going to say, get off twitter, tucker. >> i was going to say -- >> he actually is hardly ever on it. >> and yet another study confirms what we already knew in our guts. clayton, you're the tech guy, maybe you disagree. >> well, no, i don't disagree. i think, though, this is endemic of larger social media, just the time we're spending on these gadgets to begin with, but a new study out saying the more time you spend on twitter, the more likely you're to wind up in infidelity, break up or just overall divorce. i think it comes down to just detachment. we're just constantly on these devices. when you're constantly looking at twitter, staring at a stream of nonsense all day, clicking on

links and reading news stories and just stand there, and you're worried, you have this fear of losing out, and it detaches you from relationships. >> fear of missing out, certainly. you even take a look at your former high school sweetheart, what would have happened if that flame had not burned out. and the other thing is it's so much easier to manipulate your online reputation than it is, you know, in person. >> really? i've totally lost control of mine. >> you should try it. >> i'm 15 pounds lighter online, on the internet -- >> i'm fatter online! i can't -- i haven't googled myself in many years because i'm afraid of the results. >> don't do it. it will ruin your weekend. >> no, but it is -- the idea that people could sit, a family of four could sit at a restaurant, each one in his own world on the phone, like, that's the breakdown -- >> father's day dinner. we were out as a family and the table next to us, there was a kid on his phone for like an hour and a half. he literally on father's day did not get off the phone for an hour and a half.

and the father's sitting there saying, wow, this is my dad, but the kids don't even want to look at me. >> how sad! >> maybe he was doing twitter, maybe he was on facebook, playing candy crush. >> one of them. >> detachment is the key. i think you're right. >> tweet us. let us know your thoughts about this. >> speaking of. coming up, this is not a test. >> if you can still hear us at home right now, we just got zapped because of the storm over right now -- >> ooh, wow. the weather so rough, even the weather men are getting some curveballs inside the studio. and the u.s. pays the united nations billions of dollars to keep it running, but what do we get for it? don't ask the government. they have no clue. ♪ really... so our business can be on at&t's network for $175 dollars a month? yup. all five of you for $175. our clients need a lot of attention.

[ kevin ] really? ♪ well, there are over 40,000 united nations employees working in new york city. of those, 30% fall into the highly paid professional category. in 2010, the united states contributed nearly $8 billion to the u.n. that's the official tally done by the obama administration. and for the past two years, the government has been trying to figure out how that money is spent on pay and perks for u.n. employees. the answer? we still have no clue. joining us from washington is the "weekly standard's" michael warren. good morning, michael. so, are we sure we know how much

the u.s. government gives to the u.n.? >> no, we're not sure. we have absolutely no idea how much we give, which is really kind of maddening, if you think about it. it's not like this is money that's going to things that americans love, like beer and burgers and freedom and stuff like that. it's going to the united nations. i mean, this is an organization that seems to -- its sole purpose is to elevate other countries to hate on america and our allies, like israel. so, i mean, this is money that american taxpayers are shelling out. we don't even have any idea how much it is and it's not even going to something great. >> well, not surprisingly, u.n. workers do pretty well. they can't be fired, for example. they don't have to pay their parking tickets. and their salaries and full compensation package are pretty tremendous. i'm going to put up on the screen a comparison. here's the average u.n. worker at the low end, $65,000. the average federal worker, higher than the average private sector worker in the united states, $47,000. it's a pretty good deal to work at the u.n., isn't it? >> that's right. i should get a job there.

i mean, this is the same kind of problem that we're seeing in state level, municipal level, even federal level with federal government workers, as you mentioned, you know, making quite good money, and those pension funds, too, which are going out of control in the growth and the spending. you have people retiring earlier than they do in the private sector. this is a real problem. then you add to that the fact that this is the united nations, you know? it's not like we can vote for somebody at the united nations to clean this up like, hey, maybe they did in new jersey with chris christie and the teachers unions. it's a perfect example of actually being able to do something about it through elected officials. it's not like we vote for the secretary-general of the u.n. so, how do we exactly do this? it's not only that we don't know how much it is, we have no way to fix it. >> so, i'm going to put up on the screen, this is at the high end of the u.n., the average u.n. worker at the white collar ranks, $176,000 as compared to the federal worker, who's more than $50,000 lower. so, four years ago, three years ago, the obama administration stopped publishing a report of

how much the u.s. gives to the u.n. why would they try and keep that information from the public? >> i mean, your guess is as good as mine. i have no idea. this is the most baffling part of this is that they've stopped trying to figure this out, or they've done these studies and tried to figure it out and they just haven't published the information. i will say, there is one silver lining to all of this, if you can call it that, which is that the number, $7.6 billion that it was in 2010, is really a small percentage. i did some back calculation -- i'm kind of a math whiz -- and it's a really small, like less than 0.5% of the federal budget. so, it's not that much money in the grand scheme of things that we're giving, even if you say it's $15 billion in the last four years it's jumped up to, it would still be less than 0.5%. so, it's not something that is going to break the bank here in the united states, but again, it is maddenin that we can't do anything about it is, i mean, it's just frustrating. >> when you're sending billions to a group that hates you and

you're not even allowed to know how much you're sending, yeah, it's annoying! michael warren from "the weekly standard," thank you very much for joining us this morning. it's really interesting. >> thanks, tucker. well, have a blessed day. how many times have you said that to someone? well, that just got one woman fired from her job. we'll have details. and what better way to celebrate the fourth of july weekend than helping a veteran? our own cheryl casone has found four easy ways to do that. stick around, find out what they are. ♪ nineteen years ago, we thought, "wow, how is there no way to tell the good from the bad?" so we gave people the power of the review. and now angie's list is revolutionizing local service again. you can easily buy and schedule services from top-rated providers.

getting their lives on track, especially those that are disabled, but also going out there and getting jobs and making that huge transition, that tough transition from battlefield to corporate world. and you know this one very well. >> yeah. >> this is building homes for heroes. >> yeah, and they build these mortgage-free smart homes fit for iraq and afghanistan veterans, right? >> yeah, custom homes. and you know, the best way to get a job and to get your life secure and stable and everything is to have a great home. a lot of our heroes have special needs, in particular when it comes to disabilities, whether it's a new shower or whatever. these homes are incredibly expensive. building homes for heroes, they go out there -- they've only made 17 homes because each home is incredibly expensive, but this is a way to get the veteran and their family into a great environment to help them kind of make that transition, and again, to get their careers going for both the veteran, and of course, for the family as well. that's the first organization i really like. >> for example, a double amputee can wheel in under the stove, so he's not going to be hitting his knees on the cabinets or into the shower. >> they made a great kitchen for a blind veteran because he loved

to cook. they made a completely blind-accessible kitchen. anyway. >> next up, hire heroes usa. >> obviously, this is again, one of my favorites. look, the post-9/11 unemployment rate is 7% right now, higher than the national average for post-9/11 veterans. they help train veterans, they help advise veterans. they've been in business for a long time. and you know, they basically are getting about 21 veterans hired per week. that's about the average that they're pulling in right now. it's about networking. it's about knowing how to market yourself. and a lot of these men and women that are coming out of service don't know how to do that, and that is such an important thing, especially when you're competing with people that have been in the corporate world. you're coming from a different type of environment. you've got to know how to kind of make that transition and kind of -- especially it's about marketing yourself. that's why i like these guys. >> and translate even on your resume. next up, national coalition for homeless veterans, hearts of color. >> founded back in 1990. this is housing, food, health services, also employment services. i mean, look, there are so many

homeless veterans. i think they were getting to about 40% of homeless veterans right now in all. this group in particular is reaching out to get them back into the world, you know, deal with, whether it's ptsd, the problems they may have, but then get them, you know, eventually, the goal is get them into a home, get them healthy and then get them a job. this is, again, another group i really enjoy. >> and we remember the wounded warrior wives organization. >> yes. >> and now they are called hearts of valor. >> they changed the name. this is maintained by operation home front. again, an organization i'm sure a lot of you are familiar with. they help spouses build communities. and they do online -- excuse me, not online, they do regular retreats for these spouses to get together to network, to talk about issues, especially spouses of wounded veterans. a lot of times, those spouses have to go out and get back into the work force, in particular if they've got someone they've got to care for at home. the financial burden can be, as you know, enormous on someone that is disabled. and so, i really like this group as well. and they also do have an online

community as well, but i like the retreat idea, that networking with other spouses, because spousal unemployment we've talked about as well on the show, is so high right now for those that are coming back. >> they've served us as well. >> cheryl casone from fox business network, thank you so much. >> you bet. 28 minutes after the hour. and coming up on "fox & friends weekend," joan rivers makes fun of everyone, right? >> is there anyone you would not make a joke about? >> joan's answer when we come back. and a climber stranded on the face of a cliff with no ropes or harness. the amazing rescue video you have got to see, just ahead. ♪ it's always the same dilemma, who gets the allstate safe driving bonus check. rock beats scissors! wife beats rock.

over-the-top, vocashious thinking of theirs. it's just absolutely amazing that wanting to give the homeless and the low-income individuals in berkeley marijuana -- number one, it's not going to help, and it's going to cause -- and here's a very important point -- it's going to cause berkeley, the city of berkeley poverty rate and low-income rate to move through generations. >> let's put this number up on the screen, ron, because the poverty rate right now in berkeley, california, is at 18%. >> yes, it is. >> california -- the rest of california's at 15.9%. so, the poverty rate there in berkeley is higher, but they make this point. here's what they say, the berkeley patients group, which had pushed for this. they said "we've found out that over the years that one of the cruel realities is that when you

do get sick and you have a serious illness, it's often hard to keep a job and it can be hard to keep your income up, so those people really need help the most." what do you say, ron? >> that's illusionary thinking. smoking dope, smoking marijuana, number one, you're not going to be able to pass the drug test, and the effects of marijuana that the professionals are saying, it causes schizophrenia, you can't think, it makes you lazy, it makes you depressed. how in the world will those that are on low income or homeless going to improve themselves? and can you imagine a child in a home, in a low-income home and the parents are smoking dope? that child in that home, whether they're a welfare recipient or not, that's what they grew up with, believing that's the right thing. and so, now, berkeley is saying

we're going to give the low income, welfare recipients or homeless, the mentally ill, free dope, and you know, they're going to take that dope and they're going to sell that dope. why don't berkeley give them free pipes and free papers also? but that type of thinking will spread through a generation of individuals. not only are they going to create welfare recipients and continually have low-income families in berkeley, that's going to go through generations. this is a very, very bad ideal. >> bishop ron allen weighing in this morning on the free weed being offered to low-income patients out there in berkeley, california, with an 18% poverty rate out there. ron, great to see you this morning. thanks for waking up early with us on the west coast. we appreciate it. >> thank you for having me. coming up here, thousands of illegals pouring in across our border. texas congressman louis gomer is here. he says we're on the cusp of

♪ 52 minutes after the hour. when army veteran glen phillips learned his small kentucky town was canceling its fourth of july

parade over "lack of interest," he sprung into action with an online campaign. >> his neighbors in liberty, kentucky, rallied right behind him, and the celebration, well, it was back on. so, how did it all go? joining us now is retired army staff sergeant glen phillips. mr. phillips, thanks for coming on this morning. how did a town called liberty decide not to have a fourth of july parade? >> clayton, i really don't know how that happened, except i was told by the mayor a lack of interest. and of course, you know, that's liberty and really don't know except that. >> that's crazy. you took to facebook because you were outraged about it. you said the fourth of july celebration will go on in my town. i'm going to make it happen. what unfolded after you went to facebook? >> after that, 15 minutes after that, and i found myself on the agenda with a meeting with the

city council, and i was professional and nice and said, you know, once i got there, i disagree. i don't believe that's what the people believe, that they are an interest in having an independence day celebration. and there was a meeting set up for another meeting two days later at 10:00, if i recall right, the next morning. and after that, brought about 15 folks with me that could come and our local newspaper, local radio station. and by this time, we've had a change of heart. by this time, it wasn't really a meeting to have a meeting. we decided we're just going to have a parade and we're going to do it, and we're starting right now. and we invited city officials to help us, because we realized we needed a miracle. >> right. >> and we only had eight days to go.

and so, we just took into action quickly. >> and staff sergeant phillips, tell us exactly how everything came out. we're looking at some video from the parade yesterday. we saw the patriotic pictures. what was the response like? >> the response was overwhelming. there was folks calling me from across the nation, e-mailing, and even folks from across the country came to liberty. we had one gentleman from michigan, one 62-year-old drove all the way from louisiana, one from alabama. there was folks from all over our state. it was amazing. it was humbling. it would bring cold chills on you to meet those folks. and they all came for the right reasons. they came to only celebration independence day and to show that there is an interest and to just have a good time and

support liberty and freedom. and it was just, it was great. it was overwhelming for everybody. >> what a wonderful story. what do you think the chances are they'll have a parade next year in liberty, kentucky? >> i would say it would be pretty high. we're already planning as of e feel it in the air. folks i've talked to already have messaged me or talked to me that day said we want to come back and we want to make it bigger the next year. and i don't know how we can do that. we even had a flyover that day. >> wow. >> by one of our folks that lives in the county. but it was a 30-minute parade, 30 minutes long. it was huge. >> something tells me that next year -- >> i don't know how we can do better. >> you have a population of 2,000 people in liberty, and thousands more showed up from out of town. so, i think liberty might be a hotspot for fourth of july celebrations in the future. glen, great to see you this morning and thanks for doing that. really heartening story. thanks, glen. >> you're welcome.

thank you all for supporting us. >> somebody just needed to light a fire under everybody's rear end and glen was the guy to do it! 56 minutes after the hour. her exotic hunting photos caused a social media firestorm. and now she's getting death threats? is this intolerance gone too far? and people are outraged after finding out that facebook secretly performed psychological experiments on its users. whoa! our next guest says it's not just facebook that does it, it happens all the time. we'll tell you who's testing you without your knowledge, coming up.

hello, and good morning. it's saturday, the fifth of july 2012. i'm anna koolman. this is "fox & friends." as president obama touts immigration reform on independence day, one town was forced to take the streets to defend their borders. is the white house playing politics with our sovereignty? and her exotic hunting photos caused a social media firestorm, and facebook outright deleted them. now she's getting death threats. tolerance? we've got details coming up. and the most patriotic name in america revealed. is it yours? i wonder if it's mine. is clayton more patriotic than john? >> nope. >> what? i'm taking this out of my ear. don't tell me that! "fox & friends" hour two starts

right now. i'm donald trump and you're watching "fox & friends," and if you turn the channel, you're fired. >> you're fired! >> that's right. >> the donald commands you to watch, and good for him. good morning! happy july 5th. it's 7:01. welcome in -- >> did you guys enjoy the fireworks yesterday or do something patriotic? >> well, my kid's 4 years old, so he goes to bed at like 7:30, but the fireworks that started at 9:00 i'm sure woke him out of his slumber in our little new jersey town. it was a lot of that for 30 minutes. did you see them? >> they were great over the brooklyn bridge last night. they moved it to the east river here in new york city, so i watched that program. it was amazing. certainly patriotic, and hurricane arthur made the weather kind of chill out a little bit, the temperature. >> tucker was coming down from maine. did you get to see any fireworks on your journey down the coast yesterday? >> down the merritt parkway coming through greenwich, connecticut, there were explosions over the horizon. >> that's pretty cool. >> it was beautiful. that was the extent of my celebration, but i'm glad to be here.

>> rain couldn't stop the parades, because hurricane arthur failed to dampen fourth of july celebrations all across the country, starting with the nation's biggest fireworks show. take a look. >> in new york city, the brooklyn bridge was the star of the show for the macy's fireworks spectacular. 50,000 explosions in 25 minutes. >> to chicago now. more than 100,000 people packed navy pier, the crowd so big there were officials turning people away two hours before the performance. >> and in st. louis, fireworks lighting up the night sky at webster grove. >> and in west palm beach, possibly the coolest use of a drone ever. this is what it looks like -- >> wow! >> -- when you strap a gopro camera to a drone and fly it through a fireworks show. >> i wonder if it got hit at all. that's a good use for an unpiloted aircraft, i would say. >> we're going to be celebrating all morning long. we're celebrating america all weekend long, so remember to keep sending us your proud

american tweets with #proudamerican. well, out west, things continued to get fiery yesterday because on the fourth of july there was another round of buses that were set to come into murrieta, california, where protesters, remember earlier in the week, had turned away the earlier buses filled with illegal immigrants which had been flown in from texas because they didn't have the processing requirements available to them in texas, so they had to fly them into this small town, small population there, to be processed at this detention facility there. local residents, though, yesterday, when these other buses came, said uh-uh, you're not coming into our town again. get back out of here. >> yeah, we're seeing reaction from both sides. in fact, there were protesters on either side of the argument yesterday. border patrol agents, federal officials really separating the crowd like that so the bus could, indeed, get through. here's a look at what some of the folks had to say. >> it's not about race, it's about resources. murrieta does not have the

resources to support this influx of people. >> they should have a chance just like everybody else, comes to america to have a chance, you know? they come for the american dream, and if we really want to live up to what we're saying, then we should accept them. >> i think we should put them on the bus and send them back. and i realize we can't put them back in mexico, but they're illegal. they're breaking our laws. >> i don't blame them. they're all victims of gang violence. i'm a mother of two children. if i was in the same situation, i would do anything for my children, and if that's the last resort, who could blame these moms? >> tucker, really hitting a peak. five protesters were arrested, and federal officials are saying we're not going to tell you where the buses are coming from anymore so that things like this don't continue to happen. >> california is really overwhelmed. california has more poverty than any state in the united states, and that is directly a result of an unrestricted flow of immigration. now, you may support it or not, but it certainly has taxed that state to the limit, its infrastructure, its schools, its hospitals. you wouldn't know it living in washington. i grew up in california, i saw it there.

i live in d.c. now. d.c.'s now the richest city in the world. totally insulated from the grounds in california. the president took the opportunity yesterday to push for more immigration. here's what he said. >> we're going to have to fix our immigration system, which is broken, and pass common-sense immigration reform. we shouldn't be making it harder for the best and the brightest to come here and create jobs here and grow our economy here. we should be making it easier. and that's why i'm going to keep doing -- he agrees with me. [ applause ] >> so, will the president use executive power to basically call these individuals refugees, therefore skirting the system by enabling refugee status, then they don't have to be sent back to guatemala, el salvador and honduras, where they've come from. one refugee, one member of this group, who has actually been on the inside of all of this, told our own todd starnes what it looks like from inside.

"it's a tsunasnatsunami of peop don't know what we can do to make it stop. it's more serious than people realize. it's a mass migration of people. to move central america to the united states is not the answer. it's a serious problem and someone in washington needs to wake up." even some democratic congressmen getting on board with this idea of granting refugee status. >> well, an internal e-mail that was just uncovered shows that i.c.e. is now calling them unaccompanied children, rather than unaccompanied alien children or uacs is what they used to call them. and now they're essentially banning that phrase, according to this e-mail, and they have to call them just unaccompanied children, like they're a child who's been left at the mall and can't find their parents or something. >> but they already in effect have refugee status. if you show up in the united states and claim you are persecuted or in danger, mortal danger in your home country, you have a claim on staying here and being supported by taxpayers. think that through for a second. i have compassion. i have been a lot of places in this world. i have compassion for the suffering. there is suffering in a lot of parts of this world, almost

every other place apart from here and western europe, but does the united states have a moral obligation to pay to resettle the populations of every country where they're settling? can we have a rational conversation? no, because it dwoflz immediately into bumper stickers. i'm compassionate, you're not. you're racist, i'm not. what's good for america? let's start there. there is not an adult conversation about immigration going on right now, unfortunately. >> you don't want to come across as being cold or callus, as you say, but we are a nation of laws and people are abiding them. >> what about the populations on the border town where congress has funded to security the border. where did the money go to put up the fence? ten years ago they funded the project. what happened to that? >> one in six american men is unemployed, cannot find a job. you tell me that this level of immigration is helping those people. how is it helping them? it's not. it's hurting them. it's hurting americans. why can't we be honest about that? i don't know why. >> because it's politically inopportune right now to have an

honest conversation about it. let us know about it. meanwhile, we have headlines to get to. a florida man's fourth of july lit up early when lightning struck. >> we're standing here and the lightning just hit him, pop! and you see all the sparks, you know, like all the electric coming through him and he fell straight back and he slid into the water. >> robert santiago had to pull his brother-in-law from a canal after lightning knocked him off his feet. the two were just enjoying a fourth of july barbecue when it all happened. luckily, santiago's brother-in-law, michael, should be just fine. an accused double agent straining already tense relations between the united states and germany. it's been a year already filled with spying and phone hacking, and now the german government has arrested a man accused of spying for the united states on germany's investigation into the nsa scandal. the 31-year-old worked for germany's foreign intelligence service and has apparently confessed to spying for america. the u.s. ambassador has been

summoned to germany's foreign office for questioning. radioactive material that could be used to make a dirty bomb stolen from a truck in mexico city. a group of armed men grabbed the device about the size of a pen. police racing to find the people responsible. it's the third theft of radioactive material in mexico since december. patriotic parents across america have chosen their children's names from the history books, according to new research. more than 1,000 people are named samuel adams, the fourth governor of massachusetts. 1,500 are named after the first president of the united states. 1,600 sign the name john hancock. and more than 7,000 taking the name of revolutionary war financier robert morris. but the most popular patriotic name? that's john adams, our second president. nearly 10,000 people have his name. >> you know, rutherford b. haley -- >> hasn't really

erford. >> i missed my chance. >> james polk. all right, let's check in with janice dean, outside looking at the forecast. hey, janice. >> it is a beautiful day here in new york and look at the beautiful people i ran into. where are you from? >> tennessee. >> what's your name? >> karen. >> atlanta, mike. >> amanda from atlanta, also. >> pennsylvania, garfield. >> what are you guys doing here? did you see the fireworks last night? >> yeah. >> was it worth the price of admission? >> yes. >> absolutely. >> very nice. well, welcome to new york and stick around. we've got a whole show you get to be on. let's look at the weather forecast today. remember, we had hurricane arthur yesterday? well, the remnants of hurricane arthur, now tropical storm arthur, moving in towards maine. we have a couple of inches of rain, unfortunately, here today, but you know what? by this afternoon, skies are going to start to clear and you're going to get your weekend barbecues in, i promise. there's your forecast across the northeast. beautiful conditions. i mean, the humidity is gone. it is a spectacular saturday across the northeast. a little bit of rain across portions of the southeast and florida and then towards

southern texas, a warm day over the southern u.s., and then up towards the midwest, we'll see the potential for severe weather today, right around the omaha area, so we'll watch for showers and scattered storms throughout the afternoon. but otherwise, a very good looking forecast. welcome to new york. do you like "fox & friends"? >> absolutely! >> you're great. >> okay. back inside. >> thank you so much, janice. it is beautiful outside. well, you know about the facebook story, right? kendall jones, of course, the texas cheerleader who goes over to africa and shoots exotic animals there? well, caused quite an outrage last week when these pictures wound up on her facebook page. people said take them down, take them down! now a reality star -- by the way, this photo of the rhino, that rhino is not killed. it was tranquilized by a veterinarian to do some work on this rhino and get it back up and running. so, that rhino has not been killed in that photo. >> just getting his wisdom teeth out.

but someone called joanna crupa, who according to our producers is famous -- >> a model. >> a supermodel. they claim she's a supermodel. i don't even know what that is. what makes a supermodel? anyway, she sent out on twitter "this b-redacted kendall jones killed this beautiful picture so she could post a selfie. that lion is an endangered species. breaks my [ expletive ] heart." >> she says this poor girl is getting death threats now because of her hunting hobby that she has. whether you agree or disagree with it, what a bully to do this to a teenage girl. >> yeah. then the photos had been removed from facebook. it was unclear whether or not facebook actually removed the photos or that someone else removed the photos, but she was saying that she was doing all of this for conservation efforts, that by killing lions and tigers and elephants, that she was doing it for conservation efforts. >> well, i hunt a lot. i'm uncomfortable with shooting

things you don't eat, like lions, personally. but it is true that if it weren't for hunters, then you wouldn't have big game in africa. they would just be killed for bush meat. they fund all of the conservation efforts in africa, foreign hunters do, so she's right to that extent. but the idea that facebook might be removing content it deems offensive -- it does do that -- is a little scary considering a lot of people upload their entire photo libraries on to facebook. >> oh, absolutely, yeah. all the stuff that you sign up for when you click that terms of service in facebook gives them a lot of leeway, as we now know with the psychological experiments they've been doing on your news line. we'll talk about that coming up. >> yeah. you wonder if a boy had been doing the same thing, a teenage boy had been doing the same thing, if this story would be making headlines. let us know your thoughts. >> didn't the head of godaddy get into a lot of water about shooting -- >> remember the white house blamed a video for the benghazi attacks? well, this morning, mounting evidence that shatters that claim. and think the thousands of

pushing increased immigration, saying we should be making it easier for people to come into the country, not harder. our next guest is a congressman from a border state, texas, and he warns that if we don't enforce immigration laws, the u.s. will become, as he put it, a third world nation. here to explain, texas congressman louie gomer. congressman, thanks for joining us. >> always good to be with you. >> what do you mean by that? >> well, if you go down to the border, as i just was, and you see what's happening, you see, basically, we have -- and i'm not calling them refugees, but they're like refugee camps. and this was totally predictable, and the more we find out, the more we know this administration knew what they were doing in throwing the doors open, getting word to central and south america -- now they're doing it on their own. they get here and they say, hey, they're not sending anybody back, come on. and all this stuff about they're coming to escape violence and murder and mayhem. when you talk to them, as i've been with border patrol in the middle of the night questioning people, the first thing they say is, well, no, we wanted to come for a good school.

we heard we can come now and you will take them to their parents in different places, which is happening. i mean, a federal judge last year said that the department of homeland security is now engaged in human trafficking. it is. and so, if you think about it, tucker, you've got a house, you've got a family, you're doing well. word goes out, look, we're doing well. anybody wants to get to my yard, we'll bring you in the home, we'll take care of all your needs, medical, you know, schooling, even holder has said we'll provide you free legal, you know -- >> it's unbelievable. >> well, they are flocking to america. and it's hurting especially minority communities that have been trying to find jobs. >> of course. >> then we even have people saying, look, if you just come illegally and go into the armed forces, then we'll give you citizenship. and we're already losing patriots from the military from all the cuts, but this is

insane. and tucker, we don't even know all the diseases and how extensive the diseases are. this federal government, this administration wouldn't even admit for a long time that they knew they had h1n1. and when that's communicated human to human, you're talking about potentially life-threatening. >> so, the president said yesterday that the goal of u.s. immigration policy is to induce the best and the brightest to come to the united states. this does not look like an effort to get the best and the brightest to come. >> no, it is insane. and we don't even know who all these people are. they come, they have no identification. border patrol say we know that we're getting more than we've ever gotten from countries where there is islamic terrorism, and we've got people coming from countries where there is a lot of crime. and unless they just have a tattoo that says "ms-13," it's harder and harder to tell who is, you know, the gang bangers, the real violent people. and again, in talking to physicians down there that are

trying to help as best they can, they don't really check kids unless they're manifesting symptoms. h1n1 may go a week without manifesting symptoms. and then we're putting them on planes. when's the last time you got on a plane without an identification with a photo? they're putting people on planes, mass transportation -- >> it's unbelievable. >> and they don't even know who they're putting on there, and it's the federal government that's doing it. >> well, their policy has always been, it's racist to ask for an i.d., so i guess this is part of it. >> but it is especially hurting minorities what they're doing -- >> of course it is. >> and you've got the kids, you know, you can't coach these kids. these kids say, look, we want to go visit our mom or dad and live with them. they're illegally in north carolina, in florida, wherever, and then we ship them out. it's a danger to this country what this administration's doing. >> congressman louie gomer of texas, thanks for being with us this morning. >> thank you. >> appreciate it. a multimillion dollar mansion goes up in flames. the cause of the inferno will

turned officially, making her the oldest living american. born in 1898, gertrude weaver says she's lived this long by trusting in the lord, working hard and loving everybody. >> 1898. well, some outrage this week after it surfaced that facebook conducted an experiment that secretly manipulated the news feed of some users to study emotions and their emotional response to it. how typical is this kind of thing and should we be worried? newell o'connor is the ceo of science and technology. newla, thanks for joining me. >> thanks for having me, clayton. >> you said when you first heard about this, you and your company are anxious because you were worried about the future of social media and these other services. why so nervous about this? >> i wouldn't say nervous. we are excited about the possibilities of new technology and the always on environment. i'm a huge facebook user myself, so i love facebook and there's good news and bad news here for facebook. the good news is people love

their facebook profiles. the bad news is they love their facebook profiles and are really concerned about the idea of somebody messing with them. so, the fact that when you're online, pretty much everything you do can be seen and tracked, and you know, quantified can be really helpful. you get more information, you get things that are relevant to you, but it also means that decisions are being made about you that you may not be aware of. >> the more i thought about this story throughout the week, the more outraged i became. the thought that without telling you, we can manipulate how you feel, your emotions, by showing you more negative news. we could make you happier by manipulating your emotions by showing you cute baby pictures. facebook says, hey, you know what, it's in our terms of service, and they say this in their terms of service. can use your information for troubleshooting, data analysis, testing research and service improvement. they say, hey, you signed up for facebook. we can do anything we want. >> so, clayton, everything you said could apply to you as well, right? and everybody in media and everybody online is a possible

user and manipulator of information. i'm so glad you brought up terms of service, because that's really where the issue is. when you join facebook or any online community, you're signing up for a contract, and those are the terms. and i think it's yet to be seen whether the terms adequately cover this, although i think they probably did. the real question is, this is a community and these are the ethics of changing and manipulating or altering what you see in the community about your friends and your family. i think that's what really struck a chord with people this week and i think we're excited about working on what are the norms and rules going forward as we live our lives online. and so much of my life -- i'm one of those classic moms, wait a minute while i post these cute baby pictures of you on facebook. there's a joke going around online about that. but as we share and express ourselves online, we need to be aware of what are the decisions behind the scenes that are being made about us. and do we fully participate in that online community fairly and equally and openly, and is the

information, as you point out, that we're seeing, the offers we're getting for mortgages or car loans or educational opportunities, are they being distributed equally across class and gender and race? we want to make sure that there's really not just impact of discrimination behind the scenes that we're not aware of. >> i have a theory about why they did this. they did this a couple years ago when all those stories were surfacing about, you know, can facebook make you happy, can facebook make you sad. i think they did this sort of internal study of tens of thousands of people's news feeds to maybe come out with a story that says, you know what, facebook makes you happy. but facebook says "our goal was never to upset anyone. i can understand why some people have concerns about it. in hindsight, the research benefits of the paper may not have justified all of this anxiety," and we really don't know the after effects of this, do we, nuala? could we have individuals depressed as a result of them being shown negative information all the time? the ftc about to open an investigation on this, so we don't know the after effects of

this, do we? >> i think you're right to go back and look at what people were saying. there's the facebook effect of i wish my life were as good as what it appears to be on facebook or i wish my life were as good as my friend's appears to be on facebook, and they wanted to make sure that wasn't happening, that people weren't adversely affected or what the impact was. these are legitimate and important questions to ask. so, we're not calling for an end to this kind of research. what we'd like are good rules and good oversight in place. so, when i was in the tech community, i served as a chief privacy officer, and i was at three different companies during that work, and we looked at how the data's used and what kind of impact the data analytics and data studies do. so this is real world, realtime, real impact stuff, and there's an ethical issue here that we need to morph into issues of irbs, institutional review boards, ethical review boards, some kind of oversight that lets end users know that somebody's looking at these tests, that they know what's going on, that there are rules in place. you're absolutely right, i don't think the impact here was actually that huge, but i think

overall this is a conversation we need to be having. all companies. this isn't just facebook. this is everywhere you go online is looking at you, trying to sell you more stuff, make your end users experience better. these are legitimate there's, but we need to make sure it's not having a desperate impact. >> nuala o'connor, thank you for joining us and for your analysis. we appreciate it. >> thank you. coming up here on the show, remember the white house blamed a video for the benghazi attack? well, this morning, mounting evidence that shatters that claim altogether. and what is this video? well, the chilean government released it. they say they don't know what it is, and it was hovering in midair for two hours. what in the world is it? could it be a ufo? really... so our business can be on at&t's network for $175 dollars a month?

use the #proudamerican to keep sending your photos yesterday from your independence day celebrations across this country. i haven't seen any from philadelphia yet. we've shown, you know, where the country started, by the way? a little biased -- >> the liberty bell or something. >> well, it's early. 7:35 on the east coast, so there's time. >> i haven't even seen fireworks from there yet. if you have any from philadelphia, please send them to us. i'd like to see them. all right, we want to tell you about this story in northern kentucky. a bank teller filed suit after she was fired for saying "have a blessed day." you know how when people are coming through the window or they just come up to the counter, they're asking for their checks or they're depositing something, and as you're saying so long, farewell, have a blessed day, something we say in the south all the time. loses her job because of it. >> yeah. she says, though, that, polly -- this is her name, polly nease. she writes "i say have a blessed day all the time. i don't think there's any better kind of day you can have than a blessed day." you look up blessed in the dictionary, it just means have a fortunate day, have a happy day,

have a lovely day. she got in trouble, though, for also, i think, calling out some people for using the lord's name in vain at some point. >> talking to them about their salvation. so, u.s. bank has come forward, too, and they say you know what, this was a violation of our ethics code and to try to persuade someone and push your religious beliefs on them isn't fair, but ultimately getting fired for saying "have a blessed day." come on. >> well, the reason blessed is so threatening to some people is because it suggests that there's something bigger than you, there's god, that your happiness comes from some higher power. and that's very offensive to the militant atheists who are all of a sudden so vocal around the country. i should also say she is suing, which i profoundly disapprove of, but the idea that have a blessed day is a threatening statement -- >> right. >> that people should be offended is insane. >> or that she should be fired over it. how many times do you go to a fast-food place or into a retail establishment where the clerk doesn't even make eye contact with you? it's as if you're burdening them

with giving them your money. >> they don't say hello or good-bye. >> they don't say anything! it's like, wow, did we just have a transaction? >> i think you should fire someone for that. >> i agree! >> absolutely. >> that would never happen, by the way, at disney world. they have a policy, i'm not sure the exact policy, but if you don't smile at patrons, if someone from disney walks by and you're not smiling or interacting nicely with the patrons there, you could lose your job. >> yeah. >> if they catch you doing it like twice, you're out, you're gone. >> goofy has told me personally to have a blessed day and you know what, i was flattered. >> we asked viewers. ron in kentucky says "i personally have no problem when i'm told to have a blessed day, however, an employer has a right to make rules and if you choose not to follow those rules, you should be fired, period." >> i agree with that completely. whether or not firing the person's a good idea, though, is open to debate, and in this case, don't think it is. chris writes this, "a woman fired for having a blessed day. should she say good-bye? that's a contraction of god

being with ye." >> interesting. good point. >> didn't know that. ronnette writes "have a blessed day!" >> thank you. appreciate it. >> send your thoughts on twitter, ffweekend on twitter. >> we appreciate ya. we have other stories making headlines this saturday morning in new orleans. a suspect on bourbon street, a mass shooting, has been arrested in mississippi. 20-year-old trung lee will be xa indicted to louisiana, facing one charge of first-degree murder and nine charges of attempted first-degree murder. police believe he fired the first shot and at least two people exchanged gunfire. they are still trying to get information on the other suspect. remember when the white house blamed a video for the benghazi terror attack? well, this morning, mounting evidence that shatters that claim. the case against lone suspect ahmed abu khattala providing unprecedented details about the assault that killed four americans. court papers say those spearheading the attack were part of a conspiracy. in the days before the attack, khattala allegedly voiced

opposition to the american facility in benghazi. the information released by the justice department indicates that the major players in the attack were operating on their own agenda. and take a look at this. a full-grown cougar spotted up in a backyard tree during a fourth of july barbecue! >> i looked up and i just seen him hanging there. i said let's get in the house, there's a cougar out here. >> whoo! officials in portland, oregon, were able to get the wild animal down after tranquilizing it. the cougar was later euthanized. portland residents have reported multiple cougar sightings this week. now, not talking about courteney cox. >> they euthanized the cougar? >> i don't want that to drift off, that's a great one. take a look at this, by the way, a ufo sighting in chile. look at this. the country's own government releasing these pictures showing what they believe to be a ufo. the aeronautical association within the chilean government

didn't know what it was. the ufo was spotted by mine workers, and they say the object was silent, flying low and slow near the area, and it hovered in the same spot for two hours. chilean officials saying it's not ours. and all meteorological phenomenon have been ruled out in the area. it was a bright, cloudless, sunny day. unbelievable. there's actually video i posted on my twitter account of it earlier this morning. janice dean, do you have the inside track on exactly what that is? >> did you say meteorological phenomen phenomenon? >> all meteorological phenomenon were ruled out at the time. it was a clear, bright, sunny day. >> i'll have to look into that. >> please do. >> you know what, i stumbled into some of our littlest fox fans. well, not little. how old are you, sir? >> i'm 10. >> and you are? >> 7. >> and you guys are brothers. what's your name? >> i'm aiden. >> gabe. >> and what's your name? >> julianne. >> where are you from? >> china. >> really? did you guys see the fireworks yesterday? >> yes. >> were they awesome? >> yes. >> are you going to be in new york for all day today? >> no. >> no. do you want to say hi to anybody

anybody want to be a weatherman? what do you think? or a weather woman! >> no. >> no? >> i don't know. >> okay, well, we'll talk about this, all right? over to clayton, anna and tucker. >> i think the little girl with her hand jumping up and down -- >> ooh, me, me! >> i think she's got a career in weather. coming up here in the show, she's not a major leaguer, but this girl's got game. she's here next with how she made these two great snags that made her an internet sensation. and a family about to be put out of business by a mouse? and it's all because the feds say this little guy is in danger. where is the common sense on this one? >> living in new york city, they're not endangered. >> no. ♪ [ male announcer ] this is the age of knowing what you're made of.

"the daily call" reports this, that the obama administration

has not yet made a decision on this. what recourse does the family have? >> well, the process is long. i mean, they're talking about up to eight months just to review -- they call is a scoping process. it's an eight-month process to scope out the situation to then make a determination. and i am not even confident that eight months is going to be enough, if you look at the review process of the keystone pipeline, it could be years. and these people are just in a holding pattern over laguardia. and unless i'm mistaken, unless they're grazing meadow jumping cows, i think the rodents are faster and can get out of the way. >> well, exactly. and how -- look, this emanates from the endangered species act, which as far as i know was passed in order to protect the california condor and the bald eagle and majestic animals you'd care about, maybe not necessarily a jumping mouse. how did it get to be interpreted that a mouse is more important than the livelihood of a family? >> because the actual intent of the people who passed the

endangered species act, it was not just about condors and bald eagles. look, environmentalism is an assault on capitalism in such a way as to make the people doing it look better. these people are watermelons. they're green on the outside and red on the in. there's a reason earth day is the same day as vladimir lenin's birthday. that's not a coincidence. they passed the law and then they regulate it beyond all its reasonable congressional limits that were in place in the first place because they want to do stuff like this, they want to prevent people from farming and ranching and all these things. look, there's hundreds and hundreds of miles of nothing surrounding this guy's ranch. the mice will move if they find it inhospitable. but as we found, sometimes they like what's going on. we were told the pipeline in alaska was going to be awful for the inhabitants, and the caribou love it because it's the only thing that's warm within 1,000 miles in the winter. >> exactly. is it -- >> anybody who's ever cut a path

through the forest finds out immediately, deer and moose flock to it because they like paths, too. in a sense, a lot of environmentalisted don't get outside very often. >> i've quoted you when we say we need people who write environmental policy who actually use the environment, hunt and fish and actually go outside and don't sit in offices in d.c. and say, okay, we're going to build an -- i'd also like to point out the irony of an 8-foot-high fence keeping this poor family out of their land. why don't they apply that logic to the southern border? i'm just curious. >> that would be a really good question. we want to put up quickly a response from a spokesman from the u.s. forest service, robert trujillo who says it's our experience that a fence like that to protect occupied habitat seems to be the best way we can do our affirmative duty and protect that habitat." any idea why a fence to keep mice in would have to be 8 feet high? >> well, because the mouse

9-foot-high ladder company will open. >> so good. seton motley joining us this morning. thank you for clarifying in every sense of the term. well, how's this for transparency? the white house releases 1,200 pages of obamacare regulations just in time for the holiday weekend. it's a document dump of epic proportions. we'll tell you what's in it. and she's not a major leaguer, but this girl does have game. the internet sensation is here next to tell us about her newfound stardom. >> a wide foul again, picked again. >> wow. ♪ look at me, i can be center field ♪ >> showing some range.

three in a row. >> the hot corner. >> yeah, and you really did almost -- that third one just kind of took a dip at the last second. you would have had three there. did you hear the announcers at all? i mean, can you hear them in the stadium or have you heard since all these amazing comments they're making about you? >> during the game, no, but a couple people posted the video to my facebook wall afterwards. so, i got to hear what jerry remmy and don orsillo said afterwards. >> and how does it make you feel? >> you know what, jerry remmy is always one to give us credit when ball girls make a good play, so it's not out of character for him, but he definitely had a good couple one-liners in there, so thought it was pretty funny. >> so, you grew up playing softball, so you knew how to handle this stuff. but seemed like the crowd was getting behind you, more and more energetic. they weren't even watching game anymore, they were watching you. >> the great thing about fenway park is the crowd is in your lap when you're on the field. i mean, i have season ticket holders that sit next to me and fans that come here for one game

and travel really far. so, you really get to interact with the fans a lot in my position, and you do get to make some friends out there. so, they're definitely rooting for me that day. >> it's like the t-shirt i remember wearing growing up playing softball, "throw like a girl doesn't mean what it used to." how do you feel like you inspire young girls to get out there and try things and something that's typically a man's world, whether it be on the baseball diamond or in the business world, even? >> absolutely. so many little girls will come up and run down to me and say, can i have a foul ball? can i have a foul ball? and what i tell them is, well, if you play college softball, you can become a ball girl. so, really try to get girls into sports and really be a part of the baseball world. >> we had some questions here in the studio the other day during a commercial break. we were all kind of chatting. how do you get to become a ball girl? how do you get to be an ambassador for your favorite team, whether it's minor league or even at the pro level? >> absolutely.

one of the requirements is that you have to play college softball, so you have to know the game and have to have some fielding skills. but kind of just go in and apply and do some interviews and really, you know, show that you really love being out there and loving the team and just really being an ambassador, not only for the red sox but for further on out in the open. >> have you gotten any calls from any pro teams that are kind of struggling this season and need a good third baseman? >> i've seen some of the comments, but no one's picked up the phone yet. still waiting. >> maybe the phillies will give you a call, my home team. >> you can say that because you're a hometown fan. >> we could use some help. >> lynn herman, thank you so much and congratulations, a couple great catches you had there. >> thanks, lynn. >> thanks for having me. coming up on the show, the president touts immigration reform on independence day, while one town takes to the streets to defend its borders. is the white house out of touch? governor huckabee joins us live next. and one veteran single-handedly saves his town's

fourth of july. how did he pull it off and how did it all go? we're going to be hearing from him, coming up. >> and there's more of lynn herman snagging some balls off the hot corner. >> go, girl!

"fox & friends" hour three starts right now. hi, it's suzanne somers and you're watching "fox & friends." i watch them every morning of my life! >> thank you so much. >> every morning! thank you, suzanne somers. i wanted to say hello to our

viewer, arthur, who came out and supported us during our summer concert series yesterday. do you like this? >> rain or shine. >> we love the fox of july, instead of the fourth of july. we have the best fans. >> nice handwriting, too. and wow, stitched together. >> even put an american flag on there. >> that's like real, that's like real fabric. pretty nice! >> good job. >> we have pretty great viewers. >> all right, folks, you know what? you can't rain on our parade. hurricane arthur fails to dampen fourth of july celebrations across the country, starting in the nation's capital. ♪ trumpets, cannons and a full orchestra helped celebrate the nation's birthday on the national mall. >> and in dallas, friends and family gathering at the cotton bowl. let's take a look at dallas for fair park tours. >> and in san francisco, fireworks lighting up the sky over fisherman's wharf in giear

deli square. >> and a gopro camera strapped to a drone giving us this incredible view inside the fireworks show. amazingly, it made it through unscathed. and folks, we're celebrating america all morning long. remember to keep sending us your proud american tweets at #proudamerican. >> we'll show some of your photos a little later in the show. there's the hashtag. all right, we've got to tell you about headlines this saturday morning. we'll start with this, $5 million up in smoke, and we're not talking about fireworks. a mansion in middlebury, connecticut, burning to the ground. flames shooting out of the roof as crews struggled to douse the 16-room home with water. 20 water tanks were brought in since there was no main water line on the property there. fortunately, no one was hurt. investigators say the fire was caused by insulation in the attic spontaneously combusting. a florida man's fourth of july lit up early when lightning struck. >> was standing here, and the

lightning just hit him, pop! and you see all the sparks, you know, like all the electric coming through him and he fell straight back and he slid into the water. >> robert santiago had to pull his brother-in-law from a canal after lightning knocked him off his feet. the two were just enjoying a fourth of july barbecue when it all happened. luckily, santiago's brother-in-law, michael, should be just fine. remember the firearms company known for its snarky political signs critical of the president? turns out, those signs put them in the sights of their local bank. according to tactical firearms, the bank threatened them with foreclosure, even though tactical firearms never missed any payments on their business loans. the argument was over consolidating a loan, but the two worked things out and now the company is expanding, announcing they plan to open a new ammo plant in the near future. and can you believe it? a town called liberty in kentucky was about to cancel its independence day parade for a "lack of interest." well, that's when army veteran

glen phillips sprung into action with an online campaign. his neighbors rallied behind him and the celebration, and it was bigger than glen could imagine. >> the response was overwhelming. there was folks calling me from across the nation, e-mailing, and even folks from across the country came to liberty. >> glen says he doesn't think liberty will have any trouble next year. all right, let's bring in governor mike huckabee this morning. he is down in florida celebrating the fourth of july weekend, independence day weekend. and governor, boy -- >> smart man. >> yeah, smart man down there in florida. governor, nice to see you this morning. >> good morning. >> well, let's head out to california, because during the fourth of july weekend, you know that tensions were -- didn't settle down while people were reacting out there in murrieta, california, where a group of illegal immigrants had to be flown in, then bussed into a

detention center there where they were being processed because texas couldn't handle it. so, supporters came out on both sides of this debate, fired up, those who don't want them in their hometown, say we can't handle it, and those who say let them in, we are america and compassionate. listen to both sides of this debate. >> it's not about race, it's about resources. murrieta does not have the resources to support this influx of people. >> they should have a chance just like everybody else, comes to america to have a chance, you know? they come for the american dream. and if we really want to live up to what we're saying, then we should accept them. >> i think we should put them on the bus and send them back. and i realize we can't put them back in mexico, but they're illegal. they're blareaking our laws. >> i don't blame them. they're victims of gang violence. i'm a mother of two children. if i was in the same situation, i would do anything for my children, and if that's the last resort, who could blame these moms? >> so, governor, your reaction to the reactions yesterday down there in murrieta, california? >> you know, my heart goes out

to these kids, it goes out to the mothers, it goes out to all of the fact that these are really some serious, challenging issues. but here's the thing i think that the president seems to be oblivious to. if i go to any country -- and i've been to 50 different countries or so -- i always have to show my passport. i can't just walk in and say, you know, i left my papers at home, i don't have a passport, i'm not going to tell you who i am, i'm not going to let you submit me to a medical exam to see if i'm carrying smallpox. no, i've got to go through that. and i think it's legitimate to be concerned. are these children bringing in diseases? are they going to be, you know, permanent here? are we going to be responsible for them? why are we sending money to their countries? why don't we say, okay, no more money to your country. we're taking that. and if we have to provide medical care and housing for these kids, until you come and get them or let us send them back on a military transport, then all the money that may have gone in aid, it's going in aid to your country, but to the people who are running our borders. the president is completely

disconnected from reality to think that, somehow, americans aren't upset, not because they're bigots, not because they're racist, but because they're barely feeding their own families right now. that's what upsets a lot of americans. >> california's had more immigration than any other state in recent decades. do you think it's made california a better state or a worse state? >> you know, i don't know that i could say that immigration has made california a worse state, but i'll tell you what has made california a worse state, the fact that they have raised taxes to a level that it's very difficult to earn a living if you're a working-class person. your income actually has gone down rather than gone up because you're paying more in taxes. the regulatory environment has chased businesses from california. and the fact that you have so many people who have been influx as immigrants, you've got to educate them. in many cases, they're being fed by the government, they're being given medical care by the government, and who's paying for that? all the working stiffs out there, and that's what i think

has people upset and rightfully so. there's just a limit. and when people say it's a humanitarian crisis, it is a humanitarian crisis, but the president's approach to fixing the immigration issue where people are running across the border is the equivalent of putting more water in the ninth ward in new orleans right after katrina. if you have more immigrants than you can handle, then the one thing you can't do is just say, open the flood gates, anybody can come, and we're not checking anything. and i think that's why americans are upset. >> and whatever type of crisis, whatever term you want to call it, don't you think the president would want to go down there and see exactly what's going on? and as far as we know, he's not vowing to go check out this crisis going on at the border. check out this speech that he made at a naturalization ceremony yesterday. >> we're going to have to fix our immigration system, which is broken, and pass common-sense immigration reform. we shouldn't be making it harder for the best and the brightest

to come here and create jobs here and grow our economy here. we should be making it easier. and that's why i'm going to keep doing -- he agrees with me. [ applause ] >> and he spent slamming republicans for blocking immigration reform when these are two separate issues, aren't they? seems like he would address what's going on at the border. what do you make of this? >> well, first of all, we need a commander in chief, not a fund-raiser in chief. he's going to texas next week. he's going to raise money for democrats. why doesn't he go ahead and go down to the border and see firsthand? we need a president right now, somebody who will lead the country rather than bleed the country, just pulling more money out of people's pockets so he can raise money for democrats who are oblivious to this issue on the border. let me just make one point. when he said we need to make sure that we get the best and brightest to immigrate -- look, that's fine. but let me ask you this, mr. president, what are you doing for the best and brightest of young americans who can't find a job after running up $100,000

debt in college because we've got people who, you know, can't get work in this country because we're so busy immigrating new people and doing stupid things in our economy, like making it impossible to start up a new company, that as a result, you've got college graduates who are flipping hamburgers, rather than going out and doing the innovative things that could grow america's economy. that's what i think a lot of americans are just utterly frustrated with, and they should be. >> let's get you to weigh in on what hillary clinton had to say this week, some raising the idea that she may have had the worst week in washington all week, her commentary about being dead broke when she left the white house. she wrote this week this. she says, "all of the fees that i make from speeches have been donated to the clinton foundation to continue its life-changing and life-saving work. so, it goes from a foundation at a university to another foundation." she makes $200,000 per speech, governor. was that a little too little, too late? what do you make of that?

>> well, look, if she can get $200,000 for a speech, good for her, you know? i'll come for half that, let me just go ahead and tell you right now. so, if anybody can't afford her, let me know, but i don't begrudge them the money. that's fine. but when you're making $100 million, you know, since you've left office, as she and her husband have, then the fact that she's going to give some speaking fees away, i'm glad for that, happy for her, but i don't think that that changes what she said and just the tone-deafness of saying, gosh, we were dead broke. we had only gotten a $10 million advance for one of the books and $8 million for the other. how can we ever pay the mortgage on our two homes? look, that shows a level of disconnect from the people who aren't worried about the mortgage on their two homes, they're worried about the fact, millions of americans that were foreclosed on on the only home they had and were left to be just scrambling for a place to live. and for people who are working and not getting ahead, that hurts. it hurts deeply. and i think it's going to come back to bite her right in the back side when she runs for

president, if she, in fact, does. >> so, the clintons, who i would argue are greedheads, made over 100 million bucks, as you said, in the last ten years. they gave 9% of that to charity, which seems pretty low. but does giving money to your own family foundation, which by the way, doesn't help anybody directly but sets up conferences so people can talk about helping other people, does that qualify as giving it to charity, if it's your pointless family foundation? >> well, i mean, it does raise some questions about is it really an independent gift. but look, i'm not going to begrudge her if she wants to give it away to a charitable foundation, even if it's her own. that's fine. i just think that the whole bigger issue is not how much money did she make, even what she's doing with it, but does she understand? has she really rubbed shoulders with people who don't have a driver, who don't have full-time security, who don't have full-time people taking care of their every need? and i think that's what a lot of americans really hope for, is that somebody maybe doesn't live

their life, but at least understands it. that's what people -- i think they just want to know, do you know people like me? do you rub shoulders with people like me? not do you give a few checks here and there, but do you know us? that's important. >> right. catch "the huckabee show" at 8:00 p.m. right here on the fox news channel every saturday evening at 8:00 p.m. governor huckabee, great to see you. enjoy the independence day weekend. >> and you, too. thanks. great to be with you guys. see you next week. >> thanks, governor. well, coming up, an iconic photo involved in a disastrous mistake. one company using the "challenger" disaster to celebrate the fourth of july. >> and every time we invite betsy mccoy on the show, we make her bring the health care bill, which i think she carries in her purse anyway. >> that's a big purse! >> those 2,000 pages are about to get a lot heavier. wait until you hear what they just added in a document dump last night. we've got it. >> perfect timing. ♪ [ female announcer ] there's a gap out there.

time and again, you've seen new york's former lieutenant governor betsy mccoy join us

here on "fox & friends" carrying all 2,472 pages of the obamacare bill, longer than the new testament. and if you thought that looked heavy, imagine what it will weigh with another 1,200 pages stacked on top, because while you were enjoying the holiday yesterday, that's how many regulations were added to the health care law. betsy is back this morning to explain what's inside. dare we ask? >> well, here it is. the first 600 pages are rules that doctors who take medicare have to know, or they won't get paid or they'll even get whacked with penalties. so, this is going to make it harder and harder for seniors to find a doctor willing to take medicare. plus, these rules are going to interfere in what your doctor can do for you. let me give you an example. a big chunk of this is the physician quality reporting system. >> let me say, thank you so much for reading this. you're the only one who has. you did it on independence day. i'm sorry to interrupt you, but just thank you. >> you're welcome. so, this physician quality

reporting system means that doctors have to report 18 numbers to the federal government for every senior they treat. and it's estimated that it can take as much as an hour and 48 minutes per patient, right? the regulators here say on average, it's going to take 5.4 million hours a year. that's time that the federal government is stealing from doctors, nurses and office personnel in offices all across this country, time that could be spent on patients. and it's going to interfere in what doctors can do for patients. say an elderly woman comes in with a fractured wrist or shingles, right? and her doctor notices that she's overweight. so, instead of just treating the big problem she came in with, that doctor's going to have to go over her diet and her plan to reduce her weight. otherwise, the doctor's going to get whacked with a penalty. never mind what the patient actually needs in that very short visit. >> it's also so intrusive. it's like asking you whether you have guns in your home.

it's like none of their business. >> right. >> so, this is more busy body stuff. >> okay, and what about the freedom? these rules are suffocating americans. every department of the federal government is coming up with rules like this all the time. and the fact this has happened on independence day? >> yes. >> well, let's talk about that, because in 1776, when we rebelled against that tyrant, george iii, and listed his crimes in the declaration of independence, one of them was that king george iii had imposed so many rules on the colonists and sent swarms of officers to enforce them. well, it's happening again. this president ought to be reading these proposed regulations instead of playing golf, and maybe he'd see how this is making life impossible for americans. >> you are such a good american to do that. thank you, betsy. >> you're welcome. >> thank you for coming on. and again, thank you for plowing through that. for the rest of us who are swirling beer at the backyard barbecue, you were burning the midnight oil reading what the actual regulations are.

a big game hunter called kendall jones, and there is a picture of her right there. she is standing atop the lion that she shot with a bow. she posted a bunch of pictures of herself. there she is with a rhino who apparently has been tranquilized, not killed. but again, she posted a bunch of big game hunting photographs like that on facebook. two things happened. one, facebook apparently deleted the pictures without her permission. and two, she roused the ayre of a woman called joanna kruper. >> a "housewives of miami" star and supermodel. she says on instagram "this "b," kendall jones, killed this beautiful creature so she could post a selfie. that lion is an endanger eed species, which breaks my heart, not to mention he had a family. i wish i could fly to africa and kick her [ expletive ] "a.""

whether or not you agree or not, you don't send death threats. maybe she's jealous about how beautiful this 19-year-old texas cheerleader is and maybe that has something to do with it. >> i hunt a lot. i love to hunt. i don't believe in shooting things you can't eat, so i do disapprove of this. on the other hand, if it weren't for hunters, you wouldn't have a lot of these species. they single-handedly maintain the conservation necessary for lions to survive in africa. you think that native populations are protecting the lion. no, they're not. they're protected because foreigners come in and pay hunting fees. that's just the truth. >> she has said she's done this all for conservation, that she goes over there and this is all to raise awareness about conservation, i guess, by killing elephants and then feeding villages, not entirely sure. we do know that, obviously, in this country when we have the deer populations that overrun the conservation efforts of those hunters that go out, and my brother who hunts regularly, of course, it helps control those populations and actually

helps sustain those populations in this country, but i'm also curious about the facebook angle of this, too. you hear the story about them manipulating news feeds this week and doing psychological tests on its users by putting good news in your news feed and bad news in your news feed and deleting pictures -- >> that's creepy! facebook doesn't agree with your pictures, so they take them off? by the way, if you're making a point about peace, love and tolerance, death threats not the way to do that. >> definitely not a good use of your celebrity -- >> by the way, if those are really death threats, which is the way this 19-year-old is taking them, that's communicating threats. that's a crime. >> when someone says i want to go to africa to shoot you, i think it's a death threat. >> something tells me someone's going to look into that. let us know what you think. weigh in on facebook, ffweekend there. just hope facebook doesn't delete your message. we have other headlines this saturday morning. we're learning more about the georgia dad accused of leaving his son to die in a hot car. can you believe this?

the new court document revealing justin ross harris has been discussing with family members how to collect on his son's $27,000 life insurance policy. it's also been revealed harris and his family are about $4,000 in credit card debt. harris has been charged with murder and could face the death penalty. some amazing video to show you of a helicopter cliff rescue in washington state. >> there is not much room, but get me down there and we'll see how this looks. >> the climber calling 911 after becoming stranded over 100 feet up with no climbing gear, and the fearless rescue crew, all volunteers, we're told, by the way, they're bringing their chopper dangerously close to the cliff face, within just ten feet. the climber is strapped in and hoisted up to safety. get this, convicted murderer joran van der sloot is now a married man. the prime suspect in the 2005 disappearance of u.s. teenager natalee holloway weds his pregnant girlfriend at a maximum security prison in peru.

van der sloot is serving a 28-year sentence there for murdering a woman in lima. the bride met van der sloot while working in the prison selling candy. folks, brian celebrated the fourth in centerville, ohio. this small town hosts the largest independence day celebration in the state. brian took an opportunity to sign copies of "george washington secret six" and tells us why he is proud to be an american. >> on the fourth of july, let's use this moment to take stock at birthday 238, how lucky we are to hit lotto and be born in america and still appreciate what we've got and what we don't have. >> seeing him give speeches live, that man can talk! more than 75,000 people attended the event. i'm sure he rallied them and made them feel very patriotic. >> he's a great guy. >> yeah. here's another great american, janice dean. she's not -- are you? >> yes, i am proud to be american. i'm a dual citizen. i was born in canada, my father

was american, so, i am a dual citizen. i am proud to live in the usa. and we have proud americans here today, don't we? where are you from? >> connecticut. >> and you are? >> connecticut. >> what's your name? >> joanna. >> pennsylvania. >> what's your name? >> michelle. >> okay. >> texas. >> and happy anniversary to these two. what's your name? >> nicole. >> philip. >> have you enjoyed new york city? >> a lot. >> did you see the fireworks? >> yes. >> how long are you here? >> until today. >> what do you think of this new york weather, dallas folks? >> awesome. >> it's interesting. >> okay, one more thing i want to do. i haven't done this yet. remember, you guys, the wave? remember do the wave? can we do that here right now? okay, we're going to start with you, ready? one, two, three, go! >> whoo! >> oh, my gosh, i'm bringing back the wave on "fox & friends weekend." let's take a quick look at your weather. it is a gorgeous day across the northeast. we did have a hurricane yesterday, but that is almost clearing the coast. we had a category 2 hurricane, the strongest hurricane we have had since 2008. and to see a hurricane in july,

that's pretty rare. look at some of these wind gusts, over 100 miles per hour in cape lookout. today looks much better across the northeast. so, you can get in your outdoor barbecues today. across the southeast, not bad. scattered showers across florida and looking for the potential for maybe severe weather over the upper midwest and northern plains, so i'll keep an eye on that. very nicely done, proud americans! all right, anna, back to you. >> proud americans here. forget "dancing with the stars," this is kensicance dancing with! the folks at fred astaire's dancing studios is offering a home to our wounded warriors and they hope to raise more than $500,000 for the fisher house, an organization supporting our veterans. here to tell us about it, kim from fred astaire dance studios, retired master sergeant tom flowers, and from the fisher house, sergeant first class michael siconis, one of the dancing heroes. we have five lovely couples behind us dancing. i love it!

tom, i'm going to start with you. tell me about the fisher house and how you guys got involved in doing this. i mean, this is better than "dancing with the stars," i'd say. >> well, i got involved with the fisher house having visited one six years ago, so i know what they did. the fisher house is a comfort house, a home away from home for our military personnel. a place where they can stay free of charge for as long as they need to while they're the military person or veteran. going through a recent medical crisis. >> your reach is unbelievable. 22,000 families of wounded soldiers who have been helped. so, you can understand why $500,000 is something that is so important. kim, how do you think these warriors are doing here? >> they're doing a great job, and they just started. we started around memorial day. we're from fred astaire dance studios in new england, so they are in one of our dance studios in connecticut, mass or rhode island. they're going to be working on

their dancing through to september 13th, the big event, and they're doing a great job. >> just getting warmed up. >> they are just getting warmed up. and they're dancing with our fred astaire instructors, all paired up a veteran with an instructor and in those studios working hard to get their dancing just right for the competition. >> it's ballroom dancing and it's also latin dancing. they're covering the gamete there. and want to talk to you about how you got involved in all this. >> i t was actually two years ago in july. i was actually shot and hit by a suicide bomber in afghanistan, woke up at walter reed, my wife pregnant at the time. spent a lot of time at the fisher house while i was recovering. >> well, i know they help you out a lot, and this is going to be helping so many people. we hope that it does. even surpasses that. i'm going to ask you to dance as we go to break, but first, let me tell the folks at home what's

coming up. from the immigration border, what affects immigration. the stories the mainstream media does not want you to see. and talk about a soccer celebration, photo bombs, but now it's time to dance! when folks think about what they get from alaska, they think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence. it's one more part of our commitment to america.

44 minutes now past the hour, no, 45 minutes past the hour. quick headlines for you. red, white and boo. the july 4th, stealing american flags from seven brooklyn homes. residents are upset, as you can imagine, some comparing it to a hate crime. one woman can't believe the flag she places on her father's grave every year is gone. he's a world war ii veteran. cops haven't made anyts just yet. well, colombia soccer star james rodriguez scored the only goal for his team against brazil. it was a penalty shot that set up a tense finish, but it left some bugging out. giant grasshopper leapt on to rodriguez as he makes the goal. brazil went on to beat colombia 2-1 to reach the world cup

semifinals. anna? >> clayton, thanks. it's a documentary that takes us from the southern border to washington, d.c., all in the name of truth. >> i film the truth. >> they're brain-washed! >> you're fighting veterans! why are you fighting us? >> it doesn't make sense. >> this is absolutely the worst it's been in 23 years. >> and it breaks your heart. >> help me, son. >> unemployment, scandals, americans left to die, and the media ignores it all. >> i think america is not only broken, but what more bothers me is that not enough people want to fix it. >> we need a spark. >> well, dennis michael lynch is a documentary filmmaker and producer of "we ride to d.c." and joins us now. thanks for joining us. >> thanks for having me. >> you know, i saw the gentleman in your clip there. he said, you know, not enough people want to fix it, but there's also another problem, not enough people know about it. you say it's because the mainstream media is refusing to cover several stories, whether

it's certain angles of obamacare, benghazi, iraq, now immigration coming to a head. what will we find in your documentary? >> my first two films, "they come to america," i focused on immigration and the causes of it. they had a huge impact in stopping the senate immigration bill last year from getting through the house and i know this because people in congress and immigration groups in d.c. said they've received tens of thousands of phone calls from people saying i watched this film, you can't pass that bill. that said, this film is more important than those were, because what americans aren't getting, unless they're watching fox, they're not getting the truth. they're getting a distortion about the facts of what's taking place. and i show the visual to the american people in a way that you've never seen before. so, what will happen with this film is two things. number one, you give it to anybody, depending on what's the party they're in, doesn't matter, republican, democrat. they watch it, they're going to say i'm being lied to by the mainstream media. number two is the way we did the film in showing those visuals is

that we went to these different marches and rallies you would have seen there on the clip, it gives you hope that people are out there doing what you need to do in order to get the country back on track. i'm always asked, why don't i put my films in theaters? i don't, i do dvd share programs. the reason being is that i'm not so keen on these people watching coming in and seeing it. i want other people who wouldn't go to the theaters. so, i have a dvd share program. if you go to weridetodc.com, and you get a dvd, i send you extras free. i've been doing it here on fox for years, and people share them out and they get the truth. >> what about people who say that documentaries all have an angle, they all have something they're trying to push, whether you're michael moore or dennis michael lynch? what do you say? >> yes, i'm trying to push the truth. and in the same way that the immigration bill was stopped, not because we don't love immigrants, it's because what was in that bill was terrible. this has nothing to do with anything but sharing the truth. and i do believe that when people watch the film, they may

not admit it, but once they watch it, they'll start thinking differently, not only how they get their news but how they vote in 2014, because right now the country has fallen off a cliff, anna. and what we need is a whole new shift of leaders. >> and you say you have plenty of copies on your website. what's that? >> weridetodc.com, they get the dvd, i send them the extras, and it's a way that they can participate. >> thanks for sharing your story. >> thanks, anna. 49 minutes after the hour. up next on "fox & friends weekend," a candidate has her face painted white on a campaign sign because she is a black republican. so much for the tolerant left. that candidate joins us live. then, to buy or not to buy, that is the question this morning. stay tuned for the products that you can get the best deals on right here, right now, and the ones you may want to hold off on until later. ♪ you don't really love me, you just keep me hanging on ♪ [ male announcer ] this is the age of knowing what you're made of. why let erectile

good morning, it's saturday the 5th of july, 2014, i'm anna kooiman. this is "fox and friends." america not letting a little rain from the hurricane to dampen the celebration for its 238th birthday. ♪ >> cities from sea to shining sea celebrated our independence. tempers flare as the feds dump another plane load of illegal immigrants on another tight-knit community in california. president obama has taken a side in this debate.

take a guess which one? we've been asking you to send us your photos showing us what makes you proud to be an american. and this one got a lot of attention. you'll meet this little patriot and the rest of his family this hour. keep sending in your photos. "fox and friends" hour four starts now i know. i just checked the clock. welcome to "fox and friends" that is some awesome hair. look at that hair. >> check this out. >> get that shot. >> holy smokes. >> that is patriotic hair. >> use the hash tag proud american if your hair is more patriotic than that, i would like to see it. >> i saw flag pants yesterday.

not just yesterday or today. keep sending in those pictures. we'll share more of those. put the hash tag proud american. >> here is the tale of two cities. yesterday indians day there was a protest over immigration and statement about it in another. marietta, california, a state that received more immigration than any in the country. residents there are protesting and counterprotesting the arrival of immigrants who are bussed and flown in from texas after crossing over the border there. in washington, the president responded. >> yesterday, tempers were flaring outside. people from both sides of this debate flooding into this town to stop the next round of buses tacked with illegal immigrants which had been flown in texas. authorities had to separate them. >> it's not about race, it's about resources. marietta does not have the

resources to support this influx of people. >> they should have a chance like everybody else who comes to america to have a chance. they come for the american dream. we should accept them. >> we should put them on the bus and send them back. they're illegal. they are breaking our laws. >> i don't blame them. they are all victims of gang violence. i'm the mother of two children. if i was in the same situation, i would do anything for my children. if that's the last resort, who can blame these moms. >> tensions really hitting in california. the town hall meeting with hundreds packed in complaining about what was going on there. five people got arrested yesterday. federal officials say they are not going to be staying where these illegal immigrants will be bussed in. the yesterday was in a naturalization ceremony. he has a different take on what's going on with immigration. listen to this. >> we have to fix our

immigration system which is broken and pass common sense immigration reform. we shouldn't be making it harder for the best and brightest to come here and grow our economy here. we should be making it easier. that's why i'm going to keep doing -- he agrees with me. >> ignore the crisis that's going on at the border and talk about a different angle of immigration which is what the president was doing. we heard the special report last night that says this shows how out of touch the president is. >> he's in the richest city in the world, washington, d.c., in the most impregnable fortress in the history of man the white house. contrast that with marietta, california, the epicenter of the subprime meltdown, a struggling count why i in a state that has become poor and chaotic as a result of immigration. anybody who advocates unrestricted low-skilled immigration has to explain what's happened in california in the past 40 years. has the state become better or become worse? by every measure, it's become much worse.

that is not one man's opinion. there is a metric that proves it. what is the explanation for that? if it's such a great thing for america, how do you explain california? >> how could you explain what the president may do which is skirt congress. we keep hearing him blame congress. republicans need to pass comprehensive immigration reform. will the president take executive privilege and make this a refugee situation? declare it a refugee catastrophe making all these individuals refugees, skirting congress, allowing them to stay here under amnesty. one insider at one of these refugee camps said it's a tsunami of people. i don't know what we can do to make it stop. it's more serious than people realize. it's a mass migration of people. to move central america to the united states is not the answer. it's a serious problem. someone in washington needs to wake up. >> one of the issues, of course, is this notion if they come here, if these children come here, they would be given amnesty.

they've been hearing this. it's been common talk down there in honduras, el salvador and guatemala. the notion they arrive over our borders, the kids get slips that allow them to stay here illegally. that policy which congress passed, the president approved ended 1 1/2 years ago. yet they still get an asylum here. >> by law. the idea is you get here, you claim more peril in your home country, you have a legal right to be taken care of at taxpayer expense and a hearing to get asylum. historically, 50% do get asylum. when you hear the president say we are going to send the president back, no, they are not going back. it's a lie to claim they are going back because it's not. >> you said they are going to turn into democratic voters. >> the whole point is you don't like the results, import your voters and you have. >> state law makers are very

upset saying it's dangerous in more ways than one. >> you see what's happening. you see basically we have, and i'm not calling them refugees, but they are like refugee camps. this was totally predictable. this administration knew what they were doing throws the doors open, getting word to central and south america. now they are doing it on their own. they say, hey, they are not sending anybody back. come on. >> it could have been predicted well in advance. we know from these drug cartels, they are basically using ransom money. they are sending these people here and forcing the united states to try to send money back to them. that's the only way we'll allow you to send our folks back to us. >> americans are super face and they want to help. a lot of these people are fleeing real poverty and chaos and violence. most of the world is in poverty and chaos and violence. somebody has to ask the basic

question, does the u.s. have a moral obligation to accept anybody who wants to come here and pay for it? most americans would say, no, that is crazy. >> fox and friends viewers are responding to this immigration debate. >> phones are ringing off the hook. >> if u.s. citizens ignored tax laws and refused to pay taxes, can we call that tax reform? >> i do feel sorry for the immigrant children but america can't let our country strangle us to death with our heart strings. >> e-mail from tennessee says, there's a limit on a lifeboat to keep the boat from sinking. there is a limit how many legal dependents american take before the whole country goes down. >> we have a fox news alert we want to tell you about. four children killed overnight in a factory fire in philadelphia. the flames engulfing eight

homes. >> tragic, tragic day for the city of philadelphia. we lost four children today. >> more than 40 people are now hopeless. no word yet on how it started. a florida man's fourth of july lit up early when lightning struck. >> the lightning went pop and you see all the sparks and electric coming through him and he fell straight back and slid into the water. >> robert had to pull his brother-in-law from a canal after lightning knocked him off his feet. luckily his brother-in-law michael should be just fine. former secretary of state hillary clinton now saying she donates all the money she makes from college speaking fees to her family's foundation. she makes $200,000 per speech. she recently came under fire saying her family was dead broke when they left the white house. governor mike huckabee said this earlier on "fox and friends."

>> i don't begrudge them the money, that's fine. when you've made $100 million, the fact she is going to give speaking fees away, i'm glad for that, happy for her, but i don't think that changes what she said and just the tone deafness saying, gosh, we were dead broke. we had only gotten a $10 million advance for one of the books and $8 million for the other. how can we pay the mortgage on our two homes? >> governor huckabee says the move shows a level of disconnect from regular americans. watch the screen. we are going to talk about this ufo. a ufo sighting in chile? the government there releasing these pictures showing what they believe to be an unidentified flying object. it was spotted by mine workers saying it was silent, flying low and slow over the area for more than an hour. the chilean officials say it's not ours and the aeronautical

society said we didn't have planes in the sky. it was a beautiful, sun why i day. what do you think, ufo? >> yes. >> absolutely. >> who had the phone? e.t. phone home. >> we are ready to believe you. janice dean is standing by. >> clear skies. >> someone said weather balloon, right? how would you describe the weather in new york today? >> fantastic. >> i think that is very good. one more thing, anniversary today, birthdays? >> anniversary and birthday. >> happy birthday, my wonderful husband. happy anniversary. >> fabulous. beautiful day in new york city. quick look at the temperatures and toss it back in northeast, gorgeous. 67, no humidity in the northeast. 67 in chicago, 70 in minneapolis. going to be warm across the southern plains. then we are saying good-bye thankfully to this hurricane. that would be hurricane arthur just bringing remnant showers

welcome back. florida republican congressional candidate says she was the target of a racial attack. she tweeted the picture on the right of your screen last week showing her vandalized campaign sign, her face covered in white spray paint. miss smith thank you for joining us. >> you're welcome. >> tell us the facts of this?

>> i put the sign up a week prior to going out and finding on a tuesday that the sign had been knocked down. we assumed the wind had blown the sign down. when he went back to investigate to put the sign back up, we noticed that the face was painted white. he took a picture and text it to me. that's when we realized the sign had been vandalized. >> you are running in the republican primary in the fifth district in florida. >> right. >> have you -- you're a black republican, obviously, has that been a source of criticism? have people gone after you for that? >> it's usually mentioned. we try to focus on our campaign and that it's not about race. you are naturally going to get from some african-americans, the uncle tom counterideology that i can't be a black conservative. when that happens, we kind of ignore it and talk about the real issues that are facing our district. >> i agree with everything you

just said. on the other hand, that's got to sting though. >> it does. it's hurtful, but it's something that makes me stronger. people are going to criticize me no matter what i do. i use that as an opportunity to say, one, i'm on the right track. i must be doing something right. to push me along to make sure i stay focused and do what i need to be doing. that is trying to represent the constituents in the fifth district. >> who do you think did this to your sign? >> i have no idea. honestly, that's not important. that sign doesn't depict who i am or tell who i am. they can find more about me on our website glosmith.com. i have 30 years of public service. i served at the pleasure of the governor and lieutenant governor prior to running full time for the seat. i tell people to stay focused on the facts. find out about me, learn about why i'm running and jump onboard. not only do i want to make a difference in the district, but make a difference in our country. judge, what advice would you give to the republican party trying to figure out how to

expand its appeal? >> from personal experience i would say to the national party, get involved early. regardless of there being a primary or not. don't wait until after the primary to support your candidates. we need help right away. the national party had a great opportunity to get behind two great minority candidates during this primary. because of their waiting until after the primary, i think it's harmful in a way, but we find ways around that. >> meaning just appealing directly to voters? >> exactly. going door-to-door. we are talking to people, listening to people. they are waiting for a change. they understand our district has not benefited under the current representation. they are willing and ready for a change. that's what we hear overwhelmingly. that's encouraging. >> interesting. good luck. appreciate you coming on this morning. >> thank you so much, tucker. multimillion dollar mansion up in flames. how did this happen? the cause, bizarre.

one school district banning valedictorians because it's mean. really? the valedictorian from that school is furious and fighting back. she joins us live in a minute.

hey, everybody, 23 minutes after the hour this saturday morning. quick headlines. 5 million up in smoke. a mansion in middlebury, connecticut, burned down to the ground. fortunately no one was hurt. investigators say the fire was

caused by foam insulation in the attic spontaneously combusting. the irs may find it harder to pay for things like this now. >> i'm afraid that skilled leaders can't argue spreading across the planet like a virus. >> house republicans expect to cut the agency's operating budget by $341 million. the irs being singled out for the targeting of the tea party groups and wasteful spending like $60,000 spent on a tar trek parity video. chances are your high school's graduating class had a valedictorian. for more than 99% of you that valedictorian was not you. one superintendent says that's not fair. he announced a plan to eliminate that title throughout his entire school district. it might happen in florida where courtney graduated in 2007 at the top of her class as

valedictorian. nice to see you this morning. >> great. nice to see you, too. >> when you heard about this about to happen in your former school district, what was your response? >> i was shocked to hear they would take away these titles because the titles are more than just labels. they are sources of pride, ambition and financial outlets. >> how so? kids work towards these goals, right? >> right. it's an arduous task. you put in long hours, a lot of study and effort and feel you should be rewarded for that. >> it can pay off later down the line. college looks at it. >> absolutely. >> the school district disagrees with you. the superintendent browning says it's time for a change there. he says, too many students are focused on it. >> yeah, that's correct. he did say that. i don't think that's such a bad thing to focus on academics. >> he also argues that the school district in general has

some issues that times have changed. different when you were there in 2007. we have virtual students now, they are on different schedules and basically they are arguing they are on different schedules and dual enrollment, calculating a valedictorian doesn't work any more. do you agree or disagree? >> i disagree. what is involved in dual enrollment classes and i retained the title. i don't know how it's more troubling to calculate a gpa for a valedictorian today than it was back then. >> i don't know how much different it is now. what he is saying is other people feel left out. if there is a valedictorian in the class, your friends may feel left out. we should all feel included in this environment. we should all be winners. were your friends left out when you won valedictorian? did they stop talking to you? >> no. they didn't stop talking to me. that is a very important aspect in life learning you can't

always get what you want, and that prepares you for the real world where you'll experience success and failure. >> your parents still live in that district. what is their response? >> they are angered and troubled by it, as well. they don't think it's a good thing. it takes away the motivation to achieve to the highest of your ability. >> courtney, valedictorian back in 2007, thank you for joining us. we love to hear from our viewers. write and let us know, white washing our academic standards. do you think we should get rid of valedictorian in these titles because it lets people out of the process. courtney, thank you so much and congratulations being a valedictorian. i was never even close. >> thank you for having me. remember when the white house blamed a video for the benghazi attack? this morning a video discounting that claim. what makes you proud to be an american?

miami, d.c., las vegas round out the top. a shocking report finds 58% of nearly 430 colleges and universities nationwide restrict speech. that thing that is protected by the first amendment. the foundation of individual rights is fighting to change that. lawsuits have been filed across four states against universities and colleges restricting speech. the president of the foundation for individual rights and foundation joins we now. thanks for coming on. it is amazing of all places that

colleges would restrict speech. it's well known but still stunning. let's go through a couple suits you are involved in. citrus college. >> citrus college is an amazing case. first of all, citrus college had a tiny free speech zone that limited free speech activities to only around 1% of the entire campus. even to use that, you had to get, i think something like two weeks advance notice just to use the ridiculously small free speech zone. what makes this worse, they got sued back in 2003, agreed to a settlement giving up their free speech zone, then on constitution day, 2013, they were enforcing it against a student who wanted to protest the nsa. >> the fact they call themselves liberal when they are fascist is distressing to me. iowa state university. >> iowa state university is a pretty interesting case. they are working with the

national organization for reform of marijuana laws who wanted to put a pot leaf on a t-shirt. understand, formal's entire point for existing is to legalize marijuana. they are with saying you can't have a pot leaf on a t-shirt because that promotes drug use. you do know this is normal, right? >> the whole point. right. chicago state university. what's happening there? >> chicago state university is an amazing case. we need investigative journalists looking into that one because it's deep. it's a case where a professor ran a blog where he talked about way saw as corruption on campus. they tried multiple different ways to get that blog shut down. >> so the school tried to squelch reporting on its own alleged corruption. >> exactly. honestly, that's the case i feel needs probably the most coverage of all. >> they tried to crush a whittle blower. if this were any place other than cloistered and protected environs of academia, which is a

medieval church, any other place, the law would be involved. ohio university. >> involves an incredible group called students defending students. their entire point is to help defend their fellow students in disciplinary cases. they tried to put a slogan on a t-shirt and told they couldn't. the main thing about all these codes is our goal is tole change the speech codes that empower this kind of ridiculous politically correct behavior. >> since do you this for a living and think about this a lot, what ties these together? what is there about the academic world makes administrators want to crush free speech when the whole point of having college is to encourage free speech. why are they opposed to free speech? >> i think that is a deep issue. i'm actually working on about an 8,000 word article called "freedom from speech." what i'm afraid that's happening

on campus after campus, they are teaching students to not just not believe in freedom of speech, but expect to be expected from it. administrators want to be protected from dissent, points of view they dislike. >> it's so interesting the paradox, the slogans on the barn that get repainted, like in animal farm. it's remarkable. thank you for coming on. send me your essay. i want to read that. >> absolutely. all week we've been asking you to send your photos which show what makes you proud to be an american. meet this little patriot and the rest of his family next. quiet! mom has a headache! had a headache! but now, i& don't. excedrin is fast. in fact for some, relief starts in just 15 minutes. excedrin. headache. gone. i'm saving a ton of time by posting them to my wall.
