>> i don't want to! [crying] >> the little girl and her kid brother having two very different reactions to a disney world surprise. he does not want to go. no. but they'll have fun. >> "fox & friends" starts now. >> good morning. today is wednesday, the 9th of july 2014. i'm anna kooiman in for elisabeth hasselbeck. we begin with a fox news alert. today is the day president obama heads to texas to meet with governor rick perry, but is this anything more than a photo op? why won't president obama go to the border? >> good question, anna. harry reid's anger over the hobby lobby ruling last week making him colorblind? >> the one thing we're going to do during this work period, sooner rather than later, is to ensure that women's lives are not determined by virtue of white men.

>> okay, five white men. since when is justice clarence thomas one of the five white men, harry? >> that's an explosive story. why is my 4th of july assignment going viral? >> the best town ever, the best school system, the best everything. it's the perfect town. >> we were in cleveland but we moved back just a month ago. >> that person in the middle. what is wrong with me? meet the real star of centerville, ohio. mornings are better with friends. >> this is roy rogers jr. you're watching "fox & friends." >> thank you very much. >> they did steal some of our hash tag proud american sunglasses. >> hold on a second. germany scored again. 190-0.

what the heck happened? my goodness. a nation mourns. not ours. >> we're talking about the world cup obviously. this morning we need to get to a fox news alert. an immigration somehowdown expected. president obama meeting with governor rick perry one day after asking for billions to deal with the crisis. but will it help? pea tear doocy live -- peter doocy live in washington. >> the u.s.-mexico border is not going to be getting a visit from president obama during his trip to texas. governor rick perry says he's willing to show the president how bad things are down there as unaccompanied children continue surging into the country from the south, but he doesn't think this visitor from the white house is serious about a solution. >> if the president of the united states is really serious about securing that border, we can show him how to do that. i haven't had a phone call from this president. >> valerie jarrett ended up sending perry a letter asking if he wanted to be part of a round table discussion with the president and local leaders to talk about the immigration crisis, and

perry accepted. although the fact that the letter came from jarrett and not from the oval office raised some eyebrows in the briefing room. >> well, as you know, valerie spent a lot of time maintaining our relationships here in the white house with governors across the country. >> the president has sent a letter to congress asking for $3.7 billion in aid for the border crisis. here's the break dowp. about $1.8 billion for h.h.s. to house and take care of unaccompanied kids. $1.1 billion for homeland security to step up enforcement and deter border crossings. $64 million would help the justice department hire new immigration judges. the state department and border control are also in line to potentially get hundreds of millions for security. that is if congress ok's the president's request. >> also in addition to all of that money, there's going to be $615 million in emergency wildfire suppression. that's part of this deal.

what's interesting -- >> wait for a lot of stuff to come cascading in this deal. >> look at the stuff peter detailed. new detention facilities, overtime for border patrol agents, more judges. where's the money to stop people from coming in? that's the problem. we need a secure border. one side says we need it. the other side says we have it. but you've got eight-year olds just walking across. we need a secure border. otherwise this 50,000 could become 5 million. >> in 2008 they passed this law focused on human trafficking. senator dianne feinstein leads the charge. it says when these kids come in let's give them pro bono legal advice because a lot of them are trying to get away from sex traffickers. at that time it was estimated 7,000 kids were crossing. now about 50,000 kids are crossing. this clearly is a crisis. everyone is saying i need -- well, i need the congress to give me the freedom to override this

law. senator feinstein says no, you don't. this is a crisis. that was built into the law. you can do whatever you want. what happened to his pen and his phone? suddenly he's sitting on his hands. >> he's in a political rock and a hard place between the two. now he's saying i need congress. this is congress's fault. this isn't my fault. even though that 2008 law you mentioned, he could with a stroke of the pen make a change. texas congressman henry cuellar was on last night. he said this is such a big problem and something we have seen coming for a long time. listen. >> by the way, this didn't happen last week. they had notice about this. the white house had notice about this for at least aier because there was a c.p.b. report that came out on this. therefore, i still feel that the leader, in this case the president, should go down there, get on air force one. he's in texas. it shouldn't be that long. i know texas is big. >> he's a democrat, by the way. he's going to be joining us

at 7:15 this morning to talk to brian about the situation right there. he's one of the guys who compared this to president bush's katrina. said hopes it doesn't become his katrina moment. joe goldberg was on special report last night and said he didn't like the parallel between bush's problem and obama's problem because they just aren't a perfect fit. listen to this. >> no one thought that george w. bush's policies led to hurricane katrina. it was a hurricane. the crisis on the border is a direct result of the president's policies and decision. and so in some ways this is worse than katrina as a policy matter because this is something they created. i think the reason why barack obama doesn't want to go down to the border is he doesn't want to sort of presidentialize this controversy, give people the photo op to make it seem as if they can

associate him with the policies. but i think that ship has largely sailed. >> also there's another difference. local lawmakers in louisiana during katrina weren't asking for help until the crisis was overwhelming. here these people, democrats and republicans, have been begging for help at the border and have not been able to get it. >> during that same round table, charles krauthammer said either the president doesn't know what to do or he's fine with what's going on and the only reason for asking for $4 billion is to absorb these people and he's okay with what's going on at the border. take a listen to what the president was saying in 2011. remember his stance on immigration then? >> i've got to say i suspect there are still going to be some who are trying to move the goal post on us one more time. you know, they said we needed to triple the border patrol. now they're going to say we need to quadruple the border patrol. they'll want a higher

fence. maybe they'll need a mote. maybe they'll want alligators in the mote. they'll never be satisfied. and i understand, that's politics. >> okay, that's politics. people on the political right said to the president you've got to secure the borders so that we can control who comes in, and the president said i'll triple the number of border patrol, i'll quadruple it. see, i did it. the problem for us right now is the fact that if they did up all the number of people who were on our southern border, what are they doing today? they are baby sitting. we've heard reports that say seven out of ten of the border patrol agents are not at the actual border because they've got this humanitarian crisis. they're helping people who are in those facilities. >> not close to enough agents. they're not allowed to work overtime. they are also told not to talk to the press. there's also people in the

press who go to visit these refugee centers. they're told they can't take any pictures, can't tape anything, can't record anything. there's suppression going on. people are afraid of losing their jobs. i got a message on my voice mail. i can't give you my name but it is so much worse than being reported and it is being reported as a huge crisis. >> there are reports too that these cartels are using these immigrants as a bait and switch. you guys run across the border. border patrol will be watching you and then we'll run across the border and take our crime with us. >> let's talk about a big story last week. it was a major victory for religious freedom last week when the hobby lobby case was decided 5-4 in favor of the hobby lobby corporation. coming up, it sounds like democrats in the u.s. senate are going to try to come up with a new bill to weaken religious freedom and instead what it would do is it would prohibit employers from refusing to cover any type of health care covered by federal law including contraception.

that was what hobby lobby was all about. harry reid, though, looking back at the hobby lobby ruling, i don't know what his problem is but listen to this sound bite and see if you can spot it. >> this hobby lobby decision is outrageous. and we're going to do something about it. the one thing we're going to do during this work period, sooner rather than later, is to ensure that women's lives are not determined by virtue of five white men. >> right. there's a little bit of a problem. because i'm looking at that picture, and i don't see five white men. >> clarence thomas obviously an african-american male. so he was off by 20%. >> right. he also -- very interesting that now we're in a period in our history where all these -- the judicial branch is being attacked, much like we're used to seeing the president and the congress battle. now every decision is being ridiculed and mocked.

>> liberals are so upset about this decision that they're acting like frustrated toddlers throwing tantrums. it's like the national organization of women yesterday calling the little sisters of the poor part of the dirty 100 and all these other catholic charitable groups. like anybody who disagrees with them, throw any argument at the wall and wait until it sticks and hope people will agree with you on it. >> come on, everybody. take a breath. can't we all get along? >> no. heather nauert, how are you? >> good morning. we've got quite a story out of washington. a late-night hearing, and listen to what happened there. four v.a. whistle-blowers testifying in front of congress, all of them detailing the retaliation that they suffered for reporting failures within the v.a. system. doctors were fired simply for speaking up about internal problems at the agency. some of them saying that they were even publicly ridiculed. listen to this. >> at that party, this slide was shown in front of close to 300 individuals i

was labeled a rat. i was labeled the person who ratted out this person. >> that is a doctor right there, and he said that he told his bosses about all of the problems there, and that those bosses still have their jobs today. today marks his 101st day behind bars, but in just a few hours marine sergeant andrew tahmooressi will finally get his day in court. a judge will hear directly from the 26-year-old for the very first time. tahmooressi has been in jail since march when he accidentally crossed into mexico with three legal weapons. while you were sleeping, deadly storms ripping through the northeast leaving five people dead this morning. the victims include a mother and her daughter. their home collapsed near syracuse, new york. you can see this right here. then tragedy striking a summer camp in maryland. a boy there was killed by falling tree branches. then all the way out in colorado, a bolt of

lightning nearly hitting this guy who was trying to film the storm -- check this out. fortunately that guy is okay. how frightening that would be. we've got a busy news morning. those are your headlines. see you back here in about 25 minutes. >> that was a big storm. it was a howeller. >> 13 minutes after the hour. coming up, rosie o'donnell's outrageous comments made her one of the most controversial hosts on television. >> do you believe our troops are -- >> i don't think -- >> do you believe, yes or no? >> excuse me. let me speak. >> you're going to doublespeak. yes or no. >> i am not a doublespeaker. >> now she's heading back to "the view." not elisabeth. rosie. >> never underestimate a dog who just wants out. his great escape caught on camera, and you've got to see what happened next.

member of a group assembled by speaker john boehner to address the border crisis. he says he's got a plan. he joins us from our bureau. good morning. this 2008 bill which was passed by an overwhelmingly democratic congress and signed by president bush back in the day, it was designed for victims of sex trafficking. we would take care of any kids who were from countries, not mexico and canada. fast forward to today, we've got these kids from honduras, guatamala, el salvador, places like that. what do you want to do with them? >> basically treat central america exactly the same as we treat canada and mexico when it comes to these unaccompanied minors. give our customs and border patrol agents the authority to repatriate them immediately back to their countries. if we don't do that, the waves are going to keep coming and more children are going to be exploited by these cartels that are raping the children,

selling them into prostitution, kill them in the desert. we've got to fix this thing immediately and make sure these children are not continuing to be exploited. >> it is a 2008 bill and now people on the political left saying blame george bush, he signed the bill. why didn't we have the surge of people in 2008? it's because of the relaxation and this dreamers act -- the dreamers executive order that the president signed. unfortunately, even though the bill was supposed to help kids who were victims of sex trafficking, a lot of these kids are getting, as you pointed out, raped and killed along the way between the united states and their homeland. >> our policies right now are anything but compassionate. it is not helping these children. the best deterrent that we can possibly provide is to immediately return them to their countries. the parents of these children or families of these children are selling everything they own to pay $5,000 to $8,000 a piece to these children to the cartels and coyotes to

smuggle their children across the border. it is not a smart policy. it is not a compassionate policy. if we want to stop it, we need to send a clear message not just through our rhetoric but through our actions, and that is to get those children back to their country and unite them with their families in their country as quickly as possible. >> one of the problems is the fact that on our southern border there is nobody there right now. the border patrol baby-sitting. >> i've been to two of these centers already, one arizona three weeks ago and texas last week where we had a field hearing on this issue. you're right, the border patrol agents are being taken off the border to baby-sit these children. it's not smart policy. >> real quickly, i know you got the votes from republicans. how about democrats? >> well, the president himself on june 30 asked for us to change this law, so i'm hopeful that common sense will prevail and truly looking out for the

needs of these children and our country at the same time overcomes everybody and they do the right thing. >> i think that's funny that you're talking about common sense and washington, d.c. in the same sentence. good luck. >> oxymoron. >> congressman matt salmon, republican from arizona. thank you very much. coming up costco gave a conservative book the boot. but there's a big update this morning on the dinesh d'souza's book "america." you're going to want to stand by for that. the so-called tolerant left comparing a conservative mom to a terrorist. look at that. even hurling attacks at her baby. this mom now speaking out for the first time in her first live tv interview. you'll see it only here on "fox & friends." ♪ ♪ vo: this is the summer. the summer that summers from here on will be compared to. so get out there, and get the best price guaranteed. find it for less and we'll match it

shirt while holding a chick-fil-a cup. >> when she posted this, holding a bible and a gun in front of the american flag, left wing bloggers went crazy even going so far as comparing her to a terrorist. so much for tolerance. holly fisher joins us now. good morning, holly. thanks for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> you say you've had threats of being stoned, raped and all these terrible things should happen to you. one tweet came in. this one was from patrick. he said hey, holly fisher, i was hoping you could fly down to florida so we could stone you to death. you know, religious fundamentalism. you hear all these terrible things. then it gets taken to another level, being compared to a terrorist. how does that make you feel? >> it's shocking for me that people would compare someone who is standing in front of our flag that represents our freedom on independence day, i'm

holding my first and second amendment rights in my hand and it all represents freedom, and they want to compare me to a woman who is quite the opposite. she despises everything about this country and hates this country and would kill all of us if given an opportunity. i don't understand where the logic comes from. >> holly, a lot of people agree with you, what you stand for. why did you post it? >> i posted the hobby lobby picture the day of the ruling, and a few people were like the only thing missing is your gun or your bible or your flag. so on the fourth i decided to go ahead and post the second one with those three things. really i expected less backlash with this than i did the first one because the picture is like america's founding principles. that's all that's in the picture. i really didn't think it would cause the uproar that it has. >> did you think that you

were going to be changing the minds of left wingers or were you trying to let folks know who agree with you that it's okay to have these beliefs and it's okay to be verbal about them and share them on social media? >> right, that's exactly what i want people to know, is it's okay to stand up for what you believe in. i feel like the last few years especially there's been this growing intolerance among the left, acting like conservatives are becoming more and more afraid to speak up. i know i'm not going to change any minds of liberals. i know we don't disagree, and i accept that. i understand, and i'm not hateful with people who don't agree with me. but i just want people to know that it's okay, like you're not alone. you're not alone. it's okay to stand up for what you believe in. >> you talk about i think it's okay to post those pictures and understand some people won't agree with it. but i also think this is out of bounds when people

tweet this had response to the picture. i guess your baby was having heart trouble and this is the answer. good, i'm glad she did. one less conservative underling to worry about. have a nice life. that's got to hurt. >> yeah, it is -- it's shocking. it's sad that someone who disagrees with you would wish death upon a baby. i mean, i really don't understand. i can take the criticism upon myself. i know that's going to happen. but for anyone that goes so low as to wish death on a baby, especially people who claim that i'm intolerant and i'm hateful because i disagree with them, it's just shocking. >> your whole point of bringing this up was that you say you lost a cardiologist for your baby because of obamacare and just relating to a lot of people out there who have lost their doctors and it's very real for them. holly fisher, thanks for speaking out this morning.

on. the guest on the record with greta last night said elisabeth hasselbeck was the best thing that happened to "the view." and they need to find somebody else like her. >> to me, the linchpin in this thing was elisabeth hasselbeck. ironically, i didn't think so at the time, she was the key to the success in the show at least in the last eight or nine years because she was the lightning rod. you saw what happened with your show with rosie and elisabeth. that is the stuff people like seeing. all of whomnt five people are agreeing. >> that's been the problem for many people who watched the new and improved "view" going on right now. they call it "the view." it is the view. it is one view from the political left. that's the great thing about good shows. they give you both sides. >> not only that, bill getty's gone. he's the creator of the show. and barbara walter's right-hand man through most of her career. he left. they're talking about bringing margaret hoover in who used to be here for awhile. they're looking for a

[screaming] >> the first man tries to grab the teenager only to be swept up in the violent current there. his friend then jumps in. they spot the teenager, pull him on to the rocks

and manage to give him c.p.r. listen. >> robert said to me i think he's dead. i was like no, we're not going to give up on this kid and kept pumping and pumping him. >> that happened south of los angeles. that teenager is now recovering in a california hospital. >> someone called the p.c. police and you're not going to believe this one. indiana state university relabeling the family restroom all gender. here's what the new signs will look like. really! truly! there is a traditional male and female figure we all know; right? now at the school they have a half-male and half-female figure. okay. students didn't ask for the chang. administrators say they wanted to create an all human restroom. what do you think of that? you've got the man on the top and the skirt on the bottom. brian's confused by this. we're a little confused by

>> amazing. no matter whether it's a major bank or a card store with an a.t.m. in it, one of those independent ones and you prefer going to the banks, you say cover it up >> cover up the key pad with your hand so they don't get the information off your pin code. otherwise they will burn that data on to a blank a.t.m. card. >> you're saying this looks like there's something odd about this even though i would do it and not pick it up, you would. however, if done correctly, these would mold to the way the curve tour is which makes it really hard to detect? >> the bad guys have the a.t.m. sitting in front of them when they create the actual skimming device so it molds to the face of the a.t.m.t. looks like it belongs there. to the naked eye most people won't see it. you want to fiddle around with the face of the a.t.m. if you can pull something off that means you have a scirm in your hand. -- skimmer in your hand.

>> in a major town, small city, this is happening everywhere? >> a.t.m. skimming is affecting consumers all over the u.s. overseas they have chip and pin which is better card technology that can't easily be compromised. over here we have that magnetic strip which means consumers will be vulnerable. you have to pay close attention to your statements. i recommend down loading your bank or credit card's application and looking at your credit card every day at this point. they'll do little hits on you. >> they'll take out a maximum dollar amount which is usually $500 right at midnight, do it again right after midnight. >> you are our identity theft expert. unfortunately we'll need your expertise more and more. and i need 100 bucks. >> how about 100 out of

mr. bill, the exit that we did and convince her that it was a good idea and it kind of all went from there. there was a lot of coordination on my part and a lot of friends that helped. >> nicole, did you feel like this was just any other day before he pulled out the ring? >> yeah. we had a few friends coming out to do tandems. it was the day after my birthday. so we were camping out there. just doing a bunch of jumps. the jump he actually made us practice in his brother's backyard. we had done it before, but we had done it a couple times and one of them failed. so he's like, we have to make sure it's good this okay, well f it doesn't work out issues it's just fine. he said, we have to. so he brings out this thing that we hung from. >> the juicy part is he breaks out the ring and he's professing his love for you and what's going through your mind just before he drops it and as he drops it? >> i was wondering how it was

attached to him because he's normally really careful. like he won't even let me jump with the ring on now and it's on my finger. i was like, is it string under him? whatever. i was like looking over, then he's like, let's go of it. he's avoiding eye contact with me. i'm like okay. well... . >> you can understand why he did this with a fake ring because he spent a lot of money on it, i imagine. we want to show everybody the ground proposal. let's watch this. i imagine the screams and tears we were hearing in the background was your friends and family in the background. what are they thinking as they're

peter doocy live in washington. what can we expect to emerge from this one on one that turns into a town hall round table? >> reporter: the lone star state of president obama's schedule includes fund-raisers at homes in dallas and austin. but no border visit. the governor, rick perry, says he isn't sure how serious president obama is about finding a solution for the daily surge of unaccompanied children coming from the south. >> if the president of the united states is really serious about securing that border, we can show him how to do that. but i haven't even had a phone call from this president. >> reporter: valerie jarrett sent perry a letter inviting him to sit down with the president and local leaders at a round table talk about the immigration crisis and perry plans to attend. but at a white house briefing yesterday, the press secretary had to explain why it was valerie jarrett and not the president reaching out to perry. >> valerie spends a lot of time

maintaining our relationships with governors across the country. >> reporter: the president is asking for $3.7 billion in aid to address the unaccompanied minor crisis at the border. 1.8 would help hhs house the kids. 1.1 would help homeland security deter border crossings. 64 million would help doj hire new immigration judges. but for any of these agencies to get money, congress needs to approve the price tag. and remember, it was less than two weeks ago the president said he was going to try to fix as much of the immigration system as he can without congress. back to you in new york. >> peter doocy live in the bureau. thank you very much. something the empty could do without congress is order up the national guard. say we need some security down on the southern border. go down. >> he doesn't act unilaterally. that's not right. >> that's why it's going to be kind of an awkward meeting with rick perry. rick perry back in 2010 asked

for 1,000 national guardsmen to go guard our southern border. then last week he asked the president again. help us send in the national guard. mr. perry also is asking that the white house repay texas $500 million for footing the bill for border security that should be paid for by the federal government. instead the border patrol agents, many of them, are baby-sitter. >> senator feinstein who helped write the measure says quote, the law already provides the flexibility to accelerate the judicial process in the time of crisis. does anybody doubt this is a time of crisis? >> right. of course it's a time of crisis. whatever kind of crisis you call it, whether it's a humanitarian crisis, which is clearly is, or border security, national security crisis, it's something that needs to have some action taken on. it's not just texas or california that has been stealing the headlines. it's other states as well. arizona congressman was on earlier and he said what needs to happen is these buses need to turn around and these illegal

immigrants need to leave the united states and president obama needs to make that happen. listen. >> it's not a smart policy. it's not a compassionate policy. if we want to stop it, we need to send a clear message through not just rhetoric, but actions. that is get the children back to their country and reunite them with their families in their countries as quickly as possible. i've been to two of these detention centers already, the one in arizona about three weeks ago and mcallen, texas, just last week where we had a field hearing on this issue. you're right, the border patrol agents are being taken off the border to baby-sit these children and it's not smart policy. >> what he's doing is congressman, he's coming up with a bill so that children from guatemala and el el salvador ann this nicaragua and country missouth america, they would be treated the same as anybody from mexico or canada because right now if you are from a noncontiguous country, you got to come in,

then it's adjudicated rather than somebody stopping them on the border saying whoa, turn around. >> right. unaccompanied children especially. that's what this bill is intended for. there is a lot still that has to be done, including the president saying right now i need over $3 billion. senator coburn comes out and says, listen, i'm not going to give him $3 billion 'cause he's going to keep asking for it every single year. as congressman louis agreement says, i don't want to give him the first three. >> what is more caring, to keep adding mass graves as children are encouraged to flood into the united states because our commander in chief will not secure the border? i think the more compassionate thing is when you actually secure the border and make people follow the law. what we're doing, i know we got democrats saying, we just need to get more immigration judges. well, congress controls naturalization, immigration. that's our job. i don't want a comprehensive bill, as you say, bill.

we can't trust this president. >> when you look at all the money that you're talking about, close to $4 billion to handle this, there is nothing in this particular provision to strengthen our southern border. last night i heard jonah goldberg say when you do the breakdown, the amount of money we would be spending would be about $80,000 per kid. >> wow. >> that's just this time. >> wow. so you got to stop the bleeding or stop the flood. so if you've got a bathtub and it's overflowing with water, you don't continue to put towels on the floor to try to absorb the problem. you have to turn off the spigot. let's switch gears and talk about this -- let's turn off that faucet and turn this on. this is getting a lot fired up. a conservative mother of three in west virginia had all sorts of liberals on twitter just giving her all sorts of backlash because of pictures she posted. this is following the hobby

lobby pro decision, hold ago chick-fil-a cup in front of hobby lobby, in front of the flag, clinging to her gun and her bible. we're getting nasty tweets. >> yeah. i think she even tweeted out, liberals better not look at these pictures because your heads will explode. you know what? apparently some heads did explode. even though she was exercising her freedom of speech. here, for instance, is an tweet from attic. holly fisher, so i was hoping you could fly down to florida so we could stone you to death. you know, religious fundamentalism. >> this from the cardiologist for her baby who is having some problems that show wrote about. this is the response. because the cardiologist, this mom had, she was going to lose because of obamacare. he said good, i'm glad she did. one less conservative underling to worry about. have a nice life. >> it's one thing to put yourself in the public forum and expect to get some criticism.

but for somebody to attack a little baby who has got a heart problem after she lost her health care and her cardiologist because of obamacare, that is over the line. here, holly fisher. >> i want people to know is it's okay to stand up for what you believe in. i feel like the last few years especially, there has been this growing intolerance among the left. i feel like conservatives are becoming more and more afraid to speak up. i know i'm not going to change any minds of liberals. i know we don't agree and i accept that. i can understand. and i'm not hateful with people who don't agree with me. but i just want people to know that it's okay, like you're not alone. >> that's right. let's hear both sides. the supposed tolerant left not so tolerant. >> from the couch in the middle, let's go to the right. there is heather nauert poised to deliver the news.

>> good morning. we're following a story out of washington this morning. the v.a. hearing that went late into the night. four people blowing the whistle that they reported failures within the v.a. system. doctors who testified say they were publicly ridiculed after they were asked to testify before congress. listen to this. >> 30 individuals gave testimony. i gave honest and true testimony and during that testimony i feared retaliation. i was labeled a rat. i was labeled a person who ratted out this person. that person by the way, is still in the supervisory role at the v.a. >> all that just for telling people what was happening at the v.a. the whistle blowers, some had their pay cut. others were suspended. others were fired all together. the family of a missing pregnant woman who went missing more than a week ago now begging

for help this morning. they are asking for anyone to come forward who may have seen or heard from 19-year-old erin corwin, she's the wife of a marine. >> her solely running off doesn't make sense. originally we thought she was lost. we kind of started to lose hope of that whenever her vehicle was found without her. so we really don't know what to think. >> she's three months pregnant and she disappeared on her way from her home in 29 palms in california. while you were sleeping, deadly storms ripping through the northeast, leaving at least five people dead this morning. those victims include a mother and her daughter. their home collapsed near syracuse, new york. then tragedy also striking a summer camp in maryland. a boy there was killed by falling tree branches. then all the way out in colorado, a bolt of lightning nearly hitting this guy who was

trying to film the storm. take a look at this. oh, my gosh. can you imagine that? that guy is luckily okay this morning. boy. then start the bidding war, the last birthday cake-flavored crumbs cupcake is on the ebay auction block after the bake shop announced it was closing all its doors. the workers at likeable media found themselves in possession of one last sweet treat. they have already bid $250 for a cupcake. i mean, they're good, but really? those are your headlines. i found peanut butter at the grocery store for $15 yesterday. it was crazy. >> was it this big? >> no, a little thing of peanut butter. >> it was probably mismarked. >> it wasn't. it wasn't. i didn't buy it. >> that was the fancy stuff.

>> crazy. >> thank you very much. she'll have hour news a jiff. as we told you, even democrats are starting to doubt the president's handling of the immigration crisis. congressman henry cuellar, a democrat from texas says he hopes this is not president obama's katrina. the congressman will join us live next. and is this the airline plan to win back frustrated customers? free pizza during a delay? >> it's a start. ♪ ♪ vo: this is the summer. the summer of this. the summer that summers from here on will be compared to. where memories will be forged into the sand. and then hung on a wall for years to come.

get out there, with over 50,000 hotels at $150 dollars or less. expedia. find yours.

he has been called energizing, electrifying and unaware of personal boundaries. and now he's here to explain one product that does two things. beroccaaaaaaaaaaaaa! fla-pow... mental sharpness support... fla-pow... physical energy support... ...together and only brock spedwell can explain it. beroccaaaaaaaaaaaaa! beroccaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

he's asking for billions of dollars to fix a problem he refuses to address in person. kind of odd. i'm talking about president obama and today he's going to be meeting with texas governor rick perry and some local officials to talk about immigration and i imagine to control the border, especially in texas. south texas. it's got its own members of his own party up in arms, from steny hoyer to our next guest, texas congressman henry cuellar. congressman, what do you hope emerges from the round table and the one on one with your governor today? >> first of all, i want to thank you for meeting with governor rick perry. but the only thing is that

meeting is 500 miles away from the border, which makes it even more -- he's meeting with local leaders. i have no idea who they are. i got called from the border, some of my border community leaders are saying, who is the president meeting? he's 500 miles away and he's not meeting with border leaders. he ought to be meeting with the border leaders. he can get on air force one, be there in half an hour, stop traffic going down there and he can be down there right after he finishes his fundraising in texas. >> what do you think he's so concerned about going down there? he was at the border in 2011 saying this wall has sealed everything up. do you want us to build a moat? >> certainly i think he's caught in a dilemma. if he goes down there, he owns the problem. but if he does this long distance and sends surrogates down there, he still owns it, so he's caught up in a dilemma. but personally i think a leader will be defined by how he handles a challenge and i think one of the things he needs to do is roll up his sleeves, go down

there to the border, talk to the community leaders there and i think that would probably be one of the better things he can do, plus changing the 2008 law that treats noncontiguous countries very different by border patrol. >> that 2008 law that senator feinstein helped write a democrat, she says the law already provides the administration with the flexibility to accelerate the judicial process. the administration should use that flexibility to speed up the system. he could do that right now and this president has no problem acting without congress. he's got a pen and a phone. >> if he wants to use an executive order, this would be a perfect time to use an executive order to give the border patrol the flexibility to address that. i've looked at the law. i don't think it does that, but if he wants to do an executive order and say that it does that, then he ought to do that because the border patrol, when somebody comes in to a border, the border patrol will say, are you from mexico? then they have an expedited deportation. then if you're from a noncon tin

with us country, both mexico and canada, you're treated differently. >> are you for sealing the border? are you for better border security? >> i'm not for a wall. i can tell you that. but i feel that we ought to secure the border. i live on the border. i breathe the air, the water, drink the water there. so i know the border. but you need to have more border patrol. you certainly have to have more cameras, sensors there. there is a way we can secure the border without impeding trade and commerce. >> that's something i imagine you want the president to see. let me ask you something, a lot of times this administration gets angry when their own party speaks up and speaks out. ask cory booker about that. have you gotten that call? >> yes, i have. but let me just say this, i'm more concerned not about who gets angry at me at the white house. i'm more concerned about my constituents that want to find a practical solution to this question that we're facing down there at the border. >> who called you? >> we'll just leave it like that.

>> did they tell you to pipe down? >> we'll just leave it like that. notice what i'm doing. i'm still talking about it because again, the bottom line is we got to make sure that we look at this situation. listen to this, they're releasing right now in laredo and in south texas 500 individuals a day. they put them at bus stations and they're given tickets where they can travel anywhere in the u.s. 500 individuals a day. that doesn't include the kids without parents. >> congressman, you are showing that leadership. you're doing what's best for the country. not your party. i appreciate you joining us again this morning. >> thank you so much. >> coming up straight ahead, a $47 million mistake and you're paying for it. how the state's government is trying to spin its food stamp folly into positive news and no need to adjust your television. this cat is real. venus the two-faced cat hello! i'm a kid.

and us kids have an important message for our grown ups. three grams daily of beta-glucan... a soluable fiber from whole grain oat foods like cheerios can help lower cholesterol. and where can you find beta-glucan? in oats. and, they're yummy! i'm going back to being a kid now. thank you!

time for news by the numbers: 101 days. that's how long marine sergeant andrew tamarisi has been jailed in mexico since he accidentally crossed the border with three legal weapons in his vehicle. today he finally gets to tell his story to a judge. what took so long? $47 million. that's how much the state of florida misspent in food stamp benefits. since they had the lowest rate in the country, the government considers this a savings of taxpayer funds and it's rewarding florida with a $7 million bonus. ohm -- only in d.c

430,608. that's how much tax money the national institutes of health is spending to study how moms dancing with daughters can fight obesity. okay. >> hopefully doesn't turn out like the reality show. what you're seeing is not an illusion. this cat has two-toned face, split right down the middle. her name is venus and no, her fur is not dyed. she was born this way. she's here this morning with her owner. good morning. >> good morning. >> so venus was a stray, obviously is getting stardom these days. tell us the story. >> well, she was on a dairy farm in north carolina and a picture went up on facebook of her that my husband and i discovered. we fell in love with her and we're big cat people anyway. so we decided to bring her into the family and we have a black tuxedo and orange one at home. >> if you turn her head one side, the black cat, the other

side, she's an orange cat. what's striking about her is just the fact that the line is so perfect. it looks like somebody took a sharpie and colored her face. >> yes. she's actually a -- she was just spayed back in january and she's put on quite a bit of weight. it's changed a little bit of the distribution, but it's become more straighter of a line. >> she still looks thin to me. you say you had to have her dna tested. >> not yet. >> some people think she's her own twin? >> that's one of the possibilities. but we have not dna tested her. if it was medically necessary, but not for curiousity. i won't put her through the testing. one day we may find out, but i don't know for sure. >> you and i have something in common. back in the '80s i adopted a barn cat and named him g. gordon kitty. now your cat is immortalized in a plush toy. tell us about this. >> in 2012 when she was first discovered on the internet and

made her viral rounds, we finalized a agreement with gun. fans were requesting. we teamed up with gun for the plush stuffed animal. >> it's not just an angelcal cat -- not just in south florida where you're from, but this went viral everywhere. any big plans, like grumpy plans? is venus going to be writing books and doing calendars? >> we are working on some projects. one will be a book. >> wait a minute. how does a cat write a book? >> i've seen it! >> she's not going to write the book. but we don't have any big plans. i don't like to travel with her too much. she doesn't mind it at all. clearly she's very calm. but we probably won't be on the same scale as grumpy cat or some of the others. i like to keep it more home grown and personal. >> venus has an orange face and black face, a blue eye and green

eye. >> thank you for bringing her from the boca raton area. >> thank you. >> it's now 28 minutes after the top of the hour. imagine this, you're watching a documentary on a serial killer and suddenly the crime scene in the movie is your house. >> what? >> what would you do? >> then he's the mastermind behind the group. richard marx is cooking up something new and he joins us live next introducing nexium 24hr finally, the purple pill, the #1 prescribed acid blocking brand, comes without a prescription for frequent heartburn.

real one. >> let me get this straight. you're in the car with your family. didn't brian think, why do we have all those suitcases in the back to go to midtown manhattan? >> he wasn't that observant of a child. >> okay. >> we kept it in the back. >> my first trip to disney world, my parents asked me what my favorite part was and you're supposed to say space municipalitior mountain or something and i said the gift shop. i've been shopping ever since. >> why does everything have a mouse on it? let's go to heather nauert. she has the news. >> sometimes it doesn't take much to impress kids. >> or scare. >> i've got a story out of california. the weather there, water has been so treacherous off the coast of los angeles, at least 50 people have had to be rescued in the past couple days. now we've got video that captures the moment two men save a teen-ager who fell into the rocky and rough waters. take a look at this. boy, hearing that screaming

right there, really gives you chills. the first guy tries to grab the teen-ager only to be swept up in the violent current. his friend then jumps in to the water. they spot the teen-ager, pull him onto the rocks and give him cpr. >> robert said, i think he's dead. i was like no, no, we're not going to give up on this kid. like just kept pumping and pumping. >> boy. that teen-ager is now recovering in a california hospital. imagine watching one of those scary murder mystery shows on tv. you know them. then you realize that the serial killer they're talk being on that show used to live in your house. this actually happened to a woman in the state of missouri and her home was once used as a torture chamber. it belonged to a convicted serial killer, maturey travis. travis hanged himself in jail in 2002. police believe that he killed somewhere between 12 and 20 women in the basement of that house. the woman who is now renting the place says she had no idea and

the landlord never mentioned the history in that house. there is no law in missouri that forces a landlord to disclose those past crimes. this guy is proud to be an american. so why can't this guy in california fly an american flag inside his own apartment? steve roberts says he's now being forced to take it down and management won't tell him why. according to his lease. roberts can't hang anything outside the apartment, but the flag can be seen when he opens his blinds. apparently that gives his landlord cause to evict him. he's promised to keep flying the stars and stripes no matter what. we will follow that story for you. an airline serving up a really special delivery to win back some its frustrated passengers. the pilot buying a pizza for everybody on board a flight that was bound for denver after it was diverted and then delayed because of bad weather. 50 pizzas were delivered to the frontier airline plane on the tarmac after it was stuck in

wyoming for more than an hour. what a nice pilot. those are your headlines. i'll see new a bit. >> thank you very much. he is the mastermind behind the performers barbra barbra std and kenny rogers and others. while he had a number of hits on his own, been a while since richard marks released a studio album his own. >> why do you bring that up? >> because he's sitting next to me. >> it's changing today. richard marks is here to unveil his new album. good morning. >> wouldn't it be weird if he just mentioned that. >> right. sometimes he does that. that's why i wanted to make sure i wasn't going to embarrass him. >> why haven't you released a album? >> it's six years. why are you so angry? hello? >> trying to get to the really good part of the story so people will buy this thing. >> i've been making a ton of

music. it's just that i've been making it for other people to sing. writing songs with an array of other artists. keith urban and vince gill, lighthouse and daughtry. >> you are such a name dropper. >> we've had them all on. >> yeah. i've been working mostly behind the scenes and didn't really think about making an album for myself. i just kind of stumbled into it last summer. i had written these couple of songs that i thought, wow, that's the beginning of an interesting album. so i kind of dove in. >> so often the music we listen to is about undying, everlasting love. you say you've taken kind of a different approach to relationships. i have a good friend who says people come into your life for a reason, season and a purpose. how is that freeing as an artist? >> it's not necessarily new. but i've written many songs with forever and eternity. there are quite a few songs that get used at weddings, which

is awesome and i love those songs. this album is more -- less about forever and more like saying to somebody, what are you doing for the next few hours? >> really? >> pretty much about tonight. >> right. >> more motel than motel. more motor inn than hotel. >> i'll go with that. that should have been the sticker. >> i think anna, you asked the best question. i wish i asked that one. that was so much better than mine. does it bother you when people make hits out of your songs, your words. they're your feelings? >> does it bother me? >> yeah. it bothers me that it doesn't seem to bother you. >> does it bother me when keith urban has a massive hit with a song that i wrote? >> yes! >> yeah, majorly. >> maybe i don't understand your business. >> keith urban makes a song,

mr. guy right here makes some money. >> he's not in it for the money, steve. >> i'm totally in it for the money. >> hello? >> it says here not in it for the money. i can't believe it. >> that must be somebody else. bad intel. >> incredible. >> often are you in an elevator -- >> i love when you say my whole name in front of me. >> richard marx. >> how often are you in an elevator and you're thinking, that sounds familiar. that's me singing, or that's a song i wrote, or that's my spotify channel. or that's my pandora channel. >> you should only take questions from anna. you only like her questions really. you've shaken off every one of our questions. >> when you're talking at me i'm just -- >> staring at anna. >> i think the answer to the elevator question is -- i've had a lot of ballads. somebody took a picture of me in an elevator and went, this is the most redundant picture ever.

>> let me ask you, are you glad that the "x factor" and "american idol" is struggling and all these singing shows are going under? >> no, i'm not glad for anybody to be out of work. i mean, i'm not a huge fan of those shows, although i was on the idol finale. i did a thing with ryan seacrest that was fun. >> you sang your solo. >> yes, he did. he's a great guy. we had a lot of fun that night. the answer to your question, which is a really good question. no, i do not want anybody's shows to fail. but i'm a proponent of -- i don't think there is any way of real successful music career other than paying your dues. that's a short cut. those shows are great, exposes people to millions of people. but you kind of have to have some experience and the goods to prepell that. >> and oftentimes it brings you to the top of a mountain and drops you off. >> a lot of these kids are young and they haven't -- they don't have their touring legs.

they don't have that experience and they get thrown out there without anything -- >> our relationship has struggled. this has not gone great in the beginning, but it ended strong. >> it's a beautiful good-bye. >> that is the name of the album. download it right now. richard marx. >> thanks. that was a drag. >> that was good. it is 19 minutes before the top of the hour. coming up, if the president understood the history of immigration in america like the illian gonzalez saga, would he handle the issue differently? a look back and a look ahead. then hillary clinton making some curious comments on why she would be a good president. just in her blood? >> first the trivia question of the day. born on this day in 1932, this politician served as the 21st secretary of defense. who is he? be the first to e-mail us with the correct answer.

quick headlines now. does hillary clinton have a predisposition to be president? during an interview with the german magazine written in german, she squashed that notion that another bush or clinton in the white house would turn american politic noose a monarchy. she said, quote, she had two roosevelts. we had two adams. it may be the certain families just have a sense of commitment or even a predisposition to want to be in politics. architecture digest giving a sneak peek inside the bush ranch in crawford, texas. president george w. bush said the many windows gives him lots of space for his new hobby. painting. the one story, three bedroom home sits on 1600 acres.

as does my house. thanks so much. the illegal entry of more than 54,000 children from central america has magnified the issue of america's weakened border and failed policy. many americans are angry and concerned. they want the white house to solve this crisis. so how does our immigration past inform us of our immigration future? here is peter johnson, jr. >> to plot our future, we really need to understand our american history. the statue of liberty's hopeful invitation to the tired, poor, huddled masses is sometimes belied by our own doubts and economic insecurities. our history in dealing with immigrants is consumed with tension as it is american pride. the native policy of know nothing party of the mid 18 50s. the no irish need apply signs in the 19th century.

fear of so-called yellow peril clouded our consciousness for a long time. and the teaming thousands passing through ellis island who reinvented american cities. carrying 1,000 jewish refugees, fleeing hitler turned away from our shores in 1939. in 1980, the arrival of thousands of cuban refugees. some directly from jail. finally, the saga of illian gonzalez, returned to cuba in 2000. now the central american child invasion are each telling snapshots of our history and of the importance and controversy, always generated by newest arrivals. they've come and they're coming to america. but how? and at what price? that's the question today. >> right. so what's the take away as you look back in history? what do we need to do? >> the take away in terms of history, and the president needs to understand, is that we got a complex history of compassion, but also confusion in terms of immigration. but we've morphed. we've evolved in terms of our history. what may have been

discrimination, what may have been bias in the past has become an essential focus on sovereignty, on the borders, and on economic security. a lot of americans are feeling that the president has not provided economic security, has not secured the borders, and doesn't understand the concept of sovereignty, the fact that we are one nation, one people out of many. but there need to be limits about who can come here and when and at what price. >> what is it that he doesn't understand? >> i don't think he understands the concept that americans really do believe that you need to earn your way in this country, that this is not a give away country, that our borders are not an invitation for people to come willie nilly without any protection and without any kind of control. what i think we've done is enticed about 50,000 children with false promises and really a morally repugnant way we said no, but you can't stay now.

so we proffer the dream of america in a unrealistic way, and the president says no, we need money to protect the border. we need money for new i don'ts. we're going to send these children back. why was the invitation extended in the first place and why won't the president go to our borders today wi perry and others to see the real issue? if he had an understanding of our history, of the complexity of our feelings towards immigration, then i think he'd be able to plot a way towards the future. it's not about discrimination. it's not about racism. it's about sovereignty and economic security. he seems to misunderstand both concepts. >> peter johnson, jr., thank you so much. very well said. >> good to see you. 49 minutes after the hour. up next, wouldn't you be down for meeting your husband or wife at the very first time at the altar and say i do? it's a brand-new reality show. but is it normal or nuts? first on this day in history

they normal or nuts? dr. keith ablow back in his home base in boston joins us live. good morning to you. >> normal or nuts world headquarters. >> let's begin with story one. >> you remember this new york yankee fan fell asleep during the game. now he's filing a $10 million lawsuit against two espn commentators for poking fun at him during the broadcast. let's take a listen to this. >> tell you what, how comfortable is that? >> probably won't have any neck problems tomorrow. >> i mean, is that guy to his left his buddy who is just letting him sleep or is he here alone? >> maybe that's his buddy and he likes him a lot better when he's asleep. >> dr. ablow, normal or nuts, this sleeping guy suing for $10 million? >> i know it sounds outrageous, but i'm going to say normal because i'll tell you -- >> wait, $10 million nuisance lawsuit is normal?

>> i'm not sure as a forensic psychiatrist, which is one of the hats i wear, i'm not sure that broadcasters are free to appropriate anybody in any audience and poke fun at that person. i know this seemed rather lukewarm, the poking of fun. but listen, you take your victim as he comes. if this fellow has a particularly thin skin, maybe he suffers with depression, i have no idea. let the court decide whether he's been hurt or not. i don't think you sign up for being necessarily the object of broadcaster scorn. >> it wasn't that bad, though. >> it wasn't that bad. >> on the ticket when you go in to yankee stadium in the fine print, it says you can be on tv and they can talk about you. >> i think you're nuts that you think it's normal. number two, marriage, at first sight is a new reality show that pairs three women and three men together. the couples are legally married upon meeting each other for the

first time. is this normal or nuts? >> i'm telling you, this one is flat out crazy nuts. here is the thing, we're so worried about living our real lives, about being genuine, that we've got a bunch of reality tv shows that are anything but reality. very toxic. >> speaking of reality shows, there is a new one called "dating naked" where a couple of guy, a couple of girls, they all get together. they're naked the whole time for the dates. normal or nuts? >> again, it's nuts. look, there is nothing real about that reality tv. >> what's foreplay? you slowly get dressed? >> i can't imagine anybody making eye contact. >> okay. next up. we've got you to weigh in on this third story. california governor just signed a law that replaced husband and wife with spouse under the state's marriage laws. the law will go into effect

january 1, 2015. normal or nuts? >> get ready for the cards and letters. nuts. here is the thing, the state needs to get out of the marriage business because here is what we can expect. there is no way that the state of california can deny a marriage license to four spouses now. eight spouses, or i would say three human spouses and the canine they absolutely love because if love is the foundation of marriage, they can love their dog, too. >> right. you are one lucky guy. thanks a lot, keith. coming up straight ahead. >> rosy o'donnel, she's back. >> there are no marshmallows in this he has been called energizing, electrifying and unaware of personal boundaries.

clarence thomas, the justice on the supreme court, voted with the majority? maybe harry is color blind. >> steve, you did such a great job, i'm going to give you permission to read mine. read it the same way did you before. >> she's back. >> do you believe i think our troops are terrorists? >> i don't think -- >> do you believe that, yes or no? >> excuse me. let me speak. >> you're going to double speak. it's just a yes or no. >> i am not a double speaker. >> joy behar needs a therapist after that. rosie o'donnell's return to the view could be imminent. life will be good again. what does elisabeth hasselbeck think about that? she's going to be joining her show because mornings are better with friends. >> this is richard marx and you're watching "fox & friends." >> that was fun. you guys spoil everybody. >> yeah. when you say elisabeth will be joining her show, you mean this show. >> yes. >> you don't mean she's going

back to "the view." >> right. >> she's going to join us in about a half hour to talk about the news that apparently rosy is back. >> meanwhile, we've got a fox news alert. immigration showdown in texas. president obama meeting, this morning with governor rick perry one day after asking for billions of dollars to help with the crisis. but will it help? peter doocy live in washington. what can we expect from the meeting this morning? >> reporter: today the president will appear at a fund-raiser, at a home in dallas and at a home in austin, but he will not visit the u.s.-mexico border. there will be a round table discussion about the surge of unaccompanied children from the south featuring the president, local leaders, and the governor, rick perry. but perry is curious why the president doesn't want to see how bad things are at the border with his own two eyes. >> the president of the united states is really serious about securing that border, we can show him how to do that. i haven't even had a phone call from this president.

>> reporter: the invitation to the round table didn't come from the president either. it came from senior advisor valerie jarrett. the white house says jarrett helps the administration stay close with america's governors and that the president doesn't need to visit the border to know what's going on. >> the president is well aware of exactly what's happening on the border and what we're focused on right now are not political statements that would be made with an appearance, but rather with specific concrete action. >> reporter: here is that action, the president is asking for $3.7 billion in aid to address the unaccompanied minor crisis at the border. that money would be spread among hhs, homeland security, and the justice department, among others. but for any of these agencies to get money, congress needs to approve the price tag and remember, it was less than two weeks ago that the president said he was going to try to fix as much of the immigration system as he can without congress. back to you. >> thank you very much. the republicans are saying,

okay. you want $4 billion, mr. president? where is that money going to come from? if you want that money, we've got to talk about some offsets. find money somewhere else in the budget. >> there is going to be a big meeting today and a round table with local officials. that's not good enough for congressman henry cuellar, who is a democrat and he actually lives on the border. he's been telling the president and telling the white house, everybody, we have a problem here. not just today, but from years ago. here is congressman cuellar. >> i want to thank him for meeting with governor rick perry, but the only thing is that meeting is 500 miles away from the border, which makes it even more is 'cause he's meeting with local leaders, i have no idea who they are. he ought to be meeting with the border leaders. he can get on air force one, be there in half an hour, stop traffic going down there and he fundraising. a leader will be+iñ?ñ?ñ?ñ?ñ? dew he handles a challenge and i

think one of the things he needs to do is roll up his sleeves, go down there to the border. he wants to use an executive order, this would be a perfect time to use an executive order to give the border patrol the flexibility. >> he made headlines a couple of days ago when he first said that he hopes that this particular human crisis on our southern border doesn't become president obama's katrina. >> yeah. some are saying even that it could be even worse than president bush's katrina for president obama because you think about hurricane katrina was not manmade. this is manmade. this is because of policy. cuellar also said the reason he thinks the president won't go down is he doesn't want to take ownership of it. he wouldn't know how to act and look in the photographs and while he's shaking hands with everybody, he wants to keep this at arm's length and try to blame congress for any problems with immigration. >> outside james caravel when he said, mr. president, we're dying down here when the bp disaster happened, it's very rare when

democrats speak up against the white house. i was wondering if the congressman heard from the white house. listen to what he said. >> a lot of times this administration gets angry when their own party speaks up and speaks out. ask cory booker about that. have you gotten that call? >> yes, i have. but let me just say this, i'm more concerned not about who gets angry at me at the white house. i'm more concerned about my constituents. >> who called you? >> we'll just leave it like that. >> did they tell you to pipe down? >> we'll just leave it like that. notice what i'm doing, i'm still talking about it. >> you're seeing other democrats distance themselves, too. yes, he's going to texas, but also in colorado, he went there yesterday and not greeted by really anybody at the airport and there are three democrats who are up for reelection in the state of colorado that will not be attending. they say they have prior commitments. are they distancing themselves from the president? >> including udall.

>> the republicans are saying, okay, mr. president, you want $4 billion to fix the problem, but you're not fixing your problem. you're not securing the southern border. so you got the republicans angry and then you've got democrats angry because the president is saying, you know what, maybe i should go ahead and get some authority or you should pass a bill so that we can deport these kids faster. democrats don't like that, so so far it has been a big fat mess for the white house and it's not getting any better. today we're going to find out, in a couple hours, whether or not the meeting with rick perry comes to anything. i bet rick the president to send in the national guard. >> i just wish they would realize it's beyond politics. it's a crisis. we're going to talk a little bit more in a second. but we have

falling tree branches that also injured eight other children. then in colorado, a bolt of lightning -- this is just crazy video -- nearly hitting this guy who was filming the storm. look at this. wow. unbelievable, but that guy is okay this morning. that happening in colorado. let's go to washington, d.c. now where the v.a. scandal is now taking center stage at a late night hearing last night. four people blowing the whistle on veterans affairs as doctors who testified detail the retaliation that they suffered for reporting failures within the v.a. system. listen to this. >> i was among close to 30

individuals who gave testimony. i gave honest, true testimony. during that testimony, i feared retaliation. in front of close to 300 individuals, i was labeled a rat. i was labeled the person who ratted out this person. that person by the way, is still in a supervisory role at the v.a. >> that's a picture of him held up in front of all those people. the whistle blowers had their pay cut, others were suspended. others were fired. dramatic new video just coming in of israel striking back against hamas rocket attacks. israel hitting more than 160 sites in gaza with air strikes. five suspected hamas members are now dead this morning. earlier israel's iron dome stopped several rocket attacks from hamas militants. the attack forcing hundreds of israelis to go into bomb shelters. then a fugitive is caught back here at home thanks to his ego. 25-year-old college student jacob close spent one month on

the run after he jumped bail in new york on drug and drunk driving charges. but here is where it gets interesting. a reporter approached him to weigh in on a story about the redskins name controversy. you know we've talked about that a lot. jacob said to the reporter, quote, i think they should keep the name, but change the mascot to a potato. jacob thought his joke was so funny that he wanted credit for it. so he agreed to let the paper print his photo and his name. jacob, cops read the newspaper, too, by the way. they tracked him down and they threw him in jail. talk about dumb criminals. those are your headlines. >> this spud's for you. thank you. all right. let's talk about this. the big news last week was the hobby lobby decision by the u.s. supreme court. it was a victory for religious freedom. however, now the u.s. senate wants to change the rules so that hobby lobby would be required by federal statute to

provide contraception that they do not like. >> case closed, right? >> you would think so, except harry reid continues his war on, well, listen to this, the supreme court. >> this hobby lobby decision is outrageous. and we're going to do something about it. the one thing we're going to do during this work period, sooner rather than later, is to ensure that women's lives are not determined by virtue of five white men. >> problem with that situation is the people that voted on it, not all white. >> the bottom left-hand corner, clarence thomas, clearly an african-american. >> john roberts, sam aledo, scalia, kennedy and mr. thomas. so harry reid, color blind. >> off by 20%. >> or just wrong. he is just wrong. don't know why. >> right. the war against the judicial branch continues and it's unsettling 'cause i never remember it being like this.

11 minutes after the hour. straight ahead. >> we just heard from a democratic congressman upset with president obama's handling of the immigration crisis. up next, the other side, republican senator john cornyn with what his party plans to do if the white house won't act and act fast. and what do these three celebrities have in common? come on. come to your screen. they're about to be extinct. we'll explain this general injury phenomenon. ♪ ♪ introducing nexium 24hr finally, the purple pill, the #1 prescribed acid blocking brand, comes without a prescription for frequent heartburn. get complete protection. nexium level protection™

well, the president is asking congress for $3.7 billion to address the growing crisis created by a flood of illegal immigrants pouring in from central america. he's going to meet with governor rick perry of texas between fund-raisers down in dallas and austin later today. but the president still has no plans to visit the border. texas senator john cornyn says the president should and he joins us live from washington, d.c senator, if the president were to go down and take a look at things with his own two eyes, it would be a real wake-up call for him, wouldn't it? >> it sure would. it would help him get outside of the bubble that all presidents get in. but this president seems just

determined to be tone deaf in terms of the human consequences of the policies that he himself has caused. he should go there, bipartisan support for that and we've had bipartisan members of congress go down there and see it for themselves and the president should see what we saw and i think then he would perhaps reconsider his decision not to do anything to solve the problem but rather than throw money at it. >> i wonder if the meeting with governor perry and others is going to be awkward because for the last couple of years, governor perry has asked for 1,000 national guardsmen to go down to our southern border and, in fact, mr. perry i believe asked for that again just last week. what would be the matter -- tell me why the president does not send let's say 1,000, 2,000, 5,000 national guardsmen to our southern border? >> we know we need more federal law enforcement presence on the border because right now the border patrol is changing diapers rather than interaddicting drugs and other

immigration illegal activities. they need more manpower and any federal source that it can come from out to be a temporary stop-gap measure. we also ought to go back and change the law that was passed in 2008 that's allowed the federal government to release people pending their hearing before an immigration judge because that is basically rather than a notice to appear, it's been called by some of the professionals i've talked to a notice to disappear. they never show back up and so basically 90% of them are successful in evading enforcement. >> it's curious, senator, because you're talking about the 2008 law that was passed overwhelmingly by congress to protect victims of sexual trafficking from noncontiguous countries, not canada and mexico. i've heard so many people in the political left say, well, blame george bush because he signed it. if that were true, then all those people would have flooded over the borders back in 2008.

isn't it because of the president and the executive action regarding the dreamers where people in those countries say, hey, if we show up, we're in? >> it just shows how shrewd and really calculating the cartels and human smugglers are because they found this loophole and it became a big problem after 2012 when president obama issued his deferred action announcement for the so-called dreamers. unfortunately for these children, that doesn't even apply to them as the president acknowledges. so he admits they are not legally present in the country, but refuses to take the necessary steps in order to deter people from starting out on this long perilous journey from you central america through mexico in the hands of the drug cartels where many of them are kidnapped, assaulted. many of them just don't make it because they die from exposure. so this is not a humane situation. the president knows what to do. secretary johnson knows what to do, the head of homeland security. but apparently the president decided to make a political

decision rather than a policy decision that will solve the problem. >> sure. of course, the thing that makes sense, and i know people from your party are saying we've got to secure the border and then we'll deal with everything else so that we don't keep the flood coming. as we look at these pictures of these little kids in these detention centers of these facilities or whatever you want to call them, they're heart breaking. we got to take care of them now that they're here, right? >> absolutely. i was down there a week ago inj< mcallen, talked to a young boy from central america, 13 years old. we asked where his parents were. he said they're dead. so this is obviously very heart breaking circumstances. but it is not humane for these kids to put them through this long perilous journey in the hands of the drug cartels who treat them as a commodity, just like they do drug, weapons and other items of contraband. so this really backfired because it's -- the president is giving the impression that we're not going to enforce the law, so that's basically been a huge magnet and it will continue to get worse, steve, before it gets

better unless the president steps up. >> let's see what happens today. senator john cornyn, thank you for joining us today from washington, d.c. >> thanks. >> it's exactly 20 minutes after the top of the hour. coming up, she's back. hi, rosy. >> do you believe i think our troops are terrorists, elisabeth? >> i don't think that -- >> yes or no? do you believe that yes or no? >> excuse me. let me speak. >> you're going to double talk. -- >> i am not a double speaker. >> she's not a double speaker. but rosie o'donnell is returning to "the view." what does elisabeth hasselbeck think about that, even though she's on vacation? elisabeth will join news a couple of minutes. and have you seen this video? doctors told this boy he would never walk again. well, he proved him wrong and he is here next. guy: ok, and just click on the one you want.

be born after discovering a rare birth defect, doctors recommended abortion. his parents refused, relying on faith to pull their family through. later cadeen would be forced to give up his right foot and his left leg, but much like his parents, he kept the faith and learned to walk. watch. >> not so wide. got it? >> i got it. >> you do? >> i got it. >> good job. >> i got it. i got it. >> you got it? >> i got it. since that video was posted on line, caden has become an internet sensation, res and donm around the world. he's here with us this morning and wooing all of us, his parents nicky and kevin and he's walking for us. come on towards us. come on over here. you're doing great.

>> good job. >> nicky, you took this video just around the independence holiday. you say it was the first time that caden wanted to walk on his own. where had he been before? in physical therapy? >> yes, ma'am. in physical therapy, he always had somebody behind him, like my husband is doing. but what happened is he moved my hand and he wanted to do it all by himself. >> just like any other kid his age, right? >> yes. >> but it's been a long road for you and this moment makes it seem like it's all worth it. but when you had your first ultrasound, what did doctors tell you? >> they said he had something when your organs are on the outside, the blood and intestines, the liver. they recommended i terminate the pregnancy because usually they say children don't survive. only like one child out of five, a little bit over 5,000 that -- (screaming). >> is that okay if we let him

keep walking? you did so great! we're so impressed. so you say doctors said try again. can you imagine at this moment? you guys seem so happy. >> right. we would have missed out on this. >> yes. >> it's good right now compared to everything that happened since his birth. we've been through a lot with the amputations, but you see him walking around, getting around well. he has a good mind. we're just blessed. >> the amputation surgery, that was a few months ago, right? this is january. this is incredible! he's learned so much and so quickly. what are your future plans for him? >> whatever he desires in his heart to do, whatever he wants to try to do, whether it's sports, we believe that he has heart of gold and he's on fire. whatever he has his mind set out to do, we're going to support him. >> so cool. i think everybody on line

agrees. he's had overwhelming support, prayers, people checking this video out on youtube. how does it feel to know your son is an internet sensation and he is inspiring somebody? >> it feels wonderful. just to know he's encouraging so many people. i went on michael vick's page. he shared the video. watching all the comments and listen to people say they're encouraged and they want to go forward. >> yeah. thank you. >> he is going to be an athlete, just like dad says. >> so many people are encouraged just bay two-year-old, just by words that he's saying. he just helped so many people and just to listen to all that is wonderful. >> that video getting me teared up. you guys have been able to raise nearly $30,000 on line this

morning. but you need more. this is expensive. what else do you need money for? >> well, right now we have a lot of bills that we just have to pay off before we start anything else. gradually as we go along, we'll have more bills. we want him to have a good future, to have the best prosthetic, anything in regular life. we want to put him in school, you know. anything special. we want him -- >> be a normal kid, right? and it takes more when you're going through something like this. he clearly wants to be an athlete and like our own brian kilmeade. good luck to the three of you. let us know how everything goes and we'll put up on our web site how people can help. we're going to let you walk. brian, over to you. >> we need to get him his ball back. coming up straight ahead, the top dog of the irs tried to defend his agency, but paul ryan is not buying it. >> i have a long career. that's the first time anybody

>> we wanted to be back. >> photo bomber. i was getting dissed by that person. >> yeah. one of your fans. we asked you what you thought about it. danielle said this on facebook, when i saw this live, i was telling my husband about the boy with the glasses. he was cracking me up. lol, laugh out loud. >> and another one says that little boy is quite the character. very cute. >> right. jim says, very funny. that kid's a hoot. >> there you go. >> i can't believe you didn't notice. >> not exactly eric shaun out there, investigative reporter. they don't put me on the beat out there trying to hunt down stories. i missed the guy in the middle (now we know. 25 minutes before the top of the hour. we've got a fox news alert. the white house announcing new emergency funding that they want for the crisis on the border. this as the president heads to

texas today. congressman paul ryan joins us live now from our nation's capitol. good morning to you. >> good morning, steve, brian and anna. >> great to have you. the president is asking for $3.7 billion for new detention facilities, border patrol agents and overtime, more judges. but nothing about securing the southern border. are you going to give him the money if they don't fix the border first? >> i think you put the nail on the head, which is we don't have a credible plan from the president to fix the root cause of the problem here, which is we don't have a secure border. this is a supplemental that treats symptoms. doesn't address the fact that people are breaking the laws and our border is not secure. this is why we think the president needs to show us what is his plan to secure the border to prevents this from happening in the future? part of this is the president's own doing with his own executive orders. part of this is a law that says relocate people within the interior of the country. we think that ought to be addressed. more importantly, where is the plan to actually secure the border to prevent this from happening to prevent these

illegal crossings in the first place? that is what we think is lack not guilty this supplemental request. >> yeah. is this just a band-aid. it isn't something where the president is going to have to come back and ask for billions more dollars in a few months or next year. >> that's the whole point, which is where -- the administration has been so ambiguous on this crisis. we know it's a fact that he has given us mixed signals and that's why people think they can come here and bring their kids and that they'll be taken care of. so i think part of this is of the president's own making. a lot of it is the fact that we still have yet to secure our border and how can we have faith in fixing immigration laws if we can't even secure our own southern border? >> what would you do, congressman, chairman, with the kids that are here now? there is 50,000 have come since october. what do we do with them now? >> people have crossed this border illegally no matter what their age is. it is a humanitarian crisis. if we actually take them and absorb them into the country, think of the signal that would send to others. they'll continue coming of the you'll actually make this crisis

even worse. so there is a rule of law issue here, and you don't want to have the moral hazard of inducing more humanitarian crises. you have to say this border is secure. you can't come into this country illegally. there are legal methods for doing it. that's the way to go. we need to have a credible plan for the administration on addressing the root cause of this problem. not treating symptoms. yes, we need more border patrol and more detention facilities. but that's in addition to actually having a plan to incredibly secureycñ?ñ?ñ?ñ?ñ?ñ , which we have yet to see from this administration. rñ?ñ?ñ?ñ?ñ >> exactly. we'll see what comes out of the meeting today with the president and rick perry. meanwhile, it was back on june 20, congressman, i don't have to remind you, you had in front of you the commissioner of the irs and some crazy stuff has happened at the irs. we want to play this exchange where essentially you're saying you don't trust this guy. >> you asked taxpayers to hand us seven years of their personal tax information in case they're ever audited and you can't keep six months worth of employee

e-mails? i don't believe you. this is incredible! >> i have a long career. that's the first time anybody has said that they do not believe me. >> i don't believe you. >> were you saying that he was telling a lie or the story that the irs is telling simply is not believable? >> look, there is a long track record. they've been stonewalling throughout this entire investigation. hard work taxpayers deserve a government that is impartial that, is fair, that's honest, that's efficient, transparent, accountable and they're not getting it. we see our job as getting that kind of government for the taxpayers who pay for the government in the first place. look, the irs told the white house in april about these hard drive crashes and they didn't tell congress until may and they really didn't tell us. they buried in the 27-page letter to the senate. only after we followed up did we learn that six other hard drives had crashed for a total of seven people, critical to this investigation, coins dentsally,

their hard drives crashed and their e-mails are unrecoverable and the servers were wiped clean. that's what i don't believe. i don't think it's a credible story and we still have yet to get full answers to the questions that we've been asking. we're not going to stop. >> your words echoing what a loft people were thinking while watching. today your budget committee has a hearing how the federal government can better fight poverty. what's going on with that? >> we're bringing in people who are on the front lines of fighting poverty, getting people off of welfare and to lives of dignity and work. we want to learn lessons from them. we've had 50 years on the war on poverty and the poverty rates haven't changed. we think we need to do better than that. we're learning from people who are on the front lines, like catholic charities, who is succeeding at getting people into good lives and good jobs and we want to learn from them. right now we have a cookie cutter, one size fits all poverty management system at the federal level and we think we need to do another round of welfare reform like we did in the late 1990s. >> i know you're spending a lot of time in the inner city,

trying find out what's going on to better learn because that's not the upbringing you've had. yet you've gotten some backlash when you've spoken out. any regrets? >> not whatsoever. i think what we need to do is go learn from poverty fighters who are actually succeeding at fighting poverty. go learn from people who have a lot to teach us and don't sit in the ivory tower of washington waiting for bureaucrats to tell you what they want to do. that's not how government should work. that's not how you respect taxpayers. what we learn is if you go into these poverty communities and find learn from people who are succeeding at fighting poverty, that you can do a lot with that. that's what i think is very beneficial. we need to challenge the status quo, brian. the status quo isn't working. the status quo is keeping people stuck in poverty and we need to challenge that. those who want to protect their status quo, yeah, this is threatening to them. but we should not take this awful situation we have today as an excuse for doing nothing. >> you can't just throw money at it. you got to address it. >> exactly. you got to address the core issue. >> which is what you were talking about with illegal

immigration. paul ryan, congressman, chairman, thank you very much. have a great day. >> have a good day. coming up straight ahead, let's talk entertainment. rosie o'donnell returning to "the view." that's the rumor. what does elisabeth hasselbeck think about that? i wonder when we'll have a chance to ask her? >> two minutes. we're interrupting her vacation. ♪ ♪ my name is michael,

>> good morning. hi, steve, brian and anna. this is how i watched the show for years. so i'm thrilled to be joining you from my staycation. just made some pancakes for the kids and what could ruin a vacation more than to hear news like this. i know rosy very well. we worked quite closely. talk about not securing the border. here in comes to "the view" the very woman who been in the face of our military, in the face of her own network and really in the face of a person who stood by her and had civilized debates for the time that she was there, coming back with a bunch of control ready to regain the seat of" the view" table, not surprising. i think this has been in the works for a long time. >> why? why do you think it's been in the works for a long time? >> i'll go back to the reunion show for barbara. how odd is this, when you have the woman who again insinuated that our own troops were terrorists in iraq at the time then left the show, meanwhile,

while still at the end of her contract, to have such ease the day of barbara's good-bye show was shocking to me. she walked around with a lot of control and then when i had the chance to talk to her, rosy herself told me on set while we were miked up that she produced the reunion show to have everybody together and it was her idea. now, would you think that the woman who left the way that she did would be producing barbara's good-bye show? here is the shocker, it was actually her hello show. >> wow. >> she had been planning this. >> yeah. >> she's going to have a heavy hand in who will be added to the show. get your thoughts on that in just a bit. harvey levin from tmz was giving you huge accolades last night. listen to this. >> to me, the lynch pin in this whole thing was elisabeth hasselbeck. ironically, i didn't think so at the time. she was the key to the success of the show. at least in the last eight or nine years, because she was the

lightning rod. you saw what happened with rosy and elisabeth. that's the stuff people like seeing. you don't want five people or four people all of whom are agreeing. >> that was the problem for a lot of people with the latest batch, elisabeth hasselbeck, was everybody had the same view. you need to have the other point of view. otherwise it's dull. >> "the view" is supposed to be just that. here is a fact, anyone who is going to be in that seat, if indeed this is all going to play out as i think it will, or already has, will have to be fully approved by rosy. let's not forget, whoopie goldberg is sitting there and she's not going to let anybody control her. she's more trophy than her case than rosy. she's the leader on that show. i'm going to be very interested to see how that goes. >> so they're going to butt heads? >> i don't think it would be wise for rosie o'donnell to challenge whoopie goldberg on anything. i really don't. and i would also say after years

of being there, rosy found out one thing about me, don't mess with a pregnant mama and do not mess with our military when it comes to this girl sitting next to her. i do believe that this has been in the works for a long, long time. she wanted to redo the split screen and voice it over from our original confrontation right there. i was not up for that. she seemed to have a lot of control for barbara's farewell show. again, it's rosie o'donnell's hello show, in my opinion. >> as barbara said good-bye, she said hello. that's probably not a coincidence either. >> not at all. let me finish with this. i could not be more thankful to be at "fox & friends." you all are an outstanding group of crew and buddies there. i'm so ever thankful, days like this always remind me of that. y'all are doing a great job. mark my words, this is just the beginning. again. >> whoopie, we're delighted you're part of our team. and have a great rest of your

vacation, elisabeth. >> a staycation. i'll see you soon. >> coming up straight ahead, as elisabeth knows, we have two blocks left. the murder of three israeli teen-agers barely got any media coverage, but the murdered arab boys were front page news. so why the double standard? lieutenant colonel ralph peters live next. but first, let's check in with bill hemmer for what's coming up at the top of the hour. >> i'm taking hasselbeck in that battle. >> don't cross her. >> correct. leading republican wants access to the immigration holding facilities. he hasn't gotten it yet. we're about to find out whether or not he will. we'll talk to him live. is the president radioactive for fellow democrats? we'll debate that this morning. and big developments in the v.a. scandal. i'll have that all for you, ten minutes away when martha and i see you at the top of the hour o♪ ♪for a snack that isn't lame ♪but this... ♪takes my breath away

rockets soaring over israel targeting jerusalem and three and the israelis are rocketing back. the israeli military defending itself launching major air offensives right now against hamas and fatah. this surge of violence sparked by the murders of three israeli teen-agers followed by that one young palestinian. but while the israelis made an arrest for the murder of the palestinian, hamas has done nothing but praise those who killed the three innocent kids, one of which had american citizenship. so why hasn't the white house and the media spoke up about the double standard? joining us right now, let them loose, lieutenant colonel ralph peters. colonel, does it surprise you? >> no. not at all. because the anti-israel is the postmodern acceptable of anti-semitism. old-fashioned jew hatred. the global left, include the

america left, will not give israel credit for anything. brian, israel in the middle east, look at the middle east, israel is an island of civilization in a sea of barbarism. the only rule of law, democracy in the region, the only place where women are treated fairly or educated values, but israel can't get a break for a number of reasons, not least because israel's success exploded this myth of the left that oh, in the middle east, you can't get ahead because you're oppressed by the imperial powers. a handful of jewish refugees started that state and built a modern world class, high-tech economy where even the president is subject to the law. amazing in the middle east. and our president and his administration sympathizes, in my view, sympathizes nakedly with the palestinians. >> here is an example. philip gordon said, the middle east coordinator for the white house, he says how israel will

remain democratic and jewish has been attempts to governor millions who live on the west bank. how peace will be delineated from the borrowedder and occupation and allow for palestinian sovereignty, security and dignity. he is calling for return to the 67 borders and is blaming israel for the attacks they're now under. >> yeah. and if you we want back to the 67 border, they'd want to go back to the 1947 and 48 borders. if you went back there, they would want to wipe all the jews off thelñ?ñ?ñ?ñ?ñ? map. this iijrp)d to figure out. the fundamental difference here isañ?ñ?ñ?ñ?ñ that israel wants n peace with its neighbors and its neighbors, with few exceptions, want to exterminate israel to wipe it from the map. >> yeah. >> if hamas wants the air strikes on terrorist targets in gaza to stop, it's easy. stop firing rockets blindly at israeli civilians. i'm 100% behind israel because israel is a part of our

civilization. it stands for freedom and decency. >> i'm with you and on top of that, we recognize the hamas, fatah government, it makes no sense to me. have a great day. thanks so much for starting our mourning off so well. >> thank you.
