3:07 am
say he clearly deserted. he left a note. we know that he went awol. yet now, rather than an appropriate court-martial, many feel, he's being put back into the army. but at the same time, if you're the administration, you would want him in the army. because if he is released, if he is no longer in the army, people are going to do interviews and he's going to tell the story and that would be very embarrassing. >> good enough. people say he did continue to participate in debriefings about what happened during his time as a taliban prisoner there. some may say better under close watch than somewhere afar. >> much more on this story. still a lot of questions we don't have answers to this morning. >> we'll continue. the white house is bypassing congress in trying to win over the nation's governors to help fix the border crisis. peter doocy is live in washington. what is happening behind the closed doors? it's a lot of money with regard to the border. >> reporter: it is a lot of money, elisabeth. here's the problem

democratic governors and republican governors are having with the surge of 57,000 unaccompanied minors into this country. it's costing their states a lot to take care of these kids and it's going to cost even more when it's time to send them to school. the health and human services secretary seive -- sylvia burr well sat down trying to get governors support since congress isn't moving on their request for aid. following that meeting the governor of colorado said our citizens already feel burdened by all kinds of challenges. they don't want to see another burden coming to their state. however we deal with the humanitarian aspects of this, we've got to do it in the most cost effective way possible. meanwhile, republican lawmakers believe the president is asking for a blank check, and they think he should be doing more it deter even more kids from crossing. >> we should do targeted
3:09 am
appropriations where it's needed to make sure we are able to detain people and send them back to their countries. but there is an awful lot that the president can do right now without any action on the part of the congress. >> supporters of the obama administration believe it's better to put unaccompanied children up with relatives in the u.s., but nobody is checking to make sure those relatives are legal. and about 46% of those children don't show for deportation hearings. >> they just blend in. thanks, peter. yesterday, did you catch the great interview brit hume had with governor rick perry in texas.

when obama was president my health insurance was $500 a month for a family of six. today it is $1,700. today i got the message you're canceled. you lost your health insurance. they said it is due to obamacare and the mandates of obamacare, they can no longer afford it. what will my new rate be? $2,500 a month? how will a middle-class family pay $20,000, $30,000 a year for health insurance. this is an attempt to make the middle class dependent on government, to live with government checks. >> here's where the middle class is being squeezed. 60% of jobs lost since the recession began were middle-class jobs. only 44% of americans self-identify as middle class. 2.3 million full-time jobs will be eliminated over the next decade. your book is sort of a manual for how to save yourself and your family from the conspiracy and get out of this mess. give us points on how we can survive it.

3:48 am
an employer asks an employee to submit to a drug test, even if there is no allegation that they were using the drug on the premises or during working hours, they can still terminate an employee if that drug test comes up positive. >> you lose your rights as an employee it seems in some ways to have to submit to blood test to your employer >> the law is allowing for employers to still keep their corporate policies intact. >> the employee handbook, no drugs in our offices, not allowed to use drugs. but even on the weekend, if the state allows recreational drug use on the weekend and it is your free time, how can your employer tell you you can't do it? >> this is the interesting part, why we're looking to this one colorado case. in colorado, we have legal recreational marijuana. we also have medicinal marijuana. the case in colorado is just held up by the appellate division now pending before colorado's highest court. this issue was a quadriplegic man who has a legal prescription for
3:49 am
medicinal marijuana, went in to his office, had to submit to a drug test pursuant to the corporate policies, failed the drug test. they terminated him. now in colorado, there's also this statute called the legal activities statute. the legal activities statute says we cannot terminate you in the workplace because you're participating in a legal activity off duty. that is what is so interesting. the courts still found if you fail this drug test regardless of an allegation you were using the drug during working hours. we can still keep our policies intact. the reason for that? the court is finding that because under the federal law and controlled substances act, federal law still qualifies marijuana use as illegal. >> it is illegal there, legal in colorado, illegal for the employers. it's crazy. >> the employees could sue if they are fired after having drugs in their system. >> this is what we're going to be seeing across the
3:50 am
country. with 23 states allowing medicinal marijuana, two states with recreational marijuana, this is going to be a hot button issue this year. that is why we're all looking though that colorado case. that state has extra protection. not only was that a medicinal marijuana case but it has that off duty statute. >> misty, nice to see you this you. thank you. >> do you remember this? remember when harry reid said this about hobby lobby? >> 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 a virtue of five white men. >> of course, justice clarence thomas is not a white man. now reid's hometown paper says his comment was not a mistake. it was race baiting. plus, he traveled around the world saving monster fish. we'll see where he goes next.

the white house by passing congress and trying to win over the nation's governors to help fix the border crisis. peter doocy is live in washington. what happened behind closed doors this weekend? >> reporter: now the white house is leaning on governors in states where the 57,000 unaccompanied immigrant children are staying to support the president's plan for reforming immigration system. hhs secretary met with dozens of those governors in nashville yesterday because right now the health and human services department is required to take care of these children and find them relatives to stay with. but nobody is check to go see if the relatives are legal and governors are spending a lot of money to put them up. in fact, democratic colorado governor came out of that meeting and said this, quote, our citizens already feel burdened by all kinds of challenges. they don't want to see another burden come into their state. however we deal with the humanitarian aspect of this, we've got to do it in the most
4:05 am
cost effective way possible. as for republicans, some now think the best bet is securing the border with the national guard. texas governor rick perry said that can be done for a lot less than the $3.7 billion the president wants. >> here is his opportunity to truly lead. don't blame this on anyone. be a leader. lay out a plan and i will suggest to you -- actually the president doesn't have to have this big amount of money. he could pick up the phone today, called the dod and direct them to have the national guard troops on the border. >> reporter: 46% of those undocumented immigrant kids aren't showing up for their deportation hearings. back to you. >> all right. peter doocy live in washington, d.c., now let's bring in donald trump. he joins us every monday morning at this time. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> what do you make of this? there is a reporter at abc news, pierre thomas, got a rare interview with eric holder and mr. holder, the attorney
4:06 am
general, said he will not appoint a special prosecutor because the people at the f.b.i. are doing such a bang up job investigating this. okay. we've seen through the judicial watch freedom of information release, there has been a lot of juicy stuff. yet the department of justice is saying there is no criminality and our investigators headed up, by the way, by barbara bosserman, a political donor to barak obama, they're all doing a bang up job. >> that everything is a okay. what do you think about that? >> shocking. the e-mails and you say there was a breakdown and we just can't find them. they're very recent and lots of bad statements that they found were really terrible statements, what lois lerner said. it really sounds very criminal and very dangerous and you would think that somebody would want to go after that. that's big deal. it is not getting much coverage. you look outside of fox, it's not getting much coverage.
4:07 am
normally can you imagine a republican conservative in that position? they would have been out of office and you know where they would be right now. >> bosserman contributed $5,600 to president obama's campaign during 2008 and 2012 election cycles here. doesn't sound as though she would have nonopinion in this case. does it sound that way to you? >> it's amazing that this is not the story that it should be. this is a massive story. this is a watergate-type story. this is not being covered like watergate, that we know. >> and it wasn't even good enough for abc to put it on the air. they cut it out of their on line interview and on air and it only ended up being printed at one point in an abc news article. but they cut it out. but they did include his comments about dismissing sarah palin's calls for impeachment. they thought that was good enough to put in the air. what do you make of that? >> they did. that was put on in a very nasty way and i thought it was a
4:08 am
pretty tough statement about sarah. she's making a point and it's a point whether you like it or not. it did not get much coverage and that's something that also should have gotten much coverage. there are more and more people that are going along with what sarah palin is saying. it's a very unfair double standard. it is not surprising that the irs situation is such a serious thing and it's getting so little coverage. it's incredible. i have a feeling that maybe at some point that will be rearing its head. this, they can not get away with. >> you make a great point, nobody is covering it, except fox. and you're talking about it and it's on the radio and it's on the internet. you know, they did see a juicy little tidbit in there where eric holder could bad mouth sarah palin saying she was a lousy candidate for vice president and she's a lousy judge of who ought to be impeached. >> it was a tough statement. i watched that segment and i didn't see about the irs, but i did see that statement and i thought it was a tough
4:09 am
statement. >> somebody had to make the decision to cut that portion of the irs interview out and decide to put the sarah palin chunk in. >> well, if you watch network news, you won't see any of this stuff. you certainly don't see anything or very much about the irs. >> why is that? >> amazingly, you wouldn't think it could be so concerted, but amazingly, they're protecting the president. the networks are protecting the president -- >> is that because they had a -- they helped get him elected and now given the fact that so many have said nothing is working out here, they don't want to be collateral damage? >> you know, as news people, you would think they'd want to go for the big story. the big story is obviously irs and other things. many other things. if you look at all the things that have gone wrong in this country the last number of years. nothing is going right. but they protect. in all fairness to fox, you watch fox and then you turn on
4:10 am
the other stations, the other networks and there is absolutely nothing. you're saying, am i living in a different country? there is nothing. it's not mentioned. >> they're not mentioned and no need for a special prosecutor that they're doing the job well already? we see barbara bosserman and her political donations to barak obama. look at this right here. upwards of almost $6,000 overall. you see $3,600 in 2008 campaign. 2 two in 2012. this is a lot of cash donated to one political party here. when the issue involves conservatives being targeted for their beliefs by the irs when it comes to tax exempt status. this means anyone who has a political leaning was targeted here. in this case it was a conservative. so they have someone who donated to the democraarty, president obama, in fact, leading the investigation? does that sound clean? >> elisabeth, in the old days, they call that, quote, a total conflict of interest and the
4:11 am
person would not be allowed to even get to hear the subject. okay? >> the old days. >> that was a total conflict of interest. and that person wouldn't be allowed to get anywhere near the subject. horrible. what's going on is horrible. what's going on in the country is horrible. things are going very badly for our country. it's an embarrassment. but that's a total conflict of interest obviously. >> let's talk about atlantic city. atlantic city's trump plaza casino closing its doors september 16. >> right. >> but you're not involved in that, right? >> not at all. i got out years ago. atrealdonald trump.com, i have the haters and losers, you have plenty of losers. they say oh, you lost the casino. i got out years ago. there are those who say my timing was incredible. i loved atlantic city. i was there a l. i built three places. what happened is the people that are running it now, the people that have it are closing. atlantic city is under
4:12 am
tremendous competition from other states like pennsylvania and delaware and many, many other places. the market has shrunk. 75% of the casinos have gone or will be going bankrupt in atlantic city. but i got out years ago. so i should get credit, but instead i get scorned. i'm used to it. it's okay. i made a wise decision years ago and it worked out well. but i loved atlantic city. during its hey day it was incredible. >> board walk empire. >> do i get credit? >> absolutely. >> do i get credit -- i get credit for making wise decisions. i invested in manhattan. i invested in lots of good place. >> right after he locks up that golf course in scotland, a week later i see a big article in the "new york times" about how golf courses, distressed golf courses are the future real estate. >> now everybody wants to buy
4:13 am
them and you can't buy them. they're very hard to buy. they're hot product. golf course stuff is hot. anyway. but i appreciate you asking me the question because a lot of people don't understand atlantic city and don't understand -- you know, i made a wise decision a long time ago. so that was great. >> you got out when the getting was good. donald trump joins us every morning at this time. thank you very much. >> thank you very much. >> you were smart in selling doocy's barbecue out there on long island seven years ago. you got out. >> timing is right. >> coming up, remember when harry reid said this about the hobby lobby ruling? >> 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 a virtue of five white men. >> well, this morning the largest newspaper in harry's home state of nevada has something to say about harry reid. you'll hear it next. a ride on his boat was no piece of cake for the cake boss.

justice doesn't blindly subscribe to liberal orthodoxy. glenn cook, senior editorial writer for the journal joins us now. glenn, great to see you this morning. >> thanks for having me. >> so this was no slip of the tongue, in your opinion? >> no, not at all. senator reid has made a habit of saying a lot of outrageous things over the years. but they're not by accident. it's by design. i mention in that editorial, i called him the da vinci of distraction. that's really his best way, i think, to try to lift democrats' prospects in this fall's election is to avoid talking about substantive issues and in particular the policy failures such as obamacare, and trying to change the subject, trying to divide, trying to agitate his base. this comment fits in perfectly with that. >> we hear this from other members of the obama
4:19 am
administration, of course. we also were just talking about attorney general eric holder's discussion about race this morning. he says there is a lot of vehemently angry people out there and those people are probably racist. that's why they're against the president. not because of his policies. they're racist because he's a black president. >> well, senator reid himself last year made a similar suggestion in an interview with the las vegas public radio affiliate here. he kind of phrased it in the form of a question. he said, gosh, i really hope that republican opposition to the president isn't because he's black. they take this constituency for granted, in my opinion. when you look at a lot of the frustration and anger in this country, i don't think it has anything to do with race and i think if you look deep into the numbers, particularly as it relates to unemployment and youth unemployment, things are
4:20 am
much worse for african-americans and hispanics in this country than they are for whites. so i don't understand how anyone can think that whites would be angry with the president because he's black when you look at racial minorities and how they're fairing under his policies. >> black youth unemployment, one of the highest levels it's ever been in this country. it's disheartening under the obama administration's policies. you see by design, what is the end game for harry reid using this type of language? what does he hope to accomplish with it? >> to simply change the conversation. he doesn't want to talk about the democratic policies and their record over the last few years, especially obamacare. so by talking about the koch brothers and injecting race into every opportunities, he can distract from some of the larger issues that the country is more concerned about, particularly the economy. >> glenn cook, senior editorial

4:27 am
want to check your credit card bill that's associated with your account, just scan through it. see if it makes sense. check the credit card bill and then tally that up and do two things. one, even though amazon's current policy, which the ftc wants changed, says no refunds allowed, ask and demand for a refund if that was not an intentional purchase. number two, the ftc has posted now a web site which when you go to the "fox & friends" web site, we linked it out. you fill out a quick form and say yeah, i want my money back from amazon. this is what happened. that's going to apply some pressure, too, and include you in any future decisions that might be made. >> what else do we do in terms of the kids? that's great, 'cause we can get our money back. >> passwords galore. especially when you're a parent. you typically give your password to your kid in the back seat. there is little johnny and sue going at it and there is your credit card bill, separate that. learn to say, my 35sword is

mine -- password is mine and set up a separate one for your parent. >> what about purchasing one? >> you want to set that up so that the owner of the device, which would be mom and dad, can't let everyone download anything. account holder. it was only a month ago that amazon decided okay, okay, we're feeling the pressure of the we'll back off and only account holders can do this, but now the problem is you authorize it for one second, but it's now staying open for an hour. that's another complaint from the ftc. >> how do you turn off the actual option to have those pop-up? >> here is the problem with kindle, if go to our web site, we'll show you, like, for example, this is an older kindle. one of the steps you go through is simply go to menu. a lot of it's intuitive. go to menu, then scroll down. in this particular case you'll scroll down to an area about -- i got to hit the menu here, go
4:29 am
on, and you'll find settings and go to set controls. that will be the key word. >> will you do something for us? >> sure. >> when we get to the parental control in this device, on our web site will you go through the steps for us? >> i will. look at this, on this device, this shows you for each of these you see, there is a new separate way of doing it. so it's not easy. but you got to do this. it's important news for you. >> we're going to show you how. curt, thanks. check out our web site for all that information and get your money back. watch this, a pregnant woman with no choice but to jump from this burning building. her leap of faith, unbelievable. it is up next. and there is a lot going on in this wedding photo. so much that the internet is calling it the worst wedding photo ever. can't even hash tag it. the story behind it straight ahead.

to his new jersey home where he's expected to undergo aggressive outpatient rehab. a nurse was seen arriving at the home yesterday morning around 8:15 and leaving 35 minutes later. his son leaving the house yesterday, told reporters he will address everyone when he's feeling better and he's doing good. >> he had some broken ribs. >> broken rib, severely broken leg. thursday he filed suit against wal-mart, alleging negligence, that they should have known about the driver being up for over 24 hours when the accident occurred. >> it's great he's going home. meanwhile, speaking of going home, it looked for a while on friday night like our friend, buddy, the cake boss, who was here a couple days ago issues looked like he was trying trouble getting home. he was in his boston whaler in new york harbor and then the fog came in. >> sunset cruise was anything but a cake walk, who is on the phone. >> how redoing? >> you managed to make it home? >> i did, i did.
4:38 am
>> what happened? >> i tell you, me and my wife were outside in the yard. it was a beautiful day. we had dinner plans with our friends and we said, why don't we take the boat over to highlands and go eat at a restaurant where you can pull up with the boat and we did. we had a great dinner, it was about 8:30 at night. we were coming home and it was still beautiful. the sun was setting. i got around the sandy hook and i'm driving towards the breaks 'cause they dock in jersey city, and all of a sudden, i didn't see the city, but i thought -- 'cause it was dark, bam. we entered a deep fog where you couldn't see two feet in fronts of you. >> you had to be so scared. >> we were petrified because it was only me and my wife and our friends. it was our children and their children. we had about nine kids on the
4:39 am
boat, plus four adults. i just could not see ten feet in fronts of me. the worst part of it was there was a boat coming towards us and as the boat was coming towards us, i saw him -- i don't know if he saw me. it was like a big vessel and we had to really get out of the way quick. after that i was like, let's call 911. let's get some help. let's get towed in. >> they were able to locate you within ten, 15 minutes. of course, this is such a social media thing to do. after being rescued by the police, buddy tweeted out, next time we go out at night, need to check the forecast, #mywifewantstokillme. does your wife still want to kill you? >> no. you know what? i'm definitely forgiven. i have radar. i have gps on the boat, so i was
4:40 am
going the right way. unless you're in a situation where you really have to rely on those things, you know, you can't figure out what -- i'm uncomfortable doing that. i don't do that all the time. >> especially when cruise liners come through. >> you were right back out the next day? >> actually we did. we went fishing the next day. me and my son. i want to thank the nypd and fdny 'cause they were there in ten minutes. they were so cool. they were great. i definitely wants to bake them a cake. >> i don't blame you. our best to you, cake boss, and your wife, the cake boss' boss. >> thanks. >> glad you're all okay. >> thanks. >> michael at tammero, thanks. people living along the u.s. border with mexico fed up with the immigration crisis. now personally inviting nancy pelosi to the fronts lines to see for herself.
4:41 am
>> come see why your $2 million a mile fence is trashed. >> will nancy pelosi rsvp? we'll ask the ranchers making headlines when they join us live next. and she's one of the best dance coaches in the business. she's also one of the toughest. find out for yourself when she joins us live just ahead. >> not 9 1/2! 8! >> screaming in their faces can get a $1,000 turbocharged reward card with a new volkswagen turbo. so why are we so obsessed with o? !

4:44 am
welcome back. we're back with a fox news alert. panic at the happiest place on earth. tourists trapped inside the monorail. our reporter has breaking detail
4:45 am
s. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. 120 people had to be evacuated off of one train on the monorail system here at disney world. we have photos from that incident that we can show to you. we're using these courtesy of the wall disney world fan site, balddisney world news. the fire department on the property tells us disney, after that storm struck initially tried to reenergize the track and get the train running again. but that didn't work. what you're seeing in these photos is fire crews helping get people off using a platform truck and an aerial ladder to evacuate dozens of guests through a hatch in the roof of that monorail train. here are a couple of tweet from people stranded on the train. lindsey says trapped on a mono rail for almost two hours, but i did get to climb on top of it. eric says, scary to have to climb out of the top of a hatch and walk down several cars. here is the good news. no injuries when this monorail
4:46 am
was halted. no emergencies during the evacuation process. i am told by walt disney world staff that it will be running as usual today. i'm day in a jay, fox news. >> thanks so much. let's send it over to steve now with an interesting story. >> thank you. a pair of arizona ranchers extending an invitation to nancy pelosi to get a firsthand look at what really is happening at the border where they live. >> come see why your $2 million a mile fence is trash. >> we will send a plane for you. we'll make arrangements. you can stay at our house. it's an invite from -- it's sincere. come look at it. >> all right. joining us now are those two arizona ranchers, john ladd and fred davis. all right. fred, we heard from nancy pelosi yet? >> haven't heard a word.
4:47 am
>> you do expect her to get back to you. she did go down to texas to take a look at those kids.ekñ?ñ?ñ?ñ?? obviously, as the lights go out here in the studio, oopsy dai=ñ. obviously she's going to wind up taking you up on your offer, don't you think? >> i doubt it. she wouldn't go to the border when she was texas. we'll see. i hope she comes. >> yeah. john, you're here today. so the people understand that our southern border with mexico, you know, people on the political left have said our border is secure. is that accurate? >> that's absolutely false. it's the biggest lie coming out of washington. my south fence is the international border. >> your south fence is. we just saw a little excerpt. there were a couple of strands of barbed wire and i saw one of you guys put it all together in one hand. anybody could have stepped over that. you could drive through it if you wanted to. >> that's what's happening.
4:48 am
every day. >> fred, how many illegals do you think have gone over your property into the united states illegally? >> there is no way to count. they've caught over half a million that they've documented on john's ranch. >> and john, i -- >> main isn't that high. >> john, i read somewhere that you estimated 2 million illegals have used your backyard to get into this country. >> that's right. going back to what fred said is the number they caught and then you multiply that by four, that's what's come through our ranch in the last 25 years. >> where is the border patrol? >> there is not enough on the border there. they're around. the problem with border patrol is they're controlled by washington. >> they stage most of them up to 80 miles away from the border.
4:49 am
>> so let me get this straight. we got the border patrol people 80 miles from the border? shouldn't the border patrol be on the border? >> that's our thoughts exactly. >> yep. >> what is interesting right now, given these heart breaking images of these kids and being warehoused in this country is the fact that you say that what's happening right now are the drug cartels are essentially diverting attention from their dirty business by using the children right now. explain that, john. >> well, that's right. they're playing on america's humanitarianism. border patrol is challenged with getting all these kids and taking care of them and while they're tied up doing that, they're running drugs right around them. >> sure. fred f where you sit, you've been on the border for years. what's the solution to this problem? >> seal the border.
4:50 am
then we can worry about immigration reform. the border needs to be sealed. they can bring anything they want across the border. these kids are bringing diseases right now, foot and mouth. there is a strain of tb that's drug resistant. terrorists can come across that border at any time right now. they found a koran and a backpack on the fence between me and another rancher. there is lots of people coming that aren't the maids and gardeners that middle america believes are all that are crossing that border. >> that is a good point. it is not just securing the border. it's also a national security issue. john and fred who are ranchers down there in arizona, thank you very much for joining us today from tucson. >> i'd like to say one thing. >> okay, quickly. >> the border is on fire and washington is sending us
4:51 am
gasoline. >> good point. that's a headline. fred and john, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> thank you. what is bowe bergdahl up to those days? he's going back to work. completely unbelievabowl... totally delectabowl. real silky smooth or creamy broths. everything she's been waiting for. carefully crafted with real seafood, real veggies, and never any by-products or fillers. wow! being a cat just got more enjoyabowl. fancy feast broths. wow served daily.
4:52 am
4:53 am
4:54 am
you're fired up about this this morning. bowe bergdahl, just six weeks ago he was released by the taliban and back here in the united states under those controversial circumstances, those five taliban leaders who were sent right back basically to the battlefield, one of which told a relative that he was going to go back and start to fight americans almost immediately. this morning some breaking news on what he's doing and what he's up to. >> defense department actually saying a transfer from the therapy phase to a regular soldier's job, that he could be starting as soon as this morning
4:55 am
is just part of his reintegration back into army life. he's going to live in barracks, have two other soldiers with him by his side to help with the adjustment. >> it's great that he's doing better, but there are a lot of people looking in saying, wait a minute. we already heard from guys he worked with in afghanistan. this guy is a deserter. why isn't he in the midst of a court-martial? apparently he is going to be meeting with the fellow, major general who is investigating whether or not there should be a court-martial. we'll find out if anything happens with that. but we asked you what you thought. we got lots of e-mail. >> that's right. pam in las vegas says this, let me get this straight, military sending pink slips to soldiers on the battlefield, but bergdahl gets to go back on active duty? makes no slip. pink slip him. >> that's a great point. ron writes this on twitter, he will be in the eequivalent of protective prison.
4:56 am
he will be at the army north headquarters in fort sam houston, which is in san antonio. >> charles on twitter says, are the two other soldiers recovering deserters, too? is this the birth of deserters anonymous and pink slips to real soldiers? interesting stuff. as long as he is not been court-martialed and hasn't been released, he can't do interviews. we really won't hear that side of the story, as has been the case with this administration in the past whether it's lois lerner or whether it's the benghazi people, threaten them. don't let them talk. coming up, a neighborhood in a potentially dangerous situation. the invisible problem forcing 100 families to evacuate.

5:00 am
we've got the breaking details from insidep(ñ?ñ?ñ?ñ?ñ the scen. even more democrats not standing by the president's decision to skip a visit to our southern border last week. >> i try to compare it, it's almost like, i don't know, if i went on vacation to san juan, puerto rico, and my wife's aunt was ill in the hospital and i stayed on the beach and i had a pina colada. >> that would be bad. you won't find the president responding to this one. he's on the golf course, of course. move over, diane sawyer. two new anchors breaking on to the scene. >> there is going to be a tornado and a blizzard. so you're going to have to be out of canada, not even in an >> get out of canada. of there. libby norton and her sister, sarah, are here to show us how it's done. i'm going to pay attention 'cause i could learn a few
5:01 am
things. "fox & friends" hour three starts right now. >> is thank is joe piscopo, you're watching the number one morning show in cable news, "fox & friends," i love these guys. >> those kids are adorable. i was reading the preinterview, they say they want to go to the news business because newscasters live in mansions and castles. >> no moat where i live. >> bret baier -- do you believe in a mansion or a castle? >> a palace. >> i think it could be a castle. >> a moat. >> that thing goes on forever, by the way. if you watch it on youtube, it's really funny. >> bret, great to have you. over the weekend, down in washington, d.c., a lot of the political types talking about the president's request for nearly $4 billion to expedite the adjudication of these kids
5:02 am
who are crossing our southern border. it doesn't sound like he's any closer to getting the money, does it? >> it doesn't. there is a lot of pushback. there is a lot of analysis of how this $3.7 billion really breaks down. you heard governor perry over the weekend concerned there is not enough for border security, in addition to what it is therefore housing these kids around the country. you had the hhs secretary meeting with governors and hearing pushback from democratic governors, like john hickenlooper from colorado saying there is real concern state by state that they will eventually be burdened with the cost of taking care of all these kids around the country. >> and some democrats fired up that the president didn't show up to the border in the first place, just saying the optics didn't look good. >> fundraising. >> fundraising instead, that the president really should have come down to the border. listen to some of the democratic response to him missing the
5:03 am
border. >> i wish he would have come to the border. i wish he would have visited mcallen, texas, ground zero for these refugees fleeing central america. i wish he would have come to my district in el paso, where we saw thousands of family members. >> i think of him going to texas and i try to compare it. it's like if i went on vacation to san juan, puerto rico, and my wife's aunt was ill in the hospital and i stayed on the beach and i had a pina colada, and i went to the party, and i didn't go visit my ill aunt, you could say well, louis, it wasn't necessary, you're not a doctor. you don't have the medicine to cure her. i don't think my wife's family would have thought she made a good decision in picking me as a husband. >> the optics not playing very well. >> i got lost in the pina colada on that last story. but the bottom line is that there are a number of democratic representatives speaking out that they really wanted toúñ?ñ?e the president down there. he addressed this in that statement last week from dallas saying this is not theater.
5:04 am
however, there is real concern that he could be taking executive action to deal with this as opposed to changing this 2008 law that really prevents the border patrol from turning those kids away at the border. >> what about -- governor rick perry said hey, i have an idea. i've been asking for it for four years. 1,000 national guard, send them right to the border and send a message visually, since you're not here. let's at least get somebody here. 1,000 national guard to help the job down there and send a message that we're not going to have this anymore. do you think that will happen? >> well, i think it may happen, an increased presence along the border. whether it's all that governor perry wants, i don't know. he's saying the border patrol is back a number of miles and that the visual deterrent of having them on the border would be just that, deterrent. that said, all those central american kids would have to do is turn themselves inzññ?ñ?ñ?ñ?e border patrol agents and under law, we would have to accept
5:05 am
them. so a lot of people on capitol hill believe that in order to get any funding to deal with this crisis, there needs to be a request for the change in the law and that has not come with this funding request which is interesting. >> that would be a good first step. here is governor perry talk being 1,000 guys to the southern border. >> the issue is with being able to send that message because it's the visual of it that i think is the most important. we know that. we listened to the conversations or id say their conversations are being monitored with calls back to central america and it's come on up here. they're cake care of us. -- taking care of us. that needs to stop. >> last week when the president could have been touring the southern border, but instead he was in austin and denver drinking beer with the other governor, rick perry went down and patrolled the rio grande. he was in a chopper with sean hannity. i listened to some of the chat shows, people are talking about rick perry looked very presidential in the handling of
5:06 am
this. his political fortunes must be rising. >> clearly most analysts you talk to say he rehabilitated himself a great deal this past week in just dealing with the crisis from a state level in texas. obviously his failed presidential bid fresh on people's mind, but he is trying to turn that around and most people think he will run again. >> and the president this weekend, of course, golfing. the message there was actually pretty sharp. talk about presence, not at the border and not controlling the big hole there. >> listen, i often don't begrudge any president from getting out outside of the bubble and getting away time. this president does have an issue with the photo ops that are going out. for a white house very concerned about images, many people around this town believe that the images are not that good.
5:07 am
that said, listen, every president has to get out. it's a question of how often. >> not a lot of governors able to take breaks this summer because a lot of governors, even as far away as nebraska, having to deal with the fallout from the border issue, surprisingly. you have a guest -- >> we do. >> we do, coming up in five minutes. dave heineman. they found out that 200 of these illegal kids are suddenly in nebraska. he has no idea where they're at. >> wasn't told. >> i know. hey, do you have a place you can put these kids in nebraska? >> bret, you were talking a moment ago about the white house does not like the images of the president out there. i heard i think jonah goldberg talk being how the lack of media access to these facilities where they're warehousing these children. there was a congressman last week who in oklahoma said, i'm the u.s. congressman for this district, i would like to take a look. the people guarding the place said, come back in three weeks.
5:08 am
it is amazing that the main stream media is not shocked and protesting the lack of access to these things. >> where is the transparency? >> there is a lot of issues with transparency across the board with the administration. but this one on this crisis obviously a lot of people want to see the situation. there are all sides to this issue, humanitarian side about these kids, but a lot of them are being walled off from media access and the question is what happens? what action is going to be taken? senator mccain and others say the first plane load of central american kids heading back to guatemala or ecuador or honduras would stem the tide more than anything else. we'll see if it ever gets to that. >> we'll see. bret baier's got ten hours to prepare for his big show. 6:00 p.m. eastern time here on the fox news channel, thank you very much for joining us from your castle. >> have a good day. >> close the moat.
5:09 am
heather nauert, you have some other headlines for us. a lot happening this morning. >> speak of castles and moat, i've got a story about disney world. a lot of us have been there. it's a fox news alert. there was panic at the happiest place on earth. a powerful storm knocking out power to the monorail at disney world in orlando. 120 tourist, including children, trapped for hours and hours before they were finally forced to evacuate from those monorails. firefighters helped everybody out by climbing through the roof. it will be back open and running later today. happening overnight a mysterious odor forcing 150 people onto the streets. this happening in pen -- pennsylvania. they believe it may be another chemical that's masking their meter. a haz-mat team is currentsly on the scene to try to get a more detailed reading. six weeks after being
5:10 am
released from taliban captivity, in exchange for five gitmo terrorists, army sergeant bowe bergdahl is set to resume active duty possibly as early as today. today's "new york times" is reporting that bergdahl has now finished three weeks of therapy and will begin a job at fort sam houston in san antonio, texas. officials say this is part of a normal reintegration process into army life. we'll keep following that story. riots raging in argentina after the country lost to germany in the world cup. police there firing tear gas and rubber bullets into the crowd. take a look at this. 20 officers were hurt. more than 60 people were arrested. all of this because of a late goal by germany's player. the 22-year-old substitute quickly becoming a hero. this is the country's first world cup in 24 years and the fourth ever. even as they lost, argentina's

today. liberty mutual insurance -- responsibility. what's your policy? you have seen the protests, americans, many, furious with our federal government dropping illegals all over the country. what makes them especially mad? the fact that all of this is happening in secret. thousands of them packed in unmarked airplanes and buses being dropped off in holding facilities or with family members while they await their hearings that they oftentimes don't ever show up for. the latest reports coming from the midwest state of nebraska. the governor joins us right now. he's live in lincoln, nebraska. good morning to you, governor. >> good morning, steve. >> so i understand a couple of days ago your senator found out
5:16 am
what? >> couple days ago, the senator found out that 200 illegal individuals had been sent to our state. no one has been notified us that. so i've been on the telephone the last couple of days, to the department of homeland security, referred me to the secretary of health and human services. we want to know the names of those individuals, who their sponsor is, is their sponsor legal? what communities did you send them to? why are they conducting a secret operation essentially, transporting them all over the country and now we learn to nebraska, and the federal government won't tell us what's going on. hey, i want to help the president here. he said he wants to return them expeditiously. the only way you're going to be able to do that is you got to keep track of them. we need to know who they are. >> sure. so today you're going to formally request the federal government spill the beans. >> well, that's exactly right. again, my entire federal delegation is going to work with
5:17 am
me and if this bill in congress comes up for some sort of debate, i hope the congress will insert language that says governors, mayors, other local elected officials deserve to know when they're sending these individuals to our states. you've already seen, this is bipartisan. the governor of colorado, john hickenlooper, he's already expressing concerns for his state. it's going to happen all over america. i'm concerned it's 200 today. how many is it tomorrow? >> sure. you look at, okay, you see the images of the little kids being warehoused in those abandoned facilities, sleeping under mylar blankets. you want to do what you can. but at the same time, it's like let us know 'cause come the fall, at least 200 of those kids are probably going to be enrolling in nebraska state schools. who is going to pay for that, right? >> well, that's exactly right. i suspect it will be the taxpayers of nebraska. we're concerned about that. i want to emphasize, we're going
5:18 am
to treat these kids humanely as long as we have them. but at the end of the day, the president has already said they need to be returned expeditiously. the only way you're going to do that and why we're concerned is you got to be able to keep track of them. so again, it's a difficult situation right now. but why -- they said they believe in transparency in government. why won't they be transparent on this situation? what are they hiding? >> right. that's the question. what are they.cñ?ñ?ñ?ñ?ñ? hidin? >> well, i don't know. ipçñ?ñ?ñ?ñ?ñ? mean, i can't bela way, because they know the names of the individuals. i've been able to confirm that. they know who they are, where they're sending them. again, they won't tell us whether they're arriving by plane, bus, car. i have no idea and i have no idea what communities they're going to in our state and then again, who is going to foot the bill? in all likelihood, that means legal taxpayers are going to pay for services for illegal
5:19 am
individuals. >> well, today you're putting out the request to the federal government. tell us what you know. let's see if they do that. governor of the great state of nebraska, thank you very much for joining us today from the state capitol of lincoln. >> you're welcome, steve. >> nice having you today. thank you. what do you think about that? e-mail us. they are completely in the dark. coming up, it's called the corridor of death, one of the most dangerous places on earth. so why did one father take his 11-year-old and his nine-year-old children there? they nearly died. you'll hear his defense. when it comes to racing, it's usually the driver that gets all the glory. you're about to meet one of the men he couldn't do it without. a high octane look into the world of nascar coming up. ♪ ♪
