>> and this morning grumpy cat is here unveiling her brand-new video exclusively on "fox & friends," which proves that mornings are better with friends. >> they're better with cats. >> you're watching "fox & friends." that's a great way to begin your day. >> and welcome everybody. live to studio e. brian kilmeade is off. peter johnson is in. grumpy cat is also live in the green room. that's right. >> perfectly seated in our green room right there. >> grumpy cat receives makeup, receives hair this morning and says ready to go, ready to perform for america. >> grumpy cat has a new friend that we're about to meet in a world exclusive. it's oscar, the blind cat. got a pal. stand by for that.

>> everybody's excited in my house too. there's oscar. >> maybe he can ungrumpify him. you never know. >> thank you very much for joining us. we've got a fox news alert to start with. yesterday we told you that bowe bergdahl started his job on base, and today we're finding out that bowe bergdahl, who has been accused of being a deserter has a lawyer. he's all lawrd up. there's -- he's all lawyered up. there is the guy, eugene fidell, a well-known law attorney. he teaches at yell, -- yale, taught at harvard. they met last week in person. >> fox news confirmed they met in person. >> it is good to have peter johnson, a well-known

lawyer. you've been look noog this guy. what about him? >> mr. fidell is one of the founders of the national institute of military justice. one of the interesting things about him is that he's kind of created a career on his own in terms of putting in amicus briefs to court of appeals. amicus means a friend of the court brief. he's been a friend of the court trying to protect the right of so-called terrorist detainees, enemy combatants. in several cases, the hamdan case, and others, he's spoken out on behalf of detainees, enemy combatants, at guantanamo bay. >> he's been -- he is used to working against the u.s. military complex? >> he's expert on military law, but his institute has made it one of its specialties to put in these amicus briefs on behalf of

detainees, on behalf of enemy combatants at guantanamo bay. in fact, he helped overturn the military commissions act here in the united states supreme court. he's an activist lawyer in every respect. >> fascinating choice here. >> it is an interesting choice. >> in terms of what may come, in terms of perspective. peter, that is insightful. glad to have you right by our side. >> one other tidbit, his wife is a well known former "new york times" reporter. there she is right there, linda greenhouse for years covered the court, u.s. supreme court and other courts for "the times." a well-known and well-respected journalist but also known in some quarters as a liberal journalist. there have been some reports in the past that criticized ms. greenhouse for not revealing her husband's relationship in cases she covered including the enemy combatant detainee cases in which he put in an amicus brief,

friend of the court brief. more to come on this. a lot of questions. >> a lot of questions surrounding this. at the pentagon, the spokesperson answered questions as it relates to bergdahl's restrictions. will he be able to fly? will he be able to travel? is he a flight threat? this is what he had to say. >> are there restrictions on his movement given the ongoing investigation? >> no. he's an active-duty army soldier. just like any active-duty army soldier, he's free to leave base. he's not under any particular restrictions. i would remind you, he's not been charged with anything. there's allegations, but just having allegations posed against you in the military doesn't restrict your freedom of movement or place you in any kind of restricted status just by the nature of somebody alleging wrongdoing. there will be a fair, complete, comprehensive investigation into the circumstances surrounding his departure from that base and then we'll move on

from there. >> you could say he's a flight risk -- >> he's under no restrictions. there is simply an ongoing investigation into the circumstances surrounding his departure. thanks everybody. >> the rear admiral, i think, was appropriately pointing out the importance of due process. there is a 60-day investigation that began june 16. perhaps there will be some resolution by the middle of august. major general kenneth dahl is leading the investigation for the army. >> in the meantime bowe bergdahl is free to roam about and he's got a job. a lot of people say he's a deserter and shouldn't. we're going to talk to tony shaffer, military guy for many years, about that. in the meantime, the other top story is the fact that we've got this invasion across our southern border of all these illegals. many are children. the president has said he wanted congress to act, and they're having a briefing tonight on a bipartisan bill. as it turns out, harry reid

will not support this bill by henry cuellar, a democrat of texas, and john cornyn, a republican of texas, that would essentially speed up the deportation of these kids. harry reid is of the opinion that these kids are refugees, that we should slow things down. let's have more money. we don't necessarily need to secure the border because extraordinarily that border down on the rio grande, nobody can get across it. right, harry? >> he says they were smuggled -- >> for me, no, i won't support it because i've been told the cornyn-cuellar legislation covers a lot of other issues. remember, had we done comprehensive immigration reform, would he wouldn't be having this issue. and everyone here, the border is secure. >> it's sounding -- wait a

second. the border is secure? are you on medication? >> not enough. >> harry reid saying the border is secure, you've got to wonder whether he's really on his medication or not. that is -- we saw at the beginning of the show the report from john roberts. how many do we have now? 16,000 theeft kids who come -- 16,000 at least kids who come over and we are helpless. >> what a conundrum. at 5:30 today we have all 500 lawmakers gathering for this bipartisan offering of a bill. yet harry reid before he walks in says, no, i'm not going to play. and in fact, the border is secure. >> in terms of asylum, in terms of providing relief to so-called refugees as senator reid describes them, it appears to be the quickest, best solution affording those children an opportunity within seven days to be said, yes, you are a refugee, or no, you're not a refugee and you should go back.

seems like a good deal for everybody. >> within 72 hours a judge would have to make a decision. >> absolutely right. >> and they're in h.h.s. custody for all that week. >> protected. >> the interesting thing is there is now gridlock on capitol hill. it's harry reid versus some democrats. just getting good. meanwhile nine minutes after the top of the hour. heather joins us for more double duty today. she was on the 5 a.m. show. once again today the 6, 7 and 8. >> always great to be with everybody. hope you're off to a great day. listen to this. this guy says he was looking for katy perry. now he's looking for a very good lawyer. peter, can you help out with this one? overnight police arrested this guy. he broke into the kennedy compound in hyannis port, massachusetts. the suspect is 53-year-old james lecroix. police said they found him inside ted kennedy jr.'s kitchen. ted wasn't home but his 16-year-old son was. when ted called to check on

his son, lecroix answered the phone. police say he was able to get into the house through an unlocked door. he was apparently inside that house, police believe, for three hours before he was busted. the white house defying a congressional subpoena this morning. the president's senior advisor will not be appearing in front of congress today. david sema was supposed to testify on potential violations of the hatch act. the hatch act prevents government employees from using their office for campaign-related activities. the white house insists that there is no evidence of wrongdoing. former secretary of state henry kissinger recovering after having heart surgery. kissinger who served under presidents ford and nixon had his a or -- his aortic valve replaced. >> listen to this one.

this is interesting what germany is looking at doing or so they say. if you don't want other states to spy on you, use a type writer. politicians say they're thinking about using manual typewriters for sensitive documents and seriously considering ditching e-mail altogether. this of course after the germans learned the n.s.a. tapped german chancellor angela merkel's cell phone. and those are your headlines. >> seeing the type writer reminds me of typing class in high school. 70 words per minute, 25 errors. thank you very much. last week the president of the united states made it very clear he hates photo ops. yet yesterday he was just outside washington, d.c. there he is right there in a car simulator at a highway research center. and he was promoting different things regarding our depleted highway trust fund and what not. he said he had a great time

behind the wheel of a fake car right there. but nonetheless, that's a photo op. our own fox reporter asked about the president who doesn't like photo ops being part of them. >> the president said he didn't like photo ops and he seems to be having a pretty good time. >> i think what the president's concern is people who put photo ops ahead of finding solutions to problems. if there is an opportunity for the president to appear at a photo op that will reenforce the value of the opinion the president put forward the president won't hesitate to participate. >> or perhaps the value that could not be on his mind is the border. >> the road. >> i didn't see border patrol. he wasn't getting pulled over. any way, the president doesn't like photo ops unless, i guess, they're helpful. >> or on instagram or twitter. coming up, it's the worst case of customer service

ever. >> can you help me understand why you don't want faster internet. >> help me understand why you can't just connect us. >> this morning comcast is responding. wait until you hear what they have to say. >> how would you like to earn $6,000 a month? all you've got to do is welcome an illegal alien child into your home. find out how you can qualify coming up. ♪ ♪ woooo. i know what you're thinking. you're thinking beneful.

>> how are you? >> i'm okay but a little puzzled. bowe bergdahl has been accused by his platoon mates as being a deserter. he left a note said he was disillusioned, didn't like the u.s. mission in afghanistan, and he's going to take off. it seems to me he probably shouldn't be loose at this point. >> steve, you're actually correct. bergdahl has done as much damage in my estimation as did p.f.c. bradley manning. we all know manning sat in quantico during the time they ran an investigation. the idea of bergdahl being free to go and come, come and go is totally insane. what your audience may not understand is ncis, naval criminal investigation service did an investigation on this in 2009 when he walked away. the reason that report is not being highly touted is because it basically confirmed what his platoon mates just said. and so, there's clear probable cause to restrict him to at least quarters

probably even more severe than that. >> if there's evidence to keep him under lock and key rather than out and about where he can go anywhere, you know, who is to say he's going to stay on base or stay in the country, why is he free? >> my judgment is that it's a political narrative issue from the white house. if you recall, steve, the president himself welcomed the bergdahl family to the white house and they down played his, quote unquote, bad acts. i think what you're seeing here -- and this investigation can go any number of ways that they're conducting. 56 is considered an informal investigation, quote unquote. the question now becomes what is the political narrative that may be the pressure point that is on the military to come up with a certain course. it may go against the very facts. that's the issue right now. >> the fellow who is doing the investigation right now, this general dahl, is a friend of yours. you say he's an upstanding, terrific investigator. but what he's going to do with his findings is give them to his bosses and they

don't have to stand by them, do they? >> a lot has to do with the investigator you assign. i've seen them assign hack divorce attorneys to come after people who had no clue what they were doing. dahl is not in that category. dahl is a competent guy who, by my friends' accounting who worked with him, will do the right thing here. the question becomes what happens after the investigation? this is considered, it is considered an informal investigation. those results go to the commanding officer and they decide what they want to accept or not accept out of that investigation. >> it seems like a slam dunk case because you just pointed out there's already been a criminal investigation and there's evidence against the guy. this would seem to be pretty easy. >> one would think. it is never easy. let's remember two things about the current situation. this is the ucmj, uniform code of military justice. you have the administrative side and criminal side. this could get kicked over

to the criminal side. i believe it should based on the evidence i know. then the outcome has to be determined by the chain of command. in a normal criminal court you have a grand jury and everything else. it is different in the military. >> tony shaffer trying to show us what's going on behind the scenes. thank you for joining us from washington. thank you, sir. 20 minutes after the top of the hour. up next, what would you give to someone to save your cash on your next flight? how about trading your seat for this ride? it's the future of flying. you've got to hear about it. it kind of looks like a bicycle. then amelia earhart is -- yes, you heard it right. guess what she did. she just flew around the world. not kidding. ♪ ♪ [ yodeling plays ] ♪

to. my mom said she wanted to give me a name nobody would ever forget and i think that worked. >> one of those people is you obviously because you take your namesake carefully into consideration here. was that a lot of pressure? >> absolutely. it took me a lot of time to grow into the name. until i was 18 it was tough. you get teased a lot. i get asked every single day are you a pilot? i thought i better take a flight lesson. now i have been flying for ten years. my cockpit is my favorite place to be. >> were you getting teased when you were a traffic reporter? >> yes especially since i was in a helicopter. >> you flew a single-engine plane? is that right? >> we did. we flew a single engine turbo prop, beautiful airplane and great plane to finish the flight. it got all the modern technology with a real hand flying operation across the atlantic. we hand flew it for eight

hours between brazil and senegal. beautiful experience. >> what does it mean to give such meaning again to this name? >> i'm reminded every single day what legacy amelia left and it was all about having a personal passion for adventure, getting out there and challenging the boundaries. having this name has led me down such an adventurous path. this is my life's goal. i'm 31 years old so i'm sure i'll do other things in flight. when i cross over holland island it was special. we handed out scholarships to young girls who get to learn how to fly in honor of the first amelia. >> that must be the fly with amelia foundation? >> exactly right. i started that because it was difficult for me to learn to fly. it's very expensive. so i wanted to give young girls at the high school opportunity -- high school level the opportunity to learn when they have all that enthusiasm. >> congratulations and our best to your copilot as

well. that's great. >> great accomplishment. >> and a great cause. >> no kidding. 28 minutes after the top of the hour. coming up, would you like to make $6,000 a month just for staying at home? well, you can if you welcome an illegal into your house. could be one of those kids. we're going to tell you all about it. >> and her name is grumpy cat, but she's really happy about being on "fox & friends" today. >> how can you tell? >> you're about to find out why. i spoke to grumpy cat. >> the cat whisperer. >> happy birthday to will ferrell. he turns 47 years old he turns 47 years old today.

the border crisis continues and a new poll shows the majority of americans disapprove of how president obama is dealing with immigration. of course those numbers could change if he lets more people into america. >> sad but true. you know, we've heard from the government, you know, people are concerned about where are they keeping all these kids. we've heard a lot of them are being placed with families. when i heard that, i figured that means they've got relatives here in the united states. actually maybe not, because there is an ad that has been running in a number of papers across the country looking for families to take in some of these illegal immigrant children. and if you do that, you could -- and you keep them for a year, you could actually make north of

$70,000 a year taking care of some of these illegals. >> that's right. a family services in orange county placed this ad in penny saver asking for a foster family to take in illegal immigrants, $6,054 a month. the final reimbursement is based on size of home, age of kids. the ad is running in california. incentivizing taking illegal children into your home. >> the federal government has requests for proposals in the sum of hundreds of millions of dollars for the same kind of be provided, because we don't have anywhere to put these children except military bases. >> i was reading on-line one of the stories about this and one of the bloggers said essentially this has become taxpayer-subsidized foreign invasion. the crittendon family foster center that placed the ad put this statement

out. it is my understanding that many foster family agencies in california will recruit potential foster families throughout this outreach platform. that's what they said. one other thing about this money, up to $6,000 and change per month, it's tax-free. you do have to undergo a -- >> interesting. >> yeah, tax-free. do you have to undergo a background check, some sort of criminal background check. you have to go to four saturday classes to learn how to be a parent, a foster parent essentially. when asked about, what about health care for the kids, they go that's taken care of. the federal government will provide that. >> we'll talk about that later. >> any way, great deal. >> a lot of other things happening this morning. we want to bring you heather nauert. >> on a related note, we send to mexico every year, money you may not be aware

of. did you know that the united states spends millions of dollars training mexico's military, and your taxpayer dollars are covering it? overnight we learned the united states spent $15 million last year to train the military there. that is a $3 million increase from the year before. that training is supposed to help mexico fight the war on drugs and organized crime there. in order to get food stamp customers to eat healthier food the usda is considering giving them free movie tickets, one new idea the government has. more than 47 million americans are currently on food stamps and the government wants them used on fruits and vegetables instead of junk foods and other kinds of junk they might buy. other ideas they're considering to promote healthy eating include talking shopping carts and better lighting for vegetables. okay. >> more cramped and uncomfortable airline seats may be coming your way if you fly on an airbus made

plane. airbus submitted a patent for retractible bike-style seats. look at this thing. hard to imagine how you can sit on that. airbus acknowledges that is not exactly a passenger-friendly design. the aish's bicycle seats would be like -- the airbus bicycle seats would be like a folding seat in a ballpark. that things like pretty uncomfortable but airbus says we file for lots of patents every year so this wouldn't necessarily be in an airplane. nevertheless, they're considering it. >> if it were an actual bicycle you could get a workout on a cross country flight. >> not comfortable. >> let's go out to the streets of new york city. maria molina back in town after the all-star break. she looks at the weather at 48th and 6th avenue. >> good morning. a little bit of siren activity here in new york city, very typical sound of the big city. i want to take you to the

to go to the emergency room. it is when we're the busiest. a lot of times people think i'll go to the e.r., 6:00 at night, everyone is having dinner, no one is going to be there. false. the best time to go to the e.r. is between 3 a.m. and 9 a.m. that is when we're statistically the slowest. i would say between the 7 and 8:00 hour because the nursing shift changes around 7 a.m. so you've got people with fresh legs rather than those who stayed up all night. >> what about calling 911 where should we do that from? >> from a land line. when you call from a land line the 911 dispatcher sees your address flash on the screen. a cell phone will take about 25 seconds to locate and location isn't as precise. call from a land line. >> a lot of people think if they call an ambulance they'll get seen more quickly. true? >> false. what we do in the emergency department is triage our patients. we give you a number one through five depending on how serious your medical problem is.

if you're a five you're going to get seen last. if you call the ambulance for a stubbed pinky toe we're not going to put you in the front of the line. save the ambulance for emergencies. we'll send you to the waiting room even if you do call the ambulance. >> what about we can only do so much? what does that mean? >> i see this all the time where i work because we don't treat children or we don't take care of babies. , specialize in babies. you need to know what your hospital specializes in so you know where to go in case of emergency. >> we don't believe you; explain. >> i see a lot of patients whose symptoms don't quite match up to their actions in the exam room. for example, if you tell me you're nauseous and you're eating a slice of pizza from the cafeteria, i don't necessarily believe that you're nauseous. i believe you want a work note is what i believe.

so i wanted to make the most of this milestone birthday and then, too, just with it involving dance, which is a passion of mine and always has been, and then also just a childhood dream of growing up to be a professional cheerleader. all of those things wrapped into one. it just fit for me and felt good. i felt like i should go for it. >> when you say w t.d. -- pkd, that's kidney disease. what does your family say about this great event in your life? were they cheering you on? >> they are definitely cheering me on. i have a house full of boys. i'm the only girl in the house, so i do get to be the diva, and that's find. but i'm completely outnumbered when it comes to sporting events. so luckily i love the saints. it's an absolute pleasure. they're sports fanatics and saints fanatics and they're so excited that their mom is doing this. >> are they excited because the mom is doing this or because

they get free tickets now? >> i don't know. i can't get that out of them. i think it's probably the free tickets because, of course, when i first told my oldest that i was auditioning, he just got a grin across his face. it came across really slow and he said, we're going to the game. and i was like, i haven't made thednñ?ñ?ñ?ñ?ñ team yet. herj like, oh, mom, you're going to make it and we'rea?ñ?ñ?ñ?ñ?o those games. >> awesome! >> how much fun is that? any risk at all when you're out there cheering? >> yes, i do have to watch myself. i'm under a doctor's care and i follow instructions very well and i have for years. i see a doctor every few months. i take my medication and i just do what he says. any questions that i have or concerns, they take care of it for me and they're monitoring me and so it's going to be fun. it will be a blast.

watching "fox & friends." >> welcome. brian kilmeade off today. peter johnson, jr. is in and it's a perfect day to have a lawyer in the seat, isn't it? >> sure is. peter johnson, jr., always great to see you and thanks for starting your day with us here. we have a fox news alert for you. "fox & friends" confirming that bowe bergdahl has hired a civilian lawyer. we spoke to the lawyer earlier, declined to come on of the with you we found out information here. that they spoke as late as last week and that they actually met in person. that lawyer is eugene fidel and peter johnson, jr., we understand you have some interesting information. >> he's a coast guard veteran, but also a co-founder of something called the national institute of military justice. he's been active in preparing so-called amicus briefs to the united states supreme court. it's friend of the court brief. he's been a friend of the court with regard to the issue of enemy combatants.

he has spoken out to the supreme court on behalf of detainees at guantanamo bay and submitted a brief that helped derail the military commission's act here in the united states. so he's been a proponent of rights for enemy combatants detainees in guantanamo bay in the past. he's a well-known military justice lawyer and obviously an outspoken advocate for the issues that he thinks are important. >> sure. we understand as well at yale where he now works, he teaches military justice. he teaches about disasters and gitmo, interestingly enough, to your point. >> yes. he's an expert on gitmo and his wife is linda greenhouse, well-known and respected reporter. but also known in some quarters as a liberal reporter. so it's an interesting choice that mr. bergdahl has made going forth in this particular case.

>> the investigation is why bergdahl walked off base early on. we said there is proof he walked off willingly. we heard from platoon mates there. they call him a deserter. so yesterday the pentagon was facing some harsh questions there. is he restricted in terms of travel? is a flight threat? this is what they had to say. >> there is allegations, but just having allegations posed against you in the military doesn't restrict your freedom of movement or place you in any kind of restricted status by the nature of somebody alleging wrongdoing. there will be a fair, complete, comprehensive investigation into the circumstances surrounding his departure from that base and then we'll move on from there. >> could say he's a flight risk. >> he's under no restrictions. there is simply an ongoing investigation into the circumstances surrounding his departure. >> thanks, everybody. >> additionally, in the first

hour of "fox & friends," we had tony schaefer on, also worked for the c.i.a. he said that a couple years ago, they already completed a criminal investigation into mr. bergdahl's disappearance. keep in mind, they did find the letter. he wrote about how he was disillusioned with the military mission in afghanistan and he had had enough and he was going to walk off base. tony also said that this particular fellow, bowe bergdahl, has done as much damage as a guy like bradley manning. here is mr. schaefer. >> bergdahl has done as much damage as did bradley manning. we all know manning sat in quantico during the time they ran an investigation. the idea of bergdahl being free to go and come as admiral kirby said is totally insane. naval criminal investigative service did an investigation on this in 2009 when he walked away. the reason that that report is not being highly touted is because it basically can confirm

what his platoon mates just said. so there is clear probable cause to restrict him to at least quarters, probably even more severely than that. >> so it seems like there is a double standard. bradley manning they keep in the brig. bowe bergdahl, they let him have a desk job and he's free to go. >> no restrictions. >> none. turning our attention to the border, the president saying congress do something. today at 5:30, all lawmakers will get together for a briefing on this bipartisan bill we told but yesterday coming from john cornyn out of texas and henry cuellar out of texas. they both put together this bill to really consolidate the process for illegal children who are coming in here to about a week plus 72 hours where a judge would make a decision on them. they say this is a bipartisan effort. we should be getting ready to take care of this. this is a positive, productive way of doing it. everyone is getting together. but harry reid, on the other hand, he's saying, look, why are we doing this? i'm not going to play. i'm rejecting this already and

you know with a? the border is secure. >> from all the reports i've gotten on the legislation, the answer from me is no, i won't support it. i have been told the legislation covers a lot of other issues other than the problem at the border. remember, had we done comprehensive immigration reform, we wouldn't be having this issue. and everyone here, the border is secure. >> commentator and sage charles krauthammer really began to question the lucidity of senator reid. here is what he had to say. >> when you got harry reid saying the border is secure definitively, you've got to wonder whether he's really on his medication or not. i mean that, is so detached from reality, we just saw at the beginning of the show the report from john roberts. how many do we have now?

60,000 at least kids who have come over and we're completely helpless. >> we are completely helpless. the white house now, even though this is a mess of their own making because you couple this with the 2008 bill which allowed into this country victims of sexual abuse from honduras and guatemala and el salvador and then the president talking about the dreamers, come on in. you're going to be able to stay here forever, so the message was come on down. you got harry reid who sees that even though the president's poll numbers are tanking over this issue, he's siding with the far left of his party and the immigration rights activists. he doesn't want anything changed bill wise regarding the law. just wants more money to essentially keep them here. >> many withinz÷ñ?ñ?ñ?ñ?ñ? the n speaking up and saying, look, the president should have been at the border. something's got to be done, voicing a separation within the party regarding this. >> but the good news is the border is secure. thank you, mr. reid. eight minutes after the

hour. a developing story, police just busted an intruder. fox news alert. this intruder apparently broke into the famed kennedy compound. >> joining us live from hyannis port is our reporter. >> reporter: yeah, a big scare in hyannis port. a lot of questions this morning about how an intruder managed to get into the historic kennedy compound in broad daylight. it was around 9:30 last night when police got a call from a man saying that he owns the irving avenue home, report ago suspected intruder. that caller now believed to be teddy kennedy, junior. he had just called to check in on his teenage son when a strange man answered the phone, identifying himself as james la croix. right away officers were sent to the compound. they found a black vehicle parked in the driveway and an intruder in the kitchen as well, who then again identified himself as 53-year-old james la

croix. when they questioned him to why he was there, he told police that he was looking for singer katy perry. we want to point out, we do not know of any link between katy perry and the kennedys. we know taylor swift dated a kennedy cousin two summers ago. afterwards officers launched a larger investigation. they questioned several arrived at 6:30 that night, broad daylight. this morning, that man is being held in court facing a number of charges, including breaking and entering. but again, a lot of security questions about how this intruder managed to get into this kennedy compound in broad daylight. back to you in the studio. >> joy, we thank you very much. >> scary stuff. >> sure. you call your house and captain america picks up the phone. hello? >> that was his t-shirt there. >> is katy perry here. >> she's on tour. >> crazy. ten minutes after the hour. heather nauert joins us with a whole bunch of otherews.

>> you don't want the faster speed. help me understand why you don't want faster internet? >> i don't understand why you can't disconnect us? >> why not keep what you know works? >> because we're not doing that. so please proceed. >> you don't want good service, you tonight's want something that works? >> i guess i don't want something that works. >> so why don't you want something that's good service and something that works? >> i mean, is this like a joke? >> wouldn't you ask, is this a joke? right? this morning comcast, the cable company, is apologizing to that customer who tried to have his service disconnected. that company admitted that they didn't act properly. they say that they are embarrassed by that employee. if his tone had been a little friendlier, he would be getting kudos saying great salesmanship. >> if he had made the sale. >> exactly. >> way to go. >> thank you very much. heather will be going over into our customer service area.

when our attorney general eric holder appeared on abc this week program, he was not asked on air about the irs'ññ?ñ?ñ?ñ?ñ. thi"ujráe two judges one deadlinefañ?ñ?ñ?ñ?ñ? for inforn before ordered days before. in fact, the scandal has only been mentioned in the mainstream media once since that order was issued on page 17 of the "new york times" on friday. so does this lack of coverage have any impact on why holder refuses to appoint a special prosecutor or special investigator? joining us right now to react is the attorney representing many of the targeted tea party groups. good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. >> so in that interview that abc selectively aired parts of it, eric holder said that the f.b.i. agents and his investigators are doing a good job. would you agree with that? >> well, it's hard to tell. i have talked to them.

they called me the day that i submitted testimony to congress in february saying that the department of justice investigation was a sham. that afternoon they called me and i have talked to them. i met with them and when i say them, i mean two attorneys from the department of justice, barbara bosserman was one of them and a couple of f.b.i. agents and a couple from the treasury inspector general. i have spoken with the lawyers for other clients -- there are three lawsuits filed against the irs over the irs targeting scandal. and as near as i can tell, the only people that the department of justice has contacted are the lawyers for those groups as opposed to the hundreds -- there are hundreds of organizations. to my knowledge, they have made little effort to reach out and really talk to all the victims, all of them. >> because a lot of them don't have attorneys and so they haven't reached out to the

attorneys. what's curious is you got to actually sit down face-to-face with barbara bosserman who is heading up the department of justice investigation into whether or not the irs targeted tea party groups. she's the same person who many have labeled a political hack because even though she's a career litigator for the department of justiceofñ?ñ?ñ?ñ?e oney in the past to barak obama and otherínñ democrats. >> well, it's very disturbing. she did sit through my conversation with the department and what was interesting to me is i mentioned one of the things i referenced was a phone call, conference call in february of 2012 after hundreds and hundreds of groups received these very ownerus, oppressive questionnaires with the case of true to vote, had 119 questions. and so there was a national conference call talking about that. the only question she really asked in her whole interview,

was, well did you have lib vertebral groups on the phone with you? and i said, well, no. first of all, they didn't get those questionnaires and secondly, this was a group of conservative tea party -- this was the network of tea party groups. but the fact that she believed that liberal groups received those questionnaires was stunning to me because they did not receive those. >> sure. >> ohm the conservative groupsh? got those. >> that makes it look like the person in charge of the investigation

overcome that bias on their part. >> no kidding. cleta mitchell who represents a number of the tea party organizations targeted by the irs, which the irs has already apologized for doing, shouldn't really been doing that, thank you very much for giving us background on what's going on. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. 20 minutes after the top of the hour. coming up, have you heard of the criminalization of parenthood, like getting arrested if your kid skips church or you let play on thewxñ?ñ?ñ?ñ?ñ? playground a? it's happening. but what are the parents'gvñ?ñ?? rights? judge alex on that coming up next. and are you still looking for love? the best way to get real chemistry may actually be a match to your dna. ♪ ♪

>> thank you. moms and dads, beware, there seems to be a tougher push to criminalize parents. from a work mother arrested for letting her nine-year-old play alone in the park near her job to an ohio dad in trouble with the law after his son played hooky from church and a first of its kind case in tennessee where a new mom is facing assault charges after her newborn tested positive for meth. >> are authorities crossing the line or should these parents be held accountable? here to break down these cases is judge alex, host of "judge alex." how you doing this morning? >> good. how are you? >> good. let's talk about the first one. a work mom arrested for the nine-year-old playing alone in the park. mom dropped off the nine-year-old in the park and then arrested. what's that about? >> it's unfortunate because, first of all, i would never drop my nine-year-old at the park alone. i don't even like the idea of my 24-year-old being alone. but i have options, as a lot of people do. this woman is work at mcdonald's.

her daughter was hanging out at mcdonald's playing on a laptop all day while she was working and somebody broke into their house and stole it. she took her to a popular park w a splash pad, 40 kids there. she let her spend the day playing while she went to work. on the third day a parent asked her which was her mom and she said my mom is at work and they called the police and arrested the mother. whether you agree or disagree with letting your child play at the park unsupervised, it's tremendous overreach, if it was a bad park and a bad part of town and you think you shouldn't be doing that and the police have a justifiable reason to say this is endangering the child, at the most they should have warned the mother and said look, this is a bad part of up to, the kids aren't there all time. not arrest her. >> so you don't like that arrest? >> no, i don't like that at all. now she's got a criminal record. >> there was a photo of her. what about the second story? outside of ohio, jeffrey williamson faces up to six months in jail, lost his job

after his son skipped church and went to play instead. >> this is ridiculous. absolutely ridiculous because the kid is here every wednesday and sunday. they go to church on a church bus that pulls up in front of their house and all his kids go out together and say dad, we're going to church and hop in the bus. in this particular day, they ran outside and one decided not to hop on the bus and he went off to play and ended up in a dollar store. they called the police because the kid was alone at the dollar store. the police came, arrested the father in this case. that is absolutely ridiculous. the father did nothing wrong. this is a matter for discipline for the parents, not for the state to get involved and say what, you should be walking your church out the front door to the bus that's right in front of the house? at most, if you claim the father is negligent, which i don't think he was, then it's negligence. it's not a criminal act. okay? that is huge overreaching, in my opinion, from the police.

>> where is the line, judge, between having common sense and actually turning something into a criminal case? >> i wish there was a bright line and there is no bright line test. when you start -- for some reason, legislators seem to think that they know better than everybody and that because they were elected, they should be mandating everything we do. a lot of times we're picking the lesser of two evil. to let them tell you how to parent and to criminally charge somebody and give them a record for this kind of behavior, it's not like the mother in the first instance was dropping the kid off at the park so she could go home and get high on heroin and sleep all day. she was trying to make ends meet like so many other people and trying to keep her daughter entertained and not have her sit there like a prisoner at mcdonald's. >> judge alex on the mommy and daddy state gone wild. we'd like to hear what you're thinking at home as well. >> that's right. let us know on e-mail, twitter,

so what did rogers do? he tracked down the suspect's silver car at a nearby apartment complex and he even found a piece of his bike stuck in the grill of the car. police eventually went on to arrest the driver and they charged her with a misdemeanor hit and run. nice police work that he did for himself. and he might be small, but this morning a three-year-old is being called a giant hero. listen to what happened here. a 68-year-old, bob king, was trapped in his car after his doors automatic low locked and it was very hot out that day. he was too weak to open the door with the temperatures quickly rising in the hot tennessee sun. he started banging on the window, hoping to catch someone's attention. three-year-old keith williams was walking by and then he grabbed an adult to help. listen. >> you know, i don't know how long he had been, i'd say if had been another 20 minutes sitting in there if he hadn't notified

in debt. so with 7 million americans having defaulted on that debt, it's no wonder many company companyies -- persons are turning to companies like this. >> if you're still paying on student loans, then get ready for a special announce am. your entire student loan can be forgiven. you heard correctly. free information on how you can potentially have the remainder of your student loan debt co forgiven. >> this morning there is a warning about debt selling companies. generally what do you need to know? joining us is personal finance expert and author of "smart money, smart kids" rachel cruz. good morning, rachel. >> good morning, peter. thanks for having me on. >> what do students need to look out for? what do people need to look out for who are in debt? >> the big thing is these companies promise a lot. so if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. there is no quick fix to paying

off student loan debt. so if it sounds too good to be true, it is. that's number one. number two, if they're asking for large fees and up front costs, be sure that you stay away from those 'cause you would rather that money be going off to pay your debts. the programs that don't exist, so make sure you're not giving your money to those and also services that you can find for free. these companies promise those kind of services, so obviously don't give your money to those. >> people get so desperate sometimes. we've seen the scope of trillion dollars that students owe in this country. let's talk about some specific tips now that you've pointed out some of the pitfalls. what can people specifically do to help themselves in these situations? >> first and foremost, again, don't fall for these debt settlement companies. stay away electric those. take all that cash you would be putting toward those companies to pay off your debts. so make a plan to get out of

debt. and first and foremost, i tell people to do the debt snowball. this is where you're going to list out all of your debt, smallest to largest, regardless of the interest rate. pay minimum payments on everything and attack that smallest debt first. once that's paid off, roll the payments you were paying on that to the second smallest debt. and go until you're completely debt free. that's the best way to go about paying off your debt. also find extra income. so go take a part-time job, sell some stuff. do whatever you can to get extra cash to put toward that debt. >> you say realize that it's a marathon, a long race. not a sprint. >> that's right. it's going to take some time. you obviously want to do this as quickly as possible. but remember, it's going to take time. especially the student loans, which a lot of people have. that's probably going to be your last debt 'cause it's the largest debt most people have. so yes. be forceful with it. put as much money as you can toward that debt. but remember, it may take some

time. so be patient. >> a final question, sometimes these debt settlement companies say hey, you should default on the debt. default on the loan. it may cause you to pay less over time. true or false? >> false, because most of the time, especially with student loans, your interest is still accruing. so that's not a good idea. if you have the money, pay minimum payments. again, attack that smallest debt first. >> boy that, is great advice. we're so happy to have you here today. rachel cruze, great book, great advice. we'll see you next time. >> thank you. coming up, her mother-in-law has a nickname for everyone, even the pets. is this normal or is this nuts? dr. keith ablow is here with a surprising answer. but first on this day in 1945, the u.s. detonated the first atomic bomb in a test in new mexico.

case. apparently he was hired by bergdahl as late as last week and even met with him in person at that time. >> what's curious about that is bow bergdahl still has not spoken to his family, but now has spoken to his lawyer. we have a lawyer on the couch today to tell us a little bit about this guy's background. >> interesting choice. high-powered military justice lawyer who in the past has spoken out on behalf of enemy combatants at guantanamo bay. in fact, helped spear head the overturning of the military commission's law in the united states supreme court. so has spoken out in a very active way. he's a lecturer at yale, coast guard veteran and married. we were talking earlier to supreme court reporter, former times reporter, linda greenhouse. so he's connected in washington and he's connected in efforts in the past to derail the enemy combatant justice system in america. >> so in the past, some of his

clients have been the detainees at gitmo. >> he's spoken out on behalf of them. they were not actually his clients. he put this a friend of the court brief in several proceedings in the court of appeals and the united states supreme court. so he's a well-known lawyer. an interesting choice going forward for mr. bergdahl. >> he's traded -- he was traded for the five top taliban officials after some say he deserted. his platoon mates. it was proven through documents. the pentagon was facing a ton of questions as to this investigation and the status of bergdahl. is he restricted in terms of travel? should he be allowed to fly? this is what their spokesperson had tovrñ?ñ?ñ?ñ?ñ say. >> tujurj allegations, but just having allegations posed doesn't restrict your freedom of movement or place you in any kind of restricted status just by the nature of somebody alleging wrongdoing. there will be a fair, complete, comprehensive investigation into the circumstances surrounding his departure from that base and

then we'll move on from there. >> could say he's a flight risk. he's under no restrictions, there is an ongoing investigation into the circumstancing surrounding his departure. thanks, everybody. >> so bowe bergdahl, to recap, is now today going to start his third day of a desk job there at fort sam houston in texas. he's under no restrictions. he can come and go as he pleases. tony schaefer, who is a form military investigator, he's got a problem with this. for instance, bradley manning, remember the guy who leaked all the secrets to wikileaks? he says thiswe bergdahl, on par with him, but bradley manning was kept in the brig, where this guy is allowed to go free. hee is tony. >> -- here is tony. >> bergdahl has done as much damage, in my estimation, as did bradley manning, and we all know manning sat in quantico during a time they ran an investigation.

the idea of bergdahl being free to go and come as admiral kirby said is totally insane. naval criminal investigative service did an investigation on this in 2009 when he walked away. the reason that that report is not being highly touted is because it basically can confirm what his platoon mates just said. so there is clear probable cause to restrict him to at least quarters, probably even more severely than that. >> we understand mr. bergdahl has not been questioned at this point, nor has he been charged. he is not charged with any crime under military law. >> said to be making over $350,000. >> he could, if it's determined he was a prisoner of war, $350,000, back pay, and p.o.w. bonus. >> even though he left a note and said i've had enough with this war and i'm leaving? >> correct. there is an investigation that's ongoing. it began june 16. they hope to have findings by the middle of august. i don't expect really it will be done by then. but let's see what happens.

his side, went looking for him and actually took part in hoping to find him? >> any kind of real complete investigation would include interviewing all of those folks there as to what they knew as to his conduct going forward. >> speaking of investigations, you know about the irs investigations from our department of justice and the f.b.i., although we don't know they've talked to anybody. remember it was about a year ago the irs admitted, they apologized, we're sorry, we did target you. and then, of course, famously lois lerner took the fifth. you're looking right there at april sands, she's a former fec attorney. i say former because she got caught, she broke the hatch act where she was actively campaigning for democrats and also barak obama. all right. so they decide to look further after she gets canned, they want to look further to find out whether or not there is a

connection between her, who worked at the fec, and lois lerner, who used to work essentially be her boss at the fec. as it turns out issues once again, this lady's hard drive has apparently been recycled or crashed or something. none the less, the investigators cannot get their hands on it. but you know what? they don't need her hard drive because she has published some very public tweets. she's very active. she has in her twitter history done 232,000 tweets and some of them are clearly so over the line, if you are an attorney for the federal election commission. >> you mean like this one? when she tweeted this, i just don't understand how anyone but straight white men can vote republican. what kind of delusional rhetorical does one use? >> that was just one of the tweets that apparently she did while she was on the job at the fec. she's a lawyer. she should know better. she's been fired. can't work in the federal

government for two years. congressman meadows was on with greta last night. he thinks this is just shocking. >> they're getting retweeted and the possibility of people next to her in the next cubicle and so forth of not knowing how she feels personally would be very remote. this is not a low level. this is an attorney. she's an attorney who set out to enforce the law. she knows the law better than anyone else and yet violates it. >> it's a mess. >> it's a bold mess. >> it's an absolute mess. >> you eat what you tweet eventually. steve, i believe you were speaking with cleta mitchell who represented the tea party groups targeted. >> still does. we talked to her a little bit about the status of the investigation because, keep in mind, we don't know where it's at. we know eric holder a while back said nobody will be charged. no criminality there. we did talk toñññ?ñ?ñ?ñ?ñ?ñ cleo and she is÷ñ?ñ?ñ?ñ? disappointet they essentially started this investigation in the wrong place by talking to the bureaucrats

instead of the victims. here she is. >> the thing that is bothersome is they did not start with interviewing the victims. they started with interviewing the bureaucrats and the employees of the irs, including lois lerner, who talked to them, but she won't talk to congress. they started, in my view, at the other end of the spectrum, at the perpetrators rather than the victims and i still think it's hard to overcome that bias on their part. >> and she also told us that after cleta came on fox and complained that the whole investigation was a sham, next thing you know, two of the department of justice attorneys came to question her. one of them, barbara bosserman, who has given thousands and thousands of dollars to the president of the united states and his campaign effort and also democrats. she looks like she's a political operative working for the department of justice and none the less, she is part of the unbiased investigation into what happened at the irs.

first of all, the in flux of thesish which from central america was predictable as early as january, even back last year. i think we should have been much better prepared for the influx than we were when they all started showing up in greater numbers. secondly, there was no notification to local authorities, to my office or to anyone really before the kids started showing up in southern arizona. those are two big mistakes. now we have to solve the problem. that's what i've tried to do by signing onto a bill that was introduced by my colleague from texas, congressman cuellar. >> which harry reid says he's going to take no part in. he doesn't want to part in because the border is secure. do you believe the border is secure? is harry reid delusional? >> well, i wouldn't want to characterize the majority leader any way like that. but i will say this, that the people i represent in southern arizona, and i have 83 miles of the border with mexico -- don't feel secure, don't feel safe in their homes.

until that's done, the border isn't secure from my perspective. so that's what this bill is about in terms of the latest crisis, getting a handle on this situation, solving the problem once and for all that we haven't solved in many, many months and years. we have to get done to solving problems. that's why the people of southern arizona sent me to washington and that's what i'm trying to do with this legislation. >> comevmñ?ñ?ñ?ñ?ñ? november, cs be thrashednwñ?ñ?ñ?ñ?ñ? in thes. your opponent has raised a ton of money in recent months here. are you concerned about that? is that why you're taking this harsh position now against the president administration? >> no. it has nothing to do with that. i've been working on this issue since before i came to congress, as congresswoman giffords district director, i had to leave for border security matters and i helped her craft legislation that brought resources to the border. from the day i stepped into this job as a new member of congress from the arizona district, i've been working hard to get solutions to the problem. i'm a ranking member on the

oversite subcommittee and i've been pushing hard at every opportunity to get legislation and to call dhs to be more accountable for getting the border secure. the strategy is wrong and now we have a new crisis with these kids coming in, which allows the cartels actually to exploit us in two ways. first of all, they exploit the children by encouraging them to come, taking large amounts of money from them and their families. perilous journey across mexico and then they opened up areas of the border, because we've pulled border patrol agents to care for these kids. that's not their job. their job is to secure the border. the cartels are having their way in two different ways of exploiting border patrol. >> congressman, it is absolutely refreshing to hear someone say that on the other side of the aisle, we've heard it from republicans. we thank you for joining us right now with a fresh clear look here. >> very good. nice to meet you. can steve catch this dollar? no matter how hard he tries, he

who haven't eaten in three months. if they haven't eat machine three months, they'd be dead, which means you're not really in any dangerous. >> that's excellent. >> do you have another one? we want a do over. >> the answer was right there in front of you. so think carefully, which one of these two guys do you think is in the position? who is the boss of those two gentlemen? >> we're going to go with 2 because the first guy looks like he's praying for the answer. >> interesting that you would say that. obviously wrong. >> we're going to go with 1. >> the girls are actually correct. actually the science tells us that this is a position of authority. when peop.ç?ñ?ñ?ñ?ñ?ñe put theis like this together. >> it looks like he was%?ñ?ñ?ñ?. >> he was deliberating. >> you have another chance to tie the game. this has to do with the lag time

you heard president obama requesting $3.7 billion from congress to handle the crisis on the border. how much of that money is actually going towards the u.s. military, the group that's been housing illegals at its bases and patrolling the border? zero. is the president shortchanging our armed forces by involving them in this crisis without boosting their funding? joining me now is congressman and veteran of the iraq and afghanistan war, adam. good morning. >> good morning. >> there seems to be a disconnect here. the president saying spend almost $4 billion, but not a of that appropriation seems to go to national guard or active military. what's that about? >> yeah. i think it's an issue. at the end of the day, the president's probably, if he really wants to solve the border crisis, at least in the short-term, is probably going to have to deploy national guard

soldiers to alleviate what the border patrol is having to do that's not apprehending people at the border. like president bush did in 2006 with operation jump start. at the height of the iraq and afghanistan war, he still sent national guard to the border of mexico, specifically in arizona to build up that border. the president is probably going to have to do the same thing. we're also trying to alleviate some of the drug trafficking and narco terrorism we see in central and south america. south com needs to be able to be well resourced to combat the reason why we're seeing so many kids come up and also you have these kids that are being housed in military bases all around the country right now. so the military is finding itself carrying a share of this burden and frankly, at a time when the military's budget has been cut significantly and there is a lot to be asked of them. i think as part of this, we need to talk about insuring the military has all the resource it is needs to protect our country

and be able to do what the country is asking us. >> you're not only a major in the air force, you serve in the reserves and you served at the border. we hear more and more about drug cartels funding and sponsoring this invasion of undammed immigrants into this -- undammed immigrants into this country. isn't that a pressure point that our military should be looking at in central and south america and doesn't that cost money? >> yeah, absolutely. i've worked the border in multiple capacities. one was in 2006 with operation jump start taking troops to the border. but then more recently i actually fly an aircraft and intelligence aircraft and we flew the border to look for people crossing in. this was before the influx of children we were seeing a lot of peopleómñ?ñ?ñ?ñ?ñ crossing and g border patrol, many of whom had drugsóoñ?ñ?ñ?ñ?ñ which were mule drug cartels. now the cartels have figured out that not only can they make money on bringing children up here, but they can also use that

distraction and the border patrol being distracted by the number of children to put more drugs over the border and frankly, ultimately pollute our youth. this is a very serious situation. plus the fact that the new al-qaeda is probably looking and saying, man, if we want to sneak anybody into the united states, this is a time to do it. i think is beyond just a humanitarian crisis, a crisis of immigration. it is a national security issue and something we ought to take very seriously lest this come up and bite us. >> congressman, thank you for speak out on this issue. we'll have you back to see what goes forward on this issue. thanks for your service. >> thank you. have a good one. coming up, the video is going viral. and it's really easy to see why. ♪ i like your nose ♪ i like your mouth, your ears, your hands ♪ >> elisabeth and steve will have those boys coming up next and their story will warm your heart.
