"fox & friends" starts now. by spe. good morning. today is thursday, july 17. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. a fox news alert. a violent bank robbery, a wild car chase and a deadly shootout. >> holy [bleep]! wow! >> one hostage paying the ultimate price. the breaking developments overnight. >> a late-night meeting at the capitol ends with no immigration compromise. so who is to blame for this mess? >> i want the president to be as bold and generous as republicans have been heady and mean spirited on immigration. >> the latest on the

crumbling bipartisan deal coming to you straight ahead. >> then it's the name of their team but this morning the head of a major sports network leaving it up to the announcers on whether they'll say the name redskins. is that fair or foul or ridiculous? "fox & friends" begins right now. >> you're watching "fox & friends," the number-one morning cable news show in america. ♪ ♪ >> you know what day it is, it's throwback thursday, and this is a real throwback to my favorite jumper ever. >> who is that? >> this would be me in about 1982. >> a one-piece uniform?

>> yes. look how super excited i am for summer. that is a throwback to my summer excitement. >> the pigtails are adorable. >> ladies and gentlemen, it is the first time since the world cup team appeared on a plaza i have been shirtless on television. >> it is blindingly white. >> that is why i picked it out. i have an unbelievable farmer's tan. i believe that is rehoboth, delaware or rehoboth, maryland. >> rehoboth is in delaware. >> it is on the border. there in my arms would be a famous tv correspondent who is 6'6". >> at what point were you not able to carry him anymore? >> i'm still carrying him. who do you think is paying for that car? >> pretty soon i have a feeling we'll see -- >> a farmers tan on me too.

>> three minutes after the top of the hour. we've got a lot to tell but this immigration thing but right now we'll start with heather. >> there was a terrifying situation in california. we're getting in new information overnight. there is a hostage who was used as a human shield and had a hostage now dead after a chase and shootout like cops have never seen before. >> holy [bleep]! wow! >> this chase right here outside of stockton, california, taking place, lasting about 45 minutes. three people robbed a california bank and then took two bank workers hostage. also a customer held hostage as well. they took off in one of the worker's s.u.v.'s and sometime during that long chase the two workers were thrown from that speeding car. the third hostage, the bank customer, was killed during a fire fight that left cars and houses in that area riddled with bullets from

ak-47 style rifles. two of the robbers are now dead and the third is hospitalized ment we'll bring you more as we get it. spown down -- huge developments in the i.r.s. scandal. the department of gears up to defend its investigation of the i.r.s. james cole will testify on the hill today but is not expected to say a lot. here is a preview of the testimony. he is expected to say this -- quote -- "i know you're frustrated by the fact that i cannot disclose at this time specifics about the investigation. i do pledge to you that when our investigation is completed, we'll provide congress with detailed information about the facts we uncovered and the conclusions we reached in this matter." our nation's capital sticking with this theme right now. going to pot, there is a new law that decriminalizes possession of up to one ounce of marijuana and that

went into effect at midnight. the law makes possession a civil violation with a fine of $25, but it's still illegal to sell or smoke pot in public there. an emotional night at the espy awards when espn anchor stuart scott wins the award for perseverance. he has been through a very public battle with cancer. >> i listened to what jim balbano said 21 years ago, the most poignant seven words uttered in any speech anywhere. don't give up. don't ever give up. those great people didn't. coach balbano didn't. so to be honored with this, i nova responsibility to also not ever give up. >> after the speech, his daughter gave up and gave him a big, big hug, thankful her dad hasn't given up. a powerful message. >> what is the number-one thing that bothers you

about the united states right now? according to a brand-new gallup poll, the thing you worry most about not jobs, not the economy. the thing you worry most about is immigration. it is because of the flood of illegals across our southern border. there were a couple of big meetings in washington. the congressional hispanic caucus met with joe biden and the president of the united states. the president told the group the migrants' rights would be honored with regard to due process even though he has pledged to accelerate deportation. that is where he parts company with the hispanic caucus because they don't want to see the president speed up deportation. they would like to see everybody stay in the country. >> everyone is looking forward and saying what are we going to do about this crisis, unless you're harry reid who says the border is secure. at this caucus which lasted two hours, there was plenty

of blame to go around. lewis guiterrez says it is the mean-spirited republicans behind this problem. >> the president acted boldly to extend prosecutorial action and take other actions to fix our broken immigration system. now republicans failed to allow legislation to proceed. i want the president to be as bold and generous as republicans have been petty and mean spirited on immigration. >> there is absolutely enough blame to go around. president bush famously bravely tried to push immigration reform through. republicans in his own party said we don't want it. democrats haven't done anything this time around. marco rubio says everyone is to blame. we need to get our heads out of the sand and get this tackled. listen. >> i think it is an indictment of washington of the failure for more than a decade to deal with a problem that we know exists. unless you are in favor of the status quo, unless you say i think this is working for america, you have to be

in favor of fixing it. that is not the debate. the debate is how do you fix it. >> it is going to have to be bipartisan. there is a bipartisan bill being considered. john cornyn of texas and representative henry cuellar, a democrat of texas, their bill, doesn't sound like many democrats support mr. cuellar, in fact, none that we can find. he will be with us very shortly. we've been talk to the politicians and we've been talking to the experts but frank luntz talked to you, the people of the united states. here is one of his famous focus groups to figure out who are you blaming for this? is it the guy at the top? listen. >> i don't care whether you voted for him or where you stand, who believes the president is handling this crisis on the texas border effectively, raise your hands. not one of you. how many of you voted in barack obama in 2008 or 2012? i want to point that out. not one of them gives barack obama an effective rating for what he's done on the border.

this is pretty damning. >> amazing, think about the hands being raised and all the people who voted for him, half the room and when asked that question hands down. >> where's the leadership? >> the gallup poll says the top riert right now certainly -- top priority right now scrutinized by americans because the problem is in their backyard. according to to experts 90,000 could reach here by september. >> we could have long time senators make bold statements. instead they compared to things like world war ii. that is what happened. senator leahy leading it off comparing what's unfolding with the border with all of these children coming to the border as a crisis not unlike the holocaust. listen to senator patrick leahy. >> at the beginning of the

holocaust, look at the people who died. the number of jews who went to the ovens because we forgot our principles. >> so there's the holocaust in central america? we know there's a problem of violence. we know that bill that so many are streaming across our southern border protects anybody who is a victim of sexual trafficking. we know that. but, you know, it's always dangerous to compare things to a holocaust. i know representative gutierrez said of the people who are here now, he thought 90 to 95 would probably wind up being deported. that shows you the problem with the holocaust he's drawing a comparison -- >> those who think they may come here without issues may fall to great critique. experts say you go through mexico you're subject to physical, sexual abuse at the hands of drug cartels

there. >> a problem. >> much more on this throughout the show this morning. are you guys ready? it's almost training camp time for football, football season. >> ten days ago for some camps. >> the nfl about to kick off. cbs -- the head of cbs, of sports, brought famously football back to cbs after a long absence there. he was asked in a sit-down interview this prickly issue about the redskins. will you call them the redskins? will you not call them the redskins? sean mcmahonnis said we're going to leave it up to the announcers during the sunday games to say what they want. >> i wish we had somebody on the couch who would be maybe married to a sportscaster, who was actually once upon a time a quarterback for the redskins. >> oh, that is me. you know what's funny?

yesterday you know those little football faces with the big guys, i was sewing up taylor's little ball there and it was a redskin. and we've got redskin helmets and redskin jerseys. i think to not take a bold stance here as a league and just say the fans are not offended. the team is not offended. >> according to polls. >> according to most polls, there has not been a major outcry. what's next? we're going to have sinners protesting the saints name because they don't think that fairly represents everybody? or maybe put saints in a light that they don't agree with? >> bald eagles are upset. >> they want hair. >> let us know about the new cbs policy. by the way, we've got the fire trucks pulling up on 48th and 6th avenue because today we kick off the soldier ride. you'll see it right here on fox news channel, "fox & friends" where it started ten years ago. >> a lot of violence in new

jersey unfolding. coming up, he murdered a rookie cop in cold blood and a memorial being set up but not for the cop. the cop killer. what in the world is going on? our next guest says it is going to get worse. >> a pop quiz for you. is the district of columbia part of the united states? the t.s.a. officer who failed that test. >> sometimes it doesn't feel that way. ♪ ♪

shooter after a tip. lawrence campbell who said he just wanted to be famous. after the incident two memorials were set up for the cop killer and his widow had this to say. >> he should have took more with him if that's the case. god forgive me but that's how i feel. if that's the case, he should have took more with him. if they was going to stand over my husband and shoot him like a dog, he should have took all of them. >> he should have shot more cops. the widow has apologized since that statement. that is triggering this anticop sentiment in this community and it is more widespread than we think. joining us this morning is rod wheel. there's been a number of cop fatalities. 69 total fatalities in 2014, up 30%. rod, what in the world is going on? >> i think the problem, guys, is a lot greater than just the situation that happened in new jersey. let me explain that very

quickly. not just in new jersey but go to oakland, california, go to parts of chicago, and what we find is a lot of people in urban communities are becoming more and more increasingly frustrated for different reasons. i think the officer santiago that was killed in new jersey, i think that was the blunt end of a major problem we have going on in this country and it is a problem that a lot of people don't want to talk about, they don't want to discuss, in various communities around the country. back in 1968, martin luther king made a statement. before the riots of 1968, one week before he died, he said if the nation does not address this problem now, the problem will only get worse. and it's exactly the same thing that's going on in our society today. >> with the 65% increase really in firearms fatalities here, we are facing indeed a problem, rod. what is -- what do you think of the memorial? >> i think the memorial is

horrible. we never want to memberrallize the life of -- we never want to memorialize an individual that takes the life of any individual. i see it more of a demonstration than a memorial. take the guy campbell's picture off of it but let's see what the message is being sent to the government. any time we see our federal government quickly want to send $3.7 billion to the border to help take care of the people coming over here illegally, what message are we sending to people in south side chicago when we do that? what message are we sending to jersey city when we do that? i think again what we're seeing here is people are just frustrated with our government. look, these are the same people -- and i don't mean to go off here, but these are the same people guys dancing in the street when president obama was elected. guess what? they're dying in the street now. what do we do about it? >> black youth unemployment at an all-time high in this country. i want to play sound from

you. sean bergen, a local news 12 reporter, he doesn't editorialize often but he goes out and sees these murders unfolding on a regular basis and he says there is a common theme he's seeing regularly. he has since left this job as a result of these comments. we're going to play it and get your thoughts. >> this sick, perverse line of thinking is evident from new york city to newark, patterson and trenton. it has made the police officers jobs impossible. young black men growing up without fathers, unfortunately no one in the news media has the courage to touch that subject. >> young black men without fathers, is that the problem? >> that is one of the underlying problems. there is a lot more problems to add to that. >> rod wheeler, always great to see you this morning. >> coming up, a guy on a

bergdahl says the president saved his life when he agreed to swap five taliban prisoners for his release and he's deeply grateful to president obama for his freedom. bergdahl is back on active duty and he is in the state of texas. a decision that could in fact affect the entire country. a federal judge rules that california's death penalty is unconstitutional because inmates aren't being executed fast enough. u.s. district court judge cormack mccartney says delays should be considered cruel and unusual punishment but most delays are usually brought on by the prisoners and that is what takes so long. supporters of the decision says the death penalty is simply a waste of money. >> what purpose does it serve? because all the experts agree there is no proof that it is a deterrence. it's what, retribution is punishment. can we afford it? plus this fact, how many innocent people, people who were on death row, didn't

deserve to be on death row were there. you can't convince me there's not at least one or more that shouldn't be there. >> this decision comes from a case brought on by this death row inmate earnest jones, sentenced to death for the rape and murder of his girlfriend's mother. >> breaking news coming out of new jersey. a new jersey police officer is dead this morning after a cop car, his cop car was hit by a tractor-trailer on route 17 in waldwick, new jersey. the truck rear ended the unmarked police car. the officer was using a radar gun when he was struck. the officer was a five-year veteran of the department. his name has not been released pending notification of his family. that's coming in from our local affiliate, fox 5 here in new york city. the t.s.a. agent needs a crash course in u.s. geography. this agent, listen to this, gave a washington, d.c. reporter a hard time about his drivers license because the agent didn't know that the district of columbia was actually in the united

rather than faithfully execute the laws as the constitution requires, the president has instead selectively enforced the law in some instances, ignoring the law in other instances, and a few cases, changed the law all together. when you have presidents who govern by fiat or alone, that's when you produce the very thing the framers wanted to avoid. >> a law maker and a lawyer agreeing. the president is on a power trip. those comments were during a house hearing to determine if speaker john boehner can sue the president for abusing his authority. but what will actually happen and is this just a big waste of time? joining us now is judge andrew

napolitano. good morning. >> good morning. >> can you sue the president? >> well, you can sue the president. the question is why would you do so and what would the outcome be? here is the back story. after the affordable care act was passed, obamacare, and a lot of group, mainly labor unions say we can't comply with it, the president started issuing on his own, exemptions to his friends. you don't have to comply for it now. you can take year. >> despite the law saying they must? >> correct. and despite his obligation to enforce the law as it's written, not as he wished it could have been. then he decided there is 7 million illegal immigrants here. hey, if you do this, this, and this, we won't deport you. i will tell you how to break the law. this got to a boiling point where members of congress, mainly republicans, but some democrats as well, said what the heck is he doing? his job, the oath of office he takes is in the constitution

itself. you heard professor refer to the framers, they wanted to be sure the president enforced all the laws whether they agreed with them or not. that's where the word faithfully is in there. the president shall take care to enforce the laws faithfully. so the republicans are saying, what are we doing to do about this? we don't have ordeal by combat anymore. let's sue him. that's where we are as of yesterday, a hearing to decide whether or not it is lawful and appropriate and constitutional for the house of representatives to sue the president of the united states for not doing his job. >> someone had an opinion about that. representative louis slaughter. ranking member of the house committee on rules. this is what she had to say. preposterous. >> it's a political exercise. it is based on false premise.

that the president acted outside of his authority. he did not act outside his authority. second premise is that a lawsuit against the president brought by half of congress is possibly the correct way to resolve a political dispute, which it certainly is not. >> you know, legal scholars are all over the place on this. i come down on the side -- going to pain know say this -- i agree with the president and i agree with congresswoman slaughter. it's a political stunt. there is a mechanism in the constitution for the congress to use when the president is not doing his job. >> what is it? >> or when he's doing his job in such a athat the laws have an opposite effect the way they were written. it's called impeachment. the courts will reject this. it will take them years to resolve this lawsuit if they even accept this case. impeachment will focus his attention immediately. >> okay. judge napolitano, thank you for that. >> you're welcome. have a good one. >> you, too. wonder where the thousands

fall. we're so proud of him. on this throwback thursday, we've got lots of news and for that, we start with heather in new jersey. >> good morning to you. let me bring this to you. a fox news alert coming out of new jersey. police officer is dead after his cop car was hit by a tractor-trailer. this happened this morning on route 17 in waldwick, new jersey, 32-year-old christopher goodall. he was using a radar gun when his truck rear end -- a truck rear-ended his unmarked car. he was a five-year veteran of the police department and he had served the united states military as a marine. a hostage was used as a human shield in california. that hostage now dead this morning after a car chase and a shootout. like cops say they have never seen before.

>> holy [ bleep ]. wow. >> here is what unfolded. three people robbed a bank outside of stockton, california. they took two bank workers and a customer hostage. they took off in one of the workers' suv and sometime during that 45-minute long chase, the two workers were thrown from that car. a third hostage, the bank customer, was killed during the fire fight. it left cars and houses riddled with bullets. from ak 47 rifles that were used, two of the robbers are now dead. a third is hospitalized. we'll bring you details as we get it. let's look overseas. gaza, israeli police say three mortar shells have been fired from there and it's breaks what was supposed to be a humanitarian cease fire. nobody claimed responsibility. the truce was a period to hold. the mortars fell in the open areas in southern israel two hours after the cease fire began. so far no reportof israeli

retaliation. just one day after the tragic incident on a beach in gaza. israel shelling kills four palestinian boys. a night of fun back here at home on a casino cruise ship turning into a nightmare for some passengers. they got stuck at sea for 16 hours after the ship ran aground off the coast of georgia. folks were forced to sleep on the floor and then use life preservers as pillows. the coast guard then had to rescue more than 100 people on the boat. it was called the trade winds. initial attempts failed to tow that boat back to shore when the tow line broke. >> tug boat was from 1972 and it did not do anything but pull the rope and pop it. >> passengers were eventually transferred onto small boats, but they are all okay this morning. those are your headlines. they were pretty scared. >> must have been. >> thank you. let's head to washington now. there was late night meetings in the middle of summer. they're getting together,

congressional hispanic caucus meeting with the president and thought maybe they'll have some headway on this immigration crisis at our border, but after a bunch of meetings, we see this on a regular basis with congress and the president, nothing was reached. >> shocking. >> a lot of blame back and forth. but local government officials and democratic states like massachusetts, they're crying foul. they're saying the burden that is being placed on their laps right now with the crisis coming from the border is way too much. this is judith flanigan kennedy out of massachusetts. >> we have been aware of the unaccompanied children issued for quite a while, but now it's gotten to the point where our school is overwhelmed, our health department is overwhelmed. the city's budget is being substantially altered. >> she says her -- she's the mayor. she says her city of lynn, massachusetts, is to the brink. they're completely stressed out. keep in mind one of the first

places it shows up is in the schools. in the last year, they had 600 additional kids. well, nonenglish speakers come into the schools. 600, half of them, were from guatemala. a sizable proportion were also in this country illegally. who is going to educate 600 children? it's the obligation of the city. unfortunately, there is no money from the federal government. in the meantime, the federal government currently is -- it's been hard to get a number on it -- each one of those illegal kids is costing the federal government somewhere between 200 to $1,000 a day. i know last week the president floated his suggestion he would like $4 billion to fix this problem, even though didn't address the real problem, i think it extrapolated down to each kid would cost the federal government about $70,000. >> the federal government estimating that it will be a number of 90,000 illegals alone

by september of this year that could enter. the situation is dire. the states now wondering what happened. duval patrick had no idea they were being bussed there from border states to massachusetts. he was shocked by this and now you hear the mayor there in massachusetts of lynn. >> also at issue is privacy in all of this. under that 2008 law that was signed in to stop sex trafficking of these children is a privacy issue where we're not allowed to really know where the kids are being shuttled to. if you're a local official and you want to know how many people are coming into your town, we're not really allowed to know. white house press secretary was asked about this privacy issue during a press conference and he had this to say. take a listen. >> the public does have a right to know what's happening. at the same time, there are privacy rights that are included in the law that this administration is committed to enforcing and following.

>> oh, come on. privacy? charles krauthammer says that's a load of you know what. >> the administration's line is this a question of privacy? that's absurd. that's a crock. privacy? if you tell a governor that a certain number of illegal alien children are coming to a certain facility, there is no privacy involved, he's not naming names. he's not putting a photograph on the internet. this is clearly an attempt of the administration to handle a problem by concealing it the people who most have to know. >> and he mentioned governors in maryland, the governor who sounds like he would like to run for president in 2016. in public, he has announced that -- we've got to keep these kids. they deserve to grow up here in the united states of america, but at the same time, apparently in private, through back channels, he was talking to people at the white house.

he said, do not bring those kids to maryland. so in public he's saying one thing, but in private, he was saying something completely different. perhaps it speaks to what was going on in lynn, massachusetts, where who is going to pay for this stuff? >> right. eventually the buck will stop somewhere and this is a big problem moving into even health concerns as we reach to the future here. >> talking about new jersey this morning, this is making national headlines this morning with the violence that's unfolding. we've been hearing about chicago. now new jersey, ground zero for some really terrifying shootouts between police and some high profile gangs, including the bloods gang. one member of the bloods gang went into a convenience store. the police went in to stop him. he was inside this convenience store when the police pulled up outside, he started firing and shot and killed a rookie cop. there he is. santiago was the cop killed. he was a rookie cop.

now the bloods said we are going to go after cops. we're going to bring in bloods from out of state. we're going to bring them in and now the police in new jersey on a state of alert. >> there is a reporter for news 12, he did a story on this and he talked to mr. campbell's wife and she said essentially that he wished he would have killed more cops.d that impacted mr. bergen and he's a&fñ?ñ?ñ?ñ? reporter, keep, and he made these comments which some say crossed the line. he editorialized when he said this. >> we decided to air it because it's important to shine a light on this anti-cop mentality that has so contaminated america's inner cityies. this perverse line of thinking is evident from jersey city, it has made the police officer's job impossible and it has got to to be. the underlying cause for all of this, of course, young black men growing up without fathers. unfortunately, no one in the news media has the courage to touch that subject.

>> his boss has been suspended and said you're going to work one day a week. he said he couldn't live on it, so he quit. >> but this is what he had to say last night with megyn kelly. >> i knew there would be some consequences and some ramifications. i thought maybe a reprimand or temporary suspension. >> why was it worth it to you? >> because this has got to stop. somebody has to have the guts to stand up and point at this ask say hey, man, we got to start talking about this. i know it's a touchy subject. i know it's a touchy issue. >> especially for a white man to raise. >> yeah, there is that too. there is shame involved here. no one wants to be known as the man who abandons his children. it's understandable that people would want to walk past this and not really look at it. >> we had rod wheeler on earlier in this telecast and he said that he made a good point, that is part of the problem, but it's just a part of it. there are a lot of things that go into it.

mr. bergin is now out of work after speaking his mind. >> let us know what you think about that. we'd love to hear. president obama looking for all the help he can get in solving the border crisis. but one border state democrat who has already come up with a bipartisan solution is getting the silent treatment. why is representative henry cuellar being sidelined? he is going to join us next. you're already paying for people to collect food stamps. now free movie ticketsihñ?ñ?ñ?ñt come with them. >> do you get popcorn? >> largezhñ?ñ?ñ?ñ?ñ? soda. >> a candy bar? ♪ ♪ zing! need new gear? then you belong at bass pro shops for huge savings during our summer sale and clearance event. like $20 off browning stalker gold spinning combos. and save 20 to 50% on select men's and ladies' sandals. ♪ nothing's missed with tenatwist ♪

they're trying to come up with a solution to the immigration crisis on our southern border. >> one person who wasn't allowed to put his ideas on the table, texas congressman henry cuellar, democrat who criticized the white house's immigration policy in the past right here on "fox & friends." >> okay. so why wasn't the border state congressman allowed to speak directly? he joins us right now from capitol hill. good morning to you. >> good morning. how are you? >> doing okay. last week you were on the program talking to brian and you revealed that the white house had called you a couple of times and told you to pipe down. you came face-to-face with the president yesterday. what was exchanged? >> he said hello to me, shook his hand like he did with everybody else. there was a brief determined number of people that were going to be speaking. i was there to listen to not only my fellow colleagues, but also listen to the president and really i think the president and i were on the same line. he knows we've got to put some emergency funding and put a

policy change. he understands that. >> sure. he asked july 2 that someone come forward with a plan. you have done that. but nancy pelosi as of yet when asked in an interview about your plan which is bipartisan, said, quote, i don't think the bill was introduced. it's exactly the wrong way it should go. is the only immigration bill we're going to have one that hurts children? so she's saying that your plan hurts children. does it? >> again, people, no matter who they are, should not box themselves in a situation. i live on the border. i've been working on this for many years. the border issues. this crisis, i understand how the process works. again, no matter who you are, you should never box yourself in this situation. we got to look at a policy change with due process for the kids, but at the same time, we got to have those hearings so the kids that need to be returned safely will have to be returned safely. >> it's kind of curious, last week the white house was talking about we've got to change the law. we're open to changing the law.

now it seems like most democrats, most members of your party, are saying we don't need to change that law. let's just go ahead and we'll get the money. but they won't address the core issue and that is changing the law. if they don't change the law, down the road a couple of years, what's going to be the end result? >> we don't have to go a couple years. let's just go to next year projections. if we have 58,000 right now, we're going to get probably 90,000 by the end of the year, it's predicted we might get 150,000. so if we don't change the law, that means we have to come back with another emergency bill next year and another emergency bill. what happens? do we take money from public education? do we take money from transportation? remember, there is a sequester coming in next year so we have to be smart how we do this. change the policy, give the protection to the kids. but if we need to return the kids, we need to do that with due process.

>> representative hinojosa out of texas said you do not represent the hispanic caucus. take a listen. >> henry cuellar does not represent the congressional hispanic caucus. he's blue dog. he comes to the meetings once in a long time and what you are hearing now is a unanimous voice of those who have been participating in the congressional hispanic caucus, but make it clear, cuellar does not speak for the congressional hispanic caucus. >> your reaction? >> i'm hispanic. i'm a blue dog. 80% of my population i represent hispanics. i as a member of congress i can make my proposal. i live on the border. by the way, it would have been nice if he would have spoken to me, asked me what my legislation does. he was just ignorant of the facts and we got to do the right thing. >> all right. congressman cuellar, we thank you very much for sharing your ideas for a bipartisan solution to the problem.

>> close friend of mine, ryan block, on the phone. his wife, veronica, was on the phone first trying to disconnect service. she got so frustrated that she handed him the phone. he starts recording the phone call for eight to ten minute, he can not disconnect his service. why? >> really what's going on is that this company, a lot of these companies, lime time warner, comcast, they want to make sure you're retained as a customer. so they'll do anything to make sure you're there. the problem is, this is the wrong way to handle it. >> i heard that these guys, these retention people, 'cause if you're going to call and disconnect people, they're going to pawn you off on some retention guy. it's his job to keep you as a customer, and it's going to affect his bottom line as a paycheck. so if you cancel your service on his watch, his paycheck goes down. if he retains you, his paycheck goes up. >> yeah. absolutely. this guy, your friend, isn't the only one this happened to. when i was on the phone with time warner the other day, i was on the phone an hour trying to make them retain me. there is a consumer advocacy

called the american customer satisfaction index. they were saying comcast and time warner, a scale of 0 to 100 scored 60%. they're one of the lowest scoring companies. >> it plays to this idea that there are these monopolies now. you go to certain town, you can't get any service but comcast half the time. let's see how to protect yourself in this scenario. he wanted to get a different service. he then recorded the call. that's a smart move? >> right. you have to make sure you're in the state that allows you to. most states will allow you. ohio and new york will let you record without saying something. when you get on the line, they say this will be recorded, they have to do that legally. new york and ohio, you don't have to say anything. in most states, there needs to be one person saying i'm recording this. >> he asked for the person's name. you say that's another smart move. >> right. because you want to make sure you have a paper trail. you want to make sure you get

that name down to make sure you can e-mail that person or management. you want to start this paper trail. >> even ask them for a confirmation number. they say we don't haveceñ?ñ?ñ?ñ. then how i do know that you canceled my service? you'll get a bill in thexdñ?ñ?ñ. >> the way comcast serviceman handled this was all wrong. you need to make sure you get the confirmation, the man's name, and his e-mail in order to send that check. >> you say follow up with an e-mail and be nice. ryan was actually really nice the whole time on the phone. >> i have to tell you, i don't know if i would be this calm, cool and collected. but he handled it so perfectly. he was so nice, very level headed. he just wanted to get his service disconnected. that's one thing i can tell people. just be nice. >> one thing i liked what he did on twitter later, he tweeted out, do not fire this guy. comcast, just fix your policy. >> right. that's another thing. he took it to twitter. he was very calm and cool. he just wanted to get his service disconnected. >> this guy was just doing his job, perhaps too well. coming up on the show, you're already paying for people to get food stamps. now you may pay more to make

s. our guest joins us now. the general question is, what does this mean and what's going to be different this go around? >> i think the main thing we want to find out is why was it okay for the commissioner of the internal revenue service to wait two months -- he learned in april they lost lois lerner's e-mails, waited two months to tell the congress, two months to tell the american people, and most importantly, two months to tell the f.b.i. and the justice department. why is that okay? if you were being investigated by the f.b.i. and you lost critical documents to the investigation and you waited two months to tell the justice department, to tell the f.b.i., you'd be in big trouble. i want to know what the justice department thinks about john koskinen waiting two months to tell everybody. >> interesting to pick up on that. will we hear from lois lerner? what will you expect and demand? >> that's the other important point we want to try to get an answer from the justice department is u.s. attorney has had the contempt resolution that

the congress passed in a bipartisan fashion. he's had that now for two months. when is he going to convene a grand jury like the statute says he's supposed to do? when is he going to do that, take this to a grand jury and more importantly, get this resolution in front of a judge where maybe the judge will compel lois lerner to come answer our questions and tell the american people the truth. so those are the two big points we're going to try to get across and see if he'll answer our questions. >> what can you get in there and say that will extract that as a possibility moving forward? >> the one thing they have indicated in his testimony, his written testimony that was released yesterday is that they are looking into the e-mails. so that is at least a good sign. we've been real suspect about this entire investigation. remember, back in january, the f.b.i. leaked to the "wall street journal" no one was going to be prosecuted. the president of the united states went on television and said there is no corruption, not even a smidgen. the lead lawyer is a maxed out

contributor to the president's campaign, barbara bosserman. we said this investigation is a joke. the good news about that issue is 26 democrats voted with every single republican. so 26 democrats also say this investigation is a joke. let's put a special prosecutor on it and let's get to the truth. >> because they believe that was a complete conflict of interest? >> exactly. yeah. when you got the lead investigator, the lead attorney who gave $6,750 to the president's campaign and to the democrat national committee, that puts into question the impartialness and whether this person can do the real job of investigating what took place here. >> do you believe that this is the beginning of a real uncovering of information here? we sort of hit wall after wall and you have to beg for information when it comes to the government denying a group with political leaning, tax exempt status here. every american should be concerned. is this process now going to give the american people more information? >> i think we're making progress

all the time. just last week we had the u.s^ññ judge say -- the courts say they want someone from the internalcñ revenue to come testify under oath what happened to these e-mails. now we're getting the judicial branch involved as well. i think we're moving in the right direction. but it would be nice if the interim revenue service, if they'd cooperate and not take their time, slow walk and getting this the documents, take their time producing the documents, we should have had every e-mail a long time ago and we still continue to have those trickle in. >> so you are not giving up? >> no way. this is about violation of your most fundamental rights, your right to speak out in a political fashion against your government and that was systematically targeted by this administration and that's flatly wrong. of course we have to get to the truth and pursue this. >> we want to thank you for being with us today. >> thank you. we are going to bring you this next. young people, you think they're out of touch with what's happening in the world and in

>> right. so republicans are pretty much unified. the core problem is thatm[ñ?ñ?ñt law from 2008, because a lot of people are comingqxñ?ñ?ñ?ñ?ñ? is country illegally using that as a loophole. so the republicans are united. however, the democrats are splintered because a lot of them say let's not do that. let's not change the law. let's just give more money to speed up the process. we're going to hear from two democrat congressmen right now. first representative ruben hinojosa, a democrat from texas. he speaks out against his fellow texas delegate, congressman henry cuellar, and cuellar is the guy who came up with the bill that was bipartisan with john cornyn. does it have a chance? not if people are talking like this. here they both are. >> henry cuellar does not represent the congressional hispanic caucus. he's a blue dog. he comes to the meetings once in a long time, but make it clear,

cuellar does not speak for the congressional hispanic caucus. >> i'm hispanic. i'm a blue dog. 80% of my population i represent are hispanic. i as a member of congress can make my proposal. by the way, it would have been nice if he would have spoken to me, asked me what my legislation does. he was ignorant of the facts and we got to do the right thing. >> he also says that they have four more sessions left. he is confident, mr. cuellar is, that they can come to some sort of a resolution. there is a possibility that john boehner will -- they're working on a bill that would have $1.5 billion worth of money in it to address the problem, but that particular bill would go ahead and change the policy. however, they would need 50 or 60 democrats to vote alongside him and given the fact that the democrats are splintered and they're saying can't change the law, that could be a tough road to hoe. >> it's not just hitting states like california and texas like we reported. it's hitting nebraska, having to house illegal immigrants,

massachusetts. it's a nationwide problem. many americans voted for president obama and when they were asked what they thought about the immigration crisis, they had all of this to say. pretty shocking. watch. >> who has a -- i don't care whether you voted for him or stand, who in this room believes the president is handling this crisis on the texas border effectively? raise your hands. not one of you. how many of you voted for barak obama in 08 or 12? i want to point that out. not one of them gives barak obama an effective rating for what he's done on the border. this is pretty damning. >> yeah. half of them raising their hand, saying they voted for him. none of them raising their hand saying is he doing a good job on immigration. >> polls showing americans consider immigration a top priority. most important issue right now over the economy and jobs. >> that is something. meanwhile, have you heard this story? a jersey city police officer by the name of melvin santiago was

is discrimination. in this particular case what happened is these lenders, god knows they never give up -- they're denying applications for those mothers that are pregnant because they figure they're going to go on maternity leave, there is no income. the income goes down and therefore, they'll default on their mortgage payment. so they were caught and they basically were caught discriminating against moms and as a result, they got sanctioned. once again, we're seeing, elisabeth, lenders doing things underhandedly and deceptive, but thank goodness there is things in effect that enforcements there to give justice to those people who are discriminated against. it's happened before, but this is obviously that we're seeing. >> if you believe that this has happened to you or is happening, how can you actually fight it? how do you prove it, first off? then what do you do? >> here is what we have -- when we look back, i was just thinking of this the other day. you look back six, seven years ago when the crisis started, we never heard of robo signing when there was all that fraud going

on. we never knew what predatory lending was as a homeowner. we've learned as homeowners and consumers in america that these lenders -- and i'm not doing a sort of big brush here saying all lenders, but surely we have seen billions of dollars of fines that's gone against these lenders. you and i as the homeowner, how do you fight against it? well, doing segments hopefully like this and other things fox has done over the years to educate and inform people, but it's important to understand that lenders have the gold. so many times when you and i go in and sign papers and we believe and trust these are the things that have happened, that's why you look back and see so many lenders werezhñ?ñ?ñ?ñ?ñ complaining, you say wait a minuunñ?ñ?ñ?ñ?ñ?ñte, you're havy billions of dollars in fines, if you had just been honest with the homeowner, you wouldn't be in this spot. i say to our viewer, it's unfortunate, but the level of trust is gone and so if there

are things in effect for you and i to fight, but you got to read about it. you got to learn about it. you have to understand it and you have to get guidance, it's so important. >> okay. fair housing act. you're weaving that in here in a way. does that have teeth in here, legs, moving forward? >> yeah. the thing about the fair housing act is when they amended it in '88, hud basically now has enforcement where actually the justice department represents individuals, okay, that are being discriminated against and literally pay for their fees and they can file complaints. what i want our viewers to understand is this: the next time that you go buy a home, the next time that you do anything, because remember, what you and i do, the longest contract in our life we will ever sign is buying a home. it's 30 years. it's 40 years. there is actually 50 year loans out there somewhere. understand it. get advice. recognize there are laws on the

book. don't be afraid to ask questions. and understand if something is done wrong, you do have rights in america. there are people out there that will fight for you and information is valuable. very, very important for our viewers to understand this. >> empowering message today. we thank you for that. >> thank you. take care. when he tried to write a book, this navy seal was railroaded out of the military. why was bowe bergdahl given a pass after deserting his fellow soldiers? former navy seal carl higby joins us live. an incredible moment caught on camera. a diver untangles a stuck sea turtle right here. look at that. but what happens next will truly amaze you.

welcome back. quick headlines for you. terrorists targeting the upcoming u.s. open tennis tournament in new york city. the word comes from the extremest on line magazine, inspire. the government says there is no specific threat, but that security will be ready for it. defense secretary chuck hagel quietly notifying congress that six more gitmo detainees will be released to uruguay. this comes weeks after five prisoners were traded for bowe bergdahl. research showing 30% of all gitmo prisoners return to the battlefield. steve? >> all right.

so far there has not been any punishment for sergeant bowe bergdahl, the soldier who abandoned his base five years ago into the hands of the taliban. in fact, he's back on active duty this morning in texas. our next guest, a former navy seal was punished after killing one of the world's most wanted terrorists. joining us now is former navy seal and author of a a book called "battle on the home front." great to have you back. >> thanks for having me on again. >> let's talk first about carl higby. you wrote a book that was critical of the military and politics as well. just simply trying o tell your story. it revealed zero operational details, and yet they did everything they could, the military did, to stop you. >> absolutely. it was critical, but i did identify the president as my commandser in chief, but i disagreed with his policies and i proposed simple solutions to fix the problem. that was it. bergdahl is the problem.

and they stuck him in a desk job back on active duty. >> sure. what's interesting is they were quick to bring charges against you. >> absolutely. >> and yet, with bergdahl, what's going on with him? >> everybody knows this guy has said this guy is a terrorist. he deserted, he's units didn't like him. there was constant problems within the unit before he deserted. yet they still, the state department has not listened to the senior officials. i haven't heard a single good thing said about this guy yet. >> you feel there are some parallels between him and major nidal hasan. >> i think there is. this is not necessarily him, but the fact that the military is not recognized potential inherent threats with hasan. he had justified suicide bombings. he had justified radical islam, yet nobody did anything. and the same thing here with bergdahl. nobody has done any investigation into him. he deserted. attacks your honor -- went up after he deserted. there should be a serious investigation, especially when you have his entire unit saying

that he's no good. >> there has already been a criminal investigation. i think it was concluded in 2009 and there was evidence, there was a note, he left, hey, i don't like it here. i'm sick oftpñ?ñ?ñ?ñ?ñ the miss. they have proof that he walked off the base. >> exactly. butaçñ?ñ?ñ?ñ?ñ? it's not politiy convenient. the obama administration put up these five prisoners for him and it's -- you have army captains right now getting pink slips overseas while their families are here trying to pay bills, yet they're going to give him $350,000 in back pay tax free. >> sure. we have a snippet from his brand-new attorney, bergdahl is lawyered up. we were talking about him yesterday. he was on another morning show today talking about bowe bergdahl and his future. >> we don't have all the facts yet. i know more than you know and i know more than most anybody knows about what happened here and i'm perfectly comfortable defending him.

this is not the place to lay out a defense strategy. what i will say is major general kenneth dahl, doing the investigation for the army, is going to go out, he's got a big team. they're going to talk to everybody in sight and then we'll know a lot more. >> he's going to stay in the military? >> i think he's ready for the next chapter. >> are you horrified that -- they cracked down on you. they took your job away. or gave you a lousy job. here is this guy who many people know, they say they've told us, that he was a deserter, and yet he's got a job. >> it's unbelievable. full pay. they want to retire him with full benefits? this is ridiculous. they need to seriously look into this and it needs to be not politically motivated. our military needs to look into it. our troops that served with him need to be a vital part of that investigation because what they say needs to be heard. >> all right. it's great to hear you. >> thank you very much. next up on this thursday,

facebook or just regular e-mail. for the first time we're learning just how much the immigration crisis is costing. between 250 and $1,000 per child, per day. lawmakers, not happy with that big tab. >> that is unbelievable. and all of us, some gasped. >> what's shocking in the whole room you heard the murmuring of how people were shocked at the cost. >> joining us to weigh in is actor and singer robert davi who comes from a family of immigrants and he's justdpñ?ñ?ñk from touring parts of the world. nice to see you. >> you always give such great in your work. what about the voice now for what's going on at the crisis? your family came here from italy. was is 19202? >> in -- in the early 1900s and between 1915. my father's father was sicilian. he came from sicily and enlisted

in the u.s. infantry, got two purple hearts. then my mother's father, same thing, from naples. but the thing with that, the italian immigrant at that time, and i think a lot of -- prior to the '60s and the '70s was the encouragement of assimilating into the fabric of american society, the american dream, wanting to become americans. and there wasn't an overpopulation of immigrants. so these people were able to assimilate. my grandfather had to learn english. he went to a class and they passed around an apple and he had to say the apple is red. and he couldn't say the apple is red, so he got mad and he said the apple -- and he said something else and threw the apple at the woman. but he learned english. i remember as a young kid around the table, they would say speak da english. >> but your family came in through ellis island.

they signed the guest book. >> yeah, they signed the guest book. i think that's -- i wrote about immigration in 2010. big hollywood. i did an article. friends, romans, gopers, tea partiers, that was the name of the article. and it was about immigration. i had a davi plan of immigration and both sides are at this. both sides are the problem. both sides of the same coin. they push the can down the court and now we've got this catastrophe that's happening. and it's continuing to happening. i think we should freeze immigration right now. the immigration policy, ins should be reshaped because even people trying -- i came up here with a friend -- the driver, was from pakistan. he told me his family ten years trying to come into the country legally and the frustration that they were having trying to come in legally and with documents. somebody from australia told me the same thing. legally. all right.

so the ins is broken. let's fix that. you have to secure the borders. the people that are here, you got to assimilate them. but i think we have to make them learn english, pledge allegiance to the united states of america, none of this -- in london, i was in london recently. there is a section of london that is governed by sharia law only and the police are not allowed to go in there. that's going to happen to america. not from sharia law, but -- the population that's here, not being able to fully understand the american way of life or the values that we've had. we've grown up with. >> one of the ways of life in america is our love of movies. a summer blockbuster season and you make a cameo in "ex pondsables 3". they've÷ñ?ñ?ñ?ñ?ñ? been a huge . tell us about your cameo. >> it's a fun thing to be4qñ?ñ?t of that whole group of guys. i play the head of the albanian

shouldn't be there. >> most of those delays, by the way, are brought on by legal appeals from the prisoner. you have to see this. there is a mysterious crater forming in a remote part of siberia. look at that thing right there. it is known as the end of the world. that hole is 260 feet wide and nobody knows exactly how deep that thing is. look at that. just goes down and down in a dark hole. scientists are taking soil and water samples. the government says it wasn't from a meteor strike. that hole is near a gas field. so there is some speculation that this was caused by some sort of gas explosion. then the incredible moment caught on camera that two divers spear fishing off the mexico find this turtle caught in a fishing line. so they free the turtle and the turtle swims off. but then the turtle circle the back, kind of like he's letting the diver know that he's saying thanks. cute, isn't it? those are your headlines. >> a kiss.

fox news alert. the labor department releasing the brand-new weekly jobless numbers just moments ago. nicole petallides live from the floor of the new york stock exchange with big news. good morning. >> good morning. that's right. we got in our weekly jobless claims. they are slightly better than what was expected by u.s. economists. let's break down the numbers. 302,000 claims came in, jobless for&fñ?ñ?ñ?ñ? 310,000. so that's good news, right? beat the estimates. the other piece of good news slightly less than last week, which is 304,000. we improve by about 2,000. the big picture is over this week we heard from our fed head janet yellen and heard such an array of things from the fed. we know that we've seen the recovery over the last five years. it has been a slow one indeed. however, the market has improved. it's not near where it needs to be.

janet yellen noting the labor force participation rate -- these are americans willing and wanting to work, that it is at over 30-year lows. they're basically saying i'm not even look for a job anymore. there is still that sense of frustration. we're still facing inflation, gasoline and food are still high. and housing, though we've seen the improvement over the last five years, is still a concern. so that's something that we're watching. we got in housing today. weaker than expected. >> some people will be looking for a new job. folks at microsoft. 18,000 folks laid off. that's the largest ever layoff for the software giant. >> largest in history. you are absolutely right. we were expecting the new ceo who took over to streamline the company. they made an acquisition in september of nokia. we knew they were going to be streamlining. but this is a big number, 14% to the pork worse. they will complete this by june 30 of next year.

it will be both professional and factory workers that will be losing their jobs. this is so that microsoft can streamline the company, focus on cloud computing and the like, mobile endeavors, trying to make businesses function more efficiently. this is what the ceo is saying and putting out for the company. but a tough, tough day for 18,000 people over the next year who are going to find out they're losing their job. in the meantime, microsoft stock, new highs. highs yesterday that we saw was the highest level since 2000. intel was up there, ten-year high. markets hit high, stock market is doing well. but americans are still trying to fight back, get in the economy, get the jobs and such. >> nice way to sum it up. nicole petallides down at the corner of wall and broad here in manhattan. >> thanks. coming up here, we're stopping traffic for our heros this morning. the annual "fox & friends" wounded warrior soldier ride kicks off next on 6th avenue.
