morning we start with a fox news alert. two american soldiers dead killed while fighting hamas militants in gaza. >> this as the fighting intensifies. secretary of state john kerry is heading to egypt today with hopes of brokering a cease-fire. >> for more on the escalating situation let's go live to david lee miller in the israeli-gaza border. david, how does it feel today? >> reporter: very stressful. it is another stressful day here along the israel-gaza border. earlier there was a massive barrage of rockets fired by militants into israel. one barrage alone had at least 18 rockets, this targeting central israel. additionally, in the last few hours there were two infiltrations by militants using the tunnels that we have heard so much about. the area where the tunnels are located completely docked down. roads were closed.

people told not to leave their home. at this hour we are told that the infiltration crisis is over, at least ten of the militants have been killed. there are some reports that there may be injuries to some israeli soldiers. as for these tunnels we've heard so much about, apparently it is a very complex network of tunnels in gaza. some of these tunnels are as much as seven stories high. if you were to measure how tall they are under yownd. -- underground. they use a massive amount of concrete, as many as eight tons. if you were to take the same amount of concrete you could construct, according to one analyst here, a high-rise building. this has been a bloody weekend here both in gaza and for israelis. the israeli military intensified its efforts focusing in a neighborhood

where israel believes there is a network of these tunnels, a significant concentration of them. over the weekend 13 israelis died. two of them we are told were dual citizens. 13 soldiers and 2 civilians died. on the palestinian side of this conflict, over the weekend alone at least 100 palestinians were killed in this conflict, more than half in that neighborhood. the palestinian death toll now stands at more than 500. diplomatic continue today. in qatar, the palestinian president meeting with the hamas leadership. john kerry making his way to egypt to try and broker some type of cease-fire. the violence continues. >> good luck. david lee miller live over there with the latest. >> egypt is the one who came up with the truce idea and israelis said sounds good. hamas walked away from it.

since then egypt said hamas is responsible for the deaths. >> the two american deaths, 21 and 24 years old, grew up here, passion for israel and decideed to join their forces later on. that came to a brutal end. >> it is exactly five minutes after the top of the hour. the other top story was thursday morning when malaysia flight 17 was shot out of the sky. over the weekend, drunken rebels have gone through their personal belongings to use their credit cards, stealing them. at gunpoint rebels forced the ragtag recovery efforts to surrender the bodies. they are now stacked, 196 of them, in freezer train cars. >> you think about evidence, the key for any investigation now completely contaminated. 200 bodies there. i mean the idea that you can get in and sort of

evaluate this site, ten miles of confusion on top of mass deaths. this is going to explain why you have britain, france, germany speaking to putin just as late as last night urging him to use his influence to at least have the service respect to get down to what could be behind it. >> many say the russians trained these people, armed these people, gave them access to the sophisticated antiaircraft weaponry. on top of that i'm not even concerned, as many other people about getting to the site for investigators. we have the missiles that shot it. we see the plane that's down. would he see the worldwide condemnation of what they have witnessed as well as the intercepts we've already picked up. we know who's guilty. we know who's in there. the question is what will we do about it? so far we have yet to even

deliver the nonlethal weaponry we promised of bulletproof vests and night vision glasses. the nonlethal stuff isn't there. can we get lethal stuff there? >> forget about the lethal stuff. how about leadership? here is senator lindsey graham. where is our president? >> the world is adrift and president obama has become the king of indecision. his policies are failing across the globe. there is a battle of wills between the k.g.b. colonel and the community organizer and the colonel is winning. >> there was a huge, big he editorial by david cameron m britain, foreign ministers are meeting on tuesday. let's see if europe steps up. >> he said in that memo if putin doesn't change the approach, the west will fundamentally change our approach to russia. on the border it is an absolute crisis and someone is going to kick it into

drive. that someone is governor rick perry. he is set to announce today that he is sending 1,000 national guard troops to the texas border, this after a week of chaos. cartels firing 50-caliber rifles for the first time at our own border patrol agents who had to take cover. >> this is going to cost $12 million a month they say. it is going to slowly build up to 1,000 national guardsmen slowly month by month. what will happen is pearm the national guards -- apparently the national guardsmen will work with the texas department of public safety. the governor is going to justify it in austin today and say all of our border patrol agents are somewhere else baby sitting. we've got to worry about the drug cartels coming this and putting drugs on the major highways. we're going to send down the national guard later on today. for the governor to do that, good for him. >> there was a study led by

a former broarm agent -- border patrol agent concluded in 2013 children flooding across our border was a national problem. instead the obama administration ignored it and after the prediction was named with the unaccompanied which we know happened, and in turn they did nothing about it. they said it was a local problem. yet, they're flooding into our nation. >> senator ted cruz says this is a problem the president actually wants. >> i'll tell you who's holding these kids ransom is harry reid and the president because their view is don't do anything to fix the problem. they don't want to fix the problem. they want to keep having children come in in a situation where they're brutalized. that doesn't make any sense and is not consistent with rule of law. >> meanwhile there are democrats in texas who say if rick perry orders the national guard to the border that is the militarization of the border. the governor's allies says no, we're trying to protect our country from the flow of drugs because the border

patrol is elsewhere making sandwiches and giving kids lunches and taking them to showers. >> heather nauert has a lot to bring us on this monday morning. >> good morning. hope you guys had a good rest of the weekend. imagine you're sleep in the bed in the middle of the night and all of a sudden you are awakened. new overnight, 100 families forced out of their homes after two trains collide spilling diesel fuel. several railcars derailed in slinger, wisconsin, about 35 miles northwest of milwaukee. two workers there have been hurt and right now crews are scrambling to try to clean up that spilled fuel. >> a southwest jet forced to turn around after smoke filled the cockpit. the plane was headed to dallas from texas. it landed back at the airport where fire fighters were waiting for the plane. no one was hurt. a potentially deadly

mosquito borne virus spreading weeks after the first cases were confirmed in florida. massachusetts health officials say a person in melamine mught county is -- plymouth county is infected. it kills on average one in three people. this is considered to be quite dangerous. >> experts suggest avoid wooded or wet areas and wearing deet bug spray to lower your chances of being bitten by this mosquito. >> if you want to be a pop star get yourself on youtube. ♪ ♪ >> that's not youtube but that is exactly how justin bieber was discovered and now universal music is watching. it has partnered with producers in the music industry including russell simmons to create what they're calling awesomeness music. it has two artists and hopes to signed another two by the end of next month.

fox news alert now. two americans fighting for the israeli defense forces have been confirmed dead at this hour and hamas showing no signs of letting up. so why are so many liberals in some cases here in the u.s. painting israel as the bad guy? lieutenant colonel allen west, fox news contributor was wondering the same thing. he says they've got it all wrong. first listen to bill clinton. >> offense the long run it's -- over the long run it is not good for israel to keep isolating itself from world opinion because of the absence of a viable peace process. >> bill clinton, does he speak for a lot of people out and about in this world, colonel? >> i think what you see happening, the protests over in paris, france and london and the protests you see in front of the whitehouse they are undermining israel's credibility. prime minister netanyahu said it succinctly when he

said israel is using its missiles to protect its people but hamas is using its people to protect its people. why should anyone want to side with an islamic organization against a sovereign nation-state? what we have to understand is that when the israelis dragged their citizens out of gaza and turned it over to the quote unquote palestinians, they sought peace. and what they have got in return is incessant rocket fire. they have these tunnels that we have up to 36 tunnels have been identified. this has to stop. we would not tolerate that in the united states of america. >> they don't know when the next tunnel is going to pop up in the middle of israel proper, and that happened this morning, we understand, and four hamas militants have been killed. that's the ultimate terror. you don't even know if the ground you're walking on is the basis of a tunnel. the last point, mr. shalite was kept captive for six years. they wonder if it is going to be them tomorrow. one thing about this i think is heartening to us in the west is there is not

one arab leader who is condemning israel for this push into gaza. in fact, egypt is almost supporting it. even the palestinian people say what happened to the rallying point? is hamas's strategy of getting the arab world and the muslim world to rally around them backfiring? >> well, i think what you see happening in the islamic world is a drive for islamic terrorist and totalitarianism against the secular leadership. you saw that in egypt with the muslim brotherhood rising up. you see that happening in the opposition forces like isis and what they're doing against against bashar al-assad. al sissi has cut off tanls to hamas which is -- off tunnels to hamas. so we do have an ally in egypt but the sad thing is you have an obama administration that is withholding support to

egypt at this time when they were providing tanks and jets to the mohammed morsi muslim brotherhood. >> are you concerned secretary of state kerry rushing to the region will push israel to a truce that will stop their objectives from being realized? >> absolutely. how can you have a cease-fire with a truce with a terrorist organization whose charter, whole reason for existence is to kill every man, woman and child of jewish dis accept and israel? why would we want to have a cease-fire with them? it means you'll come back six months, a year from now and have to do it again. we need to crush hamas. we need to support israel in doing that. >> thank you so much. still straight ahead on our show, on a different note, texting while driving deadly, but a new report says banning cell phones in cars does not make the roads any safer. so what's the problem? the man behind that study

it's 24 minutes after the top of the hour on this monday. let's look at some of the stories you may have missed over the weekend. two people remain in the hospital after a hot air balloon hit power lines in a suburban massachusetts neighborhood and caused an explosion. six people were on board at the time. five of them suffered burns. the f.a.a. is investigating england's future king,

prince george, taking his first steps while celebrating at a peter rabbit theemed birthday party for his first birthday. tomorrow he officially turns one. he is officially adorable. this weekend we said good to legendary actor james garner best known for his role in maverick. his success was on the small and big screen, he was a korean war vet. he received two purple hearts. he was 86 years old and he was a heck of an actor. >> imagine stopping your car at a red light and all of a sudden the cause of this rear end crash, someone texting behind the wheel. in fact, every state but montana has some type of law limiting cell phone use by driving but believe it or not those laws are not making us better drivers. according to a new study, crash statistics haven't changed a bit.

the associate professor of economics at boulder is here to explain. we see people talking, phoning, texting, but this study focused on the calls and one would think less calls, fewer crashes. you say your study found something else? >> that's right. good morning. we went into this thinking that the ban on talking on your hand-held cell phone would have reduced crashes and we expected maybe a 5% to 10% reduction in accidents. when we looked at the data and analyzed it a bunch of different ways, we realized there was no evidence that accidents had gone down after the ban had been put in place. >> how do you explain that? we've seen other studies and i know these involved similarities, people being distracted. it seems counterintuitive that accidents would be

reduced by this. >> there's a couple of possibilities. obviously compliance is an issue. i think that's the first thing people think of, people are not complying with the ban. there are some studies that suggest that the states that have passed these bans have seen a decline in cell phone usage in cars. even if there is compliance it might be important to think about who is complying and how they're complying. if less risky drivers are the people that are complying, then perhaps the more risky drivers are still continuing to talk on their cell phones so you see compliance going up but the roads aren't any safer. at the same time the people who do comply may be switching to other similarly distracting things like playing on their g.p.s. or the radio. compliance could go up but potentially accidents don't go down. >> people who are going to break the rules are going to break the rules and people who are going to follow them will follow them. in 2008, a study surrounded

the six months prior to and after the law. will you do another study with regard to texting? i see more people texting and driving when i'm on the road than calling. >> yeah, i think that would be a great follow-up to take a look at. we haven't done that yet. there have been a few other studies that looked at the impact of the texting bans. when i talk to other people, they echo your opinion that texting is perhaps the more deangous thing than -- more dangerous thing than talking on a cell phone device. >> thank you for joining us this morning on "fox & friends." i will text you later. a police officer runs on to a busy highway to rescue a drunk guy in traffic even though the guy he saved was fleeing arrest. ladies, you know he really loves you. you know how? it is not about what he says. it's how he's saying it. we'll explain that next.

have all this wonderful time for leisure and enjoyment, you'd have a much better quality of life. you're living longer. the assumption is work is bad and the less you do of it the happier you are. i question that assumption. i think a lot of people are fulfilled at work. are we necessarily happier if we're spending four days a week at home as opposed to at work being fulfilled and getting the job done and earning some money? >> the key to what you're talking about is doing something you enjoy. >> yes. >> it's what kind of job -- >> let's be honest now. americans are being forced to work much later in life. in 1990, 11% of 65-year olds were still working. today is's 18%. they're forced to work longer because they don't have the savings -- the crash of 2008 knocked them out. and they want the health benefits that come with working longer.

when do the lyrics pop into your head? >> for that one, it's not a direct parody, it's meant to sound like crosby, stills and nash. i thought it would be fun to take their style of music, which is very idealistic and pair it with something as corporate as those buzz words and meaningless jarringen that you hear in marketing meetings. >> this is not your last album. i've been a fan since the storm sturgeon. this isn't the last of you, is it? >> i have to be careful what i say here because people misunderstand. it very well may be my last actual conventional album. that does not mean that i'm retiring. no, no, no. stop. i mean, at the end of my record contract, i've been under contract for 32 years, since 1982. this is my 14th album.

it's now fulfilled and i'd like to continue making music, but i think albums are not the most efficient way for me to get myself out there, 'cause then i have to wait until i get 12 songs to put out one. i think the best way is do singles. >> in fact, we got a little video from one of the singles you put out called "word crimes" which is a parody of" blurred lines." i remember back in the day when you were the crazy guy with the accordion who actually went to college and became an architect. what weird turn did you make to wind up here? >> well, i did go to college and got my degree. about my third year in school, i realized that architecture wasn't really my passion. everybody else in class really was into designing and building and positive and negative space. and i kind of liked comedy and music and doing the stuff on the campus radio station. so i gave it a shot and luckily i was able to make a living

ought of being weird al. >> i tell you, "word crimes" is fantastic. if you're an english teacher, download it for your class because it is fantastic. >> and all parents, too. >> later we'll find out why you majored in architecture at all. thanks. congratulations. >> thank you very much. >> go on line and bound load one. coming up, vladimir putin continues to flex his military might. what would donald trump say if he had the chance to talk to putin on the phone? trump joins us in a couple of minutes. >> and it may be the first arrest of its kind. the key to the case? this selfy. >> by the way, i'm tacky. ♪ ♪

yes. thank you for joining us. it's monday morning. you are watching "fox & friends" >> hello, this is weird al and apparently you're watching "fox & friends". ♪ last night i was taking a bath ♪ ♪ long about a saturday night >> it just looks like a regular car parked at 48th and 6th avenue. but that's a nissan leaf, electric. you know what? it has some sort of special paint so that it never gets dirty. >> it's a self-cleaning car. your oven can do it. why not your car? >> you have to turn on the car? >> no. >> we're going to show what you it does within the hour here. we have a lot happening overnight and this morning. heather nauert is here with those headlines for us. >> good morning to you. so many developments from over

the weekend and this morning. israel and also hamas, two american born israeli soldiers were killed fighting. the two men were both born in america. they moved to israel and joined the israeli defense force. one was a sergeant and the other a sharp shooter. you can see their pictures right there. john kerry heads to egypt today with hopes of broker ago new cease fire. sunday proved to be the bloodiest day yet. 100 palestinians and 13 israelis were killed. here at home, haz-mat crews scrambling to clean up 5,000 gallons of diesel fuel. the mess was made when two cargo trains collided in wisconsin, about 35 miles northwest of milwaukee. several cars derailed there. 100 families have been forced from their homes. two workers suffered injuries as a result. smoke pouring into a cockpit

forcing a southwest jet to turn around moments after takeoff. the plane was headed from austin, texas to dallas. landed after 9:30 p.m. last night. firefighters were waiting for the plane. still no word on what caused that smoke. if you steal something, don't post it on line. a pregnant woman, she was busted in illinois for stealing clothes and jewelry after she posted these selfies wearing the stolen dress. yeah. she posted it on facebook. the shop's co-owner put a post and people saw it and they called the cops. the woman has just been released from the pokey, but faces retail theft charges. those are your headlines. put that on stupid pranks. >> absolutely. >> thanks, guys. from stupid criminal to smart billionaires. donald trump, welcome back. >> good morning. >> first, it's hard to get your eyes off the stand-off between russia and the rest of the world how do you think our president

is doing when it comes to squaring off with vladimir putin beginning this week after the horrific killing of 293 people? >> brian, it's so obvious, he's doing terrible. putin is having a field day. he has no respect for the president and he has probably no respect for our country. it's got to change. it's got to change rapidly. he's doing things that you normally wouldn't do. but he has zero respect for the president. with that being said, europe is doing nothing either. and it affects them far greater than it affects us. they're there. europe is doing absolutely nothing. you could also say why isn't the president getting europe to act? he's holding them hostage, putin, with the oil and gas. they are really in a position, when you look at germany, they're doing zero. when you look at other countries in europe, they're doing zero and we're doing everything. and there is something about that that when we talk about taking over parts of europe, that's affecting europe a lot

more so than affecting us. they should be doing something. perhaps it's up to the president to get them to do something. >> that would be refreshing. folks just getting up and we're not paying attention to the news, it was thursday when malaysia flight 17 was shot out of the sky. they've been covering their tracks. it looks like we've seen the evidence that they took the missile launcher back to russia. it was putin's equipment and his rebels. this chaos at the crash site. the rebels with guns forced the rescue people to take 196 bodies and put them on a refrigerated train. it does look as if they are trying to destroy the evidence so they don't incriminate the kremlin. donald trump, you know what? even though -- you've said our president is doing a bad job. listen to this sound bite. according to john kerry, the secretary of state, this administration has a great foreign policy everywhere. >> i think the american people

ought to be proud of what this president has done in terms of peaceful, dip mottic engagement rather than quick trigger, deploying troops, starting or engaging in a war of choice. i think the president's on the right track and i think we have the facts to prove it. >> okay. is the president on the right track or is mr. kerry living in a dream world? >> i'm sure the secretary of state was just being sarcastic and having fun. i'm sure that was a comedy routine and i'm certain leisure that he can't mean it. it's a catastrophe. the entire world is collapsing around us. how that affects us? time will tell. we've had the worst year. from every single standpoint, we have had the worst couple of years ever in the history of this country relative to the world. so i'm sure that he's kidding and does not mean it. i would imagine, elisabeth, that today he'll issue a statement saying i was only joking.

>> but perhaps -- this week he heads to hollywood. during a crisis like this, we know where we can find him, fundraising. in the past six years, he's attended 395 fundraising events. for 2014 alone he's averaging a fund-raiser about every six days. during this time with all that's going on, and you listed some of the crises factors, should he be doing this? on days like benghazi, he was in las vegas the next day in 2012. you look down at the border, i need to go see what's happening with thousands and thousands of illegals crossing in here. some of which are gang members, and he doesn't get there. this is almost seemingly impossible to think that the leader of the free world is just having a party during a time like this. you say? >> incribly the other day when the plane had just been shot down and it was the big story and everybody, that's all people could talk about, i was landing in la guardia awas diverted to kennedy because la

guardia was closed because obama was here for a fund-raiser. that actually took place in one of my buildings, i'm happy to say. so i wish a lot of luck to those people that had it. it was a fund-raiser. the city was in total bedlam. you couldn't get in, you couldn't get out. the streets were closed, the streets were blocked and everybody was angry. and then they found out that obama was here for a fund-raiser actually gave two fund-raisers. it's crazy. who would give a fund-raiser the day the plane was shot down? unbelievable. and he gave two. the city was in gridlock. the airport was closed and all over a fund-raiser. interestingly, he raised a million dollars and it cost anywhere from six to $10 million. so you think they could make a deal with the government where the government would say look, we'll give you two. just stay home. >> that cost us $6 million and gives the democratic party $1 million. there should be some type of

rule about that for any president to be using air force one going around for fund-raisers where it brings major cities to a halt. >> what is behind his decision making to choose the party over getting back and really taking care of work, at least appearing to take care of work and not be focused on raising money? >> when you think, a man spends six to $10 million to come in and collect a million dollars and that's the way our whole country is going, 'cause that's our economics now, that's the economics of the united states, it's a shame and it shouldn't be allowed. >> it's just the way the rules are written. but when you think about considering all the fund-raisers, it does look right now like our foreign policy is speak softly and carry a big golf club 'cause if he's not fundraising, he's golfing. speaking of that, you got a whole bunch of golf courses as part of the trump empire and tell us about that brand-new hotel down in washington, d.c. >> well, the old post office is probably the best location in washington, right between the white house and congress on

pennsylvania avenue and it's been a long process where the government was essentially selling it and there were over 100 bidders and they broke it down to ten and about two years ago, i won it. we start construction of one of the great hotels of the world. i think it has a chance to be truly one of the great hotels of the world locateeled in washington. a lot of jobs. a lot of jobs to build it, a lot of jobs to operate it. we're taking this incredible building, really one of the most beautiful buildings in the country and we're making it into a magnificent hotel with the largest luxury ballroom in washington, d.c. and maybe they don't have to have a tent on the white house grounds. i offered to build them a ballroom and we never heard back. i was going to spend $100 million to build a ballroom free for them, 'cause i see these tents when we have foreign dignitaries come in. it's not right. >> now you're building a proper ballroom. >> we are building a proper ballroom and one of the fine hotels of the world.

>> when we go to the washington correspondents dinner or christmas party, would you want to go into negotiations with us? we usually stay at the hyatt or george. would you like to make us an offer to stay at your place? >> i will. and there will be no hotel in the country like what we are building. it's going to be special. it's going to be amazing. by the way, that's why we were chosen. trump was chosen to build it because it was just better than any other proposal. >> i think it's funny you say we actually stay in a hotel. we sleep on james rowsen's hide a bed. thank you very much. we'll see you back here next monday. >> thank you very much. it's 7:11 here in new york city. what's the plan to punish the weapons to shoot down the passenger plane, which it looks like? more sanctions? our next guest has a better idea. congressman mike rogers from the house intel committee joins us live next. and airline tickets about to get more expensive and you can thank the government for that. the service has been so

the fallout from malaysian airline killing seems to be resetting u.s.-russia relations and back to cold war levels. that according to the chairwoman of the senate intelligence committee. she is laying the blame on vladimir putin. >> and i would say putin, you have to man up. you should talk to the world. you should say if this was a mistake, which i hope it was, say it, even if it was a mistake, it's horrendous mistake to make. and i think it points out the

futility of what's happening in the ukraine because there will be repercussions from this. >> what are they, though? the question is what will the president do? it's got to come from the white house. it's got to come from america. joining us now, congressman mike rogers. chairman, thankfully no one denies that the russian separatists are behind this. we don't even need to recover the evidence there. acting humanely would help. what do we do now and how important is it for us to act quickly? >> it's very important, brian, that we act very, very quickly. the president has an opportunity here to engage putin in a way that would rally the european union, rally the support of americans in a way that i really haven't seen before. this is an unmitigated tragedy where he's really massacred 295 people by paying fast and loose with these weapons system that are very lethal and dangerous and sophisticated. now is the time to step up, to go back and say we're going to

reengage with the missile defense system in poland and the czech republic. we're going to conduct joint military operations the way we used to do in germany in poland right near the russian sphere of influence to show we are serious about this, that we are not going to allow putin to go unfettered and at the same time, i think that rallies the europeans to finally join us in a robust sanctions program that can really bring putin to his knees. there has been a lot of nibbling at the edges. this is the time, the opportunity and i think the responsibility to get this thing right. >> is the cold war back? if tensions are back to cold war levels, why are we back -- are we back in the cold war? >> i don't think we have to go as far as the deep and long and trenched cold war. remember, they were holding satellite nation states that they used as proxies in their buffer zone across the soviet union. i don't see that nearly as much. i do think that putin is trying to push back on nato in a way

that's really unhealthy to countries that don't want to be part of the russian federation and he keeps making these saber rattling threats that are pretty serious, as we've seen. i don't think we have to get that far. i do think you have to ramp up. he will understand certainty and strength. right now we don't have either of those. >> in times like this of crises, other presidents reached to chairman like yourself and important committees like you are. doesn't matter the party. they say how do we get together on this? has the white house reached together on this to you guys? >> i have not gotten invited to one of those fund-raisers he's had across the country. unfortunately, no, there is not a robust engagement the way that we were used to on really sensitive national security issues or way forward. we get dribs and drabs, but no robust engagement with the white house and the national security council. >> i'm seeing a democratic congressman, menendez talking as tough as a lot of republicans in

congress. are you uniting to maybe push the white house to do something that you think is suitable in a situation like this? >> it's interesting. we were united on our counterterrorism policy that the white house has kind of veered from. that's been a bipartisan effort, pushing back on them. there has been good bipartisan push to the president to do something more significant in ukraine and do it earlier by offering a intelligence packages and training. those kind of things. it's a bipartisan effort mainly because the focuses that are working on these security committees in congress spend a lot of time getting to understand these issues. even the iranian deal last week they came to brief the iranian deal about the extension for four months and everybody there said why are you giving them more money? you shouldn't do it. the next day they announced they're giving more money. so there has been a bipartisan push that i really have not seen in congress in a long time, pushing back on the president's foreign policy and they have an absolute tin ear. >> it's amazing because you could unite the country in a

situation like that and use it for other issues. instead, they're just doing it on their own. chairman mike rogers, always great to talk to you. thanks so much. >> thanks. >> maybe the white house was just listening. a deadly virus spreading through mosquitoes and has been found out on the east coast. dr. siegle is here with his insight on insects. and an iraq war veteran says his ducks are the only things that help him with ptsd. guess what? they're taking them away.

massachusetts. >> how common is it and what precaution december we need to take? dr. mark siegle joining us now with more information on this. sounds incredibly scary. first of all what, is this virus? >> this virus is actually the eastern equine encephalitis, it's a horse virus more than a human one. birds harbor it. birds harbor it and a certain mosquito takes it and transfers it from birds to horses. the only way we get it is if a different mosquito hijacks it and bites us. the mosquito that's involved here doesn't go anywhere near us. because of this, and i'll tell you why i'm giving you the medical details, this makes it incredibly rare for humans to get it. we only have four to six cases every year. now, if you have it you and get brain swelling from it and you get a severe headache and fever and body aches, it can be deadly. so we need to know about it, but what i also want to talk about

is the fear that comes from worrying about things like this when you hear some super name, eee. you think oh, oh, that, can get me. or another we've in florida, that can get me. these are not going to get you. they're very, very rare. four to six cases a year. but it's a wake-up call for protecting yourself against mosquitoes. >> okay. so they're very, very rare. but at the same time, you've got west nile virus out there, which a lot of people actually do contract. but it all comes back to the how do you protect yourself against the mosquito, 'cause there is a possibility it could be west nile, ee, it could just be a healthy mosquito biting you. >> this is the time of year it happens. what do we do? >> i'm glad you brought up west nile 'cause that's a cousin of this. this is a bird virus. the viruses that infect birds that mosquitoes give us are the ones that can give us this brain swelling. what do you do this time of year? first of all, you don't let

mosquitoes breed near you. don't leave swamp water or standing water in your backyard. wear long sleeved clothing as much as possible. use insect repellant with deet, or oil of lemon eucalyptus. that works. that's a home remedy that works. i like deet. that's very powerful. you should use that, watch your kids. make sure they're covered. don't stay out in areas where there is a lot of swamp water. there is no treatment for this. there is no vaccine for this. if you get it, all we can do is treat you supportively with fluids, keep your fever down. 'cause these viruses give you very high fever and they give you a lot of headaches and brain swelling. that's what weigh worry about. >> and that brain swelling can kill you. >> if you got eee, one third of the time you can die from it. again, i do not want to scare people out there. i want you to understand this is very, very rare. this segment is more about watching out for mosquitoes, than eee. it's in the eastern seaboard, in

the caribbean. chances are you won't get it. >> all right. thank you very much for make a studio call today. >> good to see you. take a look at your tv right here. is this a choke hold or is it not? a little earlier there was what looked like a choke hold. the bad news is, the man now dead and police under fire. hear why they say the move was necessary. and your first look at this car. it cleans itself. we're going to put it to the test live on the plaza. >> whoa! it slides right off. >> ♪ ♪ shopping online is as easy as it gets.

eric holder and mr. cole. i think he's right on the law that a special counsel isn't warranted, but i think as a crisis manager, the irs e-mail, missing e-mail story raises so many questions that special counsel that reports to eric holder, not an independent counsel -- from a standpoint of public optics would be a good way to instill confidence in that investigation because i never believed it was political targeting. at the end of the day, we have no evidence of that. this is a matter of public confidence and those e-mails missing bothered me and the fact that we still have no explanation, a special counsel might actually help eric holder, who i. >> ly admire, conduct that investigation without raising questions that some people might raise in a political arena. >> one of the reasons a lot of people say something went on there was the irs in the form of lois lerner actually came out and apologized. yeah, we shouldn't have done this and we did it and we're sorry. so that leads people to believe

something went hay wire. this has been a textbook case of mismanagement when it comes to when you're in a crisis, what should you do? they should have spent 12 bucks and bought your book because they have done it all along. >> especially since i don't think the fact, at least to date, support political targeting by the irs, when would be a crime and which would be horrible and happened in the nixon administration and we democrats were outraged. so if you have those kinds of at least the facts are on your side as i perceive them, then be transparent. put all those e-mails out yourself, explain in detail why you can't find them. and invite a special counsel, even though eric holder can do the job, in my opinion, without one. mr. cole is probably right as a matter of law. i think politics would require transparency and being pro-active and that's the crisis management rule. >> right. talking about politics, if this were a republican administration, every democrat would be calling for some sort of a special counsel, special

investigator, something like that. just for everybody to be sitting on their hands except you -- i know you are friends with hillary clinton. does she feel the same we you do? >> i have no idea. i never speak with hillary. i'm a friend. >> i tell you what, just call her up right now and put it on speaker. let's listen. okay? >> i never speak to hillary clinton, but i've known her since her last name was rodham and she's one of the great friends i've ever had, period. >> we know she's a good friend of yours and vice-versa. always a pleasure. >> thank you. >> let's hope somebody is listening and they do something. >> thank you, steve. straight ahead, if it wasn't for alcohol, america wouldn't exist? that's what our next guest says and he has some proof, too. get it? first on this date in 1968, arnold palmer became the first golf tore make a million dollars in career earnings. i had an arnold palmer drink yesterday, unrelated. in 2007, harry potter and the deadly hollows, final book in the series, released. in 1992, number one song in

>> right. what is behind that theory? >> the thing i'm trying to argue in the book is that alcohol was a civilizing influence. before we learned to take fermentation, this natural process and turn it into something where we want to do make a drink out of it, that's what made us plant farms. some people argue it was grain so we could make bread. i'm on the side of those who say it's so we could make beer. >> this is about making the beer. not drinking the beer. it's about drinking -- it's about making the alcohol. not drinking the alcohol. >> we know how to drink it. >> i'm in favor of that, too. in moderation, of course. but what i'm saying is that taking this natural process, domesticating it, taming it and applying the kind of technology that human beings can build, that's with made us from home hough -- homo sapiens to people.

>> you say it's the single most important event in human history how many drinks have you had? >> i do think that. i think that what we were able to do in learning how to make this stuff is what made us into -- what let us learn how to make other things. >> it certainly helped us learn to relax. i love the story about johnny appleseed. since you're a little kid, you hear about him out passing around the seeds to glow the apple trees. not for the apples? >> no, for cider and apple jack. >> what do you have for us here? what can you tell us about the drinks in fronts of us? >> i wanted to set up this process art. most of the time when people talk about booze, they talk about categories. but what i wanted to get at is if you put the ingredients aside, the processes, the technologies and sciences are the same. so just going in order, so that's beer. grain, fermented. heap of sugar, that one is

moonshine. you distill beer and get a clear moon shine. that is bourbon. you age it and get the bourbon. that's what the brown is. grape juice? ferment that, you get wine. distill that, you get unaged brandy. age that and you get brandy. these are all different categories, but really it's the same stuff. >> the book is fascinating. i'll drink to that. >> it's on the "new york times" best seller list? >> really? >> congratulations. >> thanks. straight ahead, secretary of state john kerry heading to israel to help calm the violence, but is anybody going to listen? bret baier joins us live on the other side of a brief timeout. ♪ ♪v4mmxl]u

happening in gaza over my shoulder is the border. as i speak, my remarks may be punctuated by the boom, boom, boom, the constant boom of artillery. for the last few minutes the area of gaza now on your screen, has been taking a very heavy pounding. we've heard the regular rhythm of israeli artillery. this going on now for at least the last 30 minutes. overhead we heard very close to our position an israeli missile heading in the direction of gaza. a short time ago, israel's prime minister, netanyahu, saying the military is advance not guilty gaza according to plan and the operation will expand gradually until the mission is accomplished. by that he means, quote,alm. meanwhile, it has been a bloody weekend for both sides. israeli forces moving in on the neighborhood that is the neighborhood of gaza city. israel says there is a large concentration of infiltration tunnels. israeli forces were on the ground, babbled up by shelling, as well as air strikes. they had warned israel.

israel warned residents to leave. hamas told them not to. there was mass devastation. in this area alone, at least 60 minutes in this neighborhood have been killed. the total death toll now standing at over 500, many of them women and children. the u.n. is now saying that 80,000 palestinians have been displaced. also on the israeli side, over the weekend 13 israeli soldiers were killed as you mentioned. two of them dual nationals. they were also american citizens. the death toll now stands at 18 israeli soldiers killed in this ongoing conflict, in addition to two civilians and lastly, diplomacy efforts continue. at this hour, it is believed the palestinian president meeting with the exiled leader of hamas in qatar. that may able to move diplomacy forward. qatar having a key role because they bank roll many of the operation of hamas in gaza.

>> hamas is telling anybody who stays there an innocent victims. he was talking about diplomacy. let's dial in bret baier from our nation's capitol. our top diplomat, john kerry, heading east to talk peace. but are people going to even listen to the united states anymore, because to many, it seems like the united states has lost a lot of respect in the world policy stage. >> i don't think there are many people around the world who will disagree that the u.s. has lost juice on the global community stage. and you're right, there is a sense of how much leverage will the u.s. have? this seems to me that the efforts by secretary kerry and the u.n. secretary general in cairo deal more with the rising death toll and tapping into the feelings that it has gotten to a point where both sides need to

get to the table, even some officials in the idf have said we have done what we need to do. so there are sounds and statements from israel that seem that it's heading that way. we'll have prime minister netanyahu on "special report" tonight and i'll ask him just that. >> good. >> bret, so we're in a world, global crisis here, everywhere you turn there is something going on and doesn't seem to be getting any better. speaking of secretary kerry, i want to shift it back to russia and ukraine here. he didn't use very strong words directed at putin himself. he did say there is evidence that actually links the weaponry there to russia, that was used to take down that flight, kill 298 people. it's actually senator diane feinstein who came up and said, you know what, putin? why don't you man up? she had stronger language than he did. listen up. >> so the issue is where is putin? and i would say putin, you have

to man up. you should talk to the world. you should say if this was a mistake, which i hope it was, say it, even it it was a mistake, it's a horrendous mistake to make and i think it points out the futility of what's happening in the ukraine. >> is word on the ground in washington that they would like secretary kerry to step up the language? >> listen, the two most forceful statements we've heard are from two women, the u.n. -- u.s. ambassador to the united nations, sam that power had a very strong speech initially in which she said russia is -- must end this war, pointing directly to russia. and senator feinstein, who very well knows the intelligence around this as the chair of the senate intelligence committee. i don't think there is any doubt now in the intelligence circles that russian separatists are behind it.

and there is not a lot of doubt that russia provided those separatists the sa 11 and the training to bring down this missile. the doubt is how much the government is going to push russia specifically. you didn't see a lot of it this weekend, but it may be growing. it's clearly grown more since the president came out and didn't have a lot of pointed words overall. >> if you look at all the chaos around the world, we're not responsible, but people are wondering what we're doing about it. the secretary of state was asked over the weekend, how is it going? he believes the critics are not being fair. listen to him. >> i think the american people ought to be proud of what this president has done in terms of peaceful, diplomatic engagement rather than quick trigger deploying troops, starting or engaging in a war of choice. i think the president's on the right track and i think we have the facts to prove it. >> do you think that's the sentiment throughout his party, because senator me then did he say, adam schiff, other democrat high school a different tone?

>> there is clearly concern about the obama foreign policy across both sides of the aisle and it's not just on ukraine and russia. it's not just on syria. it's not just on isis in iraq. it is not just on a number of fronts. iran and this negotiation that seems to be going on forever. there is real concern about it. and there seems to be some disconnect between that statement, the statement of josh earnest saying that the administration has helped create tranquility in the global community. that's just not sitting well with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle. i think there is this argument that the administration makes that by not getting involved in a war, that that is a victory. but critics would say that not doing something is also a choice. and they're not doing a lot on a number of fronts. >> sure. our own ed henry asked the president about his policy, the obama doctrine. he said, well, sometimes we get

singles, sometimes we get some doubles. in this case, sometimes we ground out and unfortunately, the whole world is watching. >> we'll see what happens this week, if they can negotiate a cease fire, that would be a major step forward. obviously the pressure is on putin. >> it is indeed. >> and then you got the middle east where john kerry will be today, i believe, and foreign ministers are meeting tuesday in brussels in europe. so we'll see what's going on. >> we'll be watching you tonight at 6:00 p.m. eastern time, mr. bret bret. >> that sounds good. >> thanks. a lot more to bring you. heather nauert joins us. >> good morning. i've got news here. we've been talking about foreign news. haz-mat crews scrambling to clean up 5,000 gallons of diesel fuel. the mess happened when two cargo trains collided in slinger, wisconsin, about 35 miles northwest of milwaukee. several cars derailed there and now 100 families have been forced from their homes. two workers have suffered injuries. terrifying moments for an

headaches and brain swelling. that's what we worry about. >> he says areas to avoid, standing water and to wear bug spray that has deet and that will help lower your chances of getting bitten by one of these mosquitoes. the first time they were together, now brad and angelina will share the big screen once again. ♪ ♪ >> that was mr. and mrs. smith a few years back. they will now co-star in an upcoming drama. she wrote the script and will direct the film. they haven't appeared together on screen since that 2005 movie and they now have six kids together. those are your headlines. >> mr. and mrs. smith and their six kids. >> exactly. >> thank you, heather. coming up, the ruling just in from the bench. parents, it's okay to spank your kids. your e-mails, they are pouring in on this one.

and at the same time in ukraine, russia shoots down a passenger jet liner. how does the united states respond? nothing. here to weigh in is fox news legal analyst, peter johnson, jr. >> different sides of the same coin, you're right. this is a new era of wishful thinking and hopeful waiting in the obama administration. let's consider this, over the weekend, steve, we had an attack on border patrol agents using these powerful 50 caliber weapons. they could kill from you a mile away multiple times the power of an m 16. border patrol then says, we have no comment on that and we're told by congressman gohmert and border patrol agents that this is unprecedented. the fact that perhaps mexican drug cartel folks firing .50 caliber weapons across the rio grande at american agents and our response is, we can't

confirm or deny that. where have we come to? we also found out over the weekend that the white house knew in 2012 and 2013 about this invasion from governor perry and from the university of texas and we also know that the white house is kind of tricky about telling, well, yeah, there is a problem with the children coming across and the violence and like that. didn't tell you there were family units that came across at a rate five times in the past. so we have these undocumented children, but we also have entire families, both, both amount to a new invasion. nothing is being done. >> you know, the administration doesn't want to comment on the .50 caliber guns being shot at our guy because they're trying to pretend nothing bad is going on. >> nothing bad is going on. if you ignore it long enough and wear enough top hats and cut aways and make believe it's 1914 and you talk in soft language and say this is easy listening, this is not really a big thing going on and john kerry looks

serious and the best he can say is, we really need an investigation, what happened last week was a national disgrace. at one moment we have people firing across the border at us. at the second moment we have a plane going down and the best we can summon is, well, we'll have a really serious international investigation and we hope -- we hope this is an offramp for mr. putin to understand the error of his ways. and maybe, maybe we can galvanize our european allies to do nothing, but as it turns out, only one american died, so we're not going to get too upset about it. we're going to let the russians do what they want with ukraine, and next they'll take ukraine and what can we really do about it because they're all russians anyway. what do we really care? senator lindsey graham says leading from behind is not working in 2014. he said it yesterday. listen to what he said. >> leading from behind is not

working. the world is adrift and president obama has become the king of indecision. his policies are failing across the globe and -- >> well, we've got a court of indecision, a court of watchful waiting and hopefulness. we hope it gets better. we'll wait and see. we'll talk to them. we'll hold their hand. we'll convince them. we'll engage in moral persuasion. we'll discuss it in a kind way with mr. putin. maybe ignore the .50 caliber bullets flying across the rio grande and jet skis and wave runners moving people across in order to taunt us. that really doesn't matter because in the end, it's going to work out. you know what? there is going to be a new crisis and new fund-raiser that we can attend and you'll forget about what happened last week. i think our job is to make sure people don't forget and understand the issues that are going on today. two sides of the same coin, indecision. it will fall one way or the other. heads, tails, yeah.

we thought maybe there is a 50% chance of that. same response. nothing. >> peter johnson, jr. >> wish i was more optimistic. let's move ahead. >> there are a lot of people watching going, he is spot on. >> wish i wasn't. >> thank you. coming up, this technology exists that could have prevented the malaysian jet liner from being shot out of the sky. our next guest says yes and it is available for passenger planes right now. what does that involve? you'll find out. the stunning video of a hot air balloon -- look at that -- when it hit power lines. this morning, big update on that.

missile defense systems on board all airliners. republican senator mark kirk saying, quote, i think they should actively look into mounting active defenses on civil aircraft carrying hundreds of people, a pilot in command could dispense a counter measure to defeat a missile. could new defense technology have saved flight mh 17 from an attack? here to tell us more is our guest. >> just below the belly of an aircraft are these gadgets that take an hour to install. one airline is installing them. what it is, it's counter measure technology and it costs roughly a million dollars for this. the question is, how come we're not already using this on every single commercial aircraft, if there is a remote possibility that even though this was a buk

missile, very powerful missile that was alleged to have hit this aircraft, even with the shoulder missiles that will be more prevalent cause the costs are coming down, they're easier to get into the market, this has the potential of stopping all of these types of missiles. >> how does this work? this what does it do if it were in the plane and why don't we use it? >> here is what's great about this technology. you're in the aircraft. you're the pilot on the flight deck and you need to do nothing. this system is automatic. it will detect the signature of a missile on its way. it detects that warning. and it immediately, within milisecond, starts to react by confusing the missile or sending a deterring beam to the missile that causes it to explode right there. takes it off track, confuses it, otherwise it can also create clones of other aircraft around so the missile doesn't know where to go at that point. now, the pilot doesn't even know this is happening, by the way. and then all of a sudden, now

that it's neutralized, the warning comes into the flight deck and also goes to atc, air traffic control and says we have just encountered this. take the appropriate evasive maneuvers now and we'll continue to fight this. but we have just detected a missile and we have neutralized it and then the pilot then can divert or do whatever they possibly can at that point to get out of that danger zone. >> what does it cost? ultimately we see costs rising when it comes to flights commercially. we see cuts being made through airlines. what is the cost to have this? >> you see tsa saying it costs more to keep our skies safe. some say this is a dollar per ticket would cover the cost of this, which is $1 million per plane. airlines don't want to spend the money on this. so where is the money going to come from? well, it could be coming from the tsa's budget if someone were to push harder. in 2004, there was legislation that caused homeland security to

investigate whether this would be good technology to have on aircraft. so it obviously can work. would it have saved the 298 souls on this flight? we're not sure. we're not sure if that missile was too big, too fast to grab it, but it certainly is a threat that's the future that needs to be addressed. >> if el al can have it, there is no reason why we should be behind. always great to have you here. >> thank you. coming up, the ruling just in from the bench. parents, it's okay to spank your kids. your e-mails are pouring in on this one. and the senate minority leader here in the studio. are we letting iran off the hook giving them their money back before they stop making those nukes? that is up next. ♪ ♪

fox news alert. the deadline for nuclear enrichment with iran passed yesterday. that was the deadline. despite levels of enrichment brought to lower levels, iran is still defying the world and continuing to do their research. on fox news sunday, chris wallace pressed john kerry on this very issue. here is the give and take. >> instead of sanction, iran will get $2.8 billion more in assets that we have frozen instead of sanctions even though there is no deal and they continue their research and enrichment. >> actually, chris, they're reducing their enrichment and the fact is that this is the first time in ten years under this current deal that iran's nuclear program is being rolled

back. i know you and others don't ever want to give the obama administration credit for almost anything, but the fact is this is the first administration to get a rollback in those ten years and right now israel and countries in the region and the world are safer -- no, no. chris, you like to ask questions but you don't like to get answers. let me answer. >> they are able to continue work on their centrifuge. >> chris, i don't care how many questions you ask, i'm going to finish my answer. >> okay. joining us now with his reaction is senate minority leader senator mitch mcconnell. welcome to the couch. >> glad to be here. >> your reaction? he says he is the first administration getting to roll back their program. >> here is the problem, the iranians know that the president has people like to talk, so they're going to talk as long as they can. what we have been recommending, which the president interestingly enough, threatened to veto, was that the talks were fine, but at the end of this

period, which ended july 20, they would get tougher sanctions. not weaker. >> if they didn't get a deal. >> if they didn't get a deal. we didn't interrupt the talks, but if the talks didn't work, tougher sanctions. the president threatened to veto that in the state of the union, which means, to me, we like talking and the iranians have figured out that we like talking. >> does that mean you're not going to do anything in the senate to ratchet up the sanctions? >> the majority has been preventings from having that vote. the reason they prevented us from having that vote is they were fearful we had the vote and would actually win. so here we are again. we passed the july 20 deadline. the talks continue. they say for another four months. i think it makes sense to advocate that at the end of that period of talking, at the very least, you get tougher sanctions. not easier sanctions. >> let's talk about another failure of the administration. on our southern border now, it's pretty much an invasion. eight-year-old kids are walking across and border patrol agents

15 miles in are having to become baby-sitters. later today in austin, rick perry is going to announce that he's going to order up 1,000 national guardsmen to the southern border. what's your reaction to that? >> i think it's a good idea. we know how it stop this. we know how to stop this. you need to detain the children humanely and send them home. >> what about changing the law? >> well, the reason most of these youngsters are not coming from mexico and can did is because we did change the law in 2008, which allowed humane detention and immediate return without going into all of the legal processes that these youngsters from central america are subjected to. typically what happens, they're brought before an immigration judge. they're given a date sometime in the future and released into the custody of someone and they never come back. so look, they need to -- it's very, very simple. if the word got out that you'd

be humanely detained, immediately returned, it would stop. doesn't require massive amounts of federal assistance that the president asks for. >> evidently we had this problem with brazil and did that. >> did exactly that. and another interesting point, i got the impression that secretary of homeland security, jay johnson, is for this. but he seems to have been overruled by the white house, which has apparently decided, because we know the president requested almost $4 billion to throw money at the problem, that isn't going to stop it. >> senator, i have to ask you, we heard just friday the numbers coming through, family units crossing the border, not just children as we keep hearing from the administration, five times higher are the family units, they're coming since 2013. 55,420 groups coming in. not to mention members of gangs that have been confirmed by some border control there. this problem being blamed on republicans by the president. are you to blame? >> it has nothing to do -- he wants to say this is because we didn't pass comprehensive immigration reform last year.

has absolutely nothing to do with that. what it further illustrates is how insecure the border is, which is a reason why the american people were reluctant to support comprehensive immigration because until you secure the border, nothing else makes sense. >> senator lindsey graham said if we do not come up with comprehensive immigration reform by 2016, republicans can't win the white house. your reaction? >> well, i think right now we need to demonstrate that we can secure the border by getting these youngsters back home as quickly as possible. until the american people see us have some success with border security, i don't think they're going to be open to the broader question of comprehensive immigration reform. >> let's talk about the story of one young girl, muna, who was from mali. she was here in this country and then back in 2011 her father abducted her, took her back to mali. her mother, dr. hunter, has spent years trying to bring her back. thanks to work of you and others, the little girl is now finally reunited with her

mother. >> her mother is the hero. she contacted us a couple of years ago and honestly, we aren't sure we could ever get this little girl back. but through her persistence and our sort of harassing the ambassador in mali, it had a wonderful ending. the american ambassador showed up at the court proceeding. the government at our urging gave custody to dr. hunter, who had flown over a couple weeks ago. the ambassador took her to the airport and literally saw her off. i had the opportunity to meet her at the airport when she got here. it was a wonderful story. >> it was a tough nut to crack because the guy who abducted his daughter was from a very influential family. >> he was. and it took a lot of american pressure to break through that, but the real hero of the story,

heroine, is dr. hunter. she never gave up. she thought this could be done. we to her insistence and had a good outcome. >> yeah. optimistic about your race? you're up six points in the latest poll? >> yeah. we're going to win. it's big race. when you're the leader of one of the parties in the senate, you're a big target for the other side. every crazy liberal in the country knows who i am and they're sending money to my opponent. >> senator mitch mcconnell, thank you very much for dropping by. >> glad to be here. >> thank you. turn around right there and you'll watch heather nauert do the news. >> hello. welcome to new york. >> he can stay. >> i've got news to bring you. the families of the 298 people on board flight mh 17 are making a plea to pro-russian rebels right now to release the bodies of their loved ones and let those families finally grieve. at least 193 victims were dutch citizens and their families are now meeting behind closed doors today with the king and queen of the netherlands asking them to send in help.

every day their pain turning to rage the way the bodies are being treated. separatists pulling them off in trains with it poor refrigeration. the rebels are continuing to limit access to the wreckage and they're preventing a credible investigation from taking place and they're also taking key evidence from the crash site. let's head down to florida where several homes have been evacuated as a massive sinkhole continues to grow by the hour. this is happening in springhill, about an hour north of tampa. that hole was once 25 feet wide. it's now more than 100 feet wide and 30 feet deep. neighbors say that the scariest part is that it's completely silent outside and that hole just continues to expand. >> this is bad stuff. 'cause you don't know. because we're on the fault line, she could come this way. she could go that way. who knows? it's very scary. >> engineers have been called in to try to find a quick solution to this. they're considering filling the hole with sand or cement.

it's important to point out this is not a tsa decision. they are just complying with laws passed by congress adding the revenue is to be used to offset costs for providing civil aviation security services after stipulated amounts are applied to reduction of the federal deficit. congress estimates the new system will rake in over $36 billion over the next ten years, which is nearly $17 billion increase. some airline industry experts say travelers will be paying more, but not getting more when it comes to security. >> congress is actually raising the fees as part of a budget deal last year to offset cuts in

other parts of the government. they're going to use that increased revenue to fund things that have nothing to do with travel or security. >> reporter: and travelers we spoke to this week are not too happy about this. >> it's outrageous. things keep going up and up. not going to be able to fly soon. >> it's upsetting. i think we're paying enough taxes. >> reporter: bottom line, we're all going to be paying more whether we like it or not. if you really have a complaint, you're urged to write your congressman. brian, elisabeth, steve, back to you. >> or just take a bus. oh, yeah, that takes longer. thank you very much. >> thanks. >> i have never had more problems on more flights with more different airlines than i've had over the last two years. every flight, it's like a carnival. >> air travel is way up. so a lot of people -- the airlines are cutting back the number of flights. they're all full.

talk about boy's best friend. 16-year-old nick who is deaf was taking a nap at his home when a fire broke out, the flames eventually consumed his entire home. he may never have known to get out if it weren't for his puppy, ace, who rushed in, licked nick's face and woke him up. joining us now is nick and his mom, lindsey. thanks for being with us this morning. what a remarkable story. nick, i want to start with you. you were taking a nap. your mom was at work. and all of a sudden, ace comes over, just a young dog, two years old. you feel what?

>> his long, slippery tongue. >> then what? >> he woke me up and i thought he wanted to go out back. then i saw all the smoke in my house. >> you immediately knew what to do at that point? what did you do? >> i took a deep breath and held my t-shirt over my mouth and nose and ran out the back door and got out. >> lindsey, i'm hearing this and i think everyone who is watching, as a parent, thinking this could have turned out quite differently. this is your love, your son, taking a nap and ace steps in. is ace a service dog? >> no, not at all. he was just our family dog. he hasn't had any kind of training or anything. he's just our family pet.

>> he stepped in. how did you find out this all happened? >> when he ran out, he also -- when he grabbed his cochlear implant, he grabbed his cell phone and he texted me, told me he was out of the house. i didn't know he was out at the time. he said mom, the house is filled with smoke. and i said what? get out. then i called the fire department after that and then the neighbor called me and let me know that he was out. but that it was pretty bad. i rushed home. >> nick, how incredible, your puppy, ace, came in, licked your face, got you up, saved you from your home. what do you want everybody to know about ace? >> he's a wonderful and great dog. >> your best bud? >> yeah. >> mom, does it scare you to think of what the alternative could have been without ace?

>> oh, yeah, definitely. i was thinking about that. i try not to think about it now because it gets me upset. oh, yeah. if he wouldn't have been there, the fire department said that, he probably wouldn't have woke up. the carbon monoxide would have kept him asleep. >> scary thought. ace by far, ace, you have a friend for life there. mom, you have extraordinary son and that dog is an ace for sure. nick, good job. >> thanks. >> well done. more "fox & friends" just moments away. beta-glucan... a soluable fiber from whole grain oat foods like cheerios can help lower cholesterol. and where can you find beta-glucan? in oats.
