right now! >> that is correct. >> i'll stay plugged. >> thank you very much for joining us. >> my pleasure. >> ladies and gentlemen, round of applause, trace adkins! bill: here we go on a friday. what a day this will be. fox news alert. 9:00 a.m. on the hill where house lawmakers are still at. republicans ready to try again to tackle this bothered crisis. that is just one of many headlines today. welcome here. i'm bill hemmer live in "america's newsroom." welcome, heather. >> nice to be here. i'm heather childers in for martha maccallum. they tried yesterday to get a trimmed down bill with outcries from both parties. >> doing something is better than nothing. the crisis on the border will continue until the president act the. he is clearly not going to act. that means congress has to act. >> that is pretty damning,

inflammatory, pretty much of putting this on president of the united states that you can't get the votes to do something. not his fault. >> we're trying to give us flexibility. there is nothing cute or clever about this. >> emdemocrats will not enable to the bill to pass. they will do that on their own. bill: that from late yesterday. this morning, bank of microphones to get republican leadership, calling lawmakers back to work. now here we are, a closed-door meeting about to begin. what do we expect? bob cusack lead our coverage, editor-in-chief of "the hill." good morning there. >> good morning, bill. bill: what do we expect? >> today could be very interesting, bill. they could bring a bill to the floor. yesterday it was bit of a debacle. lawmakers at airport. pulled back. not expected to be in session. they could see a vote on the floor, if they have the votes and it doesn't get the vote this is political cover, bill. the senate couldn't pass a bill.

the house wants to pass a bill. we're not making law. this is about saving face. bill: some believe republicans have to pass something is that the case? why is that? >> a lot of republicans along the southern border believe they have bottom to pass something. remember president obama asked for 3.7 billion. this is far less, 659 million. they feel and they were angry basically congress was going to recess without doing anything. that is part of the reason, that revolt pulled back members. tough get votes. 211 votes. they didn't have votes yesterday. will be tough to get there today. bill: there was a rub. a lot of republicans didn't like the price tag. others don't want to increase number of illegals granted amnesty, correct? >> correct. they don't trust president obama giving him any money on immigration. that is the real rub, i think bill. democrats will not vote for this. john boehner has got to get enough republicans to push this

over the finish line. this new leadership team with eric cantor now no longer majority leader this is huge test for them. they failed yesterday. big test today. >> you say this is political cover and a blame game? how so? >> it is all about the blame game of the as john boehner said this issue will continue. this will be a huge issue in august. that's why house republicans want to go home, hey, we passed something. the senate won't act on it. the senate won't act on this even if it does pass. bill: thank you for your time. bob cusack on the hill, from "the hill." heather. >> separate version of the border bill also stalled in the senate after senate majority leader harry reid refused to allow any amendments including those proposed by senators from the states where this immigration crisis is playing out. >> what are we presented here in the united states senate? i say shame on you. i say shame on you. for not allowing those of us who represent the states that are

most affected by this, to have an amendment. >> one state senator mccain is talking about is texas. texas lieutenant governor david dewhurst will join us with more on the border crisis. he will talk about that and washington's response. bill: what does the president do during recess? is there executive action? we'll debate that in 30 minutes a lot to get to on that. breaking news on the economy. fox news alert. july jobs report is out. we had 209,000 jobs last month, less than expected. unemployment rate rising to 6.2%. the real unemployment number which includes factors like part-time workers with full-time jobs, people giving up looking, 12.2%. markets open in a few moments. yesterday, wow, what a whopper. rough ride on wall street. the dow finishing lower by more than 300 points. you had argentina threatening to default. you had a lot of people with

could do more harp than good, heather. >> what does samaritan's purse say? >> reporter: samaritan's purse is the organization both medical missionaryies for. everyone knows its director and creator, franklin graham said he is very concerned about the health of these two individuals. samaritan's purse is trying to get out of the country. 40 non-essential personnel he would like to get back to the united states. he assured the public they are taking all precautions. >> people are afraid. but these are american citizens and they want to come home. we're going to help them get home but we'll do it safely and do it following all the protocals in place. >> reporter: there have been cases of hemorraghic fevers in the united states before. marburg virus, this would mark the very first time, heather, ebowl last, particularly active case has ever been seen on u.s. soil. so as you can imagine it is garnering a awful lot of attention. >> john roberts live for us.

thank you, john. bill: watching this today, what do you think at home, at work, on your mobile device, how much does the ebola outbreak concern you? you can send us a tweet for an hour 52 minutes@heather childers, @billhemmer. talk to us about that story today. another fox news alert. told you it was a busy day. this from the middle east where another cease-fire collapsed. israeli military fierce one of its soldiers has been abducted. secretary of state john kerry announcing 72-hour pause yesterday while prime minister benjamin netanyahu said israel will continue to target hamas and tunnels under its border. [gunfire] as one can imagine, both side blaming the other for the breakdown of today. john huddy reports live yet again between the border between israel and gaza.

john, hello. >> reporter: bill and heather, good morning to you. right now we understand there is intense fight going on in southern gaza. that's where the israeli military believes one of its soldiers as you mentioned was abducted, cast captured by hamas militants. what we're hearing what we understand according to the israeli military this happened two hours into the cease-fire that started 8:00 this morning local time. now the soldiers were doing demolition work on one of hamas's cross-border tunnels when they were ambushed by hamas militants according to israeli military. all this happened near the southern most gaza city rafah, right along the egyptian border. two soldiers what we're hearing have been killed. another soldier according israeli commanders they believe was abducted. there is intense fight going on as i mentioned. we got to see some heavy artillery involved in that fight. take a look. these are 155-millimeter how

witser cannons and they open fire after the cease-fire ended according to military officials, hamas militants ambushed israeli soldiers in the southern part of the gaza strip when they came out of one of the tunnels. these started firing right after that targeting towards the city of rafah, trying to escape, prevent the militants from getting away. so, while there was a glimmer of hope and optimism last night when it was announced there would be a 72-hour cease-fire, this point that has been shattered and the fighting resumes. bill? bill: thank you, john huddy the latest from the israeli-gaza border. we'll get back to you later. talked to dan gillerman, former israel ambassador. he said israel located 35 tunnels to date. destroyed half of then. there is more work to do. >> dedicated to destroyinghem i.

massive explosion tears through buildings with at least 23 people killed with fear the death toll could go much higher. plus this. brian did ultimately come home that christmas. we buried him not far from the house he was raised in just prior to christmas day. bill: that is the cousin of murdered patrol agent brian terry testifying before congress during an investigation of the "fast & furious" gun-running scandal. new developments as another suspect charged in terry's death begins his extradition here to the united states. >> and president obama mocking a lawsuit filed by house speaker john boehner as conservatives accuse the president of abusing his power. >> the constitution could not be more clear. the president swears oath to faithfully execute the laws. he is not allowed to make the laws. he is not.. allowed to change te laws. ♪ nothing's missed with tenatwist ♪

heather: welcome back, another suspect in the murder of u.s. border patrol agent brian terry will face justice in the u.s. after being extradited from mexico. he being arraigned in tucson federal court today. one of six charged so far. he. terry was killed along the u.s. mexican border in 2010. his death expressed outrage when two weapons found at scene were linked to the government's botched gun-running operation known as "fast & furious."

>> now we have a humanitarian crisis on our border, a humanitarian crisis of incredible proportion, where thousands of young people, while they are being transported by these coyotes, young women are being raped, they're falling off trains, terrible things are happening. what are we presented here in the united states senate? i say same shame on you. shame on you for not allowing those of us who represent the states most affected by this, to have an amendment. bill: senator john mccain now from one of the critical states affected by the border crisis. texas also burdened by trying to secure its border and house thousands of illegals and lieutenant governor of texas is david dewhurst. my guest and welcome back here to "america's newsroom." >> thank you, bill. pleasure. bill: what do you think about what john mccain said there? >> he is right on. he is right on. what is harry reid thinking and

what is he doing? they're not listening to the states suffering the problem. we're the gateway in texas and if it can happen, it can happen everywhere in the country. texas is acting and congress need to move, bill. they need to pass a border security bill. bill: we'll see if that happens but you first have news on a stretch of the border between texas and mexico, near the rio grande. it is about 60-mile stretch. what has happened there? >> as a result of our surge with our state police, bill, over the last five weeks, we've been able to shut down and reduce illegal immigration in this very, very active sector, the rio grande valley by some 50%. we've got a lot of work to do. we have a lot more miles to cover. we have 1200 miles of 2,000 miles border between mexico and united states but we're determined, we're acting in texas. we, we're spending some 17, 18 milliondollars a month in, in

surging, 1000 members of our state police and we just activate adweek 1/2 ago as you know -- bill: to be clear, the border is 1200 miles between texas and mention co. >> that's right, bill. bill: the area you're talking about trafficked heavily covers 60 miles of that. >> that's right. bill: you believe 50% has been knocked down last two weeks? >> yes, sir. bill: here is what your governor said, rick perry. while texas has taken what steps it can to mitigate damage caused by a porous border, congress and president have foot to address border issues without further delay. congress should not go into recess until the job is completed. what does texas want? do you want border security first or can you understand the concern by many that the price tag is too big and they're worried about greater amnesty being granted for millions of illegals already here? what is your view on that, sir? >> well, bill, when i said to

you two weeks ago is the same thing. we need a bill passed by congress, today, today. for heavens sakes, texas is acting. we need congress to act and pass a bill that plugs loophole in the 2008 law. the cornyn-cuellar amendment will do that. then we need to stop the amnesty, stop the amnesty by president obama, in the 2012 executive order. and then the states need some reimbursable fund and we need some fund so we can have orderly process to deport people coming into the united states illegally. bill: one more point here. you know what is white house is saying. threat of executive action could come in august. what do you think? >> it very well could. every time this president acts, and with an executive order, it is contrary, i believe, to our constitutional rights and it is, and it is contrary to u.s. law.

bill: dan pfeiffer tweeted, this is why the president, quote, must act on his own to solve problems, end quote. we'll see whether or not that is the case come august. david dewhurst. >> it is. bill: thank you for your time. lieutenant governor there in texas much you heard a heated comment from arizona senator john mccain. he is on with neil cavuto at 4:00. do not miss that eastern time. heather: we will stay tuned for that. meantime we're tracking bertha. heard about her? tropical storm forming in the atlantic ocean. where it is headed. bill: a woman faces the death penalty because of her christian faith has arrived in the united states. now what is next for her? a brave wife and mother. >> what does the united states represent to her and her family. >> freedom. it's freedom. it is all about freedom. that is what she is getting right now. she is getting freedom. fchews. they work just as fast and are proven to taste better than tums smoothies assorted fruit. mmm. amazing. yeah, i get that a lot.

alka seltzer heartburn reliefchews. enjoy the relief.

bill: at least 23 dead after this gas explosion here. wow, roads collapsed over areas about two square miles. happened in taiwan. look at that. taiwan deploying 500 soldiers to help with rescue. gas leaks had been reported before the explosions. heather: hero's welcome for a sudanese woman who faced the death penalty because she is a christian. [cheers and applause] miriam ibrahim and her family are now in the u.s. with plans to make a new home in new hampshire. that is where her husband once lived. laura engle live for us in new york. this has been a long journey for the family. >> it has, heather. this marks the end of a 18 month

ordeal closely followed by many in the world. ibrahim arrived in new hampshire to a lot of love and cheers from her relatives and friend. she first flew to philadelphia with her american husband and two children thursday where mayor michael nutter welcomed her and called her a freedom fighter. her family in sudan turned her into authorities for abandoning islam. she was thrown into jail and while pregnant sentenced to death by hanging. ibrahim said always been a christian raised by her christian mother. and her father is muslim, according to sudan's version of muslim law she is a muslim and con not convert. she was freed in june although initially stopped from leaving the country and took refuge in u.s. embassy in sudan, heather. heather: what is the next step. >> the pastor of bethany covenant church in new hampshire the next step is to get the family settled. there are tons of support from

the community to help the family get its life little closer to normal. ibrahim's husband an friend were clearly over joined with her return last night. >> can you tell us how your wife feels being in the united states for the first time? >> i can't describe that feeling. can't describe it. >> we prayed she would stay safe. and have safe landing and safe trip. that is what we were praying for. that she get here safe. >> new hampshire has become somewhat of a safe haven for sudanese escaping civil war. there are 500 living in the state. heather: laura engle. thank you. bill: we're minutes away from the opening bell. after thursday's smackdown, what will happen today. and what impact will the jobs report have. stuart varney's take on that when he is on deck next. heather: another cease-fire crumbling. can anyone negotiate an end to the deadly violence? former congressman dennis kucinich shares his view as

israel maintains the battle on under ground front. >> this is strategic threat to our country. it like having a knife at your throat. we have to remove that knife. vo: this is the summer. the summer that summers from here on will be compared to. so get out there, and get the best price guaranteed. find it for less and we'll match it and give you $50 toward your next trip. expedia. find yours.

bill: fox news alert. 9:30. we are watching wall street open for trading now. that is live look at dow, reacting to the jobs report and some other items out there. the economy added 209,000 jobs in july. that was below what we expected but despite the gains unemployment rate ticked higher, 6.2%. real unemployment rate which includes part-time workers who want full-time work, 12.2%. still at historical lows. stuart varney, host of "varney & company" on the fox business network. we have a lot to go through first on the jobs. 209. 6.2, what is your read? >> disappointing. a lot of people were expecting maybe 300,000 new jobs.

unemployment rate that went down. we didn't get. that. 209 new jobs which is 90,000 new jobs fewer than the new jobs we created in the month of june. perhaps more importantly for the markets, hourly wages went up only one cent. that is it. bill: little contrary to what we were thinking yesterday at this time. >> we had a string ever good economic reports this week. nice growth for the economy. growth in wages all the rest of it. now the big report comes out and lets you down flat. it is disappointing. hourly wages up one cent. bill: 6.2%. sometimes that indicates -- >> more people looking for work. bill: because they have more confidence, do you agree with that? >> yes i do agree with that, however, what you still got participation rate that ticked up a tiny fraction but which remains at historic generational lows. state of the labor market is disappointing as of that report this morning. bill: now, this smackdown, as i call it from yesterday, i mean this thing was in free fall in

the afternoon. why the plummet of more than 300 points? >> let's go back to jed. -- yesterday. the strong economy means interest rates will probably go up. when interest rates go up, the stock market comes down. the market was down 300 points yesterday, because we had a lovely but run. when you get this little tremor on interest rates, down she comes pretty sharply. fast forward to today. you have a disappointing jobs report, disappointing economic news and likelihood that interest rates will stay about where they are for some time to come. result, you do not continue that much yesterday big selloff. 50 points. a couple of moves. that is not a lot. bill: how are earnings? >> solid. bill: are they pretty good? solid. amazon was kind of dispointing. visa was kind of disappointing. ups or fedex a little down. those are all measures of how the consumers are doing in america. >> no. those are measures how employers

are doing without hiring more people but still generating solid profits. that is what the market shows. bill: interesting point. let me push back. visa reflecting how many times you use the credit card or debit card. amazon reflects how many times you go online to buy something. those are direct reflections what the consumer doing, whether buying or not? >> yes, reflection what is expected in the future. that is why today's report was disappointing. if you look down the road, you're still not going to get much better, two, maybe 2 1/2% growth, the way we have been five years. no breakout. bill: summarize. you say the state of the u.s. economy today is? >> is groping along with a mediocre performance and still the worst recovery from any recession since world war ii. bill: wow, i could rewind the tape from three years ago. same status then. >> four years ago. five years ago. bill: stuart, see you 11:00 a.m.

you will have a big show. >> thanks, bill. bill: you to the it, buddy. heather: to the middle east now where a three-day cease-fire between israel and hamas broke down in hours. israeli tanks thundered away up to the cease-fire. soon after fire broke out in the town of rafah. that is near the egyptian border. both side had accepted the truce but prime minister benjamin netanyahu insisted they will continue to target militants tunnels. >> fear someone pops out of a hole in your backyard, armed to the teeth and kills you. that is threat very seriously. we have to neutralize that threat. netanyahu said we will continue

operations against tunnels with a cease-fire or without. we can not allow the threat to remain because it's a real threat. heather: dennis kucinich former congressman from ohio and fox news contributor. thanks for joining us. >> good to be with you, thank you. heather: the question everyone has now, how can this end? you recently wrote a peace said we can negotiate peace in gaza and here's how. as we begin i will pull up a quote from the piece you wrote. it was an open letter to congress and it says, quote, if the u.s. is prevented by law from negotiating with hamas or fails to intervene to secure palestinian rights or stands by as israeli government escalates the killing of thousands of palestinians, the conflict and its consequences may soon be beyond our ability to control. so it sound like you're putting it on our shoulders. >> well, certainly the united states with $3.2 billion worth of aid a year going to israel and with more recently helping

israel replenish its offensive capability has an important role to play here and i'm urging congress to revise a law that was passed in 2006 that would be used to prohibit the united states from negotiating directly with hamas, to change that law. let's start negotiations with people who israel is concerned about and let's end this war and come up with a path to peace. that is what i favor. heather: but negotiating with hamas, does that then put us in the position where we're negotiating with known terrorists, or a group, an organization that the united states has confirmed as a foreign terrorist organization? >> the end of every war inevitably involves negotiating with people you don't like or, you might prefer not to talk to. in this case, if hamas is the issue, then we have to negotiate with hamas which the u.s. is prohibited by doing it. you showed at the beginning of the show the issue of the tunnels. i want you to think about this a minute.

israel has the technology. they know where the tunnels are. if you know where a tunnel is you can demolish the tunnel without having to bomb and kill thousands of people. israel has the ability to do that. but they're choosing in the name of defense to go on offense and i don't think that constructive for israel and certainly not constructive for the united states hopes to try to secure israel and bring about peace. heather: they're not randomly bombing different sites, they're bombing different sites including schools where hamas militants have stored other weapons. >> bow, think about that. if you know you have children in a school, are you going to hit the school? there is moral dimension of this being ignored. a third of casualties approaching 1500 are children. now we have to think about that. what are we doing? who are we becoming? the bible tells us we have to make peace with our brothers. it tells us do unto others as you would have them do unto you. we have to take a fresh look of the united states has a moral

responsibility to get involved in this. to stop this pro spreading and stop more deaths of innocent people. >> i want to bring up another sound bite we received recently. this was on "hannity"'s show. he spoke with one of the sons of one of the hamas leaders. he himself says there is no negotiating with this terrorist organization. take a listen to what he says. >> if tomorrow israel comes to hamas and say, we give you the 1967 borders, hamas is not going to agree for that basically because they don't have political boundaries to their ideology. they want to destroy the state of israel. they want to destroy any country that does not believe in their ideology. heather: okay. so you mentioned the 2006 issue that was passed and one of the issues in that, that said that we should not negotiate with hamas. it said one of the reasons, it needed to recognize israel's right to exist. that seems to not have changed.

>> actually, it is important that israel's right to exist be recognized and unity government established on the 2nd of june did just that. certainly israel has a right to exist. now we have to look at this though. are we afraid, we're the united states of america. we can't be afraid of hamas. we have to have the ability to tell hamas, sit down, let's solve issues. issues by the way are much more than tunnels. the issues have to do with the occupation, boycott, settlement building, destruction of medical facilities and place of worship. these are issues as well. let's use this opportunity, as a chance to begin anew, have a broader plan for peace, to bring all parties together and to put america in a place where it always ought to be, healers, peacemakers, ones who can help put the world in a new direction. that is what we're capable of doing. that is certainly what we need to be doing in an area where so many tax dollars are being poured in and violence is taking place unfortunately in our name.

heather: hamas, hamas if they were attacking the united states in this capacity, you would want to sit down and speak with them. >> i would speak with anyone to bring about peace. we have to recognize this. the united states is not consistent in its foreign policy what we do is, in one place, everyone knows this, we helped people connected with al qaeda actually take over various governments. everybody knows it is not disputable. so why can't we talk to hamas? come on, we're the united states of america. let's act with strength we know we have and ability to bring parties together and help end suffering of the palestinian people and help end the terror that the people in israel are feeling so strongly right now. heather: thank you. dennis kucinich, joining us. we appreciate it. >> thank you. bill: as reminder we look at history, last time a land incution happened on the ground in gaza was 2009. it lasted 21 days. right now the land invasion of gaza day 14 or day 15. use that as a guy. heather: multiple cease-fires

have been attempted, broken by both side. bill: again and again. the showdown between the white house and republicans overboarder crisis continues. >> i believe that the president legalizes millions of americans here illegally, in contravention of the law and the constitution and of his own declarations that is in principle an impeachable offense. bill: will the president deal with the immigration crisis on his own, if so what will that mean? will republicans get a deal today. we're watching microphones on capitol hill. fair and balanced debate on that, moments away. heather: incredible video. have you seen this? a man leaping off of a rooftop. the story behind this amazing job. how -- jump. how it all ended. ♪ [ male announcer ] if you suffer from a dry mouth

bill clinton pollster, ceo of whitman inside strategies. mary cat lynn ham, editor-at-large, hotair.com. how are you buys doing? a lot of hot air in your town, mk, let me tell you. listen, two things we, there are two things we need to get to in three minutes, all right? one is executive action. what you think the house may or may not do today. first the executive action and president making fun of that just yesterday. watch. >> you could say, all right, this is harmless political stunt, except it waste's america's time. you guys are all paying for it as taxpayers. it is not very productive. but it is not going to stop me from doing what i think needs to be done in order to help families all across this country. [applause] bill: that from yesterday, mk. what does he do? does he take action or not during recess? >> well first, thank you, professor obama for that extremely erudite justification

for use of executive power. he wants to overlook the merits of these kind of things because often he loses on the merits. so he wants to make it political. let me put this in the word of other folks because this isn't about just my partisan concerns with executive overreach if it happens to be obama. if it were, that would be easier if it wasn't dire issue. jeffrey tubin legal expert says this is not how t works. you don't get to do things because there is gridlock. jonathan turley testified during the congress during discussion of this lawsuit, you guys will self-destruct if you don't put this kind of thing. mark pryor, kay hagan, democrats saying on immigration thing he doesn't have the power to do this. those are actual concerns. republicans are trying to find a third way, smart politically aside from impeachment would be a problem for them to deal a blow to obama. bill: which is the lawsuit. they won on the lawsuit a month ago, 9-0 supreme court. on recess appointments.

>> on recess appointments he refused several times. bill: bernard, what will the president do if anything on executive action comes to immigration? >> i hope he continues to push congress to do something. here is what makes no sense. you have a president trying to get the work of country done. and instead the congress is wasting everybody's time and money with this lawsuit. the thing about the lawsuit that really drives me insane is that the republicans voted 40 or 50 times to repeal obama care. then when the president actually tried to give employers a little bit more time to institute the mandate, the republicans said, hold on, we'll sue. do they want to implement it faster? >> because he process matters, bernard. >> congress actually took its constitutional authority seriously, then the president wouldn't have to fall back to some of executive actions. harry truman campaigned in 1947, they passed 395 laws. this congress has passed2 laws. bill: you want more laws? people may argue you don't want more laws. you know what the house has

done? they passed bill after bill and none of it comes up in the senate. you know that is a fact. that will continue up to the midterm election. now to what the house does, mk? do they make a move today, and what for, what does it look like? >> i think they're working on it. as you saw yesterday that various forces come to blows and that didn't, nothing came of it yesterday. i think there's a possibility that something comes of it today. they wouldn't have stayed over if there wasn't a possibility. frankly very up in the air. it will be touch-and-go all day long. to bernard's point, the process matters. congress, republican house voted to affirm things that obama has put off when it comes to employee mandate and other parts of obamacare he unilaterally dismissed and he threatened to veto laws. when you go through the proper process he doesn't like it. he likes to do things on his own. that is what the lawsuit is trying to deal with. bill: bernard, final word. what does the house do. >> i hope they come to senses to pass minimum bill to begin to

start to solve this border crisis. we need at least funding to deal with the deportations and increase the pace of these proceedings. but i will say this i do fault the president, i think he could do a lot more to reach across the aisle, to create a climate that is better for bipartisanship. i'm looking forward to 2016 of the perhaps it will take a woman's touch to bring congress and president together. bill: plenty of time to debate. >> we'll be back on that. bill: thanks bernard, mk. >> thank you. heather: new calls for the head of the cia to step down after admitting the agency spied on members of congress. he has apologized but some say that isn't enough. bill: what a story that is. becoming bigger. dramatic new video. what a bystander did with plane in flames that may have saved a life. >> i didn't think that there was a lot of hope for her. she was unresponsive. not moving not breathing. it was pretty bad.

bill: this is among many other stories, getting a lot of attention today and for the right reason of the house is trying to get this bill together on what is happening on the border and at some point at the microphone we'll hear from leadership. i don't know if it is before the meeting or after the meeting. they will convene in matter of moments on "the hill." what we're hearing from our producer chad pergram, quoting a couple of his us sources on hill, talking about a lot of no votes, going to a lot of yes votes. now some of this is what was said late yesterday afternoon too, and they weren't able to get it done. we're on stand by. we'll let you know something when we know something live from the hill. heather: we're still talking about it, there are growing concerns that some illegal immigrants detained along our southern border may be bringing

serious health problems in our country. one facility in new mexico on quarantine after outbreak of chicken pox. dozens of positive tests for tuberculosis. william la jeunesse live for us in los angeles. william, how did this happen? >> reporter: well, heather it is not supposed to. one official that works there, told us agents, are quote disguffed what they're not being told how it is being handled. how the detention center in new mexico, holds 600 i will lehman immigrant families. it is lockdown indefinitely. no one in or out. 89 immigrants tested positive for t-b. u.s. inspector general said this is not isolated case. numerous dhs employees nationwide are exposed to communicable diseases including tb. they report contracting scabies, lies lice and chicken pox. two officers chair children got

heather is with us today. heather: it is a busy day. republicans arriving this morning after yesterday's plan to vote suddenly collapsed, but even if they pass things, the senate has done nothing before their break. enough, already. >> we need a bill passed by congress today, texas is acting, new congress to act today and pass a bill that plugs a loophole in the 2008 law. heather: mikey manual. what kind of changes are they considering to push this bill across the finish line? >> they made some fine-tuning adjustments to get the 218 votes including more security. more than it was yesterday, also

tight snail 2008 law that trade central american children differently than those from mexico to allow faster deportation. send national guard security to iand hence the security. taking the language in the marsha blackburn proposal to stop the president from putting more deportation on hold effective immediately so fine-tuning of yesterday's bill and they are counting heads to see if they can get to 15. heather: what have we heard from the key players? >> key sources have told us today is the day. they said a lot of them were turning to yes, basically seemed to think they would get there. mccarthy says they will get this done, the point is to get this done but house democratic

leader says don't look for her side to offer any votes for they have to see if they have close to 218 on the republican side to get this past the finish line. heather: we will see if that happens. bill: analysis now. good morning to you. you say the house has to do something today, explain. >> they have to do something because if they don't we already know we saw from dan pfeiffer who is the top communications guy at the white house saying that yesterday with the hose took down the bill, that is why the president has to act unilaterally with his hand in his phone. they call it exhibit a on why they have to do something. if they don't act, if they leave town and do nothing, the pressure on the house and the

blame on the house from the president using effective authority for temporary amnesty. bill: by pooling their own bill, house g.o.p. proves why the president must act on his own to solve the problems. here is another corner, explaining their possible position. watch. >> we have been timid about the president's position even in the face of those congressional instruction to make progress. we are going to out what exactly the law will allow the president to do, and we will do as much as possible within the confines of the law to address a problem whose solution th republican the congress need to act. bill: he is being careful on the legal side of this for good

reason. what is your sense of the stomach the white house has, the president has to take executive action regardless of the house? >> the president has been fixated on a really intense loathing against the house of representatives. i think the theory you see from this administration gets the house republicans is driving the president into some dangerous base. obviously would like to get more impeachment talks one from republicans but he better be careful, the president has sunk to a new low in polling. he is in dire straits with the electorate and he best be careful because if he goes too hard and too far he could turn away the election for republicans to a tsunami against democrats and trust me,

moderates are very worried about the president getting carried away. bill: republicans were concerned with the dollar amount, that seems to have come down considerably and doesn't seem to be a high priority now because the price take seems acceptable basin information we are getti getting. border patrol and how many millions of illegals do you potentially grant amnesty to in the united states today. >> it is not like harry reid will let anything pass. but this will be a statement of principles, i am told, from the house republicans, just the thing you described. money is a second-tier consideration. most important is what does the law say about minors who arrived in the united states, how long is the judicial proceeding? this short is that.

and what is the president allowed to do when it comes to what they call delayed action on deportation. this bill will reflect the language we are told that says no go, mr. president. bill: as soon as there is word from inside, we will take you there live. there will be news, we just don't know when. heather: eric cantor leaving his post in mid august 1 day after stepping down as house majority leader. republican will not finish out his term resigning his seat effective august 18. a stunning upset you may remember in the primary by the challenger telling his colleague it has been a privilege. >> i look around this remarkable chamber and i see so many friends and colleagues who have inspired me and inspired of this

congress to do so many great things for the american people. walking into this building and walking on this floor is something that excited me every day since i was first elected to congress, as it should. not one of us should take for granted the awesome honor and responsibility we have had to serve our fellow americans. heather: kevin mccarthy took the reins yesterday as house majority leader. bill: a u.s. senator resigned immediately after a classified report found cia was spying on members of the u.s. senate. good morning. what are we learning about the allegations on this? >> based on multiple statements released by members of the

senate intelligence committee last night, nobody is pleased with the actions of the cia and john brennan. now joined by ron white, a democrat, asking for a public apology after handful of agency personnel including cia lawyers snooped on senate staff for the bush era program. they are makes after the public assurances earlier this year. >> as far as allegations hacking into computers, nothing could be further from the truth. that is just beyond the scope of reason. >> at the heart of the story is the senate report and the enhanced interrogation program used after 9/11 including waterboarding of the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks.

we spent reports at any time. bill: what are the complaints specifically from the courier cia officers? >> where he served 11 cia directors, he was not interviewed her was allowed to see the findings in advance so he could defend himself. he told the ap i'm outraged. they are accusing people of misleading congress, missing the justice department and the never even asked to talk to us, now it cannot read the report before does public. fox news will speak with john rizal about the decision and former senior cia officials preparing what amounts to a counter offensive to rebut the findings of the report. bill: thank you. imagine what they thought.

>> the first american, what did i have on there? another cease-fire, what will it take to get both sides to reach a truce that actually holds? and then there is this. >> he is a very smart guy. i never got it once. bill: bill clinton and a bombshell admission. why he decided not to take out usama bin laden. heather: a good samaritan risking everything. >> little fire extinguishers putting pressure on things. ♪ [

it had absolutely followed thing they won't negotiate with anybody, there is no negotiations. the fault really lies there, not here. he said you don't get two sides, the first negotiator of cease-fire peace agreement kid both sides have to want to do this. both sides have to. israel needs to destroy the tunnels, that is a military threat they have not anticipat anticipated, hamas does not want to negotiate because hamas wins by losing. it won't win voluntarily but hope the court of public opinion will turn against israel driving a wedge between them. heather: in terms of a court of public opinion, was winning at this point? >> the split screen of

politician and palestinians casualties. it breaks everybody's heart to see this but nobody is able to ask the hamas people why are you putting them in schools? united nations said they put them in schools, the rockets stockpiled there. they are using their own children as human shields knowing it will backup the castle to rate in the world will look at israel and say how do you do that, and hamas giving us a choice. heather: how do you negotiate with a group that would do that to their own people. the last cease-fire hamas broke was brokered by egypt. who is the best person or the best country to get involved in this to work out some sort of deal?

>> they are trying to negotiate on behalf of hamas. the united states is supposed to be an honest broker in the middle of all this. they are trying to negotiate between both sides and historically egypt has been one of the bargainers with the bargaining chips. what is interesting is in preview rounds is the sunni arab state. they have not been as vehemently anti-american because they're worried about radical islam. they see what is happening in iraq and syria, they are worri worried. heather: the bottom line when it comes to ending the war, you have to talk about funding and where the weapons are coming from involved in all of this, how they are involved.

i am told by one source it kind of depends on who is immediate and who is the strongest and those two might work against each other, but the decision has yet been made who is coming ba back. they have said it will be receiving a patient, the question is if they can take both at that time. that is the latest word we're getting on the transportation of these two americans infected with the virus. the first american ever treated in the state infected with the disease. bill: seven said you wanted to take them quarantined rather than taking them into another country. what is the answer for that from those experts working on these cases?

>> they say it is really a cost-benefit analysis in the ways of bringing them back toward the states, the device, the pod, isolation container inside that plane has been designed and worked on with the department that they feel confident about that, confident it can be transported on the plane and the benefit of these two being treated at a state-of-the-art hospital medical center outweighs any risk where they will be treated but maybe not at the highest standards, bill. heather: how do you get them into the hospital? bill: something they're going to have to work out. when they arrived in atlanta, georgia, they will go to a top-notch facility.

discover human remains, 80 bodies could still be out at that crash site. heather: how long do they expect to be out at the field? >> just overnight 10 were killed in an ambush 20 miles away, so so a lot of heavy fighting and they are risking a lot. there can be 700 international investigators with armed security. heather: live from ukraine. thank you be at bill: at bill clinton hours before the attacks of 9/11 took place. he said he passed on the chance to take out usama bin laden. >> i spent a lot of time trying

to find him and i nearly got him once. i nearly got him, and i could have killed him but i would have had to destroy a little town in afghanistan and killing 200 innocent people, and i would have been no better than him, so i didn't do it. bill: he went on to say something similar to "i would have been just as guilty as him" for doing that. august of 1998 was a terribly bloody month. august 1 of that month our embassy was blown up, on the same day at the same time, and about 20 days later bill clinton launched several tomahawk missiles into sudan and afghanistan. four different places in

afghanistan. now, what did you think of what you heard on the tape from the former president? >> it is interesting it took so long for the tapes to come out, but the 9/11 commissioners report pointed out we had chances to get bin laden. he did take some sort of action, but the reality is the intelligence capabilities and particularly the targeting capabilities were much different kid the ability today to very precisely identify a target and picked out in a matter of minutes put a drone missile on top of it and kill it. i would tend to give the president some slack for not wanting to kill americans. some of those cruise missile strikes made but the reality is with or without bin laden 9/11

probably would have happened. he was part of a bigger structure determined to strike the united states. bill: he is the leader, he is inspiration base basin intellige we have now, he was meeting with the hijackers from time to time in afghanistan. what bill clinton said was out have to destroy a little town, but he moved around that country, near the airport there was tarmac farms and that is where they trained. i don't think it is as simple as saying you have to kill people in kandahar to get him out. you could take a shot at him and other parts of that country.

>> yes, you could have, bill, but those would have been cruise missile shots to decide you're going to do it. these dat days he has a missilen top of the drone and you see the target and you shoot at it. clinton has had chances to have him perhaps turned over to the united states by the sudanese government. i think most people study did believe that was true. we had a navy marine corps task force in the water stopping this freighter he was known to be on and clinton stop that one also. i would not say i let him get away scott free. bill: is it fair to be this critical? >> no, i don't think so. i think the news today certainly

is he has heard stepping up talking about this, but warfare is warfare if you want to hit somebody with an assassin's bullet, that is one thing. if you want to take out an awful lot of civilian casualties, that is another thing. al qaeda clearly involved in the bombings, he had not struck the united states yet, so the united states did not have a sense of urgency from the top leadership to get this guy and kill him. bill: thank you. in north carolina. heather: listen to this, two young children in phoenix somehow surviving after getting caught in the crossfire of an armed robbery. finding himself next to the suspect as he pulled a gun from the clerk. they had to duck and cover, thankfully nobody was hurt. asking for the public's help in identifying batma that man in te video.

the founder of citizens for self stubbornness. a former consultant to the obama campaign and a principal, thank you for joining us. i will let you start with this. what do you think about that bill? >> what we are looking at a humanitarian crisis. criminals, children and women who come to find their families here in the u.s. we have been keeping a lot of these women and children in warehouses across the country and the warehouse are talking about is a form of prison for men converted to accommodate women and children there. it is actually about on par for what they cost to do, $129 per day. while it is tragic, it is the cost and right now we are dealing with humanitarian crisis and we don't have a lot of other

options. heather: it is a sad situation but perhaps one could argue taxpayers, legal citizens should not have to pay for this. >> i think that is a good argument. spending money is a solution to the problem. you have to question if this is a wise way to spend your money. it is not necessarily humanitarian to provide flatscreen tvs, weight rooms, these are things most of our own kids in this country don't have access to bid go to the inner cities and ask those kids that they would like to have flatscreen tvs, air-conditioned rooms, living in suites. of course they would like it. they are spending money we don't have on people who broke the law to get into our country, that is what we are doing.

heather: they go to school hungry, they go to bed hungry every single night. this school will provide free all-you-can-eat meals per day. and the unemployment rate people in america looking for jobs going to be given jobs as well. granted $3 per day for four hours of work. jobs, food, health care, many of our own citizens are not getting the basic needs provided. >> you have to look at what are the values we have as american. i don't understand what an option would be to put all these people out on the street, we have to keep them in custody so we can find a way to deal with them deported back to the country or with their families in the u.s. i will not argue there are people who struggle in the u.s. but we are dealing with contained situation. there are tvs and the things you talk about, but any prison

in the united states, they also have those. those facilities have swimming pools, foosball table, that is for criminals in the u.s. while you may think they broke the law, talking small children. i have a hard time trying to call a child trying to find their parent a criminal. bill: that is a democratic talking point. 84% of these people you call children are between 18-15. they're covered in tattoos. we are not talking prisoners, don't think the prisoners should have flatscreen's either, but this is something the taxpayers are paying for and by doing this you are inviting and increasing the problem. if you can come and live in a place with all the food you can eat, flatscreen tvs, soccer field, health care. it is a rational decision to come to america.

>> there waiting to go to court, they are not here to live in the resort the rest of their life. heather: how do we know that? >> if you read the press on this they have set up a system right now moving a lot of these children to the front of the line processing them having hearings on it. heather: the last statistics i read that come here and only 1200 so far has been sent home, that is less statistic i read. bill: 1 in 10 people not showing up for deportation hearings the vast majority are disappearing into american society and will pose a long-term fiscal cost on our country. >> this is less a political issue and speaks for larger broken immigration system which we have to find bipartisan support for. heather: they are bringing in respiratory illnesses, chickenpox, more with them.
