9:00 am
buzz, and we'll respond to your questions. and you can e-mail us. we're back here next sunday, 11:00 and 5:00 eastern for the latest buzz. new signs of hope for an american doctor battling the ebola doctor. this after kent brantley arrived in the united states from west africa yesterday and walked himself into an atlanta hospital for treatment. good afternoon. >> the centers for disease control director, dr. thomas freedman was sitting down with chris wallace earlier this morning and he tweeted dr.
9:01 am
brantley's condition and tried to reassure the american people there's no danger of the disease spread in this country. >> it's encouraging that he's doing so well. ebola is scary, it's a deadly disease, and it's understandable to be scared of it. but the bottom line with ebola, we know how to stop it. >> and jonathan is outside emery university hospital. and jonathan it was remarkable seeing the doctor actually walk yesterday from that ambulance in that decontamination suit. >> in fact dr. brantley was able to speak with his wife who said she was heartened to see her husband being able to walk to the hospital. she issued a statement saying her husband is glad to be back in the u.s. dr. kent brantley being treated here at emery university hospital in a special isolation unit. this is one of only four such units in the country capable of
9:02 am
treating this type of patient with a very serious infectious disease. although there is no fda treatment for ebola, doctors hope to keep his body strong as possible, long enough for his natural defenses to ward off the virus. >> i think it's unique that this is the first patient with ebola in the united states, but that's the key point. i can't think of a better place in the world other than emery university hospital to care for this patient. >> dr. brantly flew aboard a containment tent aboard this aircraft. this plane is expected to bring a second patient with ebola -- contracted the deadly virus while working with two christian organizations. although there is no fda approved treatment for ebola and the disease historically can claim the lives of up to 9 0% of
9:03 am
those infected, doctors here are hoping that the more sophisticated medical technology and expertise that we have in the u.s. will give these two american patients a much better chance of survival. eric, back to you. >> jonathan and all of us, all americans are pulling for dr. brantley and nancy wrightball when she arrives. >> we want to hear in you at home, what if anything worries you about the american ebola patients being treated here in the u.s. we're going to bring some of your questions up to the doctors during sunday house call at the bottom of the hour, to stay tuned for that. new developments in the conflict in gaza to tell you about. a health official there saying an air strike near a united nations school has killed at least ten people, u.n. secretary
9:04 am
ban ki-moon calls it a, quote, moral outrage and criminal act. the israeli military not comm t commenting on the strike, but it is confirming some of its troops are starting to reconvene at the border. meanwhile funeral services are being held in israel today for second lieutenant hadar goldin, he was thought captured but now it's been confirmed that he was killed. >> reporter: that second lieutenant, hadar goldin in rafa. throughout the day, according to palestinian ministry of health officials, more than 120 people at this point, and that number is fluid, that could be changing
9:05 am
as i'm speaking here. but 120 people were killed throughout gaza from israeli air strikes and artillery fire as well. now, having said that, and maybe hard to understand and comprehend, but as you mentioned, while some troops remain in gaza along the border, we're also seeing the operation, as said last night, scaled back. we saw an example of that earlier today. take a look. >> reporter: the dust is kicking up as now the armored personnel carriers are being moved out going back to wherever they're based, wherever they're stationed is now after 27 days, operation protective edge is slowly winding down. while some fighting continues, israel's military has begun redeploying troops along the gaza border. saying it would reassess his -- hamas's cross border tunnels, something military officials say
9:06 am
is winding down. the trips here, just loaded up this apc on the back bed of this truck here, it's one of several dozen that are going to be rolling out of here. so as ground forces in some parts of gaza are being pulled out. prime minister netanyahu saying that hamas will pay an intolerable price if it continues to fire rockets at israel and that all options remain on the table. and so far today, the israeli army says 71 rockets have been fired at israel including two over tel aviv that were intercepted. having said that, right now in cairo egypt, there are cease fire negotiations going on and a delegation of palestinian representatives, hamas representatives and islamic jihad representatives are talking about an egyptian brokered cease fire, that's important julie, that's significant, because it could determine the course of what happens next in this operation.
9:07 am
julie? >> john huddie at the border. thank you very much. >> translator: this may surprise many but not us, this is a very important asset for the state of israel with the secession of the fighting and the conclusion of the campaign, this will open new possibilities for us. >> that was israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu predicting what could come next, a new alignment in the middle east against hamas, iran and the islamist terrorists. can this conflict with hamas bring a new era to this troubled middle east. joining us now as he always does on sunday, ambassador john bolton, a fox news contributor and senior fellow at the american enterprise institution. the prime minister talked got a unique link with neighboring
9:08 am
states that will open up new pock possibilities for israel. what does he mean? >> i think it's possible that there will be a realignment but what we're really seeing is existing tensions coming to the surface. hamas and iran have strengthened their ties again very considerably when the fighting against the assad regime in syria broke out three years ago, hamas, the headquarters located damascus refused to support assad backed by iran, because hamas is primarily a sunni organization. they were expelled from damascus, and there was tension at least on the surface between hamas and iran. i think that was more apparent and real, but in any event, in the past few months, iran has
9:09 am
substantially resupplied hamas, and states like the -- see the iranian terrorist threat or the iranian nuclear threat as the main threat they face. so when they see israel going after hamas, they are delighted. >> ayatollah indicated that all muslims have a duty to arm themselves against israel and called for the destruction of israel. there's saudi arabia, there's jordan, the uae and these other states that are the neighboring states of israel that are basically against iran. at the same time on the other side, you have iran, hamas, you have qatar and at some levels turkey. what does this split do? what do you predict will happen? and will iran win or lose? >> i think this is a very fluid situation and i think there are
9:10 am
competing and sometimes contradict try interests that are at stake here to it's not a playing kind of black on white alliance structure by any stretch of the imagination. turkey has a different set of interests than the arab states or -- i think the issue remains iran's nuclear weapons program, even watch what's happened in gaza for the past three weeks. the rocket assault on israel, the israeli retaliation, looking at this with very clear eyes, all of this pales with near total instance compared with the detonation. israel and the saudis are still trying to deal with how to prevent iran from getting to deliverable nuclear weapons which they have been seeking for 30 years. to the extent that the interests
9:11 am
are now more clearly aligned i think that's all to the good because i think frankly in this whole region, the single biggest threat to the united states is iran's nuclear program. >> those talks have been delayed a few months, what do you think will happen? >> they've been delayed by the united states among others until after our november elections, so i have to say i'm very worried that the obama administration is still obsessed with the idea of a deal with iran, they have already made huge concessions, i'm very worried that at the end of the november they're going to announce a deal as a great success but it will not be a success for the united states. >> ambassador john bolton. turning now to the immigration crisis here at home, while the house friday night finally passed a $694 million
9:12 am
bill to try to tackle the immigration crisis, it has virtually no chance of becoming law any time soon. that's because the senate has already left for summer recess. leaving our border patrol agents to deal with the massive flow of immigrants on our southern border, wondering what will happen next. >> after a shocking turn ofts o bafd a bill -- the legislation which allocates far less than the president proposed outlines requirements for an expedited deportation process. the president's authority to deport certain illegal immigrants depending on their country of origin, that's the source of tens of thousands of unaccompanied minors flooding the border. the only way to combat the problem is to get to the underlying and deep causes of the issue. >> the only way to address that is to address the root causes of
9:13 am
what's happening, and the root causes are a combination of course of violence and instability and poverty in central america. but it's also according to the president of honduras, ambiguities in our laws and those ambiguities began in 2008 with a very well intentioned law to prevent human trafficking. >> the senate didn't take it on before leaving for vacation and the president vowed to veto it saying friday he's poised to announce an executive order to allow millions of -- some law makers say he really has no choice but to do so. >> it's no blank check, but that's not what the president has done. this law is clearly baseless in law or in fact. under the law -- as interpreted consistently by prkt justices including chief justice rehnquist, the president has the discretion to impment and own
9:14 am
force the law. >> now that lawmakers are out on break, it's really unlikely they'll address the issue before the november elections. and julie, it is another day without water for one major u.s. city. but health officials there are now saying about this surprising crisis. a body at rest tends to stay at rest...
9:15 am
while a body in motion tends to stay in motion. staying active can ease arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, this can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain, and improve daily physical function so moving is easier. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain. and it's not a narcotic you and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. this chance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors such as high blood pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. nsaids, like celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions, or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. don't take celebrex if you have bleeding in the stomach or intestine,
9:16 am
or had an asthma attack, hives, other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. tell your doctor your medical history. and ask your doctor about celebrex. for a body in motion. been all fun and games, here at the harrison household. but one dark, stormy evening... she needed a good meal and a good family. so we gave her purina cat chow complete. it's great because it has the four cornerstones of nutrition.

9:18 am
and across the great lakes in fact. and the runoff from the farms has caused the algae to bloom in the lakes. and that has gotten worse each year as we have gone along. >> folks in toledo are being urged not to drink, brush their teeth or wash their dishes with the water, and boiling it doesn't even work. turning now to the missing mom in oregon, police are now saying 38-year-old jennifer houston may be in the san juan islands off the coast of washington state. the couple visiting the island say they are convinced they actually saw houston on board a ferry headed that way. detectives are now expanding their search to those islands saying they are known to be one of her favorite spots and that her suv would be able to travel up to 350 miles on a full tank
9:19 am
of gas. the oregon wife and mother was last seen july 24th. well the senate has now not done very much with the immigration crisis, they have kicked down the road in a major way. without taking up the house bill. what that means for the border states and law enforcement on their front lines of this growing problem, we will have that straight ahead. onward! if your denture moves, it can irritate your gums. try fixodent plus gum care. it helps stop denture movement and prevents gum irritation. fixodent. and forget it. and prevents gum irritation. you fifteen percent or more on huh, fiftcar insurance.uld save

9:23 am
have put on hold any -- wondering if president obama will use his pen and his phone yet again to deal with the growing problem on his own. betsy woodruff joins me now. you were outside the speaker's gallery when they pulled the bill thursday and covered the debates all day on friday. watching the attitudes of certain members change after the meeting, basically making complete 180s. >> sure thing, it was really fascinating, michelle bachmann in particular stood out. i spoke with her and a group of reporters. she was very bearish about it, she said we think this is bad legislation. this is bad news. the next morning, friday morning at 9:00, the house republicans convened for a meeting down in the bowels of the basement of the capitol.
9:24 am
right after that meeting, bachmann's attitude hat 180-degree change, she spoke with a group of reporters and said she was very pleased. lots of criticism has been directed at house leadership for their treatment of this immigration issue. but it seems like they made friends in the conservative and tea party caucuses just by working so hard overnight. >> but the senate is on vacation, so whether they're on board or not, nothing's going to happen unless the president uses his power and ignores congress's exception of whatever decision he wants to make. how bad does this look for republicans in the house? if they don't offer their decision on how the house would fix his problem. >> senators would have been able to say, look, these guys can't get anything done, the house is held hostage by the conservative tea party wing. however the fact that the house was able to pick something, is
9:25 am
certainly helpful for them just from the perspective of pr. the senate went on vacation even before the house passed their bill. >> what does the president do now? does he act with or without congress's approval or does he wait? >> the tricky thing about that is that the president has suggested he might make some month, but the only move that some -- expanding a program that makes it so that people who enter the country illegally as children can get work permits and stay longer. that doesn't specifically address the border crisis. that doesn't address funding for immigration courts or housing, so the president doesn't -- which is really bad nicive you're the governor of a border state and you're dealing with the this influx of kids from south america. >> here's an idea i want to pose to you, you tell me what you think. one i just sort of came up what. some might think i'm crazy for
9:26 am
suggesting what to do with all that money. a lot of people are saying we need to get those children out right away, i would say many would agree with that, first of all children should not be separated from their parents, whether we enforce our border control or not. these children are leaving for a reason, the abuses on women and children why and if the united states -- particularly looking at the central american countries that many of these kids will come from. democrats have proposed sending more aid money to these countries to develop more youth centers so they're less likely to join gangs and more likely to stay in their home countries, that's certainly an interesting solution, you're death not crazy for suggesting that, it's something that's very much been floated. but it seems like house republicans are going to propose
