forgetting to fill in the blanks in the templates. >> thank you for joining us. we hope you have a great day. >> "fox & friends" starts right now. >> bye. >> hello. good morning. today is tuesday, august, 5, 2014. i'm in for elisabeth hasselbeck. a fox news alert. another american infected with ebola arrives in the united states, this as doctors test a man in new york city for the deadly virus. >> great. the white house has a whole new excuse for why they waited until now to do anything about the immigration crisis. >> the house, the senate and the white house, 2009-2010. why didn't you focus on solving the immigration crisis then. >> there were a lot of other crises the president was focused on at that point. >> that's right. remember this crisis? apparently the obamacare

crisis was more important. but they're going to change that. >> call it high and dry. it's one of the worst droughts on record but it is not stopping marijuana growers from drenching their crops. the unintended consequences of going to pot. because mornings are better with friends. >> hi. this is henry winkler. you're watching "fox & friends." >> thank you fonzi. good morning to you, anna. look who's here today. >> good morning. nice to see you. >> thank you. nice to see all of you. >> we start this hour with a fox news alert. fears of an ebola outbreak inside the united states intensify as a new york city man is tested for possible exposure to ebola. this is as the second american infected with the deadly virus is set to land later today in atlanta, georgia. heather childers joins us with the very latest.

roibt good -- >> reporter: doctors say the man came to an emergency room and was placed in strict isolation within seven minutes. doctors saying it is unlikely he has ebola but they are taking no chance. he was placed in strict isolation after he returned from a west african country within the last month and showed symptoms like a fever. test results due back within 24 hours. a second person with ebola is on her way back to atlanta. nurse nancy writebol will land in georgia and be transferred to emory university hospital. writebol along with dr. kent brantly are receiving experimental drugs never before used on humans. her son says he hopes his mother's suffering will be to help others. >> my mom might not be only

to help those who she was trying to help there in country, but by her suffering in this and by her going through it, she may be able to help countless more through them being able to understand what's going on in her body and develop a cure. >> doctors at emory saying brantly who has been there for two days is improving. that is good news possibly. three other americans have been tested but all the results have come back negative. back to you. >> it's the big story on the cover of the tabloids here in new york city. ebola scare in the city and an ebola man tested for disease in new york. the headline is "disease unlikely." >> that' the headline. >> here is who it's terrifying for. i was reading about a lady living across the street from mount sinai where this man is being tested. she said she's aprayed for

the people in the -- she's afraid for the people in the waiting room but you know who is screwed? the people in the waiting room. >> state, federal and local officials are probably tracking down those folks at this moment to make sure there was no exposure to whatever agent this person has. >> when you hear about a deadly virus with a death rate up to 90% it has the chance to cause panic. we've heard every expert say the chance is zero it will be taken to the united states. >> five minutes after the top of the hour. to keep us posted with the news on the cease-fire in israel, here is heather. >> good morning. hope you're off to a great morning. 72 hours of peace, that is the agreement between israel and hamas, the cease-fire taking effect

this morning and over the next few days, delegations from israel and hamas will try to work out a long term truce and all of this happening the moment israel's ground troops pulled out of gaza. their mission of destroying 32 hamas terror tunnels they say is now complete. this is one of israel's more vocal critics. a british senior minister, a muslim cabinet member, resigns this morning. she tweeted this, quote, with deep regret i have written to the prime minister an tendered my resignation. i can no longer support government policy on gaza. that is the latest there. the federal government pulling the plug on emergency shelters in military bases for illegal aliens. nearly 7,700 immigrant chenoweth have been housed on -- immigrant children have been housed on bases in texas and california. officials saying the number of immigrants arriving in the united states has slowed down so they say

other facilities can be used to shelter them. one in oklahoma closed friday. a marine housed in a mexican prison is back behind bars this morning after a hearing held yesterday in tijuana. sergeant andrew tahmooressi's lawyer is saying it could be months before the marine is free. in court tahmooressi faced the border guards who arrested him in march after he made that wrong turn and crossed the border with three guns that were purchased legally in the united states. his lawyer argued this, that the marine's civil rights were violated because no one translated the reason for his arrest into english. listen to this. >> we still have some evidence to enter into the record. it's going to keep dragging on a little bit more. i think the case is going very well so far. it could be three months but it could be a little more. >> tahmooressi's mother was also in court, the judge

allowing her to spend about 20 minutes with her son after that hearing. former white house press secretary james brady has died. brady served president ronald reagan but was badly wounded in an assassination attempt on the president's life in 1981 in washington, d.c. after that shooting, brady took on a personal crusade for gun control. he eventually died from health problems that were related to that shooting. former first lady nancy reagan releasing this statement saying, quote, jim was the personification of courage and perseverance. he and s.a.r.ry brady action his -- he and s.a.r.ry brady never gave up. james brady was 73 years old. those are your headlines. what a legacy he leaves. >> no kidding. heather, thank you. yesterday we played you sound bites of the president of the united states. he was asked a number of times at different town halls, mr. president, why don't you do something about this immigration problem, and he said because i don't have the legal authority to do it. now we're hearing that the

white house feels that they do have the legal authority. they're waiting for eric holder to give them the thumbs up sign to do it. and they could annestize up to five million of illegals in the country even though the president said in the past no legal authority. >> we showed you on video former house speaker nancy pelosi becoming completely unhinged on the house floor calling tom marino a liar saying remember when you had control of congress and the white house. why didn't you do anything back then? she called him a liar, said he is an insignificant person. our story developed more and ed henry pressed the white house press secretary josh earnest on the same they think. he said the president was too busy. >> the first two years of the administration the president vowed in 2008 by the end of my first year in office we'll pass a

comprehensive immigration law. they failed to act for two years. why didn't he do anything then? >> a couple of things about that. the first is at the time, you recall in 2009 there are many things on the president's plate. >> as there are now. israel, gaza, syria, the economy. he has a lot going on now. >> i think the crisis we faced in 2009 as it related to our financial system and our economy, hemorrhaging jobs that that was understandably the focal point of congressional activity but also a lot of activity here at the white house. >> you had the house, senate and white house, 2009-2010. why didn't you focus on solving immigration problems then? >> there were a lot of other crises the president was focused on at that point. >> because the world is not on fire today. >> that is their excuse. we were busy. >> was one of the those crises the obamacare crisis, the political crisis, the necessity to pass obamacare. let's take a look back at

this nugget back then. >> tens of millions of americans will be a whole lot healthier from this moment on. ladies and gentlemen, the president of the united states of america, barack obama. [applause] >> they were busy with that big effing deal. they were busy with it because they made it their priority. they made it number one. now they're making immigration number one even though we've got so many things going on in this country as ed detailed. one of the biggest problems, you talk to people on the street and they say there is this problem with invasion on our southern border. it's curious because we had on the channel nick adams, a political commentator in australia. he was talking about how a number of years back australia essentially found themselves in the same situation we are right now.

and how did australia turn the boat around? here's nick adams. >> we had a problem with our border between 2001 and 2007 and then a government full of secular progressive pinheads got elected and dismantled this effective border protection policy that was in place with the usual claims it was inhumane, it was wrong, it was immoral. the conservative government basically came in and said we are going to determine who comes into this country and the circumstances under which they come and they got the australian military to sort it out. a sweep of measures which included turning back the boats, towing back the boats. but most of all our prime minister said if you come to australia the wrong way, if you come to australia illegally, you will never get to stay. you will never get to live in australia. you will never get to be -- >> once you -- >> the problem was the government was full of secular progressive

pinheads and then eventually the boss of the country said if you come here, we're going to send you home. >> how did they solve the problem? they cut off the water spigot, they turned the boats around like we heard so many cries like turn the buses around, turn the planes around and send these illegal immigrants back to where they came from. >> they have been very effective in terms of what they have done in australia. it has created a tremendous amount of controversy in terms of the practices they engage in in terms of holding these people who are seeking asylum. they have the same controversy going on here but they have been more effective in stopping the tide of illegal immigration in australia. >> is our border patrol effective at stopping the invasion on our southern border? we've got video to show you. it's a truck driver going through an border patrol check point.

he's wearing eye cam glasses and taping the border patrol agent and he asks him a question and the answer, it's quite something. we want to show it to you right now. watch. >> border patrol. how many people on board? u.s. citizens. >> does it really matter? >> not anymore unfortunately. thank you. >> you too. >> are you a citizen? yeah. but does it really matter? not anymore. unfortunately. thank you. >> wouldn't it be something to have that level of honesty from high officials in government? >> good point. you saw just from the smirk on the border patrol's face, you realized how disheartened these guys have to be while they're changing diapers and warming baby formula and handing out lollipops and being glorified baby sitters and not being able to do their jobs in some

instances. they're saying we ought to be taken seriously but right now we're not. >> broarm agents doing their -- border patrol agents doing their jobs and just as frustrated as the rest of us. >> also this morning voters head to the polls in four states today. all eyes are on the kansas primary and peter doocy is live in washington. many races seem to be pitting tea party backed candidates against established incumbents. >> reporter: the marquee race is in kansas where republican senator pat roberts on the job for 33 years must now defend his seat from a tea party challenger dr. milton wolf. this race has been ugly with challenger wolf accused of putting jokes about his patients' injuries on-line while roberts faces question about where he really lives kansas or d.c. roberts is still up double

digits. in kansas, the republican candidate is fighting to keep his job while winn fights to take his job e. she has been using a platform because her son got injured in a gun deal gone bad. sentencing reform is center stage in the winn campaign as is legalizing pot. in michigan one of the most prominent tea party lawmakers in congress is on the ballot today as a chamber of commerce backed businessman brian ellis tries to surge ahead into a congressional seat. ellis doesn't think amash works within the system. we will wait and see if anyone can pull off a surprise victory like dave brat did against eric cantor in virginia in june. >> peter doocy live in our

nation's capital, thank you very much. peter johnson, over to you. >> with california suffering its worst drought on record, water restrictions are rampant but that is not stopping marijuana growers from siphoning water from creeks and streams to irrigate their crops, while leaving the rest of the golden state high and dry. lieutenant patrick foy is with the california department of fish and wildlife. he's seen the damage grown by illegal marijuana growers guzzling up a lot of waters. good morning, lieutenant. we've got illegal marijuana growers, medicinal marijuana growers diverting creeks in a way that's caused the drought to be made much worse, the worst drought in california for many years. tell us about it. >> now that we have several years of drought it has become exacerbated by the

process of these guys taking these small creeks and damming them with illegal diversion dams and taking the water out of the creeks, in some cases, in fact many cases they're taking every drop of the water out of the creeks to divert to their crops. that deprives the native wildlife, the local wildlife of their most pressures resource and in fact these pipes are so big that they oftentimes will justify the amount of marijuana based solely upon the amount of water that's available. they will take every single drop to grow these marijuana plants. >> the law requires they only take 10% from these creeks. sometimes they're taking the entire creek basically. what you're seeing in california is an attack also on wildlife as a result of what they're doing in terms of fertilizers, in terms of using rat poisons. tell us how it is affecting wildlife and what kind of wildlife is getting killed as a result of their criminal efforts. >> there's usually, most of

these growers have zero rights to these waterways. they have no legal ability to take the water out of the creek. they take it any way. in addition to taking the water from the wildlife, they use these massive amounts of fertilizers, pesticides, plant hormones, all these different things and ultimately have a problem with the wildlife that comes in and they try to either dabbling -- damage the crops or get into the growers food sources and many of these deer, raccoon, basically every animal that lives in the forest have either been poached, shot by marijuana growers to prevent them from hassling them or getting into their crops or they have been poisoned by the rodent killers used in huge quantities to protect the irrigation pipelines from the rodents. they will gnaw on the pipelines and put little holes in them so they have to use massive amounts of rodent killers. >> the final question: what can you and the other officials do in california to shut this down, to stop this and return the water

to where it should be going, to californiaans who need it legitimately? >> aggressive enforcement is the key tool we've used. we went to the governors office and he authorized seven new positions for us to help address this very issue. that is where we're going right now in order to try to better address the problem and help out with our major drought situation. >> bad problem and interesting solution. lieutenant, thanks for your service on this. keep us up to date on this please. >> thank you. good to see you. >> they may have escaped death but they have not escaped the law. why they could be busted for playing around on the trakdz -- tracks. >> from the battle field to wrestling wring. a war hero gave his leg for this nation but didn't let that stop him from fulfilling his dream as a professional wrestler. he's here live.

temperatures, look at parts of the east, we have temperatures into the upper 80's. it will be a lot warmer in places like new york city. in parts of southern california you are looking at conditions that are a little bit improving over, at least compared to what you saw over the weekend. the high temperature in l.a. forecast to be 80 degrees. a lot of that rain has moved eastward and into portions of the northern plains. look at how much rain we're expecting across parts of south dakota, parts of northwest iowa. we're expecting as much as four inches of rain. that is going to be a concern out there. showers and storms rolling through today into tomorrow and temperatures will be cooling off across the great lakes wednesday and thursday. let's head back inside. >> maria molina with the latest on the weather. let's talk a little bit about this. we detailed a little at the end of last week and that was that john brennan, the guy who runs the c.i.a., apologized to congress because the c.i.a. was

spying on congress. think about that for a second. the c.i.a. spying on members of the house intelligence -- rather the senate intelligence committee because they were investigating the c.i.a. and as the c.i.a. was investigating them, everything got all haywire. >> which is clearly a violation of the constitution and the separation of executive branch and the legislative branch there. but is an apology enough? and what happens if he's proved wrong? you remember back in march he said he had no idea that any of this was going on and that once a report came out, things would be found to be false. >> we've got judge andrew napolitano. he's apologized for the c.i.a. spying on the u.s. senate. where would you like to start? >> it's a very scary story. first of all, the c.i.a. works for the president and the c.i.a. gets to spy, lie, steal, even fight

secret wars as long as it reveals all this accurately and truthfully to the senate intelligence committee and the house intelligence committee. when it lies to the people to whom it reports, who are essentially its regulators, a, it commits a crime. and, b, it loses the authority to do the things the president wants it to do. >> let's talk about authority, telling the truth and lying. let's watch what mr. brennan says in march with regard to these allegations. >> when the facts come out on this, i think a lot of people who are claiming that there has been this tremendous sort of spying and hacking will be proved wrong. >> there's a little bit of waiver about the tremendous lying and spying but this has never happened before. the head of the c.i.a. publicly acknowledging that his agents spied on the senate of the united states of america. that violates the constitution per se because that's one branch of the

government -- the executive branch -- invading the privacy of the other branch, absolutely prohibited. he also denied that it happened there. and according to senator feinstein, the chairman of the senate intelligence committee, he denied it in one of the private secret briefings to her. guess what? if he lied there, he can be indicted and prosecuted for lying to congress. >> which one is worse, the lying or being a leader that doesn't know what your people are doing? >> i'll tell you what's worse. what's the worst of all of this is that if the president did not know about this, he's out to lunch. and if the president did know about this and permitted it to go on and did nothing to stop it, he probably has committed an impeachable offense by authorizing and permitting his agents to spy on his adversaries in the senate. >> the president is still standing by his man. the white house had this to say. listen to this. >> i have full confidence in john brennan. i think he has acknowledged and directly apologized to

senator feinstein that c.i.a. personnel did not properly handle an investigation as to how certain documents that were not authorized to be released to the senate staff got somehow into the hands of the senate staff. it's clear from the i.g. report that some very poor judgment was shown in terms of how that was handled. keep in mind that john brennan was the person who called for the i.g. report. >> john brennan is also the guy who said we didn't do anything wrong. >> how do you summon the appropriate amount of outrage in terms of understanding this? this seems like something out of 24 or some terrible novel or something that the man who works for the president, the head of the c.i.a., is spying on the united states senate. >> the language you just heard from the president of the united states as he attempted to justify it is enough to make george orwell blush. and right before the president made that announcement, in order to bury this, he said you know

what? i looked at that senate report and we did torture people. we tortured some folks, the way he put it, in the bush administration. by the way, the c.i.a. has been spying on the smat and john brennan admits it. all this on a sleepy, lazy friday afternoon when the public's attention is elsewhere. the government is out of control. the president is permitting spying on the senate. and these guys can't keep their jobs when they lie. >> and democrats are calling for -- >> the democrats are calling for this. >> the attorney general investigating this? >> the activist attorney general? i wish he would investigate. a great point, peter because when the c.i.a. said -- when the senate ak cowed -- when the senate accused of cry of spying on it, they made referrals to the justice department and what did the justice department do? the activist attorney general punted. >> what peter is referring to -- >> who is the activist?

>> eric holder, our attorney general, was interviewed by juan williams of fox news and he also has a column as well. and this is what the attorney general said partisan. if you-- said. if you want to call me an activist attorney general i will proudly accept that label. any attorney general who is not an activist is not doing his or her job. the responsibility of the attorney general is to change things, bring the u.s. closer to ideals expressed in our founding documents. judge, i thought we wanted an attorney general who looked at the law and said that is either legal or it's not legal. and not somebody who says i think i can make this legal if i do this. >> to look at the law, look at human behavior, decide whether it is legal or not, decide whether there is evidence or not to prosecute, independent of the ideological wishes of the president, that is the reason we have an attorney general. in fairness to eric holder, attorneys general of both parties have been wedded at

the hip to the president. but for him to use that hot button word activist, and i know juan ginned him up a little bit, if by activist he means by defending the constitution, i'm with him. >> is he closer to an activist or closer to a community organizer? >> closer to a community organizer in the sense of i will do the president's bidding and look the other way when something happens that i don't want to prosecute because it is a hot political potato. >> is it a mistake to use this with juan williams and use hot button words? >> i think the word activist will be one he wishes he could have used another phrase. >> think about the supreme court. do you want a justice on the supreme court who is an activist? no. >> we connote activist with someone who inl -- injects their own ideology and uses

is this the kind of case given the fact that he's an activist attorney general he would inject himself into? >> i might be on the other side of this one. but this is initially a state crime and there is probable cause to believe there is a crime because the medical examiner ruled this a homicide, the choke hold. if the state fails to prosecute, the feds should come in. >> in the ordinary course the state has the first crack at it? >> absolutely because this is on its face a violation of state law. >> interesting stuff. i love having a judge and an attorney. judge, thank you very much. >> pleasure, guys. i love the purple anna. >> we're still on tv. >> i haven't had my espresso yet. >> coming up, youtube's newest and dumbest and most dangerous teen trend. we're warning it's hard to watch.

51 minutes after the hour. quick headlines. two airport employees busted in miami stealing passengers' luggage. the pair charged with taking thousands of dollars from bags at all three major airports in south florida. police say the men were caught

on camera taking luggage right off the carousel. they face multiple counts of grand theft. businesses use facebook to market themselves, but one texas restaurant is using it to publicly shame dine and dashers. in one owner posting pictures of a man who skipped out on the bill. it went viral and in less than 24 hours, he went back to pay up. >> one way to do it. >> what if your umbrella could predict the weather or fork monitored eating habits? >> it's not just a science fiction idea. those are some of the actual gadgets of the future. here is author of "enchanted objects, design, human desire and the internet of things," mit scientist david rhodes. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> let's start with the umbrella that predicts the weather. i love this. by the way, david invented this. >> right. this is trying to take information that you would

otherwise stay up late and watch the news for, check an app on your phone. the idea is that apps will leap off the phone into everyday objects. so this has a little transmitter that gets data from accuweather.com for your zip code and just makes a little sprinkling led pattern so you don't forget it on the way out. >> right down there. so if you had that in your umbrella stand and you looked at it as you headed out and it's going off, you know to take it with you. >> that's right. couldn't be simpler. >> this is another one you invented. >> yes. this is called a glow cap. this fits on ordinary medication packaging. it will pulse with light and play cute ring tones and text you so you don't forget to take your medication. so it's another example of sort of embedding sensors in everything. medication packaging so that people are healthier and taking medication. >> and for something like this, people will take their medication in a better way and more effectively and more faithfully. >> yeah. we did a clinically controlled pilot with hour regard and found

that -- harvard and found with this, people take their meds over 90% of the time, which is much greater than the average. >> some people think the microphone is bigger. but this is a camera clip. tell bus it. >> this is a life logging camera. takes a photo every 30 seconds and makes a flip book your day. it helps to capture your moments. it reveals things to you, like how often do you snack, how often are your friends looking at you and smiling. so my current company in boston called ditto labs is an image recognition company that looks at all these photos taken by something like this or social media to find brands -- >> when we saw you in the hallway, you were capturing me. >> that's right. the cameras will proliferate. >> talk about the sun sprite. >> sure. i have a bag, my bag has a little sensor on it that is solar powered that makes sure that i get another kind of

medicine which is sun. so it makes sure i get enough sun in the morning, which resets your rhythm and improves your mood throughout the day. >> especially people who live in climates that don't get a lot of sunshine. >> right. >> on your wrist, tell bus that gizmo. first i thought it was a fit built it's not. >> no. it's by a company called jaw bone. it's jewelry with sensors imbedded. so this tells me if i'm getting enough activity throughout the day and what my sleep is like. actually if i've been sitting down for over an hour, it will give me a little nudge. it will vibrate lightly to sort of prompt me -- >> no sedentary activity. >> it's not going to zap you completely, right? >> hold that up. >> does it come in larger size? doesn't look comfortable.

>> this is a product by a company in boston called the memo. it's a little onesy that has a stretch sensor imbedded so you may not have heard of this type of sensor. it senses respiration. it knows the temperature of a child. if the kid is moving around and breathing frequency. >> if it sensed dampness, it would be a good sensor to tell to you change the diaper. >> right. >> or your husband can change the diaper. >> interesting stuff. >> so the big idea here is that our relationships with technology is entirely changing. at stores we know today will jump off of the screen, embed themselves into almost everything around us. >> thank you very much. interesting stuff. coming up straight ahead on our program, a fox news alert. sean hannity is in israel. that's him right there. talking to the soldiers and even going deep into the hamas tunnels himself. will the latest cease fire be honored? he's live with doving details.

>> our hidden cameras capture what happens when children are alone in the presence of guns and the parents watching behind closed doors are stunned. we got a busy hour kicking off right now. you're watching "fox & friends" right here on the fox news channel. >> you're watching "fox & friends." that's a great way to begin your day. ♪ ♪ >> are you in the market for a new car? we're not going to have any fear factors coming your way. we have "consumer reports" giving us the best cars in four separate categories. >> later today after the program, i actually am taking one of my children to look for cars because heading back to collod choices here. >> absolutely. if you're looking for a pick up truck, we'll tell you what "consumer reports" is the best. meanwhile, one minute after the top of the hour and we start this hour with a fox news alert.

sean hannity is live near the front line there between israel and gaza and he joins us live today. sean, the cease fire started a little while ago. how is it holding? >> steve, good morning. let me give you the lay of the land. so far it does seem to be holding at this moment, but it's very interesting where we are right now. we're on the israeli-gaza border and if you look over here to my right and to my left on my right you see an israeli regiment with tanks, et cetera. they have literally pulled back out of gaza, which is directly behind me. i'll give you the geographical location. the same thing is happening exactly to my left. now, if you look out where i am here straight out, there is a little bit of l.a. style haze and murkiness. but if you look way in the background, you can see gaza city. in the near distance, the second road that you will see here, that is exactly where the border lies, just beyond that is a town

that was a launching pad for hamas and where they were firing a lot of rockets and pretty much that town has been wiped out in just the last couple of weeks here. over to my left is stay road. we spent a good part of the morning here. the cease fire began at 8:00 a.m. local time. it's 2:00 p.m. in the afternoon here. and just 7:59, a minute before it began, 30 rocks literally were fired from where i just showed you right into stay road. i spent a lot of time with the mayor there today. he said that in the last ten years, over 10,000 rockets have been fired from gaza into that town. we spent a lot of time inside children's playground that has six separate bunkers in there because the kids can't literally play outside because as you know, you have 15 seconds to actually get to a bomb shelter. i interviewed a lot of the parents and a lot of the people that work there. very compelling story in terms of what life is really like on a day-to-day basis with all these

rockets being fired from gaza into that area. but it's been a pretty informative time here. since we've been down on the ground some 26 hours now. >> yeah. not just on the ground, but below the ground. we want our viewers to see some video of you going into some of the hamas tunnels. these elaborate infiltration tunnels that are hard concrete. let's take a look at this video. >> i used to be a contractor. look at the level of sophistication here. you've got these cement walls and blocks. >> all the same size. >> all built out, all pieced together. by the way, the construction overall, very solid. >> very. >> this isn't going anywhere. so they worked their way all the way lieu. >> and it takes a year. we estimate the progress it takes. >> and you have to have a lot of people working. >> and a lot of money t and a lot of digging to get this. >> this is cement that's incredibly valuable on the strip that's going here rather than

anywhere else. >> a benchmark for success for israel to possibly pull back is destroy the tunnels. we heard initially there may be 30, possibly more. your sources are saying a lot more than that. >> i've been told by people here that they may have as many as 100. what's amazing about this, as i walk through this tunnel, first of all, it's about 60 feet below ground and the israelis literally he is coo straighted around it. there was excavation going on so you could get to the actual tunnel location. you go down a very steep hill. you get inside the tunnel. when you get inside, it's probably made for somebody 5' 9 or 5' 10. i'm six foot. i had to crouch down a little bit. if you look at the top of the tunnel, you had prepared literally formed pieces of cement. the walls were reinforced concrete cement. they had tracks on the bottom to bring the materials in and obviously as they're digging, they can bring the ground out. that is about one. literally behind me right where

the border is, there is another tunnel location that the israelis found and out of that location came hamas militants that killed a couple of israelis just a few weeks ago. so it's a pretty sophisticated network of tunnels here and if the peace holds, israel has to ask the question, is it better to tip the job now or is this something they'll have to get back to in the near future? >> you asked some questions of some of the idf soldiers back from the front lines about why they're fighting in this incredible struggle and it's interesting what they had to say. let's watch together. >> when you go to just where a little over a mile away from the border and where the fighting is going on and earlier today we were at a playground and there you have all of these bomb shelters, when you see that, what do you think? >> i grew up like that. it's not new for me. >> how are you? you speak english, right? >> yeah, that's right. >> what do you say to how

important this operation is and to finish it? >> the operation is very, really important. we've been waiting for a long time for such a serious operation. our people in israel are being attacked every day, are being threatened, something that i believe that we are the only country in the world that has to face such a threat such as the people coming out of the tunnel. >> they are rough solved to -- resolved to settle this, aren't they? >> you know, steve, peter, let me just tell you this, so i spent the time today, again, you see behind me is where gaza city is right over my right shoulder, over that way and over there you've got starute where i spent a lot of time today. in there is this daycare center 'cause the kids can't play. we spent a lot of time with the mayor. we went to the police station. we saw literally hundreds and hundreds of rockets that have been recovered.

the guy who runs this daycare center, in part funded by a lot of americans, estee lauder and other people. but they built this one place where the kids can actually play and i asked the mothers that bring their kids there every day, okay. if you've had 4,000 rockets in the last six weeks which is what they told me have been fired from over there to right over here, why do you stay? the answer was very simple. this is our home. the man who runs the facility says if we leave, then that means everybody begins to surrender. we're fighting not only for us, but for you because this is the free world versus those that want to bring terror to the world. it was very interesting answer considering what they live under, the threat they live under each and every day. >> absolutely. it's relentless. you never know in this case, whether or not the cease fire will hold. all fingers are crossed because like you said, just a minute before it started, a bunch of rockets into that town in israel. >> sean, your reporting has been stellar on this.

very interesting stuff. >> be safe. >> peter, if i can add just one last thing here, one of the things for all the people -- for all those people, and i know, for example, valerie jarrett and i know the state department and some others and john kerry and a lot of the president's spokes people have been speaking in days, i just have to wonder if they would experience one day, one week, one month, three months, six months with their families in this constant threat that is going on here, if it's 3200 rockets in four weeks, if it's literally starot next door which had 4,000 rockets in the last six weeks, one has to wonder, how long would you live there? how long would you want your children to live there? if you saw the rockets that i saw that they recovered, it's almost a surreal way of life that they are living. very, very different, very shocking to the conscience to

see what life can be like in a war zone like this. >> what a good way to frame it. 1,000 rockets into new york city, you think that would get a response? absolutely. >> that's an astute observation. >> sean hannity live at the gaza-israeli border, thank you very much for providing reports throughout the day right here on the fox news channel. we're going to switch gears now and go down to the border crisis that we have going on. yesterday we told you about representative tom monroe and he was talking to nancy pelosi about hey, remember when you had control of the house and the senate and the white house? why didn't you do anything about immigration reform? why is it that the president is going to have to do this on his own now and potentially amnetize 5000000 immigrants and called him a liar, became completely unhinged. ed henry pressed the white house press secretary, josh earnest, on the very same thing and said the president was too busy back then. listen. >> nancy pelosi, harry reid is running the house and senate,

first two years of this administration. the president vowed back in 2008 by the end of my first year in office we'll pass comprehensive immigration reform. why didn't he do anything then? >> the first thing is that at the time, you'll recall in 2009 there were many things on the president's plate. israel, gaza, the economy, he had a lot going on now, right? >> he does. but the crisis that we face in 2009 as it related to our financial system and our economy, emerging jobs, that that was understandably the focal point of congressional activity, but also a lot of activity here at the white house. >> you had the white house, senate, and white house, 2009, 2010. why didn't you focus on solving immigration then? >> my point is that there were a lot of other crises that the president was focused on at that time. >> so earnest says they were focusing on the financial crisis. but a lot of critics say they didn't focus on it in 2009 and 10, but were focusing on

obamacare at that point. so the crisis not focused on. >> so now what the white house is doing is trying to push out this message because congress didn't change the law, the president's going to do it himself. that would be illegal, but they're trying to soften up the main stream media to press that as the message, oh, that seems reasonable. congress wouldn't do anything, so the president is just doing it himself. a little crazy. what do you think about that? e-mail us and we will read that on our little laptop machine. >> there we go. heather nauert standing by with a look at the news headlines for us. >> good morning. i have an update on the condition of that nurse who has ebola. she is infected with the virus and she's now on her way to the united states. we're talking about nancy writebol and now being flown to emory hospital in atlanta and expected to land later today and undergoing an experimental treatment and appears to have positive effects.

she will join dr. kent brantley, her colleague, who has already been in isolation since saturday in atlanta. this is feared that the virus may have spread throughout the united states after a new york city man is now being tested for possible exposure. doctors at mount sinai hospital in new york saying it's unlikely that he has ebola, but they are still awaiting the test results. let's talk about extreme weather. six inches of rain within hours in naples. roads turning into rivers there during rush hour, stalling cars and stranding drivers. imagine that, six inches in an hour. then let's talk about california. clean-up now beginning in southern california. devastating floods and also the mud slides damaging at least 30 homes and stranding thousands of people in the town around san beer dino mountains. some of the roadways still being cleared. the mud slide also blocking in 500 adults and children at a church camp.

the roads there have since been cleared, but the kids are still there and they're all now helping with the clean-up. voters headed to the polls in four states and right now all eyes are on the kansas primary. three-term republican senator pat roberts in a tight race against tea party challenger milton wolf, he's on the right. wolf is a doctor and a second cousin of president obama. then in the kansas race for governor, sam brownback is facing opposition in the republican primary. business owner jennifer nguyen is a dark horse on the ballot there. now washington state. the race for one prosecutor is going to the dogs. 9-months-old dog, nima, in canada there, her owner says he's honest and charming and that's when we like to see in our politician. voters in michigan and missouri also head to the polls today. listen to this, a democratic congresswoman, julia brownly.

she made an error just about as big as an aircraft carrier. the democrat from california sent out a taxpayer-funded letter to voters in her district and it featured a photograph of a woman in uniform. see the bottom right corner of your screen? there is just one problem. these are costumes and they're not official uniforms. also, by the way, shows a gold insignia from the german air force and perhaps what's most embarrassing, she serves on the veterans affairs committee. and those are your headlines. >> oopsy daisy. thank you very much. parents, be on the alert. come to the tv to watch this. the latest youtube trend has teen-agers lighting themselves on fire. here is a warning, a little hard to watch. no! >> okay. it's being called the fire challenge where teen-agers pour flammable liquids on themselves and flick a lighter.

several kids have received second degree burns and it is just outright stupid. oftentimes they're close to a tub or a shower or a pool, they try to put themselves out quickly, but as we see right there, things can go horribly awry. we are joined by psychology professor, dr. charles williams. good morning to you. >> thanks for having me. >> you know, i'm looking at this and i'm thinking, that's about as dumb as anything i've seen in a while. why are they doing it? >> you know, when you live in an era today where kids, too many kids will do almost anything to get attention, to get hits, clicks, views, likes on social media apps. now that includes setting themselves on fire. i can't believe i'm talking about this on national tv. seems like a cruel joke, but it's real and we have to talk about it so that parents can know what the signs are in terms of maybe their kid going out and

getting nail polish remover and then being able to talk to them about the possible dangers of not only this social media game, but other social media games we've talked about in the past. social media has become a very dangerous place for kids. >> sure. you're right. it's all about the number of clicks because i've got kids in their teens and 20s as well and they talk about hey, dad. look at this thing. it's gone viral. i'll look at it and sometimes it makes sense. but other times stuff like this. i'll be thinking, what is going through their head? doctor, we have talked on this program before about depraved kids who get bored and they went out and killed somebody because they had nothing else to do. is this another instance like that? >> well, it's similar in that like i believe that was the slender man, that whole debauchle which led to a young woman being maliciously attacked and killed and they decided to do that because they wanted to, i don't know, please slenderman,

the social media creation. i think what is similar is that again, to be liked, to get attention, to have followers, to feel as though you're part of something, to feel as though you feel in, young people will do some very malicious and heinous things, from the knockout games, flash mobs and now setting themselves on fire. so we have to be very aware of these dangerous trends and more importantly, parents have to be aware because can you imagine getting a phone call saying that one of your daughters, god forbid, participated in such a game like this? so we really have to talk about the dangers of social media now. the irony that social media was created for people to be more social, to engage in positive social behavior, to be connected, and now we have them engaging in these very dangerous acts. >> okay. so your advice is for parents to monitor their kids' social media. what does that mean? i know my kids have twitter and facebook and some other stuff i've never looked at before. i know they have it. but i'm not looking at it.

>> there you go. that's it, steve. you're not looking at it. as parent, i'm not lecturing but. but it's your responsibility to look at these things. back in the day we had the corner of the block. we had the mall, we had playgrounds. now we have twitter. we have facebook. we have vine. we have instagram. these are places in spaces where teens r they congregate and gauge in social behavior and sometimes that social behavior is dangerous and the reason why so many dangerous things are happening now in social media, it's my opinion because parents and adults aren't involved. we don't look. we look away. we say that's the private space. but bad things can happen in these private spaces. so parents have to be aware. they have to educate themselves about these dangerous trends and you have to monitor. there is software to monitor your kids on line behavior. >> and if people would like to know about that, just google it. dr. williams joining us from philly, thank you very much. talk being this. >> thank you.

>> thank you, sir. 20 minutes after the the hour. first it was our bank accounts. then high-tech cars. now a new warning that even passenger jets can get hacked. then meet the brand-new miss new teen usa. the message she has for every young girl, caylee graham walking into our studio right now. good morning to you. and welcome to "fox & friends"! >> thank you. ♪ ♪ (vo) get ready! fancy feast broths. they're irresistabowl... completely unbelievabowl... totally delectabowl. real silky smooth or creamy broths. everything she's been waiting for. carefully crafted with real seafood, real veggies,

to nibble on the camera at one point before taking off. >> he thought it was fruit loops. >> maybe. it's a real one. it's not a puppet apparently. that's a real toucan. >> bird, bird, bird, is the word. >> bird is the word. >> thank you for joining us on this tuesday morning. brian kilmeade is off today. peter is in his spot. >> good morning. >> elisabeth is off. we got anna. great to have both of you. >> good morning. >> busy news day. >> incredible news day. a lot going on. >> we all know about our sergeant am reesey being held in a mexican jail for almost 130 days. he just had a hearing and his attorney is speaking out this morning who was on the record with greta van susteren and he said you know what? the light at the end of the tunnel may be a long time coming. listen. >> right now until this stage is over. since it's not over yet, we still have some evidence to

file, we still have some evidence to enter into the record, it's going to keep dragging on a little bit more. it could be three months, but it could be a little more. >> okay. luckily we got peter johnson, jr. here, an attorney. how can this take three months more? >> because it's not the american system of justice. it's the mexican system of justice and it appears to me, based on what i've read, they're slow walking this a little bit. he's got a strong attorney, it appears. he's trying to check out the due process issues. was he given a translator? was the arrest processed properly? was there writings on the documents that didn't belong there? so he's trying, in terms of technicalities, to get this thing thrown out. but the issue becomes for a lot of americans, why can't the president pick up the phone and resolve this thing outside of the criminal justice system, especially when i understand that mexico has actually changed

the sign where our poor fellow took the wrong turn. it's been changed to make it clear. >> because apparently the day he went through, it was on the ground and you couldn't actually see it. some of the things his lawyer said was apparently he said that the arrest form was blank when mr. tahmoreesi was stopped, it was blank, and the mexican officers just filled it out right there, which seems a little odd. they also said, the attorney did, that apparently 11 pages were missing from the record. and the border patrol appeared to have been coached. >> they need a diplomatic resolution. that's the president. >> absolutely. come on, we've had the family on the show, his mother, saying remember this 911 call? it pretty much proved that he got lost. he didn't come here nefariously. he called 911 and said can you help me? she said, you've crossed the border, son. i'm sorry, there is nothing i can do for you.

but mom says it proved it. come on. >> crazy story. >> come on, mr. president. >> it doesn't look like he's out 'til november at the earliest. in the meantime, we got more news. heather? >> a lot of folks are nervous about flying these days. here is another issue to think b. passenger jets could be at risk for a cyber attack. researcher figured out how to hack into satellite communication systems. so this basically means a hacker could use a plane's on board wi-fi signal to interfere with navigation systems that rely on those satellite transmissions. frightening to think about. caught on camera, a woman at the beach nearly crushed by an out of control jet ski in the bahamas. look at this. >> oh, my god. is she okay?

>> climbed off that jet ski. she had just seconds to spare. you can see a guy and a girl on the other jet ski flying through the air after the crash. amazingly, everyone walked away okay. our guys in the news room like to look at the pretty girls. we'll probably show you that again. speaking of looking at folks dressed, the u.s. army is unveiling its new camouflage patterns and said to be rolled out by summer 2015. it's called operational camouflage pattern. it features green, light beige and dark brown. the uniform is designed to help troops hide in the environments they're most likely to encounter these days. that design actually replaces the current one, the digital cammo. call it the least sincere apology ever. a united airlines customer rep forgot to fill in the complaint. the letter refers to a specific event and a specific item. the airline claims it can't confirm that the letter is even

real just based on a picture. but nevertheless, that passenger not too happy. those are your headlines. let's go over to you. >> left out some details. thank you very much. extreme weather to report this morning in las vegas. emergency crews rescuing stranded motorists after thunderstorms dumped several inches of rain just in a couple of hours. flash flooding in low lying areas. at least 30 cars were stuck on the flooded streets. thankfully, nobody reported injured. >> yeah. fortunately. we'll hand it over to maria molina outside on the streets of new york. been talking a lot about bertha, tropical storm hurricane, what's the latest? >> right now bertha is a tropical storm maximum sustained winds at 65 miles per hour and forecast to continue to weaken and remain off the east coast of the u.s. this is great news for the east coast of the united states, most impacts how you'll look from bertha are rough surf, possibly some rip currents. but overall, the storm expected to continue to weaken and move away from the coast. temperature wise, the

temperatures are going to be climbing across parts of the east coast. you'll make it into the upper 80s in new york city, raleigh, north carolina, and you're in the 90s from atlanta to the plains. it's going to be another hot one across parts of arizona. but parts of southern californi. 80 degrees in l.a., areas of heavy rain forecast in the northern plains. now let's head over to peter. a new report shows small cars may not do well in some crash tests. so what are some of your best options at the dealership? "consumer reports" has drove more than 260 cars and here now with some of the best, deputy auto editor of "consumer reports," jeff bartlet. good morning. >> good morning. >> we've got four and you say these are four of the best. let's start with the subaru, honda accord. >> here is the subaru. it is a small car, but it's one that has outstanding marks for safety. it's a good all around car. this gets 27 miles per gallon despite being all wheel drive.

agile ride, a lot of car for the money. >> $21,000. >> 21 as it sits. starts a little less. >> let's go. here we go. the honda accord. this is a beautiful-looking car. i understand, look at this, this is a roomy car. >> this is an extremely roomy car. this has the unique designation within our test of being well suited to small drivers and tall drivers. very versatile. this gets 30 miles per gallon overall. 40 miles per gallon highway. despite being a large roomy car. >> 4 cylinder car. >> is this a 4 slippedder. you can get v 6 if you want. >> toyota highlander. i'm told you can fit eight people in this car or a version of it? >> you can. depending on the seats in the second row, whether captains or bench, you can fit up to seven or eight passengers. this is a redesigned suv. gets top marks in our test. a good all around package.

notable for having more agile handling than in the past. >> v 6, six speed automatic. we have this third row and it's pretty easy to get in and out. >> it is. especially with the captain seats. >> this is interesting. we've got our chrysler. tell us about this vehicle. i'm told first time in 16 years that chrysler vehicle like this has made it to the "consumer reports" list. >> been a long time since chrysler has been in our top ten. this here is the new ram in diesel form. we tested the nondiesel and it absolutely shined in our pick up truck test. pick up trucks tend to compete based on numbers. but where this really shines is is less tangible elements of being quiet, having a great ride thanks to coil rear suspension. we think this is the pick up truck that can not only do the work chores but you'd want to live with during the week. >> why is the coil spring important? >> here you have a full size truck that has suspension that's more like a mid-size suv rather

than a simpler leaf spring suspension like you see in a traditional truck. what that does is help handling and also helps the ride. >> wow. absolutely, this is a v. 8 and eight speeds? >> this one here is a diesel version, so this is the one that's right for towing and also excels for fuel economy. >> these are really interesting cars. i know steve is looking for one today. so maybe he'll be looking at one of these today. jeff bartlet from "consumer reports," good to see you aislings. >> good to see you. >> anna, what do you have to say? >> you're right. i am looking for a car for one of my college-age girls. >> yes. >> but i want a pick up truck. 19 minutes now before the top of the hour. coming up, how would your child react to finding a gun and their parents aren't around at the time? our hidden cameras capture what happens when kids encounter a gun while playing. see how differently the boys and

off firearm at home and have kids, you might want to watch this. studies show over 70% of kids under ten know the location of their parents' firearms in the home. the startling part is that almost 40% of their parents had never even told the child there was a gun in the house. >> so we asked the question: if a child found a firearm like that, what would he or she do? using a replica of a gun, we set up a play area and some hidden cameras to capture how children would react. >> child and adolescent

psychologist helped us with our observation and she joins us now. good morning. >> hi. thanks for having me. >> so were you surprised by what you saw? >> i was shocked. it was completely counter intuitive. i expected younger children to be exploring the guns and i found out that -- i'll let you see what happened. >> let's look at the first video we've got. a couple of brothers. one five, the other seven years old. given some instruction on what to do and not to do. here is the video. >> i have a question, what did you think about this gun? do you think it's a real gun or toy gun? >> real gun. >> you think it's a real gun? would you want to touch it? >> no. >> how come? i'm glad you don't want to, but how come you don't want to touch the gun? >> because -- whoa! >> did your mom teach you? did your dad teacher or school? how did you learn?

>> my dad. >> mom and dad taught you. >> okay. what's going on there? >> that was very interesting. that was our first group. five and seven-year-old boy. they had been taught not to touch guns. he actually told me that he would not trust me, that he did not know for sure if it was real or not and he was not going to touch it. and the five-year-old was not at all interested. it was really surprising. i would have expected younger children to want to know what that gun was all about. >> sure. >> then the next scenario we have are a couple girls and they actually find the gun in the room. let's watch this play out. >> what is this? >> what is it -- a gun! how do you use it? >> i don't know. >> oh, oh. >> what? >> put this down. i don't really know if it's

safe. >> put it away. don't touch it. >> that was really fascinating because i guess there was a little sexist, i did not expect the girls to be interested in the guns and they were the most interested in the guns. >> why is that? >> they had gun safety from their parents. they had been taught on a daily basis not to touch guns. so it was really surprising that they not only touched it, the older child really pointed it, pointed it at herself, really would have done something, possibly dangerous. and i think that was because -- she became familiar with the gun and therefore, she didn't expect the risk, like she thought she was more in control. but she did protect her younger sister as she said, let me feel it. she went like this and said no, no. this might be dangerous. >> let's look at the third one. this is a brother and sister and they're joined later by a group of siblings. let's see what happened and you determine really what was going

on. >> you can look around and i can see if there are any other toys. okay? >> i already checked this out. >> i checked that gun out. >> this is a toy gun. >> that's a dangerous toy. i'll get something else. i'll be right back. >> there was some fascinating things here. the kids, i had told them this is dangerous, don't play with guns. i put it back down. the minute i left, they started playing with the guns. i came back in and said were you playing with the gun? oh, no. i left gun, they picked up the gun, pointing it at everybody. >> interesting stuff. the key is you have to talk to your kids about it. we thank you very much.

argument, although it's not true -- congress did not change the law, so the president is going to do it for them. that's not actually how things work in this country, but that, peter johnson, jr., i can see you're chomping at the bit. because that is not how things work. >> that's not how things work. but the white house press secretary, josh earnest, head to head with our chief white house correspondent, ed henry said, we were too busy back in 2009 to get that done. too busy! >> nancy pelosi and harry reid were hundred -- running the house and senate. the president vowed by the end of my first year in office, we'll pass comprehensive immigration law. they failed to act for two years. why didn't he do anything then? >> the first thing is that at the time, you'll recall in 2009 there were many things on the president's plate. israel, gaza, syria, the economy. he has a lot going on now, right? >> he does.

but the crisis that we faced in 2009 as it related to our financial system and our economy, hemorrhaging jobs, that that was understandably the focal point of congressional activity, but also a lot of activity here at the white house. >> you had the white house, senate and white house, 2009 and 2010. why didn't you focus on solving immigration problems then? >> my point is that there are a lot of other crises that the president was focused on at that point. >> if you remember back during that period of time, they were working on a really big deal. remember this? >> ten americans will be a whole lot healthier from this moment on. ladies and gentlemen, the president of the united states of america, barak obama. >> so back then -- josh earnest says look, we couldn't pass it when we controlled both houses and the white house back then 'cause we were too busy doing

that big [ bleep ] deal right there. how did that big [ bleep ] turn out? well, a lot of people would say it's a big [ bleep ] mess. >> they're talking about obamacare there, that they were spending their time, energy and efforts working on -- and not work on immigration reform when they did have the house, senate and the white house and they could have done something about it. >> there were no immigration bills pending at that point? no. >> even though the president has no legal authority, it looks like he is going to amnetize up to 5 million. and the border crisis may not be a new issue, but the broken spirit of our border agents is a growing one. watch this video that was taken by a guy on his i camera where he's driving a truck through one of the border patrol stops down in texas. he has an exchange with the border patrol agent who seems to be just as frustrated as all of us are.

>> how you doing? how many people on board? >> me. >> u.s. citizen? >> yeah, but does it really matter? >> not anymore, unfortunately. thank you. >> you, too. >> not anymore. >> joining us now over the phone, exclusive interview with the trucker who took that video, travis pope. you just pulled over, right? >> yes. >> travis, you say you see this all the time. you have these conversations with these borrowed patrol agents, who you like and who you trust, and this is the response that they give very often. >> yes. i travel the border states all the time. i ask that question of every one of them and that's what they give me. >> what made you decide to put these glasses on. something that you're fed up with watching these illegal immigrants flood through our borders with open doors? >> yes. i wear my glasses all the time. just this morning the sun was in my eyes and i just put them on and i turned them on. i always turn them on when i go

through the checkpoint just in case get pulled in or anything. >> so we understand, was it a set of icam glasses? >> yes. icam glasses. i got it at cabell a's. >> you pull up here. tell us where this is and what was going on at the time. >> it's there in sierra blanca, texas on interstate 10. i see and hear all the stuff all the time about the border, the immigrants coming across and our government isn't doing anything about it. they've tied their hands since janet napolitano was there giving the catch and release order, i've even asked about that. they said yeah, that's basically all it is. we catch them and release them. >> sure. travis, this is not the international crossing into mexico. is this an interior checkpoint

at sierra blanca, texas? >> yes. that's correct. we call them border checkpoints. >> so there is a checkpoint before you get to the border? >> no, it's not that type of checkpoint. >> travis, you also indicated that you believe the agent that's on this video and others that you met are true american heros, but they shouldn't be tied down changing diapers and doing the like. what do you mean by that? >> well, their job is to catch the people coming across the border, detain them and then we're supposed to deport them back. but our government isn't following the rules on the books. we don't have a border problem. we have a government problem. they won't enforce the laws that we have. >> travis, in your opinion, do you feel like these border patrol agents actually really deserve respect from everybody -- people are thinking they're not doing their job. well, they're trying to do their job, but they're taxed, with they not? >> yes. that's all they're trying to do is do their job.

but they're given orders from up above from the white house, administration not to do things. and they can't do it. and so they're basically reduced to just asking if we have -- if we're u.s. citizens and letting us go. they can't do nothing. >> i guess it's the honor system when they ask you. that agent right there, it does seem in his answer, he's just frustrated with the situation like the rest of us. >> yeah. he's an american. all of them down there are just as frustrated as all of us. same question i ask at all of them. they all say the same thing. they're just all fed up that they can't do their job. >> travis pope, we're going to let you get back on the road and do your job there driving your truck. thanks for joining us. >> thank you. >> travis, by the way, what are you hauling today? >> i don't know. >> just something in the back.

>> yeah. >> thanks a lot. one regular american speaking truth to power. >> there you go. >> heather nauert now waiting in the wings for a look at what else is making headlines. >> good morning. i've got news from overseas and from israel this morning. the cease fire taking effect earlier this morning and over the next three days. delegations from israel and hamas will meet in cairo to try to work out some sort of a long-term truce. this as israeli ground troops have pulled out of gaza. their mission of destroying 32 hamas tunnels is now complete. sean hannity on the show earlier saying that there could be a lot more tunnels than that. he got an inside look at some of those tunnels and here is what he told us earlier. >> but if you look at the top of the tunnel, you have prepared literally formed pieces of cement. the walls were reinforced, concrete cement. they had tracks literally on the bottom so that they can bring the materials in and obviously

as they're digging, they can bring the ground out. >> since the fighting began almost a month ago, nearly 1900 palestinians have died. that's according to palestinian aids groups and 67 israelis have been killed. a desperate search is underway in washington state for a missing six-year-old girl. she was last seen on saturday when she went to bed. her parents didn't report her missing until a day later when she didn't show up for dinner. they say that she often roams the neighborhood completely on her own. >> she went to bed, was asleep. wake up. she probably out running and playing. >> both parents have taken lie detector tests and allowed police to search their home. child protective services removed two of their other children. it's unclear at this point why. but we will keep watching that story for you. a mississippi law maker trying to use divine intervention to try to start the

deadlocked congress. republican congressman just delivered all 535 members in the house and senate with a bible, along with this letter, saying, quote, on a daily basis, we contemplate policy decisions that impact america's future, recommendations help us make informed decisions. however, i find the best advice comes through meditating on god's word. and do you remember that justin bieber song "baby" that came out four years ago? if you're like a lot of us, you probably found it a little unbearable. ♪ baby, baby, baby oh, baby ♪ baby, baby, baby, oh, >> here is the song it's unbearable. a russian fisherman saying the pop star saved his life. that guy was being attacked by a bear when his phone went off.

the ring tone on his phone was that song "baby." the man says the bear got scared and then ran away. and who can blame him? a big burly russian. >> his walls are plastered with posters. >> it reminds me of my father-in-law. he has a cabin in the woods. when we walk around the cabin, we have to blow a whistle to keep the bears away. going to use the bieber song from now on. >> what's his ring tone? >> thank you. things are ratcheting up across the globe. shaky cease fires in the middle east. after a month of fighting in gaza, other conflicts include a clashes between the ukraine and russia, growing threat of isis, and there is also renewed fighting in afghanistan. now amid all the chaos, there is some sobering news for our u.s.

forces. >> get this, while all that is going on, 550 army majors are being pink slipped while some of them are still deployed in a war zone. our next guest says cutting our most experienced troops is leaving our country very vulnerable at a precarious time. >> pete hegseth is the ceo for concerned veterans for america and a veteran of the iraq and afghanistan wars. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> these pink slips coming after another slash of 1200 captains and getting these pink slips while they're serving. is this the best time to be doing this at all? this world seems to be getting more dangerous? >> the world is getting more dangerous. the last thing a major needs is a pink slip saying within 30 days of this date, you have to be home and out of the military. think about majors. they've been in for ten to 15 years. that is the longevity of the conflict we've been in since 9-11. these are your most experienced officers. they've been platoon leaders and company commanders. they've seen the enemy firsthand on the battlefield.

they're going to be our future leaders. because we're right sizing the force, because the president wants to chop our military in order to maintain a smaller force, you got to cut majors and so the army is doing what it has to do in a tighter budget environment. >> and there is always going to be pink slips that come at certain times. it's just the way the military works. but to have so many at such kind of a scary time, given the fact that there are people all around the world who want to kill us and we're essentially going to have a brain drain. >> absolutely. and what we're creating is what i would call high risk force. are we still going to be the most powerful military in the world? yes. most technologically advanced? yes. can you scale up quickly again? you can't just recreate another major or another lieutenant colonel. the cuts we're making now will be saddled on the backs of future commanders in chief who will face future threats in a world that's getting more dangerous without 550 majors and

you've seen netanyahu making calculations today based on america, he can't count on. >> what do you think this will do to morale for people serving now and also for little johnny who might want to grow up and be a soldier one day and then see this? >> let's say that gavin walked out with a pink slip for you right now and said just continue the rest of the show. that's necktively what you're telling these majors. here is a pink slip, but we want you to finish this time and then good luck finding a job. the military is not a jobs program. there is places where we can be more efficient in the way we spend. but to do this this way in the time of war sends a signal to the individual and the enemy that we're not serious about those threats. >> i know you never like to talk to the pentagon and tell them what they should be doing. but do you have a better idea on how to save some money, which they've got to do because we've got to take the money that we've got at the pentagon and put it in other programs. what would do you instead? >> you can start with processes like acquisitions reform. the way we procure new weapon systems, new missile, new

planes. we spend billions more than we should. it takes years longer than we should because it's a process that was started under the eisenhower adds managers and has -- administration and has never been reformed. our group is going to try to help them actually achieve this so that we cut the fat to keep the muscle. you keep the major, you lose the waste. it's not just waste. it's processes. there is things that need to be remind. the money is there to be found if you need to. but right now we're doing it arbitrarily. we're chopping people, personnel, which is the quickest, easiest way, but not the smartest way. >> change the system. >> that's right. >> captain pete hegseth reporting for duty on the curvy couch. >> thank you so much. fox news alert to tell you about. ebola scare in new york city. another infected american arrives back in georgia. we are live where the plane is about to land. and you know her from a little show called "bay watch." but she has a new game now. actress and host of the game show "the chase," brook burns is testing our trivia skills.

27-year-old woman, a mother of two, was pulled over during a routine traffic stop in atlantic city. she told the cops that she had a hand gun in her car and then showed them her concealed carry permit, which is from the state of pennsylvania. remember, she was now in the state of new jersey and the permit is not honored in new jersey. so she was arrested and here is what she told us about those charges. listen. >> i hope that they pardon me because i didn't know it could happen to anybody. >> she was a new gun owner and didn't know the law. if convicted, she faces up to three years in prison. she'll be before that judge at 1:30 eastern time today. caught on camera, a woman nearly crushed by an out of control jet ski in the bahamas. look at this. >> oh, my -- oh, my god. is she okay? >> we hear about these near misses all the time. this one, she is so lucky with just seconds to spare, she gets off the jet ski and out of the

entrenched. and because it's entrenched, it doesn't turn on a dime. i was aware and i took great steps to eliminate them. we had this report cite things that happened before my leadership of the band. i love ohio state and i would love an opportunity to work with the university to improve the culture. >> ohio state loved its band. waters became director in 2012. army sergeant chris melendez lost his leg in iraq when he was just 19 years old. that did not stop him from fulfilling one of his life long dreams of becoming a professional wrestler. he makes his debut tonight. he stopped by here earlier and talked about achieving this incredible goal. >> the key i think helped me a lot as i said before, is my training in the military, just having that military mentality and you can't feel sorry for yourself. that's the key. you can't get down on yourself. >> his first big match airs on september 11. congratulations to him.

what an inspiration he is for so many of our wound warriors. >> that's cool. >> anna talked to him earlier. >> tonight is when he's actually going to be having his first match. then it will air on september 11. so obviously the significance is pretty important for him. >> absolutely. heather, thank you very much. we've got kind of a troubling story when you actually think about the top lawman in the united states of america is our attorney general, right? well, it turns out eric holder, our attorney general, revealed to juan woman's something very, very -- williams something very, very troubling. he's not just a referee trying to interpret the law, peter johnson, jr. he is an activist. >> he says he's an activist. here is what he said to juan williams. if you want to call me an activist attorney general, i will proudly accept that label. any attorney general who is not an activist is not doing his or her job. the responsibility of the attorney general is to change things and bring us closer to ideals expressed in our founding

documents, to change things. i thought it was to enforce the law and to prosecute people who do wrong and engage in civil litigation as well? judge andrew napolitano was here earlier this morning and he really articulately and eloquently talked about the role of the attorney general and eric holder. >> to look at the law, to look at human behavior, decide whether it's legal or not, decide whether there is evidence or not to prosecute independent of the ideological wishes of the president. that's the reason to have an attorney general. we connote activists with someone who injects their own ideology and uses that as a guidepost in exercising the official power of the government. that's not what we want. >> also asked if eric holder would be unhappy looking back, if it was a good idea to use the word activist when being interviewed and he said yeah, i think he's probably going to wish he had never said that. but in the piece it seems he

thinks activist is a badge of honor. he's also been called president obama's heat shield, talk being things that the president can't easily talk about. >> we've got an activist president. why wouldn't we have an activist attorney general? >> activist usually connotes something political, someone involved in a political way trying to change things. he indicated he's trying to change things as an attorney general. what do you think? is that the role of an attorney general? enforce the law or to activate some sea change perhaps of a political nature? >> all right. it's 20 minutes before the top of the hour. we have dispatched our own maria molina out to the streets, 48th and ofth avenue. she joins us live with i think weather and a frizz quiz? >> yeah, that's right. let's get get to the weather forecast. i want to talk about bertha. yesterday this storm was upgrade to do a hurricane. now just a tropical storm, maximum sustained winds at 65 miles per hour. it is forecast to remain away from the east coast of the united states. of course, this is great news. temperature wise, highs in the

90s across the plains and to the southeast. upper 80s in new york city. so we are on that warming trend. as far as rain goes, we do expect heavy rain across parts of the northern plains. several inches expected out there. and some showers and storms as well across parts of south florida. now i want to switch gears a little bit. did you know that august is national anti-frizz month? that's according to vo 5 and year after year, i've been suffering with frizzy hair and one example was on hair. i was with you on this assignment at the big daddy golf classic. it was 95% humidity that day. we started out the day just fine. by the end of it, your hair was fine, but mine was not. this is a before and after. you can see there on your screen. yeah. so they gave me this poll. they gave me all these products because they felt bad and we learned how to combat my frizzy hair and make everything a lot better. >> thank goodness. >> actually. >> you look awful in that picture, maria. >> one here in my pocket.

don't leave here without it. they told me that 75% of women that they polled do look at the weather forecast to determine how frizzy their hair could potentially be. i went ahead and made your frizz cast and across parts of the southeast is going to be higher humidity. so there is a higher chance for some frizz. that's going to be the story as well across portions of the plains. >> this is your frizz quiz? >> no. that's supposed to be a map. it's a full screen. so you can see where there is going to be higher humidity in the southeast and across the plains. now for your frizz quiz. there you go. there is your frizz cast. now let's go ahead and hit those three questions that we want to ask you. these are true or false. here is the first one, how drying your hair can help tame frizz? is that true or false? >> absolutely true. >> it's false. peter, it's false. >> it's false. >> if you towel dry it too much,

then you start to create some frizz. >> what about a blow drier? can it burn my hair? >> you got to be careful, peter. the second question is, brushing your hair can lead it breakage and frizz? is that true or is that false? >> that's true, especially if you have hair spray. >> anna, you are right. it's true. >> it happens. the higher the hair, the closer to god. >> i find hot oil treatment is my best friend. >> peter johnson, jr., all right. thank you very much. maria, thank you very much for the frizz quiz. meanwhile, fox news alert. fighter jets have just been scrambled to escort a passenger plane into manchester airport near london. officials say the pilot radioed about a possible device on board the jet liner. this is a picture of the plane before it landed. right now the plane is on the ground and police are responding

good morning. fox news alert. fighter jets just scrambled to escort a passenger plane into manchester airport near london. officials saying the pilot radioed about a possible device on board. this is a picture of the plane before it landed. >> we don't know where the flight originated from, but some reports say it came somewhere from the middle east. >> let's listen to our partners in the u.k. right now, sky news. >> should there be a problem with the aircraft and its electronic flight control system navigation system, for example, then the typhoons could literally bring the aircraft into the runway. that didn't need to happen in this case as far as we can see, the aircraft is now down on the ground and that a disbursal at manchester, designed to be able to take these airplanes, emergency services from not just

the airport, but from the surrounding area. all of those people will be there. it's a well-practiced plan which is used so occasionally, perhaps once a year somewhere in the united kingdom. >> now that the plane is on the ground, is the job done? will they go back? >> yes. the royal air force have done their bit. the first line of defense. the primary role of the royal air force is the air defenses of the united kingdom. and so they have fulfilled that part of the bargain. it's now over to -- depends how far up the chain this has gone, but this is now a police matter once aircraft is on the ground. probably in the hands of the ctu, counter terrorist unit, which will be involved in man chester and if necessary, there are army units in the explosive ordinance disposal which could be called in.

and the royal air force has its own bomb disposal team as well. if it's an aviation related matter. it's all about judging who was the best responder to this, who can deliver the best and the quickest solution to bringing the situation back to normal. >> the latest beyond our getting it from manchester is flights in and out of the airport are being diverted. we had one eyewitness said that he could see no planes coming in or out of manchester airport while this operation was underway. that seems to be a concern that flights are being diverted and other flights will be using the airports. the plane at the end of the runway. at the airport itself, the third largest airport in the country, it's been evacuated there to ensure the safety of those at the airport who are waiting for their flights. joining us in studio, sam kyle

kylely. this flight came from qatar. you were saying security would have been very tight, wouldn't it, on one of these planes? >> yeah. it would be. the flights out of the middle east are very, very tight because of the history of hijacking out of the middle east, which has not been repeated too often. there is an attempt in the more recent past has been to smuggle bombs in underpants, shoes, precisely because it has been so effective. none the less, there are also, of course, all kinds of political tensions at work. we've seen people trying to seek asylum by hijacking aircraft in the past. in other words, with no real intent to blow them up, but simply to get out of the country they're in at that time. this took off in dohar, there is certainly fairly authoritarian structure. there aren't enough qataris to

generate very much an opposition. it's a wealthy country in any case. those areas are much less problematic. i think it's likely that this -- once an incident like this goes on, something gets reported, perhaps a member of the crew reports to the pilot, the expert was saying you then go into a protocol. it doesn't end until it ends. you don't suddenly halfway through say oh, no, we've changed our mind. we didn't think it was suspicious after all. if you hit that red button, that goes right through to the point at which the very least, the passengers are evacuated. >> but the pilots and the crew also have training to know that they don't hit that red button until they have a really strong suspicion. >> they can't afford to be jumpy, but also can't afford to be complacent. >> we are watching sky news, our sister network over in the united kingdom now because manchester airport is on full

alert. just a little while ago, at least one royal air force typhoon escorted in apparently a qatari airways plane. the pilot had radioed that there was a possible suspicious device on board and therefore, the escort plane was called. currently no takeoffs or landings at manchester airport. they are on full alert. there you can see the typhoon escorting the qatari jet liner into manchester. let's listen in some more to sky news to figure out what's going on over there. >> since you became aware of the plane being escorted in, you first said -- we're trying to get these pictures to you and 46 minutes ago seeing they're being escorted. he then also tweeted saying okay, i'm not worried and continued to tweet. he did say that emergency services were on the runway and as they were due to land, he seems completely unaware of what

was actually happening. he says that we've landed, but not entire leisure what is happening. his most recent update suggested that there are emergency services around the plane and that the royal police are outside the plane. so it does seem as we suggested, the plane has most certain leelanded and that there are certainly police and what looks like from this picture fire engines, which have surrounded the plane we think at the end of the runway, so away from the terminal buildings, and josh hartley, the passenger board suggesting there were armed police outside. he's also tweeted a picture of what looks like passengers walking around inside. so we're not entire leisure what's happening inside that plane, about it seems that there is a response from the different agencies on the runway. >> it does also -- if this is a genuine photo cam, it does seem to also confirm that flight has come from dohar.

>> indeed it does. before he took off. in fact, he's responding to people on social media to say that's where it came from. but it doesn't seem like there is necessarily panic on board. but it also doesn't seem like they were informed necessarily of what was happening. it seems that they spotted this typhoon jet outside the plane. he seemed to have turned on his phone and tweeted it. but from this most recent picture, passengers seem to be walking around inside. >> as you're talking to us, these are the shots that we have taken from josh hartley's twitter account. you can see that from the air bus window. you can see the typhoon there and the countryside surrounding manchester in the background. we also have some shots of inside the plane. i don't know if we'll be able to bring you those as well. we can also see the emergency services on the runway. we can see police and fire and a large number of fire engines.

we'll try and bring you those as soon as we can. let's bring in -- >> just to say he's just tweeted again. the passengers are still on the plane and there does seem to be several more police cars around the plane. though the plane itself doesn't seem terribly far away from other aircraft, certainly -- >> darren, what do we know about what's actually happening at the airport? >> as far as we know, the airport has in effect been effectively evacuated to a degree. we know the viewing platform, that glass platform where you see aircraft take off, people have been moved away because of what police say is they're trying to protect the security and they say people should not be alarmed. of course, the major focus has been on flights. if you look at departures and arrivals board, almost every

plane has been delayed. most planes are now being diverted to lees bradford airport because of this incident. we've now got moving footage of that plane about to land. the airport itself and as i said, we don't think it's been wholey evacuated, but in some sense of emergency planning situation that we always have in place for such situations. we know that police, services and armed police are on the airfield around the airplane at this time trying to deal with what they say is a comprehensive portion safety measure. what also seems clear is that the passengers on board have not left the plane itself. they seem to still be on board and to a degree, wholey unaware of what's happening apart from probably turning on their mobile phones and following what we're talk being and what other people on social media are talking about. >> we have seen some images from the passengers aboard these aircraft showing the emergency

services on the runway. i saw one of them from a young man saying that armed police were outside the cabin. >> yeah, indeed. we know that -- as i said, this man seems to have turned on his phone when he spotted these typhoons outside the plane and have said there are armed police outside the aircraft. certainly looking at another picture, he's just tweeted, we can see police vehicles on the runway next to the plane. the plane itself doesn't seem to be near a building from the angle that it's been shot at. but it seems near to other aircraft. it seems this tweet was sent five minutes ago. passengers themselves still seem to be on board. as i say, certainly on the approach in we're certain -- were unaware of what was happening. >> let's bring in chris yates who we often call on in

circumstances sufficient as this. of course, particularly with security. hello to you, chris. limited information at this stage. what are you making of what you've seen so far? >> limbed information indeed -- limbed informations a qatari je. the information coming in to me appears to be that the jet passed some information which seems to activate all of these measures going on at the moment. the jets guiding the aircraft in. the hold of the aircraft on the runway until such time as it can be cleared for an approach either to terminal building or literally left on the runway for a period of time. the emergency services now will be clearing off the aircraft,

well, valley clearing off the aircraft from passengers. it's likely that as that is taken up to the aircraft to bring people down and those people will be obviously interrogated, questioned very carefully as indeed that process goes on. >> stand by if you would. i want to bring in alister rosenshine, has friend of the program, a former pilot. hello to you. so talk us through the protocol. what happens in circumstances such as this, presumably one of the cabin crew will make the pilot aware that there is some incident and then what happens? >> hello, yes. the flight crew, either by cabin crew or air traffic control, depending on how the device, if there is such a thing, has been found or located on the aircraft, and the protocol would be to make air traffic control aware and to -- >> this has been extraordinary.

the pilot radioed. they found perhaps a device on board that qatari airways and this morning we've actually seen through social media pictures from inside the plane. we're going to be covering this story right now on "america's newsroom". bill: thank you, guys. breaking news. we are tracking it as best we can from new york. i'm bill hemmer. one royal air force typhoon jet escorting a flight back to plan chester or toward manchester airport northwest of london. the pilot radioed in there was a suspicious device on board. it seems to be a qatari airlines plane. there were reports it originated in doha. we can't confirm that. manchester is executing what has been practices and
