the show on our facebook page, that's #keeptalking. interesting what people have to say. >> i think you'd jump in. >> you would think so but lz disa -- lisa said she was falling down the stairs and no one helped her. >> hey everybody. it is thursday, august 7, 2014. it will be the first hurricane to slam hawaii in 25 years and right behind that another one. we're tracking both. >> president obama defending his use of executive action. >> the american people don't want me standing around and waiting for congress to get something done. >> really? is the president going to act alone on his own on immigration? the hint the president is giving, the latest one ahead. >> i believe a student may have to give up on her college dream.
3:01 am
the reason? her college won't let her carry a gun to protect herself against a predator. he's been stalking her for years. the creep even showed up on her doorstep and she can't protect herself. what would you do? we'll examine. we'll explain because mornings are better with friends. >> you're watching "fox & friends." that's a great way to begin your day. >> thank you very much, don king. look who's back. >> he's back! >> a lot of people said you teared up. you're doing it again. steve, you made a nice tie. >> this is called color coordination. >> you have a lot going on this morning. >> we start with breaking news. >> the body of harold greene is heading home to dover air force base as we learn new information about the insider attack in
3:02 am
afghanistan that killed him. >> joining us live from washington with more of the details, peter doocy partisan >> military officials are ready to receive the remains of major general harold greene whose flag draped casket will arrive this morning from afghanistan days after his 30-year career in the army was ended suddenly by an insider ambush at a military academy. greene leaves behind a wife of 25 years, retired army colonel sue myers and a son who graduated west point and is a first lieutenant in oklahoma. the greene family says he will be buried next week at arlington national cemetery not far from the falls church, virginia, home he left when he deployed. in new york where greene grew up, the governor andrew cuomo ordered nags to fly at half staff at state buildings today and
3:03 am
at the pentagon officials are piecing together the evidence. an afghan soldier returned from a patrol west of kabul and hid in the bathroom as others turned in their assault rifle. when the general walked into his view outside that bathroom window, he opened fire. there is still no word on what specifically may have motivated this latest green on blue attack. >> peter doocy with the latest. thank you very much. a heartbreaking story. it turns out the guy was in a group of a number of people talking. he stepped forward and he made a little joke. they were all laughing. next thing you know, the guy in the window shot. meanwhile, changing gears, for the first time in 20 years, the state of hawaii is about to get hit not with just one hurricane but maybe two back to back. boom boom. >> our maria molina has
3:04 am
been tracking the storm. >> good morning. so unusual to see two hurricanes across the eastern pacific ocean almost back to back like this and heading for the same area. hawaii. and we are expecting already some impact from iselle which is the first hurricane as we head into this afternoon. landfall expected by 8 p.m. from that storm with maximum sustained winds at 80 miles per hour. but iselle has been holding it together in terms of strength. it has maximum sustained wind at 90 miles per hour, stronger wind gusts and a lot of moisture with it. as much as a foot of rain is forecast. the concern out here is not just flash flooding, not just storm surge along coastal areas but mudslides and rock slides in the big island. it is still forecast to be a category 1 hurricane as it makes landfall at 8 p.m. tonight with maximum sustained winds at 80 miles per hour. then it continues to move westward. it has been upgraded in
3:05 am
terms of intensity. we think it can be a pretty significant tropical storm system as it moves through the islands. as we head into friday we look at the track of julio, max winds at 100 miles per hour. the track takes it farther off towards the north. we hope that trend does continue and it does stay away from the islands but i have to say that some of these computer models have been trending a little bit farther off towards the south and closer to hawaii. we'll keep a close eye on julio, first iselle. >> a lot of tourists thinking why did i plan my vacation at this time. >> they're not going to have a mass exodus. they're just going to ride the storms out. but those buildings, those hotels are built to withstand a hurricane. and they should be able to do it. >> let's talk about what the president did yesterday, showed up about an hour late for his press conference at which time he took questions about
3:06 am
everything you could think of, including one from jonathan carl. he said mr. president, you said your main reason was to stop people like president bush from issuing executive orders. are you essentially doing the same thing? that is when the president kind of rambled around abou not going to sit here and do nothing. so since the house and senate, since the house didn't pass anything after the senate passed it, i'm going to be forced to take action, especially, in his mind, republicans and democrats, he says agree on 80% of immigration reform. >> so let's listen to that sound bite. >> i'm bound by the constitution. i'm bound by separation of powers. there are some things we can't do. we're going to make sure every time we take one of these steps that we are working within the confines of my executive power, but i promise you, the american people don't want me just
3:07 am
standing around twiddling my thumbs and waiting for congress to get something done. >> do they want you to give amnesty to 500 million people in the country? that is what one of the plans on the desk would do. he's considering people who have family members here and people who have been law-abiding illegal immigrants. if you're here illegally you're not abiding by our laws. >> it has been suggested that what he could do with his executive action would be to issue a prioritization memo that would direct prosecutors, okay, let's just weed out the really bad people. anybody else, we'll let them stay. nonetheless, if the president of the united states does amnetize eight million illegals, that is going to use a big problem. ron fornier who used to be the washington bureau chief for the washington press, now a contributor to the fox news program, says if
3:08 am
the president does it, this is going to be bad. watch. >> the the fundamental reason he became president was he was promising there is no red state, no blue state. i'm going to bring the country together. he's been a polarizing president and this would be a nuclear bomb that would make this country more divided in a way most americans just don't want. >> i think in a way the house set themselves up for this by not having their own plan, even to say it's so different or so much alike the senate plan. why did the house come up so the president can't say they didn't do anything. i think they left themselves open for it. you talk about open, let the speculation begin because the president of the united states has now announced that he's going to be cutting his vacation off by about a week. >> there's going to be some vacation interruptus. he's supposed to go to martha's vineyard august 9
3:09 am
through 24 but is going to come back to the white house on august 17. and all the white house is telling the boston globe is the president will be attending some meetings. could that be the big unveiling of the executive action to amnetize these people? >> he could be doing fund-raisers in martha's vineyard if he's needed for that but that's probably off the table. he could be playing golf. what could it be? let the speculation begin. >> if you're going to do something major, why do it before labor day? we put that on facebook. why do you think the president is cutting off his vacation for a week? to get some paperwork done or do something major? >> there have been three insider attacks in afghanistan. the two-star general harold greene at that military academy is one.
3:10 am
>> the attacks are putting the spotlight on the president's exit strategy from afghanistan. are we giving extremists the sense that since we're leaving, they can come back? >> joining us is the chairman of the house intelligence committee, michigan congressman mike rodgers. good morning. thanks for being with us. >> you've been sitting quietly while we've been talking about this immigration. what do you think about the president's executive action? >> which one? there's been a host of them. here's an interesting thing. if he talks about that 80%, we can agree on 80%, why has he never led both the senate and the house to come to an agreement on immigration? he could have done that. he could have been at the white house. he could have invited those key players up often and frequent which most presidents would do if they really believe they want to get a bipartisan solution on immigration. but he hasn't done any of that. >> it is not your committee but do you agree the house should have come up with their own version? >> we did pass a bill that we think set the place where the house of
3:11 am
representatives, on immigration, border security, more money to make sure kids are treated humanely but returned to their home country. the reason we did that is every day we wait is some family has handed their child to a criminal organization and these kids are being sexually abused, recruited for gangs or pressed into gangs, introduced to drugs. unfortunately we're finding more and more dead bodies along the way. there's no compassion in letting this problem get out of control, and they continue to do it. so the narrative in those countries is if you can make it, you get in. free pass. we need to stop that if you're going to stop the deaths and abuse of these children. >> congressman, i want to get your thoughts on this insider attack that just happened. what a tragedy. we saw a surge in this in 2011 and 2012. now we're seeing this happening again. is this the terrorists saying you may be leaving but we're chasing you out. this isn't your decision, it is our decision. >> absolutely.
3:12 am
in fairness, there had been higher, they call it blue and green attacks. so people that we were training, our u.s. forces were training, killing u.s. service members in the past and it's been coming down. now you're seeing this spike. interestingly enough the intelligence showed there would be a spike. so when you announce the drawdown and draw down without understanding the facts on the ground, that means certain opportunities to collect intelligence just go away. when that happens, you expose those soldiers, sailors and marines to new risks that you wouldn't have before because you might not hear about it until it's too late or you might not hear about it at all. our intelligence folks are saying you're making our job a very difficult job much harder and more difficult because of the plan they announced. >> absolutely. we're going to play an exchange from tuesday in the briefing room where ed henry asked josh earnest, the new spokesperson for the president, you know, you're talkining about all the progress we're making.
3:13 am
how can you say we're making progress given the fact this two-star general was just assassinated. >> how can you say progress when an american general was killed? >> the progress i cited was the progress that was made, hard-won progress made by our men and women in uniform who have been serving in afghanistan for 12 years. what previously was a base of operations for core al qaeda no longer exist. >> we don't want to say the major general is more important than anyone else who lost their lives. but josh earnest is having a tough time defining, just like president bush did for awhile in afghanistan before the surge that we're actually being successful. >> some notion that core al qaeda doesn't exist, this is very, very concerning. that is a completely false narrative. what you have the things we know is there is this battle now which is dangerous for the united states between isis, the group that is in syria and iraq, and al qaeda.
3:14 am
isis stepped away from al qaeda. there is a competition to get their hands on the individuals who are coming from western european countries, the united states training, radicalizing. >> they're competing with eve other? >> yes. here is my fear, they both want to put points on the world to show the world they are the terrorist organization that should be listened to. we know this from chatter and other analytical products out there that say isis would like to have a western style attack somewhere consolidating its gains in syria and iraq and so does al qaeda. we have seen, i would argue, very dangerous forward deployments of those individuals not to western countries yet, who have the sole purpose -- and these are al qaeda affiliated groups -- for the sole purpose of conducting a western style attack, both the united states and western europe on the agenda. that's dangerous. to say everything is fine, nothing to see here, move along is wrong and i think
3:15 am
the narrative is wrong. i'm a little bit shocked they would even say that. we have seen al qaeda push back into some of the eastern provinces in afghanistan. >> that is that guy's job. he's got to spin it as best he can. congressman mike rogers thank you very much. exactly a quarter after the top of the hour. >> what else is making headlines. >> we have the congressman here so let's start with political news. today is a primary day in the state of tennessee. it is a rare day, it is a thursday. usually they are on tuesday. today republican lamar alexander facing six challengers. at the top of the list joe carr. if he can pull off an upset he would be the first to knock off an incumbent. right now alexander is leading in the polls. new details about the missing oregon mother who was found dead. police confirming that jennifer huston committed
3:16 am
suicide. her body was discovered in a remote area 25 miles from her home and next to her they found an empty box of sleeping pills and a note to her family. her family responding saying our hearts ache today. we don't know what led jennifer to this dark place and to this end. she leaves behind a husband and two young children. the c.d.c. issuing its highest alert in response to the ebola outbreak. a level one response. it means more staff and resources wille devoted to the problem. in the meantime the families of two infected americans say they are improving every day. remember the story about that man who was hospitalized in new york city with ebola-like symptoms? he has tested negative for that virus. it's the no drone zone or at least it is supposed to be but that didn't stop a tourist from crashing his drone into the famous hot springs at yellowstone national park. the drone is now lost somewhere in this big pool of blue.
3:17 am
it's called the grand prismatic silver spring. officials hope to get what moves left of that drone so it doesn't throw off the entire ecosystem. park rangers have something else to keep an eye on others than bears and buffalo. now they have e to look out for drones. >> we should send a drone to find a drone. it's happened before. >> thanks, heather. 17 minutes after the hour on this thursday morning. coming up, new details about the driver arrested for crashing a tour bus in times square. his license suspended 11 times. so how did he get behind the wheel in the first place? >> are your kids still living in the basement and you're still paying their bills? it's time to get them to start saving and start investing. and who better to show us than dave ramsey's daughter rachel cruz. you got kids, you got to listen to her.

people, here are the tips. first, eliminate debt and build an emergency fund. we get the debt thing. you don't want to pay month after month. but how do you build an emergency fund? >> once you have no debt, your income is freed up and your income is your largest wealth building tool. you can save up i would like three to six months of expenses saved in the bank and then start investing. you're doing this because if an emergency comes up -- you lose a job, something happens -- you have cash in the bank and don't have to borrow from your retirement. >> you've got a nest egg. invest at least 15 pk -- 15% of your income into your retirement fund. that is hard. >> this is key, 15% is what we found is the percentage that will get you to retirement and you'll have enough money to retire. if your company offers a match, take that first. then look into a roth ira because that is tax free. >> thi long term.
3:25 am
>> like what you were saying it is so difficult. even for me, i'm a millenial, and it is hard to see that money leave your paycheck when you can't spend it right away. but this is key. the earlier you start the better off you'll be. compound interest is your friend. >> when i was 22 years old, i had a job. i worked for iowa state university for awhile. and i had only been there for a little while. when i left, they said do you want cash out of the teachers pension? it was $5,000 or $6,000. i said yeah, i'll take that money. i want to buy something. i should have left it. what was i thinking? >> when you have grown children you don't want to be controlling, but to show them these are smart decisions to make. you learn from your mistakes. >> if i could have a do-over, that would be it. rachel cruz, thank you so much. say hi to your dad. coming up, an ivy league

it's funny. and we've got one from maria. right now we've got serious news to talk about. maria, a couplof hurricanes could hit hawaii? >> very rare. two hurricanes set on a similar path across the eastern pacific ocean. we have hurricane julio that is a category 2 storm with current winds of up to 100 miles per hour. then you have iselle, the one we're going to focus on first because it is set to bring tropical storm conditions as early as this afternoon and make landfall by tonight. these hurricane force winds in iselle do extend outward up to 45 miles from the center of the storm system. we're expecting as much as a foot of rain and some of the mountain peaks on the big island are as tall as 13,000 feet. rock slides and mudslides are going to be a concern. there's a look at the two tracks. you can see julio is forecast to move slightly farther towards the north. that would be much better news for the island of hawaii. but several days out still. we'll keep an eye on it. let's head back inside.

the army is finally questioning beau bergdahl about what led up to his disappearance and capture in afghanistan five full years ago. the interview was described as productive. what's next for bergdahl? joining us is judge andrew napolitano. they also went on to characterize this interview as not an interrogation. what are they getting at? >> this is not like a jail house interrogation where somebody is picked up off the street because a victim has identified them and it's not like a cross-examination on the witness stand where the defendant denies he did it and the prosecutor wants to catch him in a lie if he can. this is a conversation in which each side has a different goal.
3:54 am
the prosecutors, this is a major general, very unusual an officer of this high rank would be involved at this level. the prosecutors know their case. they've interviewed everybody else already. they've interviewed his fellow soldiers. they've interviewed his commanders. they've interviewed any civilian eyewitnesses they can fd and who will talk to them. they want to know if they can get him to say something to fill in ha they know. defense has the opposite goal. they want him to speak so he appears human and normal and rational or even irrational, but not threatening and not criminal. remember, they can charge him with nothing or charge him with treason and about five different charges in between. >> they're going to try to find out, did he leave on his own or desert? did he just walk off? >> was he having a bad day and kidnapped or did he plan and plot this? did he sell military information to the enemy is it did he try to harm the united states? that's what they have to find out. >> what's at stake, jail time?
3:55 am
not his back pay? >> they have to decide whether or not to court-martial him. if they don't, his life goes on to the extent that it will ever be normal again. they could charge him with everything from failure to obey orders, very low level, a with, ol, very low level, desertion, very serious, desertion where another human died, death penalty. treason, death penalty. it's a huge array from six months in jail t execution. >> and all we're going to get is the verdict. we're not going to get the play by play, right? >> we will only get the play by play. great question. if there is a trial. if there is no charge or if he pleads, we'll never know the details. >> we're finding out from this if there will be a trial? >> we'll find out within 60 days if they're going to charge him. >> judge, we'll see new six minutes for something extremely important. coming up, is mitt romney ready for another run for the white house? we'll examine that, but not in too much detail.

good morning. today is thursday, the 7th of august, 2014. i'm anna kooiman in for elisabeth. it will be the first hurricane to slam hawaii in 20 years. right behind it, another monster storm. the story that is breaking records on our facebook page. hundreds of complete strangers coming together to save a man stuck in a gap. we will read your comments because they are still pouring in. we've seen what can happen when a gun is left out when kids are alone playing. and do you not lock it up because you need it an emergency? we'll show you why that is wrong, coming up onthursday edi&

4:02 am
its way from afghanistan to arlington national cemetery where the green family says a funeral will be held next week. arlington national cemetery actually isn't too far from the falls church, virginia home he left when he deployed, a home he shared with his wife. they also is a son who graduated west point and is now a first lieutenant based in fort still in oklahoma. before his 30 year army career got started, green lived in upstate new york and out of respect to the highest ranking official to die in combat since the vietnam war, new york governor andrew cuomo has ordered all flags at state buildings to half-staff today. at the pentagon, evidence is still being pieced together to figure out how an afghan soldier pulled off this daring attack. the latest information provided by an afghan military official that when a group of afghan soldiers returned from a patrol west of kabul, they all lined up to turn in their nato issue
4:03 am
assault rifles, except for one in his early 20s who snuck away with a gun and hid in a bathroom until a group which included major general green walked into view. that soldier then started firing until a body guard spotted him and shot back at that window where the attack was carried out, killing the attacker. back to you in new york. >> thank you very much. that was one of the problems because they couldn't figure out where the shots were coming from until one of the eagle eyed guys says it's coming from there and took care of him. >> a lot of people got shot before he was ultimately taken out. >> 15. meanwhile, look at this brand-new picture from nasa. they've got satellite to take pictures of things like that. you can clearly see two hurricanes and screen left is hawaii. will it take dead aim on hawaii for the first time in 22 years? maria molina says probably. >> yeah, that's right. as early as this evening already. so we have two hurricanes now. we have one named julio.
4:04 am
that was a category 2 storm with maximum sustained winds at 100 miles per hour. then we have iselle. that's the one we're concerned about in terms of landfall coming up tonight. it's currently a category 1 storm, maximum sustained winds at 90 miles per hour. they can see tropical storm conditions in the big island as early as this afternoon. thatill include the city of hilo and we expect storm surge, very heavy rain, as much as a foot of rain. we have tall mountains here. mud slides and rock slides will be a concern. we're talking 13,000-foot high peaks across the big island from some of the mountains. otherwise the storm system will be quickly to the west northwest at 18 miles per hour. here is a look at the forecast track. this evening, and then over the next several days, continues to move westward and continuing that gradual weakening trend into a tropical storm. here is a look at both of the tracks because julio is the next concern as we head into this
4:05 am
weekend. right now it looks like that storm should stay north of the island. we could still be looking at impacts from the storm from some of the outer bands. we'll keep track of t. let's head back inside. >> thank you very much. yesterday the president of the united states had a news conference in conjunction with his u.s.-africa summit of all the leaders in washington, d.c. and he was asked directly at the conclusion of this prepared statement whether or not he was going to use executive action, which he's so good at, to amnetize millions of illegals but he made it clear he's got to do something. >> i'm bound by the constitution. i'm bound by separation of powers. there are some things we can't do. we're going to make sure that every time we take one of these steps that we are working within the confines of my executive power. but i promise the american people don't want me just standing around televisionling my thumbs and waiting for
4:06 am
congress to get something done. >> he's laying the ground work, as we bring back andrew napolitano, to take some action. he's familiar with the constitution. >> he's familiar with evading and avoiding the constitution. i'll tell what you the american people want. them him to do his job and enforce the laws. he took an oath faithfully to enforce the laws, which means all the laws, whether he agrees with them or not. by not enforcing the immigration laws that are on the books, that congress enacted, some of which he signed, thatt tell illegals you have to go, by not enforcing them and by telling them what they can do in order to stay, that's the opposite of enforcing the law. that's telling people how to break it and how to get away with it. apparently he's now, from the clip we ran, threatening to do the same thing again. >> and judge, the president basically saying congress isn't doing anything, so i have to do
4:07 am
something. watch watch post says -- "washington post" says you should not rip up the constitution and think what would happen if roles were reversed. there was a republican president, these same democrats and immigration rights groups that are pushing to you do this, they would be very upset if he did something with voting laws. >> the "washington post" makes a great point. when ronald reagan was confronted with a democratic congress that he couldn't bend to his will, what did he do? he didn't write executive orders, he didn't try and go around the constitution. he didn't tell people how to break the law. he went over their head to the american people. he used the bully pulpit and all of a sudden, the phones started to ring and letters came in and telegrams came in and members of congress changed their minds. that's what the president can lawfully do. but for him to tell people how to break the law, for him to sign executive orders that stretch the limits of presidential authority, for him to trample in an area dedicated under the constitution for the congress, for him to refuse to do what he's sworn to do is
4:08 am
wrong and unconstitutional. >> absolutely. he knows that the congress is already suing him. he figures by the time they get around to adjudicating this, i'll be long gone. one of the panelists on "special report," as you are, he was on last night and said if the president amnetizes millions, it wiwill be bad. watch this. >> the fundamental reason he became president was he was promising there is no red state, no blue state. i'm going to bring the countryy together. he's been a polarizing president and this would be a nuclear bomb that would blow open that makes this country even more divided in a way that most americans just don't want. >> judge, he's right. >> he's exactly right. the last time we had amnesty, it was under reagan, but done by the congress. it was done with a consensus of the american people. if the president tries to do that alone, if he signs a piece of paper saying to these 11.7 million illegals all is forgiven, you're legal, you can become american citizens, then ran is correct. it will be a political tidal wave that will engulf the
4:09 am
president and seriously divide the nation. >> but there are a lot of democrats will be happy about this. a lot of hispanic groups will be thrilled by this. >> are the democrats running for reelection will not be happy and that's all of the house and one third of the senate. they already don't want the president to campaign with them. >> do you think there is a connection between this, this particular action, and then how the white house has been talking about, well, you know, the republicans are going to impeach him. you have spoken on this particular couch that you would think that it would be an impeachable offense, although republicans would be crazy to do that. but do you think they were priming the pump for this? >> yes. i think the president's pollsters have told him that when people talk about impeachment, it helps him. when i talk about impeachment, i'm talking about impeachment as a person who studies the constitution. has he committed impeachable offenses? he clearly has. do the republicans want to go through the political trauma of impeachment? that's a political judgment they have to make and they apparently
4:10 am
decided not to. >> how many votes do you need for that? >> a majority in the house and two-thirds in the senate. harry reid would try and stop this from coming to a vote, as he does with everything else that he doesn't like the outcome. >> they would never get those votes in the senate. >> unlikely. >> with the majority democrats, not today. >> right. >> judge napolitano, thank you very much. >> pleasure. ten minutes after the hour. now some of your responses to what we discussed. one woman writes hey, i think it's a head fake to make the republicans think he's coming back to issue an amnesty executive order. this way he'll get the republicans to talk about impeachment. less talk, republicans, more action is the advice. and help the dems in november. >> this from dave on facebook. he says if he had any leadership abilities at all, he wouldn't be on vacation. that goes for congress as well. >> we got sally sue tweeting at us, she tweets, maybe he is trying to set an example for members of the house and senate. maybe.
4:11 am
>> so i do think -- we'll got your response. also the question we have on facebook is why do you think the president is cutting off his vacation for a week? why is he coming back early? >> he's going to come back for two days and then go back. something is up. >> i didn't know about that. something is up. >> you got to watch this show more often. >> heather nauert has more news. >> taking it to the united states. a fox news alert. edward snowden, remember him, the nsa leaker? he can hide in russia for three more years. he just got the okay from the russian government to stay in that country even longer. he's already been there more than a year. russia has been protecting him from u.s. federal prosecutors who want to try him for leaking information about those classified nsa programs. also new details coming in about the case of the missing oregon mother who was found
4:12 am
dead. police now confirming that she committed suicide. her body was discovered in a remote area about 25 miles from her house. next to her was an empty box of sleeping pills and a note to her family. her family now releasing this statement saying, quote, our hearts ache today. we don't know what led jennifer to this dark place and perhaps never will understand this. she leaves behind two children and a husband. the cdc issuing its highest alert in response to the deadly ebola outbreak. a level one response and means more staff and resources will be devoted to that problem. in the meantime, two of the families of the infected americans say they are improving every single day. do you remember at story we brought you earlier this week about the guy who was hospitalized in new york with ebola-like symptoms? he has tested negative for that virus. let's talk politics. voters head to the polls for a rare thursday primary in tennessee. two-term republican senator
4:13 am
lamar alexander is facing six challengers. at the top of the list is the tea party-backed candidate, joe carr. if carr can pull off an upset, he would be the first challenger to knock off an incumbent senator in this year's mid terms. those are your headlines. >> thank you. it is a social media explosion like nothing we've ever seen. a group of strangers jumping into action to save a man stuck in the gap. heather childers has the amazing video and reaction on line. good morning. >> good morning. how about this good news story for a change? this footage now going viral. a man slips between a trai and the platform right there, you see him in the doorway there. he was boarding in australia. passengers quickly jump into action to help push the train out of the way. this is amazing. we have new images also going viral showing a close-up of that man, thanks to his fellow commuters, he was freed. a spokesman for the railways
4:14 am
says he's amazed by this response. >> it's really heart warming to find an incident where everyone pitched in. there is 50, 60 people, all pitch in, men, women, children, push the train back to help someone who is in trouble. >> not surprisingly, our viewers agreed. david wrote on facebook, who wouldn't help someone in peril? people need to be compassionate. if it was me, i would want people to help. ed says amazing what people can accomplish working together. and some people have been saying that you would never see this happen in america, though. mike says, to all you that say this would not happen in the u.s., apparently you've been looking in the wrong places. i see people helping people every day. thanks to everyone who responded. i definitely think that would happen here in the usa. i think everybody would get together and help that guy out. what do you think? >> what happened to him? is he okay? >> he's fine, because he got stuck in that gap between the train and the platform and
4:15 am
somebody said, we go to get him out. how do we do it? and they started pushing on the side like that. yesterday when we ran this and we put it on our facebook and we never had more hits on any particular item than this particular one. yesterday peter johnson, jr. said that here in new york city what they do is they have these air bags that they put under the side of a train and if they need to, they can actually inflate it and it does that. you know what, that takes time. whereas you just holler at everybody and say, come on, let's push this thing over to the side and free this guy. that doesn't take too long. as you can see right there, it had dramatic and profound impact on that guy. >> now we know what to do. it's tried and true. i'm shocked this doesn't happen more often with us on our cell phones all the time. you're looking down, not paying attention, people get hit by cab. >> i'm on a train every day. but the way they do it, nonstop announcer, look out for the gap, watch your step.

he was slapped with a fee for his sale of his ownership stake in the sundance channel in 2005 and he's cheering about it. frank? >> first me. chances are, if you're a parent, you've heard some strange headlines lately, like the south carolina mom arrested and charged with unlawful conduct toward a child after she left her nine-year-old daughter play in a park while she was working in a nearby mcdonald's. or this florida mother who was arrested for neglecting her 7-year-old son after letting him walk to the park alone, arrested because she let her son walk to the park. makes you wonder, is the government getting in the way of good old-fashioned parenting? joining us now is frank luntz, along with a panel of parents who frank have opinions have these two cases. >> let's start it off with a simple question. how many of you believe that it is more difficult to raise a
4:22 am
child today than it was when you were raised? raise your hands if you think it's more difficult. it's unanimous here. tell me why is it more difficult? >> early when i was growing up, you have neighbors and family around to help you to watch your kids. if you saw a kid at the store, not to worry about it. now you can't do it. there are too many pedophiles out. >> the neighbors, the friends, the relatives, everyone raised a child together? >> like a village. >> i've heard that. hillary clinton said that once. is it more difficult no >> yeah. i think everybody tries to be in their own world, mind their own business, avoid conflict. they don't want to interfere in each other's lives. >> yes? >> it's hard to know and track where your kids are. things cost money, daycare costs money, baby-sitters cost money. harder, yes. protection, the internet is out, pedophiles are out. there is less -- my constituent here said, there is less people
4:23 am
that are focused on your family. it's hard to find the help, support system. >> who is your support system now? >> social media is very tough. that didn't exist when i was a child and no matter how you try and limit what they're exposed to and what they see at certain ages, i mean, a child can pretty much get on the internet and see all kinds of things that we would only find in the back of our dad's pickups. >> okay. we won't ask you about your father. anything else you want to tell about 2 million people right now? by the way, everyone should know he's a teacher. that's great. what's the solution to this? right now the government has said that these moms should not have let their children either walk to the park alone at the age of seven or leave them alone at the age of nine for an entire day. is that the proper approach of government? ed? >> i don't think it's the government's place to say.
4:24 am
however, i think the bigger problem is that as families and even neighborhoods have kind of broken down, we're also separate from each other. i'm lucky, i have a great family support system. however the neighborhood is totally changed. everybody used to look out. you couldn't do down the block without mr. smith seeing what you were doing and getting back to your parents. now everybody is separate. >> i agree with that. there used to be a more of a support system in place. families were together. families lived closer together. you had aunts and uncles and cousins and relatives. now it's much harder for people. they're much more independent. >> i keep hearing the same thing from all of you. what about your responsibility as a parent? you had these children. they're yours. isn't it your responsibility to raise your children correctly? not to let them experience
4:25 am
things on the web, not to let them go to places they shouldn't be, not to be with people they shouldn't be. isn't that your responsibility? >> i absolutely agree that it's the parent's responsibility. i think a lot of things these days are being left up to the government and to the schools and to teachers to decide and parents aren't being as involved with their children's upbringing. there is a lot of gray areas when all these stories, the mcdonald's lady, the lady in florida, what is the mindset of the child? >> what is the answer? >> the answer is good parenting. >> should a 7-year-old be able to walk to the park? >> it's not up to me. i have a 7-year-old. >> answer the question. >> no, i would not. >> how many of you would let your child walk to the park at seven years of age? >> maybe not alone. >> so none of you. so that tells me that this thing works. that tells me that actually what the government did, at least to our parents is correct. my fear is that they're going to blame everybody else and they're not going to take
4:26 am
responsibility. you can get a chance to see what they have to say in the days to come ahead. but what is critically important is that parents have a responsibility for their children and they can not leave that to somebody else, particularly the government. >> all right. frank luntz and the panel, excellent observations this morning. thank you very much. all of our panels done live this morning. she may look innocent, but this woman just managed to get around airport security and on to an airplane and what's even worse, it's not the first time. this morning she's out of jail and she's speaking out. then a restaurant catching heat for serving up a discount for customers who say grace. big update on this story that may leave a bad taste in your mouth ♪

>> and make that face. >> look at that beautiful face, yes. my mom also tells this charming story about how i loved to pull out my hair. and you can see it right there. that's probably a dr. keith segment. >> wow. good job. >> that's the way we roll. >> so they went hunting, then dragged the pheasant, put it in front of you and take a picture? >> you would clean the bird, take the feathers off and that was always a lot of fun pour me. i like the gizzards. >> who didn't? >> parents do that with the leaves in the fall. >> what are those? >> the gizzards. >> it helps digest. it grinds stuff up. >> for the bird? >> yeah. >> but it won't help you. now that the bird is dead, you can't use it. >> peace owl, the only thing that has gizzards. you're 50 something and you just heard about a gizzard? >> i just thought it was a slang term for lizard.

two hurricanes in the pacific heading towards hawaii. and one of them forecast to make landfall as early as this evening as a category 1 hurricane. let's take a look at those warnings because we do have hurricane warnings in effect for the big island of hawaii and tropical storm warnings farther off toward the north and towards the west. there is that forecast cone. you can see that, a little weakening is forecast because iselle has maximum sustained winds aour. a little weaker as it makes landfall at 80 miles per hour. then the second hurricane, julio, is a category 2 forecast to move farther off toward the north from hawaii and comparison to iselle. keep that storm away from hawaii. let's head back inside. >> all right. thank you very much for putting up with the elements here. 22 minutes before the top of the hour. we got lurid photos that appear to show jerry jones, 71 years old, in some compromising positions with two separate women. they're said to be part of an

zwick, who was mitt romney's finance chairman has been in touch with these big, big bundlers all across the country saying would you back mitt again if he ran? they're very interested. >> i want to draw attention to this poll because while democrats are running from the hills from obama essentially, they don't want to be seen with him, associated with him, fundraising with him, just the opposite is happening with mitt romney and republicans. so who would win between president obama and mitt romney if the election was today? 44% would vote for obama. 53% for romney. is this what your sources are saying, too? is there any chance that romney is actually going to do this, 'cause he's saying the third time is not the charm, i'm not interested? >> i think he's interested? >> you do? >> i think he's giving out some signal signals. he's talking about the fact that he brought up vladimimir putin d the russians when barak obama was saying we're going to make friends. we're going to reset the russian relationship and mitt romney

this week we've seen what can happen when a gun is left out araround kids and the bigget reason people don't lock up their guns is, quote, what if i need it in an emergency? what do you do with these two things. a man who says that is no excuse is here to prove it. joining us is professional firearms trainer and owner of ice training, rob. welcome. >> thank you. >> it's so typical. in the bedroom, this is our image of having a gun to protect ourselves. we hear something downstairs. we know we have a gun. how quickly, get to it and use it if we have to? first off, you have three things to show us. three scenarios. >> one is kind of the typical, put it in a plastic box under the bed, something like that, unsecured from unauthorized access. maybe hidden at best. some people may carry a gun inside their home, moving around during the day, that makes sense. in the middle of the night, probably not wearing a gun. you'll get to it. >> let's say you're in bed. put up the clock right now. lay down. you hear something, you want to get to that gun. let's start the clock.
4:53 am
>> we're going to come down here. we're going to come into the plastic box, get it situated, find the gun and ammunition, be ready to go. then move to the phone. call 911. we don't want to use this if we don't have to. it's all about being prepared and then getting the help on e way. >> do you like that scenario? do you recommend that? >> if your home is secure, no kids, that may be the best option. if you have kids in the house, this plastic box won't keep the kid away. >> the other one is let's put the gun in a self so i make sure kids don't get to it. you're back in bed. >> we're going back in bed. >> you hear something downstairs. >> something is downstairs. we come here, we put in our code. we get the gun out, again, load it, ready to go. and back on the phone. >> we got six, seven seconds. what's the problem with that scenario? >> none at all. this is part of responsible gun ownership, preventing unauthorized access. that may blue kids in the home
4:54 am
or others. >> people say, i don't want to lock up my gun because what's the sense of having a gun? i got to do four or five things to get to it and i might not have that kind of time? >> that's the problem, you don't want to run to one side of the house and get the key and run to the other side and get the ammunition. you want to have a quick access safe which allows you to stage a firearm that you need. >> the other thing is, the gun was not loaded. >> this doesn't have to be loaded. some people will choose to leave it loaded. we can leave it unloaded and even if the demo, we insert the magazine, get ready to go, ready to go. we got a flashlight here, phone, we can get on the phone with the police. hopefully the family is behind us and we never have to use this. >> we showed the first one, i'm uneasy by the fact that it's unsecure, under the bed. saw some weakness there. is there weakness here? >> any safe can be defeated. this is going to take a lot more time and effort, a lot more energy. one of the things i tell parents, if you're worried about kids breaking into the safe, you have bigger issues. >> you have a third option.
4:55 am
this is a -- what do you call this? >> biometric safe. it's set up to read a fingerprint. we've programmed it. this one will open and deploy the gun ready for you to grab. this will be even faster. >> where do i keep it? >> this would be mounted on the side of this dresser or the bed, swipe your finger down, there you go. >> and that's it. by the way, these guns are not real. they're not loaded. but this is what you need to do. if you want to protect yourself responsibly, this may be your best option. thanks so much for bringing down all this stuff, recreating a bedroom scene. thanks to court furniture providing it and for your insight. >>esponsible gun ownership. >> thanks. >> thank you. meanwhile, coming up in the final hour, brand-new evidence the president will use executive action on immigration. the big clue that was revealed while you were sleeping 'cause we weren't. then monkey see, monkey do. the selfy that's sparking the strangest legal case of all time. ♪

was the one killed in korea at that time. take a look at this brand-new picture from outer space, from nasa. well, yep. those are two hurricanes. you know what? they're spinning toward hawaii. it's the first time in 22 years hawaii has had a direct hit and that could happen later today. >> our meteorologist, maria molina, been tracking the storm and joins us from the streets of new york. good morning, what can you tell us? >> good morning. not only is it very rare to have one hurricane heading towards hawaii, but you're talking about two hurricanes that are across the pacific ocean and heading in that general direction. iselle and julio. julio is a category 2 hurricane that. one could move farther off towards the north. that would be great news. we want to keep that storm away from hawaii. but iselle is a concern as we head into this afternoon and evening across hawaii. we do expect to see impact like as much as a foot of rain, flash flooding, mud slides, possible rock slides as well, a storm
5:05 am
surge and also very strong winds. the national hurricane center did update the strength of iselle. it has weakened a little bit. it had maximum sustained winds at 90 miles per hour. now at 85 miles per hour. but that's maximum sustained. what that means is that you're looking at higher gusts than that. we could see gusts over 90 miles per hour across the big island of hawaii. keep in mind also that terrain across that big island, we have mountain tops as high as 13,000 feet. that's why mud slides and rock slides are also a concern. right now that storm moving quickly at 18 miles per hour. here is a look at the forecast cone. 8:00 p.m. hawaiian time, 80 miles per hour storm, making landfall right over the island. let's head back inside. >> maria molina on the streets of new york city where somebody is backing up. thank you very much. yesterday during the president's press conference as we switch down to our domestic agenda, one of the questions president obama got was from jonathon karl who said didn't you say when you became president, one of the main
5:06 am
things you're going to do is restore the balance of power and stop people like -- stop the president, then george bush f issuing executive orders and therefore ignoring congress? how did that work out and why do you keep on doing it and are you preparing to do something major when it comes to the executive action when it comes to immigration? here is the president's answer. >> i'm bound by the constitution. i'm bound by separation of powers. there is some things we can't do. we're going to make sure that every time we take one of these steps that we are working within the confines of my executive power, but i promise you, the american people don't want me just standing around twiddling my thumbs and waiting for congress to get something done. >> wait a minute. congress passes the laws and the president signs them. he can't make up laws, although as we've seen in the past, he can be very selective about how he enforces them. >> but he's also said in the past this is a nation of laws
5:07 am
and i need to abide by them and this is why congress needs to act. now that congress isn't acting, he's saying they're on vacation and this is something that needs to get done. he's been experiencing quite a bit of pressure from somee democrats and from some immigrants' rights groups to take this action. but a lot of folks are saying, mr. president, the constitution does not allow to you do this. >> ron fornay is a columnist. he used to be the a.p. bureau chief in washington, d.c he's part of the "special report" panel these days. he was on last night with bret baier and he was talking about if the president of the united states does what it looks like he's going to do, and he's going to amnetize, 5, 6 million illegals, that's such a giant leap, it would be seismic. listen. >> the fundamental reason he became president was he was promising there is no red state, no blue state. i'm going to bring the country together. he's been a polarizing president and this would be a nuclear bomb that would blow open and make
5:08 am
this country even more divided in a way that most americans just don't want. >> you think about all the democrats that are up for reelection, though, that as we've been talking about all morning long, don't want to be associated with the president because his approval ratings are so low. is the senate going to go to the republicans instead of the democrats and how upset is that going to make them? wh is that going to mean for the last couple years of the presidency and the president's legacy? >> the next few months it's all about keeping the president. >> we know the president of the united states is going to go out on his two-week vacation, but it's curious because according to the boston globe, right in the middle of his vacation on the sunday, august 17, he's going to come back to the white house for two days for what are only being described as meetings. some have suggested, you know, maybe that meeting is when he announces that he's going to amnetize all these people. we don't know. he's going to just come back, do
5:09 am
something, and go back on vacation. >> all right. one thing we haven't heard the president talk about repeatedly is crime when it comes to illegal immigration. so here is an example. these two men recently charged in the murder of an off-duty border patrol agent. they've been deported several times in the past and they keep coming back. >> prosecutors say that's what co border agent heat wave yea vega -- havier vega his life. with such serious crimes being committed, should the white house really be looking to lower the bar? fox news legal analyst peter johnson, jr. has been thinking about that this morning. >> good morning. people are wondering where is this country going? three quarters of americans are saying we're going in the wrong direction. we know under the constitution the president is supposed to faithfully discharge the laws in this country. so tell that to the family of vavier vega, junior, allegedly killed by these two mutts, deported and arrested repeatedly in this country.
5:10 am
yesterday the president talks about prosecutial discretion going forward. that's another word for not enforcing the law, brian kilmeade. so the president says, i'm not going to enforce the law. am i going to amnetize people? am i going to grant 6 million people work authorizations without the congress? am gig to use prosecutial discretion to invalidate, to negate the laws as they stand? prosecutial discretion is supposed to be used to enforce the laws. not to change policy. so what americans are saying, our borders are being invaded, people are being killed and we see the rates of recidivism of people of illegal immigrants who commit crimes and crimes after they're released, what the heck is going on? >> the president, if he does use executive order, which is rumored he's about to, those
5:11 am
criminals he wants out, it's the people who haven't committed crimes. >> they didn't get rid of these two guys. >> the norm now is in the united states of america that you can come here illegally and we're not going to bother you unless you've committed a crime. now, one of these guys was arrested and jailed repeatedly.. now, why is he still in this country? why isn't there mandatory minimum sentence that if you come across this border, you're going to be canned for two, three, or four years or there are going to be punitive actions against mexico? the president says i'm going to engage in prosecutial discretion. that's a fancy word for bs. that's nonsense. that means i'm not going to enforce the law. i'm going to create a new norm for immigration and who should be in this country that's against the will based on american polls, of the people. >> you know what, peter? those two guys who were repeatedly arrested, they fit
5:12 am
the stats about illegals and crime. one in six illegal immigrants is rearrested on criminal charges within three years of their release, from 08 to 11, over 7,000 of those rearrested racked up a total of 16,226 crimes. that's a good reason to deport them. >> and under the u.s. code, you get a free pass for the first time. maybe you go to jail thereafter. but this is tangible evidence of the system gone wrong and gone wild. so when the president says i'm going to engage in prosecutial discretion under my executive powers, i'm going to prosecute fewer people, i'm going to deport fewer people, i'm going to engage in sanctions against fewer people, then is that consistent with what we're seeing, with what we're hearing or feeling, what we're feeling in terms of the economy, in terms of jobs lost, in terms of crime that the vega family,
5:13 am
three children have lost a father. >> and he was shot in front of those children. >> in front of the children and his father exchanged fire with these bad guys, according to federal officials. this man is dead. should he be dead today? and his death and prosecutial discretion, do they go together going forward in america? that's the question we ask today. >> absolutely. important stuff to think about. >> huge question. >> other stories making headlines, heather nauert is here with us. good morning. >> good morning. this news out of russia and vladimir putin is fooling the united states once again. edward snowden, we understand now, can now hide in russia for three more years. the he just got the okay from the russian government to stay longer in that country through 2017. for more than a year now, has been protecting snowden from u.s. federal prosecutors who want to arrest him and then try him for leaking classified information about the nsa

a pop quiz. who has been talking more about impeachment of the president of the united states? republicans or democrats? according to a new report in the hill, the newspaper says the answer is democrats. they've mentioned impeoplement of their own president 20 more times than republicans. joining us to weigh in on that fact, karl rove, former senior advisor to president george w. bush, fox news contributor. does that surprise you or did you know that already? >> well, look, every time you think these people have hit the bottom, they go even lower. think about this. i wrote about this in a column on the 31st of july. on the 24th of july, michelle obama raises the issue. the next morning the white house communications director raises the issue, says boehner has opened the door to this. that day the democratic national committee woman in a nonpartisan lunch in the urban league in ohio says the republicans are going to do it. the white house press secretary calls john boehner a liar 'cause boehner said this is off the table and he said boehner is lying. on sunday, pelosi jumps in. on tuesday, the democratic chairman of the congressional campaign committee says impeach,
5:53 am
impeach, impeach. and says not only that, but we're raising a lot of money off of this. this is cynical, to threaten a constitutional crisis in order to fatten your wallets and prepare yourself for the fall elections is a pretty dismal technique. >> republicanbring it up first and a lot of people think suing is impeachment light, so they started that whole conversation. i get democrats -- >> but boehner dismissed this as a scam, started by democrats in the white house. who are the 22 democrats in the senate who are going to vote for impeachment? that's what's required today. >> that's very true. let's move on to the president's polls. "wall street journal" and nbc collaborated on a poll. some disturbing results for democrats. the president's approval rating, 40% approve. 54 don't. as they move through this, we find out is the nation heading in the right direction? 71% say it's on the wrong track. 22% say it's not. finally, the president's hamming of foreign policy, which i think most would agree has b been a disaster. only 36% approve.
5:54 am
in some of these polls, it might be a little different. do they blame republican force the fact that the country is in the wrong direction, because the president certainly does. >> well, they don't. the voters don't. they're not particularly high on the republicans. they're not particularly high on the democrats. but the president is the guy in charge and he's the person that they hold responsible for it. 40% approval is matched in the gallop tracking track which has them at 41. what's interesting, the president's rating on foreign policy, the economy are at or near his all-time low. so is it on immigration where his approval rating is 38%. the president is in dismal shape. to the degree you can tie a democrat candidate to president obama as you can with all of these incumbent democratic senators who religiously voted down the party line for him, they're in t trouble >> finally, the senate. most people focused on that. a lot of people saying 80% chance of republicans get it. but you say republicans should
5:55 am
not be celebrating in the end zone right now. there's a lot of game to play, including this so-called invisible ground game the democrats have. >> yeah. exactly. the polls look good. the president's in bad shape. these democrats are below 50% with republican candidates who are not as well-known. but we got 89 days to go and that's lot of time in politics and the democrats have a ground game. they have a financial advantage. at the end of june they had a $22 million cash on hand advantage. if you look at the 14 most competitive democratic seats and look at the democrat money versus republican money. we got a long way to go and republicans will need to bring their a game every single day. >> it's going to be an exciting august through the fall. thanks so much. always great to have you on. >> thank you. good to be on. coming up straight ahead, you're one for the road is all about throwback thursday. this picture of heather nauert with a dead bird. she pulls out her own hair and she's planning to be a pirate.
