he's an american who fought for america and badly in need of american help. >> will the white house finally step up to save him? we'll have the latest. a texas principal fired for asking her students to speak english. in texas. should chef lost her job? " "fox & friends" begins right now. and good saturday morning, everyone, thank you for waking up with "fox & friends" on this beautiful saturday morning. 6:01 on the east coast. >> we are going to have fun today, but what a big news today. a fox news alert. the u.s. fires on two new isis targets in iraq. and drops a second round of aid to stranded refugees. we have the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, guys. and anna, you said earlier, for the first time in years, u.s.

military planes and drones struck three waves in two rounds of attacks. and we show a specific effort to stop isis going forward in irbil. a representative and the kurkish regional government says they are gaining momentum, taking control of the mosul dam. there are unanswered calls for the u.s. to help. >> to this point we have not received any u.s. military equipment. today isis has the american-made equipment in their hands, very sophisticated, technical and accurate. >> reporter: meanwhile, cargo planes are dropping humanitarian aid to the tens of thousands seeking safety without food or water. 60 of the 72 crates dropped with life-saving supplies have made

it to those in need. we heard from white house press secretary josh ernest yesterday. there's no end to the campaign, but no american troops will be in combat. back to you guys. >> thanks a lot, elizabeth. >> and some of those things she was talking about. all that is going to help those people trapped in the kurdish regions, 70-some palettes, 11 of them they were able to grab, americans dropping palettes, isis grabs them. >> 10, 11 of them in isis's hands. and is this enough, and your we acting now and should we have not be just dropping aid, but should we be dropping weapons? right? the kurds in particular, they are tough fighters, but have antiquated weapons. and isis now driving american tanks and using our very sophisticated weaponry, how are they going to fight them?

>> charles krauthammer was on the kelly file last night, wondering how violent the president needs to get. he mentions this. >> these are pinprick strikes. this is a 600-mile front. isis is an army on the move, armed with strong american weapons captured in mosul. this can not be done, if you're going to have an air campaign, you are not going to hit an artillery piece there and a truck over there. that's preposterous. do it seriously or not at all. >> it would be nice to find where they came from. some from libya, the obama administration had a hand in killing the leader of that country. it's been in chaos ever since. that's part of the problem. but two steps back, president obama who campaigned against the war in iraq has just restarted a war in iraq for good or ill. here's what's missing from this

picture. a clear statement of why and how this is in america's vital interest. it may not be, but the president needs to articulate how. and if it is in our vital interest, then charles is exactly right. this is inadequate. you can't go halfway. that's the lesson of the last 50 years, can't go halfway. >> on wednesday night, it was missing, the long-term strate a heart strings and saying these 40, 50,000 religious midnights are trapped. either faced with being killed or to die of hunger or thirst or heat exhaustion on the top of the mountain. >> you know why it was missing? such a good point, because they don't have a clue. they haven't thought this through. trying to take the easy way out. use drones at no cost to america. arm this or that group.

>> and look how danger that is. just a year ago, they were isolated, small factions that seemed to be kind of acting on their own interests, and look at them now. they're so well-coordinated, and they're growing by the day. capturing women, selling them into sex trade. lord knows what they're doing with them. and beheading people. putting the heads on sticks and -- and making american army look like we're silly and don't know what to do with ourselves. >> remember when the president called them, j.v. -- junior varsity. the analysis we use is if a j.v. team puts on lakers uniforms, doesn't make them kobe bryant. >> have you been online? seen how vicious they are? >> they are savages. there's a lot of savagery in the world. if that were the criteria, we

would be occupying most of africa at this point. the president had no idea who these people were before he started talking about them in public. that's a failure of leadership. no matter what you think of the latest incursion, these people in the obama administration don't know what they're doing. that's frustrating. >> trying toplay it both ways, not being involved and trying to send drones and air strikes to have a sanitary approach. the islamic state press officer, the spokesperson for isis says we won't stop until we can bring down the white house. listen. [ speaking in foreign language ]

>> they are more organized, arguably, than iraq. more brutal -- sorry -- than al-qaeda. arguably more brutal than al-qaeda. and in fact, i'll save you the trouble of going online this morning and look at some of the things they have been tweeting and pictures they have been posting, it's absolutely horrible. pictures of dead american soldiers, pile was children. and they're saying we miss american soldiers in iraq. please come back. because we will take care of you once again. horrible images. >> here's the difference between them and the rest of the world. the vice video is an amazing documentary, by the way. they know what they want. it's evil. but they have a very clear mind picture of their goal. and in general people who have a clear understanding of what they want tend to get it. >> and a clear road map to get it. they have been planning this. and raises the larger question, how much did the white house know? how much did they know a year ago? >> didn't know anything. 20 miles from mosul.

the kurdish area, kur addition tan is a different country. i think they have american arms. they're 20 miles away. the president after meeting with african leaders pulled in the limo by his advisers, by the way, they're 20 miles away from the place of american sentiment. >> he's going on vacation and bringing along a couple of national security advisers. >> and congress is home, out of town. mike huckabee will be up later in the show. >> what do you think the president should do at this hour? we need to tell you about other stories making news this morning. the hunt is on for the person who killed 6-year-old jenise wright. it's ruled a homicide after finding her body in the woods. the killer most likely left the crime scene covered in mud. and asking neighbors if they saw

anyone wearing or discarding muddy clothing last weekend when she went missing. last night hundreds of people turned out for a vigil. and while you were sleeping, the israeli military obliterating targets in gaza. this happening moments ago. 20 other targets also hit in the gaza strip. the palestinians reporting at least five casualties. this as hamas militants continue a barrage of rockets into israel. six just this morning. the uptick in violence comes 24 hours after the collapse of a three-day truce between the warring sides. the american doctor being treated for ebola in atlanta speaking out for the first time from his hospital bed. 33-year-old dr. kent brantly saying i am growing stronger ever day, and thank god for his

mercy as i wrestle with this terrible disease. and thanks to all of you who are praying. he contracted the deadly virus caring for patients in west africa. just days after the death of james brady, the medical examiner's office ruling it a homicide. he died as a result of injuries from the 1981 assassination attempt of the president. john hinckley jr. could be charged with murder. but it's a tough battle since he was found not guilty of attempted assassination due to insanity. >> that is fascinating. >> he's been wondering around, staying at his parent's house. he is not under anyone's control right now. >> double jeopardy. interesting. hawaii cleaning up this mess after the tropical storm iselle tore through the big island. look at that. winds up to 50 miles an hour, tore down trees, power lines.

the good news is, they will avoid the wrath of julio. check this out from the international space station. vick here tracking that. >> good morning, rick. >> they look good from the sky. such beautiful shots. we are going to miss a direct land fall and hawaii. there is hawaii, this is julio. it will start to weaken, and then it's going to track just to the north of the island. not any big impacts. the worst of the weather to the north of it. good news, but see big, rough seas across areas of hawaii over the weekend. still from iselle and from julio. good news, no big impacts. the east coast, the southeast another rainy day today. scattered showers and thunderstorms. does this this morning, big boomers moving in across parts of eastern nebraska by the missouri river. later on today, more severe

weather. and the west coast, more dry. start to see a return to the monsoon activity tomorrow and into the start of the week. but today might see dry thunderstorms across parts of the pacific northwest. unfortunately meaning the fire danger will continue across that area. >> thanks, rick. coming up, a former navy s.e.a.l. thank u . thank u . thank you colonel.

morning, the u.s. making a second round of air strikes on friday as american forces returned to combat in iraq. they are fighting extremists trying to force an islamic state. >> will air strikes be enough to stop isis advancing at an alarming rate, claiming 15 targets in just five days. >> they say we will never win without boots on the ground. he's a former navy s.e.a.l. and author of battle on the home front. good morning, karl. >> thanks for centering me. >> you lost friends as a result of these terrorists. are air strikes enough? >> no, the president needs to make up his mind. in 2009, we couldn't use air strikes to save ourselves, let alone prosecute the targets we wanted to. and now the rogue air strikes. he needs to do this all or nothing. >> you were there, and you said

the terrorists were bad then, what's worse now and the danger in action? >> completely emboldened by the lack of the action by the president. choose whether in or out. an air strike here, drop humanitarian aid there. this war, let it devolve and restart fresh, to go in there and do what we need to do. >> no half measures. people like air strikes, though. because they seem like they cost us very little, and they seem from our perspective very effective. you say they're not that effective, tell us why. >> they're effective to eliminate the target they hit. it's a 500-pound bomb. i'm not calling for boots on the ground right now. definitely not. that would be a huge mistake. but this is -- points to a classic failure of the left's agenda, win the hearts and minds. yore in the winning the hearts and minds with a 500-pound bomb.

>> a lot of critics saying why not put the coalition together. syria and jordan concerned. >> nobody will do anything. >> why not create a coalition of the willing to stop these guys? >> isis and organizations like them are so ingrained in the society over there, their governments are infiltrated by these people. they're not willing to go out and fight for it. they'll say at the united nations or any type of international meeting that they want this to change. but nobody is willing to do anything about it. that's why america is constantly policing the world. >> what are you asking the president to do this morning? >> i would say continuing the air strikes, but step them up. i would completely go in there and annihilate. strike fear into the hearts of these guys. they're going to raise the isis flag over the white house. come on, that can't be tolerated. >> the currents have their own country within the formal boundaries of iraq. do you see the kurds getting

along and living in the same country with the shia? >> no, this has been a 2,000-year war and we have hopped into the middle of it. the problem is these people don't recognize geographical borders. they don't recognize it in pakistan and afghanistan, they fight on tribal borders. there's no way we can fight the war on our terms with their borders. >> much more throughout the morning. great to see you. >> thanks, karl. >> coming up here on the show, how would a kid react to finding a gun in his or her play area. >> with what's over there? >> get that gun out. >> oh, boy. >> is this happening when you send them to a friend's house? how to have that crucial conversation. and this monument to the ten commandments ordered to go. why one city is losing its religion. stay tuned.

>> the 9-year-old had the gun when it accidently fired, killing a neighbor. >> reporter: one in three homes has a gun. 2 million children live in a home with an unlocked and loaded firearm. and sometimes natural curiosity can take over. >> anybody afraid of guns? >> no. >> no. >> reporter: what can parents do, better to arm your kids early? >> i wanted her to be safe around firearms, to understand they are not toys. they have to be respected. >> one, two, three, four, five. >> reporter: or to keep them away at all costs? >> one of the most dangerous things you can possess in your house, especially where children are concerned. >> reporter: in fact one state in the country has a law requiring gun owners to lock up their firearms at all times. and unlocked guns can sometimes spell disaster. >> 3-year-old was in an upstairs bedroom when he found the glock and accidently shot himself.

>> reporter: just when you think a hand's off policy is the best way to go, consider this. >> this man rang the doorbell, and i called my mother and she said to get the gun and go to her closet. he was in the house and he was going to find me. he started turning the doorknob and i shot through the door. i shot him. >> i thought it was important with her home alone to protect herself. >> there was a no gun there, i don't know what i would do. >> the police got him right outside of my home. i'm proud of her, she was lo heroic. she saved her life and down the line, the life of someone else. >> reporter: we will look at the relationship with guns and children. and what the experts are saying. and plus what happens when children come face to face with a firearm in our hidden camera expose. >> uh-oh. >> wait.

>> no. don't touch it. >> or any other toys, okay? >> that gun. >> all right, i already took it out. >> so cool. >> and later, our hidden camera shows us what happens when kids are left alone with an unloaded gun. some of their reactions are not what parents to want see. >> and heather will talk about the conversations that parents should have with their kids aho to get that conversation going. but also the parents they should have with kids friends parents about whether guns are in the home. >> of course a kid with a gun alone are a bad idea. don't leave the guns out. but we have seen a long history of so-called concern over the safety of children being used as a pretext to strip rights of adults with things and now with guns. an unarmed population is easy to control. you have the constitutional right to have a firearm, sorry. >> and the one instance where

the little girl shot inside the home and shot and killed the robber and saved her life. >> and instead of the gun, he picked up the ipad. >> that's how addictive ipads are. >> exactly. christians being persecuted in iraq and other areas of the middle east. it's time to step up the pressure, our guest says. a marine jailed for four months for making a wrong turn makes a plea directly to the president. >> what he wants to hear obama saying, the government doing for him, they're pressuring mexico to expedite his release. >> will the white house finally step up to save sergeant andrew ta marie see? stay tuned. ♪ the truth you don't tell them all the truth ♪

nominee reverend michael faulkner. good morning. >> good morning, it is my fr pleasure. >> when you hear about the religious minorities in iraq, faced with possible death if they don't convert, they're going to be beheaded. right. >> what do you think about that? >> one, they're an example for all christians. because the bible teaches us that if you name the name of christ, you will be persecuted and you have to face this. remember, these people are faced with an option to convert. they're not converting, they're true christians. they are true believers in the faith. secondly, i think that we have to put more pressure on these governments to change. that is through -- i don't have much faith in the u.n., but through the u.n. or through other means -- international means -- to bring pressure to bear. and thirdly, i really believe that my president should step up his conversation globally on

this issue. i believe he has been far too silent. i believe that this issue has got to come to the forefront of all the humanitarian issues that we're facing, because religious and ethnic cleansing and persecution cannot stand. and we, you know, in america we enjoy the freedoms, and we believe very much that people -- that religious freedom is a basic human right. >> so, here's what i'm confused by. if -- we're very attuned to certain types, gays in uganda, girls in kandahar. and christians, it's somehow embarrassing for us to take even a verbal stand on their behalf. >> it's not a religious issue -- it is obviously a religious issue. from the public standpoint, the governmental stand point, this is what we talk about in every area, just like you were saying, in every area. why not when christians are

persecuted solely for the fact they are christians, only that. >> you talk about the president, the leader of the free world. what an incredible bull haorn h has to make changes. what about the churches across the country? >> i believe if every christian minister would begin to pray and begin to have their congregat n congregations pray and speak out loudly and clearly, i believe we would see a turn in these events. i believe we would raise the attention. either one way or another, either bring persecution on ourselves, and/or change the way that the world views this and begin to change public opinion. i mean, it worked in south africa with apartheid. it can work in these countries that are so egregious in terms their treatment of christians. only because they're christians. and we're seeing an escalation of that treatment in these countries, and without any kind of scrutiny, without any kind of, you know, being checked, it

is -- it's something that's out of hand. it's out of control. and i thank you for asking about that. because i'm planning on raising that issue. there are several different websites. the voice of the martyrs, there's open doors usa that are great websites that can teach or give instructions on how to pray and what to pray for in terms of how to bring attention to these issues. >> when pastors go to the pulpit, mentioned this in your sermon, and as christians, when you wake up on sunday morning, don't hit snooze and stay in bed, go to church, right? be thankful you can. >> be thankful that you can, be thankful that you can do that without police protection. and be thankful, and be mindful of the responsibility that we have to pray for those being persecu persecuted. >> reverend, great to see you. >> great to be here. we have the headlines. >> sunday, a philadelphia pool turns frantic. three young children shocked

a texas principal fired for asking kids at her school to speak english. amy says she was persecuted for simply enforcing state rules. the state's tests in texas are only in english. here to weigh in, thanks a lot for joining us this morning, ms. garcia. >> thanks for having me. >> so can this really be true? that in the united states of america, you can be fired for asking people to speak in the national language? >> it would seem to be the case if the story as i hear it is correct that this principal was merely helping to establish an atmosphere by which english language learning, you know, that speaking, writing, reading and comprehension all determiners of success in

education and professional life here in the u.s. and worldwide, she was trying to help that along in her school system, her school, and apparently political correctness got in the way of that. >> well, it's interesting because language is really the only thing that holds us together as a country. i mean, we're not of the same race or ethnicity, religion, background, but we have a common culture based on a common language. and when that goes away, things fall apart, don't you think? >> well, in fact, what makes us such a wonderful country is we do all come from various cultures and native languages, but, again, to the extent that here in america schools ought to be achieving, you know, basic comprehension and language schools amongst schoolchildren here, and we find that even with native speakers, english native speakers, our rates are not that fantastic.

so to the extent that this principal thought that, you know, learning by immersion, even when you're teaching a foreign language is key, i think at a school here in america, it does make sense that one would want to ensure that everyone graduates with good english language learning. >> so harry reid described attempts to make english the national language, the official language of america as, quote, racist. do you think that we should make it the official language of this country? it's not as of today. >> i think the key here is making sure that all american students that are educated in our school system come out with these skills in the english language that will help them be successful in life. and again, looking at other countries, english is a language that is a considerable asset and a much-needed skill in business

and professional life. i think we should emphasize that. >> thanks so much for joining us this morning. we appreciate it. >> my pleasure. >> we've got more "fox "fox & friends" coming up in two minutes. once there was a girl who never settled for ordinary.

hello and good morning. today is saturday, the 9th of august, 2014. a fox news alert. the united states returning to combat in iraq, launching a series of airstrikes targeting the brutal militant group isis. but will strikes be enough to end the terror? or do we need boots on the ground? and remember when the president called a terror group junior varsity? they said they would not stop until they raise an islamic flag over the white house. and it's one of the most amazing pieces of video. people coming together to save a man trapped on the railroad tracks. for the first time, you're going to hear from that man who was saved. "fox & friends" hour two starts

right now. strength in numbers and showing that there is still good in the world, right? we broke all kinds of records on social media with this video earlier this week. >> it's encouraging because we often see video people test whether they'll come to aid. and people just stand there. >> or they'll take pictures with their cell phone. >> i find this easier to believe that that. i think most people in this country are pretty nice, actually. >> i believe that. although when you see that video, you're kind of shocked. first, the news we're following from overnight. >> the united states launches airstrikes targeting isis. this as military planes drop a second round of aid to stranded religious refugees. elizabeth live in washington, d.c. good morning. you have the latest? what's that? >> we're seeing two fronts. we have twice dropped

life-saving supplies. defense secretary chuck hagel says cargo planes have dropped at least 60 crates to those in needed, bringing much-needed relief to yazidis. this as we're seeing new footage of a specific effort to stop isis from advancing near erbil, which is a city in the north, using drones and navy f-18 fighter jets, striking at least three rounds during two waves of attacks using laser-guided bombs. they're targeting artillery as well as isis and military vehicles. a representative from the kurdish regional government says isis continues, however, to gain momentum, specifically taking control of the mosul dams. he says there are unanswered calls for the u.s. to help. >> we have both publicly and privately, with the u.s. government, requested a specific list of equipment from the united states. that to this point as of a few hours ago, i was getting updates, still nothing delivered to the ground. >> we did hear from white house

press secretary josh earnest yesterday. he says there's no specific end date to this campaign which remains unnamed. he did reiterate there will be no american troops in combat, however. anna, tucker, clayton, back to you guys. >> thanks, elizabeth. well, we have a response from the white house, but first, a response from isis to those second round of airstrikes. they are promising more attacks against christians and americans. they're saying this on video, and they're saying it on social media. there has been a flurry of tweets recently. believe it or not, this group does use twitter. pictures of american soldiers being killed. they're horrifying. we're not going to put them on the screen, but clear a clear message that this group is focused on the united states. >> and showing children, saying we miss you, american soldiers here in iraq, and we would have a barbecue in your honor. the pictures are horrifying what they've been able to post on twitter. josh earnest at the white house when ed henry was asking him about what differentiates this front now in iraq from what

unfolded in syria with 175,000 people being killed there, will we put boots on the ground, or will it be airstrikes? listen. >> the united states stands ready to support the formation of that government, and that government's efforts to repel the advance of isil, and that includes the deployment of military force. it will not include, however, the additional american combat troops being deployed to iraq. >> really? this is pathetic. i don't think we should send combat troops to iraq. most americans don't. i think we should reserve the right to do that, though. how scary is this threat? we're not actually going to do anything about it. that we can promise you. he just defanged the threat of u.s. action in the eyes of isis. that statement right there undercuts anything we do in response to this threat. it's insane that they would say that out loud. >> yeah. and recently toward the end of the week, they took control of the mosul dam, too, which is so important and vital because the

electricity, that's the power for the region there. that's the water supply for the region there. and then they could also use it as a weapon and create waves, some reports say as far as baghdad and flood the region. can you imagine that? so they've become so much more well organized, and our inaction has let them do so. remember a few months ago when the president called isis a jv team. >> he said the analogy we use sometimes around here, talking about being at the white house, he said i think it's accurate. he says it's as if a jv team puts on lakers uniforms, that doesn't make them kobe bryant. >> they didn't even know who these guys were. the white house didn't even realize that they were about to take over mosul. it was just the other -- it was two days ago, the president was coming out of a photo op with a bunch of african leaders. he was pulled into his limo by aides. by the way, these guys are 20 miles away from taking control of kurdistan, the only pro-american region in the whole area. they had no clue. they are so out of it. >> if you looked at "the new

york times" yesterday, it had a fascinating map which broke down specifically where isis had planned and now has achieved their victories around baghdad. large circles, near the mosul dam, as you pointed out. take a look at that. this was targeted, well-executed over months and months and months that the obama administration either just ignored or just turned a blind eye to this whole thing. because if you listen to the leader, the spokesperson of isis in this new documentary from vice, listen to what he says about their plan. they're not just going to stop at mosul or baghdad. they want to come to the white house and put up a flag. listen.

>> also in part one and part two of the documentary that have been released so far, we hear from these children that isis believes are going to take over the world and spread islamic extremism to every corner of the earth. and that's what's so scary is they're not afraid to die for their cause. and they're engraining this in young children. >> but that's it right there. i mean, they're total nutjobs and extremists and evil and terrorists and that's all true. but they also know exactly what they want. and in a contest between one side that is not quite sure what it wants and the other that knows exactly what it wants, guess who has the advantage? the people with the clarity of purpose. >> that's so true. karl higby on our show earlier is a former navy s.e.a.l. he says the enemy is emboldened, and they're not going to stop. listen. >> they're completely emboldened now by the lack of action by this president. he needs to -- like i said, he needs to choose whether he wants in or out. you can't continue to say well, we'll do an airstrike here or maybe we'll drop some

humanitarian aid there. it's not as effective as putting boots on the ground. i would say continue the airstrikes but step them up. i would completely go in there and annihilate, really strike fear into the hearts of these guys. they just said they're going to raise the isis flag over the white house? come on. i mean, that can't be tolerated. >> tell us your thoughts on this story. we're going to be speaking shortly to governor hike huckabee to get his thoughts as well. some other stories making headlines, a nightmare aboard a dreamliner jet when a boeing 787's engine failed during a flight over the atlantic. the plane carrying 288 passengers dropped to a low altitude and flew for four hours before making an emergency landing at a remote military airport in portugal. fortunately, it landed safely, and nobody was hurt. and while you were sleeping, the israeli military obliterating targets in gaza.

this blast happening earlier this morning. 20 other targets also hit in the gaza strip. the palestinians reporting at least five casualties. this as hamas militants continue a barrage of rockets into israel. six just this morning. the uptick in violence comes 24 hours after the collapse of a three-day truce between the warring sides. an apartment fire in madison, wisconsin, so fierce, the national weather service says they saw it on their radar. firefighters say the heat could be felt for more than a block away and melted the vinyl siding on at least seven homes across the street. there are no reports of injuries. the blaze is now almost contained. and here's that great video. it's the best video of the week, for crying out loud. now for the first time we are hearing from the man who got his leg stuck between a train and a platform in australia. the video has thousands of views on youtube. the man who goes by andy says he was amazed when he saw the video of dozens of fellow commuters

rushing to save him. >> i just got caught up in the rush. i wasn't really aware of how many people were -- well, you've seen the situation. until i saw the footage later on, on the news. >> he also says he didn't panic when he got stuck. that's always the thing they say, just don't panic. step number one, don't panic. how can you not panic? >> he doesn't seem like the panicking type. i don't know. i don't know if it's demerol or what it is. >> very calm. >> always carry a stick of buttner your pocket. you never know when you'll get stuck in a train. let's talk about the weather. hawaii cleaning up this morning after assessing the damage from tropical storm iselle. winds upwards of 50 miles per hour took down trees, power lines leaving 23,000 people without power. good news, the island will avoid the wrath of hurricane julio.

check out this new video of the category 2 storm from the international space station. rick here to track that storm. hey, rick. >> good-looking storm. iselle. everybody's had ha hard time wih that. iselle. different countries submit them, and so they end up with different accents. >> but are we still in charge of hurricane naming? >> we're not. not completely. >> we gave that up like the internet, huh? >> exactly. iselle. this is actually still rain from iselle across some of the northern and western islands. oahu getting in on some of the rain now. a little bit of it back towards the big island. that obviously is the place that took the brunt of this. for the most part, iselle is done. and this is julio. still close. a lot of people were concerned about a one, two punch. this is going to move to the north of hawaii and weaken as it does. so we might still see some pretty strong swells. not the good surfing kind of swells. i'm sure some people will be out there nonetheless. temperaturewise across the u.s.,

looking pretty good this morning. 83 in dallas. still warm down across the south. we're going to see some of these showers especially in towards areas of the southeast. and this morning big boomers moving across parts of nebraska headed in towards iowa in towards missouri later on in the afternoon. get ready. we'll watch some more of those redevelop across nebraska and kansas. some of them severe. >> thank you, ricardo. >> what? coming, another border patrol agent murdered by two illegal aliens who had been deported before. how many more americans will have to lose their lives before we fix problems like this? we'll hear from a retired border patrol agent next. plus, you knew this was going to happen sometime. cars coming to a standstill over an escaped camel. and it's not the first time this guy has broken free. >> it's hump day!

>> well, it's actually worse than that, tucker. what we're experiencing is a general lawlessness throughout the nation. and it started at the border long before brian terry. because if you don't know the facts about the brian terry shooting, for one year prior to that incident in that particular area in the canyon, there had been three other shooting incidents involving border patrol agents. and on the night that brian terry was sent out to interdict this particular rip crew, he was required to use bean bag rounds in the shotgun. this shows a very definite trend by the department of homeland security to sacrifice the safety of their agents for political purposes. whatever they were. >> well, hold up. i'm sorry, will you stop right there. i think a lot of our viewers may not be aware of the fact, border patrol agents -- by the way,

patrolling the border of a country having a civil war were required to use bean bags? what's the justification for that? >> that was never clear. but we do know that involved in fast and furious, the guns that were being smuggled into mexico was overseen by the united states attorney in phoenix, arizona, who main prosecuting officer for the agents that were working in that area. so the possibility that either one of the people in the rip crew was an informant for another federal agency or it was at the behest of dennis mercks who was the u.s. attorney in phoenix at that time, it had to have come from above the border patrol because it didn't make good sense to put a bean bag in a shotgun when you knew you were dealing with someone using hard bullets in a high-powered rifle. >> it's just really completely

shocking. and very quickly, mr. taylor, do you think that this is part of a strategy from washington, from the white house, to lessen border control, to pull back and make it easier for people to come here illegally? >> oh, it's definitely a strategy of the administration to have the border patrol pull back and not meet force with force. they're telling them to run away from an incident, to take cover, not to get into a confrontation, not to shoot at people. well, that's stupid. the border is a very dangerous place. and the more drugs and aliens get involved with coming into this country illegally, the more violence there's going to be used against the border patrol agent. and the only way to keep that from happening is to meet force with force. not to overwhelm the individual, but if they do use force against you, you have to use equal or

excessive force to stop the attack. >> well, of course. >> and the agent has to have that discretion because it's his life that's on the line, not the guy sitting in washington, d.c., fiddling around with his computer. >> thanks for the reminder of that. mr. taylor, we appreciate you joining us this morning. >> you bet. still ahead, how would a child react to finding a gun in a play area? well, of course, it doesn't happen very often in real life, but we have an experiment on camera. the cameras roll and see how kids react to finding a firearm. then before you book your next flight, the worst airline in america was just named. we'll have it for you coming up. when folks think about what they get from alaska, they think salmon and energy.

but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence. it's one more part of our commitment to america. that's keeping you from the healthcare you deserve.. at humana, we believe the gap will close when healthcare gets simpler. when frustration and paperwork decrease. when grandparents get to live at home instead of in a home. so let's do it. let's simplify healthcare. let's close the gap between people and care.

you our hidden camera footage of how kids react when they find a firearm laying around. but how do you know when they're in the presence of one? do you even know if your neighbor or your child's play date have parents with a gun in the home? do they keep it locked up? heather nauer is here now with more. healther? >> of course, it's says our constitutional right to own a gun, but with that comes responsibility, especially when there are kids in the home. but what do you do when your child goes to another family's house? do you ever think to ask if they have a gun? it can be a tough question. but i recently met a mom who regrets not posing it. this is something that every parent should see. >> he just said to me, i don't know how to tell you this. and i said what? and he said that he was shot. and i said, well, what are you talking about? how? when? where? >> reporter: december 22nd, 2010, 12-year-old nicholas nomkin, a second greater, who had a flare or arts and

performing -- ♪ ♪ will come to you >> reporter: -- was accidentally shot while spending the night at a friend's house. >> we were told that they went downstairs to the basement where nicholas's friend showed him some old, like, 40-year-old bullets. and his friend asked him if he's ever seen a real gun before. he went to his parents' bedroom and got the gun out of like a sock drawer, thinking that the gun was unloaded, he pointed at nicholas and pulled the trigger. this was the last heartbeat you could hear of your child. >> reporter: did you know that the parents were gun owners? of the little boy? >> i never thought of it.

>> reporter: you never thought about that before. had had you known, would you have felt differently about having your son play at his house? >> absolutely. >> reporter: how do you ask that family if they own a weapon and if it's properly secured? >> you just ask. >> reporter: so that's it. just as oksana says, you just ask. and though it can be an awkward conversation, it's one that's practical and necessary. >> for 75% to 80% of families with guns in the home, first and second graders know where that gun is kept. so it really is unrealistic to think that the kids don't know what's going on. >> reporter: and because of that awareness, experts sele the groundwork with your kids early and often. >> you need to start the conversation early from kindergarten on, and it needs to be the rules. >> reporter: and when approaching parents, keeping it conversational works best. >> there needs to be no emotion about it. it's just one of the questions, do you have allergies? do you have a pet? do you have a swimming pool? do you have a gun? >> reporter: and if a family takes offense, offer to move the play day. >> studies have shown people

with guns aren't offended by asking the question. in fact, it's almost offered a lot of times. it's a matter of you feeling safe. the reality is, it could take just once for something to happen to your child. you need to make that decision that's going to keep your child safe. >> he was such a bright light. >> at the school play. >> it is really, really important to know if -- where, you know, if the people where you're sending your child for a play date are gun owners and how they're stored. we're not trying to take, you know, the guns away from gun owners. there's nothing wrong with asking. so you could make an educated choice. >> oksana and her husband are now working to pass nicholas's bill in new york state. it would require the safe storage of guns with a locking device to prevent children from using them. the bill is now before the state senate.

>> all right. thanks, heather nauert reporting. tough questions that she brings up, the things you would ask. do you have a. in your backyard? is there a fence around it? are there guns in the house? are there other sorts of things you need to be worried about as a parent? >> those are more statements. guns are scary. gun owners are a threat to you and your children. and the truth is, well, obviously a child death is the worst tragedy imaginable. far more children died last year drowning in their bathtubs than were killed accidentally by guns. so i'd like to see a package on do you have a bathtub at home? because i need to know that before i send my child over to your house. a little perspective might be helpful, i think. zploo we ha >> and we talked about the dangers of pool safety. >> how about bathtub safety? >> well, yeah. that's a great question, too. >> but the point of that was gun owners are scary. and any gun owner could be a threat to your child. you know, take a look at the places with the highest levels of gun ownership. they're also the safest.

maine, wyoming. you're not going to hurt. vermont. >> it's also engrained in the families' culture, and so the conversation isn't as tough to have in places like that because you maybe almost even assume that guns may be in the home. the kids are around it so they don't get so curious. >> if somebody asked me, the idea that 93% of people don't mind if you ask if they have a firearm at home, i find that a very private question. it's something the government would like to know because they'd like to disarm you. it's something i'm not comfortable talking about with other people, and i would be offended by that question. count me in the 7%. coming up here on the show with the crisis escalating in iraq, are targeted airstrikes enough to stop isis? a veteran of the wars in iraq and afghanistan joins us with what needs to be done to complete that mission. plus, cars still coming to a standstill over an escaped camel? and it's not the first time this guy has broken free. first, let's check in for a look at what's coming up on "cashing in."

the u.s. military carried out two more airstrikes against isis in near erbil.

this time they hit a convoy of seven vehicles and a mortar, but are these attacks too little, too late to stop the group as it advances through iraq? along with the thousands of christians fleeing for their lives in another part of that country. >> joining us now from concerned veterans for america and a veteran of both the wars in afghanistan and iraq is pete hegestad. >> good morning. >> will it be enough to stop the advancement of isis and trying to bring some relief to those folks trapped in the mountain regions right now with getting food and water there? >> well, these strikes are actually disconnected in a sense from what's happening on mount sinjar. these are to prevent isis from advancing on erbil, the capital of the kurdish area in iraq where there is an american consulate, a lot of americans and a lot of american allies. you want to talk about a bastion of pro-americanism, isis is on the march toward there, almost 25 miles outside. these strikes, i welcome them

because they will push back that advance in a very narrow sense on erbil. we can drop 500-pound bombs on advances on convoys of isis. what they won't do is change the overall calculus of isis's advance in that country. those folks in sinjar are still under siege. mosul and the dam still under control of isis. so if we want to turn back the wave of isis, we're going to have to do a lot more than pinprick strikes. >> the campaign on getting out of the middle east, and it seems like the president has tried to stick by. is that why the white house is making this seem like this is a humanitarian e escalation in iraq? >> absolutely it is. he campaigned and has staked his presidency on getting out and ending these wars, not on finishing them and certainly not on reengaging in them, which is why this is still a nameless operation with no sort of strategic intent other than to protect americans and potentially provide humanitarian support. what it should be is a direct

attempt to support our allies and kill and defeat our enemies. that's what a strategy would look like through working with proxy forces like the peshmerga in kurdistan and then other iraqi forces out of baghdad. we could provide air support to them and provide an offensive against isis, that would be a real strategy. that's not what the president's doing. >> it's just so shocking how political these issues seem to be. pete, thanks for perspective on that. we appreciate it. >> you got it. all right. also this morning, a wisconsin couple grieving the loss of their 3-month-old is suing the popular child-care website care.com. they used the site to hire a nanny who was charged with their daughter's murder. the couple claims the site failed to reveal grubb had two citations for drunken driving and one for battery. care.com reportedly says the couple, quote, did not avail themselves of the background-checking services. a california woman is safe after being held in a garage for

>> there's that whole thing you put a lobster into boiling water. is that inhumane? >> extreme? is that what you're asking? >> no, you're putting it into boiling water. >> lobsters want feel pain. they have no pain receptors. >> unlike you. >> let's talk about the ceviche. >> so we have a lobster salad going on a lobster slider and some lobster ceviche right here. what would you like to build first? >> let's says try this. a lobster roll is a main thing. especially in the northeast. >> this is a salad, a couple red onions, celery, a little mayonnaise. just however you like to make it. real simple. mainly lobster. >> a good ratio. >> a good ratio. lobster. >> lobster to mayonnaise. >> i mean, this is your basic lobster salad. you're putting it on a small

bun. >> absolutely. makes it bite-sized and ready to go. >> brilliant. >> so that's what you would consider a lobster slider. >> yes, that's our slider. >> fantastic. >> are you digging in there now? >> i am about to. and one last thing, the ceviche. tell us about this. >> so again, fresh maine lobster. the whole center point is around fresh lobster. a little bit of shrimp, bay scallops, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper and we're good to go. >> i just gave your plate away. how is it? how is it? >> good. >> good. we may need an epipen back here. >> it is lobster. i hole you're not allergic to shellfish. >> come visit us. new menu, 20 new items, 200 locations around the country. >> bonefish. started in st. petersburg. thanks, mark. >> appreciate it. anna, tucker, back in to you guys. >> yummy. >> so delicious. here's what's coming up on "fox & friends." the new danger in the skies for passenger planes. it's drones.

good morning, everybody. 52 minutes after the hour on your saturday. more close calls. commercial jets dodging drones in the sky. a near nightmare in the sky. a passenger plane nearly crashes into a camouflaged drone. >> the drone had a close call with a passenger jetliner. >> another passenger plane swerving out of the way of what appears to have been a drone.

>> well, there have been 50 incidents in the past decade involving passenger jets and drones, but in the last 35 days alone, 11 incidents have been reported. quite an uptick there. why hasn't the faa done anything about this? here to weigh in, pilot and aviation expert, sal. so what is the faa doing so far? >> the faa has put out advisory circulars. advisory circulars are not laws and that's basically what the courts have said. the ntsb said the faa has to promulgate a real law, put it through the due process system with congress and get this thing passed and then they'll back up the enforcement of this. the problem is that is this a toy or is this an aircraft? for years the faa have said these are toys. now the faa is saying, no, they're aircraft and subject to all of the licensing under the federal aviation regulations. >> they're gaining in so much popularity too. it's not just model airplanes to

kids and young aviation enthusiasts are exploring. they're being used for all kinds of things. so far the faa says, though, that they can't fly within five miles of an airport and must be at 400 feet or less. is that enough? >> well, that would be a start. certainly that's what they should promulgate as a law, but it's not a law. they have made it under an advisory circular. then what they do is say, look, we have a law that says you can't operate an aircraft carelessly. if you don't obey our advisory circular, then we're going to charge you with that law that says you're being careless. the ntsb judges have said you can't do that. >> let's take a look at some of these. these are civilian drone incidents that have just happened since november of 2009. en reported. and 236 unsafe these incidents were reported by registered drone users, so there may be some that are flipping through as well. you mentioned one that just happened last week in yosemite.

>> yosemite park and drones are already prohibited from national parks all over the country. a drone went into the hot springs there and only reason that the park police knew about it was the drone operator wanted his drone back. he has no way of getting it back, it's a 200-foot springs so we don't know what kind of damage that thing will do. there has got to be some reasonable laws. drones are valuable and will be useful in the future but when the faa's own figures show 30,000 drones will be in play in 2020, we have to do something now. >> we've heard about amazon wanting to use drones for delivery. is that something we'll see? >> maybe someplace in the future like the jetsons, but i have to tell you right now that scares me. there's just too many of these things being flown without any regulation at all. >> sal, thanks for your time today. >> my pleasure. 55 minutes after the hour. coming up on "fox & friends weekend" christians fleeing iraq and women being held captive by militants. so are these air strikes enough to stop the terror?

governor mike huckabee joins us top of the hour. good morning. and a shocking ruling, the death of president reagan's press secretary now ruled a homicide. over 30 years after the fact. that story ahead, we'll explain.

hey, everybody, good morning. today is saturday, the 9th of august, 2014. christians fleeing iraq and women being held captive by militants. so are these air strikes enough to stop the terror? governor mike huckabee here to weigh in next. and do you think your children would know what to do if they found a gun? our hidden cameras uncover the startling responses that every parent needs to see. and it's almost a back flip failed. the heart-stopping video of one guy's slip on top of a skyscraper that will make you wonder if you should be doing

cal doz calisthenics on the top of tall buildings. something to consider. "fox & friends" begins right now. >> good saturday morning. >> good morning. >> welcome into "fox & friends." no. you should not be doing back flips up there. >> you don't think so? >> no. >> who's filming it and allowing that to happen, your friend? we'll have more on that. first we're joined by governor mike huckabee. good morning, governor. >> good morning. on that story i have a feeling the last paragraph is that template you'll always see. it was believed that alcohol was involved in the incident. >> exactly. >> governor, you're here on an interesting morning because congress is out of town. the president tomorrow is heading on a two-week vacation up to martha's vineyard but the middle east is on fire this morning. >> it is. >> and hundreds of thousands of iraqi christians fleeing for fear of isis right now, many of them huddled on a mountain top in sinjar waiting for relief supplies to arrive, bottled

water and food supplies. what do you make of this latest round of air strikes. is it a strong move by the president or just weak kneed? >> i just had correspondence this morning with a long-time cia military operative who was in the area right now. the interesting perspective that he shares, and i think it's one we ought to take note of, and i sort of summed it up into three things. that is that we ought to have air campaigns, not an air strike. secondly, that we ought to arm the kurds. third, we have to aim our focus on the right targets. all of these things are not being done right now. we have air strikes. in other words, we're going and saying we'll hit here, we'll hit here. we don't have an air campaign. an air campaign is different in that it is a large scale focused, concentrated effort to knock out the major components of isis and that's not what we're doing. and it's the only thing that's going to be effective. these are not people you can just say okay, you hit us, we'll hit you back. you hit us, we're hitting you back. the only thing that will help is

an utter destruction of isis' capability. unfortunately, they have american hardware. we know what it's capable of and we've got to take it away from them. >> so the president in an interview with "the new york times," someone who has been wrong about everything that happened around the world said this about whose fault it is. here's the president. >> they squandered an opportunity, and i've been, i think, pretty clear about the fact that had the shia majority seized the opportunity to reach out to the sunnis and the kurds in a more effective way, passed legislation, that that would have made a difference. i don't think that can be disputed. the flip side of it is if they had done exactly what they did and we had had 10,000 troops there, that would not have prevented the kinds of problems that we've seen anyway. the difference would be we'd have 10,000 troops in the middle of this chaos as opposed to having a much limited number.

>> tom friedman is you're right, you're absolutely right. >> the sad part is we were supposed to give the kurds military hardware. that was the deal. we actually gave it to the maliki government. what did he do with it? he kept it. the kurds of basically shooting pea shooters at people who have the most advanced military hardware. why haven't we armed the kurds? they're the only friends we've got. you know the problem with this administration? we don't know the difference between a didngood guy and a ba guy. who doesn't realize there is a clear distinction between right and wrong, good and evil, light and dark. this administration is incapable of understanding the difference between the good guys and the bad guys. so we ignore the bad guys and we leave the good guys standing there with their pants around their ankles because we won't give them the necessary hardware. they're not asking us for troops, they're just saying would you please give us something a little more substantive than a bb gun. >> the 10,000 troops that he

said -- you heard the president. i'm curious on that particular point because he says if the 10,000 troops were there, we'd be in the middle of this chaos right now. do you buy that? would i sis be taking over large swaths of the country right now? >> nobody is asking for 10,000 troops. what they're asking for is give us some arms and we can take care of ourselves. this is what's so amazing. the kurds have not requested us to come in with boots on the ground. what they have said was give us the military hardware that you promised you would give us. we've broken that promise because we gave it to a dishonest broker, maliki, who's kept it all. that's the real tragedy here. have we gone in and armed the kurds? no. how come? why haven't we done that? there's no excuse for that. we're dropping a few bottles of water and giving them some mres trying to protect the horrible things going on to the christians and other religious groups. when are we going to understand that radical islam is a cancer. you can't take out half the tumor and say i think he'll be

better. we took out half the tumor. you take the whole tumor or you just are going to continue to have cancer and that's what we have not faced up to. >> you can't just have a toothache and think it's going to go away. do you think that we can solve this problem either with handing out humanitarian aid with these mres and water? is it weapons that we need to drop? >> you've got to put weapons in the hands of the people willing to fight for their own freedom. the kurds are willing to do it. the kurds are one of the few people that we can count on and trust in the middle east. the other is the israelis. what have we done? we've condemned the israelis for defending themselves and we don't want to arm the kurds who defend themselves. help explain to anyone with an iq above plant life how that policy makes any sense and it just doesn't. >> and timing, and again the president has said and there have been reports to people around him in the most whiney possible way, boy, i didn't want this in the first place. >> then don't run for president. it's real simple. don't ask for the office if you

don't want to do the job because the job is not going to be the job you want id to be. it's the job that it turns out to be. and when you ever run for office, you don't know what you're going to be facing. you think you have an agenda, you have an idea. you know, i ran for governor. i said these are the things i want to get done of the then a tornado hits, a flood comes, katrina comes. you don't get to pick and choose the agenda that you want to deal with, you deal with the crisis at hand. that's what you asked for. that's what you get paid for. not to go on vacation at martha's vineyard for the next three weeks, by the way. >> governor, i think i'm hearing you say we need to do more than we're doing but what clayton is asking is would we have been in this same position if we left a residual force that was better, number one, and would it be better over the last few months as isis was gaining steam in iraq and syria if we had taken action then? >> we should have taken action then and, yes, there should have been a residual force agreement put into place before we pulled

out. but that was a political decision not a military decision. one of the problems with this president, he doesn't listen to the people who know more about the military and more about strategic policy than he does. i have always said, the most dangerous man in the room is the man who doesn't know what he doesn't know. he doesn't know a lot about the military, and i'm glad we have civilian leadership, but by gosh you better listen to the people who have donndged bullets for a living and ask them what is the best strategy. if that's not your expertise, then for heaven sakes ask somebody whose expertise it is to understand what is the best way to get rid of a cancer like isis. >> while he's on vacation, he's bringing along a couple of national security advisers. >> i'm so comforted by this. i'm sure that this feckless policy we've created will be more feckless. i'm sure between bicycle rides and ice cream cones he'll have an occasional conversation with ben rhodes and we'll all be

better for it. >> so where does this end up exactly? is there any hope after making a country out of iraq or would it be better to support a partition deal. >> i think the partition deal is a good idea to give the kurds their independence. that makes a lot of sense. it's one of the few things joe biden was ever right about. >> i agree. >> that makes sense. iraq has the capacity to be, you know, an independent country, but not as long as it's led by radical islamists. when i was in iraq, and it's been several years ago, but when i was there, you look around and you say i can see this place working. you know, you could sort of visualize it. afghanistan not so much. but iraq has the potential. but it doesn't if it's governed boy people who want to take it back to the stone age rather than want to take it into the 21st century. so it all comes down to leadership. do you have leadership that sees a future or that sees a past. if they're looking in the rear-view mirror, you've got trouble. if they're looking through the windshield, maybe you've got hope. >> tonight at 8:00 p.m. the huck

be show, who do you have coming on your show tonight? >> we don't have anybody. >> no one? that would be good. >> we've got a great show. we've got general bob scales who will be talking about some of these issues going on in the middle east. we also have inan hersy ali, we're going to have her speak on our show. and james burton, elvis' guitar player, one of the greatest guitar players of all time will be our musical guest. >> elvis' guitar player? >> he was everybody's guitar player. he's the guy that keith richards want to be like when they grow up. >> governor, great to see you. >> thanks. good to be with you. some other stories making headlines on your saturday morning, the hunt is on for the person who killed 6-year-old jenise wright. investigators have ruled her death a homicide after finding her body in the woods near her home in washington state. police believe her killer most likely left the crime scene covered in mud and are asking

neighbors if they saw anyone wearing or discarding muddy clothing last weekend when she was first reported missing. last night hundreds of people turned out for a vigil to remember her. while you were sleeping, the israeli military obliterating targets in gaza. this blast happening earlier this morning. 20 other targets also hit in the gaza strip. the palestinians reporting at least five casualties. this as hamas militants continue a barrage of rockets into israel, six just this morning. the up tick in violence comes 24 hours after the collapse of a three-day truce between the warring sides. the american doctor who's being treated for ebola in atlanta speaking out for the first time from his hospital bed. 33-year-old dr. kent brantly saying, quote, i am growing stronger every day and i thank god for his mercy as i have wrestled with this terrible disease. i also want to extend my deep

winds upwards of 50 miles an hour took down trees and power lines that left 23,000 people without electricity. the good news, hawaii will avoid the wrath of hurricane julio, which is on the way. check this out. it's a new view of the massive category 2 from the international space station. wasn't it something like two decades or something that hawaii's big island hadn't seen a storm like this? >> longer than that. i think it was 53 or something. no storm at all anywhere in hawaii in over 22 years so pretty crazy thing. they don't get a lot of tropical storms or hurricanes. mostly because it's a needle in a haystack in the middle of the pacific ocean there, but this is what's left of these cells. certainly still some moisture. they're bringing rain but for the most part that will get out of here for the most part and we'll see breaks of sunshine. there's another storm that's a concern but we think it will move to the north of it. it will also weaken as it gets a little closer. as you look at one of our forecast models, take a look at

what happens. this is where the strongest of here. we go in towards tomorrow and you see this stays well to the north of all of the islands. it will, however, bring big swells across some of the north-facing beaches there. i'm sure a lot of surfers will get out and try to take advantage of that but it's going to be very messy, messy surf. rain today across the southeast and across parts of the central plains, maybe two or three inches by the time it's done. guys. coming up on the show, he's rotting in a cuban prison just for doing his job for the american government. now his wife says he doesn't want to live anymore. so where's our government now? and remember this shocking video? a child electrocuted while swimming. a father frantically rushing to help. unbelievable. it just happened again.

american alan gross has been sitting in a cuban prison since 2009. he was sentenced by the communist government to 15 years for doing his job as a u.s. government subcontractor. he was setting up the internet on that island, which is an oasis. they are unable to get news in cuba and he was trying to change that. a group of 300 rabbis are appealing to the white house to help get alan gross released but time may be running out. his wife says he has given up hope and may be preparing to take his own life. judy gross joins us now. mrs. gross, thanks a lot for coming on this morning. this is such a sad story. >> sure. >> it's really, really upsetting. so tell us the very latest. have you spoken to your husband or you got word from him that he has given up? >> i spoke to my husband yesterday actually and he is -- i think what you say is

passively giving up. he's refusing any visitors, including his family now. he's refusing any visit from the state department in havana, which were monthly events. so that also means that he's giving up books and magazines and food because he would get it through the state department. so to me that means that he's just slowly wasting away and has no hope. >> it's so sad, and i wonder, i hate to even ask you this, but how do you feel when you watch, for example, the bowe bergdahl story unfold where someone who deserted his unit, the u.s. government makes every effort, trades high-level captives in order to get him back and yet your husband who was doing his job to bring information to a communist country on behalf of the u.s. government, we don't do anything to help him. how do you feel when you see that? >> well, first of all, i'm very happy for the bergdahl family

that they're once again reunited. and my thought is that what the u.s. did to get sergeant bergdahl back had to be very, very complicated and complex. i'm sure it took a while for that to happen. but if they can do that with the taliban and negotiate with the taliban, who we have absolutely no relationships with, certainly they can think of a way to get alan home. >> you would certainly think so. we have a quote from the nsc spokesman on your husband. quote, securing alan gross's immediate release remains a top priority to the u.s. his continued incarceration represents a significant impediment between constructive relationships between the united states and cuba. exactly what are we, and by we i mean the obama administration, doing to get your husband out and back to the u.s.?

>> i would love to have a good answer for you, but i really can't say at this point. the government is being very quiet about it. they keep telling us it's a priority, it's a priority, yet we haven't seen any action. maybe they're keeping it super secret, but there's absolutely no communication whatsoever. >> judy gross joining us this morning. that is truly a sad story and you are certainly on our mind. thank you very much for coming on. >> sure. thank you. a stunning ruling. the death of president reagan's press secretary has been ruled a homicide 33 years later. we'll have that story coming up. plus the heart-stopping video of one guy's flip on the top of a skyscraper. why is he doing a back flip on the top of a building? we'll tell you. whoa! coming up.

happy saturday everybody. 24 minutes after the hour. some quick headlines. the death of ronald reagan's press secretary, james brady, officially ruled a homicide. this means gunman john hinckley could be charged with murder. brady died monday as a result of injuries from the 1981 assassination attempt of the president. and a member of the manson family denied parole for a third time. california governor jerry brown said 71-year-old bruce davis still poses a danger to society. davis was convicted with charles manson and others in two 1969 murders. clayton, over to you. studies show over 70% of kids under 10 know the location of their parents' firearms in the house. the startling part is that

almost 40% of their parents had never even told the child where the gun was in the house. so we asked the question, if a child found a firearm, what would he or she do using a replica of a gun. these aren't real guns. we set up a play area and some hidden cameras to capture how children would react. dr. susan lipcomb is here on her observations of the entire process. doc, nice to see you this morning. >> thanks for having me. >> we're going to show you some clips and your going to analyze what we're seeing. we're going to start with two brothers, a 5-year-old an 7-year-old. we'll roll this video and have you talk about it. take a look. so these two brothers -- >> i have a question. what did you think about this gun? did you think it's a real gun or toy gun. >> real gun. >> so it was a real gun. would you want to touch it? do you want to look at it? >> no. >> how come? i'm glad you don't want to but how come you don't want to touch it. >> because --

>> did your mom teach you? did your dad teach you? how did you learn? >> my dad. >> mom and dad taught you? >> what did we see here? >> i think it's very important these were the youngest children, 5 and 7, and they were afraid of the gun. the older child said he did not trust me and it was excellent they stayed away. it was not what i expected. i expected younger children to be interested in the gun and that's not what we found. >> we heard in that video, how did you learn about that? >> they said their mother and father had taught them not to play with guns. >> not to play with them. this next piece of video tells us what? >> their father is in law enforcement and he had told us every single day he had taught them gun safety. so i expected both because of that and because they were girls that they would not touch the gun. that's not exactly what happened. >> so let's roll that video.

here's how it ended up. >> what is this? >> a gun. >> how do you use it? >> i don't know. >> let me feel. let me feel. uh-oh. >> what? >> put this down because i don't know if it's safe. >> don't touch it. >> wow. so what do we see there? the 9-year-old looks to be the adult in the room. >> right. she acts like the adult and protects her sister. first she really explored the gun. the gun was separate and in a separate box. she still went over and she pointed it at herself, she pointed it around, she did everything that you would not want a child to be doing. she was not sure because of its weight whether it was real or

not and therefore protected her younger sister who said, yeah, let me feel it. it was really surprising to me because we expect when there is warning or education that a kid will actually listen. i was trying to figure out why that happened that she didn't. >> also education, though, with ignorance in this too. if you're a parent that's educating your child about guns and you keep them safely locked up, what parent is that ignorant that will leave a gun sitting out on a chest of drawers in their house? >> there are two important things. kids will find guns everywhere. they find anything everywhere. you really have to know that we cannot predict what kids will do. from my experience as a psychologist, kids find guns and contraband all over the house, regardless of what the parent thinks. they have told me that it's locked up, that the ammo and guns are in separate places. the kids find it, play with it and come in and tell me exactly where everything is. they're good at finding and good at hiding. parents are not so good at hiding or finding. >> so parents need to do a better job. >> or they have to discuss and

think about whether they need a gun in their house. >> dr. susan lipkins, we appreciate you joining us this morning. >> thanks for having me. fox news alert, the president says u.s. air strikes are enough to stop isis but does it really sound like the terrorists are afraid? listen to this. our next guest says this is just the latest sign isis won't be stopped. and doctors told hershey would never walk again because of a debilitating disorder. just months later she proved them wrong, thanks to the help of a fitness trainer she met in a parking lot. they share their inspiring story with us coming up. this is the year you get all your ducks in a row.

everybody knows that. well, did you know pinocchio was a bad motivational speaker? i look around this room and i see nothing but untapped potential. you have potential. you have...oh boy. geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance.

we have a fox news alert. america hits isis with two more air strikes. it seems limited strikes are exactly what the terrorists want, according to some analysts, though. >> media captured this shocking message to america from a member of the islamic state. [ speaking foreign language ]

>> our next guest says if we don't act with more force, only another invasion will be able to stop isis. nice to see you this morning. >> thanks for having me. >> so boots on the ground, is that inevitable or is that the only way to stop isis? are air strikes limited going to do anything? >> only inevitable if they don't do more than what they have done. others have pointed out you need a lot more than this because of how far along isis already is. if erbil were to fall, the next stop is baghdad. i don't think anybody particularly disagrees with that. if you take the kurds out of this fight largely, then you have a government in baghdad that could fall pretty easily if

enough pressure was put on it and you would have a huge catastrophe. so is this a group that would come after the united states? if they didn't, they would be the first jihadist group in history that didn't come after america, israel and the west. >> here's what confuses me. paper after paper today has the same account of the president learning just two days ago from his advisers that kurd stan was about to fall to these lunatics. does that surprise you? >> it doesn't surprise me because the president has one thought in mind about iraq and that is to not be bush, to not fall into the trap, as he sees it, of having to get involved in a war that he views as the bad of the two wars. between iraq and afghanistan, he always thought afghanistan was the one we should be fighting and iraq was a distraction. >> dumb war he called it. >> he has no interest in doing anything in iraq and he views it all through the lens of domestic policy. but bev sewe've seen a series o

catastrophes. you also have the seizure of the mosul dam which essentially gives a wmd, sort of a poor man's wmd, but if they were to blow that dam it would destroy thousands and thousands of homes, people would die. and you also have the possibility of erbil falling. this is happening at a pace that has surprised a lot of people, the president among them, and i think that alone is shocking. >> we had pete on the show earlier, buck, and he said that it's significant that this is not a named operation. operation iraqi freedom, operation enduring freedom. do you agree, is there significance to that? is that the president trying to downplay the escalation we've seen? >> we talk about iraq all the time and he's absolutely correct that not having a no name for this mission is because they don't want it to be something people talk about. they're hoping a few strikes will allow the kurds, the peshmerga, their army, to push back against the islamic state and we won't have to worry about

that. that kind of thinking got us where we are already. there's absolutely no way a few air strikes will do anything other than what we've been told will be done. a piecemeal approach to this is going to continue to allow it to just deteriorate very, very quickly. we're not worried about a state that sponsors terrorism now, we're worried about a terrorist state. a state set up for and run by terrorists. >> josh earnest couldn't answer the question at the podium or at least he danced around it at the podium, the white house press secretary, on what's the difference here than in syria. 175,000 people killed. if this is a humanitarian crisis, where are we on syria? what's the difference? >> the main difference would be that syria actually has a pretty serious air defense capability, so us just flying planes overseer january skies a more dangerous proposition than flying over iraq. but on top of that there is no moral difference. in fact syria is a much more urgent humanitarian crisis and has been for years now. the obama administration has

done essentially nothing there. the difference in iraq i guess you'd say is there's also a government in baghdad as much as it's imperfect and there should be a political solution, they are an ally. they are an ally to the united states, as the kurds are also an ally and we should have some obligation to them. but under this administration, those obligations don't seem to mean very much. >> buck sexton, former cia officer, thanks for joining us this morning. >> good perspective there. some other stories making headlines. a fun day at a philadelphia pool turns frantic. three young kids shocked while swimming. this morning the three who are all under the age of 13 are in stable condition. city officials say crews were working on the pool's motor shortly before the incident. it's not enclosure yet what caused the shocks. you may remember back in may a similar incident while kids were swimming in miami. it's all caught on camera as parents rushed in to help. those three children were treated and released. "the fast and furious" fallout continues as the seventh

person is indicted in the murder of brian terry. two more illegals are arrested for killing javier in front of his entire family. zack taylor said this earlier. >> the border is a very dangerous place, and the more drugs and aliens get involved with coming into this country illegally, the more violence there's going to be used against the border patrol agent. and the only way to keep that from happening is to meet force with force. >> taylor says the department of homeland security is sacrificing the security of its officers for political purposes. and a philadelphia mother arrested for carrying her licensed gun across state lines now facing a sentence of 11 1/2 years. shaneen allen was in court earlier this week to face charges stemming from an incident her lawyers say is an honest mistake.

allen carried her gun into new jersey without realizing her pennsylvania permit did not apply there. when the incident first happened, she spoke to "fox & friends." >> i hope that they pardon me in this situation because i didn't know. it could happen to anybody. >> the mother of two with no criminal record hopes a trial in front of a jury using common sense will not send her to prison. and a daredevil's heart-stopping moment caught on camera. >> oh, come on, why did you do that? he nearly falls 500 feet to his death. his reaction, oh, just a very nervous laugh. he's been hurt in the past, a broken leg and a concussion, but this would have been totally different. why do people do stuff like that? >> because he's a hero.

>> kids lighting themselves on fire these days. what? >> i hope he's american. >> it's not the smartest thing ever, but neither was, i don't know, walking to the north pole. right? seriously. or inventing the submarine. >> no, he who dares wins. >> that's for the benefit of humanity. this moron -- >> no, they were also bros a little bit, just like this guy. >> what did you have for breakfast today, tucker? >> chocolate covered blueberries and nicorette. >> i've seen that guy's videos and it is nuts, but i can't stop watching it. it's amazing stuff. have you ever heard of kathleen, georgia, anyone? are you sure you're not kathleen from georgia? >> that's right, it's kathleen, georgia. >> i've lived in georgia and never lived in kathleen, georgia. take a look at your weather

maps. she said it's humid down there and she's right. it's very humid. 72 as you're waking up in atlanta just to the north of it. here's your forecast across the northeast for the day. spectacular one, today and tomorrow and even monday looking really, really nice. monday we'll start to see a few showers move in but down at the southeast this is where all the troubles are. it's humid as this woman from kathleen, georgia, was just saying and it's going to heat up and you'll see showers and thunderstorms firing. warm across texas. 100 in abilene. severe weather across western kansas and western nebraska, a few thunderstorms. mostly strong wind and some hail, possibly a small tornado or two, though. out across the west, just drier. monsoon has kind of dried up a little bit. it will return by monday across a lot of the area and bring more rain for this coming week. all right, guys, heading back to you. >> thanks, rick. good morning, kathleen, georgia. i had no idea either. 42 minutes after the hour. he lost his leg fighting for our freedom and now one marine is

protecting americans again, this time here at home. corporal robert smith says how he just made his lifelong dream of being a sheriff's deputy come true. as u.s. efforts continue with air drops of food and water to thousands of iraqi refugees stranded on a mountaintop surrounded by isis militants, u.s. military forces are keeping up air strikes on terror targets in iraq. plus hawaii in the eye of the storm. the latest on the hurricane pounding the aloha state. join us at noon. e-f-f i have co i'm l-i-s-a and i have copd, but i don't want my breathing problems to get in the way of hosting my book club. that's why i asked my doctor about b-r-e-o. once-daily breo ellipta helps increase airflow from the lungs for a full 24 hours. and breo helps reduce symptom flare-ups that last several days and require oral steroids, antibiotics, or hospital stay.

breo is not for asthma. breo contains a type of medicine that increases risk of death in people with asthma. it is not known if this risk is increased in copd. breo won't replace rescue inhalers for sudden copd symptoms and should not be used more than once a day. breo may increase your risk of pneumonia, thrush, osteoporosis, and some eye problems. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before taking breo. ask your doctor about b-r-e-o for copd. . .

listen to this story. he lost his leg in an ied explosion in iraq in 2008, but now this marine taking his commitment to serve to the next level. he was just sworn in as a county sheriff in florida, his lifelong dream. deputy robert smith joins us now. deputy smith, thanks for joining us. congratulations. >> thank you very much, how are you doing? >> i'm doing great.

you must be feeling fantastic. you were sworn in friday, august 1st, to a lifelong dream. how did you find after everything that you went through in your life the -- i don't know, the tenacity to stick with it and to accomplish this goal? >> you know, it was basically that after i was injured, i kind of came to the realization that i refused to not live my life and do the things that i wanted to do. one of the main reasons i joined the military was to aid me into getting into law enforcement. you know, i wasn't going to let the injury stop me. >> so inspiring because that physical assessment test is not easy. tell us what you had to accomplish. so many people fail this test. you having lost one leg completed it. take us through what it looks like. >> all in all the assessment test is about 400 yards of running, do a short obstacle course, drag a 150-pound dummy and you start all of this in a car. i was actually going through the academy at the time, four days a

week, on occasion it would be five. i was going and working out three to four days a week after i got out of school, working on sprints, working on conditioning, going to the gym, working on strength. it was a very strenuous process. >> one of the other member -- what did the other members of the academy think as you were going through this process? you must have been an inspiration to them? >> i think so to a couple of them. some told me i helped push them to do better. i actually got the complete opposite reaction i was expecting. everybody was so supportive i was actually blown away by it. >> you thought you would get some push back from others. what are you hearing from other veterans? you have to know an inspiration. come back, obviously we know the toll mentally this must take on soldiers returning from the war zone, the things you're dealing with, with ptsd and other things. what are you hearing from other veterans as they look up to you? >> i'm hearing a lot of good things. a lot are saying this is

awesome, this is great. this is what i want to do. i recently just met a gentleman who had to go through a limb salvage on his leg and it took him a couple of years of rehabilitation and he's looking to get past the physical assessment test as well. >> you're an inspiration to all of us. >> thank you. >> if you're thinking i can't get out of bed this morning, i'm a little, just look to you. >> thank you very much. thanks for having me. >> coming up on the show, a mexico for other four months making a wrong turn entering into mexico. he's making his plea to the president. take a listen. >> what he wants to hear obama saying, what he wants to hear the government saying they're doing for him is that they are going to pressure mexico to expedite his release. then doctors told hershey would never walk again because of a debilitating disorder but months later she proved them long thanks to the help of a fitness trainer she met in the

parking lot. they share their amazing story, next.

53 minutes after the hour. michelle suffers from fred ricks ataxia. it robbed her of her ability to walk at age 19. doctors told her she would never walk again. with the help of a trainer, she proved them wrong. check her out. she is currently training for another race. here she is with her personal

fitness trainer, kelly williams. thank you for being with us. >> good morning. >> i'm going to start with you, kelly. a perfect stranger but you decided to speak to her and offer her what? >> i saw her and her fiancee in the grocery store. i had never seen her before but i noticed a young girl, beautiful girl in a wheelchair and it broke my heart to see that. i was hurrying through the grocery store. after i was heading out to my car after getting what i needed, i noticed she was, too. i just had a very overwhelming feeling that i needed to offer her my services. i had no idea what my reason was -- >> and you're a personal trainer. you didn't have to come forward. you didn't ask for any money. it's a really neat thing you're

doing. >> and when you first started u out, were you a bit hesitant? because the doctors told you you were never going to be able to do anything like this? >> i met with several different types of physical therapists and none would really help me. i was really scared and nervous and didn't want to go. but my boyfriend was like, well, she approached us, he's like you can at least give her a shot. >> and, boy, have you taken it. you're able to cook dinner for your family now and walk up the stairs to your daughter's room. >> kelly, would you encourage other people, whatever their gifts and talents are to do something for themselves in. >> yes. it was all about taking a chance. i didn't know what her condition

was. i just knew if you try, anything is possible. our message, tichelle and i, never give up. if you take a chance and invest in someone else, i'm just overwhelmed and it's such a great feeling to be a part of it. >> and i understand you're training for one more race. what's that? >> a run coming up september 13th. >> let us know how it goes. good luck to you. >> thank you. >> thanks for being on the program today. >> thank you so much. >> thank you. >> amazing. coming up, isis gaining control of iraq saying they won't stop until they raise the flag of allah at the white house. is the president regretting his junior varsity comments? >> plus, do you have a kid heading off to college?

our expert is here to tell us how to deck out their dorm room on just a dime. take a look! ♪ abc, easy as one, two, throw

good morning, everyone. today is saturday, the 9th of august, 2014. a fox news alert. the u.s. has launched a second ground of strikes in iraq. will these strikes be enough to end the terror? >> and remember when president obama called the terror group junior varsity? that same group is taking over iraq and says they won't stop till they get here. >> and we've all probably done it, sent text messages while driving. but just how dangerous is it? we'll take you into the texting while driving simulator to show you just how deadly it can be.

"fox & friends" hour four starts now. >> thanks so much for being with us on "fox & friends" weekend. >> good to see you. >> the u.s. drops palates of food and water to stranded refugees. what can you tell us, elizabeth? >> reporter: for the first time in years the u.s. military has isn't warplanes into action in this region. predator drones have targeted and struck artillery as well as isis military vehicles. it is attempting to stop erbil from going into iraq. a spokesperson says isis

continues to gain momentum. he says there are unanswered calls for the u.s. to help them. >> to this point we have not received any u.s. assistance. isis has the american-made equipment in their hand, very technical and very effective. >> and planes have been dropping aid to thousands on top. 80% of supplies have made it to those in need. it was reiterated there will be no american troops but critics say there is an absence of strategy and long-term goals for defeating isis. >> critics do say that. we've interviewed a number of them this morning.

that has not stopped the white house from proceeding. a second round of air strikes has been completed. the question is, what is the point? ry reference to u.s. interests hoar, deep rationale for doing this or any picture of what the end game is. here's what the president said yesterday in an interview with the "new york times." listen. >> if they had done exactly what they did and we had had 10,000 troops there, that would not have prevented the kind of problems we've seen anyway. the difference is we'd have 10,000 troops in the middle of this chaos as opposed to having a much more limited number. >> seven years ago is when then candidate obama emerged and said he would get us out of these dumb wars. perhaps it remind us of the clinton years, the balkans, the

sanitized air strikes, no boots on the ground. can it work? here is his thought. >> it's why this is still a nameless operation, with no sort of strategic intent other than to protect americans and potentially provide humanitarian support. what it should be is a direct attempt to support our allies and kill and defeat our enemies. we could -- if we want to turn back the wave of isis, we'll have to do more than pinprick strikes. >> look how much more organized they've gotten. they're raising the black islamic flag all over northern iraq. >> they had a plan. >> they had a plan. what was our plan? the president's plan was to pull out of thes me, he's done so so far. but the card of hand he's been dealt has changed a little bit and governor mike huckabee was on the show earlier today and

said you play the hand of cards that you've had dealt and this is what he said, listen -- >> don't ask for the office if you don't want to do the job because the job is not going to be the job you want it to be. it's the job that it turns out to be. you deal with the crisis at hand. that's what you asked for and that's what you get paid for, not to go on vacation to martha's vineyard over the next three weeks. twin ice cream cones and bike rides on martha's vineyard he'll have an occasional conversation with ben rhodes. >> he got hit really hard for it. here's the president, who campaigned against iraq, initiating air strikes but not sufficient to deter the threat he says we need to deter. if this were any other president, what kind of press would he be getting.

if you have time, go back and take a look at the interview he did with tom friedman from the "new york times." watch friedman. friedman nods like this with this sort of bovine, supplicant way for over a minute. yes, mr. president. this guy gets a pass again and again and again. it's unbelievable. >> and whether or not he asked him the complexity with which isis is moving. did tom friedman ask him about calling them junior varsity? >> of course not. >> this organization, isis, a junior varsity? basically if suiting up was to make them look like the l.a. lakers. just because you put on the up form doesn't exactly make you kobe bryant. >> and are we just emboldening them? there's been a couple parts of a documentary that's been

released. we saw them saying they're going to try to fly the black flag in the white house. we're also seeing these children with this engrained in them to die for their cause and isis thinks these kids are going to be ruling the world. take a listen to part of this documentary. so these guys are morons obviously, mouth breathers were chin beards. but they know what they want. they want something from the united states, from president obama. tell us what your plan is,

what's your world view? what do you want to achieve? we can achieve anything. we're the united states. what we need is leadership. we need someone to tell us what the plan is. the world is hoping for that and obama is no providing it. >> you can't blame 2003. 2003 happened. the invasion happened. >> and grousing about it is not sufficient. >> the other thing is the world is interconnected. we have to understand that. dropping of the humanitarian aid gave the president some urgency with this. what is the long-term plan? why is isis so scary? we don't want another 9/11 and pair posting pictures on facebook and twitter of the twin towers and saying we're coming for you. uh! >> congress is on vacation and

the president is headed on vacation tomorrow. let us know your thoughts on this. >> as anna just put it. uh! >> we've been talking about this a long time. it hit me last night. do something about it. >> a boeing 787's engine failed during the flight over the atlantic ocean. it flew for four hours before making an imagine landing in portugal. fortunately no one was hurt. >> the death poll continuing to mount as israeli forces pummelled the gaza strip. this blast happening earlier this morning. at least 20 other targets also hit in the gaza strip.

the palestinians claiming five casualties as hamas militants continue a barrage into israel. the uptick in violence comes 4 hours after the collapse of a three-day truce between the warring sides. and mexico -- a sergeant accidentally drove into mexico. his friend talked about it. >> he's an american who fought for americans and he's badly in need of help. >> he's asking for a mistrial saying his client's rights were

violated when he wasn't given a translator. >> and the man who got his leg stuck in the train said he was amazed when he saw this video of dozens of fellow commuters rushing to save him. >> i just got caught up in the rush. i wasn't aware of how many people were witnessing the situation. until i saw the footage later on on the news. >> he also says he did not panic when he got stuck. we should all just carry around a stick of butter. >> you never know when your foot is going to get stuck. >> or if you're going to have a dry biscuit or scone. >> hawaii cleaning up and assessing the damage after tropical storm iselle. did i say it right, rick? it tore through the big islands,

winds up to 50 miles an hour and stronger. the island will avoid the wrath of hurricane -- how do you say this, julio? >> julio. >> julio. >> down by the schoolyard. rick, that is really pretty. >> all those pictures of hurricanes from up above are really spectacular shots. they look kind of peaceful. >> it's like the red storm on jupiter. >> and then incredibly damaging. the big concern when this storm was hitting the big island of hawaii, they hadn't had a storm like that so people didn't know what it would actually do. and on the eastern sea board of the u.s., the land is flat. there you have all these mountains and the wind goes much stronger. we saw a lot of damage, very

heavy rainfall and they were becoming big, gigantic, gushing rainfalls. now it's across the far western islands of hawaii. we'll see that later today and eventually that will get out of there. and we'll see the next storm, which is julio, not julio. it will be a weakening storm. we'll likely see strong swells. big shores on the north shore and additional swells there. big rain today across parts of the southeast today and some big storms later on this afternoon across parts of the high plains. >> thanks, rick. >> truce over. our next guest says we're not doing enough to support israel. >> and then bike thieves getting shamed by a 6-year-old.
