missouri, demonstrators outraged by the killing of an unarmed teenager by police. the f.b.i. now investigating. >> thanks for joining us. "fox & friends" starts now. >> good morning. it is tuesday, august 12. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. a fox news alert. the world mourning the death of a comedy legend. >> help is on the way! >> and he's dead at 63 years old. this morning new details about his death and a closer look at mental health. >> health officials converge -- confirming a spanish missionary priest who contracted ebola has died. >> the death of kevin ward jr., what police are looking at now and what it

means for tony stewart's racing future. we have that and more, but the big story, here is what we found out yesterday. what we found out yesterday was the death of robin williams jr. >> many people waking up this morning to hear the tragic news there. therefore, we begin with the death of oscar-winning actor robin williams running the news world. the star who made countless people laugh taking his own life after a battle with depression. an autopsy is scheduled for today. we're live in los angeles. what are people saying now? it is obviously so sad to hear this news today. >> the world seems heartbroken. the call came in to a 911 dispatcher in marin county. like any other, a man unconscious and not breathing. e.m.t. departments of -- e.m.t. then learned it was

robin williams, we do not know if he spent sunday night alone or who made the 911 call. a corner will perform an autopsy today testing for illicit drugs and alcohol. the cause of death is suicide by asphyxiation. neighbors, friends and fans showed up to pay respects to the man. >> he was such a sweet man and such a talent. we loved him as an actor but as a person he was such a great neighbor. he looked like he was -- he was happy, he was content. we didn't see that other side of him that might have been depressed. >> williams became addicted to cocaine in the 1970's and 1980's. after 20 years of sobriety, he checked himself into a

rehab center and then last month where he was expected to be treated for severe depression. a news conference will be scheduled for 2 p.m. in the east where we hope to learn more about his death. >> peter, you're in for steve. >> good morning. >> thought we were going to be talking about iraq. we are going to be talking about what's happening elsewhere around the world including the latest with tony stewart but this is the number-one story. >> and a sad story. everybody in america had something nice to say or a good feeling about robin williams. he's died now at the age of 63. emmy-award winning, oscar-award winning, so many memories for so many people, all kinds of movie going from "popeye" to"good morning vietnam"," his mon logs, his rat tat tat delivery. did you ever run across him

at all? >> i did run across him a few times. i had a chance to interview him. i had a chance toent view him for my book "games do count." my theme was algt -- athlet become pros. he was a cross country guy and wrestler. i got a book deal and said wouldn't it be great to have robin williams. i saw him and he said let's do it now. here's my cell number call me. he doesn't know me from anybody. he talked to me for 25 minutes, called my house. my daughter picks up, says it's for you, dad. robin williams calls. we did 25 minutes on the phone. we ran through his whole athletic career. he wasn't great but he loved competing. >> what endurance he needs to go through his comedian life and as a person. we want to give you a glimpse of this to hear those personal stories.

take a look at his work, the best of it. >> the fact that you get nervous? >> i suffer from severe dyslexia too. i was the only child on my block on halloween to go trick or trawt. here comes that williams boy, better get some fish. >> good morning vietnam! >> this is not a tent. this is rock n'roll. time to rock it from the delta to the t.m.z. is that me or an elvis presley movie? viva da nang. >> help is on the way, dear! >> mrs. sapphire! >> help is on the way! [screaming] >> oh no!

work with me. >> you're not a priest. who are you? >> i'm mark the mork. >> that is when he burst on the scene but was going to do another mrs. doubt fire. i think that was in the works. he's got four movies still going to come out. >> one thing people know is how devoted robin williams was to our military, did six tours over the course of 12 years volunteering with the u.s.o., made up to 90 thousand service men and women smile and laugh while they were giving all that they had to protect us. >> americans have reached out on twitter from the president to general ray odierno. we are saddened at the loss of robin williams, a long time supporter of our men and women overseas. >> here's a cut from robin williams when he last appeared in kuwait entertaining the troops. >> i come here for you. [cheers and applause]

>> it's good to be in a room with big bear. having just gotten out of rehab that was a good thing because i was violating my standards quicker than i could lower them. but -- [trumpet playing] >> uh oh! i'm not going to forget that. i've never had an entire audience just go forget you! can someone tell me what that was? revelie! >> the tank was going down. >> you don't have to retreat? i imagine that's not really in the orders at this moment. back up this [bleep] we've got to go! >> everybody smiles.

he was of course entertaining the troops a couple of years ago. but the sad part is his whole life from the 70's, 80's and 90's and as late as a month ago was about struggling with addiction. >> he was open with his communication with his struggles. >> he was the funniest man alive but off screen robin williams battled drug addiction, alcoholism, depression. listen. >> am i manic all the time? no. do i get sad? oh yeah. does it hit me hard? oh yeah. no clinical depression. i get bummed like a lot of people do at certain times. you look at the world and go whoa. then other times you go things are okay. >> dr. samadi joins us now, medical a team. the story of robin williams is great entertainer but personally he really struggled.

>> it almost feels like he lived two lives and he talks about getting bummed, which is also another name for this clinical depression. i think recognizing the signs and symptoms of depression, just like any other disease, just like cancer, it is a treatable disease when caught early can be treated quietly. he went on to get treatment in 2006. the problem with him, i i think, partly was the drug on top of depression and then you add alcohol to that. that is what got him into trouble. >> when you look at the statistics, 16 million adults have had a major depressive episode in the past year, 10.9 million receiving treatment, talked to a doctor or other professional about using prescription medication for depression. in that same time period. how do you suggest people deal with it and how do you differentiate from having a few bad days or rough year from something that needs to be treated? >> the signs are important. for example, if you have lack of sleep, any loss of

interest in socializing with other people, if you have feeling of guilt, that's very important. lack of energy. but the most important part of this is not interacting with other people, losing your appetite and anxiety symptoms that build up. the last stage of this thing is suicide. the sooner you recognize and break the cycle, you can save lives. this guy could have easily been with us. you take a lot of anti antidepress ant medications is not the treel treatment. you need to see a real clinical psychologist to see this. he went to rehab, that was probably the last chance we had to save this great man. laughter is the best medicine. for a lot of us who deal with cancer, we use what he taught us to be able to survive. yet he wasn't able to save his own life, which is really sad. learn about the signs and symptoms of depression and that's the best part of this. >> how often is addiction

linked to depression because you're trying to change your state; right? >> the question is which one came first, whether it was depression and because he couldn't escape from this, was laughter a way to really mask this? was it really in him and he used it as a self-defense or was it always there? then on top of it, they try to escape and the way to escape, easy ways out is to add alcohol; you forget about the problem. these are the people that use suicide as a way out because this is the last resort. the brain doesn't function well. the whole serotonin and hormonal changes is out of whack. dying is the best relief for these people, and that's how they take their lives. i wish people around them recognize this. >> let's talk about something personal in that regard. he was so self-conscious, so self-aware, so complex. some people are not that easy to get to. they don't talk about their emotions. how do we help people that we know who are in pain as

their family members, as their friends, as their colleagues? what's one thing that we can do to reach out to someone who we think may be suffering from depression today? >> i think that's an excellent point you're bringing up. and i think sometimes you really want to grab them and you want to shake them up. a lot of friends around him probably saw the signs and symptoms and thought he's not like the robin we always knew. something is up. those are the times that you want to grab the guy and say you know what, we're going to go and get treatment. the wakeup call for him was when john belushi lost his life. he used that for the next two decades to stay away from cocaine. he called and quitting the cocaine and alcohol. if you see someone that may not be aware of the signs and symptoms, stick with them. don't let them go. that's when we start losing people. >> you're ridden with such guilt if you have experienced this and you know someone who has taken their own life. ultimately if you're not a professional, are you able

to help somebody or is your job to be there for them and get them to somebody who can help? >> i had a patient in my office, a vet who came to me for neurologic issues and said doc, i'm so depressed i almost attempted to put a gun in my mouth. i said tell me about your children. two children and a wife. i shot down that practice because saving that guy's life was more important than the other people. we got him treatment. two years now he's on facebook writing positive messages, he's completely cured and you save him. every time he comes in the office, i'm telling you the truth, he's always in tears. there is no price for that. so if you know someone who is suffering from depression, don't let them loose. stick with them. get the professional, get the family involved. he should have never been alone. >> i remember mike wallace said everything. one of his good friends

suffers from depression. >> it's a sad time and we lost a great talent and we miss him. >> thank you. >> heather nauert, there's so much other news in the world. >> good morning. let's start out with a fox news alert. moments ago health officials in madrid at a hospital there confirming a spanish missionary priest has been infected with ebola and that he died. the 75-year-old was evacuated from liberia last week after he tested positive for the virus, the ebola death rate in west africa rising to 1,013. there is no licensed vaccine for the virus and now officials are saying the experimental treatment drug is running out. the remaining doses is heading to liberia to treat infected doctors. >> violence erupght for a second night -- erupting for a second night in missouri over the death of teen by a cop.

this in st. louis, ferguson. that looting and vandalism that started sunday night has stopped. the f.b.i. opening an investigation into the death of 18-year-old michael brown as civil rights leaders begin to make this a racial debate. the police officer who shot brown is expected to be identified soon. protesters say they plan more demonstrations today. tony stewart out of the driver's seat at least for now as spokesman for the sprint cup champ say there is no timetable for his return to nascar. new video coming in showing the moments his car hit kevin ward jr. on a dirt track killing him. it is ruled ward's death is the cause of massive forced blunt trauma. resign or city hall will be blown up, that's allegedly the threat being made to toronto's crack-smoking mayor and his brother city counselor doug

ford. ford saying his brother got an e-mail saying vacate city hall in 24 hours or city hall will be blown up but ford never consulted police before he revealed this threat. ford is seeking reelection in october after that short stint in rehab. and those are your headlines. >> thanks. >> 16 minutes after the hour. president obama supports the formation of what could possibly be a new government in baghdad. do you-- doug luzader live in washington. hey, doug. >> there is no question that the u.s. wasn't crazy about nowry -- about nouri

maliki. in the meantime this air campaign is going on. what we're hearing from the pentagon is their job is about to get more difficult. let's look at what these airstrikes look like. by all indications these have been pretty targets for u.s. fighter jets and drones. what the pentagon is saying isis fighters are probably catching on they can't simply operate without taking cover. >> we have seen with isil forces is where they have been in the open they are starting to dissipate and to hide amongst the people. the targeting of this is of those forces that are trying to effect a siege around the mountain. the targeting of this is going to become more difficult. let's talk about that political situation, that drama playing out in baghdad. iraq's president yesterday named a new prime minister. he will now be tasked with forming a new government and president obama voiced his support yesterday from

martha's vineyard. >> there is no american military solution to the larger crisis in iraq. the only lasting solution is for iraqis to come together and form an inclusive government, one that represents the legitimate interests of all iraqis and one that can unify the country's fight against islam. >> what was the name that president obama did not mention during those comments? nouri maliki, the current prime minister of iraq. he may end up fighting for his job. that is going to make things much more difficult perhaps for this incoming administration to take over. back to you guys. >> doug, thank you for that. >> al-maliki is leaving, the new guy is getting ready to take over. let's see who is going to be listening and get their army to fight with the stuff we gave them. 18 minutes after the hour. the rioting continues in st. louis after an unarmed teen was killed by police. what can you do when people

think police are the enemy? >> former homicide detective rod wheeler will be next to discuss. >> the tooth paste problem making headlines this morning. >> anybody in there?

patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. and many achieved remission. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. if you're still just managing your symptoms, ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, remission is possible. dunk,eady to crack, dip... it's crabfest at red lobster! the year's largest variety of crab! like new! crab lover's trio! or try new! jumbo lump crab over wood-grilled salmon. crabfest is now... but ends soon! so hurry in and sea food differently!

and killed by police. it started sunday night when a candlelight vigil for 18-year-old michael brown turned into chaos. there was riots, looting and gunfire. >> now the f.b.i. and justice department starting a federal investigation into what went wrong exactly but what can you do when people think that police are the enemy? former homicide detective and fox news contributor rod wheeler has dealt with this firsthand himself. rod, thanks for being with us. >> these situations are always, always very bad and very sad for both sides of the aisle, if you will. we have a young 18-year-old that was allegedly shot by a police officer several times. we don't know all the circumstances. the police are investigating. the f.b.i. is investigating. but at the same time we have a community of people that has a lot of animosity towards law enforcement. so what needs -- what needs to happen? what needs to go forward here? i think the police department as well as the local elected officials need to work more closely with the community to try

to stem off some of this violence out there and to create better relations, elisabeth, with the community there. >> rod, obviously the law enforcement is trying to do their job and protect people and by and large they do. when instances do occur -- and i'm not saying one did here or did not until the investigation is complete. but when something like this does happen and something is proven to be a misuse of power by police, how do you make it better and expedite that process? >> that is an excellent question. there's two things that need to happen here and i hope the police leadership is listening. the investigation pertaining to the shooting itself needs to be very swift. it needs to be quickly. you can't draw something like this out. it also needs to be very transparent so people can have that trust, so people can feel that honesty of the local police department. the police department there in ferguson is conducting their own investigation along with the st. louis county police department. again, they must instill the trust in the comownt

out there -- in the community out there, the business community out there, the faith leadership out there. after this event they have to continue to go forward and the police department must continue to protect and serve the community of ferguson. >> you've worked on the streets and sometimes trust and streets don't go together. how do you as a former police officer, how do police officers go out into the community and build that trust especially when there's very few jobs, especially when there is a sense of hopelessness in some communities based on the fact that these jobs have not been create snd how do they do that in personal way? >> that is an excellent question. many years on the police force here in d.c. had an excellent relationship with the community. you have to be honest with people, straightforward with people, transparent with people. peter, you hit on something that i think is the tip of the iceberg. i think it's more than the shooting of michael brown in ferguson. you talk about unemployment, these are the same people that voted for president obama. they still don't have jobs.

so i think all of these things come into play as we look at this case and other cases around the country. >> how should america view it when they see quick checks or convenience stores being robbed and looted? what should ordinary americans say about that? what should their response be to that? should that be allowed? should folks be allowed to kind of play out their rage and anger without any kind of police intervention? >> absolutely not. that would be obviously chaotic. we don't want that in any community. people need to work with their local officials and try to resolve these issues in a lawful manner. >> we want to thank you for being with us this morning. >> thank you, guys. >> tough narrative there. coming up we continue to follow the tragic death of comic legend robin williams. >> a family that robs together stays together. yeah, in jail.

thinking, what's he thinking about now? all of us comedians are screwed up a little bit. sometimes you need your private moments but robin was like everybody else. >> did you sense a dark side to him? he was open about the troubles he had. did you sense like richard pryor, sam kennison? >> i have to tell the truth and say yes, we knew something was different. the word loner. we know he was a loner. some comedians are like that. i'm happy to have known him. i don't think he was a personal guy to go out and hang out with people. i don't know anybody he hung out with. >> great actor, great commodean and george wall -- great actor, great comedian and for george wallace to get up as early

as he did, he had to be a special guy. >> you better believe it. good morning heaven! >> well said. >> thank you for sharing all of that with us today. >> thank you so much. >> robin williams's daughter zelda has taken to twitter to share her feelings quoting a french poet and at the bottom writing i love you, i miss you, i'll try to keep looking up. z. >> his last tweet was to her to say happy birthday. >> prior to that there was a throwback thursday of her birthday. >> heather nauert, you've had the task of keeping up with all the other major stories going on. >> got other news going on this morning. there is a north carolina guy accused of being an isis sympathizer, arrested on weapons charges at jfk airport in new york city. police say 44-year-old donald morgan was returning from an eight month stay in

punch at president obama over his handling of foreign policy specifically what she said is great leaders don't do stupid stuff is not an organizing principle and got specific when it comes to syria. is this about 2016 or is she being honest about how she was squelched under president obama? what's behind this? >> it's totally all about politics. this is hillary clinton. she is completely political. this is completely transactional. the truth of the matter, as i outlined in my book, hillary clinton was put in a bubble at the state department. foreign policy was run by president obama and his minions. hillary clinton didn't have much to say about foreign so she traveled the wold flt she -- traveled the world. she didn't have much say. now that she is coming out she is saying associated with president obama's

foreign policy is damage to go her. >> it doesn't mean hillary clinton didn't believe arming the syrian rebels was the right thing at the right time and it doesn't necessarily believe in the article when she blasted israel's critics and was dubious about the nuclear diplomacy with iran, it doesn't mean she's not sincere about that, does it? >> it doesn't necessarily mean it but at the same time you would think she was in a position of power. why didn't she say something then? why didn't she come out then? why did she not resign as secretary of state? she is were policy dimpses on a small -- policy glimpses on a small scale. it is not professional for a former cabinet member to criticize the president that they served while he's still serving but that is exactly what hillary is doing for her own sake. >> i notice in bob gates' book, bob gates writes hillary clinton in front of him said i was opposed to the surge in iraq because the president she was

facing was against iraq and she had to essentially take that position for political reasons. that would really -- that really jabs at the authenticity of her criticism. >> policy is very political for hillary clinton. that was one clear example. these are more clear examples. we don't know what she truly believes but we know this is political maneuvering looking forward to 2016 that barack obama's foreign policy isn't good for her because the world is exploding around her. hillary clinton has clearly made a calculation. i'm surprised it is this early and it risks angering the democratic party but it suggests she believes in her mind that she has shored up democratic support and basically has the democratic nomination which is kind of shocking for it to be so early. >> we'll see if the president comes out of vacation swinging back. thanks so much, dan. straight ahead, it is shark week and we have real

thanks for being with us this morning. the world and you mourning the death of oscar winning actor robin williams. while he's famous for making people laugh, behind closed doors, he struggled with addiction and depression which ultimately led him to take his own life. an autopsy is scheduled today. >> william lajeunesse is live in los angeles where about noon word got out that he had passed away. what are police saying now, william? >> reporter: well, we know how he died. we don't know y. according to the coroner, he appears to have committed suicide. local reports say by hanging. the 911 call in of a man unconscious and not breathing. five minutes later, emt's arrived to his estate north of san francisco where they found the actor dead. today the coroner will perform an autopsy and toxicology exam testing blood, urine tissue for drugs and alcohol. the preliminary cause of death is suicide by asphyxiation, or

lack of oxygen. he was last seen alive sunday night around 10:00 p.m. in the home of shares with his third wife. we don't know if he spent sunday night alone and who made the 911 call. while the family asked for privacy, neighbors, friends and family showed up to pay their respects with flowers and candles to remember the man who made everyone laugh. >> very sad. >> he was really very, very kind and always willing to say hi. i'm shocked that he's gone because he was always so up and so friendly and just robin. >> reporter: williams became a cocaine addict in the '80s when he rose to fame. but he stopped after the death of john bluishy and the birth of

his first child. then 20 years after sobriety, he checked into a rehab center. in minnesota he was expected to remain for several weeks battling severe depression. the sheriff office scheduled a news conference where we hope to learn more details in his death. back to you. >> all right. again, unconfirmed reports it was a hanging. unbelievable. three minutes after the top of the hour. the last time we were referencing him on the show was throwback thursday. everyone was talking about throwbacks to when you were a little kid. robin williams had a throwback thursday item of his own that we aired and it said happy birthday to miss zelda ray williams. a quarter of a century ago today, but always my baby girl. and he had a picture of him holding her as an infant. >> that's right. adorable shot there. his daughter tweeted this, she tweeted a poem, you alone have

known the stars as no one else. and one of the stars, i shall be laughing. when you look, you only you, will have stars that can laugh. that she wrote for her father after obviously hearing the news. she said, i love you. i miss you. i'll try to keep looking up. >> he started out as a mime on the streets of new york, was trained classically in julliard and brought so much happiness to so many people around the world. let's take a look at some of the very best of robin williams on television and in the movies. >> this is there some reason you don't get nervous? >> i suffer from severe dyslexia. i was the only child on halloween to go trick or trout. here comes that young williams boy again. better get some fish. good morning, vietnam! hey, this is not a test.

this is rock'n'roll. time to rock it from the delta to the dmz! viva danang! >> oh, god! he's choking here! >> oh, no. i killed the bastard. >> mrs. doubtfire, help! >> help is on the way, dear! >> mrs. doubtfire! >> help is on the way! one more time, dear! work with me! >> you're not a priest! who are you? >> i am mort from ork! >> and that character started out in "happy days" and went to his own series and he began his path to superstar dom. >> never failing. you told the story of having a conversation with him on the phone and i had the great privilege of getting to know him through whoopie goldberg and

barbara walters. when he would come by, he was so funny in person and so quick witted. he blamed me for the time in 2011 when he got pulled over for riding a bike in new york city. watch. >> my bike and i wasn't dressed in bike clothing. i had a single speed track bike and i had on a clothing that makes me look like a terrorist or crack dealer. no one else was on the sidewalk. trying to get down to the bike path. all of a sudden whoop, whoop. i'm on a bike, wow. i didn't know there was a new regulation in new york where you can't ride a bike on a sidewalk. >> i got hit on a sidewalk. >> then that's why. it's the law because her. >> and the laughs continued after that. he had such an inclusive manner and a way of making everyone feel loved and so happy. he never gave up on making people smile. >> incredible talent. you mentioned "happy days."

i understand when he went for the tryout on that show, gary marshall, the producer, said take a seat. and so what he did is he stood on his head and they said no, we got to hire this guy. incredible career. it spanned over four decades and good morning vietnam was just one of the highlights of his incredible career. >> i work for a living, airmen. you will address me as sergeant major dickerson. >> yes, sergeant major dicker dickerson. he reminds me a lot of donna reed, especially around the eyes. >> we're joined by one of robin williams' first agents. michael, that began working together right around the time of this film. michael, how did -- first off, how did you sign robin williams? who gave you the heads up that this guy might be available and he's got some talent? >> well, hello, everybody, first of all.

>> good morning. >> second of all, to answer that question, i happened to be in thailand at the time visiting another client on a set. i got a call from the head of creative artist agency at the time where i worked and he said, you got to go to puket and visit robin williams who is shooting "good morning vietnam." barry levinson was a client of ours and he was directing the film. and he said, barry's in the middle of this. he set this all up. go take it from here. so i thought, unfortunately, my ignorance at the time, i thought i could drive to puket. but i couldn't. there were no bridges. so i had to fly there, which i did. i met robin on the set of "good morning vietnam." >> what kind of guy was he? we know what kind of performer he was. what was he like when you saw him that day? >> he was robin williams at his

best. he was always on. he was a gentleman, a real gentleman, finest, funniest man i've ever known. >> he loved our troops. he loved those who served and he served back. over 90,000 servicemen and women got to smile and laugh because of him as he visited them on uso tour. six of them all told over the course of 12 years. here he is, a look at him in kuwait. >> i come here for you. it's good to be in a room here having gotten out of rehab, that's good choice. i was siting my standards quicker than i could lower them. [bugle sound]

>> oh, oh. i'm not going to forget that. i've never had an entire audience that goes forget you! can someone tell me what that was? revelie! it wasn't retreat, was it? the flag was going down, okay. but you don't have to retreat? i imagine that's not really in the orders at this moment. back up the [ bleep ]! we got to go! >> incredible talent and overseas as well. michael, when you were pitching robin williams for a role in a movie or television show, what would you have to say about him that people didn't know already? >> well, to be honest with you, nothing. he was robin williams. people knew him.

it just made a lot of sense. he made a lot of sense for anything that he did. anything that people wanted him for. no matter whether it was comedy or drama, he made a lot of sense for it. >> right. michael, real quick, one thing about robin williams, he worked a lot. as we look through all the films he did, all the different characters he played, where did he get that work ethic from and what was it like representing somebody that wanted one movie after another? >> well, robin always thought that he'd never work tomorrow, so he had to keep working and keep working. i think it truly was his life blood just to keep working and keep people laughing and for him to stay on his toes and keep people on their toes. i think that was his work ethic

and it was just to always keep going because you never knew when it might end. he was always driven by that. >> wow. i want to share this picture with everyone who hasn't seen it yet. this is the last picture, one of the last pictures that robin williams was in. it was posted by that dairy queen worker. we would not have known that he went to minnesota when he called a tuneup on his rehab as hazelton if he didn't agree to take this picture. for us who didn't get to know him intimately like you did, i see the sadness in that picture. do you? >> well, i can't really see the picture, to be very honest with you. >> okay. you don't have the monitor? >> i don't. i'm sorry. >> that's okay. >> i can only imagine what it might be. as a matter of fact, i'm looking at it a little bit right here. i can see it. he's obviously with a dairy queen worker, i believe?

>> yep. >> and that's him. he would take a picture with somebody, with anybody, with anybody that wanted it. i guess there was always a lot of sadness behind those eyes. but i'm going to be honest with you, i never experienced that. i heard about it, but i never experienced it. i just always experienced the really good times and the nonstop robin williams and it was an honor and pleasure to experience all of that. >> we all benefited from his work ethic and devotion to making everybody smile. michael, we thank you for being with us today. >> thanks. >> a pleasure, thank you. 13 minutes after the hour. heather nauert is here. a lot going on. you're going to bring us some other headlines. >> great to see you. i've got news from overcease. it's another fox news alert. moments ago, health officials at a madrid hospital confirming a spanish missionary priest infected with ebola has now died. he was 75 years old and he was

evacuated from liberia last week after he tested positive for that virus. the ebola death toll in west africa now rising to 1013. there is no licensed vaccine for that virus and officials are saying the experimental drug is running out. the remaining doses are already on the way to liberia to treat some infected doctors there. then another fox news alert. u.s. fighter jets carry out more air strikes on isis terrorists in iraq, but a top pentagon official saying that despite easy targets, the strikes are having very little impact. also a political battle is brewing as well. iraq's president naming a new prime minister yesterday. he would take over for maliki, but maliki is refusing to abide by that decision. president obama has given his support to the new leader. we will watch this as it develops. one investigation into kevin

ward's raceway death has a new angle to it this morning. police in upstate new york obtained a new video showing the moment that tony stewart's car hit and killed kevin ward on a dirt track last saturday. a forensics team is analyzing the footage. this as an autopsy reveals that ward's cause of death was from massive blunt trauma. a sheriff's department reiterates they do not believe there was any criminal intent on stewart's part. then listen to this, souvenir and it's leaving a bad taste. these dishes feature a pattern with new york skylines from when the twin towers stood tall. the retailer has sold them since well before 9-11. the port authority is now demanding that they stop selling them, saying they're unfairly benefitting from the terrorist attack. these exact same dishes are sold at the twin towers museum for a higher price. they're offering a employees a

10% discount. those are your headlines. that is an iconic skyline. so many people know those dishes. >> they've been selling for a long, long time. much before 9-11. >> i don't think they have much of a case. 15 minutes after the hour. coming up, rage boiling over after the shooting of an unarmed teen-ager in st. louis. the racial claims from the community. and you have seen it all over the internet. the ice bucket challenge that's supposed to be raising money for lou gehrig's disease. everyone is doing it, but is it raising any money? we'll look at it. >> gonna blow!

time for news by the numbers. $845,000. that's how much the d.e.a. improperly paid an amtrak secretary over a 20-year period to obtain confidential information on passengers. they could have obtained the same information for free through a law enforcement network. and $2 million. that's how much the u.s. postal service lost this spring despite charging consumers more money to send mail. the agency said it would also have to default on a congressionally maenades dated payment for health benefits for future retirees. >> going well there. >> finally. nearly 200. that's how many elected officials in louisiana are being forced out of office for being too old. a new law states any constable or justice of the peace must retire once they hit the age of 70. >> is that fair? the president taking time out of his vacation in martha's vineyard to speak out on the growing turmoil in iraq.

>> this new iraqi leadership has a difficult task. it has to regain the confidence of its citizens by governing inclusively if taking steps to demonstrate its resolve. >> president obama referencing the ousting of al-maliki. >> it showed signs of hope for a stronger u.s. stance in iraq. but was it enough? joining us is fox news contributor who joined missions while serving there, captain pete hegseth. are you optimistic that politically things are heading in the right direction in order to fight for their future? >> well, yesterday i felt there was some optimism yesterday on the political and military front. it felt like for the first time this president put on his foreign policy big boy pants and said this is a real problem that we've got to deal with. you've got more strikes against isis in the north. you've got weapons through the c.i.a. going to the kurds as well who are under siege and long-time allies of ours and then finally got an acknowledgment that the future of iraq is probably not in the

hands of maliki. something this administration abdicated for years. we got to this point because this president and this administration took their eye off both the political and military ball. so good developments yesterday about acknowledging yo-yo political threats in iraq, but too little and coming very late. >> can that fighting from iraqi forces, as indicated by the president, he said -- he seemed to say they have to do it on their own. can that happen without our commitment and involvement? >> not right now. no. it's going to take commitment to the north to deal with isis on the front lines and then finding those iraqi forces out of baghdad loyal to a new government not backed by al-maliki. more moderate elements, providing air support and intelligence on the ground operators to guide that air support is what's going to be necessary to push back isis 'cause these initial attacks against them in the north are a good first step, but they're not going to grade them to the point where we roll back their advances. it just keeps them off the gates

of the capitol of the kurdish region. so not enough to turn the tide, but an american personnel ultimately would be the game changer. >> let's talk turkey on this. even with a coherent responsible leadership that we find acceptable in iraq, if we don't as a country take on this issue of isis in a strong, robust, forthright way, of president telling the truth about that threat, what's going to happen? >> well, what's going to happen is you've got an environment in iraq right now that looks even worse, frankly, than a postpre9-11 afghanistan. you've got an organization with our weapons with robust funding and that said directly that they seek to strike the american homeland, creating their own califate. they're expanding and empowered. this is a threat to us. we need to address it and come alongside the iraqis. >> is this the same isis that was referred to by the president as jv?

>> yes, it was. apparently they've traded in their j.v. jerseys for our own surface to air missiles and tanks. something we should be concerned about. >> turns out they're better than the lakers who they were teamed with. pete, here is the biggest question, we don't want to put boots on the ground. i get that so far. but do you think the iraqis that you helped train and your buddies help train are capable of being the 200,000-man army to take back these major cities with our air protection? >> there are certain divisions within the iraqi army, like the 1st division, others that were partnered with that we know are more multi ethnic, more competent, less likely to be just aligned with the shia elements and would be and could be capable of pushing out from baghdad and providing more support. so they're there, it just needs the right person to determine the intelligence to partner with. >> that whole laying down the weapons and running didn't go so well for us. >> it didn't help with the im, no. >> thanks so much.

>> i have a cold. >> media is pouring out tributes to the late oscar winning actor robin williams. celebrities sharing memories and moments on twitter and facebook alike. >> ainsley earhart has been following it all morning. tell us what's going on out in the twitter world and facebook and what people are saying. >> so many people are making comments this morning, peter. robin williams, a comedic icon, talented actor, a man who shared his gift with the world is now gone. but of course, not forgotten. by many fans and those who even knew him. henry winkler tweeted this, robin williams was like no

other. to watch him create on the spot was a privilege to behold. robin, you are an angel now. rest in peace. sally field said this, he always lit up when he was able to make people laugh and he made them laugh his whole life long. tirelessly. he was one of a kind. there will not be another. please, god, let him now rest in peace. chevy chase said this: robin and i were great friends, suffering from the same little known disease, depression. i never could have expected this ending to his life and to ours with him. and then nasa tweeted, good morning, discovery. robin williams awakened space shuttle crew in 1988, #relationshiprobin williams. and here is that special moment. >> good morning, discovery! >> that line, a play off of his most memorable quote in "good morning vietnam." here is a scene from "good will

hunting" that landed him an academy award. >> you're terrified of what you might say. >> a fan in boston turning that bench that he is sitting on in the movie into a memorial now. the fan bringing flowers to the bench and then writing on the ground in chalk, your move, chief. then he traced his feet to represent where williams was sitting on the bench. robin williams dead this morning at the age of 63, leaving foot prints on the hearts of all of us. back to you. >> thank you for bringing us all of that. we'll be reading your tweets and facebook posts all morning long. >> you have two good ones. one facebook post. you had another one. if you served in the military and you interacted with him, we'd love to hear your interaction. what he was like on stage. >> can i add one more? how did he improve your life?

how did a role he played make you happier in your life? wish he had been happier in his life. >> we'll continue to read those as you send them in. more chaos in missouri town after a teen was shot and killed by police. fox news reporter mike tobin has been following the story. mike, more protests being planned for today? is that true? >> reporter: some of them are unplanned. overnight what we saw are demonstrations form up, disperse and form up again. most of the demonstrations tended to center around the ransacked shell, the quick trip convenience store which was looted in the sunday protest. police in riot gear did fire tear gas and rubber bullets into the crowd of demonstrators, which caused them to deck percent and -- disperse and anger others. the demonstrations are an angry reaction to the shooting of an 18-year-old michael brown, this college-bound high school graduate was stopped by police on saturday afternoon.

police say brown shoved the officer back into his police cruiser and teamed to grab the officer's weapon. a shot was fired in the car and shots were fired outside, killing brown. that's the police version. a family attorney says brown was executed in broad daylight. >> he would be chased and shot and then when he puts his hands up that the police who are supposed to protect him reapedly shoots -- repeatedly shoots him. >> two things need to happen here and i hope the police leadership is listening. the investigation pertaining to the shooting itself needs to be very swift. it needs to go quickly. you can't draw something like this out and it also needs to be very transparent so people can have that trust. >> reporter: the u.s. department of justice is conducting an investigation that will run concurrent to what the local police are doing. there was more violence last night. a shoe store was looted on the other side of town.

police cannot say that's related to the demonstration. also there was a big fight that broke out in a shopping mall in st. louis. police say that was not related to the demonstration. guys, back to you in new york. >> thank you. heather, you have headlines for us. we have so much happening this morning. >> yep. a lot going on. new story about the irs and those missing e-mails from lois lerner. the irs is now saying it did everything it could to save lois lerner's missing e-mails. this after a court order demanded the agency address her damaged hard drive. new testimony, one i.t. expert said it had critical problems that could have been electronic or mechanical and he was simply unable to fix it. what happened to a fat man elmo and mini mouse band together? they form a labor union. that's right. the "new york post" reporting this morning that the costume characters in times square are now banding together to get better treatment. this comes after police posted signs telling tourists that all

those tips that they pester you for are simply optional. the people behind the masks are saying that they've been earning tips for years and are trying to make an honest living. okay. stop bugging me and my kids when we're coming through times square. okay? some terrifying moments caught on camera at a train station in london as a stroller with a toddler strapped inside goes onto the tracks. this happened when a man left the stroller by a staircase at a station, a gust of wind blew it onto the platform and onto the tracks right there. you can see the mom as she dashes to get that child to safety. a train was coming moments away. police are looking for the parents to simply check on the child's condition. oh, how frightening. oh, boy, you saw it yesterday with hasselbeck right there. this is all taken social media by storm. the ice bucket challenge. we showed you elisabeth yesterday.

you to the weather conditions across the country because today we have a storm system that is leaving parts of the great lakes. yesterday produced all kinds of flooding across portions of michigan, including the city of detroit. it's packing a punch in terms of moisture and now we have flash flood watches that have been issued across portions of the northeast, including right here in new york city where locally more than four inches of rain will be possible. that's especially true as we head into later today and also into tomorrow. ahead of the storm system we're going to be noticing some showers and storms firing up across parts of pennsylvania, west virginia, and also the state of virginia and maryland. out there we have the risk for severe weather, even possible tornadoes today and across portions of the pacific northwest where we have a high fire danger. we do also have the risk for some severe weather, lightning is going to be a big concern out here for possibly sparking new wildfires. temperature wise, hot as usual across parts of texas, oklahoma. highs widespread there in the 90s. highs only in the low 70s for

places like chicago and across the midwest. let's head back inside. >> thanks. coming up, to say this woman is happy would be an understatement. >> (screaming). >> what in the world caused this outburst of pure joy? we're going to tell you. >> brian is visiting town. >> that could be it. our very own kevin mccarthy was lucky enough to sit down with robin williams a number of times. he joins us to reflect on the comic's death in just a moment. >> i don't know, boo. you probably can't even get us out of this cage. looks like we'll have to find a way out. >> excuse me? are you looking at me? did you rub my lamp? did you wake me up? did you bring me here? and all of a sudden you're walking out on me? i don't think so! s not rightli now! you're getting your wishes!

"mrs. doubtfire," but then see him in" dead poet society," he transcended all genres and not many actors are able to do that. for me, going back in his career, he was nominated for four academy awards. he won for "good will hunting." he was nominated for "fisher king." everything he did on screen was just as incredible as offscreen. all the work he did with the uso, he would travel to iraq and afghanistan and kuwait and he would entertain the troops. that, to me, i love the idea of a celebrity use -- him using his celebrity for good. people like gary sinise do the same thing. i found that wonderful he was that person off screen as he was on screen. for me, i had so many personal experiences with him. i had the honor of sitting down with him and chatting with him. but he was one of those actors that you meet a loft comedians in real life and they're never really as funny as they are in person as on screen. he was always, always on. he was always funny in person.

his brain was always going and he was such a smart guy. he trained at julliard. avenues brilliant actor. i want to share a couple moments i had with mr. robin williams. check this out. >> there are female animated characters that people can have crushes on them. i think it's totally cool. i had a crush on jasmine. >> recently you have to say jessica rabbit. a lot of the warner brothers. and the text avery cartoons. >> do you ever, like, sneak into a movie and watch your own film? >> i did years ago. i watched "aladdin" which was kind of wonderful. it was like gulliver's travel. i saw parents laughing with a bunch of kids. for a comedy, that's great thing. with drama, it's not. >> your one of the great comedic actors of our time. what is that different aspect of you that you think makes you different from everybody else? >> i don't know. i've always done weird things, you know, weird characters, kind

of drawn to them. sets me apart i think. just the idea of -- just always being willing to try something different. >> i tell people all the time that obviously my parents raised me. but movies were such a huge part of my upbringing and the character that he played, mrs. doubtfire, to me was a film that i watched over and over and over again. you can actually see his dramatic angle in that film as well. i don't know about y'all, but for me, mrs. doubtfire, patch adams, everything he did was wonderful. if you really want to see one of his best dramatic roles, i recommend "one hour photo." he was proud of that. every time i talked to him, he always brought it up. he loved getting into the dramatic characters. >> that's great note for everybody. also the films in the dock that he was working on, i believe they were set to be completed there. what can you tell us? >> yeah. the one i'm looking forward to is "night at the museum. the secret of the tomb," that comes out in december of this year. there were four films currently

in the works that will be coming out hopefully -- i'm not sure of the status of all the completions of them. but i know that that particular movie will be coming out in december. the movie i just saw him on the carpet for, that was for a different one. >> one independent movie is coming out. "phase 4", world release. it's done by the same producers of "captain america." we'll get a chance to see him. >> thank you for having me on to speak about him. he really touched my life in so many ways. >> best homage i heard. incredible. >> thanks. coming up straight ahead, george clooney's new wife, are they married yet? about to be new wife. asked to be on u.n. world crime pam -- panel. >> from the gridiron to to the

he spent time sacking quarterbacks on the field and now he's tackleing politics, but he's not happy with the effect democrats' policies have had on african-american families. so what will he do to help turn things around? joining us is a congressional candidate and former nfl linebacker gary cobb. welcome. >> pleasure being here. >> so what did we get wrong? everything in the country here, you're saying you looked at democrats' policies and they actually hurt black americans. >> it gave an incentive, especially poor families, for the father to leave, for the father not to be there. you didn't get the help that you would get if the father is not there. the father is such an integral part of the family and that's why you've got so many young african-american kids in jail because they didn't have a father growing up and it's just decimated the communities throughout the cities. you can see it. and they gave an incentive for the father to leave and it

really has hurt -- been very detrimental to african-american families. >> as a black man, why are you a republican? >> that's one of the reasons right there. as a kid, i remember when those programs started and i saw some of my aunts and uncles break up and they would come to our house. my dad would show them the door. said man belongs with his family and that's the reason i'm sitting here now is because my dad was there. we had discipline. he cared about us. i see so many kids, even in the nfl, so many youngsters where their dad wasn't involved in their life. so they lacked that direction. so i volunteered for years at the youth sunday center in philadelphia where kids are detained, detention center. and to tell them and love them and say somebody cares about you and the biggest thing miss not guilty their life is their dad. >> so the republican principle is what you're standing on now. we thank you for being here. we haven't heard back from your

opponents, we invited him on. >> we need the help. >> thanks for being with us today. >> my pleasure. still ahead, we are following the surprise death of robin williams at the age of 63. at the top of the hour, suzanne somers remembers the comic legend. can this decadent, fruit topped pastry... ...with indulgent streusel crumble, be from... fiber one. new fiber one streusel.

good morning, vietnam! hey, this is not a test. this is rock'n'roll! >> america mourning the loss of that voice today, this tuesday, august 12. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. we are following a fox news alert. the man who brought us so many lovable characters is gone. >> help is on the way, dear! >> help! >> help is on the way! >> robin williams dead at 63 years old. this morning new details about the apparent suicide and a closer look at mental health. and brand-new air strikes this morning, but are they doing anything to stop the terrorists? is the iraq worse off now than it was under saddam hussein? laura ingraham here live this hour with that. and the united nations gets

snubbed big time thanks to george clooney and his bride to be. i'm going to unfold and unwind that plot. mornings are better with friends. >> good morning. we begin with the death of oscar winning actor robin williams, the news stunning the world. the star made countless people laugh, taking his own life after a battle with depression. an autopsy scheduled for today. william lajeunesse is live in los angeles. what is the very latest? >> reporter: shock and sadness in the entertainment world. the 911 call came in at 11:55 monday morning of a man unconscious and not breathing. five minutes later, five minutes later, paramedics arrived to his estate where they pronounced him dead at the home he shared with his third wife. according to the coroner, he appears to have committed

suicide, unconfirmed local reports say it was by hanging. we do not know if he spent sunday night alone or who made the 911 call. today the coroner will perform a toxicology exam testing blood, urine and tissue for prescription and illicit drugs. he rose to fame on "mork and mindy." the wake-up call came when john belushi died and the birth of his first child in 1983. after 20 years of sobriety, he checked himself in to a rehab center in 2006 and again last month at a clinic in minnesota where he's expected to remain for several weeks fighting severe depression. while the williams family has asked for privacy, neighbors, friends and fans showed up to pay respects with flowers and candles to remember the man who made everyone laugh. >> he was such a sweet man and

such a talent. we loved him as an actor, but as a person, he was such a great neighbor and he looked like he was happy, he was content. we didn't see that other side of him that might have been depressed. >> we should find out more details today about his death when the sheriff holds a news conference scheduled for 2:00 p.m. eastern time. 11:00 o'clock pacific. back to you. >> thank you. his wife actually said this morning, i lost my husband and best friend, while the world lost one of its beloved artists and beautiful human beings. i'm utterly heart broken. he may have struggled with addiction and depression, but we want to take a look at the man we knew on the screen and stage. >> and first off on his instagram that we saw when we were talking about this on throwback thursday, here he is on the july 31 wishing his daughter zelda a happy 25th birthday. he posted it on #tbt.

instagram of himself holding her when she was a little kid. zelda did not respond directly, but she would later. >> after his death she wrote this on twitter, a french poet wrote you will have the stars as no one else has them and one of the stars i shall be living. in one of them i shall be laughing. so it will be as all the stars were laughing when you look at the sky at night. you, only you, will have stars that can laugh. and underneath her touching words were this, quote, i love you. i miss you. i will try to keep looking up. >> and oscar award winner and emmy award winner, a golden globe award winner, one of the most prolific actors in hollywood who brought happiness to everyone in this country. no one has a bad thing to say about robin williams. only a lot of happy memories. let's share some. >> i suffer from severe dyslexia, too. i was the only child on my block on halloween to go trick or

trout. here comes that young williams boy again. better get some fish. good morning, vietnam! hey, this is not a test. this is rock'n'roll! time to rock it from the delta to the dmz. is that me or does that sound like an elvis presley movie? >> oh, god! oh, god! he's choking here! >> oh, no. i killed the bastard. >> mrs. doubtfire, help us! >> help is on the way, dear! >> mrs. doubtfire! >> help is on the way! hold on. one more time, dear. oh, no. work with me! come on! >> you're not a priest! who are you? >> i am mork from ork. >> wow. he won three golden globes, "good morning vietnam" and "the fisher king" and won an oscar.

he's been battling depression and hasn't been quiet about it. he's been talking about it. he's also battling addiction. he's been very forward about it. he does a lot of standup mocking himself and how tough it is to get off drugs. i thought he said something astounding. he said people do cocaine to speed up and feel better. he said, i used to do cocaine to calm down. he used to have the opposite effect. many people addicted to drugs say the drugs have an opposite effect. you're doing it to try to change your state. >> here is what he had to say in 2006. >> my manic all the time? no. do i get sad? oh, yeah. does it hit me hard? oh, yeah. no clinical depression. no. no. i get bummed like i think a lot of us do at certain times. you look at the world and go whoa. then other moments you look and go oh, things are okay. >> he's not alone. 16 million adults ages 18 or older had a major depressive

episode according to reports in the last year. 10.9 million receive treatment. >> astounding number. we think he's isolated. dr. samati of the fox news medical a team was on this morning and he really brought it home in terms of our own lives. dr. samati. >> recognizing the symptoms, signs and symptoms of depression, just like any other disease, just like cancer, these are treatable diseases that when caught early can be easily treated. you take a lot of these antidepressant medications, that's not the right treatment. you need o see a real clinical psychologist to deal with this. unfortunately in july of this year, he went into rehab, that was probably the last chance we had to save this great man. laughter is the best medicine. for a loft us who deal with cancer. we use what he taught us to survive, and yet, he wasn't able to save his own life. >> he went to the addiction treatment center. but when asked about it, he said i did not fall off the wagon.

he did it for a tuneup. his series was just canceled. he had been down for a little bit. but he was doing it for a tuneup. that's what he said. but maybe that wasn't exactly true. >> and overcame so many things for so long. drug, alcohol, and aortic valve replacement. >> in 2009. >> some years ago. and just one movie after the next, one show after the next, one guest spot after the next, one voiceover after the next. and he kind of became emlet matic in some waives our american culture. you remember the suspenders that he wore as mark? so many people have been writing in about mork. that became a cultural phenomenal. >> the irony is that he was remedy for so many people as we said. those going through a tough time would turn to his work, turn to his comedy, turn to his drama to really etch into their hearts. this is a man who, as we hear from close friends, did struggle

in those quiet moments, but chose in that struggle to continue to give and give of himself to so many, including those who serve our nation. he went on over six tours for the uso, over the course of 12 years. 90,000 service members got to have their hearts lifted because of his presence. this is a man who continued to give even when he was in the quiet moments suffering. >> so as he heads to minneapolis, he was doing it quietly. he goes into a dairy queen, the story goes and the person behind the counter recognizes him. she says, can i take a picture? and he does, knowing probably on some level that i should say no to her otherwise word will get out. they take the picture and she puts it on instagram. the story goes viral that what's he doing there? then he comes out and says i'm going in for a tuneup. here we are two weeks later and he's dead. >> you mentioned he looks sad in that picture. he does look disconsoleconsolat.

he kind of looks thinner than we've seen him in a while. but he was in so many life-affirming roles. "patch adams," "awaken awakening." >> except pop eye. >> it was a bomb, but not a bad movie. >> the genie, of course. he made us happy. >> he sure did. heather nauert, i know a lot of times you read the news and you can't make us happy. but you have to make us smarter. that's your mission. >> i'm trying to make you happy this morning. let's start in iraq. that's a tough situation. a fox news alert for you now. u.s. fighter jets carry out more air strikes on isis terrorists in iraq. but a top pentagon official says despite the fact that they're easy targets, these strikes are having little impact on isis. iraq's president just naming abdadi as the new prime minister, taking over from

al-maliki. but al-maliki is refusing to resign. this is a very interesting story and it is developing really by the minute. in the meantime, back here at home, there's a guy from north carolina who is now accused of being an isis sympathizer. he was arrested on weapons charges at jfk airport in new york city. police believe that 44-year-old donald may may have been running guns for that terror group. a lot going on today. she was killed by sunbathing in her very own driveway. police in syracuse, utah say that 15-year-old majerle hamlin was listening to music on her ipod and didn't hear the garage door open behind her. her older sister started backing up the family's truck, she did not see her in the driveway and ran over her little sister. she died in the hospital from severe head trauma and brain damage. police consider a new angle in the kevin ward raceway death, another driver is saying that tragedy could have been avoided

all together. police in upstate new york have now obtained a brand-new video showing the moment that tony stewart's car hit and killed kevin ward last saturday. a forensic team is now investigating that footage. this as an autopsy reveals that massive blood trauma caused his death. the sheriff's department continuing to reiterate they do not believe that there was criminal intent on stewart's part. another driver racing that night says that he saw ward on the track, quote, as clear as day. and only tony knows exactly what happened. the future mrs. george clooney snubbing the united nations. the u.n. wanted to put her, the international lawyer, on a commission to examine the possible war crimes in gaza, but she is simply too busy. she said she's honored, but because of existing commitments, eight other legal cases, she can't take on the role. she's 36 years old. she would have been the youngest ever on one of these panels and some are saying the u.n. was just trying to inject hollywood

in this. >> she probably knew she shouldn't be doing it. >> you know what did work? we looked up and we hoped, we said is laura ingraham here? if she is, please walk down the hall. we mind melded you to the couch. >> i wanted to be here. great to see you. >> i watched you on the sunday show over the weekend. i think you had one of the great lines of the week, you looked at iraq and said man, this is worse than when saddam hussein was in charge. >> i'm focusing on what's happening to the christian community throughout the middle east. when we went into iraq, there were about 1.2 to 1.8 million christians living through nineveh, those that go back to the 1st century in 1200-year-old churches being destroyed. that's bad. but when the eyes of little boys are being burned out inside

their heads and those pictures are flooding the internet, propaganda purposes, it's fairly startling. that was not happening for the most part under saddam. horrible person he was, but the christian community was able to live in relative peace. that's a troubling development. obviously today the news you just reported, our air strikes are having limbed effect. this is a different type of enemy. isis is not al-qaeda in the arabian peninsula. this is a much better funded and much better organized eny, yet the american people don't have the appetite for another war. >> tens of millions of dollars behind this organization. this is called the j.v. team by our president. what did you think of his statement that the iraqi military will have to do this on their own? >> we know they're not capable of doing on their own. some of our air strikes are destroying american humvees that were left behind and then seized by isis. i was there in iraq for just a very brief period of time for about a week or so in 2006.

i was watching some of the training that was going on. you can't really tell, you're watching, it looks fine. but it takes a lot to become a warrior, a soldier. and again, we have these very idealistic ideas that we can go into a complicated area such as iraq and put the pieces of the puzzle back together. it's exceedingly difficult if not impossible to do. >> as you know -- >> especially with barak obama, who left behind no strategy. >> absolutely. but before the surge, there is no way the surge is going to work and it worked. by the way, president obama and vice president biden may have got a lot of votes because they said look how i left iraq, one of my greatest things i ever did. he left all the troops. we looked at what we did with the kurds. gave them a no fly zone. they turned into a flourishing community, capitalistic society. they had fighters. let's said let's see the shiite and sunni do that. we have to supply the kurds, don't you agree? >> absolutely. i think -- we have an obligation to these people now.

we went in with the best of intentions. everything is 20/20. we look back. but we have an obligation to iraq. i don't think we should go into a long-term war in iraq. i don't think we should go back -- >> not for iraq, but our enemy is isis. >> isis, is it really an existtension threat? >> you hear these phrases thrown around that would justify going in in a long-term fashion, another war in iraq. they have to be careful about that. we have to be careful that we just don't blow them off and say, oh, this is j.v. team, no worries. we have to be careful not to get up to this point where we have no options but to go in on the ground. >> hasn't there been a delusional foreign policy, ignored -- >> what foreign policy? >> ignore christians' termination, ignore discrimination against minority groups, and then say, we've got to focus on inclusiveness in iraq. >> these people aren't inclusive. it means nothing. but what we do know is when the president wants to get really tough, he does get tough.

gets tough against the tea party. he goes on a national tour to push whether it's contraceptive mandate or other issue locally. he's good at that. >> here is what's different. hillary clinton now sounds like dick cheney. >> she sounds like john mccain. >> how is he going to handle an enemy from his own party who he said he was so tight with when they gave that lovey dovey. >> i don't think there is any love lost between the clintons and obamas. i don't think that hillary clinton's criticism is going to transform barak obama into a war-time president. >> will it start a mass exodus of democrats behind hillary clinton? >> are you saying her speech is more about 2016? >> she's much more hawkish than she is. i think hillary clinton and jeb bush have a similar world view when it comes to foreign policy.

but the idea that barak obama is going to turn on a dime because the clintons criticizing him? i don't see that. i just don't see that. >> what brings you to new york? me, elisabeth? peter? >> i went to a premiere of "the giver" last night. really i'm hosting o'reilley on thursday night. but i went to the premiere last night. jeff bridges spoke about robin williams and it was -- they were very close friends. he had just heard about his apparent suicide. he burst into tears. it was a happy night, but very sad night. meryl streep was there and all these people. it was fun to go to, but an odd, odd night. it was odd because of the death of robin williams. very sad. but it's great to see it. >> thanks, laura. a new report says something you use every day could cause cancer? the major health scare making headlines this morning. you're going to want to watch. and as the world mourns the death of robin williams, hollywood is saying good-bye.

the outpouring of love from his celebrity friends, including suzanne somers who joins us next. >> if heaven exists, what would you like to hear god say when you a i rife at the pearly gates? >> there is seating near the front. the concert begins at 5. it will be mozart. elvis and one of your choosing. or just to know in heaven there is laughter. that would be a great thing. god goes, two jews walk into anm bar almost every day, you notice a few things. like the fact that you're pretty attached to these. ok, really attached. and that's alright. because we'll text you when your package is on the way. we're even expanding sunday package delivery. yes, sunday. at the u.s. postal service, our priority is...was... and always will be...you.

starting with a fox news alert. health officials at a madrid hospital confirming a spanish missionary priest infected with ebola has died. the 75-year-old was evacuated from liberia last week after testing positive for the virus. now this comes as the world health organization says the ebola death toll in west africa shot past 1,000. chemical in the colgate total toothpaste has been linked to cancer. they say it's safe because it was approved by the f.d.a. in 1997, but a recent review of the agency's report reveals it could increase the risk of cancer.

our next guest says robin williams was in a class of his own. joining us right now, a member of that class, on the phone is our good friend, suzanne somers. thanks again for getting up with us. >> hi there. >> first off, your reaction to robin's passing at the age of 63? >> when you're 20, 63 sounds really old. but when you're 60, the idea of dying, it's so young. >> suzanne, i know you're saying something important, but you're breaking up so bad, we can't hear it. we're going to try to reconnect with you at the same time. i thought it was important what he said in 1988 about his own addiction, that he got off it and stopped cold turkey on his own without rehab after the birth his son, zachary. >> that's right. and so that was really a

catalyst for him to start a new 2006. he went into rehab to get it under control. in 2009, he had that heart surgery to replace the aortic valve. not a smooth road, even after that commitment there. >> and he would make fun out of the most tragic and difficult circumstances that he had gone through. he had been with john belushi before his death and he was asked, what made you get off the cocaine? he said, john belushi's death and the grand jury. so there was always a sense of truthfulness in his comedy and he was probably one of the most reflective, self-aware comedians that we've ever had in american life and he made it easy for a lot of americans to tell the truth, i think. he would go on and improvise a stream of consciousness and people would say, god, that's interesting. that's funny. and no one, whether johnny carson or leno or any of those folks is smart and as quick as they were as comedians could

keep up with that line of fire. >> he did it in the most vulnerable way where you let down a guard. those around him who treasured his comedy and his drama and just his person, i think just were able as you noted, peter, able to kind of open up to their own weaknesses. this is a man who touched so many people, including all of you. you have been e-mailing, sending in tweets, facebook posts all day. >> we reconnected with suzanne somers now. suzanne, you were talking about here you are in a hit show and here he is on a hit show, spin off of "happy days." how often did your paths cross? >> well, at times we're working in the same studio, so you see him all the time. he was just someone that no matter where he we want, he was the show that you watched. he was one of these incredible, one of a kind, they come along every so often. i was watching a clip of him last night with carson and when carson liked somebody, really likes somebody, and the way he

sat back when robin williams was on kind of was reminiscent of the way carson liked buddy hackett. >> oh, yeah. >> he just sat back and let him go. my husband used to have a talk show in canada and he would -- he loved comedians. he let robin go one time on his show and they kept saying it's time for commercial and he kept ignoring it, ignoring it. and robin did 40 minutes straight. i think the brain just didn't stop. it really is a tragic, tragic loss. i was thinking yesterday that he put on a happy face. underneath i guess we didn't realize all the demons he was dealing with. >> suzanne, so tragic and so sad to hear this news. from knowing him, what would robin want us to do today? >> enjoy the work that he did

and like his wife asked, not to focus on the end, although it's hard because it's so shocking. but they come along once in a millennium. he was extraordinary. it wasn't something that he learned when he was studying at the actor studio. this was inherent, something that is unique and special. >> you know what's amazing is you read these famous people, whether they're funny or not, but they're famous and successful. you read their books and find out they really weren't that nice on television or the big screen. what was he like away from the cameras? >> he's sweet. sometimes even introverted. gentle. i never heard anybody say anything bad about him. in hollywood, people can get

jealous of other people's success. nobody ever had any thoughts of that. you hoped he would go off on one of his rifts. it's kind of like don rickles is a good friend of mine. you invite don over, at some point in the evening he's going to take over the evening. that's the way robin williams was. >> as a final question, when you walk down to the beach today and you look out at the pacific ocean, what will you be thinking about robin williams? >> too soon, too unfinished, although what more could he have done? careers have highs and lows in our business. you're way on top and then you drop down and hopefully you find your way up again. his was just linear. it never dipped. he was robin williams, one of a kind. >> you see all the movies he did and now we look back on tv for a while and four more movies

coming out, he never stopped. suzanne much for getting up with us. >> thanks. we got 30 minutes left and we have more coming up, including your own responses on facebook and our own twitter page. >> coming up, rage and destruction in the wake of the shooting aven unarmed teen-ager by police in st. louis. so what do businesses caught in the middle think about the chaos? >> and it's a sign of football season. the manning brothers are back rapping. yeah. i said rapping. ♪ like chris johnson giving awe johnson do ♪ ike me, and you're talking to your rheumatologist about a biologic... this is humira. this is humira helping to relieve my pain. this is humira helping me lay the groundwork. this is humira helping to protect my joints

and says hey, this is how i remember him. giving his all to our fans, loving our military men. no one role defines him. he gave his heart to all of them. the question was tell me the one role that really personifies the person you thought he was. >> he was remedy to so many. his roles, his person, comedy and drama. we will certainly miss him. heather joins us now. you're joining us in missing robin and celebrating his work. you also have some headlines. >> yeah. i was so impressed to see on twitter so many pictures of our u.s. military tweeting out pictures of them with robin williams overseas. a tough situation. i have a story for you now that is a real cautionary tale for a lot of parents out there and also athletes. a high school football player is dead this morning after his family removed his from life support. last week this young man, 17-year-old from georgia, had complained about cramps due to dehydration. so after his football practice, he drank two gallons of water

and then two gallons of gatorade. so this may come as a surprise to a lot of people. but drinking so much liquid can cause swelling around the brain and can cause you to die from water intoxication. oliver was declared brain dead shortly thereafter. in texas, the hunt is on for vandals who are defacing our nation's flags. a $1,000 reward is being posted to help find the suspects who are responsible for stealing and burning seven american flags in weatherford, texas. one vietnam veteran says this makes him sick to his stomach. >> i think everybody has a right to burn a flag in protest. but not to come up to my property and burn something of mine. >> most of the victims quickly replaced those burned flags. weatherford police are treating this as an arson investigation. here is a fun story now. football is back and so are the manning brothers and this time they're rapping. ♪ this fantasy channel man it's

destruction all that's left this morning in this small missouri town after a second day of chaos and looting at the hands of an angry mob. they claim to be protesting a

controversial police shooting that left a young black man dead. late last night, officer high school to use tear gas and rubber bullets to hold back the crowd who one day earlier ravaged several nearby businesses. they broke the windows, emptied the shelves and left at least one building in flames. one of those businesses, a quick trip in the town of ferguson. mike is the manager of publix affairs. good morning, mike. >> good morning. >> watch this video with me. a man allegedly thinks it's okay to loot. >> it's happening in your community. when you have kids getting killed for nothing. when they out here minding their business, you can lock them up, you can teach them. but at the same time you ain't got to kill them. >> is that okay to loot your store and burn it to the ground? >> no. that's disheartening. quick trip is a type of company that we believe there is a lot

more good people than there are bad. unfortunately you have folks like that. there is not much you and i can do about that. >> how does quick trip rebuild at this point? the problems with this kind of violence is that it robs people from the community of jobs. how many folks were employed at that store? >> that average quick trip, it will have 15 to 18 people will be assigned to a store. quite frankly, we do have another location in ferguson which we recently rebuilt and it's doing very well. it's just the whole thing -- i think quick trip shares what's going on in st. louis. utter shock and dismay. we're really disheartened by some of the actions that took place. >> it is disheartening. but there is a kind of a golden piece of it. there was a letter taped to a quick trip store from a supporter. let's look at it. corporate neighbor, i am sorry this act of robbery and violence has happened. please return soon. i stop in two to three times per

week. does that motivate you and the folks at quick trip to say yeah, we had this problem, but this community is important to us and when we get the insurance money, we want to rebuild and give folks jobs in that community and the services that we provide at the store? >> those kind of notes, that means a lot to us. we have received an awful lot of phone calls and e-mails and letters from people and quite frankly, throughout the st. louis area. people are coming in saying they're very, very sorry what happened and they appreciate everything that we do for the community. so yeah, notes like that, that means a lot to us. >> mike, thanks for bringing your perspective this morning and let us know what happens to that store going forward. we hope it reopens. >> thank you very much. i appreciate it. robin williams is one of many comics battling depression. how can you spot depression and how can you treat depression? dr. ablow is here with some great, great answers. but first let's check in for

what's coming up at the top of the hour with bill hemmer on this important news day. >> good morning to you and more on the death of robin williams, his life clearly troubled. but we will remember what he has left all of us this morning and that is the time to stop and laugh. also big news on the terrorist in iraq. car role analyze the president's actions, or lack of them. russia is making a move toward ukraine. we'll explain what that's about. the post office wasted a lot of your money again. billions of dollars. martha and i will see you in 12 minutes, top of the hour.

all right. he was dubbed the funniest man alive. but offscreen robin williams battled addiction and depression and something other comedians have dealt with, too. friend chevy chase issuing this statement. robin and i were great friends, suffering from the same little known disease, depression. i never could have expected the ending to his life and to ours with him. god bless him and god bless us all for his life. i cannot believe this. >> so how can someone be so successful, i think we're all asking, while battling demons and still giving so much?

joining us is fox news contributor dr. keith ablow. depression is real. it's something that millions of people struggle with. we're thankful you're here to evaluate. what do we need to know? >> first of all, exactly what you've said. this is a real illness that affects tens of millions of people a year. it can be fatal. people should be in fear of it when it strikes, family member, doctors should consider it potentially lethal. at the same time as telling people, 'cause it's true, almost everybody can recover from this. in fact, everybody can because we have more tools than ever at our disposal and if you wage war against this disorder, you can win. >> how? >> number one, psycho therapy is still a gold standard treatment to find out what traumas, what dynamics are fueling this unbearable sadness and suffering. secondly, medicines, more powerful than ever and more are coming.

thirdly, club drug, when given by i.v., can crush major depression, can end suicide -- >> does it give you a false high or does it balance you out to give you a level playing field? >> studies are showing that it literally regenerates nerve cells, literally creates connectivity between nerve cells that wasn't there. that's the kind of thing we're dealing with. >> so many people on social media last night saying this funny man, this outgoing guy, if he kills himself, what kind of chance do i have with depression? speak to those people. >> every chance in the world. every chance in the world because here is the truth, every life story, what happened to robin williams? he came to believe that this grand imposture, depression, robbed him of the belief that he had pages left of his life story that would be great. everyone does have that. it's the absolute truth, i promise you. and if people will take a little

bit of a look and say maybe tomorrow i'll feel terrible, but i bet next season i will be restored if i deploy every resource at my disposal, i promise 100% that can happen. >> maybe you can't help depression, but you can take action. that's what you're saying? >> you can absolutely take action. if you're not getting help, no podiatrist doesn't keep a patient who doesn't get well after eight years. get rid of them, move on if you're not much better. >> thanks so much. coming up straight ahead, he touched countless people with his work. our most memorable robin williams moment next.

good morning, vietnam! hey, this is not a test. this is rock'n'roll! time to rock it from the delta -- >> remembering robin williams this morning. that's the life affirming seize the day robin williams that i and a lot of americans want to remember on this day after his passing. >> of course. had the privilege of sitting by him a few times and one of them went just like this.

>> i was riding my bike and i wasn't dressed like in bike clothing. i had like a single speed track bike and i had on something that makes me look like a terror insist or crack dealer. your call. and i was riding on the sidewalk, no one else was on the sidewalk. i was trying to get op the bike path and all of a sudden, whoop, whoop. pull over. i'm like, i'm on a bike. i didn't know there is a new regulation in new york where you can't ride a bike on a sidewalk. >> yeah. i got hit by a bike on a sidewalk. >> well, then that's why. it's all because of her. >> right. he's also a serious actor. here is an example from "patch adams." >> what's wrong? what are we so afraid of? why can't we treat death with a certain amount of humanity and dignity and decency and god forbid maybe humor? death is not the enemy, gentlemen. if we're going to fight a disease, let's fight one of the most terrible of all, indifference.

>> i loved him in that movie. i loved him in "awakenings". >> "good will hunting" was a great one. >> talk about it in the after the show show. don't miss a minute.
