tyler for a is the artist today for the all american summer concert series. he's a friend of duck dynasty and a new friend of fox and friends. come down to 48th and sixth. enjoy some barbecue with us, too. >> i think one of their guitar players has a mowhawk. it's about 4-feet tall. >> we should have a kpe tension to see if his mow hawk is talker than maria. >> watching a bunch of videos last night. they had top videos. >> whenever there's a country star i know she is going to know every one of them. >> we begin this morning with a fox news alert now. the obama administration is are insisting it doesn't drawn into more middle east fighting as military leadership warned the sheer brutality of isis may leave us no choice. we're joined in washington, d.c., with more on this. good morning, molly.

>> reporter: good morning. that sheer brutality that americans saw this week in that horrific video of islamic terrorist murdering, abducted journalist james foley. the pentagon said the terror group is sophisticated, has money, and a haven in syria. >> they are tremendously well funded. we must prepare for everything. and one way to do that is take a cold, hard look at it. >> can they be defeated without addressing that part of their organization which resides in syria? the answer is no. that will have to be addressed soon. both sides of what is essentially -- >> critics say the obama administration in particular, the president, has not explained a cohe'sive strategy to go after the terrorists. >> he hasn't defined our

objectives. i think it should be to eliminate isil. he hasn't tried to define how he wants to go about that. there's no evidence he's building a international coalition. >> he said it's critical to defeat the group as quickly as possible before they consolidate territory and, quote, become a mag innocent for other terrorists. back to you all in new york. >> all right. thank you so much, molly. as we get the warnings about isis and threats coming from social media and other areas it was a tail of two pictures yesterday as we had secretary of defense chuck hagel talking about the impending doom and how sophisticated isil was and the president, you know, eight minutes after the press conference out on the golf course playing golf. >> right. our sportsman president. and we're fighting a jv squad, by the way. you hear people on the left slamming the president for doing this insensitive yesterday as

james foley's parents were not done with their press conference and sitting there crying over the death of their son who had been beheaded. >> joe coming out on the democratic side saying if i was advising the president i wouldn't have advised that. >> it doesn't make any sense. it's not equivalent to the harm he discussed. and to step out on to a golf course. there's a lot of stink going on about the obama hitting the links. and americans are asking the question has he hit a double bogey. remember about ukraine? he spoke one minute when the plane went down. people are saying what is the disconnect? what is the incensivity? what is the lack of understanding of the depth of the pain of a family of the nation and how do you laugh at one moment we're speaking about things that are so serious. defenders say the president needs to come part meant lose.

he needs to not become consumed in the problem. he needs to function. but what message do we send to isis when the president is smiling on the golf cart with his buddies. >> what message are we sending when we say we're going to open a criminal investigation into the murder of james foley. are we speaking the language of isis by doing that? are we treating acts of terror as individual criminal acts? >> attorney general eric holder announcing we will open a criminal investigation to find the guy among the others who held james foley and other members of the press captive. charles said this is thinking back to world war ii, putting. into context of being attacked. >> when holder said we're going to track down the people who did this, i mean, it's as if fdr would have announced the day after pearl harbor that we're going to track down the pilots

who bombed us in pearl harbor. the idea is we made a terrible mistake for decades pre-9/11 in pursuing it as criminal offenses. as individual acts. rather than understanding that we have in isis an entity that is armed, has a ton of money, a ton of recruits, controls enormous amount of territory and declared open war on the united states of which the beheading of that journalist of that american was simply one instance. >> growing war on terror, too. it's something we've been dealing with for decade. he went on to say remember back in the late '90s we had an offer in order get bin laden offered to us by sudan and the clinton administration said we can't take it. we can't indict him. what are we going to do with the executioner once we get him? are we going to have him be a fall guy? these guys, isis is so well organized and sophisticated they're okay with that. and so probably they're not

scared of that. that's their cause. >> as a lawyer, what do you make of this? >> i think it's a huge and serious mistake. especially when you hear what general martin dempsey who is the chair of the joint chief of staff. he said it's an organization that has an apock limitic end of days strategic mission that eventually will have to be defeated. do you defeat them in a courtroom in the southern district of new york city? >> no. when you learn more about isis, i was raefding reports yesterday on isis and how they managed to radicalized the kids coming out of britain. it's remarkable because they -- first of all, many of the interior group of isis doesn't want to carry out some of the attacks. the younger individuals who are a part of isis are coming and realizing they're never going to return home. they're going to be martyred and one mission and one mission

only. to die on the battle field. they're never going back home. you going to beat them in a courtroom? it's remarkable. liberals even saying the strategy of the department of justice launching a criminal investigation makes no sense. >> common sense says it's incredible. >> your thoughts on that. another story. another fox news alert. the credibility of the key witness in the michael brown shooting now in question this morning as we learn details about his criminal past and a warrant out for his arrest. will this change the case? we are live on the scene with more. good morning, garrett. >> good morning, anna. two weeks ago, when michael brown was shot, his friend dorian johnson was there. now his account of that shooting is responsible for much of the fire storm that we have seen the last two weeks here in ferguson. here is what he said. >> he put his hands in the air and he started to get down but the officer still approached

with the weapon drawn and he fired several more shots and my friend died. >> but now the credibility 77 that account is coming into question. police records show in 2011, johnson was charged with stealing a package off someone's doorstep and repeatedly lying to police about his name and his age when they brought him into question and into custody. he never showed up to the scheduled court appear and the arrest record, which is in colt county, missouri, 120 miles from the st. louis area is still there. his attorney, though, he says that these problems with the law are really in his past. they should have no bearing on his credibility in this case. now meanwhile here in ferguson, the protest continued to die down. last night was another peaceful night. the missouri governor jay nixon is beginning to withdraw the national guard from here in ferguson, and police are saying it's just another small step in what they hope will be a

peaceful time between now and monday and michael brown's funeral. back to you. >> thank you. >> another twist this morning. all right. let's toss it over. >> happy friday to you. we'll start the headlines with this. another developing story overnight 11 people suspected of being in israel murdered. the killers pointing to hamas. it happened at the police headquarters in gaza. the pam slammic organization vowed revenge after israel ordered an air strike leaving three top hamas commanders dead. an ice bucket challenge gone wrong. four firefighters are injured and one is fighting for his life. it happened when the firefighters dumped gold water from that are ladder down on to the university marching band in kentucky. a surge of electricity from power lines shocking them.

>> if you get within a distance of three or four feet, the energy that it represents around the high voltage fire. >> none of the students are injured. two firefighters in the hospital. the. weapon learned the restaurant that mixed up sugar with lye might have done it before. an employee stuck her finger in the sugar container to licked it and her tong started bleeding. the company is not commenting this morning. and those are your headlines. check your iced tea. coming up on the show rick perry said our crumby border security means that isis is already on american soil. >> individuals from isis or other states could be and i think is a very real possibility they may have already used that.

>> that's scary. up next we break down the facts on that. >> he has a name you won't forget. paul stone estoner. guess what he was arrested for? use your imagination. chico's leggings. every style's a showstopper! with fabrics that flatter and prints to go wild for. legs look longer, you look leaner. any way you wear them. chico's leggings. we're famous for our legs. at chico's and chicos.com. you're thinking beneful.

welcome back. new reports claim isis, the terror group sweeping across iraq and syria, has been in

communication with mexico drug cartels looking for a way to exploit the southern border of america. rick perry said they may already be in america. >> there's the obvious great concern because of the condition of the border from the standpoint of it not being secure and us not knowing who is penetrating across, that individuals from isis or other terrorist states could be and i think it's a very real possibility they may already have used that. >> wow. the format are policiedy adviseo the homeland security committee joins us now. what do you make of these reports of isis collaborating with mexican drug cartels to exploit our southern border? >> i think that governor perry's

words are unfortunately very, very true. we have seen this administration in and the lack security, a lack of policy along the u.s. border. i think more importantly, they really have shown this administration a lack of understanding. they've absolutely under estimated the threat from isis. and almost now a i was advising senior members of congress on the threat from isis. so this is something that the administration -- that has been known to all of us for awhile. >> where are we pulling this information from? i'm curious. you point out the cartels have been collaborating with al qaeda going back years. are we hearing chatters. can americans rest easy that the fbi is watching the individuals? >> i think that the problem here is many fold, unfortunately. first of all, isis is group that

will do whatever it takes in order to accomplish its goals. it's not -- it's very brutal. it's very aggressive. they're going to do anything. if that means working with cartels, if that means working with other enlisted groups in order to attack the homeland, they will do that. other groups like al qaeda or other terrorist groups who have a desire to hit the homeland will also use that. however, the one particular sort of a difference here with isis is that we have americans that have left america and are now working, training, fighting with isis, both in syria and iraq as well as, you know, the numbers are vary but possibly over 2,000 europeans. and those europeans can pose a threat to the homeland. we have this sort of double front aggression toward american borders, which is why the administration needs to continue -- needs to start,

rather, to push the borders out and take the fight to isis and to where these terrorists live. >> absolutely frightening. especially the iphone video in front of the white house a few weeks ago. that was even more frightening. thank you for joiningjoshua. coming up on the show after fighting for the their lives the two americans with ebola are all better and out the hospital. >> god saved my life. a direct answer to thousands and thousands of prayers. >> weren't they just on death's door? how do we know it's really safe? make sure you know who your friends out. how they found out the hard way that rick scott's buddy is a human smuggler.

we're glad you're back. a big change coming for prescription painkillers. the government issuing tough new regulations on powerful and highly addictive drugs containing hydro. the change taking place in mid october. what may be a fitting name for a virginia man, paul stoner. he was arrested for going $10,000 worth of pot plants in his home. cops acted on a tip he was selling pot to kids. an emotional news conference

the second american with ebola is released from an atlanta hospital. >> god saved my life. a direct answer to thousands and thousands of prayers. >> dr. kent brantly and nancy writebol were on death's door weeks ago. so sfwhapd here to wei-- what hd here? >> he credits god and the experimental drug z map. do we need to be worried it can rear the head? >> we have to put it in context. he was fit and well before he developed ebola. he received the experimental serum that was manufactured by mapp pharmacies. it's an anti-body that has never been given to humans before. it's been tried in monkeys with good outcomes and initial trials it was given to mock keys in the last 48 hours in developing

ebola disease. and the patient got the experimental serum several days, actually, after he contracted the disease. we don't know whether this is what resulted in his recovery. he may have recovered anyway with supportive care, intervene use fluids and measures. but at the end of the day he's done extremely well. it's easy to think he recovered because the serum. we don't know that. i remember talking to you the day he made it to the hospital and we saw him walking on his own. you thought he was going to be okay. >> i did, actually. i think the key here is that with the ebola treatment in western medicine, he got the right treatment. he was rehydrated. this is a virus. and so there's no actual treatment for his particular problem. there's no vaccine at the moment. there are studies going on. but the key here is the overwhelm iing snap sis causes huge dehydration. and it's what results in

multiorgan failure. and those people who don't get treatment in of a cap. >> what you're referring to the 13050 died, it shows you the difference in the health care they received here and the decision to bring them home. i want to ask you about the connection about faith and healing. he's crediting god and says it's an answer to prayers. >> we can't underestimate the role of having a true faith and what it means to people who have serious medical conditions. we know people who have a strong faith it helps them through a number of illnesses. he was well before, he received the right treatment early on. he recognized he had the problem. he was a doctor. he was working with ebola patients and he made his own diagnosis early and has done well. and the control measures he received in atlanta hospital also meant that this was limited. nobody else caught the disease. he made a full recovery. >> it's refreshing to hear the

science mind and faith come together and stand on a podium and talk about it. >> it's fantastic he made a full recovery. 27 minutes after the hour on the friday morning. a couple of shows up with to a maternity ward and a baby. why were police called? the disturbing discovery. >> mitt romney and paul ryan together again. take a look at them. they're answering the question who would make the better president.

it seems like everybody is upset with president obama. he's got a lot to deal with right now and everyone is piling on. recently congressman paul ryan claimed that americans are having buyers remorse about president obama. [ laughter ] i think they might be right. today obama was standing next to

an ice cream maker with a bow flex. >> the fly master. >> step up aerobics here. meanwhile speaking about congressman paul ryan who was a guest here on the show a few days ago. we're asking him about whether or not he would be a good president in 2016. we'll play sound on that. he was with mitt romney last night. they sat next to each other. remember during one of the debates mitt romney was mocked for saying one of the biggest threats what russia is doing and putin. this is what happened in 2012. take a look. >> a few months ago when you were asked the biggest geopolitical threat facing america is russia. the '80s are asking for the foreign policy back. the cold war has been asked for 20 years.

>> president obama acted like romney was going to run around wrestling bears. now we have seen what russia has been able to do seizing territory in ukraine. does romney feel vindicated? >> i don't worry about vindication. i worry about the country. the whole reset policy with hillary clinton and smiling ear from ear pressing the red reset button i think is one of the most embarrassing incidents in american foreign policy. >> with rumors about, you know, mr. romney and mr. ryan being interested, perhaps, in making a run for the white house. this time megan kelly asked the question that everyone was thinking about. >> a lot of folks are wondering about 2016 and wondering which of the two of you will be the potential gop contenders. i want to ask you, congressman ryan. who would make a better president you or romney? >> i'll give it to him. >> he's generous.

i had my turn. it's his turn now. >> that should do it. >> you're better. no you're better. >> no you are. >> don't go changing. >> that's great though. let us know who do you think would make a better president. mitt romney or paul ryan. weigh in online. we look at the headlines this morning. >> thank you. >> good morning. two adults carrying dolls gaining entry into a maternity ward. and that's what police say happened in california's my si medical center. they showed up with eerie life-like baby dolls. not just one but twice. trying to get inside. they even had a diaper bag and a carry all and the wife was wearing surgical scrubs. the couple under investigation, but they haven't done anything illegal. the hospital notified area medical centers about those two. pregnant women have been

told eating tuna fish is safe, but this morning a huge reversal and a major warning. a new study telling expecting mothers to avoid tuna at all costs. . in june the government said pregnant women should eat up to 12 ounces of fish per week. consumer reports analyzed the data and concerned about the high levels of mercury in canned tuna especially. the two old glories swiped from the brooklyn bridge set set to fly over next new york city. the nypd is negotiating to have them returned. they were taken by a pair of german artists. they admitted to taking the flags but it was to honor the german architect who helped build the bridge. with friends like these. who needs enemies. ask rick scott. a tv ad features an endorsement from a cuban-born business owner. the problem with that it he's a

convicted human smuggler. the ad, which is no longer online, shows the man hugging scot. those are your headlines. back to you guys. >> thank you. let's head outside to maria who is standing by with a look at the forecast. hey. >> good morning. we had showers and storms early this morning here in new york city. that moves out. we still do have a chance for another shower or isolated storm here in the city. that's all due to a large high pressure system in place across part of the plains and the southeast. it's up and around the system. we get the showers and storms very typical summer like patter lakes, and midwest are seeing the storms early this morning. they're going to continue throughout the day. some of the storms could be producing some severe weather across the center of the country. so of course we'll be watching for that. today ripping through states like kansas and nebraska. and by tomorrow it shifts farther north. also in minnesota we have both

days seeing isolated tornados. temp winds that head wave continues across the plains and the southeast. today it's going to be another hot one. you have about 1 states right now that have heat advisory in effect. take a look what it's going to feel like as we head out the door. it's going to feel like 100. 101 in tampa, and going to feel like 100 in raleigh, north carolina. and something else we're watching across part of the tropics is the disturbance. it's moving into portions of the caribbean, right now also part on the atlantic. that system has a high chance to potentially become a named storm come the next 48-hours. it could become a tropical depression. computer models are hinting it could remain offshore. it's too early to tell. we have to watch it over the weekend and into early next week. thank you so much. coming up al sharpton rallying his followers against

police. >> how can the young city lead in a system and try to spit on the -- of a young man. tomorrow leading a big rally in new york city plan to protest police brutality. is it doing more harm than good? >> death was certain. a rock climber fell 100 feet down a glacier. saving his life he hit a back tuck. the friend that witnessed it all will join us live. chico's leggings. every style's a showstopper! with fabrics that flatter and prints to go wild for. legs look longer, you look leaner. any way you wear them. chico's leggings. we're famous for our legs. at chico's and chicos.com. hello!

brown and 43-year-old eric garner who died last month here in staten island, new york. do the rallies do more harm than good? joining us now is pat lynch president of the new york city patrolman's benevolent association. the question i have first is do the rallies of al sharpton contribute to any civil discourse to this city or any city in the united states? >> he take tragedy and raise his old profile. he's not doing -- >> it doesn't contribute to civil discourse. >> what happens is he's telling folks that, you know, you don't have to listen to the police. if we were in a situation where every job, even basic jobs are turning into resisting arrest jobs. it's dangerous for everyone. it's dangerous for the new york city police officers, the public, and even dangerous for the person being placed under arrest.

>> what about the notion of no justice no peace. is that a threat to a civil society? >> new york city police officers are what brings peace to the streets of the city of the new york. no one else. we go out there and protect your rights. we'll protect his rights tomorrow to march in staten island. we'll make sure he can say what he believes and coit safely. >> it's important that the police protect everyone in a society. there are some people in staten island, some business owners in staten island who say they're going to close up shop because they're terrified of what will happen during that march tomorrow. can you give them some assurances that it'll be safe in it's safe to keep their stores open tomorrow and during that march? >> new york city police officers deal with demonstrations every day by the thousands of people on the street corner. and we do it well and we'll do it peacefully. we'll do it, also, on saturday. we'll make sure store owners can do business, the protesters can be heard, and everyone else is safe in the meanwhile. >> what about the rhetoric that

has become popular and really wide spread across this country now especially in left wing media but police are occupying force. that their militarized and have no tie to the community. and the goals are destroying. >> 60% of police officers live in the confines of new york city. would we occupy our own town or schools? we're there to make sure it's safe for everyone. this making the police officer the enemy is absolutely wrong. we can walk down the street safely in this city this morning because new york city police officers took the streets and the street conners back from the criminals. they're the occupying force. we should never forget it. >> in staten island there's at least one police officer under scruti scrutiny with regard to the conduct of others. they say a choke hold was used.

you said it wasn't. were the police officers doing something right or wrong? will they be indicted? >> they were doing their job as trained. a take down maneuver. bring the person to the ground so we can safely place them under arrest. unfortunately, in this situation there was a tragedy and a lot of factors including his health that came into that. this is a tragedy for that police officer as well that has to live with the fact that a man has died. we were on the corner not as an occupying force but the community complained and the community council complained people said there's crime and prostitution and drugs. >> people are saying white and black. how do we bring people together in the country? new york city police officer shot and paralyzed by a young african-american boy. he not only forgave the boy but counselled him. is that an kpachl we can follow here in new york city? >> absolutely. there's a police officer black and white, police officer white

gunned down in the park. a hero to every new york city because to this day, he'll speak to the police officer and educate us. he'll speak to the children in the community and educate them. the reality is it could be any one of us that get the tap on the shoulder and say it's your time. >> it's shocking that educators and educators union that teachers union in new york city are supporting this rally tomorrow. what is that about? >> disgraceful. you're teaching your children not to respect new york city police officers. new york city teachers and police officers work hand and hand. when there's a problem in the school, they dial 9-1-1 and police officers shows up. on top of that, to us many teachers are family. our children become teachers and police officers. it's wrong for their union to put a separation there. >> thank you for being had with us this morning. >> thank you. coming up special needs kids forced to sort through the garbage. turns out it's part of their

nearly turns deadly one plunges 100 feet on a colorado glacier. dylan landed on his feet and he says it's all thanks to his back flip. >> yeah. matt campbell was with dylan when he fell hep joins us with the incredible story. nice to see you this morning. >> it's nice to see you, jim. how is dylan doing this morning? >> dylan is doing very, very well. a lot better than most would think. >> you were there witnessing the whole thing. take us through exactly what the rock face looked like and what happened when you saw him fall. >> so essentially it was a gorgeous day. beautiful august day. the rock face is a sheer rock face with a slight gray to it. but essentially they were cody and dylan were climbing together. they do a lot of rock climbing

they have multiple years of experience. and it was a freak accident. he lost his grip with his foot and then the rock pulled that he was holding on to and it snapped and broke. and, matt, all three of you are free climbing. which a lot of people would say you are taking some incredible photographs but you're asking for trouble here. yikes! has anything like this ever happened? >> no. and with the free climbing, it's not like we've just decided, oh, hey, there's a wonderful rock we'll climb it. both of the guys are extremely experienced. cody himself has been climbing about five or six years. and dylan is around three to four. so it's not like they're fools and just trying to jump off the rock base and, you know, ask for it. so they are certified and

multiple other things. >> and dylan a gym nist. he could have fallen any number of ways. he could have fallen any number of ways. how did he fall and how the way he fell save his life? >> so whenever he fell, because he lost his grip from the foot and the rock pulled. it caused him to fall head first. essentially from gymnastic and dance and all of his experience and background, he had aerial awareness as he was falling. and he did a flip in midair, landed to his feet and the entire time while he was tumbling down he was spotting and trying to grab on rocks. due to the momentum. there's no way of stopping yourself instantly. the entire time he was doing differenteuvers to spot and young grab and spot and grab and just fight the entire way down. >> without a doubt. his instincts helped him land on

his feet. he really hurt himself. his knees, his legs. tell us how his injuries are doing this morning >>well, he still has one more surgery, i believe he's having the surgery in a few hours today. it's going to be on his ankle. both of his knees have been worked on and there's going to be plenty more surgeries in the future. he had his kneecaps and a ten ton attached. his femurs had multiple surgery and he had some lower spinal injury. but good news is that he's not going to be paralyzed and we're going to get him back into gymnastics and he'll be flipping soon enough. >> but indian the three of you are never going to go free climbing again, is that right? >> absolutely not. that was sung even before the helicopter made. it was a pact made. it's just a horrible experience

and we don't want to go through it again. if we go climbing it would be in a very controlled environment with ropes and harnesses and everything else you would need. >> wow. >> do you credit religion at all for this? >> there is no denying it. he had some angels or something along those lines to save his life. it's not just gymnastics alone. >> we also know you have set up a gofundme account. you can find it by going to foxandfriends.com. >> thank you. we wish your buddy well. 56 minutes after the hour. coming up. how did meet the press do after they gave david gregory the ann curry treatment? >> where can you get your hands on the iphone for less than a dollar? you might want to hear this.

family's christmas jammy song? this morning they're going back to school. ♪ >> mornings are better with friends. do it. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> it's an all american summer concert series. there are only two left. today and next week, can you believe it? >> say it ain't so. >> summer is almost over.

famous dave is barbecuing. so if you're in the city, come on down to 48th and 6th. hear some free music and have free food. >> we'll drive you crazy. >> peter is here and anna and clayton. brian and steve and elisabeth are all off. that's a lot of names to remember. they're enjoying a little holiday. >> we begin with a fox news alert. the obama administration insists it doesn't want to be drawn into more middle east fight. >> as military leadership now warns the shear brutality of isis may leave us no choice. >> we're joined live by molly henneberg in washington, d.c. with more. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the shear brutality that americans saw this week in that horrific video of islamic terrorist murdering abducted u.s. journalist james foley. the pentagon says this terror group, isis is sophisticated, has money, and has a haven in syria. >> tremendously well-funded.

this is beyond anything that we've seen. so we must prepare for everything and the only way you do that is you take a cold, steely hearted look at it and get ready. >> can they be defeated without addressing that part of the organization which resides in syria? the answer is no. that will have to be addressed on both sides of what is essentially going on in the existent border. >> reporter: critics say the obama administration, in particular the president, has not explained a cohesive strategy to go after these terrorists. >> he hasn't defined our objectives. i think it should be to eliminate isil. he hasn't tried to define how he wants to go about that. there is no evidence he's building an international coalition. >> reporter: he says it's critical to defeat this group as quickly as possible before they consolidate territory and, quote, become a magnet for other terrorists. back to you guys in new york. >> all right.

thanks. the optics -- presidents always go on vacation and there is always that back and forth from both parties as to how this all looks. but it looked particularly interesting and i don't know, troubling yesterday, seeing the president out there golfing when he had his secretary much defense talking about this impending doom from isis and how sophisticated they are and perhaps even more sophisticated by a landslide than al-qaeda. >> you wonder what has the president been doing? obviously not listening to the backlash he's been getting 'cause this is day two he did this. would three be the charm today? two days ago when james foley's parents are in the middle of their press conference talking about losing their son and what an amazing man he was, less than an hour later, he's out on the golf course with nba all stars. >> eight minutes later. >> yeah. and then he does it again. >> we all understand optics and we all understand the notion of what looks good and looks right. but is this more about sense and

senseibility and when the going gets tough, do the tough really go golfing here in the white house? it's such a disconnect that it's incredible. >> president bush, i was struck by something karl rove said yesterday. president bush learned his lesson and he felt really horrible about what had unfolded, when there was an attack, i believe it was an attack on israel. he came out and gave a press conference and then turned around and went and played golf. >> he also suspended his golf. >> that's my point, is that karl rove said he learned his lesson and he quit playing golf because he couldn't square the two given the state of the rest of the world. >> the president has compared isis to a jv squad burks they certainly stepped up. eric holder, department of justice, now saying they're opening a criminal investigation into the murder of james foley and this is something that's been going on for decades. we've been acting like acts of terror is a law enforcement problem, individual problems

rather than a war on terror itself. charles krauthammer was on the kelly file last night. had this to say. >> when holder says we're going to track down the people who did this, i mean, it's as if fdr were to announce the day after pearl harbor that we're going to track down the pilots who bombed us in pearl harbor. the whole idea here is to understand we made aerrible mistake. for decades pre9-11 in pursuing criminal offenses as individual acts rather than understanding we have in isis an enemy that is armed, has a ton of money, a ton of recruits, controls an enormous amount of territory and has declared open war on the united states, of which the beheading of that journalist, of that american was simply one instance. >> i think charles understands you can't indict your way out of a terror problem, something that's greater than al-qaeda and general dempsey, who is head of the joint chiefs of staff.

the top general in the united states said yesterday that isis has an apocalyptic end of days view, meaning these folks will not be stopped. that this is a fight to the death. >> we report -- newsweek reported, it was startling to see more muslims were joining isis than the british armed services, going through syria, going through turkey to get into those areas to become radicalized and part of this group, to fight and die. they plan when they join isis to never go back home. that's their goal. we'll be martyred in the name of allah and fight and support radical islam. you think it's going to be fought and won in a courtroom? >> what a lot of intelligence people are saying is that it's unprecedented, especially the number of these isis terrorists. now an army that holds european passports. i don't want to even think how many hold american passports. >> i'm glad you said the army

part because colonel peters has been beating this drum and he said i'm tired of people saying there is 5,000 fighters out there. this is upwards of 40,000. you have liberals, and even chris matthews, coming out yesterday criticizing the president saying we're going to fight this as a department of justice when we should be fighting this as a war? they declared war on us. beheading our american journalists? they declared war on us. we're responding by putting him through a courtroom process? >> well, and they vowed in this video, the beheading video, that they're going to get sotloff next and they're not going to stop there. we have more hostages we need to worry about. this morning we're talk being the gao, they've officially said the president broke the law in swapping beau bergdahl for the five terrorists and said we will see you in new york. yikes. we all know another 9-11? are we going to have to wait for another 9-11 before action is taken?

>> one of the reports says, because as a lawyer -- >> they said that they broke -- the president and the white house broke the law, that they should have notified congress 30 days before. there should have been a consultation period. they did it in secret. they did it behind congress' back and even this governmental unit is now saying that the president and the white house broke the law with regard to this issue. we also know that the taliban just weeks after wound up killing an american general. >> so is the president, is this administration underestimating these people that they left back to the battlefield? we asked our viewers. we have some responses. deplore i can't wrote and said he doesn't do his homework. he gave up five bad guys for a possible traitor, turned down the money request of more bad guys to save a good guy. you can't open the door on one and it not be noticed. >> we had an e-mail from nancy. she said the president is the next bergdahl's parents.

he went golfing. >> you can weigh in on that story and more. we've got another fox news alert now. >> ten minutes after the hour. the credibility of the key witness in the michael brown shooting. we learn details with his criminal past and a warrant out for his arrest. big developments this morning. will this change the case? garrett teny is live on the scene now. good morning, garrett. >> reporter: good morning. that key witness is dorian johnson, the friend of michael brown who was there at the time of the shooting. his account of that incident, which largely placed blame on officer wilson and painted the police officer as the agitator in this case, this account is largely responsible for setting off much of the unrest that we've seen the last two weeks. here is what dorian johnson initially told reporters. >> he put his hands in the air and he started to get down, but the officer still approached with his weapon drawn and he fired several more shots. and my friend died.

>> the credibility of that account is now -- now coming into question. police records show that in 2011, johnson was charged with stealing a package off someone's doorstep and then repeatedly lying to police about his name and his age when he was confronted by the officers. he never showed up to his scheduled court appearance in that case and there is stale warrant out for his arrest in missouri, 120 miles from here around st. louis. his attorney says those legal matters have been taken care of and they should have no bearing on his credibility in this case. that remains to be seen moving forward if investigators continue to present evidence to a grand jury which is meeting to determine whether or not to bring those charges against officer darren wilson. back to you guys. >> all right. thanks so much. another unbelievable twist. let's get it over to ainsley earhart in for heather this morning with a look at the headlines. >> good to see you. well, he is accused of fueling

the fire in purgason and now al sharpton is on a collision course with the nypd, holding an anti-cop rally tomorrow on staten island. expected to attend? hundreds of teachers who will be bussed in by the teachers union. the president of the patrolmen's benevolent association says the union's decision to sponsor this rally is a slap in the face. >> disgraceful. you're teaching your children not to respect new york city police officers. new york city teachers and police officers work hand in hand. when there is a problem in the school, they dial 911. a police officer shows up. it's wrong for their union to put a separation there. >> and according to a source at city hall, sharpton does not have a permit for this rally, which is required by city law. an ice bucket challenge gone horribly wrong. four firefighters are injured, one fighting for his life. it happened when the firefighters dumped cold water from that ladder onto the

campbellsville university marchi kentucky. a surge of electricity from power lines shocked them. >> if you get within a distance of three or four feet, the energy that sounds the high -- surrounds the high voltage wire will arc to another object. >> two firefighters are in the hospital. one in critical condition. the students were not injured. this morning we are just learning the restaurant that mixed up sugar with lye poisoning a woman might have done it once before. the victim's attorney now claiming an employee at dickey's barbecue stuck her finger down into the sugar container, then licked it to test for lye. then her tongue started bleeding. the company is not commenting this morning. back to you guys. a marine saying what the president won't. his warning for isis that will have you proud to be an american this morning.

on the heels of defense secretary chuck hagel warning that isis beyond anything we've ever seen, a marine corps veteran is issuing a warning of his own straight to the terror group. >> his message reads in part, quote, remember we are armed in the u.s. and i can promise you this, you attack us and there

will be no mercy. >> he said that on facebook. joining us now is that marine corps veteran, nick powers. good morning. thanks for being with us. >> good morning, thank you for having me. >> you served in iraq in 2006. obviously we lost so much blood and treasure in iraq. we don't want all that to be in vain burks also don't want the savage butchers to be winners. where do you believe the president is going wrong? >> i honestly don't know. it's kind of disgusting to me to see where our entire government is going in a lot of aspects where there is absolutely nothing being done and more than one area than just this isis problem. >> let's talk about the isis problem. you served in iraq in 2006. you served in the marines for four years. why did you decide that it was important for you to stand up as one veteran, one marine, one american and speak out against these dastardly people? >> well, i followed it on line. i watched the videos and saw the

pictures that they're posting that were just absolutely disturbing. and i noticed that there was no real mainstream coverage and it really tore my heart to pieces, to be honest with you. people being brutally slaughtered by the thousands and nothing is being done. i was in an angry mood and i posted on facebook and i noticed that -- most of the stuff that isis was posting, they did the #, a message from isis to u.s. so i decided to put a message from u.s. to isis. and i had no idea that it would go anywhere. most of my friends on facebook are why the marines or contracting time overseas. i figured i would get a couple shares from them and hopefully get the word out a little bit more. but i had no idea. >> what do you want to see have happen? we know our politicians could be incompetent making these decisions, but our military is

not. but unfortunately, sometimes our politicians are the ones calling the shots. controlled air strike movements. what do you want to see unfold? boots on the ground? you know, it's a hard discussion and like you said, politics get in the way of everything. i'm no politician by any means. but there is basically no way to do it without boots on the ground. you can fly drones. you can bomb whatever you want, but without boots on the ground, you're never going to fully accomplish any kind of mission militarily. >> nick powers, marine veteran speaking out for america against isis. good morning and thank you for your service, sir. >> thanks. >> good morning. and coming up, special needs students told to dig through the trash and guess what? that's actually part of their curriculum. the mom of the boy who blew the whistle on the whole thing. she joins us live. then go to church, get a discount. a pizza parlor serving up this offer to customers, but guess who has a problem with it. you guessed it.

garbage to find plastic bottles, metal cans, and the like. and he had to wear gloves and he had to wear a smock and he was dressed as though he was a sanitation engineer, or garbage man. is that correct? >> unfortunately, yes. >> when you objected to it, what did the school say? >> they basically told me -- they seemed to be extremely excited about their recyclable program and that this was teaching them life skills and it allowed them to have the finances to do things like go to the store or get on the bus, go to the store, buy some food to bring back to class to cook. so it was an overall life skills program that teaches them about money. >> were they teaching this about money to children who were not special needs in the school district? >> no. >> so it was only the special

needs. they put out a statement -- i want you to react to it. it's a long statement and they lay out what their rationale is. recycling is also part of a curriculum sequence of the functional skills class. in this class students collect recyclable materials. with the proceeds from the materials, teachers create mock bank accounts for students and in turn, students learn to keep a ledger, write checks and develop a budget. everyone has worked for the program and was aware of the program, ourselves included, believed it was educational and positive for all of our students. question to you, carmen, educational, positive and were you told about it before your son came home showing ticks, emotional ticks and you knew something was wrong? >> i'm in complete disagreement that this was okay. >> why? >> i do not believe that a, our children were not participating

with other students in the school and that's a part of inclusion. that's the whole reason they're in a regular school. so that made them feel embarrassed. it made them feel ashamed in front of the entire school to have to do that. i was not happy that there was a health risk for the children because a lot of them have compromised immune systems. and of course, we never consented to this. we were never aware that this program existed and why would they coo it on the first day? we don't even know about it. >> do you feel that your boy and the other boys and girls were stigmatized? >> absolutely. >> have they apologized to you for what happened? >> i saw an apology in a newspaper. >> in a newspaper? did anyone call you up and say mrs. wells, we're sorry that we put your boy through this. we hope he's feeling better and we're sorry that we may have compromised his immune system and that of other kids.

>> they said that at the board meeting on monday when we, parents, pretty much came together and complained to the school district and voiced our concerns with it. at the end of it, they said they were sorry. i'm just in complete shock that this has been allowed to go on for years and they did not see anything wrong with it and actually have treated me like what's the big deal? >> what do you want them to do in the future to improve the education of your son and the other children? >> well, for sure i definitely wanted some improvement in that whole leadership that put this program together and i want the program reviewed and i want people to know that our special needs children deserve dignity and respect. this is not the way that we treat them. this is not the way that we include them into the schools. so hopefully this message is getting out there. >> carmen wells, i'm sorry you had to go through this. we wish you well and we thank you for coming on "fox & friends" to talk about this.

as soon as the kids go to school, we get the house back. let's check in with maria molina who is outside right now for the forecast. >> good morning. that's right. out here in new york city, it turned out to be a pretty nice day out. we woke up to showers and storms in the overnight hours. part of the reason why we're seeing this activity across the northeast is because farther off towards the south, we have a large high pressure system in place across the plains, southeast and around that system, that's where we're seeing the showers and storms across parts of the rockies and midwest and also into the northeast. it is going to remain a little unsettled out there in those areas today. severe weather is a concern in parts of kansas, parts of nebraska, western iowa, omaha, you are included. large hail, damaging winds and isolated tornadoes will be a concern not only today, but also into tomorrow. that shifts farther to the north across the dakotas and parts of minnesota. that heat wave continues from the plains to the southeast today. take a look at the highs and this is what it's going to feel like when you head out the door. 105 in kansas city and memphis.

>> well, from my perspective, it's a show that mingles what we do in ministry and what happens in our personal lives. it's very -- it's a conglomerate of what we do out in public and what we do privately. you can be a public success and a private failure. what it says from my perspective is that minimize the icon classic proclivity that you have toward your leaders. >> yet you're on television. so we see you on the street. is that a lot of what the show is about, hitting the street and seeing the interaction with people who are suffering? >> i think it's about beneficiary john said, it's about you see behind the scenes how we live our life and some of the things we go through. but at the same time, you see our life out in the streets doing things to help our community. that's real. that situation with justin, that's an ongoing thing, i'm continuing to help this guy. when i see people in his

condition, my heart breaks for them because that could have been me real easy. >> pastor, you mentioned something that's interesting, is that you're involved in your own community. you're out there on the streets of your own community. so i want to play a clip for you of someone who flew in to another community and has riled up the crowd. take a look at al sharpton from the other day. >> how can the young folk of the city believe in a system that would try to spit on the name and character of a young man who hasn't even been buried? >> hear the alaws there, the crowd. but then you hear the criticism pouring in. what is your response to the reverend flying in to ferguson, missouri? >> maybe i might make more controversy than i should, but at the end of the day, nobody respects you until you respect yourself. that's my position. my position is we've got 25 kids dying on the weekend in chicago. we've got in 24 hours, nine

murders in detroit. it's black on black crime. this should never happen. it happens too often, the fergusons, florida with trayvon martin. it happens way too often. but at the end of the day, we need to make sure that our kids don't kill themselves. a great friend of mine who is also the head of the pico corporation, i'm the spokesman for gun violence. we need to make sure that we're not killing each other so that other people will decide they shouldn't kill us. >> you're out on the street talking to people. do they feel like their voices being heard? why is there this immediate leap to think justice wouldn't be served? there is a 70,000-person petition to try to get the st. louis prosecutor off the case. are the voices of the people not being heard somehow? is that where the outrage comes from? >> i think individually some of those people who do feel their

voices aren't being heard because of the combination of all the things, from florida to chicago, to right here in new york city, all of these things make them feel like their voices aren't being heard and people are not responding to what they're saying. so i do agree with the fact that they do need to come together and be unified to say hey, something's got to be done. but when something has to be done, i think we need to allow the judicial system to do its due diligence, you know. >> if we lose faith in that, what do we have? >> we don't have anything. the prosecutor needs time to make a case. if you abort the time he needs to make the case, then what happens if justified homicide comes back? >> the reverend should be listening to you and the congress who is calling for the removal of this prosecutor. you can watch your show this coming wednesday.

pleasure to meet both of you. >> thank you. coming up here, you would never know watching the movie, but did you know the new sin city was shot entirely on a green screen and they used treadmills for the walking scenes? on this day in history, 1999, "genie in a bottle" was the number one song in america by christina aguilera

353 minutes after the hour. two highly anticipated movies hit theaters this weekend. >> a sequel nine years in the making "sin city: a dame to kill for" and another based on the true story of a high school football team.

>> wow. and here with his review is kevin mccarthy. i can't believe nine years, really? >> i know. i cannot believe it either. what's funny, the first movie i ever reviewed in the history of my movie review and career was the first "sin city" on my aol instant message to an audience of 50 people. and here i am nine years later. i was so blown away by the first movie that i saw it three times opening weekend. what robert rodriguez did with the special effects was amazing. if you're not familiar with the story line, it's bunch of stories intertwined into a film and you have law, revenge, brutality. very, very violent. not for the kids whatsoever. you have an amazing cast. josh brolin, bruce willis. but the amazing thing is that it was shot entirely on a green screen. no sets whatsoever. so imagine when janis and maria and rick do their weather every day on the green screen, that's how it looked for the actors on

the set. and they would have nothing around them. the environment was fully green and they add in everything later. there were times when actors actually walked on treadmills. so if they walked hundreds of feet in sin city down an alleyway, that was on a treadmill. it's amazing they're able to do that. the problem with the new movie is that they don't intertwine the stories as well and the third act is very, very, very weak. i thought jessica alba was great in the beginning, but i thought she overacted at the end. skip the 3d, but only see it if you're a fan of the original. i had a chance to talk to josh brolin. >> i still have any original sin city ticket stub. >> oh, my god. that's amazing. high five. >> this is when your character is driving. how did that look on set for you? what do you see?

>> steering column and then the steering wheel. it's weird, man. go into a room and you do a scene in a room and have the green door frame and you'll have a green coat rack and a green bed frame and that's it. >> yeah. >> amazing. >> pretty bad. >> then the true story about the high school team who had a 150 game winning streak. it's a little too long at times, but overall it's a good message. has good faith-based messages in the movie as well. i gave it three out of five. good mat knee for the family -- matinee. it ended over and over begun. but i gave it three out of five. >> great to see you. >> and peter -- >> we'll join the pitch together. coming up, a big show for you. geraldo rivera is coming up and you won't want to miss him. >> high five

their boat. take a look. a great white. >> shark! (scream). >> "fox & friends" hour three starts right now. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> the song that anna uses to get ready for the show every morning. >> "red neck crazy." this song, tyler farr is continuing our all american summer concert series this morning. he's got a great story. got his start as a bouncer and flipping burgers at tootsie in nashville. >> one of the great bars in all of nashville. you go downstairs to listen to music and upstairs to listen to music and you can drink in between up and down the stairs. also you can continue to watch at www.foxandfriends.com/concert.

geraldo rivera joins us here on the couch this morning. great to see you. >> my wife and erica still enjoyed "jaws 3". >> we want to talk to you about what's going on overseas, and specifically around isis, isil, as many different names for them this morning. we're hearing from secretary of defense chuck hagel yesterday talking about what a sophisticated threat that they are. where do you think -- and where do you think we need to go now? we also are had general martin dempsey talk being what a threat that they are. let's take listen to what they had to say. >> it is possible to contain them. i think we've seen that their momentum was disrupted. to your question, can they be defeated without addressing that part of their organization which resides in syria, the answer is no. that will have to be addressed on both sides of what is essentially at this point a nonexistent border. and that will come when we have

a coalition in the region that takes on the task of defeating isis over time. it requires a variety of instruments. only one small part of which is air strikes. >> saying it will take more than air strikes. even the body language of dempsey, very different than what we have seen from the president before he hits the president. >> let me take it from general holder's remarks from a crime having been committed. i believe that of course he was right and i appreciated his heartfelt remarks which i thought unlike the president's, were not then diminished, he didn't go out and play golf and almost be disrespectful to the incident, the beheading as i think the president did, unfortunately, the day before. attorney general holder is spot on. it is a federal crime, of course. but it is much more than a crime. this is an act of war against the united states of america. isis is a defacto country. they control territory on both sides of the invisible territory

between syria and iraq. i've been there many times. there is no way to distinguish one country from the next, particularly when you remove the border posts. so this is an act of war by a defacto state against the united states of america. i want the united states of america to declare war on this islamic state, on this caliphate. i want us now to be in a state of war against them. i think that if you put it in those terms, that is the primary source of our retribution, our revenge, our justice. it will be making war on these savages who have not only obscenely beheaded an american citizen, but threatened extensionally the united states of america, 100 of them have american passports. 500 have british passports. they're coming this way. >> let's talk about this, should there be a declaration of war by the united states congress today whereby we put marines, soldiers, airmen, everybody into

iraq and syria to destroy isis? >> i would like to see a declaration of war against isis. i would like to see isis removed by any means necessary, including -- this is probably the most controversial thing i'm going to say this morning -- including the rehabilitation of the syrian dictator, assad, and his shiite forces who have successfully kept them at bay. they only control one third of syria. i think the bashar assad, the enemy of our enemy is our friend. i want us to rehabilitate the dictator in damascus. i think he can be forced to make his own government more inclusive, head to some sort of settlement of the syrian civil war and the syrian army, a fine army, join with american air power and our iraqi allies, all must make common cause against this dreadful threat to civilization. >> let's get a little more specific. just air power, because we heard from dempsey, it's going to require more than just air strikes. we heard from nick powers, a marine corps veteran earlier, he

took to facebook to say we're coming after you, isis. we need also boots on the ground. what do you think? >> when i hear people -- i've been 11 times to the war in iraq. 11 times to the war in afghanistan, somalia and every other crap hole in between over the last couple of decades. when people say just air power, i don't think people have seen what air power can do. if you saw the highway of death after the kuwait invasion when an iraqi army was wiped out by the united states of america air power, naval air and the united states air force, just air power is to minimize the power that we can wield from above. >> the balkans. >> exactly. we went to kosovo without a single boot on the ground. we can destroy their efforts. they have arrogantly taken our vehicles and they parade with

those despicable black flags everywhere. we can crush them everywhere they move, anything metal we can destroy. we can take to them a hurting that they will never recover from. now, does that require some people on the ground? i think that the best application of air power is often when you have commandos, special forces who are targeting with lasers and so forth, specific assets of the enemy on the ground. so i believe that that's the first step. our special operators, delta, special forces, seals, et cetera, going with the syrian allies, going, finding out where they are. when you see these huge concentrations of these people with the black flags and the hoods and they're all filled with their own macho, we can find them. they control mosul, for example. mosul is a city the same size as houston, texas. that's how big it is.

that's how important it is to iraq, an oil center. we can hit them in areas where civilians are not concentrated. we can hurt them very badly. we can make them bleed. we can defuse their arrogance. that's what we can do. right now the sunni tribes in iraq are being attracted to isis. why? because isis is winning. as soon as isis starts losing, we can peel those sunni tribes away from isis, back to the government in baghdad, iraq, back to the central government the way general petraeus did in the 2000s. >> the president tells us we don't have an appetite for taking these people on. he tells us again and again and again, do americans have the appetite for it? and if the president misgauged this whole blessed thing, especially when he says this group was jv, junior varsity. >> put aside the president's mischaracterization. let me ask you, you saw foley's head get cut off. does america have the ability to

ignore a scene like that? >> can't ignore it. >> you can not ignore that. that was an affront -- we were all james foley. >> we asked the president that question. >> i believe that the president -- i think the president has had some very, very bad advice during this vacation, playing eight rounds of golf in 11 days. >> who advised him to play golf? >> i like to party, but if it's not an irish wake, i'm not dancing on the graveyard and i'm not using the graveyard as a driving range. i think he was really, really ill advised. i also think when you look at the remarks, put the golfing i want aside, when you look at his remarks, he was there. he was colorless. he was kind of leaning down, but his words were powerful. his words were very pointed. this is and what eric holder said about our long institutional memories, we remember. we will get back at you. it took years to get bin laden. we will crush you, isis.

>> the memory is not action, though. you're saying we need action. >> but you saw chuck hagel and i appreciated that it was the secretary of defense speaking after the attorney general because it should not be primarily in the justice department. it should be in the defense department. when i saw hagel, when i saw general martin dempsey a fine soldier, when i see them, what is the line between syria and iraq anyway? lawrence of arabia drew it on a map after world war i, this is the same country, this is a defacto state that declared war on the united states. i want us to declare war on them. >> well said. geraldo rivera, you can catch him this weekend. >> articulate and american. 11 minutes after the hour. ainsley earhart waiting with more headlines. good morning. >> thank you so much. let's go to ferguson. this morning we're learning the star witness in the michael brown case, not such a star. >> he put his hands in the air and he started to get down, but

the officer still approached with his weapon drawn and he fired several more shots and my friend died. >> we just learned that there is now a warrant out for his arrest. the charges? stealing and filing a false police report. the national guard being pulled out of ferguson now as protests there are calming down, or have overnight. an ice bucket challenge going horribly wrong. four firefighters are injured, one fighting for his life. it happened when the firefighters dumped cold water from their ladder down on the wham dellsville university marching band. that happened in kentucky. a surge of electricity from power lines shocking them. >> if you get within a distance of three or four feet, the energy that surrounds the high voltage wire will actually arc over onto another object. >> two firefighters are in the hospital this morning. one in critical condition. the students were not injured. it's a bizarre and frightening story.

two adults carrying dolls that looked like real babies and wearing scrubs trying to sneak into a maternity ward. it happened in california's mercy medical center. police say these two tried to get inside not just once, but twice. they even had a diaper bag on them and a carryall. the couple under investigation. but they haven't done anything illegal. it looks like a scene out of the movie "jaws." a great white shark nearly 15 feet long swimming directly underneath this boat off the coast of massachusetts. and wait until you hear how they scream. >> shark!

s host larry older under attack from democrats after saying this. >> people in ferguson believe that the racist criminal justice system is oppressing them because obama and eric holder

have said statements giving them that impression. no, it is not a major problem in this country. no, it is not. >> racism not a major problem in this country. and he's not backing down from those statements. >> radio talk show host larry elder joins us to discuss this. good morning. thanks for being with us. >> good morning. how are you doing? >> fantastic. so during this interview, you were joined by pennsylvania professor mark who is on the opposite side of the screen. he starts attacking your character. why is it you think that black conservatives are not allowed to voice their opinion? >> because i represent the very antithesis of everything they stand for. what they stand for is you're oppressed. you're a victim of racism. you need race based preferences. you need a democrat wearing a white horse to carry the day. i interviewed the head of the naacp years ago and i said, as between the presence of white racism or the absence of black fathers, which poses the bigger threat to the black community?

without missing a beat he said the absence of black fathers. so what are we talking about here? there were 7,000 murders last couple of years, average each year of black people, almost always committed by other black people. in chicago alone we had almost ten homicides, mostly blacks during one year. and most of those are unsolved. in the case of ferguson, at least we know who did it and the odds of an unarmed black person being killed by a cop is very, very remote. the odds of your being killed by another black person is much higher. in the white community with out of 100,000 people will be killed. in the black community, it's 14 out of 100,000. you're seven times more likely to be murder fundamental you're a black person than a white he person. what are we talking about here? >> you mentioned eric holder. he flew in on wednesday to ferguson, made this case well personal talking about himself quite a bit. take a listen to him. we'll get you to respond. >> national outcry we've seen speaks to a sense of mistrust and mutual suspicion that can take hold in the relationship

between law enforcement and certain communities. i wanted the people of ferguson to know that i personally understood that mistrust. >> he's talking about mistrust. 70,000 people signed a petition now to remove the st. louis prosecutor involved in this case. what do you make of what eric holder had to say? >> i'm used to hearing people like sharpton and jesse jackson make irresponsible comments about our criminal justice system. but when i hear president obama and eric holder make the same kind of comments, small wonder why so many black people believe that the criminal justice system is racist. you have president obama claiming that there are more black people behind bars in colleges and universities, when in fact when you look at college age black men, five times as many college age black men are in college and universities than in prison. you have eric holder falsely claiming that the reason that blacks are given somewhat longer sentences than whites for the same crime is because of racism, when in fact it's because the reason can be explained for legitimate reasons, closed quote.

when you have the very top leaders telling them the system is racist, why wouldn't they believe it? >> larry elder, not backing down from his comments that racism is not a problem in this country. we'll be back vo: this is the summer. the summer of this. the summer that summers from here on will be compared to. where memories will be forged into the sand. and then hung on a wall for years to come. get out there, with over 50,000 hotels at $150 dollars or less. expedia. find yours.

peter? >> thanks. we told you about this story, tennessee high school student kendra turner suspended for saying bless you after a fellow classmate sneezed. she's speaking out for the first time here on "fox & friends." she's here along with her attorney of the liberty institute. good morning. >> good morning. >> hi, kendra. thanks for being here. tell us what happened when you said bless you after another student sneezed. >> i just simply said bless you and the teacher asked, who said it? i told her i did. and she asked why. i said i was just being courteous. she said says who? i said my pastor and my parents told me it was courtesy. >> and so what did she say in response to that? did she send you for detention or send you for some kind of

punishment? >> after that, one of the classmates asked her what she had against the word bless you. she said there would be no godly speaking in the class. and that's when i said my pastor told me that i had a constitutional right and it's my freedom of religion and freedom of speech. and she sent me down to the office. >> jeremiah, the roots of bless you or god bless you goes back to like, from what i read, 77 a.d. does kendra have a constitutional right to say bless you to another student who sneezes in a class? >> fox she does. it's remarkable if you review all the stories we have of cases like this at liberty institute.org how often we're seeing this constant refrain that you can't have any kind of religious speech at school whatsoever. now we're debating whether or not you're actually allowed to say god bless when you someone sneezes. it's unlawful for a school to tell a student or tell any student that they can't engage in their faith while they're at school.

of course that's silly. students are expected to owe bait classroom rules, but we expect our teachers to obey the rules of the constitution. >> this school apparently has certain words that they've banned, including bless you. dumb, boring stuff. i don't know. hang out. my bad. is bless you equivalent to these kinds of remarks that -- should it be banned? >> here is the thing, we've had for years now, we've had secularists and others trying to say any mention of religious faith at school is wrong entirely. but look, the supreme court of the united states has been very clear about this. students do not shed their constitutional rights when they walk through the schoolhouse gates. that includes when someone sneezes. so long as students are following the rules of the classroom, we expect our teachers and school officials to follow the rules of the constitution. that's why i would encourage your viewers to go to

libertyinstitute.org, read about these other cases and then also follow us on twitter to take part in the hashpassion bless you campaign that we're doing there as well. we want to encourage all students across the country to not be afraid to assert their religious liberty while at school like kendra has been able to do here this week in tennessee. >> we reached out to the school. there hasn't been a comment back from them at all. kendra, you're pretty courageous to speak up and to speak up for the constitution and we are so happy you're here with us today and we hope you have better days ahead and god bless you both. >> thank you. >> thank you. coming up, the top defense officials calling isis beyond anything we've ever seen. so why is the president still golfing? or is he entitled to his vacation? chris wallace answers that next. and who would make the better president? mitt romney or paul ryan? wait 'til you hear how they answered that question. but first here is tyler farr performing "whiskey in my water"

esurance, backed by allstate. click or call. the president isn't helping himself by going on vacation. in fact, i saw president obama played the eighth round of golf of his vacation today. i mean, he's played so much golf, i guess he's getting pretty good. he's still not quite up to pro level yet. here is rory mcelroy's tee shot. >> in the hole! >> yeah, they're yelling get in the hole. now, you can see the difference here with obama's swing. watch this. >> go back to the white house! >> get back to the white house. we've got chris wallace here. he is working in the middle of the summer doll drums. chris, it seems like the president can't escape the criticism, even coming from the liberal left this morning. joe trippi and others saying,

this just doesn't look good. what did you make of all this? >> well, i generally, and i covered ronald reagan for six years, let me just give you a fact. ronald reagan spent more than one year of his eight years in the white house on his ranch in santa barbara. george w. bush spent more than one year of his eight years on his ranch in waco, texas. so generally speaking, i think as people say, the white house follows the president. he can do whatever he needs to do. but having said that, i think this week for the president to -- first of all, to have this medieval horror of the execution, the beheading of james foley, the president makes an impassioned statement and then he goes out and plays golf and looks like he doesn't have a care in the world, at least the other presidents did it in private and you're exactly right. here in washington the criticism is coming not just from the right, it's also coming from the left. and people say, how could this happen? look, i know how it happened.

somebody probably said to the president, maybe you don't want to be playing golf today minutes after you talked about the beheading of james foley and the president said, i want to play golf. and sometimes he's the boss. he's going to do what he wants to do. but it looks awfully tone deaf. >> come on, timing is everything. they all deserve vacations and time on the golf course, but come on of the we heard from people like john bolton who said i wouldn't mind if he was on the golf course if he had a good foreign policy in place and a good plan about what to do with isis. we heard a different tone yesterday from chuck hagel and martin dempsey. >> isil is a sophisticated and well-funded as any group that we have seen. they're beyond just a terrorist group. they marry ideology, sophistication of strategic and tactical military prowess. they are tremendously well

funded. oh, this is beyond anything that we've seen. so we must prepare for everything and the only way do you that is you take a cold, steely hard look at it and get ready. >> chris, from what you're feeling in washington, is the president listening to his advisors? are they communicating well? what's going on? >> the answer is i don't know. but it was very interesting -- i agree with you -- that you heard both the defense secretary and also the chairman of the joint chiefs, martin dempsey, who talked about not only going after isis in iraq, but also going to their home base in syria. i can't imagine that they would have said that if this president hasn't -- president obama admitted this administration was caught flat footed by the amazingly quick advance of isis across iraq. i'd have to think that if they say this, that the president is buying into this as well. and as much as he didn't want to, as much as he wants to pride himself on being the president who ends u.s. wars, that he's

coming begrudgingly to reality, and history is you're going to have to confront isis. >> confronting history, you speak to a lot of people in washington and across the country. is there a drumbeat for war in washington, d.c. on this friday? are people realizing that isis will have to be taken down in a military way? >> no, no. look, you look at the polls, peter, it's quite the contrary. by a two to one margin, people say they don't want to get involved back in iraq. and there really is a palpable war weariness around the country and you can feel it here in washington. there are few people who have been sounding the alarm for some period of time. we'll have one on fox news sunday this week and that is senator john mccain who says look, we got to go to war with these guys. we got to take them out. we're also going to be talking to retired general jack keane who will give us within of his talks which are just fascinating

about how you go after isis. as a retired four star general how you take the fight to them. this will be unpopular and this is not something the president has wanted to do after he's the one who prided himself, campaigned on ending wars. but sometimes you don't get to choose the wars you have to fight. >> it will be fascinating to watch fox news sunday and general keane. great to see you. >> thank you. ainsley earhart is standing by with a look at what else is making news headlines. good morning. >> good morning. thanks so much. he is accused of fueling the fire in ferguson and now al sharpton is on a collision course with the nypd. he's holding an anti-cop rally tomorrow on staten island. expected to attend? hundreds of teachers who will be bussed in by the teachers union. the president of the patrolmen's benevolent association says the union's decision to sponsor that rally is a slap in the face.

>> disgraceful. you're teaching your children not to respect new york city police officers. new york city teachers and police officers work hand in hand. when there is a problem in the school, they dial 911, a police officer shows up. it's wrong for their union to put a separation there. >> and according to a source at city hall, sharpton does not even have a permit for this rally, which is required by city law. this morning, we have learned the restaurant that mixed up sugar with lye poisoning a woman might have done it once before. the victim's attorney now claiming an employee at dickey's barbecue stuck her finger in a sugar container, then licked it to test to see if there was lye in it. then her tongue started bleeding. the company is not commenting this morning. talk about a prophetic name. paul stoner was just arrested for guess what? throwing $10,000 worth of pot in his virginia home. cops acted on a tip that he was selling pot to children.

and it's one of pierce brosnan's biggest regrets. turning down the role of batman. this morning we know why. he was offered the role of the dark knight in 1989 movie, but he turned it down, saying any man who wears his underpants outside his pants just can't be taken seriously. and those are your headlines. >> he played james bond. but he's not wearing his underpants outside. >> batman is a realman. let's check in with maria molina right now. >> hey, good morning. hello, everybody. we want to take a look at the weather conditions across the country, especially across parts of the rockies, parts of the great lakes and also into the northeast. these areas today are very unsettled. we have showers and storms scattered about. that's all because of high pressure in place across the center of the country and also across parts of the southeast. we can almost see the showers and storms moving around that high pressure system. today we have the risk for severe storms across parts of nebraska, parts of kansas and

also western parts of iowa and then as we head into tomorrow, that risk continues. parts of the dakotas and in minnesota, could be looking at large hail, damaging winds and even tornadoes out there. that's today and tomorrow. high temperatures are going to stay hot not only today, but as we head into saturday and sunday across the center of the country and also into the southeast. that's a look at your high temperatures for today. 100 in dallas. 101 in del rio. factor in the humidity and this is what it feels like when you head out the door. 106 in kansas city and 105 in memphis. we have heat advisories in effect across 12 states, from parts of missouri into florida because of how hot it is. otherwise across the atlantic, we have an area that we're watching for possible development. it could be a depression or a tropical storm coming up in the next several days. we'll keep a close watch on it. let's head back inside. >> all right. maria molina, thank you. still ahead. mitt romney and paul ryan together again and answering this question. who would make the better president? first here is tyler farr

not al-qaeda. you said russia. in the 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back because the cold war has been over for 20 years. >> what governor romney really said is we need to we're about a nuclear iran and yes, russia, and president obama as you saw there, kind of said nope, nope. who do you think vladimir putin is? he's just a guy who goes around wrestling bears with his bare chest. obviously that's not the case. look what's happened with russia and ukraine and him seizing territory there. so does governor romney feel vindicated? listen. >> i don't worry about vindication. i worry about the country. this whole reset policy with hillary clinton smiling ear to ear press ago red reset but the sun one of the most embarrassing incidents in american foreign policy. >> so one hand he does take a swipe at hillary clinton, foreign policy, but then also says i agree with hillary clinton on we can't have a policy of don't do stupid things, or don't be evil in the world. >> it was interesting. then the side by side former
