what's going on? i'll tell you what's going on. you're watching "fox & friends" right here on the fox news channel. >> hey, america. this is famous dave. you're watching "fox & friends." ♪ ♪ >> we rolled out the astro turf. all we need is 100 more people and we'll have them by the time our friends, thompson squared takes the stage. they're featured performers in the finale of the summer concert series. they're getting ready and famous dave's is slathering up his ribs. >> and they're married. >> for 14 years.

>> they're happy it's over. elaine benis called, said he's a bad dancer. >> we've been telling you for months about isis and the news this week has been terrible about isis. just yesterday they released a video that shows they executed 150 members of the syrian air force, also in the past week they executed nearly 500 syrians as well. it is clear that isis is rampaging. it is time for action. on monday it was revealed that the white house ordered drones over syria to figure out what's going on over there. >> we told them ahead of time. >> yesterday when the president of the united states announced that there would be a press conference, the world tuned in to find out what our strategy would be to destroy the evil isis. what did the president say about our strategy? here we go. >> i don't want to put the cart before the horse. we don't have a strategy yet. i think what i've seen in some of the news reports suggests

that folks are getting a little further ahead of where we're at than we currently are. and i think that's not just my assessment, but the assessment of our military as well. >> does he know he's president? does he know that he's responsible for stopping the number one enemy of america? i'm sorry, russia, you're number two for now. that's been amosing -- in taking this base in syria, they just got planes with our tanks and our armored personnel carriers and making $3 million a day. they are taxing courts, keeping the lights on of the this is same administration saying one week ago that isis cannot be defeated without air strikes in syria. the president says i know one thing we have no strategy. not only is he embarrassing himself, he's embarrassing the pentagon who now looks totally inept because he has just come out and said for four years, we still have nothing.

not a strategy that he can sign off on, but no strategy at all. >> the pentagon has given him many different plans and there is an item that talks about in the daily beast, the reason he couldn't come to any sort of strategy is because his war council is split. half of them want to decimate isis. they want to coordinate with the rebels. they want to target the infrastructure, plan of control and financial capabilities, including the pipeline. but the other half of obama's war council, no cooperation with the free syrian army and instead, focus strikes inside syria near the iraqi border. just cut off isis' supply lines to iraq. it's a rather limited strike. >> so you would expect the president after making the speech and getting hammered about not having a strategy in syria, you would expect him to be meeting with his national security advisors, talking to the pentagon. well, apparently not. we still don't know what his official plan is going to be. and instead, he's out fundraising. he's going to be doing three

fund-raisers in two states. >> he's got a big wedding this weekend. >> a couple weddings, i think. >> anyway, after that incredible sound bite where the president reveals we have no strategy, the white house then shortly thereafter decided we should actually go ahead and try to clarify this and clean up the mess. so they issued this statement. it goes like this: this afternoon, the president met with his national security council to discuss the situation in iraq. our ongoing efforts to support the iraqi government and our comprehensive strategy to counter the threat posed by isil in iraq and syria, the president will continue to consult with his national security team in the days to come. see, in that they said he's got a comprehensive strategy. well what is it? >> for iraq. the problem is their headquarters is in syria and they can't be stopped by hitting iraq. he keeps trying to change the subject. the subject is isis. iraq is the subject. >> he can't be bound by these

borders. a shock tale of home grown terror to tell you about. we told you about the american from california who turned on america and died fighting for isis. he grew up in minnesota near the twin cities, just like the second american killed in the same battle. and they weren't alone. troy castigar, a buddy from high school, was killed also. so mind boggling. ainsley earhart outside the high school where the two grew up together. what are community leaders telling you? >> reporter: they're saying they need more mentors. it's very eerie to be standing outside this high school knowing where this is where they were educated 15 years ago. you might wonder why would an american go overseas and fight for jihad. we asked one of the community organizers that and he was telling us this is the largest somali population in the entire

country. so these recruiters come here to target those muslim individuals that are not radical, but you have a few radicals that join these mosques these groups, and they pick out these kids that are maybe going through tough time and they convert them and teach them how to be radical terrorists. that's when the brainwashing begins. >> there is a lot of dubious things that kids are taught. first, they are told utopian islam. here you can't find a job. they hate you. they discriminate against you. the police is bad. as a young person in the world no matter who he is or how he looks like, have challenges and energy. so they channel those challenges. they don't have any mentoring programs. so they replace those programs that every kid should have to mentor and to chapel their ager

and energy that they see every day. >> this man made it his life mission to mentor all the kids in this area because he said he lost his nephew to al-shabab. his nephew was recruited, went over, tried to get out. as soon as they found he wanted to come back, they shot him in the head. he doesn't buy those recruiting videos. he was in a video called minnesota's martyrs, where he's saying that being a part of al-shabab is like going to disneyland. the community organizer said he doesn't buy it. that they put fear in these kids and know they will be beheaded or shot if they try to get out. the f.b.i. back home says 20 out of the 100 isis fighters that were recruited here in america came from this community. pretty scary. >> high school a hot bed for it. folks at home, it's not just in that area. the department of justice saying they brought at least five

prosecutions against americans in florida, california, virginia, and north carolina trying to help isis in iraq. >> ainsley earhart, thank you very much for going out to minnesota for us. so those guys from minnesota wanted to go over and join the islamic state and become terrorists. you know who else wants to join the islamic state? this is galling. major nidal hasan. that's right. the guy who shot 13 people and injured 30 down at fort hood. he has written a letter, a two-page letter to al bagdadi, the guy who runs isis, and asks if he can join the caliphate. >> he says this, i formally request to be a citizen of the islamic city. it would be an honor for any believe to be an obedient soldier. this is the guy that was not allowed to testify. we would have seen howful he was. he's in a wheelchair that eventually i believe will be put to death. correct? >> i don't know. who knows?

remember, this particular department of justice chose to prosecute him as workplace violence. that's what he was involved in. but when you look, was it workplace violence? when he was shooting all those people, he was screaming allah akbar. now it is revealed that behind prison bars, he wants to join the islamic state. >> behind prison bars he certainly knows how to work it. how is he even able to write this letter? you remember how many delays happened during his trial and because of his religious beliefs he wasn't going to shave his beard. we're too fair to these terrorists. call it what it is. >> there is so much involved with this story, peter johnson, jr. is going to break it all down and tell us about the major's rights behind bars coming up. the bombshell of the week. lois lerner's black berry was deliberately wiped out. you wouldn't know by watching any other media outlet because it was not covered. the bias exposed next. plus, it's a story so many of you are talking about this morning. a four-year-old booted from preschool because of his

d we have several new shocking revelations dealing with the irs

targeting scandal. which we knew lois lerner's blackberry was deliberately wiped clean after the start of a congressional probe. >> but if you were watching the main stream media, you wouldn't know about it at all because it wasn't even covered. joining us is political commentator, elizabeth, thanks for being with us. >> thank you. >> this is confirm by our brain room here at fox news channel. the irs bombshell coverage on thursday night, abc, cbs and nbc, all of them didn't cover it at all. you took it a step further. even did a google search and what did you find? >> that's right. it wasn't just a tv blackout. if you put the terms lois lerner and blackberry in a google news search, the only places you'll find it being covered are the fox news article and then a few conservative web sites that are brave enough to cover this. i think the one thing that we learned about the story this week is that it still has legs. this is all of the juicy inside scandal that the media normally loves. the problem is the people involved are the people that the media normally loves as well and that's liberals.

>> the thing is, irs is such a universally recognizable entity, someone always has an emotional reaction to it. does it surprise you? >> unfortunately, it doesn't surprise me that they're sort of sweeping this story under the rug because let's face it, this is not the george w. bush administration. so they're not going to have any interest in holding these people accountable. you're right. this is relatable. everyone can understand how scary it would be to think there might be someone in the irs targeting you because of your political beliefs. >> let's talk about gas price and the dichotomy between what we're hearing from different news outlets. let's take a listen. >> when you fill up the car this labor day weekend, you'll get a nice surprise. >> gas prices this labor day weekend are expected at their lowest level in four years. the national average price for a gallon of gas this morning is 3.43. that is already a full 16 cents cheaper than last labor day. >> in the big picture, is that the story?

>> it's kind of funny. these people are making me feel old because i can remember when gas prices were actually under a dollar a gallon. so i think actually news busters did a great report. they show how they covered gas prices under the bush administration with obama administration. they linked the bush administration with higher prices than the obama administration. >> when george bush left office it was 1.84. now it's 3.43. a huge difference. >> and we're still supposed to be happy. have a great holiday. >> thank you, you, too. coming up, ben carson's solution to prevent more events like what happened in ferguson. government funded child care. is this really a good idea? the debate is next. and a terrifying close call. a shark heads straight for swimmers who have no clue trouble was coming right their

way. (yelling) can this decadent, fruit topped pastry... ...with indulgent streusel crumble, be from... fiber one. new fiber one streusel. i thought "so what?", but now "cai can't stop playing.rst that's not how it works. i mean it's so simple. it's like my car insurance. i saved 15% in fifteen minutes. well esurance could have saved you money in half that time. three in a row! sweet!

beach. 30 bars are up for grabs if anyone can find them. steve? >> good luck. meanwhile, after the unrest in ferguson, missouri, potential 2016 presidential hopeful dr. ben carson has come up with a solution that he says might help prevent more incidents like this shooting of michael brown. government-funded child care. carson writes, quote, we should devote some of the tax revenues generate to do child care facilities. we must concentrate on these kinds of programs 'cause we can not afford to lose large segments of our society to despair and underachievement in an increasingly competitive world. the suggestion coming off the fact that he says young black men don't have father figures, so is more government intervention the answer? sabrina joy stevens joinses from d.c kevin jackson is the executive director of the black spirit. he joins us today from st.

louis. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. >> serena, i understand you do not agree very often with dr. ben carson, but on this you do. >> well, yeah. we need to remember first that when we say government here, we're talk being our fellow americans. it's a problem when those of us who are police officers and public officials oppress us instead of protecting us as happened in ferguson. but if that's taught us anything, it's that we not only need to resist government tyranny no matter where it happens, but we also would be better off spend ago lot more on small children and a lot less on big weapons. >> kevin what, do you think? >> well, it's funny. we want government to let government tyranny, but more government tyranny in the form of taxes. look, the solution is not to put more money into another federal program. everything that goes into a federal program is a money dump. and the idea that -- i mean, i understand the call out for helping kids. but how about we start helping families? that's where it starts. >> absolutely. sabrina, when you look at the

amount of money the government spends on entitlements and other government-funded programs. back in 2012, we spent $254 billion on welfare. $80 billion on food stamps. you know, did that really help wipe out the war on poverty? no. >> well, first of all, i don't consider it a money dump when we invest in children and when we invest in our fellow americans who are actually providing services for them. now, we probably would be less reliant on programs like food stamps and welfare if we actually were helping people get back to work and support their own children -- >> that's dr. ben carson's point. kevin? >> well, she's made an excellent point. let's start focusing on jobs, but more importantly, let's start focusing on having young men stay with their families and take care of their families. all of these things point right back to this very basic thing that conservatism is based on, which is the support of the

family. so yes, it's interesting to say we need to support children. everybody understands that. but you support children best when you support that conservative value known as the family. >> exactly. which is why we need to make sure those families can provide for children. parents can't be in more than one place at once. so they need to have a safe place to keep their children when they're working. the other thing is that research has shown that this old st rest. >> which one? >> parents of all color, including black fathers, are very involved in their children's lives. the fact is that anybody who works in this country knows exactly how hard it is to find quality, affordable child care. i don't see how anybody can be against that. >> kevin, do you agree? we heard that black fathers are involved in their children's lives? >> i didn't say black. >> she did. >> i understand. but yeah, i agree, that certainly there is a lot more fatherless situations going on in the black community. but this is a community at large. so yes, we definitely need to be paying attention to this. but i think every time we run to

the idea that government is going to solve the problem, we create a new entitlement and it ends up backfiring. what we'll end up doing is having government be mommy and daddy as opposed to parents. when you have baby, take care of them. that's the real solution. >> how are people supposed to take care of the kids if they can't go to work? >> great points on both sides. we thank sabrina and kevin for joining us live. folks in tv land what, do you think the government should do, if anything? e-mail us. still ahead, a town rejects a mosque from being built because of a zoning issue. the department of justice calling it racial discrimination. really? a closer look at that story. plus, we're closing out our summer concert series with country superstars thompson square, the couple, they're answering your e-mail next. ♪ ♪ you're driving along,

more on or fox news alert. comedienne joan rivers is in critical condition at a new york city hospital. wnyw reporter carey drew live outside mount sinai hospital in new york city with breaking details about joan's condition. >> reporter: good morning to you. we're hearing that joan rivers is said to be in critical but stable condition at mount sinai hospital this morning. her daughter, melissa, released a statement saying she's resting comfortably and that her family is with her. rivers was rushed here to mount sinai yesterday in cardiac arrest. she was undergoing minor throat surgery at an outpatient clinic about a mile from where we are. at 9:30 yesterday morning, someone from that clinic called 911 saying that rivers had stopped breathing. rivers is 81 years old. she's a comedic icon both here in the u.s. and internationally. she's also a fixture on television. she's also on a reality show on

we tv with her daughter. last night her daughter released a full statement saying, quote, i want to thank everyone for the overwhelming love and support for my mother. she's resting comfortably and with our family. we ask that you continue to keep her in your thoughts and prayers. rivers had a very busy week. she performed wednesday night here in new york city on 42nd street. she also had a show that was scheduled for tonight at the count basie. we're being told that show has been rescheduled. that's the very latest from here outside mount sinai hospital this morning. steve, back to you. >> thank you. before the horse, we don't have a strategy yet. i think what i've seen in some of the news reports suggests that folks are getting a little further ahead of where we're at than we currently are. >> president obama admitting he doesn't have a strategy to

combat isis in syria. how is that news sitting with our allies overseas. douglas murray is the associate director of the henry jackson society. he joins us now. good morning. thank you for joining us. >> good to be with you. >> so our allies are watching us. but are our adversaries watching and how will they react to this? >> it's an amazing thing, sitting in britain, sitting anywhere in the world at the moment and watching really, watching isis do and able to do so without any apparent concern seemingly from the leader of the free world. i simply think is the sort of thing which even a few years ago would have been unimaginable. yet here it is. >> you know what's crazy is that the president said, oh, we got the best army in the world. we can wipe them out, but they'll just come back. what can we do?

what's your response to that? >> i mean, it's not true, is it? i mean, this is the president who has said repeatedly, boasted repeatedly about his ability to undermine al-qaeda, put it on the ropes. why can't he do the same thing with isis? you have the world's most advanced military capability in the u.s. and to some extent some ally, including great britain as well. you have the most advanced militaries in the world and here you have the least advanced. you've got men with rifles and knives, as well as now sadly, some pretty extraordinary equipment, including helicopters and things. but why exactly could we not defeat that army? why is it not an objective put out there to defeat isis? >> maybe it is, but we just don't have astruty at this point. douglas, over the last couple days we've been detailing how a couple of these guys who are fighting for isis came from the

united states. couple of them went to the same high school in minnesota. in addition to hundreds coming from the united states. they're projecting that thousands perhaps coming from europe and the united kingdom. what is it that is going on there in london and england as well that seems to be radicalizing all these guys? >> one thing is that even a few years ago, i heard it for most of my life, i'm sure other people have as well. even a few years ago, the idea that a caliphate would be set up was a pipe dream. it seemed the most decades in the future. here it's a reality. it's happened now. it's been announced this year. borders which have been in place for almost a century are being erased by isis as we speak. that gives an extraordinary head of steam to any ideological supporter of such, and it plays back into that famous bin laden

about strong horses and weak horse. at the moment isis looks like a strong horse. it's been able to seize major oil fields, major city in iraq, and that doesn't seem to have woken up the world. and that is an extraordinary recruiting drive. the second thing of course is there are a lot of people attracted because of the unbelievable evil and barbarism that isis perpetrates. there are people from this city and other cities across europe who are simply attracted to that. >> we got to wipe them out and shut off the magnet. douglas murray, you understand the danger. i wish other people did. congratulations on your book that's now out. thanks. >> thank you. coming up straight ahead, it's a foundation with a great cause. helping our heros and their families. today you can help, too, just by going golfing. >> there is brian with the president. >> one year ago. >> first on this day in 1984, "what's love got to do with it"

be out there on labor day. for you, what makes it special? >> well, we have such a great relationship with dan and everything he's done at folds of honor. we've been in this relationship since day one. it's obviously part of our mission, part of mission of our pga foundation, pga reach. and really with the 27,000 pga professionals around this country, we feel as though we're the boots on the ground that allow dan and the folds of honor to do all the great work they do for our veterans. and it's just a proud weekend for the pga of america. >> dan, someone with little kids at home, this really comes true. when you're out there as a fighter pilot, you know that those kids, if something happens to you, you got to wonder what happens to your kids. how does that resonate to make you form this foundation and put these scholarships for the children of the fallen? >> it is. if you look at we're at almost 8,000 recipients now. those are spouses and kids who have had someone either killed or disabled defending our

country. we wake up today on a beautiful friday down here in florida with someone you can't believe you get to sit next to, mr. nikraul. that's what patriot golf day is, an opportunity for americans to get out, play the game that brings us together that we love and give back, ensuring we don't leave any of these families behind on the field of battle. >> i just know one thing, from what i've noticed is there are so many patriotic people who choose the sport of golf and this time you get to play on a holiday weekend, as well as give back. jack, first off, how is your game today? >> i don't play much anymore. that's okay. i've had enough good days. now my days are more for things like folds of honor or patriot golf day and whatever. so maybe i'll get out this weekend and strike it a little bit and be able to put a little money into the coffers too.

why you have to just get another baby? you have two! this is exasperating. >> you're going to have another brother or sister you have to help take care of. >> that doesn't make no sense! >> the little boy totally not impressed that his mom is having a new baby. he says that he just doesn't want to hear all of the crying. those are your headlines. exasperating. >> thank you very much. >> she was under the impression you give a kid away when you get a kid. >> joining us now, geraldo rivera wearing something from the barak obama summer collection. >> it's not the suit. it's the golf. it's the fact that he was disrespectfully unprepared for the question. even if there is no broad overall strategy, here is how the president could have answered. he could have said, these barbarians have committed atrocities that cannot stand in the civilized world.

we are rallying our muslim allies and nato and our other friends around the planet. this cannot stand. we'll have more specifics coming up. but instead toible like that -- fumble like that and say we have no strategy, i think it's appallingly unprepared. >> he was prepared not to say anything. >> i didn't say anything either, brian. that's my point. you can say nothing and say a lot. you give a sound bite and you also let the bad guys know that cut the head off jim foley, the american, that we're coming for you. >> sure. instead of doing what you did, which would have been left the isis guys scratching their head, instead the president was very clear, he doesn't have a plan. listen. >> i don't want to put the cart before the horse. we don't have a strategy yet. i think what i've seen in some of the news reports suggests that folks are getting a little

further ahead of where we're at than we currently are. and i think that's not just my assessment, but the assessment of our military as well. >> so he has no plan. but yet we have another american journalist on deck to be beheaded. we have a situation where they have just murdered 150 syrian troops and taken 40 u.n. soldiers and have them hostage now. they're expanding right through the region. >> flashback just eight days when the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, general martin dempsey said it is impossible to deal with isis just in iraq. at some point we have to deal with them in syria as well. that was eight days ago. clearly the pentagon's thinking is for more evolved than the commander in chief's thinking. they paid a lot more attention to this problem than the president has apparently. i just think that they should speak. the pentagon should speak to the white house.

>> sunday he walked back what he said on thursday. he walked it back sunday. >> let me say what i said three months ago, two months ago, one month ago, isis represents an exist essential threat to the united states of america and our allies, israel, the suez canal, the euphrates basin, they are a problem that must be dealt with militarily, diplomatically, politically, economically. we have to crush them and the president has to get over his reluctance to use armed force. i can see his reluctance in ukraine. in ukraine it is very possible that economic sanctions will eventually take their toll. but in the middle east, vis-a-vis isis, this is -- i can't say it enough, it sounds alarming, but it is to me a miracle that one of these local jihaddists hasn't taken a suitcase bomb into the grand central station or on the george

washington bridge yet. they are coming for us. we have to hit them where they are. these columns are exposed. they're especially vulnerable to air power. we must do it. >> absolutely. and the thing about -- keep in mind, the pentagon, they put a million plans in front of the president. he just has to go i want that one, which he has not done. you bring up the lone wolf. we're two weeks away from 9-11 and you're terrified about somebody doing something stupid here as a lot of people are. i know you know that a number of these jihadis were from that school out -- our americans went to high school in the minneapolis area. daily beast has an article and says like castigather, mccain was killed after being dispatched on a minor mission against fellow muslims. the fact that they were expended for so little, despite possessing u.s. citizenship, suggests their masters in isis.

figures they will be plenty of jihadis available when the target switches from the immediate opposition on the ground to the enemy they call the great satan and where the great satan lives, i added the last part. >> i would like the president of the united states to say to muslim americans, you are our fellow citizens. we adore you. you are part of the american mosaic. we incorporate you. we extol the virtue of your wonderful religion. but i ask -- me speak as the president, you imams in the various mosques around the country, to begin preaching american patriotism. begin spotting these troubled youngsters, disabusing them of the notion that their first loyalty is to jihad or extreme islam. i think that we now have to recognize that this is an urgent situation. not merely the military situation in iraq and syria as critical as that is. but right here at home and in

great britain and other countries where there has been a tremendous diaspora of the muslim population. they are everywhere. we love them. they are business leaders, drivers, teachers. they are scholars. but there must be now a commitment by american muslims as encouraged by the president of the united states to be american first and to let the kids know that to be a jihaddist is a dead end street. >> i hate to tell you, don't hold your breath. we've been trying to do that. this president has been a very good friend to the muslims. he celebrate ramadan again. >> what are you doing this weekend on your show? >> this weekend we've got a special at 9:00 o'clock instead of the usual hour 10:00 o'clock. it is on anna nicole smith. i think you have the call. this is how we all really refocused on anna nicole. >> if you can please respond to the hard rock. >> room 607.

>> okay. >> it's going to be reference to a white female who she's not breathing and she's not responsive. she's actually anna nicole smith. >> never heard that. >> what killed her? who was responsible for giving her the drugs that killed her? we confront or interview every principle player in the sad story of the life and mysterious death of anna nicole smith. >> geraldo rivera, wearing a tan suit. >> last day. you won't see this again until next june. >> and then right to the smithsonian. thanks. watch this weekend. illegal immigrants, you now have the right to remain silent. really? should they have the same rights as u.s. citizens when they break into the country? then it's fight for old glory. a woman told her american flag must go, but she's not backing down. hear from her ahead. ♪ ♪ i'm type e.

common sense, we know that's not true. being deported is just going home. it's not punishment or time behind bars. and unfortunately, that's the way they have construed this. now you have this absurd situation where people who, before they accept what's called voluntary departure, are going to be read this list of rights and it's ad about deal for the american people. it's not necessary either. but think about it this way, voluntary departure is a really good deal for both the american people and for the alien himself. the american people get to save the expense and the time of removal hearing and the alien gets a pretty good deal too because if he voluntarily goes home, then he can come back legally the very next year. whereas if he went through whole hearing and he gets deported involuntary, he might have to wait three or ten years. >> this is the trend. think about what happened earlier this week. swamped by other major news, and the president lack of strategy. guatemalan women, all they have to do is claim domestic abuse

and they can now stay here. so that on the heels of the dream act from 2012 where anybody brought here as a child can now stay here. so little by little, we're just wearing down the border. >> you've hit upon a really important point. these things look like small steps in and of themselves. but together they're huge. let me mention the one you brought up. the notion that someone who is subject to spousal abuse can claim eye sigh lum? that's a huge change. that's been the holy grail for many on the left for years. asylum has an international definition and the definition is that you have a fear of persecution by the government. not by your spouse or by your significant other. but by the government. incredible fear of persecution. that's not spousal abuse and it will lead to all sorts of false claims, all kinds of people getting a green card who do not deserve one. all of these changes lead to the same result. more illegal. >> we'd like to help people. but we have to help them in their own country.

fox news alert. breaking news out of chicago, at least 15 people are hurt at o'hare international airport after a shuttle bus smashed into a median. we have just learned all of their injuries are minor. at least ten -- you're looking live at the scene. you can see about ten ambulances are on the scene. more on the way. massive delays obviously expected as all the lanes of the highway leading into that airport remain closed. now here is steve and peter. >> thank you. a fox news exclusive. chilling words from the convicted killer of the fort hood massacre, nidal hasan, in a

letter written from jail where he sits on death row, he tells the islamic state leader he wants to become a citizen of isis, of the islamic. quote, i formally request to be made a citizen of the islamic state. it would be an honor for any believer to be an obedient citizen soldier to a people and its leader who don't compromise the religion of the almighty allah to get along with the disbelievers. but can hasan, who was sentenced to death for killing 13 and injuring more than 30, give up his american citizenship? joining us right now, peter johnson, jr., who is outraged about this. >> yeah. technically in the law he probably can't, but i think we should change the law to allow him to do it. citizens can lose nationality if they pay an oath to a foreign state, if they engage in military service with a hostile nation, if they formally renounce citizenship outside the u.s. in an embassy or counsel, or formal renunciation under

certain conditions or treason or conspire to go overthrow the u.s. are we surprised that major hasan would make such a statement? are we surprised that this has been leaked out now in the most insidious, disturbing, sick way? this is a piece, unfortunately, of, well, waste, garbage. if he's renouncinhis american citizenship, then i say go to isis. go there today. he will be executed based on a determination by u.s. military court on august of 2013, it was determined he should die and so there will be appeals probably for the next three decades. it raises a lot of questions, though. >> absolutely. it's not surprising given the fact that even though the government said it was workplace violence, as he killed over a dozen people, but none the less, when he was shooting them down, he was screaming alu akbar. >> it's been released by whoever

leaked this thing to fox news for some purpose. i say the purpose is propaganda. i say that it is opposite to everything we think in this country and speak out in a forceful way to condemn the statements. what i will condemn and what we know is the quote attributed to mr. galigan, the civil lawyer for major hasan who somehow reasons that this is part of an appeal that he will be taking with regard to this sentence, that somehow there was some religious justification for the acts that he committed, and that these statements by major hasan prove he was a religious zealot, prove that his quote, religious beliefs motivated his actions during the shooting. whether this is a holy war, whether this is a crusade, whether this is al-qaeda inspired, whether this is isis conspired, whether this is religion, i don't care.

he has exhibited his unamerican tendencies. we should change the law to make it easier for him and all the other people who have now fled to syria to fight with isis. put them out. put them out now. we don't want them. keep them out. >> peter johnson, jr. saying isis -- well said. up next, our last summer concert series. torchson square. first let's check in with martha mccallum for a preview of what happens in 12 minutes. >> thank you. they sound great this morning of the coming up at the top of the hour, the threat of isis grows as the president says that we have no strategy to deal with this foe. we're going to talk to bret baier and karl rove. we'll have jack keane with us this morning. is the ukraine already going putin's way? we're going to talk about that as well when we see you right here on america's news room at the top of the hour vo: this is the summer.

♪ keep feeling fascination smoking with chantix. for 33 years i chose to keep smoking... ...because it was easier to smoke than it was to quit. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. it's a non-nicotine pill. chantix reduced the urge for me to smoke.

it actually caught me by surprise. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. if you notice any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix. don't take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you develop these, stop chantix and see your doctor right away as some could be life threatening. tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems, or if you develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. use caution when driving or operating machinery. common side effects include nausea, trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. i did not know what it was like to be a non-smoker. but i do now. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. an absolutely fantastic
