of a north carolina beach. seven victims there in three weeks. what is causing the terrifying uptake, it is all "happening now". >> a lot of news to get to. we start with the multimillion dollar settlement between five gulf coast states and the massive oil spill that killed beaches and sea life. i am jenna leely. >> and i am lillian viter in for jon scott. >> the oil rig deep water horizon exploded and burned. leaders from mississippi, alabama and texas announced a settlement with bp.

$18.7 billion. steve has the details from our miami bureau. >> reporter: jenna, if it goes through it would be the largest settlement in u.s. history. break down the 18. billion. texas will get 1 billion for the damage it suffered. alabama 2 billion and mississippi 2.2. and florida throe.5. and louisiana who suffered the brunt of the spill will get $6.8 billion. it will be paid over 18 years and florida's attorney ynl is calling bp a good corporate partner. >> the last thing we wanted to be tied up in a black hole of litigation that could have gone 15 or 20 or 30 years that perhaps our grandchildren would have seen the results of.

>> the explosion in the gulf of mexico instantly killed 11 rig worker ares and then crude oil in the gulf of mexico. 87 days before they finally capped it and 200 million gallonons of crude oil flowed in the gulf. the total bill for the worst environmental disaster for bp more than $42 billion. >> that is a step number. thank you. >> and we all watched as a quiet washington morning turned scary and chaotic911 call of a active shooter in the navy yard. they say there was never gunman or gun four. the washington navy yard was locked down for hours at the same base where a lone gunman killed 11 worker ares two years ago. it was prompted in part because of the earlier deadly shooting

and heightened security concerns that we have over the holiday woke week. catherine is following what happened in the navy yard and the big picture. hi catherine. >> reporter: there were three key factors that kicked in to play. the memory of the 2013 shooting of the navy yard and the second, the heightened threatened environment that we are leading up in the july 4th woke week and the third, the 911 phone call of reports of shots fired from the navy yard. what you can see, a massive police presence descended on the navy yard in southeast washington. and significantly deployed the national capitol region response squad. this is a squad that kicked in to gear when they believe there is a terrorist event or perceived terrorist threat. and so they were really like gun's blazing.

and all hands on deck down here in the navy yard. the key moment though late this morning when we learned that they had extensively interviewed the person who made the 911 call and at least saying there was no malicious intent. >> the person heard what she thought may have been gun shots and she made the call and that is what employees are trained to do. we have no concerns it was a hoax whatsoever. >> reporter: one of the things in the new's conference. the heightened threatened environment would not have dictated how they responding of the reports of shots fired. the dc police have made significant changes after there were significant laps during the shooting in 2013. but that said this did not happen in a vacum. our context told fox news, this is one of the threatened environments that they have seen

in the last decade heading in the july 4th weekend and to really underscore that. we know the fbi is setting up command centers in all 56 of the field offices in their country and in part. there is not a credible threat. but they are seeing the time span when someone made a decision to act, has been shortened. and so the concept of flash to bang is really short now and what the fbi is doing, is picking up people rather than surveying them in the holiday weekend. >> the stakes are so high. i understand why they are on edge. catherine thank you. >> there is a few reasons that people approximate were on edge this morning. we are seeing a heightened security ahead of the july 4th weekend. we talked about that a lot. and the washington navy yard is the scene of a recent tragedy.

a navy contract in 2013 opened fire and sparking a similar deployment of law enforcement. that gunman killed 12 worker are -- workers before he was shot. he searched for victims and the navy said alexis was discharged for misconduct. he was involved in a earlier gun incident in texas. that is the third false alarm in the capitol in the past month. a bomb threat forced forces to evacuate. and on the same day. buildings on capitol hill were evacuated after another bomb threat. a heightened sense of alert. and we'll talk about approximate this with geno a former secret service agent and now an international security

consultant. and great to see you again. a better out come than maybe we might have thought this morning when it comes to the crisis in the navy yard. we are looking at stories as civilians and you are looking as a security professional that has experience responding to threats. what is your big take away this morning as you see it? >> we are seeing a heightened security environment and this is important take away from this. where as in the past we had a terror structure based on a core al-qaeda and cell model, a terrorist cell model. you are seeing an eflougz of lone wolf type attacks and i don't like that term but self radicalized people who are radicalized on social media and youtube videos and seeing groups like isis leverage the technology. the problem, gen a you have what

donald rumsfeld referred to although he was panned by the speech. known and unknown. we don't know about lone wolf. that's what has the government so worried. >> the response was incredible i believe they are responding and ready to g. look at all of the aemgss responding to one report of one potential shooter with no real evidence. how dow see the it was orchesterated. >> if there was one positive to be generated from this this kind of became a training exercise. and although there are always going to be i hiccups. it was on the response.

remember, outside of new york la and washington d.c. there is a couple of police. local police department and sheriff. in washington d.c. you have police enitties within police. secret service we have uniformed and the agent side. the fact that it fls seamlessly coordinated and the response was immediate and overwhelming force in a situation like this. we thought it was an active shooter. it warms my heart a bit that we have ironed out the hiccups from the prior incidents in the dc area. >> that gives us comfort as well. what about the white house as well. we watched the security response in the naval yard. the white house getting enhanced security features worker ares installed the fence with the metal spikes. and trying to deter the jumpers

and they want to prevent scenes like this. omar gonzalez an army veteran made it all the way to the east rom of the white house. he was sentenced for 17 months for intrusion. do we active measures in place to keep the white house and other very important places protected? >> jenna, this is a tough question. but the optics in dc. how things look. and security and this fence up because it looks bad. this is a fight i had with white house staff since my time in the secret service. they are concerned about how it looks. politics in dc sadly nearly always wins out. we need a crisis to over come that and gonzalez was the crisis that got leverage to go forward

with the secret service and need to 56 it clearly. >> it took a long time. it is not like it went up right after he did. it just now? >> that is a good point and goes to show you the inertial and stops the improvements from taking place. i can't explain in strong enough terms jenna. when you are doing things for the president, the pressure from the staff to make it look nice. security should have an important seat at the table. >> spikes are envogue now. >> and well said people magazine. >> we want the president and white house safe as well. great to have your insight and thank you. >> thank you. >> and millions of americans

right now are heading to beaches to the 4th of july weekend. a danger lurks with a coast line. a man in fair condition after another shark attack in south carolina. you can see a mass of attacks. the victim was conscious air lifted to the hospital. he was swimming in waist deep water at the time. and he is the latest person attacked off of the carolinas. jon roberts is following it live in atlanta. >> reporter: good afternoon to you. it is not a shark nado but the number of attacks has scientist worried that something strange is going on this year. and one of the latest attacks tuesday evening before the sun went down. a 12-year-old was floating in

know deep water. and a wave came over them and in that wave was a shark. >> i felt like a pain in my leg and look back and i saw the fin of the shark and i yelled for my cousin next to me. get out of the water, i was just bit. >> he was able to get out of the water and he was stitched up and seems to have a great attitude considering he was bitten by a shark. there is a total of nine shark attacks. and all the way from the south carolina joefrjia border to the outer banks of north carolina where 6 million people will visit. yesterday a 68 year old man was bit in the rib cage and thighs. he had to be air lifted to the

hospital and a von north, a 47 year old had to punch a shark to get it off of him and eight-year-old son while they are playing. and they sounded a warning reminiscent of richard dreyfuss in jaws. >> spoken as a private individual in the areas where the shark attack occurred it would be wise to take people out of the water. >> stay out of the water. >> and john roberts, live in atlanta, we'll be right back.

convicted murderers escaped sparking a manhunt for throw weeks. among the changes, a new super tendent. caved sweat captured tells about his day on the run with richard matt. he had talked about the alleged plot of the husband of a prison worker that is charged with helping the men escape. joe, from your reporting right now, do investigators have a good picture of how they got out or putting together the pieces? >> reporter: they have a pretty good idea. it is not 100 percent yet. but they have the basic framework down and searching for a few of the details here and there to complete the puzzle. they pretty much know how it happen. >> we are watching them go down

the manhole that they came up from. they thought allegedly that joyce mitchell was going to be there with a get away car and they would kill her husband and make an escape from there. have we learned about whose idea it was and did she hatch the escape plan or them and they used her. ndavid sweat is saying that it was joyce's idea to kill her husband. her attorney denotices that. and so you know it all depends on how much you want to believe of what david sweat is telling investigators now. >> the new security procedures that are coming in. until now were escape proof and going to put gates in the tunnels and check the electrical boxes and check more cells every day for contraband. i wonder if a lot of people

aren't thinking it is a miracle more people didn't escape given the major laps. >> yeah this is a point of contention since it all started and even well before. we know a lot of people that work there. and a lot of these steps that were not taken previously were items that the staff had always called for and were told explained to us that they were denied the steps because of budget concerns in albany. albany said that that is not the case. they point to the fact that the correctional budget is up. depends on how you nitpick that. we'll see how the heads role. and joe, your reporting has been

news. we just received. u.s. military cancelled july 4th celebrations in the largest air force base in england. the cancellation over current local threat assessments. as the united states raises itself guard over the holiday. the homeland security committee released the territor threat snapshot. the number of home grown plots tripling. foreign fighters are up 80 percent and the total number of isis related arrests in the united states increasing five- fold. and the chairman of the committee said we need to take the increase in activity more seriously. and we'll bring in major bob scales. general scales, it is great it see you. we are talking about something brighter but the military cancelled the july 4th

celebration tells us something. what does that say? >> it is reflected in military base worldwide. i was going to walter reed medical center and there was a guard standing there with an automatic rifle. this is in reaction to the publicly announced threat by isis over the 4th of july to target military personnel and their families in the holiday. i think a lot of what happened in the navy yard is a reaction to the for that frankly is endemic in the military communities. it is one thing to risk your life in afghanistan, but another thing to come back home in the united states with loved ones and have them threatened. it is a sign of the times. >> you listen to law makers, we generallyized here the big take away they are telling us in not using words, but makes us feel

like we are sitting ducks in this situation. it is coming but don't know when or how and that causes anxiety rightfully so and i can't help but think that the terrorist are winning then. >> exactly right. and the source of all of this is isis. and isis is winning until there is a serious military threat to takedown the attractiveness of isis to young men susceptible to being recruited it will amplify. the real strength of isis in iraq and syria has grown to over hundred thousand. and that includes front line fighters and support personnel. and until the until can discredit them in the world. i can't why they would be. >> and the number of home grown

fighters. and we think that they are effective. they tell a different story. what can we do to change this around? >> war college 101. if you defeat an enemy strike at their vulnerable center of gravity. and until you can threaten them militarily and a coalition can take them on and show the rest of the world they are indeed vulnerable to external threat their popularity and embrace of the terrorist world is going to grow. you can only kill a beast b striking it at its heart in iraq and syria and we'll not see that happen for another year and a half. >> our viewers are wondering if we can see the time line. >> it is a topic. number one state sponsor of

terror. iran is taking a hard line. we saw it on the news wire general scale. it is demand nothing the nuclear agreement to reject the inspection rules and they are threatening to ramp up enrichment if we put sanctions back in place. and the question for you today, do we have a plan b, before i get to that general scales some think that plan b would be military operations and biggest nonnuclear bomb. and this is dropped from a b-two stealth bomber. some of us have them and some don't. mainly israel. what is the plan b general scales? >> plan b as far as the military is concerned is a large scale air campaign. this is not just bombing a single nuclear reactor in

iraq. this is a days if not week's long campaign and to go after the deeply buried facilities in iran and those on the surface. but the bottom line there is two bottom lines here number one, the administration is going to do the deal no matter what the bad consequences are. and the military strike against iran even if it is temporarily effective is a long- term negative. that gives the iranians a blank check to complete the nuclear program. iran will build a bomb now it is time to think beyond that. right now, once the agreement is signed, the deal is done. >> what do you mean? >> once iran gets the bomb which will happen quickly once it is signed we have to think about defending israel and increasing the quality of the anti- missile forces both in the united states

and europe and israel. and we have to start thinking of a post nuclear world in that includes iran and north korea. those are not happy thoughts. but there is no reason why they should not gettet bomb. they are. >> how do you keep yourself from being depressed. you don't so many depressed. what is the key? >> in my case the answer is beer over the fourth of july. >> i asked the question and it is a fair answer. >> all right. cheers. we'll take it. >> keep your head down and happy 4th of july. >> thank you, too, sir. >> and right now, millions of americans are loading up the car ahead of a big holiday travel weekend. >> hopefully general scales will wait to drink until where he is

two examples to ponent out, you can go too far. you will not see walker waving their finger or a hug. that will be that. and governor chris christie caught a lot of flake over the hug with the president the. president obama in wisconsin today here are four times scott walker bested him and lifted collective bargaining and recall election reelection and right to work. is this enough in the sense to put a real devoid between president obama and scott walker so when he heads to iowa people can't nail him with a picture of him? >> i think the media will make more out of. this i don't think republican

primary voter care that scott walker will shake the president's hand. we have seen rick perry do it and other governors do it. scott walker has pointed out that you know unemployment in wisconsin is lower than the national average and he created the state as 17th. and he has all of the talking points to use ashes round the visit to make his points to differentiate himself from the president obama. but in the end he is not running as president obama and trying to win the republican nomination. >> we'll so about his speeches and i want to get your thought on donald trump who is getting a lot of attention over the past couple of weeks so long as they spell my name right it is good publicity. maybe they may not play well in the media but in the polls.

terrorism. >> you think about the entire american public being engaged. at some level is this what isis wants? we all of a sudden hear the july 4th celebrations have been canceled at some air force bases in the uk. isn't it what a terrorist organization wants to do is change our way of life? >> they would like to do that but they're not succeeded. they're succeeding at getting us angry. i believe what's going to happen is the president of the united states will have to wake up and say, you know what we'll fight them on their territory. decapitate them in iraq and syria and do the job. yeah. a couple events have been canceled. they probable had credible evidence that there could be an imminent attack. new york city, chicago, san francisco. i could go down the list of cities and in thousands of communities across america are celebrating the fourth of july. >> a number of cities command centers are being set up in case there is a possibility of an

attack. what we saw today at the washington navy yard, the massive and overwhelming police response has all the billions of dollars been spent since 9/11 mean that agencies are really able to respond effectively in the face of some kind of attack? >> absolutely. we had not seen that before. what you saw was an extraordinary response. you had air assets sea assets ground assets local and county police state police and federal law enforcement agencies come together within minutes, coordinate an effective teamwork effort to secure that base. >> very interesting. as you look at it in terms of the threat assessment going forward, we went from al qaeda, which was focused on huge spectacular attacks, think 9/11 and the u.s.s. cole. think isis who says do what you can where you can, even people who are inspired by them in the united states. catherine herridge was reporting, the moments from being radicalized to actually being willing to carry out an attack have been shortened.

is it possible to round up each and every one of these people ahead of time? >> you can't expect miracles overnight. the fbi are responsible for us not being attacked since 9/11 in that scale. but i can tell you this that we're in good hands. our military our local law enforcement and federal law enforcement agencies are coordinating and working together. and you know what. my message to isis is sooner or later you're going to get what you deserve. >> in the meantime we're going to celebrate the fourth of july. >> this is america. we're darn proud of it. >> steve rogers appreciate your insight. >> thank you very much. now this fox news alert, terrifying scene in eastern tennessee after a freight train carrying toxic chemicals bursts into flames forcing thousands from their homes. fire officials say they got the call just before midnight about the csx train fire in the town of merriville about 20 miles

south of knoxville. csx says the train was carrying a hazardous material used for taking industrial plastics. the fire and fumes forcing at least 5,000 people to evacuate from their homes. our senior national correspondent john roberts is live in atlanta with the latest. john. >> this happened at a beautiful part of the state of tennessee, really the gateway to the smoky mountains, almost right in downtown mariville. if anybody has been there, they know how beautiful it is. csx says the train originated out of cincinnati headed to way cross, georgia. they contained a highly flammable chemical used in the manufacture of abs plumbing pipe that you get from the local home depot. apparently an axle broke on one of the cars. this shows a level crossing torn up and train wheels on the ground. they don't know how it happened though. the police chief told me the

break punctured the tank and sparks ignited the fluid inside. because of the toxic nature of the chemical which turns into gas when burned they evacuated around there. they went door to door telling people to stay with friends or relatives or go to a local high school or shopping mall. it looks like they're going to be out there for a time as well. a number of first responders had to be treated for contact with the gas which is very toxic. it burns you as well. the sheriff's office says that first responders are being kept away from the site of the accident at least for a little while. for the time being, the plan is to let the fire burn itself out. csx doesn't have any idea how long that's going to take. one concern is that there are two cars of the compound on fire. so far it appears that the fire is contained to one car.

csx has the full emergency response team on site. they don't know how long it will be before they can get to the train car to attack the situation. it should be very soon. there is also a concern over a contamination of well water in the air from both the chemical inside the tank and from the burning of the chemical inside the tarningnk. they're conducting tests of air and water and providing water to people living nearby. you've been covering a lot of big stories today for us. you have exclusive information as we turn to politics. this about a democratic challenger for the white house. what have you learned? >> just change the graphic on the monitor. there are now as of this afternoon five democratic contenders. former virginia senator jim webb will send out this nine-page announcement to his friends and supporters via social media probably on his facebook page later on this afternoon. in which he says quote, after

many months of thought, deliberation and discussion i have decided to seek the office of the presidency of the united states. webb has got just an amazing background going all the way back to the 1960s. he has of course been a senator from virginia for one term. he was assistant secretary of defense. he was the secretary of the navy. he was a rifle company commander. rifle, platoon and company commander in vietnam. he was awarded the navy cross. his big problem will be money. he actually alludes to that in the statement in which he says i understand the odds particularly in today's political climate where fair debate is often drowned out by huge sums of money. he'll bring something unique to the race, which in places like iowa and new hampshire could overcome his deficit with money. jim webb throwing his hat in the race or president on the democratic side. >> john thank you. >> thanks. from the democrats to the republicans. the gop race for 2016 is taking no holiday as the candidates head into the july 4th weekend.

chief political correspondent carl cameron is live in washington. we watched president obama arrive in la crosse, wisconsin. just as we were done with the segment he was going to be greeted by governor scott walker. a lot of drama playing out on the tarmac. >> it's not uncommon for republicans to do a dance before the president shows up. sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. this time scott walker did meet the president. and today he also filed his papers with the fec to formally become a president to greet mr. obama also as a gop candidate who wants to replace him officially. it will be interesting to see if the president mentions him later in his remarks. he confirmed what we've been reporting for a month that he'll announce on the 13th in milwaukee. he gets to ride a little bit of the president's coverage too. walker leads the polls in the caucus state of iowa and runs second to bush in new hampshire

and south carolina the first two primaries and runs second to bush nationally. he is not likely to raise as much money as bush. bush could raise as much as a hundred million. he'll report it this month. mr. walker won't have to deal with that. he gets in late. his first big reporting quarter won'ting until the end of -- three months from now. the superpac that's supporting him is said to have somewhere in the neighborhood of $40 million. big day for scott walker. a chance to take a little bit of the president's visit and use it for himself. >> you mentioned that poll. walker running first in iowa second in at least one poll is donald trump. i wonder what are the other candidates on the gop side saying about trump and all the controversy we're seeing surrounding him? >> lots of controversy. jeb bush was in nevada. a woman in the audience asked what he thought about trump and he replied in spanish saying he

spends his life fighting with people and doesn't represent the values of the republican party. george pataki is in a twitter battle with him right now. people like senator ted cruz say they love trump. he is entertaining but he splits the party. he is totally unconventional and unpredictable. politicians hate unpredictability. trump shoots from the lip. he has a loud-mouth style. that could brand the republicans. at least that's what some are worried about. the democrats are gleeful. they think he has the potential to be kind of a court jester who can embarrass the court. >> we'll see who is right on that. thanks carl. full disclosure on a texan by way of marriage. i already know this. you don't mess with texas. governor greg abbott telling sites to give the lone star state back its gold. latest battle between texas and the federal government. vermont senator bernie sanders gaining ground in a big way on hillary clinton. drawing some of the biggest

what's going on here? chief white house correspondent ed henry is live on what some are calling bernie mentum. is this for real? >> it might be getting more real. a think a lot of people dismissed it at first. look at these pictures from last night in madison, wisconsin. bernie sanders had 10,000 people turn out for a rally. more people were waiting outside trying to get in. obviously, i've been out on the road a lot with hillary clinton. other than her big event in new york which was 2.0 of the rollout, she has gotten nowhere near those kinds of crowds. i think the bottom line is bernie sanders is getting a lot of attention, as you can see from those pictures. and he has a message that is certainly resonating on the left. >> what we are saying to the koch brothers governor walker and all of those people is that

this great country and our government belong to all of the people and not just a handful of very wealthy people. >> you can certainly say progressives are eating that up, the rhetoric. as more and more people hear it especially some of his views, bernie sanders recently suggesting he would be willing to accept a 90% tax rate for the rich you may see his numbers start coming back down to earth, jenna. >> we'll wait and see. in the meantime he is basking in the 10,000 he just had last night. john roberts reported to us at the top of the hour. jim webb entering the race. you had some information on vice president biden and his possible bid for the white house. what's up with that? >>. >> there is a draft biden movement that's been out there for some time. it took a bit of a break, understandably so after the tragic death of one of vpice president biden's sons beau. now that he is back to work the

draft biden movement is pushing him to get in. if he does it advisors to the vice president say he has to decide by the end of august. look at this quinnipac poll in iowa. hillary clinton with a commanding lead of 52%. bernie sanders is at 33% because of the energy and momentum he has been getting. joe biden at 7% in the poll so he's going to have to get in in order to get this going if in fact he's going to do it. there are a lot of people in democratic party circles who don't think in the end the vice president will go ahead. you mentioned john roberts reporting about jim webb getting in. in the poll in iowa webb in 1%. getting pressure from other candidates but they have a long way to go to actually take her out. >> great to see you as always. thank you. as jenna knows, everything in texas is bigger including withdrawals. what will the state do with a

billion dollars in gold that they're going to get from the government? plus a truck explodes just outside a city market. and police now say they have an idea of what may have sparked this powerful blast. listen up team i brought in some protein to help rearrange the fridge and get us energized! i'm new ensure active high protein. i help you recharge with nutritious energy and strength to keep you active. come on pear it's only a half gallon. i'll take that. yeeeeeah!

right now we're getting new clues in the cause of a large explosion in downtown savannah georgia. police are still investigating, but they say friction between pressurized gas cans not properly secured could have caused the blast. the truck was hauling the cans. destroyed the truck and sent shrapnel flying hundreds of feet. thankfully no one including the truck driver was seriously hurt.

switching gears to the economy. mortgage rates on the rise. mixed news out of greece. average fixed rate mortgage raising just over 4% this week. highest since october. joining us from our sister network, fox business networks jo ling kent. what do you make of this mortgage rate? >> it's a tick up. it means that there is a demand now. now that the weather is getting better people are going to shop for homes. you also see the demand affecting prices in places like denver, san francisco, home prices are also ticking up. >> does that mean when the mort rates go up we see home prices go up or down accordingly because it's getting more expensive to get a loan? >> it's getting more expensive and the demand for homes is going up. that's why you see the in tandem rise. a lot of it has to do with the fact that there are more jobs now and people are getting hired a little bit more.

today's jobs report notwithstanding. you see people are making more money. and so the demand goes up then you see the rates creep up a little bit. >> mortgage rates right now just above 4%. in historical context is it high? not high? >> as we were talking about earlier, it's kind of an emotional mark to see it go above 4% indicates you'll have a little bit more demand and that things are looking up overall for the real estate market. >> refinancing, we can't forget that when it comes to mortgage rates. >> yes. >> a story out of texas caught our attention. apparently texas wants to send a strong message to the feds and they literally in texas want to take the gold that's not in the state, that's stored here in new york city downtown manhattan -- it's here in new york. they want to take it back from the yankees and bring it back to texas. tell us about this story. why? >> the governor, who is a republican signed a bill saying that he wants to bring all of

this money, these gold bars -- we're talking about 500,000 gold bars that weigh 7,000 tons to bring it back within texas borders. the idea here is that they can boost their gold reserves. but really this is about something else. this is about potentially having more control over their gold. it's within texas borders. there is the whole idea of potential potential secession one day. >> will texas be the only state to do this? will new york say we'd like our gold bars back? >> it seems idealogical in the sense they want the gold reserves in the state in case anything happens. you have to remember. texas is the second largest economy in the u.s. right. so they have a little bit of heft when it comes to doing this type of thing. as you look to other states who probably store their gold in new york city as well it's basically the standard to store some of your gold elsewhere.

it just seems like an interesting move. >> we'll see if they figure it out, how to get the bars back and if it happens. >> there is no way they're flying it in the air. >> too heavy. >> i could see some big ford pickup trucks. >> jo great to see you. >> leland. big weekend coming up for the potential presidential candidates. they're criss-crossing the country trying to win your vote. a fun-filled family boating trip turns into a nightmare. this was the end result. one woman with two broken legs. we're going to tell you how a leaping dolphin caused all of this. holy guacamole. how one of the country's favorite dips could be the thing that brings republicans and democrats together finally. they're getting together against "the new york times." ♪ ♪ guacamole ♪

blaze was not the result of arson. this follows a series of fires at black churches in several southern states after the charleston church massacre. a ferry carrying 189 passengers and crew capsized minutes after leaving a port in the philippines. so far we know of 35 dead, 20 others missing. most by nearby fishing boats and the coast guard or even some who had to swim to safety. the president in wisconsin today speaking at this hour on the economy. and the governor of that state, scott walker a republican who is expected to announce his white house bid days from now did something some democrats don't even do. he actually greeted the president. but governor walker is making it clear that the bright spots in wisconsin economy are because of state levels not federal efforts. he wrote an op ed today. quote, to be sure wisconsin's economy has enjoyed a dramatic

recovery over the last few years but our fortunes have improved of in spite of the president's big government policies. reforming our bloated federal government is essential to revitalizing the nation' economy. i like to think what we've been doing in wisconsin could serve as a model. joining me a former bill clinton polster and guy benson fox news contributor and political editor of townhall.com. guy, everyone was looking at this moment on the tarmac. is it a jan brewer moment chris christie moment. was it any sort of moment? >> no. it was a relatively cordial, polite moment. scott walker is a statesman. last year when scott walker was up for re-re-election he's won four elections in three years. the president came to his state in the middle of the fight. scott walker's democratic opponent was nowhere to be found.

there was walker there to greet the president. he did it again today. the right thing to do. good for him. >> bernard, i'm curious your thoughts on this. someone who has worked on campaigns. what do you make of the president deciding i'm going to go to wisconsin to talk about the economy? is that because the economy in wisconsin or because scott walker is thinking about the white house and maybe it would be a good political move to be there? >> it makes perfect sense for him to go to wisconsin. it's a major state. it's fundamental to the growth of the economy overall. it's no surprise scott walker is looking to the voters of iowa because the voters back home in wisconsin actually don't like him very much and would actually disagree with most things he raised in the op ed. 56% of wisconsin voters disapprove of scott walker's performance. 53% think the state is headed in the wrong direction under his leadership and 3/4 oppose his proposals on education. i think he's looking for an exit

strategy on wisconsin. >> guy? what do you think. >> three times in four years, second one being because the democrats raised a quick recall attempt. every single time scott walker beat them the state is up with jobs unemployment down. he is doing a terrific job there. and they've had opportunities to voice their pleasure or displeasure and he's still the governor for a reason. >> interesting. wisconsin is a hot spot. senator bernie sanders was there. his presidential campaign seems to be picking up steam, at least if you look at his rally in madison, wisconsin, last night. he attracted nearly 10,000 people. this as he's making headway in iowa and new hampshire. bernard, what about bernie sanders? we look at the polls. you mentioned the quinnipiac poll. hillary clinton is still ahead but has dropped 26 points in the last several weeks. do you think bernie sanders is telling us something about an opening here perhaps for another candidate for the democratic

nomination for president? >> no. good for bernie. i like his name. i think that he adds to the debate and adds to the conversation. i think hillary clinton welcomes that wisconsin the participation of those who might want to challenge her for the nomination nomination because it's made her a stronger candidate. the facts are his appeal is quite limited. his experience is limited. his views are very much to the far left of the party. his standing certainly has improved somewhat. but it trails hillary clinton by 30 points or so. if you look among different constituencies women and people of color, bernie sanders' appeal is quite limited. he is popular among far left white guys. >> i should have disqualified you with the name bernie. i apologize to our viewers. it's unfair bias. guy, let me ask you this question about bernie sanders. he's gathered the biggest crowd that we've seen from any presidential candidate. republican or democrat. what can conservatives learn

from bernie sanders? is there a lesson in here for conservatives. >> i agree with you. bernard should have recused himself from the entire answer. >> you're not allowed to talk about presidential candidates named guy. >> fine by me. bernie sanders' crowd size is not necessarily an indication of someone's actual support. you're right, though polling is moving up for him and he is improving. i think that's underscoring more than anything the weakness of hillary clinton and how there are a lot of people within her party who are looking for really anyone but her, even if it's sort of a dishevelled socialist like bernie sanders who represents some really failed ideas. but i'll say this about bernie sanders. in his defense. honestly. he is earnest in his beliefs and honest about who he is and what he thinks. i think those are traits lacking in mrs. clinton. >> maybe perhaps something that republican candidates should pay attention to. glad we'll be able to fit in this story because it's a serious one. probably the biggest social

network story of the last 24 or 48 hours. president obama and jeb bush are coming out on the same side of the great guacamole debate. if our viewers don't know what happened this is "the new york times" came out and decided to give a recipe that included peas in guac was a good idea. and people were furious about this! guy and ber narndnard jeb bush tweets about it the president tweets about how this is a bad idea. bernard, who knew. peas in guacamole? really. >> i'm glad we're bringing them both together. i celebrated pride weekend by having a giant bowl of guacamole at my favorite mexican restaurant in new york city. so i applaud republicans and democrats coming together to fight against peas in guacamole. >> you fight against peas in guacamole. leave this up for a second. can you go back to that. the tweet sent out from "the new york times" that started it all.

it says add graeneen peas to your guacamole. trust us. someone responded to that and said i'll never trust you ever again just because of that. i mean this is a big issue, guy. >> shame on "the new york times." this is an abomination. it's not natural. i can't help but wonder would this even exist if not for obamacare? once again. >> you just found a way to bring it back to health care. the president says he is not for it guy. he said he likes traditional guacamole. no peas. >> i'm with him. i don't engage in name politics because i'm 100% behind hillary clinton. sorry, bernie. >> we can all get together with the guacamole. nice to have you guys here. end on a positive note. happy july 4th. the president is speaking right now, making remarks on the economy. he hasn't mentioned the guacamole so far, but we will of course mention that to you if he does. the other thing he's talking about is overtime pay, which is something else he wants to push as part of his agenda over the

next couple of years. you can watch the whole thing, by the way, hear the president's comments live an foxnews.com. there were heart-stopping moments for a california family. they were out for a day on the water enjoying it when a large dolphin leaped into their boat. talk about a fish story. as you might imagine, things did not end up so well. william la jeunesse is live with the story. hi william. >> leland blood, screaming, broken bones. disney this was not. you have to give the dolphin credit for height. it totally missed the landing. here is what happened. the family is out for a fishing trip when a pod of dolphins began swimming alongside. jumping, diving and spinning. one misjudged where it was going. >> i knew right away he was going to land in the boat because of the way he was facing. knocked me backwards and then landed kind of on my feet and

ankles. >> it was pretty much chaos at that point. my wife falling down. she was screaming. the dolphin was making screaming noises. my daughter was totally freaking out and screaming. >> had to keep the dolphin away from the family, had to try to get on the radio and make distress calls at that point. >> i wanted to make sure i helped him out. gave him a bucket to put on the dolphin and follow me to the harbor to get people to assist to get it off. >> he said it looked more like a crime scene than a flipper show. the 350-pound dolphin was stuck with bloody cuts on its nose and tail. the mom had two broken ankles. they got the dolphin out of the boat and released into the water. taernt apparently it's okay. everybody has a fish tale that nobody believes but with the cell phone evidence dirk can prove it. >> pretty soon the dolphin was

this big. william la jeunesse live. thanks. the investigation into the prisoners who escaped from the maximum security prison earlier this month. richard matt killed by police. david sweat is in custody. we have this news. investigate, asking people to check out seasonal hoemgs,mes or vacant areas. anyone who finds something suspicious should call the new york state police bureau of criminal investigations on the number on your screen. we'll keep you posted if we hear more. investigators are issuing a new report on a plane crash that killed 43 people last year. what investigators are saying the pilot did in the final seconds that likely brought that plane down. and the feds now are taking a hard look a some of the nation's biggest airlines over possible price collusion. what it could mean for your travel budget. plus crews have been battling a massive fire at a

coming up at the top of the hour we'll meet up with a navivate ran who is trying to do something no american has ever been able to do. he is planning to swim the entire length of the mississippi river from where the river starts way up in northern minnesota all the way to the gulf of mexico. the reason? to help out an organization that looks out for families of our nation's fallen warriors. we followed him along the way part of route in america's heartland. he admits he faces a tough road ahead. >> only one person in the world has ever done it. no american has done it. that's a challenge right there. >> a labor of love it is. shepherd smith reporting exclusive. we'll show you how this journey is honoring fallen heroes and how the people he is meeting along the way are inspiring him

to keep on swimming. top of the hour. i can't wait to see that shepherd. >> i hate peas, shep. the pea farmers, forgive me. >> i think i've had it four times at a fantastic restaurant inside abc home store near, is it union square? >> so delicious. when it first said it has peas in it i'm like i don't need that then i tasted it. it's amazing. >> people in texas think's unamerican. >> go ahead and think that texas. i can't get in the restaurant anymore because everyone is going to try it. >> i have a feeling they'll let you in after this. >> can't wait to see you. top of the hour. >> thanks. we'll move on to a pretty serious story out of michigan. a massive fire there last night. the smoke visible for miles.

we have eye-witness video to show you now. [ sirens ] >> holy -- the question is what's on fire. firefighters say household chemicals stored inside the family-run business helped spark the fire. nearby homes were evacuated for a short time. the cause of the fire is still under investigation. the feds are now demanding answers from this country's biggest airlines. the justice department wants to know if the airlines are getting together to keep capacity low, the number of seats, and thus prices high. four carriers delta, southwest, american and united control roughly 80% of the domestic flying market. the airline industry shrank after a series of bankruptcies and megamergers over the last decade. mergers the justice department approved. joining us now commercial pilot and publisher of jet wine.com. appreciate you joining us sir.

over the past couple years the airlines have had record profits. stocks soaring, fuel prices going down. the question is did the airlines get smarter and become better at their business or were they colluding and trying to do something essentially wrong to pad their own pockets? >> that's the million dollar question leland. that's what the doj is trying to figure out. it's going to be a long road because they're going to have to have some really really specific information, documentation that shows these airline ceos were colluding for this specific purpose. i think part of it is just the strategy that we've learned from our mistakes. maybe i am being optimistic. we've learned from our mistakes and we're trying to grow slowly and hence the profits. >> the airline trade association put out a lot of numbers. they cited d.o.t. statistics. they said capacity is the highest it's been in a number of years, and they also say that

air fares have gone down. if you're buying a ticket right now for summer travel you may not necessarily agree with that. do you think there is a lot of folks, especially passengers and for that matter some airlines the smaller airlines who are wishing the department of justice had been tougher about these mergers so there would be more airlines out there, there would be more competition? >>. >> i think there are always going to be people that believe that. let's face it. the airline industry is one of the few industries that we as americans love to hate. the prices are always too high. there are never enough seats. the cab always too full. but when we really want to go to california or florida, we just suck it up and do it. >> exactly. we all end up somehow ending up buying another plane ticket. i wanted to get your take on this as a former commercial pilot. new information coming out now on the transasia airways flight in taiwan. you remember the plane that crashed and hit the bridge on the way down after takeoff. a new report says the plane's

captain mistakenly switched off the working engine after the other one lost power and that he failed a flight training a year earlier. 15 of the 58 peer -- people aboard the flight survived. how do you have somebody who is flying a plane who filed the flight simulator training earlier? could this have in the united states? >> well, it has happened, probably not with those kinds of fatal results but it happens all over the world and it proves again that sometimes some people are just not cut out to be pilots. it i also approves sometimes the regulators look the other way when they shouldn't. this is a pretty common training error, and we are trained from early days not to panic because the airplane will fly on one engine take a breath, give it two seconds and figure out for certain what is going on.

sometimes people rush it. >> deadly consequences. see what liability the airlines might have since this guy was flying. rob mark, appreciate your insight. >> you're welcome. >> we certainly can't get enough of this guacamole debate. therer is a triple threat for the of avocados. if you take multiple medications, a dry mouth can be a common side effect. that's why there's biotene. it comes in oral rinse spray or gel so there's moisturizing relief for everyone. biotene, for people who suffer from dry mouth.
