12:30 pm
hope to see you right here next week. america celebrates this weekend, the birth of a freedom-loving nation while law enforcement keeps a sharp eye out for threats to that freedom and to our safety. hello, and welcome to america news headquarters. >> officers across the country including here in new york are watching out for potential terror threats tied to the sim poll symbolism of the july 4th holiday. homeland security is urging agencies to beef up security at high-profile locations as worries grow about isis and its efforts to inspire terror here at home. peter doocy has more now on the safeguards from washington.
12:31 pm
>> right now fbi agents are fanned out across the country. monitoring parades, games and concerts from 56 command centers set up at field offices ready to react and respond to any threat that pops up in their region. and this beefed-up independence day posture supports what other big cities are doing as well like chicago where officers are working 12-hour shifts to make sure big events like the grateful dead concert are safe and boston where the banks of t the river are heavily guarded. and in new york where the biggest fourth of july security response ever in the big apple, boats equipped with radiation detecting equipment are patrolling the hudson as helicopters with special surveillance capabilities hover high above the skyline. >> this is the most energetic series of warnings that i've heard coming out of the fbi or dhs in a long time, even members of congress are giving us
12:32 pm
warnings i think it's because of the high volume of social media traffic coming into the united states from overseas and i think they believe -- i know they believe -- that somebody's going to pick up on one of these messages to make jihad on the united states and i think that's why they're so concerned and rightfully so. >> there's been a push to accelerate arrests of suspected isis sympathizers even hauling some in on lesser charges just to keep them off the streets. and while there are no specific threats, the nature of isis means that authorities must prepare for potential notplots by lone wolves like the duo that tried to shoot up the art show in garland, texas, kelly? >> peter doocy reporting from washington thank you. in the meantime new developments in the intense negotiations over iran's nuclear program ahead of a tuesday deadline. tehran and six world powers reportedly reaching a tentative agreement on sanctions relief for the islamic republic. the issue of sanctions have been
12:33 pm
one of the biggest sticking points as all sides work toward a final nuclear deal. chief correspondent james rosen is live in vienna with the details. james, what's happening over there? >> reporter: kelly, good evening from vienna where lower-level experts below the sec testify of state and foreign minister level are said to be reaching agreement on literally hundreds of issues some of them related to sanctions as the iran nuclear talks enter what u.s. officials call the end game. now, it all points along the way aids to secretary of state john kerry have emphasized that the north star for the talks remains the framework agreement reached in switzerland in early i'm. that agreement was not a formal text per se but a tet of parameters for a final accord. quote, to get from there to an agreement that can be implemented, a senior ums official told reporters here late last night, it's almost like you double click on the subheading and then elaborate all the information that needs to come underneath it in order
12:34 pm
to explain how it works. like in the real world. and in the process of that elaboration, the official continued, there are a lot of issues that then need to be resolved that are technically consistent but they could go in a number of different directions depending on which side of the table you're sitting on. >> we have never been closer to a lasting outcome, but there is no guarantee. getting to yes requires the courage to compromise. the self-confidence to be flexible. the maturity to be reasonable. the wisdom to set aside illusions. and the audacity to break old habits. >> reporter: finally the head of the international atomic energy agency the iaea freshlglyy returned from a visit to tehran told reporters here in vienna this morning that his agency could wrap up his four-year
12:35 pm
investigation in to the pmd, the possible military dimensions of iran's nuclear program, with iranian cooperation, by the end of this year. of course, it remains to be seen if the iaea will have a running cooperation in that effort. they've been waiting for it for four years. kelly? >> it sounds like iran is playing a mean game of chess right now, the stakes are very high. >> reporter: chess or chicken perhaps. >> all right. james rosen. thank you from vienna. well we are just hours away from a critical vote in greece on whether to accept or reject a bailout from international creditors to keep the country afloat. the referendum coming on the heel of greece defaulting this week. banks now closed. cash being rationed. if greece goes under europe stands to lose at least a trillion euros. greg has the latest. >> here inreporter: here in greece
12:36 pm
there's a pretty important vote coming up tomorrow the voters will decide in a yes-or-no referendum to go along with a european union debt bailout for greece. polls show the vote is too close to call. 44% on each side. the rest undecided. it's all happening as the banks here remain mostly closed. atms barely churning out cash and officials say the money might run out here by next week. unless the european union delivers more funds. the greek government of prime minister cypress is pushing the novo saying it will help him bargain with the eu the eu sels it won't and yes backers worry that greece could leave the euro in the event the no vote wins. there are even worries that many voters might not be able to make it to their home election districts to vote tomorrow. they don't have the cash. patty ann? >> greg palkot in athens, thank you. more violence in asia where security officials say a
12:37 pm
roadside bomb killed a child. plus a group tied to isis said it fired three rockets across the border into israel while the they rally the troops. and insurgent groups assault aleppo and syrian troops responding with deadly air strikes. conner powell has the latest from our mideast bureau in jerusalem. >> reporter: significant fighting across syria, rebels connected with al qaeda's affiliate in syria launching a massive attack on aleppo today. reports suggest their progress has been mixed, and amid very fierce fighting rebels seizing several syrian military sites and equipment, but also being pushed back in other areas of aleppo. the stakes are very high in this key city. aleppo is an area that extremely important to the assad regime
12:38 pm
if it were to lose it would signal a serious weakening of the ability of the syrian government to project its force and military might outside of the sort of maybe city of damascus and into other crucial areas of the country. but nearest damascus the regime troops are supported eded by lebanese hezbollah fighters. this is a strategic city that sits on the main highway that connects beirut to damascus. it's an area that rebels have controlled really for several years now and it's an area that pro-assad fighters have been pushing to try to gain control, it's really been a thorn in the side of the assad regime not to have it and so backed by the hezbollah fighters they made a real push there. what we're seeing across all of syria is sort of the sand table shifting back and forth, the front lines. and heavy fighting some of the heaviest fighting we've seen really in months taking place just in the last few days. the weather is obviously warm in
12:39 pm
syria and it's the middle of ramadan and we're seeing heavy fighting a big push by both rebels and also by the assad regime trying to sort of take new territory but also to defend key areas, kelly. >> conner in a tough situation for those caught in the middle. conner powell reporting from jerusalem, thank you. stuck in the air, several dozen riders stranded on the largest ferris wheel on the east coast. and is the big supreme court win for obamacare turning up the heat on the gop presidential hopeful's? i'm greta van susteren and we have so much to be proud of here in america, incredible rights and freedom like no other nation. but do you know what tops my list making me proud to be an american? my military. i've spent so much time with these courageous men and women, from protecting us to providing humanitarian relief to people they never even met. i have to give a shout-out to the military families who have
12:40 pm
sacrificed so much for all of us. yes, they all make us proud. thank you. and i'm proud to be an american because i have those great military families in america that protects us. when i started at the shelter, i noticed benny right away. i just had to adopt him. he's older so he needs my help all day. when my back pain flared up we both felt it i took tylenol at first but i had to take 6 pills to get through the day. then my friend said "try aleve". just two pills, all day. and now, i'm back for my best bud! aleve. all day strong and try aleve pm now with an easy open cap.
12:41 pm
12:42 pm
welcome back. time for a quick check of the headlines. nine people suffer minor burns due to an accident a fireworks show in colorado. officials say a malfunction caused the fireworks show to explode in its tube causing a rack of shells to tip over sending two or three toward the crowd. more than 60 riders all safely evacuated from the largest ferris wheel on the east coast. you're looking at it right there. a company spokesman said the operating system for the orlando eye indicated a technical problem, automatically shutting down the ride as a safety
12:43 pm
precaution. and hot dogs and burgers may be on the menu today for many but overseas some of our top troops are enjoying pizza instead. the chicago-based pizza for patriots arranging for 5,000 pies to be shipped to afghanistan and another 1,000 to kuwait. congratulations. the supreme court's decision on president obama's health care law is putting new pressure on republican presidential candid court upheld federal subsidies to millions of americans last week dismissing one of the biggest legal challenges to the law. the ruling also turned up the heat on gop white house contenders to come up with a concrete plan if they want to repeal and replace the affordable care act. let's talk about that with john fund columnist for "the national review," thanks for joining us. >> thank you. >> if all or part of obamacare is repealed what would replace it? who among the republicans has a plan? marco rubio has some specific
12:44 pm
alternatives tax credits to individuals to afford coverage on their own and a high-risk insurance pool for people with pre-existing conditions. what do you make of rubio's ideas? >> well they fit in the broad framework of what the republicans are trying to argue for which is more consumer choice less bureaucratic restrictions less mandates on employers and employees more flexibility in the kind of insurance you can buy. so the details have to be worked out, and i'm not sure how specific some of these candidates are going to get unless they become the eventual nominee. but the big challenge is going to be how do they counter the specifics of what hillary clinton is going to be proposing? that is going to be the great clash of ideas in 2016. >> yeah hillary in support of many of the broad strokes of obamacare. what arguments do republicans have to take to win enough votes in congress, you know including democrats, to repeal parts of this law? >> well with the exception of
12:45 pm
the medical device tax which could be overriden from a presidential veto i think they're going to have to wait until they have a republican president. but hillary clinton also has problems because she's going to have to say, well i agree with obamacare, after all, pretty much it's the broad outline of what i proposed as hillary care but obviously there are problems. insurance premiums are going up a lot higher than obama promised a lot of people have had their coverage dropped. people are unhappy with the plans because they have very high deductibles and even ifsidized you have to pay. the republicans and democrats will have a clash, hillary can defend obamacare, i can make it better and fix it republicans will have to say, hey, you're the wrong person to fix obamacare because these bad ideas came from you. >> yeah the talk is if a republican is elected president he or she would try to take the law apart gradually bit by bit. and as you mentioned first off would be the tax on medical
12:46 pm
devices. the industry says the 2.3% tax will cost jobs it's going to close some of the smaller medical device companies, it's going to discourage research and development. the house already voting 280-140 to repeal that tax and that's with a lot of democratic support maybe even veto proof. do you see this tax as the first to go? >> well yes. because if you look at the states where medical devices are made they include massachusetts, where elizabeth warren doesn't like the tax. it includes minnesota where al franken doesn't like the tax. two very liberal senators. the bottom line is obama was basically looking for nickels and dimes under the couch cushions to pay for obamacare and he came up with this tax which all it does is hurt one of the most innovative export-oriented industries america has. the one thing you don't want do in a time of economic stagnation right now is hurt a successful american job and product exporter. >> yeah. one of the challenges that people are saying exists is that this law is going to be seven
12:47 pm
years in, you know it's going to be really established by the time -- >> sure. >> -- there's a change in administration whether or not it's to a republican and that just makes it harder that it really is going to have to be a very slow movement away from this law if at all. you can't just to it overnight. >> no. but if you -- if you establish a basic principle, which is that a private consumer-driven system is better than a public bureaucratic one, you can make some substantial changes. many of the subsidies in obamacare's exchanges could become tax credits which flow to people regardless of their income but obviously higher tax credits who really need to buy insurance. you allow people to buy across state lines. you have many more competitive products available, you can quickly show even as you are slowly dismantling it that consumers will be better off and there's going to be less bureaucracy. that can come pretty quickly.
12:48 pm
>> john fund thanks for joining us. happy fourth. 40 years ago this summer the movie "jaws" made us afraid to go into the water. but now meet a man who want people to know there's more to sharks than just sharp teeth, as shark weeks gets under way. we have a preview. also police nationwide wrapping up security keeping a close watch for any potential terror threat this holiday weekend how they're keeping you safe while you celebrate. hi i'm colonel brian shrebis serving in kabul, afghanistan, with the resolute mission, i'd like to wish my family back in kentucky a very happy fourth of july especially my wife who is holding down the fort. i'd also like to tell my brothers and sisters in uniform a happy fourth of july as well. hope you guys enjoy the weekend. happy birthday, america. vo: with beyond natural dry pet food, you can trust our labels. when we say real meat is the first ingredient, it is number one.

12:51 pm
the long fourth of july holiday means a trip to the beach for many of us. a lot of vacationers in north carolina are talking about sharks. scientists looking for patterns after seven attacks in that
12:52 pm
state. in oak island where two swimmers were bitten last month the town is taking precautions. a helicopter crew is keeping eye on the surf. >> this weekend is the start of shark week. the discovery channel series that allows viewers to pry into the lives of these predators of the deep. one man goes out of his way to get into their environment. acting more like a gentle giant, joe romero joins me now. shark whisperrer that's quite a title. what would you be whispering to the sharks right now off the coast of north carolina? a lot of people are afraid to get into the water down there because of the fact there have been so many attacks. >> well what's going on right
12:53 pm
now is a trifecta of three different things. warm water is pushing hard off the gulf. there are bay fish and sea turtles migrating right now. the predators follow them. you have people entering into these murky waters. it makes for a higher chance of a shark encounter. >> the north carolina shore is a beautiful coast line. a lot of people like to go out into the deep there. like you said it's murky. i get nervous when i'm going into murky waters because i don't know. i just don't know. i have covered stories where sharks have bitten people as far as away as virginia beach. >> the sharks are foraging inside the water looking for the natural food supply. they would bump into something and investigate with their mouths because they don't have hands. sharks are not targeting people as a food supply. >> okay. so let's switch to you now. and shark week and all the
12:54 pm
things you've been doing in the water with these beautiful creatures i should say. a lot of people look at them and think they see something sinister and ugly. something that will eat you alive. these are beautiful specimens of god's creation in the water. you get a chance to actually be out there with them. tell me about your experiences. >> i've dived with sharks all over the world. but i think some of my most memorable experiences are the close interaction i've had with sharks. i've had sharks that are very rare come up to me. i've had sharks come up because of the electromagnetic current running through my camera because of the metal hitting the salt water we've had sharks investigate my camera and hold on to it and stuff. we've had a lot of exciting moments. i'm privileged to do it. >> we're looking at big ones. i think i just saw a great white. i've seen hammer heads. you've touched the hammer heads.
12:55 pm
tell me about that and you're presenting this film to cause people to be more protective of sharks? >> 70 to 100 million sharks die every year by the hand of man. compared to humans you have more chance of a falling vending machine falling on you. >> i'm looking at you touching a hammer head shark. >> they are beautiful creatures. the hammer head shark which grows are to be the largest of the hammer heads is very endangered. that's a rare encounter to have that type of shark. >> are your efforts, do you think bring -- will it bring more understanding so that people who are not aware of how gracious these sharks are, will they protect them more rather than going out hunting them down and killing them? >> well, understanding comes through confrontation. i think sometimes when you
12:56 pm
educate yourself about a subject you'll know more about it and will understand these animals are not man eaters. they're beautiful creatures that are doing what they normally do in their ocean. >> you said it right. in their ocean. and you got into their ocean and you were actually able to swim with them. which was amazing and surprising to see all that you've been able to accomplish. you got out of the cage. i don't think i would have done that. >> well some of these animals pose very little threat to humans chtdyou can dive safely with them. >> i'm looking forward to the series. it's phenomenal to see all the work you're doing. i know you're doing it for the right reasons and that's to protect the sharks. we'll be looking for it and of course we'll look for that and more everything you bring to us. that's tomorrow promo shark week starting tomorrow on discovery channel. i read it like i saw it. i am the anchorman. thank you. all right.

1:04 pm
meeting with iranians officials in vienna say they have reached a tentative deal but had deal is not complete and the proposal has to be presented to foreign ministers. sanctions have been one of the major sticking points between the u.s. and iran in negotiating a final agreement. we're now learning the man suspected of fatally shooting 32-year-old catherine steinly in san francisco should never have been in the country. it terms out the suspect has seven felony conviction and had been deported five times. will carr is live in our west coast boroughurr bureau. >> sanchez has a long wrap sheet and san francisco is a sanctuary city which means it doesn't recognize federal immigration law. in march, sanchez was in federal custody. behind bars. but immigration and customs enforcement turned him over to the san francisco sheriff's department to face a local
1:05 pm
outstanding warrant. still behind bars. yesterday ice released a statement that said the department of homeland security indicates ice launched an immigration detainer on sanchez at that time. requesting notification prior to his release so ice officers could make arrangements to take custody. it was not honored. on the local side listen to the chief counsel for the san francisco sheriff's department. >> when he came here he came because he had outstanding criminal charges here which were marijuana related possession and possession for sale or sale of marijuana. those charges were dismissed the next day. >> when that happened the san francisco sheriff's department let sanchez go. then wednesday he showed up to pier 14 a big tourist destination along the waterfront in san francisco. according to police he allegedly pulled out a gun and fired randomly hitting 32-year-old catherine steinly an
1:06 pm
innocent bystander. she collapsed into her father's arms and later died at the hospital. >> that's the only solace i've got. that's it. is that we were so close. >> she was just a young woman. starting to be in her prime. >> her parents obviously very emotional there. they say they're relying on their faith to get through the tragic situation. at the same time there's a lot of finger pointing going on about accountability here including we've been hearing from donald trump who has had comments that were controversial over immigration. this morning trump spoke about this on "fox and friends." >> you would think that no matter where you are in terms of party affiliation you'd want to do something about this. the crime is raging, raging. people don't want to even talk about it. if you talk about it you're a racist. >> one federal official tells me there is no way that sanchez should have been a free man and
1:07 pm
should have been on the streets this past wednesday. will carr live in la thank you. and we'll have more on this case and how it's playing into the debate over the sanctuary cities with our political panel in less than 15 minutes. on this independence day there is plenty of celebrating happening in our nation's capital. i love the sound of that, those bands, the drum corp running look constitution avenue for the country's biggest parade for america's 239th birthday. the party is far from over. kristin fisher is live on the national mall taking in all the sights. hey, kristin. >> hey, hello from a very rainy national mall. it just started to pour rain out here. happy fourth of july to you. aside from the rain and clouds
1:08 pm
it's quite nice out here. it's not too hot and it's not keeping thousands of people from coming down to the national mall to celebrate our independence day. in fact we are still several hours away from the start of the bick fireworks, look, this is the line to get through security. there are people still going in. this is one of many security checkpoints around the washington monument perimeter that everyone who wants to get in there for the fireworks will have to go through. from that point, no one can bring alcohol, fireworks, weapons, no drones. people have been turned away for trying to have drones in there. they're not allowed. you are seeing an increase security presence because of all the potential terror alerts we've been hearing about over the last two weeks. not too much more than previous july fourths. earlier we were down on constitution avenue for the big parade. thousands were out to watch the bands and floats and big balloons come by. thousands of people were there. rain didn't stop them in.
1:09 pm
i actually have some folks who were at the parade. they're staying out in the rain for the fireworks. they've come all the way here from florida. this is y'all's first time here for the fourth of july correct? >> yes it is. >> what do you think so far? >> so far, so good. real. >> you're not letting rain scare you away? you'll stay here for the fireworks? >> yes we'll be here enjoying the fourth in the nation's capital. >> for people who have never been out here on the fourth of july. what's it like? >> oh, so many more people. it's all different. >> and you know we've had so many concerns about our security and whatnot. you are not worried being out here? >> not really. not really. >> you can't live in fear right? >> yes. >> all right. thank you so much. happy fourth of july. i hope the rain stops so you can enjoy the fireworks and happy fourth of july to all of you. we'll be out here throughout the

1:14 pm
a quick check of the headlines. nine people suffered minor burns do to an accident at a fireworks show in colorado. officials say a malfunction caused a fire works shell to explode in its tube. that caused a rack of shells to tip over sending two or three of them toward the crowd. vladmir putin is congratulating president obama on this independence day. putin expressing confidence that russia and the united states can work together to find solutions to international problems. marching in fourth of july parades in early voting states is a tradition for politicians seeking the white house. hillary clinton among those out campaigning today. here she is working the crowd in
1:15 pm
new hampshire. according to federal agency the man suspected of fatally shooting this woman, 32-year-old catherine steinly, there you see her in san francisco. was a convicted felon. and should never have been in this country. the suspect francisco sanchez has seven felony convictions and has been deported five times. this case is raising questions about the policies of so-called sanctuary cities like san francisco which means it doesn't recognize federal immigration law. let's bring in to discuss this tammy bruce, radio talk show host chuck roacha. he's the president of solidarity strategy and the fellow for the center for policy. here we have this case when a woman and her father are just having a good time near pier 14. a popular tourist attraction in san francisco. and this guy goes out allegedly
1:16 pm
and opens fire striking her and killing her and she dies in her father's arms. tammy, what do we make of these sanctuary cities? what should be done about this? >> this is first of all, happy independence day. this is a difficult story. this about the sovereignty of the country, the choices we're making as a nation and within the community. the fact of the matter is though there are many sanctuary cities. frankly president obama's immigration plan are working to make the entire nation a sanctuary nation. it comes down to a parallel track. where the rule of law does not apply to one group as it does to american citizens. in this case president obama has implemented a project attached to his immigration policy that tells law enforcement that you shouldn't go after individuals who are not here who in a documented way who have committed drug offenses or identity offenses when it comes to identity theft.
1:17 pm
so you've got cities like san francisco that point to the federal government saying that this is the federal government's policy. they have a rule they don't want to be spending money to go after illegal aliens to commit what they consider low level crimes. what you have is an entire community of people where the law doesn't apply to them. >> i got to get you in here. seven felonies and deported five times. and yet he's allowed back into the country. >> first of all, my heart and prayers are with this family on this senseless violence that happened. our immigration system is broke just like you said. and president obama has tried to do something about it through an executive action that the republican had blockblocked. if that would have went through this guy would have been detained and exported again. we don't want immigrants like this in our country. we want to keep families together. we want to fight for law abiding people who aspire to be americans. people who want to come here and be a fabric of this countries.
1:18 pm
we're not advocating for that we want to see those people sentssent back. >> let me break it down this way. this will obviously into the campaign debate among republicans and democrats donald trump as you know made some scathing remarks about mexicans and he's tried to dial that back. he wanted to say this morning here on "fox and friends." he says something has to be done about this. the crime is raging and should be addressed. yes, he's right about that. the problem is the point i'm getting to. every time this comes up that family will be wounded again. >> look the problem i think for all of us because the community'scommunity communities affected first is the community of immigrants. 36,000 criminal illegal aliens were released by iso. that includes 193 convicted
1:19 pm
murderers. we could keep deporting people which we tend to not do and they walk back over the border. we know this is constant argument about securing the border. we have to make sure that the rule of law applies to illegal aliens as much as to anyoneentialanyone ls else. >> i got to give chuck the last word. >> this is the exception not the rule. president obama's administration by the numbers has deported twice as many people as george bush. this is the exception because most immigrants who come here want to be part of this country. what happened to that family was senseless it should never happen to anybody's family ever again. >> we'll end it there. thank you for joining us. if we can, happy fourth of july to you as well. >> prayers to everyone. >> okay. >> thank you. tough transition as we

supporters and opponents are making their voices heard in athens while the prime minister makes his final pitch for a no vote. increased terror attacked around the world prompting concerns for more violence. an isis group claiming responsibility for attacks in israel. the group firing three rockets from egypt's peninsula. 17 soldiers and 100 isis fighters have been killed in fighting this week. the pentagon says u.s. drone strikes in syria killed a senior isis leader the attacks good news for the u.s. and its allies. still, there are set backs in the fight against terror around the world. let's bring in retired navy captain chuck nash. this latest attack that happened from egypt going into israel is it a pro or is it really isis
1:29 pm
showing its presence? >> i think it's isis showing its presence and showing that the egyptian government cannot control that area. and matter of fact the isis group that you referenced is calling it the sinai province of the caliphate. so they have moved in. it's harassment attack against the israelis. not meant to do that much damage. those missiles are meant to be fired in packs. it's called the hail missile is what it translates to in english. it's meant to be fired as a group. they all hit, they're not very accurate. it was harassment. >> we're grateful to know no one was hurt in that display of isis terror. we do want to know from you, is isis now trying to show that it has close proximity to israel? if that's the case how should the united states be reacting or responding to the fact that our
1:30 pm
strongest ally in the middle east is now in the cross hairs of isis? >> this is where and why we should be supporting the egyptian governments, president el sisi. what's happened is over the years, the egyptians have treated the sinai peninsula with benign neglect. the troops that are out there are not their top troops. a lot of them are operating with old russia equipment. it's a conscript army. their main troops are around the main population centers of egypt. you've got these troops that are out there in the desert. and the al qaeda group swore allegiance now to isis. and so you've got that mix going on there. again, you find these militant terrorist groups allying with the strong horse in the region and that strong horse is isis. >> the other thing we haven't talked about is the fact the
1:31 pm
muslim brotherhood seems to be the callulprit. isis reached out to them and carries out this attack. who else knows what else they can do if this isn't brought under control. >> there again, that's up the egyptian government. and when the muslim brotherhood killed president sudot in that famous massacre at the parade where they went out and killed everybody, the muslim brotherhood is behind -- if you trace the lineage of all the terrorist groups in the middle east 90% will go back to the muslim brotherhood. they're at the core of anything like the iranians are at the core of all the trouble in southwest asia. all of these groups have something common. that something is they're trying to overthrow the current status quo. and that's where the egyptian government needs to step in. the israelis are capable of protecting themselves >> of course they are.
1:32 pm
you know as well as i know that the people in the middle east they recognize and respect the strong man. now, just about a week ago, our -- one of our top anchors here bret baier of special report did a documentary, did a special program called crossing jordan. and in that he interviewed the king of jordan who has been having a -- connecting a campaign against isis and terrorists. will others follow him like egypt? >> if they don't it will be the end of their governments. these people are not going to give up. isis has billions of dollars, with a b, billions of dollar' worth of currency that they've captured out of banks. some of the other things when they took over mosul last year when they took over mosul, there was 88 pounds of uranium in a
1:33 pm
research reactor at a university there. so you know not to make a real big deal out of too much of this but the fact of the matter is the more territory they take the more banks they overrun, the more research facilities and military installations they overrun. if you're in a seat of power in the government in the middle east right now and don't realize death is at your door you're not paying attention. >> it's a good points. death at your door. we do know the prosecutor general was assassinated last week by those forces that are basically sympathizers to isis. so the president of egypt has been calling for some type of action. egypt will have to follow that precedent. >> exactly. and when they took out that -- lead prosecutor essentially, in egypt, when they killed him, assassinated him, just right after that president el sisi said everybody who has a death sentence on them that's been

1:43 pm
vaccination law. dr. radcliffe is here to discuss the issues. she's an md in private practice. this woman had apparently visited a hospital where there was a measles patient. the woman was vaccinated but she was immuno compromised. the thing is she didn't show the classic measles system the rash and they didn't even know she died of measles until they dit the autopsy later. what does this say? do we need to be more vigilant of thinking of measles? >> it's a highly contagious respiratory virus. she died from pneumown cunia caused by measles. she has an autoimmune disease. she is one of the people along with those who have cancer or being treated with chemotherapy that do -- particularly at risk

for measles. >> how contagious is it? it's air born. >> very contagious. if i were to have measles i'm talking breathing i sneeze cough. it can linger in the air for up to two hours after. if i use a phone it could be contagious for several hours after. >> measles is not that serious in most people it's not. this woman died and there are other severe complications. >> one to two out of every thousand people will die who have measles. this can be highly preventive. we have a vaccination for t. we want to talk about, when people get vaccinated it decreases your risk to 5%. making it unlikely particularly somebody from another country comes he that it can fall upon them and make them sick. >> the reason for the rise is
1:45 pm
several reasons theismjust possible vaccination injury and just concerns about the government forced drugging. address some of these concerns. >> it's important to ask questions about what we're doing with our children. when it comes to vaccinations because parents care they're asking questions. in 1997 it was a british surgeon that published a paper saying there was a link between mmr and autism autism. they thought it was fraudulent and he lost his medical license. unfortunately it's an urban legend that's lingered. we have concerns about that. we need to look at fact. what we call science. we can't sit there and go by what people is saying. especially something so important as our children. >> what about this california law, facebook all the other social media are on fire with the back and forth on whether or

1:51 pm
senior special writer at the "wall street journal," thanks for being with us. >> thanks for having me. >> how big is this rivalry? >> it's a big rivalry but very respectful rivalry. i don't think these two teams dislike each other. but they really feel at this point that they are the two best teams in the world and they've proven it. the 2011 world cup 2012. this is the rubber match. >> they've proven it, but there are critics who say japan only made it to this final because they got lucky in the last game when a brit accidentally kicked the bowl into her own goal. also the game is being played in canada which many people consider it almost a home game for team usa. do those give the u.s. an advantage? >> i think they do give the u.s. an advantage. but look, the main u.s. advantage is that they are bigger stronger and faster than any team in the world and certainly they're bigger, stronger and faster than japan. however, japan has this tact
1:52 pm
dach advantage. you'll see they're very good with the ball at their feet and they're very good at holding possession of the ball, which is something the u.s. is not so good at and that can undo them at times. >> so it's usa's speed against japan's technical skills. who would you say are team usa's biggest weapons? >> it's interesting. the big weapon normally in a game like this would be abby wambach. she's nearly six feet tall. she has been coming off the bench, though, for the u.s. in recent games she just is not as great as she once was. 35 years old. but going up against japan she may see more action, especially if the u.s. really needs a goal in the second half because she has a distinct height advantage against the japanese who are one of the smaller teams in the world. having said that, carly lloyd mid fielder has made this team

go all tournament long, really the past three years. she's the key player. if the u.s. wins, she'll probably be the most valuable player of the tournament. >> so do you think the hype over this game is helping to promote women's sports in general? >> i think absolutely. you walk the streets in vancouver today yesterday it's really crawling with families and especially families with female children. there are just a lot of young soccer fans out there and a lot of young girl soccer fans out there. they're pumped up by this team. they love watching it and i think that can only help women's sports grow. women's sports, i have to say are pretty big in the u.s. already. >> yeah. for sure. all right. so what's your prediction? >> i think the u.s. wins this game. i was at the game in 2011. it was really a fluky loss.
1:54 pm
japan scored just with seconds to go to tie it up and the u.s. was so shaken by that, they just never sort of had time to recover before the shootout. they should have won that game. the win in 2012 at the olympics, it was tight at the end but the u.s. really sort of dominated that game. they were up two goals for much of it. i just think they're better than japan right now. these teams play ten times the u.s. will win seven or eight of them. but it's soccer and it's one game. it's not a ten-game series. as long as they bring their best game they'll win. >> all right. i like your prediction. i don't like the idea that 35 is old, though. anyway. >> it's old in soccer years. >> i agree. okay. so you can watch this epic rivalry between team usa and japan play out on the big fox network tomorrow, 7:00 p.m. eastern time. don't miss it. >> so you can still get out there and play.
