including appearance. thank you to all who responded. >> we hope that you have a great weekend. see you at 5:00 a.m. "fox and friends" starts now. good morning to you. it is friday, august 18th, 2015. a bombshell in the case against bowe bergdahl. new details from his trial. he planned to abandon his fellow soldiers for weeks. >> people's lives were put at risk. people died directly because he did walk away and chose to walk away. he needs too pay for his actions. now he needs to stand up for it. there's repercussions for your actions. >> what should happen to the deserter, bowe bergdahl. carly fiorina riding high off her debate a couple of nights ago. this particular showstopper right here. >> i dare hillary clinton, barack obama to watch these tapes. >> okay.

you know what, hillary has responded. how? just wait. >> oh, yeah, you're not going to believe that. the ladies on the view, hold your ears elisabeth, don't mess with nurses. the multimillion dollar fallout after they mocked a miss america contestant for wearing scrubs on stage. >> it will make you sick. >> we'll talk about that. >> what would it be without elisabeth interrupting my call to open. >> the entire thread. i'll come back. i have a little bit of a temper. >> the thing about brian, you ever notice during the breaks he's counting the number of words you have and i have and he has. it's all about face time. >> we play a little game. we try to steal each other's reads. now i took your camera shot.

>> we have nine talking points and they're all going to get our passion going. elisabeth, i excuse you for interrupting. thank you very much, father. >> meanwhile, let's talk about something you just saw in the cold open. down in san antonio, that man right there, deserter, that's my opinion, sergeant bowe bergdahl, pretrial hearing going on to figure out if there's probable cause to proceed to the court-martial. yesterday an army prosecutor said that mr. bergdahl planned to abandon his post for weeks. last night, bill o'reilly had on a member of bergdahl's platoon who essentially said bergdahl, who we risked our lives looking for, he was a selfish guy. listen. >> people's lives were put at risk. people died directly because he did walk away and chose to walk away. ambushes went up expo tension any.

ieds, there were a lot more ieds. we were hit by a lot more. it became intense. everybody was put in a dire situation. the whole region. he needs to pay for his actions. he did something and now he needs to stand up to it and, you know, there's repercussions for your actions, repercussions for leaving your men and equipment and walking off and being captured. >> he's facing a maximum life sentence there. it's alleged that he mailed home items, such as kindle, laptop and tried to have pay diverted to his grandmother. >> planning. >> weeks before. >> we came under criticism because there were reports that he wrote his dad and said what do i do? i don't want to basically stay here. his dad said you got to follow your conscience. after two or three weeks of him saying he thought he was going to leave, he actually left and he seemed organized in his departure and there were reports and it did come out yesterday,

there were a guys out there, an american looking to find the taliban. so he was in search of that. by the time the search was done initially, 80% of the vehicles had to be repaired. almost inoperable because they were wrecked. it's important to point out, his commanding officer for his case said he thought he was a pretty good soldier. he had no idea about the mental problems he had. >> bowe bergdahl's attorney is trying to bring in somebody to say he was high at the time and didn't understand what was going on. >> that makes it okay. >> he was sold to the nomads there. they're going to bring that in. still yet to be determined whether he will testify himself. >> could happen today. meanwhile, four minutes after the top of the hour. something else, carly fiorina had a really good night a couple of nights ago on cnn when they had their biggest night in history. more people watched the fox debate than the cnn debate. not that i'm bragging. carly fiorina, during the

three-hour telecast made this challenge. listen to this. >> in regards to planned parenthood, anyone who has watched this videotape, i dare hillary clinton, barack obama to watch these tapes. >> that's simple. would she watch the tape? >> so it's natural after that for someone to ask hillary clinton, by the way, have you watched those controversial tapes? here's what happened. >> i know that there's a move on by some of the republicans in the congress to actually shut down the united states government over their demand that we no longer give federal funding to planned parenthood to perform the really necessary health services that they do for millions of women. let's put aside for a moment here that there is no debate and there should be absolutely no argument that planned parenthood does cancer screenings, it helps provide family planning and

contraceptives. it provides difficult counseling when it comes to giving an hiv test for example. what this is about, is the fact that some of the planned parenthood facilities perform abortions which is legal under the laws of the united states. >> she didn't answer it. >> it's a prehistoric answer. before those videos surfaced of baby's hearts beating as carly fiorina wanted to challenge hillary clinton. how can you answer like that? how do you do that? >> she sees this argument as i have an idea, let's do the long-winded thing thing. it was a woman that said it. this thing is switched, especially with that video out. >> plausible deniability. if you support it, she's not to watch it and go on with your early talking points. >> should have said, mrs. clinton thank you for that answer, you didn't answer the question.

did you watch the video? that's all carly fiorina was asking. did you watch the video. instead she had a defense of planned parenthood. the rap is that the federal funding does not pay for abortio abortions. we give the -- the federal government gives planned parenthood money. but the abortion, the money has to come out of the pocket of the woman getting it. there wouldn't be a building or staff or have life. the money is fungible. >> if you can watch the video and say what you just said, maybe we'll have a discussion. at least watch it. why deny yourself the information? >> remember, she is a grandmother. i'm thinking she won't have the same reaction. she can't play is both ways. even the greatest hillary supporter has to be panicked.

look at this picture, ed henry took it and tweeted it out. he covers her. this is basically a half empty room in a town hall. this is not only an opportunity to hear her speak, not to ask her questions and people are saying i don't want at that opportunity. >> she doesn't answer the questions. don't go and ask the question she's not going to answer. it's frustrating. it's a problem for hillary clinton. >> one other problem for hillary clinton. there are a couple of stories out, apparently one of joe biden's big fundraisers was on amtrak and talking real loud on the phone. somebody behind him apparently was writing down what he was saying. apparently he was saying joe biden is in. 100%, joe is going to be in. more bad news. >> i absolutely think he was. also in, heather nauert. >> i'm looking at her. >> that story is coming up. i'll bring more details about that. >> homegrown terrorism.

a 22-year-old new york man accused of making what the friends describe as relentless attempts to join isis. he even ranted on twitter that he was ready to die for that cause. investigators say that ollie saleh tried to travel to syria several times but was turned away at the airport. he's accused of using social media to talk to contacts. the illegal immigrant accused of murdering kate steinle is due back in court today. francisco sanchez is held on $5 million bail. the judge ruled that there is enough evidence to try him for second-degree murder. sanchez, a convicted felon had been deported from the united states five times and admitted that he was in the city of san francisco because of its sanctuary city policies. baltimore police will soon be wearing body cameras. the police department announcing a program that will equip 1400

officers with the small recording devices. the cameras will be deployed in july of next year. it will cost taxpayers more than $7 million. that program will help with accountability and community relations. here's what steve was talking about. vice president joe biden is all in, at least according to a draft biden official who was overheard blabbing on the phone. train passengers heard super pac adviser josh alcorn say, 100% joe biden is in for a 2016 presidential run. the question is, when will he toss his hat into the ring. it could be mid-october. another passenger saying that test ads were doing well in converting hillary clinton supporters to joe biden supporters. wow. better be quiet when you're talking on the phone. those are your headlines. that is something else, huh? >> especially on amtrak. >> we rarely hear those stories. >> just stay in the quiet car. thank you very much, heather.

let's talk about the view. it's been a while. that show has gone downhill since you left. >> i know it. >> you're not even exaggerating. thar rotating and bringing back people, include joyless behar. so is michelle collins. they were ad libbing, having a talking point on miss america contests and they focused on the talent portion. >> when miss colorado came out in her scrubs and stethoscope, this is what they had to say. >> the talent, i have to say, the woman who sang opera, incredible. really good. then there was the girl who wrote her own mondologue. >> she came out in a nurse's e-mail uniform and basically read our e-mails out loud. >> why did she have have a doctor's stethoscope around her neck? >> she helps patients with alzheimer's is not funny. i swear, you had to see it.

>> how elitist are you to say you rolled your eyes and wrote her own monologue. >> parentheses -- you know who took care of my grandfather who died of alzheimer's. my 2-week-old baby, we almost lost him to a horrible infection here in new york city. you know who prayed over that baby, a team of nurses. when i had surgery last year, nurses walked me up and down the halls to make sure i could come back to health. i can't believe that's a parentheses comment they would make about miss colorado as she bravely read e-mails from patients and showing her heart. it was heartless on their part. johnson & johnson and egeland's have pulled out in responsible shop right now and nurses unite was trending yesterday. i'm sure they're going to do something about that today. two major sponsors yanking

support for the view there. i get it. i was far from perfect when i was there. sometimes you say things. but this was something, if you're rolling tape, you thought about it. you knew what you were doing. >> it wasn't breaking news. they should have known the story. >> joy behar said i didn't know what the hell i was talking about. no kidding. >> the explanation? >> that will put out the fire. >> they've apologized and millions of dollars taken away from the view. >> e-mail us. fighters in europe hiding among fleeing refugees. we've been talking about this. one reporter said it's not hard to do. he'll show us how they can do it apparently legally. alex trebek is tricked by a jeopardy contestant. >> what is the love ballad of toured ferguson -- the question and answer have you laughing all morning long starting now.

syrian passport. an identity card and driving license from a forger. so just how dangerous is this? very. here with more is the senior reporter with the daily mail.com who purchased those documents. nick sage joins us live from london. good morning. thanks for joining us. where did you hear that it was possible to buy for $2,000 these perfect copies of syrian passports and drivers licenses and things like that? >> i was first aware of this report by the chief of the european union border agency. he said that his offices discovered people using syrian passports to claim they were syrian to come to europe and claim a new life. >> right. i traveled to turkey where i met a forger who offered to create me one. he told me that members of isis and their families were using the documents to gain new

identities so they, in turn, could come to europe with the many thousands of genuine refugees >> that's the scary part. because they come to europe, they come to the united states and they become sleeper cells and they're waiting for word, aren't they? >> that's certainly what the forger told me. i was unaware of that when i traveled to turkey. but these are the words he used to tell me what is happening. >> nick, there's a reason these documents look real and that is because they are real, right? >> that's correct. these are -- let me show it to you. this is a genuine syrian passport book. as you can see, inside it has my photograph. i've never been to syria. i can't speak arabic. what has happened is when the regime collapsed, the institutions of the regime were taken over by the opposition forces, including isis. they would raid the buildings, take all the documents, which they knew were valuable and give

them to forgers. the forger was asked to create new documents for the isis fighters and was given others spare documents to sell. >> so they are real. real quickly, this is terrifying, isn't it? >> it's certainly not a good development. as you can see from the identity card, it's 100% correct. if you were to arrive in europe, how do you prove you are syrian? you show them your documents and passport and your identity card, possibly your driving license. this will provide you with perfect explanation of who you are, where you come from and why you need sanctuary. sadly, as you can see again from the driving license, i'm not a syrian national. >> no. but they're real documents because they were stolen from the government offices. nick, thanks for joining us from london and telling us this horrifying story. >> it's a pleasure. >> thank you, sir. meanwhile, do you see what's

we have the exclusive report. and carly fiorina issued a challenge during this week's republican debate. >> if you want to stump a democrat, ask them to name an accomplishment of mrs. clinton. >> and here with hillary's calls for accomp a long resume, that's what i've heard. >> meanwhile a kid in hand cuffs for bringing his science project to school. the handcuffs right there. there's the science project. he says it was only a clock but he was arrested. and some say it's because he was a muslim. well, now, president obama is putting himself into the debate. but could that backfire? >> it already has. got a busy hour straight ahead. live from new york city, it's 7:00, in new york city, and this is "fox & friends." see you at home right now

welcome to "fox & friends." we have a huge show right now. >> we do. >> reports that we have debt tails on regarding isis fighters. more easily than ever using syrian passports to get right here. >> that's the big worry as all these refugees go to germany and we've heard the united states are going to take a bunch of them, if they have a syrian passport and say hey, i'm a syrian refugee, we let them right in. unfortunately, these are actually isis fighters. we know because a reporter bought one of these fake passports, which actually is real, because as isis rolls into different towns, you know, we've heard they rob the banks, they also take everything out of the government offices, including the documents, blank passports, and the printing machines. >> we're going to bring you that report in just a bit. heather nauert joins us with a story about isis, as well. home grown terrorists. >> there is a new case of home grown terrorism. a 22-year-old new york man is accused of what the feds describe as relentless attempts to try to join that terror network. he even ranted on twitter that

he was ready to die for that cause. investigators say that ali saleh tried to travel to syria several times but was turned away. we understand at the airport. he's accused of using social media to talk to his isis contacts. more on that as we get it. the one-time roommate of the charleston church shooter dylann roof waking up behind bars this morning. 21-year-old joey meek is now under arrest. he has been on the fbi's radar since june for allegedly knowing about the shooting ahead of time. but not reporting it. he also spoke to the media about roof's drunken vow to carry out this crime. listen here. >> he was drunk one night and he was just talking about him wanting to hurt a bunch of people. like i said, i didn't know whether to took him serious. >> it's unclear what charges he'll face. in the mean time roof faces nine counts of murder. this week he said he's willing to plead guilty to avoid the death penalty. frightening moments in milwaukee as the brewers pitcher jimmy nelson is hit in the side of the head with a line drive. >> oh.

>> gosh that's hard to watch there. a real hush came over the crowd. nelson immediately falls to the ground motionless for a few moments. he eventually managed to walk off the field on his own. the team saying that nelson was only bruised but he spent the night in the hospital for observation. hopefully he will be okay. that is so dangerous. a former minnesota firefighter is being honored with the first-ever red bandanna award named for a man who saved about a dozen people on 9/11. jake lapierre is his name. he was badly burned in a house explosion back in 2010 while he was recovering he met several children who were being treated for burns and was inspired to develop the group called firefighters for healing. it supports young burn victims, and their families. lapierre will be presented with the award tonight at florida state boston college game. congratulations to him.

>> those are your headlines. >> you know what, heather, tonight our family will be at the fsu-boston college game. >> oh, really? >> i think the first 2,000 people into the game will get red bandannas. our dear friend and classmate who saved no less than 12 people coming out of the twin towers on 9/11, known for his red bandanna. and the entire stadium yearly celebrates him and all that he was and his kindness and efforts. his parents will be on field presenting that award to the fireman that you mentioned. and it will be an incredible moment. and we're so honored to be able to share that moment. >> and send in some pictures. >> we sure will. >> leave early. i don't want you hitting the traffic. >> i never leave early. i'm here to the end. >> okay. >> go eagles. >> let's talk a little bit about politics, carly fiorina a couple nights ago over on cnn had a really good night. you know, she's probably going to rise in the next polls. but what's -- and one of the reasons is a lot of the things she said have become sound bites

that people played yesterday and today once again, and today, we're going to play one sound bite it was really kind of a challenge for hillary clinton, listen to what carly fiorina asked on wednesday night. >> she does not have a track record of accomplishment. like mrs. clinton i too have traveled hundreds of thousands of miles around the globe. unlike mrs. clinton i know that flying is an activity. it is not an accomplishment. mrs. clinton, if you want to stump a democrat, ask them to name an accomplishment of mrs. clinton. >> so the question is, will she ask that question to hillary clinton? >> and he did ask that question and she answered with a book plug. >> if anybody is interested, you know, there's a long list about what i have done, and i'm very proud of it. you can read my book, hard choices, read about how i negotiated a cease-fire between israel and hamas. you can read about how i put to the the coalition that led to

international sanctions against iran. you can read about what i did when i was first lady to get the children's health insurance program, or a senator working across the aisle on issues like getting better health care for our veterans. you know this is just a silly season. i am looking forward to eventually debating on that stage whoever they finally nominate, once they get around to doing that. >> so, there's a book plug in there. there's a list. and then there's the payoff word is silly season. if you're a candidate and you don't want to answer a question you say, this is the silly season. because she did not answer the question, really. the one main accomplishment? i'm still puzzled. >> she says that she helped out the veterans. one thing her staffers said she did is make sure the military paychecks arrived on time and care packages reached their destinations. >> i was looking online -- >> she has to make sure the paychecks -- >> i was looking online. one of the people suggested one

of her notable accomplishments was, well, regarding u.s. code section 1924, outlawed the unauthorized removal and storage of classified information, penalties can include fines and imprisonment for up to one year. >> right. >> that's an accomplishment. kind of a bad one. >> why don't you e-mail us. what do you think hillary clinton's greatest accomplishment is? friends@foxnews.com. you can tweet us and facebook us as well. >> some of those might be blank. i'm just saying. look at this though ed henry covers hillary clinton. he tweeted out this picture of an empty town hall in new hampshire. right in new hampshire there. and empty seats. so take a look at that. not many people waiting around for her to not answer questions. >> here's the thing, she has been trailing bernie sanders in the last three polls. of course vermont is close, that has something to do with it. still clinton has been the most famous female politician in the country for 30 years and she

can't fill up that town hall. you want a chance to meet somebody, you have a chance to. and they chose not to show up. that's got to be scary. >> that is scary. >> great news for joe biden. >> talk about -- >> there's some room. >> -- scary when it comes to hillary clinton and all of that. this is going to terrify you literally. a passport to terrorists is what it's being called. mail online reporter actually went over, bought a passport, a syrian passport there, an identity card and he said he did it with ease and isis is ftryin to do the same thing to enter the united states. steve you spoke with him earlier. >> nick page is his name and he went to i think he said turkey to buy it. he had heard that you know you got all these refugees streaming in to europe, by the hundreds of thousands. and united states is going to take a bunch, as well. if they show up here in the united states, and they've got hey here's my syrian passport, you would think they were syrians, right? the problem is, according to nick page, he was told by the

forger who he paid $2,000 for those documents, he said members of isis are buying lots of these. so, the worry is, they will wind up coming in to his country, and our country, as sleeper cells. it's a real threat, and the thing is you can't really tell whether or not they're real, because the documents are real. listen to this. >> this is a genuine syrian passport book. as you can see inside it has my photograph, i've never been to syria. i can't speak arabic. this -- what has happened is, when the regime collapsed, the institution's of the regime were taken over by the opposition forces, including isis. they would raid the buildings, take all the documents which they knew were valuable, and give them to forgers. the forger was asked to create new documents for the isis fighters and was given others, fair documents.

>> this is terrible news. on top of that yesterday this week has been the highlight of the ultimate waste of money. we have spent $40 million and we'll be spending $400 million training fighters to take on isis. we have four left. four fighters left according to general austin. we've totally wasted our money. it's impossible to accomplish. you're asking people not to fight assad who they hate to fight isis who they barely know. they hate less. the whole effort is a waste and our money is going -- >> it's such a complex situation, right? you see the refugees' photos and you see these babies and your heart absolutely breaks. but yet you know there are evil ones in the midst of that, willing to take advantage to bring harm. >> right. >> and it's not an easy discussion to have on either end of that. this right here breaks my heart every single time i see it i pray for the safety of those babies and children and their families. and yet, those evil people who are trying to obtain these

passports, come to bring harm and death to america, it's just -- >> we cannot absorb this in to western europe, or these other countries have to worry about their own citizens first. >> we've heard from isis first. they said they were going to try to send -- 500,000 sleeper cells into the united states and other countries. and now we know how they can do it thanks to this exclusive report in dailymail.com. >> they all battled it out on the stage you saw it. who would make a better president, a senator, a governor or on outsider? we're going to debate it. >> you may have seen these women at the casino before. the question today, can they be fired if they get too fat? hmm.

evan bayh former united states senator and governor of indiana and fox news contributor brad blakeman former deputy assistant to president george w. bush. thank you for joining us on "fox & friends." >> good morning. >> good morning. >> let's look at the field here. evan what's your take in terms of past experience what makes one better suited to really be the ceo leader of the united states? a senator, a governor? >> well, there's no one right path. you learn different things from different experiences. but, elisabeth, i had to pick one i'd pick being governor. you're the ceo of a large enterprise. tens of thousands of employees. multimillion dollar budget. you've got to work with your legislature to try and get things passed. you have to communicate to the public what you're doing. and most importantly of all you actually have to get things done. you don't just give speeches like you do on the floor of the senate or just cast votes. you actually have to put things into effect and make them work and i think that's what people are looking for these days. in the senate you get more foreign policy experience. as a ceo you get a lot of

discipline of the marketplace. those are good things. but if you're looking for the whole package i think it's more likely to be a governor. >> american people success rate ran a poll here and they agreed with you, 40% said governors would make a better commander in chief right here. 23% said senators, and 23% said private sector contenders. so those bottom two neck and neck there. brad, what's your position here? who is better suited to lead the nation? >> i have to agree with senator bayh. i happen to believe that a governor has all the accoutrements that a president would have to have from day one. he has to deal with a legislature. he has to deal with a judiciary. guess what? he has to have a budget. and he even has a military, national guard, but he also has an infrastructure very akin to what the president will have to deal with on the national level and in addition, many of our states have larger budgets and larger organizations than many independent sovereign states of our allies. so, if you're looking for the type of leadership that a president would have to deal with, then governors tend to be the best choice.

>> so let's throw in the curve ball here of the entrepreneur, or ceo, or apolitical candidate. because those are the individuals right now who tend to be leading in the polls. we've got dr. ben carson. you've got donald trump. you've got carly fiorina. all really taking steam away from the other candidates, as it seems, and as we stand right now. so what's behind that? evan? >> well, the american public is mad. and they're fed up with business as usual in washington. nothing is getting done. the political class is in disrepute. so i think all those candidates of let's send them a message. let's throw the bums out. and you know, that's understandable under the circumstances. but i think ultimately, when we get down to actually voting, people are going to say, okay, you don't want to just vent my anger. i want to know who can actually get the job done. so i think the best combination, and that's another thing the governor brings to the table, they're not part of the quote/unquote mess in washington. so they can bring a little bit of that outsider perspective to the table, too. that at the end of the day is

what people will look for. not protesting but asking who can clean up this mess and get the job done. >> before we go, brad, do you agree? >> i do agree. and i think while 2015 may be the year of the outsider i think 2016 would be the year of the insider quote unquote, somebody with experience because if you're a ceo like donald trump or carly fiorina it's much different, and you don't have the luxury of time to learn on the job. it's so much different from running a corporation. and you have to surround yourself with people who also have been there, and it's not a time for learning a job. it's time for executing on that job. and legislators, or governors, tend to be the best for that position. >> okay, gentlemen, we thank you both for your time and expertise. >> thank you. >> well, it's a disease that can kill one in 50 people. and you may not know that you even have it. it happened to this reporter and her husband is here with a warning that you need to hear right now. then, does this shirt look offensive to you? take a close look. the american flag, and the

time now for news by the numbers on this friday. first $100 million. that's how much china will kick in to build a high speed bullet train between las vegas and los angeles. china. construction could begin in september of next year. their money. next, 1.57 million dollars. that's how much england's queen elizabeth paid for a new condo in chicago. the building is called the buckingham. her majesty, who is the constitutional queen of canada,

won't live there. instead, it will be used as a canadian consul. and one minute, that's how long it took the broncos to score two touchdowns after coming from behind to beat my kansas city chiefs 31-24. the offense getting one and the defense following, too, with another one as well. sorry kansas city. >> well it's a disease that affects nearly one in 50 americans. most of whom have absolutely no idea that their life could end at any moment. we're talking about brain aneurysms. like the one that took the life of wabc reporter lisa cal grossy. she was on the job, and now her family is raising awareness for his condition. joining us now is her husband todd. thank you for being with us now. >> appreciate it. >> you want more people to know about this. talk about lisa. >> lisa was amazing. wife, mother, very popular. very talented news journalist.

>> she was great. great reporter. we loved her in new york. >> and adored by everybody. and the outpouring of support from around the country and the world since she passed has been tremendous. >> we'd see her on tv. she looked great. you know, she didn't get enough sleep as a lot of people. you say in the months leading up to her sudden death, she had one complaint. >> nobody knows about this. she would walk through the door for about five weeks, maybe a couple times a week and complain, say i have the worst headache of my life. and this was one of the classic signs and symptoms of somebody who has a brain aneurysm -- >> you know that now. >> we just didn't know it. because there's no awareness for this disease. no awareness for the signs and symptoms across the country. that is one of the classic signs. and it's documented on every emergency room chart by every doctor is not a headache that is your usual headache. it's out of the norm. it is the worst headache of your life. w.h.o., your head is killing

you. poor vision is another sign. tingling sensation in the face. and a sharp pain behind the eye. those are the four big classic signs. >> in retrospect how long was she complaining about them? >> about five weeks. >> and did she ever go to the doctor? >> no. about three weeks in i said don't you think we should go get that checked and she said no i think it's just lack of sleep, it's stress, i don't have time. >> there are people watching right now who probably say to themselves you know, i've been having really bad headaches. what should they do? >> you can't dismiss it. one of out of every 50 of your viewers will develop a brain aneurysm. the numbers are greatly underreported. they say 6 million. i bet it's double that. the only way you find out if you have one is if you die or you go in for another procedure that requires a c.a.t. scan or mri and the results come back, oh, by the way you have a brain aneurysm. they should not dismiss it. they should go to the emergency room, go to their doctor and get checked and insist on an mra or a c.a.t. scan. >> we want to help. how can we do that? >> we've done two things. we've established the lisa

colagrossi foundation which can be found at lisaslegacy7.org. and we've launched the lucky seven challenge, and what we would like to do is -- first-ever nationwide fund-raising effort for brain aneurysms and we challenge all of your viewers, like to challenge and nominate the three of you to logon to hisslegacy7.org. it's a simple concept. donate the amount with the number seven in it and nominate seven others on social media, facebook, twitter, youtube, to do the same thing. and so, it's that simple. our goal is $7 million over the next seven months. which will make critical difference. that's what this disease needs is critical funding, make a difference to save lives of others in this country. >> lisa's incredible and

experience, as a mom and wife what do you want everyone to know about her? >> amazing, how vivacious, how full of life, how caring, how down to earth she was. and she was just incredible. and she would be doing the work that i'm doing now had she survived. she would want everybody to donate. and just to kick things off, great clips, and dunkin' donuts within the last 72 hours have both made generation donations to kick-start the campaign. >> how have you been? >> we're okay. it's a tough process. it's a big adjustment. the boys are obviously devastated. and we're in the process of trying to pull our, you know, put the pieces back to the and figure out what our new normal is going forward. >> we're taking your challenge. we're going to take you up on your lucky -- and once again the website is lisaslegacy7.org. it's right down there. donate an amount with the 7 in it. >> we'll put it on our website. >> thank you very much.

who's gone online before and had some words with the president. this didn't sit well with him either. watch. >> mr. president, when -- >> gunned down you didn't call his family, you didn't invite him to the white house. is that okay? i don't think so, mr. president. and mr. president when cops are being gunned down, we don't invite them to the white house. we never did. but when a muslim kid builds a clock, come on by. what is this world? >> on that mohamed says that he was arrested because he was muslim. and, you know, that's why suddenly there's the outrage the president is inviting him to the white house. also apparently google has reserved a spot for him at their science fair. m.i.t. has asked him to visit their campus. and a moment ago, a guy who runs facebook, mark zuckerberg has invited him to drop by facebook to visit. maybe as an intern.

>> as regards planned parenthood, anyone who has watched this videotape, i dare hillary clinton, barack obama, to watch these tapes. >> okay. so did she watch the tapes? that question was asked of her by wolf blitzer last night. >> -- know that there's a move on by some of the republicans in the congress to actually shut down the united states government over their demand that we no longer give federal funding to planned parenthood to perform the really necessary health services that they do for millions of women. so let's put aside for a moment here that there is no debate, and there should be absolutely no argument, that planned parenthood does cancer screenings, it helps provide family planning and contraceptive advice, it works to provide, you know, some of the most difficult kinds of counseling when it comes to giving an hiv test for example. what this is about is the fact

that some of the planned parenthood facilities perform abortions, which is legal, under the laws of the united states. >> the only thing that she put aside was a straightforward answer. did you watch the video? >> two things if i may, elisabeth. there are two aspects to this. first is carly fiorina. secondly is secretary clinton. in terms of what carly fiorina said i thought it was the most powerful, gut-wrenching, sinc e sincere, plea against partial-birth abortions, condemning a hideous practice. a practice that is so insensitive as to border if not on illegality then certain immorality. and i am a pro-choice person. i thought that carly fiorina's declaration there was the most powerful defense of a -- of the right to life and the anti-abortion position i have ever heard in 50 years of covering this issue. so now, she has put that on the

table. now, she has challenged secretary clinton. so how does secretary clinton handle it? does she go to the issue that carly fiorina raises? no she goes to the politics of it. because now, and there's two aspects to that. number one is the, what services planned parenthood performs and what they actually get compensated for. i think that that is a good and technical argument. the second one, though, is far more harmful, i think, to carly fiorina and the republicans. it is the threat to shut down the government. i think that we must move beyond the petty tactic of shutting down the government, regardless of what the issue is. here you have the noble crusade to stop partial birth abortions, to stop the hideous practice -- >> body part sale. >> of body part sales. and the essence of what was exposed in those videos, the insensitivity to this process.

although we are in favor of stem cell research and all the rest of it, it has to be done in a dignified and controlled manner. >> why didn't hillary clinton just say exactly what you said? >> well, i watched it elisabeth, that's exactly my point. by trying -- by evading wolf's question, by going immediately into political mode, it is the reason she is struggling now in the polls. her inability to grasp what every average person sees. >> let me also add in carly fiorina is a woman. she would have loved to have said look it's typical of these men over on the right trying to tell women what to do with their bodies except the person who called her out was a woman. i want to move on to something else many people find controversial. donald trump goes to new hampshire, sells out the place, says i'm not going to do a speech. i'm going to just take questions. here's the first question. >> -- from white plains, amen, okay. we have a problem in this

country it's called muslims. we know our current president is one. you know he's not even an american. >> we need this question? this first question? >> but anyway, we have training camps rolling where they want to kill us. that's my question. when can we get rid of them? >> we're going to be looking at a lot of different things. >> okay, so that's somebody, you know, presumably it's a real person and not a plant asking this question. a loaded question. >> sounds like a plant to me. >> do you remember when the tea party started? in the tea party in the 99% of the sincere, righteous, hard-working people that went, were attracted to that movement, they were the fringes, the militiamen, the defense of america -- >> patriots. >> the patriots and all the rest of it. and i think the trump is attracting that same crowd. vast majority of them hard-working, whether working-class or educated, they are people filled with sincerity and patriotism. but there are some fringe elements among trump supporters that cannot be denied.

now, here he had a situation remembering that trump was the prime architect of the birther movement, at least actually it started with hillary. hillary's campaign started -- >> we can have that -- we can have that. >> that is true. >> trump was a prominent proponent of the birther theory. therefore, it is incumbent on our friend donald trump when confronted with someone who is obviously a fringe person to bust their chops there and say listen, we're not going there. this is what the issue is about. now, if you wanted to segue in to an issue of whether bringing refugees in from war-torn areas is safe or unsafe or something in that regard, he could have easily handled it. i've seen trump handle -- >> but is it lack of experience to being out there? after all he wants people to ask questions. he's got a big thing of saying, everything is on the table. >> he answered the training camp part. >> i guarantee you, it will never happen again. now, how has he done so far?

i did a survey on my wabc radio program that exactly reacts drudge's survey on who won the debate. there is no doubt almost everybody was in single digits, many were at zero in terms of my listeners and drudge's respondents, the clear second place winner at 25%, so everybody else got 25%, 25% went to carly fiorina. she was clearly the number two. at over 50% on the drudge survey, and my own, it was trump as the winner of the debate. >> the whole point of radio shows i have donald trump at 10:06. >> amazing i have him at 10:10. >> it is duelling trumps. >> he's going to be exhausted. >> here's what we have right now though. we have a situation that's extreme and it's chilling. steve spoke with a reporter today that -- >> long line. >> actually explained that right now this horrific and heartbreaking syrian refugee situation. i can barely look at the kids just trying to get to safety

with their families. but isis is now taking advantage of that situation and obtaining syrian passports so that they can come here and kill americans. what are your thoughts on that? >> legitimate passports. >> two quick observations. number one you have some air force personnel coming to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the united states air force. i was with many of them in forward operating base falcon in iraq. we know how war can disrupt civilian life. one of the places we almost got killed in another war assignment was in mogadishu, somalia. somalia was chaotic. somalia was a place where the citizens who are being subjected to terrible peril, we opened up our borders to many somali refugees. over 30,000 of them, most of them settled in the minneapolis-st. paul area, which they call little mogadishu. in that population, at least 40 have been caught or have successfully escaped to join al

shabab fighting in africa or al qaeda fighting in the mideast. the danger of the syrian refugees is exactly the same as the experience we've alreadywit. there will be guaranteed among them -- >> bad guys. >> -- particularly with this development. >> think about what the germans are doing? they're taking 500,000. >> you know, germany owes the world a lot from what germany did previously. i like that they're stepping up to the plate. we have to be extremely careful in vetting, particularly, the young men. >> all right. thank you very much geraldo for joining us. go talk to donald trump. >> all right. >> but me first. >> okay. >> meanwhile straight ahead -- >> a new surprise in the bowe bergdahl case. he planned to abandon his fellow soldiers for weeks. the man who put his own life on the line trying to save the so-called deserter reacts next. >> and do you see anything wrong with this uniform? meet the criminals behind it. take a close look, and the mug shots are hard to forget.

brian, let's head over to you. >> all right. i'm going to use my real name unless i'm graffiti. meanwhile, this is unbelievable. fighting moments, the fear of everybody haet ever been on the mound, milwaukee, pitcher, jimmy nelson, hit in the side of the head with a line drive. watch. hush came over the crowd. nelson immediately fell to the ground. he eventually managed to walk off on his own. tweeted overnight quote i'm feeling very good. very lucky. blessed and thankful. a lot of people say a helmet. last minute win the broncos win another one thanks to their defense. a wild victory over the chiefs after two scores in the fourth quarter. peyton manning got a touchdown drive to tie the game with 36 seconds left. peyton manning's 51 years old. the defense followed with a scoop and score fumble the broncos go on to win, they've

care unit where she worked. this is what she said. >> he asked me if i could change his treatments and i'd say no, joe, i can't do that. i'm just a nurse. but one night everything changed. i found him in his room crying and i said joe, i know that this is really hard. but you are not just alzheimer's. you are still joe. and he looked right back at me almost to look through me and said nurse kelley, the nurse thing goes for you. although you say it all the time. you are not just a nurse. you are my nurse and you have changed my life because you've cared about me. and joe reminded me that day that time a life saver. i'm never going to be just a nurse. thank you. >> how great was that? >> incredible. >> and then, flash forward to the next day on "the view." listen to these guys. >> talent though i have to say, one sang opera she was incredible, really good. then there was a girl who wrote her own monologue which i was like turn the volume up, this is going to be amazing, let's

listen. and she came out in her nurse's uniform and basically read her e-mails out loud and shockingly did not win. >> why does she have a doctor's stethoscope around her neck? >> she helps patients with alzheimer's which i know is not funny but i swear you had to see it. >> i swear you had to see it. >> you know, i've seen it and i keep looking at it, and that's a place where you can say a lot of things and get in a bunch of trouble but this is something that was thought about and planned. they ran the clip. it happened over the weekend. and here you have a nurse who is reading an e-mail, and a message from one of her patients with alzheimer's. my grandfather died of alzheimer's. i can't thank the nurses enough. though he couldn't remember their names they continued to be patient and kind with him. a nurse i said it earlier today, nurses walked me down the halls after my surgery last year getting me back to health. hour after hour when my baby two weeks old almost died of salmonella a nurse prayed over him in the hospital and told me he was going to make it. the only thing they should be saying is thank you to the nurses out there. not mocking someone they didn't

think was smart enough according to elitist jokes and funnyness at that table. >> you think on some level that they're happy that this controversy has happened? even though sponsors are leaving? >> no, because the two big sponsors, johnson & johnson and eggland's best, because the nurses who were watching go, hey, we're not going to stand for that. and so a hashtag campaign started. they're losing millions of dollars now. we asked you what you thought about these awful comments, and being on facebook said. >> the women on the view had no idea what a nurse's job is. i would love to see any of them try to do that job. >> the comments on nurses is disgusting. i'm proud of eggland's decision to pull its advertising. but guess what? people are going to tune in to "the view." people who haven't watched it in years so now all of a sudden people are going to be talking about it again. >> they're trying to bring interest back. >> -- the apologies -- >> meanwhile, 19 minutes left in

the show. immigration, hot topic to say the least during this week's gop debate. >> what we need to do is to secure our borders. and we need to do it with more than just a wall. >> to build a wall, and to deport people, half a million a month, would cost hundreds of billions of dollars. >> john stossel says there's another way to fix this issue. he's going to tell us what it is next. at least he promised to. come on in.

republican candidates clashed this week over the best way to seal our border. watch. >> i want to build a wall. a wall that works. what we need to do is to secure our border. and we need to do it with more than just a wall. >> to build a wall, and to deport people, half a million a month, would cost hundreds of billions of dollars. >> well i've been leading the fight in the senate to triple the border patrols. to put in place fencings and walls. >> we must secure our border. the physical border, with a wall, absolutely. >> but our next guest says that

the answer to ending illegal immigration may lie in the area that none of the candidates have ever considered. john stossel, what's your idea? >> to end this destructive drug war, because when we destroy entire parts of latin america, we drive people north, and there's so much money in illegal drugs, that pays for those tunnels that these smugglers built. >> you're saying the tunnels going under the wall. >> under the wall. secure the wall is as stupid as democrats saying buy an electric car, subsidize that you'll stop global warming. but the wall is just a tiny part of our border. and half the illegals come fly in and overstay a tourist visa or a student visa. >> you also say the wall is pricey. it's going to cost a lot of money and also frying to deport the numbers that even tonld trump has suggested would cost the united states a ton of money. >> it's just an surt. i guess it scores well in their testing. but it makes no sense. it's not going to work. and it would cost a fortune. >> focus on the drug.

>> oh, alcohol prohibition created lots of crime. drug prohibition brings illegals to america. >> all right. going to be talking more about this today. fox business network 8:00 p.m. john, thanks for being here. >> thanks. >> more than just man's best friend. these canine companions are helping some of our nation's heroes every single day. we're celebrating national service dog month on the plaza coming your way next. when your windshield needs fixed... trust safelite. our exclusive trueseal technology means a strong reliable bond. at safelite we stand behind our work... ...because the ones you love, sit behind it.

i can interact with my family again. >> joe, what about you? >> well, i did three tours in iraq. and i found it very difficult to reintegrate in to society without my soldiers with me, without, you know, the companionship that we share. my team. absolutely. and you know i really had some times of being really low. when i went down to k-9s for warriors i was also having the same issues that the sergeant major was having and when i got lily she just became my buddy, my partner. it's just like having my soldiers with me again. i can stand up on my own feet. life is not the same as it was. but, it's a better life now. >> that's great. >> how can we help? folks watching right now. >> first thing you can go to k-9 for warriors.org. there's 22 veteran suicides every single day in america. and organizations like ours are there to stop that horrible travesty across the country. >> stick around because guess
