♪ kick up the gravel ♪ don't be afraid ♪ take the road less traveled. rob: there are definitely roads less traveled than sixth in. i'm rob smith. heather: good morning to you. let's make it official. it's friday. we appreciate it. get to the top story. patriotism still taking center stage happened during thursday night football. rob: packers and the bears on their feet linking arms during the national anthem both teams both teams standing tall. who really stole the show during the national anthem. heather: jawbz joining us live. >> prime time matchup between the green pay packers and chicago bears. not one player took a knee. both teams on their feet linking arms on the sidelines displaying what they call unity. but there was not much

linking of arms by the fans in the stands at lambeau field. look at this. instead. the theme was division. some making it very clear they were not on board with players taking a knee sweeping across the nfl. protests on your own time and not our dime just one of those messages plastered on a sign there in the crowd. chant of u.s.a. also barreling through the stadium. ♪ chanting u.s.a.] tennessee titans tight end laney walker doesn't care how his fans feel about this. telling anyone upset about him taking a knee they can stay home. meantime the denver bronchos and pittsburgh steelers are planning to stand at next game which will be on sunday. as for the nfl it's now plotting a path forward days after sparking nationwide outrage. we learned commissioner roger goodell meeting with players and owners about the anthem. the packers beat the bear bear

is. oldest o'reillyry. heather: people are forgetting these are football games. what's the score? how are they playing? rob: tickets to couple of green bay cops as well. packers home game? i think it was last night's game. definitely a cool part of the story. heather: we will get you talking and this morning rush limbaugh says when it comes to the anthem protest nfl owners are out of their league. >> the owners and the commissioner, i don't know what their individual politics are, i don't think they understand what's happening to them. yoonk they understand what's going on. they think they are relating to the joort of their fan base. they are not. they are driving them away. i hate it i don't want the nfl to get smaller. i don't want them to become insignificant. i don't want it to be taking over by a bunch o with wit bust. use something besides the nfl sideline. use something besides the

flag. use something that people use to escape everything left is trying to force on us. rob: amen. i'm so tired of talking about politics and if i go to an nfl game and see it will be such a turn off. we have a poll the head line of it, the poll is the world going to hell in a hand basket or not? and here are some of the numbers as they have come in. heather: democrats say 70% they say yes. but back in october, of 2014, only 48 percent said yes. and then republican 42% think that it is. but, back in 2014, 71%, so the complete opposite. rob: i think that's very standard issue for when you have a particular party in power and another party out of power. but this could be a reason why. that's a very bold statement, the world is going to hell in a hand basket. this could be why. america it seems are more divided than ever on things

just like the national anthem and here is mike huckabee talking more about that. >> there are issues in this country that ought to be addressed. and there have been real problems in this country of division and racism is real, let's not kid ourselves. i think we have come a long way since i was a little kid growing up in the south. martin luther king jr. used nonviolence and he used his christian faith to shame people into realizing he was right. 40, 50 years after the civil rights 50's or 60's does anybody celebrate bull conner? are there any streets named after him? absolutely not. every city in the america and the south has a street named after martin luther king. he steed the power of getting his message across. heather: that's one of the issues that we talked about already. the original message from collin kaepernick has been taken over by this political agenda machine.

and so that's getting lost in all of this. rob: i totally agree. all right. let's move on from that and let's go over to some more politics on a friday morning. a big win for president trump this morning as the u.s. economy shows some serious signs of a surge. heather: this as he continues to promote his new tax reform plan designed to provide an even bigger boost to the middle crass. that's what he says. griff jenkins is live for us in washington, d.c. with are no. good morning. >> good morning, heather and rob. big speech this morning. the president will tout his tax plan to the association of manufacturers. we expect the president to paint a big picture to unifying the nation and the power of made in america. this as newly released g.d.p. numbers for the second quarter offer some encouragement for a growing economy. the president tweeting, quote: the g.d.p. was revised upward 3.1 for last quarter. many people thought it would be years before that happened. we have just begun. meanwhile vice president

pence was on the road in the heart of manufacturing, michigan. saying that confidence in making things here at home is back. >> today american manufacturers are more optimistic than any point in the last 20 years. the truth is, confidence is back. manufacturing is back. and under president donald trump, america is back. [cheers and applause] >> and we're just getting started. >> continued to roll out the tax plan with chief white house advisor gary cohn dropping by the briefing room to say this. >> our tax plan is aimed at making sure we give middle class americans a tax cut. we are going to give middle class americans a tax cut. that is what we are spending all of our time on doing. and we have got lots of tools at our disposal to make sure we do that and that's what we're going to do. >> experts say it's too early to tell exactly how harvey, irma and maria may

impact the g.d.p. it will add storm related distortions. it's anybody's guess whether weather they will get that tax plan passed through the house and the senate. rob: a lot of negotiation on that one. thank you. heather: there is new evidence this morning that the leader of isis may in fact stillable alive despite claims by the russians that he was in fact dead. a terrorist run news outlet releasing audio of al baghdady. can't pentagon never able to confirm his death. >> white house opening an internal investigation by the use of private emails by administration staff. jared kushner is at the center of the probe along with his wife ivanka trump. his lawyer says his emails were very limited and not classified and forwarded to other accounts to be preserved. other former and current

officials reportedly being investigated are steve bannon, reince priebus, gary cohn and steven miller. heather: meantime health and human services coming clean and paying up for using taxpayer funded private jets for government and personal use. he plans to pay back he says $52,000 of his share of the 400 total travel bill accumulated just since may. he will now fly commercial. >> clearly, we're sensitive to the taxpayer on these instances, which is why i have taken the actions that i have taken today. heather: president trump says he is not happy with price. this as treasury secretary steve mnuchin and environmental protection agency scott prosecute are also reportedly being looked at for their private plane use. rob: panic a mess in puerto

rico as they still it don't have access to food power and water. many looking for a way off of that island. thousands of people packing at dock in san juan hoping to hitch a ride on board a royal caribbean cruise ship to the united states. florida now bracing for thousands of evacuees from the island of puerto rico. acting secretary of homeland security elaine duke headed to puerto rico today to get a first-hand look at the devastation in that u.s. territory. heather: a climber is lucky to be alive after surviving not one but two incidents at this dangerous rock fall atio sim at this national park. capturing the exact moment that massive bolder fell wednesday at famous summit directly beneath him. one climber was killed and then one day later another slide in the same exact area just feet from where he was climbing. officials estimate that the second rock slide was 10 times bigger than the first. he was very lucky.

rob: yeah, he is lucky. hugs, cheers, and tears flooding the house floor as house majority whip steve scalise returns to capitol hill after three months of recovering from gunshot wounds. [cheers and applause] there is he walking. in steve thanked his doctors and first responders calling them heroes. scalise said the attack made a profound impact on his life. >> it's only strengthened my faith in god and it's really crystallized what shows up as the goodness in people. i got to see that goodness in people. rob: scalise and four others were hurt after a gunman opened fire at congressional baseball practice back in june. that gunman was shot and killed. heather: it was an amazing moment. he said he immediately began to pray and is he an example of miracles. rob: that was not an easy

recovery, either. he could have lost his life days after that wanted ha. heather: the time now is 10 minutes after the hour. we introduce you to the officer who was all fired up about nfl anthem protesters yesterday. listen. >> people die for that flag. it ain't a game. that's real life. that's real sacrifice. heather: today that officer joins us live and you better believe there is plenty more where that came from. rob: also, hire american or else. the trump administration is fighting to keep jobs out of the hands of foreign workers. >> heather: plus, he was the 43rd president but is he number one grandpa. george w. bush like you have never seen him ahead. ♪ thank you, baby. ♪ oh, yeah, to be loved by you ♪ how sweet it is ♪ to be loved by you ♪

and always working to be better. when i was too busy with the kids to get a repair estimate. i just snapped a photo and got an estimate in 24 hours. my insurance company definitely doesn't have that... you can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™ liberty mutual insurance. fred would do anything for "get in, fred!" even if it means being the back half of a unicorn.

fear not fred, the front half washed his shirt with gain. and that smell, puts the giddy in "giddy-up"! ah...the irresistible scent of gain flings! laundry detergent. you can't help but smell happy.

>> listen, you play a game. this is fairy tale world,

you suit up, you lose, you go home. real heroes, when they lose games, they don't come back. the people die for that flag. it ain't a game. that's real life. that's real sacrifice. rob: well said. and standing up to those who are taking a knee right now, a fed up police officer going viral for putting what he calls pampered nfl millionaires in their places. and this morning arizona police officer brandon tatum joins us live officer, thank you so much for coming on this morning. i appreciate your time. i know it's very early in arizona. >> yes, it is. thank you for having me. rob: of course. i don't know if you got to stay up to watch it last night but thursday night football nobody took a knee. what did you think of that? >> i've decided that i'm not going to participate in watching football anymore. as long as they continue to disrespect the flag. but it's good to hear that they're not doing it anymore. and i hope that continues. rob: you were an athlete yourself. not watching football is probably not the easiest

thing to do. >> right, i mean, it's a will that. i'm not going to lie. i love football. it's been an american sport. i play football. i have had dreams of playing in the nfl. not watching it is a decision i was going to make. but, hey, i think if they do the right thing, i think i will continue to watch it. rob: absolutely. let's talk about the issue here for a moment. i don't want to be pragmatic about this. there are issues like anything else, nothing is perfect, no organization is perfect there are somewhere around 1 million law enforcement officers in this country and nobody denies any group that large is going to be a few bad apples but when somebody like collin kaepernick goes to practice and wears socks that depicts police officers as pigs to lay that out and send a message as if the entire organization of law enforcement officers are violent, have an issue, how does that make you feel as a police officer, you know, that does the job right? >> well, it's absolutely

disrespectful. there is no reason to do that. there is no method to miss madness. it's flat out disrespect. what it's doing is causing police officers to be in danger. people are challenging us more. feeding off of a person who they believe is a role model. i think it's inappropriate. there is no place for that in any aspect of protest. rob: totally stereotypical, too. if you take a handful of bad eggs and generalize the entire population of police officers are this way, talk about a dangerous thing to do, you know, in a country that needs police officers. we live in new york. i cannot imagine what the neighborhoods of crown heights, brooklyn, you know, other neighborhoods brownsville what those neighborhoods would look like if you took police officers out thereof for even two days. >> right, right. it's total hypocrisy. it's total hypocrisy. these individuals, a person like collin kaepernick wants to be treated as a fair

individual. he don't want to be prejudged. doesn't want people to look at him and stereotype him. he should give the same respect to law enforcement is that we're individual people. we are people like anyone else. we go out and do a job and work hard. i will tell you what, we are just as disgusted as anybody else regarding those bad apples. rob: stereotyping, yo like i said 99% of you guys are doing a helhell of a job. heather: national anthem protests sweeping the nfl are now taking swernt stage in louisiana. a school district advising principals to follow president trump's lead to put a stop to kneeling during the anthem. carley shimkus is here now with how one high school is putting its foot down. >> good morning heather and rob. the school district? louisiana is taking a bold stance on this whole issue.

the principal of parkway hospital way len base says he will kick kids off of sports teams if they don't stand while the theme is played. failure to the american civil liberties union claiming enforcing these rules on athletes is a violation of their first amendment rights. so we wanted to ask you, should high schools punish players who protest the anthem? send us your comments on facebook, twitter, or send an email to fox friends first @foxnews.com. we will share them later on the show. rob: every time we ask for comments we usually get good ones. heather: we hear a lot of them. love brandon though, he was awesome. rob: he was great. librarian tosses children's books donated by first lady

doj reads in part in the spirit of president trump's american executive order on buy american and hire american, the department of justice will not tolerate employers who discriminate against u.s. workers because of a desire to hire temporary foreign visa holders. now, this whole foods market, they said that credit card payment information may have been stolen from tap rooms, restaurants and other venues located inside of its stores. this doesn't apply to the grocery store checkout because they use a different point of sale. we don't know the scope of this data hack when it happened but law enforcement is involved. it is national coffee day today. what does that mean? that means free coffee for everybody. a lot of places giving out free coffee. cinnabon get a 12-ounce coffee. krispy kreme celebrating all day weekend. tim hortons also has deals

your season tickets. >> oh, yeah, absolutely. >> do that some other time. the national anthem is sacred to us. the flag is sacred to us. if you want to protest, don't do it on your boss' time. don't do it on our time. >> i have been through too much. senile too much. i'm a disabled vet, actually. i took three shots for this country i still stand for the flag. >> i'm in the military. my brother is in the military i have flags that's wrapped in the flag. i have family that's wrapped in the flag. i feel like if you are going to protest, that isn't the right time to do it? >> after interviewing fans outside the stadium about the flag. we are inside the bar arrests the anthem is played ♪ in the home of the brave [cheers and applause] so in summary week four of the nfl season game one, in fact of week four did not see the same fireworks we saw inside stadiums during

week three. as you saw the reaction outside the stadium from the fans still pretty raw and emotional. rob and heather, back to you. >> that one officer said i took three shots for this country and i still stand up. i love that sound bite there todd, thanks so much. heather: thank you. rob: big win for president trump this morning as the u.s. economy is showing signs of a big surge. heather: this as he continues to push democrats to help push his new tax reform plan designed to provide tax relief to the middle class. griff jenkins is live for us in washington, d.c. with more on that. hello, griff. >> hello heather and rob. owosso in g.d.p. numbers second quarter stronger than thought. offering encouragement for a growing economy. the president tweeting g.d.p. was revised upward to 3.1 for last quarter. many people thought it would be years before that happened. we have just begun and is going to give a big speech

[cheers and applause] >> and we're just getting started. >> meanwhile the white house continues to roll out the tax plan with chief economic advisor gary cone dropping by the briefing room to talk to reporters. >> our tax plan is aimed at making sure we give middle class americans a tax cut. we are going to give middle

class americans a tax cut. that is what we are spending all of our time on doing. wee have lots of tools at our disposal to do that and that's what we're going to do. >> we will see whether or not they can get that tax plan passed. not all democrats are on board. experts say with regards to the g.d.p. we are not sure yet how harvey, irma and maria may have a storm-related impact. who knows, maybe in the short-term it will hurt the g.d.p. in the long term they might make things made in america might help. we'll see. rob: that's very true. you will never know how that's going to impact it griff, thanks so much. heather: we don't need another storm. rob rob luckily there is not much on the horizon. we have weather coming up. conservative talk show host rush limbaugh calling out the swamp saying career politicians are blocking the president's agenda because they have a hidden agenda of their own. >> they don't want trump to succeed with his agenda. they can't afford that i'm not exsal gear rating here and trying to say things

sound bite that fox replays the rest of the day. they can't afford for him to succeed with his agenda. they can't afford it the lid's blown. the gig is over. the joke is revealed. if an outsider with no prior political experience can come in and fix messes that people have been promised would be fixed for 30 years, how does that make them look? heather: we are playing that comment again. well, less than two weeks after her record setting emmy win for veep. julia louise drives tweeted she has breast cancer. one in eight women get breast cancer. today i'm the one. she went on to say while she has fantastic insurance, many women actor so lucky writing quote let's fight all cancers and make universal healthcare a reality. rob: the pga rolling out the red carpet for a special

rob: welcome back. the trump administration continuing its crackdown on sanctuary cities. ice arresting nearly 500 illegal immigrants in a massive sweep across the country. the raid referred to as operation safe city spanned four days and stretched from los angeles all the way to new york city. illegal immigrants with criminal charges or known gang affiliations were the ones targeted. and ice did make it clear

that people from the daca program were not included in that round up. all right. a federal judge single-handedly protecting black lives matter in a court of law. ♪ chanting no justice, no peace] rob: controversy damaged caused in these protests a lot of violent protests. the judge ruling that black lives matter cannot be sued for any of the damage calling it a social movement not an entity. so they cannot be sued. this comes as the police officer filed a lawsuit after he was hurt during violent protests in baton rouge. the cop also tried to sue activist leader der ray mccommittees son. the judge ruled he was within his right to demonstrate though. heather? heather: thank you, rob. enough to to a very important topic. the white house opioid now gaining support from the first lady. >> i plan to use my platform as first lady to help as

many kids as i can i look forward to working alongside the presidential opioid commission. and people such as yourself to do all we can to teach children the dangerous consequences of drug abuse. heather: as the trump administration ramps up the fight against addiction. we want to know when doctors should prescribe opioids. when are they useful and what their he patients need to know. we are asking board certified dr. scer nellnelly. thanks for coming in this morning. >> thanks for having me. heather: where does it begin? it begins with overprescribing these medications. >> we saw a decline in 2011-2012 a decline in the prescription opiate overdoses. the root of this problem started with overprescribing. because it put it out there in the community. now what we are seeing is more illicit use.

it started with the opiate prescriptions by physicians. hit let we mentioned they are trying to take some steps now to curb that. steps they are doing working with pharmaceutical companies to find alternatives to opioid prescriptions. develop potent but nonaddictive drugs. here is a big one limit supplies to seven days vs. the 30 days. do you think that will help? >> listen, they are doing great things now. i'm on the front lines of this heather every day. i'm in the hospitals doing detox. talking to kids waking up from a coma after the overdose. we need to do things. what's happening now is doctors have to be held accountable. what's happening is this. when i prescribe an opiate. if i were to prescribe an opiate i mean to look up the patient's history and make sure no other physicians are prescribing opiates. and then prescribe with a limited amount. that puts a lot of accountability on the

doctor. puts less medicine out in the community. prevents patients that are doctor-shopping from getting excessive supply. heather: put more responsibility on the doctors in terms of knowing what drugs these patients may be taking whereas now i know the a lot of the pharmacies are supposed to be responsible for that. >> true, absolutely. heather: you personally have dealt with this. you know what you are talking about in terms of your family. >> one of the reasons i do addiction medicine and i enjoy helping people with this horrible epidemic is because i grew up with it i had a family member dealing with heroin addiction. when i was a young child, i grew um and saw how devastating it was to the family. literally breaking families apart. and on a personal level i saw the suffering and the money and the rehabs and just out horrific outcomes and i really wanted to make a difference. now it's a wonderful thing to see people get better. heather: so what is the answer ultimately? less prescriptions? nonaddictive medicine? when would someone need this? is there a reason people

would actually need these? >> that's the dilemma. that's the ethical dilemma. is right now as physicians, here's the facts. we don't have anything to treat ron nic pain. that's the problem. heather: okay. >> opioids have changed medicine for the better. there is no question about it. post surgical. when you have someone that has terminal cancer, forearm, they need opiates to help them lead better lives. people with chronic pain have hire incidents of suicide. we are there to help. unfortunately chronic pain is the problem. finding more interventional strategies is-to-treat chronic pain is important. also limiting what we are doing with the opiates. it's not meant to be a long-term solution. heather: hopefully, this is a first step to solving this issue. what the government is trying to do now. thank you so much for joining us. i appreciate it? >> thank you for having me. heather: rob? rob: important stuff. a high school principal making one thing clear,

earlier should high schools punish players who don't stand for the anthem? >> we asked and you answered. your comments have been pouring in about the high school's new rule. carley says this is more than fine with me. it used to be an honor to raise the flag at my old elementary and to take it down and fol fold it properly or to be the one to get to hold the flag for the pledge. bill says no, they should not be kicked off the team. the players who did this should also not be surprised when their amount of playing time significantly decreases. brent says i would rather see more parents sending the ultimatum that heir kids should be standing during the national anthem and if the school intervenes for forces them otherwise, then their job will be targeted at the district level. but ron writes: pathetic, when did american high school students have to be disciplined to honor the american flag or national anthem? and j.r. says you can't have it both ways. you can't claim the nfl is a private organization that has the right to govern but claim that a school does not. so a lot of interesting comments. i like what carley says.

it was a very big privilege at my school as well to fold the flag during the pledge as well. heather: absolutely. bring back patriotism to our schools. combine there. rob: i hope this story is going to end some time soon. i'm so tired of talking about it. >> we will see on sunday. heather: i will bet they will all stand on sunday. i don't know. rob: i wouldn't put money on it either way. all right. 55 minutes after the hour. coming up on 6:00 a.m. he is the 43rd president, kids northbound one grandpa. george w. bush like have you never seen him next. heather: it was the picture perfect wedding until this happened ♪ rock the boat ♪ don't rock the boat, baby ♪ rock the boat ♪ don't tip the boat over ♪ don't rock the boat ♪ rock the boat ♪ data at their fingertips.
