2:05 am
used to do when he didn't do anything. the reality is, there's a lot of stuff in between that would inflict the kind of punishment we need to. i think iran needs to understand the cost will exceed any benefit gain, including taking out some of r their navy infrastructure, their fast boat infrastructure, their ability to mine this area and also maybe surface to air missile sites. rob: iran said today it will break the limit of its uranium stockpile under the nuclear deal. mexico will have 6,000 national guard troops along its southern border by tomorrow. it's all part of a new plan to crack down on the flow of migrants amid heightened pressure by the united states. soldiers stopping four trucks this weekend, carrying nearly 800 people. this video shows officials breaking a lock on a semi truck and helping them out. the increased enforcement is a directive from mexico's new president. rob: jury selection begins today for the navy seal accused of murdering an isis pres priso.

rob: welcome back. a new surge of migrants at the southern border but they are not just coming from central america. southwest border apprehensions have more than tripled among people coming from india. carley: there's been more than 700 african native apprehensions since october alone. how does this make the job of border agents even more difficult? here to weigh in is former special assistant to the immigration commissioner during the reagan administration, george rodriguez. thank you for being with us. you say this presents a whole new slate of challenges for
2:15 am
border agents. what are some of those challenges. >> first of all, it's the lynn gueslinguistics. the other thing is there's a real challenge on trying to identify who the criminals and terrorists are, particularly since the folks are coming from areas that are full of conflict. the other problem is, again, the health issue. we've had ebola scares all over the place. here in texas, because of the west african that's have arrived and then finally there's the issue of reset link these folks because -- resettling the folks because the communities they would fit into, they're small in the united states. so i mean, these are big challenges for our folks to deal with. rob: let's look at a poll, it shows information on what people think about how the administration is handling enforcing immigration laws and you can see a pretty big swath of people, 50% of people think
2:16 am
the administration has gone too far in enforcing our immigration laws in this country. why do you think that number's so high? >> i fault the media directly and of course the democrats. there's this constant similar sympathetic tone from the democrats and the media. walallwe're doing is excusing bd behavior, excusing illegal immigration. as long as we continue to do that, we'll continue to reward it and it's going to continue. it's bad behavior. we can't afford to do that. folks need to understand that we're talking about protecting our country, protecting our borders and there's nothing wrong with that. carley: you talk about that sympathy and this new group of migrants is seeing a lot of support. there's been online donations. the mayor of portland, maine where a lot of these african migrants are coming through into the united states says that he doesn't think that this is a
2:17 am
problem. so what is your response to that? >> he doesn't think it's a problem right now. but i guarantee it won't be long before he does. the fact of the matter is that you've got culturally, linguistically t ethnically and racially different folks in his community. there will be conflicts he will have to address. these folks are not the best educated folks coming from their country. and so he's going to have to address that whole issue of employment, economics in his community. he has a big heart right now. i guarantee when the pocketbook is hurt, that heart becomes to shrink. rob: let's move over to a topic about legal immigration for a second. this is a new idea, the administration proposing if you sponsor someone to come here legally into the country and that person ends up on any kind of welfare that the sponsor of that legal immigrant will have
2:18 am
to pay restitution, basically, pay back that agency that the welfare was taken from. what do you think of this plan? >> i love it. i think it's very, very important that we understand that we should import folks that are going to contribute to america as quickly as possible. the situation that we've got, we've got the center for immigration studies that did a report earlier this year that showed that 63% non-citizens take advantage of welfare programs. that's ridiculous. we support these nations with foreign aid and then they send us their poor and we've got to support them here as taxpayers. we've got to draw the line some place. we should be a come bag passione nation but we should not be a nation that gives out freebies. we've got to do what we can to get folks self-sufficient,
2:19 am
instead of creating a brand-new class of folks that will be dependent on the government. carley: speaking of compassion, you read stories of people coming from africa and it's horrifying what they've gone through. there may be legitimate asylum claims in that process as well. hopefully they can get it sorted out. thank you so much. rob: 19 minutes after the top of the hour. why a judge's behavior on the bench put thousands of cases in jeopardy. >> i need to challenge a lot of that b.s. and set the record straight. carley: a a social media frenzy as o.j. simpson joins twit her as today -- twitter as today marks 25 years since that infamous bronco chase. you've got to be kidding me. ♪ welcome to fowler, indiana. one of the windiest places in america. and home to three bp wind farms.

2:24 am
board voted to release him. but a doctor says it should be reconsidered. >> this was a horrific offense to say the least. we had a 16-year-old that was brutally raped and killed by these two assailants. i have yet to see any remorse being displayed. definitely candidates for mandatory incarceration for the rest of their lives. carley: protesters calling on governor cuomo to step in to ask the board to reconsider. rob: more than 2700 court cases could be re-examined of after a judge is accused of going to work drunk. william marshall's family filed guardianship papers in february to gain control of his person affairs. they claim he repeatedly missed work as a common leas judge in owe he yow. he was hospitalized three times for alcoholism since 2013.
2:25 am
carley: a shark attack sent an 8-year-old boy to the hospital. the child swimming off the coast when he was bit on the leg. he's expected to make a full recovery. this marks the third shark attack in north carolina this month. two weeks ago a 17-year-old was bitten and needed her leg amputated. and a 19-year-old boy was bit on the foot while surfing. a lot of -- you're seeing an increase of that. it's scary. rob: a toddler called a dolphin whisperer for making new friends at seaworld. check it out. >> d do you like your toy? wow. carley: they love her. that's 3-year-old paisley showing her pink dolphin toy to real dolphins at the orlando theme park. the animals assembling against the glass to get a closer look. how cool is that? elizabeth warren has a chance to
2:26 am
steal spotlight next week, because she won't face biden or sanders in the debate. what would president trump think if she won the nomination? >> i think she's probably going to run against you, elizabeth warren. >> i hope so. boy, do i hope so. that would be a dream come true. rob: could her gain in the polls actually help the president? our political panel on deck to debate that, coming up. ♪ she works hard for the money so you better treat her right. ♪ so, i started with the stats regarding my moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. like how humira has been prescribed to over 300,000 patients. and how many patients saw clear or almost clear skin in just 4 months - the kind of clearance that can last. humira targets and blocks a specific source of inflammation that contributes to symptoms. numbers are great. and seeing clearer skin is pretty awesome, too. that's what i call a body of proof.
2:27 am
humira can lower your ability to fight infections. serious and sometimes fatal infections, including tuberculosis, and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened, as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. want more proof? ask your dermatologist about humira. this is my body of proof.

rob: welcome back. a check of the top headlines this morning. we start with a fox news alert. iran says it will increase uranium enrichment levels amid increased tensions with the united states, this as mike pompeo says all options are on the table to counter iran's aggression following the two attacks on those oil tankers in the gulf of oman. iran denying any involvement in those attacks. carley: jury selection begins
2:30 am
today for the navy seal accused of murdering an isis prisoner. eddie gallagher, a decorated veteran, has pleaded not guilty. a military judge dismissed the lead pro prosecutor for secretly tracking e-mails with the defense's legal team. rob: mexico will have 6,000 national guard troops along its southern border by tomorrow, part of a new plan to crack down on the flow of migrants moving through mexico into the united states amid a lot of pressure by the united states and that potential for tariffs. soldiers stopping four trucks this weekend in mexico, carrying nearly 800 people. carley: today marks 25 years since o.j. simpson's infamous bronco chase. now the convicted criminal is on social media. jeff paul has more on how o.j. says he plans to set the record straight about that fateful day.
2:31 am
>> hey, twitter world, this is yours truly. >> reporter: days after the 25th anniversary of the brutal killings of nicole brown simpson and ron goldman, o.j. simpson launches a twitter cat. >account.simpson, now 71 years , tweeted a video message to followers friday night. >> there's a lot of fake o.j. accounts out there, so this one, at the real o.j.32, is the only official one. >> reporter: the former nfl platforplayer joins the lat fory two years after his release from prison. in 1994, nicole brown simpson and ron goldman were killed in a gruesome knife attack. the hall of famer immediately became the prime suspect, leading police on the infamous white bronco chase before surrendering, unfolding in a live aroun broadcast around the.
2:32 am
in 1995, simpson was acquitted after a highly publicized trial that became known as the trial of the century. he was later found liable in a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the victim's families. the legal trouble didn't there. he was convicted of kidnapping and armeand armed robbery. he was sentenced to prison and was released after nine years. his account garnered more than half a million followers in the first few days. jeff paul, fox news. carley: kim goldman will join us in the 7:00 hour of "fox & friends first" to react to o.j.'s latest comments. many of you on social media are outraged. roland tweet's really disturbing to see that people are following o.j. simpson. why? zachary on twitter says o.j. simpson is tweeting. he should be in a cell, not on
2:33 am
one. and colton on twitter says for the record i blocked o.j. simpson, i have no interest in hearing what is on the mind of a murderer. life is short. be careful who you follow. wow. rob. rob: all right. back to politics now. the stages are set and elizabeth warren is in prime position to really take over the big first debate for the democrats. no other top democratic candidate is in her group, which is the first night of the two nights of debate. with a serious surge in the polls lately, could elizabeth warren be preparing a push to the top? here to debate that is fox news political analyst, jay anna giaa caldwell and antoine searight. joe biden, looks like he's moving in the wrong direction at this point and elizabeth warren is moving in the right direction. what do you think? >> i don't know about that. i think she definitely is enjoying the benefits from laying out a very aggressive policy agenda over the past
2:34 am
several weeks. and the truth of the matter is, she is taking votes wa away or support away from the person running second to joe biden and that's bernie sanders and arguably she is pulling some support away from mayor pete. i think she's enjoying definitely some support to this point. i think that's because she is laying out a very aggressive policy agenda that speaks to the hearts and minds of the voters. i caution everyone that it's still early. there's a lot of ball left to be played and at the end of the day, what matters the most is what happens in south carolina and to this point, according to the most recent poll that came out yesterday, joe biden enjoys favorability and flavorrability among african american voters in south carolina. rob: we're going to go to gianna now. she is moving up because she's focused on policy. i think that gets a lot of respect. what do you think? >> i think a antoine is correct. she laid out an aggressive plan,
2:35 am
including free school and a bunch of other things free. when we think about the fact she is moving up and i know president trump has commented on her potentially being the nominee, this would be very good for donald trump, this would be very good for republicans in general. i know that a lot of people turned to socialism as something which they support. if you're a young person -- >> it's too early -- >> between the ages of 18 and 24, 60% of you view socialism in a positive way. considering those different elements and what the democratic party has done and elizabeth warren specifically with her policy proposals, it puts the democrats in a problematic lane in terms of being able to defeat president trump. rob: let's look at the head to head matchup between elizabeth warren and donald trump. a lot of democrats are enjoying a lead over the president. warren, 43 to 41. biden beats the president by more than that, so does sanders. elizabeth warren does identify
2:36 am
to a lot of people a lot of problems we have in the country. i don't know about her solutions. when she talks about getting rid of lobbying, the rampant corporate greed, middle class being squeezed in this country, i think she scores a lot of points there. antoine, is she likable enough to actually be the president of the united states and to win that election? a lot of people don't connect with her. >> that's yet to be determined. i want to push back on something jianna said. he and his party label anything that's bold and aggressive as socialism because they have no true policy -- >> rep paar ations is bold and aggressive? >> the democrats want to have a policy battle. >> we have a track record of success. there's a difference. >> we talk about policy, you want to turn it into a -- >> we're talking about the economy is doing beyond well. we're talking about what republican and conservative
2:37 am
policy has done for america. liberalism has failed. rob: i have to cut in. we're going to talk about aoc for a second and the tension between i think the far left portion of your party and where nancy pelosi is trying to ride this thing which is to keep it a little more civil toward the president to not rally up his supporters. let's listen to alexandria ocasio-cortez. >> i believe that there is a very real animus and desire to make sure we hold this president to account. i think we have a very real risk of losing the president trump to donalpresidency topresident if we don't have a candidate fighting for true transformational change. rob: for 15 seconds, don't have a lot of time, what do you think? >> majority of americans believe that president trump is going to win a second term. i do agree.
2:38 am
it's difficult to fight against a track record of success when we talk about economic policy. his biggest issue is his behavior on twitter and some of the things he says, because suburban women have voted against him, such as orange county in california. rob: what do you sunshine sounds like aoc is nervous about the president winning in 2020. >> i think the democrats particularly in congress have to stay focused on what they're doing, that's passing legislation that people want. >> it's the wild, wild west now. >> i think we all want to hold this president account aable, particularly the democrats, because we did not see that from the republicans. we have different opinions among the democratic party. i commend speaker pelosi for doing a tremendous job of balancing the various components of her caucus. rob:we've got to cutit there. she does have a heck of a tough job. >> it's the wild, wild west with
2:39 am
the democratic caucus. >> that's why the american people are responding the way they are towards the democrats because they enjoy what you label as the wild, wild west. rob: i've got to cut it off. we appreciate your time, as always. i know you'll be back. right now, several states under severe weather warnings as some very powerful storms are moving across the country. take a look at this possible -- well, that looks like a tornado to me. they're calling it a possible tornado in greenfield, oklahoma. it's unclear if anyone was hurt. carley: in texas, heavy rain and wind sparking flash flooding warnings. this funnel cloud spotted near fort worth. rob: janice dean is live in the studio tracking the storms. >> we have the potential for more severe storms today and through the workweek in some of the same areas. we have a severe thunderstorm watch for parts of texas, including the austin area, where
2:40 am
we could see large hail, damaging winds, isolated tornadoes throughout the day today. and then we're going to sort of show you the broader area of showers and thunderstorms across parts of the mid-at atlantic, stretching across the high plain states, a couple areas we'll watch throughout the day today into the overnight for stronger storms. i don't think we're going to see a tornado outbreak but we could see damaging winds and the flooding rainfall is something we're going to have to watch because some of these areas could receive several innecessary a short period of time -- inches in a short period of time. there's one of the forecast models, areas that don't need to see more rain are going to see rain. across the mid-atlantic and the northeast for much of the workweek, here's the forecast today. so we could see the potential for showers, thunderstorms, and stronger storms for parts of the plains states, across the gulf coast, texas, up towards mid-atlantic and the northeast. i like the fact that we have nice weather on the weekends and then maybe the workweek doesn't
2:41 am
-- carley: totally agree with that. >> unless have you a golf game this week. rob: i have another one today for a 9/11 charity so we need better weather. i think we'll be okay in new york. >> mostly cloudy with a chance of a thunderstorm. if there's lightning, you get out of there. carley: thank you. appreciate it. 41 minutes after the hour. the president calls a new bill to ban burning american flags a no-brainer. the left is up in arms. why our next guest, a marine veteran, says they only care because it forces them to make a stand. rob: the mad dash to make a connecting flight could be a thing of the past. the a airline that invented a new tool to make sure the plane doesn't leave without you.
2:44 am
2:45 am
>> reporter: have you ever printed from one flight to the other, trying to make your connecting flight? united wants to make it easier with a new tool, called connection saver. it uses technology that will automatically identify departing flights that can be held for connecting passengers while making sure that those people already on the plane, they're not going to miss their destination, they're going to get there on time. so this connection saver will also send you text messages if you've got a connecting flight. it will let you know where the next gate is, how long it will take you to get there. just to make sure you can get there on time. united said they've started this out already in the denver hub. they've also expanded it to chicago and so far they've helped more than 14,000 people make their connecting flights. so just in time for summer. carley: that's great. rob: and i love barbecue ribs. this is a great story. >> you could be the person that reynolds wrap is looking for.

carley: good morning. welcome back. the president calling a new bill to ban the burning of the american flag a, quote, no-brainer. but as the left cries foul, is it a slippery slope to start chipping away at what is considered a first amendment right. here to weigh in marine corps veteran kieren lawler. should burning the american flag be illegal? >> the courts have said over recent decades that it's part of your free speech right to burn the flag. i always believed that burning the flag isn't speech at all, it's an activity, not speech. the court says it is speech.

the proper response to that, for those who want to protect the integrity of the flag, is a constitutional amendment. and that's what was proposed in congress the other day a very high bar to get the amendment passed. you have to get two thirds of the house, two thirds of the senate. that's a high bar. you have to get three quarters of the state legislature to agree to this. to do this, you need widespread consensus. i'm looking forward to the conversation to building that widespread consensus. i think the flag is special. it is a unique symbol of our country. the government for which this flag stands should act to protect it. and that's exactly what this law would do. as far as the slippery slope argument, there wouldn't be a slippery slope because this is a one sentence constitutional amendment. congress shall have the right to prohibit the physical desecration of the flag. there's nothing else that opens the door to for a slippery slope. it's very fai narrowly tailored. carley: you think about the people that died to defend our country and the image of the

american flag draped over their casket and how meaningful that is. some people say those american heros died to protect our freedom of speech and burning the american flag is part of that. what do you say to those folks? >> i disagree that it's speech. millions upon millions of people have an emotional attachment to that flag because they served in the military or somebody served in the military, someone that loved was buried under that flag. if you think about our flag, it's a powerful flag. you go back to the flag raising in world war ii, the picture of marines raising the flag in the pacific a allowed us to raise money to finish out world war ii and win world war ii. when we got to the moon, we raised the flag. at ground zero on 9/11, our darkest hour, new york city firefighter raised the flag and gave us hope. it is a symbol like no other in the country. it should be protected. carley: we honored the 75th anniversary of d-day and we were

reminded about all the people that made the ultimate sacrifice. think about where we are today, people kneeling the national anthem, burning the flag at ferguson. how did we get there? why do you think people are so angry when arguably it is the best time to be an american? >> i don't get it. one of our big challenges is we have people who want to come to this country and take advantage of all that we have and they're coming illegally, coming in big numbers legally and illegally and you have people who have been here their whole lives and have a lack of appreciation. i think the proposal will give us the conversation to talk about we live in this country in terms of our standard of living and our way of life compared to the rest of the world. i think it's a positive to have the conversation and my hope is we're able to pass it. carley: it does face an uphill battle. mitch mcconnell says he finds it disgusting to burn an american flag but he does think it is protected under the first amendment. the debate will continue. thank you for being with us
