that are here undocument, -- undocumented, those who are here illegally and committed crimes against american citizens. >> democrats as you well know are pushing back, they are saying what the administration is really trying to do and want to do deter people from claiming asylum in the first place, we really wanted to go after security risks and there are people who are security risks, why would you alert them? it's not about getting people who are security risk deported, it's about scaring everyone in the country. >> amy klobuchar, presidential candidate from the great state of minnesota, this is about fixing immigration law too, the real issue is people can come here, claim asylum, take a kid across the border and may not be

their own kid, we will talk about that in next hour, for now, back to you. >> kevin corke great to have you join us, thank you. >> you bet. >> democrats need to grand standing on the issue of immigration because the only thing that will solve the border crisis is bipartisan leadership. >> we are not talking about families that have been here for a decade, we are not talking about refugees who came across the border yesterday, we are talking about folks who came without permission and apprehended an had the day in court and court ordered removed. if you want to have conversation of laws of the land, fair enough, nancy pelosi is not having the conversation neither is democratic leadership, grand standing when our men and women of ice who have sworn us to help us enforce the laws of the land, doing exactly that, court orders, if you don't come here the right way, we will ask you to go back home o. this is all

havoc and number of rescues that had to happen close the other gulf and much closer to gulf, we can see coast guard rescue video that came over the weekend, they rescued 12 in paris, we watched the levy over top, 9-foot levy, we were watching water pour in, that was on saturday, baton rogue got hammered by rain but the mississippi stayed within its bounds and didn't flood and new orleans here very thankful that the rain levels did not get to the point that they were expecting the mayor saying they were great they didn't get enough rain as forecasted and the levies did hold, heather, back to you. heather: so many people thank you and thank you for coverage down there, rob, great job all weekend. appreciate it. some other stories following for

board writing, quote, deblsio does not care about new york city, he does not care about its people, he does not care about how its run, all de blasio care about is bill de blasio, the man has not responded to the post he and governor c, omo calling for investigations into what caused the blackout, it definitely was something, i was impacted for 5 hours, amazon prime day is now underway but while shoppers punched their credit card numbers for the best deals amazon workers will punch time cards to go on strike, aisha live with the prime day protests that are expected today. >> prime day kicked off an hour ago, amazing deals and delivery time are costing them.

>> they will be on strike for 6 hours, demanding better pay and better working conditions. amazon to protect us and provide safe-reliable jobs. emily on the clock sharing her experience working at a kentucky amazon warehouse being there for 3 days, she writes, quote, it feels like i've been hit by a garbage truck. amazon did raise wages to $15 an hour last november, we remember that, quote, we provide great employment opportunities with excellent pay ranging 16.25 to 25 an hour, benefits, their take, by the way, the strike probably won't disrupt prime day

all too much as amazon has many other fulfillment centers across the country to lean on, health%. heather: we will see what happens, we will get a report on it tomorrow, thank you so much, appreciate it. great news to report this morning, our dear friend and colleague ed henry now recovering at home if you can believe it after donating 30% of liver to his sister, ed sharing this photo standing along side ca, line and son her, liver is functioning normally and sister's new liver started working as soon as it was put in. ed is beyond grateful for everyone's support and ca, line is making steady progress. he's home after 5 days, what a great thing he did. well, the time now is about 11 minutes after the top of the hour and "the new york times" headline claims ice launched raids targeting migrant families but is that really what is happening? national border patrol council

art says that the left is pushing a false narrative and she joins us live with the reality check. and don't mess with this momma bear, the wild close call with pack of cubs, now going viral.

heather: welcome back "fox & friends first", left accusing ice of ripping families apart for political gain, top immigration officials insist that they are only enforcing the law by targeting criminals here to weigh in president of border patrol council art del p, -- puente. >> thank you for having me. heather: we keep calling the raids but they are not raids,

explain that a little bit more? >> so, yeah, i've been saying over and over again they are not raids, what they are is targettive enforcement on individual that is have already laughed at immigration laws, they've exhausted all court dates when it comes to asylum claims and many of them didn't bother to show up to immigration courts, that's what's -- individual that is have been here for a while and pretty much they laughed at our immigration laws and that's who they are going after. heather: they know are not supposed to be here. >> a lot of them know they are not supposed to be here. they exhausted their claims, though. heather: contributing to false fannic as you said, lute of democrats, let's pull this up, this was a tweet, well, specifically the numbers first of all, deportations under each president and you can look at the numbers there overwhelmingly you had president obama obviously known as the deporter in chief and this is what i was

talking about some of the treats from democrats, nancy pelosi saying, trump ice raids today tear families apart, families belong together hashtag. on a day where ice is carrying out raid in cities across the country creating fear and trauma and then you have another one from durbin saying today and every day we call end to trump's immigration immigrant policies that will separate families and children, adding to the false narrative. >> they're just -- they keep finding different ways to attack this president. just amazing to me. you are a united states citizen and you have court order and forget to do do so or decide not to go there's going to be warrant out for your arrest and you will be detained, nothing different.

if i hit any type of crime and i don't show up to court they will come and arrest me and separate me from my family, that's the choice that i have made by breaking the law. >> right. >> it's not the choice that law enforcement has made,@not the choice that the president has made, it's the choice that criminals have made when they break the laws, that's what it comes down to. heather: art, you saw the tweet there from nancy pelosi specifically, let's just take her, for example, you can take a lot of democrats, where were they when president obama was doing this in much higher numbers, he was separating, if you want to go there, separating families, he was doing the same thing in terms of the people as you're saying that broke the law to begin with, broke our laws and have been told over and over you need to leave and had just thumbed their nose at the law. >> well, let's just take it step further, the individuals that are in cities that are claiming sanctuary, calling them sanctuary cities and they are saying that they will not cooperate, they are not going

allow the lawlessness to continue, they have more issues in their cities and that's what they need to start worrying about. heather: warning people ahead of time, basically breaking law as well to allow individuals to break the law, thank you so much, art, we appreciate you joining us this morning. >> thank you for having me. heather: have a good day, 20 minutes after the top of the hour at this point, outrage growing over antiprotestors taking out american flag and raising a mexican flag, nikki haley slamming democrats for their silence, carley shimkus with the reactions pouring in to powerful tweet.

about protestors former colorado governor,hickenlooper. watch. >> the one place on earth, one of the few places on earth where that level of freedom of speech is still protected. >> well, countless others weighing in on social media, michael tweets curious what aoc and the squad thinks of this and then office says if democrats were smart they would condemn this but they won't. that's a big deal. >> big deal as well. area 51 and people saying they are going to storm -- why. >> stories to come out in 2019, 400,000 people have joined the facebook group, calling for people to storm area 51 and

figure out what extra activity is going on down there but this could have real-world implications because the u.s. air force responded in a statement saying, area 520051 is open training range for trust air force and we would discourage anyone from trying to come into the area where we train american forces, yeah, bad idea. a lot of people are talking about this on social media. let's be real, serve talking about this, no one is actually going to do this. probably big joke but funny memes. >> a couple of documentaries right now on netflix and i have a feeling -- carley: that's exactly what happened. we have a photographer. >> the photographer spoke out on facebook, people, put your

phones down and watch the wedding because you could ruin really sweet moments like this, the photographer says to the girl with the iphone, not only did you ruin my shot but you took this moment away from the groom, father of the bride and the bride guest, you attend through screen but instead turn off your phone and enjoy the ceremony, did he take message too far, some users say not at all. i back the 100% photographer, another person says that a bride could ask the guest for a copy of the picture so maybe calming down a little bit. we can all put down our phones and enjoy the moment. >> i don't think the picture on the iphone would be as good as the photographer, professional picture. remember we story of story of iphone and put on wedding dress? >> absolutely.

>> a lot of weddings being crewed through phone screen. heather: 26 minutes after the top of the hour and 2020 democrats getting fired up about the trump administration ice raids. >> these are not criminals, basically electoral effort by president trump. >> it's about scaring everyone in the country. >> will that message hurt them heading into the election, our panel debates up next.

moving inland, governor urging residents to stay out of harm's way. >> that's not let your guard down. heather: showing how quickly waters can diminish. it was really something to watch this over the weekend. >> absolutely. and area of low pressure formed across land and move today gulf of mexico and became tropical, tropical storm barry that became briefly a hurricane and now depression, that's the radar since thursday and really start today ramp up over the weekend, now the wind gusts in excess of 70 miles per hour, 74 miles per hour makes it tropical hurricane and that's what happened briefly as it made landfall on the

weekend, but it isn't the winds that we are concerned with, it is the rain, it has always been the flooding concern with the system, radar pripg, estimations of 8 to 10-inches, almost a foot of rain that was always going to be the legacy of the storm system and as the area of low pressure moves north ward it's going to be slow moving so the flowing is ongoing concern all the way up towards mississippi and tennessee and ohio valley over the next couple of days so we have flood advisories in effect, future radar, again, the problem with this it's going to be slow-moving even though it is a depression that will bring moisture from the gulf of mexico north ward and bring potential for flooding concerns, precipitation on top of 8 to 10-inches of rainfall focus in on portions of arkansas up towards missouri, tennessee, the worst of it will be today into tomorrow and we will start to dissipate over the next couple of days but the biggest concern is going to be the flooding and, again, we are sort of, we are

getting -- ramping up into the peak season of hurricanes, first hurricane of the season and, of course, a good learning lesson that people need to be on guard and listen to your local officials. >> you sure do, absolutely, listen to people like you. thank you, janice, always great to have you join us. iranian president rouhani open to negotiation talks with the united states, iran recently crossed two limits set by the 2015 nuclear deal, however, the president's administration maybe open to discussions, attend un meeting in new york this week, we will follow that for you. alexandria ocasio-cortez slamming president trump after he suggests progressive congresswoman go back to crime-infested home countries and series of tweets the

the country. >> is this a winning message heading in 2020, here to debate democratic strategist antjuan seawright and jason, as we begin, jason, i will start with you and get your response, deportation numbers under each president and you can see overwhelmingly president obama who as we mentioned earlier known as deporter in chief was way above president trump who at this point has 195,000, what's your comment? >> yeah, look, he was a deporter in chief and really don't understand what's controversial about enforcing the laws of this nation, the ice raids are targeting criminals, have had federal day in court and judge demanded that they be deported and ice raids are effectively enforcing those laws, look in the month of may alone, we had over 144,000 apprehensions, we

had about a million pounds of narcotics seized at at the border last year, inhumane crisis, democrats themselves have admitted this recently, nothing controversial about it. >> i would ask you does it seem like democrats in your opinion are focusing more on noncitizens people who are breaking the law and here illegally versus citizens, those citizens that they are potentially chosen to represent. >> absolutely, what we know about this president and some of the right-wing media, they want to do what happened the last presidential cycle and insert anger, confusing frustration and chaos into the political conversation to drive out and generate a certain response in certain people in the country, that's what the ice raids are all about, that's what president trump tried to do in 2018 midterms and that's what we see from republicans now. democrats are laser focused and

fortunately for us it's right in line with 60% what people want, comprehensive bipartisan immigration reform. the republicans failed -- >> antjuan. >> i didn't interrupt you. >> you talk about loopholes, okay, we are encouraging child trafficking right now, needs to be dealt with. listen -- >> you know we are not doing that. >> yes, adult males showed up at the border 2% with children, now you're talking over 50% of single-adult males showing up with children, why, because they know bringing child to the border is get out of fro jail card. >> that's not true. >> it is true. heather: antjuan, that is true, high percentage of the children do not believe to the families.

>> again, what you see happening at the border is people who are trying to escape certain conditions in their country to come to the united states for a better quality of life, that's what the american -- >> the democrat party encouraging them to break the laws, to not listen to ice agents, shut the doors, i couldn't believe what i was watching on twitter and social media. presidential candidates of a major party in this country advising illegal aliens to continue to break laws, it's unacceptable and should -- needs to stop. >> what you find from republicans in the country, you find republicans want to label everyone. >> this is not about labeling. >> a few bad actors, i'm not disregarding that, not everyone who comes to this country are racists and thugs an killers as you want to paint the picture. that's not true. heather: that's not the argument, antjuan, that really isn't the argument, whether

people should be allowed to come into this country illegally or not or if we should -- fix the asylum laws, fix the loopholes, fix it so people can come in here legally. >> heather, democrats welcomed idea of joining republicans at the table to do that. instead you have a president who does not want to. heather: actually jason last word. >> he sure, it's his compassion for this country and for the -- the illegal aliens that are crossing the border illegally that's driving all the decisions he's making because the democrats -- méxico is doing more -- >> we elected -- heather: we can continue to argue this, you can say election or reelection, both side, thank you for joining us this morning, appreciate it. 20 minutes until the top of the hour, taking on amazon, big-box retailers, how can you cash in

>> yeah, we like american made, so what about am done prime day, we have been talking about this, deals facing harsh competition from who? >> yes, today and tomorrow, amazon prime day, lots of deal on amazon really a lot of those amazon devices that we will see mark down, the fire, kindle, all of that, but, of course, you have to have amazon prime membership to take advantage of those prime deals, but there are some other retailers getting in on that action, they've got 2 days of deals as well, running exactly the same amount of time as amazon sales, they are pushing the fact that you don't need a membership to shop on target's website, wal-mart also deal, they've got 4 days of deals starting yesterday through wednesday, so really we are seeing this mid-july shopping spree for consumers out there

looking to take a look at deals and websites now. heather: competition is good, well, the time now is about 46 minutes after the top of the hour and they are facing thousands of lawsuits, now johnson & johnson on doj investigation. mothers using tainted powder on their children, dr. mark siegel is here to break it down for us. >> good morning. hh. ooh ohh here we go, here we go. you got cut off there, what were you saying? oooo. oh no no. maybe that geico has been proudly serving the military for over 75 years? is that what you wanted to say? mhmmm. i have to say, you seemed a lot chattier on tv. geico. proudly serving the military for over 75 years.

allegedly contained asbestos and attempt to go hide it, the company paying billions in lawsuit settlements, what should millions of mothers know about this? dr. mark siegel, thank you for joining us this morning. >> heather, good to see you. heather: what is new about this, i feel like we heard about this 10 years ago in terms of the baby powder by johnson & johnson being dangerous. >> right, talc, talco powder is found in earth, it's got asbestos, miners who are mining to it are exposed to it. naturally occurring talc, they are supposed to take the as-- asbestos out.

the question is did johnson & johnson really get the asbestos out of it, did they comply, are they suppressing information. baby powder is exposed to sensitive areas, baby's bottoms, you can inhale it, getting asbestos is key, without the asbestos in it by the way has not been shown to be carcinogen. heather: now the doj that's involved? >> because if they suppressed information, by the way, we don't know how much asbestos would actually lead to cancer, that's a big question mark from the point of view of oncology, legally, if they were suppressing information about known dangerous ingredient that

-- heather: why would they wait this long to be involved. >> because they wait to see, do we have evidence of harm, was the company deliberately causing harm, did they know it was asbestos in it. amount that can link to cancer, when did they know it. this is why it turn to criminal direction. heather: we have a statement from johnson & johnson which we need to show, we have been fully cooperating with the previously disclosed doj investigation and will continue to do so. >> right, as you mentioned all of the civil lawsuit that is have proceeded this before the eyebrow got raised about this and maintaining j&j that they were not suppressing the information and by the way they did get the asbestos out of this. heather: should parents stop using and also women? >> right, feminine hygiene products and baby's bottoms, so

much scrutiny, i don't want to prescribe it for anyone on tv, i would say it's relatively low. i believe they have, at this point, the question is going back years, at this point i consider it safe, like with anything else, it's safe to use on babies, yes. heather: other product that is you mentioned that are in -- >> i believe it's safe right now. heather: okay, all right, thank you so much, appreciate it, great to see you, time 6 minutes until the top of the hour, bid party blunder going viral, special guest who turned into a different kind of party crasher. i would like to take a moment to address my fellow veterans,
