>> welcome back. to a folks weather alert. 100 million americans are under a storm warning. storms brought down trees and powerlines. >> steve: could barely see out the window. chicago hit with flash flooding and rushing water. speaking of cars, nascar fans face downpours for the city's first street race, which was delayed because of the weather.

>> residents are warned to brace for extreme heat. temperatures expects to soar to 115 degrees. let's check in with adam klotz for the fox weather forecast. what do you have for us? >> adam: wild weather across the country. eastern half of the country, something similar today. you see every afternoon storms explode, expect to see something this afternoon. the rain continuing to linger across new england, at times fairly heavy. that takes heat of the day. rain from mississippi and georgia to the carolinas. potential for severe weather today, including areas like charlotte, norfolk, dc and philadelphia, up to new york. that is two on a scale of five, large hail and wind possible and

isolate tornado is not out of the question. out west, it is the heat. you are seeing 115 in phoenix. 113 in vegas, 106 in bakersfield. showers here for eastern half of the country. everything in green, risk for rain for today's forecast. for the 4th of july forecast, maybe a chance of severe weather. hot across portions of the west, those are weather headlines. back over to you guys. >> steve: regarding weather at end of tomorrow, tomorrow people will be flying home, wherever home is. for the most part, we won't have bad weather in the northeast, which caused a bottleneck all over the country. >> adam: most are afternoon and evening, if you get out early, you'll be in better shape. >> steve: thank you.

the reason i mention that, up on the big board, the number of people cussing at the airline through the roof. look at that. on the graphics on the right are cancellation. on saturday, almost 8000 delays and 300 cancellation. on sunday, fewer delays, double the cancellation. today 600 delays and 83 cancellations. if you have a connecting flight or have to be at an event and they cancel, what are you supposed to do? rachel is thinking about driving. >> rachel: i was just asking, should i drive, i don't want to get stuck at the airport. other passengers have been delayed, here is what they have to say about their experience at

the airport. >> i've never seen so many people at the airport. glad i got here earlier or i probably wouldn't have made it. >> getting here, lined up, i didn't know we were going to make it today. >> running all over the place, no set pattern this morning. >> everything takes so long, everything is do it yourself. we had to come around the world to get to this line, i don't know if there is construction, about the the rerouting was a lot. >> we allowed for a lot, not much you can do, hope to get through before we miss a flight. >> steve: i heard a story, somebody being interviewed at laguardia, they slept on the floor for two days. >> the airlines will say stand around for standby and it might be a couple days.

will i make it on standby? that was my home-town airport in atlanta. >> rachel: that is why they were so nice. >> i will take credit, they route you all over that airport different times of day. >> steve: what is going on, americans were sick of covid and people are starting to travel. this week, they are suggesting four million people will be in the skies, 15% higher than it was in 2019, before covid. the problem is, as you look at newark airport and their new terminal a is really nice. if you are stuck somewhere, you might as well be stuck there. the faa needs more air traffic controllers and airlines need more rampers and gates. at newark, united has asked from port authority of new york and new jersey, give us more gates,

we don't have enough places to park the planes. >> rachel: they need more pilots and flight attendants. there were mandates and many decided to retire because they didn't want vaccines. it is important to have a transportation secretary who is an expert in the field and pete buttigieg isn't. pete buttigieg is saying, it's not me, it is the weather. even though there has been perfect weather, not bad in the northeast. listen to this. >> we had a hard few days with severe weather at the beginning of the week and that definitely put enormous pressure on the system. on friday, we saw, according to tsa, record number of passengers and saw cancellation rates stay low, below 2%.

they shot up first part of the week because of severe weather hitting the key hubs. most passengers understand no one can control the weather, anything under control of the airline and the faa side, we need to continue pushing to make sure there is smooth experience everywhere. >> you said we need a transportation expert that is expert about transportation, i disagree, we need a transportation secretary that can be a leader. pull from anywhere in the country and do a good job. you need a leader that can find good ideas and put in action and bring people to the table with different interest for stated goal of fixing this problem and this problem persists. you can't blame the weather. the weather exposes the problem. >> rachel: the left is trying to

control the weather, spending a lot trying to do that. not working. it is scary stuff and expensive. trying to be god is kind of expensive. we had a big decision from the supreme court on affirmative action. pete buttigieg was elected because of the ceiling breaking potential he had and that is why he's there. you said he's not a leader and certainly has no experience in something that touches everybody's lives like transportation. >> steve: the thing about the weather, if you have one hub that is knocked out of commission, the whole country is out of whack. the problem over the last couple days was at newark. they could not get planes in and out and there was bad weather. there are three major airports,

newark, laguardia and kennedy within a couple miles. when there is bad weather, it is hard to fly in, they use instrumentation. they rolled out the new 5g this weekend. they had been moving it down, they moved planes that do not have updated systems to places where it doesn't rain. >> rachel: taylor riggss the faa is not equipped for this. >> the faa is just not right now equipped to handle events we used to be able to handle. united airlines ceo kirby said the faa used to be able to handle these, no longer due to staffing and shortages, not able to handle it. that is frustration with passengers, people want to make

sure they have a flight, ittic tas off on time, air traffic controllers show up. so many issues right now. >> rachel: united states government spent millions on infrastructure bill, if you call. >> steve: billions. >> rachel: billions, thank you. that was a green new day. they are trying to control the weather, not using the money to update and modernize our transportation system, which is what people think of when they say infrastructure. the bill passed and they said infrastructure is a lot other than transportation infrastructure. >> might want to get airlines and flights fixed. people are ready to leave big cities riddled with crime any way they can. violent holiday weekend already with deadly shootings across the nation. chicago reporting and sad it is no surprise, 30 people shot in

historically violent few days. >> rachel: dc and baltimore seeing several attacks leaving several dead and dozens hurt. >> steve: alexandria hoff live in washington, d.c., not every weekend on monday morning we come in and talk about how somebody tried to bomb two businesses in dc and threw a molotov cocktail. >> alexandria: that is a head scratcher, or it is not. an atm is attempted to be blown up. anything goes this time of year, summertime, when crime heats up. the victims of the crime, children, adults, dogs, properties and peace of mind. most cases, the actors are still on the run. in chicago, 30 people were shot this weekend, victims range from just five to 85 years old, three people were killed, including a

15-year-old boy. in the dc area, police are sounding off following a crimeistry, investigators say yesterday morning a suspect committed a homicide and three carjackings, killing two dogs in the process after exchange of gunfire with police, that suspect was taken into custody. >> done this job for a long time and it is extremely rare to come across an individual who has such a disregard for life. >> alexandria: explosive devices in the capital. people are searching for those who used them to attack buildings yesterday. it was set off around atm then a nike store and a grocery store. just feet or blocks from the capitol building, supreme court, important stuff around there.

police are working with su surveillance video, they have not caught them. in baltimore, 30 people shot yesterday morning, most victims were teens, many of them children. 18-year-old gonzalez and bemy were killed in that. police are searching for the suspects, multiple shooters fired their weapons in the brooklyn homes section of the city. >> this was a reckless act of violence that has taken two lives and altered many more. we will find those who are responsible and we will not stop until we do so. >> alexandria: residents reported hearing barrage of gunfire, given the weekend, some assumed it was fireworks. >> steve: that is understandable.

thank you. >> rachel: thank you. this week in the wake of the supreme court justice decision on affirmative action, we heard a lot of the usual suspects come out and talk about systemic racism and oppression. i don't hear the voices speaking about what happened in chicago, which is unbelievable, and in dc, as well. this is affecting african american communities, wish they would pay attention to that as much as getting into harvard or yale. >> socio economic factors see this violence for sure. >> steve: 8:14 on this which is not technically a holiday. carley joins us with news from paris. >> carley: french police union demanding action after six straight days of riot after a

police death of a teen on tuesday. 3000 people arrested and hundreds of police officers hurt since the unrest. calling for calm is not enough, we need to impose it and reestablish order in the republic and put those arrested beyond where they can't act up. elon musk facing backlash from twitter users for placing limits on number of posts you can read each day. here is raymond arroyo. >> elon musk said i'm going to be the protector of free speech. well, looking at this move, he's closer to xi jinping. >> carley: verified users can read 10,000 tweets and unverified can read 1000. new united states00ers can read 500. musk says the limits are

connected to my life, integral in my life. you learn about me through their lens and learn all they have been through. they go through this and they are so strong and inspiring and helped me through my difficulty. some are childhood best friends, people i served with. and the gold-star wife of the man standing beside me the day i lost my legs. daniel grier. you can get it everywhere books are sold, it is on audio book. if you want to see my signature, get a virtual signing this wednesday, july 5, sign up using qr code on your screen, most technology thing i've ever done, use qr code to connect with me.

because one day she will be famous. >> she is bringing it to life and believing it. >> manifesting. >> steve: congratulations. >> great news. >> steve: wimbledon takes off today with artificial intelligence. how ai could impact tennis. >> rachel: plus, saluting heroes, celebrating independence day with folds of honor. hear more about their important mission and highlight a deserving family they have been helping, straight ahead. ♪ also be a soldier. he's still a soldier. ♪ he's on his couch for the news at 10. son, holy spirit.

manifestation of education. we are passionate about educating and colline and every everett, thank you for sharing your story. >> steve: tell us how your scholarship helped your dream come true. >> absolutely. i was working as a registered nurse in 2011, when we lost my husband, his dad. when you grieve something that big, at a young age, you grieve more than the loss of your husband. in my path to restarts, i got a crazy idea to become a high school teacher and first semester, it was more expensive than i planned on and folds of honor came in to help me finish that and i'm about to start my eighth year of teaching and i often say that scholarship helped me finish that path and made me a better mom and woman. >> steve: lovely.

you have your education now. everett, you have a future use scholarship, any idea what you want to do when you grow up? >> i would like to be a golfer. >> steve: a golfer? >> yes. >> dan rooney knows about that, he went to university of kansas, he's a golf pro. oh, we know. >> we are raising him right. >> as people look in on this fourth of july weekend, how can they help you help other families like this family? >> well, people don't realize folds of honor started above our garage. my career as f-16 pilot, 13 years ago i reached out to anheuser-busch and they said, we believe in you. it is about believing in people, they believe in themselves.

anheuser-busch did that for me, we kickoff 13 years of partnership with them, they donated $22 million. we have awesome new product here coming out. people literally can crack a cold budweiser, bud light and celebrate freedom and provide educational scholarship to the military and first responder families who sacrificed so much for the freedoms we enjoy and that is a great easy way to say we love our country, crack a cold budweiser and support a family. we have 12,000 applications for families like colline and everett trying to get to school this fall. visit folds of honor.com, we will send an awesome t-shirt saying, i'm proud to be an american. >> steve: i have tons of those
