missile. what they say are mockups of enemy bases in the region. a 1 ton warhead can carry a chemical weapon warhead. the news media in a run has been clear about the threats towards u.s. military bases. we want to show you the map again. 1,250,000 miles. that means the bulk grain-based, just across the persian gulf, is in the bull's-eye. as our u.s. bases in afghanistan and kuwait were the united states has a massive military presence. protecting those nearly 100,000 u.s. soldiers in harms way will be the patriot missile. we remember seeing the patriot missile video from desert storm. they have new upgraded patriot missiles around the middle ace. also, in this area, we have a fleet there, as well as the

arrow missile interceptor, while it is certainly capable, it is not foolproof and some of the missiles that landed to the tel aviv and jerusalem areas. it is the direct threats that might impact the united states. an important change in the rhetoric. it shows that the iranians are watching the united states build up and giving the united states an excuse to bring in more forces to the region, which they are they're doing ahead of october wargames, which will be between the united states and israel in joint operations. megyn: leland vittert, thank you. 120 troops and civilians in the line of potential fire if iran decided to attack our personal interests overseas. we have bases within the potential missile range, and today there are questions about the sanctions that are supposed to be keeping iran in check. next hour, we will be joined by

u.s. ambassador to the united states, john bolton, and retired general jack keane, on what is now one of the biggest military threat on the globe. this fourth of july. new concerns about the u.s. economy today. they come in the form of a report. from the international monetary fund. learning about a possible new recession in the coming months. this is just the latest in a series of reports suggesting that our economy has hit a rough patch. tobin smith is founder and chief for nbt research. are we supposed to be paying attention to what the imf i warning or not? >> the imf has not been particularly the best source of views of the next six to nine months. they are bringing up the key point, which is when we had a 4% economy, maybe we could dillydally with this brinksmanship we had last summer. you know, where we were not going to extend the debt limit, and therefore we were going to

shut government down. look what happened. the markets convulsed and we were literally up the brink. we can't do that now because we have 2% economy, if that. and we never really ever addressed the issue. these people signed their names, signed their land, there will become they took risks. right now our leadership is not taking risks and. megyn: the imf is saying that we are headed for a fiscal cliff in this country, and that even if we keep taxes low, and continue spending so that there is more and more money coming into the economy, we will still be in trouble. they're talking about how that will avoid a depressed economy. it will not even avoid it. >> we had a boom from 2002 to 2007, it was basically a mirage. over 50% of the growth was from real estate and financial services. that is not sustainable. we are still in the mid- part of

getting back to a normal economy, and it is going to take us five to 10 years to make that happen no matter what happens. what they are saying is that if that is a fact from you have to get your sustainable income and sustainable revenue together and don't pretend like we're going to have 4% growth. the entire government plan is based on an assumption that in 2012 and 2013 through 2016, we are going to be at 4% gdp. it is not going to happen. megyn: document is revising every effort downward. let's talk politics for a minute. is there any realistic hope for these numbers, because they are downgrading the forecast on growth and unemployment. downgrading across the board. is there any chance that within the next 18 weeks before the voters head to the polls in november, any of these could tick upward? >> you have a couple of things, megyn. one is food prices and commodity prices -- they have come down 30%. that is giving a floor to the

consumer. anyone talking armageddon is missing the point. secondarily, you know, remember that jobs are created by private capital in making investments in businesses. right now, we see this over every presidential cycle. we are starting to get people because they don't know how this is going to happen. we don't know what is going to happen and if we are going to have a house full of republicans. a republican president, etc., or we going to have one-way direction or more of the same? that is the biggest issue that we have right now. nobody wants to reach into their pockets and make that decision right now. megyn: tobin, they do so much. sizzling heat and the threat of storms could put a hitch in some holiday celebrations today. happy independence day, by the way. they are still planning for the show to go on in the nations capital. hundreds of thousands of people gathered on the national mall. steve centanni is one of them. hello, steve. reporter: i am, and i am watching the fourth of july parade. nothing like a good,

old-fashioned parade down and turned down constitution avenue. marching bands from all across the country. thousands of people lining the sidewalks to look at the floats and dignitaries in the marching band. people are just cool and ready for a very hot day. we saw one musician that staggered off to the site and get into the shade because it was just too hot out there. this is just the beginning. by the end of the day, it will be close to 100 degrees. that is a serious concern for authorities down here. after these crowds watched the parade, they are going to file into the national mall and watch the fireworks later on tonight. if they do have problems like that one musician did just a minute ago, they will get medical attention and get water, and hopefully they will be just fine later. megyn: stew since tony, thank

you so much for 14 wounded warriors, made a trip to the devastating attack that inspired so many of these men to give everything for their country. shortly after they made that trip, they came by our studios. i asked them where they get their strength, their compassion, in the face of overwhelming adversity. >> your wife told you when you were recovering at the beginning, you know what happened? and you said what happened to me? and she said you lost your legs, and you said yes. she said did you know you lost both her hands. you said no. your first response was did anyone else get hurt? she said no. you said good, and that was the end of it. >> pretty much be one for most of us, looking at you guys and trying to understand that your

first instinct was to ask whether anyone else was hurt, we have just been told that you had lost your legs and your hands, we try to understand how somebody could be that strong. you have an answer? megyn: it was an incredible time. it is not often as an anchor that you get stopped in her tracks. we will give this gift to you that they gave to us, of their time and stories. while their stories of sacrifice and strength and spirit helped to highlight the price america pays for its independence, you can help restore the independence of this group of incredible american soldiers. we will tell you how you can help them. they are not asking for help, others who want to help them and want to show you how and i beg of you, please stay tuned and think about their sacrifices on this, our independence day. new concerns that the president's health care law could limit our options at the doctors office. in three minutes, we will take a look at the new effort to block

what critics have called the rationing board. plus, new details in the "tomkat" splintery katie holmes planning to sue for sole custody of their daughter based on tom cruise's ties to scientology. just ahead, we will show you the evidence when it comes to scientology that could be her exhibit a. as we celebrate them all of these years of independence today, there are serious questions about just how independent the american people really are. we will bring in stunning statistics. first, "america live" salutes our soldiers and the american flag on this fourth of july.

megyn: security at the london olympics is getting some serious firepower. britain's ministry of defense is deploying missile systems to protect six of the venues. resident groups are protecting protesting the decision because some of the missiles will be placed in apartments. that is awkward. all of this will be in addition to a major boost in manpower. britain is employing its largest peacetime force, numbering over 40,000. new developments today with the president's health care law after the supreme court upheld the controversial requirement

forcing people to buy insurance or pay a fine. different groups have started taking a fresh look at other parts of the law, and the plan that it imposes. they believe is subject to legal challenges, including the parts that they say ration care. that is the critics argument and limits our options with doctors. there is a new effort to block one of us controversial principle outcome and that is this independent advisory review board. doctor marc siegel is a member of our fox news "a-team." this group, independent payment advisory board, mcculloch, they call it ipad, for short, what do they do? >> it is 15 on practicing physicians were not even physicians from about half of the members are going to have something to do with health health care, but the key is, in my opinion that none of them are

in the trenches the way that i am. none of them are working in the clinic. none of them are seeing patients in a private practice. and they're going to sit there on high and make decisions about what is expected and what is not, what is cost effective and what is not. and every year they will make suggestions to health and human services about how to cut medicare back if medicare is going over what the target amount is. i want to tell you, megyn, the chances of medicare going over the targeted amount, based on the consumer price index, when we have high technology solutions coming out, stem cells, genetic treatments, immunological treatments, these things are so expensive, that the idea that medicare would go over target is almost inevitable. these people are going to make suggestions that will be probably a blow to private insurers as well. megyn: reported the critics of this group say that this is going to need rationing?

>> as i just said, there is something called comparative effectiveness research. we have done a little bit and had a taste of it over the past of the last year. they come out and said mammograms are good for 40 to 60. we are doing to any pap smear tests. we don't believe this is necessary. one test is good and another just as bad. one test is cost effective, and the other just as bad. in the trenches of medicine, where the art of medicine takes place, there is no such thing as that, megyn, there is no such thing. it depends on the patient. what ends up happening is a board like this who doesn't practice medicine is going to make suggestions and medicare will pick it up. i might not get paid for doing the procedure that was paid for before. then the private insurers see what medicare is doing, and they always fall in line. what is a good treatment for a good test, something i need to

do, i may not be able to do the one for the obama administration says that the law bans rationing in this group. they have foreseen this contingency and specifically provided against it. >> well, they have a consumer advisory board of 10 members. it depends on what you want to call rationing. it is a little interesting. they can't ban me from doing a procedure, but they can tell medicare not pay for the procedure. and if medicare doesn't pay me for the service or procedure, that effectively is rationing. if a test or procedure gets used because it's no longer popular, because the sport doesn't think it is effective or cost-effective, you know, but it doesn't save medicare money, effectively -- that is rationing. it ends up being rationing because i won't be able to do it. megyn: why are more doctors upset about this. why would you have any doctors who are okay with this if it was fought with such peril?

>> i think doctors are upset about this. i think doctors are very upset about this. the problem is that doctors are too busy seeing patients in the trenches, too busy taking care of patients too late into the night, answering calls and e-mails do you know, hopefully they still care about their patients. the last thing they have time to do is to organize and fight this politically. we are not allowed to yunnan content unionize because of antitrust laws. i am on duty talking about this. i know for fact that most physicians in this country who are practicing medicine, specialists and primary care doctors alike agree with me. megyn: it is interesting. this has been a big talking point among republicans and the critics. now they are zeroing in on this piece of the law. we will see how they fare in court. doctor marc siegel, happy independence day. >> megyn, one more thing.

the harder they make it for me to practice medicine, the worse it is for the patient. megyn: i tried to end it on a happy note, but that wasn't allowed. >> a happy note, happy fourth of july to you, megyn. megyn: coming up, some veterans, honored veterans are speaking out this fourth of july. some of them are upset about this up in court ruling, that it is not a crime to lie about receiving military honors. this did not get any coverage because that ruling came down the same day as the health care really. we will talk about their concerns right after the break. plus, on a separate note, the most inspired piece of tv will see all day. fourteen severely wounded warriors interviewed. during the break, go to

megyn: this fourth of july, veterans are reacting to last week's supreme court decision overturning the stolen valor act. the ruling was overshadowed by the health care vote. it was an act that tried to prohibit someone from lying about receiving military medals. the supreme court said, you can't have a law like that because it infringes upon our free speech rights. jennifer griffin, is with us

with more. reporter: the veterans group that i spoke to were not surprised by the court's ruling and plan to reintroduce a narrower stolen valor law that they think the court will find constitutional. >> obviously the veterans of foreign wars were disappointed in the room. we also look at it as an opportunity for the court in the ruling explained why they disagreed. why they disagreed with the law. i think we have an avenue to move forward to fix it, and that is what we plan to do. reporter: congressman joe hoeffel has already introduced a narrower stolen valor law back in may. that new bill focuses on the legality about lying about military medals and service for profit. the six to three ruling struck down the law that focused on case of xavier alvarez. he said he was a medal of honor recipient after he had joined a

los angeles immiscible water board. the supreme court seemed to be dangling it turned out there -- a carrot out there. justice kennedy's ruling said that the statements did not see entrancing to be made to secure employment or financial benefits. which is reserved for those who have earned the medal. veterans have seen an increase of lying about military service and onerous for those who lie, they say, usually said to have received the highest honors for the medal of honor or service honors. the first amendment reserved to individual citizens and not the government, the right to separate what is true from what is false. and to decide what ideas to introduce into private conversation in public debate. for now, it seems that these veterans groups feel that they have a good chance to reintroduce a new constitutional stolen valor act. megyn: jennifer griffin, thank you. new word today that katie holmes is reportedly planning to seek sole custody of their daughter.

today as we celebrate our independence, our freedom, with fireworks, parades, family time and barbecues, there are new questions about our dependence on the federal government and research shows that nearly half of the u.s. population now lives in a household where at least one person get some sort of government benefit. that is up from 30% in the early 1980s. how independent are we really? and where is this trend going? >> leslie marshall is a syndicated talk show host and a fox news contributor. and michael graham is a radio host. let me start with you on this, michael. the numbers really tell the story. half the population, basically, getting government help. that is up from 30% in the early '80s and is up significantly by 5% is from the third quarter of 2008. where is this trend going? >> i don't think that the summers are as disturbing as the

trend. here in massachusetts we had our highpoint unemployment in 2010. it has gone from 8% to 6%. the number of people on food stamps has gone up by 100,000 people. the problem is in the during tough times you maybe need more government resources or public resources, the problem is that we now have as many people on social security, federal disability come as we do the entire population of new york. when people go from knowing they want to help their neighbors in tough times, when they say it you only something, that is completely different for america. megyn: why is this happening? why is there such a stark difference in the numbers from the early '80s to now. >> well, if we look at programs like medicare and social security, we are going to see that happen going forward. as of this year in january, we have, you know, for the next 19 years, 10,000 people a day, because of the baby boomers becoming seniors, entering the social programs. which by the way, congress gets

and none of them have given any of the money or programs back. if we look at reality, not just massachusetts where i hail from, i love the state, but on a federal level, there were more americans signed up for food stamps and entering the food stamp program than the obama administration, then the bush demonstration. when we look at last year compared to this year, there are less people on unemployment. [talking over each other] [talking over each other] megyn: this is not about president obama, this is about the president and the change. beasley came in turn, he is relevant, when you look at the drastic disparity between the early 1980s and now, half the country is getting government help. more than half the country pays no federal income tax. it is really becoming a complete divided right down the middle between, you know, the haves and have-nots and some would say the workers and the work not been turned and turned.

he meant he is running ads saying get out the jams. the problem is that a bunch of people needed help in 2007 and 2008 when the economy tanked. the problem is that the number continues to grow in contrast. this is across the country. we are nowhere near the numbers we were at when the unemployment rate was where it is now. before we expect the government to take care of them. megyn: how did we get to that point? my parents, it's like that they feel very uncomfortable about any sort of government assistance. they just don't like it. they are over their heads in credit card debt, but they pay it. they continue to pay it, they take second jobs even though they are in retirement. there is an attitude among that generation, and i would say among our generation, too, but that is what you do. is that changing now? >> it's funny, we must be related. i remember the first time i ever got fired, i said where do i sign up for unemployment, and he said go get an appointment, get another job. that is pretty much the way that

i was raised. you know, honestly, when you look at the polls, it is interesting. more than half of a pair on 10 -- more than half don't want to receive government assistance. i also think there is the perception of who stands for welfare and et cetera. we forget there are other types of government programs. from subsidies, for example, that those on the right are willing to cut for the farmers. there are people approving programs that are complaining about the very programs that are being approved. >> right now, immediately -- and what it means to the 26-year-old adult in america today after we raised generation cupcake. megyn: is that real? generation cupcake? >> generation cupcake. we talk about it on my show all the time. if you are 17 years old in 1776, you would probably carry a gun in the revolution. by the time you're 26 years old,

you are a man with a couple of kids, maybe with a farmer business. today at 26, you're still living with mom and dad, buying more pop or your bedroom. it is cultural. megyn: wow. i don't want to make this a political thing, the key battle was on earlier and he talked about the president's health care law. he said that it is in regard to life in america. the broader point he's trying to make the government programs like that, where the government steps in and takes care of it for you. it is not empowering. it makes people feel powerless. is that true? >> i can't totally disagree with that. i was in favor of something that was a bipartisan idea before between clinton and tommy thompson, which was the welfare to work for your program. there are some celebrities, and

i think it was whoopi goldberg who said that she used it as a single mom as a stepping stone. many of these programs are helpful when they don't become systemic. that is what happens in our society in when we see generation after generation on these programs and that is something we need work to change. but i don't think that we just take a hatchet to cut everything, because there is certainly families that need food stamps and certainly are people that needs disability and insurance and need this nation to help them. megyn: temporary support, not in the way of life. thank you so much. one more word, michael. then we have to go. >> the tea party is not about the money that we are talking about. it is about the character. it really is the character of a nation. we have a nation of people who wake up everyday and say what will the government do to me and how will they take jeremy, there is something that is fundamentally different from the america that was founded 236 years ago today.

megyn: ronald reagan said government is the problem and not the solution. thank you both so much. happy fourth. new reports today on katie holmes and tom cruise is divorce. suggesting that scientology is going to be a major issue. three minutes we will take a closer look at scientology's compound, including what appears to be a sniper style bunker on the ground. that is according to the report. could this image become exhibit a in the divorce? and unlocking the mystery of creation. for years, scientists have been searching for the building block of the entire universe. today, have become the? i was s class and having a heart attack. my brother doesn't look like heart attack patient. i'm on a bayer aspirin regimen.

megyn: "kelly's court" is back on the docket today. in this photo, last night, katie holmes was taken spotted with

her wedding ring off. she's going to argue for sole custody of their daughter, suri. we knew that, but we are getting new evidence and where on what she might do with the argument today. she split with tom cruise, we are told, over plans to send suri to the special group in the 500-acre california estate. where they are expected to salute high-ranking church members like tom cruise, it is just the tip of the iceberg. check out this mansion that was built in expectation of the return of the founder of the religion, elron hubbard. who has been dead since 1986. with the gold-based compound equipped with motion sensors and what appears to be a sniper style bungalow turned bunker, we will show that to you in a minute. there questions about whether

this is a good move for katie holmes. all right, the daily mail has these pictures in great detail and talking about the secret base headquarters. also, the group c-org. this is a group that tom cruise want to send his daughter too. to you. this is the breaking point for katie holmes thing that i'm not going to do it. is this likely to persuade a judge? when you see the pictures of the bunker and you look around the compound, you think well, maybe she has a case. >> one of the things, certainly looking at the circumstance, what is the environment of the child will be raised in? the bottom line is what is in the best interest of suri? katie holmes comes forward to say this is the type of environment we have had discussions about, i have seen some sort of interrogation of tom's older children, and i was

very disturbed by it, i don't want the same circumstances to be put upon my daughter. that is why i am striking the independence and coming forward. saying that there is evidence for my child might be impaired in the same way in this compound. megyn: interrogated, i don't know, david. part of the religion is the one-on-one auditing sessions where apparently you hold some silver colored handle of an eater while an auditor asked you questions and notes what you say. and it is revealed to you as you pay more. i mean, work harder in order to master l. ron hubbard's views. >> megyn, who hasn't done that before. it is not exactly disneyland. the judge could be concerned about the sniper bunker or the whole punishment, yeah, these things are not normal. this is not the desert, this is a world community not from where

i live, about 35 miles west of the desert. the feds are investigating. those aren't the primary issues for consideration in custody. can you provide a caring, loving environment, you have the money, honestly both of them do to due to facilitate the child's upbringing, and will you facilitate visitation by the other parents, she is also -- new york is much more likely to grant her full custody, and i think that is something that may not work in jurisdictions. [talking over each other] megyn: i want to jump in here. mercedes, look, we only have the right to look a couple of these pictures. the place looks beautiful. i don't know how secretive it could be if it is huge and sprawling as it appears to be. the other thing that occurs to me, it may sound weird to us, but if you describe capitalist

system to someone who had not heard of it, it might sound weird. judaism and islam, the same thing. is it really the job of the divorce court to say that scientology is a step too far, even though both parents are scientologists, we are not going to -- she is less scientologists than he is. were going to give the child to the mother. >> i think there is going to be some conflict. the judge has determined what will be good for the child. any sort of relations could be disrupted upon those who are learning of this for the first time. but i think the judge will look at the facts. no one ever said that tom cruise wasn't a good father, even to his older children. brinkley, the 3000 miles apart, i think there is going to be some challenges. in the balancing, katie can come forward and say these are the practices that have made me have great concerns about my child. my child is only five or six years old, that is why i am

coming forward. i am here to protect her. this is what i know about the religious specifics. even if the judge says i have to look out for -- megyn: kadi confirmed that she -- katie holmes did convert to scientology. does this work against him in his custody proceeding? should work against him that he is funding the family's bills? >> i don't think that will work against him. what could is instability and that he flies around the world and shoots movies and will hire nannies to take care of the child. their other concerns, megyn, such as scientology's influence on medical decisions, rather than having the doctors do with medical decisions. they're going to be orders made by the judge, ensuring that doctors take care of medical decisions, ensuring that the child probably does not visit that compound anytime soon. those are reasonable concerns that she had. if you look at the whole article

-- the daily mail article, all the pictures of what is going on there. i understand why she is upset. the judge can make restrictive orders, and i think right now, megyn, it is anyone's guess as to who will get custody and where it takes place. california versus new york. megyn: it will probably be washed out by the lawyers behind closed doors. none of them want this in a public proceeding. thank you so much, panel. happy independence day. news today about the universe. it is not often that we get to say that. for years, scientists have been searching for the building block of everything we know. in three minutes, how today they may have found it. and it is the only piece of tv that you need to watch this independence day. fourteen severely wounded warriors talk about the sacrifices they made for their country and what motivates them today. >> the first thing you said to the nurse upon waking from your, is don't be sad for me, ma'am, i would do it all over again for

my country. i love this country. what does this mean to you today? people going to fireworks today, they think it is about that. what is your perspective? >> i think back on all the great warriors performing that sacrificed more than i did. hi, i'm phil mickelson. i've been fortunate to win on golf's biggest stages. but when joint pain and stiffness from psoriatic arthritis hit, even the smallest things became difficult. i finally understood what serious joint pain is like. i talked to my rheumatologist and he prescribed enbrel. enbrel can help relieve pain, stiffness, and stop joint damage. because enbrel, etanercept, suppresses your immune system, it may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, and nervous system and blood disorders have occurred. before starting enbrel, your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether you've been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. don't start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. tell your doctor if you're prone to infections,

have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for heart failure, or if, whilen enbrel, you experice persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness.

peter higgs, he was the man who came up with the idea 50 years ago, and those in, came up with that atomic particle. listen to this news today in switzerland. >> this is very important and this is not only why people are to site content excited about the discovery, they are excited about the prospects discovery opens for us. reporter: now, it was uncovered at the european center for nuclear research in geneva. he basically re-created the conditions of the big bang, which created the universe billions of years ago. then they looked for the particle which was key to holding altogether, everything, the ways it was formed and shaped. it is also called, by the way, the god particle because of its important role. i'm just say there is a one in a million chance that this is a fluke that they are wrong, by the way, secretary chu came out

with a statement today following the discovery. he said, and i quote, it shows the benefit of sustained science by government all around the world. discoveries and political information may be hand-in-hand. megyn: i don't understand that, but thank you for trying. greg talcott. thank you so much. little brain people cannot hold onto these big brained stories. it sounded like something important happened. coming up, iran's are they making new threats about targeting u.s. military bases with missiles. ambassador john bolton and jack keane about why this new level of anger from wrong, and whether we should be taking it seriously. in a new book about president obama is raising doubts about the accuracy of his memoir. dreams from my father. we look at the inconsistencies in the personal history of the

megyn: fireworks are about to begin but not in the night sky. these are happening on the campaign trail. happy birthday america. brand-new hour of "america live." i'm megyn kelly. hoping you are having a great day. thanks for being with us. president obama preparing to launch his first bus tour of the campaign. a two-day multi state event.

featuring his fiercest attacks we are told on governor mitt romney. tomorrow he will head to the battleground states of pennsylvania sanyo where we are told he will go after governor romney as a ruthless ceo who will outsource american jobs. michelle, we are told to expect these remarks the president will be making, they say they will mirror his recent remarks in cleveland and those remarks made mitt romney the issue talking about him as a corporate raiders and more concerned about maximizing his profits. >> obama says he's going there to deliver his economic message. but he has no economic message. it's simply that mitt romney is an evil businessman. this just shows how decemberl desperate this cam -- how desperate this campaign is. they see romney is leading in

battleground states over obama. and they don't have time to fix the economy before the election. this is a desperate strategy on the part of the obama campaign. megyn: it's come down to a choice election. who do you think will fix the economy. each guy is saying don't trust the other guy, he's worse than i am. romney is all about i'm not obama. i can fix it more than he can fix it. and is this the kind of thing that works? tear down politics? >> i think what obama is going to be doing out here is doing a little bit of damage control, not on just attacking mitt romney, we have a job support coming out friday which will likely show weak jobs numbers. on top of it manufacturing is down for the first time in three years. so obama is going to go out there and do a little damage control and reconnect with voters. so this is the way for him to do

more retail politics. megyn: that's where you go when you need money. that's the best place to go. one thing we are being told is the president is not going to be focusing much if at all on his big victory at the supreme court where there has been no mention of healthcare in the outline we have been given of the president's remarks. is he wise to steer clear of that issue from this point forward? >> this was a huge victory for obama. but the problem is the american people still see this as extremely unpopular. they don't like the healthcare bill. the number one issue for americans is they want jobs. although obama got the great boost from immigration and healthcare, it's not the issue the american people care about. the issue is the economy which obama can't fix which is why this economic message is mitt romney is evil and he outsources

jobs. megyn: fox news extreme weather alert. new worries as wildfires rage through the american west. there are large fires burning, 36 of them in 9 western states. officials are calling off a number of fireworks displays saying it's not worth the risk. >> reporter: if they aren't illegal where a lot of folks live, many local governments are banning the personal fireworks firecrackers people like to use in their neighborhoods. in some cases authorities are going out on patrol and a cording to a number of local reports, a number of fireworks calls are down here because neighbors are being more aggressive about pointing cops in the right direction. it doesn't matter if you are in a mountainous community. the populated city areas are just as dry. here in colorado with the

incredibly destructive fires we have had, fireworks don't make sense. >> fortunately the fire risk in colorado is just too high. we decided not to show fireworks for a variety of reasons. wins out of respect for all the people who have lost their homes. >> i lived up here 20 years. better be safe than sorry. >> reporter: there are currently dozens of fires burning across the u.s. fire crews in california contained a brushfire that started last night in obama -- in palm dale. two businesses were evacuated after a brushfire ignited there officials say the waldo canyon area near colorado springs is 80% contained. but the national weather service has issued a flash flood watch

>> i have a strong family. i grew up christian. you can't lose what's not yours.

my life is full of statistics. thing is, i could've dropped out of school and become one myself,

but i didn't because i had people that believed in me. here's another statistic. 7,000 students drop out every school day. that's one ever 26 seconds. it's time that student know that we believe in them. announcer: inspire a student and share your message of support at boostup.org.

megyn: threats from iran this independence day, to destroy u.s. bases across the middle east and to target israel within minutes of any attack on tehran. the threats cop the day after the rogue nation claims it successfully tested long-range missiles capable of that response all in response to a new european oil embargo that went into effect sunday. but now we learn those tough sanctions may be easy to get around. ambassador john bolton and general jack keane, former vice chief of staff of the army and fox news analyst.

let me start with you, general keane. this is the third day of these ballistic missile tests. it caught you are attention that they are -- it caught our attention saying they can destroy the u.s. military bases. you americans who think this is just between us and israel, think again. is that true? >> there is no doubt they can reach our bases, number one. number two, we have the capacity to defend those bases with missile defense systems. mostly maritime systems. but mostly i believe this is more saber rattling than anything else that the iranians are doing. diplomatic talks are beginning begin. they are trying to put pressure on the diplomats discussing those talks. new sanctions are kicking in. we don't take iran lightly. but i fundamentally don't

believe what they are doing right now is a serious threat. megyn: ambassador bolton they love to exaggerate their military powers and i guess they love to do it as they are suppose to be striking at the heart of diplomacy. >> the low-level talks never were going to accomplish anything and indied they concluded without even agreeing when they are going to meet again next. i think the iranians have a couple of objectives. one is to show defines for dough mess figure purposes in iran. and to show they can make things difficult and tense in the region. they had a dramatic effect on oil prices globally yesterday. they test missiles because they want to improve the performance of the missiles. so i think they are

potentially scientific in engineering things they hope to learn from these tests as well. megyn: there is debate whether these sanctions europe put in place are effective. apparently some are getting waivers. but the reports out of iran are that ahmadinejad has been summoned to parliament to explain why the economy has deteriorated so rapidly. they are talking about gasoline lines increase, food prices going higher. might we be having some effect on things in that country? >> i think we are causing them some economic pain. but you have to distinguish between the pain caused by these sanctions and the effect they will have on the nuclear weapons program. to date there is no evidence the sanctions have had an effect on the nuclear weapons program. the iranians have known for 10 years that they face strict

sanctions from the west, from the united nations. they prepared for the sanctions. they stored up large amount of foreign currency reserves. they are expert at smuggling and cheating on the sanctions. using false statistics, falls bills of lading and false whatever it takes. and they have support from china, india, russia, venezuela who are happy to help them evade the financial and oil sanctions. don't think it's going to have any really pact on the nuclear weapons program. megyn: general keen, you said we need crippling sanctions in order for them to work. the question for you now is the part of their threat that is real is if israel does wind up attacking iran, we do have skin in the game. it is a risk to american service

personnel serving on bases abroad. you believe those could be potential targets. >> yes, potential targets to be sure. i do believe we are heading towards some kind of military operation by the israelis. number one because i don't believe the united states has the stomach to do it themselves. we should put a credible military option on the table with the israelis supporting us. but i don't think that will happen. i think the iranians are not stupid. they will calculate -- they will have to rush something to the israelis, probably a limited missile attack. i do not believe given the israeli attack that they would do anything that would provoke a united states military attack on them. they know the only country in the world that can change out their regime is the united states. they doot want to provoke a war with the united states. i believe it will be a limited response back to the israelis

that would not provoke a response from the united states. while our bases would be vulnerable to an attack from the iranians, i do not believe they would do it. megyn: your thoughts on that? >> i agree with everything he just said. i think one reason israel wants the u.s. to take the lead is our capability are a lot stronger and the likelihood of an iranian retaliation against israel would be reduced. if israel has to act on its own, iran will not respond by attack our bases. they will respond by having hezbollah rocket civilian populations in israel. this is not just israel's problem. this is the u.s.'s problem and the whole world's problem. megyn: the latest word was our task was not to bring the positions any closer, but to better understand things. that from a western diplomat

involved in these talks. happy independence day. coming up, a new book about president obama raising doubts about the accuracy of his own memoirs. questions about the stories of the president's past. we heard the saying freedom isn't free. but on this july 4 we'll speak with 14 severely wounded warriors about the sacrifices they made for our freedom. check out the group that's trying to help them get home. tunneltotowersrun.org to see how you can help them in advance of a segment you cannot afford to miss. >> in many ways it's a blessing. with these injuries come unique challenges and overcoming those challenges we get to experience triumph that otherwise people don't. you know what i love about this country? trick question. i love everything about this cotry! including prilosec otc.

[ male announcer ] one pill each morng. 24 hours. zero heartburn.

megyn: a new book racing questions about the accuracy of president obama's best selling memoir titled "dreams of my father." the book was launched in 1995 based in part on his family mythology. but a new biography has been released about the accounts in that book. >> reporter: deconstructing a memoir nearly 20 years old will seem to some an academic affair. but the blogsphere is hotly engaged because the book was written by a future president of the united states. by some counts "dreams of my father" contained 3 dozen material discrepancies with the

facts as they have been unearthed in "obama the story." case in mind. dreams relates how the president's paternal grandfather was detained and tortured in a prison outside nairobi. but after a half dozen interviews, he found that tale unlikely. he says it was his mother who left his father barack obama senior and. in the original introduction to dreams, mr. obama acknowledged the book was not strictly factual and some see this as i have of his desire to have his book join a long tradition of african-american literature. >> malcolm x wrote a famous autobiography and it has been challenged by several people in

so far as how accurate that book is. i think that's part of the process of how biographies end up jousting with autobiographies. >> reporter: the white house commented on the findings. and i i'll tell you what the spokesman had to say. that's what we call a tweed. megyn: tell us now. i'm going to leave to it my twitter followers. you can be one of them, megyn. i note as of right now you are not. megyn: i confess i haven't been following you but i will. i'll follow you if you follow me. >> reporter: i already followed you, megyn. megyn: i'm sorry. see you soon on twitter. we hope you will do the same. we have been promising you this next story and we thank you for your patience. it will be so worth it. the american warriors who risked

it all and paid dearly for our freedom. and some moving thoughts about staying strong in the face of almost anything. >> our spirits can't be broken. the american soldier cannot be broken no matter what you throw at us.

megyn: there is an expression in this country, freedom isn't free. as we celebrate america's freedom, we are getting the privilege of meeting some of the brave men who row texts the liberty we cherish so much in this country. oned warriors sharing in the stories of sacrifice. all from various branches of the military, and no matter their background, many of them say it was the attack on their country in that very spot that inspired them to risk everything for the country they love. their stories will touch you and we hope they will move you to help restore the incidence r -- independence of these heroes on this our independence day. welcome it's a privilege to have you in the studio.

i'm going to embarrass you adam by calling on you first. you said prior to your visit to ground zero you thought it was going to be emotional for you. was it? >> yes, ma'am, it was. i haven't been there since the towers collapsed. to see the names on the wall and the water flowing, i knew it would move me. that's the reason most us went overseas in the first place. i knew it would touch me and it certainly did. megyn: you were not a u.s. citizen when you volunteered to fight. you are now. >> yes. megyn: to me that's amazing that you decided to volunteer for our country. why was that important for to you do that and become an american citizen. >> i have been living here since i was a kid. i love this place like everybody else does. megyn: tyler huffman, thank you

very much for being here. i know you said earlier when you were at ground zero, i hope people remember that we are out there. meaning on the military battlefields out in afghanistan and to some extent in iraq though less so now. do you think people are forgetting? >> no. it's just some people don't know what's going on over there. they don't understand. and you know some people don't, you know, they don't like us being over there, they don't like the military. and i just -- i don't agree with that. i think people should be know more of what's going on over there, what everybody goes through over there on a daily basis. megyn: you were shot in afghanistan. you are a husband, father and marine. you said we are a blessed nation and we take too many things for granted. >> just like in my situation.

the ability to walk, the ability to get up in the morning and do your own thing. go on a run. go play baseball with your son. you take those things for granted until it's taken away. then you realize what people do take for granted. i did. megyn: you have an araising story as does everyone here. you are a quadruple amputee. your wife crystal is a marine as well. when i read your story i had to stop. your wife told you when you were recovering at the beginning, honey, do you know what happened? and you said what happened to me? she said you know you lost your legs. you said why. she said did you lose boafs your hands, and you said no. you said did anyone else get hurt? she said no, and that was the end of it.

i think look at you guys trying to understand that your first instinct was to ask if anyone else was hurt when i just had been told you lost your legs and your hands. we try to understand how anybody could be that strong. >> when you are over there you are looking out for the guys who are next to you because they are take care of you. when something like that happens you just hope that nobody else got injured while you were doing what you were put over there to do. it's just one of those things where you are always looking out for the guy to the left. megyn: i know you said you consider yourself -- this is something i heard from so many of you -- you consider yourself lucky, why? >> i could have been taken that day but i was given another chance at life. every day you get up and you continue to live life the way you are supposed to. and just hope that it goes on a little longer. megyn: so many people these days

are feeling blue, the economy is struggling, so many jobless. that perspective on like you said, people who have their legs, who have their health, who have their families that you guys can offer is one of the most amazing things i have seen. travis mills. your beautiful daughter is off camera. we'll bring her on in just a bit. you will be meeting little chloe and your wife kelsey is here as well. you were just injured in april. you said life is not over, it just got a little more unique. >> it's really unique. i have to struggle, but it's unique. it's just a different way to do things. i have different hands i use. i shave my own face now. things like they said you take for granted, you know. megyn: how are you even this together when this happened so

recently to you? >> i have to be. i have a family to take care of. i have a wife and daughter. i have to learn how to play softball with my daughter or do ballet. you know, i'm going to figure it out. i have to be together for them. megyn: you guys have been through so much, you had to relearn everything. that's probably one of the things you don't anticipate is having to relearn how to put a bottle top back on and assemble the thing that we all use in daily life. but the physical therapy, the occupational therapy. joe wilkinson. you suffered some nerve damage. you have got three children. you refuse to be a victim. >> no way. they said it best, you know. you just got to keep going. i do whatever i can, the same thing with the family. i have my bad days, don't get me

wrong. but there is no way i call myself a victim. i'm lucky. i lost my nephew in iraq in 2004. i know what the other side is like. so every day i live like it's my last. megyn: juan dominguez. you were in afghanistan, you have a daughter victoria. the first thing you said to the nurse upon awaking from your comace don't be sad for me, ma'am, i would do it all over again for my country. i love this country. what does this mean to you on independence day and people go to fireworks and think about that. >> i think about all the great warriors before me that sacrificed to give me the day we breathe today. i wanted to do my part as an american citizen and helping and the war on terrorism. megyn: i have seen so many

times, i would do it all over again. a lot of us think that's crazy. you would? you would do it all over again? how can you say that? brenda morocco, met you a couple days ago. you were the first surviving quadruple amputee who taught in iraq. you said you with do it all over again. help us understand that. >> it many a lot of pride in serving. i loved my time in the army. would i do it all over again. and just -- i don't know, it's one of those things i'm very proud of and i wouldn't gift up for anything. megyn: brian, we met when we were talking about getting your home built. you are one of those guys who says, look, my best friend, jimmy waters died next to me, but this is what i do and would i do it a million times over. there is no regret. is that so? there is no regret? >> no regrets at all.

>> how? >> it's that minds thing. you just go with it. megyn: is this a military thing? you stand up for your country, stand up for your brothers. no regrets no matter the outcome. i want to talk to john peck. this is interesting. john peck. hi, sir. it's a pleasure to meet you. you two years earlierer to a loaive your brain. then you volunteered to go back. you get severely injured again. at first you admit you were ticked off. is that real? we don't want to be too rainbows and unicorns about that. there is anger when it first happened. >> you feel disappointed that they got to you and they were able to do this to you and you can't go back and finish the job

and get revenge payback on them. about it goes away. it's only the first few months. otherwise it starts to go away and you get to your daily living. martha: how do you get past hat? >> support. todd was there an was walk on his prosthetics. i remember having the trach and i had to talk with him on the device they put on your neck. he sat there with his wife crystal and gave me motivation. he said stuff is going to be different, but you can do. keep moving, keep going. you will make it through it. megyn: and you have. after the break we'll talk about how you can help these heroes. there is a very real way and they need your help. we'll meet a knew more of them. including we'll talk to kyle hawkenbury who has a tattoo that

reads for those i love i will sacrifice. his family made sure in the operations he endured after he was hurt it stayed intact. because it was so important to him. we'll let you know how you can help these heroes after this break. that's a big 10-4 kosher. with no fillers, by-products, artificial flavors or colors. hebrew national. the better-than-a-hot dog- hot dog.

megyn: rejoining us now, a group of 14 heroes who made i credible a dry -- incredible sacrifices for this country. you don't like the word "hero," your family has chosen to go with miracle. when you were injured in afghanistan there is a picture of you being medevaced away and on the side you can see your tattoo. the words are "for those i love i will sacrifice." it's close to your heart and your family made sure it stayed

that way and stayed intact. why did you get that. >> i wanted a tattoo before i deployed and i wanted something that meant something. when i get old i don't want something stupid on there. it actually came true so it meant a little more after the fact. so i'm glad they kept it. megyn: you showed it to us. they kept the tattoo intact. how do you feel about their fight to make sure it was preserved. >> at the time i didn't care because it was about my life, but i'm glad it's there. megyn: i want to talk to josh kearns in the back. you adopted the motto, say i won't.

that never say die, you can't keep plea down attitude that soamg of you guys have shown. three tours of duty and you are still telling everybody, say i won't. is that what got you through? just that sheer will to get better? >> i had that since i was in high school. it just kept me going. if you tell me i'm not going to do it, would i do it anyway. i still go hunting and just want to do what i want, you know. megyn: given your motivation, you won't. you remember that. that will inspire. i can relate to that just as -- you know, a human being, the more people doubt you, the more you are determined to do it. todd love, the piano player of the group. >> i dabble. megyn: we have video you dabbling. you lost one of your arms but

you are determined to play with the other arm and you say you are better now than you were before. >> i know more about music than i knew before. i didn't think i would be able to play like i used to. and i can now play -- i have a talented instructor and he helped me out have much. megyn: you say i'm still the same man. i was a boy when i left. but now i'm a man. around devout christian. how has that helped you? >> i have a strong family, i grew up christian. you can't lose what's not yours. megyn: mark lazinsky. you were still in high school when 9/11 happened. you went to college and dropped out so you could enlist. regrets? >> not at all. megyn: how do you get to that point? >> originally i was in college

because i wanted to do the officer route. after two years of college i couldn't sit on the sidelines. megyn: you say you moved on and life looks pretty good. >> yes, ma'am. in many ways it's a blessing. with these injuries come unique challenges, and overcoming those challenges we get to experience triumph that otherwise people don't. megyn: michael, 85% of your body was burned in iraq and the other 15% had to be used for skin graft. you are been through a lot. you admit there was anger and depression at first. but now, you say you want to be a visible reminder that despite some of these devastating injuries, your life is not over as a result of them. >> absolutely. at the very beginning you are laying in the hospital completely dependent on somebody else. at that moment in time you don't think it's going to get any

better. but as time goes on you start doing more and getting out more, you find out there is a lot more than you could realize. i have been back to iraq three times since being injured. one of the greatest moments is going to one of the detention facilities over there and they have, you know, a bunch of the insurgents locked up and they are probably saying yeah, we got one. who is on the inside of the gate and who is not. our spirits can't be broken and these guys are representative of that as well. the american soldier cannot be broken no matter what you throw at us. megyn: you guys are living proof of that. can i just ... [applause] we had you all here because we wanted to hear your incredible stories and be inspire bid you which you clearly are. but there's something you need back us from. there is something we can do to

say thank you and help you. some of have you been the beneficiary of these smart homes. you might remember frank siller. his brother martin siller was killed on 9/11 when he ran towards the tower. you put together a program where -- through the tunnel to tours run.org foundation and gary sinise foundation, they are building homes for these guys. so they can turn on lights and access cabinets and live a life of independence and dignity. you need people's help. >> nobody here asked for a house. they are so humble when we go to them, gary and myself and our foundation we ask if we can be honored to build them a house, they humbly accept after

sometimes we ask them many times. realize that they didn't come to us. we went to them. they didn't expect this. i think as americans we have to give back. megyn: you can see they don't ask for help. they don't focus on themselves. they focus on the road ahead. we have millions of viewers watching this show and you can help. these men here never asked for anything. they rushed to the danger to protect our liberty and now they need to us show them some of the same devotion that they showed to us on the battlefield abroad. $10 from everybody watching this program would build a home for each one of these men. $10, what have you spent that on the past 10 days. that's all they want, a home to live in that would give them back their own independence. please go to

tunneltotowersrun.org. that's where this brother ran from the tunnel to the towers on 9/11. you can make a donation and learn more about their stories and hope show these men how thankful they are. it's one thing to be sitting in your home and you feel it. it's another to do something about it. it doesn't take a lot if everyone would chip in. the man behind that foundation is frank siller. he lost his brother steven on 9/11. he devoted his life to helping these heroes. there is baby chloe. it's tunneltotowersrun.org. god bless you all. it is ! there! where ? where ? it's getti away ! where is it ? it's gone. we'll find it.

megyn: give us our thoughts on twitter on megyn kelly on that last segment. the flag that's usually seen flying near the american flag during presidential speeches, you will not believe what goes into making it. jamie colby is live with the details. >> reporter: the women making these flags feel like they are serving our nation as well. every single one of the presidential flags are hands sewn in philadelphia. the vice presidential and presidential flag are very unique. it takes two ladies sewing in tandem 45 days to complete one flag.

13 so-called flag ladies work stitch by stitch to make the standard. >> we put a little bit more love in our work. >> reporter: more love and hand sewing allows for the mirror effect. their appearance signals the appearance of america's leader. >> it makes me feel good when you see the president next to the flag. >> reporter: the flags go with the president when there is a change of administration. so a new president in november would mean a lot more sewing. >> we are waiting for the next presidential election. this is a big year. inaugurations and presidential elections are a big deal because of the amount of flags that will be ordered. so we have to wait and see. >> reporter: those ladies made 9 flags for president obama's administration. they took two years to complete

the order. they would love to meet a president. none has ever gone to meet these women who sit there hour after hour. megyn: holiday heat wave making the holiday a scorcher for many americans. people in the east are still without power five days after the storm.
