. this morning on fox 29 weekend. an accused septa fare jumper arrested with a toddler in his arms. why the police chief says he's taking the blame. plus a photo that went viral. a police officer singing to a little girl to distract her from a deadly accident. and it's the happiest place on earth but some news about disney is going to make some people sad. the major change that effects what you'll be allowed to bring in the park. >> and good saturday morning. thank you so much for waking up and joining us on this day. i'm karen hepp along with bill

anderson, good morning. >> good morning. >> a lot of flooding last night, more expected today. we'll get all the specifics from dave warren in just a second but first we've got this weather question. >> we are celebrating her 100th birthday today. what's the weather going to be like today? >> happy birthday, unfortunately not the best weather day. you might want to keep the plans inside today a little break now but look at this. more light rain coming in. rain and cool weather by 4:00, temperatures below 70. rain and thunderstorms 7:00 to midnight tonight. that will be the most active weather time here with this incoming storm. last night had very heavy rain coming over the same area. this is right along 422 in

montgomery county. slow storms drifted to the north. saturated ground in this area, a report coming in 3.8 inches of rain. this was in collegeville. so the ground can't hold much more water and we have that moving in. a lot heavier to the west. the storm will redevelop over philadelphia and intensify. flood watch extended to eastern pennsylvania. the timing and what to expect, i'll have it later coming up with the forecast. >> and that weather has been a cause for main concern. we have a lot of flooding. look at the scene we have right now after the rain from last night. it should down the road right there. we're not sure when this road is

going to be reopening another round of storms may make that even more difficult. we're finding out that there are quite a few who are still struggle zblg let's take a look at the most recent outages. most people in delaware county. the electric is dealing with -- ac electric 37,000 outages and pse&g has about 200 out. >> sabina, people are struggling after tuesday's storm, bracing for another round of rain.

what's being done to help these people out today? >> reporter: there is some progress being made. this was an entire tree that had fallen, the fire department came out and chopped it up for them. the debris here and that was their responsibility. they've got to try to figure out how to get rid of that. she is having some neighbors come out and help her clear all of this brush. in the distance you can hear a chain saw running. one of the houses back here had a tree fall on top of it. they have some workers figuring out, working to try to clear that tree off that chimney, try to start some repairs on that house. 37,000 people. atlantic city electric customers without power today. they might not get it back until tomorrow. so as you can imagine people are incredibly frustrated.

they are going on day 5 with no power. their food is spoiling, they haven't been able to take a hot shower. >> we pretty much have nobody helping clean up. we're doing it all ourselves. there's a live pole over there when power comes back on they're telling us to stay off the grass. we're not getting much -- places to eat, places to shower. >> reporter: people we talked to, they are, as i said, incredibly frustrated. i mean they just want their power back so they can stay at home and not worry about going to a friend's or going to one of these centers that they have set up around town to try to get a hot shower and charge their cell phones. governor chris christie telling the associated press that fema

is on the ground. he may ask for a disaster declaration so the state can get some main to help out with this -- money to help out with this. >> hopefully it doesn't get even worse. five families are displaced after a two-alarm fire in overbrook. firefighters were called out to the 1800 block of north 54th street. the fire started inside a grocery store and spread to the apartments above. >> septa's police chief is taking the blame. 20-year-old ellis smith was holding his young daughter when an officer approached him about

not paying his fare. the officer uses force with that little girl right there and with his hands on smith's neck he forces him up and out of the seat and that's when the chaos erupts. people started contacting officials. smith resisted arrest and they were trying to take his daughter from him. the chief says the officer says he feared he was going to face disciplinary action if he backed off. >> we can't endanger the lives of kids over a fare evasion. that's unacceptable and that's on me. >> smith is charged with resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. the officer has not been disciplined. internal affairs is investigating. >> and taking a look at our cover story this morning, it's a landmark decision, the supreme court ruling same sex marriage is now the law of the land and

states can't make it illegal. the decision was 5-4 and as soon as that ruling was reached, there was, as expected, reaction from both sides of the issue. almost immediately same sex couples in the 14 states that had banned gay marge started lining up for marriage licenses. they say the ruling was an important victory, but opponents say the decision sets a dangerous precedent. >> this ruling will strengthen all of our communities, by offering to all loving, same sex couples the dignity of marriage across this great land. >> one of the cornerstones of the constitution is the freedom of religion, freedom of speech and the right of conscience. we're hoping that that cornerstone remains. >> arch bishop had strong words saying the ruling wasn't a surprise. he says the surprise will come as order people begin to

experience firsthand and painfully the impact of today's action on everything they thought they new about marriage, family, life our laws and social institutions. the mistakes of the laws of the court change nothing but men and women and the truth of god's word. so many of you ruled in on our facebook page as the ruling came out. jessica said i may not be gay but someone i love is. this ruling makes me happy. i don't know any god-fearing ministers who can perform a marriage ceremony. so she's questioning whether or not there will be backlash to this. gloria goes on. this is so wrong. god did not mean for this to happen. marriage is between a man and woman, plain and simple. truth. for everyone who has something negative to say, god doesn't stop loving you because you're gay. congratulations to those waiting on this moment.

signed a heterosexual married christian woman. the report is coming in. we want to continue to discuss this so we've got a guest here with us. malcolm is spending time with us from the equality forum. >> good morning. >> this is a long time coming. tell me what this means to the gay and lesbian community. >> i think most importantly what it means to america, it's reaffirming our basic principles of life, liberty and the pursuit of happenness and what's embodied in our constitution which is equality and nothing is more basic than each individual to chose the life partner of their choice. >> there is a hash tag trending love link. but the pushback came immediately. so now you have legalization but

you have the community being targeted. people are coming out pushing back. how do you respond to what some are saying is a lot of venom. >> there's always going to be pushback. but what we're talking about here is the basic rights of each american citizen. we are a nation of separation of church and state. that allows us to ensure that there isn't taliban, that one religion dictates to another, or dictates the life that each person decides for themselves. so this doesn't interfere with anybody's pursuit of their own religious liberties and frankly the gay community is equally religiously affiliated as anyone else. and a lot of religious groups today affirm gay parishioners and gays as clergy and are marrying same sex couples where

it is legal. >> it's certainly something that will be continued to be discussed, celebrated, opposed but we appreciate you taking the time to talk to us. >> jim will be at independence hall. >> obviously with something like this. look at that. we've got new technology i get to play with. with something like this, there's always such a heated debate about it. you can leave our comments on our fox 29 facebook page. you can tweet us, just use the hashtag #fox29weekend. >> coming up, one of the new york fugitives killed. plus amazing footage from a go-pro camera. a face-to-face encounter with a shark. kind of scary. what they originally saw that

allowed them to get this awesome video.

>> this is your tech byte from the tech tank. google, a little company that essentially controls our lives. what do they do for us? mail, search, advertising, everything. but now google is saying they want to store all of our photos for free for life. now, there's a couple of couples on the free side.

one, google will compress and slightly modified your image. they say it won't be noticeable. the second thing is, and you might have guessed it already, how does google make money? advertising. so by putting your pictures on this service, google is going to look at this picture and they're going to send you more targeted ads. but they already have our information anyway, so i would be comfortable with that. now let's say you don't want your pictures compressed or modified. for a very low, low price of only $9.99 a month, google will give you a terabyte of storage. we shall see what happenings but if you're looking for free photos online, google is your new friend. it's google, you can access it from anywhere. so if you want to continue the conversation, reach out to us and we'll talk more online.

>> taking a look at your news now in the headlines. the manhunt intensified overnight for an escaped killer in new york state. >> officials say they are closing in on david sweat. after richard matt was killed during a shoot out. he was not far from hunting cabins. the governor said the smell of gunpowder and other key clues made them hot on matt's trail. >> a tactical team from customs and border protection met up with matt in the woods, challenged him and he was shot dead by border patrol at that time. >> these are truly armed and dangerous people. and we will do what we have to

do to bring them to justice. >> he had pay shotgun on him. as of right now prosecutors have charged two people who worked at that maximum security prison where the killers escaped with helping them to break out. >> and in other news police have now identified these two men who they say shot those ten people last saturday in west philadelphia. the youngest victim was still in diapers. it happened on the 4100 block of ogden street. a neighborhood block party was finishing up and gunfire erupted out of no where. the men started firing sending ten people to the hospital and dozens of others running for their lives. doctors thankfully expect all ten to recover from their injuries. >> there are so many events happening in our neck of the woods. the rain is going going to wash

us all out. we have this weather question. >> hi, i'm brenda from hero's welcome. join us from a special event saturday morning 11:45 in king of prussia. what's the weather going to be like. >> don't forget brenda. >> i wish i had better news. i know it's kind of a surprise. 11:45, king of prussia. they do have rain plans in case there is some rain coming down. there may be light rain moving in. so we'll look at montgomery county again and this comes from king of prussia and they are right along the turnpike and the schuykill where they meet. just some light rain coming down. it will be getting heavier throughout the afternoon and evening. the most intense portion of this storm will be tonight.

flooding rains last night. this was pretty much right over king of prussia. so the ground can't hold much more water. that will be a big problem, especially this area. this is right around evansburg state park there. right around the convention center at oaks. this is 3 to 4 inches of rain that came down last night that caused some flooding. the ground can't hold much more water and that's exactly what we have moving in. this is what ultimate doppler looks like now. it looks pretty lit up across the philadelphia area and it's slowly pushing in. but when you look at the surface observations along with the radar, only one or two reporting some light rain on the ground. some of this evaporating before it reaches the service. there will be a lot more rain coming in especially this afternoon and this evening. upper 60s, these temperatures will not be moving much here throughout the afternoon and evening. it's by 2:00 where we see some rain developing, but look at

what happens about 5:00. a line of strong storms moving through maryland and virginia. this is as the storm redevelops right over philadelphia. so this is the stormy part here, around maryland, delaware could see severe storms there. the heavy rain comes down exactly where it was this morning. this is between about 7:00 and 11:00 tonight. a flood watch is in effect. but it's wrapping up and moving out by tomorrow. i'll look at what to expect the rest of the weekend in the seven-day forecast. >> how about this trip to a music fest. it winds up for one guy, he ends up in jail. there he is. >> coming up, why a video he shot at the firefly music festival caught the attention of the movies. >> the shocking decision for the phillies the skipper resigning on a friday all of a sudden.

you get called for infants ejected from the vehicle. it's hard to see, but you're in cop mode so you know there's a job to be done and that's to make sure that if you can render aid to anybody, that you do it. that's when we first get on scene. so we have our mode, it's easy to focus on that. but once you break that mode and you get into, like in this instance, dad mode and all the emotions start flooding in and that's when it becomes a lot more difficult. >> and you have children as well, correct? >> yeah. i have a two-year-old daughter named zoe. and she's just getting ready to turn two and she's my first daughter. and it's a new experience as a dad for me. >> so when they handed you this little baby, serena, just two years old, the same age as your own little girl and you have family members who are in bad shape all around her, what did you do? it looks like you took her away

and pointed things out to her. what are you doing? >> one of the paramedics handed me this little girl we walked to the grass area and all of our emergency lights are there on the fire trucks and the vehicles and we had two helicopters that we landed that's when i was singing "twinkle twinkle little star" to her and i kept singing it over again and i held her for a little while and i was able to get her in the back of the ambulance. >> the mother has a message for you right now and she wanted you to hear this message. >> i want to thank officer struck for picking up my daughter serena in my time of need. i want to say he's in critical condition in the icu and we have

brings tears to the eyes. just this picture a loan, got bless her, the officer and you. >> if it shows the character of 99% of police officers today and i hope that cop stays in that girl's life. do you think you'll have the opportunity to visit and spend time with the family. >> i'm the investigating officer for this accident. once that's wrapped up they'll let me be able to talk to the family more. and you better believe i'm going to be there. as my daughter goes through these milestones i'm going to know that will little serena is going through the same thing. i'm excited to enjoy those moments with her and comfort her in this time. >> thank you for sharing your story and spending time with us and speaking with us. >> i really appreciate you covering this and we just thank you so much for it. >> and thank you. and if you would like to help this family, of course we've put a link with all the information

coaster got stuck and . i'm so okay with the selfie stick ban. they're starting to take over and it was quite annoying. and kelly says that's a shame because it's so convenient. me and my son went to disney world in march and we had no one to take our pictures and i didn't want to ask others. so it looks like there are pros and cons. >> here's the thing. so many of us go to disney, we all do it and we use it for our christmas card pictures, we like to have the whole family. >> if the whole family is there -- >> you want everybody in the picture. >> let's talk about go pro cameras. there's three buddies out on a fishing trip and they come face to face with one of our planet's

basketball or softball. >> reporter: she sees no gender limits in basketball. >> we were talking about someone had asked her what it's like to play a boy's sport and she said, you know, what's a boy's sport? sports of sports. and that sort of encapsulates what we talk about. every girl and boy should have the same access to school, to health care, to clean water. it should be safe from violence and i think monet really embodies that spirit of what girls can bring to the table when they have the opportunity to do so. >> what's interesting about her, and the harlem globetrotters obviously great at baseball, but she gets it. is that really her? >> yeah. and i've spoke with her about how far she's come in a year.

summer festival. the big question remains what's the weather going to be like? >> that's a tough one. we do have some weather moving in, unfortunately. so hopefully you're doing something early because the later you go today, the more rain you'll see coming in. right at the southern tip there, montgomery county, right at the border of philadelphia county, the temperatures will be in the upper 60s, it's the rain that's developing. rainy weather by 1:00 and storms coming in. the rain will get heavier between 3:00 and 7:00. dealing with light rain out there this morning. it's heavier tonight. that will be the big problem as we're looking at flooding. heavy rain last night, the ground saturated here in montgomery county, about 4 inches of rain came down. that's cleared out but now this light rain is moving in. this is next storm coming in and it's very light now, not quite

reaching the ground. not many locations reporting rain at the surface yet, but that will change. more rain developing, it gets heavier, and between 7:00 and 11:00 tonight and what we look at the rain and chance for storms as well across maryland and delaware. a flood watch in effect tonight. we're talking about inches of rain so that's what you can be dealing with overnight tonight. it looks like it clears up tomorrow though. >> some people got slammed with the weather. we had a mud slide from last night's storm. we don't know when this road is going to be back open. we still have that weather problem we've had from days ago.

thousands of people still don't have their lights back on. >> desperately hoping they'll get it back today. but another round of storms could hinder crews from getting that job done. >> here's the latest numbers right here from peco. we can see we've got 1800 folks who are still without power. most of those people are delaware county. there's also ac electric dealing with 37,000 outages. pse&g has about 200. >> sabina is live in gloucester county where residents are struggling to clean up after tuesday's storm. any relief in sight? >> reporter: right now it's neighbor helping neighbor. you see that massive tree fell on the roof here of this home. it took out that chimney. these guys working to clear it. they don't live here, they don't work for a company. they're friends. they are out here working hard to try to help their friend clear the house here so they can get along, try to get an estimate from the insurance

company and get on with their lives. right here we're joined by matt who is a neighbor here, one of the many people along this block who don't have any power. how are you doing this morning? >> i'm hanging in there but it's been a rough week with no power. it's been out since tuesday night. we're getting no answers from ac electric. >> how frustrated are you? >> very frustrated. because every house around here is on except this area. they're telling me it's only 200 people left so we're at the bottom of the list. i don't know why but it seems we are. >> reporter: we talked to you a few seconds before we went on the air and you said you got some good news. >> they said it's supposed to be on by noon today and if not to call back. i spoke to amber at ac electric about that and that's what she's saying. >> reporter: so that's good, right? >> i home it's on, because like i said, i have no hot water because everything is electric in there. >> reporter: no hot showers. >> and i want to cut down the trees but my saw is electric. can't even clean up.

i can't paint because i can't see. everything is on hold as of now. >> reporter: we feel for you. we're hoping that power comes on at noon. we'll see if it does. so you heard there, frustration is building. you can't stay at home, can't eat, can't take a hot shower. it's really tough out here. over here now we have a private tree clearing company as you can see. another house with a tree on the roof there. they say that work for them has been absolutely insane. they have been all over the area working hard to clear out these trees. the township of course and ac electric say they are working as fast and hard as they can to get everything cleaned up and power back up and running. folks hearsay it can't happen fast enough. >> what a frustrating situation. 9:05 is the time. five families have been displaced after this 2-alarmer. firefighters were called out to

the 1800 block of north 54th street. this was just after 2:00 this morning. this all started inside of a grocery store. and here's the problem. it quickly spread up to the apartments above that store. there was a firefighter who suffered minor injuries. the cause of the fire is still under investigation. >> and an amber alert issued in maryland for three children last seen on friday night. >> police are still looking for this suspect. there he is. he may have abducted these three children from prince george's county in maryland. they could be in our area. police are looking for a silver honda odyssey with maryland plates. >> the septa police chief is taking the blame for the way a transit officer handled a man accused of not paying his fare. the man seen in this video is identified by police as 20-year-old ellis smith.

he was holding his young daughter when an officer approached him about not paying his fare. smith allegedly refused to show his id and to get off the train. the officer can be seen here using force with his hands on smith's neck forcing him up and out of the seat. once on the platform chaos erupted. the chief says the officer claims he feared he would have been disciplined if he did back off. >> we can't endanger the lives of kids over a fare evasion. that's unacceptable and that's on me. >> the chief taking the blame for that. smith is charged with resisting arrest and disorderly conduct and he was issued a citation for fare evasion. the officer has not comben disciplined but internal affairs is investigating. >> coming up, a crook accused of stealing a cell phone from a man with a disability.

but it gets worse. what the man told the victim that allowed him to get away with even more. plus we all know losing weight is hard, coming up, the one thing that you can do that doctors say can help guarantee success. >> that means potential damage to your home. i'm going to tell you how you can protect your house from mother nature's fury. first you want to make sure your homeowner's policy is up to date. it's important, you want to make sure your coverage matches the value of your home, your bill is paid up and if there's any

special things inside your home, you want to get those on your policy as well. any damage to your home, your first call is always your insurance company. next, it's a good idea to take photos and keep receipts of valuable things in your home. that way if there is damage, you can present those to the insurance company. it will help process that claim. try to get what's called replacement value, not cash value. that means if your bobble head collection is ruined, they have to replace it. if you can't get into your house, before you even process your insurance claim. so there you have it. with a little bit of careful planning now, you'll be able to handle whatever mother nature tosses your way.

not good. i'm cashing out.

it's 9:12 and welcome back to fox 29 weekend. taking a look at some of your news headlines. 21 days on the run. and one of the escaped killers in new york state is dead with an army of law enforcement closing in on the other near the canadian border. >> i think they're getling pretty close. they had a lot of evidence after a bullet struck a camper trailer and people had their cabin

burglarized. that's the guy that's dead. there's still the other guy they're looking for. they found richard matt. he was not far from two hunting cabins. the smell of gunpowder and other key clues had them hot on their trail. >> a tactical team from customs and border protection met up with matt in the woods, challenged him and he was shot dead by border patrol at that time. >> these are truly armed and dangerous people. and we will do what we have to do to bring them to justice. >> now, two people are already charged in connection with this one who work over at that maximum security prison where those killers broke out. >> and check out this tweet. removing the flag from the south carolina state house.

a woman shimmied up the poll to -- pole to remove the flag. they are claiming responsibility for it and tweeting it out to prove it. >> i'm jeff cole. it's time for fox unfiltered where we respond to your comments and complaints right here on the air. okay. joining me first this morning is good day philadelphia's steve keeley. how are you man? >> we survived the storm and trying to survive everything else in the summer heat. >> you have been a reporter in this market for a long time. you grew up over in south jersey, you have covered a lot, seen a lot, and certainly, everybody no matter how hardened they are is moved by what happened in south carolina last week. >> for sure. >> during our coverage you tried to make sense of it all to our local viewers, paying tribute to

especially the ame church. >> this is hallowed ground here. >> i lived on south 6th street for five years. i would go to golden medal i started learning about the history of society hill where i live. i couldn't believe how historical that building was. the first land owned by any african-american in the history of this country and morris brown the founder of that church, buried there along with the founder of the african methodist movement. >> during our coverage of the horror there in south carolina, you said something that upset some viewers and it struck a nerve. >> society hill wasn't the real nice place it is today. this was the slums of philadelphia, even into the '70s here. >> angela was upset by the use of the word "slum." she wrote just because the people in the neighborhood are poor doesn't make them or their

neighborhood a slum. i know you pretty well and i respect you, so let me have you answer what her concerns are. >> that's a fact it was a slum and i was always surprised by the fact because now it's one of the most affluent areas. how could they let where independence hall is fall into such disrepair. it happened in the 19th century. one book i recommend for everybody is "a guide to the city." he said by 1940 it had become a slum, one of the worst neighborhood of the city. a renewal program starting bringing it back to not let those great historic buildings and everything else philadelphia is proud of have anything bad around it like it is. so now it's one of the great neighborhoods in the city.

so i was trying to tell everybody it wasn't always great here. we didn't always appreciate what we appreciate now. >> thanks very much. appreciate you taking part. standing here with steve meteorologist scott williams. how are you? >> i'm well. how are you? >> it's been a busy few days. >> thank you and every other news station for messing up our father's day. i cancelled all events, you guys really messed up my holiday. is that true, scott? >> you know from time to time, us weather folks we take our hits for getting the forecast maybe not as accurate. but this time we pretty much were on the money. >> as we continue on you can see it gets out of here to salvage the start of summer as well as father's day on sunday. we may have been off about an hour or so but we told folks not to cancel any plans but it would be clearing up for you to

salvage much of you're father's day forecast and that's what happened across the area. >> we want to hear from you so text us or e-mail us or even send us a telegram. maybe we'll use your comments next week. i'm jeff cole. >> i'm very concerned today, bill, because it's turtle appreciation day in point pleasant and i'm not sure about this weather, if we can get all of our terrapin investigations in today. let's check in with dave warren. oh, tall ships today. so many wonderful festivals. >> a lot going on. the turtles love the rain, they love the water. so that's what we're dealing with today. we have this weather question also. >> hello fox 29 weekend. can you tell us what the weather will be like for the junior firefighter day camp? >> i actually went through that. i was a volunteer fireman, a long, long time ago. but that's up in bucks county.

>> did you rescue people? >> i did. i did rescue somebody once. i might be able to rely on my training again, possibly. this is what we're talking about with this forecast. in milford township in bucks county. not the best weather unless you're doing water rescues today. light rain, cool and rainy, by 7:00 things start to ramp up with showers, storms and gusty winds. we're looking at the flooding rains moving in. light rain we have now, this will continue to move in through the area. maybe seeing off and on rain showers between now and 5:00. but between 2:00 and 5:00 is where things really start to develop. here's the heavy rain coming in. this is as the storm intensifies. strong storms are likely especially across maryland, virginia and delaware. then this heavy rain moves up to the north and western counties. this will give us the flooding rains between 7:00 and 11:00

tonight. severe weather risk is actually enhanced and this is across maryland and delaware and into a few counties across southeastern pennsylvania. the storm moves out by sunday morning, here's dry air coming in. so it's not a complete washout for the rest of the weekend. if you have plans today you have to deal with rain but tomorrow things will be improving a bit. it will be windy but dry. heavy rain tonight, drying out tomorrow. by tuesday late we're looking at showers and storms. a few storms may linger for wednesday. temperatures trying to climb up to 90 degrees. we're not quite there, but we are close on thursday and friday. >> dave, thanks so much. he's a professional recovering from the terrapin lead-in. coming up on fox 29 weekend, firefighters rushed into a burning home to save a veteran's prize possession. >> plus there is a crook accused of stealing a cell phone from a

person who has a disability. but it gets worse. what the guy allegedly told the victim that allowed him to get away with even more. ♪ ♪

>> welcome back. we've got this question that came in and we tried to get your answers. do you guys have any new information on the duck? we waited all day yesterday and it still didn't appear. we know it had a problem with its pontoon. word is the duck is nesting and they're trying to fix it. >> good morning. they love fox 29 philly and fox 29 weekend and we love you back. >> thank you good saturday morning a lot of you. we love you too. we also love the chief. >> a man is caught on camera

stealing from a 17-year-old who is disabled. the teenager has seeb ral palsy. while they were standing on the sidewalk, the man stole stole the teen's wallet too. when you look at this video you see this dirt ball victimizing a teenager who has cerebral palsy. how low can you go? the only thing every day this victim, this young man has going for him, he goes to dunkin' donuts by himself to get coffee.

that's my take. w??ççóo?óñçoñçwç

>> welcome back. police need your help right now to get two very brazen gunmen off the streets. they know who they are. they're wanted for shooting ten people last saturday. this all happened on the 4100

block of ogden street. those are the suspects. investigators say there was a neighborhood block party just finishing up when all of a sudden those guys opened fire out of nowhere. they started firing sending ten people to the hospital and so many more dozens running for their lives. >> we've seen some video that shows the two offenders driving in a gold colored buick. the car comes through the block multiple times as if they're hunting for somebody. >> doctors expect all ten of those people to recover. but that was pretty bad but if you know anything about where those guys are, please call police. there is a youtube video getting this 18-year-old new jersey guy arrested. he was in a little trouble. he basically thought he was so smart because he posted something online. he snuck into the firefly

festival. he puts the video of himself sneaking into the festival on youtube and he thought he was clever because he titled it "cameras allowed." police saw it and they tracked him down and he snuck himself into jail. let's talk sports now. bill? >> let's move on to something else. less surprising is another loss the phillies losing to the nationals. 5-2. manager ryne sandberg resigned abruptly yesterday. they're in a rebuilding mode. lots of people immediately starting commenting on our fox 29 facebook page. paula writes that's great. he joins more than 50,000 fans who have resigned as phillies fans. but edward says it's aults the

manager's fault. what about the players? if you did a lousy job. you would be fired. baseball players are spoiled. joining us to break it all down, john marks. i don't want to slam ryne sandberg but i will. >> pretty interesting. it was unexpected. the phillies didn't expect it and i hope he's not trying to get another managerial job in baseball, when you quit like that that doesn't look good on you. the phillies are about to hire a new director of operations. he used to run the cubs. the word is he's not a big fan. he saw the writing on the wall. they're going to fire me anyway so i'm getting out while the

getting is good. if they fire you, they fire you, but the losing was grating on him. whether you had whatever manager you want to put in there, this team wasn't winning any games. i can't blame ryne sand berk. >> i blame him for jumping ship. excited about the sick -- sixers. now i'm disappointed. should i be? >> no, you shouldn't be. even three or four months ago, okafor was the number one contestant where any fan would have said absolutely i want this guy. through the tournament, breaking down, everything that goes on with players, post tournament and the draft process, people soured on him. he was the best player available when the 76ers picked.

he's a stud. he's not perfect. but he has a low post-game that hasn't been out there since tim duncan. if you're a sixer fan, he's the best player, i believe, in the draft. and i am ecstatic that the 76ers got him. >> are you a video games guy? >> nintendo? >> how are the sixers going to get them all or does one have to go? >> the problem is -- this may not have happened. the fact that he's had the broken foot and it hasn't healed. at this point you have to take the best player available. i don't necessarily believe when they say it's a good problem to have. it's not necessarily a good problem to have three guys that need to play, but at this point with the talent that okafor had, it's great for the 76ers.

>> always a pleasure to have you here. appreciate your insight. the tweets have been going back and forth all morning and they can continue. just make sure when you leave your comments you use our hashtag #fox29weekend. >> i watched the entire game last night. women's world cup action. julie johnson with a perfect lob. she had that amazing header. the u.s. win 1-0. they will be facing germany on tuesday. we've got another draft to talk about? first of all, he's as cute as can be. he is a great selection and he should be playing right away.

i look forward to watching that action. >> a quick look at your weather. looking out in the poconos. it's beautiful there. if people are looking for a weekend getaway. you can check that out. maybe not today. first we've got this weather question. >> i'm ken and i'm dolores. >> they were down there yesterday. the whole crew was. the weekend it depends on what day you're looking at. today not the best. winds picking up. it will be out of the east to the southeast coming right in off the ocean there. that will keep the temperatures down, keep the clouds in place. only in the mid to low 70s. a high risk of rip currents and also some coastal flooding and beach erosion. the rain coming down 1:00, 7:00, more thunderstorms. it improves tomorrow, though.

so you might get a nice day tomorrow, just a little rough surf to deal with. wind out of the east, look at how it increases. this as the storm develops and intensifies right there over maryland. so you're getting that east to northeast wind closer to 40 miles per hour. we'll talk about the rain now. 2 to 4 inches of rain right along 422. that came down last night. we're getting more rain on top of that. the ground can't hold any more. we have a flood watch in place everywhere across southeast pennsylvania. it will get heavy. the timing looks between about 11:00 and 4:00 for the light rain to fill in. but here comes that storm intensifying. strong thunderstorms likely across delaware and the heavy rain coming by about 11:00. it all winds down tomorrow, the sun is back out and we get to dry out a little bit for the rest of the weekend.

>> firefighters rushed into a burning home to save a military veteran's prize possession. coming up, their heartwarming act of bravery. we'll tell you all about it. >> it's so hard to lose weight. the doctors say the same thing, diet, exercise. coming up, there is one thing you can do, they say, i hope it's a good one, seriously. they say it will guarantee your success. >> a little michael jackson playing in the background. celebrating unfortunately the anniversary of his passing. but we can listen to and celebrate and enjoy his music. ♪ share beat of love ♪ i want to rock with you come to sesame place before little kids become, big kids. before dress up,

weekend.

welcome back. it is 9:44 right now. i'm just reading your comments and thank you for sending them in. let's go to georgia because there was an absolutely heroic effort by firefighters who saved a flag. this flag was a very, very important one to a vietnam veteran's heart. >> the family who lived there

got out safely but had no time to safe their things and among their belongings some special items some firefighters went back into the burning home to find. >> i had some articles that i actually had when i was in the army. which included the georgia flag, which was sent to me by the governor then of georgia. >> the vet has held on to the flag for 50 years. and you know what? firefighters saved it before the flames got to it. he also suffers from parkinson's disease so the firefighters also grabbed his medication. >> it is exactly 9:45 right now. so we follow all the different things that have been trending all over and a pretty unusual name was trending yesterday. supreme court justice scalia. two huge cases were decided this week. he didn't agree with either and

he wrote a dissent and it has a lot of people talking. today's decree says my ruler and the ruler of americans is the majority of the nine lawyers on the supreme court. on obamacare he wrote this court, however, concludes that this limitation would prevent the rest of the act from working, as well as hope. so it rewrites the law to make tax credits available everywhere. we should start calling this law scotus care. solomon jones from wurd. good morning. >> good morning. how are you? >> good. what do you think about this? >> i think on the obamacare decision, let's start there. you have 6.4 million americans in 34 states without state exchanges that would have lost their health care as a result of that. now, if scalia wanted to hurt those 6.4 low income americans that's one thing, but then the rest of the industry would have suffered as well. you've got the health care

industry, you've got employers, you've got people who pay for insurance whose premiums would have gone up because of the cost of those people to the system. he's going to go down in history on this and the other one as a sore loser and his language he used, that's going to be trending for an awful long time. >> her's some of the comments. justice scalia dissent, he referred nothing in point of law, only pure personal bitterness. and this one whole heartedly agree with scalia's dissent. and there's a great many americans think the court shouldn't be doing all the legislating. >> i think the court is doing its job. legislatures come up with laws. tt executive branch signs the laws and it's up to the court to interpret what the laws mean. that's what the court has always done and that's what the court

is doing now. the court is doing its job it's just not to scalia's liking and he's coming across as a sore loser. >> we're allowed to have different opinions and they let the dissent be there because many people may feel that way and it's important to voice that and have other voices be heard. what do you think of that? >> absolutely. i agree with that. you know, when i look at the decision on gay marriage, i think for me as a person of faith, you know, marriage is between a man and a woman. that is what my faith tells me that marriage is. but i live here in america, and so we obey the laws. but if we decide that we don't agree with the laws, then i think we have options as to how we go about that. but my faith also tells me to love my neighbor as myself. so i'm not going to discriminate against my neighbor because i don't agree with them. i'm not going to mistreat them. i'm not going to hurt them because i disagree with them. scalia said people are going to

take vengeance against those who don't agree. we'll see. i don't think that's the case. i think this is still america and i think we're going to just go forward and figure out how we move from here. >> all right, solomon. thank you for your perspective. we certainly appreciate that. to our viewers we appreciate your perspective as well let us know what you think about this discussion. use our hashtag #fox29weekend. bill? >> dave is going to prepare us, so you can go out and enjoy your day. >> try to enjoy it now. we have some rain coming in now. wind will start to pick up. no matter where you're going you'll be dealing with some type of weather. rain, wind, severe weather. we have some going up to scranton, kid rock is playing and foreigner. the trip might be rough and coming back as well. we're looking at flooding rain,

all the way up from allentown to scranton. the heaviest rain looks to be from 95 to the lehigh valley. light rain now, some of it not reaching the ground but the rain will continue to intensify, maybe off and on until about 4:00, 5:00 this afternoon. the rain gets heavy this is where we could see strong to severe weather by about 4:00, 5:00, you see that line approaching baltimore and washington, that comes through areas in maryland and delaware, there is a risk for severe storms, there's that heavy rain coming down across the lehigh valley between 5:00 and 11:00 tonight. that will be the peak. it all clears out by tomorrow. the weekend is not a washout. it's dry and a bit warmer by tomorrow afternoon. >> hi i'm chef robert bennett of classic cake and this is your

fox food bite. today i'm going to be making a summertime favorite, an all american red, white and blue push-up pop. this is what it looks like in the end. now for the ice pops i'm going to make the bottom layer. two cups of raspberries, honey, apple juice and the juice of half a lemon. the lemon helps bring out the freshness. i like it really smooth, if you want it chunky, just pulse it a little bit. make sure it's somewhat homogenous. this is my bottom layer. i'm going to fill them one-third full. you can use ice cube trays, you can do an entire ice cube out of

raspberry and the next flavor is banana. or you can fill it all the way to the top. now put this into the freezer. now i'm going to be making the white part, which is going to be banana, which is going to go on top of our frozen raspberry. watch an ape peel a banana, they peel from the bottom. a lot less strings. three medium size bananas, cut them up. go right into our bullet. you can use a blender, a little hand blender as well. juice apple or orange juice and juice of half a lemon.

it helps keep the banana white. once again keep it chunky if you want. if you like chunks of banana. i personally like it smooth. now we're making the white layer. and again, one-third full. just naturally, because the banana's nature, this is a really creamy, this tastes like ice cream. and for the banana lover, one all the way to the top. now for the final layer, going to make the blueberry part of the ice pop. blueberries, two tablespoons of honey, one-quarter cup of juice and the juice of half a lemon.

now all the way to the top. full it all the way to the top so you get as much blueberries, the raspberry and the banana and it will expand a little bit. put them in the freezer, a few hours later, they're done. these have a screw-on handle. you can find these in craft stores. just layers, the whole thing. very refreshing. i'm chef robert bennett of classic cakes and this has been your fox food bite. w??ççóo?óñçç
