abraham lincoln was elected the president of the united states. southern states seriously considered secession. there were threats to assassinate the president elect before he took office. luckily for the u.s., timothy webster and other pinkerton operatives foiled the plots. his service to the country did not stop there. the southern states seceded. timothy webster did not hesitate to defend his country, but he was not an enemy on a bloody battlefield. he put his skill set to use as a spy. he gathered important information leading to -- his work behind enemy lines included trips to confederate camps in richmond. he even acted as a courier for the confederate army and took a correspondence from a general to a colonel. the secessionists saw him as one of them. his family immigrated to the u.s. when he was young. he was raised in new jersey. he married a local woman. the couple had four children. family was important to webster. professionally, timothy webster, who a police officer called the bravest, coolest man that ever lived, worked as a private detective

and five, the united states southern border where admitted gang banger ares and imgrans are infiltratingour border. actually, when you think about it. we are in a hell of a mess and mr. president, you need to get your act together. put6ó]k'0éç your big boy- pants get in the game with a foreign policy. first iraq and syria we need a consistent foreign policy. mr. president, do you know whose side we are on? in syria we support rebels fighting against iran and russia and in iraq we are working with iran and russia against isis. do you ever feel conflicted? mr. president, you can't have it both ways, how do you know whether to shake their hand or throw a bomb. how do you know who to invite to lunch or ambush. three, ukraine. mr. president stop with that ridiculous reset button. >> we have an excellent opportunity to reset the relationship between the united states and russia. >> and the empty threats. >> and indeed, the united states will stand with the international community in affirming that there will be cost in ukraine. >> sanctions against putin must be so strong and immediate and cer

and in washington, republicans and democrats still cannot agree on how to secure the united states southern border. fox's leland vitter has the latest from the capital. >> it seems the only thing republican and democrats agree on is that this a problem, what needs to be done about it, much less how to do it or how to pay for it is a continuing battle. there's bench discussion with president obama of handling things with ab executive order or at least changing things unilaterally when it comes to immigration. even in congress, their competing bill is about how to fund various solutions. the president has asked for 4 billion-dollar and democrats are willing to give him most of that. house republicans say they can problem the problem of thousands illegal minors flooding across the southern border at a fraction of the cost. it has to stop, not writing the president a blank check to keep doing what he's doing that is not work, but actually solve the problem. the american public wants us to have an orderly boashedder. right now they're seeing chaos. number two, president obama sent a letter askin

lastly, we'll leave you with a perspective across the united states, with the southern part experiencingctober-like weather. the yellow indicating 10 to 15 degrees below the norm temperature wise. should be about 20 celsius around the southern spots. typically, closer to 35 degrees, so nice conditions for the next couple days. >> very nice. thank you very much, indeed. >> you bet. >>> well, the conflict in eastern ukraine has been tragic on so many levels. in addition to the 298 people killed when malaysia airlines flight 17 was shot down, hundreds more soldiers and civilians have been killed in fighting there. and for the thousands of wounded, life will never be the same. kyung la reports. >> reporter: this is not the honeymoon these brides expected. exercising their groom's legs, a touch neither man can feel. >> i got shot, i foul down. >> can you feel anything in your legs right now? >> unfortunately. >> can you feel my hand? >> no. >> a para trooper in the ukrainian army is paralyzed. his roommate in this dingy hospital room is also paralyzed, both shot on the fields of eastern ukrai

forced to leave his home at the age of 15 -- >> this is the burning issue in the united states. on the southern u.s. border to my anti-immigrant malicious have sprung up -- on the southern u.s. border, anti-immigrant militias have sprung up here >> deliver those kids to obama -- sprung up. >> deliver those kids to obama because he invited them. >> treat them humanely. fly them back to central america. >> and this is a pro-immigration demonstration outside the white house. human rights groups and clergy are outraged over suggestions children could soon be automatically deported. president obama has asked congress for emergency funding. >> while we intend to do the right thing by these children, their parents need to know that this is an incredibly dangerous situation and it is unlikely that their children will be able to stay. >> trinidad knows that, too. she and her son are hoping they won't have to go to -- into hiding to stay together. >> british police say they've arrested 660 suspected pedophiles over the last six months. >> many of the suspects were doctors, teachers, and care workers who

and if the administration would listen to their four-star general, the head of the united states southern command, general kelly, and the testimony that he has already given to the armed services committee of what is the problem, then we could get to the root cause of the problem and stop these future humanitarian crises. the problem simply is that we are not devoting the time and the resources, the money to the interdiction of the big drug shipments coming out of south america into central america. they come in big shipments from colombia through venezuela by air or sea on the eastern side from colombia through ecuador or originating ecuador out on the western side coming in to three central american states: honduras, guatamala, and el salvador. as a result, the drug lords have completely taken over those countries. as a result, the violence is the highest. honduras is the murder capital now of the world. and as a result of that drug violence of which there is very little law and order, you have the whole system corrupted, and with parents, with children, is it logical that they would wa

the united states be doing? well, we have had very successful drug interdiction programs in the past. we've been very successful at it. but now our four-star marine general, general kelly, the head of the united states southern command, through his task force in key west, the joint interagency task force south -- they have to watch their radars, they have to watch their aerial surveillance, and they don't have the assets to go after 75% of those drug shipments. if we would give general kelly and the joint task force the additional navy assets -- that's navy boats with helicopters or coast guard cutters with helicopters -- to interdict those shipments instead of letting 75% of them go, you'd get to the root cause of the whole problem of why the children are showing up on our border. it's the big shipments of drugs that have completely corrupted the societies of those three countries that have led to all of the ramifications of the children and others going north. now, once those big shipments of two tons or thee tons of cocaine in a boat land in one of those central american countries, then they break them up into small packages, and then they're transported by individuals, and it's very hard to interdict tho

we're seeing this huge worrying rise in number of children crossing illegally into the united states along the southernr. 60,000 in eight months. why have we seen the large spike in numbers now? >> well, it's obviously going to be a combination of reasons given it's three countries. they all have their individual context. it's obviously tragic to have unaccompanied children as young as nine years old making this 2,000 kilometer north with no guarantee of getting anywhere. why are they leaving? the belief their parents may have by getting children over the border they get a promise to stay there. the belief they're in danger, someone or another in gangs and drug violence in their community. many children come from tough areas. some communities have been migrating north for generations. there's a range of reasons. it's clearly accelerated in the last year and now considered to be a serious humanitarian crisis. >> what are they fleeing to? what are the conditions like in centers where they're held once they arrive in the united states? reports surfaced last month about 100 pregnant teenagers and children

makes the cap a lot easier for these skilled immigrants to stay in the united states would you characterize the southern border as secure as congressman gutierrez is that is the say it's broken. the immigration system is broken. the border is more secure than it has been because this administration and the congress have put more border guards they've put more technology more drones more law enforcement at the border but it's still a problem interesting lee mexico has cooperated with us in this central america and humanitarian crisis so it takes more diplomacy also for this to happen now there are a lot of congressmen that are saying you know this is bringing abol of diseases viruses that are the current central american crisis that's just flat wrong but what it has come across as more bad people more traffickers and smugglers i would concentrate more on stopping those that actually what they've done larry is they've taken advantage of a blue loophole passed in the bush administration which was the right thing to do to help young kids not be victims of sexual trafficking at the border but they took advan

out of fifty is still a minority but it's approaching half of the states in this country on the other hand the southern part of the united states and most of the central part of the united states do not recognize same sex marriage that includes indiana state in the midwestern part of the country first of all cheese bread and whatever else first you know. yeah we. where's mine. peter hostage and she sticks with a large body whatever purely. which. is yeah if you know what i mean. in the state of indiana right now we have never gay marriage same sex marriage has never been legal public and party is trying to hide and is trying to push through a ban on gay marriage so that when marriage becomes more accepted on a federal level as it already has a mistake indiana will be one of the most difficult states to pass if you want to protect the conservatism of indiana and what they call family values. family research council believes that marriage should continue to be defined as the union of one man and one woman there's a lot of confusion about the issue of same sex marriage i like to explain that marriage is not simply a civil i

the case. but police were still searching for their prime suspect, maurice wallace. according to his credit card activity, he was traveling throughout the southern united states.losely, investigators focused on his cell phone activity. >> through cellular phone forensics, we were able to locate very specifically where maurice wallace was in realtime. >> when wallace made a call from a shopping mall in atlanta, georgia, police were standing by. >> police! don't move! don't move! >> when police arrested maurice wallace, they found olamide's keys in his possession, which was a big giveaway at that point. >> wallace wasn't driving olamide's car. he was driving a rental car instead. >> there was a gas can that was located in his rental vehicle. we suspected it may have been used to start this fire. >> wallace denied any involvement in olamide's murder. >> i've got to go ahead and read you a couple of things. i'm sure you've, you know -- >> where is my attorney? why am i here without an attorney? you're going to ask me some questions. nine times out of ten, whatever i answer's going to be used against me, so i want an attorney. >> when police left the room, wallace

within 72 hours, to their parents in many occasions and saying, the law of the united states -- >> the law requires a secure southern border. operational control over 100%. >> i want to talk about this for a second. >> why don't you want to talk about the borderer? >> i have introduced legislation well before you came to the congress of the united states with john mccain in 2003 that secured the border. >> we have 30 minutes and we're expecting the president so i want to get in as much as we can. let me push on the logistics. i would take every one of these kids in. this is a terrible tragedy. logistically, i'm not quite sure how we do that and when we shut the faucet off. is this the new normal? do we open the border? how do we handle that? >> here's how we handle that. number one, we follow the law. i'm trying to answer the question. >> real quick. >> that's the first thing. but when people go on tv and say that they should just simply all be deported and understanding that that is a violation, if the president of the united states on the one hand is the person that doesn't enforce the law and then -- >> congressm

the united states and europe. they have the means to do that because if you have a european passport you can enter easily. we have a porous southernorder, people with american passports can enter the united states easily. as much as we think it is a global government air of tranquility, i think al qaeda, which continues to present an enormous threat to the united states, that is where it is going to grow. the second part of that, iran. the nuclear negotiations we been having indiana with iran have soared have failed. we have had a six-month extension. we will negotiate for the next six months to dismantle their nuclear program. the iranians have said we are not dismantling it. we want you to relieve the sanctions on us our economy can improve. we have no intention of dismantling. iran morenow in centrifuges then we have starbucks. the supreme leader of iran who makes the decisions he has said they would like 10 times as many. iraq where al qaeda is now attending. we have i ran him bold them. they think they have a terrific deal with united states. go to israel and hamas. we've seen israel go to the gaza strip. we've seen hamas sup

the united states that are already here illegally. and then these parents pay coyotes down in mexico to have their children smuggled into the united states. >> unfortunately in northern mexico since the united states doesn't control the southern to, in northern mexico, the border is controlled by trance-national criminal organizations, so the coyotes who have possession of the children have to get across the border. in order to do so, they have to pay the right organize the crime syndicate to get across the border, so these children in many cases enof being taken hostage and the parents in the united states end up having to pay more money. in some cases the children disappeared. there are recent accounts of mass graves in northern mexico, and of course some children get sold into the slave trade. the crisis here is that a lot of these parents in the united states illegally don't understand the danger of having their children brought to the united states by coyotes and transnational criminal organ saxs, and because of this, the children are being made to suffer. >> congressman, what exactly did you see when you walked in th e there. >> the first teamed and when you finally got in. >> i don't know if things were cleaned up. i c

a freight train which was carrying a thousand migrants hitching a ride to the united states derailed in southernwas injured but the third rail accident in a month highlights the risks that undocumented migrants from central and south america take to escape poverty, corruption and crime, as more migrants prepare for the journey monica reports. >> reporter: well, we have come to a shelter in the border between mexico and guatemala where a lot of migrants from central america come. they stay here while they can catch a carg o train known as the train of death to take them up north to the border between mexico and u.s. as you can see people hang in here, if there is children we don't know who they are traveling with, only men in that section because this holding home doesn't allow women and men to mix. that area over there says women exclusively. when they come they are screened. there is a security process and they are checked for knives or weapons and if they are allowed to stay they obviously have to follow certain rules. when we got here we ran into a group that arrived on foot and had been atta

the united states in terms of the weather. what is happening is, the jetstream is making a big dip in the southern part of the united states. this is what it looks now. coming in from canada, it allows for cooler dryer air coming in from canada. ahead of the jetstream, a lot of severe weather and over in the west we're seeing a lot of rain. i'll get to that in a moment. up in the north we're looking at our temperatures falling, a lot of warm temperature as well. new england, new york, pennsylvania, flooding earlier this week but all that rain is pushing off and as the jetstream moves a little bit further to the east we are going to get a little bit drier and as well as a little bit cooler. across the central plains this evening we are looking at a lot of active weather. first of all, the thunderstorms developing in colorado. in those thunderstorms, golf ball sized hail, as well as thunderstorms being developed here, outside of denver. the big problem is going to be the panhandle of texas. that's your national weather, your news is next. >> there's more criticism tonight for the centers for disease control and prevention. af

the united states keeps saying that congress must act. i want to be really clear. congress has acted, the president refuses to enforce the law. the thing that is humanitarian here is to secure the southern border. and the president, going on a tour, explaining that if you come to the united states of america, you're going to be able to stay, which is what people in central america believe, that creates the problem here. you have an open border and the president telling people if they come, they can stay. interestingly, these aren't my reports, these are reports from officials down in central america, honduras, el salvador. i want to also be clear here. the president will tell you that the crisis is because crime and poverty are so bad in this part of the world. and i will tell you i spent a lot of time in el salvador. i used to do tracking illicit trafficking operations for the navy. crime was bad then and it's bad now. the only difference between then and now is the president has announced if you come here, you can stay. again, this isn't from me, this is from officials down in central america. >> in fact, the specifics point that out, congressman. the number of immigrants over age 18

the united states and europe. been of the means to do that because if you have a european passport you can enter the united states legally. because we have a very core -- porous southernr people without american passports can enter the united states easily. so as much as we think that this global governance air of tranquility in fact i think al-qaeda which continue to present an enormous threat to the united states, that threat is going to grow. to dismantle their nuclear program but the iranians have basically said we're not dismantling a darn thing. we want you to relieve the sanctions on us to our economy can't improvements we have no intention of dismantling our nuclear program. that are now sitting in iran more centrifuges than with starbucks in america. the supreme leader of iran, the guy who really makes the decisions, he has said that's not enough. it would like 10 times as many. we now see iraq aside, an iraq where al-qaeda is now -- iran which is very emboldened. they think they've got a terrific deal with the united states. i think they are probably right. so then let's go to israel-hamas to purchasing israel go into the gaza strip. we seeing hamas very wel

leaders of honduras, guatemala and el salvador to address the problem of unaccompanied children illegally crossing the southern border of the united states. this year tens of thousands of minors have made their way from central america to the u.s. without their parents. now the obama administration is working on ways to send the children back to their home countries more quickly, as well as deter them from coming in the first place. the bbc's correspondent has this report -- >> navigating the climbing frame, but 6-year-old daniel just completed a far tougher journey. he arrived in america earlier this month from el salvador and is now finally re-united with his mom. he made the same journey two years ago. he's asked not to be identified. >> it's riskier to travel together as a family because people take more interest in you. so it's less dangerous for the children to come on their own. >> daniel made the 5,000 kilometers trip with his two young cousins to escape gang violence and poverty back home. >> what did daniel tell but the journey that he made? how difficult was it for him? >> the only thing he said was that he was scared when he

the kinds of women who are now walking across central america and mexico into the southern united states with their children. the kinds of women who are on those buses with their children in marietta, 2,409 miles from the statue of liberty. those women of strong and ardent hearts and their children saw no welcoming beacon like the statue of liberty in california. instead, they saw people who believe that the land that they were on is theirs, and only theirs, and it's always been only theirs. there was no evidence of any of the local native american tribes being part of the protest group that stopped those buses. everyone who stopped those buses has been a beneficiary of first, the theft of those lands from their original native american settlers. then the seizure of those same lands from mexico as a prize of war. and the town those people have taken their stand in was named after a spaniard, who bought 52,000 acres there before he went back to spain to get married. history is full of examples of countries seizing very large tracks of land on their borders that then create so-called borde

the united states knows that. i don't believe he particularly cares whether or not the border of the united states is secure. >> undocumented immigrants, mostly women and children, continue to flood the u.s.'s southernr. with the president expected to visit texas this week, is an executive order going to follow? >>> keep your devices charged or risk losing them, as the tsa cracks down on passengers coming to the u.s. from certain international airports. what has them so worried? >>> and how much does your american dream cost? the new price tag on affording happiness. this is "way too early"! ♪ >>> hey, there, everybody! good morning. i'm thomas roberts. it is monday, july 7th. hope you had a great weekend and welcome to "way too early," the show that has a number in mind about how to afford the american dream, but we won't reveal it until our next contract negotiations. jen and i have a very firm number in mind. we're going to work it out. all right, so, before we can afford the american dream, let's talk about attaining it, because we begin with the nation's immigration crisis, which is sure to be a top issue for lawmakers returning to capitol hill this week. u.s. border guards are being overwhelme

extraordinary influx of children, some of them very young children coming across the border, the southern border of the united states coming from central america through mexico, you have protestsable reported early another protest today in southern california, at one of these processing centers, what is the right answer here? both sides seem angry and upset. >> i think president obama realizes there is a serious challenge here. he has talked about $2 billion, additional dollars for border enforcement, he has talked about maybe even changing the rules to make it clear people can't stay under these circumstances. i will put it this way, though. i think there is a lot of justified concerned about chaos on our borders and a lot of concern about middle americans have about the effects of immigration on wages and other issues. but blame the system, blame the coyotes, the people who bring the people in, blame the administration if you want but don't blame the children who are here, because of problems in -- abroad. that is the disturbing element here that i think is the trap for republicans, as they do criticisms on immigr
