Email us and let us know what you think at friends foxnews. Com. Steve yesterday eric holder was at the Naacp Convention down in the orlando area. While he did not address the fact that the department of justice is looking into whether or not George Zimmerman violated Trayvon Martins civil rights, because there so far has been no evidence that he has done that, he did attack the stand your ground laws which are in about 30 states right now. He also talked a little bit about how clearly zimmerman targeted, profiled mr. Trayvon martin, and at the same time he talked a little bit the attorney general did about how he, eric holder, was profiled when growing up. He was stopped twice on the new jersey turnpike and also pulled over in georgetown just for running after dark. Brian he used this opportunity, the naacp, hes the first attorney general, africanamerican heritage, but to talk about this in ways that could be more divisive than in ways that could unite. I thought it was interesting he couldnt look at the trial and see something blatantly wrong in which the trial was conducted, the rule of law was put forward. However, when he decides to, unlike the president , focus on guns, he focused on stand your ground. It was fascinating to see that according to reports published in the daily caller today, when it comes to the stand your ground rule, black floridians have benefited disproportionately from it in terms of homicides. In terms of the stand your ground claims in the homicide cases went towards, to the side of africanamericans. And that is disproportionately high compared to the population in florida. So the law has helped africanamericans in that state. Steve the fact that eric holder would bring up his own personal experience and talk a little bit about how he was profiled when he was growing up, George Zimmerman profiled, he said, Trayvon Martin. And then he got really personal and he talked about how when he was a kid eric holders father, who was from barbados, told him that any time youre around the police, youve got to act very carefully. Here now the attorney general yesterday in orlando. Trayvons death last spring caused me to sit down and have a conversation with my own 15yearold son like my dad did with me. This was a fatherson tradition i hoped would not need to be handed down. I am his father, and it is my responsibility not to burden him with the baggage of eras long gone but to make him aware of the world that he must still confront. Its time to question laws that senselessly expand the concept of selfdefense and sews danger in our neighborhood. Anna people are wondering why the white house is continuing to push this issue when the f. B. I. Didnt find any evidence and neither did any of the jurors apparently that George Zimmerman was doing any sort of racial profiling or was a racist himself. More and more africanamerican are starting to come out and theyre frustrated with the medias push for racism in this case. Lets listen to alan west. When we continue to have people that are saying racial profiling, racial profiling, if you continue to promulgate that phrase, people are going t it. Thats where the media comes in. That jury was absolutely correct, as a lawyer. I dont want to mention names like Melissa Harris perry tell people im holding my black children tighter tonight. No, theyre not. Not at all because zimmerman was tried, found innocent of these charges and that woman who says god is a racist is embarrassing for me as an africanamerican to hear juan williams, msnbc, cnn talk about this case as a race case. The facts were decided correctly on this case. And dont try to say this case was wrong and dont use this case as a race case unless youre trying to hustle people to make money. Im sick of this. Steve the whole element of the race hustlers is out there as well. You know what . When you take a look at what you do hear on some channels and you hear on the radio as well and you look at some of the headlines, it does look as if they are drumming up tension across the countries. From the baltimore sun, witnesses claim this is for trayvon in beating. In baltimore in the examiner, white man reportedly beaten by back youth. This is for Trayvon Martin. In milwaukee, you can see that. In the miami herald, police say a man claims that there was an assault after the zimmerman verdict. That was in mississippi. Anna these are incidents making headlines. Of course there are incidents that dont make national news. A lot of that is because the liberal media doesnt want to its not a money maker for them and doesnt make them hraod gook. And they have been look good and they have been accused here recently of making this worse. Actually from the beginning, from the 911 tape that was doctored from nbc, that got this whole thing started and got the race issue on the table. George zimmerman is hispanic. Hes a white hispanic, as we are now starting to calling him. But if he had been going by a different name steve were not. Anna jorge or Something Like that, his birth name brian his family made a conscious decision not to bring up his hispanic heritage while the trial was going on. A columnist came out and had something to say. Can we get over the fact that this trial is about race . In honesty it wasnt about race, wasnt about guns. It was a misjudgment. Here is his quote. Yesterday i was going to illustrate the perils of racial profiling but i hadnt followed the case in detail. So i sat down and watched the closing arguments. Nearly seven hours of video. Turned out i was wrong about many things. The initial portrait about zimmerman as a racist was completely unsubstantiated. He is a khroplist with he is a columnist withslate. Steve the attorney general wants to see the stand your ground laws changed. The problem is in those states the department of justice has little they can do over them because they are state laws. So the change it would have come at the state level. Brian lets see where the president goes with this. I think hes backing out. The attorney general didnt say call for a retrial. I expect the Justice Department to do something this week. Straight ahead, have you seen it . It is the exact moment a sixyearold boy finds out his dad is coming home from afghanistan. [crying] brian wait until you see what happens when his dad actually comes home. Anna remember when the president said we have to share the wealth . Stuart varney has evidence that policy is hurting the folks who voted him into office. Well talk about that coming up. Nothing going to break my stride nobody going to slow me down ive got to keep ive got to keep on moving fish when its foggy.

One leftwing Advocacy Group criticizing president obama in what was supposed to be the fourth year of an economic recovery but thats not been the case. Since president obamas inauguration, wages of lowincome workers have taken a huge hits dropping as much as 5 . With 20 million unemployed or underkphroeud underemployed has the president s base reached the breaking point. Stuart varney is here to weigh in. This is a left wing group, the National Employment law project run by activists and union members, run by jarrett bernstein. It is a leftist group saying, look, the president s policies have not worked for the people who voted for him. Lowincome workers you saw from the graphic they are worse off now. 5 worse off than they were on inauguration day. Brian they say according to this study, the biggest hits taking from people who earn between 10. 51 cents and 12. 41 an hour. Food preparation workers you saw the list. Home health aides, personal care aides, maids, housekeepers, they are 5 worse off. It is clear that the president s policy of tax the rich and redistribute, regulate wall street, regulate the banks, regulate the health care system, regulate energy, it has not worked. Brian what do you say to people who say thats what happens when you inherit a mess . The economy was going down. He did indeed inherit a mess, but the policies he put in place to fix it have not worked for the very people who voted for him. You cannot say that youve rerpbd america to prosperity youve returned america to prosperity when lowincome people are losing ground. In fact, that same study found upper income professionals are losing ground. Their wages and salaries down 2 in purchasing power. The policy of redistribution, all government, all the time has not worked. Brian stuart, being you say it has not worked, who do you blame . Do you blame congress or the president who has not passed anything significant since the stimulus package . The president set the tone. All government all the time. Regulate, regulate, regulate. It has not worked. I blame the president and his policies. Thats me, my important. Brian jarred bernstein used to work for Vice President biden who wants to be president biden. Havent heard from him in the past six months. Whether he is on the side of jared bernstein, i do not now. But he left the Vice President and now runs this project.

Witnesses say they were dumped there by fishermen who couldnt sell them but others claim they washed ashore. Cops there are investigating what happened. Steve . Steve thank you, anna. Leaders in the Africanamerican Community just gathered in orlando, florida, for the Naacp Convention. They are calling on the Justice Department to file charges against George Zimmerman for a federal civil rights violation. Our next guests say their own civil rights were violated at that same convention. They say for being conservative. Joining us is Fox News Contributor and author of backlash and her husband, a senior fellow. Good morning. You were blacklisted from the Naacp Convention . Absolutely. Ive been blacklisted for a number of years because ive been trying to get the naacp to come out and take a stand when black conservatives are criticized and targeted because of our views. All i want to do was talk about people empowering themselves, how they can be selfsufficient and not rely on others, not rely on government. But on the flip side, thats what the naacp and the rest of the black liberal establishment does not want the black community to hear. They want blacks to be victims and to think theres racism and they cant get ahead and really its a lie. Steve you guys wanted to at tpbd and perhaps speak attend and perhaps speak and at least have a table and what were you told . We work with Freedom Works and wanted to be part of the exhibit hall. We were willing to pay as a nonprofit to have a booth there. We were told there was no room for us. Clearly when we went there, we took shots, there was a lot of rooms. Since when does a nonprofit reject money . Steve how could you possibly skaoez into that exhibit hall squeeze into that skpeubt hall. Exhibit hall. It is concerning because a lot of message we heard was victimization. Our country is an exceptional country. We have a wealth of opportunities available but it is up to people to work hard and pursue these opportunities. But the message that was communicated from the naacp and others on the liberal side is not about empowering ones self. They were trying to roll back the block to the 1950s to keep blacks concerned. They complained about the Supreme Court decision on voter rights. Trayvon martin as another example of bias and race in america. Steve explain why. Here we are in 2013. We have an africanamerican president. The biggest stars in the world are africanamerican here in the United States. Is the naacp essentially its a liberal front group and i find them to be irrelevant because they continue to push the same mental of moving people back the same mind set of moving people back. They are advancing policies thats going to harm the black community. Ben jealous, the president was excited coal fired plants are closing. That means a loss of jobs. The black community has already been devastated with high unemployment and lower disposable income with Higher Energy prices. Steve i was paying attention to what was going on down there yesterday. It was clear they are trying to use the Trayvon Martin death as a rallying cry for change. When you look at it, do you see this as a racese . No. It wasnt. Because theyre both minorities, first of all. You had the media and those on the left who injected race into this issue early on when in fact its been decided by the f. B. I. With their investigation plus with the ruling that he was not a racist. This is a horrible tragedy. My heart goes out to the parents of Trayvon Martin. But it was not an issue about race. Steve but when you watch some of the channels or listen to some of the radio or read some of the blog, it was clearly racist, they say. They tried to carry that narrative. At the end of the day this is about the 2014 election coming up. The black vote was extremely important for president obama. Hes losing some of the unions because impair is imploding because impair impair because obamacare is imploding. What we saw at the naacp is a massive Brain Washing session and it is outrageous. Steve thank you. Coming up, terrifying moments in space. An astronaut nearly drowns when water starts leaking inside his helmet. Where did that come from . And what happened next . Weve got details.

Joining us now to explain the story is army veteran ron kelly himself. Good morning to you. Thanks for being with us today. Good morning. Anna essentially this happened back decades and decades ago. It was a minor drug arrest back in North Carolina for marijuana, and you served probation and then you enlisted. Now youre going to walmart to try to buy a gun and what happens . Well, in january of this year i went to the walmart because i was getting a little worried about the restrictive gun laws that are going to be passed. I filled out the online electronic application, and it came back telling me i was delayed for some reason. There are only three categories that you can have in this. You can either be denied. You can either be granted. Or you can be delayed. Anna right. How did this make you feel when you say, you know what . Ive served the country. Ive been firingrom tanks, cannons, guns and now you wont let me have one here on my home soil. How does that make you feel . Its sort of like that thing when you see people standing in line and theyre writing a check and their check comes back and says youve been declined. Your checks no good. Youre standing in line, there are people around you, you get embarrassed because youve been turned down. People automatically assume something bad about you. Anna you tried to make an appeal and it seemed to be falling on deaf ears. But because of this media attention, what is the f. B. I. Doing for you now . Well, the f. B. I. Sent a Houston Chronicle reporter who broke the store in houston got an email from the f. B. I. And they forwarded it to me. Basically what it said is, wow, we didnt know this record you had back in durham, North Carolina, the city Police Department cant even find it anymore, and we think that if you contact us, we can review your case and find a resolution. Pretty much a cover your you know what type of thing. Anna initially, you wanted the f. B. I. To give you a waiver. But youre thinking this could be happening to more people. So whats your ultimate goal now . Actually i do know its happening to other people. I read and i hate to give a spiel for this, but i read glenn becks the blaze, and he quotes two other people where the same kind of thing has happened to. So i know its happened to a bunch of people. And i know that the f. B. I. Is doing this. This may have been with the thank you so much for your time today.

So not ideal for a bedroom. Steve this goes for 320. The next one. This is a mini version of the frigidair, 170. About half as much and half as powerful. 6,000 btus. Better off in a bedroom. Its quieter. It will give you 400 square feet of cooling power. So any good size bedroom youll be fine with this model. Steve just 170 bucks . Yes. These are all cr best buys. Midsize and this will cool the air. Steve here is one from lg. A midsize category. 400 square feet. Again, a bedroom, a smallish living room. 170 as well. Its got 6,000 btus. So similar to the frigidair in terms of the cooling air. Did very well in our brownout test, where we lower the voltage. Some models conk out. This kept its cool. This is good not just for cooling, but moisture removal . Yes. A good ac will keep the air dry while cooling it. Steve this is 220 bucks. The final kenmore, 170. Look at that. Just over 40. So youll have no trouble putting it in and out. At least 300 square feet. Any bedroom, very quiet. It wont keep you up at night. Steve if you want more information, go to consumerreports. Com. Install it correctly. The left side is better, right . Some distribute air better to the right. Consumer reports will tell which you ones. Steve thank you very much. Thank you. Steve lets go inside where its actually warmer than it is outside here standing next to the air conditioner. Anna ive got ice cold water for both of you.

Im anna kooiman in for gretchen carlson. Attorney general eric holder says the zimmerman case shows racism is still alive and now its time to change the law . Its time to question laws that expand the concept of selfdefense and so dangerous concepts in our neighborhood. Anna can selfdefense be against the law . We report. You decide. Brian then this cover shot is usually reserved for rock stars. This time its the boston bomber on the front of Rolling Stone. Your emails pouring in. They just trying to sell a magazine or really believe hes cover worthy . Steve probably both. And talk about a mans best friend. This pup sticking by his owners side, even in midair. This looks like something anna would do with baxter. They stopped by with their story. Fox friends hour two for wednesday starts right now. Steve i have a personal question. When youre at work, do you turn on the tv at home so the dog can watch it . Anna hes listening to me right now. Hey baxter bear. Steve shes not kidding anna he watches every day. Steve animals love television. Anna i keep the ac on for him. Brian every two years, steve does ask animals to send him pictures and they do. We get a loft pictures of pets watching our show. Anna you know whats really sick . Remember it when was take your dog to workday. Steve and you did. Anna yeah. Hes been on the show a couple of times. We watched it on tv. Steve together . Anna yes. Steve have you ever come back home and hes watching it by minimum self . Brian right. That would be the crazy thing. Anna no. Brian how do you hit rewind on this thing, mom. Steve weve got a great story about a hang gliding dog. Its great to have you here for gretch. Anna thanks. Here are the headlines on this wednesday. This is new overnight. A victory in the war on terror. Number two leader of alqaeda in yemen dead after an american drone strike. Security officials in yemen say he died from he suffered in a strike last november. He was a former detainee at Guantanamo Bay. He reportedly survived another drone strike last september. And a live look from italy now where the trial for the captain of a Costa Concordia trial was delayed. Hes expected to make a new request for a plea bargain. He risked up to 20 years behind bars if found guilty of charges of manslaughter, abandoning ship and causing the ship wreck. A cocktail in booze killed Cory Monteith, that according to the coroner. The star overdosed less than three months after finishing a stint in drug rehab. New reports claim the 31yearold was living two separate lives. Sources saying he never showed up to the set under the influence of drugs or alcohol, but when he went home to vancouver, drugs and booze were always part of his life. Shoppers at a supermarket getting a shock when a woman was struck by lightning. It happened as she was in the checkout line paying for her groceries. Steve what . Stinging, burning. My eyes were burning. It was something i never experienced ever, ever in my life. Anna meteorologists are calling the event a one in a million occurrence. The strike came through the buildings roof, traveled along the stores Sprinkler System and then struck a metal plate on the floor where she was standing. Those are your headlines. Steve just another good reason not to go shopping again. Brian another good reason. Yesterday we told you about how youre being surveilled wherever you go and what aisles you spend time in. The Justice Department wading deeper into the George Zimmerman case in many respects. Eric holder now calling for a National Review on the stand your ground laws. Peter doocy live in washington with the attorney generals message yesterday. And brian, the way the attorney general sees it, people who feel like their lives are being threatened should only be allowed to kill an attacker under the law if no safe retreat is possible. Thats what holder told the crowd at the Naacp Convention in florida yesterday. He also said he thinks stand your ground laws like the one in florida just gives people an excuse to be violent. Perhaps encouraging violent situations to escalate in public. Such laws undermine public safety. The list of resulting tragedies is long and unfortunately has victimized too many who are innocent. A Million People have now signed an naacp petition urging the doj to seek federal charges against George Zimmerman. Over the weekend the Justice Department announced they were investigating to see if George Zimmerman ever violated Trayvon Martins civil rights. But his brother, robert, told us yesterday he doesnt think the attorney general has much of a case here. I think eric holder is being pressured by some groups who are calling for initially just an arrest. These same groups keep moving around the goal post. The naacp, al sharpton, rainbow push coalition. First they want add simple arrest and thats it. And have his fair day in court and whatever the verdict is, well respect it. Four of the zimmerman jurors who have not yet given anonymous interviews issued a statement asking for privacy and saying the death of Trayvon Martin weighed heavily on their hearts, but in the end, they did what the law required them to do and one final point, it is important to remember that the state of florida versus George Zimmerman was not a case that hinged on stand your ground. The defense never asked for the case to be dismissed on those grounds, although the arguments all did center on whether or not zimmerman was right to defend himself. Back to you. Steve all right. Peter, thank you very much for that. Also the brother yesterday talking to i believe breitbart. Com when he found out about how the department of justice was soliciting the public for information that might show his brother, george, was a racist, he called it a witch hunt and says the witch hunt has got to stop. Meanwhile, you watch the channels at night and you see a lot of people saying his death was racially motivated. There is a great column at slate. Com written bay fellow named William Slaton and the title of it is you are not Trayvon Martin. His death wasnt about race or guns or your pet issue. It was about misjudgment and overreaction. Exactly what were doing now to the verdict. That was the title of the piece. Anna thats right. Here is an excerpt. It said yesterday i was going to write that zimmerman pursued martin against police wishes but i hadnt followed the case so i sat down and watched the closing arguments, near sleep hours of video. It turned out i had been wrong about many things, the initial portrait of zimmerman as a racist wasnt just exaggerated, it was completely unsubstantiated. Steve thats right. Brian shortly dr. Ben carson will weigh in and well get his opinion. Quick thing that the daily caller points out today, that black floridians made a third of the states total stand your ground claims, we understand, in homicide cases. It is double the black percentage of floridas population. The majority of those claims have been successful. Success rates that exceeds that for florida, whites. So upon drilling down on the stand your ground in florida anyway t seems as though the attorney general would benefit from those facts. Steve meanwhile, after those six women in the jury room found George Zimmerman not guilty of murder, a number of celebrities outraged. Stevie wonder made it very clear he will never go to florida again as long as they have a stand your ground law there. He said he wont perform in any other state with the stand your ground law, which could actually limit his appearances in the United States of america because right now about 30 states have stand your ground laws on the books. Anna this is interesting because the attorneys for George Zimmerman did not use that in his defense. They claimed selfdefense. They did not claim this because they claim he didnt have an opportunity to flee from the scene. But a lot of starlets and stars are coming out on this. Rihanna, Kim Kardashian coming to twitter saying Trayvon Martin hash tag no justice. She had this tweet she put out there and of course, youll remember who her father is. There has been some backlash. It says thoughts and prayers being sent their way. Hash tag, no justice. Steve and then another one, to Kim Kardashian, how ironic. Remember when your father helped o. J. Simpson walk free . No justice there either. Of course, her father, robert kardashian. There he is right there with the defense team before o. J. Simpson was exonerated in the murder of his exwife and ron goldman. Brian by the way, in an interview, Kim Kardashian said, i dont know if o. J. Simpson is innocent like my dads defense team. He was a member of the defense team, then couldnt be questioned because the whole thing was blood evidence and o. J. Being there. Steve why is Kim Kardashian famous, aside from her father. Anna come on. You love her, hate her. Shes made a lot of money. Steve she certainly has. All right. Lets talk about brian ike ian. He made a loft money off his money. Steve i hope there is no porn tape. Brian we dont know. There is so much sketches. Steve he would probably be standing up if there was. Thats a whole nother story. Anna moving on. Steve house of representatives later today is going to vote on perhaps obamacare delays. Remember the administration announced now a couple of weeks ago that there would be a delay in the businessmandate. Brian july 3 and 35. But no one is paying attention. Steve a document dump saying businesses would not be required to provide insurance for a year, give people a break. So the house will say, its not fair just to give the break to businesses. You should give them to individuals as well. Anna right. Jay carney is still spinning this thing that this has nothing to do with Companies Hiring or firing. Take a listen to him. What i can say is that the data reflects there is not support for the proposition that businesses are not hiring full time employees because of the Affordable Care act. Steve contrary, mr. Carney. The data does reflect that businesses are not hiring. In fact, take a look at this brandnew poll from the u. S. Chamber of commerce. Small businesses ready for obamacare . No. 74 of them will fire workers or cut their hours because of obamacare. 61 , a majority, do not have plans to hire anybody next year because of obamacare. So if mr. Carney would like to go to the podium later today at the white house and amend his comments, it would be appreciated. Anna right. All these Business Owners are trying to make decisions and sitting on their hands waiting to make decisions because they dont know how things are going to be turning out for them. Brian 12 minutes after the hour. Here is whats straight ahead only on this show, unless someone has our same run down. Should the United States boycott the olympics in moscow if they grant asylum to ed snowden . We just report. You decide. Also whether hes a whistle blower or not. Anna and then dont try this at home, kids. A diver with a knife free has giant whale. Hes going to be joining us live to tell us what the heck he was thinking coming up. Brian who hasnt done that what makes your family smile . Backflips and cartwheels. Love, warmth. Here, try this. Backflips and camm, ok s. Ching i like the fact that theres lots of different tastes going on. Mmmm breakfast im very impressed. This is a great cereal honey bunches of oats. I hear you crunching.

So you can spend less time doing paperwork. And more time doing paperwork. Ink from cha. So you can. Steve the zimmerman verdict sent the nation and the media into a frenzy with both sides vying for air time to analyze the trial and what the verdict meant overall. Eric holder yesterday in orlando saying this about the Justice Departments investigation. As we move forward together, i want to assure you that the department of justice will continue to act in a manner that is consistent with the backs facts and the law. We will not be afraid. We are committed [ applause ] we are committed to doing Everything Possible to insure that in every case, in every circumstance and in every community, justice must be done. Steve so what will the department of justice do with the information they collect on mr. Zimmerman . According to my next guest, nothing. Joining us retama is dr. Ben carson, columnist for the Washington Times and former director of pediatric neuro surgery at john hopkins hospital. Good morning to you n good morning. Steve what do you make of the feed oclock frenzy since the verdict . The media loves this kind of stuff. The ability to whip people up into a frenzy and polarization. But i think it would do us all well to step back and do something that i always suggest before rushing to judgment, put yourself in the place of the individuals involved. Steve good idea. If you look at it from the point of view of trayvon, particularly and i can speak from experience growing up in an inner city, at nighttime somebody is following you, thats usually not a good thing. And you get ready to fight or for flight. Thats basically the survival mechanism. You look at it from zimmermans points of view, youre on duty as a a night watchman in a neighborhood where there has been some crime recently. You see somebody that you dont know walking that late at night or early in the morning, and of course youre going to be a little suspicious. He did the correct thing by calling the police. Perhaps he would have been wise not to have pursued him. But to listen. The other thing we should ask ourselves, is there anything we can learn from these kind of situations . I think if people maybe had tasers who were night watchmen, this kind of situation simply wouldnt occur. Steve yeah. We need to be saying whack can we learn from this rather than aloying ourselves to be whipped knew a frenzy with no evidence from what i can see that this was preplanned or that there was malicious intent. There was an accident. It resulted in an altercation. Unfortunately, mr. Zimmerman happened to have a gun on him. None of us knows what we would do if somebody is getting the best of us in a fight and we have a gun. There are a lot of implications here that need to be talked about. Steve surely. Doctor, do you see what George Zimmerman did as being racially motivated . Well, you always have to go back and look at a persons life. And here is a man who had associated with lots of black people, took a black girl to the prom. I dont see him as being a racist, quite frankly. Thats a term thats perhaps thrown around a little bit too easily and we really should look at all the facts before we start impugning people with that name. And also i think its kind of hilarious that people say hes a white hispanic. Why are we throwing terms like that around . Why dont we call obama a white africanamerican . This is craziness. Why do we get so involved in superficial words when we should be looking much deeper at people and at situations. Steve wise words. But of course as you know, its all part of the feeding frenzy that happens after a big story like this. Dr. Carson, thank you for joining us on one of your retirement days from baltimore today. Thank you. Steve it is exactly 20 minutes after the top of the hour. Coming up, she was headed for the border with nearly a million bucks stashed in the gas stank. Wait tank. Wait until you hear how he was sniffed out. Then. Shes a Gold Medalist and he is a super bowl champ. Whats it like to walk in their shoes . Theyre peeling back the curtains on their lives. Good morning, folks hey did you know that honey nut cheerios has oats that can help lower cholesterol . And it tastes good . Sure does wow. Its the honey, it makes it taste so. Well, would you look at the time. Whats the rush . Be happy. Be healthy. Chantix. Its a nonnicotine pill. I didnt want nicotine to give up nicotine. [ male announcer ] along with support, Chantix Varenicline is proven to help people quit smoking. [ mike ] when i was taking the chantix, it reduced the urge to smoke. [ malennouncer ] some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. If you notice any of these, stop taking chantix and call your doctor right away. Tell your doctor about any history of depression or other Mental Health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix. Dont take chantix if youve had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. If you develop these, stop taking chantix and see your doctor right away as some can be lifethreatening. Tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems, or if you develop new or worse symptoms. Get medical help right away if y have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. Use caution when driving or operating machinery. Common side effects include nausea, trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. It feels wonderful. I dont smoke. I dont smoke. [ male announcer ] ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. Anna grab another cup of coffee. News by the numbers. 750,000. Thats how much money was found stashed in the gas tank of a car. Border agents say the woman was trying to smuggle it to mexico, but was busted by a dog trained to sniff out currency. Next. 55. Thats how many people paid it forward at a drive through in massachusetts. One customer paid for the driver behind her and that kicked off the chain reaction. And finally, 75 million. Thats how much the highest paid actor makes, according to forbes. That actor, robert downey, junior. Channing tatum made 60 million and hugh jackman made 55. Brian you talk about a power couple, Sonya Richards ross, winning gold in the olympics, while her husband aaron ross, nfl star, he took a batcal from the giants for a year, but hes back there. This husband and wife duo now finally teaming up in a reality show. Watch a clip. I know you like the ocean, but after olympic gold, i think its fitting you jump in there with this. Not going to happen. You know what . I dare you to jump in the ocean. If the spirit moves me, then i might do it. I was born to be on land. I wasnt born to be in the water. You cant be this tough nfl player running people over on the field and afraid of the ocean. That has nothing to do with land. Brian what a happy couple. Is that what well see in the reality show . Joining us now, that happy couple, aaron and sonya. Thank you for joining us. Thanks for having us. Brian what are we going to see, aaron . Are we going to see two people just hugging each other all the time . Youre going to see a mixture of everything. Crying, a little excitement, a little hugging, arguing. Brian how hard is it to be an olympic champion with that type of discipline, be a defensive back with the giants and still work on your relationship . Its challenging, but i remember when we dated for three months and i went to the World Championships for about a month. So weve definitely gotten used to the rough schedule, the tough schedule. I think it makes our relationship more special. When were together, we really enjoy the time. Brian aaron, its nonstop, right . When youre with each other, you talk about each others careers, but they never talk about aaron ross without mentioning your wife. Im used to it. At the university of texas, ive been with her since my freshman year. Thats all coach brown talked about was sonya, hell ask about her before we get in a deep conversation. Brian so we put this together. Whose idea was it to bring this to life while youre still in the prime of your athletic careers . This is my idea. This is something i wanted to do for a couple of years. I had to convince my honey. But everyone got on board. It was a great Family Experience. I think the show is awesome. Brian in terms of the relationship, do you think its important to portray a relationship thats not as nutty as some of the housewives and crazy as the kardashians . I think so. We have a really strong bond. Weve been together for ten years now. So i think brian what is the key . What is the key, sonya . The key to our relationship . We put each other first. Any time one of us gets too busy, we always say, hey, hey, dont forget the main person. So we prioritize each other. Brian scenario, 2016, youre training for the summer olympics. Aaron says, i dont want to be alone this summer. Do you say i stay home . The answer is no you know its no. He would every say that super bowl champs dont say stuff like that. Brian he asked me to ask you that. Hes scared of you. [ laughter ] i want to be in episode 7. Thats my goal. Can i be the Friendly Neighbor that comes over and stretches out . Any time. Brian im so glad on behalf of my son, im glad your back with the giants. Make sure he doesnt leave again. Were not leaving. Brian i cant wait for the series. A positive Family Experience up close and personal, just like your neighbors next door who are olympic and super bowl champions. Reminds me of my neighbor, who is a comptroller. Were going to watch you, six episodes done. Begins july 25 at 10 00 oclock. Buy. Thank you. Brian coming up, emails are pouring in on this. Should Rolling Stone be giving the boston bomber the cover . Your reactions next. Then he was hoping to catch a blue fish but westled with a wrestled with a shark instead. This should be on your show [ female announcer ] it balances you. It fills you with energy. And it gives you what you are looking for to live a more natural life. In a convennt two bar pack. This is nature valley. Nature at its most delicious. Crossing an ocean with your body as the motor, it hurts. So my answer was advil. [ male announcer ] paul ridley chose advil. Because nothing is stronger on tough pain. Real people. Real pain. Real relief. Advil. Relief in action. The Guardian Newspaper in england now claims that the leaker Edward Snowden has more damaging documents that will embarrass the u. S. Government. Really . Embarrass. You know we already have something to embarrass the u. S. Government, its called the u. S. Government. Steve it keeps keeping on. Brian putin, if he accepts Edward Snowden, who says ill come there on your terms, its going to be amazing cause he could lose us in the olympics. It will be 1980 all over again. Steve that would be a big mistake. Brian to boycott the olympics . Steve yeah. Brian i think so too. Anna the cover shot is usually reserved for rock stars. But this time its the boston bomber on the front of Rolling Stone. Wsxt reporter katherine is live in boston. Good morning. Good morning. A lot of people here in boston outraged by this. Many of them cant even walk by this area where the marathon finish line is without remembering what happened here on april 15. Now Rolling Stone magazine saying that in their next edition, they will be featuring an article about suspected boston bomber dzhokhar tsarnaev. His picture will be on the cover. The headline says, a bomber, how a popular, promising student was failed by his family, fell into radical islam and became a monster. Thats verbatim. Here a lot of people reacting to this. We spoke with some people. Shear what they said. Take a listen. Its despicable. Hes now going to be the poster boy for all the kids who read magazines. I dont approve. Its not who he is. At least who we think he is. Of course, there has been a Movement Ever since he was arrested. They want to see him out of jail. So far none of those people have been reacting to this. Most of the reaction weve gotten here in boston has just been very, very outraged at the magazine. Ive gotten some tweets. One person saying shaman, Rolling Stone. Another person saying, Rolling Stone is getting the publicity they wanted. But he believes its irresponsible. So people are very, very upset in boston. Live in boston, back to you guys. Steve all right. Thank you. Brian here is what youre saying. Paula says, how would anyone think putting a terrorist on the cover of any magazine in our country. Its disgust, unacceptable. Anna sandy says this, the glamourization of terrorism needs to stop. This does nothing but encourage our youth to participate in such activity. Steve steven says, its like were giving terrorists and criminals a free ride to the top right next to our celebrities. Keep the email coming. Meanwhile, other headlines for you making news a. White man says he was attacked because of the George Zimmerman verdict. Christopher simpson says he was walking home from a friends house in milwaukee when he was jumped. At first it was just one attacker. But then more joined in. Witnesses say they were yelling their support for Trayvon Martin. I think that they seen me and they instantly just rage took over. I get hit from behind and spun around and then i get tackled and knocked to the ground. I just jumped on the guy. Got up before the policeman comes. Steve simpson has a broken hand and injuries to the chest. The attackers ran off before police arrived. Wouldnt that be a hate crime . Brian sounds like it. Anna place for healing turned into an absolute nightmare. A patient sitting up in her hospital bed hit in the stomach by a stray bullet. Doctors immediately operated on the 62yearold woman. Shes expected to be fine. Should be fine. The Medical Center is in a high crime area. Im like wow. Thats the only thing i could say is wow, like, its unbelievable. Very unusual. Kind of shocking. I understand where people would be concerned. Anna kind of shocking. Its possible for bullets to travel for a full mile and still go through the glass. Brian check this out. Incredible video. A man wrestling a 7foot shark off the coast of nantucket. Elliott was fishing when he noticed the shark was biting the catches off his line. So he rushed back to his car and grabbed a heavier reel. He needs a bigger boat. Once the sand shark was on the line, he battled it for 45 minutes. Thats a guy a free afternoon. When it gets close to shore, he charged into the water and grabbed the 200pound shark by the snail. After snapping picture, he released it back into the ocean. Thats a summer for me. Let alone an afternoon. Steve right. Meanwhile. Anna hes not the only one taking on water animals. A man wrestles a whale tangled up in a fishing line and sets it free. Steve pat foster and his first mate, adrien who saved that whale join us now. Captain pat issues so you see this whale struggling and it was an unusual whale that youve never seen before and it was dragging something, right . Thats correct, yes, it was dragging a bunch of commercial fishing gear. Steve you call it commercial fishing gear. It was 20 or 30 lobster traps from where . You were in virginia. Where were the traps from . The commercial bowl had a big md on it, so im assuming from maryland and swam into our water. Anna these are protected species and its something that you dont see every day. What on earth would make you jump in the water, though, with an animal this large and do the right thing by setting him free, and videotaping the whole thing . What made you do that . I felt like it was something that just had to be done. It was horrible to see an animal struggle and suffer like that. He was definitely, you know, in a lot of stress and you could tell that if we didnt do something, she probably would have died. Or if we didnt take action at that time, it wouldnt have turned out too good for her. We just felt like it be done. Brian adrien, is that you that jumped in with a knife and went to work . Yes, sir. Steve and when you got next to this endangered whale s true that you felt that she was kind of looking at you, saying, hmm, help me, or thanks for coming or something . Yeah. I mean i know that sounds kind of corny or cliche. But we watched the whale for 30 minutes while we were topside before i got in the water. She steadily was moving in a pace this a particular direction. So when i got in the water, she did actually slow down when we came facetoface and actually gave me the opportunity to do what i did. As you see her tail kicking off in the distance as i finish cutting the rope, she wasnt moving before that. When i made my dive, she was actually pretty still and gave me that opportunity, which is kind of amazing. But yet it did happen that way. Brian with the damage already done, is it your belief that that whale survived . Oh, yeah. The whale we didnt see it after that and all the gear wasnt being dragged. I think the whale took one big breath and was resting after that. I dont think the normal person should go out there. It was a situation that was rarely unique to us and the opportunity presented itself for adrien to do what he did. But normally we wouldnt try that. Steve plus, its against the law to get close to these animals. You need a permit to get close. Has anybody suggested that you guys are in trouble for doing this . No. There is a little clause in there if hes entangled. But i dont know the details. Im not a fisherman. Not to my knowledge. Brian they would have to get the whale to sign an affidavit and thats not going to happen. We cant even recognize him. Pat and adrian, thanks for sharing your story. Anna were going to hand it out to maria molina taking a look at the weather. Good morning. Hi, good morning. Its day three of our ongoing heat wave. Were expecting the hot temperatures to continue not just in the northeast, but even farther west. South dakota, rapid city, 93 for your high. 94 in kansas city. 97 in the city of memphis. I dont think its the actual temperatures that are a big deal. I think its the heat index values. In memphis, it will feel like 101. It will feel like 97 in cleveland and 98 degrees in chicago and i want to toss it back inside. The heat index value means the temperature and the humidity combined. Thats what it feels like on your skin. Steve it will be a hot day. Good day to stay inside and watch cable tv. Brian and stay inside and toss to your weather person.

One thing is we need a budget and obviously stick to it and not overspend. But one of the big deals that comes up is the credit card. And do i need to take a credit card with me . Do i need to have that in case something happens . Those kinds of things. You can really get in a mess with that because on vacation, you tend to let your foot off the gas a little bit and so put it on a credit card is a big dont. Dont do that. Steve all right. Meanwhile, we do have some email from people. We had one for somebody regarding that. But lets move on to the next one, whether or not you should do it. Mike from texas says, i recently canceled my time share. They continue to withdraw money from my checking account. What can i do to get out of this . Buying a time share, a do or dont . Time share is a dont. 98 dissatisfaction among people who buy time shares. Its a disaster. A lot of people get a little bit of a free vacation or free dinner while theyre on vacation in return they get put in a room until they buy something. Really dumb idea. These things are its a High Pressure thing. You cant get out of them. Youre stuck in them like that email is saying. Theyre very difficult to get rid of once you get in one. Steve i dont know what youre talking about. Weve had one for 20 years. There were a couple of pina coladas before weasands. Steve it does seem they make that hard sell. How do you get out of it if youre in it . Anna some people think that i go to this specific beach every year. Its going to be worth the money. How do you get out of that . You can always a lot cheaper go to the same beach over and over and rent somebody elses time share or condo. Its a lot better deal. Theyre very difficult to get out of. Sometimes you can go back to the original company and pay them to take it back. Some people had some luck selling them on ebay for almost nothing, at least youre out of the maintenance fees going forward. Some people have been donating them to charity. Do not pay one of these List Services to list them because all they do is take your money, list them and never sell. Brian wow. It sounds like a brutal business. Haley from oregon asks this, were going to hawaii for our honeymoon. Should we get travel insurance . Hawaii for the honeymoon is awesome travel insurance is well, a do, a dont, depending on where you are. Its kind of a consider idea. If this piece of travel is very, very expensive for you, you may want to consider it to be travel. If its inexpensive portion of your budget, then i wouldnt go to the expense of the travel insurance. Steve great advice. By the way, are you interested in buying a time share . [ laughter ] anna give him a drink first. I think there is beer and mosquitoes involved. Brian absolutely. Steve its a different kind of pain in the butt. [ laughter ] dave, thank you very much. Anna coming up on fox friends, do you fight to get your kids to go to sleep . Heather nauert says she does. Steve look at that brian is that live . Steve its about 3 00 oclock in the morning at heathers house. [ laughter ] steve then a man and his dog took their friendship to a whole new level. The story behind their sky high level. Meet shadow, the dog, and his owner fly not guilty flying in shortly hey did you know that honey nut cheerios has oats that can help lower cholesterol . And it tastes good . Sure does wow. Its the honey, it makes it taste so. Well, would you look at the time. Whats the rush . Be happy. Be healthy. Whats the rush . In cities like charlotte,ing. Atlanta, and chicago, were revving people up to take a lap around the legendary nascar race track with drivers from the cocacola racing family. Cocacoca family track walks give thousands of race fans the chance to get out, get moving, and have fun. All along the way. Its part of our goal to inspire more than three Million People to rediscover the joy of being active this summer. See the difference all of us can make. Together. Anna his name is shadow and according to his owner, dan, he lives up to that name. Following him almost everywhere and doing everything dan does, including a favorite pastime. You got to come close to the tv ask check this out. They even hang glide together. How did this special service dog learn how to fly the friendly skies . Lets ask dan now who is here with his wife and the famous dog, shadow. Good morning, guys. Thanks for being with us. Good morning. Nice to be here. Good morning. Anna dan, i know youve had an anxiety disorder for quite some time and you had a hard time figuring it out and now shadow helps you do everything. But the one thing that would get you out of it was going hang gliding. But what would happen with shadow when you were up there in the sky . He loved to follow me everywhere. He lives up to his name, shadow. So when id be launching, getting ready to go, he would be right there nipping at my heels. Hes a heeler. It seemed as though he wanted to go and wanted to go flying. I thought, lets see if hes ready for it. We built him a harness and took him flying and he took to it. He loved it. I thought hed either be afraid of it and not chase me anymore or he would like it and not chase me anymore. But yeah, he loves it. He still chases up and down the hill all the time. Anna this is just a trip to look at. How is it the harness work . How do you get him in there and make sure he doesnt squirm out . Well, i really took everything into consideration in that regard because that would be a tragic thing to happen. So the harness wraps around him completely. His legs poke out of two leg holes in it. Its all reinforced so that there is no possibility of him getting out of it backwards, frontwards, rearward. Hes basically in a mummy bag at that point. Then hes strapped on to the hang glider and he kind of likes to hang on to me. Anna i could watch this all day. Does it ever make you nervous having them up there together . Do you ever worry about them . Not at all. No. Those two, they belong together and shadow is totally relaxed at his side and just puts his paws on his arm and they just are totally natural. Anna dan, would you recommend this for the average dog owner, pet lover . It takes a special dog, i think, or a pet lover for one thing. Were just best friends and he wants to be with me everywhere. So you had a dog that was that way, i have taken a friends dog that wanted to go. They had a great time. But yeah. If a person was into hang gliding and its almost like taking your dog in the car. Anna very cool. Just like how they all love to hang their head out the window with their tongue sticking out. Absolutely. Anna thank you so much for your time today. Have a great wednesday. Thank you so much. Anna thank you so much. 56 minutes after the hour now. Coming up, bill oreilly making a stop on the curvy couch. He has a message for the attorney general eric holder.

Steve meanwhile, Kim Kardashian under attack for her comments on the zimmerman verdict. What she said and reaction from the king of cable, bill oreilly, within the half hour. Brian all right.

Can you pick him out . Look in the back row. Look fourth from the left. There is Brian Kilmeade. Whats extraordinary is your university has some sort of closed archives where one of the coaches presented with you your jersey from back then. Brian what about honesty with me . I gave my uniform back. Anna photos only in black and white. Brian thats my coach on the corner. Thats my sophomore year. I couldnt grow facial hair til three years later. They gave me a very nice award. Anna the award was for everything that youve achieved professionally as well. Brian right. Anna when you first told me about it, i said whats it for. Brian he said well, this little thing called fox friends, i have a radio show. Brian youre filling in for gretchen and we have one one left. Anna here is your wednesday morning headlines. Hes been rumored dead more than anybody else. Were talking about alqaedas number two man in yemen this morning. Confirmation he is dead. American drone strike last november took him out. He was a former detainee at Guantanamo Bay and he reportedly survived another drone strike last september. Happening today on capitol hill, in less than two hours, the nations Intelligence Community will be grilled over the nsa spying scandal. The witnesses include nsa Deputy Director and attorney general james cole. This happens weeks after snowden revealed nsa conducts surveillance on americans emails and phone records. A deadly cocktail killed Cory Monteith. The glow star overdosed less than three months after finishing a stint in drug rehab. New reports claim the 31yearold was living two separate lives. Sources say he never showed up to the set under the influence of drugs or alcohol, but when he went home to vancouver, drugs and booze were always part of his life. The state of new jersey cutting off disability pay for a former cop turned reality star. He stars as a repo man chasing down drivers on bare swamp recovery. One problem . He was collecting almost 70,000 a year for a leg injury and declared permanently disabled. The Police Retirement declared him fit to return to work and stopped his pension payments. You think . Steve he looks okay there. Lets talk about this. Eric holder yesterday before the Naacp Convention in orlando, florida, so far what we heard of the trial of George Zimmerman, no racism involved. And we heard from juror number b37, i think that was her designation yesterday. Racism had nothing to do with it. And yet youve got the attorney general of the United States talking about how this is a racist nation, how when he was growing up, he was pulled over twice on the new jersey turnpike. He also was profiled in georgetown because he was running through that part of washington, d. C. At night. And then he told a personal story about how when he was younger, his father, because he was living in a racist nation, his father from barbados said whenever youre around the cops, be careful. Here is the attorney general. Trayvons death last spring caused me to sit down v a conversation with my own 15yearold son, like my dad did with me. This was a fatherson tradition i hoped would not need to be handed down. I am his father and it is my responsibility not to burden him with the baggage of eras long gone, but make him aware of the world that he must still confront. Its time to question laws that senselessly expand the concept of selfdefense and so dangerous cons look in our neighborhood. Brian he chose to focus on stand your ground. The president chose to focus early on on guns. Stand your ground evidently did not, if you look at the court case, did not come into play in this case in particular. Number one. If you think about it in the big picture, to give think scenario, an africanamerican 17yearold is in a neighborhood doing nothing wrong with nothing on him ends up dead. Somebody is to blame. But if you watch the case day by day and you watch it play out and see the scenario, then understand how possibly understand how the court case came out the way it did. And now all of a sudden people are going, well, im going to pull back from that case and go back to my original thought before i got details. Race is involved. Some arent having it. Some of the Africanamerican Community arent having it and they sounded off. Lets listen. When we continue to have people that are saying racial profiling, racial profiling, then if you continue to keep that phrase going on, then people will believe it. Thats where the media comes in. That jury was absolutely correct as a lawyer. I dont want to mention any names, telling people im holding my black children tighter tonight. No theyre not theyre not at all because zimmerman was tried. He was found innocent in these charges and that woman who said god is a racist, its embarrassing for me as an africanamerican to hear juan williams, msnbc, cnn talk about this case as a race case the facts were decided correctly on this case. Dont try to say that this case was wrong and dont use this case as a race case unless youre trying to hustle people to make money im sick of this steve leo was talking about there, he mentioned in one place the woman who said that god is a racist. Its actually comments from a university of pennsylvania professor who said that god is a white racist, given the verdict in the zimmerman case. Brian by the way, leo also orders on drive through the same way with the same tone. Ive never seen him hes always on the edge of his seat. Anna there are a lot of africanamericans ive spoken with who automatic friends with who feel like their race has been slighted in this and believe that in their hearts and yes, there have been other headlines, whether it be black on white, black on black, crime, whatever it is, they feel like this is different because trayvon was unarmed. He had skittles and an iced tea in his hand. Just happened to be wearing a hoody and they believe he was targeted just because the color of his skin. Its something that theyre having a hard time forgetting about. However, if you do listen to the seven hours of closing arguments, you may start to realize that in this case in particular, George Zimmerman does not appear at all to be a racist. Brian even talk to his ex girlfriends. Steve in fact, thats what the f. B. I. Said. They talked to about 30 people. They couldnt find any evidence of it. Were going to talk about race with bill oreilly who is going to be joining us 20 minutes from right now. There is the king of cable right there. Brian he doesnt have to get up until 2. So this is great to get up early. Steve meanwhile, lets tell you the story about an army vet, ron kelly, served this nation proudly, retired from the army back in 1993. It was estimated he had fired close to 100,000 rounds of government ammo during his life serving in the u. S. Military. So recently he went in to a walmart to buy a gun and he was declined because 42 years ago in high school, he was caught with a bag of pot. He served probation, never served a single day in jail. Anna i talked to him. Lets hear from him earlier this morning. I was getting a little worried about the restrictive gun laws that were going to be passed and i filled out the online electronic application and it came back telling me i was delayed for some reason. Its sort of like that thing when you see people stand in line and they are writing a check and it comes back the check is declined. Youre standing this in line, there are people around you. You get embarrassed because youve been turned down. I know its happened to a bunch of people. I know that the f. B. I. Is doing this wrong. This law may have been with the best intentions, but theyve messed it up really bad. Anna its so wild. It was a pot bust that happened when he was in high School Decades and decades ago. This guy is fired from tanks, cannons and guns and now he cant own his own firearm. The f. B. I. Said theyre going to do this expeditiously and he should contact them for an appeal and this and that. But now hes saying, this has happened to so many other people, some sort of law needs to change. Brian right. Steve lets see. Brian to change gears. I heard it was hot outside. We refused to go out as anchors. So we did the next best thing, we sent maria out. Is it true its hot . Yes. It is true, taas very hot. Actually i found the culprit to the heat weve been experiencing in new york city. We have a family right here from tampa, florida. You guys brought the heat from florida up with you. So how much different is this been feeling . Youve been here since monday, thats when our heat wave started. Thanks a lot. How different is this compared to what florida feels like . Not very much. Its very humid, very hot. So were expecting the hot temperatures to continue at least through friday out here in new york city. Keep that in mind as you go around new york city. Stay safe and hydrated and again, were expecting the hot temperatures to continue for several more days. By the time we head into saturday, well begin to see some changes across the northeast. First, what temperatures are we expecting today . 97 in memphis. 94 in kansas city. 92 in new york city. The temperatures arent really the big story. The problem is when you factor in the humidity, it feels so much mortgage, like in chicago, 98 degrees for your high. Your heat index. 101 in parts of tennessee. Incredibly hot out here. All thanks to a High Pressure system thats been sitting in place producing a lot of sunshine, a lot of humidity and take a look at friday and also into saturday. A cold front finally moves through. It will be producing some thunderstorms. There is a potential for Severe Weather already several days out. Thats coming up on friday and saturday across parts of the great lakes and also the northeast. Back inside, steve, an anna. Steve we have a question for you, maria. Were you just blaming one of our viewers for bringing this National Heat wave . Thats what can kind of sounded like. Im look for someone to blame. Steve as we all are. Anna new york just stops. Steve and its summer. Thats where you go to stay cool. Brian i blame whoever decided to rotate the earth. Right . If were not rotating fast enough, that explains why its so hot for so long. Got to pick up the speed, axis. Steve if it stopped spinning, well fall off the earth. Anna 12 minutes after the hour. Coming up on fox friends, eric holder looking to get rid of the stand your ground law. So is selfdefense about to become a crime . Peter johnson, jr. Is on the case next. Steve then forget just tossing the bouquet. How about tossing the bride [ laughter ] i do ill just press this, and youll save on both. Ding ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, llllets get ready to bundlllllle. [ holding final syllable ] oh, yeah, sorry lets get ready to bundle and save. Now, thats progressive. Oh, i think i broke my spleen Home Insurance provided and serviced by third party insurers.

And it gives you what you are looking for to live a more natural life. In a convennt two bar pack. This is nature valley. Nature at its most delicious. Brian regardless of who started the fight between George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin, everyone in florida has the legal right to use deadly force if their life is in danger. In the wake of last weeks not guilty verdict, eric holder wants to change that. Its time to question laws that senselessly expand the concept of selfdefense and so dangerous cons in our neighborhood. Unfortunately, has victimized too many who are innocent. It is our collective obligation. We must stand our ground. Brian can they really consider that selfdefense . Can selfdefense be considered a crime then . Joining us right now to weigh in, peter johnson, jr. Stand your ground, 30 states say thats okay with me. 30 states say its okay. It allows people to stand their ground. There is no obligation to retreat in the face of serious bodily harm or a risk of death. And it didnt even become an issue in terms of this case. That was not the defense in the zimmerman case. The defense was straight justify final homicide based on selfdefense. There was no ability to retreat based on the evidence in the case for George Zimmerman who said he was down on the ground mma style being pummeled and that mr. Martin went for his gun, his lawful hand gun and then he fired it as a result. But what were seeing with mr. Holder is really a grand distraction. What were seeing is an effort to distract americans of all colors from the real issues that cause violence in this country is high unemployment. Particularly high unemployment in communities of color. When you have unemployment of 20 or 25 for the last five years, when off sense of hopelessness in our cities, when you have a sense of hopelessness in many of our communities of color, when there is no ability to move ahead based on a lack of jobs that have been created by this federal government, then you say okay. The real risk that you have, Africanamerican Community, is white folks engaging in lawful murder. And it sets a tone in our country thats divisive, thats confrontational and that in the end, unfortunately, leads to violence between groups, intergroup violence. Brian i listened to a lot of the naacp speech yesterday to read between the lines. They were talking about stand your ground or not a retrial. Do you think in the end the feds are not going to retry this case . They might. Oh, i brian you think they might . Even though the evidence shows there is no racial animus. Its a phony issue. The feds should be staying out of state law. Issues they have no place in it. Eric holder should be saying is, lets talk about the verdict. Lets talk about the rule of law. But most of all, lets respect it. Not lets gin it up under the giise of bringing people together. This is not bringing people together and its not constructive. Absolutely not. Brian it will be interesting whats happening tomorrow. This is not going away. Peter johnson, jr. , thanks so much. Thank you. Brian 20 minutes after the hour. Kim kardashian and Stevie Wonder have something in common. Theyve been slammed for what theyre saying about the zimmerman verdict. What they said and reaction from bill oreilly who ive met coming up.

And new developments overnight on the seized north korean ship carrying missile equipment. Cuba says the materials were, quote, obsolete weapons that needed repairs. Brian exactly. Steve good one. Why did they hide it under thousands of stabs of sugar . Huh, cuba . Brian everyone knows you mix a missile with brown sugar. Anybody knows the business. Steve thats the news. Brian if youre like every other parent in america, bedtime could mean battle time. But when it comes to kids getting enough sleep is more important than you can imagine. Anna Research Shows 25 of children dont go the recommended amount of sleep for their kids. How can you get them to go to bed without the stress and hassle . Heather inaugurate took the challenge. We had a hey day with this video. Yeah. Its no easy task trying to get any kids to bed, let alone toddlers. My kids use every trick in the book. Its tantrum, i got to feed the fish. I want one more book. Brian we dont have fish. It comes out of nowhere. Exactly. But i did find a couple of tips that will hopefully help you. Take a look here. Like all parents, i love my kids. And i want to be with them every second of the day. Except maybe when you getting sleepy . No. Its time to get them to bed. This process has taken close to 40 minutes. Weve had two books, three songs and ive had to put him back in his crib twice and three times actually. Hes still crying. The struggle to get kids to sleep with be a bit of a laughing matter. But the facts the kids need to sleep is no joke. A study found sleep can seriously affect a childs brain power and that inconsistent bed times can impact cognitive ability. Its now about 8 30 at night and we just got him to bed. My youngest son has been crying for over an hour. So finally i had to close the door and let him cry it out. But as any mom would know, you just feel so awful doing that. Hearing your kid scream and cry for you and then yet not going in to get them. So i need some help. There comes a time when professional help is needed. Enter laurie, aka the toy insider mom who knows how to parent and has the products to prove it. We went to byebye baby to check them out. One thing thats key is getting your kids room quiet or house quiet enough for them to go to sleep. Hard when you got dogs or a neighborhood. Or if your children are still up making noise. Exactly. You got a possible solution. I do. Basically we have white noise. Shut the door, shut the window, put this on. Its a soothing sound. Every parent needs a good baby monitor. Were going to talk about the angel care. Sound and movement monitor. Its really great when you have an infant because there is a sensor pad right here that goes under the mattress. And detects babys movement. There is video on this and there is actually this twoway talk feature. So not only can you hear your children when theyre not going to sleep, but you can talk to them and say okay, boys. I. I love that idea because you can say, get back into bed right now. Dont make mommy get up. Or no cartoons tomorrow. Thats a relief. Now when i hear this crying , ill be able to see whats going on in there. But what about parents on the go . This is the journey bee by parent lab. Its so portable. And lightweight. You can take it on an airplane. It goes in the carry bag. Let me show you how quickly you can open this.

You remember pack and play from when you had kids and they take forever. Its tougher than obamacare. And this thing, that product i showed you, journey bee, that thing is awesome. It pops right open. Steve the problem at your house is you have to go to bed before your kids. We all go to bed together. Were all in our pajamas together, 6 30 at night. Im like, you have to go to bed because mommy has to go to bed. They dont care. Brian tell your kids, have the courage to tell your kids, no more coffee. [ laughter ] and theyll understand and go to bed. No coffee in the nipple. [ laughter ] steve thank you, dr. Spock. Brian just telling you. Trying to help parents. Steve heather, good job.

Anna a couple that laughs together, stays together of the i believe that. Thats a great picture. This is awesome. Steve that is nuts. Brian bungee equals happiness. Anna we have some headlines. Brian her tone makes me think i should read. Nasa trying to figure out how an astronaut nearly drowned in space. My head is wet and i am feeling it. Brian about an hour into a repair mission, an italian astronaut noticed water pooling in the back of his head. It start getting into his eyes and keeping him from hearing. Youre in a fish bowl, so stick your head in a fish bowl and try to walk around. Thats not anything you take lightly and certainly its dangerous already. He did a great job just keeping calm and cool. Brian the astronaut is okay. About a quart of water leaked into his helmet which is believed to have come from the cooling system. If he stayed out there, he could have drowned. Anna talk about tears of joy. Look what happens at the exact moment a sixyearold finds out his father is coming home from afghanistan. Daddy is coming home. crying anna tears of joy. He breaks into tears when he hears his dad. Frank greg will be home from afghanistan in minutes. His dad has been deployed overseas some 12 times. Despite the tears, keegan and his fouryearold brother made welcome home signs and then headed outside to welcome their dad home. Steve meanwhile, you could call it up with of the worst proposals ever. A comedian guy pops the question to his girlfriend after having a Police Officer pretend to arrest his girlfriend. Right now saved me over 2,000 or 30 days in jail. Could we have an agreement where we agree to waive the fine, let you go, if you take his hand in marriage. Oh, my god anna thats cruel. Brian terrible. Steve relieved and overwhelmed, the girlfriend said yes. The couple entered the proposal in a Radio Station contest in hopes of winning 20,000. Winner not yet selected. Its amazing that she would say yes after that. Brian cruel joke steve joining us is bill oreilly. Good morning. Here i am. Steve how are you . Brian cruel or not . Ridiculous. Ridiculous. Anna what about the bride and the sling shot, that was all right . I loved that. I want to do that myself. Steve lets talk a i know last night your lead story was all about the Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman case. What did you make of attorney generic holder at the naacp calling for, okay, we havent found racism involved in the case yet b. Were going to try to change the law. He doesnt like the law. You know, holder is more of an activist than a Law Enforcement official. At this point i think everybody would agree with that. Hes got an agenda. He doesnt like the law. He has a right to say it, but not a right to interfere in florida politics. Thats for sure. Brian you asked him to come o. He came on to his credit. He thinks that society, American Society is targeting the black male. Absolutely. And this is he sincerely believes that and youre not going to change his mind. He believes that black males are persecuted and singled out for scorn and scrutiny and im saying to him, listen, you know, there is a reason why these things happen. Its not always justifiable. We have to be honest about the history in this country of race relations. But now i mean, the evidence is the evidence. You know. You cant use past historical injustice to complain about a verdict that was clearly a fair clearly a fair trial. He said it was a fair trial. Then they hedge, this could have been happening. And im saying to myself, listen, problems are problems. You got to solve them. Im sorry that Trayvon Martin is dead and im sorry his family has to go through this hell. And it should have never happened. But you dont convict a guy of murder unless you have overwhelming evidence that hes guilty and they didnt, period anna are you sympathetic to their viewpoint at all . Sure i am. Of course im sympathetic to it. If you lose a child, that is the worst thing that can happen to parents on earth. Of course im sympathetic to it. Steve earlier on the program we had a black conservative and a Fox News Contributor. She was weighing in on the Naacp Convention. She and her husband tried to get in and speak. They would not allow it. She says theyve got an agenda that seems to essentially want to keep blacks as victims. Here is the sound bite and bills reaction. Thats what the naacp and the rest of the black liberal establishment does not want the black community to hear. They want blacks to be victims and to think that there is racism and they cant get ahead and really its a lie. They continue to push the same message of moving people back with the mindset and what they do versus moving people forward. Steve what do you think . I think its true. Its an industry and the grievance industry. Thats what i call it. There is a lot of money in it and power in it. So why are the naacp i think they should be watchdogs and looking out for their crew. But theyre not going to basically say okay. Yeah, were going to hear another point of view and we want to see this because its a business. Theyre in business. Thats what they do. Thats how they get paid. Same thing with the liberal commentators and the main stream media. Theyre never going to go against who they believe their audience is. And the right does this as well. But not as much. So you got to understand that there is a grievance industry and that industry is going to kick in whenever there is a minority controversy. Steve so as long as according to the f. B. I. , no instances of racism in they investigated and they came to the conclusion there wasnt anything there. Steve during the court case, no evidence of racism. Yet, a lot of channel, theyre talk being look at this terrible racist country were living in and George Zimmerman, exhibit a. And the people who do that are dishonest. Flat out dishonest. Anna a lot of celebrities could be coming out, outraged about this. From rihanna, Stevie Wonder saying he wont be perform not guilty florida. And why do you think theyre doing that . Because they want to sell product to people who feel that way. Anna a lot of people say the liberal media is doing the same thing. Of course. Its all business. As i said last night on talking points memo, its bad for business to go against your crew. If the minority crew believes this was an injustice, a guy like Stevie Wonder or rihanna or whoever it is isnt going to say youre wrong. Its bad for business they dont know what happened. Steve but what about the fact that Stevie Wonder says im not going to go perform in any state where they have stand your ground laws. I dont know how much demand steve gee in right now. Brian right. Anna hes all in demand, come on. Genius. But i dont know if were going to miss him. Brian right. But its his right. If he feels that strongly about it, dont perform there. I dont have any beef with Stevie Wonder. I do have a beef with people who are dishonest and playing to a certain sentiment to make money. Thats what its all about. Anna do you think people are hypocritical, too . Kim kardashian coming out on twitter saying, my heart goes out to Trayvon Martins family and loved ones. Thoughts and families being sent their way. Hash tag, no justice. But then on the flip side, a lot of people are coming out saying this. Steve somebody else tweeted, someone who watches your show, says how ironic. Remember when your father, Kim Kardashian, helped o. J. Simpson walk free . No justice there either. I think everybody takes Kim Kardashian very seriously. [ laughter ] you know, again, this is frustrating to those of us who want a fair play. All right, because the media isnt fair and its all about the money. Its all about the money. Its not about Trayvon Martin. Its about the money. And then the politicians use the poor boys death to push gun control or whatever they want to push. So Trayvon Martin is being exploited now. Theyre exploiting him and its wrong. And been doing this for the last column. Were going to call them out. Brian now you also have you have two books, both best sellers killing kennedy and keep it pithy. Who are you rooting for . Keep it pithy is a cool pilings of what compilatinon of what ive said over the years. And killing kennedy is just killing kennedy. Its a phenomenon. Kennedys last days is the kid book. And i want everybody to lock in on that. Its a beautiful book. It will arrest the attention of even the dimmest you work rchins. If you want to get them involved in history, check out that book. Anna as we go, can we see keep it pithy . Like this . Thats the only time youll ever see that on the fox news channel. Brian if i asked steve you need a beach book . Check out one of them. Thank you. All right, nice to see you. Steve next, were off to london looking for a baby. Beth good morning to you. All eyes on london as the world awaits the arrival of the royal baby. So what happens when the baby actually comes . Steve Martha Mccallum is live on royal baby watch in london on the banks of the thames. All right, tell us the very latest on this kid. You know, waiting for a baby is one of those things, right . Ive done it myself three times. Everybody wants to know when its coming, when are you going to have the baby . There isnt much you can do about it short of being induced, which i dont think were in that territory yet for the duchess of cambridge. Lets look at sort of the different maps that may come into play here once we do get the word that the royal baby is on the way. The first one we want to show you is what it would look like from buckle berry, which is where her parents live. Theyve got a nice spread there. They have air conditioning, im told, which is something they do not have at lovely kensington where she was staying before that. So shell go from buckleberry, about 50 miles into the city here to Saint Marys Hospital where Prince William and prince harry were born where you see some of the reporters there. The other route would be if she does come back and she stays at notingham cottage, which is a two bedroom cottage at kensington while waiting for the bigger digs to be renovated that, will happen in the fall, she would go from there just a couple of miles across hyde park over to the hospital from that location. Then once the baby is born, they will notify everybody by putting an easel, very oldfashioned, in front of Buckingham Palace and it will have the babys weight and the babys gender. Not necessarily the name. The name could come days, weeks later. But my guess is that theyre going to name this baby right away because they know that people have been waiting for this for a long time. Im pretty sure theyve got the name picked out. Steve they probably do. Brian how disappointed are they that the kardashians picked north west. Thats kind of a disappointment. Im sure they spent a lot of time pondering that, brian. But when you take a look at this, the succession and what will happen next. So this puts Prince Charles obviously is next in line after Queen Elizabeth, and then you have Prince William. This baby has got a bit of a wait. But this baby moves automatically, whether a boy or girl, and this is an historic first because Queen Elizabeth changed the law. She thinks if its a girl, it should be in the succession line. This child will be number three. Prince harry gets bumped down another notch to the fourth spot on the succession list. But he says hes perfectly happy. He likes his life, i think. Hes happy to be fourth in line after the baby is born. Brian well count the moments til youre back to the states. Steve shes our own princess. Martha mccallum live from olympian done ten minutes from now here on the fox friends show. Straight ahead, hes accused of blowing up the Boston Marathon finish line. Why is Rolling Stone putting the accused bomber on the cover like a rock star . Your email pouring in. Were going to read some of them coming up.

Good morning to you. Good morning. Steve you got quite a story. In your lifetime, how many children have you raised . Two biological children. Steve and . Weve had 30 young people 18 and up in age come and live with us. Steve who are those 30 other kids . Its really strange. We often get asked where do we find them . Its like we feel god puts them in our lives. We just run across them. Steve sure. Having had three children, raising three children myself, along with my wife, i know that at age 18 when you get a lot of these kids, that could not be a worse time to start with discipline in that department. But thats when they land in your lap, isnt it . Because they come from where . All walks of life. Weve had young people come from homes that are broken, young people come in from single family. Steve and youre pretty much the last stop. You act adds foster parents. Who do you have at your house right now . Right now we have a young man, wilson, that he just got into some financial problems. He actually lived with us early on. His parents went through a kind of a rough divorce and he chose to live with us to stay on track. Steve youre changing his life. Youve changed dozens of peoples lives. Why do you do it . He says why not . Thats his statement. Steve but why not it would be easy to turn away from them. But instead, you open your doors and open your heart and your wallets. Well, we live off the land. We have a garden. We hunt. That helps a lot with the food. So you just learn how to live on a tight budget. Steve i bet. In your lifetime, have you ever been able to save any money, put any money aside while youre raising 30 other kids . Not really. But god is always taking care of us. Weve never gone without a meal and never missed a payment. Steve that is wonderful.
