Demonstrations are taking place in several cities across the country including new york, people me, washington, d. C. And philadelphia where protesters are calling on the Justice Department to consider new criminal charges against the former Neighborhood Watch volunteer. Brian is live in our newsroom with more. Hi, brian. Hi, arthel. There were feef00 Trayvon Martin supporters gathering in downtown new York City Holding skittles and umbrellas and on a hot summer afternoon to speak out about racial profiling and stand your ground laws. Sybrina fulton addressing the crowd a week after a jury found George Zimmerman not guilty of murdering her son. Trayvon is not here to speak for himself. It is very important that parents, god parents, opts, uncles, cousin aunts, uncles, cousins, you speak up for these children. Trayvon was a child. The crowd cheered and prayed. That was the scene across the country as thousands gathered at nearly 100 planned justice for trayvon vigils in front of federal buildings in philadelphia. Hundreds chanted we are one. In washington, d. C. More than 500 listened to speakers urging the Africanamerican Community to use economic boycott. In oakland more than 200 protested as extra police watched. And in miami trayvons father, tracy martin, spoke alongside pass fors. In new york is a woman came from maryland with three generations of her family including two of her young sons. I wanted my kids to understand that you have to fight for what you feel is right. You dont have to get violent. I wanted them to correlate with the time of Martin Luther king and the struggles he went through to set the path for them to sit on the bus. This situation, they didnt want to come, but i made them come. You come and you will feel what their struggle was to get you to where you are today. The vigils were peaceful as organizers promised this was the beginning of a movement. Brian, thank you very much for that report. Arthel, we are getting new reaction from washington over president obamas personal remarks this week about the swremmer man verdict in which he said, quote, Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago. Molly has been following the story and she is now live in washington. Molly . The president said he wanted to give some context about the way of Africanamerican Community is viewing this Trayvon Martin case and the verdict. There are very few africanamerican men in this country who havent had the experience of being followed when they were shopping in a department store. That includes me. There are very few africanamerican men who havent had the experience of walking across the street and hearing the locks click on the doors of cars. That happens to me, at least before i was a senator. Joy one president ial his store one president ial historian says when a president speaks on an issue that hits close to home, they turn out to be significant moments in their presidencies. This was a personal moment for a man who is very much under control and very careful and very calculated as all public figures are and especially president ial public figures. This was a human moment. And it reveals a little about how he feels. But there is also disagreement amoung political strategists about whether this kind of speech helps heal racial divisions or makes them more pronounced. I think it is a great opportunity to talk about Race Relations in this country. It is not that the president was making race an issue. Race is an issue and he was using his own experiences to illustrate that and how we move america forward. The president should never have injected himself to begin with. This had nothing to do with race. The president knows there are demonstrations happening this weekend. And if anything the president incited incited any violence that takes place over this weekend by his comments that race was somehow involved. It is unclear what the Obama Administration will do now regarding the verdict, if anything. The president said yesterday that the jury had spoken and, quote, thats how our system works. Juliette . Molly, thank you. Coming up later in this hour we will get Historical Context on president obamas comments. And we will look at how other leaders handled similar situations in the past and dont forget to tune into fox news sunday. Tomorrow dr. Ben carson and congresswoman Donna Edwards will join Chris Wallace for an exclusive interview about this case. Thats tomorrow only on the fox newschannel. Check your local listings for times. Oh boy, some much needed relief coming to millions of people baking. When i say baking i mean baking in the northeast. After six Straight Days of temperatures soaring into the 90s, the mercury is dropping a few degrees today as a cold front slides through. Really . And now the region is bracing for severe storms. We go live to the fox news weather center. First, i know the storms, that could be serious, but a cold front . Is that stretching it . No, it is going to be a cold front. It is a serious one that will drop temperatures in some cases 20 degrees. Thats the good news. The bad news is that we need to get through some Severe Weather as well. I just want to point out there is a severe thunderstorm watch. This is another batch of storms across the northern and Central Plains we will keep our eye on for the potential of large hail and damaging winds and even isolated tornadoes. And then there is the cold front that is marching across the ohio river valley and the northeast and midatlantic. Ahead of that front thats where the cells are develop expght potential for hail and damaging winds. Isolated tornadoes, not an outbreak here. But we could see some isolated tornadoes. We have all of that warm, unstable air ahead of this cold front. Look at the current temperatures. This tells the story. 91 in new york. 193 in 78 in buffalo. That cold front is significant for the summertime. Looking at your heat index. It is still warm across the i95 corridor. Feels like 95 in boston and close to 100 in dc. It is on the way. It will bring much relief to areas that have been sweltering over the last week. Looking at the next 48 hours, watch this cold front on the move. 68 in detroit overnight tonight. 79 in new york. And then it continues to move southward. 82 in new york. 79 in pittsburgh. It will hang around across the midatlantic. You will see that cooler and dryer air mass for the northeast for much of the workweek. That is great news. Ahead of the front, still heat advisories in affect. Be careful if you are outside. Lots of hydration of course. Try to be indoors with the little ones and check on the elderly. We are calling this sweet heat relief across the midatlantic and northeast where the temperatures will be in the 80s and 70s for boston heading into sunday. This is great news fortunately. Unfortunately we will deal with the Severe Threat throughout the afternoon and in the evening. Again the potential for hail, damaging winds, isolated tornadoes as well. We will keep you posted, but of course, ladies, i am so happy to deliver some good news. It has been a long week. We appreciate that, i tell you what. What was that you said ago . The sweet heat relief . The sweet heat relief, girl friend. All right, i will do it too. All right. As we all know we have been following this story throughout the afternoon and helen thomas who is a trail blazing journalist and Longtime White House reporter who has died at the age of 92. She covered 10 president s over her career and left a major impact. President obama releasing a Statement Today saying helen was a true pioneer, Opening Doors and breaking down barriers for generations of women in journalism. She covered every white house since president kennedys, and during that time she never failed to keep president s, myself included, on their toes. Absolutely no doubt about thomas speaking her mind at news conferences. Take a look at this. People call for openness and transparency. Lets have this discussion at the conclusion of the town hall meeting. How about that . No, no, no. We are having it now. Why do we have to have it now . It is a way of controlling the press. Helen, i find it unfortunate that you use your front row position bestowed upon you by your colleagues to make such statements. You are con testimony few us with instead of contemptible. You are familiar with that, helen. One of the press secretaries grilled by helen is on the phone. Dana pa ri no is the cohost on the five. Sorry i couldnt be there, but i am honored to talk about my time. Interesting the clip you played of me, juliette, that was the only day i ever actually lost my temper with helen. That was actually me losing my temper. From what you can hear from other white house correspondents, they covered it during helen thomas time, you were patient with her. She was the type if she went after a president and press secretary, she really pushed and pushed until she got her answers. It was a lovehate relationship with her. Is that the case . Yes expirks enjoyed my time as press secretary for so many reasons. One was the chance to have the grace and dignity to handle questions like the ones she would throw at you. Oftentimes she would [inaudible] real president s and difficult for somebody to keep their cool. Look at her entire life. Her course of work is absolutely amazing. There were a lot of disagreements with her over the years. And especially as her opinions developed or she became more vocal in expressing her opinions , particularly on israel, a lot of people disagreed. I cant tell you what was in her heart, but i know what is in mine. I will tell you she was one of the first people to ever invite me to one of the big dinners when i was just a Junior Deputy press secretary. She gave me encouragement. She told me she thought i was trustworthy. And i worked hard not to lose that trust. She earned that seat in the briefing room. Again, a lot of disagreements about some of the things she said, but over time, i think you look at the course of her lifes work and she is an amazing person. I had just thought of her the other day and wondered how she was doing. My husband and i used to go to dinner with her at mama ieshas and she would charm us for hours. You talk about and everybody talks about how she is an iconic figure, especially for women in journalism. We have a few seconds. Give us a little summary about what she means for women in journalism . What is her legacy . What is she going to be remembered for the most . Well, most people are remembered for the newspaper they worked for. The new york times. She actually had she was the only woman the only person ever to get their own name on a seat in the briefing room. Again, i think she earned that. When she retired it was the right time for her to do so. Going back, she started a newspaper. She was making 6 a week. She worked her way up. I think she should all keep her lifes work, the entirety, in mind. She said she was tired of covering the president s wives hair dos and she changed that track for herself. Helen thomas dies at the age of 92. Dana, thank you for joining us. Thank you. Indeed. It was one year ago today a gunman carried out a horrific shooting rampage forever changing one community.

There is new Research Showing how other nations see the rivalry between the u. S. And china. According to two research polls, 60 of those surveyed say americas global imagery mains more positive than chinas. But only41 now say the u. S. Is the worlds leading economic power. That number fell 6 in just five years. 34 say china is the super power. Joining us now, president of Capital Management for an in depth analysis. Good to see you, gary. Thanks for having me. I want to talk about this first. How did we get to this place . What has been happening . It is a longtime in the making. Tell may what you think tell me what you think china has been doing in the last twenty years to get to this new standing . And what is it that the u. S. Is not doing . I think a couple things. Number one in 2008 our banks and the whole blowup here really affected things around the globe. When these polls come out people are thinking about that. China has been growing strong, but they are smaller than us. They have been growing 7 a year and thats a big number. You combine those two together and the polls kind of get together. What was the last thing you said . The what . The polls come together uh lo lot closer when you put those together. What do you think in general or maybe specifically, gary, the u. S. Needs to do to strengthen our economy at home . Well, first off i still think we are the greatest country in the world. We have more nobel Prize Winners than the countries around the globe. The entrepreneurialism. Country is never going south. It will always go north. Thats always going to be around. I think the biggest concern gary let me jump in before you get to your punch line. We are popping up here and showing you are mentioning nobel peace Prize Winners. Since 1901, 125 total, the u. S. Has 29 and where is china . And one. Bingo. Look, human rights, freedom, the lit knee of things why we have a much better country and growing forward. We have to realize that china, some of the numbers are a little screwy. They announce certain numbers. I am not so sure they are that big. 24r are cities that have been built by the Chinese Government with no people in it. We are not talking buildings. It is cities. Ghost towns. If you look at the pictures and the photos, they are beautiful communities, highrises and pristine. Nobody is there. Bingo. The big thing i am concerned about going forward, one number. 17 trillion. We have a massive amount of debt. If there is anything that has destroyed countries time and time again it is out of control debt, out of control yearly deficit. The good news is our deficits are starting to come down on a yearly basis. But we have to get better or else. What typically happens is Interest Rates will start sky rocketing and economies go south and then trouble lies ahead. Gary, let me see if i can get you to clarify something. There is a perception that china owns so much of the u. S. Debt that we have no more leverage over china. What is your take on that . Well, as long as we are able to pay the interest on that debt we are in good shape. But i have to tell you right now the big buyer of our debt is our own federal reserve. They bought about 70 of our Treasury Bonds over the last year. That needs to change also. No doubt we are a little beholden to them, and thats why i dont think our government yelling and screaming about them of hacking our computers and things like that. Hopefully that will change down the road. If our deficits come down, that will change. Where does the responsibility lie on congress . All levels of the of our great system there in dc, they have to come together because at the end of the day this is where the gridlock and the infighting can hurt us as a country as we try to maintain our position as number one in the world in terms of economic power and just being great all across the board. Well i have had one simple line. If they dont stop the markets are going to eventually stop them. Back in 2008 the markets stopped and all of the banks and the brokerages from leveraging the mortgage security is 301. If we keep growing the debt eventually the market will yell and scream and fight back. We could have a 1987 again if they dont get their act together. Even though we hear of washington not getting their act together. If deficits continue to come down and we get that in order we could be off to the races. The key about this country is the people. Not necessarily the government. It is great people. They are creating new businesses on a daily basis. Thats what drives this country. I think we will continue for a long time. Thats a good we are the best. We will continue. Definitely we have to not ignore some of these signs out there. Gary, thank you very much for your perspective. My pleasure. Thank you. Arthel, i am obsessed with the baby countdown. Who isnt . The guys are
