No one goes home in the house until an immigration bill is passed. Will the will the its hammer time. But with lawmakers crying foul, can they get the votes . Well know at 9 00 this morning. Did bill clinton drop the ball on bin laden . Listen to this shocking new recording that was released on september 10, 2001. I nearly got him once. I nearly got him. And i should have got him, i should have killed him. Wow. Why didnt he take him out . Youll be interested in his explanation. Mornings are better with friends. This is trace adkins and youre watching fox friends. Good morning everybody. Happy friday. That means its our allamerican summer Concert Series day to kick off. And we have trace adkins singing on our plaza at 48th and 6th. Today is the first day of august. As you can see, it smells like summer. Weve got famous daves doing the ribs. We started setting up the stage for trace adkins actually in july. We had him in yesterday. As you can see, started yesterday in the morning, went through the noon hour, went through the afternoon. The stage is modular so its relatively quick to put up. There it is live on our plaza. You heard the girls, 48th and 6th avenue. Come for free breakfast and a trace adkins kicks off at 11 00. It gets quicker every single year. Credit to that great team who put that up. Hats off to adrian. Hes the guy who pulls it
together. Trace adkins and i always get along together so it should be fascinating to see how we do now. Lets talk about what happened in the house. Michael mccall, chairman of homeland security, was one of our last guests yesterday. He said were going to vote for a house in the bill, about 650 million. The president wants 4 billion but were going to look at the 2008 bill and reform it and the 2012 bill and reform it. That is the last time things went according to format. Maybe it was because of ted cruz lobbying house members or because there is such a divide among the Republican Caucus they could not agree on a bill and had to cut it off. Whether to wipe daca off the books completely or throw more money there was not a complete consensus. It sounds like they got up to 214 votes. They needed 218 votes. Are they going to get it . Well know today at 9 00 in the morning because thats when theyre going to meet once again in the capitol to figure out what to do going forward. Representative steve king made it very clear. Republicans want to fix whats going on on our southern border. Here he is. Most republicans stayed because we want a shiewtion. We went into that we want a solution. We went into that room and hammered out something that got close. I wanted to fix the o. T. M. Language, the asylum language, fix the loophole on expanding daca. The president is waving his ink pen at america saying im going to violate the constitution and the law and legalize five million to six Million People. Thats what the dream act is. Experts say they talked to a lot of these kids and parents. They believe in 2012 when the president decided on his own to tell those kids who came here, they were Young Children with their
parents, and he told those kids there is no fear of deportation. The message got to central and south america that america will tell the children if you arrive here, you can stay here. They want to amend that and stop the president from doing these executive orders especially when it comes to immigration. That looms because the president has basically all but said thats what straight ahead in september. Any extension on daca would be a very courteous invite for more illegals to cross over, so they have concern over that. Youd think the United States would be more united when it comes to our border being particularly invaded here in the south, but president obama seems to want to divide, mocking the lawsuit that republicans have put forward saying he is just outside of the loss in the constitution. You could say it is a harmless political stunt except it wastes americas time. You guys are all paying for it as taxpayers. Its not very productive. But its not going to stop me from doing what i think needs to be done in order to help families all across this country. Were doing our job, trying to find ways in which we can help working families. Think about how much further along wed be if congress would do its job. You know, so thats got some people ranked, a little upset. Because if you want to work with somebody, you dont call them names. You know, while he says he wants to work with the other side, there really is little evidence of that. And thats why hes got a phone and hes got a pen and hes got a putter when hes not doing executive actions, hes out on the golf course. The executive actions and what hes talking about, Charles Krauthammer says this is not what our framers had in mind. The constitution could not be more clear. The president s version to faithfully execute the laws, hes not allowed to make the laws, not allowed
to change the laws, he isnt allowed to unilaterally suspend the laws which is exactly what theyre saying hes going to do. This would be a gross violation of the constitution. Today at 9 00 the republicans are going to get together, the whole house is going to be called together. Will they be able to bring something to the floor . Will they be able to pass it . Dont know. However we know for sure the Democraticled Senate yesterday could not come up with 60 votes and so harry reid could not pass the president s own bill in his own party. Thats a problem for them politically. This is all symbolism because the president is not going to do anything with what the house passes. The house just wanted to pass it. Theyre 10 votes short, 20 republicans defected from this bill. I dont know who is going to reverse it. I dont know why they waited until the last day. Its going to be a busy breakfast to say the least, for them. Heather nauert is here as well. A fox news alert regarding ebola which has america in sort of a startled state. It has killed about 700 people overseas and that deadly ebola virus is coming to u. S. Soil. Two infected mens who are aid workers helping people in africa who have this illness right now, these aid workers will be brought to the United States. One of them will be treated at emory hospital in atlanta. That patient is expected to arrive there sometime within the next few days. A medevac jet left yesterday afternoon to pick up the patient and in the plane there is some sort of Isolation Unit on it. Take a look at this picture. These were built and designed by the department of defense and also the c. D. C. They apparently were told to ensure flight crew will remain safe from that disease. Well keep watching the hours after the start of the ceasefire between israel and hamas, it is already falling apart. There is new violence to tell you about this morning. It broke out just moments ago. Both sides are accusing each other of violating the truce. Israel says rockets have
been fired at them and hamas says israeli troops fired on palestinians leaving many of them dead. The israeli ambassador spoke out last night, and he said dont rush to judgment. We had a case two days ago, three days ago where we had two attacks, one on a hospital in gaza and one on a refugee camp where a number of children were killed. Obviously everyone is moved by pictures of children being killed. But there was a rush to judgment on israel. An nbc reporter said this was an israeli drone strike. Turns out that those people were killed, both of those attacks came from rockets that were fired by Islamic Jihad in gaza. At least four humanitarian ceasefires have been announced since that conflict started. While you were sleeping House Majority leader eric cantor says he will leave Congress Early on august 18. Originally he said he would serve out his entire term. He lost against a Tea Party Challenger. Last night california congressman Kevin Mccarthy taking over as majority
leader. The c. I. A. Saying im sorry for snooping on members of the u. S. Senate. Director john brennan confirms the c. I. A. Employees improperly searched computers that were used by senators who were investigating the agencys interrogation program. Thats a total aboutface for brennan who said in march do you remember this . He said the accusations of spying couldnt be further from the truth. This all coming out in a c. I. A. Audi. That is big news out of washington this morning. We kind of knew what was going on. And now, ladies and gentlemen, exhibit a. Bill clinton was president of the United States up until january of 2001. George bush takes over in august. Everyone talks about that memorandum he got that said bin laden determined to attack in our homeland. People were all over george bush saying why didnt you react more specifically and succinctly to that. He did have plans on hitting bin laden. Remember the story. Hes going to have a big hit on bin laden, tackle al qaeda. However, he didnt get the chance because on 9 11, 2001, 3,000 people lost their lives because they had their successful attack. The 9 11 report did indicate the testimonies that thought there were many opportunities that clinton had to get bin laden and didnt. Also indicating that al qaeda was not taken seriously. But for the very first time we are hearing his voice from an Australian Businessman who released this audio just hours before the 9 11 attack of president bill clinton saying he almost had bin laden. Hes a very smart guy. I spent a lot of time thinking about him, and i nearly got him once. I nearly got him. And i should have got him i could have killed him but i would have had to destroy a little town called kandahar in afghanistan and kill 300 innocent women and children and then i would have been
no better than him. And so i wouldnt do it. Kandahar, by the way, a town of 400,000. Its not just a little town. But just the fact that bill clinton says on tape have we heard him say this since . I could have killed him. There are families of 3,000 americans who when they hear this are going you know what, mr. President . You should have done it. It sends chills down the spine of anyone who heard it. That was the day before september 11. September 10 . Australia, bill clinton reveals he could have killed him but he didnt it. Ahead, a new basketball court, weight room and five tvs. Im not talking about steves house. Im talking about the hotel rooms that a lot of illegal aliens are getting once they cross the border. Well tell you about that new facility. Caught red faced, this guy clearly guilty, caught on camera stealing stuff from somebodys porch. But he says that wasnt me. Really .

antiimmigration protesters out in full force against Massachusetts Governor patricks plan to temporarily house immigrants in the state and suggest ill take 1,000. It is not just republicans. Joining us is democratic massachusetts state senator richard moran. Good morning to you, sir. Good morning. It is frustrating because while the president has not stopped the flow of people across our southern border because he refuses to change the law thats been on the books for a number of years, youre frustrated because there are people in this country already who need help and yet were taking more that we really dont have the money for. Thats true. Theyre in our communities. They are able to, because of federal law, says a hospital has to take anyone who shows up at the emergency department. They are adding some burden to our health care system, to our school system, to our Law Enforcement. Taking in others who will at some point be released into the community, one of
the concerns that i have heard from immigration officials is that these young people that are coming over the border in texas seem to already have they look for a Border Patrol agent. They look for Law Enforcement to be pecked up because they already have Contact Information of someone who is already here. So its a bit more organized than, at least in some aspects than it seems. The federal government, even if they pay, it is still taxpayers paying, for the new kids coming in. Weve got a burden from those who have been coming here for the last 20 years. Absolutely. One of the things that impacts people at the local level and the state level is Deval Patrick said well take a thousand of these illegal kids. I think youve had close to a thousand already. The government has revealed that are already scattered across your state. I dont know how much it costs per pupil in the state of massachusetts but where i live in new jersey we spend over 20,000 a kid. Now whos going to pay for
those at least 2,000 illegal kids in your state to go to school in the coming month or two . The taxpayers, the people who own property in the state of massachusetts. Right. And the state as well because school aid is based on enrollment numbers. State aid is paid on that. State tax as well as the property tax. Would he pay an average of about 55 to 60 of the local education costs are picked up by the states. Its a joint burden that we have here and across the country where these folks are allowed to come in because the federal government hasnt been able to secure the borders. There is a story out that apparently they have put together a fantastic facility for the illegals down in texas. 532 beds thats going to cost american taxpayers 140 per illegal per day. Theyre not going to call them detainees. Theyre going to call them
residents. The guards are called resident advisors. The rooms are essentially suites, cable tv, libraries, Internet Access and an allyoucaneat buffet. That is the sweet life . I know the reaction that i hear from constituents is, you know, we cant take care of our own kids and give them that kind of facility, or we do it certainly at a sacrifice. So two cities really being built here, one for folks that are coming in on their own or are being encouraged. And those that are already here, including our own children, our own citizens. Richard moore, a democrat from the great state of massachusetts. Sir, thank you very much for joining us live. 20 minutes after the top of the hour. Still ahead, joan rivers sounds off to defend israel. New jersey was firing rockets into new york, we would wipe them out. So what do the American People think about women talking politics . We have the dials next. Making headlines, Congress Gets something accomplished did congress get something accomplished last night in they approved a Veterans Administration reform bill. Its 17 billion, a package that will help vets avoid long wait times for medical care by hiring more doctors and nurses. It lets vets get care outside of the v. A. In a few hour one of the suspects in the murder of brian terry will be arraigned. He was extradited from mexico. Terry died in a shootout in
2010 in the botched gun operation, fast and furious. Whether shooting straight from the hips or moving their hips, female leaders are under extra scrutiny for being too bold or too timid. This morning were going to check the pulse of the people to see how their words were perceived. Yoing us is leigh carter to evaluate. Well start with a couple of clips. The first is Hillary Clinton and her remarks relating to putin. Well, hes very tough. Hes a very arrogant person to deal with, which i think is a combination of this vision of russia and some fundamental insecurity. Because when you are dealing with him, he often act as though he could care less. In your estimation, what does that mean when you see those numbers change . Shes having a steady climb but not hitting it out of the park. I think hillary has a tough
road ahead of her but recently shes telling stories, demonstrating shes got experience. This is working. It is not hitting it out of the park, not making people run for votes but giving it some context that maybe she is okay and experienced enough to be president. What is the yoaf all grade . Not perfect but not bad either. Not bad. Joan rivers not mincing words when it comes to the mideast. If new jersey were firing rockets into new york, we would wipe t
