"fox & friends" begins right now. >> it's time for "fox & friends." [rooster crowing] >> welcome. welcome in to "fox & friends" on this saturday morning, this memorial day. -- memorial day weekend. we hope it won't be a wash out. >> anna? >> can i get some of that? >> anna's dress is blue. she is kind of red, white, and blue. >> you look stunning this morning. >> i wasn't too jazzed about it. >> you woke me up this morning. i didn't even need coffee. >> good to he so you this morning. >> good morning and happy.

first we need to get to the fox news alert. breaking news overnight, at least seven people dead, seven others hurt following a drive by shooting near the university of california santa barbara campus. police are calling this a mass murder. the gunman was driving a black bmw when he opened fire near the student community. when officers arrived. the gunman then fired shots at them and drove off. eventually crashed into a parked car and was found dead from a gunshot wound. police are are now reviewing both written and video evidence that leads them to believe this was a planned shooting. also new overnight a chemical plant explodes near atlanta. >> whoa. >> holy [bleep] >> well, at this hour fire crews still trying to put out the flames. it happened in an industrial park in marietta, georgia. the building is used to maker aerosol production but

cops say no toxic fumes are involved. nearby buildings and a car reported. >> casey kasem wife in longer in charge of his medical care. a california court serving jean kasem guardianship papers. his daughter kerry will be making medical decisions. this after his children reported him missing last week. he was found with his wife the next day at a family friend's home in washington state. casey is suffering from a form of dementia. pope francis arriving in jordan moments ago for a three day trip through the middle east. take a look at this. his itinerary includes stops in israel and palestine and hoping to appeal to all religions to work for peace. a point of contention for his security team the pope will not be traveling in his bullet proof pope mobile. instead the pontiff wants it use normal vehicles so he can be as close as possible.

>> i know why the pope left italy. >> tell us. >> kim kardashian is in the country getting married in three hours. he says i am out of here. he took off. >> didn't want to be a part of that. >> no. who does. >> he wasn't invited to that. >> rick reichmuth is standing by he is about to leave here and head over to italy for the big wedding. >> he should have stayed so something decent and holy in that country kardashian and the mayhem. >> is it going to be a washout? reading all the headlines. >> really what do the headlines say? >> drudge report says memorial day is going to be a washout, are they full of it. >> it's a big country. any time you hear on a national thing it's going to be washout. >> i don't know why you are attacking clayton so early. >> no. it's not going to be a washout unless you are parts of texas and oklahoma you want it to be a washout there. big storms across parts of the northeast. we will have this again

today. if you thought the last couple days were a washout. then it's going to be a washout. it really wasn't. it was scattered showers in the afternoon. once the day heats up and see that today and even tomorrow. we have to dodge some of those spotty showers. the bigger storm is out here across the west. some ofs storms are severe at times. talked so much about the california drought. equal drought going on west texas, oklahoma and kansas. this is an area that desperately needs it severe weather. mostly hail and some wind. if that hail isn't too bad. this is really just all good news. today we have it tomorrow, we have it the next day. severe weather, guys. the rain up to 3 to a inches by the time this is all done, which is great for them. they desperately need it. farmers, ranchers, everybody out there is thrilled for this. so there you go. how is that? >> a part washout. thanks, rick. >> you bet. what we have been following is the v.a. scandal and among the problems with the veterans affairs is the fact that the backlog of paperwork, of course, the backlog of paperwork. woe simply don't have the

staff members to handle all of the need they care. that doesn't jive with the numbers we know about the amount of money the v.a. has received. $150 billion. two fold increase from 2006. >> the funding is way up but the care is way down. we went to this web site at u.s.a. jobs.com and said we need more people. we are under stawfd. apparently not. if you go to this web site u.s.a. jobs.com, over 1,000 job openings available right now. >> let's go. let's hire them. >> aren't they trying to hire these people and recruit them more? 67 openings for v.a. physicians and 18 openings at the phoenix v.a. of course, that is where the first scandal erupted where allegedly 40 of our heroes were left to die there on these secret waiting lists. >> i didn't believe we are talking about this on memorial day weekend. >> it's sad. >> the other thing is why didn't they prepare? they knew we were fighting two wars, medical technology and even body armor

technology has advanced that we know these heroes are going to be coming home surviving and not dieing from their injuries, which is great. but that means there are more that need to be cared for. >> $150 billion they received in order to hire more doctors. so you had $150 billion that they received, but they didn't hire the more doctors. so you needed an extra 50% increase in the number of positions on staff to deal with the injuries. >> all from the vietnam war and speaking of that go down to a special event on the washington mall today. so why weren't we -- i have been talking about this particular story for 25, 30 years. >> really? >> v.a. hospitals not being, you know, no good care at v.a. hospitals, some of them. >> we hold up the veterans affairs and healthcare system under v.a. as a shining example of what we want, right? we always hear these stories about it. this is the type of care the regular americans should get like our veterans get it turns out that that's not the case. now in fact our nation's

veterans are not getting the same quality of care. state government records released this morning showing that illegal aliens, illegal immigrants in this country in pockets of the country are getting better care. >> covered better than vets. >> even though by law they are not supposed to be getting that money. >> if you look out in los angeles, for instance, in los angeles county they are about to increase the number of illegal immigrants getting care under an expansion of the healthcare system there. but, yet, veterans there are still backlogged waiting to get proper care. >> let's throw up some numbers. what do you say? >> let's do it. go to the big board. >> look at that. >> we have some uninsured illegal immigrants $4.3 billion per year for all levels of government. emergency medicaid $2 billion a year going to the care of illegal immigrants and covered by employer private insurance $2.85 million. >> priorities. >> you know michelle malkin

breaks this down interesting piece hot air the problem with kidney dialysis. getting old broken down kidney dialysis machines and they can't even get them up and running and yet brand kidney dialysis machines being brought in for care. >> this is one of these examples we have got to do something about this. good people in congress. we have got to do something about this. we have been saying we have got to do something about this with the veterans administration for years, decades and now it's going to take something like, this people dying to get something done. let's help. ridiculous. >> these men and women are putting themselves on the line for us and fighting for our freedoms and treated like this when they come home. condition contrast that with illegal immigrants that shouldn't be here in the first place. >> last year 36,000 convicted illegal immigrants, this is people from kidnappers and people who have been convicted of sexual assault and rapes and all these awful things, they are released and yet we have

got this marine, too, who is in mexico who we can't bring home in two months. >> let us know what you think about that. i think one of the most talked about stories on the network yesterday and talked about today mark cuban and stephan a. smith. did you hear mark cuban's comments? he was talking about race when he was asked about donald sterling and he was talking about his own issues personally with race. take a listen. and then stephan a. smith from espn responding. listen. >> we are all prejudiced in one way or the other. if i see a black kid in a hoody and it's late at night, i'm walking to the other side of the street. and if i'm on that side of the street, there is a guy that has tattoos all over his face, white guy, bald head, tattoos everywhere, i'm walking back to the other side of the street. and the list goes on of stereotypes that we all live

up to and are fearful of. >> i want tomorrow if a size that i have absolutely, positively no problem whatsoever with what mark cuban had to say, zero. now, i understand that me being a black man, an african-american that people are going to be rubbed the wrong way by those statements. they will need to get over it. >> so stephan a. smith being called an uncle tom -- >> -- supreme are furious. they ripped him apart yesterday after those comments were played. >> he is he not taking it lying down. he fired back yesterday. this is one of the most remarkable sound bites i have heard in a long time. listen to stephan a. smith respond to his critics yesterday. roll it. >> stephan a. smith is a sell out, stephan a. smith is an uncle tom. stephan a. smith ain't black. you ain't one of us. these are the kind of things that was said to me yesterday. but when i say i don't give a damn, i can't even -- that

does it no justice. i stand by everything that i say yesterday 10 fold. 100 fold. i do understand that to some degree there is a level of racism that we all have to overcome. and i get all of that. but that doesn't mean every single issue is race-related. sometimes it is about how you represent yourself. it is about how you present yourself. when i alluded to walking around with your pants hanging below your behind, that's just triteless and counter productive. when i talked about first words out of your mouth you know what i'm saying, no, i don't. you ain't said anything yet. we're not talking about having a command of the english language. instead you want a job and career. but you don't want to get your education and you don't want to go out there and pound that pavement. when you look at the guide p. diddy or ojay-z or whether it's lebron or d. wade. here is the reality of the situation, everybody can't

be them. they are special. when we talk about the american dream, you know who i think about? myself. queens, new york city, left back in the fourth grade, grew up fourth, the level of education that i had with the public school system. i ultimately graduate from high school. i go to a historically black institution like winston-salem state university. i graduate with honors. there is no journalism program. i still graduate with honors. i still beat out thousands of people to get an internship and i'm on national tv every day. get paid pretty well, i might add. and i'm thinking about the fact that where did i come from? this is the role, this is the road you have got to climb. >> wow! >> we know him very well in philadelphia where i work monday through friday i worked for the philadelphia enquirer for years. i watch him every day on first take. >> so weigh in. give us your thoughts this morning. talking about that much more on the show morning.

facebook.com/ff weekend. do you agree with stephan or do you disagree with him? >> veterans forced to wait too long for medical care. we have a doctor offering free cardiac care for him. we willar hear from him coming up. all organic, and there's tons of info on our website. that's why you rely on the best for your business. and verizon delivers the best devices on the best network. you're all big toes to me. so go ahead, stream and download with confidence on america's largest, most reliable 4glte network. activate any 4glte smartphone and get $100 off. for best results, use verizon. carsthey're why we innovate. they're who we protect. they're why we make life less complicated. it's about people.

dr. martin handler sr. offering free cardiac care to veterans who are not getting it from the v.a. and hopes to inspire other doctors around the country to follow his lead. dr. handler joins me now to explain. good morning, thanks for being with us on "fox & friends." >> you are welcome. >> explain the need that you see from these veterans and why you decided to step up. >> it's the right thing to do. okay? why do -- why do people step forward to be voluntary firemen? why do people go to help at the world trade centered? both emergency personnel and civilians and run toward the problems? why do emergency personnel and civilians go to help at the boston bombing? it's the right thing to do. when it comes to the military, it's even more. these are our military professionals. these are the people who keep us safe. th best of care. >> yeah. and you have this valuable skill set so you are going to offer your cardiac care

to them free of charge if there is insurance, you will accept any form. if there is no insurance you are going to do it free of charge. which is amazing. how is this process going to work? >> all they need to do is if they feel in the local area that they are not getting the care, the timely care that they deserve, they just call the office and make an appointment. there is a kinship between the military professionals and the healthcare professionals. we do similar things. our lives are not at stake like the military. but we do similar things. nurses work so hard. and i believe that the medical professionals in the v.a. hospitals also want to help as much as possible. but they are hampered by bureaucracy just like we are hampered by bureaucracy. >> we have seen a lot of healthcare professionals talking about stepping up, even just normal civilians stepping up to volunteer and sit in waiting rooms and help veterans fill out their paperwork and try to cut

through all of the red tape. where do you see this going in the future? is this a temporary fix or is this something that needs to happen across the board forever and ever amen? >> what i'm trying to do is just a temporary fix, okay? just to help the military people that are on long waiting lines to try to get care across the country. i would like to get all the medical societies across the country involved in this. and so they could be the vehicle that physicians and other healthcare professionals can call to volunteer their services to the medical societies. but that's just a short-term. >> dr. handler, we have heard some commentators say this is just a precursor a sign of what's to come with obamacare when the government is running healthcare this is what it looks like. do you agree or not? >> well, you know, this should be -- they should put this out as an example of the best of care and not the worst of care. >> dr. handler, thank you so much for your time today. a great thing you are doing.

our hats off to you. >> thank you. >> well, two planes packed with passengers within seconds of crashing into each other. and this is no joke. it's happened twice just this month. how common is it and why is it happening?

on this holiday weekend heading to the airport right now two, united airlines planes packed with passengers unaware of how close they were to danger. listen. >> united stop your turn. stop your climb and stop your turn for united 601. >> that was air traffic control just a little bit of the information there at george bush intercontinental airport in houston after they told a plane headed to vancouver to turn right instead of left. oops. that plane came within

400 feet of another plane headed to mexico city. this is the third incident of a near crash just in the last month. well, between october of 2011 and september of 2012, over 4,000 cases where planes got too close to each other o, faa deemed 41 of those 4,000 to be high risk. so, what do you need to know if you are headed to the airport right now in the publish everywhere of jet wyandot come and fox news aviation analyst robert marks joins us right now. robert, welcome to the program here. it gives me no compel confidence. how many planes are in the air at any given time? >> thousands. easily thousands. they are all concentrated in the the major metropolitan areas, the new yorks, the chicagos, the atlantas, and tease usually where these accidents or near accidents happen. except that the one over hawaii was out in the middle of nowhere. >> so, what -- what is the

problem here? is it normally human error like they go left instead of right? >> pretty much. i mean, as long as we have z and this probably isn't going to make people feel incredibly safe but the system is relatively safe. it is. but as long as you have pilots that are humans and air traffic controllers that are humans, people are going to make mistakes. and luckily this one got caught before it got completely out of hand. but it was close. >> yeah. i noticed one of the airports said okay. we are not going to use this particular runway anymore. well, that just backs up, you know, the flights and then you have got delays and stuff like that. is there a solution? is there technology that we're not using properly? >> >> well, there is technology, of course, the aircraft have a system that alerts them to the fact that another aircraft is. >> alarm. >> exactly. i'm sure they saw that the one thing that really saved us though the other day is that the weather was really

good in houston. if the weather had been bad and both of these airplanes had been in the clouds, they might not have seen each other. and that would have been even worse. way worse. >> you know, just, the day before yesterday there was a big hailstorm in the philadelphia area and a plane coming in from orlando, actually the hail hit the plane and cracked the windshield of the cockpit. why would that plane even be allowed to land in a storm like that? >> well, that's one of those situations that's considered pilot judgment. and seriously, no pilot ever intentionally flies into that kind of thing. my guess is that it probably turned out to be way worse than they ever planned on, of course once you are in it and the windshield is cracked, the last thing you want to do is stay in the air. you want to get back down on the ground. >> people heading to the airport, what can i do as a passenger? just hold my breath? >> no, i will tell you something. you know what passengers can do. if we go back to an accident that was really awful here in the states about five years ago when that airplane

crashed in buffalo, new york, the victims' families got together and lobbied congress and didn't just send them letters and make a couple of phone calls. they got together as a group and they said we are mad as hell and we're not going to put up with this anymore. they actually got some action. so i -- trust me, there is something that passengers can do. they just never have really been that organized before when it comes to safety. i think they should be. >> yeah, get organized, say something. get mad as heck as that guy said. open the window. robert, good to he see you. thank you very much. >> you bet. good luck with your flight, everybody. hey, mom, do i look fat to you? seriously? little girl right here sent home with a letter from her school declaring she was overweight. hey, you are fat is what they are saying. does that make sense to you? look at her. the latest way one city is fat shaming our children. then, watch your wallet, everybody. because it's on the rise

good morning. >> make sure we did say mark did advise to trayvon martin's family the way he said that was inappropriate. >> no it wasn't. >> you say it's actually refreshing to hear from him? >> it's actually refreshing if you think about what eric holder once said that we are a nation of cowards. here is mark cuban who in full context in the benefit of doing this on my sirius xm show. played whole four minutes and 14 seconds of what he said. he was being very honest about images and intellectually honest about saying we all from prejudices, that's the one mistake we made. missed the s. he said we all have prejudices that come out. you see an image, somebody with long hair a ponytail and tattoos a bald head. he brings in age and gender. he says we take this into account. it's disingenuous and dishonest frankly who in this grievance industry call him a racist it drives their

narrative where in america we are being honest about what we see every day. >> and about how he feels personally. >> he reflects so many americans be honest, not willing to talk about it so shocking maybe. here he was reflecting maybe what a lot of americans feel about stereotypes but he said it. >> not only did he say it but there is an important part of what he said is. in the quinning he said essentially you can't fix stupid or do anything about it it he also talks about his children how he talks to his children about this honestly. and that is an education we need to have in this country. parents telling their children these are are stereotypes. these are are images, look, i grew up around rockers. i worked with joe cocker, things like that. long-haired ponytail harley riding guys. some of them are worth more than white collared upieses because they are hard-working americans. the point is stereotypes. i'm black, if i get into a black car outside of fox, someone may go black guy in

a black car must be uber wealthy rapper or something because is he black. that's also a wrong image. doesn't mean i'm not a multimillionaire. the point is the images are there and they are real. >> let's not simplify it or subject this to racism. >> mark cuban is a wealthy white male. so for him to say this somehow he is going to be seen as a racist and a blig got. would it be better coming out of somebody else's mouth? >> no, it actually wouldn't. i'm not going to subject myself in this country shouldn't subject ourselves to somebody else's driven perception which false. mark cuban is white because that's the way he was born. accident of our birth. you were born a many woman of achievement i was born a black man. you are a white man and mike jarrett. this is a guy that doesn't like cheese plates. however, the point is that's the accident of your birth. the honesty comes from a human being regardless of color, that's what we are. >> let's get you out of here on this, david, which is the reaction of the media, certain media only choosing

to play part of the headline. not even talking about what he talked about the white kid or with the skin head. >> ignoring that point. >> ignoring that point. what was your reaction to the media's response to this? >> >> this is dishonest. same thing in this little grievance industry that exists that they feel they need to sell to an audience. this is the american audience we are talking about. why is fox successful as a network? because we don't pick and choose. we are broadcasters, this is what we do. they are not really journalists when they do that. >> i'm afraid of you because you are bald. >> my chrome dome offends you, mike? >> love you man. >> great to he see you. have a great weekend. >> hard to watch. children electrocuted almost while swimming in a pool. how did that happen? everybody was getting shocked. and can it happen to your kids, what all parents need to know next. >> swap out hot coffee for

jerusalem. remember are, arrived here in jordan, a country where there was a population for christians of about 5%, more than 95% of the population here happens to be muslim. still, he got a rock star welcome here both at the airport and then also there were crowds line offing the streets as his motorcade came through. after this meeting with the king, he heads to it a large mass, not only will he speak to members of jordan's christian population, but also refugees from syria, from palestinian refugee camps and then iraqi refugees as well. he ends the day down at the traditional baptism site of jesus at the jordan river. back to you. >> leland, thank you for your time today. 24 minutes after the hour. clayton over to you. >> thanks, anna. shocking video of a scary situation at a miami pool. watch this. three children electrocuted while swimming in a faulty pool pump is to blame for it all. parents pulling their kids

that pole there conducting to the water. unbelievable. unbelievable. tips we can take care of our own pools and hopefully public poles have. a pole maintained by a qualified technician. how do you know they are qualified and how often do they have to do it? t.? >> in this particular case there is no way a parent would have known whether or not there is frayed wires, corrosion or proper grounding of that pool. that's why it is so important to talk to a reputable, qualified pool technician. it's not just about throwing chemicals in the pool. it's about checking the wiring and making sure that pool is grounded properly. >> it is unbelievable when you think about it yes, many pools are are lighted so there is electricity sitting right next to all of this water. number two it on your list you say look for corroded or frayed wires. i would be 100 yards away from that pool. >> right. you can't do much about fixing it yourself. but if you see a lighting, you mentioned lighting, any

fixture, any liting source, electricity souter around a pool. water feathers, landscaping. if it looks like the water is frayed and showing. you really shouldn't be getting in that pool. certainly by all means reporting it to the owner/operator and making sure they get it ton othe list to get it fixed. >> i spent years as a lifeguard growing up and i know one important thing you can can do as a patient is to be your child's lifeguard. break that down for us. >> that video shows why. nobody cares about your child more than you do. >> right. >> so even if if there is a lifeguard on the scene, as good as they are, watch your children so you can react as quickly as those parents did down in florida. a drowning or an electrocution in this case can happen in seconds. a kid goes under quietly. it can be over. so you need to be on top of them quickly. >> let's be honest when you are a lifeguard at a pool and hundreds of kids swimming all around you, it's hard to have that many eyeballs on all of those kids at that moment.

so great point. have a phone nearby. >> yeah. you know, abbey's hope is all about kind of preventing these things from happening in the first place. but, also, they do happen. we see it by the video. so, having a phone by the pool, so you can react cpr quickly to that potential victim. i just got trained last week along with my son and my wife we know a lot more how to react to that situation than before we got trained. >> local red cross will put on some classes. very short. spend a saturday afternoon and help save a life, really fantastic. >> only takes an hour. >> great tips. be safe out there this summer and memorial day weekend. thanks, alan. >> thanks, clayton. >> muslim cleric backed hamas and called for the killing of american soldiers.

taking or after stopping chantix. if you notice any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix. don't take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you develop these, stop chantix and see your doctor right away as some could be life threatening. 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 you 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. i did not know what it was like to be a non-smoker. but i do now. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. captain: and here's a tip. bellman: thanks, captain obvious. when you save money on hotel rooms, it's just like saving money on anything else that costs money. like shoes, textiles, foreign investments, spatulas, bounty hunters, javelins... verizon has always set out to provide you with the most powerful and reliable network experience. and now for the next advancement.

device hit his vehicle. i was given the bracelet by his wife, dana. to remind me of the human cost of war but also to remind me that every one of these servicemen and women that will we'll are remembering today has left loved ones behind. and of that almost 7,000 servicemen and women who died, they are left over 20,000 surviving family members we can never forget their sacrifices. >> we can never forget on this memorial day the sacrifices of those who returned from these wars and dealing with injuries, both mental and physical here at home. and, of course, the v.a. scandal has been on the minds of many of these veterans on this memorial day weekend, wondering why they are not getting the care that they deserve and need. what is your thought on this memorial day about what is is unfolding at the v.a. >> well, you know, we are appalled by the reports coming out of veterans administration. but having led a large

organization, i know that it's going to take us some time to get to the bottom of this and to really identify the root causes, because, what we want is to fix the problems that we are seeing today so that our veterans truly do get the care that they deserve. and i believe eric shinseki who i have known for years is a man of great integrity and great commitment to the man and women that he deserves is the right guy to get to the bottom of it and to hold those people accountable according to the way we want our men and women treated. >> thank you so much. the names will be red at 10:00 this morning on the national mall. thank you so much. >> thank you very much. take care. >> coming up on the show. hey mom, do i look fat to you? this little girl was just sent home with a letter from her school that says she is overweight. that girl and her mom are not happy and they are here live next. s work.

we bring to the table but most veterans don't know how to take their skills and turn them into tangible things that an hr person can look at. i'm a decorated vietnam veteran. i have a purple heart. what does that equate to? it equates to one thing. i have leadership skills. i understand team work and i understand process. >> thanks and hopefully to "fox & friends" you are about to get a job. >> i hope so, thank you very much. >> continuing your discussion. evan, thank you very much. >> okay. >> so there you go. i mean, look, this is what it is all about. it is about honoring the service that they have done. getting them jobs. hopefully some jobs at least one now coming out of the work we're doing today. send it back to you in the studio. >> all right, cheryl. thanks so much. watching the magic happen right there. all the companies outside too. even more participating in veterans career fair june 4th 1 to 4 eastern time. for more information go to veteran recruiting.com. and coming up on "fox & friends" weekend, this memorial day weekend, one of our marines sits locked up inside a mexican jail.

carolyn bisset. >> now 15 years since his death. one of jfk jr's closest friend is revealing a never-before-seen look into his life. all in his book "jfk jr, george and me" a memoir. author matt berman joins us. what did you learn putting all of this together, some of the things we might not know publically? >> my main goal was to show what kind of person john was. 15 years later and so much has changed. it's like the magazine days like that are not really here any more. it's just sort of like, to me like working with this great guy and doing these creative projects and not second-guessing ourselves and really making iconic stuff you won't remember. >> what i learned in the book, he was more of a jokester. >> that's what i love, too.

i would love people to get a sense of who he was. i wanted to conjure him up. through these stories and antidotes you see what was funny to him. humor is huge. we have a lot of pictures. >> we have a letter he sent to the staff. "i wanted to let you all know while you were toiling away, i went and got myself married. i had to be a bit sneaky for reasons now i imagine are obvious." p.s., does this mean you'll all call me mr. from now on?" >> if he had something to tell you in the magazine he needed fixed, it was always with a joke. that's the way he managed with this great sense of humor. >> i really liked that magazine. you were trying to figure out back in the day who to put on the cover. tell that robert denero story.

>> he was a cover. that was a different take. john had been friends with him from living in tribeca. he had a great english photographer come in nick knight who is awesome. the fun part was john said come down to my apartment. i've got something for you. i go down there. he pulls this big sword out of a box and says use this. that's cool that. looks real. he goes, well it is real. it's george washington's sword. that's what was so funny with him. it was bigger than life, more than you thought. >> political aspirations. people wanted him. had this idea he would be like his father, run for president. did he give any indication he was going to go into politics? >> i hope so. now that we are all 15 years older, every time i turn on the tv i am lishgs oh, i wish that

was john. back then we were doing "george" and john was obsessed with "george" and "george" was it at the moment. >> great book. >> thank you. "jfk jr, george and me, a memoir." coming up, should he stay or go. calls to resign are getting louder. >> in the market for a new vehicle? this weekend is a great time to buy. we are sharing awesome deals on american-made cars.

good morning, it is saturday 24th of may, 2014. a killing spree on a major college campus. at least seven people dead. what we now know about the suspect's motives. he may have been targeting sorority girls for revenge. >> the mess at the v.a. getting worse this morning. a stunning new report shows that as veterans are waiting for care and can't even see a doctor, the administration is stalling on hiring help. why? we'll break it down. more outrage over at the gift shop at the new 9/11 museum. not only are they open for business, but wait till you hear what they are selling now.

fox and friends hour four starts right now. ♪ we're an american band >> a little grand funk railroad to wake you up now. it's fleet week here. the marine corps may be outside and i think the navy just beat the marines in our tug of war competition. >> even though the marines had me on their side. >> in high heels. >> beautiful. you had one hand there and coffee in the other. >> it was a microphone. >> we are going to take on the winners. >> shouldn't it have been the losers? >> you are pitting us against the winners of this? >> did you see how big these guys are and girls? >> one guy is like a tree trunk. >> it's memorial day weekend. the outrage at the v.a. is still

hot on everyone's minds this morning, especially going back decades. why are veterans not getting the care they need from these wars mental and physical? >> we don't have enough staff. >> then we went to a website usa jobs.com. there are over 1,000 openings. look at this. they need 67 physicians. >> that's one of the problems, the doctor shortages. >> 18 at the phoenix itself. >> that's where the scandal first broke was the secret waiting list in phoenix where 40 of our heroes were allegedly left to die. >> you can't argue they don't have the money. since 2006, their doubled, $150 billion the v.a. has right

now. could you imagine how that might help the backlog? >> you've got to have bright minds. wouldn't they have the foresight, we are fighting two wars, body armor technology is so great they are coming home alive but in pieces. why didn't they hire them? why aren't they trying to recruit? >> 50% increase in the number of troops who need our help when they come back home. yet they only have about a 6% to 7% increase. >> think of all the baby boomers who served in vietnam. you knew they were getting to a certain age. why wasn't there more planning? we've been talking about

problems at the v.a., 30, 40, 50 years. something needs to be done but never gets done. maybe this will be the turning point to get something done. >> we heard from the president. we did have the press conference. a lot of people thought you were going to hear from the president, him saying i'm accepting the resignation of secretary shinseki. he said i still support him and many democrats are stand buying him, as well. >> is this the answer to get rid of this guy at the head of it? earlier we asked about this and he said i know eric shinseki. he's the right man to lead us out of this issue and out of this quagmire. is it the wrong move to get rid of him? what do you think at home?

>> why was general shinseki hired? he was hired to come into the v.a., take the leadership he had in the military, bring it into the v.a. and make these problems go away. there was a mem number 2010 that outlined this exact problem. so they had four years to do something about this but we have failed leadership there. if this is a military venue, you're relieved of duty. fire sector, you're fired. >> one says he shouldn't go. >> it's hard to fire anybody at the v.a. they wanted to do a bill where you would give whoever is in charge of the v.a. and get rid of. >> in the military you would be

relieved of your duties and in the private sector you would be fired. the colonel says getting rid of him is like blaming your doctor for the cancer you have. he says this has been going on for decades and this is nothing new in the v.a. give him more time. >> maybe he has the resources and needs the support. who knows? meanwhile we have headlines on the show. we want to hear your side of this v.a. story. should shinseki go or take a deep breath and think about it more thoroughly? we have stories making headlines. fox news alert now. at least seven people are dead and seven others hurt following a drive-by shooting at the university of california santa barbara campus. he drove a bmw through the smunt

wbecame your business. passion... at&t can help simplify how you manage it. so you can focus on what you love most. when everyone and everything works together, business just sings. when folks think about wthey think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence. it's one more part of our commitment to america.

well, for nearly two months u.s. marine sergeant has been sitting in a mexican jail because he made a wrong turn and crossed the border with three guns he legally owns here in the united states. the turn only marked by this little sign. the mexicoant military even made the same mistake. >> millions intentionally cross our borders with drugs, guns and more and the u.s. government says let them stay. how does this make sense? nice to see you, sir. what do you make of the time frame? been nearly two months since he crossed the border. can't the federal government pick up the phone and do anything about this? >> this underscores the problem. the mexican government in its judicial system still isn't up to modern standards. you know if this happened with

canada or a european country this would be sorted out in a matter of hours. for some reason the mexican system is still in, i won't say corruption in this case, but less than a modern state this should give americans pause if they make a mistake like this and this guy is in jail now for going on 60 days, what happens if the a mistake is made in my case and i take vacation in mexico? every year 6 million americans vacation in mexico. >> do we need to do something economically to punish them for not giving our hero back to us you mentioned tourists. what about mexican exports? >> that may be something that an administration would like to consider. i don't think this administration is interested in playing hardball with mexico at all. the contrast is amazing. every year over 400,000 illegal aliens enter the united states across our southern border.

most of them mexico nationals. what do we do? we refuse to deport them. this administration won't detain them. many are invited to stay, but take the contrast to this sergeant. he enters legally, declares himself at the port of entry and they throw him in prison. it's outrageous. to think about the business we are sending to mexico. i was just down there not too long ago the first time seeing these big american businesses setting up shop there and these entire towns popping up there, a burgeoning middle class, $60 billion u.s. imports from mexico. $90 billion u.s. companies invest in the mexican economy. look at the last number, $22 billioning my rant workers in the u.s. send back to mexico each year to help support their families. >> it's an extraordinary amount of money mexico derives. for them to be allowing this to

happen is just not very smart on their part. they are putting at risk so much money, so much trade, so much tourism. again, the legal facts of this case are very easy. this guy should not have been detained at all. he's enter at a port of entry. he's not crossing the border somewhere else. he's declaring himself immediately that owe does not want to enter. that's different from somebody entering in a remote part of the border and trying to evade authorities. technically, he never entered mexico. when you're at a port of entry you are at this in-between land declaring as someone intending to effort. there is no case against him. >> there was nothing nefarious and the 911 calls show that. he is being called uncle

tom. what does this sports commentator think about that. >> when i say i don't give a damn, i can't even -- that does it no justice. i stand by everything that i say yesterday. >> yes says critics just don't get it. >> plus -- looking for a new car? this weekend is a great time to buy. american-made cars coming up next. >> mike already stole this car. >> boys will be boys. oh! the name your price tool! you tell them how much you want to pay, and they help you find a policy that fits your budget. i told you to wear something comfortable! this is a polyester blend! whoa!

economy, but an acura. >> isn't that the same company? >> acura is the upscale honda. this is about $27,000. there is a nice incentive right now and probably the least expensive of all these to own and operate. >> you don't need keys any more, right? >> no. most are push button. >> see that thing? i keep that in my pocket. then you turn it on. >> foot on the brake. >> foot on the brake and there you go. >> very quiet. janua jan, great to know you. >> here we go. see you, guys. >> i love this car. look out. hey, uso women, hi! >> pull over. where is he going? we have a show to do.

alright, russ. back to work!

carsthey're why we innovate. they're who we protect. they're why we make life less complicated. it's about people.

we are volvo of sweden. just in time for memorial day, a company in california has created a new grill that can actually text you when your burgers are done. they say it's a great way to enjoy grilling with none of the fun of grilling. i'm going to sit inside till my phone beeps. >> it's so true. it's memorial weekend. time to get your grill on and eat a lot of burgers. >> we have the weber grill master here. the author of the brand-new cookbook "weber's big book of burgers" jamie, nice to see you this morning. >> this is a big book.

that's a lot of burgers. >> for burgers and a lot of classic backyard fare. >> what do we need to have with our meat as we start the process making a good burger? >> good question. i have a section called the five steps to burger brilliance in the books. we are not talking about ordinary burgers here. we are looking at brilliant. if you are going with beef, i suggest you use ground chuck with an 80/20 ratio so it's 20% fat. don't buy hamburger meat. that typically has scraps in it. the stuff that's not particularly fabulous. >> from china. >> maybe. you never know. >> they'll mix it all together. >> get some good chuck. i like to add to it. i like to add extra moisture and flavor. minced onion is a great way to go, maybe soy sauce, maybe a little bit offe worcestershire

sauce. >> are these the steps? >> yes. one is the meat. once you made the patties, shape them with a dimple in the middle. use the thumb or the back of the spoon. >> that's adorable. >> isn't it cute? it's a very practical purpose. >> why is that? >> have you ever created a meatball instead of a hamburger? they shrink up and they get a domed effect? this is why you do that. another tip is about the grill. it's about handling the heat properly. you want to handle the heat. you don't want the heat handling you. >> mike stole one of your burgers over there. no wonder he stole burgers. >> the grill has got to be hot. 400 to 500 degrees. the lid should be closed as much

as possible to keep the grill hot. >> we want to keep flipping them so we look like we are doing something? >> it's a trade-off. do you want to look like the manly man doing stuff or have a fabulous burger? >> i want a delicious burger. >> close the lid to trap a good smoky flavor and the burger cooks faster so it will be juicier in the end. that is really important. let me show you some of the burgers in the book. i've got some nontraditional burgers. this is a salmon burger with a pineapple ginger relish. this is a pork burger, carolina burger with a creamy slaw. we are in a burger renaissance where it's not just about the meat. guacamole and bacon top our weber extreme burgers. this is on the cover of the

book. >> where can people find these? >> wherever cookbooks are sold, this is "weber's big book of burgers." have a glorious weekend. >> that's how you win a woman. need to win anna. back to you. >> 34 minutes after the hour on this saturday morning headlines for you now. we are looking at live pictures from the national mall in washington, d.c. in less than 30 minutes, more than 450 people will read off the names of the nearly 7,000 american heroes who died in the line of duty since the terrorist attack on 9/11. retired chief of staff for the u.s. army general george casey joined us earlier to talk about the significance of this ceremony. >> to do it at the vietnam memorial which has become a place of healing for the entire country is a great way to start to put the last 13 years of war behind us.

>> you can watch the live stream of the ceremony on the vietnam veteran memorial fund website. espn commentator labels a traitor, sellout and uncle tom for defending these comments by dallas mavericks owner mark cuban. >> we are all prejudice in one way or another. if i see a black kid in a hoodie and it's late at night, i'm walking to the other side of the street. if i'm on that side of the street and is there a guy that has tattoos all over his face, white guy, bald head, tattoos everywhere, i'm walking back to the other side of the street. >> stephen a. smith agreed with cuban and said he received a lot of flack from many people doing so, including some of his closest friends. smith responding to those critics saying he doesn't care if people hate him for it and critics just don't get it. >> stephen a. smith ain't black,

you ain't one of us. these are the kind of things said to me yesterday. i do understand that to some degree there is a level of racism we all have to come and i get all of that, but that doesn't mean every single issue is race-related. sometimes it is about how you represent yourself. >> smith says he backs cuban 100%. 36 minutes after the hour. more controversial news from the 9/11 museum, a cheese plate is in the shape of the united states with hearts where the attacks took place in new york city, washington, d.c. and pennsylvania. a spokesperson says every item in the gift shop was carefully selected. have you ever felt more stressed at home than at work? a new study shows getting the family ready in the morning and preparing dinner at night is

more stressful than a day at the office. researchers at penn state say women are more affected by stress in the home because they take on the brunt of household chores. office work paled in comparison to juggling dinner, laundry and taking care of the kids. you live in a studio apartment, it's much easier. welcome to new york. your first trip. graduation trip? >> yes, sir. >> enjoy. good dad. who brought you here? >> take a look at the weather maps. amarillo, texas, just north there is a lake called lake meredith. they stopped putting water, feeding as much water into this because of the ongoing drought. that gives you an idea. that was a lake. you are getting rain this morning. it's great news. you are going to see rain and thunderstorms all morning long. keep sending me pictures. we will have more scattered showers across the northeast today as the day heats up. nothing will be a washout but

keep an umbrella handy and get inside if you hear the thunder or see the lightning. across parts of the high plains we'll have more severe weather. hail and wind tomorrow farther off toward the east and the same area by the time we get to monday. coming up on the show, should he stay or should he go? the call is for secretary shinseki to resign getting louder by the day. is that a good idea? colonel ralph peters says no. we'll ask him why next. everybody watch your wallet. pick-pocketing is on the rise. the pick pocket mast per himself showing us how to avoid becoming a target. >> a check from neil cavuto on "the cost of freedom business" block. forget burgers, you are getting grilled this weekend with all these price spikes. exactly what is driving them and

can anything stop them? >> think it's only accidents on the road you've got to worry about? try the skies. >> fast food workers want to supersize their paychecks. if you have moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, like me, and you're talking to your rheumatologist about a biologic... this is humira. this is humira helping to relieve my pain. this is humira helping me lay the groundwork. this is humira helping to protect my joints from further damage. doctors have been prescribing humira for ten years. humira works by targeting and helping to block a specific source of inflammation

that contributes to ra symptoms. humira is proven to help relieve pain and stop further joint damage in many adults. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal events, such as infections, lymphoma, or other types of cancer, have happened. blood, liver and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure have occurred. before starting humira, your doctor should test you for tb. ask your doctor if you live in or have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. tell your doctor if you have had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have symptoms such as fever, fatigue, cough, or sores. you should not start humira if you have any kind of infection. take the next step. talk to your doctor. this is humira at work.

iwas thathe biggest vit gave me...ar... confidence to buy my very first car... and to walk out of that dealership... and know that i got a good deal. save time, save money, and never overpay. visit truecar.com check out these stories. take a look at this close call

in england. a train slamming on its emergency brakes coming within inches of hitting a man who jumped on to the tracks. this 21-year-old guy was drunk and high. he was sentenced to 16 weeks in prison. and holy cow, look at this. there is a cow trotting, scampering. this is morristown, new jersey. the cow and a bull friend escaped from a local farm. police eventually caught up with the cow, but the bull remains on the loose. that is a moving violation. >> i live right near there. if i see him today, i'll invite him over. one month after the veterans affair scandal broke, cries for secretary shinseki's resignations have grown by the day. colonel ralph pete ers, always

great to see you on the show. over the past few weeks, of course, you know the calls for his resignation getting louder and louder. you say he needs to stay. why? >> he certainly needs to stay unless somebody can give me the name of somebody who is going to do a better job. it just outrages me that you've got this lynch mob mentality, which i am not going to join to get shinseki. you're hearing cries from people on capitol hill, mostly democrats but republicans who know nothing about the v.a. and never served in our military. suddenly in an election year have discovered we have disabled veterans. they are calling for shinseki to go. you know what? they haven't bothered to check on how hard this guy has worked. is general shinseki perfect? there hasn't been a perfect man

walking the earth since jesus christ and that's nearly 2,000 years. he lost half his foot in vietnam. instead of doing what so many retired senior officers do, he didn't get out and take the millions working for defense industry. he took one of the most thankless jobs in washington, trying hard and making real progress fixing the v.a. now we blame him? >> we had general casey on the show earlier this morning who supports him and said shinseki should stay. he agrees with you in that. i think you're right. there is this move in washington. it's easy to jump on a bandwagon than take a deep breath and think through these things before jumping to conclusions. many are arguing this all happened on his watch. right? much of it has happened lately on his watch. we have the report back in december. yet nothing has been done. at least to the public. has something been done and

shouldn't he be held accountable for that? >> certainly positive things have been done. he's been trying really hard to fix v.a. it's unfair to expect general shinseki in five years to overcome the results of a half century of neglect and underfunding, plus we've got a wave of aging vietnam vets who suddenly need care. veterans from recent wars have been kept alive by military medicine. in earlier wars they would have died. they require higher levels of care. the medical care itself is overwhelmingly very, very good. my vet friends are happy with that. the complaints are about the administrative side. that administrative side is a problem throughout the federal government because of protections for civil servants have gotten excessive. union regulations. procurement rules that don't let us buy good information technology. we can argue this back and forth forever. i believe general shinseki is the right man for this job at this time. give him more time. if you want to blame someone,

blame the members of congress who provide the funding and oversight for v.a. where have they been? and oh by the way, i hate when anybody politicalizes veterans' issues. the v.a. was in worse shape during the bush years. shinseki improved it. suddenly in a campaign year, it's an issue. call me old fashioned, but i believe integrity is more important than popularity. i stand by general shinseki. >> do you think he is going to go? do you think he will be the fall by for this? >> this guy is a hero forring aall this crap. if i were shinseki, i would have said sayonara a long time ago. blame congress. the obama administration hasn't really cared about veterans. shinseki has been waging a lonely battle and we are attacking the guy that's done

his best to fix the mess. >> do you agree on this? >> hope you have a good memorial day weekend. >> thank you. >> they can take your wallet, phone or purse in mere seconds. up next the pick pocket master. if i told you that a free ten-second test

could mean less waiting for things like security backups and file downloads you'd take that test, right? well, what are you waiting for?

you could literally be done with the test by now. now you could have done it twice. this is awkward. check your speed. see how fast your internet can be. switch now and add voice and tv for $34.90. comcast business built for business.

think you are immune to pickpocketing? think again. it's on the rise in recent years. thieves seen on camera swiping wallets while people don't even realize it. >> back on the show, we have the pick pocking expert. >> give them a chance to steal from me. i have two waugets and one phone. this is a fake one you manage to steal. it's not a real one. i have it in areas where there is a lot of foot traffic, and put it down and the newspaper besides, and i let them steal. the wallet, i lost 150 times, eilei lean in, and i say i do the same

thing as you, and they get nervous. >> i have a wallet on me, and d. >> it's a little distraction, right. >> it could be a small excuse, like something a little small to get nearby in your space. >> but sometimes you can't help but be in somebody's face. if you are on the subway -- >> you have my glasses! >> it's like inviting. it's too easy -- >> no, my wallet is gone! >> here is what i want to tell you. if you have the wallet this way in your pocket, we call that standing. lying in the bed, that's a term for when the wallet is this way. that's what you want, this way. because then it's not going to be come out of the pocket. the thieve has to go in twice, first time, change it and make it stand up -- >> you are going to think somebody is getting fresh.

>> what if i where pants. buttoned pants? >> i always say people say which pocket? it's not front or back, it's the tightest. >> i work with a woman that keeps stuff in her bra. >> even sreeventually when you e it comes loose. you think it's a hand going into the pockets? not always. the lifting from the handbag? it could be as simple as -- >> what is that? >> this is the tool the thieve has. they come from the behind, and slide -- >> look at that! >> they pull it from behind.

they take a wire hangar inside their jacket and they let it drop down, the wire hangar, and they pull it. >> so that's what you do for wallets if you are a man, and if you are a female and you have a purse, what do you do? >> i saw at least one-third of the women having handbags, the grasp was not on, and the magnet was not closed and the zipper was not closed and the thieve looks for that. they are always going to have something over their hands, so when they go it's not going to be barehanded. >> thank you. you have seen our heroes head to head in the battle of tug of war. now it's our turn. we are taking on our military members -- >> oh, what is wrong with us?
