 Eight deaths have been reported so far. A 4th of July tradition is going to go on today without its star. 16-time Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest winner Joey Chestnut will not be competing in Coney Island, New York, because of a sponsorship tiff. Instead, he's competing against soldiers at a U.S. Army base in El Paso. It's wonderful to be a part of people's 4th of July, and especially people that are putting their life on the line for our country. Joey Joe has Chestnut on Fox & Friends. America's listening to Fox News.
