 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 and Friends. America's listening to Fox News.
